Beavers and sea otters are known for having this amazing fur that traps air when they dive underwater, helping to keep their little blubber-less bodies warm. This is what inspired MIT engineers to create a fur-like rubbery pelt. They wanted to figure out how these mammals star warm and even dry while diving in and out of icy waters.
The Plan: Make precise, fur-like surfaces of various dimensions, dunk the surfaces in liquid at different speeds, and use video imaging to measure the air that is trapped in the fur during each each dive.
"We are particularly interested in wetsuits for surfing, where the athlete moves frequently between air and water environments," says Anette (Peko) Hosoi, a professor of mechanical engineering and associate head of the department at MIT. "We can control the length, spacing, and arrangement of hairs, which allows us to design textures to match certain dive speeds and maximize the wetsuit's dry region."
The team at MIT made several molds by laser-cutting thousands of tiny holes in small acrylic blocks. Each mold was altered, varying in size and the spacing of individual hairs. The molds were then filled with a soft casting rubber.
Researchers mounted each hairy piece of rubber and submerged them in silicone oil. They chose oil so they could better observe any air pockets forming.
Results: The team learned that the spacing of individual hairs, and the speed at which they were plunged, played a large role in determining how much air a surface could trap. Surfaces with denser fur, plunged at higher speeds, generally retained more air within the hairs.
So, what does this mean? If you've ever worn a wetsuit you know they can be heavy and hard to move around in. Let's pretend a wetsuit is made out of this fabricated hairy material, using air for insulation instead of soggy rubber. The bio-inspired wetsuit would be lightweight and behave better in water.
Can you imagine? Light, warm, furry wetsuits? I'm in! 🏄
The results were published in the journal Physical Review Fluids. You can view the study here -along with some pretty epic charts, diagrams, and photos.


When Did Coke Switch To Corn Syrup?
Coca-Cola is one of the most popular beverages in the world. But have you ever wondered what makes up this iconic drink? One of the primary ingredients that make Coca-Cola so unique is the sweetener used in it. For years, the company used cane sugar to give the drink its signature taste. However, in the 1980s, something changed. Coca-Cola switched to using corn syrup as its primary sweetener.
This switch has been a topic of debate among Coca-Cola lovers ever since. Some people believe that the change in sweetener has altered the taste of the drink, while others feel that the difference is negligible. But why did Coca-Cola make this switch to corn syrup in the first place? What are the implications of this change on the health of its consumers? Join us as we explore the history of Coca-Cola's sweeteners and try to answer these questions.

When Did Coca-Cola Switch to Corn Syrup?
Coca-Cola, the world's most popular soda, has been a staple in the beverage industry for over a century. However, in the 1980s, the company made a significant change to its formula, switching from using pure cane sugar to high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). This transition sparked controversy and confusion among consumers who were used to the original taste of Coca-Cola. Let's explore the reasons behind this change and what it means for the company and its customers.
Why the Switch to Corn Syrup?
The switch to corn syrup was primarily driven by cost. Corn syrup is significantly cheaper than cane sugar, making it a more cost-effective option for large-scale production. Additionally, corn syrup is easier to transport and store than cane sugar, which is a more delicate ingredient.
Another factor that contributed to the switch was the rising demand for sweetened beverages. In the 1980s, the popularity of sugary drinks was growing, and Coca-Cola was facing increased competition from other brands. The company needed to produce more soda to meet this demand, and corn syrup was a convenient and affordable solution.
The Impact on Taste
The switch to corn syrup had a significant impact on the taste of Coca-Cola. Many consumers noticed a difference in the flavor, with some describing it as less sweet and less crisp than the original formula. Some people found the new taste to be unpleasant and reported that it had a slightly artificial aftertaste.
However, others did not notice a significant difference and continued to enjoy Coca-Cola as they always had. Coca-Cola did make some adjustments to the formula to try to replicate the original taste, but the switch to corn syrup has remained a controversial topic among fans of the brand.
Corn Syrup vs. Cane Sugar
Many people still prefer the taste of soda made with cane sugar over corn syrup. Cane sugar is a natural ingredient that has a cleaner, crisper taste than corn syrup, which can sometimes taste overly sweet or artificial. Additionally, cane sugar is considered to be a healthier option than corn syrup, which has been linked to obesity, diabetes, and other health issues.
However, corn syrup remains a popular ingredient in many processed foods, including soda, due to its low cost and convenience. It is a highly processed sweetener that is derived from corn, and it is used in many foods and beverages as a cheaper alternative to cane sugar.
The Future of Coca-Cola
Despite the controversy surrounding the switch to corn syrup, Coca-Cola remains one of the most popular soda brands in the world. The company has continued to innovate and introduce new flavors and products, and it remains a dominant player in the beverage industry.
In recent years, Coca-Cola has faced increasing pressure to adapt to changing consumer preferences and address concerns about the health impacts of sugary drinks. The company has introduced new products, such as Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Diet Coke, that are marketed as healthier alternatives to traditional soda.
Benefits of Corn Syrup
While corn syrup remains a controversial ingredient, it does offer some benefits. For one, it is a highly versatile sweetener that can be used in a wide range of products, from soda to candy to baked goods. Additionally, corn syrup is a more stable ingredient than cane sugar, which can be affected by moisture and temperature changes.
From a production standpoint, corn syrup is also easier to work with than cane sugar. It is more resistant to crystallization and can be stored for longer periods of time without deteriorating in quality.
Conclusion
The switch to corn syrup was a significant change for Coca-Cola and its customers. While it did reduce production costs and help the company meet growing demand for sweetened beverages, it also altered the taste of the iconic soda. Today, Coca-Cola remains a popular brand, but it faces new challenges as consumers become more health-conscious and demand healthier options. Regardless of the controversies surrounding corn syrup, it remains a popular and widely used ingredient in the food and beverage industry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions and answers about when Coca-Cola switched to using corn syrup.
When did Coca-Cola switch to using corn syrup?
Coca-Cola switched to using high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as a sweetener in the United States in the 1980s. The switch was made due to rising costs of sugar and the availability of cheaper corn syrup.
HFCS is a blend of glucose and fructose, which is cheaper to produce than sugar. The switch to HFCS allowed Coca-Cola to maintain their profit margins while keeping the price of their product affordable for consumers.
Why did Coca-Cola switch to corn syrup?
Coca-Cola switched to corn syrup as a sweetener due to the rising costs of sugar. At the time, corn syrup was a cheaper alternative to sugar and was readily available.
Additionally, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is sweeter than sugar, allowing Coca-Cola to use less of it in their products. This allowed them to maintain their profit margins while keeping the price of their product affordable for consumers.
Did Coca-Cola switch to corn syrup in all countries?
No, Coca-Cola did not switch to corn syrup in all countries. In some countries, Coca-Cola still uses sugar as a sweetener. This is due to a variety of factors, including availability and consumer preferences.
In countries where corn syrup is used, it is typically a blend of glucose and fructose, known as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). This is cheaper to produce than sugar and has a longer shelf life.
Is corn syrup worse for you than sugar?
There is no clear consensus on whether corn syrup is worse for you than sugar. Some studies suggest that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) may be more harmful to your health than sugar.
However, other studies suggest that there is no significant difference between the two sweeteners in terms of health effects. Ultimately, the best way to maintain good health is to consume both sweeteners in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Does Coca-Cola still use corn syrup?
Yes, Coca-Cola still uses corn syrup as a sweetener in some of their products. However, they have also introduced other sweeteners, such as stevia, in response to consumer demand for healthier options.
Coca-Cola has also introduced a variety of low-calorie and sugar-free options, such as Diet Coke and Coke Zero, which use artificial sweeteners instead of corn syrup or sugar.
Why Coke Tried to Switch to New Coke
In conclusion, the switch from cane sugar to high fructose corn syrup in Coca-Cola occurred in the 1980s. This change was made due to the lower cost and increased availability of corn syrup. Despite the switch, many consumers still prefer the taste of Coca-Cola made with cane sugar and seek out Mexican-made Coca-Cola for its use of cane sugar. However, Coca-Cola continues to use high fructose corn syrup in its products sold in the United States.

Counselor: Hagerle sincerely apologized to the physician for lying to her. So Hagerle owes me a sincere apology as we...
on November 2, 2015
Can you please explain why E is wrong.
on November 17, 2015
This is a principle question that asks us to identify, from the available answer choices, a principle that would strengthen the conclusion in the stimulus. So let's first be sure that we understand the stimulus correctly.
In the stimulus, the counselor concludes that Hagerle owes him a sincere apology. There are two premises given in support of this conclusion:
Premise: Hagerle sincerely apologized to the physician for lying to her.
Premise: Hagerle told me (the counselor) the same lie.
As you can see, neither of those premises is enough to support the counselor's conclusion that Hagerle owes him a sincere apology, too.
Now let's examine each of the possible answer choices and evaluate whether one of them would, in fact, justify the conclusion.
Answer choice (A) doesn't go far enough. Just because it's "good" to apologize for having done something wrong to a person if one is capable of doing so sincerely does not necessarily mean that Hagerle "owes" the counselor an apology.
Answer choice (B) is also insufficient to justify the conclusion. We do not know that BOTH the counselor and the physician were, in fact, owed an apology.
Answer choice (C), if added to the stimulus, would in fact justify the conclusion of the stimulus. If it is true that someone is owed a sincere apology for having been lied to by a person if someone else (here, the physician) has already received a sincere apology for the same lie from that same person, then the conclusion in the stimulus is justified.
Answer choice (D) can be eliminated because capability alone does not justify the counselor's conclusion that he is also owed an apology. Put differently, if (D) alone were enough, then it wouldn't matter that Hagerle had also made an apology to the physician, right?
Notice how answer choice (E) does not talk about when an apology is OWED, which is what the conclusion in the stimulus is about. Rather, answer choice (E) discusses when a person ought to apologize ("should"). That's not the same thing.
Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Call Process Review
Following a decision by the 2015 General Convention of Synod (Resolution 151209), the then General Church Council commissioned an investigation into the LCA call process in order to hear from congregations about their views and expectations of the process and to identify ways the system could be improved.
The review made a number of recommendations. Overall it found that the system itself does not require significant structural change. However, it did identify that there is frustration about the system and a process that can be disheartening for some calling bodies. As a result, the review also identified scope for improvement in the efficiency and transparency of the process.
The General Church Board has received the report, considered its recommendations and approved a series of actions to implement them. These actions were developed in consultation with the College of Bishops. Some of them are already under development; for example, Church Worker Support is working on a framework for annual vocational reviews of pastors. Others will be developed and rolled out through this synodical period and beyond.
The focus of the actions is to support both calling bodies and pastors to:
- improve trust in the call process
- increase the chances of a good calling body/pastor fit
- improve the understanding of how the call process works, and
- ensure greater professionalism, and overall efficiency and transparency in the system.
These actions can be implemented through policy, operational processes and provision of resources to support all participants in the call system.

A photothermal laser interferometric system is described that has sufficient sensitivity to allow the detection of the hydrazines: hydrazine, monomethylhydrazine, and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine at part per billion concentrations. A line tunable CO2 laser excites the trace hydrazine molecules in one arm of a modified Jamin interferometer illuminated with a single frequency He–Ne laser. The CO2 laser beam intersects one of the He–Ne beams in the interferometer at a small angle, so there is no interaction of the IR and visible laser beams at any optical components in the system. The system operates with computer control of interferometer alignment, CO2 excitation laser tuning, and data acquisition.

text: This paper analyses immigrants' education-occupation mismatch as well as its impact on their wages in Spain. Using cross-sectional data from the National Immigrant Survey of Spain 2007, we estimate a probit model taking into account the possible problem of selection bias. We show that the incidence of immigrants' education-occupation mismatch in the Spanish labour market can largely be explained by the incidence of education-occupation mismatch in the last job held in the home country. The probability of having been over-educated at home shows to have a higher effect on the probability of being over-educated in the first job upon arrival where work experience gained in the home country shows to be highly valued by Spanish employers. In addition, our results show that those who were over-educated in their first job after arrival are more likely to continue in being overeducated in their current/last job in Spain. Furthermore, we analyse the performance of immigrants in Spain by estimating the wage penalty of over-education. Using log wage equation as well as predicted and counterfactual values distinguishing between immigrants being in the correctly matched occupation and those who are over-educated, we show that over-educated immigrants earn significantly lower wage compared to their correctly-matched counterparts, while over-educated immigrants' would have earned an even larger amount if the same individuals were employed in a correctly matched job instead. Significant differences are also apparent when restricting the models to the level of education.

Exclusive GP practices across England have been hit with incorrect estimates of their QOF payments for 2013/14 after a calculation error in CQRS meant thousands of pounds were missing from their payments.
Pulse has learnt that practices have had a 1.9% reduction on average in the payments calculated by CQRS, compared with what they should be paid for their QOF performance in 2013/14, translating to more than £2,000 to the average practice.
NHS England has apologised for the error and said that payments will be adjusted at a later stage as is the 'usual approach to QOF'.
Local leaders said this was 'another disaster in a catalogue of disasters' and warned practices could be facing delayed payments as a result.
As a result of the error, practices logging on to the CQRS system this week have been confronted with losses of thousands of pounds in some cases, and expected to approve QOF performance way below the level they were expecting.
Managers said that the CQRS system had used practice population figures from January 2014 to calculate the QOF payments due to practices, instead of the correct figure from January 2013.
The admission comes as area team managers revealed – in a letter to GPs obtained by Pulse – that there have been a series of errors in QOF payments involving CQRS, the system designed to calculate QOF payments. These errors are:
- A national error in the average list size used to calculate GP practice QOF payments means practices were given incorrect estimates of their achievement and all payments have to be re-calculated
- A national error in PMS deduction calculations has meant that practices were being told the wrong amount would be deducted from their QOF performance this year
- The GPES extraction of QOF data has not taken place for some practices at all. Area team managers have said only a 'minority' of practices were affected.
Londonwide LMCs medical director Dr Tony Grewal said the mistake was a 'total disaster' and that NHS England needed to be quicker to resolve problems such as these.
He said: 'This is just one further disaster in a catalogue of disasters. It will mean significant amounts of extra work and delays to payments – and GPs are not in a situation where cash flow isn't critical. It is one further mess-up.'
Dr Robert Morley, chair of the BMA's GPC contracts and regulations subcommittee, said a letter had been sent to every practice, advising them that their QOF payments will be recalculated and they'll get an increase in their payment.
However, he added: 'Clearly they have to resubmit information for that, it's causing additional workload for practices and additional delay.'
'It's yet another sort of indication of the shambolic state of affairs we have within NHS England, and with all the various agencies and organisations that are involved in the GP contract and funding of general practice.'
The problems come after a series of issues with the GPES system that was meant to automatically extract QOF, DES and vaccination performance, and the CQRS system that uses that data to pay practices.
The Health and Social Care Information Centre had originally planned to have the CQRS system ready to automatically upload DES, vaccination and QOF data by October 2013, yet the system has faced a number of setbacks, with GPs forced to take on the time-consuming task of manually inputting data and hundreds of practices facing frustration when their passwords to the reporting system expired without warning.
An NHS England spokesperson said: 'The QOF extraction and payment processing successfully ran over the year end. However, the intended 2013/14 QOF payments initially notified to practices were incorrectly calculated by reference to average list size (the Contractor Population Index) in January 2014 rather than January 2013.'
'The Health and Social Care Information Centre is now recalculating these payments to reflect the correct Contractor Population Index and will inform practices of the recalculated payment. The correction will take effect once the practice and area team have agreed and approved the achievement. This is consistent with the usual approach to QOF. We will also ensure that QOF aspiration payments for 2014/15 are adjusted accordingly.'
'We apologise for any concerns that this has caused for practices.'

The real cost of crashes and deaths on NSW roads
Car crash
windscreen shattered
Be it as a passenger or driver, you've likely seen close calls on the road or experienced them yourself. But have you ever wondered how many road crashes occur each year?
In a bid to understand the trends in fatal road accidents, we analysed the number of lives lost and casualties on NSW roads, as well as quantified the cost by region and main arterial road.
Here, we provide a snapshot of our findings taken from the NRMA Cost of Crashes report.
The loss of life due to road crashes in NSW is on the increase since 2015
Over the past decade there has been a steady decline in the number of lives lost on NSW roads. However, 2015 and 2016 has seen an upward trend.
During 2011-2015, 1,723 lives were lost and 129,320 people were injured on NSW roads. While the number of fatalities decreased 20.3 per cent over the period 2006-10 to 2011-15, the number of total serious injuries increased 4.6 per cent to 61,130.
Source: NRMA Cost of Crashes report
Regional NSW has a higher proportion of road fatalities than metro NSW
Fatalities in regional NSW represent a disproportionate share of the NSW road toll, while serious, moderate, and minor injuries represent are larger proportion of casualties in the Sydney region.
In 2011-15, 67.1 per cent of fatalities occurred in regional NSW. By comparison, 55 per cent of serious injuries in 2011-15 occurred in the Sydney region.
Total cost of road trauma has decreased
During 2011-15, the cost of trauma on NSW roads totalled $35.7 billion. While the total cost of road trauma decreased 8.2 percent when compared to 2006-10, the total cost of serious injuries increased by 4.0 per cent to $17.8 billion in 2011-15.
Lives lost
For the period 2011-15, there was a 20.3 per cent decrease in the number of lives lost across NSW roads when compared to 2006-10. This means the total cost of fatalities declined from $15.57 billion in 2006-10 to $12.43 billion during 2011-15.
The average cost of a life lost on a NSW road for the period 2011-2015 was $7.21 million.
Serious injuries
Over the 10 year period from 2006 to 2015, there were 119,563 people seriously injured on NSW roads. For the period 2011-2015 there was a five per cent increase in the number of serious injuries (matched) to 33,560 from 31,971. This cost to the community is $9.71 billion compared to $9.35 billion for the period 2006 to 2010.
The average cost of someone being seriously injured on a NSW road for the period 2011-15 was $289,417.
What are the biggest problem regions in NSW?
Taking population density into account, the biggest increase in fatalities and injuries occurred in the Illawarra and Hunter regions of NSW.
There was a massive increase in the number of lives lost on the Oxley Highway in particular, from 11 to 25 in 2006-2010 and 2011-2015 respectively. To put it in perspective, that's up by a whopping 127.3%.
The Cost of Crashes report
Keeping Australians safe on our roads is a key part of why the NRMA exists. Safe mobility is a core of focus of the NRMA, incorporated into every aspect of our business.
There will never be an acceptable number of lives lost on our roads and industry, government and the community need to work together to continue to reduce the NSW road toll. The NRMA supports the NSW Government's target to reduce annual road deaths and serious injuries by at least 30 per cent by 2021, and will continue to shoulder some of this responsibility, championing safer vehicles, road upgrades and education campaigns to ensure all road users arrive safely at their destination.

Is the fluffiness of snow measured, if so, how is that measurement determined?
Fluffy snow is a snow-shoveler's delight. It weighs so little that even a few inches of it can be whisked off the sidewalk with a broom.
Studies have shown that the fluffiest snow typically occurs with light winds and temperatures in the teens. Strong wind tends to smash snowflakes as they land, allowing them to pack closer together; and snow crystals are usually smaller at temperatures below the teens, and they too pack more tightly.
The fluffiness of snow is not directly measured, but it's easy to determine: Simply divide the snow depth by its meltwater equivalent. For example, as measured at Midway Airport on Jan. 15, 1976, 1.9 inches of snow yielded only 0.02 inch of water, for a snow-to-water ratio of 95-to-1. Normal snow has a 12-to-1 ratio.

Yes, there is a slight difference (although it appears there's no complete consensus on this).
A classifier, in linguistics (not just in Mandarin), is a word or morpheme used to express that a countable noun belongs to a semantic class. Here "semantic class" means a category of referents with some common traits; if we think about how classifiers work in Chinese, this is easy to understand.
For example, the classifier 条 is used for long, narrow and flexible objects. So when we say:
we are implying that the fish belongs to a class of things that, more or less, share the same properties: long, narrow and flexible. That is the semantic class, and that's why the classifier is called classifier.
Therefore, by using a different classifier, we offer a different classification of that object. When we say:
we are conveying that fish belongs to the category, or class, of things that go in "groups" (in "schools" actually!!!).
Now, English does have measure words: these are mostly nouns with their own meaning that work as units of measurement for mass nouns, which are not countable. They come in the form
a something of . Let's consider the word water. In English we can't count it ("one water", "two waters"). So when we need to quantify a certain amount of water, we have to use a word that describes a precise unit of measurement, for example:
a drop of water
a liter of water
an ocean of water
This definition of measure words works in Chinese too. The difference being that in Chinese there are classifiers proper and measure words. So what's actually the difference?
Classifiers are not standalone words, they don't have meaning on their own; and as in English, they still can't accompany mass nouns (consider 两个水 vs 两升水)
Measure words are words with a precise meaning, which can also work as units of measurement; and they can accompany mass nouns.
Her and Hsieh, On the Semantic Distinction between Classifiers and
Measure Words in Chinese propose also the following definitions, based on tests to appraise whether a certain counter word is a classifier or a measure word:
Classifiers classify or categorize nouns by highlighting some salient or inherent properties of the noun and thus contribute no additional meaning.
Measure words, on the other hand, play a substantive role in denoting the quantity of the entity named by the noun.
So, saying 一条鱼 does not add new information to what we already know about a fish. A fish is inherently a long and flexible object (mostly; an inflated puffer fish maybe is not "long"). Hence, 条 is a classifier proper. Whereas saying 一箱鱼 does add new information, we are saying that the fish comes in crates, where fish, in itself, doesn't inherently come in crates. Hence, in this example 箱 is a measure word.
In conclusion, classifiers proper stress the existence of an essential feature of the counted noun, whereas measure words stress a transient, not inherent (accidental) numerical feature.

Balance and adjust the number of posts
Depending on the Cycle Time and different Takt Time, we will be able to balance and adjust the number of operators on manual stations. There is 11 positions.
The overall cycle time for all of these positions is 868 seconds.
The theoretical calculation of the number of operators for the different takt time is as follows :
- High season : Takt = 2mn 36s soit 156s —> 868 / 156 = 5.5 so 6 operators
- Average season : Takt = 3mn 15s soit 195s —> 868 / 195 = 4.5 so 5 operators
- Low season : Takt = 4mn 20s soit 260s —> 868 / 260 = 3.3 so 4 operators
The assembly line is linear, and a length of at least 40m, balancing can be done only on contiguous positions. It is thus not possible to use the theoretical calculation.
The various balances are the following :
The number of operators, according to seasonality is from 8 to 5.

LONDON: A new study has revealed that the use of an ordinary light bulb in your room can help hackers to eavesdrop on your conversations.
The study is conducted by researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Weizmann Institute of Science. The research talks about a side-channel attack named 'Lamphone,' that allows hackers to spy on sound with the help of a remote electro-optical sensor.
This sensor helps analyze a hanging light bulb's frequency response to sound. Researchers state that Lamphone attack by hackers helps them recover human speech and singing from 25 meters away in case there's a hanging light bulb somewhere near.
Moreover, human speech can be identified by Google Cloud Speech API, and singing can be identified via Shazam and SoundHound.
The study states that fluctuations in the air pressure on the surface of the hanging bulb cause the bulb to vibrate very slightly which is further exploited by eavesdroppers to recover speech and singing.
To analyze this response of a hanging bulb to the sound, they used an electro-optical sensor and learned how to isolate the audio signal from the optical signal. They also developed an algorithm to recover sound from the optical measurements obtained from the vibrations of a light bulb that was captured by the sensor.

Is there any way to concentrate the magnetic field of magnets like a bar magnet at a point?
Permeable (ferrous/ ferromagnetic) materials can guide magnetic flux to a point, but magnetism works better with area. The only way I can think of "concentrating" magnetic flux is to create a coil of wire with electricity flowing through it. Permanent magnets have a set flux strength. They will never get stronger (by themselves), but they could lose flux strength over time and under certain conditions.
No, if you had a universe with just one magnet in it, there would always be a magnetic field at every point in space no matter what you did.

Forest Therapy
Nature Based Therapy
Forest Therapy is a nature based therapy or treatment intervention designed to support people with specific needs. It is grounded in the Forest Bathing practise of sensory connection through immersion in the forest atmosphere. A Forest Therapist works in partnership with healthcare professionals to create and design therapeutic nature based programmes.
Forest Therapy can be a supportive, complementary therapy for many different populations. Nature Interventions and Green Prescriptions can be designed for Wellness, Stress Management, Rehabilitation, Mental Health and Cancer Patients. It is a guided practise to enhance physical, mental and social wellbeing of the group. Each programme or course is precisely tailored to meet clients requirements.
Participants are given the tools to develop their stress management skills. Forest Therapy increases a sense of purpose through nature connectedness, leading to enhanced self awareness. This in turn improves individuals mood, reduces anxiety and empowers them with better emotional control. Knock on effects include more energy, higher levels of focus and creativity, more meaningful engagement in activities and higher self esteem. Many trees give off organic compounds called phytoncides,which increases our NK (natural killer cells ) which increase our white blood cells, helping to fight disease and infections.

Background and objectiveLight scattering from collagen within skin limits light-based therapeutics while increasing the risk of epidermal thermal injury. Specific chemicals show the ability to reduce light scattering by reversibly altering the optical properties of skin. This study examines the correlation between collagen solubility and the optical clearing potential (OCP) of sugars and sugar-alcohols using in vitro rodent skin.
Materials and methodsCollagen solubility in dextrose, fructose, sucrose, and sorbitol was measured using near-UV spectroscopy. Light transmittance, reflectance, and rodent skin thickness were measured (giving skin reduced scattering coefficient) before and after exposure of the dermal surface to sugars and sugar-alcohols. OCP was calculated as the ratio of reduced scattering coefficients before and after exposures.
ResultsDextrose, fructose, sucrose, and sorbitol had at least twice the collagen solubility and twice the OCP as compared to glycerol. In general, collagen solubility correlated with each agent's ability to optically clear rodent skin.
ConclusionThese results demonstrate that sugar and sugar-alcohol interaction with collagen are a primary event in tissue optical clearing.

Which is mathematically synonymous with:
(silence)(frog splash!) = old pond
old pond/frog splash! = silence
What we have done is to integrate the break of silence with the frog splash to define the old pond. Or the (the break of) silence is defined as the old pond divided by frog splash Furthermore we could also read it as the old pond divided by frog splash! Defines (the break of) silence.
I realize that I have added my own interpretation to El Konde's intention of 'silence' in his poem by redefining'silence' as 'the break of silence' but I think it is arguable that Basho was talking about the break in silence as opposed to silence itself. I believe my addition makes El Konde's version much more clear.
Now let's look at Bobs change to El Konde's Poem and its mathematical synonyms:
silence / frog splash! = old pond
silence / old pond = frog splash!
(frog splash!) (old pond) = silence
So what Bob expresses by his change is that the break of silence is defined by the integration of frog splash! and old pond or that the old pond is defined by the break of silence per frog splash and last but not least … frog splash is defined by the break of silence per old pond
Now that we have broke it down, you the reader can make your own decision on what version makes the most sense to you.
Note: (Bob's intention may have been to think of'silence' standing as itself, not as 'break in silence', but I doubt it especially since he has ignored it altogether in his new poem)
In conclusion lets look at Bob's Mathemaku for Basho:
(pond)(frog) = (((((((haiku)))))))
So it shows that Bob is consistent with multiplying pond and frog but he has 'defined haiku' as opposed to defining 'the break in silence'.
By putting parenthesis around the word haiku he has incorporated a vispo technique in his mathematical poem to imply splashing water waves.
So much for evolution,

German Named the Second Most Commonly Spoken Language in North Dakota
Other than English, Spanish is the second most common language spoken in the United States. However, North Dakota stands out as one of the seven states with a different language as their second most commonly used.
Residents with German descent make up 44% of North Dakota's population, followed by Norwegian descent at 30%. With that information, it makes sense that German is the language most used behind English.
The six other states with a language more commonly spoken than Spanish are:
- Louisiana - French
- Maine - French
- Vermont - French
- New Hampshire - French
- Hawaii - Tagalog
- AlaskaYupik
Like any other state, North Dakota is made up of a wide variety of people. The most popular languages spoken from other descents include:
- Kru, Ibo, Yoruba

Species: Queen of the Andes (Puya raimondii)
Status: Endangered (EN)
Interesting Fact: The Queen of the Andes may take as long as 80 to 150 years to flower and will only flower once before dying.
The Queen of the Andes is best known for its spectacular flower spike, which can reach up to 10 metres high. These spikes bear over 8,000 whitish-green blooms, which turn purple with age. The Queen of the Andes is a monocarpic species, meaning that it will die after flowering for the first time. These plants produce as many as 8 to 12 million seeds, but if conditions are not suitable few seeds will survive to germination. This means that a plant that is more than a century old may never actually reproduce successfully. The Queen of the Andes grows in the harsh, high-altitude environment of the Andes in Peru and Bolivia. This highly adapted species produces an anti-freeze chemical in its sap to survive freezing temperatures.
Today, the Queen of the Andes has an extremely fragmented distribution. Vegetation destruction, grazing by livestock, fires, and the introduction of exotic species all threaten this species. The Andean region is regarded as a priority for plant conservation, meaning action is urgently required to preserve this unique ecosystem and its important vegetation.

This reconstruction shows how the Ivory Bangle Lady may have looked
Archaeologists have revealed the remains of what they say was a "high status" woman of African origin who lived in York during Roman times.
Academics say the discovery goes against the common assumption that all Africans in Roman Britain were low status male slaves.
Remains of the Ivory Bangle Lady, as she has been named, were studied in Reading using forensic techniques.
She was first discovered in the Bootham area of York in August 1901.
Her remains were in a stone coffin near Sycamore Terrace in the city.
Her grave dates back to the second half of the 4th Century. She was buried with items including jet and elephant ivory bracelets, earrings, beads and a blue glass jug.
She also had a rectangular piece of bone, which is thought to have originally been mounted in a wooden box, which was carved to read, "Hail, sister, may you live in God'.
Bracelets of ivory and jet were among the woman's grave goods
The grave goods and skeletal remains of the Ivory Bangle Lady were studied by the archaeology department of the University of Reading.
The university's Dr Hella Eckardt said a study of the skull's size and facial features along with analysis of the chemical signature of the food and drink she had consumed led to their conclusion that she was of high status and of African origin.
Dr Eckardt said: "Multi-cultural Britain is not just a phenomenon of more modern times.
"Analysis of the 'Ivory Bangle Lady' and others like her, contradicts common popular assumptions about the make up of Roman-British populations as well as the view that African immigrants in Roman Britain were of low status, male and likely to have been slaves."
The Ivory Bangle Lady will feature in an exhibition about the diversity of the population of Roman York at the Yorkshire Museum in August.

MEXICO — Students from the Oswego County BOCES Public Safety and Justice program, Nursing Assistant program and the three New Vision programs participated in a ground school training session with Mercy Flight Central, a non-profit air medical transportation service.
Pilot Dan Tanton, Flight Paramedic Bob Breese, and Flight Nurse Yuri Pashchuk arrived via helicopter at the campus in Mexico and spoke to high school juniors and seniors about the benefits of air medical transportation, their individual roles as part of a critical care response team, and the services they are equipped to provide aboard the aircraft. "We bring the hospital," the crew said as they explained how they are an extension of the care that EMS crews are able to provide.
In addition, Mercy Flight Outreach Coordinator Colleen Gleeson joined the training to speak to students about the appropriate utilization of air medical services and what is expected of emergency ground responders to aid with patient transportation. In preparation for the flight's arrival, Gleeson talked to students about the area of approach, exit points, and danger areas of the aircraft for ground responders.
Cadets in the Public Safety and Justice program often have an interest in pursuing professional training in the areas of police science, emergency management and firefighting and often serve as the emergency ground responders responsible for requesting air medical transportation and establishing a safe, secure and well-marked landing zone area for air medical transportation.

- Huobi Research shows CEX saw the most visits in 2022.
- The US, South Korean, and Russian residents top the list of CEX visitors.
- Unique visitors on centralized crypto exchanges dropped by 24% in 2022.
Huobi Research released a "2022-2023 Global Crypto Industry Overview and Trends" detailing the number of centralized and decentralized exchange users across several countries. The research concerns data from 100 centralized exchanges (CEX) considering metrics such as users, trading depth, trading volume, and reliability.
What the Research Said
According to Huobi's research, United States, South Korean, and Russian residents account for the most frequent users of centralized exchanges. Similarly, these three countries account for 22% of all visits to CEX for cryptocurrencies.
The data breakdown shows that the United States leads with 9%. It has the absolute number of crypto users generating centralized exchange traffic. South Korea followed the US at 7.4% and Russia at 6.1%. Other countries that top the chart include Turkey and Japan, with 5.6% and 3.8%, respectively.
Furthermore, the drivers of CEX usage vary within these countries. For instance, in South Korea and Japan, the driver includes high unemployment and an increase in housing prices. These conditions have made young individuals seek solace in crypto investments. As for countries like Russia, the Western sanction and hyperinflation in Turks remain the main driver for CEX visits.
However, the number of unique visitors to centralized exchanges dropped by 24%. Significantly, the number of new users stood at 194 million in 2021 and dropped to 25 million in 2022.
Importance of Centralized Exchanges
One of the highlights of the Huobi research is the importance of CEX. The report's authors emphasized that centralized exchanges are important in cryptocurrency.
They also said CEX is user-friendly and a good starting point for crypto novices. The report added that most of the users and liquidity in the crypto market are aggregated in centralized exchanges.
The Huobi report revealed a decline in the overall market size of CEXs in 2022— compared to 2021. The report attributes this decline to the crypto winter and how it dampens investors' confidence. The authors said, " The continuous gloomy market condition and the depreciating assets are depressing existing users."
Furthermore, the researchers highlighted the FTX collapse, one of the largest centralized exchanges. They consider it "the incident of the year since entering the bear market." It revealed that the FTX crisis had necessitated the tightening of regulations on CEX. The regulations cut across on-chain activities.
Similarly, CEX is now obligated to publicize its proof of funds or is expected to maintain a certain amount in reserve.
Significantly, the countries with the largest number of CEX visitors are rolling out regulatory frameworks. For instance, the US president, Joe Biden, signed an executive order for the responsible development of digital assets.
Similarly, Russia has started working on expanding its legal framework for cryptocurrency, while South Korea recently passed the right crypto-related regulations.

As mentioned a few weeks ago, we compiled a quick guide on how to implement your translation in Prison Architect via modding.
What do I need to make a mod?
A Prison Architect mod is composed of a subfolder to the "mods" folder in the game files. This folder is located at the following address:
Within the subfolder of your mod, you need to make sure there are the following items:
- A text document called manifest.txt
- A thumbnail in .png format
- A subfolder named data
The manifest.txt file is the description of your mod for the game. Basically, you are telling the game what your mod is about. It needs to have the following format:
Name "Name of the mod" Author "Your name/nickname" Description "Description" Version v1.0 Date DD/MM/YYYY URL LINK
The data folder contains your mod – this is where the actual content is.
For a localization mod, you need to retrieve the localization files from the folder where you installed the game. If you use Steam, it is in the /Steamapps/Prison Architect folder by default.
Once you get there, you need to extract the main.dat using a data compressing program – we used Winrar while preparing this guide. Once you open main.dat, you will see the Data folder. If you open it, you will finally get access to the language files.
You need to copy the .txt files from there to your mod folder.
Once you have done this, you can open the text files and start translating!
Ok, my translation is done, how do I check it and share with others?
To check your mod, you need to activate it within the game.
To do so, you need to open the main menu and select "Extra". This will open the Extra menu, where you will be able to select "Mods".
On the left-hand side of the screen, you will see a list of all the mods installed on your pc.
To test your mod, you need to tick the box next to it, and then select "Apply at the bottom of the screen. The game will reload with your mod applied.
To share your mod, you can select your mod in the Mod menu and then press the "Publish Mod" folder on the bottom right of the screen. You will also see that there is a "Is this a translation to another language?" box, make sure to select it! Once your mod is uploaded, its name will become green.
Good luck with your modding, and don't forget that our community created plenty of guides and material to help you in case you are still struggling with modding, like the in-depth articles on the official wiki!

The month of January saw the highest number of rainy days in one month on record in Israel, according figures from the Israel Meteorological Service.
Rain fell on 29 out of 31 days in January, defined by the Meteorological Service as registering at least 0.1 millimeters of rainfall.
After a careful comparison of January statistics from measuring stations across Israel, the Meteorological Service found that in most of the northern part of the country there were at least 26 days of rainfall, compared to the previous record of 25 in January 1947.
In Nahariyya, and in the Galilee region, there were 29 rainy days. This is higher than past records. January 1969 saw 24 days of rainfall, as did February 1992. These years saw some of the highest levels of rainfall since records began.

Comparison of the Navy Working Capital Fund and mission funding as applied to Navy shipyards [electronic resource] /
Abstract (Summary)The dramatic political and economic events, both globally and within the United States, during the early 1990s led to significant changes to the Navy shipyard organizational structure. As part of the Navy maintenance regionalization and consolidation program, the financial management system used to manage these commands has been changed. Specifically, the Navy has shifted two of its four shipyards, with authorization to shift the other two in FY07, from the Navy Working Capital Fund to mission funding through direct congressional appropriations. This funding shift has raised questions about the advantages and disadvantages each financial system provides shipyards, the operating differences that occur due to the funding change, and the future financial consequences of funding Navy shipyards using direct appropriations. This thesis identifies the advantages and disadvantages of the Navy Working Capital Fund and the mission funding model in the context of a Navy shipyard environment and determines whether the change in financial structure provides an overall benefit that should be pursued for all shipyards.

Honeycomb Amber Pendant
Honeycomb Amber Pendant
 - £6490
A lovely elongated cognac Amber gemstone, decorated with a honeycomb pattern in silver on one side and on the bale. It comes complete with an 18 inch silver chain.
Amber is the fossilised resin of ancient pine trees. Our Amber comes from the Baltic region and was formed during the Eocene geological period, about 44 million years ago, when the Baltic region was experiencing a semi -tropical climate. As the resin seeped from the trees it began to solidify on the tree bark or fell to the forest floor, often being carried to the sea by streams. This is why originally much Amber was found washed up on the beaches.
A birthstone for Aries and Leo, it is said to promote courage, vitality and personal growth.
Weight excluding chain: 5.7 grams Stone size : 3cm x 1.4cm

Generally, barley uses moisture more efficiently than other cereals. As a result, it can grow without irrigation in many cases. However, almost 50% of the commercial barley farms in dry areas are irrigated. When a low seeding rate has been selected, probably the plants won't maintain moisture, as vegetative growth often increases (1).
Water needs in different growth stages of barley
Barley plants need at least 100 mm (4 inches) and, more often, 125 mm (5 inches) of water from germination to reproductive growth stage to produce grain. The needs for water during vegetative growth vary depending on the environmental temperatures. For example, plants need more moisture for transpiration during a warm, dry spring than in a cool one (2).
As a cool-season crop, barley grows best in temperatures around 20 °C or 68 °F . This happens because, at this range, the plant can use more moisture available in the soil for vegetative crop growth than for transpiration.
Cereal crops, such as barley, use approximately 2 to 3 mm/day of water or 0.078 to 0.11 in of water at the tillering stage, while they need a little more (about 3 to 5 mm/day of water or 0.11 to 0.19 in/day) at the stem elongation stage. When the environmental temperature exceeds 25 °C or 77 °F, the plant needs the most moisture (5 mm/day or 0.19 in/day). In one week, barley will use about 20 to 35 mm of water or 0.787 to 1.377 in of water at the stem elongation growth stage, depending on other environmental conditions such as humidity levels, solar radiation, temperature, and wind. During the heading stage of barley, often in early July, water use is increased to 7-8 mm/day or 0.27 to 0.31 in/day (under ideal conditions). Peak water use is crucial for barley plants from mid-June to late July or early August. Significant reductions in yields can take place if, during this period, moisture is not at a desirable level. During the stage of reproductive growth, water needs and use remain high. After the heading stage, barley will keep using 7 to 8 mm/day of water or 0.27 to 0.31 in/day until the stage of flowering and grain filling (under ideal growth conditions). As grains fill, water use declines and decreases sharply as plants reach maturity. Some interesting findings show that under optimum environmental conditions, for each 25 mm (1 inch) of water used, barley will produce from 5 to 7 bushels/acre or 0.34 to 0.47 tonnes/hectare (2).
All the information mentioned above is just some general guidelines that should not be followed without doing your research. There are no two identical fields in the world; thus, nobody can advise you on fertilization methods without considering your soil's test data, tissue analysis, and field history.
Barley Irrigation Requirements and Methods

If you spend much time in the British countryside, it's likely you'll be familiar with the pungent aroma lingering in the air after a farmer has been out muck-spreading – often ironically referred to as 'that fresh country air', it's the by-product of the natural cow-poo, or slurry, our farmers (among others) use as fertiliser. However, a growing number of our farmers are using more environmentally-friendly spreading techniques and in doing so, helping to reclaim the idea of 'fresh country air' and making it altogether sweeter smelling.
Limited-edition room fragrance
To help people smell the benefits of these increasingly used muck-spreading techniques, we've created a new limited-edition room fragrance, recreating the sweet yet earthy aroma of our farmers' country meadows… without the added element of pungent poo! Created in partnership with fragrance experts CPL Aromas, the scent is a refreshing blend of grasses, nettles, tree sap and a gentle sweetness of straw and is available as a reed diffuser to gently bring the new definition of 'fresh country air' into homes around the UK.
Environmentally friendly techniques
This comes as more of our dairy farmers are exploring alternative forms of spreading the nutrient-rich slurry across their land. These environmentally friendly techniques reduce the amount of ammonia and other smelly gasses escaping into the air, as is the case with the traditional 'spreading' method.
Instead, techniques such as dribble bars or even injecting the slurry directly into the ground with specialist equipment can lead to a reduction in air-born emissions of between 30 and 90 per cent*, which makes a noticeable difference to the smell of the air around the farms. These alternative techniques also have additional environmental benefits as they place the slurry directly onto or into the ground, leading the nutrients within it to be pulled further into the soil, enriching it with nitrogen and also stopping nitrous oxide from being leaked into the atmosphere.
A view from an Arla Farmer and Ben Fogle
One Arla farmer exploring these alternative techniques is Jason Bayley, he says: "Manure handling typically contributes towards a dairy farm's emissions, so anything we can do to reduce that amount by using alternative ways to spread the nutrient-rich manure across the land, then it feels like an obvious option to explore. I must also say, even though I'm used to the smell of manure after all these years, I do notice it's fresher around the fields when the slurry has been put directly into the ground!"
We've also been joined on this journey by Ben Fogle, the well-known countryside Broadcaster, who visited Jason's farm to find out more: "While that whiff of cow poo in the air after muck spreading takes me back to day trips out with my family as a kid, I must admit the benefits of these more environmentally-friendly methods do more than make up for the loss in nostalgia. It's great to know that the agricultural community is always looking at ways to become more sustainable."
The potential impact such on-farm changes can have on the environment is why we're helping our farmers monitor and share best practice on their collective journey to carbon net zero. As we share vital information and learnings on this and other sustainability initiatives with all our 2,400 UK farmers, we're helping to make the fresh country air even fresher for everyone.


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.

welcome to the community
It seems like you're facing a challenge when dealing with longer lists of data and trying to structure it into a data table using the GPT model through the API. The issue you mentioned, with the response indicating that the table continues, might be due to token limitations in the model's response.
To address this, you can modify your code to handle longer lists by dividing them into smaller chunks and processing them sequentially. Here's a general approach:
def create_data_table(data_list):
# Split the data into chunks of manageable size
chunk_size = 10 # Adjust this based on your requirements
chunks = [data_list[i:i+chunk_size] for i in range(0, len(data_list), chunk_size)]
# Initialize an empty result string
result = ""
# Iterate through chunks and generate responses
for i, chunk in enumerate(chunks):
 # Format the chunk into a message for GPT
 message = f"Create a data table with the following rows:\n{', '.join(chunk)}"
 # Make an API call
 response = ask_gpt_question(message, "Create a data table with the following rows:")
 # Extract content from the response
 parsed_text = response.strip()
 # Append the parsed text to the result

I'm new, it's good to know that you explain how to use chatgpt
The issue which you are facing is this model not having the "lazy" fixed in it. It will do just about everything possible to terminate output at around 800 tokens from its supervised training.
If you have a task that clearly should not stop mid-output, thus taking your money, I would use a full and real GPT-4 model, such as gpt-4-0613. This is also likely a task that gpt-3.5-turbo-0301 could also complete without devolving into an incomplete output that tells you to do the rest yourself or acts like it is only writing an example output.

Helping Individuals Have Opportunities for Health and Wellness
View the Community Health Initiative Plan View Members of the Health Advisory Council
In order to determine the most important areas in which to focus their community plan to most directly improve overall health and wellness in Chippewa and Eau Claire counties, the Health Advisory Council (HAC) began by reviewing information available from Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 for twelve identified health priority areas in the state. Needs assessments and survey data provided by area hospitals, city and county health departments, United Way, and several other agencies and organizations in the Chippewa Valley were also considered. Presentations were also made by local experts and practitioners in the field.
After in-depth discussions of the key issues during a structured prioritization process, the HAC reached consensus on narrowing its focus to four priority areas: Mental Health, Alcohol & Other Drug Use, Injury & Violence, and Chronic Disease Prevention & Management. Workgroups were established and the members are currently in the process of drafting a plan for each area. Preliminary thoughts from the workgroups are as follows:
Mental Health:
Affordable access to mental health care should be available in the Chippewa Valley so individuals and families can use it when needed. For that to happen, increased collaboration is needed. The entire community would be targeted in terms of awareness, education, and prevention efforts, with special priority for those living below 200% of federal poverty guidelines. This plan strives to improve mental health services in the Chippewa Valley by:
 1. Improving collaboration between mental health providers and the medical community;
 2. Improving access and availability of quality mental health care services;
 3. Increasing community understanding about the prevalence of mental illness in society;
 4. Raising awareness and use of crisis lines and other referral services in the community; and
 5. Increasing use of mental health care services.
Alcohol Use
High rates of alcohol use are prevalent in the Chippewa Valley and should be reduced. The problem affects people of all ages and from many demographic backgrounds, but special focus should target at-risk groups in the group from 12-34 years of age. The concerns of misuse are related to underage drinkers (primarily ages 10-17), excessive users (i.e., binge drinkers and heavy drinkers in the 18-25 age group), women of childbearing years and pregnant women, and individuals who drive vehicles while under the influence of alcohol. This plan's projected outcomes will see alcohol misuse decrease among 12-34 year olds by:
 1. Raising awareness that alcohol can be harmful to a person's health;
 2. Increasing the community's understanding of how the "culture of drinking" affects people's lives in many ways;
 3. Starting to drink alcohol at age 21 or after, if at all;
 4. Learning to drink alcohol in moderation and a low-risk manner; and
 5. Promoting alcohol-free social and recreational activities.
Injury & Violence
All victims of intimate partner violence (also called domestic violence) should have access to comprehensive services. As a result of such efforts, the number of incidences should decrease for those victims and their children. Through this plan, adult victims of intimate partner violence and their children will:
 1. Be better able to plan for their safety;
 2. Learn ways to keep themselves safe;
 3. Know more about the options, choices and resources available to them overall;
 4. Become aware of how crisis and trauma affect their lives;
 5. Learn skills to help them deal more effectively with their concerns; and
 6. Develop strategies to cope and manage their emotions.
Chronic Disease
The working poor, the uninsured, and underinsured people living in the Chippewa Valley should have opportunities for attaining a good quality of life, especially in terms of their health. Obesity is a significant concern in our society because it can lead to other chronic diseases and illnesses. Improvement of individual health behaviors, reduction in modifiable risk factors, and access to clinical care are key factors in addressing chronic disease issues, with first priority given to individuals and families below 200% of federal poverty guidelines. This plan strives for individuals practicing healthy behaviors to prevent and/or delay the onset of obesity by:
 1. Improving their diet through increased consumption of fruits and vegetables;
 2. Increasing their participation in physical activity;
 3. Decreasing consumption of sugar drinks;
 4. Decreasing consumption of high-energy-dense foods that are high in calories;
 5. Increasing their knowledge about risk factors associated with obesity and other chronic diseases; and
 6. Accessing quality health care for regular check-ups and treatment.


weight is more than 10. Please see the section on determining the weight of a edge for more information.
closed sets
A closed set is a list of designators surrounded by curly brackets. It can only appear on the right of a relation, for example (^ CASE) = {NOM ACC}, (^ CASE) $ {NOM ACC}, and (^ CASE) << {NOM ACC}. The constraint (^ CASE) = {NOM ACC} is similar to having NOM $ (^ CASE) and ACC $ (^ CASE), except that it also specifies that the set can have no other elements in it (hence the name "closed"). You can test whether an element is in a closed set using constraints like DAT $ (^ CASE). This will fail immediately if (^ CASE) is a closed set and DAT cannot be unified with any of its elements. If a set can be either open or closed, you can test for set membership using DAT $c (^ CASE). This will also fail immediately if (^ CASE) is a closed set and DAT cannot be unified with any of its elements. It will fail eventually from incompleteness if (^ CASE) is an open set and DAT is never added to it.
Closed sets have an implicit narrow-scope disjunction. For instance, if the verb tests the CLASS of the SUBJ using the following constraint:
(^ SUBJ CLASS) $ {CL1 CL2}
and CLASS is not a non-distributive attribute, then if the SUBJ is coordinated, the membership test gets distributed. In particular, the following constraints are consistent with the membership test:
%N1 $ (^ SUBJ)
%N2 $ (^ SUBJ)
(%N1 CLASS) = CL1
(%N2 CLASS) = CL2
This would not be true if the disjunction were explicit:
{(^ SUBJ CLASS) = CL1 | (^ SUBJ CLASS) = CL2}
d\a denotes a restricted version of the f-structure denoted by d (cf. Kaplan and Wedekind 1993). This restricted f-structure is identical to the original f-structure except that it doesn't have the attribute a. For instance, ^\CASE denotes an f-structure identical to ^ except that it cannot have the CASE attribute. ^\A\B denotes the same f-structure as ^\B\A.
If the attribute a is governable and a is in the list of governable attributes for d, then a will not be in the list of governable attributes for d\a. If a is governable and a is not in the list of governable attributes for d\a, then a will be in the list of governable attributes for d. This means that a constraint like!\SUBJ\OBJ = ^\SUBJ\OBL-AGT takes the governable attributes of!, subtracts SUBJ and OBJ from them to get the governable attributes for!\SUBJ\OBJ, and then adds SUBJ and OBL-AGT to them to get the governable attributes for ^. This can be useful as part of a syntactic rule for passivization, such as:
 (! OBJ) = (^ SUBJ)
 (! SUBJ) = (^ OBL-AGT)
 {(! SUBJ) = NULL}
 (^ PASSIVE)=+
 (! PASSIVE)=-;
This is similar in effect to the lexical rewrite rules:
(^ OBJ) --> (^ SUBJ)
{ (^ SUBJ) --> (^ OBL-AGT)
|(^ SUBJ) --> NULL}
except that!\SUBJ\OBJ = ^\SUBJ\OBL-AGT doesn't require there to be an OBL-AGT in ^ (it just allows it). Note that there are very few ways that the passivation rule can be written using restriction. If you mimic the structure of the lexical rule such that the disjunction includes (! SUBJ) = (^ OBL-AGT) then you get unexpected results. Also, using {(! PRED ARG1) = NULL} fails. The only variation that works is using {(^ OBJ) = NULL}.
Restriction can also be used to add governable attributes to an f-structure, although it is not possible to add arguments to an existing PRED semantic value. For instance, if you wanted a mono-clausal f-structure for a light verb construction, you would still need a bi-clausal semantic structure. This could be done using the following grammar fragment:
 VP -> {V "regular verb construction"
(NP: (^ OBJ)=!)
(NP: (^ OBJ2)=!)
(PPobl: (^ OBL-BY)=! (! PCASE)=by)
| LV "light verb construction"
VP: "^ equals! except for SUBJ and PRED"
"the SUBJ becomes an OBJ2"
"the PRED becomes an argument of the light verb"
(! SUBJ) = (^ OBJ2)
(! PRED) = (^ PRED ARG2);
(NP: (^ OBJ2)=!)
let LV * (^ PRED)='let<(^ SUBJ) %ARG2>'
"%ARG2 will be filled in with the lower predicate".
This grammar fragment will create a single f-structure where the SUBJ of the main verb becomes the OBJ2 of the light verb's f-structure. The PRED of the light verb has two arguments: the SUBJ and the PRED of the main verb.
In general, both variables involved in a restricted equality are included in the XLE output. However, if there is a restricted equality between ^ and!, then XLE will suppress the contents of!. Also, if a governable attribute is equal to NULL, then the governable attribute is not displayed.
Propositions are elementary formulas in the functional description language that assert properties of f-structures and other projections. These propositions are true or false of a model consisting of a structure and an assignment of the variables in the proposition to the elements of that structure. The formulas involve a fixed set of predicates and relations as detailed below. These predicates and relations are asserted of arbitrary designators d1, d2, and d.
truth value
These are the truth-value constants that provide a grounding for the logical system. They do not commonly appear in grammatical specifications, but they may arise in the course of grammatical analysis and show up in some of XLE's output displays. They may also be useful in the invocation of functional templates as described below.
d1 = d2
d1 =c d2
The equality predicates are true if d1 and d2 denote exactly the same entity. The difference between the defining equality and the constraining equality =c is that the latter is true only if the equality is implied by all the defining propositions in the functional description. Technically, this is a slightly stronger condition than the one given in Kaplan and Bresnan (1982) because it requires that the constraining equality be true of all extensions of the minimal model, whereas Kaplan and Bresnan only imposed the constraint on the minimal model alone. The letter c (which may be in upper or lower case) must appear immediately next to the =, with no intervening white-space. If d2 is a symbol designator, there must be white-space between it and the preceding c. Thus, (^ SPECIES)=COW is interpreted as a defining equation involving the symbol COW. The proposition must be written as (^ SPECIES)=C OW to obtain a constraining equality on the symbol OW.
set membership
d1 $ d2
The membership predicate is true if d2 denotes a set and d1 denotes one of its elements. This, for example, is used for assigning adjuncts to the adjunct set: ! $ (^ ADJUNCT). It is also used in coordination to make each conjunct a member of a set:! $ ^.
existential constraint
A designator standing by itself is true if the designator has a denotation in the minimal structure satisfying the defining propositions in the f-description. It makes no sense to assert an existential constraint of a symbol or semantic-form designator, since these always have a denotation. XLE therefore issues an error message when it encounters such a constraint. This is usually symptomatic either of a conceptual confusion or of a notational mistake elsewhere in the f-description. An example of an existential constrain would be to require all sentences to be tensed:
 VP: (^ TENSE).
functional and abstract category constraints
The CAT predicate specifies conditions on units of f-structure or other projections that hold by virtue of the nodes that those units correspond to. The CAT predicate is defined in terms of the inverses of structural correspondences, and a CAT proposition is satisfied if and only if the entity denoted by the designator d is a projection of at least one node whose category is in 'categories'. If d denotes an f-structure, then
@(CAT d categories) iff there is some n in phi-1(d) such that category(n) $ categories.
As with abstract precedence, if d involves a composition of other correspondences and thus denotes an element in some other abstract structure, that combination of correspondences is similarly inverted to produce a set of nodes whose categories can be tested.
The CAT predicate permits constraints to be imposed on the categories of the nodes that map to an f-structure without actually copying a category feature into the f-structure (or doing it surreptitiously as Kaplan and Bresnan (1982) did when they used grammatical-function names like VCOMP, ACOMP, and PCOMP). Asserting contraints by means of this correspondence-based predicate maintains the essential modularity of c-structure and f-structure properties while still allowing for limited and controlled interactions to be expressed.

Disorientation and spatial abilities performance
Proceedings, 6th International Space Syntax Symposium, Istanbul, 2007
Author: Christian Beros Space Syntax Ltd; The Bartlett School of Graduate Studies, UCL.
This paper investigates the relation of Spatial Configuration with Orientation Performance of the individual in Urban Navigation. Spatial Orientation is defined as a function of the mind involving 'awareness of place' in the environment, and is a key aspect of Navigation in terms of maintaining a sense of where the subject is relative to its goal as it is moving. The aim of this paper is to shed light on Spatial Orientation performance and how it is linked to configurational and syntactical properties of space. This topic is intrinsic in the Space Syntax theory due its fundamental relation between spatiality and human activity.
The discussion is developed by the research findings and theories of Navigation, Wayfinding and Spatial Cognition, putting forward varied interpretations related with the research topic and the selected areas. The paper concludes that the Spatial Orientation in Soho and Covent Garden is determined by the Spatial Configuration of the area and that the navigation system used in Central London is mainly Path Integration rather than Piloting or Landmark Recognition System. Then, it is argued that Landmarks act as primary organizers of spatial features in cognitive maps, followed by an environmental knowing and understanding of the Spatial Configuration that is translated in Path Integration.

I had the opportunity to compare the same build of Debian Linux running on two different NB10s. Both were otherwise identical (same RAM, disk, installation). The quad-core (N3510) unit arrived with BIOS 1.00, so it was possible to gather statistics on this unit with both the original BIOS, and the latest version at time of testing (1.20).
The full table of results is available in a Google Docs spreadsheet.
Summary of results:
- The quad-core unit uses no extra power at idle.
- BIOS version 1.20 uses approximately 200mW less power than BIOS version 1.00 in all states.
- With two CPU cores fully utilised and two idle, the dual- and quad- core units' power consumption is almost identical.
- With a greater CPU load, the quad-core unit can use more power than the dual-core.
This in itself does not mean that, for a given use case, that the quad-core unit will have a shorter battery life. More CPU power can allow a given operation to complete, and the system (CPUs and disks) to return to idle state, more quickly.
- The difference between minimum and maximum screen brightness is 1.4W.
- These results are with all powertop suggestions enabled. These in total save about a watt – highly significant on a 5W computer.


text: The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential of a game called Star Power to teach professional skills to mechanical engineering undergraduates. The game was conducted as an activity in a final year Professional Practice unit. A survey in the form of a questionnaire was administered to participating students in the following semester of studies after a summer break. The survey showed that the majority of the students believed they had improved their professional skills from playing Star Power. Although the game is typically used in the teaching of sociology, this study demonstrated that the game can provide a rich and versatile setting in which different elements of professional skills that are important to an engineer can be incorporated and developed.

Southern Italy has Watchtowers all along the coast line. Watch the video below for the story about these towers:
Title: Italy – Watchtowers in Southern Italy
Countries: Southern Italy
What are Watchtowers? They are towers usually built of stone high enough to be seen by the next tower along the coast. When Saracens (pirates) were spotted, they would light a fire in the tower to warn everyone along the coast. The next tower would see it and light theirs and so on along the entire coastline. You might say this was the Internet of their time. Some towers had a bell as well that was rung to warn locals of the pirates coming.
The locals would gather their families and valuables and head to their sister town usually high up on a hill. These towns were fortified castle like structures that prevented the pirates from entering.
