Language: Opón-Carare was a Cariban language once spoken in Colombia. It may have been most closely related to the Yukpa language. The Opón and Carare people lived in two distinct tribes (which were often at war with each other), and it is not clear whether they spoke dialects of a single language or two separate but related languages. Neither variety has been spoken since the mid-1900's, and few records of them remain.

Question: What Is Veal Parmesan Made Of?
What cut of meat is veal parmesan?
Veal is known for its tender texture and delicate flavor, and can be purchased in many of the same beef cuts you're probably already familiar with–roasts, chops, ribs, ground and cutlets. For Veal Parmesan, we'll be using veal cutlets or veal scallopini.
What is a veal cutlet?
Veal cutlets are thin, boneless portions of meat taken from the leg of the animal. Treat veal cutlets how you would any other thin, breaded cutlet (like chicken breast or pork). Season well and use a three-step breading process (flour, egg, then breadcrumbs).
Why is it called veal parmesan?
Firstly the dish is Chicken, Veal, etc Parmigiano, not parmesan. It simply means that the dish originated in the region in and around Parma, Italy. It does not have anything to do with the type of cheese.

What animal is veal?
Veal is the meat from calves, mostly pure-bred male dairy calves. In many countries, including the UK, veal production is closely linked to the dairy industry; male dairy calves cannot produce milk and are often considered unsuitable for beef production.
How are calves killed for veal?
Calves raised to make veal are severely confined. Veal calves live the entirety of their short lives in " veal crates," wooden crates that severely restrict the calves ' movement. These crates are typically only 2.5 feet wide at most and have slatted wooden floors.

What is veal? It is the meat of a baby cow, a calf that has been starved to death so that the meat is pale pink, almost white. The veal calf industry is among the worst of all the kinds of intensive animal agriculture.
What is the most tender cut of veal?
The Veal Tenderloin is one of the most tender cuts on the animal. It is lean and therefore needs to be cooked quickly at a high temperature to maintain moisture. Whole tenderloins can be roasted or grilled and barbequed. Veal Tenderloin portions are cut from a Denuded Tenderloin.
Does veal taste different than beef?
But how does the meat taste different? Well, veal is slightly more tender than beef, due to the muscles not being worked for as long as the muscles of beef and it has a much more delicate flavour.

A 3D printer is one of the most helpful tools you can have in your arsenal, and most makers use theirs often. If you're like many of us, you probably keep your 3D printer inside your home — maybe even right next to you on the desk. But 3D printers can potentially be hazardous, and we're not just talking about the risk of a fire. Your 3D printer could also be emitting toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as formaldehyde, while it's running. To detect those VOC emissions, Gary Peng has designed this monitor that you can build yourself.
The purpose of the 3D Printer Emission Monitor is straightforward: to indicate if VOC concentrations are at hazardous levels. All you have to do is mount it near your 3D printer, and you'll be alerted if those VOC levels exceed a set threshold. By using a smartphone app, you can keep track of those levels over time, receive notifications if an alert is sounded, and see exactly what the monitor is detecting at any given time. Best of all, this is made using readily-available and affordable components, so there is no reason not to make the device if you're concerned about toxic emissions coming from your 3D printer.
The primary components needed to make the 3D Printer Emission Monitor are a Particle Photon board, an Adafruit NeoPixel Ring, an Adafruit CCS811 Air Quality Sensor Breakout board, and a piezo buzzer. Other than that, you'll only need a perfboard, hookup wires, and access to a 3D printer — which you presumably have. Assembly is straightforward, and only requires a bit of easy soldering. After that, you can install the provided code and 3D-print the case. Once the device is built, the LED ring will change color and the piezo buzzer will sound an alarm if VOC levels are too high.

Title
Extraction and Quantification of Cardiac Glycosides from Asclepias viridis Leaves

Degree Name
Master of Science (MS)

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to determine how to efficiently extract cardiac glycosides from the leaves of Asclepias viridis plants, and to analyze the concentrations of these compounds. Asclepias viridis, also known as the green-flowered milkweed plant, is native to northeast Texas and is broadly distributed from south Texas north to southeast Nebraska, east to Virginia, and south to Florida. It serves as a host plant for the larva of Danaus plexippus, also known as the monarch butterfly. The larvae spend their lives and feed on the plant and, in doing so, sequester cardiac glycosides consumed from the plant. Cardiac glycosides are a class of compounds that include cardenolides, which are found in milkweed plants as well as other groups of plants, such as foxglove and oleander. These cardenolides are a defense mechanism for the milkweed plant, as well as for the monarch larva. Cardenolides are toxic when consumed in high doses because they interfere with ATPase, a protein that regulates the flux of sodium and potassium across the cell membranes of animals. For this study, dried leaf material was ground to a fine powder and cardenolides were extracted in an ethanol solution. The crude extract was used to determine cardenolide concentration using a spectrophotometer. This technique used tetranitrobiphenyl as a colorimetric reagent that complexes with cardenolides to produce a colored compound, which was measured at 575nm using Beer' s Law to calculate concentration. It has been shown in this research that female monarchs are being selective on the plants they lay eggs on some years, but not in other years. There was no evidence of cardenolide induction through the two years studied. Finally, there was no evidence found that higher cardenolide concentration leads to mortality in larvae.

Mikrasiaton Square
The Mikrasiaton Square is located in the Old Town of Rethymno and it is the biggest square in the heart of the historical center since 2007.
Its name comes from the settlement of the inhabitants of Minor Asia (Mikrasiates=people from Minor Asia) who arrived to Rethymno after the population exchange set by the Lausanne Convention and were accommodated in that square.
Being the meeting point of the youngsters and the families of Rethymno, mostly during summer, due to its spaciousness and a playground for the young children' amusement, the Mikrasiaton Square has also room for bikes, skates and trampoline.
The monuments that frame the Mikrasiaton Square are jewels for the city of Rethymno, since they are the most important buildings remaining from the Venetian and Ottoman period, such as the House of Culture, the Neratze Mosque, the church of Agios Fragkiskos and the Historical and Folklore Rethymno Museum.
There is monument in the Mikrasiaton Square representing the Minor Asia disaster that was placed there after the efforts of the Association of Minor Asia and the Association of Minor Asia "Ionia" Rethymnon. The monument, five meters in length and four meters in height, had been placed on the east side of the square. The Minor Asia Hellenism had imparted to the local population of Rethymno many types of handmade professional art and creation and actively and effectively contributed in revitalizing the local economy.

Common Security Clubs
by Chris Sturr | March 25, 2009
An exciting new project spearheaded by Chuck Collins, D&S Associate, and of the Institute for Policy Studies.
'Common Security Club' as an Organizing Form for the Solidarity Economy
By Chuck Collins
"What becomes clear to participants is we are facing some major economic and ecological changes," said Andree Zaleska from the Boston office of Institute for Policy Studies, who is coordinating clubs in the Northeast. "We are not going back to some golden age of economic growth based on empire, unfettered capitalism, and cheap energy—nor do we want to! We have to prepare ourselves and our communities for transformation."
As theologian Walter Brueggemann writes we need to shift from "autonomy to covenantal existence, from anxiety to divine abundance, and from acquisitive greed to neighborly generosity." Common security club participants are experimenting with ways to make the practical, political, and spiritual changes this entails.
The three main functions of the clubs are:
1) Learn and reflect
Through popular education tools, videos, Bible study, and shared readings, participants increase their understanding of the larger economic forces on our lives. Why is the economy in distress? How did these changes happen? What are the historical factors? How does this connect to the global economy? What are the ecological factors contributing to the changes? What is our vision for a healthy, sustainable economy? What are the sources of real security in my life?
2) Mutual aid and local action
Through stories, examples, Web-based resources, a workbook, and mutual support, participants reflect on what makes them secure. What can we do together to increase our economic security at the local level? What would it mean to respond to my economic challenges in community? How can I reduce my economic vulnerability in conjunction with others? How can I get out of debt? How can I help my neighbor facing foreclosure or economic insecurity? Can I downscale and reduce my consumption and ecological footprint and save money?
3) Social action
The economic crisis is in part the result of an unengaged citizenry and government. What can we do together to build an economy based on building healthy communities rather than shoring up the casino economy? What public policies would make our communities more secure? Through discussion and education, participants might find ways to engage in a larger program of change around the financial system, economic development, tax policy, and other elements of our shared economic life.
Clubs can be autonomous or affiliated with an existing institution, secular or religious. The ideal size is 10 to 20 adults who make a commitment to an initial five meetings with a facilitator. Clubs then decide whether to continue meeting and self-manage. Starter sessions have been developed and include "The Roots of the Economic Crisis," "Personal Re sponses to Economic and Ecological Change," "Things We Can Do Together," and "Actions to Transform the Economy."
Among the things "we can do together," the clubs examine stories and examples of various economic and mutual aid activities. These have included teaming up to help each other weatherize their homes, helping each other rework their personal budgets and reduce debt, and forming food-buying clubs. Faith-based groups weave together reflection, prayer, and action.
"We can't be a bank for each other," said club participant Paul Monroe of Boston. "But there are so many things we can do to support one another and increase our economic security."
One group, convened by a group of Haitian women in the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester, decided to push back against their credit card companies. "Everyone was paying really high fees," observed Charlotte Desire, who coordinated the group. "One of our best moments was when everyone in our group called their credit card company and threatened to cut up their cards unless fees were waived and interest rates were cut." Almost everyone in the group was able to save hundreds of dollars in interest payments and fees.
Gerald Taylor, a veteran congregation-based organizer in Charlotte, North Carolina, has led discussions with several groups about what a healthy and democratic debt system would require. "All our religious traditions have prohibitions on usury for a reason," said Taylor. "So what would a fair and transparent credit system look like?"
"We are piloting about a dozen common security clubs in different places and with very different groups," said Zaleska, describing the efforts in her region. "We're testing out several different curricula. Some clubs are pressing members of Congress to reform the casino economy, stop foreclosures, and pass an economic stimulus package."
Whatever shape or focus members choose to take, common security clubs are pushing against the social isolation that may accompany a recession or depression. "I see the hurt and anxiety in my congregation—and how people privatize their pain," says Cecilia Kingman. "This is a chance for us to be real with each other."
These clubs are also one of many building blocks that can move us toward a "solidarity economy" that affirms our true interconnection with one another. Coming together is a way to remind ourselves of the abundance we have, the wealth of our relationships and networks, and the mutuality of our economic security.
Chuck Collins is an On the Commons Fellow and senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies, where he directs the Program on Inequality and the Common Good. He is co-author with Mary Wright of The Moral Measure of the Economy (Orbis, 2007).

 1. so you are saying that our economical and politcal dilemnas are due to not following Jesus?Isn't this a bit simplistic?It is about a 2 term "presidential" fiasco that was not led by Bush Jr but a diabolical pseudo-Nazi name Cheney who not only sold inferior goods to our troops once the war in Iraq started (deja vu of WW II) via Halliburton but was permitted and he got rich by allowing more and more illegal dealings in the highest echelons of the nation-in the Capitol!! And all they could get Bill for was his bad choice of girlfriends. Why don't you figure it out? God has nothing to do with corrupt politicians and they are going to do the same thing with Obama unfortunately. If God had anything to do with it, Cheney and his cronies would be struck dead. We are in Gommora and it will take another civil war to change. Poor Mr Obama is a pawn in the inherent evil and greed that is becoming worse and worse. We as a people, black white and every color in between, need to come together and fight the adversaries who are now the kings of big business or we will all be lost. Blood must be shed
 2. Anonymous,I think you need to re-read Chuck's account of the Common Security Clubs. Nowhere does it say that "our current economical and political dilemmas are due to not following Jesus."If you joined a Common Security Club, though, you could share your ideas with your neighbors.–CS

GENERAL INFORMATION: _PHONE_
1120 SW Fifth Ave, Suite 600, Portland, OR 97204
The water distribution system is the essential link between the water supply source and you. It is not just the main that runs down your street, quite the contrary. It is an elaborate conveyance system that allows water to be moved through miles of piping before reaching your tap. Pumps allow water to move through the system; valves allow water pressure and flow direction to be regulated along the way.
Our crews are responsible for the maintenance of water mains, water services, fire hydrants, water valves and backflow devices located within the City's service area. In short, they ensure that good, clean water is delivered to your tap.
When you see them working on your street, feel free to say hello and take a peek at what they are doing!
What's the average rainfall in up in the Bull Run watershed in February? We asked Doug Bloem, who tracks this and a lot of other information up in the watershed. Here's what he had to say:
It depends on where in Bull Run you measure the precipitation.
At Headworks (750' elevation) we have records going back to 1899. Average February precipitation for _PHONE_ is 8.4". In February 2011, we had 8.8", about 30% (2.6") of which fell on the last day of the month (yesterday).
At the South Fork SNOTEL* site (2690' elevation), average February precipitation is 11.4" for the period 1998 - 2010. I can't give you a total for February 2011 because they've had some electronic glitches the last few days, so we don't have a full month's total. They measured 14.3" total through the 25th, but the other two SNOTEL sites had over 4" the last three days of February, so the South Fork total for February is probably something like 18"-19".
At the North Fork SNOTEL (3060' elevation), average February precipitation is 15.3" for the period 1980 - 2011. We had 16.9" in February 2011.
At the Blazed Alder SNOTEL (3650' elevation), average February precipitation is 13.4" for the period 1981 - 2011. We had 15.0" in February 2011.
You may have noticed that North Fork has a higher average than Blazed Alder, even though Blazed Alder is higher elevation. North Fork is typically the wettest precipitation measuring site in Bull Run because of its proximity to the Gorge, where the storms come in at essentially sea level and then are forced up to elevations well over 3000'. By the time the clouds get to Blazed Alder, they've already had some of the moisture wrung out of them.
SNOTEL: The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of the United States Department of Agriculture operates snow telemetry (SNOTEL) stations at three places in the Bull Run watershed to help predict how much water will be available from melting snow. Snow depths and density vary with time and location.

The Portland Water Bureau and Portland Parks & Recreation will hold an open house for the public to view exterior design and landscaping plans for the Water Bureau's new drinking water pump station to be built in Willamette Park in Southwest Portland.
The event will be held on Saturday, March 19th, from 10 am to 2 pm at the Portland French School, 6318 SW Corbett Avenue, in Southwest Portland. The public is invited to drop-in anytime during these hours.
In 2009, staff from Portland Parks & Recreation and the Water Bureau sought the opinions of area neighborhood associations, businesses, park users and the public about siting options for rebuilding the city's 99-year old Fulton Pump Station, located in a residential area on SW Nevada Street, between Macadam Avenue and Virginia Avenue. Participants supported siting the new facility in nearby Willamette Park.
In January, a Project Advisory Committee (PAC) was established to ensure the building will complement the park. PAC members met with project architects and City staff to discuss the exterior of the facility and choose design elements. The building will also house a new larger public restroom and park equipment storage area.
For more information: contact Tim Hall, Water Bureau Public Outreach, at _PHONE_ or _EMAIL_.
When the water from your faucet is brown this indicates a disturbance in the water main. Since Portland is an unfiltered water system, there is a fine layer of sediment on the bottom of the water mains that can be stirred up. Hydraulic disturbances caused by hydrant use, valve turning, main breaks or adjacent construction can stir up these sediments and cause the water to be brown. Usually the water will clear on its own within a few hours.
If your water is brown:
This rare three-bowl bubbler is named after Nellie Robinson, the benefactor who, like Simon Benson, left her gift to the people of Portland so they might always have a sip of clean, safe drinking water.
This is the ONLY three-bowl bubbler in Portland. Can you guess where it is located?

We present the first measurements of the specific resistance change, AΔR, with increasing Co layer thickness, tCo of current-perpendicular (CPP) exchange-biased spin-valves (EBSVs) of Co and Cu. AΔR grows about as predicted for a long spin-diffusion length in Co until about tCo = 20 nm, after which it grows more slowly than predicted. Possible reasons for this deviation from prediction are considered, including a short spin-diffusion length in Co.
- Giant magnetoresistance
- Magnetic multilayers


/or matt) is recommended to avoid reflection from the display itself.
12. How can I conceal unwanted items around the screen (for instance the TV brand, etc.)?
Either by putting a passe-partout behind the MIRONA® glass, for example cardboard or foil (the most simple and flexible solution).
or by printing/painting the glass to reduce the screen surface.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the color of the masking or print/paint matches the color of the screen when it is switched off!
13. How can I avoid seeing a difference between the color of the passe-partout and the screen when the screen is turned off?
By optimally matching passe-partout color and the display color when the screen is switched off, and by leaving as little space as possible between MIRONA® and the screen.
14. How can we retain the functions of the remote control on the screen if the IR sensor is concealed?
By using a material (interlayer or print /paint) which is transparent to infrared signals. Alternatively, leave a small opening in the print and position it in front of the IR sensor.
15. Which SCHOTT MIRONA® types can be laminated?
In principle, all types of MIRONA® can be laminated. We can provide you with more information on the test reports from the German testing institute Friedmann and Kirchner on the lamination of MIRONA®. Using PVB or EVA film as an interlayer fulfils EN 12543-2 requirements. Laminating MIRONA® makes sense when, for example, a MIRONA® Beamsplitter with VSG properties is to be produced by combining MIRONA® High Reflective One Side Coated (Level 1) and AR One Side Coated (AR at Level 4).
16. Is it possible to print on a coated surface?
Yes, it is. The color shade may be slightly affected by the coating.
17. What kind of material is recommended for the passe-partout?
Cardboard, foil, organic and ceramic printing is recommended.
18. What kind of printing can be applied to SCHOTT MIRONA®?
Ceramic and organic printing can be used with MIRONA®. The technology for applying the ink (screen printing, digital printing, painting) doesn't really matter.
19. Which SCHOTT MIRONA® types can be thermally toughened?
All types of MIRONA® can be thermally toughened. Compared to MIRONA® Standard, MIRONA® High Reflective has a more complex layer structure, which means that only tempering furnaces with multi-zone temperature control and temperature monitoring are suitable for toughening. During thermal toughening, the reflective color may change slightly, which cannot be avoided due to the process.
20. Can SCHOTT MIRONA® be used outdoors?
MIRONA® is suitable for outdoor use. All types of MIRONA® have been tested at the Institut für Fenstertechnik (ift) in Rosenheim, Germany according to ISO 1096-2 and is classified as class A. DIN EN 1096-2 describes the testing and durability of coated glass in the construction industry.

Possible Themes – Workshop on Demand or Location and Dates to be Announced
The 3rd Life Age – Gifts and Challenges
Exploring Biographical, Social, and Spiritual Implications of Growing Older
Quite often the aging of our population is seen as a burden. But what are the gifts?
What is the meaning of reaching an average of 84 years in first world countries?
Over the last ten years I have been with friends in re-tirement age. I also accompanied my parents, who had their 60th wedding anniversary in February 2015, on their journey of letting go of our family house and mov-ing into a unit, which allows for autonomous living and different levels of care if necessary.
In her book "Freedom in the Third Life Age" the anthro-posophical medical doctor Gudrun Burkhart quotes Pe-ter Laslett, who developed the term Third Age. He states: "The leisure of the 'third age' is in no way aris-tocratic or elitist. It belongs to every individual, … To be free of compulsory labour, and the direction of other people; to live at ease while doing what you choose to do; to develop yourself; to realize yourself, …" Instead of using the term Old Age he diversifies: "After a 'first age' of youth, dependency, education and maturation, a 'second age' of maturity, earning and responsibility, there now arrives a 'third age' of personal achievement and fulfilment – the crown of individual life, … [followed] by a 'fourth age' of dependency and decrepitude."
The workshop gives the opportunity to use the partici-pant's life stories and life experience to explore the in-terconnections of the life phase from 43 to 63 with the phase from 64 to 84. Biographical mirroring techniques and creative methods will be applied to envisage the emerging future in our own biography. At the same time, we will be exploring interconnections between earlier and later life phases and the meaning of longevi-ty. In general Life Story Workshops aim to connect the workshop theme with examples from our life. Please be prepared to share parts of your life story in a small group of 3 to 5 people. Please bring CVs you have written; they are helpful as a database for you to use during the Workshop.

Paper short abstract:
Drawing on extensive fieldwork research in refugee camps in Greece, this paper will examine how objects and possessions are used, circulated and (re-)appropriated by refugees to survive, create a sense of normalcy, and enact and affirm cultural identities.
Paper long abstract:
Refugee camps - the epitome of a state of exception - are conventionally conceived as transitory infrastructures, where refugees live in a state of lasting temporariness and waithood. Within this framework of temporariness, this paper will examine how objects and possessions are used, circulated and (re-)appropriated by refugees to survive, create a sense of normalcy, and enact and affirm cultural identities. Building on extensive fieldwork research in almost all long-term accommodation centers in mainland Greece, the authors will discuss refugees' agency observed in material interventions (expressions of national and ethnic affiliation, constructing shelter extensions and irregular shops, etc.), informal economies based on materials (buying and selling of containers, appropriation and sale of camp infrastructure, etc.), as well as (re-)use of materials (blankets, fire hoses, oil canisters, etc.). Moving beyond a static depiction of materials, the research will highlight the potency of materials in regenerating personal and collective agency in adversity.

Women continue to be in the minority in school administration in public schools in the United States, although the majority of teachers are female. The role of assistant principal is the gateway to school administration. The purpose of this study was to describe the essence of the transition from teaching to school administration, the role of a female assistant principal, and the career aspirations of female assistant principals. This study used a phenomenological approach to understand the essence of the transition for the participants. Six women were interviewed using a semi-structured interview protocol to collect data on their experiences transitioning to the role of assistant principal. Using the process of horizonalization, the data were transcribed and analyzed using statements and quotes from the interviews to develop themes common to all participants. Findings revealed that these women continually seek to better themselves, others, and their organizations. They experienced a significant sense of loss as they transitioned to their new role. Lastly, the supports needed by women as they continue in their career as school administrators were uncovered.

Architecture & Environment Lecture: Peder Anker
Associate Professor, Gallatin School of Individualized Study
The Environmental Studies Program, New York University
"Spaceship Earth: A History of Ecological Designs"
January 20, 2011 | 5:00pm | Buchanan 1930
Why did scientists and lay people alike in the 1970s talk about the Earth in terms of a Spaceship? And in what way did this frame the environmental design debate? With a point of departure in the famous earthrise image, this lecture reviews the history of "spaceship earth". The Earth was literally understood as being construed as the spaceship and the environmental havoc was caused by humans not behaving like astronauts. Environmental design and ethics became an issue of trying to live like astronauts by adapting space technologies such as bio-toilets, solar cells, recycling, and energy-saving devices. Spaceships came to represent the rational, orderly, and wisely managed contrast to the irrational, disorderly, and ill managed environments on Earth.
This lecture is organized by the Architecture and Environment Emphasis of the Department of the History of Art and Architecture as part of the lecture series 'Moralities in Art and Architecture'. It is co-sponsored by the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management, the Institute for Energy Efﬁciency, the Interdisiplinary Humanities Center, all UCSB, and Livingreen, Santa Barbara.

Longbenton, Northumberland, England
Died 29 June 1860
Brighton, East Sussex, England

Lanercost Priory
Occupation Physician
Known for Addison's Disease, Pernicious anemia
Parents Sarah and Joseph Addison
Thomas Addison (April 1793 – 29 June 1860) was a renowned 19th-century English physician and scientist. He is traditionally regarded as one of the "great men" of Guy's Hospital in London.
Among other pathologies he discovered Addison's disease (a degenerative disease of the adrenal glands) and Addisonian anemia (pernicious anemia), a hematological disorder later found to be caused by failure to absorb vitamin B12.
The early years[edit]
Thomas Addison was born in April 1793, but his exact birthdate is not known. He was born in Longbenton, near Newcastle upon Tyne, the son of Sarah and Joseph Addison, a grocer and flour dealer in Long Benton. He attended the local Thomas rutter school and then went to the Royal Free Grammar School in Newcastle upon Tyne. He learned Latin so well that he made notes in Latin and spoke it fluently.
Addison's father wanted him to become a lawyer, but he entered the University of Edinburgh Medical School in 1812 as a medical student. In 1815 he received the degree of Doctor of Medicine. His thesis was on Dissertatio medica inauguralis quaedam de syphilide et hydrargyro complectens (Concerning Syphilis and Mercury).
Addison moved from Edinburgh to London the same year and became a house surgeon (a surgical resident) at the Lock Hospital. Addison was also a pupil of Thomas Bateman at the public dispensary. He began a practice in medicine while he was physician at an open ward reception on Carey Street.
Thanks to his teachers, Addison became fascinated by diseases of the skin (dermatology). This fascination, which lasted the rest of his life, led him to be the first to describe the changes in skin pigmentation typical of what is now called Addison's disease.
Guy's Hospital[edit]
Thomas Addison
Addison's memorable career as a physician and scientist is usually dated to 1817 when he enrolled as a physician pupil at Guy's Hospital. Guy's Medical School recorded his entrance as follows: "Dec. 13, 1817, from Edinburgh, T. Addison, M.D., paid pounds 22-1s to be a perpetual Physician's pupil." Addison obtained his licentiateship in the Royal College of Physicians in 1819 and some years later was elected a fellow of the Royal College.
Addison was promoted to assistant physician on 14 January 1824 and in 1827 he was appointed lecturer of materia medica. In 1835 Addison was joint lecturer with Richard Bright on practical medicine, and in 1837 he became a full physician at Guy's Hospital. When Bright retired from the lectureship in 1840 Addison became sole lecturer. He held this position until about 1854–55. At that time, when medical students paid fees for separate courses of lectures, they searched throughout the city for the most attractive teachers. Addison was a brilliant lecturer. He attracted a large number of medical students to his lectures.
Thomas Addison was a superb diagnostician but rather a shy and taciturn man and had a small practice, at a time when physicians of his position usually had large practices. He was one of the most respected physicians at the Guy's Hospital, where he exerted a great deal of influence, devoting himself almost wholly to his students and patients. He was described as the type of doctor who is always trying to discover the change in a piece of machinery rather than one who, like his contemporary Benjamin Guy Babington, regarded his patients as suffering, sensitive human beings.[citation needed]
Thomas Addison suffered from many episodes of marked depression. It would seem certain that depression contributed to his retirement in 1860. He wrote then to his medical students as follows: "A considerable breakdown in my health has scared me from the anxieties, responsibilities and excitement of my profession; whether temporarily or permanently cannot yet be determined but, whatever may be the issue, be assured that nothing was better calculated to soothe me than the kind interest manifested by the pupils of Guy's Hospital during the many trying years devoted to that institution."
Three months later, on 29 June 1860, he committed suicide. The day after his death the Brighton Herald recorded that:
He was buried in the churchyard of Lanercost Priory. The hospital had a bust made of him, named a hall of the new part of the hospital for him, and perpetuated his memory with a marble wall table in the chapel.
Diseases Addison described[edit]
Addison is known today for describing a remarkably wide range of diseases. His name has entered into the annals of medicine and is part of the name of a number of medical disorders, including:
Addison gave one of the first adequate accounts of appendicitis and wrote a valuable study of the actions of poisons. He also made seminal contributions to the recognition and understanding of many other diseases, including;

I'm working on a project where I'm repurposing sensors from a Pop-a-shot machine
Sensors we're using _URL_
The sensors are a 4 pin reflective IR sensor.
The 4 pins are ground, power, transmitting (tx), and receiving (rx). The transmitting is for lighting the led and receiving is for when the sensor receives a signal.
They worked perfectly before we connected them to the Pi
We are able to get the sensor working with the PI and are able to read inputs.
The issue we are having is that instead of being able to sense objects nearly 12 cm away, it is only working when you are waving your hand 2-3 cm from the sensor.
Is there something that can be done to increase the sensitivity? We are pretty sure that we have it connected to the GPIO pins correctly. We have the transmitting connected to power, ground connected to ground, power connected to power and the receiving connected to the gpio pin.
We aren't sure if the sensor isn't sensitive enough, or if the led isn't powerful enough
We've tried the 5v and 3v3 pins for power, Same results.


Subtract two easy formulas does not work. why?
Hello everybody,
i want to subtract two simple COUNT formulas but it doesn't work.
However, if I look at the individual results, then I have a result.
what am I doing wrong?
Hi StevenB,
Could you please try the same using COUNT_TABLE.
COUNT_TABLE(table1.column1) - COUNT_TABLE(table2.column2).
Hope it will solve your problem.
Many Thanks.
Now I have a number as a result.
That's really great.
Unfortunately, the number is completely wrong (-141). :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
What is so difficult for Celonis to subtract 2 numbers?
Hi _USER_
With your query, you are introducing a join between the two tables. After the join was computed, the aggregation functions are applied. So the COUNT on the smaller table actually returns the number of rows after the join with the larger table - which is basically the number of rows of the larger table (not necessarily exactly, because NULL values are not being counted). But in your case, it returns 0 because both COUNT results are the same, because of the mentioned reason.
If you are familiar with SQL: There you would also have the same issue. If you do a Join between both tables and then use the COUNTs in the SELECT statement, you would end up with the same result.
The suggestion of _USER_ is good, as COUNT_TABLE counts the number of rows of a particular table, not taking potential joins into account. However, if you have NULL values in the columns, they are also counted here, in contrast to the COUNT functions, which is probably why you get a result which is not the one you are expecting.
So what you wanna do is, you want to calculate the COUNTs separately first before subtracting, such that no join is introduced. You can do this for example with a PU function using the CONSTANT child table option:
PU_COUNT(CONSTANT(), "Table1"."Column") -
PU_COUNT(CONSTANT(), "Table2"."Column")
If FILTERs should be taken into account, you can warp a FILTER_TO_NULL around the arguments:
If you want, you can also do this for one side only, for the other one you could also leave the COUNT, e.g.:
COUNT("Table1"."Column") -
Can you check if this works for you?

Have you ever been offered a fancy cheese that smelled more like a used gym sock than something edible? Odor artist Sissel Tolaas and researcher Christina Agapakis took this idea and ran with it, with their project Synthetic Aesthetics. The duo used bacteria isolated from human hands, feet, noses, and armpits to generate cheese!
Many cheeses, like beer, wine, and yogurt, are the product of fermentation. Fermentation occurs when microorganisms such as yeast and bacteria convert carbohydrates such as sugar into alcohols, gasses, and acids to generate energy in the absence of oxygen. One common cheese-making type of bacterium, Lactobacillus, breaks down lactose, the primary milk sugar, to lactic acid. This results in lowering the pH of the milk, which as pointed out in a previous post, causes coagulation and solidification into cheese. The work of microorganisms in cheese also results in the creation of many other byproducts that give cheeses their unique smell, texture, and flavor profiles. For example, the bacterium, Propionibacterium freudenreichii, generates carbon dioxide gas in the process of making swiss cheese and causes its characteristic holes. Penicillium roqueforti, which is related to the fungus that helps produce the antibiotic, penicillin, gives blue cheese it's distinct aroma and look.
Microorganisms that use fermentation are found everywhere. Tolaas and Agapakis realized that the human body shared many characteristics with the environments for creating cheese. On a hot day or before a hot date, your armpits may be just as warm and moist as an industrial cheese incubator. Furthermore, cheese-making bacteria like Lactobacillus are common inhabitants in the mammalian gut. With this information, they isolated bacteria from hands, feet, noses, and armpits and added them to whole milk to serve as starter cultures.
|Figure 2. Samples prepped for the smell survey. Participants of the survey were asked to smell the samples and provide a description of the odors they detected.|
Here are the results:
|yeast, ocean salt, sour old cheese, feet|
|sweat, big toe nail, cat feet, sweet, milky, orange juice in the fridge too long, fungus, buttery cheese, soapy, light perfume|
|Feta cheese, Turkish shop, nutty, fruity, fishy|
|cheesy feet, cow, cheese factory, old subway station, toilet cleaner|
|neutral, perfumed, industrial, synthetic, fermentation, car pollution, burning, sharp, chemical|
|neutral, sour, floral, smooth, yogurt|
|yeast, jam, feet, putrid, sour, rotten|
|Armpit-4||Enterococcus faecalis||yogurt, sour, fresh cream, butter, whey|
The cheeses displayed a diverse range of bacterial species and odors. Interestingly while some cheeses smelled like "old subway station" or "cat feet," others exuded the familiar & appetizing flavors of "yogurt," "feta cheese," and "light perfume." Furthermore, some of the bacteria isolated were common to various cheeses. For example, Enterococcus faecalis is a lactic acid bacterium found in raw milk and cheeses, like farmhouse cheddar varieties. Proteus mirabilis is related to Proteus vulgaris, which is responsible for giving surface-ripened cheeses like Limburger and Munster a strong aroma.
While these bacterial cultures may not serve as the basis of a new type of artisan cheese, Agapakis notes:
"These cheeses are scientific as well as artistic objects, challenging us to rethink our relationship with our bacteria and with our biotechnology.... The cross-over between bacteria found on cheese and on human skin offers a tantalizing hint at how our bacterial symbiotes have come to be part of our culinary cultures."
In the face of diminishing resources, we are reminded that untapped reservoirs, which may be literally under our noses, might contain hidden treasures that could change the way we generate and produce food.

What is your bartender's favorite cocktail? A Great question, and one usually asked towards the end of the night. It certainly wouldn't be the Manhattan or old fashioned, those are too common. It can't be the daiquiri, which is so misunderstood, or the mai tai, which is too complicated. The answer, seemingly more than any other drink, is the bitter Negroni.
The better question might be: why isn't the Negroni everybody's favorite drink? It's a dynamic sip, with fruitiness from the Campari, sweetness from the vermouth, and botanicals from the gin. It's bitter, making it both challenging to beginners and endlessly drinkable to fans. Perhaps most impressively, it's darn easy to make. Even the less-discerning dives are likely to have Campari, and the preparation requires neither mixing glass or shaker.
The most surprising thing about the Negroni is how few bartenders know how to make it. Outside the cocktail-wild halls of bigger cities, the drink still seems to be developing a name for itself. Luckily, at three even parts, the recipe can be explained in a single sentence. Consider it a public service. Perhaps one more bartender finds a favorite drink.


text: Background: Training for Australian general practice, or family medicine, can be isolating, with registrars (residents or trainees) moving between rural and urban environments, and between hospital and community clinic posts. Virtual communities of practice (VCoPs), groups of people sharing knowledge about their domain of practice online and face-to-face, may have a role in overcoming the isolation associated with general practice training. Objective: This study explored whether Australian general practice registrars and their supervisors (trainers) would be able to use, and would be interested in using, a VCoP in the form of a private online network for work and training purposes. It also sought to understand the facilitators and barriers to intention to use such a community, and considers whether any of these factors may be modifiable. Methods: A survey was developed assessing computer, Internet, and social media access and usage, confidence, perceived usefulness, and barriers, facilitators, and intentions to use a private online network for training purposes. The survey was sent by email link to all 139 registrars and 224 supervisors in one of Australia's 17 general practice training regions. Complete and usable responses were received from 131 participants (response rate=0.4). Results: Most respondents had access to broadband at home (125/131, 95.4%) and at work (130/131, 99.2%). Registrars were more likely to spend more than 2 hours on the Internet (P=.03), and to use social media sites for nonwork purposes (P=.01). On a 5-point Likert scale, confidence was high (mean 3.93, SD 0.63) and was negatively associated with higher age (P=.04), but not associated with training stage. Social media confidence was lower, with registrars more confident than supervisors for almost all social media activities. On a 5-point Likert scale, overall usefulness was scored positively (n=123, mean 3.63, SD 0.74), and was not significantly associated with age or training level. The main concerns of respondents were worries about privacy (registrar: 61/81, 75.3%; supervisor: 30/50, 60.0%) and insufficient time (registrar: 41/81, 50.6%; supervisor: 36/50, 72.0%). Using a multivariate generalized linear regression model, training stage and perceived usefulness were positively predictive, and concerns about privacy and time were negatively predictive of intention to use a private online network. Conclusions: General practice registrars and supervisors are interested in using a private online network, or VCoP, for work and training purposes. Important considerations are the extent to which concerns such as privacy and usefulness may be overcome by training and support to offset some other concerns, such as time barriers. Participants at an early stage in their training are more receptive to using an online network. More senior registrars and supervisors may benefit from more training and promotion of the online network to improve their receptiveness.

Roaring River State Park, nestled among the hills of southern Barry County near Cassville, draws visitors from across Missouri and neighboring states. Although the 4,093-acre park offers camping and hiking opportunities, its main appeal is trout fishing.
Roaring River Hatchery, which is operated by the Missouri Department of Conservation, produces more than 250,000 rainbow and brown trout each year. Most of those fish end up in the upper 1.7 miles of Roaring River that is within the park boundaries. The stream originates at Roaring River Spring—one of the park's many scenic features. The 20 million gallons of cool water that flow from the spring daily make trout rearing and trout fishing possible at the park.
A Natural Choice The spring—and the cool water that gushes from it—prompted Roland Edward Bruner to construct the first trout hatchery at the site in 1910. Bruner was born in 1860 in Pennsylvania and later moved to Wellsville, Kansas, where he married Hannah McLain in 1883. Among his many careers, he was a miner and progressed from prospector to president of the Anaconda–Arizona Mining Company. His business took him around the country, including the Ozarks. He also traveled to Colorado, where he became interested in rainbow trout, not so much in how to catch them but in how to raise them.
The fish hatchery Bruner built included a small hatchery building on the northwest corner of the spring pool's dam and several raceways.
Bruner started with trout that were shipped by railroad from Colorado to Monett about 25 miles to the north. He put a tank on his pre-1910 model truck to carry the trout from the railroad landing to Roaring River, a trip which included seven miles of extremely poor roads.
Much of the information on Roaring River's early days comes from Roland and Hannah's granddaughter, Betty Bruner Layton, who lived in the park until she was 5 years old. Before the U.S. entered World War I, her father, Roland Bruner Jr., left college at the University of Missouri in 1916 and joined the American Field Service in France to fight the Germans. He was wounded and returned to the U.S. in 1917. He came to Roaring River to heal and to help his father with his hatchery.
Roaring River was self-sufficient in those days. Betty remembers guests picking out trout in the raceway near the hotel for dinner. The restaurant would prepare the trout and serve it with a watercress

Adiabatic Compression of Carnot Cycle
The cylinder is now placed on the insulating stand and the piston is further moved down in such a way that the gas is compressed adiabatically to its initial volume V1 and pressure P1. As the gas is insulated from all sides heat produced raises the temperature of the gas to T1. This change is adiabatic and is represented by DA. Let W4 be the work done on the gas in compressing it adiabatically from a state D (V4, P4) to the initial state A (V1, P1).

Then, W4 = v1v4 – PdV = -R/(γ-1).(T2-T1)
The negative sign indicates that work is done on the working substances.
So, W4 = R/(γ-1).(T1-T2) = Area DAEFD

Filipino Icon: The Black Nazarene
The Black Nazarene is one of the most popular religious icons in the Philippines with some six to eight million devotees attending its feast procession, also called Translacion, every 9 January.
The Black Nazarene, also known as Mahal na Itim na Nazareno or Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno, is a 400-year-old, life-sized, wooden sculpture of Jesus of Nazareth carrying the cross. It is enshrined in Quiapo Church in Manila.
An anonymous Mexican sculptor is said to have made the statue, which originally had fair complexion, in 1606. It was then brought to the Philippines in the 1607 by Recollect friars. The icon survived a fire while on board the galleon, but its white complexion had been charred black, which explains the name 'Black Nazarene.' The icon remained smooth despite the fire, and this has been considered one of the earliest manifestations of its miraculous powers.
Once reaching the Philippines, the sculpture was placed in the Augustinian Recollect church in Intramuros. Around that time, stories of miracles have been heard about the statue. On 9 June 1787, it was finally moved to its permanent residence, St John the Baptist Church, which was later renamed to the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene or Quiapo Church.
The icon has received papal veneration from Pope Innocent X in 1650 as a Sacramental (sacred sign that can receive or transfer grace). Later in 1880, Pope Pius VII gave the icon his Apostolic Blessing, granting those who pray before it plenary indulgence (mercy from punishment of a forgiven sin).
The Black Nazarene's incredible stories of survival from accidents increased devotees' faith on its miraculous powers. Some of these incidents include two fires that destroyed the Quaipo Church, the earthquakes of 1645 and 1863, bombings during the 1945 Liberation of Manila and a shooting incident in the 1990s that supposedly damaged the statue's left cheek. According to devotees, the statue remained perfectly intact despite these accidents.
Stories of miracles through prayer made in the name of the Black Nazarene have also increased devotion for the icon. This is why millions of Filipino Catholics believe touching the statue will cure them of any affliction.
Every year, three processions are held to commemorate the Black Nazarene. But the 9 January Translacion, which means 'the passage,' is the biggest and most popular. During this day, a public veneration of the statue leaving and returning to the Quiapo church occurs. This event lasts hours and has its incredible sight has generated buzz all over the world.
During the Translacion, a replica head attached to the original body is paraded on top of a carroza pulled by rope. The body is encased in stainless steel to protect it from damage. The original head meanwhile is attached to a replica body, made by Filipino sculptor Gener Manlaqui, and remains enshrined in Quiapo Church's high altar.
In the wee hours before the procession, devotees already line up along the designated route around Manila keen to get a glimpse, wipe their personal effects or touch the beloved icon. Many devotees suffer injuries due to heat and fatigue while deaths also sometimes occur. This shows the incredible faith of the Filipino Catholics on their venerated icon — a celebration of devotion that never fails to attract and inspire the global community.
Some devotees abroad also stage their own version of the procession by using a replica of the icon. In America and Australia, Filipino communities bring out their Black Nazarene replica and parade it through the vicinity of their parish during the feast day. A replica of the icon has been canonically enshrined at the Saint Catherine of Siena's Roman Catholic Parish in California in September 2012.
Some of the popular Black Nazarene devotees who have been spotted in the procession include actors Coco Martin, Angeline Quinto, Christopher de Leon, Amy Perez and Giselle Sanchez.

In today's complex and often chaotic environment, physicians are often challenged as they strive to live their professional values. Physicians may struggleto maintain their equanimity in the face of suffering and dying patients, heightened productivity demands, work-related fatigue, and distressed colleagues. As humans, we may also be dealing with struggles outside of work. Physicians are not immune to personal illness, relationship troubles, or distractions related to dependent children or parents.Rather than be surprised that lapses in professionalism occur, we should anticipate that they will occur and prepare to handle them in a way that honors the trust that society places in both individual physicians and the collective profession when they grant us the privilege of self-regulation.
Unfortunately, individually or collectively we do not always live up to this commitment. Highly publicized incidents of physicians as the perpetrators of crimes against society, ranging from financial fraud to sexual assault to even more egregious crimes are rare. When they occur, however, they raise questions about how the medical profession could have let someone with this flawed character enter or remain within the profession (Stewart, 2000). More common are examples of ethical transgressions, such as researchor practice-based conflicts of interest, where physicians have placed their financial or career success ahead of the best interests of their patients (Brownlee, 2008). Even more common are the type of professionalism lapses that don't make headlines, but that pervasively undermine the culture of respect that is essential to the effective functioning of our patient care and educational environments (Leape et al, 2012a; Walrath, Dang, & Nybert, 2013; Wear et al, 2009; Hickson et al, 2007; Samenow et al, 2013; Silverman et al, 2012). These include the daily incivilities that occur in the workplace and are characterized by disrespectful language, dysfunctional relationships, disregard of policies and procedures, and dismissive or destructive responses to clinical disagreement or uncertainty. Figure 11-1 describes these different types of breaches of professionalism.

The iceberg of unprofessional behavior (with examples).
Because unprofessional behavior covers a spectrum of actions that range from lapses to transgressions to crimes, it is difficult to pinpoint the frequency of professionalism lapses. The literature relevant to understanding these lapses can be found not only in articles that specifically address professionalism (Hickson et al, 2007; Teherani et al, 2005; Adams, Emmons, & Romm, 2008; Campbell et al, 2007; Buchanan et al, 2012;...

UAE students film female teacher during class, post videos on Internet
Female students of a government school in Ras Al Khaimah filmed their female teacher during the class and posted the video on the Internet.
The management of the school seized a smartphone and an iPod from the students for filming and posting the videos on Snapchat, Arabic daily Al Khaleej reported on Monday.
The school management conducted a search operation among students and seized devices after a teacher filed a complaint that a couple of students had filmed her during the class and was forwarding the clip to other students.
The campaign led to seizure of a smartphone and an iPod, which contained videos of teachers and students while the class was on.
The teacher filed a police complaint against the students. A police officer visited the school and gave a lecture about internet crimes and the dangers of misusing smartphones.

Perfect one day - digital the next: challenges in preserving digital information
Preserving information is about maintaining its meaning - or essence - over time. It is achieved through maintaining information's usability, context and content. This article compares and contrasts some of the characteristics of information in
paper-based format and information in digital format, particularly the characteristics that affect their preservation. The leading ideas on why digital information is inherently short-lived are discussed along with current best thinking on how digital
information may be preserved and some recent initiatives in Australian libraries in this area.

Boundary friction characterisation of a used cylinder liner subject to fired engine conditions and surface deposition
journal contributionposted on 12.11.2018, 14:51 by Rickie Bewsher, Michael Leighton, Mahdi Mohammadpour, Homer Rahnejat, Gunter Offner, O. Knaus
In cylinder friction contributes as a primary source of parasitic dissipations in IC engines. For future engines to become more efficient, with enhanced fuel economy and increased power output, accurate prediction of new designs is required over the full lifetime of an engine. The work carried out presents use of a local pressure coefficient of boundary shear strength of asperities value, taking into account the localised effects of surface texture, coating and surface deposition. XPS spectra analysis was also carried out to identify the surface depositions as a result of combustion, not previously taken into account during piston ring pack simulation. Friction was shown by simulation to drop by up to 30% between the compression and combustion stroke as a result of using a carriable coefficient of boundary shear strength of asperities. It was found that piston varnish on the liner corresponded to higher values of the pressure coefficient of boundary shear strength of asperities, therefore showing the importance of using real system components run under representative operating conditions or numerical analyses.
The authors of this work wish to show their thanks to the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and to our industrial collaborators AVL List GmbH for the financial and technical contributions they have made to this research.

A Swedish laboratory based at the Karolinska Institutet has been established by the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) in its ambitious efforts to unravel the structures of hundreds of proteins of biomedical importance. The laboratory aims to increase the number of structures produced by the SGC to over 400 in the next two years by contributing at least 50 new protein structures to the project.
Established as a charity, the Structural Genomics Consortium's current mandate is to determine the three dimensional structures of proteins of medical relevance, and place them in the public domain without restriction. The target priority list is chosen based on the interest from the research communities, expertise within the Consortium and scientific impact.
The SGC utilises the vast resource of the Human Genome Project (HGP), which has given medical researchers and scientists the nucleotide sequence of the approximately 30 000 genes in the human body. Genes usually exert their function through the proteins they encode. The SGC has taken on the task of exploring the structure and function of proteins, providing information about their role in health and disease. Since July 1 2004, the SGC has been operating out of the Universities of Oxford and Toronto. During the first year of operation the SGC determined 78 novel structures of proteins with significant biological and disease impact.
"If new therapies and new medicines are to be developed, we need to uncover the exact structure of the relevant human proteins," says Harriet Wallberg-Henriksson, President of Karolinska Institutet. She continues: "It will then be more important to join consortia such as SGC, where several financers get together on joint projects at a national, even international level. In many cases, major projects could not otherwise survive, which is something we'll see when it comes, say, to large epidemiological or biobank projects."
"The SGC is incredibly pleased to have Sweden join the Consortium", says Aled Edwards, the Chief Executive of the SGC, "There is a rich and strong tradition of structural biology in Sweden, and we are excited that the Swedes have joined us in the effort to achieve our charitable aims."
"We are delighted to welcome the new Swedish node to the SGC and look forward to the exciting new scientific and technological advances that this international partnership will bring", says Michael Morgan, chairman of the SGC Board of Directors.
"This is a unique opportunity for Sweden to join a leading international project in the biosciences", says Pär Nordlund, Professor in Biophysics at Karolinska Institutet and local Scientific Coordinator of SGC Stockholm. "SGC is setting the standard for how Structural Biology rapidly can address fundamental biomedical questions."
"We are very happy that Sweden is becoming the third link in this unique collaboration between world leading research environments in Canada and England concerning structure determination of medically important human proteins." Staffan Normark, SSF, Erna Möller, KAW and Karin Markides, VINNOVA mean that this border crossing research effort will have significant positive effects on education, research and innovation in Sweden!

active component fighter aircraft to execute one MRC. Based on government force-sizing documents that count fighter aircraft, squadrons, or wings, an average of 55 squadrons (990 aircraft) is required to field a two-MRC–capable force (rounded up to 1,000 fighter aircraft to simplify the numbers). This Index looks for 1,200 active fighter aircraft to account for the 20 percent reserve necessary when considering availability for deployment and the risk of employing 100 percent of fighters at any one time.
Two-MRC Level: 1,200 fighter aircraft.
Actual 2016 Level: 1,159 fighter aircraft.60
Based on a pure count of combat-coded fighter/attack platforms that have at least IOC, the USAF currently is only slightly below the two-MRC benchmark. However, this figure should be taken with a few caveats. The F-35 will become a highly advanced and capable multirole platform, but the 75 aircraft that have entered the USAF inventory to date are only nearing IOC and do not yet field many of the capabilities that would constitute full-spectrum readiness.
While the 1,159 figure would normally yield a capacity level of "very strong," aircraft require pilots to fly them and maintainers to launch, recover, and fix them. With a fighter pilot shortage of 700 and a maintenance shortfall of 4,000 personnel, the ability of the Air Force to meet the wartime manning requirements for fighter cockpits or sufficient maintenance personnel to continually repair, refuel, and rearm aircraft rapidly to meet wartime sortie requirements has been significantly reduced. Those factors, coupled with the lack of funding for a sufficient supply of spare parts, has reduced the capacity for employment from "very strong" in the 2016 Index to a 2017 Index assessment of "strong."
Capability Score: Marginal
The Air Force's capability score is "marginal," a result of being scored "strong" in "Size of Modernization Program," "marginal" for "Age of Equipment" and "Health of Modernization Programs," but "weak" for "Capability of Equipment." These scores have not changed from the 2016 Index's assessment. However, continued concern with the F-35 program's progress toward effective replacement of legacy aircraft could cause the USAF's capability score to decline in future years.
Readiness Score: Marginal
The Air Force scores "marginal" in readiness in the 2017 Index, the same as it scored in the 2016 Index. This is based primarily on the Air Force's reporting that 50 percent of its combat air forces met full-spectrum readiness requirements in 2016.61 The Air Force should be prepared to respond quickly to an emergent crisis and retain full readiness of its combat airpower, but it has been suffering from degraded readiness since 2003, and implementation of BCA-imposed budget cuts in FY 2013 has only exacerbated the problem. Similar to the other services, the Air Force was able to make up some of its readiness shortfalls under the FY 2015 budget, but given its poor readiness assessment, much more improvement is required.
The Air Force's current deficits in both pilot and maintainer manpower are also very troubling indicators for readiness. They will strain the service in the immediate term and, if not reversed, could lead to broader readiness challenges in the future.
Overall U.S. Air Force Score: Marginal
The Air Force is scored as "marginal" overall. This is an unweighted average of its capacity score of "strong," capability score of "marginal," and readiness score of "marginal." While the overall score remains the same as the previous year's, the accumulating shortage of pilots and maintainers has begun to affect the ability of the Air Force to generate the amount of combat air power that would be needed to meet wartime requirements.

/0596facts_figures.pdf (accessed August 26, 2016). The Air Force uses a variety of categorizations to describe or refer to its inventory of aircraft and units. This can make assessing Air Force capacity a challenge. "TACAIR," or tactical aircraft, units refers to any aviation unit that operates tactical aircraft, normally thought of as fighter or attack aircraft such as the F-15, F-16, A-10, F-22, and F-35. This generic term can include operational and training squadrons in the Active, Reserve, and Air National Guard components. "Combat coded" aircraft and related squadrons specifically refers to aircraft and units assigned a wartime mission. For the purpose of assessing capacity and readiness, this Index refers to combat-coded aircraft and units maintained within the Active component of the U.S. Air Force. See Report No., 112–329, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, Conference Report to Accompany H.R. 1540, U.S. House of Representatives, 112th Cong, 1st Sess., December 12, 2011, p. 25, _URL_ (accessed August 26, 2016). Note that these numbers differ from those reported in the 2015 and 2016 editions of this Index. The numbers reported earlier accounted for all combat-coded squadrons in the total Air Force, meaning those in the Active, Reserve, and Air National Guard components. The revised numbers reported here are only those in the Active component so as to maintain the Index's focus on combat power in the Active components of the Joint Force. ↩

This acronym stands for "Most Penetrating Particle Size" and refers to the size particle that most penetrates a filter during HEPA filter testing under EN 1822 certification standards. Once the MPPS is determined, the filter is then tested against only particles of this size to determine its performance.
MEGAfilt® Plus
A Bosch trade name for a high filtration dustbag.
This is a Bosch dustbag that features three layers for better dust retention. Bosch claims that 99% of all particles remain in the dust bag.
Mercury Vapors
Mercury vapors are released during the drilling and removal of amalgam based dental fillings. There is significant controversy regarding whether or not amalgam fillings pose a health risk but it is generally accepted that mercury vapors released during their removal may be harmful and that patients and staff should be protected from inhalation of such vapors.
A term relating to microorganisms and their life processes. In the air and water purification industries, this term is generally used to refer to harmful microorganisms.
This is a general term that indicates that a vacuum cleaner, bag or filter offers higher levels of filtration than normal. However, unless levels of filtration efficiency and particle size are specified, this term by itself is meaningless. See "Filtration Efficiency".
Microflo Dustbags
A trade name for dustbags for Numatic vacuum cleaners.
Micro-Hygiene Filter
A SEBO trade name for their HEPA filter.
Micrometer (µm)
A micrometer is a unit of measure that is one-millionth of a meter. Another way of expressing this is that a micrometer is one-thousandth of a millimeter or one 25/1,000th of an inch. A human hair may be between 50 and 100 micrometers in diameter. In the vacuum cleaning and air purification industry this term is generally used to describe particle sizes of contaminants found on surfaces and in the air. A micrometer is synonymous with the now obsolete term, micron.
See "Micrometer"
Most specifically, these are organisms that are microscopic in size. In the air and water purification industry this term generally refers to harmful or disease causing biological organisms.
Microtex 4-Stage Filtration System
This is a trade name for a multilayer, high efficiency filter for certain Numatic vacuum cleaners that when used in conjunction with Numatic 3-layer Microflo dustbags will upgrade the machine to full British Allergy Foundation approval (for dry use only).
This term has not been well defined by the Federal Trade Commission but is generally used to indicate toxins produced by microbes such as mold or other processes of decomposition.
Mineral Absorption Pads
Used in warm mist humidifiers such as Slant Fin, mineral absorption pads are placed in the boiling chamber to capture minerals before they are expelled into the air stream.
Mold Mycotoxins
Mold can produce chemicals known as mycotoxins, which can cause illnesses in sensitive individuals or in individuals that experience repeated or large-scale exposures.
Mold Remediation
This is the process of safely removing mold from indoor environments. High quality, high filtration vacuum cleaners are often used in this process. Sometimes referred to as Mold Abatement.
Mold Spores
Molds reproduce by producing spores. Spores are differentiated by whether they can move or not. While both types of spores are of concern in the cleaning and air purification industry there is particular concern about airborne spores and their ability to trigger asthma, allergies and respiratory illnesses.
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity
This is a syndrome also known as "MCS" or "Environmental Illness" (EI) where a variety of multiple symptoms occur with low-level chemical exposure from a wide variety of sources. Symptoms commonly reported include fatigue, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, weakness, dizziness, headaches, heat intolerance and depressed mood. There is a great deal of controversy concerning this condition in the medical community.
