text: The bactericidal effect of hydroxyl radical (OH) generated by combination of photolysis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and sonolysis of water was examined under the condition in which the yield of OH increased additively when H2O2 aqueous solution was concomitantly irradiated with laser and ultrasound. The suspension of Staphylococcus aureus mixed with the different concentrations of H2O2 was irradiated simultaneously with a laser light (wavelength: 405 nm, irradiance: 46 and 91 mW/cm2) and ultrasound (power: 30 w, frequency: 1.65 MHz) at 20 ± 1°C of the water bulk temperature for 2 min. The combination of laser and ultrasound irradiation significantly reduced the viable bacterial count in comparison with the laser irradiation of H2O2 alone. By contrast, the ultrasound irradiation alone exerted almost no bactericidal effect. These results suggested that the combination effect of photolysis of H2O2 and sonolysis of water on bactericidal activity was synergistic. A multi-way analysis of variance also revealed that the interaction of H2O2 concentration, laser power and ultrasound irradiation significantly affected the bactericidal activity. Since the result of oxidative DNA damage evaluation demonstrated that the combination of laser and ultrasound irradiation significantly induced oxidative damage of bacterial DNA in comparison with the laser irradiation of H2O2 alone, it was suggested that the combination effect of photolysis of H2O2 and sonolysis of water on bactericidal activity would be exerted via oxidative damage of cellular components such as DNA.

As global and local environmental changes continue to reshape precipitation patterns, wildlife behaviors and public health issues, the City of East Lansing is tackling a slew of projects aimed at increasing public awareness and minimize damage.
East Lansing Environmental Specialist Cliff Walls provided an update on several city environmental services and projects at the Oct. 18 city council meeting. While most council members seemed content to simply receive the information, council member George Brookover raised pointed questions about the city's recycling program.
The city looks after the municipal sections of the East Lansing Urban Forest.
East Lansing celebrated its 35th year as "Tree City, USA" by planting an oak tree at Green Elementary School on Arbor Day. Walls said the city is on track to plant about 110 or 120 trees this year. This figure is similar to previous years, but he would like to increase plantings in the future.
In contrast, the city will remove about 50 trees this year. Walls said the withdrawal was a last resort, but sometimes necessary.
"It breaks my heart every time," he said. "We only remove trees when they are diseased, dying, or a threat to public safety or infrastructure."
Last year, for example, the city decided to shoot down three mature honey locusts in front of the East Lansing Public Library because they were damaging the sidewalk and clogging roof drains.
To reduce the number of removals required in the future, new trees are carefully selected based on the size they will be when fully grown to ensure there are no conflicts with nearby infrastructure , Walls said. In practice, this often means small trees where large trees used to flower.
The walls focused on city actions, but hundreds of trees in East Lansing have been felled over the past decade due to BWL's tree-cutting program after the devastating 2013 ice storm. Diseases like the emerald ash borer have wiped out thousands more. As ELi reported last year, oak trees in the region are now threatened by oak wilt.
ELi has heard from a number of readers who note that the loss of large trees means greater water drainage problems. A mature oak tree, for example, can handle 40,000 gallons of water in a year.
Walls highlighted the city's online forums where residents can request that a tree on public land be removed if it is diseased, damaged or poses a threat. The city also has guidelines for planting trees.
Beyond simple recycling, the city is considering compacting, composting and education.
Walls then discussed areas where the city's recycling program was making progress.
First, he introduced "Recycle Coach," a website, widget, and mobile app that can help East Lansing residents know where and when to recycle what. The online tool can be used to receive notifications when collections for things like recycling or yard waste are imminent.
Recycle Coach also lets residents know where they can recycle certain materials like plastic foam and batteries. Hopefully, Walls said, Recycle Coach will reduce the volume of calls to the Department of Public Works.
Walls also said there are two projects underway through grants given to East Lansing and Lansing. The first is research on the development of a composting program. It is unclear how the information will be used, but it could be used to implement a local program or marketed to private companies who wish to implement a composting program in another community.
The second grant, also in partnership with Lansing, is to develop a recycling education center.
"The idea behind it is to have a place to bring students, lawmakers, just to have a place in the capital where there can be conversations and education around [recycling]Murs said.
Walls told Council the city is pursuing another grant with funding of more than $320,000 to add two 40-yard compaction units for DPW to compact cardboard. Walls said the compactors could allow the city to reduce staff time and truck miles traveled (including carbon emissions) by 10 times.
In addition, the grant would fund a polystyrene densifier, which removes 98% of the air in polystyrene and can turn a truckload of polystyrene into a pallet. The product created can then be sold for special uses.
Contamination of recyclable materials is a big problem. The city is using the AI to try to fix it.
Walls also provided an update on the city's pilot program to reduce contamination in curbside recycling bins. When people put things that aren't recyclable in recycling bins, it can contaminate entire loads and send them to landfill. Also, just because something is labeled as recyclable doesn't mean the city's materials recovery facility will accept it. (A material recovery system is where recycling materials are sent to be prepared for sale to buyers. East Lansing uses the Emterra facility in Lansing.)
"We recognize that it's very confusing," he said. "Something says it's recyclable, it's marketed as recyclable, it has a recycling symbol on it. It doesn't necessarily matter. This is what is accepted and what technology exists at your local material recovery facility to deal with it.
The City has a contractual obligation with its Materials Recovery Center to maintain a contamination threshold below 8%. But East Lansing's contamination level is over 15%. This not only sends "recycled" materials to landfills, but it increases East Lansing's costs, as the city has to pay for disposal.
Council member Brookover posed a series of questions, in response, about what the recycling program is costing the city and whether there are cheaper alternatives. City Manager George Lahanas said he would get that information.
Regarding contamination, Walls explained that Lansing asks workers to check what's in recycling bins to communicate directly with residents if they put trash in their bins. However, it is time-consuming, weather-dependent, leaves incomplete data, and is expensive.
As an alternative, East Lansing has partnered with The Recycling Partnership, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE), and Prairie Robotics to launch the first municipal campaign pilot in the United States that uses artificial intelligence to try to reduce contamination through recycling. .
For the program, which was announced this fall, cameras have been installed in recycling trucks that identify large items that contaminate recycling. The cameras also look for plastic bags, plastic wraps and other "tangles" that can damage recycling equipment.
Artificial intelligence identifies these contaminants so that a postcard with a photo of the contaminant can be sent to the address where the problem occurred. The postcard also links to the Recycle Coach website so the resident can learn more. The Ohio State University is studying the effectiveness of this approach.
Brookover expressed concern about the prospect of having a camera to take pictures of people recycling.
But Lahanas noted that anything put in the trash becomes public and said if people are worried they should shred sensitive documents. Added walls, non-trash items are blurred, and photos are taken in low resolution.
Impermeable "hot spots" are identified using a new system.
Walls highlighted East Lansing's involvement in the Catalyst Communities Leadership Circle, a cohort of Michigan communities seeking to be leaders in sustainability. Through the program, the city received a grant that allowed it to hire a graduate student on a scholarship for 10 weeks and 40 hours per week.
The fellow was a GIS expert who spent his time mapping impermeable surface hotspots in the city. Impermeable surfaces are surfaces that cannot absorb water. The project can be helpful in mitigating flooding and determining areas most in need of new infrastructure.
Walls said the project has garnered a lot of attention across the state because such information is usually very expensive to obtain. The fellow was able to train the algorithm to be "90%" efficient, giving a municipality a first look at areas that need attention.
The city is betting on more renewable energies.
Walls told the Council that the city was still in talks to develop a solar panel at the Department of Public Works on State Road. He said that with the amount of space available, the solar panel could cover 330% of the department's energy costs.
"If we could do something like this, it would really help us achieve our goal of 100% renewable electric power by 2030," he said.
Walls said there are still hurdles to making the solar panel, such as working with utility partners to lift restrictions.
Walls concluded his presentation by talking about two grant opportunities.
The first runs through EGLE and would address flooding, stormwater management and extreme weather through green infrastructure and nature-based solutions. There is $14.25 million up for grabs in this pool, with a maximum request limit of $1.5 million.
An additional $50 million is being made available by the Michigan Public Service Commission, funds to be used for the development and improvement of low-carbon energy infrastructure.
"We need to know more, but there is potentially a funding stream for something like the DPW solar panel or other projects like that," Walls said.

Title:RESTRICT=interactive

Abstract
This GLEP proposes a new value for the RESTRICT metadata variable in ebuilds to indicate that an ebuild requires interaction by the user.
Motivation
Certain ebuilds in the current tree require certain actions from the user to progress. A popular example are ebuilds that require physical media (cd/dvd-rom) for their distfiles instead of fetching them form the net. However ebuilds are supposed to be non-interactive, so this behavior, while sometimes necessary, violates existing policies. To account for this situation a new RESTRICT value should be added to allow filtering those ebuilds based on metadata and to inform users upfront (when displaying the depgraph) that a certain package will require their attention during the build process.
Specification
Portage (and by extension other package managers) will support a new value for the RESTRICT metadata variable called interactive. This value may be used by the package manager and tools using its API to filter packages that require interactive actions (for example to mask them in automated build environments). How the package manager exactly reacts on the presence of this new flag is beyond this specification, but it's recommended to indicate it's presence to the user whenever relevant.
This new setting should be used in ebuilds if it is known that they _typically_ require user attention during the build process. If an ebuild just has a limited risk of becoming interactive (like using the built_with_use function) it shouldn't be restricted.
Rationale
The new RESTRICT=interactive metadata setting will give us the following benefits:
 1. Enable masking of interactive ebuilds for automated build environments
 2. Metadata based searching for interactive ebuilds (superior to grep)
 3. Less frustrated users caused by hanging build processes
This proposal does not change the existing policy regarding interactive ebuilds (ebuilds still should be non-interactive whenever possible), it merely states a way to identify them.
Backwards Compatibility
Strictly speaking this extension would requires an EAPI bump, however as existing portage ignore unknown RESTRICT values it shouldn't cause any real breakage to introduce it without.

Chaotic scattering of atoms at a standing laser wave
Laboratory of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems, Pacific Oceanological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences 43 Baltiiskaya st., 690041 Vladivostok, Russia
Received: 26 December 2011
Accepted: 26 June 2012
Atoms, propagating across a detuned standing laser wave, can be scattered in a chaotic way even in the absence of spontaneous emission and any modulation of the laser field. Spontaneous emission masks the effect in some degree, but the Monte Carlo simulation shows that it can be observed in real experiments by the absorption imaging method or depositing atoms on a substrate. The effect of chaotic scattering is explained by a specific behavior of the dipole moments of atoms crossing the field nodes and is shown to depend strongly on the value of the atom-laser detuning.

Missing Pictures in Samsung Galaxy S3 Gallery
If you have noticed that some folders or pictures in your Samsung Galaxy S3 gallery are missing, you might have just accidentally hidden or deleted them. It is also possible that it is an effect of a glitch in your system or app.
A. Restart The Phone
Most of the time, the system of the phone just needs to be refreshed after a long use. So, do a simple restart first.
B. Check Hidden Files
There are also times when you have just accidentally hidden the folders of the Galaxy S3 gallery or this may be caused by someone who gained access to your Galaxy S3 without your knowledge like your child. So, check if the missing photos or folders that you are looking for in your Galaxy S3 gallery are just hidden by performing the steps below:
1. Open the My Files app which is located in the Home screen.
2. Press the Menu key and go to Settings.
3. Check the box that will show the hidden files of your phone.
4. If you want to remove the status of the file as hidden, just remove the quotes (the " and " symbols) before and after its file name.
C. Retrieve Missing Photos Using Third-Party Apps
There are apps that will enable you to retieve your missing files such as photos, text messages and contacts. One of the popular software being used by several Android owners is Dr. Fone. Click this link to our previous article for a detailed guide on how to use it for retrieving the deleted photos in the Galaxy S3 gallery or other lost data in your device.

Cultural Map of the World (Inglehart-Welzel)
This is an application of a factor analysis plot, used in this case to display the 'cultural proximity' of several countries. This proximity is calculated based on survey scores on areas such as politics, religion and social life. The data is'reduced' to some dimensions (displayed in the axis of the chart) and then plot according to how much they load in each dimension. This type of graph is used specially in qualitative research.

The normal spectral emissivity of niobium strip specimen is measured using a new pulse-heating reflectometric technique. The hemispherical spectral reflectivity of the surface of a strip tangent to an integrating sphere is determined by a high-speed lock-in technique. At the same time, the radiance temperature of the strip is measured by the multi-wavelength high-speed pyrometer from approximately 1000 K to the melting point. Details of the measurement method and of the related calibration techniques are reported. Results of the normal spectral emissivity of niobium at 633, 753, 827, and 905 nm from room temperature to its melting point are presented. The accuracy of spectral emissivities is estimated better than 5%.

[R] Multiple regression trees
_EMAIL_ fietz at dionea.ch
Mon Oct 11 16:07:25 CEST 2004
Dear list,
I'm quite new in R, but I'm working with multiple regression trees and I
would like to know a couple of things:
1. how can I label the regression tree with the number of node (each node
should be labled with its number)
2. I like to know for each end node (leaves) the number of occurency for
each response variable (species) that falls in that group.The tree-plot
gives me only the number of sites that falls in each leave.
Thank you in advance
Annette

Riposte is a fighting command which can be used to rapidly counterstrike against an opponent following a successful parry, providing an almost free attack.
Riposte may be only be performed when armed, and when the player's tactics-response is set to either 'parry' or 'neutral'. Command help describes riposte as a thrust attack and it seems to only work with weapons that can either Stab or Pierce. You need sufficient Strength relative to the weight of the weapon (see Research:Riposte).
Riposting is a three-stage process:
 1. The player must pass a fighting.special.weapon skillcheck in order to prepare the command.
 2. They must then successfully parry an incoming attack against the opponent on whom they are executing the riposte.
 3. They then perform a normal skillcheck of their appropriate fighting.melee weapon skill for an extra attack.
Riposte gives the player a single extra attack that has a very low action point costresearch. Note that a riposte attack is essentially a normal attack - it doesn't do significantly more damage than normal, and it can be defended against just like any other attack.

Aqua Max Sport Fish 500, 3/16 Inch(4.8mm) Extruded Floating Fish Food For Trout, Bluegill, Hybrid Striped Bass, Feed Trained Largemouth Bass, Yellow Perch, Sunfish, Crappie, Red Drum, and Many Other Species, 18 Ounces
$19.95 - $18.95
(as of May 20,2022 08:23:39 UTC – Details)
AquaMax products are formulated to be high energy, nutrient dense diets. These highly-digestible diets enable fish to more efficiently utilize nutrients which in turn reduces the biological load in the water column. The extruded pellets reduce the amount of fine feed dust material which helps maintain water quality by minimizing feed waste. Excessive feed fines in water can lodge in fish gills in some species and attract bacteria and fungus. By reducing these feed fines, AquaMax fish diets provide an added health benefit to fish.Ingredients used in manufacturing Purina fish diets are the highest quality in order to maintain consistent nutrition from bag to bag. "Rule of thumb" The lowest priced feed usually does not produce the lowest feed cost per unit gain- Purina feed may cost more per pound than other brands, however because it is higher in nutrients, you actually have to feed less to your fish – which makes Purina fish feeds a tremendous value
Extruded Floating Pellets, 3/16″ (4.8mm). Precision Extrusion Reduces Fines For Less Waste Which Results In A Better Feed Conversion Ratio(FCR) And Water Quality.

Using Stream's Real-Time Messaging API with Amazon Translate
Is your chat going global? Worry less about the language barrier when you pair Amazon Translate with our real-time messaging API.
When powering a chat product in a global environment, multilingual support should be top-of-mind. Doing so allows you to ensure that the communication barrier between yourself and the user on the other end is not broken.
Adding multilingual functionality to Stream Chat is easy with the support that Stream provides. In this tutorial, I'll walk you through the inner workings of building multilingual chat with Stream Chat and Amazon Translate.
Here is a preview of what you will build at the end of this tutorial:
You can also find the complete code of this tutorial on GitHub.
To follow along with this tutorial, you will need to have the following:
 - A basic understanding of JavaScript
 - A basic understanding of Vue.js
 - You should also have Node installed on your system (version 8.9 or above — preferably the latest 12.x) and a basic understanding of Node
 - You should have yarn installed on your system
 - Have an understanding of how Vue sends data from a child to its parent component.
If you have all the above ready, then let's get started!
Set up the Client App – Create a New Vue App
Using the Vue CLI, we can easily create a new Vue app.
Accessing the URL displayed on your terminal will take you to a Vue default page.
Get Your API Keys
Stream Chat Keys
To start using the Stream Chat API, you need to have an API key. Create an account here or log in if you already have an account.
Then, from your dashboard:
 - Create a new app using any convenient name.
 - Fill in the App Name
Finally, submit the form by clicking on the Submit button to create the app
Once the app is created, you will be provided with a few options within your dashboard. Select Chat to go the Stream Chat dashboard.
Finally, create a.env file in the root directory of the project and add your Stream keys:
Remember to replace and with the correct app keys you have noted above.
AWS App Keys
Amazon Translate uses advanced machine learning technologies to provide high-quality translation on demand. We'll use the service to translate text from one language to another.
Now, head over to the Amazon website and create an account or log in if you already have an account.
 1. From your console, head to the My Security Credentials page:
 1. Click on Continue to Security Credentials for the pop that comes up.
 1. Click on the Access keys (access key ID and secret access key) tab and then click on Create New Account Key button.
 2. Copy your Access Key ID and Secret Account Key and then update and placeholders respectively in the.env file.
Set up the Server
We'll be using Node to power the server.
Create a new directory named server in the root directory of the project. Then open up a new terminal and then change your current directory to the server directory.
Next, install the following dependencies that we'll need for the server:
The above dependencies include:
 - express - A Node framework we are using to build our server
 - aws-sdk - AWS Translate Node SDK
 - dotenv - An npm package for parsing configs from.env files
 - cors,body-parser, anddotenv (all excellent npm packages)
Next, create an Express app by creating a new file named app.js to the server directory and then add the following code to it:
In the code above, after importing the packages that we have installed,
 - We created anExpress app using const app = express()**;**
 - Next, we initialize the Stream Chat SDK
 - Then finally, we created an endpoint - / (**app.get('/',…**) for testing to know if the app works. So, if you visithttp://localhost:3000/, you will get a message — { hello: 'World!'}
To initialize the Stream Chat SDK, it requires a valid token. Create a new endpoint for creating a token.
Next, create a new endpoint for translating messages:
To translate a message, we'll send a POST request to this endpoint passing along the language code of the language that we want to translate to (targetLanguage) and also the text that we want to translate (text).
Also, we are setting the SouceLanguageCode to auto so that the language is automatically detected.
The result of the request is a JSON object containing the translated text.
Finally, start up the server:
If it starts successfully, you will see a message printed to the terminal - "Node app listening on port 3000!"
Building the App Interface
For brevity's sake, we'll divide the app into four components:
 - Messages.vue - for listing messages
 - Login.vue - displays the login form
 - Channels - for listing channels
 - InputForm - renders a form for adding new messages
Create the files Messages.vue**, Login.vue**, Channels.vue, and Login.vue files into the src/components directory.
To keep the component file as minimal as possible, I have added all the CSS of the components to a single CSS file. Create the CSS file asApp.css in the src directory of the project and then add the below styles to it:
The Login Component
We are using the login form to get the username of a user which we'll use to generate a token for that user. Then the token is used for initializing the Stream Chat SDK. The username is meant to be unique for identifying users.
However, for simplicity sake, we are not doing real authentication. This is the better place for you to authenticate your users in your database if you want to limit access to only the users that you know.
Now, update the Login component with the below code:
The Messages Component
Next, add the messages component for listing messages for a given channel:
Here, we are passing the array of messages for a given channel as props to this component. Also, using the messageDirection function, we determine the direction to place a message to either left or right depending on who sent the message.
The InputForm Component
Next, add the code that defines the InputForm component for adding new messages:
The Channels Component
Next, add the code that defines the channels component:
In this component, we are listing the channels that we have on our app. Also, we added a form for creating a new channel.
The App Component
Finally, bring all the components together by replacing the content in the src/App.vue file with the below:
In the preceding code,
 - We import all the components that we have created and render them to the template section.
 - If authenticated is false, we render the login component else we render the chat interface.
 - In the select tag (

Business Assessment Profiling – overview
A key tool for the business analyst is the Business Assessment Profile. Ideally, it is the key reporting tool within an organisation. Using the Minitab statistical analysis software programme, the Business Assessment Profile presents senior decision-makers with relevant data in a format that enables them to make real business decisions. The Business Assessment Profile should be used to help ensure continued alignment of the organisation's products / services / processes with the needs of its customers and stakeholders.
This intensive four-day workshop is designed to help business analysts and others master the techniques required for producing a Business Assessment Profile, following a structured process built around:
- Understanding the needs of the customer
- Understanding the needs of the organisation
- Understanding the key statistical concepts
- Understanding how best to put it all into practice.
Full details below or download course outline.
By the end of the programme participants will have completed, or gone substantially towards completing, a Business Assessment Profile which will encompass:
- Key customers and their requirements
- A control plan to ensure that the performance will be measured
- Key objectives and their measures
- A Business Assessment Analysis
- Strategic business objectives
- Key measures relating to strategic business objectives
Additionally, participants will be able to:
- Develop a business-wide measurement deployment strategy
- Understand key statistical concepts to aid in the development of key measures
- Present data more effectively
All business analysts and any other staff engaged in the reporting and measurement of the business.
The programme includes extensive practical analysis exercises and all participants will need access in the classroom to a laptop / computer with Minitab installed.
Relevant case studies will be used throughout the programme and participants will be expected to bring examples of data collection and analysis from within the organisation.
Given the practical nature of this workshop-style programme, there is a maximum limit of twelve participants (minimum four).
This programme is very practical and is based on all participants having a laptop or PC in the training room with Minitab installed. Minitab is the leading statistical software package used for quality improvement worldwide.

Fabric calculator - a better way to do it?
by ailie (Friar)
on Dec 06, 2001 at 04:04 UTC ( #129813=perlquestion: print w/ replies, xml ) Need Help??
This is a script I wrote to calculate how much fabric I need when making various quilt blocks. At the moment it's run from the command line, but I'd like to eventually get it so it can be run from a web page. That's where I really started to get frustrated. Alternately, a GUI might be sort of neat.
Anyway, I would be interested in receiving feedback on the script as it stands now. I have a vague feeling that perhaps there are better, cleaner ways to do much of what I've got, and I'd like to learn them.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; # How many fabrics are you using? my $j; my $number_of_fabrics; print "How many fabrics are you using? \n"; chomp($number_of_fabrics = ); for ($j = 1; $j <= $number_of_fabrics; $j++) { # How wide is the fabric you are using? my %fabric_width; my $fab_width; print "How wide is fabric $j? \n"; chomp($fab_width = ); $fabric_width{$j} = $fab_width - 2; print "To be safe, we'll use a width of $fabric_width{$j} for fabri +c $j. \n"; # How many different shapes is a block made of? my $number_of_shapes; print "How many different shapes of fabric $j is a block made of? \ +n"; chomp($number_of_shapes = ); # What are the dimensions of the shapes? my $i; my %width; my %height; my %shape; my $piece; for ($i = 1; $i <= $number_of_shapes; $i++) { my $shape_width; print "What is the width of shape $i? \n"; chomp($shape_width = ); $width{$i} = $shape_width; my $shape_height; print "What is the height of shape $i? \n"; chomp($shape_height = ); $height{$i} = $shape_height; $shape{$i} = $shape_width. "x". $shape_height; } print "Shape dimensions: \n"; foreach $i (keys (%shape)) { print "The dimensions of shape $i are $shape{$i}\n"; } # For each shape, how many can be made per yard of fabric? my $number_per_fabric_width_strip; my $strips_per_yard; my $number_per_yard; my $number_of_pieces; my %pieces; my $number_of_strips; my $strip_yardage; my $remainder; my $fabric_yardage; my $number_of_blocks; my $total_pieces; foreach $i (keys (%height)) { $number_per_fabric_width_strip = $fabric_width{$j} / ($height{$i +}); $number_per_fabric_width_strip = int $number_per_fabric_width_st +rip; print "You can get $number_per_fabric_width_strip piece(s) of sh +ape $i per $width{$i}\" strip of fabric $j.\n"; $strips_per_yard = 36 / ($width{$i}); $strips_per_yard = int $strips_per_yard; print "You can get $strips_per_yard $width{$i}\" strips per yard +. \n"; $number_per_yard = $number_per_fabric_width_strip * $strips_per_ +yard; print "You can get $number_per_yard of shape $i per yard of $fabric_width{$j}\" of fabric $j. \n"; print "How many of shape $i do you need per block? \n"; chomp($number_of_pieces = ); $pieces{$i} = "$number_of_pieces"; print "You need $number_of_pieces per block. \n"; print "How many blocks are you making? \n"; chomp($number_of_blocks = ); print "You are making $number_of_blocks blocks. \n"; $total_pieces = $number_of_pieces * $number_of_blocks; print "You need $total_pieces of shape $i. \n"; if ($total_pieces <= $number_per_fabric_width_strip) { print "You will need one $width{$i}\" strip of fabric $j. \n" +; } else { $number_of_strips = $total_pieces / $number_per_fabric_width_ +strip; $number_of_strips = int $number_of_strips; $remainder = $total_pieces % $number_per_fabric_width_strip; $strip_yardage= $number_of_strips * $width{$i}; if ($remainder == 0) { print "You will need exactly $strip_yardage\". \n"; } else { $fabric_yardage = $strip_yardage + $width{$i}; print "You will need $fabric_yardage\" of fabric $j. The last +$width{$i}\" strip will have only $remainder pieces cut from it. \n"; } } } }

 A few suggestions,
 Most of these are rather cosmetic, but they should help readability.
 Considering how many times you read from STDIN you may want to farm that part out to a subroutine. It would remove clutter from the rest of the code and should be a bit more maintainable later.
 For structures like %width an array seems to make more sense than a hash. It works either way, but it's probably a good idea to try and use more appropriate tools when possible.
 Also you can reduce the number of variables you have to keep track of by using a hash for multiple things. For example, your $number_of_* variables in the last section could probably be written as (using a subroutine for getting STDIN):
 my %number; $number{blocks} = get_input("How many blocks are you making?"); $number{strips} = int( $total_pieces / $number_per_fabric_width_strip) +; etc...

 This is me just being a monkey and testing the script out:
 F:\dev>perl How many fabrics are you using? 2 How wide is fabric 1? 1 To be safe, we'll use a width of -1 for fabric 1. How many different shapes of fabric 1 is a block made of? 1 What is the width of shape 1? 1 What is the height of shape 1? 2 Shape dimensions: The dimensions of shape 1 are 1x2 You can get 0 piece(s) of shape 1 per 1" strip of fabric 1. You can get 36 1" strips per yard. You can get 0 of shape 1 per yard of -1" of fabric 1. How many of shape 1 do you need per block? 23 You need 23 per block. How many blocks are you making? 2 You are making 2 blocks. You need 46 of shape 1. Illegal division by zero at line 88, line 7. F:\dev>
 I'll update this node after I've messed with the code.
 My monkeying around immediately proves insightful into how you can improve this (at least it appears so to me).
 A good strategy might be to turn this into a module, and then, write "interfaces" for it, like commandline, CGI, GUI. All I have to say at this point is, not bad quiltmaker (some of your math may be funny, but useful to real people and immensly perlmonkish -- no prog/perl bg, good practices at the beginning). I see sanity checks, units of measurement conversions, price estimation.... ;D
 #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; # How many fabrics are you using? my $number_of_fabrics; print "How many fabrics are you using? \n"; chomp($number_of_fabrics = ); $number_of_fabrics =~ s/\D//; # only allow number input ## $number_of_fabrics ||= 3; # assume default quietly unless($number_of_fabrics and $number_of_fabrics >=3 ) { warn "Ahem!!! You must enter a NUMBER >= 3, but that's ok, default + is 3"; $number_of_fabrics = 3; } #... more to come... ;D

 Wow. It never even occurred to me to put in widths like that, since quilting fabric is

I like your question!
Low surface pressure on Mars (averaging 600 Pa or about 1/170 of Earth's at sea level) is only one difficulty that an organism would have to contend with. In addition, mean surface temperatures are ~210 K (-63 C), the surface ultraviolet flux is extremely high (no ozone layer) and an aridity comparable to the Atacama desert. On the plus side, a 95% CO2 atmosphere might promote photosynthesis.
So, higher plants are extremely unlikely to prosper on Mars. Purely in terms of pressure, experiments suggest that at 1/10 Earth atmospheric pressure vascular plant transpiration increases significantly. So much so that they enter into a drought response which often leads to plant death.
However, lichens may be another matter. These are often adapted to low precipitation/pressure environments such as high mountains. Indeed, this article addresses exactly your question (sadly it is not open access). The authors suggest that the lichen Xanthoria elegans experiences no loss in vitality after 22 days exposure to laboratory Mars-like conditions (low pressure, low temperature etc.)!
Having skimmed this article I am frankly amazed (and slightly dubious) at the result. However, it should be noted that they only ran the experiment for 22 days, applied no ionising radiation (to simulate the high UV flux) and make little mention of the precise metabolic state of the lichen. If it has entered into cryptobiosis (cessation of metabolic processes) then it can't exactly be regarded as prospering.

Configure a step to review Dynamic Analysis results with pipeline builds
You can add a step to your Jenkins pipeline project to get scan results from a Dynamic Analysis of your application.
Before you begin:
 - You meet the prerequisites.
 - You have installed the Jenkins Plugin.
 - For added security, Veracode highly recommends using the Credentials Binding plugin to manage your credentials. You use the plugin to bind your credentials to environment variables, which prevents your credentials from appearing in the Jenkins interface. See Protect Veracode credentials in Jenkins pipeline builds.
 - You must have already linked an existing Dynamic Analysis to an application profile with a Veracode policy. See Manually link Dynamic Analysis results to an application profile. If the Dynamic Analysis is linked to multiple URLs, you cannot view the analysis results in Jenkins. Therefore, you can either unlink URLs until there is only one linked to the Dynamic Analysis, or you can view the results in the Veracode Platform.
Veracode recommends using a snippet generator to create code snippets for routinely repeated steps in your build/test/deploy pipeline.
To complete this task:
 1. In your Jenkins pipeline project, select Configure > Pipeline.
 2. Select Pipeline Syntax to display the Snippet Generator page.
 3. From the Sample Step dropdown menu, select veracodeDynamicAnalysisReview: Review Veracode Dynamic Analysis Results.
 4. Enter the number of hours to wait for analysis results to be available.
 5. Select whether to fail the Jenkins build if the analysis violates a linked Veracode policy.
 6. Enter your API credentials.
 note
 If your Veracode API credentials are bound to environment variables, you can enter the environment variables for the API ID and API key.
 7. Select Run in debug mode to collect detailed information about the analysis. The plugin stores the information in the console log of each Jenkins project.
 8. If you are using a proxy host to connect to the Veracode Platform, select Connect using proxy and enter the proxy host information.
 9. Select Generate Pipeline Script to generate a script using the selected settings.
 This example shows a script using bound credentials. The values for the Veracode API user ID (vid) and API key (vkey) are the environment variables which map to the actual credentials in the Jenkins credential store.
 veracodeDynamicAnalysisReview debug: true, failBuildForPolicyViolation: true, vid: 'VERACODE_API_ID', vkey: 'VERACODE_API_KEY' waitForResultsDuration: 1
 10. Copy the pipeline script, which you add to your pipeline project.
 11. Go back to the main page for your pipeline project.
 12. Select Configure > Pipeline.
 13. In the Pipeline section, paste the script into the Script field.
 14. Delete the quotes from around the values for vid and vkey.
 15. Select Apply to save your changes.
 16. Go back to the main page for your pipeline project.
 17. Select Build Now and wait for the build and analysis to complete successfully.
 18. Under Build History, select a build number.
 19. Select Veracode Dynamic Analysis to review the results of the analysis.
 In the results, you can select the View Executive Summary link to view additional information in the Veracode Platform.

Measurement of Dynamic Pressure in Shock Tube by Streak Photography,
MARCO SCIENTIFIC INC SUNNYVALE CA
Pagination or Media Count:
Instrumentation for application of the Mach angle technique to measure dynamic pressure of the stream flow in a shock tube is described. To develop Mach lines suitable for observation, a small conical probe was mounted on axis at the test station. An image converter camera, optics and a standard electronic flash lamp completed the instrumentation. In operation, a Mach cone was generated around the probe following passage of the incident shock wave. Conical flow theory relates the Mach angle to the flow Mach number and dynamic pressure. Photographs of the Mach cone were obtained for framing the streak mode of recording. It was found that a streak record offered the best detail of the flow.

type, sun exposure, and irrigation.
The type of soil plays a significant role in determining the appropriate spacing distance for bells of Ireland. These plants thrive in moderately fertile and well-draining soils. The soil should be rich in organic matter and should not hold onto water as waterlogged soil can cause root rot. You can test your soil type by performing a soil analysis to determine the pH level, nutrient level, and soil texture. Usually, the soil should have enough space for the plant to grow freely while preventing overcrowding, which could compromise growth. Spacing for bells of Ireland should be about 15 to 18 inches apart in all directions.
Bells of Ireland need full sunlight to grow optimally. Adequate sun exposure allows the plants to produce more buds and flowers, making them more attractive. When determining the plant spacing, gardeners should consider the amount of sunlight the area receives. If the soil gets partial or minimal sunlight, then the plants should be spaced at least 18 inches apart. If the soil receives full sunlight, a spacing distance of 12-15 inches is acceptable.
Bells of Ireland require moderate watering to thrive. Gardeners should ensure that the soil is evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Overwatering can cause root rot, which can result in the plant dying. On the other hand, inadequate watering can lead to the plant withering. When planting, the gardener should not place the plants too close to each other, as it can lead to overcrowding, causing the plants to compete for water. Therefore, the recommended spacing for bells of Ireland must be 15-18 inches apart.
In conclusion, spacing for bells of Ireland plants is necessary to ensure healthy growth, proper airflow, and pest control. Three important factors gardeners must consider before deciding on the appropriate spacing distance are soil type, sun exposure, and irrigation. For best results, gardeners should space their bells of Ireland plants about 15-18 inches apart in all directions. Taking these factors into consideration will help gardeners enjoy the beauty of these delightful plants for years to come.

Are there any tips or best practices for spacing bells of Ireland to create an attractive and healthy display?
Bells of Ireland, also known as Moluccella laevis, are beautiful and unique flowers that are often used in a variety of floral arrangements. However, when spacing these plants, it is important to keep in mind certain tips and best practices in order to create an attractive and healthy display.
First and foremost, it is essential to space bells of Ireland plants properly. These plants can grow up to 3 feet tall and about 18 inches wide. Therefore, spacing should be at least 18 inches apart. This ensures that there is enough room for each plant to grow to its full potential.
Bells of Ireland require well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Before planting, it is recommended to amend the soil with compost or other organic materials. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
Sun and Water
Bells of Ireland require full sun to partial shade, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to thrive. It is also essential to provide adequate water for these plants. They require consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. However, overwatering can lead to root rot and other fungal diseases.
Bells of Ireland plants require regular fertilization to maintain healthy growth and abundant blooms. It is best to use a balanced fertilizer that is high in phosphorus, which promotes flower production. Fertilize the plants about once a month during the growing season, but be sure not to over-fertilize, which can cause weak and spindly growth.
To encourage healthy growth and prolong the blooming period of bells of Ireland, it is essential to prune them regularly. Deadhead the fading flowers by pinching them off at the base of the stem. Pruning encourages the plant to produce new blooms and also helps to keep the plant tidy.
In conclusion, these are some best practices and tips for spacing bells of Ireland to create an attractive and healthy display. Proper spacing, well-draining soil, adequate sun and water, regular fertilization, and consistent pruning are essential for the healthy growth and abundant blooms of bells of Ireland. Follow these tips, and you'll enjoy a beautiful display of these lovely and unique flowers.

In this article we will walk through working with an already created People Flow. First, we will talk through adding people to a People Flow and then about how to add and editing the steps of the flow.
There are a number of ways to add people to people flows.
 1. From within the People Flow itself
 2. From a person's profile
 3. Using Mass Manage, a form, or another People Flow
From within the People Flow
To add people to a People Flow from within a particular flow, you first need to click into a particular step of the flow.
This will take you to a screen such as the one below. To add a person, simply press the 'Add Person to This Step' button and search for their name.
From their Profile
To add someone to a People Flow from within their profile, simply click 'Add to People Flow' in the blue sidebar.
This will bring up an 'Add to people flow' window. Simply select the flow you want to add them to.
Then simply the step, or steps you want to add them to, and assign an administrator.
Using Mass Manage, Forms or other People Flow steps
To add an individual or a group of people to a flow using the Mass Manage or Forms features, simply select the option of 'Add to People Flow' in the first action dropdown. Select the People Flow you want to add them to, and then assign which step and administrator.
That's it! Just follow the directions above and you will be able to add people into an already created People Flow.
Adding/Editing a new People Flow Step
To add a step to a People Flow from within the flow, press the 'Add Step' button.
Editing an existing People Flow step
To edit an existing People Flow step, simply select 'Edit' next to the step.
Both of these options bring up the same window. From this window you can edit a number of settings.
Some of the more important areas to pay attention to:
Due Date
This setting changes when a person is 'due' to be completed from the step. For instance, you may want someone to be processed immediately when added to a step, or the step might require that they are processed a set number of days after being added. There are a number of settings available – most of them are relative to the date they were added to the people flow step.
Hide Pending
This setting changes when people due within the flow will appear on the assigned administrator's dashboard, relative to when the person is due. For instance, if 'John Bubble' is due to be actioned on the 15th of March, and the 'Hide Pending' setting is set to 4 days, John won't appear on the dashboard until the 11th of March.
This setting changes if you want an email to be sent to the administrators of the People Flow step when someone is added to the step. If this option is selected and a person is added to the People Flow step without being assigned to an administrator, an email will be sent out to all administrators. If they have been assigned to an administrator, only the assigned administrator will receive the email.
These settings allow you to define the People Flow actions that are to be made upon completion of a step. You can choose from a range of actions, allowing you to change people's information, people categories, groups etc.
The 'Automated' setting for actions allows you to define whether you want the action to be applied to every person that goes through the step.
If you have any questions on any of these processes, please feel free to reach out to us directly at and we will be able to help you from there :)

++Mind vs Body in programming Is Dualism the future of programming? I like the RubyLanguage. Yet, I feel strange with the motto "In Ruby everything is an object". On the contrary I believe it is useful to pretend that some "things" are Objects and some other "things" are Values. Maybe I am not a Materialist. Let me explain. + Objects vs Values What is the difference between an Object and a Value? It's like the difference between material things and immaterial ideas. Objects must live in some body/place/container, whereas Values can live in multiple "minds" simultaneously. ++ Objects As I first read in a Grady Booch book a long long time ago, an Object has 3 main characteristics: # an *Identity*. A unique /identifier/ that makes it possible to "reference" a specific unique Object # a *State*, that can be represented using a *Value*. That state/value may or may not change over time # a *Behavior*, that defines how the Object will react when some "method" is invoked. Often the behavior depends on the "class" of the object (the "class" is part of the value). ++ Values Example of values include so called /primitive/ values like integers and floating point numbers, strings, dates. Some languages extend the notion to tables, lists, records, etc. But the notion of *value semantics* goes deeper, it relates to the idea that a value is an "in extenso" description of something (whereas a an object is that something itself). Values exist the way ideas exists, not the way a physical thing exist. Values are... # are *immutable*. They cannot change, they cannot "mutate". That means that the Value's value never changes! If string "ABC" is a value, then "ABD" is a different value. There is no way "ABC" can turn into "ABD". # are intrinsically *unique*. Integer 3 "exists" once only, there are no two integers 3, there never will. Values are neither created nor destroyed, they simply are, always have been and always will be. # are *self-identified*. Ie. the Value's identity is the Value itself. ++ An over simplification? Because Object Oriented languages use objects to represent values, they kind of hide the difference between Objects and Values. Everything becomes an Object. This is presented as an advantage. It is some kind of an "unification", a beautiful simplication. Well... really? Maybe it is an over simplification. I am asking because some of these languages later reintroduce the notion of "value semantics". Sometimes there are two "equality" operators. One for identity equality (are two object identifiers referencing the same object?). Another one for Value equality (are two objects representing the same value?). Some other times there will be a String class for example, and a MutableString class (or a StringBuffer/StringBuilder class maybe). As a result Values become second class citizen. They become a special case among all objects, the Immutable Object case. So, yes one can represent a value using an object, but the ideal/immaterial essence of the value gets lost. Why does this matter? + Only Values are multi-core friendly We are entering a time where parallel processing is becoming increasingly necessary to improve performances. That is why the distinction between Values and Objects is relevant. Values are friendly in a distributed non shared environment: # Values are light and fast. Values are naturaly cacheable. A value's computerized representation can be copied as much as one wants, there will never be a need to synchonize the copies. As a result accessing values is local, hence fast. # Mutable Objects are heavy and slow. Objects need a "home". That is the place where the object is stored. The place is not ubiquitous, it hosts the true and only Object. If there exists local cached proxies, they must be kept in synch with each others somehow, and this is costly. Functional programming, like in ErlangLanguage for example, is a nice thing. But pure functional programming, with no side effects, with only immutable values instead, is... a brutal paradigm shift, at best. Are we going to forget about Object Oriented Programming? I don't think so. ++ The Fertile Paradox of OO Languages Some languages have both "by value" and "by reference" parameter passing schemes. But "Pure" object oriented languages are expected to provide only one mechanism: a "by reference" parameter passing, where references are object identifiers. The difference between "by value" and "by reference" becomes of paramount importance when the caller and the callee live in two different address spaces, maybe on two different computers. Cannotical Object Oriented languages have only "by reference". But, but, at some implementation level they actually pass Values: Object Identifiers. ++ Object Identifiers are Values! That passed Value is the /id/ of an object, a /reference/ to it. That's an added level of indirection. Call it an Oid, a Pointer, call it a Reference, at the end it is a kind of Value (hence immutable, unique, self identified). But these languages deny the existence of such values, claiming that "everything is an object". Maybe "everything is an object" but then what is the reference to an object? Is it an object or a value? That is where there is a paradox: If everything is an object, then what kind of object is a "reference to an object"? The truth is that not everything is an object, because references to objects are not objects, they are Values. ++ Nice consequence As a consequence, a language claiming "In xxxx everything is an object" seems extreme to me. I want something in between, where there are Objects and Values, with a clear understanding about what these two species of data have to offer. That request is legitimate, because Values are not second class citizen. I bet I am not alone. Future languages will provide native support for Objects /and/ Values. Some possibilities include: * *Thing Oriented Programming* would be the Top. In such a programming orientation, Value is the norm and Object the exception, versus the opposite in Object Oriented Programming. * A *Value* base class and mixin. To make it super easy to create objects with value semantics. * An *value* method. It would freeze forever the value of an object, so that further processing can optimize things and treat the object as if it were a value, an immaterial idea versus an material thing. It is the _TAG_ Ruby method. There even exists an evil _TAG_ * A *incarn* method. That would create a *new* mutable object from an idealized value. Is it the _TAG_ Ruby method? * A *value?* method. That tells apart objects from values. Like Ruby _TAG_? maybe? Maybe, probably, some languages already offer these possibilites. I get to find them. ----- Ressources: * B. J. MacLennan.

We were taught at a young age that water boils at an energy of 100 degrees Celsius, or 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and that's still true!
But kettles boil and heat liquids at different temperatures, depending on a few factors. Factors like the power of heat and material are things to consider when you want to buy a kettle.
If you're curious to learn how differently each kettle can heat water, read on to learn more!
Do All Kettles Boil Water to the Same Temperature?
- Do All Kettles Boil Water to the Same Temperature?
- What Materials Are Different Kettles Made Of?
- Why Are Some Kettles Hotter Than Others?
- Do Kettles Heat the Water Evenly?
- What Are the Different Temperatures to Remember When Boiling Water?
- How Do I Know When the Water Has Reached the Boiling Point?
- What Is the Desired Temperature for Water to Be Used for Tea and Coffee?
- Kettles Boil At Different Temperatures FAQs
Many factors affect how kettles boil water, tea, coffee, and other liquids. Atmospheric pressure, the temperature of the air, and elevation are among the external factors.
When it comes to the kettle itself, its size and material determine the right temperature at which a kettle will heat water.
The larger diameter of a kettle translates to more surface area where heat is supposed to spread across.
This means that even when two kettles are made of the same material and use the same surface, the kettle with a larger surface will take longer to heat water than the smaller one.
Different metals also have varying thermal conductivity rates. A kettle made of one type of metal can transfer heat much faster than another, even if they measure the same surface area.
What Materials Are Different Kettles Made Of?
Kettles heat water differently depending on the type of metals or material they are made of. Check out the best electric kettles for your home or office.
Let's find out how they contrast from each other:
Steel is a form of alloy made of iron and carbon. This combination makes steel a strong material in many kitchen appliances, including kettles.
Steel also conducts more heat and keeps hot tea or water, making it a reliable material for any hot-temperature liquid. Plus, steel is the most sustainable. It is reused and recycled all the time.
The only downside is steel tends to rust due to its high iron content, making it dangerous to heat water consistently.
The difference between steel and stainless steel is the latter has at least a 10.5% chromium content that reacts with oxygen, resulting in a protective layer making it resistant to rust.
That is why most kettles are made of stainless steel, aside from their quick heating and heat retention abilities in temperature.
This kettle is known to last longer, is easy to maintain, and does not absorb residual odors and flavors. Plus, they are lightweight and add a classic polished look to your kitchen countertop.
Cast iron is another strong material used in making electric kettles. However, because they tend to rust, they may not be the healthiest kettle for heating water or tea.
It heats liquids well and boils well, making it a good material for warm-temperature liquids!
However, If you do not regularly clean your cast iron kettle, you might experience an unpleasant aftertaste in your hot beverages.
Silver is another good conductor of heat. But compared to other materials, they're not the sturdiest.
Silver heats and boils water well, hence why it is one of the more popular materials to use when producing equipment.
A silver kettle may look nice and shiny but is prone to scratches when not handled carefully. Plus, silver can be very expensive!
Aluminum is used for cans, kitchen utensils, and many other products, including a kettle.
With how well aluminum conducts heat and boils water, it is no surprise that the material is often a popular choice for manufacturers!
Water boils fast in an aluminum kettle. This metal is resistant to rust, scratches, and stains. They are lightweight and easy to handle too.
Kettles heat water faster in copper than aluminum, even when pouring cold water into the kettle.
This means it even boils better than aluminum! In addition, Copper does not contain iron either, so it does not rust.
Glass is a popular option used to make an electric kettle. Most kettles are made with tempered glass or borosilicate glass.
Glass kettles are great at tolerating high heating up to 170 degrees Celsius. And generally, they heat water faster.
Aside from that, glass kettles are dishwasher-safe, easy to clean, and not prone to limescale build-up.
The only downside is they are more fragile and are likely to break and shatter. So best be extra careful when pouring!
Why Are Some Kettles Hotter Than Others?
As the kettle boils, those with a stainless steel outer reach a hotter temperature fast. So keep your kids out of the kitchen!
Other factors that might affect how hot your kettle gets as you pour water out:
- If your kettle is pre-heated before you fill it with cold water for boiling
- The volume of water in your kettle
- If you've allowed your kettle to cool down in between uses
Other than a kettle's capacity to boil hot water, you might be curious to find out why kettles make noise too.
Do Kettles Heat the Water Evenly?
Kettles heat tea or water evenly through convection. The principle of convection means water heats up in a circular pattern around its base.
As the water or tea heats up in a pot or kettle, it rises to the top and then sinks back down, causing a continuous cycle of heating throughout the interiors of the kettle.
The longer you keep the water to a boil, the more pressure increases, and more energy is created to distribute the heat uniformly.
What Are the Different Temperatures to Remember When Boiling Water?
Various factors affect how boiled water or tea is achieved. These factors include elevation, atmospheric pressure, and air temperature.
At sea level, which is an elevation of zero feet, the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius, or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the normal case.
As elevation and air pressure increase, the boiling point of water drops. For example, if you are 1,000 feet above sea level, water will boil at a different temperature of 194˚F.
This is usually true in a high-altitude area with less oxygen and more air pressure. Water boils at a lower temperature than normal.
In other cases, water will take much longer to boil when the cold temperature drops below the freezing point. That's, of course, the ice crystals that are reducing the heat.
How Do I Know When the Water Has Reached the Boiling Point?
Once you've filled up your kettle with water or tea and you switch the kettle on, it will only take minutes for it to boil.
The easiest way to know if tea or water has reached its boiling point is to measure the temperature of the hot water with a thermometer.
The boiling point is the right temperature at which your water or tea begins to bubble and create steam.
This happens as the molecules transfer more energy to each other. This energy transfer creates air pressure
A few things can happen when a kettle boils water that you can observe:
- Bubbles forming
- Water turns into gas or steam
- The vapor pressure of the water is equal to its surrounding air pressure
- The temperature of the water no longer increases
When the pressure increases inside the kettle, the water molecules will turn into a gas at a certain temperature. At this point, the temperature of the liquid stops increasing.
Water will boil, and the steam eventually gets trapped. This creates more energy on the water molecules wanting to escape.
What Is the Desired Temperature for Water to Be Used for Tea and Coffee?
Temperature control is crucial for a cup of brewed drink to taste its best! A different temperature will yield a different flavor.
For instance, black tea leaves are best hot between 160˚F and 190˚F. Green tea should be brewed for only a few minutes and at a temperature of 160˚F. Others prefer to have their tea hotter at 175˚F for only a full minute.
Regarding coffee, the ideal water temperature for extraction is between 195°F and 205°F.
However, you might need to raise or lower the temperature of your brew depending on your coffee flavor preference.
A lighter roast needs a slightly higher temperature. This extra heat helps speed up the extraction process.
A darker roast should have a lower temperature. This allows the kettle to avoid over-extraction and bitter flavors.
Check out these best small electric kettles for your convenient tea and coffee-making!
Kettles Boil At Different Temperatures FAQs
We've got you covered with FAQs on whether or not a kettle's temperature varies in specific circumstances. Check these out!
Can a kettle boil water at 100 ˚C at all times and places? No. The temperature at which a kettle can heat water will depend on its air pressure at different altitudes.
From Mount Everest to the Dead Sea, water's boiling point will vary from just below 70 ˚C to over 101 ˚C.
For pure water to boil at sea level, your kettle must heat to 100 °C. Tap water, however, has many impurities, including microbial and organic contaminants in the water.
You may even find chlorine and fluoride too. These, taken in large quantities, can be toxic.
Impurities present in any liquid will raise its boiling point. Thus, it will take a temperature of more than 100 °C to boil tap water in a kettle.
So that's that! It is a given fact that there is no one perfect temperature when water boils. Its temperature will vary as to the altitude of where you are heating your water.

Makin' Groceries project explores neighborhood shopping patterns
This academic year, the Tulane Prevention Research Center has collected information in two New Orleans neighborhoods to see how residents shop and eat in areas that have limited availability of healthy food.
So far, 900 door-to-door surveys have been collected by nearly 30 research assistants hired to work on the Makin' Groceries project.
The Prevention Research Center began the study in partnership with several New Orleans neighborhood groups, public health advocates, academic institutions, social entrepreneurs and local residents. The project is part of core research on food access, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"This has been a collaborative process from the beginning — the partnership designed the logo and helped decide what questions to ask residents," says Jeanette Gustat, an associate professor of clinical epidemiology and faculty member leading the project.
The Makin' Groceries study revolves around an in-depth description of the grocery shopping and dietary patterns of residents living in two New Orleans neighborhoods with documented food access issues: the Bunny Friend neighborhood in the Upper Ninth Ward and the Treme/Lafitte/Mid-City area around North Broad Street.
The Makin' Groceries research team will look at how the food environments in the two neighborhoods are associated with healthy eating attitudes and practices.
"Once we collect and analyze the necessary data, we hope to share the results so that everyone, from residents to policymakers, can use the information to make decisions about addressing the lack of healthy foods in many neighborhoods," Gustat says.
Students working on the study said they gained insights into food access issues by hearing firsthand accounts of how residents have to go to great lengths to even get to a store.
"It was sad to hear that many residents have had to go without eating fresh fruits and vegetables due to distance and cost," says Claire Wichitchu, a student graduating this year.

This article presents a polychotomous choice-selectivity model to estimate the interactions among urbanization, land use regulations, and public finance in five western states (California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington). Land use regulations in these five states reduced the total developed area by an estimated 12.2% from 1982 to 1992, but increased housing prices between 1.3% and 4.7%, depending on the intensity of land use regulations in a county. Land use regulations also reduced public expenditure and property tax in the long run by 5.6% and 8.4%, respectively, but increased public expenditure and property tax in the short run by 9.8% and 12.6%.

Flone, The Flying (Drone) Phone
Flone is a drone which uses a smartphone as a flight controller and explores novel ways to "occupy" public space, in particular the air and claim the right to use it before legislation makes it illegal. [via we-make-money-not-art.com]
Created by artist and computer engineer Lot Amorós, technical engineer Cristina Navarro, and industrial engineer Alexandre Oliver, Flone turns the mobile phone into a stand-alone flying apparatus which can go up to a height of 20 metres from the ground, come down, rotate and do the usual smartphone tasks, such as taking photographs or video recordings. It can also be remotely controlled by another smartphone with a wifi or 3G connection.
Its objective is to make air space accessible to everyone as a research platform, providing a range of applications for them to operate with a smartphone alone.

The status of delivery syslog equate
Whenever the delivery status of a mail message changes, sendmail logs the event and includes the stat= to specify why the change happened. For example, a mail message might initially be queued because the recipient's host was down:
stat=queued
Later it might change again because it succeeded in being delivered:
stat=Sent (HAA03001 Message accepted for delivery)
In transmitting a mail message via SMTP the stat= will include the actual text that the other host printed when it accepted the mail message, as shown earlier. But in delivering locally, the stat= is more succinct:

Can Ants Digest Chitin?
9) Ants(obviously) eat other insects, and I probably lack observation skills but do the ants also eat the exoskeleton also? Do they (or the larvae) have some way of digesting chitin? I did see that the ants pretty much leave MOST of the exoskeleton intact, and go for soft parts.
You have definitely got some challenging questions here. I'm going to give this one a try, but if anyone knows more about this, please jump in.
You probably have seen bug bits (discarded exoskeletons) littering the trash heaps around ant nests.
trash-heap3Many arthropods, including insects, have long chain polysaccharides in their cuticle known as chitin. (Chitin is also found in fungi, which was one of the lines of evidence that moved fungi into their own Kingdom.) The exoskeleton of insects is also made up of various proteins and waxes.
Chitin is known to be difficult to digest. It's long chain polysaccharide structure is similar to cellulose, which is also difficult for animals to use as food. The digestion of chitin requires special enzymes, chitinases, to break the strong bonds between the molecules. For a time it was thought that chitinases only occurred in a few bacteria, but evidence is showing up that certain animals have chitinases in their digestive systems, too.
It turns out that insects have chitinases able to break down chitin, but they aren't where you might expect them. The chitinases in insects are in the cuticle and are used to move chitin during molting.
We know that adult worker ants can't digest solids, so they can't digest chitin. What about larvae? It is highly unlikely, because the larval digestive system is also lined with chitin. When insects molt, they also shed most of their digestive tract, which is derived from the same tissues as the exoskeleton. Therefore, it seems larval ants probably couldn't digest chitin without digesting their own alimentary canal.
Many arthropod predators of insects suck out the insects fluid insides. Think about spiders, assassin bugs, lacewing larvae, etc. They are all feeding on fluids.
If it is true that insects can't digest chitin as a food source, this leads to some other questions. Leafcutter ants feed on special fungi, which they grow in their nests. Do the fungi they grow have chitin? Do the leafcutters have gut symbionts or some other means to digest that chitin?
If there are any chitin experts out there, it would be great to have some clarification.
