Travel Series: Kagoshima, Japan, Jikuya Shochu Distillery
Jikuya Shuzo
Address: 1427 Hirakawa, Satsuma, Satsuma District, Kagoshima Prefecture _PHONE_, Japan
Phone: +81 996-54-2507
Maiko Jikuya is one of the very few female Toji (distilling meister) in Kagoshima (and Japan!) and the fourth generation Toji of Jikuya Distillery, a family run business that was established over 100 years ago. It is located in a small town called Satsuma in Kagoshima prefecture of Kyushu. The warmer southern regions such as Kagoshima, are more suitable for distilling Shochu rather than brewing Sake.
Since we visited in June, there was nothing going on at the distillery. They still make Shochu seasonally, which means that they wait for the sweet potato harvest in the fall, and the season continues from fall to winter. Shochu can be made from a variety of different ingredients but the most common are barley, sweet potato and rice (you can also find Shochu made of buckwheat, sesame, carrot, Kokuto, Kuzu and many more!). The main ingredient is not the only importantas in Sake making, the Koji and water play a vital role in making quality Shochu.
While Jikuya only makes sweet potato Shochu, they play around with different types of sweet potatoes and different types of Koji, which is what affects the aroma of Shochu. Koji is the national fungus of Japan, which is used for making Shochu, Sake, Miso, soy sauce, Mirin, and rice vinegar. It is used to inoculate steamed rice, barley or soy beans, which is then used as a sort of fermentation starter. For Sake, it is the type of yeast that influences the aroma, but for Shochu, it is the Koji that influences the aroma and overall character. All three types of Kojiwhite, black and yellow, are used in Shochu making, but in Sake making, breweries use mostly yellow Koji types. When yellow Koji is used to make Shochu, the result is a very floral and light spirit. In both Sake and Shochu, Koji is what breaks down the starches into fermentable sugars.
Sweet potato (Imo) Shochu is an acquired taste in my opinion, but I was surprised when I tasted the Shochus at Jikuya. When I think of a typical Imo Shochu I think of super funky aromas and a rich, caramel-like finish on the palate, but Maiko makes a lot of delicate, floral and fruit forward shochus that are quite feminine yet powerful. Jikuya ages their shochu in huge clay pots (Kame) for at least a year to be able to label them as Kame Shochu. We were lucky enough to try some young Annou Imo Shochu straight from the pot (so it was cask strength as well). I was amazed at how smooth it was.
We were also lucky to try their raw spring water (dug up from 40 meters underground) from Mount Shibi (pictured in the background). This is the water they use to make their Shochu. This water was ridiculously soft, with a full body. Apparently Mizuwari (half Shochu half water) and Oyuwari (half Shochu half hot water) made with this water is something special but unfortunately we did not get to try…
It would have been more interesting to visit during the busy season but in retrospect it was probably good that we went during the down season because Maiko actually had time to show us around! Jikuya only has 11 employees! I am always amazed at how small many of these Shochu distilleries and Sake breweries are. I hope that Jikuya's shochus will be available in New York soon!

text: To understand the distribution characteristics of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) in agricultural soils in typical regions of Guangdong Province, surface soil (0-20 cm) samples were collected, and the concentrations of 6 PAEs were determined by gas chromatography. The results showed that the total concentration of the PAEs (sigma PAEs) ranged from not detected to 25.99 mg x kg(-1), and was < or = 1.00 mg x kg(-1) in 92.8% of the samples. The sigma PAEs differed with land use types and regions, and decreased in the sequences of paddy soil > banana soil > vegetable soil > sugarcane soil > orchard soil, and Dongguan > Shantou > Shunde > Zhanjiang > Zhongshan > Zhuhai > Huizhou. Among the test PAEs, DEHP had the highest detection rate (85.1%), DnBP had the highest concentration (not detected to 17.51 mg x kg(-1)). Comparing with the corresponding control limits of soil PAEs in USA, all test PAEs except DnOP were exceeded the limits to some extent, and DnBP, DMP and DEP exceeded seriously, indicating that the agricultural soils in the typical regions of Guangdong Province were contaminated by PAEs.

First, you'll need to configure AWS to work with Internal. Then, enter the following information to connect your database to Internal:
When you connect DynamoDB to Internal, we'll generate the following automatically:
Internal uses the Dynamo Query operation to perform filtering. This allows filtering on Sort Keys only, for both tables and indexes. We do not use the Dynamo Scan operation for use in filtering as each query would require an entire table scan in order to provide accurate results.
To enable filtering on specific columns, you can create a Global Secondary Index with a constant partition key and the field you want to filter on as the sort key. This groups all records into one partition on the index, allowing the sort key to be used for filtering purposes. There are no size restrictions on Partition keys for Global Secondary Indexes.
All operators are supported for the partition key. Only the "=" operator is supported for sort keys.

This article goes over how to set receipts for your recurring transactions.
Recurring transaction receipts
This article provides information about the Recurring Transaction Receipt Email settings on your Campaigns page.
Default Campaign Transaction Receipt Emails
When a transaction processes for the first time, it must have a transaction receipt. The email/letter template type for this receipt must be Transaction Receipt.
Recurring transactions must also receive a transaction receipt. Recurring transactions, when processed for the first time, will receive this receipt.
Default Recurring Transaction Receipt Email
This email is sent when a recurring transaction is initially created, in which no payment has processed yet. This template must be a Recurring Donation Receipt type.
This letter should state something like, "Dear John, thanks for becoming a recurring donor to XYZ."
Subsequent Recurring Transaction Receipt Email Template
This receipt must also have a Transaction Receipt type template.
These are meant for recurring donations that take place after the first payment has processed. The thought behind these is that your recurring donors will get a transaction notification the first time they give, and then all donations after that receive a slightly altered message. This allows you to give them extra thanks up front while being able to make your recurring receipts more simple and streamlined.
Recurring transaction processing
A donor can control the frequency of their recurring donation (1st of the month, 1st Monday of the month, etc.).
Kindful's automated recurring billing process begins at 9 AM UTC every day (which is 4 AM CDT or 3 AM CST).
For example, a donation is set up for the 1st of every month. On the 1st of July, that donor's card (or ACH) would be charged near 4 AM Central that morning.
Still have questions?
Feel free to send our support team an email, or you can call the phone number found in the lower left hand corner of your Kindful Admin account to speak to a team member.

A Humanizing Model for Nursing Social Justice Action
The latest featured article from the current issue of ANS is titled "Exercising Nursing Essential and Effective Freedom in Behalf of Social Justice: A Humanizing Model" by Donna J. Perry, PhD, RN; Danny G. Willis, DNS, RN, PMHCNS-BC; Kenneth S. Peterson, PhD, FNP-BC; and Pamela J. Grace, PhD, RN, FAAN. Using powerful personal narratives, the authors provide examples of ways they have broken through barriers, to exercise effective freedom and take specific social justice action within nursing. Dr. Perry provided this description of their work:
It is increasingly clear that health is dependent upon multiple underlying social factors including environmental conditions, economic status, access to education, employment and a peaceful and participatory society. These conditions are distributed unequally within our global community. In this paper we discuss the nursing mandate to act for social justice and the constraints that prevent nursing from realizing this goal. We argue that nursing has been impeded in addressing underlying socio-political issues that impact health because nursing has historically been positioned within an institutionalized medical paradigm. We propose a model of nursing essential and effective freedom based on the philosophy of Bernard Lonergan as a framework for addressing barriers to nursing action for social justice. And we share our personal challenges and strategies for addressing social justice as nurses working in various settings.

Bayly Avenue is the only public access into the Karratha Airport, a significant road with high traffic and used by passengers and freight services. Originally constructed in 1984, this 30+ year old road was recently identfied as requiring improvements.
The Bayly Avenue is one of the Corps EnviRoad projects. This project utilised over 30,000 tonnes of locally recycled and repurposed material waste material.
By removing the need for 30,000 tonnes of new and virgin materials, Corps removed the need for transportation vehicles (85 tonne each truck) and their allotted 352
trips – (85 tonne of material per vehicle x 50 kms round trips). These trips would have
consumed over 20,000 litres of fuel and created a significant amount of carbon emissions.
Corps is proud that the City of Karratha supported the decision to invest more sustainable sustainable initiatives and outcomes for the Karratha community.

EPK has a much higher fired shrinkage. This is counter intuitive because Grolleg is known to produce more vitrified porcelains. It also appears whiter yet in a porcelain body the Grolleg will produce a much whiter fired product. This means that to compare porcelains we need to see them "playing on the team", in a recipe working with other materials, to see their the properties they really contribute.

HEATWURX EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDED
FOR REPAIRS ON MILITARY AIRFIELD PAVEMENTS
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., July 9, 2013 HEATWURX, Inc., an asphalt preservation and repair equipment manufacturer, announced today that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has completed its evaluation of equipment and materials for the U.S. Air Forces Sustained Pavement Repair (SuPR) kit for in-place asphalt recycling. The report, Laboratory and Field Evaluation of In-Place Asphalt Recycling Technologies for Small Airfield Repair concluded that the in-place asphalt repair technology including the use of rejuvenator and asphalt infrared heater proved to be effective in terms of repair times and repair quality.
The Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) sponsored the research project with the main purpose to determine the most expedient methods, materials, and equipment for small-to-medium repairs in damaged airfield asphalt concrete (AC) pavements using in-place asphalt recycling technologies. The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) , in collaboration with Applied Research Associates (ARA), was tasked to evaluate and test equipment for performing sustainment repairs in damaged airfield asphalt pavements that will give military engineers the capability for in-place asphalt recycling.
Based on the laboratory and field-testing, the ERDC recommended the use of an electric infrared heater and asphalt processor for the SuPR augmentation kit because it meets the Air Forces performance, reliability, transportation, and eco-friendly recycling requirements. The HEATWURX HWX-30 Electric Infrared Heater and HWX-AP40 Asphalt Processor were identified in the report as the equipment that best met the requirements of the Air Force for this program and were included in the ERDCs recommended equipment list.
This is the second major recognition for HEATWURX. Last year, the companys Hot-in-Place Asphalt Pavement Recycling Process was selected as an Additionally Selected Technology by the Technology Implementation Group (TIG) of the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO). The organization identifies and advocates the implementation and/or use of a select few proven technologies, products or processes that are likely to yield significant economic or qualitative benefits.
The in-depth testing and evaluation of our equipment by the worlds largest public engineering, design, and construction management agency, coupled with the recognition from AASHTO, who sets the standards for this countrys roadways, further supports the use of HEATWURX equipment and processes as the innovative, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious way to preserve and repair our roadways, said Stephen Garland, HEATWURX CEO. HEATWURX provides real quantitative value to local, state, and federal transportation and public works agencies responsible for maintaining and keeping our roads safe.
Headquartered in Colorado, HEATWURX is the premier developer and manufacturer of eco-friendly preservation and repair equipment designed to outperform alternative methods of pavement repair.

We all feel and look great when we're sporting a golden sun-kissed tan, straight off a day at the beach. But sometimes that doesn't work out the way we planned! This has made the sunless tan — think spray tans and sunless tanners— a huge trend.
Tanning pills have grown in popularity in recent years, especially among those with fairer skin.
Which then leads to the question, do tanning pills work? In this article, we'll give you the lowdown on tanning pills.
So Do Tanning Pills Work?
The simple answer to this is yes, tanning pills work. Sort of.
It doesn't matter if your skin is fair or you are more melanated, the color additives that make up the ingredients of tanning pills will cause your skin to darken because of the high levels needed to make this happen.
In addition, the most popular ingredient used in most tanning pills is called canthaxanthin, which in its natural state, is an antioxidant found in many foods.
However, the canthaxanthin used in tanning pills is in synthetic form. And taking high doses of this will not only cause your skin to darken but also has the potential to cause hives and itchy skin, aplastic anemia, which is a potentially fatal blood disease, gastrointestinal issues, nausea, and diarrhea.
The manmade version of canthaxanthin is also known to cause yellow crystal deposits to settle in the eyes, causing impaired vision and injury. Called canthaxanthin-induced retinopathy, luckily it is reversible, although it can take months to clear up.
Oh, what joyful side effects!
Canthaxanthin has also been reported to damage skin and creates liver problems. Therefore, if you want to try tanning pills, which can cost up to $40 a bottle for a month's supply, you want to avoid formulas containing canthaxanthin.
Beta carotene, another ingredient found in nature, but produced synthetically for inclusion in tanning pills, will also cause problems with the body. A natural antioxidant, the synthetic formula of beta carotene taken in large doses, which is the case with tanning pills, is known to increase the risk of developing many cancers.
Many people who have used tanning pills containing canthaxanthin and/or beta carotene have reported that the color produced by their skin looks fake and orange, instead of sun-kissed sexy bronze goddess.
The color can also stain the soles of the feet and palms of hands, which is a dead giveaway for a fake tan. The good news is that any part of your body stained orange will eventually fade, as the coloration isn't permanent.
If you choose to take the risk with these tanning pill formulations, then you should see results within 14 days. These products are supplements and are not reviewed by the FDA.
Newer tanning pills on the market, like the Tanamins shown above are more natural and include ingredients that help to actually increase melanin production so that your skin will darken with less emphasis on the orange hue.
The three main ingredients these tanning pills contain include:
Copper is an essential trace element that helps to produce melanin, the pigment that protects your skin from the sun. The darker you are, the more melanin your skin has.
This means copper promotes tanning and also protects the skin against further oxidative stress.
L-tyrosine is a naturally occurring essential amino acid that helps to form the brain chemicals that affect both moods and sleeping. Available in high-proteins sources of foods such as eggs, meat, dairy and fish, L-tyrosine is also necessary for healthy thyroid function.
As far as tanning goes, L-tyrosine plays a vital role in the production of melanin, our natural pigment that shows up not just in our skin, but also in our eyes and hair.
Also known alternatively as vitamin Bx, PABA is a compound found in many B-complex vitamins. In supplement form, it's thought that the body synthesizes it with your gut bacteria.
In nature, it is found in mushrooms, spinach, whole grains and brewer's yeast. PABA is used to help with the re-pigmentation of skin that has been affected by vitiligo.
All of the above ingredients found in tanning pills will give your skin a darker color, although it will probably look more orange than bronze.
And none of them actually offer protection from the sun. So having read the above, it's up to you to decide if tanning pills will work for you.

研究采用再磨——浮选工艺对南方某老尾库尾矿（含WO3 0.19%）中的钨进行回收.在高碱浮选介质中，添加浮选药剂，通过一次粗选、二次扫选和三次精选流程，获得钨粗精矿含WO3 3.26%，回收率为70.48%.红外光谱测定结果表明，733对白钨矿的捕收作用以表面化学吸附和键合为主.
The process of recovery of tungsten by regrinding-flotation from an old ore tailing contained 0.19% WO3 in the south China is investigated. The results show that satisfactory flotation indexes can be achieved by the process of one stage roughing, two-stage scavenging and three-stage cleaning with conventional agents in the high alkaline flotation medium. The tungsten concentration grade and the recovery of WO3 reach 3.26% and 70.48%, respectively. Analysis of IR spectra testified that chemisorption and bonding were the main reaction mechanism of 733 on scheelite.

In contemporary history, physical education in the Philippines developed into the Bureau of Physical Education and School Sports. The nation's Executive Order No. 81 series of 1999 then integrated BPESS into the Philippine Sports Commission, which has since assumed BPESS's departmental roles.Continue Reading
Before the foundation of either BPESS or PSC, the development of physical education in the Philippines was conducted by one of three staff bureaus within its Department of Education, Culture, and Sports. Referred to as DECS, the department began as the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sports under the country's Education Act of 1982. Sports organizations in the early 20th century were cultivated alongside educational programs that were simultaneously sponsored by the government, including the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation and the Department of Public Instruction.
Passed in 1990, the Republic Act 6847 came to be known the Philippine Sports Commission Act upon its creation as a primary governmental sporting institution, and it continues to function with the Department of Education through collaborating in nationally accredited physical education programs. The Department of Education and the Philippine Sports Commission additionally cooperate in hosting annual sporting events such as the Paralong Pambansa, in which student athletes participate from around the nation.Learn more about Modern Asia

Background: Recent studies show that the combined use of Large-Volume Metrology (LVM) systems can lead to a systematic reduction in measurement uncertainty and a better exploitation of the available equipment. Unfortunately, the sensors of a specific LVM system are usually able to localize only specific targets and not necessarily those related to other systems; this represents an obstacle when using combinations of different LVM systems.
Objective: This paper describes the design of a new modular probe, with different typologies of targets and integrated sensors, which allows to simplify the measurement process.
Method: The originality and inventive content of the proposed invention is documented by a literature review, from the dual perspective of scientific articles and patents. Next, a detailed description of the technical and functional characteristics of the probe is provided and a mathematical/statistical model for the real-time probe localization is presented.
Results: The probe is versatile as the number of targets, their typology and spatial position can be customized depending on the combination of LVM systems in use. Also, it can integrate additional sensors (such as two-axis inclinometer and compass), which contribute to the probe localization. The mathematical/statistical model for the real-time probe localization is efficient, as it is based on a system of linearized equations, and effective, as the equations are weighed with respect to their uncertainty contribution.
Conclusion: The new multi-target modular probe is potentially key tool to promote the combined use of LVM systems.

Lost but Not Forgotten memorial plaque
A joint partnership between the Aboriginal community and Kempsey Shire Council has enabled dozens of unmarked graves to be acknowledged and remembered at the East Kempsey Cemetery. A special memorial plaque has been set in a large boulder at the cemetery and was unveiled on Tuesday, 19th December 2006.
The East Kempsey Cemetery was surveyed using non-destructive radar as part of the Council's action plan for reconciliation, and through consultation with the Dunghutti Aboriginal community the need for an appropriate memorial was established. Dozens of graves, some of which are up to 100 years old were detected through the survey. Due to the age of some of the graves, accurate marking of a precise site is near impossible, so a joint project between the community and Council has resulted in a fitting memorial boulder and plaque marking the area.
The boulder was chosen from Thurgood's Haulage at a quarry at Crescent Head through consultation with the Dunghutti Elders of the Booroongen Djugun Aboriginal Corporation, the Local Aboriginal Land Council, Council's Aboriginal Liaison Officer and Booroongen Djugun's community support officer. The NSW Department of Environment and Conservation assisted with funding of the plaque. Wording on the plaque was put together by the Elders and support officers.
This project marked a significant step forward in reconciliation in Kempsey and is seen as a fitting spiritual tribute to lost souls.

Stage 3 of this project, in consultation with the Dunghutti Aboriginal Community and particularly the Elders, the wording for the memorial Plaque.
Funding for the Memorial Plaque was contributed by the Department of Environment and Conservation Northern Aboriginal Heritage Region unit for site management and protection, through their Aboriginal Heritage and Conservation Project funding.
The memorial boulder was chosen through the consultation process and donated by David Thurgood of Thurgood Haulage Kempsey.
Debra Morris, Aboriginal Liaison Officer, Kempsey Shire Council and Amie McElroy, Aboriginal Community Support Officer, facilitated and supported the Dunghutti Aboriginal Community throughout this process.

A new model was developed to describe water leakoff from formed Cr(III)-acetate-HPAM gels during extrusion through fractures. This model is fundamentally different than the conventional filter cake model that was used during hydraulic fracturing. Even so, the model accurately predicted leakoff during extrusion of a guar-borate gel. Thus, the new model may be of interest in hydraulic fracturing. Contrary to the conventional model, the new model correctly predicted the occurrence of wormholes and stable pressure gradients during gel extrusion through fractures.
This work was motivated by an attempt to understand propagation of formed gels as they extrude through fractures during water shutoff treatments. Formed gels lose water during extrusion through fractures. This water leaks off through the fracture faces and controls the rate of gel propagation. Leakoff also controls the rate of fracture growth during hydraulic fracturing and during produced water re-injection.

War Camel portrayed by Angus McBride for MERP
Camels are animals native to the Southern lands. These animals are only mentioned in linguistic writings dating from the early versions of the legendarium.[1][2]
[edit] Etymology
The Qenya name of "a camel" is ulun(t).[1][2]
[edit] Portrayal in adaptations

Tip of the Day : How to Read and Load an Excel 2007 or Excel 2010 File Without Using Import/Export Utility
Home > SQL Server Error Messages > Msg 111 - 'CREATE FUNCTION' must be the first statement in a query batch.
SQL Server Error Messages - Msg 111 - 'CREATE FUNCTION' must be the first statement in a query batch.
SQL Server Error Messages - Msg 111
Error Message
Server: Msg 111, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
'CREATE FUNCTION' must be the first statement in a query batch.
Causes
As the error message suggests, the CREATE FUNCTION statement must be the first statement in a query batch. There should be no other statements before the CREATION FUNCTION statement that would make it not the first statement in a query batch.
To illustrate, here's a script that will generate the error message:
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM [dbo].[sysobjects]
 WHERE ID = object_id(N'[dbo].[ufn_IsLeapYear]') AND
 XTYPE IN (N'FN', N'IF', N'TF'))
 DROP FUNCTION [dbo].[ufn_IsLeapYear]
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[ufn_IsLeapYear] ( @InputDate DATETIME )
RETURNS BIT
AS
BEGIN
 IF (YEAR( @InputDate ) % 4 = 0 AND YEAR( @InputDate ) % 100 != 0) OR
 YEAR( @InputDate ) % 400 = 0
 RETURN 1
 RETURN 0
END
GO
Msg 111, Level 15, State 1, Line 7
'CREATE FUNCTION' must be the first statement in a query batch.
When scripting a user-defined function, it is a common practice to check first if the function already exists and if it already exists, drop the function first using the DROP FUNCTION statement before creating it using the CREATE FUNCTION statement. This can also be done using the ALTER FUNCTION statement. The ALTER FUNCTION statement alters an existing Transact-SQL or CLR function that was previously created by executing the CREATE FUNCTION statement, without changing permissions and without affecting any dependent functions, stored procedures or triggers. The only drawback with the ALTER FUNCTION is that it will fail if the function does not exist yet. With the DROP FUNCTION/CREATE FUNCTION combination, the script will always succeed whether the function already exists or not.
Solution / Work Around :
As the message suggests, to avoid this error the CREATE FUNCTION statement must be the first statement in a query batch. To make the CREATE FUNCTION statement the first statement in the script above, the GO command can be added to separate the DROP FUNCTION statement from the CREATE FUNCTION statement.
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM [dbo].[sysobjects]
 WHERE ID = object_id(N'[dbo].[ufn_IsLeapYear]') AND
 XTYPE IN (N'FN', N'IF', N'TF'))
 DROP FUNCTION [dbo].[ufn_IsLeapYear]
GO
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[ufn_IsLeapYear] ( @InputDate DATETIME )
RETURNS BIT
AS
BEGIN
 IF (YEAR( @InputDate ) % 4 = 0 AND YEAR( @InputDate ) % 100 != 0) OR
 YEAR( @InputDate ) % 400 = 0
 RETURN 1
 RETURN 0

 - Ignore line containing _
 I am trying to do a text compare and have lines containing "_OBJECT_" ignored.
 Example lines from same file:
 File 1-> "P46_OBJECT_0:"
 File 2-> "P13_OBJECT_0:"
 File 1-> "√P46_OBJECT_0. = {Starting Point}"
 File 2-> "√P13_OBJECT_0. = {Starting Point}"
 File 1-> "√Next. = {P46_OBJECT_1:,forward}"
 File 2-> "√Next. = {P13_OBJECT_1:,forward}"
 I have tried adding varation of OBJECT with and without the _ to the importance tab grammar elements and have not yet figured out how to ignore the above lines.
 What would I need to do to ignore the above lines where the number is the only difference?
 There are other lines in this file what contain the number difference but I do not want those differences to be ignored.
 Thank you.

 Hello,
 You would need to create a Regular Expression that matches on the entire line, not just the word "object", otherwise the grammar only makes "object" unimportant.
 For a full instruction list of how to create a grammar and mark it as Unimportant (rather than Important), see here:
 Beyond Compare is a multi-platform utility that combines directory compare and file compare functions in one package. Use it to manage source code, keep directories in sync, compare program output, etc.
 Your regular expression could be something similar to
 .*_OBJECT_.*

Known from only two other sites in the UK, it is one of Britain's rarest spiders. With a leg span of up to 7 cm, it is also one of our largest. It spends much of its time on a 'raft' of vegetation on the water surface, using its front legs to sense the vibrations of its aquatic invertebrate prey. It is even known to catch small fish such as sticklebacks! During the breeding season the female spider constructs a nursery web within the marginal vegetation, in which she deposits an egg sac. Hundreds of tiny spiderlings hatch out from the egg sac, which then develop inside the relative safety of the nursery web, before dispersing into the surrounding vegetation a week or so later. The female spider often guards the web while the spiderlings develop. This is generally the easiest time to spot this striking but elusive species. Look for the nursery webs in large sedge tussocks fringing the canal, and the attendant female is usually very close by.'
Ed. Note that there now is new boardwalk at Pant-y-sais that provides great access to the fen. This can be found by walking along the canal towpath from the Jersey Marine end, or off New Road (B4290) at SS/7128 9409. If you park in the old car park head sw along New Road for a couple of hundred metres.

Central African Republic
Practice Relating to Rule 15. The Principle of Precautions in Attack
Section D. Information required for deciding upon precautions in attack
The Central African Republic's Instructor's Manual (1999) states in Volume 3 (Instruction for non-commissioned officers studying for the level 1 and 2 certificates and for future officers of the criminal police):
To accomplish his mission a military commander needs appropriate intelligence on the enemy and the environment.
To be able to comply with the law of war, intelligence must comprise the following information:
- concentrations of civilian persons;
- the civilian environment;
- types of built-up areas (towns, villages, shelters, etc.);
- the presence and type of major civilian objects, in particular specially protected objects;
- the natural environment.
Also in Volume 3, the manual states: "Military commanders must inform themselves about concentrations of civilians, important civilian objects and specially protected facilities, the natural environment and the civilian environment of military objectives."

John Taylor's can trace its origins back to the middle of the 14th century. Indeed, while we were visiting, we saw a bell that had been cast in 1352 that had been returned for repair. Aside from the Latin inscription, it looked like other bells that were manufactured in the last 40 years, such is the longevity of the material and suitability to its use.
Taylor's is the largest bell foundry in the world. They cast the largest bell in Britain - Great Paul, the 17 tonne monster that hangs in St. Pauls. But most impressively, they provided the bells that AC/DC used on the Hell's Bells tour.
After an hour or two wandering around the workshop that tuned and repaired the bells, made the wooden wheels and twisted the ropes, the main event of the day was to see a bell casting. It is quite an event and there was an air of tension as we made our way into the foundry itself. It may have been an air of horse shit, as I understand that too plays a part in the traditional methods used.
After some testing of temperatures, the roaring furnace was turned off and several tonnes of molten bell metal poured into a crucible. From there, it was transferred by motorised hoist before being tipped into the casts that were buried in the sand floor.

The optimal electromagnetic carrier frequency balancing structural and metrical information densities with respect to heat removal requirements

The use of higher electromagnetic carrier frequencies for communication in a computing results in both increased spatial information density and larger available modulation bandwidth. However, assuming that the communication energies are dissipated, the heat that must be removed from unit volume per unit time increases quickly with higher frequencies, resulting in a maximum useful frequency based on our limited ability to remove heat. We show that this frequency is relatively insensitive to system specific parameters and estimate its order of magnitude to lie near the infrared and visible bands of the spectrum. © 1992.

Left & Right Values of minHeapify()
I am trying to understanding the logic behind the left & right values for the minHeapify function.
Why is the index multiplied by 2?
Cheers
Hi Robert ,
This is Maida from Educative.
Initially, elements are placed in nodes in the same order as they appear in the array. Then we call _minHeapify function on all the elements to restore the heap property (starting from the bottom of the heap). The _minHeapify function swaps the values of the parent nodes with the values of their smallest child nodes until the heap property is restored.
In the given code, left and right are the indexes of the left and right child of the heap, respectively, and index is the index of the current parent node. We need to multiply the left and right with 2 because elements of the heap are arranged in this manner:
4, 9, 3, 2, 1, 8, 0
and It would look like this:
From the figure, it is clear that to find the left child, we need to multiply the parent index by 2 and add 1 to it. Since the right child exists right next to it we need to add 2 after multiplying the parent index by 2.
For example, if the parent is at index 3 then the left child will be at 3*2+1=7th index, and the right child will be at 3*2+2=8th index.
We hope Educative has inspired to further your learning.

Manuscript Preparation, Copyediting, and Proofreading
Q. If a book contains only one table, is it necessary to number it?
A. No. In that case, a number would serve no purpose. Even with many tables, numbers are not always needed. Assign numbers if the author uses them to refer to the tables elsewhere in the text, or if you think readers would find them helpful for citing—for instance, in digital publications without page numbers.

This form enables a Ministry Unit to calculate their operational carbon footprint for an average month.
The Sustainability Fieldworker will follow up and send you a report/summary of your Ministry Unit's operational carbon footprint - along with some ideas and resources for reducing/offsetting church carbon footprint and creating a Ministry Unit Climate Action Plan.
Before starting this form, please check that you have all the information required about the Ministry Unit's operations - where relevant:
- Energy usage: electricity bills (ideally from the last 12 months); gas bills (ideally from the last 12 months); LPG bottles used per month; other fuels used per month
- Waste production: noticing composting/recycling habits, average amount of rubbish put out each month - how many bags/bins and what size
- Staff or volunteer travel (only include what is reimbursed by the Ministry Unit operations): air travel undertaken by staff/volunteers in the last 12 months; Kms traveled by Ministry Unit staff/volunteers in the last month AND type of vehicle used
- Any offsetting that the church currently does of their carbon footprint (tree planting/purchasing carbon credits)
Optionally - you may wish to explore how church attendees arrived at church on a particular Sunday to receive an estimated Sunday travel carbon footprint figure. Data for this can be collected through a survey (show of hands, or anonymous) or counting cars in the car park on Sunday and multiplying by an estimating distance traveled.
Questions to explore:
1. How many petrol/diesel vehicles were used to transport church attendees to church on Sunday? (count drivers/vehicles)
2. For those who drove using a petrol/diesel car - how far did they drive to get to church from home? (less than 5km, 5-10km, 10-20km, further than 20kms)
3. How many people use public transport, carpool, or drive an EV?
4. How many church attendees arrived at church via active transport? (walking, cycling, etc.)
The information provided here is collected by the Auckland Diocesan Sustainability Fieldworker and uses the free Toitū household carbon footprint calculator to arrive at a figure - _URL_

What is the disadvantages of a formula field compare to text field?
I want to populate a parent field value in a chaild field for displaying in a standard visual force page. So, I thought I will create a formula field for the same, but one of my collegue said don't create formula field, create a text field and assign the text field value while creating the child record in trigger.
So, I just want to know, which approach is better and why?
NOTE: The parent child relationship is lookup relationship.
Best Answer chosen by Upendra
FearNoneFearNone
Hi Upendra,
Formula field values are NOT stored in the database and are calculated after each time records are being read from database. If you can imagine, this can make things slow down. You see, even if values where not changed, formula calculation has still to be processed.
As your friend suggested, it is better to write/update the value during trigger. Thus saving you a process time.
Hope this can help.

Hi Upendra,
Why would i want to create a trigger just to populate a field value?? Although formual fields take some processing i dont think we would explictly need to write trigger for this scenario. We can as well make it an input field and populate it via process builder and then as the field is read only its ok to use formula field

What range of pipe diameters is available?
PE100 can be manufactured in a wide range of pipe diameters from 16mm to 2000mm. Even larger diameters are possible with the development of appropriate extrusion dies. However the common range of pipe sizes is from 32mm to 1200mm.
Nominal diameter of a PE100 pipe is its external diameter, not its internal bore diameter.
Standard diameters in this range are:
The internal bore diameter for each of these sizes will depend on the SDR of the pipe. Non-standard pipe sizes can be manufactured for specific applications if necessary.

I'm developing a sinatra app, and I'd like to test it using cucumber and watir. My problem is that I'm not sure how to set up my env.rb file to run the sinatra app, all the examples I've found use webrat or capybara or something else that isn't watir. Is there a way to start my sinatra app from cucumber without using webrat or another testing framework that isn't watir, or should I just start my sinatra app manually before running my tests?

env.rb executes an arbitrary Ruby code as a part of Cucumber setup, so you should be able to start your app or do whatever else you need. Try:
require 'YourApp'
Having said that, it might not be the most logical place to do. An automated build cycle for a web app usually consists of the following steps:
 1. Build: compile, copy necessary files, package a binary, etc.
 2. Run unit tests
 3. Deploy: put the application on a target server
 4. Run integration/feature tests
Cucumber and Watir are all about Step 4; therefore, env.rb usually starts a browser. What you are trying to do belongs logically in Step 3, IMHO.

Effective Tax Rate Formula (Table of Contents)

Effective Tax Rate Formula
In a very simple language, the effective tax rate is the average rate of tax at which the income of a corporation or an individual is taxed. In the case of an individual, it can be calculated by taking a ratio of total tax expenses and taxable income and for corporations, it is calculated by dividing total income tax expense by the earnings before taxes. We should always keep in mind that the effective tax rate is not the same as the statutory tax rate or the marginal tax rate. The statutory tax rate is the dollars amount of tax levied per $100 of taxable income. On the other hand, the marginal tax rate is the rate which is applicable to additional income earned. Generally, income tax is progressive in nature. Which implies that the income is segregated into slabs and higher income slab will carry higher tax rate and vice versa. So all the income will not be taxed at the same rate and we can see what the effective tax rate is by dividing the total tax with total taxable income.
Formula For Effective Tax Rate :
Examples of Effective Tax Rate Formula (With Excel Template)
Let's take an example to understand the calculation of Effective Tax Rate in a better manner.
Effective Tax Rate Formula – Example #1
In many countries, an individual's income is divided into tax brackets and each bracket is taxed at a different rate. Let's take an example of Tax calculation in the US for individuals.
Following are the tax brackets for a single individual:
Let's say Antony is a financial analyst. His annual income is $100,000 and he put some of his income in tax savings financial instruments. Let assume that amount to be $20,000. So his taxable income is $80,000.
Since the lower limit is zero so the value of Taxable Income will be 9,325 i.e. upper limit.
Calculation of 2nd Tax Bracket:
Similarly, we will calculate the taxable income for the 3rd bracket.
4.9 (3,296 ratings)
To find his effective tax rate, we need to find the tax expenses based on the above brackets.
Similarly, calculate Tax Expense for other brackets.
Then we have calculated the total of Antony's Taxable income and a total of tax expense as follows,
Effective Tax Rate is calculated using the formula given below
Effective Tax Rate = Total Tax Expenses / Taxable Income
- Effective Tax Rate = 15,738.75 / 80,000
- Effective Tax Rate = 19.67%
If you see closely, you will get to know the difference is all the three tax rates. The tax rate on every bracket is the statutory tax rate. The incremental tax rate (15% on 28,625 and 25% on 42,050) is basically the marginal tax rate. So we can see that the effective tax rate is lower than the marginal tax rate but higher than the lowest bracket income tax. The reason for that is the progressive nature of taxation.
Effective Tax Rate Formula – Example #2
Below is the extract of Amazon's financial statements to calculate the effective tax rate for a corporation.
Effective Tax Rate is calculated using the formula given below
Effective Tax Rate = Total Tax Expenses / Earnings Before Taxes
- Effective Tax Rate = 1,197,000 / 11,270,000
- Effective Tax Rate = 10.6%
- Effective Tax Rate = 769,000 / 3,802,000
- Effective Tax Rate = 20.2%
Because of the progressive tax system, all the income will not be taxed at the same rate. So individuals and companies will pay different tax for a different level of income. Effective tax rate helps us in comparing companies and taxpayers. For individuals, they might not have much leeway to decrease their effective tax rates, but for corporations, it plays a vital role and they take various measure to reduce that amount.
Every business has a unique structure, business plan, circumstances, and tax implications. Because of which, every company has a different effective tax rate which it pays. For example, companies who are not doing well and had experienced financial losses in the past, they can use their losses to decrease their taxable income. Also, for research and development costs, there are tax breaks from the government which can affect not only net income but applicable income tax rates. Similarly, corporations with operations in different countries, they may strategically choose to expand operations in those countries where the tax rates are most favorable. So in a way, they will reduce their tax amount which otherwise they have to pay if they have not chosen that country.
Relevance and Uses of Effective Tax Rate Formula
The effective tax rate is one of the measures which investors use as a profitability indicator for a company. This value can change in any direction and sometimes the changes are very drastic. But it cannot be interpreted immediately why it has happened. Sometimes this happens due to operational efficiencies or limitations. But sometimes companies can indulge in activities like asset manipulation so that they can reduce their tax burden. So one should keep a close eye on that.
It can also help us in comparing the actual tax liability of the company. For example, Let say there are 2 companies A & B who are in the same bracket of a marginal tax rate of 25%. But this will not give us a clear picture of the tax exposure of these businesses. We need to see what the effective tax rate is and then compare. So if company B has more money which is taxed at 25% than A, it will have to pay a higher effective tax rate compared to A. So if we say effective tax rate of company A is 18.5% and B is 21.3%, this will be a more accurate reflection of a company's tax liability.

Ride
What does a car's ride quality mean?
Ride quality refers to a how comfortable a car is to travel in. The main factor that determines ride quality is the set-up of the suspension system, which is a compromise between handling and ride quality. A set-up that offers a softer, more forgiving ride quality means the car's handling is less sharp. Conversely, a car set up to handle more sportily requires a firmer ride quality.

Meet Jason Walther, the farmer who grew the potatoes in your bag.
Farming As a Way of Life
As a third-generation member of the Walther family, Jason was just six years old when he realized his passion was, and always would be, farming. "Farming is a way of life and it becomes part of who you are," Jason said. Luckily, Jason has help from nine family members including siblings and cousins to grow the best quality potatoes for Kettle Brand potato chips. The family farmers also practice sustainable farming, implementing proper crop rotations that naturally enrich the farm's soil, including seeding 500 acres of land with a cover crop mixture every third year. By doing so, they provide valuable habitat for pollinators like the monarch butterfly, comma butterfly, eastern bumblebee and European honeybees.
When the Walthers aren't tending the taters and pollinators, they volunteer to serve their local community schools. The farmers pack more than 600 backpacks every week with food to help students in need.

The application of adult nursing pads in surgery
by：Moosee 2021-03-13
Adult nursing pad is a disposable sanitary product made of PE film, non-woven fabric, fluff pulp, polymer and other materials. Adult nursing pads can reduce the occurrence of hypothermia in surgical patients, and at the same time reduce the frequency of moving patients. The vital signs are significantly smoother than those of patients with repeated turnings, and the patient feels comfortable. So what are the applications of adult nursing pads in surgery? Let me introduce to you.
1. Before operation: Lay two 90*60cm2 adult nursing pads on the stretcher to isolate the patient's body from direct contact with the stretcher. Depending on the patient's condition, use the patient's own translation or two-person transfer method to move the patient. Move it to the stretcher and cover with the quilt. The general principle of handling is to move lightly, shorten the distance, and save energy. During transportation, keep warm.
2. Intraoperative: Intraoperative disinfectant and various rinsing fluids overflow, the nursing pad can quickly absorb, keep the surface dry, avoid the irritation of the wet bed sheet to the patient's skin, and reduce the loss of skin heat conduction.
3. After operation: Place the scoop stretcher on the flat car, and spread two nursing pads on the stretcher flat, with a nursing pad in the middle corresponding to the patient's waist and hips. After being transported to the ward, the nurses and nurses lift the scoop stretcher to the patient's bed, disassemble the stretcher, check whether the adult nursing pad is flat, and cover the patient with a quilt to prevent loss of body temperature. During the entire transportation process, pay attention to observe the patient's vital signs, lip color, and whether there is any chills.

The five-sided parachute with oscillation damping
Safety through innovation: the PENTAGON parachute distinguishes itself through innovative design, combined with high-quality materials. After deployment, the PENTAGON offers a rapid opening, immediate oscillation damping and a low sink rate. The result is a rescue system you can fully trust in any situation.
NOVA Pentagon Packing Instructions Video
Five sides for high pendular stability. The five-sided shape is self-stabilising: if the PENTAGON experiences a pendular impulse towards a corner, the restoring force will automatically act in the opposite direction. Opposite a corner is an edge, where the airflow is significantly different and this counteracts unwelcome oscillations. The resulting pendular stability is excellent.
Quick to open, slow to descend. The sink rate is extraordinarily low: during certification, with maximum load, the Pentagon 120 had a sink rate of 5.2 m/s.
Five corner vents for fast opening. Five corner vents assist inflation during the opening. The opening is faster and more reliable than with conventional parachutes. This is not only critical when close to the ground, but it also reduces the risk of the parachute getting tangled in the paraglider's lines before opening.
Equal suspension line length for uncomplicated packing. A prerequisite for quick opening is that the parachute is packed regularly. The PENTAGON is quick and easy to pack. The base and centre lines are all the same length and equal distance from each other. They are also colour-coded. This means that the risk of errors during packing is minimal.
Intensive testing
 - The PENTAGON was designed in collaboration with Urs Haari of High Adventure. Urs drew on his experience of over 300 deployments with various parachutes.
 - He extensively tested the PENTAGON during the different design phases. The focus was on tests with the paraglider attached. In practice, this is much more common than the certification test scenario where the paraglider is jettisoned. The practical tests were supplemented by flow simulations of various designs. In the end, the Pentagon was the best of all solutions.

In recent years, people have bred freshwater pearls as a substitute for natural pearls that occur in seawater, and they have also developed water-soluble pearl powder (P-w) and ultra-micro (P-μ) and ultra-nano pearl powder (P-n) products. However, neither the scientific value of pearl powder, nor the differences in efficiencies of different pearl powder products is still unknown. In this study, the effectiveness of three kinds of pearl powder products in various applications was compared. Tests for transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and evaluations of the skin surface hydration of test subjects showed that pearl powder has a satisfactory moisturizing effect on skin and that P-μ has a distinctly stronger moisturizing effect than P-w. The three pearl powder products can also significantly reduce the activation of tyrosinase and free radicals. In tests for reducing power and l,l-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) for scavenging free radicals, P-n and P-μ showed better performance than P-w. These results provide a reliable scientific basis for the use of pearl powder in beauty treatment, resistance to aging, and clinical medical treatment.

Mechanical Processing after Carburizing Treatment of Drop Forging
In order to achieve high surface hardness and surface roughness, improve fatigue strength, and meet working performance of drop forgings, Mechanical processing will be operated after carburizing treatment. The mechanical processing after carburizing treatment is generally as follows:
1) Machining
The surface carbon content after carburizing is high, and after heat treatment, the surface of drop forged blanks will exsit a large amount of residual austenite, easy to form grinding cracks, such as burns and crack, in the process of grinding. Besides, grinding crack can also produce if there is thick carbide, carbide network or carbide film. So in the process of Mechanical Processing, we should refer to the technical requirements of carburizing forgings, choose the correct process parameters according to the specific characteristics. This will help improve the quality of the drop forgings, and can guide the actual machining.
2) Shot blasting
Shot blast the carburized drop forgings into shot blasting machines, pill granule will impact the products with high speed of 50 ~ 70 m/s after a certain period of time, on the surface depth range of 0.1 ~ 0. 25 mm, drop forgings will win the uniform cold work hardening layer, thus to improve the hardnss of forging surface. Its effect has a direct relationship with the original organization of material surface. There will be obvious hardening effect if the surface has redundant residual austenite organization after quenching. Once appear carbide network on the surface, it will cause the emergence of surface crack, therefore, there is a strict control and requirements on the quenching organization of carburized forging surface.
3) Rolling or polishing
To improve the fatigue life, and the strengthening effect of drop forging surface, except for shot blasting processing, drop forgings can also be rolled or polished processing, namely rolling or rolling friction polishing. It is a kind of cold work hardening and strengthening technologies on the surface, which has the following features:
a) Improving surface hardness, change the size and distribution of residual stresses.
b) Improve surface finish of drop forgings.
c) Increase bending fatigue strength and touching fatigue strength.

Equal Credit Opportunity Act - ECOA
DEFINITION of 'Equal Credit Opportunity Act - ECOA'
A regulation created by the U.S. government that aims to give all legal individuals an equal opportunity to apply for loans from financial institutions and other loan granting organizations. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) states that individuals cannot be discriminated upon via factors that are not directly related to their creditworthiness. It prohibits creditors and lenders from considering a consumer's race, color, national origin, sex, religion or marital status in deciding whether to approve their loan or credit application. Financial institutions also cannot deny credit based on age, as long as the applicant is of legal age and has the mental capacity to enter into a contract, nor can they deny credit because the applicant is receiving public assistance.
BREAKING DOWN 'Equal Credit Opportunity Act - ECOA'
When you apply for a mortgage, the lender will ask you about some of these facts under federal requirements that are supposed to help prevent discrimination, but you are not required to respond. The only accepted factors that can be used to determine whether or not an individual is acceptable for a loan are relevant financially related information such as one's credit score, income and existing debt load.
Another aspect of the ECOA allows each spouse in a marriage to have his or her own credit history in his or her own name. That being said, if you have any joint accounts with your spouse, these accounts will appear on both of your credit reports, so your spouse's financial behavior can still have a positive or negative impact on your credit score.
While the ECOA prohibits lenders from basing their decisions on your marital status, some loans, such as mortgages, might require you to disclose that you are making required alimony or child support payments. And if you receive child support or alimony and it represents a significant source of your income, you might need to disclose it in order to qualify for a loan. You could be denied a loan if, for example, your child support payments combined with your other financial obligations mean that you don't have enough money to repay the loan as required. You cannot be denied a loan simply because you are divorced, though.
Organizations found in violation of this act could potentially face class-action suits. If found guilty, the offending organization could have to pay out punitive damages totaling up the lesser of $500,000 or 1% of the creditor's net worth.

Steam Weeder – the technology behind the machine.
The technology behind SteamWeeder's chemical free "hydro-thermal" steam weeding uses high-temperature heated water and wet steam to kill weeds on contact. To be effective at killing weeds the temperatures need to be greater than 98° Celsius, (205°F) and must have rapid transfer into the plant cells.
Propane flame and non-saturated steam is less efficient at transferring destructive heat into the vegetation and hot water will do the job but is much slower and uses a lot more energy.
How does Steam Weed technology work?
The steam destroys the weeds on contact within minutes. This occurs via a process known as "plasmolysis" where the steam rapidly raises the temperature of water in plant's cells, which in turn causes them to expand and destroys the structure of the cell wall and soft tissue. The targeted weeds will immediately wilt and within 1-3 days they decompose, enriching the soil.
How plants cells break down after Steam Weeding?
1. The cell of a healthy plant
The cell wall of a healthy plant cell is robust and full of liquid.
2. After high-pressurised steam
SteamWeeding applies high-pressurised steam, thereby increasing the temperature of the water within the cell, causing the plant cell wall to collapse.
3. Plant cell wall breaks down completely
Immediately the plant cell wall has completely broken down and the plant wilts. Within 1-3 days the plant decomposes adding nutrients back in the soil.
