text: Cab filtration systems can be used to protect vehicle operators from hazardous air contaminants. In a cab filtration system, a fan draws air through filters and pressurizes the cab with this filtered air. This article describes the application of a low-cost, optical particle counter to evaluate the performance of tractor cab filtration systems. The tractors were equipped with environmental enclosures to protect the operators from pesticide exposures that occur during air blast spraying in orchards. Prior to testing, all environmental tractor cabs underwent a complete maintenance overhaul followed by a careful inspection by the manufacturer's field representative. As part of this maintenance effort, 13 tractors with cab filtration systems were tested in an enclosure. A Met One model 227B two-channel optical particle counter was used to measure the aerosol concentration outside and inside the cab. Ambient aerosol and/or aerosol generated by burning incense sticks were used to challenge the stationary cab filtration system in an enclosure. The ratio of the outside to inside concentration (Co/Ci) is the exposure reduction attained by the cab system. Alternatively, the inside concentration divided by the outside concentration times 100 (Ci/Co x 100) gives the percent penetration. All 13 tractors were tested for leak sites. Leak sites were identified and sealed. This process was repeated until each cab showed an exposure reduction ratio Co/Ci of at least 50 (aerosol penetration into the cab Ci/Co x 100 was less than 2%) at the 0.3-0.5 microm particle size interval.

Healing Wounds in Life
Margit Cathrine Moller
In the realm of physical wound, it is called cicatrisation, is an intricate process in which the skin (or another organ-tissue) repairs itself after injury. It is a wonderful reminder that the human body has the innate capacity to heal itself.
But if the body can do that, how much more the mind and the soul? The soul has a natural capacity to heal and yet we do not tap this gift. The mind has a natural capacity to heal and yet we do not often experience this.
It is because most of us do not know the workings of the mind and the soul. And how these aspects of the self can bring integration and transformation.
What are the essential ingredients of healing?
1. An acknowledgment of the wound. Yes, some people go through life in a state of Denial. They don't own and acknowledge that they have been abused or traumatized. Without this ownership, no healing happens.
2. A desire for healing. It has to be a deep desire to be healed.
3. A belief that healing will happen. In the Catholic tradition, a prayer is said before communion: Lord, I am not worthy but only say the word and I SHALL BE HEALED. Such is the power of faith.
4. An experience of a good process that facilitates healing. This may include counseling, therapy, spiritual healing and others. Professionals are trained to make healing happen. They seek ways to help a person go explore the mind and the soul in order to tap our natural healing capacity.

AutoSplit
split a package for autoloading
AutoSplit - split a package for autoloading
NAME
AutoSplit - split a package for autoloading
SYNOPSIS
 autosplit($file, $dir, $keep, $check, $modtime);
 autosplit_lib_modules(@modules);
DESCRIPTION
This function will split up your program into files that the AutoLoader module can handle. It is used by both the standard perl libraries and by the MakeMaker utility, to automatically configure libraries for autoloading.
The autosplit interface splits the specified file into a hierarchy rooted at the directory $dir. It creates directories as needed to reflect class hierarchy, and creates the file autosplit.ix. This file acts as both forward declaration of all package routines, and as timestamp for the last update of the hierarchy.
The remaining three arguments to autosplit govern other options to the autosplitter.
$keep
If the third argument, $keep, is false, then any pre-existing *.al files in the autoload directory are removed if they are no longer part of the module (obsoleted functions). $keep defaults to 0.
$check
The fourth argument, $check, instructs autosplit to check the module currently being split to ensure that it does include a use specification for the AutoLoader module, and skips the module if AutoLoader is not detected. $check defaults to 1.
$modtime
Lastly, the $modtime argument specifies that autosplit is to check the modification time of the module against that of the autosplit.ix file, and only split the module if it is newer. $modtime defaults to 1.
Typical use of AutoSplit in the perl MakeMaker utility is via the command-line with:
 perl -e 'use AutoSplit; autosplit($ARGV[0], $ARGV[1], 0, 1, 1)'
Defined as a Make macro, it is invoked with file and directory arguments; autosplit will split the specified file into the specified directory and delete obsolete .al files, after checking first that the module does use the AutoLoader, and ensuring that the module is not already currently split in its current form (the modtime test).
The autosplit_lib_modules form is used in the building of perl. It takes as input a list of files (modules) that are assumed to reside in a directory lib relative to the current directory. Each file is sent to the autosplitter one at a time, to be split into the directory lib/auto.
In both usages of the autosplitter, only subroutines defined following the perl __END__ token are split out into separate files. Some routines may be placed prior to this marker to force their immediate loading and parsing.
Multiple packages
As of version 1.01 of the AutoSplit module it is possible to have multiple packages within a single file. Both of the following cases are supported:
 package NAME;
 __END__
 sub AAA { ... }
 package NAME::option1;
 sub BBB { ... }
 package NAME::option2;
 sub BBB { ... }
 package NAME;
 __END__
 sub AAA { ... }
 sub NAME::option1::BBB { ... }
 sub NAME::option2::BBB { ... }
DIAGNOSTICS
AutoSplit will inform the user if it is necessary to create the top-level directory specified in the invocation. It is preferred that the script or installation process that invokes AutoSplit have created the full directory path ahead of time. This warning may indicate that the module is being split into an incorrect path.
AutoSplit will warn the user of all subroutines whose name causes potential file naming conflicts on machines with drastically limited (8 characters or less) file name length. Since the subroutine name is used as the file name, these warnings can aid in portability to such systems.
Warnings are issued and the file skipped if AutoSplit cannot locate either the __END__ marker or a ''package Name;''-style specification.
AutoSplit will also emit general diagnostics for inability to create directories or files.

Cancer detection fell in Scotland during pandemic
About 1,600 fewer people than expected were diagnosed with the three most common cancers during the first nine months of the Covid pandemic.
Public Health Scotland has attempted to work out how restrictions put in place at the start of coronavirus affected diagnosis of the disease.
The statistics show that breast cancer diagnosis was down by 19%, bowel cancer by 25% and lung cancer by 9%.
The data also showed cancer was not being diagnosed at the earliest stages.
This is when treatment is most successful.
Cancer Research UK called for urgent action to prevent progress on cancer survival going backwards.
- Cancer referrals return to pre-pandemic levels
"If swift action isn't taken, our fear is that cancer survival in Scotland could go backwards."
The Covid-19 lockdown at the end of March 2020 led to severe restrictions on hospital appointments and a halt to cancer screening.
The Public Health Scotland report said the biggest drop in cancer diagnoses was in that initial lockdown from April to the end of June last year.
In the remaining months of 2020, the numbers of people diagnosed with breast and lung cancer started to return to pre-pandemic levels, although colorectal (bowel) cancer figures remained well below previous years.
'Urgent action needed'
The PHS report said that during the nine months of the pandemic in 2020 (April-December), there were 2,681 patients diagnosed with breast cancer. This is 635 fewer than the expected 3,316, based on previous years.
For bowel cancer there were 1,958 patients, 647 fewer than expected. Lung cancer was 3,287, 325 fewer.
The statistics show that for breast cancer, there were large falls numbers diagnosed at early stages, with stage 1 down 35% and stage 2 down 15%. In contrast, there were small increases in stages 3 and 4.
For colorectal cancer, there were substantial drops in the numbers diagnosed with stages 1, 2 or 3 and lung cancer also had fewer people diagnosed at early stages.
David Ferguson, from Cancer Research UK in Scotland, said the PHS report reinforced fears that opportunities to diagnose cancer at an early stage were missed during the pandemic.
He said: "Urgent action is needed. Cancer survival wasn't good enough before the pandemic. Too many people are waiting far too long for diagnosis and treatment so this must be addressed."
He called for a "road map" to tackle staff shortages and backlogs.
"If swift action isn't taken, our fear is that cancer survival in Scotland could go backwards," he said.

GEOMETRIC CALIBRATION OF FULL SPHERICAL PANORAMIC RICOH-THETA CAMERA
Keywords: Fisheye Lens, Full Spherical Panorama, Omnidirectional Camera, Network Calibration
Abstract. A novel calibration process of RICOH-THETA, full-view fisheye camera, is proposed which has numerous applications as a low cost sensor in different disciplines such as photogrammetry, robotic and machine vision and so on. Ricoh Company developed this camera in 2014 that consists of two lenses and is able to capture the whole surrounding environment in one shot. In this research, each lens is calibrated separately and interior/relative orientation parameters (IOPs and ROPs) of the camera are determined on the basis of designed calibration network on the central and side images captured by the aforementioned lenses. Accordingly, designed calibration network is considered as a free distortion grid and applied to the measured control points in the image space as correction terms by means of bilinear interpolation. By performing corresponding corrections, image coordinates are transformed to the unit sphere as an intermediate space between object space and image space in the form of spherical coordinates. Afterwards, IOPs and EOPs of each lens are determined separately through statistical bundle adjustment procedure based on collinearity condition equations. Subsequently, ROPs of two lenses is computed from both EOPs. Our experiments show that by applying 3*3 free distortion grid, image measurements residuals diminish from 1.5 to 0.25 degrees on aforementioned unit sphere.

|Title: ||Passive Earth Pressure Coefficients And There Applications In The Uplift Capacity Of Anchors|
|Authors: ||Nayak, Sitaram|
|Advisors: ||Rao, Subba K S|
|Submitted Date: ||Apr-2000|
|Publisher: ||Indian Institute of Science|
|Abstract: ||The problem of passive earth pressure is one of the important topics in Geotechnical engineering. At attempt is made in this thesis to generate passive earth pressure coefficients for general c-Φ soils using logarithmic spiral failure surface by limit equilibrium approach. Method of slices for the determination of passive force in c-Φsoils is presented and the method is extended to a typical problem of two layered soil system. The application of passive earth pressure coefficients has been demonstrated for pullout capacity of inclined strip anchors in sloping ground. A semi-empirical approach for the determination of displacement-related passive earth pressure is presented.
The thesis is organized in seven chapters. In Ch.2, a brief summary of relevant literature is presented along with the scope of the thesis. In Ch. 3, limit equilibrium approach for the determination of the passive earth pressure in soils is presented. The
passive earth pressure coefficients are developed for δ/Φ= - 1, - ¾ , -2/3, - ½, 0, ½, ¾
1; ψ = -60º, -45º, -30º, -20º, -10º, 0º,10º,20º,30º and 45º; i= -30º, -20º, -10º,0º,10º,20º and 30º where δ is the wall friction angle, Φ is the angle of internal friction, Ψ is the
inclination of the wall with the vertical and i is the ground inclination with the horizontal. Ch.4 deals with the method of slices. Satisfying all the three equilibrium conditions and using interstice friction as a variable, passive earth pressure coefficients are obtained for soils. Extension of the method to a two layered soil system is demonstrated by an illustrative example. A generalised approach for the determination of uplift capacity of inclined strip anchors in sloping ground subjected to surcharge is presented in Ch. 5. Expressions are provided for the determination of pullout capacity of deep anchors. Displacement-related passive earth pressure is discussed in Ch. 6. Using the earlier experimental observations on the passive earth pressure measurements with displacements, expressions have been fitted for the determination of displacement-related passive earth pressure for the three modes of rigid body movements viz., translation, rotation about the top and rotation about the bottom. The conclusions drawn from the present investigations are listed in Ch 7.

I'm pretty sure celery is 芹菜. qin2 cai4
I heard people referring to bok choy as qin cai as well, but I believe it was qin1 cai4. Is this correct? When I look up bok choy, it is 白菜 bai2cai4 which sounds phonetically similar to bok choy.

You probably mean qing1 cai4 (青菜). It is used for green vegetables in general, but is also used for Chinese cabbage.
现代汉语规范词典 has this to say: 1. 名 一般指小白菜或油菜。 2. 名 泛指蔬菜。
小白菜 is typically translated as Chinese cabbage or bak choy in dictionaries and also used like this in many places in China, in other places people often mean baby bak choy when they use 小白菜.
_URL_ has this to say:
Baby Pak choi, Shanghai Pak choi, or mei quin choi (Chinese: 上海白菜; pinyin: Shànghǎi báicài; Japanese: 青梗菜, chingensai) refers to greener varieties where the varioles are also green. It is simply a less-mature version that could develop into the white-stemmed variety with more time to grow before being harvested. In Shanghai and other eastern China provinces, it is simply called qīngcài (青菜; literally blue/green vegetable) or qīngjiāngcài (青江菜; literally "blue/green river vegetable").
share|improve this answer
芹菜 is celery.
小白菜 is not actually bok choy. The proper English name is "baby bok choy". Bok choy is a much larger vegetable that looks a little bit like a head of lettuce. It doesn't come in the form of individual stalks and one bok choy weighs a couple of pounds.

As theGoose mentioned, it depends on where in China you are. In many places 小白菜 really means bak choy and not baby bak choy. – BertR Apr 2 '12 at 7:46
bok choy in Mandarin (Northern part of China) saying is 小白菜 (baby bok choy). The north don't just say bok choy, it's always added a 小 (baby, little, small) before anything else. That's their culture of saying things than the Cantonese at the southern part of China. The Cantonese saying is just the two words bok choy or 白菜子. The 子 at the end means 'baby,little, small, tiny' refer to as 小 (baby, small) in Mandarin. Mandarin put the '小, baby, little' at the beginning of the phrase while the Cantonese leave it at the end of the phrase. It all ended up the same meaning, it just reverse it.

I would like to draw a 3D carpet plot with Python Pylab or matplotlib. I explain what I mean with carpet plot:
I have points on a X,Y meshgrid. This points have an elevation attached to them, but also an integer from a finite set. A common 3D plot makes it possible to vizualize relief. Elevation is along Z, we can vizualize elevation for a points determined by its coordinates X,Y along Z-axis. Alternatively, I draw heatmaps for elevation. It is a 2D plot, each pixel determined by X,Y has a color that is a function of altitude, red for apex and blue for bottom. I do some clustering on these data, and after clustering, I have, for each pixel, two information: elevation and a label (integer). I can draw a 2D map with each pixel colored with its label, and this gives me the clustering results.
Now, I would like to plot both information on same 3D graph. Z coordinate should be elevation, and the point on surface should be colored with its "cluster color". This is what I call the 3D carpet plot (if term does not sound correct, please tell me).

Your "cluster color" is some set of conditions on the X,Y,Z values of your grid. If you can make these a mask (of True/False values) it is simple to map a color onto them. I've given an example of an arbitrary set of conditions, which you can adapt to your needs. Code was adapted from _URL_
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
# Some sample data
x_side = np.arange(-5, 5, 0.04)
y_side = np.arange(-5, 5, 0.04)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x_side,y_side)
# Fake mountains
Z = np.exp(-(X**2+Y**2)) + 2*np.exp(-((X-2)**2+Y**2))
# Assign colors based off some user-defined condition
COLORS = np.empty(X.shape, dtype=str)
COLORS[:,:] = 'b'
COLORS[(Z>.1) * (Z<.3)] = 'r'

Aussie Museum To Return Maori Heads
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - An Australian museum
has agreed to return five tattooed and preserved Maori heads to New
Zealand, a spokesman said Thursday. The return of the heads from the
South Australian Museum in Adelaide later this month marks another
milestone in an ongoing campaign to repatriate all the tattooed heads
of Maori from museums and galleries round the world. Maori, the original
inhabitants of New Zealand, preserved the heads of their dead through
a drying process and often kept the heads of their loved ones around
the home. The South Australian Museum will hand over the heads - known
as ''moko mokai'' -on long-term loan at a ceremony on April 17. The
heads will be held by Te Papa, the Museum of New Zealand, in Wellington,
where dozens of other repatriated heads are stored. The largest collection
outside New Zealand, numbering 35 heads, is at New York's American
Museum of Natural History. Moko Mokai Education Trust spokesman Dalvanius
Prime said final negotiations were under way for the return of the
American Museum of Natural History's collection, and the heads should
be repatriated early next year. Prime also said the tattooed and preserved
head of a white New Zealander was secretly repatriated from Australia
in February and buried on land alongside the Whanganui River 160 miles
north of Wellington. Though Maori often kept the heads of their loved
ones, enemies or slaves were not so revered. Many Maori traded their
tattooed heads for European goods like muskets, meaning many heads
are now in museums around the world.
Preserved Maori heads traded by major-general
The first recorded sale of Maori mokomokai was in 1770,
says a history written by a chief trader and collector, British Army
Major-General Horatio Gordon Robley.
His book, published in 1896, Moko; or Maori Tattooing says Maori head
preservers steamed then carefully dried the body parts. Some heads
received further tattoos after death.
Robley said even dried Maori heads with few lines of moko were valuable,
as were "occasional specimens of dried European heads."
The trade ended "as far as possible" in the 1830s, with
most heads obtained in the last 20 years.
He said: "They are works of art; and it's value is subject to
all the vicissitudes that affect the value of other works of art.
"They are all very scarce and the number in private hands (as
distinct from Museum ownership) is very few."
The Major-General, who dedicated his book: "To those who have
served against the warriors of New Zealand",said among heads
in Museum collections were six at the Paris Museum d'Histoire Naturelle,
including a skin mounted on a plaster cast.
Two more were at the Berlin Konigliches Museum fur Volkekunde, one
fitted with glass eyes. This is pictured mounted on a metal pole with
a feather earring. Another four were in Plymouth, England.
He also mentions heads in Museums at Christchurch, Auckland, Sydney,
Gottingen, Germany and at the Royal College of Surgeons, London.
The Museum of New Zealand said last week it has mokomokai in it's
collection but they were not on display. It refused to supply Sunday
News with photographs of the heads because of the sensitivity of the
The many desperate tribes without the much-needed muskets to defend
themselves soon found a way of obtaining these weapons. The European
traders were more than willing to trade muskets for embalmed tattooed
heads. In war, the Maori custom was to take the heads of their victims,
embalm and preserve them, and then present the heads to the family
of the killed warrior. Because of the lucrative trade in dried heads,
with muskets as the end goal, Maori warriors began leading skirmishes
against other tribes uniquely to gain heads for ammunition. Muskets
were always available, but heads began to run short, and soon the
Maori found himself unable to continue supplying dried heads as previously.
News of the head for musket trade reached Britain, and caused an outcry.
As New Zealand was not yet a colony the British were unable to do
much to stop this trade. They were, however, able to pass a law against
the trading of heads to Australia in 1831, and after this date head
trading dwindled rapidly.Hongi Hika died in 1828, following a bullet
wound incurred during a battle in the Hokianga area.

Why Do the Ears of a Fox Point Forward?
(Red fox on the scent. will_hybrid/Flickr.com)
Foxes are small, primarily carnivorous mammals of the dog family. They range in size from the tiny African fennec to the European red fox. Diet includes birds, rabbits, mice, grasshoppers and other insects, earthworms, eggs and carrion. Foxes also forage on fruit, berries, nuts and grasses. They are solitary animals that hunt alone. Most species have pointed faces with erect, triangular ears, short legs, thick fur and a long bushy tail.

Ears of a Predator
Most members of the canine and feline families have ears that point forward. The forward-pointing ear is an evolutionary adaptation that is linked to the animal's methods of hunting. Foxes quietly stalk their prey, attempting to get as close as possible before pouncing. If they do not succeed in catching it, they will give chase. A fox can run up to 25 miles per hour to catch rabbits and other small mammals. Forward-pointing ears allow the predator to hear its prey even while moving forward to stalk or chase.

Foxes have an acute sense of hearing that they use to detect prey. Unlike most mammals, they can detect the low-frequency sounds of small animals digging beneath snow or under the ground. The fox tilts its head to focus its ears, locates the source of the sound and digs up its prey.

Ears of Prey Animals
Grazing animals, including rabbits, are vulnerable to predators, like the fox, that sneak up close to them while they eat. The ears of such prey animals have evolved to be large, exceptionally mobile and capable of moving independently, allowing them to hear sounds from both sides and from behind. As they graze, their highly mobile ears swivel constantly to catch any hint of potential predators.
Fox Ears and Climate
Fox species that live in extreme environments of hot or cold have evolved variations in the shape and size of their ears. The fennec of the African desert and the kit fox of the American Southwest have enormous ears that dissipate heat and help to regulate their body temperature. The arctic fox has evolved small rounded ears that conserve heat and are less subject to freezing.

Eyes Facing Forward
Not only do predators have ears that point forward, they also have eyes on the front of their faces, giving them binocular vision to better focus on the prey in front of them. Their prey, by contrast, have ears and eyes on the sides of their head. They can see and hear potentially dangerous movement from behind and on either side.

Acetate Utilization Test- Principle, Procedure, and Result Interpretation
Objective of Acetate Utilization Test
To differentiate organisms based on the ability to use acetate as the sole source of carbon. Generally used to differentiate Shigella sp. from Escherichia coli.
Principle of Acetate Utilization Test
This test is used to differentiate an organism capable of using acetate as the sole source of carbon. Organisms capable of using sodium acetate grow on the medium, resulting in an alkaline pH, turning the indicator from green to blue.
Media:
 - NaC2H3O2 (2 g/l)
 - MgSO4 (0.1 g/l)
 - NaCl (5 g/l)
 - NH4H2PO4 (1 g/l)
 - agar (20 g/l)
 - bromthymol blue indicator (0.8 g/l)
 - pH 6.7.
Procedure of Acetate Utilization Test
 1. With a straight inoculating needle, inoculate acetate slant lightly from an 18- to 24-hour culture. Do not inoculate from a broth culture, because the growth will be too heavy.
 2. Incubate at 35°-37°C for up to 7 days.
Result Interpretation of Acetate Utilization Test
Positive: Medium becomes alkalinized (blue) as a result of the growth and use of acetate.
Negative: No growth or growth with no indicator change to blue.
Limitations
Some strains of E. coli may use acetate at a very slow rate or not at all, resulting in a false negative reaction in the identification process
Quality Control
Positive: Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922)— growth; blue
Negative: Shigella sonnei (ATCC 25931)— small amount of growth; green

By HENRY FREDERICK
Who knew? The crying Indian in the early 1970s ant-littering PSA commercial on TV was not Native American after all. This, according to Today I Found Out, the informative YouTube channel.
Simon Whistler, the narrator of the YouTube channel introduces the late Oscar "Iron Eyes" Cody as "The Crying Indian who wasn't."
Cody portrayed Native Americans in more than 200 films and countless television shows over his 64-year career. But his greatest role perhaps was that of the Native American Indian who sheds a ear when trash is thrown at his feet by those in a passing car near a riverbank after he's gotten out of a canoe.
Cody was actually the son of two Italian immigrants to the US.
Here is a synopsis of how Cody is described by TodayIFoundOut.com:
Born on April 3, 1904 as Espera Oscar de Corti, Cody's parents were both Sicilian immigrants (Antonio de Corti and wife, Francesca Salpietra). He grew up in Gueydan, Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, where his parents ran a grocery store.
After his father and mother split up, Cody joined his father in Texas, where the family surname was shortened to just Corti. Oscar and his brothers, Joseph and Frank, eventually took off to California (supposedly after being exposed to movie making when a film crew used their farm as a set), changed their last name to Cody, and began working in Hollywood. Throughout his career, despite several actual Native American actors being highly skeptical of his supposed heritage, Cody claimed that he was of Cherokee-Cree descent. Besides other facets of his origin story that changed over the years, he frequently changed the stated place of his birth, perhaps to hide his true ancestry...
Cody appeared in over 200 films and TV shows and worked with some of the top names in Hollywood at the time including John Wayne (The Big Trail 1930), Joseph Cotton (The Great Sioux Massacre 1965), Steve McQueen (Nevada Smith 1966) and Richard Harris (A Man Called Horse 1970).


ONE of Wales' most prominent buildings was bathed in blue light last night in support of an anti-bullying campaign.
The National Museum Wales in Cardiff, above, was floodlit to mark the Welsh Assembly Government's Respecting Others Week.
As part of the campaign, many children throughout Wales wore blue T-shirts to school, so the Assembly decided to light one of the nation's iconic buildings in the same colour.
The National Museum was chosen as it's one of the country's most recognisable buildings and is in a busy area.
"The Assembly Government wants to get the message across that when others stand by and do nothing, it actually encourages bullying tactics," said Minister for Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills, Jane Davidson.
"We want to get straight to the point to change behaviour, so that from now on, people will step forward, have a mutual respect for each other and help tackle bullying together."

|How to obtain Swiss citizenship|
Home > Swiss Residency > Residence permits > FAQ > General questions > Citizenship
Swiss citizenship can be acquired through what is called naturalization.
To become naturalized, you need to have resided in Switzerland for at least twelve years, three of which occurred within the five years prior to the request. Time spent in Switzerland between the ages of 10 and 20 years counts double.
Phase one: federal authorization
The request is to be made to the Aliens Police in the municipality of residence. From there, it will then be sent to the Federal Department of Justice and Police, who will give a principle authorization if the following conditions are met:
- You are integrated in the Swiss community.
- You are accustomed to Swiss way of life and practices.
- You comply with the Swiss legal system.
- You in no way compromise the internal or external security of Switzerland.
Since Switzerland is a federal country, authorization must then be obtained from the canton and the municipality.
Phase two: cantonal and municipal decisions
The canton and municipality of residence can add further conditions and set the cost of acquiring citizenship before approving it. Conditions vary greatly from one region to the next. Some municipalities apply rather open policies, while others will go as far as granting nationality by means of a local population vote. Cost also varies according to municipality and canton.

Background: Virtual reality is an alternative therapeutic resource to be inserted into cardiovascular rehabilitation, stimulating the practice of physical activity through man-machine interaction.
Objective: To compare the effects of conventional and virtual reality cardiac rehabilitation on body composition and functional capacity in patients with heart disease.
Methods: Randomized clinical trial with 27 cardiac patients divided into conventional rehabilitation group (CRG) and virtual reality rehabilitation group (VRG). They underwent a rehabilitation program with 60-minute training sessions twice a week for eight weeks. The VRG training consisted of exercises from the Xbox 360® with Kinect™, using YourShape™ and Dance Central 3™ games. The CRG used conventional treadmills for aerobic exercise and free weights for resistance exercise. Bioimpedance and 6-minute walk test (6MWT) were evaluated at baseline and after training. For main outcome analysis, Student t and Mann Whitney tests were used with a 5% significance level.
Results: The VRG showed a significant increase in body fat percentage and fat weight when compared to the CRG, and a smaller amount of total water. There was a significant improvement in functional capacity evidenced by the increase in the distance covered in the 6MWT (54.00 m and 32.25 m in the CRG and VRG, respectively), but the gains did not differ between the groups.
Conclusion: The two rehabilitation modalities had no effect on the body composition of the groups. In addition, the improvement in functional capacity was similar in both groups. (Int J Cardiovasc Sci. 2018;31(6)619-629)

Problem 2: Billet Upset Forging
Consider the isothermal upset forging of the cylindrical billet shown in Figure 2.
Assume that the dies are rigid. Also assume that sticking friction is in effect between the billet and the die faces when they are in contact.

Telegram Account
There are two ways to delete your Telegram account: using the app's self-destruct feature or doing so manually. We'll discuss both options below.
Note: As far as we can tell, the browser version of Telegram doesn't allow you to delete your account. Also, there are slight differences between the layout and features of Telegram's desktop and smartphone apps. However, don't let this throw you off; the steps are the same.
Delete Telegram account using self-destruction
Telegram allows you to specify a period of inactivity, after which your account will be deleted automatically. This is useful if, for instance, you're not in a hurry to delete your account.
The standard time period is six months, but you can change this by following the steps below:
1. Open your Telegram app. Click on the three lines in the top left corner and go to "Settings."
2. Click on "Privacy and Security."
3. Scroll down and click on "Delete my account."
4. Now, click on "If away for."
5. You can now choose to have your account automatically deleted after one, three, six, or 12 months of inactivity. All you have to do is wait until the specified time elapses and your account will be automatically deleted.
Delete Telegram manually
If you don't want to wait for your Telegram account to be deleted automatically, you can choose to delete it manually.
Note: There is no way to do this from the Telegram app. You can only delete your Telegram account from your web browser.
Follow the steps down below to delete your Telegram account:
1. Go to the Telegram deactivation page and enter your phone number with your country code. If you're unsure about your country code, you can easily Google it.
2. Fill in the confirmation code sent to your Telegram app.
3. You'll be directed to a page explaining the consequences of deleting your account. We recommend reading this information carefully. You can provide a reason for deleting your Telegram account if you want to. When you're done, click on the blue "Delete My Account" button.
4. You have to confirm you want to delete your Telegram account by clicking "Yes, delete my account. " This is the final step. Once you click on this button, your account will be deleted permanently.
5. You have now deleted your Telegram account permanently. If you want to sign up for another account with the same phone number, you'll have to wait a few days before you can do so.
Why Delete Telegram?
Telegram was launched in 2013, but its popularity has skyrocketed in the past few years as millions of people seek alternatives to WhatsApp and Facebook. There are many reasons to choose Telegram over WhatsApp, but there are also reasons to stop using Telegram. Here are the main ones.
No end-to-end encryption by default
While it has some unique features, critics have since lamented the fact that Telegram doesn't provide end-to-end encryption by default. You need to activate "Secret Chat" before you get this level of encryption. This is different from other messaging apps, like WhatsApp, which has standard end-to-end encryption on all chats.
There's also the fact that Telegram uses its own, relatively unknown encryption protocol—MTProto—rather than a well-recognized one.
Extremism and conspiracy theorists
Due to its lax approach to content moderation, Telegram has become a meeting place for right-wing extremists and conspiracy theorists.
At the height of the COVID pandemic, while social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram took measures to stop the spread of misinformation, Telegram didn't. This made the messaging app a fertile ground for the growth of extremist ideologies.
A study published in 2021 by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue revealed that far-right groups spread COVID-19 conspiracy theories on Telegram as a way to radicalize and recruit new members. The study also found that these groups peddle extreme misogyny, anti-Semitism, and Islamophobia on the messaging app.
Data collection practices
To provide its service and further its "legitimate interests," Telegram may collect and store metadata from users' devices for up to a year. The company collects some personal information about users, including your name, username, phone number, email address, contact list, and location data (when you share your location).
Telegram also stores users' chat messages, photos, videos, and shared documents. According to the company, this data is "stored heavily encrypted." Nonetheless, Telegram may be compelled to turn over user data by the government.
Telegram claims it has never had to release user information to the authorities. However, in June 2022, German news magazine Der Spiegel reported that Telegram had presented user data to the German police as part of a criminal investigation into terrorism and child abuse.
How to Keep Your Data Safe on Telegram
If you're concerned about your privacy, deleting your Telegram account is not your only option. You can hang on to your Telegram account and secure your data by using a VPN. A VPN is a useful privacy solution that encrypts your internet traffic and routes your traffic through a server.
The top VPNs offer military-grade encryption. So, if you don't trust Telegram's encryption protocol, you can take matters into your hands and use a VPN to encrypt your traffic.
A VPN also changes your IP address and hides your real IP. This allows you to access geo-restricted content and bypass censorship blocks without any difficulties.
NordVPN is one of the top VPNs we recommend. It has a wide server network, excellent security and privacy tools, and it doesn't store any user data.
If you've just deleted Telegram, and you're looking for a great, privacy-oriented messaging app to replace it, there are several options to choose from. Check out our article on the best encrypted messaging apps.
If you're interested in deleting your social media accounts, we have articles on how to delete your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, and LinkedIn accounts.

How to enable or disable the sound in Telegram
Many experts and ordinary users consider the Telegram messenger to be one of the best solutions on the market. The application works very fast, it is very light, does not load the device, it is multi-platform, and also equipped with many great features. One of these features are group conversations, as well as channels. Surely you have come across a situation, especially if you are an active participant in group conversations, when there are too many notifications, and they simply annoy you with their calls every couple of seconds. If they annoy you, you can easily turn them off.
Sound notifications can be managed in Telegram.
In today's material, we will analyze how to turn off the sound of notifications in the "Telegram" on your phone or computer. We will tell you how to remove it for a single correspondence, as well as how to turn off any signals.
How to turn off all notifications
Android
 1. Expand the Telegram side menu by swiping from the left side of the screen or by tapping the three horizontal bars in the upper left corner.
 2. Go to "Settings" - "Notifications and Sound". Here you will see individual settings for messages, groups, and the entire application.
 3. If you want to remove the ringtone of incoming messages, in the corresponding section, tap the "Sound" tab, and then select "Silent" in the list of available melodies. If you need to change the settings for groups, follow the same action in the corresponding section.
 4. If you want to get rid of all signals at the program level, in the "In


Lattice Energy
From UBC Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
ChemHelp.png This article is part of the ChemHelp Tutoring Wiki
Lattice energy is the energy required to convert one mole of crystal into its constituent ions in the gas phase at infinite separation. Ionic energy can also be defined to the energy released when a ions form an ionic solid.
M+(g) + X-(g) --> MX(s)
where M is a cation and X is an anion
Two trends when observing lattice energies:
1. The larger the ionic radii of the ions (cation or anion), the farther the electrons are from the nucleus, the easier it is to transfer electrons to form a solid, thus, less energy is required.
This can also be explained by Coloumb's Law
Therefore, lattice energy decreases from right to left and towards the bottom of the periodic table.
2. The divalent ions require a larger lattice energy to form a solid than monovalent ions. This is because twice as much energy is required to remove the second electron from a cation.

Long-Term Evolution of Cones of Depression in Shallow Aquifers in the North China Plain
AbstractThe North China Plain (NCP) is one of the places where the groundwater is most over-exploited in the world. Currently, our understanding on the spatiotemporal variability of the cones of depression in this region is fragmentary. This study intends to simulate the cones of depression in the shallow aquifer across the entire NCP during the whole period from 1960 to 2011. During the simulation, the dominant role of anthropogenic activities is emphasized and carefully taken into account using a Neural Network Algorithm. The results show that cones of depression in the NCP were formed in 1970s and continuously expanded. Their centers were getting deeper with an increasing degree of groundwater exploitation. This simulation provides valuable insights for developing more sustainable groundwater management options after the implementation of the South-to-NorthWater Diversion Project (SNWDP), which is a very important surface water project in China in the near future. The numerical model in this paper is built by MODFLOW, with pumpage data completed by neural network algorithm and hydrogeological parameters calibrated by simulated annealing algorithm. Based on our long-term numerical model for regional groundwater flow in the NCP, one exploitation limitation strategy after the implementation of SNWDP is studied in this paper. The results indicate that the SNWDP is beneficial for groundwater recovery in the NCP. A number of immense groundwater cones will gradually shrink. However, the recovery of the groundwater environment in the NCP will require a long time.

Our river for people and wildlife
Restoring 158 miles of river for shad
The project was inspired by one of the UK's rarest fish. Hundreds of thousands of twaite shad used to migrate up the River Severn to reach their natural spawning grounds. But weirs installed in the mid-19th century blocked this annual migration. Unlocking the Severn has provided fish passage at six barriers on the River Severn and its River Teme tributary. Allowing access around these barriers has restored 158 miles of river habitat, and benefitted a host of other important fish species including salmon and eel.
In 2022, environmental-DNA results confirmed that shad had navigated past all four fish passes on the River Severn. The fish had begun to reclaim key spawning habitats for the first time in almost two centuries!
The Canal & River Trust (lead), Severn Rivers Trust, Environment Agency and Natural England were the partner organizations for delivering this project. Unlocking the Severn was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the EU LIFE Programme, as well as The Waterloo Foundation and the partners.
Reconnecting with our river
Unlocking the Severn involved exciting activities for people of all ages, interests and backgrounds, so that more people could be inspired and learn from the UK's longest river.
Our heritage, education and people-powered science programmes reconnected millions of people with the River Severn. This included working with community groups along the river, over 6000 school children, and creating opportunities for hundreds of volunteers.
Tours of Diglis Island and Fish Pass continue via the Canal & River Trust, welcoming visitors to brand new visitor sites. The unique underwater viewing gallery at Diglis Fish Pass provides a lens into the River Severn, allowing us to watch wild fish making their epic migratory journeys upstream.

9. Visitors Can Still Experience Remnants Of The Billings Mansion
Although C.K.G. Billings' mansion burned to the ground in the 1920s, Rockefeller salvaged the remaining structure and incorporated it into the park design. The massive structure which survived the fire is known as the Billings Arcade – a 50-foot arched structure which was the original driveway that meanders up the hill to the estate. It is part of a 1,600 foot long brick driveway that leads to the mansion through the Billings gatehouse – another surviving fragment renamed as the Fort Tryon Cottage.

Also, you defined a vanity URL but when you test the URL on the browser, another page shows up.
Again, you can use the Sling Resource Resolver to verify the resolved URL for a vanity URL. For example, you defined the same vanity URL (dealoftheday) for two pages on your website.
This issue occurs since you define vanity URLs by page. So it's necessary to go to a specific page to define a vanity URL for that page. In this case, you inadvertently set the same vanity URL for two pages.
To get around this issue, you can either go to the Sling Resource Resolver and go through the list of Resolver Map Entries. This list contains defiend vanity URLs.
Alternatively, you can use the URL Mapping feature of CQ to replicate this functionality.
To create a URL map between a /content URL in your repository and a shortened URL:
- Go to the Configuration tab of the Adobe CQ5 Web Console (http://localhost:4503/system/console/configMgr).
- Go to the Apache Sling JCR Resource Resolver section.
- Click the + sign in the URL Mappings section.
- In the new text box, enter the resolved URL and the vanity URL.
- Click Save.
- Finally, follow the steps to verify your vanity URL, goingforgold.

CCS Presents 12 Days of Reading and Math Challenge
Winter break is a great time to encourage students love of reading and writing at home. The activities in the 12 Days of Reading provide literacy experiences for children and their families that can be completed daily during the December 19th through January 3rd Winter Break. The activities and resources will provide children and families with opportunities to read together, have conversations about books and writing and have experiences that make the books they read come alive.
Download Reading Packets | Download Math Packets
In the 12 Days of Math, children in Kindergarten through 5th grade will have the opportunity to experience math challenges during Winter Break. These challenges are activities that children can engage in daily with family and friends. Engaging children in math discussions is an essential component of a child's mathematical learning. Not only can kids talk about math when completing the math challenges, they can discuss math concepts that are in books. When children are reading, look for ways that math is involved in the story. For example, in the Columbus Metropolitan Library Reading Challenge, when reading about a dinosaur, go outside with a family member and measure the size of the dinosaur by walking the distance. Families can engage in discussions about measuring, strategies used when measuring, and other opportunities we have to measure in our daily lives. Math is all around us, we just need to be on the lookout.

In Oracle if you want to store a small value, such as a one digit code (e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3 4, or Null; or Null, or 1; or 1, or 2), what is the space optimal way to store such a value. Currently I'm looking at a system where it was decided to store these values as VARCHAR2(11 CHAR), but it seems like the wrong option for a column type. From the online Oracle documentation and the almighty Google it seems like the more space optimal storage option with be CHAR(1) as it seems to be the smallest on disk type.
Am I completely wrong in my thinking or doesn't it not matter either way?

It's a number. Use a NUMBER. – Phil Feb 5 '13 at 16:45
_USER_ From my understanding of the Oracle documention link a NUMBER(1) is stored as two BYTEs verus CHAR(1) which is stored as one BYTE. – Eric Day Feb 5 '13 at 16:52
How many rows do you expect? – dezso Feb 5 '13 at 16:55
_USER_ Only in the 10's of millions every three months. Though there are roughly 70 columns that have this type of data. – Eric Day Feb 5 '13 at 17:06
how much percent of space will you save in your database by defining these columns as CHAR(1) instead of NUMBER(1)? – miracle173 Feb 5 '13 at 17:16

The documentation states the size of datatypes here.
0 (the number) is stored as 1 byte. Other single digit numbers will be stored in 2 bytes (one for the exponent, one for the mantissa). You can test this yourself by creating a test table and using the VSIZE() function on test data (doc link).
A CHAR(n) will be stored in n bytes.
I'd always store numbers in a NUMBER. Unless you're dealing with trillions of rows, the space saving will not be significant enough.

Is there an advantage as stroing it as a number? I agree about storing numbers as numbers, but there are not really numbers. That is to say, the numbers are really just codes for other values, like Male/Female, Yes/No, etc. So though it's a numeric representation it's not really a number, it's more an alias. – Eric Day Feb 5 '13 at 17:12
_USER_ but it's still a number representing a foreign key to another table that uses a number as a primary key. And putting numeric data in string fields is a pretty terrible idea for a variety of reasons, not least of which are lack of data integrity, increased space on disk, and funky sorting – JNK Feb 5 '13 at 17:18
_USER_ The irony is that there are no forign key's in this case. This is just how the buiness data is stored. – Eric Day Feb 5 '13 at 17:29

Lower Plants Collections
The origins of the botanical collections in Cardiff began in 1867 when Cardiff Naturalists Society formed and influenced the development of Cardiff Free Library, Museum and Schools of Science and Art. The first noteworthy botanical purchase of the society was in 1870 with the Conway Collection.
An estimated 337,000 specimens in Amgueddfa Cymru — National Museum Wales herbarium are lower plants, mainly consisting of bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) coming to around 280,000 specimens. However, there are also many specimens of lichens (45,000), fungi (6,700) and algae (5,000).
Keeping the collections safe and in good condition is part of the job of curators who work closely with the conservation department in the Museum.
Explore the collections online. We are gradually adding to these, so further catalogues will become available.

The card is considerably cheap, and is suggested to be picked during the start of a game. It is not suggested to use the card on a creature with 1 health unless it is an emergency, due to the Shackle attribute of the card going to waste.
Arrow in the Knee should be used on cards with high attack powers, as it will prevent them from attacking the next turn, saving you health or your creatures' defense. If possible with the deck and cards available in your hand, the card should be used on enemies with high defenses, and combined with a wound-related card (i.e. Finish Off) to easily destroy them.
- The phrase "Arrow to the Knee" originated from Skyrim as a line of dialogue from Hold Guards, who would say "I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee" when passing by the player. Eventually, it became a widespread meme, becoming an iconic legacy of Skyrim on modern culture. It can therefore be considered an easter egg.
- During the closed beta, the card was previously named Arrow to the Knee. However, this changed at some point before the beta opened.

Models for Prediction of Structural Properties of Palmnut Fibre-Reinforced Cement Mortar Composites
An analytical study was carried out to investigate the structural properties of palmnut fibre reinforced cement-based composites. Explicit expressions were derived for the flexural, compressive and elongation behavior of composites using a two-phase constitutive model and verified using results obtained from literature. The predicated and measured values were found to agree favourably. Both the predicted and measured composite specimens showed increasing flexural strength up to the optimum fibre volume fraction while the compressive strength decreases with increase in fibre volume fraction. The correlation coefficients were high showing the effectiveness of the two-phase constitutive models in the analysis and design of palmnut fibre-reinforced cement composites.

PanelsConfigure value mappings
Configure value mappings
In addition to field overrides, value mapping is a technique that you can use to change the visual treatment of data that appears in a visualization.
Values mapped via value mappings bypass the unit formatting. This means that a text value mapped to a numerical value is not formatted using the configured unit.
Value mappings example
If value mappings are present in a panel, then Grafana displays a summary in the side pane of the panel editor.
Note: The new value mappings are not compatible with some visualizations, such as Graph (old), Text, and Heatmap.
Types of value mappings
Grafana supports the following value mappings:
 - Value: Maps text values to a color or different display text. For example, you can configure a value mapping so that all instances of the value 10 appear as Perfection! rather than the number.
 - Range: Maps numerical ranges to a display text and color. For example, if a value is within a certain range, you can configure a range value mapping to display Low or High rather than the number.
 - Regex: Maps regular expressions to replacement text and a color. For example, if a value is _URL_, you can configure a regex value mapping so that Grafana displays www and truncates the domain.
 - Special Maps special values like Null, NaN (not a number), and boolean values like true and false to a display text and color. For example, you can configure a special value mapping so that null values appear as N/A.
You can also use the dots on the left to drag and reorder value mappings in the list.
Examples
Refer to the following examples to learn more about value mapping.
Time series example
The following image shows a time series visualization with value mappings. Value mapping colors are not applied to this visualization, but the display text is shown on the axis.

How to Tighten a Rattling Heat Shield
A car heat shield. Learn when to worry about a rattling heat shield.
For the most part, we associate a quiet car with a healthy car. Loose parts usually mean something is wrong, and could affect the reliability and safety of your vehicle. While some see a rattling heat shield as a mere annoyance, others may find it embarrassing. In some cases, a loose heat shield could be a major problem.
Because the primary purpose of the exhaust system is to route superheated gases away from the engine, everything around the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, exhaust pipes and muffler gets hot. Catalytic converters are particularly hot — they only begin functioning between 400 and 600 degrees Fahrenheit, and normally range between 1,200 and 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit. The rest of the exhaust system typically measures 300 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Exhaust Heat Shields — What Are They Rattling For?
These heat shields were mounted to the body over the exhaust.Many car parts cannot manage such heat. Plastic and rubber parts can melt or become brittle, electric motors and sensors can fail, and dry grass or paper can spontaneously combust. Made of thin metal sheets, heat shields deflect much of the extreme heat, some affixed to the exhaust system and others affixed to parts needing protection.
Exhaust heat shields fail for a couple of reasons: rust and vibration. Fittingly, the parts the heat shields are designed to protect often cause their failure. All metal exposed to the atmosphere corrodes, but heat speeds up the process, so clamps, bolts or welds can rust to nothing, leading to a loose heat shield. Vibrations can weaken the metal, causing a heat shield to fall off, rattling against the exhaust or some other part of the vehicle.
How to Fix a Rattling Heat Shield
Some don't see much use for a rattling heat shield, so they simply remove them and discard them, but this can be a problem. Because the heat shields are designed to protect other car parts from the extreme heat of the exhaust, removing them completely could cause premature failure of other components or even fire. The best way to fix a rattling heat shield is to replace it or reaffix it. Here are a few ways to fix your rattling heat shield:
 - Weld: If you have access to a welder, you may be able to tack the heat shield to the exhaust. Be careful, as both the thin metal heat shield and exhaust pipe may burn through.
 - Bolt: In some cases, you may be able to install new nuts and bolts to reaffix a bolt-on heat shield. If the holes are too wide, fender washers can make up for that extra space.
 - Clamp: Stainless steel screw clamps can be used in some situations, such as where a heat shield was welded or clamped to an exhaust pipe.
 - Tie: Another way to fix a loose heat shield is with a stainless steel tie, which won't rust after installation. Link several together for larger components, such as muffler heat shields.
If a loose heat shield has you worried, you may not need new exhaust pipes, but one of these quick fixes can restore your sanity and protect your vehicle from the heat. Of course, if you're going to get under the vehicle, be sure it is securely lifted and supported by jack stands.
Check out all the exhaust parts and accessories available on NAPA Online or trust one of our 17,000 NAPA AutoCare locations for routine maintenance and repairs. For more information on heat shields, chat with a knowledgeable expert at your local NAPA AUTO PARTS store.

Pupils at The Avenue School got into the spirit of the World Cup for a day of activities in support of the 1GOAL education for all initiative.
The campaign seizes the power of football to ensure that education for all children – regardless of economic or social situation – is a lasting impact of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
1GOAL brings together footballers, fans, charities, corporations and individuals to lobby and achieve the ambition to see all children having access to a good education.
For its part, children at The Avenue School, in Conwy Close, Tilehurst, were allowed to wear football kits to school and took part in a Shoot for Goal competition, a football speed cage, fancy dress competition, Find the Flag competition, Sport the Ball, and table football.
Reading FC's reserve goalkeeper Ben Hamer also visited, signing lots of autographs for loyal fans.
A screening of an official film from the 1GOAL organisers showed why education is so valuable to all the world's children, and each pupil coloured parts of an enormous football scarf which was sent to Downing Street as part of the UK children's hopes that the government provide whatever they can to enable children throughout the world to receive education.

Help! My Cat Gets Carsick!
It's not for the reason you'd think 🤢
cat gets carsick
Being carsick is no fun for you, and it's especially not fun for your cat.
It's heartbreaking to see your cat get queasy in the car (especially if you've been there too and can feel his pain).
The Dodo spoke with Dr. Tom Elston, cat specialist and owner of T.H.E. Cat Hospital in California, who explained why cats get carsick and how you can help.
Cats and carsickness
"Like people, cats can get carsick too," Dr. Elston told The Dodo. "Carsickness is a form of motion sickness, much like we experience when in a car, on a boat, or up in a plane."
But rather than getting nauseous from the speed of the car or bumps in the road like people do, a cat's motion sickness is actually a result of stress or anxiety.
This is because cats don't usually ride around in the car very often, so probably they aren't used to it the way dogs are.
Not to mention, cats often associate car rides with going to the vet, which can be a source of anxiety for them.
Signs of carsickness
"The most common symptom of motion sickness in cats is vomiting, but it may be combined with peeing or pooping in their carrier if they're particularly anxious," Dr. Elston explained.
Other signs include:
 - Vocalization
 - Restlessness
 - Drooling
 - Licking lips
 - Lethargy
What to do
Since travel sickness in cats is rooted in anxiety, the first thing you should do is contact your vet.
"Depending on your cat's needs, your vet may be able to prescribe medications to help with anxiety or nausea, and can provide more specific recommendations based on your cat's age, health, and temperament," Dr. Elston said.
There are also some over-the-counter items you can try to supplement your vet's treatment plan.
Like this Feliway calming travel spray from Chewy for $13.99
In addition to treatment recommended by your vet, you should also try to get your cat more comfortable with his carrier.
If he thinks of it as a safe space, traveling inside it could help ease his anxiety.
You can do this by leaving it out at home so he gets used to hanging out in it, or even filling it with some of his favorite treats so he knows it's a place where good things happen.

Answer on What is the difference between turin italy and torino italy?
Turin and Torino are the same city. Torino is the Italian name for the city and Turin is the Anglicised name. The tradition of changing place (and person) names to a more "English" form dates back to the Middle Ages at least.
The alternate namings arent't just limited to English speakers. During the opening ceremonies of the 2006 Olympics, many of the country name on the standards that were carried before the athletes as they entered the stadium had Italian versions of their true names. For example, the United States was shown as Stati Uniti d'America and the Netherlands was shown as Paesi Bassi.

inner angle of a triangle in the 4th dimension
- To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net
- Subject: [mg26324] inner angle of a triangle in the 4th dimension
- From: "Jacky Vaillancourt"
- Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 21:38:07 -0500 (EST)
- Sender: owner-wri-mathgroup at wolfram.com
Hi, i have a basic problem. I can't see my mistake can somebody help me?
Here's the problem:
I want to calculate each angle of the triangle formed by those three dots.
P:=(0,1,0,1), Q:=(3,2,-2,1), R:=(3,5,-1,3)
u:=PQ -> (3-0,2-1,-2-0,1-1) -> (3,1,-2,0)
v:=QR -> (3-3,5-2,-1-(-2),3-1) -> (0,3,1,2)
w:=PR -> (3-0,5-1,-1-0,3-1) -> (3,4,-1,2)
The formula to have the angle between tho vector is:
The formula to calculate the length is SQRT(a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2)
So, the angle between u and v is:
ARCCOS(ABS(15)/(SQRT(14)*SQRT(30))) = 42.95 deg
the angle between v and w is:
ARCCOS(ABS(-15)/(SQRT(30)*SQRT(14)))= 42.95 deg
the angle between u and w is:
ARCCOS(ABS(-1)/(SQRT(30)*SQRT(14)))= 85.9 deg
Here's the problem 180-85.9-42.95-42.95= 8.2 deg
I'm missing 8.2 deg....
I hope you'll understand what i wrote, i'm not used to write in english...
