If you're a fan of Southern cooking, you've already been introduced to okra, one of the most controversial ingredients around. The slim pod has a bright green flavor similar to raw green beans but has an infamous gooey texture when sliced. The sticky substance is mucilage, which thickens up when cooked, making okra a convenient addition to soups and stews. The most celebrated use is in savory gumbo, which takes its name from the word for okra in a few Bantu languages, used in several West African countries. But when quickly pan-fried or roasted, okra becomes crunchy and full of flavor, with no trace of the slippery texture that some find unpleasant.
Okra is thought to have originated in East Africa, where Ethiopia now is, but has traveled far and wide throughout history, growing best in areas with hot climates, particularly India and West Africa. That's one reason why you'll see okra used in recipes from warm places, like South Asia, Brazil, and, of course, the American South, where it was most likely introduced by enslaved people in the 1700s. If you'd like to try cooking this tasty, often-overlooked pod, we've collected a set of our best okra recipes to tempt you.
1. Shrimp And Okra Gumbo
With a dark brown roux and the traditional taste of onion, celery, and bell peppers -- aka the Holy Trinity of Southern cooking, this Creole tomato-based shrimp gumbo is sure to please okra lovers and novices alike.
The okra is cooked lightly first and then added near the end of cooking to bring its signature flavor and texture to the pot. There's a pleasant heat to the soup thanks to three kinds of pepper, along with a Cajun spice blend and hot sauce to add more depth. Steamed white rice and an extra sprinkle of filé powder are all you need to complete this satisfying meal.

2. Pan Fried Okra
If you love crunchy fried foods, you can't go wrong with pan-fried okra. The cornmeal crust in this recipe absorbs the goo and helps the coating stay on for a crispy bite with each piece. Recipe developer Jaime Shelbert advises steaming the cut okra in a covered skillet for about eight minutes to soften the texture before sprinkling on seasonings and a handful of finely ground cornmeal. With just two tablespoons of olive oil in the pan, the delicious flavor of this fried okra is not hidden under a thick layer of oily breading.

3. Crispy Roasted Okra
This oven-roasted version of whole crispy okra pods is the perfect solution if you prefer not to do the prep work that slicing okra entails. Seasoned with smoky paprika, chili powder, garlic, and onion, the flavor is irresistible. The crunchy exterior comes from a coating of potato starch and the high heat of your oven. These make a delightful finger food appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce, or serve them as the perfect side dish with a Cajun-inspired menu.

4. Instant Pot Gumbo
For gumbo lovers looking for the ultimate in convenience, this recipe calls for pre-sliced frozen okra and very little washing up. After a few minutes of browning the flavorful sausage, the rest of the ingredients, apart from the okra, get added to the Instant Pot and finished on the high-pressure setting for just 20 minutes. Then the okra goes into the hot gumbo for 5 minutes to quickly cook through before serving. There may be no simpler and speedier way to get delicious gumbo on the table than this.

5. Sausage And Seafood Gumbo
Any list of great okra recipes is sure to include a gumbo rich in coastal seafood. This recipe is adapted from Ron Iafrate, from Chef Ron's Gumbo Stop, Metairie, LA, and includes four varieties of shellfish guaranteed to enrich your bowl: Crawfish, shrimp, crab, and shucked oysters. With a roux cooked nearly to the black stage, shrimp stock, spicy andouille sausage, and a heavy dose of garlic, this richly delicious cheffy gumbo is balanced at the very end of its long simmer by the addition of the fresh seafood and thickening power of okra.

6. Raita With Okra
Fried okra is the garnish for this spice-laced yogurt side dish familiar to lovers of South Asian food. The recipe takes advantage of a surefire way to reduce the sticky texture of okra -- a quick, very high-heat saute to brown and crisp it, no more than 6 to 8 minutes in the pan. The more heat applied to okra, the more the starchy mucilage is released, so the speed of cooking matters here. There's no starch to burn in the pan, just a bit of hot oil does the trick perfectly.

7. South Indian Okra Sambar Stew
In this fragrantly complex South Indian stew adapted from one by Troy MacLarty, chef at Bollywood Theater in Portland, Oregon, the star ingredient, okra, is dry roasted whole in a hot oven, along with carrots and onions. The vegetables are then folded into a thick lentil dal near the end of its cooking time, providing structure for the spice-laden stew. The homemade sambar masala, or spice mix, along with fiery serrano peppers and tart tamarind puree make this thick stew an adventure with each mouthful.
Recipe: South Indian Okra Sambar Stew
8. Crock Pot Chicken Gumbo
For a hands-off approach to savory gumbo, your crock pot is the way to go. Although the initial cooking of the Holy Trinity of onion, celery, and bell peppers happens on the stove, the rest of the 3-hour simmering time is spent in the crock pot on high, allowing the rich spices and meat flavors to blend deeply. Just as in the other gumbo recipes here, our tender okra is added near the end of cooking to preserve some snappy texture and flavor.
Recipe: Crockpot Chicken Gumbo Recipe
9. Fried Okra With Cucumber Raita
Another tasty recipe adapted from Troy MacLarty's Bollywood Theater in Portland, Oregon, brings intensely crispy, thin slices of okra to the table with a flavorful yogurt raita to dip them in. You'll need a mandolin to get just the right cut for this treat. The okra slices get a quick 2-minute deep fry that turns them into a light, golden-brown crispy bite. MacLarty likes to sprinkle the okra chips with salt mixed with tart amchoor and bright Kashmiri chili powders as a finishing touch. There's no trace of slime in this okra, just a crunchy and spicy starter perfect for any South Asian menu.

The upper image is the regional conservation potfolio using representation targets set by the local environmental group, the Elkhorn Slough Foundation. The lower image is a portfolio of sites that could meet the mitigation needs for four Caltrans projects planned in the watershed. The darkest-blue parcels contain biological resources that are limited, and thus, are more difficult to substitute for other parcels. The lighter parcels may be just as highly suitable, but the resources they contain could be found on other parcels. In the lower map, any parcel with a color other than tan, can be thought of as a candidate for fulfilling mitigation obligations.

EN
The combination of innovative mine planning, blast hole design, accurate timing and
some novel mining techniques will be used to reduce the blast-induced vibration by a
massive 80% at points of interest outside a European quarry's boundary. This will then allow the quarry to access untouched reserves closer to houses and other significant points of interest, which otherwise would be effected by blast vibration. The key to achieving this reduction in vibration is being able to very accurately simulate the outcome of a number of mining scenarios without blasting. Known as Advanced Vibration Management™ (AVM™), Orica's Blast Based Services business has developed a process by which actual blast waveforms from the quarry can be used with the various mining scenarios and computer modelling to simulate, with a high degree of confidence, the actual outcome of the blasts in the area specified. Many blast designs and techniques can be modelled, and the most effective vibration outcome is then adopted as the new blasting design. Using this design, the quarry will be able to demonstrate that they are able to mine with significantly lower vibration levels and satisfy their regulatory requirements. As this paper goes to print the quarry is preparing to fire the screen blast and test holes to validate the study's predicted outcome.

K-9 Division
The Chisago County Sheriff's Office K-9 Division supports and provides an additional specialized resource for patrol officers and investigators in increasing the effectiveness in the detection and prevention of crime, as well as the apprehension of criminals, and provides protection and enhanced safety for officers and citizens.
 1. 1
 2. 2
 3. 3
 4. 4
Why Use K-9's
The K-9 Division employs 2 patrol officers with specialized skills and highly trained K-9's to support the sheriff's office in meeting its law enforcement mission. The K-9 teams provide all the duties of patrol officers with the additional capabilities of the trained K-9's.
The greatest value of the K-9 teams lies in the ability of each dog's keen sense of sight, smell and hearing, which aid and enable the teams to track and locate missing or wanted person, locate evidence or lost property, apprehend fleeing or combative fugitives, and pinpoint hidden contraband.
The K-9 teams provide a positive public image of the sheriff's office expertise and efficiency. Regularly, the K-9 teams must train to maintain their proficiency to remain deployed as an operational asset. This constant training of the teams maintains a high level of readiness, ensuring the Chisago County community that each K-9 team is prepared for any eventuality.
In addition to the law enforcement mission, the K-9 Division performs public demonstrations and visits to local schools and civic organizations.
The Chisago County Sheriff's Office K-9's have many skills that make them a valuable tool for law enforcement.
Area Search
The K-9's can search large areas for contraband and illegal drug interdiction, as well as for suspects, and locates them using their heightened sense of smell.
Building Searches
The K-9's can enter a building and search it for an intruder in a fraction of the time it would take officers.
Criminal Apprehension
In the circumstance of a fleeing felon or violent individual refusing to surrender to law enforcement, the K-9's are trained to physically apprehend suspects and render them into submission for law enforcement to take them into custody.
Drug Search
The K-9's are trained to detect the odor of illegal narcotics. They are an extremely important tool in the fight against drugs in our community. When the K-9's indicate the odor of narcotics, it gives law enforcement probable cause to search.
The K-9's use their heightened sense of smell to detect the path of fleeing criminals or missing children / adults. K-9's use a combination of the scent of the individual and also the disturbed ground scent a person makes when they step. They can track across many surfaces that include concrete, grass, sand, and gravel.
The K-9's are considered Deputy Sheriffs and have their own equipment issued by the sheriff's office. They ride in special patrol cars that are set up to ensure K-9 safety and comfort. The patrol cars have their windows tinted to help minimize the heat. They also have temperature alarms that lower the windows and sound the horn if the interior temperature gets too high. The patrol cars have special cages built into them for K-9's. They have rubber mats and are ergonomically designed for comfort and safety. The cages have a water dish that allows the K-9's to stay hydrated throughout their shifts. The patrol cars also have additional lighting on them to maximize their visibility.
The K-9 Division is committed to serving its community and providing the highest quality of service to its citizens. If you wish to request a demonstration, you may contact:

Soga, M. & Gaston, K.J. (2016) Extinction of experience: the loss of human–nature interactions. Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment 14(2), 94-101. (Image from Shutterstock)
Increasingly, people are becoming less likely to have direct contact with nature (natural environments and their associated wildlife) in their everyday lives. Over 20 years ago, Robert M Pyle termed this ongoing alienation the "extinction of experience", but the phenomenon has continued to receive surprisingly limited attention. Here, we present current understanding of the extinction of experience, with particular emphasis on its causes and consequences, and suggest future research directions. Our review illustrates that the loss of interaction with nature not only diminishes a wide range of benefits relating to health and well-being, but also discourages positive emotions, attitudes, and behavior with regard to the environment, implying a cycle of disaffection toward nature. Such serious implications highlight the importance of reconnecting people with nature, as well as focusing research and public policy on addressing and improving awareness of the extinction of experience.

Some Ways to Create Function Handles
I recently was asked the best way to create function handles, given the names of functions. This came up because I recommended that we should generally remove instances of feval in our code since it is often not required and adds an extra level of function calls. I will show you several ways to work with a "list" of functions and tell you which ones I prefer and why.
Contents
Avoiding Function Handles Altogether (Not Recommended)
As I said above, I recommend not using feval because it introduces extra function call overhead, and is usually unnecessary. In addition, code is generally more robust with function handles instead of strings for representing functions.
funcList = {'sin','cos','tan'};
for i=1:numel(funcList)
 f = feval(funcList{i},1.0);
end
First Alternative (Not Recommended)
Here's a method that constructs function handles from strings using eval, a function that has a deservedly bad reputation for most applications (see these two articles: Evading Eval and More on Eval).
funcList = {'sin','cos','tan'};
for i=1:numel(funcList)
 func = eval(['@' funcList{i}]);
 f = func(1.0)
end
f =
 0.8415
f =
 0.5403
f =
 1.5574
Acceptable Methods
If you have to start off with strings at all, such as having them passed in as arguments, you can convert them immediately to function handles and then proceed, by using str2func.
funcList = {'sin','cos','tan'};
for i= 1:numel(funcList)
 fh = str2func(funcList{i});
 f = fh(1.0);
end
If you have a fixed function list, simply create the function handles to start and use them. One way is to use feval and cellfun.
funcList = {@sin, @cos, @tan};
vals = repmat({1.0},size(funcList));
f = cellfun(@feval, funcList, vals);
Best Method, When Possible
My favorite method, when I can choose to create function handles from the start, is to just iterate over the list. I find that more readable than the cellfun code and I get to avoid the extra feval call. The expense comes at the for-loop. Preallocation when you plan to actually use the results (unlike these examples) often mitigates the downsides of the loop.
funcList = {@sin, @cos, @tan};
for i = 1:numel(funcList)
 f = funcList{i}(1.0);
end
Your Preferences?
I've told you my preferences. What are yours for creating function handles? Let me know.

Liberals and organised labour
The loss of the support of organised labour during the late Victorian and Edwardian period was a key factor in the decline of the Liberal Party as an electoral force.
Once this confidence in the party was gone, the Liberals never got it back and trade union and labour issues have never since had the highest priority in Liberal politics.
The speakers examined why and how organised labour broke away from supporting the Liberal Party, and its impact on the Liberal vote.

SSN Information for Staff
The University drafted its policy on the collection, maintenance, and dissemination of Social Security numbers in order to protect the privacy and legal rights of its faculty, staff, and students. This policy cannot be successful without the active participation of those staff members that have access to employee and student SSNs. SSNs should never be stored unencrypted on workstations, laptops, or other portable data storage devices. Nor should SSNs ever be sent through email.
The University has removed SSNs from most computing systems. Consequently access to SSNs is generally not needed by University faculty and staff. All employees are encouraged to review practices involving SSNs by,
 - Questioning whether Social Security numbers are truly required for a given procedure or practice (can the UIN be used instead?)
 - Ensuring that printed documents containing Social Security numbers are destroyed in a secure manner (e.g., shredder, confidential recycling bins)
 - Reviewing reports released to third-parties - SSNs cannot be released outside of the University without the consent of the Social Security number Coordinators. The exception is the release to governmental bodies with an explicit legal right to SSNs, such as the IRS.
Federal law requires that anytime a Social Security number is requested, the electronic or physical form used to collect the number should be clearly marked as to whether this request is voluntary or mandatory. When requesting the SSN, you need to explain: 1) whether submission is mandatory or voluntary; 2) by what authority the number is solicited; and 3) what uses will be made of it. Taken together these three items comprise a disclosure statement. All disclosures statements require approval by the SSN Coordinators.
SSNs will still be maintained in U of I systems where appropriate. University employees with questions about the Social Security number policy should feel free to contact their campus SSN Coordinator.
An extended set of approved disclosure statements are also now online.
Specific Staff SSN Issues
Many of the questions asked concern the use of Social Security numbers when processing travel vouchers, fellowships, grants, and reimbursements or similar processes. Most existing University systems still rely on the Social Security number to identify individuals and in many circumstances the SSN is required by the IRS (particularly where compensation is involved).
It is important to note that the University is entitled to use the SSN internally if it has an individual's SSN. However in most circumstances it is not appropriate to force an individual to provide his or her SSN, even if they are an employee. Units should attempt, where ever possible, to collect the individual's UIN and use it to lookup the SSN. The SSN can then be used on an internal form or submission to an administrative system to speed processing.
A number of specific situations are outlined below.
Accounts Receivable, ATOs, Travel Advances
State law requires the university to provide SSNs on any receivable over $1000 for collection purposes. The SSN coordinators and University Counsel are discussing the legality of this requirement with the State Comptroller's office. In the meantime, the requirement stands.
The difficulty here is that a person may have other charges already on his/her account and your charge may push him/her over the $1000 limit. So, unless the Comptroller's office changes its requirement, we must continue to ask for the SSN/FEIN for all accounts receivable transactions. Note that ATOs (air travel orders) and travel advances are considered to be receivables, so we will continue to need SSNs on these forms as well.
Please note that as stated above, when working with faculty, staff, or students, please request their UIN and use departmental records to lookup the SSN and then complete any paperwork with the SSN.
A disclosure statement will be required:
"The University is required by the State Comptroller to collect a Social Security Number when extending credit to an individual. If an account becomes delinquent, the SSN will be provided to the state or to a private collection agency to assist in the settlement of the debt. Provision of the SSN is voluntary; if you do not wish to provide one, you may pay in advance with a check or credit card."
Fellowship payments to international students are reported to the IRS per federal statute, so we are justified in asking for an SSN from international students. There is no equivalent statute for US permanent residents and citizens.
Fellowships are processed through Payroll, and therefore we may currently continue to ask for an SSN under the exemption granted to systems in place prior to 1975. The SSN coordinators will write a disclosure statement that explains this. However, after the Banner system is installed, we will not be able to require SSN for domestic fellowship recipients.
Travel Grants
The Graduate College processes many small travel grants through an invoice-voucher. Their process requires them to collect receipts after the fact, so these grants are really treated as reimbursements for tax purposes and are not taxed or reported individually outside the university. As with travel reimbursements, having an SSN on the voucher would speed up the processing and data entry by Payables staff because of the ability to pull the data from Paymaster. However, there is no legal justification for requiring an SSN on these forms. If the Graduate College can look up the SSNs and enter them on the voucher, it will save time in Payables, but the Graduate College may not ask the student for an SSN on the Travel Grant application.
Refund payments
When the university is refunding money that was collected from an individual, it is not necessary to include an SSN on the invoice-voucher for the refund. Vouchers without SSNs will take longer for data entry staff to process.
SSN Compliance Worksheet
The University SSN Policy states: "II.2.All University forms and documents that collect Social Security numbers will use the language included below. It is understood that this language will be implemented on an 'as reprinted' basis for existing paperwork, with a full compliance date of fall 2002." The "language below" refers to disclosure statements required by federal law. The following information is provided to insure that units and University employees that solicit SSNs are meeting Federal requirements when doing so.
The Privacy Act of 1974 requires that whenever a Social Security number is requested the electronic or physical form used to collect the number must be clearly marked as to whether this request is voluntary or mandatory. When requesting the SSN, you need to:
 1. explain whether submission is mandatory or voluntary;
 2. by what authority the number is solicited; and
 3. what uses will be made of it.
Taken together, these three items constitute an SSN disclosure statement. Please note that all SSN disclosure statements are subject to the approval of the Social Security number Oversight Committee.
How do you know if you need a disclosure statement?
If you answer yes to any of the following questions you must have an SSN disclosure statement:
Do you solicit an individual's SSN on a printed form?
Do you solicit an individual's SSN on an online form or application?
Do you request an individual's SSN at a point of service (e.g., help desk, register, teller)?
Does the disclosure statement have to appear on the form (or computer screen)? I've got 10,000 printed forms I'd rather not reprint.
It is acceptable to print the disclosure statement on a separate piece of paper and include it with the form, until the existing stock of forms is exhausted. If the form is also accompanied by a separate set of instructions, it is acceptable to include the disclosure statement in the instruction booklet and reference it by page number on the form (as in the example from the UIUC application below). However, it is preferable to mark whether the submission of the SSN is mandatory or voluntary directly on the form.
Electronic screens should always include on the display whether the submission of the SSN is voluntary or mandatory. It is acceptable to provide a hyperlink or similar contrivance to the full disclosure statement.
We ask students for their SSN when they walk into our office so we can help them (in order to find their records in a computer system) - do we need a disclosure statement and how do we distribute it?
Yes - and if you explain verbally when you ask for the SSN why you are asking, the vast majority of students will gladly provide it. However having a small stack of printed disclosure statements available to hand to students (or displayed on a wall) will prevent you from having to recite the same information over and over. It is advisable to have an alternate lookup mechanism in place for students that refuse to provide an SSN. The i-card office can provide access to a web based interface to an individual's demographic information (e.g., name, SSN, digital photo) keyed on their UIN (also known as their i-card number). This permits you to request the UIN in place of the SSN and still provide the usual service.
Okay, so how do I create or get a hold of an approved disclosure statement?
 1. Please collect the following information:
 Department/Unit name
 How is the SSN utilized in your department?
 Is the SSN required or voluntary?
 If required, by what law, statute, act?
 Whose SSN do you collect (i.e. students, employees, etc.)?
 Who is allowed access to this information?
 What happens if someone refuses to provide his/her SSN?
 Could anything else (i.e. the University Identification Number) substitute for the SSN?
 2. If you would like to create your own disclosure statement, use the collected information and the following template to create a draft disclosure statement. You


of value. void divideScalar(Scalar *scalar, signed int value) Divides scalar by the absolute value of value. void copyScalar(Scalar *to, Scalar *from) Copies the value of from into to. void addToScalar(Scalar *scalar, Scalar *increment) Adds increment (a Scalar rather than a C integer) to scalar. void subtractFromScalar(Scalar *scalar, Scalar *decrement) Subtracts decrement (a Scalar rather than a C integer) from scalar. int scalarIsValid(Scalar *scalar) Returns 1 if the arithmetic performed on scalar has not resulted in overflow or underflow. int scalarToSdnv(Sdnv *sdnv, Scalar *scalar) If scalar points to a valid Scalar, stores the value of scalar in sdnv; otherwise sets the length of sdnv to zero. int sdnvToScalar(Scalar *scalar, unsigned char *sdnvText) If sdnvText points to a sequence of bytes that, when interpreted as the text of an Sdnv, has a value that can be represented in a 61-bit unsigned binary integer, then this function stores that value in scalar and returns the detected Sdnv length. Otherwise returns zero. Note that Scalars and Sdnvs are both representations of potentially large unsigned integer values. Any Scalar can alternatively be represented as an Sdnv. However, it is possible for a valid Sdnv to be too large to represent in a Scalar. PRIVATE MUTEXES The functions in this section provide platform-independent management of mutexes for synchronizing operations of threads or tasks in a common private address space. int initResourceLock(ResourceLock *lock) Establishes an inter-thread lock for use in locking some resource. Returns 0 if successful, -1 if not. void killResourceLock(ResourceLock *lock) Deletes the resource lock referred to by lock. void lockResource(ResourceLock *lock) Checks the state of lock. If the lock is already owned by a different thread, the call blocks until the other thread relinquishes the lock. If the lock is unowned, it is given to the current thread and the lock count is set to 1. If the lock is already owned by this thread, the lock count is incremented by 1. void unlockResource(ResourceLock *lock) If called by the current owner of lock, decrements lock's lock count by 1; if zero, relinquishes the lock so it may be taken by other threads. Care must be taken to make sure that one, and only one, unlockResource() call is issued for each lockResource() call issued on a given resource lock. SHARED MEMORY IPC DEVICES The functions in this section provide platform-independent management of IPC mechanisms for synchronizing operations of threads, tasks, or processes that may occupy different address spaces but share access to a common system (nominally, processor) memory. NOTE that this is distinct from the VxWorks "VxMP" capability enabling tasks to share access to bus memory or dual-ported board memory from multiple processors. The "platform" system will support IPC devices that utilize this capability at some time in the future, but that support is not yet implemented. int sm_ipc_init( ) Acquires and initializes shared-memory IPC management resources. Must be called before any other shared-memory IPC function is called. Returns 0 on success, -1 on any failure. void sm_ipc_stop( ) Releases shared-memory IPC management resources, disabling the shared-memory IPC functions until sm_ipc_init() is called again. int sm_GetUniqueKey( ) Some of the "sm_" (shared memory) functions described below associate new communication objects with key values that uniquely identify them, so that different processes can access them independently. Key values are typically defined as constants in application code. However, when a new communication object is required for which no specific need was anticipated in the application, the sm_GetUniqueKey() function can be invoked to obtain a new, arbitrary key value that is known not to be already in use. sm_SemId sm_SemCreate(int key, int semType) Creates a shared-memory semaphore that can be used to synchronize activity among tasks or processes residing in a common system memory but possibly multiple address spaces; returns a reference handle for that semaphore, or SM_SEM_NONE on any failure. If key refers to an existing semaphore, returns the handle of that semaphore. If key is the constant value SM_NO_KEY, automatically obtains an unused key. On VxWorks platforms, semType determines the order in which the semaphore is given to multiple tasks that attempt to take it while it is already taken: if set to SM_SEM_PRIORITY then the semaphore is given to tasks in task priority sequence (i.e., the highest-priority task waiting for it receives it when it is released), while otherwise (SM_SEM_FIFO) the semaphore is given to tasks in the order in which they attempted to take it. On all other platforms, only SM_SEM_FIFO behavior is supported and semType is ignored. int sm_SemTake(sm_SemId semId) Blocks until the indicated semaphore is no longer taken by any other task or process, then takes it. Return 0 on success, -1 on any error. void sm_SemGive(sm_SemId semId) Gives the indicated semaphore, so that another task or process can take it. void sm_SemEnd(sm_SemId semId) This function is used to pass a termination signal to whatever task is currently blocked on taking the indicated semaphore, if any. It sets to 1 the "ended" flag associated with this semaphore, so that a test for sm_SemEnded() will return 1, and it gives the semaphore so that the blocked task will have an opportunity to test that flag. int sm_SemEnded(sm_SemId semId) This function returns 1 if the "ended" flag associated with the indicated semaphore has been set to 1; returns zero otherwise. When the function returns 1 it also gives the semaphore so that any other tasks that might be pended on the same semaphore are also given an opportunity to test it and discover that it has been ended. void sm_SemUnend(sm_SemId semId) This function is used to reset an ended semaphore, so that a restarted subsystem can reuse that semaphore rather than delete it and allocate a new one. int sm_SemUnwedge(sm_SemId semId, int timeoutSeconds) Used to release semaphores that have been taken but never released, possibly because the tasks or processes that took them crashed before releasing them. Attempts to take the semaphore; if this attempt does not succeed within timeoutSeconds seconds (providing time for normal processing to be completed, in the event that the semaphore is legitimately and temporarily locked by some task), the semaphore is assumed to be wedged. In any case, the semaphore is then released. Returns 0 on success, -1 on any error. void sm_SemDelete(sm_SemId semId) Destroys the indicated semaphore. sm_SemId sm_GetTaskSemaphore(int taskId) Returns the ID of the semaphore that is dedicated to the private use of the indicated task, or SM_SEM_NONE on any error. This function implements the concept that for each task there can always be one dedicated semaphore, which the task can always use for its own purposes, whose key value may be known a priori because the key of the semaphore is based on the task's ID. The design of the function rests on the assumption that each task's ID, whether a VxWorks task ID or a Unix process ID, maps to a number that is out of the range of all possible key values that are arbitrarily produced by sm_GetUniqueKey(). For VxWorks, we assume this to be true because task ID is a pointer to task state in memory which we assume not to exceed 2GB; the unique key counter starts at 2GB. For Unix, we assume this to be true because process ID is an index into a process table whose size is less than 64K; unique keys are formed by shifting process ID left 16 bits and adding the value of an incremented counter which is always greater than zero. int sm_ShmAttach(int key, int size, char **shmPtr, int *id) Attaches to a segment of memory to which tasks or processes residing in a common system memory, but possibly multiple address spaces, all have access. This function registers the invoking task or process as a user of the shared memory segment identified by

text: Biotemplated Luffa cylindrica (B-LC) is used to remove oil spills from Mediterranean seawater. The main objective of this work is to develop a biotemplated organic sorbent. L. cylindrica is coated with chitosan for efficient delivery of oil droplets throughout the lumens of fiber. Thus, L. cylindrica acted both as a natural sorbent and a chitosan carrier template. In second step, the optimum conditions for the efficient oil sorption of B-LC are determined. Besides seawater tests, DDI water tests are also performed in order to investigate the effect of background water chemistry. Both modified and raw L. cylindrica samples are studied for the determination of baseline sorption capacity. SEM and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses are performed for the characterization studies. Results showed that B-LC has a higher sorption capacity compared to the raw samples. It is understood that increasing temperature has an adverse effect on seawater oil sorption value. It is generally noticed that positive effect of increased contact time and agitation speed is hindered by the increasing temperature values. Effect of background water chemistry is negligible. A slight increase in sorption capacity for the B-LC in seawater is observed. Overall results suggested that the B-LC can effectively be used as an efficient natural sorbent in the oil spill clean-up process.


text: Objectives In this study, we aimed to determine reference values for normal breast and areolar skin elasticity using shear wave elastography. Methods The right breasts of 200 female participants were evaluated. The age, weight, body mass index, menopausal status, and parity number of all participants were noted. The elasticity values and thickness of the areolar skin and 4 quadrants of the breast skin of all participants were measured. To assess the reproducibility of shear wave elastography, a randomly selected subgroup of 35 participants was reevaluated by a second observer. Results The mean age of the participants +/- SD was 48.79 +/- 10.74 years (range, 18-79 years). The mean elasticity measurements for the superior, inferior, lateral, and medial regions of the breast and areolar skin were 33.54, 29.84, 30.16, 29.20, and 31.35 kPa, respectively. The mean of the 4-quadrant measurements of breast skin elasticity was 30.68 +/- 9.11 kPa. Age had a moderate negative correlation with breast skin elasticity (r = -0.353; P <.001) and a weak negative correlation with areolar skin elasticity (r = -0.237; P =.001). The parity number had weak negative correlations with breast (r = -0.150; P =.034) and areolar (r = -0.207; P <.001) skin elasticity. The interobserver agreement varied from good to excellent (intraclass correlation coefficients, 0.67-0.91) for the breast and areolar skin elasticity measurements. Conclusions Shear wave elastography is a reproducible imaging modality for evaluations of breast and areolar skin elasticity, and our results may provide important pilot data for evaluations of clinical entities that affect the breast and areolar skin structures.


7 Ways Education Outside the Classroom Provides a Better Future and Workforce
By Dr. Chris Marczak, Superintendent of Maury County Public Schools
The ultimate goal of Maury County Public Schools (MCPS) is to equip students to achieve excellence in their next stage of life so they can become exemplary members of the workforce and community.
In early 2016, we introduced the MCPS "7 Keys to College and Career Readiness," a list of educational goals for each student to reach in order to achieve his or her full potential. Studies show that students who hit these seven benchmarks are more likely to find success in college and the workforce.
This quarter, the Grow Maury Initiative, a pro-education strategic communications campaign in partnership with the Maury County Chamber and Economic Alliance, turns its attention to a new theme—Key Seven—work-based learning and education outside the classroom in preparation to graduation.
The Tennessee Department of Education finds that in a complex global economy, all students must be prepared with intellectual, technical and social skills needed to compete and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Outside-the-classroom opportunities like internships, apprenticeships, volunteering and extracurricular activities build on classroom-based instruction and are the ultimate step in ensuring career-readiness.
Work-based learning experiences outside the classroom provide a better future and workforce in these seven ways:
1. Outside-the-classroom learning opportunities provide valuable real-world career experience.
Opportunities like internships, apprenticeships, job shadowing and volunteering provide students with a unique inside perspective within their potential career field. This offers the chance for students to understand the relevance of their academic studies within real-world scenarios and can aid in the decision-making process students face when choosing a career. It can even help students determine what they don't want to do for a career.
2. Participation in outside-the-classroom opportunities positively impacts academics.
The National Center for Education Statistics finds that outside-the-classroom learning experiences can boost attendance, academic achievement and aspirations for continuing education. These experiences enable students to learn in different settings, helping students to integrate, synthesize and apply knowledge which is essential to deep, meaningful learning experiences.
3. Former interns and apprentices have a competitive advantage over other job seekers.
Internships and apprenticeships build skills like professionalism, responsibility and experience in the field that provide a competitive advantage over other job seekers. These experiences also provide students with networking opportunities they can use in securing a job. Employers often will hire their interns and apprentices for full-time positions since they have already demonstrated capability.
4. Volunteering instills reliability, responsibility and enables students to gain new skills.
Volunteering can be advantageous in developing valuable workplace skills and training. Volunteering requires skills like reliability and responsibility, and can be a favorable addition to a resume. Serving as a volunteer also enables students to network, experience different career fields and it teaches a sense of philanthropy and giving back to the community.
5. Participation in extracurricular activities allows students opportunities to learn the value of teamwork, individual and group responsibility, competition and a sense of culture and diversity.
Students who participate in extracurricular activities, such as sports teams, band clubs and other group or team-related activities obtain skills that can be useful in the workplace. The Fortune Magazine article Want to succeed in business? Then play high school sports discusses how participation in high school sports helps students develop a host of crucial skills that give them a head start as they enter the workplace, and for decades after, providing long-term personal success and pro-sociability.
6. Employers benefit from outside-the-classroom opportunities as a cost-effective recruiting strategy.
Employing interns and apprentices allows employers to screen trainees while getting acquainted with their quality of work and performance. It facilitates their decision-making process when considering to whom they should extend an offer. Employers convert interns to full-time employees seamlessly, which reduces or eliminates any training-related costs. Internships and apprenticeships provide an ongoing pipeline of future employees.
7. Outside-the-classroom opportunities provide employers with students who can bring a fresh perspective and ideas.
Interns bring energy, new perspective and fresh ideas to the workplace which can augment the abilities of an employer's workforce. Interns are good at questioning processes and can often discover a better way that a manager may not have realized. Employers can catalyze these innovative ideas through brainstorm sessions and encouraging interns to speak up during meetings.
Outside-the-classroom opportunities are a rewarding way for businesses and organizations to support students and education in Maury County, facilitating a positive future. Throughout this quarter, we'll be sharing more studies, testimonials and examples that demonstrate the value work-based learning outside of an academic setting can bring to students, employers and the community.

MCPCB General Info
A simple layer single sided MCPCB consists of a metal base (usually aluminum, or copper alloy), Dielectric (non-conducting) Layer, Copper Circuit Layer, IC components and solder mask.
The prepreg dielectric provides excellent
heat transfer from the foil and components to the base plate, while maintaining excellent electrical isolation. The base aluminum/copper plate gives the single-sided substrate mechanical integrity, and distributes and transfers the heat to a heat sink, mounting
surface or directly to the ambient air.
The Single-Layer MCPCB can be used with surface mount and chip & wire
components, and provides much lower thermal resistance than FR4 PWB. The metal core provides lower cost than ceramic
substrates, and allows much larger areas than ceramic substrates.

How many calories are in a cooked burger?
A traditional burger weighing 6 ounces before cooking and made with 80 percent lean ground beef has more than 435 calories. To go lighter you can use extra-lean ground beef (96 percent lean), which has 195 calories for 6 ounces, or 85 percent lean ground beef, which has 360 calories.
How many carbs does a beef burger have?
Hamburger or ground beef, 90% lean (3 ounce) contains 0g of carbs, 7.5g of protein, 3.1g of fat, and 60.7 calories.
How much protein is in a 100g beef burger?
|Typical Values||Per 100g / Per 100ml||A serving contains|
Does hamburger lose calories when cooked?
" Cooking and draining ground beef significantly reduces fat and calorie content," Dr. "During cooking, both moisture and fat content decrease within the meat. On average, 4 ounces of lean raw ground beef becomes 3 ounces (about 85 grams) of cooked meat," Dr. Garden-Robinson said.
Is ground beef bad for weight loss?
Ground beef: a complete protein In fact, research shows that moderately improving your protein intake can be an effective way to help manage weight, and that protein from meat had an even greater effect on weight loss than plant protein, such as protein from nuts and beans.
Can you eat beef burgers on keto?
Bring on the burgers. It's not too good to be true—ground beef is totally keto -approved! The low-budget meat you know and love can be incorporated into so many keto recipes whether you 're in the mood for Mexican, meatloaf, or maybe a little pasta action (with zoodles, of course).
Is a plain hamburger healthy?
While burgers are good sources of protein, iron and vitamin B12, they come with a lot of problems, according to nutrition experts—particularly the fatty meat, sugary ketchup and refined grain buns. The new survey did find that even burger lovers know they could choose a healthier sandwich.
What is a serving of ground beef?
Beef gives your body more of the nutrients you need. A 3 oz. serving of lean beef provides the following nutrients in about 150 calories: Ground Beef can be purchased in a variety of leaness options.
Are burgers full of protein?
Ground beef is a great source of iron, selenium, and B vitamins. Choose from cuts like 70, 80, 85, and 95 percent lean—though the leaner the meat, the less juicy and flavorful your burger. Regardless of cut, you'll get about 20 grams of protein, says Christine Rosenbloom, Ph.
Why beef is bad for you?
Eating too much red meat could be bad for your health. Sizzling steaks and juicy burgers are staples in many people's diets. But research has shown that regularly eating red meat and processed meat can raise the risk of type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and certain cancers, especially colorectal cancer.
What meat has the most protein?
The following chart list examples of foods that contain protein. Meat, poultry and fish.
|Food||Serving size||Protein grams|
|beef (ground, lean)||3 ounces||21|
|chicken breast (cooked)||3 ounces||26|
|cod (Atlantic)||3 ounces||19|
|haddock (smoked)||3 ounces||21|
How many calories are in a 80/20 burger?
Less shrinkage, too. What the Ratios Mean: The ratio is percentage by weight. Fat is higher in calories than protein, so a 4-ounce raw 80/20 beef patty has 285 calories, versus a 90/10 patty, which has 200 calories.
Should you drain ground beef for spaghetti?
You should drain the ground beef to remove any excess grease. If you don't the grease will pool on top of your sauce.
How can I make ground beef healthier?
There's a simple and, in my opinion, quite profound way to reduce the fat content in ground beef by 50 percent! Just rinse the fat off. The other awesome thing – rinsing and draining ground beef washes away the fat without decreasing the vitamins and minerals or messing up the flavor.


Shell scripting
From Oracle FAQ
Jump to: navigation, search
This article contains some shell scripting examples:
[edit] Set the evironment
Use the follwoing code to setup the environment before you execute any Oracle utilities:
export ORACLE_SID=yoursid
export ORAENV_ASK=NO;
. /usr/local/bin/oraenv
export ORAENV_ASK=YES;
[edit] Capture SQL*Plus output
Some examples of how to interact with Oracle from a Unix or Linux shell script and return back to the shell script:
OUTPUT='sqlplus -s scott/tiger <<END
 SELECT * FROM dual;
 EXIT 0;
END'
ERROR='echo $OUTPUT | grep ORA-'
if [ "$ERROR" = "" ]; then
 echo 'No error - continue'
else
 echo 'Error - stop!'
fi
[edit] Loop through databases on a server
All databases on your machine should be listed in the oratab file. One can use this information to do processing on all databases. Look at this example:
#!/bin/ksh
ALL_DATABASES='cat /etc/oratab|grep -v "^#"|grep -v "N$"|cut -f1 -d: -s'
for DB in $ALL_DATABASES
do
 unset TWO_TASK
 export ORACLE_SID=$DB
 export ORACLE_HOME='grep "^${DB}:" /etc/oratab|cut -d: -f2 -s'
 export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
 echo "---> Database $ORACLE_SID, using home $ORACLE_HOME"
 sqlplus -s system/${DB}password @<<-EOF
select * from global_name;
exit;
EOF
done
NOTE: The terminating 'EOF' should normally be in column 1. The '-' before the first EOF above causes the shell to strip all leading TAB characters (not spaces, only TABs) from that point until (and including the EOF). This lets you indent the code in between using TABs.


This is the documentation of version 1.50. You may want the documentation of the stable version (2.0) or of the well tested 2.1 development snapshot or our homepage.
makeppinfo
What makepp knows about files
?: -?A: -A, --args-file, --arguments-fileF: -f, --forceH: -h, --helpK: -k, --keylist, --keysM: $MAKEPPINFOFLAGSQ: -q, --quietT: -t, --traverseV: -V, --version
makeppinfo option file ...
mppi option file ...
Makepp writes detailed information about the files it built and about their dependencies. This information is stored in the .makepp subdirectory along the file it pertains to. It has the form of key-value pairs. In some cases the value will again be a list of associated pairs, typically the signature and the file.
If both ENV_DEPS and ENV_VALS get displayed, they are merged into a two column table.
If both DEP_SIGS and SORTED_DEPS get displayed, they are merged into a two column table (in this order which gives a better layout). Each dependency has a SIGNATURE which is only timestamp,size, used only to check if the file must be rescanned. The interesting information is stored in some other key. The md5 signature in MD5_SUM, the smart c_compilation_md5 signature in C_MD5_SUM, shared_object in SHARED_OBJECT and verilog_synthesis_md5 in V_MD5_SUM.
These signature lists are the most frequent reason for rebuilding a file, so you might like to check, whether the signature stored for a dependency matches the current build_signature of that file. If the signatures and everything else matches, that is the basis for getting a file from (one of) your repositories or build cache if it is found there. The details depend on the applicable build check method,
This command is partially a makepp debug tool. The list of keys varies depending on which scanner, build check and signature was used. To fully understand the output, you may need to look at the source code. That said, there is also some generally interesting information to be gotten.
Valid options are:
-A filename
--args-file=filename
--arguments-file=filename
Read the file and parse it as possibly quoted whitespace- and/or newline-separated options.
-f
--force
Display info even when it is invalid because of inexistent or modified file.
-?
-h
--help
Print out a brief summary of the options.
-k list
--keys=list
--keylist=list
The list specifies one or more space separated Shell style patterns (with [xyz], ?, *, {a,bc,def}). Remember to protect these from your Shell by quoting. These are matched against the keys. Each pattern may be preceded with an exclamtion mark (!) or a caret (^) to exclude the matched keys from those selected before instead of adding them to the selection. If the first pattern starts with an exclamtion mark, it operates on all keys.
--keys='COMMAND CWD' # How was this built and where (relative to file).
-q
--quiet
Don't list file and key names. Repeat to also omit warnings.
-t
--traverse
Also output the same information for each file in SORTED_DEPS (recursively if repeated).
-V
--version
Print out the version number.
EXAMPLES
Each build check method documents how to see what they base their decision on. Finding the paths of the dependencies is the same in all cases, so it is shown here. If you build to a different directory, finding the path of the inputs requires a translation. E.g.:
mppi -k'CWD SORTED_DEPS' obj/b.o
obj/b.o:
CWD=../src
SORTED_DEPS=
 b.c
 inc/b.h
 /usr/bin/gcc
CWD is the directory relative to file, from where it was built. That directory is the one from where all relative paths in SORTED_DEPS start. This means that under the same directory we have inputs src/b.c and src/inc/b.h and an output obj/b.o. From the viewpoint of b.o, the inputs are ../src/b.c and ../src/inc/b.h. It does not matter that we gave a relative path for b.o, the information shown would be the same, had we first changed to obj.
ENVIRONMENT
Makeppinfo looks at the following environment variable:
$MAKEPPINFOFLAGS
Any flags in this environment variable are interpreted as command line options before any explicit options. Quotes are interpreted like in makefiles.

Mould for elliptical cross-sections non-pressure concrete pipes
Concrete non-pressure pipes with elliptical cross-sections (TPFe pipes) are concrete products with
diameters ranging from 2 to 3.5 m and a length of up to 2.5 m. They are used for laying of sewerage
systems, drainage systems, and other underground facilities, and they ensure the free flow of domestic
waste water, storm water, and other liquid waste.
A TPFe pipe is made from heavy concrete. It has a smooth surface and is strengthened with rebar. Due to
its high-strength structure, this pipe can bear huge loads caused by soil pressure, vibrations from surface
transport, and aggressive environment.
Supporting foot at the base of a TPFe pipe makes it exceptionally stable. Before laying the pipes down, it
is necessary to prepare a flat sub-ground base. The depth of the pipe laying and the production of TPFe
pipes are regulated by relevant GOST standards. Concrete non-pressure pipes are produced by means of
The M-Konstruktor plant manufactures steel moulds for concrete non-pressure pipes with elliptical
Pipe steel moulds elements
Our steel moulds for TPFe pipes consist of the following elements:
- a stationary bed used for the positioning of a pallet and an inner shell with respect to one another;
- a pallet, which is a bottom moulding element centering the outer shell;
- an outer shell equipped with locks and guiding rails for concrete pipes' size restriction, a steam tank for heating, and a condensate collection tank
- an inner shell equipped with a movable cam and a hydraulic drive;
- a moulding ring used for the formation of the upper edge of a concrete product;
- a hood preventing the leakage of the concrete mixture into the inner shell and helping direct the
- hydraulic cylinders enabling the cam to move inside the inner shell:
- flow dividers providing simultaneous work of hydraulic cylinders.
You can also purchase a steam jacket to speed up concrete consolidation process. If you have a steam
jacket, heating and consolidation of concrete are carried out on the bed. Thus, you do not have to move
the mould into a steam chamber.
If you use our moulds properly and ensure maintenance is provided in a timely manner, they will endure
over 1000 pouring cycles.
You can order steel moulds for concrete non-pressure pipes with diameters ranging from 600 to 3000 mm
(with a step of 200 mm) and a length of up to 2.5 m.
We also manufacture connection heads for cylindrical pipe joints and moulds for conical and rectangular
Cost of production and delivery
Delivery is available throughout the territory of European Union and Eurasian Union countries and other countries. Shipment is available in different ways: by railroad, by heavy trucks, by sea.

Ever wonder what a weather balloon sees as it climbs through the sky? Check out the video above taken by Artistsent on the Hope & Ignition Youtube channel!
Launched in Roxbourough State Park and landing just south of Hugo, footage captured by a GoPro camera shows that balloon's journey as it climbs to a maximum altitude of 100,299 feet!
Artistsent, who recorded and shared the video, also built a custom 3D printed space X grid fins to stabilize the craft in flight.
Here is a map of the balloon's path as it traveled for 2.5 hours and around 100 miles to the southeast.
This path makes sense if you look at the winds up higher in the atmosphere!
As the balloon traveled vertically through the atmosphere, it was pushed east and southeast by upper level winds, including the jet stream. The fact that the jet stream winds were so light, roughly around 35 mph on that day, probably factors into why the balloon was able to climb so high into the stratosphere to an altitude of 100,299 feet.

(pen‐name of Robert Noonan) (?1870–1911), a house‐painter of Irish extraction, is remembered for his posthumously published novel The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, which first appeared in 1914, edited from a manuscript left in the care of his daughter. An abridged edition appeared in 1918, but on the discovery of the original handwritten manuscript in 1946 it became clear that the author's intentions had been widely altered, and it reappeared, ed. by F. C. Ball, in 1955.
The action takes place during one year in the lives of a group of working men in the town of Mugsborough, and the novel is a bitter but spirited attack on the greed, dishonesty, and gullibility of employers and workers alike, and on the social conditions that gave rise to these vices. Debates on socialism, competition, employment, and capitalism are skilfully interwoven with a realistic and knowledgeable portrayal of skilled and unskilled labour in the decorating and undertaking business, and with the human stories of the families of the workers. Noonan's coining of names for local worthies—Sweater, Didlum, Grinder, Botchit, etc.—indicates his attitude towards the widespread corruption and hypocrisy that he exposes, and the book has become a classic text of the Labour movement. The ironically named 'philanthropists' of the title are the workers who toiled for pitiful wages while making no effort to understand or better their lot.

New Mineral Discovered: Panguite
A fireball that once burst out in the Sky over Mexico scattering thousands of meteorites across the state of Chihuahua, is still a strong evidence for our solar system evolution. The mineral that was embedded in the meteorite Allende was Panguite.
Panguite, the new titanium oxide derives its name Pan Gu, the giant from ancient Chinese mythology who established the world by separating yin from yang to create the earth and the sky.
Panguite was discovered by the Caltech Researchers who used electron scanning microscope to study minerals that were embedded inside the meteorite. The mineral and the mineral name have been approved by the International Mineralogical Association's Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification.
Like Us on Facebook
Sources claim that, Panguite was observed first under a scanning electron microscope in an ultra-refractory inclusion embedded in the meteorite. Refractory inclusions are among the first solid objects formed in our solar system, dating back to before the formation of Earth and the other planets. "Refractory" refers to the fact that these inclusions contain minerals that are stable at high temperatures and in extreme environments, which attests to their likely formation as primitive, high-temperature liquids produced by the solar nebula.
According to sources, Panguite contains familiar elements like oxygen and magnesium, as well as more exotic ones like zirconium and scandium and its chemical name is (Ti4+,Sc,Al,Mg,Zr,Ca)1.8O3.
According to sources, study researcher Chi Ma, a senior scientist at Caltech said "Panguite is an especially exciting discovery since it is not only a new mineral, but also a material previously unknown to science. It's brand-new to science."
The study is detailed in the July issue of the journal American Mineralogist and was supported through grants from the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Energy, and NASA's Office of Space Science.

Abstract
Scaled model studies often are used to determine the structure of secondary magnetic fields when the numerical approach is unreasonably difficult. For most purposes, it is sufficient to model the geometric configurations or relative components of the magnetic field and, neglecting displacement currents, the general modeling relation sigma mu fL 2 = constant is valid.However, in some applications such as transient electromagnetic (TEM) modeling, it is necessary to determine the power level of the full-scale system. An expression relating the voltage levels of the model and the full-scale situation is derived asEquationwhere the subscript m represents the model system. This expression must be used in order to compensate for changes in the modeling parameters.

WINDS: A Legend from the Lower Yukon
Price: $15.95 (USD)
Long ago, when the Earth was young, there were no winds to make waves dance upon the sand. No fierce storms would tear up the villages. No summer breezes would flow in through the windows. There were no winds, no winds at all!
In that time lived a couple, who more than anything else, longed for a child. A moon spirit driving a mysterious flying dogsled took pity upon the grieving husband and wife. In a dream the spirit showed the woman a strange tree and told her to make a doll from the trunk of the tree. The husband and wife followed the spirit's commands-and were rewarded when the doll turned into a bright-eyed, smiling little boy who changed the nature of the world forever.
Many cultures from around the world have creation stories to explain natural events. Winds is one such story, told by the people of the Lower Yukon section of Alaska, to explain how winds came to be, while introducing kids to a little-known tale from one of the most fascinating cultures of the world.

A recent study published in the MDPI journal applied sciences examines the advancement of rubber reinforcing techniques employing Sepiolite-based nanotechnology, with a focus on tire industry applications.

Since the development of rubber vulcanization, elastomeric strengthening using nanoparticles has been a major research focus in the rubber industry.
Sepiolite, a naturally derived, non-toxic, and chemically dynamic 1-D phyllosilicate, has the possibility of altering the paradigm of elastomeric nano-reinforcement, with the ability to impart physical flexibility to the rubber compound.
Reinforcing Fillers in Tire Industry
Carbon black is by far the most traditional reinforcing material in the tire industry, and its dispersion properties, such as specific surface area (SSA) and aggregated particulate configuration, as indicated by Oil Adsorption Number (OAN), are inextricably linked to the synthesis techniques used.
Nowadays, ASTM has regulated industrially generated carbon black categories, and the resultant characteristics in the model compound are also contained in the regulation; in other words, it is quite straightforward to forecast the mechanical impact of a specific quality of CB within a rubber compound.
The introduction of silica into rubber compositions in the mid-1980s prompted more investigation into the relationship between reinforcing filler qualities and compound characteristics.
Sepiolite as a Reinforcing Filler
Sepiolite is an alkaline earth Mg-silicate that differs from the others in that the characteristic T-O-T architecture is noticeably extended in one of the two orientations.
The edges of these extended aggregates of TOT silica join together to form needle-like patterns, which form the sepiolite core nanoparticle morphology. Because the main particle is formed of edge-bonded extended laminae, typical nanoporous cavities compensate for around half of the particulate size.
This nanoporous architecture accounts for almost two-thirds of the native Sepiolite specific surface area, and imidazolium salt treatment restricts access to the nanoporous channels, resulting in a significant reduction in observed SSA.
Sepiolite has dynamic chemical processes. When its outer layer is altered, the tradeoff work shifts to one of the most challenging problems in rubber innovation in the last two decades: lowering tire rolling resistance, which is the tire's impact on total car fuel consumption in terms of its engagement with the road.
The primary mechanical indications are determined by the filler or combination of fillers used in each constituent, especially the durability of the filler system under load, which defines the composite inertia, or the capacity to dissipate heat during repetitive displacement.
The filler network's thermal resilience is another important factor, which is important for the constancy of qualities in the various settings in which the tire is used.
Use of Novel Nanofillers in Pirelli Tires
Pirelli was able to identify new characteristics trade-offs by testing innovative nanofillers in particulate-filled systems of tire compositions.
Patent filing WO2012164433, which claims a new set of qualities, is a good illustration of this notion. The novel composition, which includes Sepiolite compounds as well as a blend of silicon and carbon black, exhibits a significant increase in elastic flexibility while maintaining excellent tensile qualities. This enables the use of firmer under tread compositions for improved steering without sacrificing high-speed safety.
The use of Sepiolite variants in the filler combination results in a considerable improvement in the component's dynamic rigidity without affecting the formulation's machinability. Despite this, the hysteresis value can be kept under check to prevent high temperatures build-up in severe situations.
Research Conclusion and Prospect
The usage of Sepiolite derivatives appeals to tire technologists because it overcomes common rubber compound trade-offs while enhancing a wide range of tire constituents.
The advantages vary depending on the requirements, ranging from a fundamental balance between rigidity and hardness to fine-tuning of the elasticity in various temperature zones to the minimization of compound resonance for fuel savings.
Because of the nanoparticles' rod-like form, sepiolite-based materials can produce physically anisotropic composites. The Smart-Net Silica®, produced using this method, is a unique application of a high-performance bike tread complex tire in which the composite structural anisotropy has a distinctive influence on tire performance and safety.

Apocrine chromhidrosis — codes and concepts
Submit your photo of apocrine chromhidrosis
What is apocrine chromhidrosis?
Apocrine chromhidrosis is the production of coloured sweat by apocrine sweat glands.
Apocrine chromhidrosis
Who gets apocrine chromhidrosis?
Apocrine chromhidrosis is rare. It usually starts after puberty once the apocrine glands have matured, but has also been reported in infants. Chromhidrosis occurs in both sexes.
What causes apocrine chromhidrosis?
Apocrine chromhidrosis is due to lipofuscin granules in the apocrine sweat glands. It is thought that lipofuscin is produced from the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids within the gland. Higher levels of oxidation result in darker colours. It is unknown why this happens.
What are the clinical features of apocrine chromhidrosis?
Apocrine chromhidrosis presents with coloured sweat localised to the distribution of the apocrine glands in the axillae, on the face (particularly the cheeks), breast areolae, and anogenital regions.
Sweat may be coloured blue, black, green, brown, or yellow, depending on the oxidation state of the lipofuscin, staining the skin and clothing. It is noticed by the patient particularly after exercise or emotional stress, and can result in having to change clothing multiple times each day.
The secretion of coloured sweat can be preceded by a prickly sensation or warmth on the affected skin.
What is the differential diagnosis of apocrine chromhidrosis?
Apocrine chromhidrosis must be distinguished from pseudochromhidrosis and eccrine chromhidrosis.
Pseudochromhidrosis is sweat that becomes discolored after it has been secreted. It is more common than chromhidrosis.
Eccrine chromhidrosis
Eccrine chromhidrosis is the production of coloured sweat from the eccrine sweat glands.
How is apocrine chromhidrosis diagnosed?
Apocrine chromhidrosis is usually diagnosed clinically. The following may be used to confirm the diagnosis:
 - Expression of sweat from the affected site may reveal coloured sweat that quickly dries
 - Wood lamp examination may show yellow fluorescence
 - Microscopy of freshly-expressed discolored sweat demonstrates the lipofuscin granules
 - A skin biopsy confirms the diagnosis if PAS-positive lipofuscin pigment granules are found within the apical cells of apocrine glands.
Other tests may include:
 - A skin scraping and culture to exclude the chromogenic bacteria of pseudochromhidrosis
 - Liver function and kidney function tests to exclude hyperbilirubinaemia and uraemia.
What is the treatment of apocrine chromhidrosis?
Treatments that have had some success in apocrine chromhidrosis include:
 - Topical capsaicin cream, which reduces substance P (a neurotransmitter important in the production of sweat in apocrine sweat glands)
 - Botulinum toxin type A injections.
These treatments temporarily reduce apocrine sweating and the discoloration recurs as the effects on sweating wear off.
What is the outcome for apocrine chromhidrosis?
Apocrine chromhidrosis is a benign chronic condition. It slowly regresses with advancing age as the apocrine glands gradually become less active.

Rain water sinks through the porous rocks but once it reaches the underlying clays it can sink no further. The water builds up along the junction between the rock layers and seeps out of the cliffs as a series of springs.
After periods of prolonged rainfall, the build up of water increases the weight of the cliff top. Increased poor pressure reduces the friction and allows large sections of the cliff top to break away.
As the cliff top block subsides, it rotates along the slip plane within the cliff, resulting in the flat surface tipping back towards the cliff.
The main type of landslide that occurs at the coast is called slumping.
Slumping (also landslips) Slumps occur in weaker rocks and involve some rotational movement. Slumping can occur after heavy rainfall or earthquakes Back tilted slopes Large blocks break away Sliding surface is concave Soft boulder clay cliffs can be undercut by the sea and slumps are common.

Labor Unions a Key to Happiness, New Report Says
Even though U.S. public opinion of unions remains low, a new report finds that labor groups nonetheless improve the general well-being for union and non-union citizens in several industrialized countries.
The findings appear in the September issue of Social Indicators Research, a journal which focuses on quality of life measurements. They highlight a link between union density and life satisfaction based on data from fourteen developed nations.
The researchers (three American academics) used individual and aggregate data to measure what effect unions have on the overall happiness of the country and their citizens using a measurement known as "subjective well-being," a scientific concept that evaluates quality of life or general happiness. They found that organized labor is a boon to the well-being of those who live in industrialized regions in places like Europe, Japan and Australia.
"Our ﬁndings strongly suggest that unions increase the life satisfaction of citizens, and that that this effect holds for non-union members as well," wrote Notre Dame University political science professor Benjamin Radcliff, Notre Dame Ph.D candidate in political science Patrick Flavin and Texas A&M University political science associate professor Alex Pacek. "Moreover, we also ﬁnd that labor organization has the strongest impact on the subjective well-being of citizens with lower incomes."
The findings are a bright spot for labor groups at a time when union membership has declined and American public opinion for labor groups have remained low. The results were positive across all sectors from the society to the individual: countries and individuals who live countries with high union densities had a higher level of life satisfaction; union members reported being generally happier than non-union members by one-tenth; and the less fortunate who were union members had the highest improvement in their quality of life.
The study outlines several variables that contribute to an improved well-being, including many that have been touted by labor advocates. For one, unions provide a measure of job security that provides safeguards for sudden layoffs. Secondly, the power of collective bargaining allows for a sense of empowerment through mechanisms like grievance procedures. Unions also reduce a sense of alienation through a support network. Nonunion members and society at large also benefit through a "contagion effect" through inter-personal communication.
"As such, people are likely to be more satisfied themselves the more they interact with other satisfied people. Those in countries with a higher proportion of more-satisfied-than-otherwise union members are likely to be more satisfied, on average, than those in countries with fewer proportional union members," the report said.
Although the total unionization rate in the United States is only 12.3 percent, the research underscores how labor groups are contributing to the quality of life in industrial nations. The big takeaway: life satisfaction is directly related to unionization rates even as public and private sector unions have come under attack in recent years.
But the United States still has a way to go, according to the union coalition American Rights at Work. The group points out America ranks on the bottom on the quality-of life-scale because of small union membership numbers. Employers have also continued to prevent unions from forming in the workplace, leading to lower levels of general well-being.
Unions have indeed been criticized for everything from stifling wages and benefits, influencing political organizing, to hampering economic productivity, but the researchers note that it's important to consider organized labor as an agent for improving happiness.
If the study rings true, that's not good for Americans. If membership continues to decline, then the populace faces many unhappy days ahead.

This delicate jewel of marine coral and African gold depicts intricately carved flowers emerging from a woven basket. This sort of naturalistic jewelry became especially popular in the mid-Nineteenth Century, especially in Italy where this bracelet was made. Coral's softness allowed for easy carving, but it could also be used in its natural form, taking advantage of the appeal of its natural branches in styles reminiscent of those from Asia and Africa.
Most of the coral used in Europe came from the sea near Naples, Italy, and the medium quickly became a favorite symbol of world travel around 1815.

By its roots
Water Lilies Food was created in 1995.
Water lilies are jewels of the pond garden. However they have their share of pests. Aphids and snails would be the worst.
I am sure the water lilies inspired him.
Beavers, muskrats, ducks, porcupines, and snails eat water lilies
Pond weed does not eat water lilies, but it does require a large amount of oxygen which often chokes the lilies out of the pond.
It can live in the water instead of land water lilies are rooted but their leaves float to the surface of water to get their sunlight.
Lilies eat soil, water, nature and algae.
The Water Lilies pictures have always been great favorites.
The water lilies have thick, fleshy creeping underwater stems that are buried in the mud.
Is it not obvious? He had this big pond made and saw to it that the water-lilies grew there in abundance just so he could paint this, his favorite subject.
Water lilies provide shade so that less algae grows in the water and they absorb chemicals from the water that makes it cleaner.
Water lilies provide food for fish. They need pollinators to make seeds. Water lilies are perennial plants.
Water Lilies was painted by Claude Monet in 1916. Answer 2: The above is of course correct. However Monet painted a great number of water lilies paintings from the 1890s until his death in 1926.
He made hundreds of water lilies paintings, in all colors and shades.
Water Lilies - 1911 was released on: USA: 13 January 1911
no. water lilies only eat water and they only get eaten by birds. they are whatsoever beautiful and a true American style.
Yes yes all his water lilies paintings were oil paintings.
Claude Monet, of course, loved to paint water lilies (les nympheas).
Water lilies are not decomposers. But they take advantage of rich soil that has dead material in it. Worms and bacteria are decomposers.
Sea lilies eat tiny water organisms called plankton.
Yes muskrats and beavers have been known to chew on water lilies.
On day 59 the lake is half covered.
The cast of Water Lilies - 1911 includes: Irmgard von Rottenthal as Albertina
Yes, there are some animals that do eat water lilies. Some animals that eat water lilies are deer, beavers, raccoons, and muskrats.
With water & the sun...........
Water lilies have a few adaptations. These would include being able to have their roots constantly submerged in water and having very large flowers to attract insects.
Water lilies and cattails grow in water.
Yes! Beavers, muskrats, ducks, porcupines, and snails eat water lilies. Other animals, such as deers and even humans eat the inside of water lilies-the seeds inside.
well water lilies have seeds in them wich make the babys inside the flower are the seeds wich make more seeds
Purple water lilies are fragrant and showy flowers that float on the water surface. The purple flowers typically have bright purple petals with yellow centers.
Water lilies, sea weed.
Water Lilies do not eat.
Water lilies grow in shallow water
Sea lilies use the tube feet on their arms to capture floating plankton in the water.
The following is about the one in the Metropolitan Museum. Monet painted at least 40 oter 'Water Lilies'. Water Lilies Oil on canvas Dimensions 51 1/4 x 79 in. (130.2 x 200.7 cm)
Water lillies do not eat algae.
Because they get very, very thirsty.
stays the same. water lilies
chloroplasts located only on the upper surface of leaves
Calla Lilies don't particularly need very much water. It really depends where the plant is located whether it be outside or inside.
Water lilies are found in the water. They give shade to water animal life. In warm areas, these flowers will live all year. If the area experiences a winter, they should be taken inside for the season.
No but its allways good to ask
Water lilies and Lotus
They are spelled different
every week you should water them
They grow until they reach the surface of the water.
Probably by the huge lily pad on top of the water.
Because of a water lily's high nutritional content, many animals are attracted to them. Some animals do eat water lilies but the only ones I know of are fish and snails.
Beavers, muskrats, ducks, porcupines, and snails eat water lilies. Other animals, such as deers and even humans eat the inside of water lilies-the seeds inside.
If there is no permanent water supply there can be no water lilies.

Five favourites - plants for cut flowers
Cut flower grower Cel Robertson shares her five favourite plants for cut flowers
Cut flowers aren't just my business, they are my passion. These five plants make excellent cut flowers – they are prolific and easy to grow. Cutting flowers grown in your garden connects us to the seasons and the joy of creating arrangements from blooms you've grown yourself cannot be overstated.
- Cel Robertson's top tips for growing plants for cut flowers
- The cut flower growing year
- 10 bulbs for spring cut flowers
- 1o cut flowers to grow from seed
- How to raise cut flowers from seed
- Perennials for cut flowers

Narcissus 'Bridal Crown'
The cheerful blooms of Narcissus 'Bridal Crown' are a sign of spring arriving. Just a few stems can fill a room with scent and I decorate my home with these cream, multi-headed blooms in early spring to enjoy their fragrant perfume. They're easy to grow and you can plant bulbs in pots in succession throughout autumn and into early winter. They can also be brought inside for forcing into flower to enjoy a little earlier than bulbs planted in the garden.
Astrantia roma is one of my favourite perennial plants. They are incredibly easy to grow as they are tolerant of a wide range of soil types and situations - my plants are thriving on sandy loam soil in full sun. The blooms are long-lived in the vase, and Astrantia roma produces dozens of stems in a shade of soft pink that tones beautifully with pale pink peonies which bloom at the same time in early summer.
Foxgloves are an unusual but wonderful cut flower and the perfect variety for a wilder, nature-inspired arrangement. Digitalis purpurea 'Primrose Carousel' has the palest lemon blooms spotted with purple and is one of my favourite foxgloves with densely packed blooms around the stem. It is a shorter growing variety which makes it easier to use in arrangements; I love to fill a vase with this single variety to celebrate their unique beauty.
Gillenia trifoliata is a perennial that is less well-known as a cut flower. Each stem supports a cloud of white star-like blooms which makes for an ethereal filler flower for the vase. It brings a lightness to arrangements whilst in flower in the summer, but in the cooler temperatures of the autumn season it becomes altogether more interesting; the leaf colour and seed heads add textural interest and a real sense of the changing seasons.
Dahlias are the divas of the autumn garden, with the ball group of dahlias having the longest vase life. With so many varieties available it's hard to choose a favourite, but Dahlia 'Jomanda' is currently top of my list. The soft russet orange colour of the blooms is the perfect choice for an autumn arrangement. It has a long flowering season so you'll be able to cut blooms from late summer through to the first frosts.
