Efforts to provide "reliable energy for all" are making little progress in Africa, a new Afrobarometer analysis shows.
Expansion of the electric grid appears to have stalled in most surveyed countries, and only about four in 10 African households enjoy a reliable supply of electricity, a marginal improvement from survey findings three years previously.
Findings from national surveys in 34 African countries are detailed in Afrobarometer's new Pan-Africa Profile on electricity, released today. The analysis shows that stark differences in access and reliable supply remain between countries, and rural residents and the poor are still at a great disadvantage when it comes to lights and power. This may explain why fewer than half of Africans think their government is doing a good job when it comes to providing a reliable supply of electricity.


text: Mingo Junction is a village in Jefferson County, Ohio, United States, along the Ohio River. The population was 3,631 at the 2000 census. In 1900, its only manufacturing plant was a steel mill owned by Carnegie Steel Company. Past population figures are: 1900, 2,954; 1910, 4,049; 1940, 5,192. Mingo Junction is part of the Weirton–Steubenville, WV-OH Metropolitan Statistical Area. The Mingo Indian tribe once had a settlement at the location of the present day village, which is the source of its name. Originally known as Mingo Bottom, it was the starting point for the ill-fated Crawford expedition against hostile Indians in 1782, during the American Revolutionary War.

The standard method would be something like
foo = bar(foo)
This is not possible in Ruby. You'll have to write
foo = bar(foo).
Another option would be to let
foo be a mutable object. Then
bar could call methods on it to mutate it. For example, if
foo is a String, Hash, or Array,
bar could call
foo.replace to modify the object that
foo refers to.

text: Ammonoid soft tissues are rarely preserved and such findings are of considerable interest. Extremely little is known about the structure of ammonoid siphuncle soft-parts. Until now indisputable fossilized siphuncle soft tissues were known only in a few ammonoid genera. This article describes phosphatized soft tissues inside the siphuncle tubes of the Upper Jurassic (upper Volgian) ammonite Kachpurites fulgens from Central Russia. Cross-sectional views of several Kachpurites siphuncles show a large blood vessel in the center surrounded by four smaller ones. In several specimens, the siphuncle epithelium is preserved. The size and arrangement of the blood vessels in Kachpurites is nearly identical to previously described blood vessels in the siphuncles of Recent Nautilus and the Permian prolecanitid ammonoid Akmilleria electraensis. This similarity indicates a remarkable conservatism of ammonoid siphuncles and provides grounds for the assumption that the last common ancestors of Ammonoidea and Nautilida also had the same structure of the siphuncle soft tissues.

The Enhancing Fieldwork Learning team have been researching and sharing innovative ways to enhance fieldwork teaching and learning through the use of mobile technologies. The arrival of more powerful and affordable smartphones and tablets has meant that most students starting in Higher Education now have access to mobile technologies which could be used to enhance their learning experience.
Ultimately, the EFL project has been promoting the integration of active learning into fieldwork and the technology simply supports educators and students to create novel educational activities. One such opportunity is the collection and sharing of georeferenced data in the field and many mobile apps are now available to support this approach. This leads to the concept of 'citizen science' where students are able to engage with others to crowdsource/share their data to build a larger dataset thereby opening up many research and knowledge generation possibilities.
There are three main motivations for integrating Citizen Science into Higher Education curricula; to provide skills training, to integrate active learning approaches and to increase students' engagement with their learning:
- Skills training –enhancing graduate employability
- Scientific skills: e.g. Sampling strategy & techniques, digital mapping, ID, project design, data management, research skills
- 'Soft skills': e.g. digital literacies, global citizenship, team working, professional online behaviour, (social) media skills, creativity
- Active Learning
- For large class sizes
- For MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses)
- Enquiry-based learning
- Research-led teaching
- Students' engagement in their learning (fun!)
There are many ways in which a citizen science approach can be used to support active learning in Higher Education and the EFL team are currently researching the benefits of this approach and we are looking for case study examples. We will report on our findings here soon. Please see this slideshare presentation for further details.
We would love to hear from you if you are currently involved in a citizen science project and wish to engage with HE or if you are a fieldwork leader and you are considering integrating citizen science into your teaching. Also, please get in touch (by email to _EMAIL_) if you are already doing this as we would love to learn from your experiences.
Active learning = Any instructional method that engages students in the learning process – doing meaningful learning activities & thinking/questioning what they are doing
Citizen Science = the involvement of volunteers (i.e. people who are not involved as part of their employment) in science (Pocock et al., 2014)

12.1 Guidelines for defining packages
 Packages define Properties, Events, Signals, and Statistics.
 Packages may also define new error codes according to the guidelines
 given in section 13.2. This is a matter of documentary convenience:
 the package documentation is submitted to IANA in support of the
 error code registration. If a package is modified, it is unnecessary
 to provide IANA with a new document reference in support of the error
 code unless the description of the error code itself is modified.
 Names of all such defined constructs shall consist of the PackageID
 (which uniquely identifies the package) and the ID of the item (which
 uniquely identifies the item in that package). In the text encoding
 the two shall be separated by a forward slash ("/") character.
 Example: togen/playtone is the text encoding to refer to the play
 tone signal in the tone generation package.
 A Package will contain the following sections:
12.1.1 Package
 Overall description of the package, specifying:
 . Package Name: only descriptive,
 . PackageID: Is an identifier
 . Description:
 . Version: A new version of a package can only add additional
 Properties, Events, Signals, Statistics and new possible values
 for an existing parameter described in the original package. No
 deletions or modifications shall be allowed. A version is an
 integer in the range from 1 to 99.
 . Extends (Optional): A package may extend an existing package. The
 version of the original package must be specified. When a package
 extends another package it shall only add additional Properties,
 Events, Signals, Statistics and new possible values for an
Cuervo, et al. Standards Track [Page 71]
RFC 2885 Megaco Protocol August 2000
 existing parameter described in the original package. An extended
 package shall not redefine or overload a name defined in the
 original package. Hence, if package B version 1 extends package A
 version 1, version 2 of B will not be able to extend the A version
 2 if A version 2 defines a name already in B version 1.
12.1.2 Properties
 Properties defined by the package, specifying:
 . Property Name: only descriptive.
 . PropertyID: Is an identifier
 . Description:
 . Type: One of:
 String: UTF-8 string
 Integer: 4 byte signed integer
 Double: 8 byte signed integer
 Character: Unicode UTF-8 encoding of a single letter.
 Could be more than one octet.
 Enumeration: One of a list of possible unique values (See 12.3)
 Sub-list: A list of several values from a list
 Boolean
 . Possible Values:
 . Defined in: Which H.248 descriptor the property is defined in.
 LocalControl is for stream dependent properties. TerminationState
 is for stream independent properties.
 . Characteristics: Read / Write or both, and (optionally), global:
 Indicates whether a property is read-only, or read-write, and if
 it is global. If Global is omitted, the property is not global.
 If a property is declared as global, the value of the property is
 shared by all terminations realizing the package.
12.1.3 Events
 Events defined by the package, specifying:
 . Event name: only descriptive.
 . EventID: Is an identifier
 . Description:
 . EventsDescriptor Parameters: Parameters used by the MGC to
 configure the event, and found in the EventsDescriptor. See
 section 12.2.
Cuervo, et al. Standards Track [Page 72]
RFC 2885 Megaco Protocol August 2000
 . ObservedEventsDescriptor Parameters: Parameters returned to the
 MGC in Notify requests and in replies to command requests from
 the MGC that audit ObservedEventsDescriptor, and found in the
 ObservedEventsDescriptor. See section 12.2.
12.1.4 Signals
 . Signals defined by the package, specifying:
 . Signal Name: only descriptive.
 . SignalID: Is an identifier. SignalID is used in a
 SignalsDescriptor
 . Description
 . SignalType: One of:
 - OO (On/Off)
 - TO (TimeOut)
 - BR (Brief)
 Note - SignalType may be defined such that it is dependent on the
 value of one or more parameters. Signals that would be played with
 SignalType BR should have a default duration. The package has to
 define the default duration and signalType.
 . Duration: in hundredths of seconds
 . Additional Parameters: See section 12.2
12.1.5 Statistics
 Statistics defined by the package, specifying:
 . Statistic name: only descriptive.
 . StatisticID: Is an identifier. StatisticID is used in a
 StatisticsDescriptor.
 . Description
 . Units: unit of measure, e.g. milliseconds, packets.
12.1.6 Procedures
 Additional guidance on the use of the package.
12.2 Guidelines to defining Properties, Statistics and Parameters to
 Events and Signals.
 . Parameter Name: only descriptive
 . ParameterID: Is an identifier
 . Type: One of:
 String: UTF-8 octet string
 Integer: 4 octet signed integer
 Double: 8 octet signed integer
Cuervo, et al. Standards Track [Page 73]
RFC 2885 Megaco Protocol August 2000
 Character: Unicode UTF-8 encoding of a single letter. Could be
 more than one octet.
 Enumeration: One of a list of possible unique values (See 12.3)
 Sub-list: A list of several values from a list
 Boolean
 . Possible values:
 . Description:
12.3 Lists
 Possible values for parameters include enumerations. Enumerations
 may be defined in a list. It is recommended that the list be IANA
 registered so that packages that extend the list can be defined
 without concern for conflicting names.
12.4 Identifiers
 Identifiers in text encoding shall be strings of up to 64 characters,
 containing no spaces, starting with an alphanumeric character and
 consisting of alphanumeric characters and / or digits, and possibly
 including the special character underscore ("_").
 Identifiers in binary encoding are 2 octets long.
 Both text and binary values shall be specified for each identifier,
 including identifiers used as values in enumerated types.
12.5 Package Registration
 A package can be registered with IANA for interoperability reasons.
 See section 13 for IANA considerations.
13. IANA CONSIDERATIONS
13.1 Packages
 The following considerations SHALL be met to register a package with
 IANA:
 1. A unique string name, unique serial number and version number is
 registered for each package. The string name is used with text

 2. A contact name, email and postal addresses for that contact shall
 be specified. The contact information shall be updated by the
 defining organization as necessary.
 3. A reference to a document that describes the package, which should
 be public:
 The document shall specify the version of the Package that it
 describes.
 If the document is public, it should be located on a public web
 server and should have a stable URL. The site should provide a
 mechanism to provide comments and appropriate responses should be
 returned.
 4. Packages registered by other than recognized standards bodies
 shall have a minimum package name length of 8 characters.
 5. All other package names are first come-first served if all other
 conditions are met

In Reply to: You can't get blood out of a turnip posted by Rich Sue Woodruff on January 06, 2007
: Could this phrase come from the story in the Bible about Cain and Abel in Genesis 4? "Abel kept flocks (a shepherd/rancher), and Cain worked the soil (a farmer). In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. But Abel brought fat portions from from some of the firstborn of his flock (a meat offering requiring bloodshed). The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor." (NIV)
: In the Old Testament God required a blood offering for sin. Hence, you can't get blood out of a turnip.
YOU CAN'T GET BLOOD OUT OF A STONE - "The stone here is a metaphor for a person who simply does not have (or would never give up) what is being sought - usually money. Over the centuries, various objects, such as a stone, a turnip, and even a wall, have been used in versions of the saying. The earliest known rendering, which appeared in John Lydgate's 'Minor Poems' (c 1435), mentioned marble - 'Harde to likke hony (honey) out of a marbil stoon.'.Charles Dickens first rendered the saying as 'Blood cannot be obtained from a stone,' in 'David Copperfield' and then recorded the exact wording of the modern version in 'Our Mutual Friend'." From "Wise Words and Wives' Tales: The Origins, Meanings and Time-Honored Wisdom of Proverbs and Folk Sayings Olde and New" by Stuart Flexner and Doris Flexner (Avon Books, New York, 1993).
Another reference says "blood from a turnip" was used by Frederick Marryat, "apparently borrowing an expression from folklore," in "Japhet in Search of a Father" in 1836: There's no getting blood out of a turnip." "The Dictionary of Cliches" by James Rogers (Wings Books, Originally New York: Facts on File Publications, 1985). Page 28.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department says stocked arctic grayling are already 11 to 14 inches.
From Wyoming Game and Fish Department
GREEN RIVER--The Wyoming Game and Fish Department recently stocked Arctic grayling in southwest Wyoming, providing anglers an opportunity to catch this unique fish.
Artic grayling were stocked in Kemmerer Community Pond, Lower UP Ice Pond near Evanston, Rock Springs Pond, Mountain View Pond, Sweetwater Kids Pond in Jamestown, and Murray Reservoir, southwest of Mountain View.
"This is a great opportunity for anglers to catch a unique fish and we were excited to stock them into waters, not only in Pinedale, but across the state, just in time for free fishing day and many kid fishing events," said Guy Campbell, WGFD Assistant Fish Culture Supervisor. "These fish are already 11 to 14 inches in size, so anglers can easily catch them on spinners, baits, and small flies."
These Arctic grayling were transplanted from Meadow Lake outside of Pinedale, a water that Game and Fish uses to maintain its wild brood population. Pinedale Fisheries Biologist Darren Rhea has been monitoring the grayling population for several years.
"We are trying to maintain the Meadow Lake grayling population around 7,000 fish," said Rhea. "Over the last few years, the population has doubled in size. The population needed to be reduced, which provided an opportunity to transplant 11 to 14 inch grayling to several waters throughout the state. Because this brood stock and water source is certified pathogen-free, similar to our hatcheries, we were able to transplant these adult fish in community fisheries across the state," added Campbell. "Anglers now have more diverse fishing opportunities in communities across the state."

The aim of this study was to determine the evacuation of sand from the equine intestine after a double treatment with psyllium and mineral oil or mineral oil only. A crossover study was conducted. Twelve healthy horses were fed 1 kg sand once a day for 5 days. Subsequently, these horses were divided into two groups: A and B. From day 6-10, both groups were treated with 2 l of mineral oil once a day and group B received an additional 0.5 kg of psyllium twice a day. The trial was repeated after 2 weeks with treatment crossover of groups A and B. The horses were housed sand free and 1.8 kg hay/100 kg body weight was offered to meet the maintenance energy requirement. Prior to the sand administration, faeces were collected from each horse for 3 days and the crude ash was determined to establish a baseline output of ash. There was no difference between the baseline crude ash output of the first and second treatment. From day 6-10, faeces were collected daily and the fresh weight and the dry matter and the crude ash contents were determined. For administration, sand or psyllium was mixed with 1 l of Irish mash (concentrate mixed with water), respectively, and mineral oil was administered via a nasogastric tube. All horses showed higher crude ash excretion when treated with psyllium and mineral oil compared with the mineral oil administration only. On the second, third and fourth day of the treatment, the difference was significant. Faeces crude ash weight corrected for baseline crude ash output while treated with psyllium plus oil and oil solely, reached a mean of 51.0 (SD 20.5) and 26.1 (SD 17.7) % of the administered sand mass, respectively. The results of this trial show that the ash output differed highly between the horses. Nevertheless, all horses showed a higher total ash output within the 5 days treatment period when the psyllium semen and mineral oil were used for the treatment than when treated with mineral oil solely.

Estimating the Length of Everyday Objects (Inquiry Based) A gold star indicates high-quality, inquiry-based activities that follow the PhET design guidelines.
Tittel Estimating the Length of Everyday Objects (Inquiry Based)
Omtale Students will use the estimation simulation to improve their ability to estimate the length of classroom objects using metric and US standard units. Learning Goals: Students will be able to estimate the size of ordinary classroom objects in inches, feet, centimeters, and meters. They will also be able to calculate accuracy. [This year my students did not have computers yet when we did the activity. So instead of having each student do the activity at their own computer, we did it as a class activity. I projected the simulation and had them write down their guess as to how many line segments (or other shapes) could fit into the bigger one. They then shared their answers. They found it really fun, and it was a great way to make students become comfortable with participating in class. Even the shyest students were participating by the end. I think I'll do it this way again next year and add "participate in class discussions" as a learning goal.]

Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2
The User-Name RADIUS attribute is a character string that typically contains a user account location and a user account name. The user account location is also called the realm or realm name, and is synonymous with the concept of domain, including DNS domains, Active Directory® domains, and Windows NT 4.0 domains. For example, if a user account is located in the user accounts database for a domain named example.com, then example.com is the realm name.
In another example, if the User-Name RADIUS attribute contains the user name _EMAIL_, user1 is the user account name and example.com is the realm name. Realm names can be presented in the user name as a prefix or as a suffix:
Example\user1. In this example, the realm name Example is a prefix; and it is also the name of a Windows NT 4.0 domain.
_EMAIL_. In this example, the realm name example.com is a suffix; and it is either a DNS domain name or the name of an Active Directory domain.
You can use realm names configured in connection request policies while designing and deploying your RADIUS infrastructure to ensure that connection requests are routed from RADIUS clients, also called network access servers, to RADIUS servers that can authenticate and authorize the connection request.
When NPS is configured as a RADIUS server with the default connection request policy, NPS processes connection requests for the domain in which the NPS server is a member and for trusted domains.
To configure NPS to act as a RADIUS proxy and forward connection requests to untrusted domains, you must create a new connection request policy. In the new connection request policy, you must configure the User Name attribute with the realm name that will be contained in the User-Name attribute of connection requests that you want to forward. You must also configure the connection request policy with a remote RADIUS server group. The connection request policy allows NPS to calculate which connection requests to forward to the remote RADIUS server group based on the realm portion of the User-Name attribute.
Acquiring the realm name
The realm name portion of the user name is provided when the user types password-based credentials during a connection attempt or when a Connection Manager (CM) profile on the user's computer is configured to provide the realm name automatically.
You can designate that users of your network provide their realm name when typing their credentials during network connection attempts.
For example, you can require users to type their user name, including the user account name and the realm name, in User name in the Connect dialog box when making a dial-up or virtual private network (VPN) connection.
In addition, if you create a custom dialing package with the Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK), you can assist users by adding the realm name automatically to the user account name in CM profiles that are installed on users' computers. For example, you can specify a realm name and user name syntax in the CM profile so that the user only has to specify the user account name when typing credentials. In this circumstance, the user does not need to know or remember the domain where their user account is located.
During the authentication process, after users type their password-based credentials, the user name is passed from the access client to the network access server. The network access server constructs a connection request and includes the realm name within the User-Name RADIUS attribute in the Access-Request message that is sent to the RADIUS proxy or server.
If the RADIUS server is an NPS server, the Access-Request message is evaluated against the set of configured connection request policies. Conditions on the connection request policy can include the specification of the contents of the User-Name attribute.
You can configure a set of connection request policies that are specific to the realm name within the User-Name attribute of incoming messages. This allows you to create routing rules that forward RADIUS messages with a specific realm name to a specific set of RADIUS servers when NPS is used as a RADIUS proxy.
Attribute manipulation rules
Before the RADIUS message is either processed locally (when NPS is being used as a RADIUS server) or forwarded to another RADIUS server (when NPS is being used as a RADIUS proxy), the User-Name attribute in the message can be modified by attribute manipulation rules. You can configure attribute manipulation rules for the User-Name attribute by selecting User name on the Conditions tab in the properties of a connection request policy. NPS attribute manipulation rules use regular expression syntax.
You can configure attribute manipulation rules for the User-Name attribute to change the following:
Remove the realm name from the user name (also known as realm stripping).
For example, the user name _EMAIL_ is changed to user1.
Change the realm name but not its syntax.
For example, the user name _EMAIL_ is changed to _EMAIL_.
Change the syntax of the realm name.
For example, the user name example\user1 is changed to _EMAIL_.
After the User-Name attribute is modified according to the attribute manipulation rules that you configure, additional settings of the first matching connection request policy are used to determine whether:
The NPS server processes the Access-Request message locally (when NPS is being used as a RADIUS server).
The NPS server forwards the message to another RADIUS server (when NPS is being used as a RADIUS proxy).
|Incorrectly editing the registry can severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on the computer.|
|When the user name does not contain a domain name, NPS supplies one. By default, the NPS-supplied domain name is the domain of which the NPS server is a member. You can specify the NPS-supplied domain name through the following registry setting:|
Some non-Microsoft network access servers delete or modify the domain name as specified by the user. As the result, the network access request is authenticated against the default domain, which might not be the domain for the user's account. To resolve this problem, configure your RADIUS servers to change the user name into the correct format with the accurate domain name.

Today I tried shortening an if statement like this:
if (fruit == "apple" || type == "pear" || type == "orange"){
to this:
if (fruit in ["apple", "pear", "orange"]){
It doesn't work. Jonathan Snook has a different solution here where he essentially uses a map like this, which does work:
if(fruit in {"apple":"", "pear":"", "orange":""}){
Why does that work and my simple array doesn't, when usually in Javascript an object's presence makes that object return true? Is a string a different type of object than a key? I thought the string's presence in my array would return true as well.
y = "Stackoverflow";
y && console.log('y is true') // y returns true, so console logs the message
I interpreted my original solution as "if the value of variable fruit is in this array." That's clearly not the case. Does it instead say "if the variable fruit itself is in this array?" No, because this doesn't work either:
if (fruit in [fruit, "apple", "pear", "orange"]){
So what is Snook's version with the key=>value map asking that's correct? My best guess is, "if a key under the name of the value of variable fruit in this map returns true?"

x in y returns true if the object y has a property with name x (so yes, your guess is correct).
Arrays are objects too. The properties of an array are the indexes, which are numerical. This works:
if(0 in ["apple", "pear", "orange"])
because the array has an element at index 0. This array is similar (but not the same!) to this object:
{0: "apple", 1: "pear", 2:"orange"}
(of course an array has further properties like length, push, slice, etc)
In your object example ({"apple":"", "pear":"", "orange":""}), apple, pear etc. are the properties of the object, not the values of properties.
How to find out whether an element is contained in an array is described in array.contains(obj) in JavaScript.
†: Strictly speaking, every property is a string, so even if you use numbers (as it is the case with arrays), they are converted to strings.

Right, but I'm trying to check the value of a variable against the strings in the array. Your statement will always be true, but fruit might not be apple, pear, or orange. – Artur Sapek Aug 28 '11 at 21:43
I don't get your point. You wanted to know why it does not work and I answered that. You can replace 0 with 5 and it will return false. – Felix Kling Aug 28 '11 at 21:46
Yeah I get it, I thought you were suggesting your code as an alternative to mine, but I see now you were just making a point. Thanks – Artur Sapek Aug 28 '11 at 21:47
Ah ok, no, I did not suggest this as alternative (you did not ask for it ;)) And if you did, I'm pretty sure it was already asked. – Felix Kling Aug 28 '11 at 21:49
Yeah I know about indexOf. Thank you for your time. The array to map comparison helped me understand – Artur Sapek Aug 28 '11 at 21:52

To check if a value is within an array, use indexOf:
if (["apple", "pear", "orange"].indexOf(fruit)!= -1){
Note: IE < 9 does not support indexOf on arrays, but you can add support easily.

That's a good strategy, but you meant indexOf(fruit), instead of indexOf('fruit') didn't you? – Artur Sapek Aug 28 '11 at 21:45

"March of the Penguins" Movie Review
About.com Rating 5 Star Rating
MPAA Rating: G
Genre: Documentary
Runtime: 80 minutes
"March of the Penguins" Plot Summary:
Presented by Warner Independent Pictures and National Geographic Feature Films, the independent film "March of the Penguins" won enough acclaim from moviegoers to crossover to mainstream theaters. The film was directed by French filmmaker Luc Jacquet, and his powerful documentary has touched the hearts of audiences all over the world. For good reason, the film has become especially popular with children and families.
Morgan Freeman narrates this real-life story about the Emperor Penguin's journey to create and sustain new life. The cameras follow the arduous trek the penguins make to their breeding grounds each year (as far as 70 miles) in order to find a mate and create a child. Enduring exhausting travel, starvation, and danger from predators, the male and female take turns guarding the egg and baby chick for a period of several months. The film beautifully captures the funny, sad, scary, and endearing moments that occur in the remote Arctic, where we would never otherwise be able to travel.
Note to Parents on "March of the Penguins":
The narration of the documentary is as much a work of art as the story itself. Especially good for children, the prose of the documentary generally employs phrases like, "fade away" and "disappear" in place of harsher phrases regarding death. The narrator also points out specific examples of the penguins' devotion to their children, and the bond that is created between mother, father, and child.
The film does contain some scenes that may be disturbing to children, though. As in real life, the endings are not always happy. Some penguin chicks die despite the parents' best efforts to protect them. Also, moments of peril are briefly shown which may scare children. When I saw the movie, I could hear a few children in the theater begging predators to leave the penguins alone.
The subtitle of the film, "Love Finds a Way," characterizes the approach taken in telling this amazing story. The photographers capture tender moments between penguin parents and their offspring that are so beautiful and full of emotion, it is hard to believe they are real. This stunning documentary provides a rare opportunity for children and adults alike to learn about these amazing creatures, and it is impossible not to fall in love with them.
"March of the Penguins" Content Overview:
The following lists some of the most prominent examples of possibly offensive content in the movie:
Violence (Medium)
-A seal grabs a mother penguin in its jaws and swims away.
-A predator bird is shown biting at baby penguins.
-A mother penguin's baby dies, and she tries to steal another penguin's chick.
Sex/Nudity (Very Low)
-Two penguins are shown mating, but younger children will not be able to tell anything is going on.
Profanity (None)
Alcohol/Drugs (None)
Bad/Disrespectful Behavior (None)
Scary Scenes (Medium)
-The scenes involving predators may be scary or disturbing to young children.
Sad/Distressing Scenes (Medium)
-Some penguins' eggs freeze and don't survive.
-One frozen baby chick is shown briefly.
-A mother penguin pecks at her lifeless baby, and the narrator talks about her sorrow.
Discuss "March of the Penguins" with Your Family:
 - The penguin parents endure many hardships and make difficult sacrifices for their chicks. Why do they make these sacrifices? Do human parents make sacrifices for their children? Why is the film subtitled "Love Finds a Way"?
 - What lessons can we learn from the penguins' perseverance?
 - What was it like for the filmmakers and crew to document the penguins' trek in Antarctica?
 - After watching the movie, children may have questions about animals mating, death, predators, or animals' feelings.

How Do You Divide Water Lilies?
Cindy – Galesburg, IL
Dividing lilies may seem somewhat complicated, but our step-by-step process will explain exactly what you need to do. Try to plan it so you divide them during your spring cleanout, which would give easy access to tubers. Dividing is necessary every two to three years, and it is helpful if you notice the lily grew mostly pads and few lilies over the past season.
Step 1: Remove lilies from pond or container and rinse off. Plant baskets are ideal containers until they are ready to be moved to the pond.
Step 2: Trim away root growth and old foliage.
Step 3: Cut the tuber down to size. You can safely cut the tuber down between two to three inches on the growing part with a sharp knife. This can be increased to five to six inches on longer plants. Remember to also cut off new buds and older leaves, so that the new root system has a chance to grow.
Step 4: Plant each tuber separately or discard if you wish to reduce the lilies' quantity in your pond. Use plant fertilizer and planting media for best results and a continuing healthy pond.
Step 5: Replant them shallow in the pond until new growth begins.
Step 6: Upon new growth lilies can be moved deeper into the pond.

5 Ways to Prepare Your Home for Winter in Maine
Winter season is upon us. Temperatures are steadily dropping, days are shortening and nights are growing longer. Winter is a remarkable time in Maine. However, without proper preparations, it can be cruel. From winter storms to freezing rain to snow to sleet and so much more…
Here are 5 ways to adequately prepare your home for winter in Maine.
 1. Prevent frozen pipes
All pipes in your home are highly susceptible to freezing in extremely cold weather. Therefore, insulate your water lines with insulation specifically designed for plumbing, to protect your water pipes from getting frozen overnight. Similarly, disconnect any outdoor hoses and drains and completely close all outdoor faucets.
Although, if your pipes get frozen, make sure there is someone who knows how to completely stop water flow to prevent further damage to your home. Contact your plumber or insurance immediately for further information on how to proceed. Be cautious of potential electric shocks in and around standing water.
 1. Thoroughly clean drains and gutters
Blocked drains and gutters are harmful to your home's roofing system due to the possible leaks. As such, it is always helpful to sweep away all the leaves, dirt and twigs from your drainage system as well as your roof. Likewise, pour water through the downspouts to ascertain they are in good working conditions.
 1. Weather-strip your windows and doors
A lot of heat in your home is lost through the cracks and gaps around your doors and windows. Check your home for drafts by holding a lit candle along your doors and windows. If the flame flickers, then you have a draft. Add weather stripping to such doors and windows to seal air leaks in your home.
 1. Ensure your heating system is up and running
Before the winter season begins, it is always best to ensure your heating system is working in optimum conditions. Similarly, schedule a mid-season check-up with your licensed plumber to ensure it continues to work efficiently, minimizes the risk of it emitting deadly carbon monoxide fumes, and saves you money in the long run.
 1. Prepare your lawn
Most lawns are often neglected during winter. For a healthy lawn, ensure your grass is regularly mowed until when it cannot grow anymore. Rake the leaves in your compound as well as the grass clippings to provide the maximum sun exposure of the grass. Also, remember to mulch around your plants and trees to guard them against freezing and exposure to harsh weather.
'Prevention is better than cure.' Take the time to implement these five steps and protect your home from the winter storms, cold rain, snow, sleet, and many other dangerous weather conditions. You will be saving yourself a whole lot of trouble as well as hard-earned money.

Is Pink Turkey Meat Safe?|
| The color pink in cooked
turkey meat raises a "red flag" to many diners and cooks. Conditioned
to be wary of cooked fresh pork that looks pink, they question
the safety of cooked poultry and other meats that have a rosy
Numerous callers to the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline report
being alarmed when seeing "pink." To them, it means "unsafe"
"I cooked my turkey until done according to the directions,
but when I sliced the breast meat, it was still pink near the
bone," said an Oklahoma caller. "Is it safe?"
"We had a big family argument at Thanksgiving dinner. Aunt
Mildred wouldn't eat the turkey because it looked pink," reported
the beleaguered cook from a Wisconsin family.
The color of cooked poultry is not always a sure sign of its
safety. Only by using a food thermometer can one accurately
determine that poultry has reached a safe minimum internal temperature
of 165 °F throughout the product. Turkey can remain pink
even after cooking to a safe minimum internal temperature of 165
°F. The meat of smoked turkey is always pink.
To understand some of the causes of "pinking" or "pinkening"
in fresh turkey, it's important to know first what gives
meat its natural color.
Why is Poultry Lighter in Color Than Beef?
The protein myoglobin is the major pigment found in
all vertebrates and can exist in various forms which determine
the resulting meat color. The major reason that poultry meat
is much lighter in color than beef is that it is dramatically
lower in myoglobin. Also, as an animal becomes older, its myoglobin
content usually increases. Turkeys today are young — 4
to 5 months old at the time of slaughter.
Why Are White & Dark Meat of Poultry Different
The pink, red or white coloration of meat is due primarily to
oxygen-storing myoglobin which is located in the muscle cells
and retains the oxygen brought by the blood until the cells
need it. To some extent, oxygen use can be related to the bird's
general level of activity: muscles that are exercised frequently
and strenuously — such as the legs — need more oxygen,
and they have a greater storage capacity than muscles needing
little oxygen. Turkeys do a lot of standing around, but little
if any flying, so their wing and breast muscles are white; their
What Causes Well-Done Meat to Be Pink?
- Chemical Changes During Cooking.
Scientists have found that pinkness occurs when gases in
the atmosphere of a heated gas or electric oven react chemically
with hemoglobin in the meat tissues to give poultry a pink
tinge. They are the same substances that give red color
to smoked hams and other cured meats.
The presence of high levels of myoglobin, or some of its
redder forms due to incomplete denaturation during heat
processing, can account for poultry having a pink to red
color similar to that of an undercooked product.
- Natural Presence of Nitrites.
Nitrites are commonly used to produce a desired pink color
in traditionally cured meats such as ham or bologna. So
it follows that the natural presence of nitrates and nitrites,
either in the feed or water supply, used in the production
of poultry are a factor in nitrite levels in the birds.
One study found that during 40 hours of storage at 40 °F,
naturally occurring microorganisms converted nitrate to
nitrite. It also found that the local water supply had nitrate
and, thus, it could serve as a nitrate source during processing.
- Young Age of Meat.
Often meat of younger birds shows the most pink because
their thinner skins permit oven gases to reach the flesh.
The amount of fat in the skin also affects the amount of
pink color. Young birds or animals also lack the shield
of a fat covering.
Meat and poultry grilled or smoked outdoors can also look
pink, even when cooked to 165 °F. There may be a pink-colored rim
about one-half inch wide around the outside of the cooked
meat. The meat of commercially smoked turkeys is usually
pink because it is prepared with natural smoke and liquid

Alocasia odora x Alocasia reginula
This Alocasia hybrid is one of our 2007 successes, and also one of the ones we thought most improbable. Alocasia odora and Alocasia reginula couldn't be more different morphologically, and yet we were still able to obtain seven viable seeds from this cross. Having succeeded with this combination, we are encouraged that we can develop what I consider to be a "Holy Grail" of Alocasia hybridization, and that is the hybrid involving A. nebula 'Imperialis' and A. odora.
These plants are not full grown, but the leaf texture is already thicker than that of leaves on A. odora.
Above can be seen three of the seedlings from this cross. Note the differing leaf shapes and textures obtained.

For our Capstone design project, we will be working with the Space Grant Consortium on the PolarCube satellite project. This is a 3U CubeSat satellite that uses an existing bus design and a passive microwave radiometer to take temperature measurements for use in weather prediction and climate modeling. The raw data that is collected can also be used for detecting features such as sea ice fraction and snow coverage. In addition to designing a system that can collect this data, another main goal of the project is to implement the satellite in a way that can be used as a model for the development of a new generation of weather satellites. Current orbiting microwave sensors are large and expensive, and the PolarCube will be a prototype in the way it improves upon these characteristics. The PolarCube is small, inexpensive, and consumes a very low amount of power while still maintaining a high spatial resolutions and accurate measurements.
The satellite will provide atmosphere temperature profile measurements related to sea ice, or ice-free ocean detection and mapping. To measure the temperature at different altitudes, the satellite will detect the radiation due to the oscillation of the oxygen molecules in the atmosphere. To detect the temperature at different altitudes, the satellite observes the energy at _PHONE_ GHz (the center frequency of oscillation) as well as channels slightly above and below that frequency which correspond to different elevations. The satellite will scan in two main modes: cross-track scanning (the default mode), and along-track scanning. For cross-track scanning the spacecraft rotation vector is parallel to its velocity. For along-track scanning, the rotation vector is horizontal and orthogonal to its velocity. The along-track scanning mode allows for more detailed elevation measurements when the environment is relatively homogeneous. After data is obtained from the satellite, data analysis by statistical inversion will be done to determine the atmosphere vertical temperature structure coincident with sea ice fraction. The merit in this project is that this is the first observation of the _PHONE_ GHz O2 resonance from space. On a global basis, the project will advance microwave spectroscopy and extend what has been observed on atmospheric resolution to global scales. It aims to improve spatial resolution of microwave temperature in space borne sounding sensor by a factor over 3.
The major electronic components on the satellite that we will be designing and implementing are the microwave receiver, antenna for ground communication, and a microcontroller for framing and sending of data. The goal is to shrink a previous satellite bus to make a cheaper, lighter, and smaller satellite for measuring temperature at various atmospheric levels. These various levels will be detected using 8 channels centered around _PHONE_ GHz, the resonant frequency of O2. The team working on the project is comprised of a number of different disciplines, including aerospace, mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering, as well as computer science. The particular tasks which our capstone team aims to complete relate specifically to instrumentation on the satellite, namely the radiometry. Technical challenges that we expect to face include: implementing various filters to constrain received signals to the appropriate spectra of interest, writing low-level software to interface with the architecture of satellite communication systems to downlink data, and tasks related to the calibration of the radiometry in the satellite based on scanning mode and orientation. We will also deal with physical size constraints and challenges introduced by the act of orbiting such as radiation and extreme temperatures.

Slashing protection
Teku implements slashing protection to prevent validators from signing incorrect blocks or attestations.
You can import and export the slashing protection file when migrating validator keys between validator clients. Teku supports the validator client interchange format when importing or exporting the slashing protection file.
note
If using an external signer that implements its own slashing protection (for example Web3Signer), then you can disable Teku's built-in slashing protection using the --validators-external-signer-slashing-protection-enabled command line option.
tip
You can also enable doppelganger detection to help prevent slashing. This is an early access feature.
Import a slashing protection file
When importing the slashing protection file, Teku imports the file to the <data-path>/validators/slashprotection/ directory in the format <validator-pubkey>.yml (with no 0x prefix).
Example
teku slashing-protection import --data-path=/home/me/me_node --from=/home/slash/slashing-interchange-format.json
In the command line:
 - --data-path specifies the location of the Teku data directory.
 - --from specifies the location of the slashing protection file.
In this example, Teku imports the file to the /home/me/me_node/data/validators/slashprotection/ directory.
Export a slashing protection file
Export the slashing protection file when migrating a validator to a different Teku, or non-Teku node.
Example
teku slashing-protection export --data-path=/home/me/me_node --to=/home/slash/slashing-interchange-format-minimal.json
In the command line:
 - --data-path specifies the location of the Teku data directory.
 - --to specifies the file to export the slashing protection data to.
You can now import the slashing protection file in a Teku, or non-Teku node.


Scientific Method / Science & Exploration
Watch funny GIFs all day, for science!
Does a GIF's emotional variance impact how it's received?
Researchers at MIT are analyzing animated GIFs in an attempt to catalog what they believe to be a unique, Internet-based emotional vocabulary.
An animated GIF—these days often presented in the form of a "reaction GIF"—can make us laugh, but it can also help convey various other complex emotions, including anger, contempt, guilt, or even empathy in an environment that is frequently dominated by text. The advantage of communicating with GIFs, claim the authors of this research, is they can quickly and easily add context in a subtle way that text or emoticons cannot.
"When you are sent a reaction GIF, it takes only a few seconds for you to 'get it'," explains Rich. "GIFs convey emotions quickly and powerfully. GIFs are sent around on e-mail chains, included in news articles, and are at the core of huge Internet cultures. They are used to express every range of experience, from the joy of the perfect burrito to the heartache of a devastating breakup. So long as we say that language is the meaningful communication of information, GIFs are the alphabet of Internet culture.
"Maybe most importantly, GIFs bring an enhanced ability to empathize. Empathy is deeply lacking in many Internet cultures (as evidenced by the existence of hideous YouTube comments, for instance). GIFs trigger those primal mirror neurons that remind us there is a human on the other side of the connection."
There are currently more than 1,024 GIFs on the website, which might seem like a small number, but according to their website, they would rather have "1,000 well-characterized GIFs than 1,000,000 GIFs with only a single vote each." More images will be added automatically once enough votes have been collected to accurately sort the existing GIFs.
GIFGIF relies on Giphy's API to source their images, but choosing the emotions was a greater challenge, which the researchers explain on their website: "Emotions are tricky—and by no means a trivial (or even possible) thing to quantify. We seek to use emoticons that represent a 'core' or 'basic' emotion so we can understand the atomistic elements of what a gif is conveying... these are by no means definitive, correct, or absolute, but our goal is to make a GIF website—not solve the open questions of universal human emotions."
But what to do with all this data? Some fun ideas include converting a piece of text to GIFs, mapping an image (say, from a webcam) into a GIF, or even automatically parsing the emotion state of movies over time. A teacher of ESL (English as a Second Language) has even been using GIFGIF to teach at an art university in the US. The students are currently learning vocabulary for emotions, and their website makes visualizing the emotions alongside the text a breeze.
"Our more neuroscience-oriented friends have expressed interest in using this data for applications such as autism detection," Hu told "For example, in a clinical setting, by detecting when a user's submission deviates strongly from a stabilized, well-agreed upon result, we may be able to infer their inability to properly read other social interactions." Who knew these often silly and poorly looped images could have the potential to do so much good.

British artist Benjamin Shine creates textured "paintings" by carefully folding and ironing one giant sheet of tulle fabric. His subjects range from portraits of iconic stars like Elizabeth Taylor to realistic renditions of elderly hands and beautifully abstract faces emerging from the flowing netted material.
Shine says, "The idea of 'painting with fabric' led to the development of this technique where the portrait image is created through the intricate pleating and pressing of a single length of tulle fabric. The technique aims to utilize the translucent qualities of the tulle fabric to generate various gradients, tones and textures."
The naturally semitransparent mesh is layered upon itself to succeed in simulating varying shades. The result is an amazing monochromatic image rich with texture. For some of his more abstract work known as Flows, Shine says, "[They] take their compositional cues from the fabric itself to reveal the inherent qualities of motion, fragility and transience."

Advanced Rudder Stroke Techniques
The cross bow rudder strokes are similar to the bow rudder strokes. Yet, there is a slight difference. The bow passenger performs this act on the opposite side in which he normally paddles the kayak. The cross bow rudder stroke unlike the bow rudder stroke does not give you the time to switch hands. During this action you must rotate or swivel your body. While in position prepare to swivel your body around toward the opposite direction, and then cross the bow.
At the same time you want to scoop the blade downward toward the water. To avoid ensnaring your hand between the gunwale and blade, make sure you bring the lower hand up, and place it on the shank (shaft) a few inches. Keep the paddle gripped near the armpit (left) and make sure the paddle's blade dips into the water at a 40 degree angle.
Tip: You can use the sweep strokes at a 90-degree angle and reach the same affect you would get from the cross bow rudder method. Sweep strokes are commonly used by kayakers and canoeists to turn the boat slightly without interrupted the direction.
How sweep strokes work? You have choice. The first choice is to push over the bow. The second choice is to drive the kayak forward. The third method is to pull the stern toward the paddle.
How do other types of kayaking strokes work? Well, it depends on the stroke in which many are employed in kayaking. For instance, the stern rudder stroke is similar to the bow rudder strokes. The bow rudder is the process where the bow passenger uses his paddles to steer the boat in the course which he is paddling the kayak. The stern stroke is often utilized when the stern passenger cannot use the J-stroke method to redirect his kayak. Sometimes the direction the kayak is headed needs readjustment, thus the kayaker will employ the stern stroke to redirect the boat. Unlike the bow rudder stroke the person paddling the kayak will reverse his sweep and take a 120-degree angled turn rather than a 40-degree turn.
Tip: If you need to make an immediate turn while kayaking the bow rudder strokes is ideal, yet a draw stroke would be more beneficial if you spotted a obstacle in the waters that could cause damage. The bow rudder strokes will slow the kayak.
Kayaks are sport canoes, which are often lightweight and made of fiberglass. The boats are utilized in whitewater rafting, leisure, and often in competitive sports. The older models were made of animal skin, which *Inuit boats held one or two passengers, which both would use double-blade paddles to control the kayak. Sometimes people use kayaks to travel or race.
Facts: *Inuit is Artic people, or people from Greenland. The members of these lands lived in coastal areas of the Artic, Greenland, and Canada. The languages of Inuit descendants constituted languages of three branches. The branches included the Eskimo Aleut family.
Canoeing has dated back for centuries, which the kayak is a form of canoe. Today, people are enjoying whitewater kayaking, traveling, cruising, and more. In fact, the Internet has posted many sites that offer vacations that include whitewater kayaking. Kayaks are far more dangerous than canoes, since kayaks have closed seating arrangements, which you are often strapped in with knee and thigh straps. If you capsize (flip) the kayak, you had better learn steps to take to save your life.

Active and reactive power control using smart inverters (SI) is highly effective in mitigating voltage rise in distribution systems, which is caused by the high penetration of photovoltaic (PV) power generation. However, the voltage control performance depends on the SI settings. We propose a new approach that uniquely determines the parameter settings for volt-VAR-watt control based on the active and reactive power-voltage sensitivity matrix of SIs. Because the voltage sensitivity matrix is calculated based solely on the impedance of the distribution system and it does not vary with time or the number of SIs, the proposed method can determine the individual SI parameter settings theoretically and efficiently without the need for optimization problem formulation, power flow calculation, or communication between the SIs. To evaluate the proposed method, the voltage control performance in a real distribution system model with a large number of PV installations is compared with that of volt-VAR-watt control using default parameters and optimized parameters in case that the load demand and PV generation are given in advance. The results show that the proposed method achieves better control performance than other conventional methods in terms of all the evaluation indices; in particular, it realizes effective control in the case of voltage rise. Furthermore, the proposed method can also achieve the same level of voltage control performance as the optimization results, even though it uses only the voltage sensitivity matrix and SI rating capacities for parameters determination, and the accuracy of the proposed voltage control can be ensured.

The Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) version 5.6 is now available. This is a major release with new features including an isentropic advection derived parameter, a 3D streamline display, new display types for the 3D grid tracer display, and a chooser for Geostationary Lightning Mapper data from ADDE servers. In addition, the release includes updates to existing features and incorporates the latest netCDF-Java library.
For synoptic scale motions, atmospheric variables tend to be better correlated along an isentropic surface. In a 3D space, the IDV's new grid 3D isentropic advection derived parameter interpolates advection from isobaric coordinates into the isentropic space and creates 3D theta surface advection displays.
GLM ADDE Chooser
The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Level 2 products consist of geo-located and time-stamped events, groups, and flashes, with associated calibrated optical amplitudes. The IDV's new GLM ADDE data chooser provides access to three GLM source types: Geostationary Lightning Mapper EVENT, GROUP, and FLASH Data through the ADDE data server. The GLM data queries can be performed on the relative times, absolute times, and time driver times.
3D Streamline Display
Streamlines are a group of curves that depict the instantaneous tangent to the velocity vector of the flow and provide a snapshot of the flow field at a moment in time. In the IDV, 3D streamline displays show the direction in which a massless fluid element will travel at the specified time. The IDV's 3D streamline display type is available for the derived parameters "Grid 3D Trajectory" and "3D Flow Vector." The initial area of the 3D streamlines can be a 2D surface or a 3D volume.
3D Trajectory Display Update
In version 5.6, the IDV's grid 3D trajectory display includes three new display types: Tracer Arrow, Tracer Sphere and Tracer Dot. The initial area of the 3D Grid Trajectory can also be set to the XZ or YZ plane, and controlled by the data index in the X or Y direction.
Vertical Profile in Pressure Axis
The IDV's new vertical profile display uses pressure as its Y axis to emphasize information
the lower level atmoshpere and help understand tropical convection/moisture interactions
mainly concentrated in lower atmosphere. The new Conserved Sounding derived variable (from
sat thetae) — and its
associated display Conserved Variable Sounding
(Pressure) have been added to the derived parameter list for gridded datasets.
Additional New Features
IDV 5.6 includes a number of other new features. See the Release Notes for information.
