My workflow is sometimes the following:
- Delete many images from the media library at once (named for example,
- Re-upload a series of images with the same file names (
The media library retains and display shows the old images as thumbnails and previews, even though they are deleted.
Obviously this problem is avoidable by adding images with distinct file names, but I wondered if there were some better way that works regardless of naming convention. Or something else that I'm completely missing?

7 ways to troubleshoot if your iPhone keeps restarting
iPhone XS Max
You may need to try several troubleshooting methods if your iPhone keeps restarting.
Hollis Johnson/Business Insider
 - An iPhone that keeps restarting is a serious but uncommon problem.
 - If you can, back up your iPhone's data to iCloud or your computer so you don't lose all your personal data if catastrophe strikes.
 - Here are the most common troubleshooting steps you can try to fix an iPhone that keeps restarting.
 - Visit Insider's Tech Reference library for more stories.
It's certainly unusual for an iPhone to spontaneously restart. Apple's smartphones, like most modern smartphones, are dependable appliances that usually "just work." But glitches happen, and it's not hard to find reports from users that cite iPhones that keep restarting on their own.
If that describes what you are going through, don't worry — no matter which model iPhone you have, from an iPhone 6 through an iPhone 13 — there are some simple steps you can take to troubleshoot and solve your iPhone glitches.
Back up your iPhone
Before you perform any troubleshooting steps, be sure you have a reliable backup of all your apps and data. If your phone is continuously restarting so frequently that it's not usable at all, this might not be a practical step. But if you can, back up your iPhone to iCloud or your computer because, if your phone's hardware is failing, you might not get many more chances to safeguard your data and could lose everything stored on your iPhone.
Force-restart your iPhone
If your phone is stuck in a loop of endless restarts, you might be able to break the cycle by performing a hard reset. The exact steps to force your iPhone to restart will vary depending upon which model you have, but it generally involves holding the Power and one of the Volume buttons simultaneously. After the phone has been completely shut down for about a minute, turn it back on and see if that solved the problem.

Try to force-restart your iPhone, usually by holding the Power and a Volume button for several seconds.

Make sure the latest iOS update is installed
One of the first things you should do whenever troubleshooting a serious problem with your iPhone is to check for iOS updates. It's possible that a critical bug or some other incompatibility in your current version of iOS is causing your iPhone to keep restarting. To check, start the Settings app and then tap General. Tap Software Update. If there's an update available, you'll be able to install it from here.
Checking iOS for a software update.
Check the Software Update section of Settings to see if there are any iOS updates waiting to be installed.
Dave Johnson
Check the iPhone's error logs
Likewise, the problem might be the result of a single app that's causing a serious error to occur. Of course, if the restart problem very clearly started right after installing a recent app, uninstall that app now and see if that solves the problem.
If not, you can still check a log that your iPhone generates to see if there's an easy-to-spot problem. Start the Settings app and then tap Privacy. Tap Analytics & Improvements and then tap Analytics Data. Here you'll see a long list of reports. They're not especially easy to read, but you should scan the most recent reports to see if a specific app is mentioned more than once. If so, it might be causing critical errors. Uninstall the app and see if that solves your problem.
The analytics logs on the iPhone.
If a particular app keeps crashing, you should see it mentioned in the analytics logs.
Dave Johnson
Update all your apps
Even if you don't have any leads on a problematic app, you should still make sure they're all up to date. Start the App Store app and tap your account icon at the top right. If any apps require an update, you should see a section called Upcoming Automatic Updates. Tap Update All
Reset all your settings
Your iPhone manages a lot of settings — everything from WiFi passwords and network configurations to location and privacy settings. While it's not likely any of these settings are causing your iPhone to spontaneously restart, it's a possibility.
The most likely culprit is your network settings, so you should reset that first and see if it solves your problem. Start the Settings app and then tap General. Tap Transfer or Reset iPhone, followed by Reset. Finally, tap Reset Network Settings and confirm you want to do this.
If that doesn't solve your problem, then you can come back to the Reset menu and choose Reset All Settings. This will erase a broader range of personalized settings, so save it for a close-to-last resort.
The Reset Settings menu in iOS.
Try to reset your network settings; if that doesn't work, try resetting all settings.
Dave Johnson
Reset your iPhone to factory conditions
If absolutely nothing has made your iPhone stop restarting, you're down to your final option before contacting Apple for customer support: Reset the iPhone to its factory conditions, erasing all apps and data stored on it. If the problem is caused by any sort of software glitch, this will fix your iPhone.
When you factory reset your iPhone, remember not to let iOS automatically restore your apps and data right away. Start with a "factory fresh" iPhone and see if the restarting problem is fixed. If it is, you might try to restore your data. If the problem returns, you'll need to factory reset your iPhone and then manually reinstall apps from scratch — do not restore from a backup, because the glitch causing the problem is somewhere in your data. You'll need to start fresh.
Contact Apple for customer support
If you've tried all these troubleshooting steps and your iPhone still keeps restarting, it's likely the problem is not software related, but you have a hardware problem. That's not something you can solve on your own, so you should contact Apple's customer support and see if the phone needs to be serviced or replaced.

Recently, the Hall County Farmers Market held its annual membership meeting to make plans for the coming year and to set the opening day. Opening day is Tuesday, May 11, and the first Saturday of the year will be May 15.
The meeting room was bustling with excitement as farmers, gardeners and vendors are awaiting the 2010 season with great anticipation. Despite a down economy and the daily gloom-and-doom news reports, the market members are optimistic that this season will be a good one.
For those who have not visited before, a farmers market is a huge asset to the community.
A farmers market is a market in which producers from a local area gather to sell their own produce directly to the public, eliminating the "middleman."
By selling direct, the farmer is able to sell his or her product at a fair price and see a great return for their efforts. And in return, customers have the opportunity to support local agriculture and purchase the freshest food products available.
In addition, a farmers market is a low-cost way for a beginning farmer to learn about retailing and to develop marketing skills. The cost to participate is usually low, and at a good market there are plenty of customers.
Farmers markets have been increasing in popularity over the last 20 years as more and more consumers want to know where their food comes from. Specifically, the number of farmers markets in the U.S. has grown 79 percent from _PHONE_. There are approximately 3,500 farmers markets operating in the U.S. and 30 or more independent farmers' markets in Georgia.
If you're thinking of selling at farmers market this year, Georgia Organics, a longtime supporter of organic production and local markets, offers the following tips:
- Farmers should bring only high-quality produce to the market.
- Display produce in an attractive and eye-catching manner.
- It's all about relationships — talk to the customers, be friendly and courteous.
- Ask a fair price, be reasonable and don't undercut fellow farmers.
In Hall County and across Northeast Georgia, a wide range of commodities are grown, including apples, beans, bell peppers, blueberries, peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, grapes, greens, melons, okra, onions, peaches, peas, pecans, pumpkins, snap beans, strawberries, sweet corn, sweet potatoes and tomatoes.
And fortunately for those of us who are not farmers, we have access to all these great farm products at the Hall County Farmers Market, located on the corner of East Crescent Drive and Jesse Jewel Parkway near Interstate 985, Exit 24.
The market will be opening in May, and the farmers are looking forward to another productive year.

Cloning coast redwoods
William J. Libby, U.C., Berkeley.
California Agriculture 36(8):34-35. DOI: 10.3733/ca.v036n08p34b.
Not available – first paragraph follows:
In a redwood breeding program, time is a problem. Between germination (or planting) and harvest as a renewable source of wood, a redwood must survive and grow in a minimally managed environment for three to eight decades. Trees in park and amenity plantings may be expected to grow for centuries, or even millenia. Redwood foresters thus, and properly, tend to be conservative.

A Question of Commitment
Children's Rights in Canada
Order online and receive a 25% discount
$48.95 Paper, 456 pp.
In 1991, the Government of Canada ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, requiring governments at all levels to ensure that Canadian laws and practices safeguard the rights of children. A Question of Commitment: Children's Rights in Canada is the first book to assess the extent to which Canada has fulfilled this commitment.
The editors, R. Brian Howe and Katherine Covell, contend that Canada has wavered in its commitment to the rights of children and is ambivalent in the political culture about the principle of children's rights. A Question of Commitment expands the scope of the editors' earlier book, The Challenge of Children's Rights for Canada, by including the voices of specialists in particular fields of children's rights and by incorporating recent developments.
About R. Brian Howe, and Katherine Covell
R. Brian Howe is a professor of political science and Katherine Covell is a professor of psychology at Cape Breton University. They are co-directors of the university's Children's Rights Centre and the authors of numerous articles on children's rights and human rights in Canada. Their books include The Challenge of Children's Rights for Canada (WLUP, 2001) and Empowering Children: Children's Rights Education as a Pathway to Citizenship (2005). Katherine Covell is the author of the UN report Violence against Children in North America (2005).
"This compilation is extremely well written, and covers many important areas in children's rights. The information provided is detailed and delivered in a manner easy to comprehend. Obviously, this issue is close to the hearts of teh editors and contributors; their remarks were compelling and their evidence was strong. For a person who is not conversant in this area but wishes to improve their knowledge, A Question of Commitment: Children's Rights in Canada will prove to be an excellent resource."
— Catherine Cotter, University of Windsor Law Library, Canadian Law Library Review
"A Question of Commitment attempts to evaluate Canada's progress via a series of essays in areas such as economics, social policy, education, health care, family and child care, child sex abuse prevention, and criminal justice. The breadth and depth of these essays is significant."
— Joan Whitman Hoff, Lock Haven University of PA, American Review of Canadian Studies
"Each chapter provides not only an evaluation of Canada's commitment but also an interpretation of how the standards articulated in the CRC [United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child] might be applied to particular areas of policy and practice.... It should be noted that the book contains a copy of the CRC, allowing for convenient consideration of the specific articles and wording referred to by chapter authors... [The book] demonstrates how rights-based policy and practice with children is complicated by issues of family privace, historical precedent, cultural differences, government organization, and economic conditions."
— Megan Nordquest Schwallie, University of Chicago, Ethics and Social Welfare
"Each chapter is well written and integrated into the overall focus of the volume, with links to specific sections of the CRC [UN Convention on the Rights of the Child] and evaluations of governmental initiatives. The editors provide a strong introduction and conclusion, outlining the history and details of the CRC and concluding that Canada's commitment to meeting its obligations has been wavering at best, in part due to a widespread lack of education about the CRC. This is a valuable source book on the current state of children's rights in Canada.... Highly recommended. All levels/libraries."
— R.C. Raby, Brock University, CHOICE
"A trenchant reminder of the need to ensure that all orders of government live up to their obligations for the provision of basic and essential social rights of citizenship.... All of the chapters are well written, adopt an advocacy standpoint, are based on extensive research set within a Canadian context, and provide a well-rounded bibliography."
— Timothy Wild, Alberta College of Social Workers, Canadian Social Work/Travail social canadien


Subject: Re: Inherited shared slots
From: Erik Naggum <>
Date: 1998/04/13
Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp
Message-ID: <>
* Erann Gat
| Here's a puzzle for you CLOS and MOP wizards.
 I'll try to answer, anyway.
| Is there a way to have a slot variable that is inherited as a class
| allocated variable in the sub-class?
 sorry to be so elaborate, but do you mean as in this example:
(defclass foo ()
 ((zot :allocation :class)))
(defclass bar (foo)
(eq (setf (slot-value (make-instance 'bar) 'zot) (cons nil nil))
 (slot-value (make-instance 'bar) 'zot))
 should yield T?
 if so, you're in luck, because this is already the specified behavior of
 shared slots, _unless_ you create a new slot with the same name. here's
 what the HyperSpec says on this issue (7.5.3):
 A consequence of the allocation rule is that a shared slot can be
 shadowed. For example, if a class C1 defines a slot named S whose
 value for the :allocation slot option is :class, that slot is
 accessible in instances of C1 and all of its subclasses. However, if
 C2 is a subclass of C1 and also defines a slot named S, C1's slot is
 not shared by instances of C2 and its subclasses. When a class C1
 defines a shared slot, any subclass C2 of C1 will share this single
 slot unless the defclass form for C2 specifies a slot of the same name
 or there is a superclass of C2 that precedes C1 in the class precedence
 list of C2 that defines a slot of the same name.
 hope this helps.

Studying Hamilton's harbour invaders
A team of students in Sigal Balshine's Aquatic Behavioural Ecology Lab is working to better understand the invasive round goby fish found in Hamilton Harbour.
The students, both undergraduate and graduate, catch gobies at several locations around the bay and in Cootes Paradise. They then record the area in which the fish were caught, vital statistics such as their sex and size and water quality information.
The Aquatic Behavioural Ecology Lab researches the evolution of cooperation, parental care and breeding, sperm competition, species introductions and extinctions and the effects of contaminant exposure.
Pauline Capelle, in her third year studying biology and psychology, blogs about the lab's work as part of the School of Graduate Studies' new blog series.

Comments on the Chatfield Reallocation Mitigation Company's Open House, May 30, 2017
From the Audubon Society of Greater Denver
The Proposed Mitigation is Better, But Our Basic Concerns Remain
In a 2.5 hour session on the evening of May 30, 2017, the entity known as the Chatfield Reallocation Mitigation Company presented current plans for mitigation of the Chatfield Reallocation project. It was a very slick presentation with good visuals and experts to answer questions, and it answered some of the concerns we have voiced for years. However, there was no opportunity for the public to submit comments.
- More of the mitigation will occur in Chatfield State Park.
- Wetlands mitigation has been moved from the uplands into the riparian zones.
- Severe downcutting on Plum Creek will be addressed.
However, our basic concerns remain:
- There will be a net loss of habitat, since what is destroyed at Chatfield State Park will not be replaced; the off-site conservation easements protecting riparian habitat protect EXISTING areas and no new riparian habitat is being created.
- There will be a net loss of accessible recreation lands. We will lose riparian areas and lake shore in Chatfield State Park that are open to the public to inundation or conversion to mud flats; the mitigation lands put into conservation easements will not be open to the public.
- The Corps of Engineers has refused to consider less-damaging practicable alternatives.
- The Corps has manipulated the project documents to avoid compliance with the Clean Water Act's requirement that they choose "the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative." Instead, they chose the MOST damaging.
- The Corps has determined that the "dependable" yield of the project – how much water it will provide in severe drought years – is 0. We fail to see why so much money should be spent for a project that cannot deliver a dependable yield.
- Because the providers have very junior water rights, they will only be able to store additional water in Chatfield 3 years out of 10, according to the Corps of Engineers' calculations. Most of the time the fluctuation zone will be dry with great possibilities for dust and noxious weeds.
- There is still uncertainty about the fate of the mature cottonwoods in the Park.
The visuals for the recreational mitigation have been posted on _URL_. As of June 5, the environmental mitigation visuals, the schedule of work and the Ecological Function Unit calculations used to plan the environmental mitigation had NOT been posted for future reference.


text: The collagenolytic activity associated with insoluble collagen fibers separated from homogenates of inflamed paws from rats with adjuvant arthritis was quantitated using EDTA-sensitive solubilization of hydroxyproline as a measure of activity. Approximately 60% of the solubilized hydroxyproline was associated with dialyzable products. The level of collagenolytic activity in the paws increased with time after the induction of adjuvant arthritis and paralleled to a large extent the development of inflammation in both the adjuvant injected (right) hind paw and in the non-injected, contralateral paw. By day 26, the level of free collagenolytic activity in the injected paw had increased to a level 30 times normal while that in the contralateral paw had increased to a level 10 times normal. Treatment of the residues from the injected paws with trypsin resulted in the activation of a latent collagenolytic activity which, on day 26, accounted for approximately 50% of the total activity. The elevated level of collagen prolyl hydroxylase in the inflamed paw suggested that the rate of collagen synthesis was also increased. The activity of beta-glucuronidase increased in the inflamed paw with time after the induction of adjuvant arthritis while that of cathepsin G was elevated as compared to normal in paws removed, 5 but not 22 days after the induction of adjuvant arthritis. The inflamed paw of the adjuvant rat may represent a useful system in which to study the role of collagenolytic enzymes in the destruction of connective tissue by inflammatory lesions.

What's the difference between a coaxial strip light source products and light source products?
LED lamps and lanterns has small volume, small energy consumption, high brightness, long life, strong and durable, and other characteristics, high quality coaxial light and bar light products based on the basic properties of LED lights, after a certain processing technology, to be able to use in some metal, glass and other smooth surface or concave and convex surface illumination treatment and observation.
The following is a popular coaxial light source products and comparison of the strip light.
Lighting principle of coaxial light products will be LED square light through the tilted 45 degrees of semi-permeable half a glass of reflection.
Through the square light irradiation light through a semipermeable half the glass can be light by total reflection vertical to the object, and vertical reflections by the radiation of light through a semipermeable half the glass, into the camera.
The setting principle of simpler and strip light source products.
Through the LED lights to align the high-density bar planar circuit boards, and through the design of the device, to adjust the Angle of the bar light source, ensure that the light can be observed in any Angle projection in surface, through the Angle of the light image transformation to get different angles.
Use occasions because reflective in the process of product can eliminate exposure light source products and can avoid the camera in the image of reflection, so widely used in the metal of high reflectivity, observed on the surface of the glass.
Coaxial light source in the mirror surface treatment industry play a role of especially big.
And strip light source, because of the large flexibility can be observed from different angles and collecting image and get a full range of image information.
Therefore can be used in the test object's normal loading grain.
Such as the words on the packing box, plastic wrap can be detected damage, the damage to the conveyor belt, etc.
Mentioned above is coaxial strip light source products and light source products in lighting principle and using occasions.
Can be found that the coaxial light source products more detect high reflective surfaces, and strip light source products can be adjusted by irradiation Angle for uneven surface texture, damaged, or observation of written records, and so on and so forth.
For some objects of observation still can choose coaxial light and bar light at the same time.

Identification and Control of Calcium and Solids Fouling in a Packed Tower Steam Stripper
Abstract:Wastewater from a solid dosage pharmaceutical manufacturing plant and research activities are combined and processed through an onsite wastewater pre-treatment system. The system consists of pH control and packed tower steam stripping. Solids accumulation and scale formation within the conveyance and treatment system adversely impacts performance. A comprehensive sampling program of the wastewater conveyance and treatment system was conducted to identify and determine the source of the fouling. Standard analytical analysis and Computer Controlled Scanning Electron Microscopy (CCSEM) were employed for scale and source identification. USEPA's MINEQL+ chemical speciation model and Watercycle™ (scaling and corrosion model) were utilized to better understand the fate of calcium within the wastewater treatment and conveyance system. Bench scale tests were used to determine the appropriate chemistry for cleaning the fouled media within the treatment system. Results of the modeling and bench scale tests indicated citric and sulfamic acid were effective in cleaning fouled media and is an effective calcium scaling control agent.

Does Snapchat Restore Streaks?
Snapchat is an app which introduces its users with a distinctive event created by Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy and Reggie Brown, students at Stanford University. It is completely based on the idea of fading memories that do not last forever and are for a temporary period. Snapchat is often an art form. Embarrassing photos and video clips of you and your friends are instantaneous instead of being long term. Ongoing Snapchat streaks depend on the two friends efforts.
Snapchat streaks are gaming between you and your friend. Photos and video clips of you and your friend last for only ten seconds and stories last for a day. Moreover, pictures and video clips can be personalized using effects and filters. Many people are in love with streaks, so they keep on posting. Losing a streak could be annihilating of course as you and your friend has been maintaining a streak for years.
Want to get a Snapchat streaks with one of your friends and keep it going or have you lost a Snapchat streak and want it to get back?
What Exactly is a Snapchat Streaks?
A streak means that you and one of your Snapchat friends have both snapped each other a picture or video clip within 24 hours for at least three consecutive days. Once you have started a streak a flame (Snapchat trophy) with number will appear next to the name of your friend. The number beside the flame (emoji) tracks the number of days you have kept the streak going.
To keep it going you and your friend will both need to send each other a snap or video clip every day. Texting does not count towards your streak. If you see an hourglass (emoji) next to your friend's name, then your streak is about to expire. Make sure you send them a snap soon to keep your streak.
How to Keep Going a Streak?
A streak is a hard-bitten to keep on going than you think. Streak is surely easy to start but hard to keep it going on. Begin a day by sending a video clip or snap to each other. If your friend has not returned your video clip or snap back. Send them a reminder that you are waiting for a reply.

The weather in Lanzarote is one of the main reasons why this beautiful island receives it's fair share of tourism. The weather and temperature in Lanzarote is excellent all year round with hot summers and warm winters.
The picturesque volcanic island of Lanzarote is the most northern of all the Canary Islands which boasts over 100 beautiful beaches that are enjoyed by millions each year.
Weather in Lanzarote, Average Temperatures & Forecast
Lanzarote is the third most populated behind Tenerife and Gran Canaria with around 140,000 inhabitants.
Lanzarote has previously recorded over 5 millions visitors in a year and continues to be one of the busiest islands of the Canaries. The popular tourist resorts of Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca are located here. The winter average temperature is as high as 17 Celsius and does not tend to drop much lower. The average temperature during the hotter summer months is 25 Celsius but this is likely to seem much warmer in July, August and September.
Autumn Weather in Lanzarote
The Weather in Lanzarote in the Autumn months of September, October and November is still hot but the temperature is gradually decreasing. September is almost as hot as August but you are more likely to see some rain. October and November will also have good temperatures but it will rain for several days at least for each of those months.
September is the beginning of the autumn months when the temperature begins to drop after the hot summer. Most of September is similar to August with an average temperature of around 25 Celsius. September has a good 8 hours of sunshine and the sea temperature is a warm 22 Celsius. Although the temperatures is dropping you can expect to see plenty of days that top 30 Celsius. A high temperature of 40.5 Celsius has been recorded in September previously and you will be unlikely to see more than one day of rain during this month.
October sees a considerable drop of around two Celsius after a hot September. The weather in October in Lanzarote is still excellent with an average temperature of 23 Celsius. The daily hours of sunshine will remain at 8 and the sea temperature will stay at 22 Celsius. October sees two or three days rainfall on average but the precipitation levels are minimum during this month. A high temperature of 37.1 Celsius has been recorded previously so you are likely to see plenty of days in the high twenties and perhaps creeping up to 30 Celsius.
November sees another drop in temperature in Lanzarote and the sea temperature will decrease to 21 Celsius. The average daily temperature during November is a warm 21 Celsius but there will be a significant increase in the amount of rainfall and precipitation. The evenings will begin to feel much cooler during as well lead into the winter months. The sun can still reach high temperatures in November, this month has previously recorded a high temperature of 34.2 Celsius.
Winter Weather In Lanzarote
The temperature during the winter months of December, January and February will reach it's lowest yearly levels and there will be significantly more rainfall and days of rain. The average temperature in winter is 17 – 18 Celsius and the hours of sunshine will decrease also.
December is by far the rainiest month in Lanzarote with around four of five days of expect rainfall. This month sees double the precipitation of most months but the average temperature is still warm at 19 Celsius. The hours of sunshine drop to 6 during December and the sea level drops to 20 Celsius. The evenings during December will now be much cooler but probably not drop much below 15 Celsius. The recorded high temperate in recent years in December is 27.5 Celsius, this is lower than any other month of the year.
January is the coldest month in Lanzarote but also one of the most popular for visitors to the Canary Islands in general. The average daily temperature is 17 Celsius but there will still be plenty of days that reach 20 Celsius. The hours of sunshine are slightly more than December but this is marginal. January will see around three days of rainfall but the precipitation will be much less than the previous month. A record high temperature during January was 27.9 Celsius but the sea temperature will now drop to 19 Celsius.
February sees the temperature gradually increasing along with with the hours of expected sunshine. The average temperature during February will rise to 18 Celsius but the sea level will drop to this temperature also. This month sees more rainfall than January historically, you can expect around three days of rainfall. The evening temperature will also increase as winter reaches it's conclusion at the end of the month. The highest recorded temperature in recent years in February was as high as 29 Celsius so you will probably need the sun tan cream.
Spring Weather In Lanzarote
The spring weather In Lanzarote is particularly good and the months of March, April and May are popular with tourists. The temperature is now increasing and the rainfall is becoming less and less frequent.
March is the beginning of spring when the temperature will begin to increase, this is especially true towards the end of the month. The hours of sunshine will increase to 8 hours and the average temperature will increase to 19 Celsius. There will likely be a few days of rainfall but the precipitation will be much less than February. The sea temperature will remain at a chilly 18 Celsius but the normal outside temperature will increase into to the twenties for many days during this month. A high temperature of 32.7 Celsius has been recorded previously in March.
April sees another noticeable increase in the temperature and the hours of sunshine will increase to 9 hours. The average temperature during April is 20 Celsius with a low of around 17 Celsius. The amount of rainfall in April is much less than previous months and the sea level increases to 19 Celsius. April has previously recorded a high temperature of 36.3 Celsius.
May is the final spring month but could quite easily be considered a summer month. The average temperature in May is 21 Celsius but this will likely be closer to 25 Celsius for many days of this month. There is usually little to no rainfall during May and the hours of sunshine will increase to 10 leading into summer. The sea temperature will remain at 19 Celsius for most of this month. A high temperature of 42.6 Celsius has been recorded in May, only July and August has seen a hotter temperature in recent years.
Summer Weather In Lanzarote
The summer weather in Lanzarote is typically hot with it's close proximity to the Western Sahara and the African mainland. Lanzarote is marginally the hottest of the Canary Islands especially on the eastern coast with the warm air blown from the Sahara Desert. This hot air can sometimes create very hazy conditions when visibility becomes much more difficult. Although the average temperature is around 25 Celsius, May, June, July, August and September have all recorded temperatures that have exceeded 40 Celsius.
June is the beginning of the summer months in Lazarote and the temperature will begin to increase dramatically. The average temperature in June is 23 Celsius but this is much hotter towards the ends of the month. The hours of sunshine will remain at 10 but the sea temperature will increase to 21 Celsius. There is precious little rainfall during this month in recent years. It's common for the temperature during June to top 30 Celsius and a high temperature of 40.6 Celsius was previously recorded.

What is phosphatidylserine? Why do we need it?
Phosphatidylserine is a type of phospholipid, a fat-soluble substance necessary for the composition of cell membranes. Normally, the body manufactures phosphatidylserine from other components of phospholipids. It is found in high concentrations in the brain and elsewhere in the body.
Most research concerning phosphatidylserine has examined its role in mental function and the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Placebo-controlled studies have suggested that phosphatidylserine may have a moderate effect in improving mental function in Alzheimer's, with the effects lasting up to three months after the conclusion of the study. However, phosphatidylserine is not a cure for Alzheimer's disease; at best, it appears to slow mental deterioration.
Phosphatidylserine also appears to affect the levels of certain neurotransmitters that are related to mood. Hence, it may be of benefit in the treatment of depression.
How much phosphatidylserine should I take?
Because phosphatidylserine is manufactured naturally by the body, deficiencies caused by diet usually do not exist. Most studies of phosphatidylserine have used 300 mg or 600 mg per day, usually derived from soy.
What forms of phosphatidylserine are available?
Phosphatidylserine is manufactured naturally by the body. Dietary forms are rather uncommon. Very small amounts of phosphatidylserine are found in lecithin. Most clinical studies have used phosphatidylserine derived from bovine animals, specifically, bovine brain tissue. As a dietary supplement, phosphatidylserine is usually derived from soy. It is available in capsule, tablet and liquid forms.
What can happen if I take too much phosphatidylserine? Are there any interactions I should be aware of? What precautions should I take?
Because of concerns about mad cow disease, bovine-based forms of phosphatidylserine are not available in the United States. As of this writing, no significant side-effects have been reported in people taking phosphatidylserine, nor are there any known drug interactions. As always, make sure to consult with a licensed health care provider before taking phosphatidylserine or any other dietary supplement or herbal remedy.

All about Insulated Tools
Tool safety is a vital thing for any professional who uses them. Choosing the right tool is not only a matter of performance but also the protection it gives the user. Therefore, for protection purposes what are the best tools? The answer is straightforward, insulated tools.
Why insulated tools?
Using insulated tools is not a priority for professionals working on live electrical current. From the performance point of view, the same task can be comfortably done by regular tools. The critical difference between the two is that insulated tools over user protection against electrical shock up to 1000 V.
No amount of modification made on conventional tools such as a garden hose to cover the handles or coating the exposed parts with the coating of ordinary cover will give same level protection such as fully certified insulated tools.
How insulated tools are made
Compared to regular tools, insulated tools are more expensive. The process tools go through to give the user a higher level of protection against electrical menaces is both times consuming and complicated.
The most common methods used to manufacture insulated tools are injection molding and dipping. Choosing one device over the other depends on user habit and personal preference.
The dipping process is mostly used by the North America manufacturers such as Gray tools. The process requires that each device is cleaned, trimmed, polished and laser engraved. To achieve maximum results, most of the process steps need a precise and lengthy amount of curing time.
Insulated tools under the dipping process feature two layers of insulation in contrasting colors. Besides the insulation properties, the inner layer acts as a safety indicator. If the coating becomes visible through the outer layer, the tools are not safe to use.
Asian and European insulated manufacturers prefer the injection molding process. These tools feature handles molded from insulation material.
Things to consider when choosing insulated tools
Once you have decided your preferred tool designs, below are some tips for choosing insulated tools.
Choose a reputable tool manufacturerQuality of a tool is not solely judged on insulation method but also the performance of the tool. Tools from established manufacturers are from within their portfolio. Also, the tools have been tried and tested.
Check the gripYou should have a tool that has a secure grip. This minimizes injuries related to tool drop or slippage.
WarrantiesIf all things are standard, the next step is being keen on the warranty. A warranty can make a difference between efficiency and time lost with warranty claims. Reputable brands have a lifetime guarantee for insulated tools.
How to ensure insulated tools are safe to use
Use insulated tools on areas whose temperatures are compatible with the stipulated manufacturer's specifications.
Each time you plan to use insulated tools, perform a visual inspection. If you find nicks, cuts, cracks, or any other damage to the outer layer, stop using the tool until the mess is mended.
Don't dare to touch un-insulated part of the tool that might come into contact with live electrical.
Keep your insulated tools away from cutting vessels such as razors and utility knives. This helps to stop the damage of insulating material.
Keep your tools away from heat sources.
Clean and maintain your insulated tools regularly for reliable services.
In conclusion, insulated tools provide maximum user protection than regular tools. For more information visit the Facom website, it has further details of insulated tools.


Colleges of Coimbra
The former colleges of the University of Coimbra, belonging to religious orders (regular colleges) or destined to accommodate students from outside the city (secular colleges), were all extinguished by decree in 1834. The buildings were subsequently sold, transformed and adapted to other functions - some even demolished, partially or totally.
The analysis on the university colleges developed by the students aim to reconstitute the buildings in their original state or at some stage of their functioning as colleges - using, for this, drawing as an instrument of analysis, testing and representation.

After re-reading Dan Pink's A Whole New Mind, I realized his book's six senses apply directly to presentations. In order to deliver a successful message to an audience, you must consider the design of your visual presentation. In Part One of this three-part series, we covered design. Read Part One here.
Design is the first of Pink's six senses. Today, we'll focus on the importance of story and how you must weave stories into your presentation content; the symphony of the parts of the presentation to make a synthesized whole; and the empathy for your audience in putting their needs first. Pink's final two senses are meaning and play, which we will discuss in Part Three.
The experts agree: story is an essential part of any presentation. Pink explains that stories are the way we remember, so use story in your presentations if you want audiences to remember your speech. Nancy Duarte says stories are meaningful and engaging for audiences. She emphasizes that even in informative presentations, story should be used to connect (Source). In Made to Stick, the Heath brothers emphasize story as one of the six qualities of "sticky" ideas… ideas that stick in our minds and remain with us (Source). Garr Reynolds says we can look to entertainers and comedians like Bill Cosby for lessons on telling stories in our own presentations (Source). All of the major gurus of modern public speaking and presentation agree that story is important, but how do you actually use story in your speeches?
Tell a story right at the beginning of your presentation to hook your audience. Garr Reynolds calls an effective introduction the "P.U.N.C.H." (Source). Weave story throughout your entire presentation. Duarte suggests incorporating stories into your presentations "like layers of a cake" (Source). Mix a little story with a little informative content to ensure audiences remember more of your speech.
You can also use a visual story to reinforce your verbal message (your content). Create slides that are actually visual instead of following the traditional and terrible death-by-bulletpoint method.
Dan Pink describes symphony as putting together all of the pieces to form a unified whole. You have to put together all of the pieces for your audience… You must not only tell your audience your thesis (your argument), but also provide support for that thesis with supporting points. But your job doesn't end there. To create symphony, you must actually explain how each of your supporting points forms a whole, cohesive argument. Never stop explaining. The only way an audience can see the big picture is if you break down your argument into pieces and then put the pieces back together.
How? First, symphony is created by using a structure that works for your audience. Using a traditional introduction, body, and conclusion structure is familiar for your audience, so they can focus on digesting your content instead of worrying about organizing your ideas AND digesting your content.
Flow is extremely important when it comes to symphony. Pink suggests that relationships are key to symphony, so it is your job as a presenter to show those relationships in a clear, cohesive fashion. Transition well from introduction to body; from body point to body point; and from body to conclusion. Using transitions helps your presentation flow, and flow helps your audience see the bigger picture.
Again, symphony also relates to your visual presentation. For example, Pink uses the FedEx logo in Chapter 6 on Symphony to explain the key to effective visuals: cohesive relationships. Your visual presentation must make effective use of relationships: light and dark; positive space and negative space; signal and noise; and many others. Read Nancy Duarte's slide:ology and Garr Reynolds' Presentation Zen to truly understand the importance of relationships in visual presentation and why effective relationships create symphony for your PowerPoint or Keynote.
Empathy, especially defined by A Whole New Mind, relates to audience-centered presentations. If you are an empathetic presenter, you put your audience first. Because of this technique, you present stronger speeches because you follow Nancy Duarte's golden rule: Never deliver a presentation you wouldn't want to sit through yourself.
Audience-centered presenting relates to all three legs of the presentation stool. Let's talk first about content. An empathetic presenter would never deliver boring content because he understands what his audience needs to be engaged. An empathetic presenter uses ethos, pathos, and logos effectively to create a well-rounded message. An empathetic presenter uses story to make his speech more memorable. An empathetic presenter also knows that the key to effective content always comes back to audience analysis.
Moving onto the second leg of the presentation stool, empathetic presenters have strong emotional IQs in order to deliver successful speeches. A great way to start learning about empathetic, audience-centered delivery is to immediately read The Naked Presenter by Garr Reynolds. It is a must-own for anyone who has to give a speech. Empathetic delivery is about mirror neurons and physically mirroring for your audience the response you want them to have. If your passionate nonverbal communication matches the quality of exciting, audience-centered content, you're being an empathetic presenter.
Lastly, please remember to empathize with your audience when creating visual presentation. Don't treat your audience as if they are stupid. They can read. If you create slides full of text on bullet points, they're going to read that text ahead of you. If you're slowly catching up, reading each bullet word-for-word, your audience is going to hate you, and they're going to wish you'd sit down and stop wasting their time. Empathy is important when it comes to visual presentation, and it is your job as a presenter to meet the various learning styles of your audience. 99% of us are visual, so replace all of that text with an impacting image.

Bird's nest fungi are fascinating! These tiny, moisture-loving fungi grow in wooded areas, including the woods along the Forest Trail at Prairie Ridge.
What is a bird's nest fungus? Bird's nest fungi are part of the fungus family Nidulariaceae. You can distinguish them from other fungi by their unique bird's nest-like shape, complete with eggs inside. They are decomposers that feed on rotting wood, so you typically find them in damp, wooded areas.
Where are bird's nest fungi found? Bird's nest fungi are very common and found in moist areas throughout the world. They are especially common in areas that have been enriched or landscaped with wood chips or wood mulch.
What are the "eggs" inside the nests? Bird's nest fungi have a fascinating method of reproduction! The "eggs" inside the nests contain fungal spores, which are effectively the seeds of the fungus. The bird's nest shape of the fungus creates a splash up so that when it rains, raindrops that fall into the cups at just the right angle fling the eggs far from the fungus. The spores are then released from the "egg" and new fungi eventually grow from the spores.
Bird's nest fungi are currently abundant in the Build a Home for a Gnome area along the Forest Trail at Prairie Ridge. Come out and take a look! To find them, get down close to the ground and look for the little cup shape of the fungus. At about 3/8 of an inch, they're quite small, but keep looking! You'll soon see a dense mat of them covering the ground and see the little "eggs" inside.

If you use groups in Address Book, you know that you can sort your contacts any way you want. To create a group, select File -> New Group. Groups are like iTunes' playlists; just select a bunch of contacts, then drag them on the group's name to add them.
But you may want to find contacts that are not in a specific group, say to create a group to sync to your cellphone, or to find contacts that have or don't have certain types of information.
Let's use an example of one group called Phone, with the contacts that you sync to your cellphone. Say you want to find all the contacts who are not in that group, and put them in a group called Not Phone. This involves a little trick when you select items in Address Book. Here's how it works:
 1. Create an empty group named Not Phone.
 2. Select all of your contacts and add them to this group.
 3. Click on the Phone group and select all of its contacts. (They may already be selected).
 4. Click on the Not Phone group. You should notice that only the members of the Phone group are selected!
 5. Press Tab once to switch focus to the Name column.
 6. Hit Delete, then click the Remove from Group button in order to remove them from the group.
At this point, you have a group called Not Phone which includes only the contacts who are not in the Phone group. It should be relatively easy to extend this to other combinations. For instance, to create a group of Miscellaneous contacts, create a new group, then remove anyone from the Friends, Family, and Work groups. Or, to make a list of your work friends, make a group called not Work and subtract them from the Friends group.
You can also use smart groups, then find contacts that are not in these groups. For example, to find all your contacts that don't have phone numbers, create a smart group where Phone Is Set. This criteria simply means that the phone number field is not empty. Then create a regular group and call it, say, No Phone Number. Perform the above steps, adding all your contacts to the No Phone Number group, selecting all those in the Phone Is Set group, then switching and deleting those who have phone numbers.

How do I properly terminate my RT CAN equipment?
In order to ensure that reflection does not cause communication failure, the transmission line must be terminated. This cannot be done in the RT hardware itself, as it depends on the installation as to whether it is required or not. If this is not done correctly, then it is likely that CAN interface will not work, or will have erratic behaviour.
Both ends of the pair of signal wires (CAN_H and CAN_L) must be terminated. This is because communication flows both ways on the CAN bus. CAN_L is pin 2, and CAN_H is pin 7 on the standard 9-Pin D-Sub connector. The termination resistors on a cable should match the nominal impedance of the cable. ISO 11898 requires a cable with a nominal impedance of 120 ohms, and therefore 120 ohm resistors should be used for termination. If multiple devices are placed along the cable, only the devices on the ends of the cable need termination resistors. The diagram below gives an example of how to terminate a high-speed network.

Hutong means a lane or alley, formed by lines of Quadrangles where old Beijing residents live, witness the vicissitude of the city. The gray-tiled houses and deep alleys crossing with each other in identical appearance like a maze, you will find it much fun to walk through but be care not to lost yourself.
According to experts, the word Hutong originated from Mongolian language meaning "well". In ancient times, people tended to gather and live around wells. So the original meaning of Hutong should be a place where people gather and live.
A 37-metre-wide road was called an avenue, an 18-metre-wide one was called a street, and a 9-metre-wide lane was called a Hutong. Most of today's Hutong were formed during the Ming and Qing Dynasties that followed.
Nobody knows exactly how many Hutongs there are in nowadays Beijing. But one thing is for sure, if we connected all the Hutongs together, their total length would even be longer than the famous Great wall, which is about 4000 miles longer. Or to make it clear, it could build a highway from Seattle to Boston, all across America!
In old times, transportation was not as convenient as today, street vendors played a very important role in Hutong life. They wandered from lane to lane selling various goods or providing all kind of services. People could judge the goods or services from their peddling or the sounds of their special instruments. The food they sold usually include baked pancakes, seasoned millet mush, or Youzhaguo, a kind of deep-fried twisted dough sticks, and all kinds of vegetables.
The main attraction of Hutong life is friendly and interpersonal communication. Children living in one courtyard play together and grow up together like one big family. So now our government is trying to preserve such Hutong area in Beijing. Without permission, nobody is allowed to tear down old houses to build high-rise apartments. We want to save it as a treasure to show our later generations what Beijing used to be like.


Protocols and methods
Here you can find measurement protocols and data processing methods for NanoCuvette™, SpectroLink™ and SpectroWorks™.
To calculate the refractive index with the NanoCuvette™ One it is required to obtain three spectra using a conventional spectrophotometer:
 1. A reference spectrum through the optical filter using a reference liquid (usually water).
 2. A sample spectrum through the optical filter.

Father David Beauregard has more evidence in his new book than you could shake a speare at.
Father Beauregard claims that the theological content of the bard's plays is overwhelmingly Catholic. Take the following examples from Father Beauregard's Catholic Theology in Shakespeare's Plays (University of Delaware Press):
- Anglican clergyman, the 17th-century cleric Richard Davies, wrote that the great playwright "died a Papist."
- "Catholic Theology in Shakespeare's Plays" (University of Delaware Press), that Shakespeare was Catholic.
- The ghost of Hamlet's murdered father tells his son that he is in purgatory, a Catholic concept.
- Isabella, a novice nun in "Measure for Measure," is a model of virtue, a break with Protestant dramatists who depicted Catholic religious as sinners, said Beauregard. (It's telling, he adds, that Shakespeare made Isabella a novice; an earlier play on which "Measure for Measure" was partly based portrayed Isabella as a secular woman.)

Project Wolf is being trialled at Dundreggan estate in Glenmoriston, near Loch Ness. It involves teams of volunteers taking frequent walks through the forest between dusk and dawn and creating enough noise to keep hungry deer on the move.
The unique initiative, launched by conservation charity Trees for Life, aims to mimic the natural disturbance effects of Scotland's extinct predators.
It is hoped the nighttime activities will stop deer feasting on delicate saplings and allow the forest, a remnant of Scotland's native Caledonian Pinewood, to regenerate.
"Grazing pressure on young trees by too many deer, today undisturbed by natural predators, is the major threat to Scotland's native forests," said charity founder Alan Watson Featherstone.
"This is starkly apparent in the surviving Caledonian Forest, where many remnants consist only of old and dying trees because young trees cannot survive the relentless browsing.
"By walking through Dundreggan's woodlands at unpredictable times, the volunteers mimic the effect of wolves in keeping deer on their toes and less likely to spend time leisurely eating seedlings and young trees.
"This will encourage new trees to flourish – giving them the chance to form the next generation of forest giants that are desperately needed if the Caledonian Forest is to survive."
Doug Gilbert, Trees for Life operations manager, added: "Project Wolf is backed by a growing body of research which shows that predators have a much wider impact on their prey than just the animals they manage to hunt and kill.
"In many ways, the fear that the presence of predators generates in prey animals is just as important as their direct impacts."
As a pay-off for their sleepless nights, wolves have been enjoying the chance to encounter some of the other nocturnal creatures living in the forest, including badgers, pine martens, foxes, owls and bats.
Project Wolf is part-supported by funding the charity received after winning a global conservation competition in March.
Trees For Life's broader Rewilding the Highlands project, which also involves planting 50,000 native trees and the creation of habitats to offer a lifeline to rare wildlife, won the Alpine category of the 2016 European Outdoor Conservation Association scheme, securing £23,000 as a result of an online public vote.

- About Ateneum
John Everett Millais (1829–1896) belonged to the generation that lived before the Symbolists of the 1890s. He was a founder member of the Pre-Raphaelites, who have been described as Britain's first modern art movement. His works combine scientific precision with a prolific imagination. In his later works he underlined a more realistic view of the world, rather than fairytale, while never totally abandoning lyricism.
Millais was born in Southampton into a wealthy family, originally from the isle of Jersey. As a boy he displayed a precocious talent for art, winning a silver medal at the Society of Arts in London at the age of nine. He was the youngest ever student admitted to the Royal Academy Schools, which he entered at the age of eleven.
He was a co-founder, in 1848, of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, along with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt. The group believed in truth to nature, but their work also drew on literary and religious themes, and was often heavily reliant on visual symbolism.
The Pre-Raphaelites were championed by the critic John Ruskin, whose wife Effie Gray married Millais in 1855. The couple settled at Bowerswell, Perthshire, and in 1881 Millais rented a sporting estate at Murthly, where he was inspired to produce some of his most atmospheric late landscapes. Millais also established himself as a successful portrait painter and in 1885 he was created a baronet. In 1896, shortly before his death, he was elected President of the Royal Academy in London.


Abstract
In the field of production engineering, various complex multi-objective problems are known. In this paper we focus on the design of mold temperature control systems, the reconstruction of digitized surfaces, and the optimization of NC paths for the five-axis milling process. For all these applications, efficient problem-specific algorithms exist that only consider a subset of the desirable objectives. In contrast, modern multi-objective evolutionary algorithms are able to cope with many conflicting objectives, but they require a long runtime due to their general applicability. Therefore, we propose hybrid algorithms for the three applications mentioned. In each case, the problem-specific algorithms are used to determine promising initial solutions for the multi-objective evolutionary approach, whose variation concepts are used to generate diversity in the objective space. We show that the combination of these techniques provides great benefits. Since the final solution is chosen by a decision maker based on this Pareto front approximation, appropriate visualizations of the high-dimensional solutions are presented.

Reasons why fish farming is profitable in USA are many and that is so because America is one of the largest consumers of the market. The first fish hatchery in America was in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1887 and it has over the years multiplied it fish-selling base into hundreds in each state if not thousands.
Fish farming (otherwise known as pisciculture) involves commercial breeding of fish, usually for food, in fish tanks or artificial enclosures such as fish ponds. It is a particular type of aquaculture, which is the controlled cultivation and harvesting of aquatic animals such as fish, crustaceans, molluscs and so on, in natural or pseudo-natural environment.
Fish is a very proteinous food which is classified as essential to the growth and development of the human body. Thus, the consumption of any types of fish is necessary and important to every household in the USA. Following this therefore, the country begins to increase the number of its fish farmers through their huge demand for fish and the many realizations that venturing into the fish business is capable of maximizing profits and expanding financial coasts.
On the contrary, fish farming does not come without its cons even though this article is basically preoccupied with the pros of the business. Some of the challenges and risks that may be attached to the profitability of the fish farming are:
- Fish are very sensitive to management, and minor mistakes can lead to degradation or even death of the fish, which can result in a huge loss of income.
- Establishing fish farms is capital-intensive; Far more than poultry and Turkey farming. Fish farms require more careful planning and a lot of money. A relatively small fish farm (cage) may require 1 square meter to build, while a larger farm (pond) requires 8.5 square meters.
- Because of production costs, fish from farms cost more than fish from rivers and ponds. So, if there are a lot of farming fish in the market, you may find it hard to sell, because people prefer cheaper fish.
- Unlike poultry, there are no by-products, and even dung can be harvested and sold to other farmers for extra profit. In fishery, what you get is flesh.
Reasons Why Fish Farming is Profitable in USA.
The profitability of fish business cannot be undermined in the farming business of America. This means to say that reasons why fish farming is profitable in USA are undeniable parts of the American agricultural and business reality. Some of these reasons shall therefore be highlighted below for you to digest:
1. Fish is a Popular Food
One of the reasons why fish farming is profitable in USA is because fish is a highly respected food all across the world. And as a respected kind of food, it is widely accepted and easily chosen in the market.
2. Fish is Nutritious
It's worth noting that fish is the primary protein source for over 1 billion people all over the world. Protein is the strongest nutritional value for the development and growth of the human body. This is one of the reasons why fish farming is profitable in USA.
3. Fish has a Ready-Made Market
Given all the facts that fish is popularly consumed daily by a wide number of people, highly nutritious, and considered one of the best food essential for human survival, anyone who wishes to go dive into the pool of fish farming business should understand that it already has a ready-made market.
4. Fish has Different Species
Fish is the most diverse group among the vertebrates, with over 33,000 different types of fish species. This provides people with choices of tastes and preferences; thus, it makes fish one of the most sought-after. For such fact, it is one of the reasons why fish farming is profitable in USA.
5. Fish is Used in Pharmaceutical Industry to Make Drugs
Fish farming is also very profitable in the United States of America because across the world, America is one of the largest producers of drugs after India, and as so, fish becomes useful as it is an essential ingredients in the production of some drugs. Big pharmaceutical industries buy a very large amount of fish from fish farmers who have so far grown into large scale business.
Types of Fish Farming
- Fish Hatchery
Hatchery is a kind of artificial fish breeding place, which carries out reproduction, hatching and growth in various stages of the life cycle of fish. Choosing the right fish is very important. Some common fish in hatcheries are shrimp, Tilapia, Salmon, Scallops, Carp fish, etc.
- Tilapia Fish Farming
Tilapia farming is very profitable. Some of the main reasons tilapia is profitable include its high protein content, rapid growth and large size compared to other fish.
- Cat Fish farming
This is one of the most common fish farming operations. The cat-fish business is so profitable that farmers can easily combine it with other fish. In any case, startup costs are reasonable, depending on your location. You can easily start small.
- Carp Fish Farming
This is another fish farming business where you can delve into and capture the market. Carp are known as omnivorous fish, although they tend to eat animal foods as mollusks, as well as worms and insect larvae. You may not necessarily spend too much on feed when you are in the carp farming business.
- Shrimp Farming
Shrimp farming is another fish farming business that is considered profitable. The demand for shrimp is so high that you can start small or large.
- Crab Farming
Crab farming is another lucrative business. When running a crab farming business, you can reduce land and labor costs, and you can produce commercial quantities in a small area. Crabs grow very quickly and are highly accepted and desired in the market. Pricing is also great.
- Prawn Farming
Prawn farming is another fish farming business, where there is a lot of profit, probably due to the high demand for prawn.
- Ornamental Fish Farming
Ornamental fish are loosely called ornamental fish. They are beautiful, gorgeous and colorful. The demand for ornamental fish has increased greatly and there is a good market for them.
- Salmon Fish Farming
Salmon is a fish that is considered a carnivore. You can also drill down into salmon farming and start producing commercial quantities.
- Indoor Fish Farming
You can start an indoor fish business from your backyard, in a tank, for very little money.

initial graphs (minimal and negative initial digraphs)
One of the main advantages of MGG over other approaches to graph transformation is its ability to study properties of the grammar independently of the initial state. Thus, it is possible to define an algortihm (productions of a grammar) and analyse some of its properties without taking into account the concrete problem it is going to be applied to.
For a given sequence, one natural question is the minimal (smallest) graph that we have to be given in order to apply the sequence. Recall that MGG is not only able to study the elements that have to be present in order to apply a production, but also those that must not be in the initial graph. The minimal initial digraph (MID) is precisely this smallest graph. The negative initial digraph (NID) specifies those elements that should not appear in the host graph. They both can be explicitely calculated. Sections 4.4 and 5.3 in the MGG book are devoted to this topic. It is interesting that we can use this concepts to contribute to Petri nets (Sec. 8.2).
The main importance of the initial digraphs is that they substitute the host graph in those cases where some initial state is mandatory. For example, when dealing with universal quantifiers in application conditions. Hence, the analysis of the grammar productions can be performed without the need of a concrete host graph.
In previous posts I have commented on non-determinism in MGG, being one of its sources how nodes across productions are related (whether two nodes of the same type in different productions have to be the same node or not). If we have in mind a concrete sequence, as soon as the left hand sides of the productions are matched in the state graph the non-determinism disappears. But the interesting part of the analysis is the one that happens before the productions are matched into the host graph. Recall that this non-determinism is classified as vertical and horizontal. The initial digraphs deal with horizontal non-determinism, so they contribute also to the study of the vertical non-determinism.
Depending on the way completion is carried out, different initial digraphs will be derived, giving rise to the notions of initial digraph set. The horizontal non-determinism needs further research. For some time I tried to address this issue using representation theory, which I will comment on in a future post. There is a fast introduction to representation theory here.
Summarizing, initial digraphs are interesting at least for three reasons: They keep independence in MGG of the analysis with respect to the host graph, they also help in the study of horizontal non-determinism and they answer the question of what is the smallest graph able to fire a sequence.
Today I find myself a bit sarcastic. Normally I choose quotes that are related to the topic of the post in some way, but today I cannot stand including the following phrase from David Hilbert: Some people have got a mental horizon of radius zero and call it their point of view.


A bike helmet concept fo the Circular Economy.
CHB_01 is allowing the user to renew the bike helmet after a crash without throwing away the whole product. Instead, the safety-relevant elements get replaced.
CHB_01 uses a modular system in which each component is dedicated to its primary function. The Modular System allows replacing broken parts, like the foam core after a crash or a certain amount of time due to the degradation through UV-rays. Additionally, this enables upgrades of functionality, through different components, in the future.
Thanks to the modular system of the CBH_01 the helmet can be easily split into single type materials. This allows a streamlined recycling process. Furthermore, the reuse of materials reduces the environmental impact by replacing individual pieces instead of buying a new helmet. In addition, new material innovations allow CBH_01 even more eco-friendly.
Besides the lower environmental impact and the cost saving benefits, modularity also allows for mass customisation. Every user will be able to create his or her very own colour theme. Thereby the consumer builds a more profound emotional bond with CBH_01 which will lead to a higher acceptance of bike helmets.

Measuring the Community Impacts of Research Oriented Partnerships
The CIROP is a 33-item, generic measure of community members' (i.e., those receiving information or services from the partnership, or those involved in the partnership) perceptions of the impact of research partnerships addressing social and health issues.
In the CIROP, the focus is on how and to what extent a specific research partnership has had an influence on an individual, an organization or group, and a community. The CIROP Measure will inform research partnerships about the amount of impact, if any, they are having on their target audiences in the areas of:
CIROP Measure [99kb PDF]
King, G., Servais, M., Currie, M., Kertoy, M., Law, M., Rosenbaum, P., Specht, J., Willoughby, T., Forchuk, C., & Chalmers, H. (2003). The Community Impacts of Research Oriented Partnerships (The CIROP Measure). Available from _URL_.
Research partnerships wishing to evaluate their effectiveness may invite the intended users or beneficiaries of their partnerships knowledge sharing and education efforts to complete the CIROP. This instrument also will allow community stakeholders and advisory boards to capture the success of their collaborative research initiatives. For more ideas on possible uses of this tool, please see the journal article about the development of the CIROP Measure (details below).
Specific details about the development of the CIROP Measure are described in the following journal article
Currently, there are no psychometrically sound outcome measures by which to assess the impacts of research partnerships. This article describes the development of a 33-item, survey questionnaire measuring community members' perceptions of the impact of research partnerships addressing health and social issues. The Community Impacts of Research Oriented Partnerships (CIROP) was developed using information from the literatures on health promotion, community development, research utilization, and community-based participatory research, and from focus groups involving 29 key informants. Data from 174 community members were used to determine the factor structure, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability of the four CIROP scales, and to provide evidence of construct validity. The CIROP informs research partnerships about the extent of their impact in the areas of Personal Knowledge Development, Personal Research Skill Development, Organizational/Group Access To and Use of Information, and Community and Organizational Development, allowing them to demonstrate accountability to funding bodies. As well, the CIROP can be used as a research tool to assess the effectiveness of knowledge sharing approaches, determine the most influential activities of research partnerships, and determine structural characteristics of partnerships associated with various types of impact. The CIROP provides a better understanding of community members' perspectives and expectations of research partnerships, with important implications for knowledge transfer and uptake.

List of aviation terms
Wikimedia glossary list article
(Redirected from Landing)
The following is a list of terms commonly used in Aviation.
- Air cargo - Cargo that is moved using airplanes. Many companies that move cargo, such as FedEx and the US Postal Service, have their own airplanes for moving air cargo. Most large airports have entire sections of the airport and warehouses for dealing with air cargo.
- Airport - a location where aircraft such as fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and blimps take off and land.
- Arrival area (Arrivals) - The area of the terminal used for airplanes coming to the airport.
- Baggage - luggage and other items brought on the airplane by passengers. One piece of small baggage can often be brought on the airplane by the passenger. Large baggage (or if the is many small pieces) are kept in a special part of the airplane.
- Baggage area - The area of the airport terminal used for dealing with Baggage. These often have one or more large moving belt(s). The passengers wait at the belt for their baggage to move to them.
- Concessions - Businesses often inside the airport terminal. These usually sell food, beverages or retail goods such as book, magazines or souvenirs to passengers.
- Concourse - An open space for people to move around in an airport terminal.
- Departure area (Departures) - The area of the terminal for airplanes leaving the airport.
- Destination - The place an aircraft is going to. An aircraft may have more than one destination. This is because it takes people to many places along its travel. For example, an aircraft leaving Atlanta, may stop at Memphis, Dallas, and Boulder before finally stopping in San Diego. San Diego is its final destination on this travel, but the other cities are also destinations.
- Flight - The noun form of Fly. This is the term for what a person takes when they fly. She took a flight to Atlanta. It can also be used in the name of the trip - She took Flight 213 to Atlanta. If an airport had 500 flights that day, it means airplanes came to and left the airport 500 times that day.
- Domestic flight - A flight that starts and ends in the same country. This is usually between two cities in the same country. For example, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Los Angeles, California.
- International flight - A flight that starts in one county and ends in an other country. For example, from Moscow, Russia to Sydney, Australia.
- Gates - The areas on the concourse where passengers get on to the airplane
- Hangar - a large building which can store airplanes.
- Hub - The central location an airline uses for its operations. Most airlines keep their headquarters and maintenance facilities as at a single airport. Most flights from that airline go through this airport.
- Landing - The act of an airplane returning to the ground.
- Runway - The part of the airport where planes take off or land.
- Take-off - The act of an airplane leaving the ground.
- Terminal - The main building of an airport used by passengers and cargo.
- Tower - The tower in an airport is a building used for air traffic control.
- Aircraft - vehicle used for flying.
- Attack aircraft - A type of military aircraft used mainly to attack targets on the ground.
- Biplane - an aircraft with two sets of wings mounted one above the other.
- Fighter aircraft - A type of military airplane used mainly to fight with other airplanes.
- Fixed-wing aircraft - The type of aircraft commonly thought of by most people. It has wings that do not move. The wings on some fixed wing aircraft can move a small distance but are generally fixed in one position. For example, the wings on an F-14 can be rotated from a forward position (for better control at slow speed and for take off and landing) to a rear position (for better control at high speed). Most airplanes are fixed wing.
- Jet aircraft - Aircraft that use jet engines to make them move.
- Propeller powered aircraft - Aircraft that use propellers to make them move.
- Rotary wing aircraft - Aircraft such as Helicopters.
- Training aircraft - A type of military aircraft used mainly to train pilots.
- Triplane - An aircraft with three sets of wings. German World War I pilot Manfred von Richthofen (The Red Baron) is well known for flying a triplane.
- Water bomber - A type of aircraft used to fight the fire.
