Boxing and Rodeo
Blacks in Alberta excelled in a variety of sports, including baseball, track and field, football, and boxing. Boxing, or pugilism as it was called in the 19th and early 20th centuries, was primarily a working-class activity because it appealed mainly to society's economic underclasses—including Blacks. Prior to 1950, Alberta's best-known Black athletes were primarily boxers, reflecting their direct association with Alberta's working-class culture. Upper-class society was completely disinterested in the sport: many viewed it as deviant and marred with grotesque violence. Early 20th-century boxing often implicated such issues as class and ethnicity; one can therefore begin to understand the direct connection between the sport of boxing and Black athletes in Alberta.
One of Alberta's most prominent and successful boxers was Joe "Dad" Cotton. Born into salvery on 26 February 1853, Cotton later moved to the American West Coast and became a heavyweight prizefighter. When Cotton was 46—arguably at the peak of his career—he continued to scrap with opponents in California: some matches would last close to 30 rounds and several hours. Cotton was a well-respected boxer throughout North America and once served as a sparring partner for Jack Johnson, the first Black heavyweight champion of the world.
Having moved to Edmonton in 1912, Cotton soon opened a local boxing club where he trained, coached, and developed young boxers and even refereed bouts. He was instrumental in actively promoting the sport of boxing in Edmonton until his death in 1949 at the age of 96. A true physical specimen, Cotton fought his last match at the remarkable age of 61, sending his opponent to the canvas and winning in a knockout. He was also an active member of his local church and founded an all-Black lodge in Edmonton.
Other boxers soon followed in Cotton's footsteps. Brothers Richard and Nathaniel Lipscombe participated in boxing matches during the 1920s. Harvey Bailey, also known as "Flash" Bailey because of his lightning-quick speed, won the Western Canadian featherweight championship in 1935. Another Edmontonian, Benny Geary, won the Western Canadian welterweight championship, while Vern Escoe held the Canadian heavyweight championship in the 1940s. Doug Harper of Amber Valley was Canada's light-heavyweight champion in the early 1950s.
John Ware was the creator of the modern rodeo. A pioneering rancher working in southern and central Alberta, Ware gained considerable respect among the locals for his impressive ability to ride unbroken horses. Ware boasted to friends and family that he had "the distinction of never having been thrown from a horse." He garnered even more praise when he "accidentally" invented steer wrestling, a central feature of any modern rodeo event.
In 1892, when confronted by a charging steer, Ware instinctively reached for its horns and wrapped his other arm around the steer's head, which he twisted, eventually wrestling the steer to the ground. Later that year, Ware demonstrated this new technique at an equestrian show in Calgary, and the crowd was instantaneously mesmerized by his sheer power and ability. At the Calgary Fair the next year, Ware dominated a steer roping and tying contest. Shortly thereafter, events such as these began to replace exhibition events and the modern competitive rodeo was born.
Of interest, the term "rodeo" is derived from the Spanish verbrodear meaning "to surround or round-up." The term rodeo, however, was not used until the mid-1910s. Prior to this, events such as the one created by John Ware were featured in what was commonly referred to as "cowboy competitions."
More information on John Ware is available through the Glenbow Museum's Web site, Mavericks: An Incorrigible History of Alberta. Simply follow the link to Ranching which appears in the top right corner of the Web site's graphical interface, then follow the link from the photo of John Ware (second from the left in the top row).

A No-Fuss Method for Cooking Almost Any Whole Grain
I don't bother with carefully measuring water or fiddling around with getting just the right flame when I cook whole grains on the stove. Instead, I cook pretty much every type of grain using the same no-fuss method — with great results every time.
Basically, I use the same method for cooking whole grains that I use for cooking pasta: I simmer the grains in a good amount of salted water until they are the right texture, and then drain them. Some grains like quinoa benefit from a 10-minute rest in the covered pot after draining, which gives a better texture, but for most of the other grains I use on a regular basis, such as barley, wheat berries, or farro, this isn't necessary.
Brown rice is the only whole grain I don't use this method for, as I prefer the texture when it is cooked in the traditional way, but it can done. In fact, Saveur uses it in their recipe for Perfect Brown Rice.
A couple hints when using this method:
- When cooking quinoa, watch for the point when most of the grains have little spirals (the germ) curling around them. That's when it's done cooking. Drain it, put it back in the pot off the heat and cover it for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork and serve.
- For all other grains, periodically taste as they cook and drain them once they are cooked through and soft.
- Very hard grains like wheat berries will need 45 minutes or more of simmering, so add water if too much boils off during cooking.
- As with pasta, generously salt the water. You can also add bay leaf, herb sprigs, garlic cloves or other aromatics that can be easily removed once the grains are cooked through.
Have you ever tried this method? How do you cook whole grains?

When consumers believe a product is creative, they are more likely to like, share, and buy it. And yet not everyone agrees on what "creativity" looks like.
Jeffrey Loewenstein and I recently published a study examining the features that indicate whether a product is creative in the world's two largest economies, the U.S. and China. We found that the two countries had different views of what made a product creative. For example, the kind of product that an American loves and finds highly creative might seem trivial to a Chinese person. In contrast, the kind of product that a Chinese person finds creative might lack distinctiveness to an American.
All products have a constellation of features; we identified 26 cues that at least one of the two cultures nominated as relevant to creativity. To understand the psychology of how each culture views creativity, it's helpful to know what both cultures agree indicates creativity, and then move to the features where there is disagreement.
The list below identifies the cues both cultures agree indicate an idea is creative:
 - Paradigm shift. A significant change in thinking that a product or process represents
 - Breakthrough. Doing something others failed to accomplish or did not think could be done
 - Potential. Future possibilities opened up as a result of the product or process
 - Rarity. The unusualness of a product or process
 - Repurposing. Taking something from one context and adapting it to a second
 - Surprise. The affective reaction something inspires, such as amazement or astonishment
 - Art. The aesthetics of the product or process
 - Combination. Integrating functions, features, or other aspects that are typically distinct
 - High tech. Concerned with the role of technology
 - Joy. Happiness or fun involved in engaging with something
While Americans look only at the cues on this list, Chinese consumers consider a much broader range of cues to determine whether something is creative. For a Chinese person, it isn't enough that an idea is a breakthrough; they also look at whether the idea itself has proven broad appeal.
For example, one of the most striking differences we saw depended on whether the product was for a mass market. The Chinese believed that the mere fact that a product was for the mass market indicated the product was creative. But Americans believed that being designed for a mass market did not make a product creative. Consider the Apple Watch, which has performed short of expectations. The Apple Watch was advertised as the first mass-market wearable. I believe one reason the product underperformed in the U.S. is that Apple tried to sell it using a term that killed the feeling of "fit" for Americans, who associate Apple with creativity and thinking differently. Ironically, this same strategy (according to our findings) might work very well in China.
Another important cue is whether the product is described as a brand. In China, talking about a brand or evoking a brand name is highly compatible with creativity. But for 70% of Americans, talking about a brand can kill their view that the product is creative. If your goal is to sell a creative product (as opposed to a product with a proven track record), talking about your brand will place your product in the "not creative" box in Americans' minds.
There were several other points on which Americans and Chinese disagreed. For example, if an idea has high levels of social approval (e.g., Facebook likes, Kickstarter investors, downloads) the Chinese believed the idea was highly creative, but Americans did not. Likewise, ideas with cues related to being fashionable, credible (e.g., because they had celebrity backing), feasible, widely used, and easy to use were seen as not creative to Americans, while the Chinese viewed these cues as key for creativity.
What we think our findings mean is that when Americans say a product is creative, they mean it is distinctive. So, features of the product that communicate its wide acceptance (such as whether the idea is fashionable or has celebrity endorsement), feasibility, or ease of use can simply indicate the product is common, not unique. Chinese consumers, on the other hand, think new ideas that aren't widely endorsed must lack creativity — so why pay attention to them?
When marketers communicate ideas (and when decision makers choose ideas to pursue), they should focus on the features that fit with their target consumers' creativity cues.

How the Vitters Got to Clerval
Although they've never met in person, Jeffrey Scott Vitter and Jean-Pierre Vitter, who are 4th cousins 1x removed, feel a special kinship through their shared passion for genealogy. In 2002, Jean-Pierre put together a comprehensive and entertaining account of the Vitter generations, entitled A tous les Vitter du monde (To All the Vitters of the World).
The story starts with their ancestor Hérard Vitter/Witter (1772–1843), who moved from "l'Autriche antérieure" to the town of Clerval in the Doubs department, Franche-Comté region of eastern France in the spring of 1799. Jean-Pierre chronicled many of Hérard's descendants as well as some family legends. One legend concerned two brothers who came to Clerval from Austria en route to America. One brother fell in love and stayed behind, and the other brother continued onward, reportedly to the Galápagos. Another legend recounts that a Vitter ancestor was an illegitimate son of Holy Roman Emperor Charles Quint (Charles V, 1500–1558)!
The big mystery that remained was exactly where Hérard Vitter came from originally. All we knew at the time was the cryptic information Franche-Comté, France genealogist Roger Chipaux found in August 2000, namely, that Hérard was from "Biethiruge (canton de Chafferesse Suenchingen)" according his 1799 marriage record, from "Süenchingen (canton de Schaffhouse (Bade))" according his 1833 naturalization record, and from "Autriche" (Austria) according to his 1848 death record. Hérard's parents in the old country were Mathieu Vitter (1737–1818) and (Maria) Ursule (née Jaeckle) Wider (1737–1813). Genealogist Joelle Minary learned in May 2001 Hérard's son was Pierre Vitter (1803–1846), who emigrated with his wife and kids from France to New Orleans in 1843, as described in the history The Aha! Moment That Led to This Website.
Jean-Pierre solved the mystery of Hérard Vitter's origins in 2019 in his follow-up account, Le sang qui coule dans nos veines (The Blood That Runs in Our Veins): Hérard was actually born as "Erhardus Wider" in Bietingen (near Gottmadingen), Germany, which is on the Swiss border, three miles north of the Rhine River and five miles northeast of the northern Swiss village of Schaffhausen. In Spring 1799, Hérard emigrated from Bietingen about 150 miles west to Clerval, France. He changed his name from the German "Wider" to the similar-sounding French spelling "Witter" and eventually to "Vitter."
We now know of a long line of Hérard's Wider ancestors in Germany, such as his parents Mathieu (Mathaeus) Wider (1737–1818) and (Maria) Ursule (née Jaeckle) Wider (1737–1813), grandparents Joannes Wider (1701–?) and Maria (née Schneble) Wider (1700–1739), and great grandparents Simon Wider (1667–1736) and Anna Maria (née Schietknecht) Wider (1678–?). More is yet to come. Jean-Pierre has traced a relation using DNA to the ancient Wider family from Pfeffingen, Germany.
Bietingen was formerly part of "l'Autriche antérieure" ("exterior Austria"), thus relating to the mention of Austria in Hérard's death record and in the family legend about the brothers from Austria. Hérard got married six months after arriving in Clerval, so presumably Hérard is the brother who fell in love and stayed behind; we haven't yet fully resolved the part of the legend about his brother and where he went, although Jean-Pierre Vitter's mother Simone (née Riot) Vitter told him once of some Vitter descendants from South America who visited her in France while on vacation. Knowing the actual family names and birthplaces is leading to lots of new information about Vitter/Wider relatives throughout Europe and America. There is also a family connection 1,300 years ago with King of Francs Pépin le Bref (715 AD–768 AD) and his son, Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne (748 AD–814 AD)! But we still haven't found a definitive connection to Charles Quint ;-)
One big open question is whether there is any relation between the Vitter line from Clerval (which Jean-Pierre and Jeff belong to) and the Vitter line from the Ardennes region (which, for example, Yves Vitter and Valérie (née Vitter) Mouradian belong to). Jean-Pierre believes that the name change from Wider to Witter to Vitter makes it improbable that the two lines of Vitters are related since they would each have had to make the same name change independently. Making the same change independently is certainly feasible, since "Vitter" in French is pronounced essentially like "Wider" is pronounced in German (though with the emphasis on the second syllable rather than the first), but it still does raise questions.
A family story suggests that the Ardennes line of the Vitter family originally lived in Alsace and relocated to the Ardennes when Germany appropriated Alsace during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. (That story is still to be investigated, since the family members seem to have been born in the Ardennes well before that time; see the history entitled Avant et après l'« Aha! moment » for more details about these and other Vitters.) Perhaps the story of "the other brother," when fully resolved, may shed light on the connections to other parts of the family. Aparently that story is true: Jean-Pierre said that his mother Simone Vitter had once met some descendants of the Galápagos line of the Vitter family during a visit they made to France.
It's interesting to note that Jeff Vitter's spouse Sharon (née Weaver) Vitter, who grew up around Paola, Miami County, Kansas, had a 1st cousin 2x removed in nearby Johnson County, Kansas named Evelyn Leona Morgan (1919–2008), and Evelyn married Forest Ellis Witter (1917–2002), whose ancestors came from the Strasbourg, France area, not far from Clerval, France and Bietingen, Germany. For example, Forest's great great grandfather Michael Witter (circa 1784–1840) was born and lived in Hattmat, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France. His son John Witter (1821–1912) emigrated to suburban Kansas City, Missouri, just east of Sharon's hometown of Paola, Miami County, Kansas.

I need to change a function named "CalibrationLevel" but first I want to make sure I understand completely it's role in the system, in this case Qt 5.9.
How to do it in Softagram?
 1. Locate the function: just type "CalibrationLevel" to the search bar. Search is case-insensitive.
 2. Right click the function in question and select Inbound View from dropdown menu.
 3. To see all possible call paths, you want to increase the "Dependency Lookup Level". Below I increased it from 1 to 5.
 4. To see the function level details across the call paths you might need to increase the "Detail Level" too (in my example it is 11). Note that I used "Aggregated Incoming Dependency" KPI to highlight the most critical components along the call paths.
In 15 seconds you can get full understanding how your change would affect the whole system, and it could easily save an hour of grepping and constructing an idea of the dependencies in your mind, or drawing it to a piece of paper.
Extra tip:
Now that you have readily proper view settings for call paths, you can check them for any function just by typing the function name to the search bar.
E.g. in the example above, searching again for "CalibrationLevel" would give me the graph of all functions named "CalibrationLevel" (instead of just the one we looked at above), showing their users and possible refactoring targets:

Upgrading Cisco 1252 AP to Lightweight Mode
Preparing for the Upgrade
You must complete these tasks before beginning the upgrade from autonomous to lightweight mode:
 1. Prepare the infrastructure so that the upgraded lightweight access point discovers a controller.
 2. The autonomous access points must be running Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)JA or later to perform the lightweight mode conversion. If necessary, upgrade the access point to Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)JA or later. For C3201WMIC, upgrade to 12.3(8)JK or later.
 3. Prepare the controller for the upgrade process.
 4. Download the Autonomous to Lightweight Mode Upgrade Tool and the upgrade image file from Cisco.com

Preparing the Infrastructure
No lightweight access point can operate independently from a WLC. Each lightweight access point must discover a WLC, issue an LWAPP join request, and if successful, receive a join response to become joined to a controller.
The LWAPP discovery algorithm follows these steps:
 1. Initiates an IP subnet broadcast of an LWAPP controller discovery message. If the controller management interface is on the same IP subnet as the lightweight access point, this discovery mechanism is successful.
 2. Lists the previously joined controllers. This discovery mechanism requires prior success joining an access point and controller.
 3. Establishes over-the-air provisioning (OTAP). If OTAP is turned on, access points advertise their controller(s) over the air. New access points discover the controller based on the OTAP messages. OTAP is turned off by default on the controllers. OTAP is not supported for controller discovery during the upgrade process from autonomous to lightweight access point. After an access point is fully migrated to the lightweight mode, OTAP is used to discover controllers.
 4. Uses DHCP option 43. This vendor-specific option can return one or more controller IP addresses to an access point in the DHCP offer message. The access point sends an LWAPP join message to the controller.
 5. Establishes DNS resolution of CISCO-LWAPP-CONTROLLER.localdomain. If the access point can resolve the name, it issues an LWAPP join message to the resolved IP address.
 6. Reboots and repeats starting with Step 1
Upgrading the 1252 AP to Lightweight Mode
The Cisco Utility version 3.2 does not support the conversion of 1140 and 1250 series autonomous access points to lightweight mode. To convert these autonomous access points to lightweight mode, telnet to the access point and issue the following command to upgrade the IOS:
archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp://location/image-name
Troubleshooting
 - Remote AP doesn't register to the Controller. Telnet to the AP and enter the command lwapp ap controller ip address a.b.c.d

Specialized root structures of bald cypress that grow vertically above water or moist soil. It is thought that these structures aid the oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange in the roots.
| Bald Cypress - knees
Montezuma Cypress - no knees
Q: I have bald cypress trees in my yard. The root nodules are becoming a problem with my lawn mower. Would it damage the trees if I trimmed them off at ground level? B.D., Dallas.
A: Yes, the knees are part of the root system. Change the area to mulch or ground cover and try to dry out the soil. The knees grow in overly moist soil.
QUESTION: I have a bald cypress, and the roots are coming out of the ground all around the yard. Some are close to the tree and some are far away. The roots come out of the ground for about 12 inches or less and then go back into the ground. How can I keep this from happening? Can I cut the roots that are already protruding without hurting the tree? K.E., Fort Worth
ANSWER: This is a characteristic of bald cypress. Their roots always do this to some degree, especially when the ground stays moist to wet. Improving the drainage and reducing your use of water will help, but the only way to eliminate the protruding roots is to remove the tree. I would suggest instead that you use mulch or plant a groundcover around the tree so you won't need to mow over or around cypress roots.

ESSENTIAL NEWS FOR AGRI-RETAILERS
SPONSORED BY FERTILIZER CANADA: Fertilizer is one of nature's most complex and beneficial resources, as it allows soil to become more productive and yield better crops. Without it, we simply couldn't produce enough corn, wheat, rice, or other crops needed to feed the world's population. Faced with a growing global population, less arable land, and environmentally-conscious consumers, farmers are looking for ways to grow more crops on the same land while protecting the environment. It's a tall order to be sure, but farmers are up to the challenge.
CAAR has helped members weather regulatory changes for 25 years.
When the members of the Western Fertilizer and Chemical Dealers Association (WFCDA) voted to form a national organization, they sought to achieve more clout with regulators. The new organization would be better positioned to help ensure decision makers considered the agri-retailer perspective when creating policy that would affect their businesses. No issue illustrates this better than the ongoing work CAAR has done on behalf of its members regarding anhydrous ammonia (NH3) regulations.
Digital connectedness is changing the agronomic conversation.
Prairie Certified Crop Adviser (PCCA) Board chair Kelly Boles says Canadian farmers are increasingly turning to Twitter with queries on many different aspects of crop production, from insect identification to grain drying.
CAAR has completed year one of its long-term strategic plan, developed in fall 2018 to guide the association's focus and direction. As we prepare to embark on the next phase of our long-term strategy, we also enter a new decade of supporting agri-retailers influencing world class food production.
A look at CAAR's plans and priorities for 2020.
CAAR's staff, board of directors and committee groups are putting in the work to ensure the association is well-equipped at all levels to provide valuable services and dependable support to its members in the next year, and throughout the new decade.
1995 AN ASSOCIATION IS BORN:
The Western Fertilizer and Chemical Dealers Association (WFCDA) unanimously votes to dissolve the organization and transfer its funds to a new national association. With that, the Canadian Association of Agri-Retailers, headquartered in Winnipeg, Man., is born. Randy Wogelmuth is elected president of the CAAR board of directors; Jacqueline Ryrie is the association's first executive director.
Canadian Agricultural Safety Week (CASW) has officially launched. This year's theme is Keeping Kids Safe.
Ag More Than Ever has shared a new video that encourages everyone in the agriculture community to tell their story about how Canadian food is made.
Every year corn farmers face the risk of costly plant diseases that can significantly reduce their yields and profitability.

This question is a derivative of a previous question: Source control - How to version resources that are shared across projects
I have a project that contains code that is consumed by many other projects. Specifically, one folder in this parent project has been branched to dependent child projects.
We have since made changes in the parent project and checked them in. In Source Control Explorer, I right click on the branched folder in the parent project and select "Merge", intending to push the changes to a dependent project. I select the child project as a destination and then select "Latest Version". The wizard informs me "There are no changes to merge."
From my perspective, this isn't true, since the recently updated files are clearly different.
Is there a fundamental misunderstanding of the merge process in TFS here? What do I need to do differently?

The TFS merge engine relies almost entirely on history, not file contents. This makes it efficient for very large trees, and flexible for tasks like safely cherry-picking changes -- but it also makes answering your question difficult.
The first step is to understand the diagnostic commands tf history, tf merges, and tf merge /candidate. Here is a good introduction:
If you are new to branching & merging in TFS then your history is probably not very complex. I think it's likely you'll find your answer with one quick call to tf merges. However, tracing merge history can become extremely convoluted in the general case, so if you have trouble feel free to post back with more details.
share|improve this answer
Go to one specific file you know has changed in your "parent" project. Try merging just that file. Don't check anything in; just see what happens.
Something to watch for: The merge tools will not include files that have been added after you branch. You have to branch new files explicitly before you can merge any further changes. If a file is added to both parent and child folders without using a branch operation, the merge tools don't treat them as versions of the same file (and you can't merge changes between them).
share|improve this answer
Corrections: * Newly added files do not have a merge relationship with other branches until they're themselves branched = TRUE. (note: can be a "branch, delete") * The workaround is to merge the specific file = FALSE. Won't work. Correct answer is to merge a parent that does have a relationship. * Files added to both branches in parallel will not merge = FIXED IN 2008. See #1-2 from… - but note that if the contents don't match, you're stuck with a version conflict that has no "base" info; merging will be a pain. – Richard Berg Jun 11 '09 at 23:22

The low lying land bordering the Atlantic will be subjected to inundations from tidal waves during the pole shift to an astonishing degree. Waves hundreds of feet high carry a tremendous force of water behind them, which breaks barriers before it and climbs up and over barriers such as hills that stand in its way. Where France connects the Mediterranean and the Atlantic near the border with Spain, it will be subject to sloshing water from both water sources. As water bodies of different sizes develop sloshing with different rhythms, this area of France can expect a devastating possibility in have a wave come in from both sources at once. This will result in tidal bores roaring up into the valleys of the Alps near Switzerland. Thus, safety in France requires one to be well out of the lowlands and in the Alps north of the double bind that can occur due to wave action.
ZetaTalk
Note the elevation of France. It is not sufficient to evade being flooded when the sea level rises 675 feet above sea level after the pole shift! Waves 500-600 feet high could wash from the Atlantic all the way to the Mediterranean virtually without impediment in southern France. During the hour of the shift there are several forces which will push water across France all the way to the foothills of Switzerland. One is the direction the globe will be moving, moving the Bulge of Brazil up toward the N Pole. This will push water in the North Atlantic down along the UK directly toward the northern coast of Spain, where it will encounter high land and redirect up toward the coast of France. more than the 500-600 foot tides can be expected along the coast of France, as water will be trapped in a pinch there, and thus forced upward across the land with greater force and height.
We have specifically stated that this is tidal bore along the Switzerland border with France, not Germany, as Germany will not experience this tide nor the clash of sloshing that is likely to occur with waters from the Mediterranean. If the initial pole shift slosh will create a pinch at the coastline of France, what do you suppose water being forced over southern France from more than one direction would produce? Pressure, which has nowhere to go but up into the mountains of Switzerland. If you wish to get a better understanding of this, make a model for your bathtub and force water from various or dual directions to see what happens.
ZetaTalk
Clearly Mount Bugarach along the border of France and Spain will be well above the waves after the rise in sea level to 675 feet and will survive all pole shift tides. As the highest mount in the area, and within the borders of France, the people of France could seek shelter there and because of the many myths associated with Bugarach undoubtedly will do so. Beyond that, there is nothing special about the spot as a pole shift refuge. Mountain building in Europe is no longer occurring but in the past for one rock layer to be shoved atop another was not uncommon. This often creates caverns and caves.
ZetaTalk
The 100 foot tsunami that is anticipated to strike the coast of France will quickly dissipate over the lowlands abutting the Atlantic in France and even those parts of France abutting the English Channel, which likewise will experience a 100 foot tsunami. Where France deals with sloshing from both the Atlantic and Mediterranean during the pole shift, during the European tsunami there is only a flow from one direction to deal with, not a clash of waters. Baring the factor of tidal bore, which for the coastline of France is not a consideration, tsunami reach should be prorated from the pole shift slosh guidelines. If a 500-600 foot pole shift slosh requires one to be 100 miles inland and 200 feet up, then a tsunami of 100 feet would be a quarter of this. Those who are 25 miles inland and 50 feet above sea level should find they have avoided the tsunami.

Using the scatterometer data from the ERS-2 satellite, a classification algorithm for sea/ice discrimination, based on Bayesian statistics is introduced. Also a comparison with ice maps obtained by other models and measurements is made.
The differences in backscatter properties between water and ice can be used to infer discrimination criteria.
Ice has isotropic backscatter properties. Water on the other hand has anisotropic backscatter properties, which fact is used to retrieve wind direction. Traditionally people have used simple parameters representing the geophysical properties of ice, like an anisotropy coefficient. Another approach is to use a geophysical model function (GMF) that describes the measurement backscatter data as a function of one or more physical parameters. This method is used for wind retrieval but can be equally well applied for ice retrieval. It has the advantage that the full information content of the measurements is used.
For wind the backscatter GMF naturally is dominated by two parameters, being the wind speed and wind direction. For ice, plots of measured triplets in sigma0-space show that in good approximation all ice points lie on a straight line. This means that the ice GMF can be described with one parameter, being the abscissa along this line. Based on the distance of a measured sigma0 triplet to the ice line and to the wind cone, a Bayesian algorithm can classify the point as ice or as sea.
The ice model proves a useful tool for sea/ice discrimination and could help in the quality control for the wind retrieval procedure. Also it can be used to distinguish between different types of ice, of which the most prominent are firstyear ice and multiyear ice. The calculated ice map is a product in itself based on the scatterometer measurements. It can be used to monitor the development of the ice edge of the Arctic and Antarctic region on a time scale of days.

The documentation here is somewhat misleading. Where it says "This method acts as the destructor of the object. The __destruct() method will not be called after this method," I believe the intent is not that the destructor is not run on the object itself, but that the destructor is not called /as part of the serialization process/.
That is, the object will still be destructed as it goes out of scope as normal, but the destructor is not called as a part of the object's serialization.

I don't like the bad docs here, which are wrongly claiming that "serialize(): This method acts as the destructor of the object. The __destruct() method will not be called after this method.".
They are simply meaning that serialize() will NOT call __destruct(). That is the ONLY thing they mean.
Your object that is being serialized will continue to live as a normal object. So you should NOT treat serialize() as your destructor! Treat your object as a still-living copy that the user may be using!
The destructor will always run as normal, later, when your object goes out of scope (or is forcibly unset() by you)).
Example with proof:
<?php
class A implements Serializable
{
 public
$data = [];
 public function
__destruct()
 {
 echo
"Destruct of A called.\n";
 }
 public function
serialize()
 {

printf("- Serialize of %s called.\n", static::class);
 return
serialize($this->data);
 }
 public function
unserialize($serialized)
 {

printf("- Unserialize of %s called.\n", static::class);

$this->data = unserialize($serialized);
 }
}
class
B extends A
{
 public function
__destruct()
 {
 echo
"Destruct of B called.\n";
 }
}
$a = new A();
$a->data['inner_b'] = new B();
var_dump($a);
echo
"-----------------\n";
echo
"Calling serialize($a):\n";
$str = serialize($a);

Federal Police (Germany)
||This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2013)|
|Common name||Federal Police|
|Logo of the BPOL (since 2009)|
|Formed||July 1 2005|
|Preceding agency||Bundesgrenzschutz (BGS) (Federal Border Guard)|
|Legal personality||Governmental: Government agency|
The Bundespolizei (BPOL) is a (primarily) uniformed federal police force in Germany. It is subordinate to the Federal Ministry of the Interior (Bundesministerium des Innern (BMI)). Ordinary police forces (which are much more sizable in combined numbers) fall under the administration of the individual German states (Bundesländer) and are known as the Landespolizei.
The Bundespolizei was previously known as the Bundesgrenzschutz (BGS) ("Federal Border Guard") and had a more restricted role until July 1, 2005 when the law renaming the BGS as the BPOL was enacted. Prior to 1994 BPOL members also had military combatant status due to their historical foundation and border guard role.
The BPOL has the following missions:
- border security, (Grenzpolizei or Grepo) to include passport control and the provision of coast guard services along Germany's 700 km coasts.
- protection of federal buildings of constitutional organs like Schloss Bellevue, the residence of the German Bundespräsident; they also protect the two highest German courts, both in Karlsruhe:
- providing the federal government's mobile response force for internal security events,
- providing transportation security at international airports and on the German railways
- provides counter-terrorism forces (GSG 9).
- provides air (or sky) marshals.
- supports international police missions for the United Nations and EU in Kosovo, Sudan, Liberia, Afghanistan, Gaza Strip, Moldova and Georgia.
- document adviser for airlines around the world
- provides in-house security for German embassies in several countries
- It is one of several civil organisations providing rescue helicopter service.
The Bundespolizei can also be used to reinforce state police if requested to do so by a state (Land) government. The BPOL maintains these reserve forces to deal with major demonstrations, disturbances or emergencies to supplement the capabilities of the State Operational Support Units. Several highly trained detachments are available for crisis situations requiring armored cars, water cannon or other special equipment.
The BPOL has investigators who conducts criminal investigations only within its jurisdiction; otherwise the cases are referred to the appropriate state police force or to the federal criminal investigative agency, the Federal Criminal Police (Bundeskriminalamt, BKA).
In addition, the Bundespolizei cooperates closely with German state executive authorities such as the Prosecutor's Offices called Staatsanwaltschaft in pursuing criminal investigations.
The Bundespolizei consists of around 40,000 personnel,
- 30,000 are fully trained police officers.
- 10,000 salaried civilian (unarmed) support personnel,
The BPOL national headquarters (BPOL-Präsidium) is in Potsdam performing all central control functions. Eight regional headquarters (BPOL-Direktion) control the BPOL stations conducting rail police and border protection missions. These areas of responsibility conform to the federal state boundaries which they did not do prior to 1 March 2008.
The regional headquarters are as follows:
- Bad Bramstedt covering Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,
- Hanover covering Bremen, Hamburg and Lower Saxony,
- Sankt Augustin covering Northrhine-Westfalia,
- Koblenz covering Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse,
- Stuttgart covering Baden-Württemberg,
- Munich covering Bavaria,
- Pirna covering Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, and
- Berlin covering Berlin and Brandenburg.
These regional headquarters each have an investigation department and a mobile inspection and observation unit. Moreover, they control the 67 BPOL stations (BPOL-Inspektion) which in turn control the Bundespolizeireviere or precincts located in places that require a 24-hour presence by BPOL officers.
A special Direktion is responsible for Frankfurt International Airport.
The central school for advanced and vocational training is in Lübeck and controls the five basic training schools in Swisttal, Neustrelitz, Oerlenbach, Walsrode and Eschwege. It is also in charge of the Federal Police Sport School in Bad Endorf and a competitive sport project in Kienbaum near Berlin. The sport school specialises in winter sport events and has trained many of Germany's top skiers and skaters such as Claudia Pechstein.
The Zentrale Direktion Bundesbereitschaftspolizei controls the mobile support and rapid reaction battalions located in Bayreuth, Deggendorf, Blumberg (near Berlin), Hünfeld, Uelzen, Duderstadt, Sankt Augustin, Bad Bergzabern, Bad Düben and Ratzeburg. The number of Bereitschaftspolizei companies increased in March 2008 from 28 to 29 comprising approx. 25 percent of Germany's police support units.
 BPOL Special Units
The following special units also exist:
- The BPOL Aviation Group is directly subordinate to the BPOL HQ in Potsdam. It controls the five aviation squadrons around the country that operate the force's helicopters. These are located in Fuhlendorf (north, with satellite airfield in Gifhorn), Blumberg (east), Fuldatal (centre), Oberschleißheim (south) and Sankt Augustin (west). Its duties include; border surveillance, monitoring installations belonging to German Rail, helping in serious accidents and disasters in Germany and abroad, searching for missing persons, searching for criminals on the run, supporting the police forces of the federal states, providing transportation for persons whose security is endangered, providing transportation for guests of the Federal government, supporting federal and state authorities, and providing air search and rescue services in coordination with the 12 air rescue centers throughout Germany.
- The BPOL Information and Communications Center is now a department of the BPOL HQ in Potsdam.
- The water police stations with 16 patrol craft and helicopters are part of the German Federal Coast Guard and assigned to coastal BPOL stations. The watercraft include six offshore patrol vessels, e.g. those of the Bad Bramstedt class, as well as a number of fast inshore vessels and one tugboat.
In 1951 the German government established a Federal Border Protection Force (Bundesgrenzschutz or BGS) composed of 10,000 men under the Federal Interior Ministry's jurisdiction. The force replaced allied military organisations such as the U.S. Constabulary then patrolling Germany's international borders. The BGS was described as a mobile, lightly armed police force for border and internal security despite fears that it would be the nucleus of a new West German army. When West Germany did raise an army, BGS personnel were given the choice of staying in the BGS or joining the army. Most decided to join the army.
In 1953, the BGS took control of the German Passport Control Service. In 1976, the state police grades replaced the military rank structure and BGS training was modified to closely match that of the state police forces (Landespolizei). The West German Railway Police (Bahnpolizei), formerly an independent force, and the East German Transportpolizei were restructured under the BGS in 1990. In July 2005, the BGS was renamed the Bundespolizei or BPOL (Federal Police) to reflect its transition to a multi-faceted federal police agency. The change also involved the shift to blue uniforms and livery for vehicles and helicopters. The German Interior Ministry reviewed the structure of the BPOL in 2007 and in March 2008 made the structure leaner to get more officers out of offices and onto patrol.
Bundespolizei vehicles have number plates that are based on the BP XX-YYY system. BP stands for Bundespolizei. Older vehicles may still have the BGS "BG" plates.
XX is a number from 10 to 55 indicating the type of vehicle:
- 10 to 12: Motorcycle
- 15 to 19: Car
- 20 to 24: Four wheel drive car
- 25 to 29: Car
- 30 to 39: Medium four wheel drive vehicle
- 40 to 49: Trucks and buses
- 50 to 54: Armoured cars.
- 55: Trailers
YYY is a combination of up to three numbers.
The Bundespolizei have favoured, and in some cases still favour (where the model is still in production), the following types of car:
- BMW 5-series sedans and station wagons
- Volkswagen Passat sedans and Variant station wagons
- Volkswagen Golf
- Volkswagen Transporter vans

A business exists to create value by providing a solution to a problem that people have. There are a few reasons why people pay for products and services to solve their problems, including:
- They don't want to solve their problem on their own.
- They can't afford to solve their problem on their own.
- They don't have the time to solve their problem on their own.
As a business owner, you create value by bringing people and resources together to solve the problems people have. This concept is something many business owners overlook until they get to a point where they need to understand why their company isn't producing the results they want. To build a valuable business, you must spend time understanding why your customers use your business. What is the specific problem or problems your business is solving for them? The more detailed your answers are, the more opportunities you will find to create value.Read more: How business owners create value

Interactive art
New exhibit at DuPage Children's Museum lets kids play with art
You won't hear anyone say, "Don't touch the artwork" at the DuPage Children's Museum. In fact, their new exhibit "Animals in Artland: Wild Wings" encourages kids to touch, push, trace and rub all kinds of art.
From the moment we stepped off the elevator on the second floor, my sons were mesmerized by the giant "Ornithopter" which flapped its wings whenever someone triggered its motion sensor. But that was just the beginning.
For a relatively small exhibit, the designers have provided endless opportunities to learn and explore.
The kinetic sculptures gave my boys the chance to pump and crank different handles to make the artwork "fly." Being 4 and 5 years old, they thought making artwork move was the "coolest."
The museum's designers have also wisely provided "Can You Find It?" booklets to help kids explore on different levels, from finding individual colors to matching small portions of artwork. The books encouraged us to move around the exhibit to find its hidden secrets.
Anchoring the space is a giant wooden tree house that kids can climb into. At the top level they find binoculars they can use to spot many beautifully sculpted birds hanging high throughout the room. The "tree" was also filled with birds that sounded calls when squeezed.
My 4-year-old climbed and played happily for twenty minutes just in this space. Meanwhile my older son was fascinated with the light table, where he could combine parts from different animals to create his own creature. Inspired by the picture of a "Rhinomingo" he made his own "Elebear."
In addition to interacting with the works of professional artists, my sons happily made their own art. They loved using the foam, plastic and wooden shapes to make their own birds and designing their own crayon rubbings.
As usual at the DuPage Children's Museum, staff and volunteers were everywhere to help kids make the most of their experience.
DuPage Children's Museum is located at 301 N. Washington St. in Naperville. General admission in $7.50 per person, $6.50 for ages 60 and over. Visit or call _PHONE_ for more information.

Although hidden and out of sight, dryer vents perform a vital role in your home. Dryer vents remove hot exhaust air from your clothes dryer to ensure effective and safe operation. However, through the process of drying your clothes and with repetitive use, dryer vents can become clogged with lint, dust and other debris. Cleaning your dryer vent on a regular basis is critical. Not only does this help maintain the efficient functioning of your dryer, cleaning ensures your entire home remains safe.
Why Cleaning Dryer Vents Is Important
According to the National Fire Prevention Association, 15,450 house fires in 2010 were caused by home dryer machines, and the majority of these (32%) were triggered by dryer vents that hadn't been cleaned. These fires greatly threaten the safety of homes and families as well as cause millions of dollars of damage to property.
Dryer vent fires most often occur due to lint and other debris that builds up in the vents after repeated dryer use. Lint is made up of small fabric fibers and dust particles that are released from clothes when they are washed. Lint is naturally highly flammable, and combined with the heat from a clothes dryer, can quickly kindle a fire. Clothes dryer fires can often cause significant damage to a home before they can be controlled.
Not only can clogged dryer vents lead to fires, they also reduce the efficiency of your dryer, provide the potential for carbon monoxide poisoning, and promote conditions for the spread of mold and allergens. As dryer vents become clogged and the machine has to work harder to remove exhaust, the dryer efficiency drops and your energy consumption climbs. Without being fully removed by the dryer vent, carbon monoxide can leach into your home causing death or long term poisoning. The buildup of lint and dust in the warm moist environment can also lead to mold growth and excess dust mites. Mold and dust mites can make your whole family ill, while potentially triggering severe allergies or asthma in those who are susceptible.
Keep Dryer Vents Clean
Although uncleaned and clogged dryer vents are the leading cause of dryer machine fires, they can be easily prevented with proper dryer vent maintenance and cleaning. One of the simplest things you can do to prevent dryer vent fires is to ensure you remove lint from your dryer filter before and after each load, to eliminate lint buildup. Although this won't reach all the potential lint buildup in your dryer, it can help to reduce the total lint burden in your dryer.
Another essential component of home dryer maintenance is inspecting your outer vent flap to ensure that it is not obstructed by any debris or build up.
Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning
Professional dryer vent cleaning is an essential aspect of your dryer vent maintenance. While checking your dryer vent yourself at home can help to minimize build up and reduce the chances of a fire, professional dryer vent cleaning can reach areas of the vent that you can't reach alone. No matter how good your regular dryer vent cleaning is, you will always require professional dryer vent cleaning from time to time. Authorities recommend having your dryer vent professionally inspected and cleaned at least once a year for greater dryer vent safety and performance.
Dryer vent maintenance is an essential aspect of keeping your home safe and efficient. Maintain and clean your dryer vent regularly at home and book professional dryer vent cleaning services at least once a year to remove long term lint buildup.

Fernald, A.G., P.J. Wigington, Jr., and D.H. Landers. 2001. Transient storage and hyporheic flow along the Willamette River, Oregon: field measurements and model estimates. Water Resources Research 37:_PHONE_. WED-00-016
Transient storage is a measure of the exchange of main channel flow with subsurface hyporheic flow and surface water dead zones. Hyporheic flow, in which river water enters the channel bed and banks to reemerge downstream, promotes biochemical processes that are important for water quality and aquatic habitat. Previous studies have quantified transient storage and hyporheic flow on small streams but were not specifically developed to identify both of these processes over long reaches of large rivers. We studied transient storage on the eighth-order upper Willamette River, which flows through high-porosity gravel deposits conducive to hyporheic flow. We used main channel dye tracer studies and solute transport modeling to estimate transient storage on nine study reaches in a 26-km-long study area. We also took dye measurements within the transient storage zone to identify transient storage flow paths. We obtained estimates of transient storage exchange coefficient, "s (mean equals 1.6 x 10-4 s-1), and transient storage to main channel cross-sectional area, As/A (mean equal to 0.28), that show that significant amounts of water follow flow paths with 0.2-30 hour transient storage zone residence times. Our dye measurements from the transient storage zone itself showed the occurrence of both subsurface and surface flow paths, confirming that hyporheic flow is an important component of estimated transient storage. We found that the two highest As/A estimates were for reaches that spanned the only length of active main channel in our study area that is unconstrained and where the river can rework large gravel deposits. Much of the natural channel complexity that historically promoted hyporheic flow no longer exists on the upper Willamette River. River management targeting the ecological functions provided by hyporheic flow might best focus on restoring historic hydrogeomorphic processes for creating sites conducive to hyporheic flow.

Magical Moments of Lahaina Noon in Hilo
May 25, 2012
Hawaii is the only U.S. state where people can experience Lahaina Noon, the few moments when the Sun is directly overhead, and upright objects such as a flag-pole have no shadow. In the tropics, the Sun only passes overhead twice a year, usually in May and July. An astronomer at Subaru Telescope was fortunate to video the transition from shadows to no shadows during this special time in May.
Video: A demonstration of how shadows of the milepost in the courtyard of Subaru Telescope's base facility shift during Lahaina Noon. When the Sun crosses the meridian point (the highest point), the shadow of the milepost almost disappears. The video was taken between noon and 12:30 pm local time on May 15, 2012, three days before Lahaina Noon. (Credit: NAOJ)
The tropics occupy the region between the Tropic of Cancer (23°26' north of the Equator) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23°26' south of the Equator).
Figure: Palm trees in the courtyard of Subaru Telescope's base facility in Hilo. The trees are very tall, more than two stories high, but their shadows are short because Lahaina Noon is approaching. (Credit: NAOJ)
The Sun reaches its zenith in this area twice a year; in Hawaii this happens about a month before and after the summer solstice when the Sun is at the highest point in the sky around noon. This "overhead noon" is sometimes called "shadowless noon" or "zenith noon", but it became known as "Lahaina Noon" after the name was selected in the early 1990s following a naming contest at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii. The term selected was Lahaina, which derives from "la haina" and means "cruel sun" in the Hawaiian language. Early Hawaiians named the event "kau ka la i ka lolo", which literally means "the sun rests on the brains." (As written here, the Hawaiian words do not have the punctuation that reflects proper pronunciation.)
Because of the alignment of the Hawaiian Islands in east-west and north-south, the timing of Lahaina Noon varies according to the longitude of the place where it occurs. It took place at 12:16 pm on May 18th in Hilo on Hawaii Island (a southeastern island), the earliest Lahaina Noon before the summer solstice, while Kauai Island (a northwestern island) had the latest Lahaina Noon, at 12:23 pm on May 23rd. For the next viewing of these magical moments, keep watch around 12:37 pm on July 15th in Honolulu, and 12:26 pm on July 24th in Hilo.

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel method for the detection of road accidents by analyzing audio streams for road surveillance application. In the last decade, due to the increase in a number of people and transportation vehicles, traffic accidents have become one of a major public issue worldwide. The vast number of injuries and death due to road traffic accident reveals the story of a global crisis of road safety. A total of 52,160 road traffic accidents (RTA), 1130 injuries and 85 fatalities were registered during the year 2000, in the state of Qatar. An increase in the number of transportation vehicles around cities has risen the need for more security and safety in public environments. The most obvious reason for a person's death during accidents is the absence or prolong response time of the first aid facility, which is due to the delay in the information of the accident being reached to the police, hospital or ambulance team. In the last couple of years, several surveillance systems have been proposed based on image and video processing for automatically detecting road accidents and car crashes to ensure a quick response by emergency teams. However, in some situations such as adverse weather conditions or cluttered environments, the visual information is not sufficient enough, whereas analyzing the audio tracks can significantly improve the overall reliability of surveillance systems. In this paper we propose a novel method that automatically identifies hazardous situations such as tire skidding and car crashes in presence of background noises, by analyzing the audio streams. Previous studies show that methods for the detection, estimation, and classification of nonstationary signals can be enhanced by utilizing the time-frequency (TF) characteristics of such signals. The TF-based techniques have been proved to outperform classical techniques based on either time or frequency domains, in analyzing real-life nonstationary signals. Time-frequency distributions (TFDs) give additional information about signals that cannot be extracted from either the time domain or frequency domain representations, i.e. the instantaneous frequency of the components of a signal. In order to utilize this extra information provided by TF domain representation, the proposed approach extracts TF image features from quadratic time-frequency distributions (QTFDs), for the detection of audio anomalies. The extended modified-B distribution (EMBD) is utilized to transform a 1-dimensional audio signal into 2-dimensional TF representation which is interpreted as an image. The image descriptors based features are then extracted from the TF representation to classify visually the audio signals into background or abnormal activity patterns in the TF domain. The proposed features are based on Haralick's texture features extracted from the TF representation of audio signals considered and processed as a textured image. These features are used to characterize and hence classify audio signals into M classes. This research study demonstrates that a TF image pattern recognition approach offers significant advantages over standard signal classification methods that utilize either t-domain only or f-domain only features. The proposed method has been experimentally validated on a large open source database of sounds, including several kinds of background noise. The events to be recognized are superimposed on different background sounds of roads and traffic jam. The obtained results are compared with a recent study, utilizing the same large and complex data set of audio signals, and the same experimental setup. The overall classification results confirm the superior performance of the proposed approach with accuracy improvement up to 6%.

The fragmentation of the South African magazine market : the spawning of niches
Thesis (MPhil (Journalism))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.
During the first five to six years of the twenty-first century, the South African magazine industry fragmented at a rapid rate and consumers had an ever-expanding choice of titles. The spawning of niche markets as a result of this fragmentation was bolstered by a period of sustained growth in the South African economy, buoyed by conditions in global economic markets. The research assignment focuses on the fragmentation of the South African magazine market and the subsequent spawning of niche markets. The decline in the market that followed the period of sustained growth is also taken into account. Qualitative research methodology was used to investigate the research question. The broad theoretical frameworks applied are postmodernism, the fragmentation that occurs as a result of postmodernism, and specifically the political economy of the media. The short-term and long-term challenges for magazines are discussed. These include increased competition, greater consolidation, decreasing adspend, diminishing marketshare, and the arrival of broadband in South Africa. Within the context of greater fragmentation and increased competition, it is found that the increase in the number of magazine titles starts to slow, and eventually show negative growth. This is a result of the global and local economic climate, as well as elements within the political economy of the media, namely consolidation and concentration of ownership within the local industry.

Earthquakes in the Central Virginia Seismic Zone
Central Virginia Experiences an Earthquake Every Year or Two
Modified after a summary by the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program
Virginia seismic zones
Virginia seismic zones: Two distinct seismic zones are located in Virginia: The Central Virginia Seismic Zone and the Giles County Seismic Zone. Both of these zones produce recurrent small earthquakes at least every few years. Map by USGS. Click to enlarge.
Background
Since at least 1774, people in central Virginia have felt small earthquakes and suffered damage from infrequent larger ones. The largest damaging earthquake (magnitude 5.9 with a Modified Mercalli Intensity of VII) occurred on August 23, 2011. The second largest damaging earthquake (magnitude 4.8) in the seismic zone occurred in 1875. Smaller earthquakes that cause little or no damage are felt each year or two.
Huge "Felt Areas" of Eastern Earthquakes
Earthquakes in the central and eastern U.S., although less frequent than in the western U.S., are typically felt over a much broader region. East of the Rockies, an earthquake can be felt over an area as much as ten times larger than a similar magnitude earthquake on the west coast. A magnitude 4.0 eastern U.S. earthquake typically can be felt at many places as far as 100 km (60 mi) from where it occurred, and it infrequently causes damage near its source. A magnitude 5.5 eastern U.S. earthquake usually can be felt as far as 500 km (300 mi) from where it occurred, and sometimes causes damage as far away as 40 km (25 mi).
US earthquake map
US earthquake map: Although occasional earthquakes occur in the Central Virginia Seismic Zone and the Giles County Seismic Zone, the earthquake hazard in these areas is much lower than in other parts of the United States. Map by USGS. Click to enlarge.
"Felt Area" of the August 23, 2011 Earthquake
A compilation of news reports from various sources indicates that the August 23, 2011 earthquake was felt in at least 22 states (New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Indiana, Georgia, Florida) plus The District of Colombia.
Virginia Bedrock History
Earthquakes everywhere occur on faults within bedrock, usually miles deep. Most bedrock beneath central Virginia was assembled as continents collided to form a supercontinent about 500-300 million years ago, raising the Appalachian Mountains. Most of the rest of the bedrock formed when the supercontinent rifted apart about 200 million years ago to form what are now the northeastern U.S., the Atlantic Ocean, and Europe.
Virginia Earthquakes Occur on Subsurface Faults
At well-studied plate boundaries like the San Andreas fault system in California, often scientists can determine the name of the specific fault that is responsible for an earthquake. In contrast, east of the Rocky Mountains this is rarely the case. The Central Virginia Seismic Zone is far from the nearest plate boundaries, which are in the center of the Atlantic Ocean and in the Caribbean Sea. The seismic zone is laced with known faults but numerous smaller or deeply buried faults remain undetected. Even the known faults are poorly located at earthquake depths. Accordingly, few, if any, earthquakes in the seismic zone can be linked to named faults. It is difficult to determine if a known fault is still active and could slip and cause an earthquake. As in most other areas east of the Rockies, the best guide to earthquake hazards in the seismic zone is the earthquakes themselves.

How it is preserved
ASI started using fuller's earth with a mixture of aluminium silicate and magnesium trisilicate to remove tarry/greasy particulate matter in 1984. Today, ASI claims it has stopped using harmful chemicals and only adds glycerol, cellosolve and sodium bicarbonate to the mud pack in summers to ensure that it does not dry out fast.
An alkaline solution of ammonia is used to clean the red sandstone. ASI uses a special biocidal treatment for the sandstone portions that are hidden from sun and gather moss and algae because of humidity. Preservatives are also used to increase the longevity of the stone.
Stones of the inlay work are replaced if they get damaged or broken. Earlier, artisans were chosen through a tender system. The process was discontinued after it drew criticism because the lowest cost did not assure quality work. ASI now hires artisans based on their craftsmanship, but still has no guidelines for hiring them.
Sandstone floors are in a more precarious condition than the marble floors because of their high porosity that locks moisture inside. As a result, the red sandstone floors are chipping at many places. ASI has put barricades near the Mehman Khana to stop visitors from stepping on them.
Wooden stairs have been added to decrease the pressure on marble floors and staircases and avoid wear and tear. The monument was constructed to take the weight of 30-40 people at a time. Today, over 10 million tourists visit it annually and the footfall is wearing out the walkways of its garden and the floors of its terraces.

A Microcentrifuge is one of the most important equipment in a laboratory. This could be hospital laboratory a healthcare clinic or even a research laboratory. It has a vast number of applications and if considering to buy one you need to make sure you get the right type that meets your requirements.
A Microcentrifuge has a lot of features and the cost of microcentrifuge and availability will depend on the features you select. Thus to make sure you select the right set of features for your device there are a few factors mentioned in this article that you should consider.
The speed at which the Microcentrifuge spins is of utmost importance thus this needs to be noted. Since the revolutions per minute of the device will vary in each device you need to have a set range of requirements prior to actually purchasing the device.
- The Microcentrifuge should also have the right set of programmable features to meet your needs. The speed of the Microcentrifuge depends a lot on the type of sample that you wish to analyse. All samples have a set duration and speed that is required to be set of them.
- It is important to note that the g-force and RCF are more important than the speed while selecting a Microcentrifuge.
- It is possible to substitute the duration for the speed. For example if you are unable to set the desired speed on your Microcentrifuge device due to some reason or the other it is possible to lengthen the duration in order to achieve the desired result.
Temperature Sensitive Samples:
Microcentrifuges are of two different kinds; in the sense that one is refrigerated and the other is non-refrigerated. As the name suggests the refrigerated one will keep the sample placed inside very cool throughout the process thus preventing any damage to be caused to the sample.
Some of them offer additional features like last run memory or over speed running, etc. The perfect example of an industry where a refrigerated Microcentrifuge is required is the Medical Industry and especially the pathology department. If you have even been to the pathology laboratory you would have noticed that they all have cold storages used to store the blood necessary for patients. It is necessary to store blood in a cold storage in order for it to be used in blood transfusions. Again, the same thing applies while running tests on a blood sample as well. It is necessary to keep the temperature of the blood low while performing tests on it. Thus the refrigerated Microcentrifuge is perfect for this application.
Tube for Samples:
- The tubes used in the Microcentrifuge to fill the sample are of great importance as well.
- The tubes could be either glass or plastic, besides which the size also varies.
- For example those devices that are used in research labs have tubes that have very small capacity.
- The size really depends on the size allowed by your Microcentrifuge device.
If you do have a large Microcentrifuge you will usually have the option of using larger test tubes. In addition to which if you need to analyses larger samples you will need bigger test tubes for the sample.
- The brush-less motor is popular and is considered almost maintenance free; thus is the one you should consider opting for.
- It is recommended that you use a brush-less motor for just about every minor requirement.
- The brushless motor is the one to use for blood banks, chemical laboratories and just about any industry you can think off.
- As far the bowl is concerned it would be best to opt for a stainless steel bowl ensuring easy clean out.
Some of the Microcentrifuge devices also sport a nice digital display that shows the status, time and speed. This can also be something you might want to consider.
After sales service is also important; maybe not as important as the Microcentrifuge device itself though.
Opting for a used Microcentrifuge:
Often these Microcentrifuge devices get rejected by a laboratory due to some minor defect. These devices that are thus obtained are fixed by trained technicians and refurbished; after which they function more or less as new.
- You do have the option of opting for buying such devices if the budget is a constraint.
- Such devices can also be considered reliable and a good alternative to a new one since usually parts warranty is offered.
- At times you may end up with a very good quality product by paying half the price of a new one if not lesser. One of the popular places to purchase a used Microcentrifuge is ebay.com for example, which is a global website.
The microcentrifuge specification tends to vary from device to device but here is the specifications of a Centrifuge device; which can act as a reference as to what to expect.
- 8 Place closed rotor for 1.5/2.0 ml micro tubes (Rotor capacity)
- 6000/2000g -> Maximum RPM/RCF(g) (Rotor)
- Digital Display
- Noise level of < 55db
- 1 – 25 minutes and infinite mode (Duration settings)
- Dimension (w x d x h) of 162 mm x 157 mm x 115 mm
- Reduction adapters for 0.2 / 0.4 ml micro-tubes (Rotor and Adapter)
Cost of Microcentrifuge:
In order to make you aware of what features to expect in what price range a sample guide has been provided below with three different centrifuges and their price range.
- Price range Rs 7000 to Rs. 9000: For this price range you could expect to be able to purchase a centrifuge with capacity of 4 tubes, each of 15ml with swing out head. The maximum RPM to expect would be in the range of 3100RPM, while the maximum R.C.F would be in the range of 1750g.
- Price range Rs 20,000 to Rs 22000: For this price range it is possible to expect a centrifuge with 12 capillary tubes. The maximum speed would be up to 12000 RPM. The duration settings can range from 0 to 60 minutes.
- Price range Rs 21,000 to Rs 23000: This is a higher price range and you can expect a higher specifications centrifuge for the price. It would be possible for you to obtain a centrifuge with about 24 capillary tubes in this price range. The speed would be approximately up to 12000 RPM and duration 0 to 60 minutes. In addition to which you can expect features like electrical lock and speed regulators.

Abandoned and Exposed Nuclear Material
Russian and American scientists have been working together to ensure that metal scavengers cannot obtain nuclear materials from on old Soviet test site. The site was used for lots of tests, and not every bomb exploded. In theory, someone could use the leftovers to create a sophisticated nuclear weapon. The cleanup has just been completed, at a cost of $150 million dollars, much of which paid for by the United States.

The effects of processing treatments on the microscopic structure, pectic fractions and firmness of ripe olives (Olea europaea L Cassanese variety), processed by the 'Ferrandina' method for oven-dried table olive production, were studied. The process included a first heating step, a salting step and a final oven-drying process. Scanning electron microscopic observations of olive tissue structure revealed that heat treatment was highly damaging, affecting the intercellular pectic substances and producing cell separation. Epicuticular waxes were barely affected and limited the shrivelling of the fruit during the oven dehydration process. The pectin content was higher in the oven-dried olives than in the fresh samples. The sodium hydroxide-soluble fraction was the main pectin fraction in the olive tissues. Its content decreased markedly after the heating step, while it increased after the oven dehydration step. The softening of the olive tissues increased after heat treatment, and a correlation was found between protopectin content and firmness. In oven-dried olives a firming of the olive tissues was observed due to the de-esterification of pectin and to its decreased solubility resulting from an increase in cell wall calcium bridging.
