Parish Registration
Registering at St. John's is easy. Just download the registration form below and fill it out. You can drop the completed form off at the parish office Tues.-Fri. between 8am and 4pm or email it to
Membership in a parish and registering at a parish are not the same thing, although they are often spoken of interchangeably. A "parish" consists of a geographical area with clearly defined boundaries, which has its own church or chapel belonging to it and its own pastor administering it. Any Catholic who lives within the physical boundaries of a parish is automatically considered a "member" of that parish for purposes of administering the sacraments. He/she cannot be refused the sacraments by the pastor of the parish in which he/she resides unless the pastor has a valid canonical reason to do so. For example, when a Catholic marries, the pastor of the parish within whose boundaries he/she resides has a responsibility to witness the marriage, unless there is a valid canonical reason for him to refuse (e.g., the person is already validly married to another spouse).
Being registered at a parish is different. One becomes registered at a parish when one fills out a census form, regularly contributes to the parish's finances, or otherwise "signs up" at the parish. Registering is primarily useful for administrative purposes. Keeping a parish registry allows pastors and administrative staff to keep track of who is worshipping at the parish and contributing to the parish's financial needs. However, a pastor is not required to provide "one-time" sacraments, such as marriage or baptism, to a registered person who is not a geographical member of the parish.
Registering at a parish has a lot of great benefits, including having one's contact information on record at the parish and being able to receive important communications, having an established sacramental record, and receiving offertory envelopes, which make it easier to keep track of contributions.
Here are some interesting articles on the historical development of parishes and on the difference between parish membership and registration.

Composite railway bridge construction
Plymouth-based Pipex px, a supplier of composite and thermoplastic products for construction projects, has manufactured a Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) footbridge to replace its steel predecessor.
The footbridge, being installed at Dawlish railway station on the South Devon seafront, is reportedly the first FRP bridge to be installed 'in station' as well as the first Grade II listed FRP bridge.
Pipex px states safety concerns were raised after the existing steel footbridge structure at Dawlish station suffered severe corrosion damage due to its close proximity to the seafront and subsequent harsh marine environment. In addition to corrosion of the main girders and roof structure, the original timber decking had rotted and the protective paintwork had broken down.
Network Rail engineers considered a number of alternative solutions, including a complete refurbishment, but Pipex px states its FRP fabrication was concluded to be the ideal solution for the project.
Pipex px manufactured the Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) footbridge for the Grade 2 listed rail station, with its design team able to successfully replicate the look of the original 1930s steel bridge.
Pipex px states the extreme durability and corrosion resistant properties of its FRP ensures that the new structure will require minimal maintenance once installed, significantly reducing overall expenditure during its design life. Significantly more lightweight than traditional steel, the Pipex px FRP bridge offers fast track installation, reducing disruption to services and customers.
Testing work has been carried out and it is hoped that the project will be fully completed by the end of November 2012.

Event ID 3001 — RD Gateway Server Configuration
Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2
For remote clients to successfully connect to internal network resources (computers) through a Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) server, the RD Gateway server must be configured correctly. The RD Gateway server must be configured to use an appropriate Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)-compatible X.509 certificate, and authorization policy settings must be configured correctly. Remote Desktop connection authorization policies (RD CAPs) specify who can connect to the RD Gateway server. Remote Desktop resource authorization policies (RD RAPs) specify the internal network resources that clients can connect to through an RD Gateway server.
|Product:||Windows Operating System|
|Message:||The RD Gateway server certificate cannot be changed. The following error occurred: "%2". Verify the certificate and try changing the certificate again.|
Ensure that the required permissions are granted to the private key of the SSL certificate
To resolve this issue, ensure that required permissions are granted to the private key of the SSL certificate.
To perform this procedure, you must have membership in the local Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To grant the required permissions to the private key of the SSL certificate:
- On the RD Gateway server, open the Certificates snap-in console. If you have not already added the Certificates snap-in console, you can do so by doing the following:
- Click Start, click Run, type mmc, and then click OK.
- On the File menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in.
- In the Add or Remove Snap-ins dialog box, in the Available snap-ins list, click Certificates, and then click Add.
- In the Certificates snap-in dialog box, click Computer account, and then click Next.
- In the Select Computer dialog box, click Local computer: (the computer this console is running on), and then click Finish.
- In the Add or Remove Snap-ins dialog box, click OK.
- In the Certificates snap-in console, in the console tree, expand Certificates (Local Computer), expand Personal, and then navigate to the SSL certificate for the RD Gateway server.
- Right-click the certificate, point to All Tasks, and then click Manage Private Keys.
- In the Permissions for private keys dialog box, under Group or user names, click NETWORK SERVICE. Under Permissions for NETWORK SERVICE, if Read is not allowed, select the Allow check box adjacent to Read.

Recently while I was playing a CD, my system cut out and the word PROTECT was displayed on the digtal panel, the CD won't play and there is no sound coming out from the speakers. However, the tape deck plays but again there is no sound. I have tried most things suggested, but everytime I turn the system on the word PROTECT appears and won't allow any of the functions on the system to work. Can this be fixed?
The word PROTECT appears because there is a short. It can be in your speakers, try running it without the speakers plugged, or look if the wires arent shorting. If it stil ldoes that, its cause there is a short in it, from the output section. The system does that to prevent from damaging the electronic components inside.
- If you need clarification, ask it in the comment box above.
- Better answers use proper spelling and grammar.
- Provide details, support with references or personal experience.

Tip: The max point reward for answering a question is 15.
If protect is coming up on the display, it means the system is detecting a short somewhere on one of the speakers and so is turning the amp off to avoid damage. Check all the connections at the back of the amp to ensure they are not shorting, and at the back of each speaker, if nothing is found there, check each wire for damage (like squashed or rodent damage).
Kenwood head units show "protect" when there's a problem with the speaker outputs. This might mean a shorted speaker wire, a blown speaker, or an internal defect in the head unit. Once the condition that's causing the "protect" mode is fixed, the CD player should be back in normal mode the next time you turn it on.
If it's staying in "protect", then you'll definitely have to remove the stereo and do some troubleshooting to fix it. Many car audio stores will do system troubleshooting, for a fee. If you want to do it yourself, here's what you need to do:
Pull the Kenwood unit from the dash and disconnect all the speaker wires. Turn it on and see if the "protect" message displays. If it does, the stereo has an internal defect and will need to be serviced. If it doesn't, then turn it off, and re-connect one speaker. Turn it on again and see if it displays "protect".
If it works with a single speaker connected, keep re-connecting the others until you identify the speaker that's causing the problem. There may be a wiring problem or defective speaker in that location.
If it displays "protect" with a single speaker connected, then disconnect that one and try a different one. If all the speakers cause a "protect" mode, then you're probably back to a defective head unit, unless your friend managed to blow all your speakers at once.
Stereo sytems have a protection circuit that alerts you by displaying "protect" when there is a electrical short circuit detected in the system, the most common short happens in a speaker, try disconnectig the speaker wires of both speakers(all speakers) at the back of the system, then play the CD or cassette player(although you will not hear anything with the speakers disconnected) and see if the unit goes into "protect" mode if the problem is still present then you have an internal short circuit and the system will need to be sent in for service or replaced(depending on age,repair costs). I would not recommend investing more than $80 into repairs. Now, if the unit does not go into "protect mode" then one of the speakers or speaker wires is shorted,be sure you check the conndition of the speaker wires before you replace the speakers, then you can replace the speakers(in a pair) and you should be back up and listening! Good luck and Merry Christmas!
The protect light comes on when the amp cuts off the speakers to protect them from damage if something's wrong in the amp, or to protect the amp from speaker or wiring problems. If the amp plays for a while before cutting off, it's probably a thermal problem in the output stages. One of the output devices may be acting up as it heats up, or it could be bad connections that open up because of the heat. The trouble might also be caused by components in the power supply as well. Without having the unit on the service bench to check it, it's not possible to suggest specific things to look at. The manual wouldn't help you other than to say check your speaker connections and then have it serviced. The best thing to do if you want to keep this is to find a servicer in your area and get an estimate for the repair. Or if you or a friend is technically inclined, look into purchasing a service manual and see if you can do-it-yourself.

may be found in SAM, appendix 3.
Not all subset relations are equally significant. For instance, the statement that the major chord is a subset of the 12-note set, although true, is insignificant, because all sets are subsets of the 12-note set; i.e., the statement is not discriminating. The larger the superset is, the less significant are its subsets. A 3-note subset is more significant if it is a subset of a 4-note set, than it is if it were a subset of an 9-note set. This observation leads to a method for establishing subset significance. It is suggested here that a subset whose cardinality is more than half of the superset is more significant than one that is not. In this way one may make a distinction between significant-subsets (mapping>50%) by labelling them with an S, and a less-significant subset (mapping<=50%) by labelling it with a +.
To determine if one set is contained in another place both in prime form. In some cases, the pins of the smaller set will be the same as those of the larger set and can, thus, reveal the subset relation. But, most of the time this will not be the case.
Figure the intervals between successive pins of both sets. These intervals should, as usual, be considered cyclic. If the div of the smaller set can be aligned with the larger or with successive sums of the larger, then the subset relation applies.
Two sets are in the complement relation when one contains all the pcs that are excluded from the other. For example, a C major scale excludes "black keys". The five black keys are its complement, and vice versa. Thus, a 7-note set has a 5-note complement, a 4-note set has an 8-note complement, etc., where the complement cardinalities always add up to 12.
In the table of sets, sets with complementary cardinalities and the same ordinal number are complements. But, if one has a B ending, the complement does not. Exceptions to this are indicated with a < sign in the table of sets. This sign indicates that the complement has the same name ending.
All hexachords have hexachord complements. Many are there own complements, except for the B ending. Those that are not their own complements identify their complements by the ordinal number that follows two dots in the set name. These dots also identify Z-sets, those that have the same interval vector.
Every set is in the subset relation to its complement except for the complementary couple 7-Z12/5-Z12.
The cardinality of the two sets must add up to 12. Write the pins of the complement of one of the sets and place it in prime form. If this matches the other set, the two sets are complements.
Similarity relations are used to describe the relationships between sets of the same cardinality. These are based upon pc similarity and ic similarity.
Allen Forte describes four basic types of similarity relations, which he designates Rp, Ro, R1, and R2. Rp is determined by pc similarity, and the other three are determined by ic similarity.
Rp, maximum similarity of pc, exists when the two sets of cardinality C have at least one common subset of cardinality C-1, which is the same as saying that there is one unmatched pc.
Forte remarks that Rp by itself is "not especially significant" because it is too common, and leaves it at that. By Forte's Rp criteria, for example, 014 would be just as similar to 047 (major chord) as is 037 (minor chord). And, 014 is just as similar to 037 (minor chord) as is 036 (diminished chord). This does not agree with the way these chords are commonly perceived.
For a revision of Rp that would agree more with our perceived notions of similarity, one could require that the unmatched pc pair be within a semitone of a match. This makes the criteria for maximal similarity more selective, more distinguished, and corresponding more closely to our perceived notions of similarity. This type of similarity could be designated as simply P.
Ro, called "minimum similarity", exists when two set of cardinality C have no corresponding interval vector digits in common.
R1 and R2 are known as maximum similarity of interval class. Such is the case when four out of their six iv digits are equivalent. The remaining two dissimilar digits determine the difference between R1 and R2. If these are the same numbers but switched in position, then the relation is R1. If the two dissimiar digits are simply not equivalent, even if switched, the relation is R2.
1. They must be the same cardinality C.
2. They have four out of six iv digits corresponding and parallel (same position). (R1/R2)
3. They have all but one pc correspondence. (Rp)
Maximal similarity exists when two pc sets of the same cardinality can be mapped to one another, with the exception of one pc in one of the sets. Additionally, the interval vectors of the two sets must have four out of six matches.
These may be called the X relation (Forte's R1) when the unmatched digits are switched and the O relation (Forte's R2) when they are not. (The reasons for changing Forte's symbols become apparent when a single letter is needed on a "Relations Triangle". Additionally, X and O are easier to remember, because they neatly describe their respective relations in the shape of the letters.)
Another type of maximal similarity, called simply the R relation, is more selective, and is based upon a perception model that is statistically determined. By this criteria it is assumed that the perception of the similarity of small sets is easier than is the perception of the similarity of large ones; i.e., the similarity of, say, 9-note sets would be more difficult to perceive than their complements, 3-note sets. Thus, a formula is constructed to simulate this difference in perception. To satisfy R the sets must meet the following criteria:
1. Two pc sets of the same cardinality can be mapped to one another, with the exception of one pc in one of the sets, which must be within a semitone of a match with the unmatched pc of the other set.
2. There must be a minimum of interval correspondence T, where T equals the total number of ics corresponding in the two sets. T must be equal or greater than SC/8, where S is the sum of the ics in the set cardinality (the sum of the digits in the iv), and C is the cardinality.
As an example, compare the following two sets, given in prime form with their interval vectors:
C=6, the cardinality. Comparing the primes, only one pin pair is unmatched (8 and 9), and they are a semitone apart, which satisfies condition 1. Then observing the ivs, the sum (S) of the ics in this cardinality is 15. (This is determined by adding the numbers in either iv. All sets of cardinality C will have the same S.)
To determine T: The number of ics common in each iv position is equal to the smaller number (comparing each pair of digits in the same position), and 132321 is the result. Adding these together gives T, which is 12 in this case.
The number 8 is the cardinality chosen to represent a reasonable limit to the perception of R; i.e., sets having cardinalities greater than 7 cannot have the R relation (although they may have other maximally similar relations).
Since SC/8=11.25 and T=12 is greater, the two sets of our example meet the criteria for the R relation.
Various operations are commonly performed on pc sets. These include rotations (CEG becomes EGC, GCE, ECG, etc.) and registral displacement. These operations have no effect on pc content. That is, they remain invariant under these operations.
Two operations that are commonly performed on pc sets that can alter pc content are (1) transposition and (2) inversion.
Pc sets often maintain some pc invariance after a transposition. A common example is the whole-tone scale, 02468A, or 6-35*. When this set is transposed by 2 semitones all of its pcs are held invariant. This would, of course, have important compositional consequences. It would be important, then, to know when pcs are held invariant under the operation of transposition. We can determine this by examining the iv of a pc set. 6-35* has an iv of 060603. The number that appears in each position indicates the number of pcs held invariant when transposed by its respective ic. Thus, the 6 that appears in ic position 2 reveals that when this set is transposed by 2 semitones (t2), 6 pcs (all) are held invariant. Since this is an ic transposition it may be either up or down, i.e., t2 or t10. A zero in the first position reveals that when this set is transposed by 1 semitone no pcs are held constant (also true for t11). The same is true of t3 and t9. There is a 6 in the ic4 position, meaning that at t4 or t8, 6 pcs (all) are again held constant. The 3 in the ic6 position, however, may seem puzzling at first. But, recall that 6 is its own inversion; therefore, the number of invariant pcs is double the number in the ic6 position

Detach Objects from the Search Path
Detach a database, i.e., remove it from the search() path of available R objects. Usually this is either a data.frame which has been attached or a package which was attached by library.
Keywords
data
Usage
detach(name, pos = 2L, unload = FALSE, character.only = FALSE,
 force = FALSE)
Arguments
name
The object to detach. Defaults to search()[pos]. This can be an unquoted name or a character string but not a character vector. If a number is supplied this is taken as pos.
pos
Index position in search() of the database to detach. When name is a number, pos = name is used.
unload
A logical value indicating whether or not to attempt to unload the namespace when a package is being detached. If the package has a namespace and unload is TRUE, then detach will attempt to unload the namespace via unloadNamespace: if the namespace is imported by another namespace or unload is FALSE, no unloading will occur.
character.only
a logical indicating whether name can be assumed to be a character string.
force
logical: should a package be detached even though other attached packages depend on it?
Details
This is most commonly used with a single number argument referring to a position on the search list, and can also be used with a unquoted or quoted name of an item on the search list such as package:tools.
If a package has a namespace, detaching it does not by default unload the namespace (and may not even with unload = TRUE), and detaching will not in general unload any dynamically loaded compiled code (DLLs). Further, registered S3 methods from the namespace will not be removed. If you use library on a package whose namespace is loaded, it attaches the exports of the already loaded namespace. So detaching and re-attaching a package may not refresh some or all components of the package, and is inadvisable.
Value
The return value is invisible. It is NULL when a package is detached, otherwise the environment which was returned by attach when the object was attached (incorporating any changes since it was attached).
Note
You cannot detach either the workspace (position 1) nor the base package (the last item in the search list), and attempting to do so will throw an error.
Unloading some namespaces has undesirable side effects: e.g.unloading grid closes all graphics devices, and on some systems tcltk cannot be reloaded once it has been unloaded and may crash R if this is attempted.
Good practice
detach() without an argument removes the first item on the search path after the workspace. It is all too easy to call it too many or too few times, or to not notice that the search path has changed since an attach call.
Use of attach/detach is best avoided in functions (see the help for attach) and in interactive use and scripts it is prudent to detach by name.

The Hydrometeorological Service of the Ministry of Agriculture has predicted that there will be wet as usual to above normal rainfall conditions over most of Guyana for the months May to July 2022. The highest rainfall totals and the possibility of flash floods during this season is expected to peak in May and June.
According to the seasonal forecast issued, rainfall amounts, and frequency are expected to increase as the season progresses.
It was noted that as the season progresses, water levels in the conservancies, reservoirs and rivers across all Regions are likely to increase. The potential of flooding because of rain during this period is also expected to increase throughout May and June 2022.
The highest amount of rainfall can be expected in Regions 3, 7, 8 and 10. However, all other Regions can still expect higher than normal rainfall values.
The temperature outlook suggests that except for some areas in Regions 1 and 10, all other areas can expect cool as usual to cooler (below-normal) night-time temperatures. Warmer than usual (above-normal) day-time temperatures can be expected in northern Regions while cooler than usual in the south.
The bulletin also noted that an increasing number of wet days and wet spells coupled with high tides could lead to water accumulation in Coastal Regions and disruption to transport and possibility of landslides in hinterland areas. Flooding can lead to loss of crops and livestock, contamination of surface water, breeding grounds for mosquitos and the proliferation of waterborne diseases.
The Hydrometeorological Service has recommended the continued maintenance of drainage infrastructure as the country transitions into the wet season and has urged farmers to take all necessary precautions to secure their crops and livestock.
The Hydrometeorological Service will provide updates to its seasonal forecast as new information becomes available and recommends that special attention be paid to short-range forecasts provided to plan daily farm activities.
For short-range forecasts and weather analyses, stakeholders are advised to follow the daily weather briefs, outlooks and advisories produced by the National Weather Watch Centre or visit _URL_. The forecast desk could also be reached at _PHONE_ or _PHONE_.

Problem and Research Objectives
The Municipality of Aņasco has a landfill system where non-hazardous solid waste are deposited. The landfill system requires the implementation of a management plan that identifies potential groundwater pollution problems of this water and procedures to prevent, mitigate and restore their quality. As part of the necessary information for the development of this plan is required to know the direction of groundwater flow by determining the hydraulic gradient of the aquifer system.
The main objective of the study is to determine the hydraulic gradient in the groundwater surface. Other data of interest, that can be obtained during the test pits driving, is a visual description of the material removed.
To obtain the level of groundwater is necessary the driving of different test pits in strategic locations. A minimum of five test pits are required, these test pits will be located at specific points previously discussed with the Health Department staff and its consultant, engineer Felipe Nazario. Once these levels are obtained through techniques of flow in porous media, the hydraulic gradient will be determinate and then the direction of groundwater flow.
Results and Deliverables
The product of this study is a report with the data obtained in the field and the corresponding analysis for determining the hydraulic gradient and direction of groundwater flow. The report will include a map showing the location of the water surfaces.

San Rafael's Davidson Middle School science building wins North Bay top project award
At the rapidly expanding Davidson Middle School at 280 Woodland Ave., the San Rafael City School District needed new modern, flexible space for its forward-thinking science and math program.
Working with a tight budget and schedule, the project team of Quattrocchi Kwok Architects and Jeff Luchen Construction completed a two-story modular classroom building with 10 integrated science labs, six prep rooms, student and staff rest rooms, an electrical and mechanical room, science courtyard and outdoor classroom spaces.
The project was completed in January 2020, creating a sustainable and efficient Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) building with 14,800 square feet of space.
Flexible indoor and outdoor spaces use the building itself as a teaching mechanism by integrating the exposed structural, mechanical and electrical components to promote student interest in building design and technology used in a modern school building.
Eco-friendly features include abundant and energy-efficient lighting and mechanical systems, fresh air circulation, low-flow plumbing systems and drought-tolerant landscaping.
The team's modular design effectively crafted the building's layout to maximize program areas and stay within budget. Materials were selected with sustainability, durability and cost-effectiveness in mind.
To increase interest, the exterior façade design carefully considered color and made use of two types of window treatments and shading systems.
With SIP restrictions, students were only able to occupy the new building for a few months before virtual learning went into effect, but school officials say this facility will be an asset as the staff looks ahead to make decisions around hybrid and in-person learning. The total project cost was $12 million.

The uptake of EGME and the urinary excretion of its major metabolite (MAA) was studied in seven male volunteers during experimental exposure to EGME at rest. The exposure concentration was set at 16 mg/m3, the present Threshold Limit Value. A high retention (0.76) remained unchanged during the 4-h exposure period. In combination with a constant pulmonary ventilation and a fixed exposure concentration this resulted in an uptake rate that showed no significant variation in time. The total amount of EGME inhaled corresponded to a dose of only 0.25 mg/kg. During and up to 120 h after the start of the exposure, MAA was detected in the urine. The elimination half-life was on average 77.1 h. The total amount of MAA excreted was calculated by extrapolation and averaged 85.5% of the inhaled EGME. The pharmacokinetic data are compared with those obtained from other human exposure studies to ethylene glycol ethers (EGEE and EGBE).

Due to the drought, the 2023 bison herd has left Cedar Creek. The Oak Savanna Trail remains open until Sept 30th, and volunteers continue to staff the gazebo on Saturdays.
Bison and savanna research
In 2018, researchers at Cedar Creek initiated a new project that brought bison to our oak savannas as part of our decades-long work on savanna dynamics and restoration. This exciting opportunity is funded by Minnesota's Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, which helps maintain, restore and enhance Minnesota's environment and natural resources. Below are some informational resources, updates, and answers to frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact researcher Forest Isbell via email ( _EMAIL_ ).

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the bison be here year round?
The bison are only at Cedar Creek during the growing season, from approximately late May through some time in the fall (mid-September in 2018, mid-October in 2019, 2020 and 2021, late September in 2022, early August in 2023). They arrive after prescribed burn season has finished, and depart when available grass on the landscape declines.
Where do the bison come from?
Will I be able to see the bison or will they be off limits to the public?
We hope so! During the summer and early fall when the herd is onsite, the bison trail extension is open daily for self-guided walking. The gazebo is generally staffed by volunteers on Saturdays. Keep an eye on Cedar Creek's website and facebook page for more details on these and other opportunities to visit as they are scheduled! Do keep in mind that this is not a zoo - the bison have 210+ acres of rolling oak savanna to roam, and they may not be visible even during scheduled events or open hours!
Will I still be able to hike and ski on the Fish Lake Nature Trail?
There is no change in access to the Fish Lake hiking trail, which remains open year-round and is outside the bison enclosure. Similarly, there is no change in access to the ski trails, which remain open when there is snow on the ground (note that bison will not be present on the property when there is snow). As always, please remember that no dogs are ever allowed on the trails and that you must stick to the marked trails and roads to avoid damaging research projects.
What should I do if I see an escaped bison?
Please call 911 and report your sighting to the dispatcher. This will initiate a phone tree that will alert Cedar Creek staff and project scientists, as well as the team in charge of retrieving the animal and returning it to the enclosure.
How many bison will there be?
In summer 2018, there were 32 bison onsite for three months. In 2019 and 2020, we hosted 17 males for nearly 5 months. 2021 brought 16 bison to our oak savannas. In 2022 and 2023, we hosted 18 individuals. Numbers are being kept low to ensure that there will be plenty of grazeable land available for each bison.
How can I learn more about bison?
We hope you'll attend a public event at Cedar Creek during the summer months, and come see our bison herd and our research project in person! While the bison are away from Cedar Creek, we recommend the National Parks Service series "Bison Bellows". This 52-week set of short articles from 2015 and 2016 covers bison ecology and history, celebrates the heroes of bison conservation, and shares information about the 16+ bison herds managed by the federal government.

text: This study blends the simplicity and empirical success of univariate GARCH processes with an easy to estimate and interpret dynamic correlation estimator. A two step estimator and a simple test are employed to verify the null of constant correlation against an alternative of dynamic conditional correlation. The real strength of the DCC estimation process is its flexibility of univariate GARCH but not the complexity of conventional multivariate GARCH, therefore large correlation matrices can be estimated. One of the primary motivations for this study is that the correlations between assets are not constant through time. The focus of the study is hence to explore the empirical applicability of the multivariate DCC-GARCH model when estimating large conditional covariance matrices. Among the adopted models, DCC-GARCH(1,1)- t can be considered as the best model in measuring VaR, and DCC-GARCH(1,1) can be considered as the second best, while SMA is in the last. The results have suggested that a more complete model which carries more time series characteristics may outperform the others in the sample.

 - Fabry–Perot (F–P)-based phase demodulation of heterodyne light-induced thermoelastic spectroscopy (H-LITES) was demonstrated for the first time in this study. The vibration of a quartz tuning fork (QTF) was detected using the F–P interference principle instead of an electrical signal through the piezoelectric effect of the QTF in traditional LITES to avoid thermal noise. Given that an Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI) is vulnerable to disturbances, a phase demodulation method that has been demonstrated theoretically and experimentally to be an effective solution for instability was used in H-LITES. The sensitivity of the F–P phase demodulation method based on the H-LITES sensor was not associated with the wavelength or power of the probe laser. Thus, stabilising the quadrature working point (Q-point) was no longer necessary. This new method of phase demodulation is structurally simple and was found to be resistant to interference from light sources and the surroundings using the LITES technique.

St. Platonida of Syria
Commemorated on April 6
St. Platonida was at first a deaconess, but afterwards withdrew into the Nisibis Desert, where she organized a women's monastery.
The Rule of her monastery was known for its strictness. The sisters partook of food only once a day. When they were not praying, they spent their time in monastic labors and various obediences.
St. Platonida was for all the sisters a living example of strict monastic asceticism, meekness, and love for neighbor. Having reached a great old age, St. Platonida died peacefully in the year 308.

This report describes New Zealanders that have been made to have sex against their will, referred to as non-volitional sex. It covers their age at the most recent non-volitional sex and their relationship with the perpetrator.
Over 10,000 respondents aged 16–74 years completed the sexual and reproductive health module in the 2014/15 Health Survey.
Use our Sexual and Reproductive Health Data Explorer to see the results from the 2014/15 Health Survey.
If you have any queries please email [email protected].
Overview of key findings
- Sex against an individual's will after the age of 13, referred to in this document as non-volitional sex, has been experienced by many more women (one in nine) than men (one in 30) aged 16–74 years; over half of these experiences occurred when the people concerned were teenagers.
- Māori men and women were more likely to have experienced non-volitional sex than non-Māori, and Asian women were less likely than non-Asian women to have experienced it.
- Women currently living in the most deprived areas were more likely than those in the least deprived areas to have experienced non-volitional sex.
- Women and men mostly knew the perpetrator of their most recent experience of non-volitional sex, either as a former or current intimate partner (34 percent of women, 16 percent of men), a family member or friend (26 percent of women, 31 percent of men), or as an acquaintance (22 percent of women, 28 percent of men).
- Among Māori and Pacific women, the most recent perpetrator was more likely to have been a family member or friend than it was for non-Māori and non-Pacific women.

the null indicator information in the parallel null structure, then upon object flush the object attributes will be set to
NULL in the database.
If you want to set all of the attributes to
NULL during object creation, you can use the
LNOCI_OBJECT_NEW_NOTNULL attribute of the environment handle using the LNOCIAttrSet() function. When set, this attribute creates a non-null object. That is, all the attributes are set to default values provided by Oracle and their null status information in the parallel null indicator structure is set to
NULL. Using this attribute eliminates the additional step of changing the indicator structure. You cannot change the default values provided by Oracle. Instead, you can populate the object with your own default values immediately after object creation.
When LNOCIObjectNew() is used to create a persistent object, the caller must identify the database table into which the newly created object is to be inserted. The caller identifies the table using a table object. Given the schema name and table name, the LNOCIObjectPinTable() function returns a pointer to the table object. Each call to LNOCIObjectPinTable() results in a call to the server to fetch the table object information. The call to the server happens even if the required table object has been previously pinned in the cache. When the application is creating multiple objects to be inserted into the same database table, Oracle Corporation recommends that the table object be pinned once and the pointer to the table object be saved for future use. Doing so improves performance of the application.
Before you can update an object, the object must be pinned in the cache. After pinning the object, the application can update the desired attributes directly. You must make a call to the LNOCIObjectMarkUpdate() function to indicate that the object has been updated. Objects which have been marked as updated are placed in a dirty list and are flushed to the server upon cache flush or when the transaction is committed.
You can delete an object by calling the LNOCIObjectMarkDelete() function or the LNOCIObjectMarkDeleteByRef() function.
You can control the size of the object cache by using the following two OCI environment handle attributes:
LNOCI_ATTR_CACHE_MAX_SIZEcontrols the maximum cache size
LNOCI_ATTR_CACHE_OPT_SIZEcontrols the optimal cache size
You can get or set these OCI attributes using the LNOCIAttrGet() or LNOCIAttrSet() functions. Whenever memory is allocated in the cache, a check is made to determine whether the maximum cache size has been reached. If the maximum cache size has been reached, the cache automatically frees (ages out) the least-recently used objects with a pin count of zero. The cache continues freeing such objects until memory usage in the cache reaches the optimal size, or until it runs out of objects eligible for freeing. The object cache does not limit cache growth to the maximum cache size. The servicing of the memory allocation request could cause the cache to grow beyond the specified maximum cache size. These two parameters allow the application to control the frequency of object aging from the cache.
Pinning is the process of retrieving an object from the server to the client cache, laying it in memory, providing a pointer to it for an application to manipulate, and marking the object as being in use. The LNOCIObjectPin() function de-references the given
REF and pins the corresponding object in the cache. A pointer to the pinned object is returned to the caller and this pointer is valid as long as the object is pinned in the cache. This pointer should not be used after the object is unpinned because the object may have aged out and therefore may no longer be in the object cache.
The following are examples of LNOCIObjectPin() and LNOCIObjectUnpin() calls:
status = OCIObjectPin(envh, errh, empRef,(OCIComplexObject*)0, OCI_PIN_RECENT, OCI_DURATION_TRANSACTION, OCI_LOCK_NONE, (dvoid**)&emp); /* manipulate emp object */ status = OCIObjectUnpin(envh, errh, emp);
empRef parameter passed in the pin call specifies the
REF to the desired employee object. A pointer to the employee object in the cache is returned in the
You can use the LNOCIObjectPinArray() function to pin an array of objects in one call. This function de-references an array of
REFs and pins the corresponding objects in the cache. Objects that are not already cached in the cache are retrieved from the server in one network round-trip. Therefore, calling LNOCIObjectPinArray() to pin an array of objects improves application performance. Also, the array of objects you are pinning can be of different types.
When pinning an object, you can use the pin option argument to specify whether the recent version, latest version, or any version of the object is desired. The valid options are explained in more detail in the following list:
LNOCI_PIN_RECENTpin option instructs the object cache to return the object that is loaded into the cache in the current transaction; in other words, if the object was loaded prior to the current transaction, the object cache needs to refresh it with the latest version from the database. Succeeding pins of the object within the same transaction would return the cached copy and would not result in database access. In most cases, you should use this pin option.
LNOCI_PIN_LATESTpin option instructs the object cache to always get the latest copy of the object. If the object is already in the cache and not-locked, the object copy is refreshed with the latest copy from the database. On the other hand, if the object in the cache is locked, Oracle assumes that it is the latest copy, and the cached copy is returned. You should use this option for applications that must display the most recent copy of the object, such as applications that display stock quotes, current account balance, and so forth.
LNOCI_PIN_ANYpin option instructs the object cache to fetch the object in the most efficient manner; the version of the returned object does not matter. The pin any option is appropriate for objects which do not change often, such as product information, parts information, and so forth. The pin any option also is appropriate for read-only objects.
When pinning an object, you can specify the duration for which the object is pinned in the cache. When the duration expires, the object is unpinned automatically from the cache. The application should not use the object pointer after the object's pin duration has ended. An object can be unpinned prior to the expiration of its duration by explicitly calling the LNOCIObjectUnpin() function. Oracle supports two pre-defined pin durations:
LNOCI_DURATION_SESSION) lifetime is the duration of the database connection. Objects that are required in the cache at all times across transactions should be pinned with session duration.
LNOCI_DURATION_TRANS) lifetime is the duration of the database transaction. That is, the duration ends when the transaction is rolled back or committed.
When pinning an object, the caller can specify whether the object should be locked using lock options. When an object is locked, a server-side lock is acquired, which prevents any other user from modifying the object. The lock is released when the transaction commits or rolls back. The following list describes the available lock options:
LNOCI_LOCK_NONElock option instructs the cache to pin the object without locking.
LNOCI_LOCK_Xlock option instructs the cache to pin the object only after acquiring a lock. If the object is currently locked by another user, the pin call with this option waits until it can acquire the lock before returning to the caller. Using the
LNOCI_LOCK_Xlock option is equivalent to executing a
SELECT FOR UPDATEstatement.
LNOCI_LOCK_X_NOWAITlock option instructs the cache to pin the object only after acquiring a lock. Unlike the
LNOCI_LOCK_Xoption, the pin call with
LNOCI_LOCK_X_NOWAIToption will not wait if the object is currently locked by another user. Using the
LNOCI_LOCK_X_NOWAITlock option is equivalent to executing a
SELECT FOR UPDATE WITH NOWAITstatement.
Depending upon how frequently objects are updated, you can choose which locking options from the previous section to use.
If objects are updated frequently, you can use the pessimistic locking scheme. This scheme presumes that contention for update access is frequent. Objects are locked before the object in the cache is modified, ensuring that no other user can modify the object until the transaction owning the lock performs a commit or rollback. The object can be locked at the time of pin by choosing the appropriate locking options. An object that was not locked at the time of pin also can be locked by the function
LNOCIObjectLock(). The locking function
LNOCIObjectLockNoWait() does not wait to acquire the lock if another user holds a lock on the object.
If objects are updated infrequently, you can use the optimistic locking scheme. This scheme presumes that contention for update access is rare. Objects are fetched and modified in the cache without acquiring a lock. A lock is acquired only when the object is flushed to the server. Optimistic locking allows for a higher degree of concurrent access than pessimistic locking. To use optimistic locking most effectively, the Oracle object cache detects if an object is changed by any other user since it was fetched into the cache. By turning on the object change detection mode, object modifications are made persistent only if the object has not been changed by any other user since it was fetched into the cache. This mode is activated by setting

More Water Being Released from Folsom Dam
In an effort to keep salt water from entering the Delta, Nimbus and Folsom Dam are releasing an extra 2,000 cubic feet of water per second from each of the dams. In order to keep fresh water fish alive in the delta, water is needed to flow from the mountains, or else salt water creeps in to the delta. Dry weather in recent weeks have kept the water flow minimal. Folsom Dam is currently releasing 5,500 cubic feet of water per second.

Nacha launches ACH messaging campaign and microsite
Source: Electronic Payments Association
The Electronic Payments Association today announced the launch of a new industry resource, its microsite.
The microsite - a supplement to the main site - was created to help all payments industry participants develop a common understanding of ACH payments, the NACHA Operating Rules, and the value of the ACH Network.
Launched today as part of a "New Year, New Messaging" campaign with the Regional Payments Associations (RPAs), the messaging microsite is a comprehensive, centralized industry resource containing communications tools and information to drive industry adoption and usage of consistent messaging, terminology, and phrasing to explain the attributes and benefits of the ACH Network and ACH payments.
NACHA's ACH Messaging resource site was developed as a result of an industry-inclusive process that engaged Network participants to ensure that the right terminology and messages are being used to explain the electronic movement of money and information via the ACH Network. Based on this research, NACHA developed specific language to define the ACH Network, generated terminology to explain ACH payments, and created distinctive phrasing to convey the role of the ACH Network and its characteristics. The final results of this initiative and how to apply them within unique organizations are available on the microsite.
" provides the necessary tools for all financial institutions and businesses to more consistently communicate about their use of the ACH Network and ACH payments," said Janet O. Estep, NACHA president and CEO. "We encourage all Network participants to review the resources available and begin incorporating the messages, terminology, and phrasing into their communications."
Numerous tools have been developed to help organizations describe ACH payments with terminology that both consumers and businesses will better understand. Using these resources can help avoid confusing payment terminology that may be misinterpreted by those using the ACH Network. Businesses and financial institutioons can start using tools such as customer letters and emails, website banners and graphics, and incorporate the terminology and phrasing into appropriate materials today.

What are the differences between cutting fluid and cutting oil?
Views: 7 Author: Site Editor Publish Time: 2023-03-21 Origin: Site
Inquire
Cutting fluid and cutting oil are collectively referred to as metal working fluid. Although they have 4 basic elements, but they are different in some aspects, today Xiaobian for you to sort out and edit the difference between the two to share with you:
1, the difference of components
Cutting fluid and cutting oil are all cooling lubricants for metal working, although they have the same role and function. But there are essential differences in the production and use of material. Cutting oil is mainly composed of base oil and insoluble water additives, such as oil rust inhibitor and lubricant. The main component of cutting fluid is water, and add water-soluble rust inhibitor, lubricant, coupling agent, fungicide, cleaning agent, etc., from the composition of the cutting oil component is simple, the cutting fluid component is complex.
2, the use of performance is different
The main performance is that the cutting oil has good lubrication and rust prevention performance, so the cutting oil is usually used for finishing. Cutting fluid cleaning and cooling performance is good, cutting fluid is mainly used for high speed processing and rough processing need good cooling performance.
3. Maintenance is different during use
Cutting oil according to the specific situation of consumption of new oil can be added. Cutting fluid in the process of use is easy to deteriorate, causing odor. Therefore, in the process of use, pay attention to the concentration value and ph value change at any time and anywhere, and add stock solution and water.
4. The difference between cutting fluid and cutting oil in use cost
Cutting fluid in the process of use need to dilute 10-20 times with water. Cutting oil is used directly, so the cost of using cutting fluid is lower than cutting oil.

As part of a larger mixed-use development, Build Toronto—a real estate and development company—engaged superkül to develop retail concepts for an existing historic building in Toronto's downtown core. Originally the site of one of the city's four public markets, the current building was built in 1932 to house the Toronto Water Works. The southern section of the site has been used as a public park since the 1880s, and was the first city property "dedicated to, and equipped for, supervised children's play."
superkül's scope of work for the project included developing two conceptual design options for the 14,000-square-foot Water Works building, which will be integrated with a larger multi-unit residential development on the north side of the site. The first scheme, represented here, recalls the site's history as a public market and imagines the space as a food hall, complete with a large event space and winter garden. The second scheme develops the space as a children's toy store, along with an accompanying small movie theatre.
Deliverables included presentation plans and renderings.

The Ionic Toothbrush
How does it compare with a sonic or power brush?
A clinical meta-analysis of oscillating brushes (power and sonic) found that only certain types remove significantly more plaque than a manual toothbrush. And even then, the amount of plaque removed was only up to 11% more than a manual brush.
Research on the Ionic toothbrush showed that it removes up to 48% more plaque than a manual toothbrush. The Ionic toothbrush works on a different principle to other toothbrushes, making it extremely effective, even in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth
How does it remove plaque?
As dentists know, teeth normally have a negative polarity while plaque has an opposite or positive polarity. This is why plaque clings to your teeth.
The Ionic toothbrush from Dr. Tung's breaks this ionic bond by temporarily reversing the polarity of tooth surfaces as you brush. The plaque molecules are then repelled by the teeth and drawn to the negatively polarized bristles of the IONIC toothbrush.
Is the IONIC toothbrush Clinically Proven?
Yes. There have been many studies demonstrating the effectiveness of the IONIC toothbrush. One important study at Marquette University School of Dentistry showed a very significant 36.17% reduction in plaque. This was up to 48% MORE effective than a manual toothbrush. The same study showed a big improvement in gingival health - up to 51% - for the IONIC toothbrush group.
Plaque scores were determined using the Turesky-Gilmore-Glickman Index. Likewise, gingival indices were determined using the Loe Silness Gingival Inflammation Index. Other studies in both Japan and the USA have shown similar improvements in plaque scores, as well as improvements in dental hypersensitivity.
How do I test the battery?
The power cell lasts up to two years with normal use. It is easy to test the battery on our new Ionic toothbrush with integrated battery tester!
 1. Push button. Red light indicates that the battery has power and is working properly.
 2. If the light does not go on when testing, it is time to order a new IONIC toothbrush set.
 1. We recommend testing the battery monthly.
 2. The light does NOT go on when USING the toothbrush.
Do I need to use toothpaste?
You can use the Ionic toothbrush with or without toothpaste since the cleaning action occurs through ionic action - reversing polarity to make teeth repel plaque - and not merely through the mechanical scrubbing action as occurs with other toothbrushes. (You have to use an abrasive like toothpaste with other toothbrushes to help with the mechanical cleaning, as with scrubbing a floor.)
The Ionic toothbrush on the other hand, makes teeth repel plaque and also attracts plaque to the toothbrush head, both due to Ionic technology. This means you do not have to brush so hard, which is better for the gums. You do need some fluid for the ionic effect to work - this can be water (a wet toothbrush head) or toothpaste, as per your preference.
What is your warranty on the toothbrush?
Dr. Tung's Products warrants the IONIC toothbrush for one year from the purchase date against all defects in manufacturing, workmanship and power source failure. If within one year of date of purchase, this product fails to function because of defects in materials or workmanship, it can be returned for replacement.
 1. All returns require a return authorization number (RMA) or will not be accepted.
 2. Returns must include a copy of the original invoice from, plus an RMA number, which can be obtained by simply emailing us at
 3. Items purchased at a retail store, third-party website or International location should be returned to that store/website under that company's standard returns policy.
 4. Replacement items will ONLY BE SHIPPED TO USA OR CANADIAN ADDRESSES. We DO NOT ship to any other countries.
How do I care for my IONIC toothbrush?
 - After brushing, rinse and dry your Ionic Toothbrush and store in a dry place. (If your toothbrush lies in water / moisture, this will reduce the battery life and will void the warranty)
 - It is preferable to store your toothbrush away from metal surfaces.
 - Remove the brush head occasionally to rinse off toothpaste residue.
Note: If you cannot easily remove the brush head, toothpaste residue build up on the metal rod may be the issue. You can loosen this residue by soaking your Ionic Toothbrush in hot water for 2 - 3 minutes. Once you've soaked your toothbrush, you should more easily be able to remove the brush head. You can help prevent this from happening in the future by removing the brush head every 3 - 4 weeks and wiping off any accumulated build-up.

NOTE: In this article, Desert spoon and Dasylirionwheeleri may be used interchangeably; in fact, Dasylirionwheeleri is the botanical name for Desert spoon.
The desert spoon plant, also known as the spoon yucca plant, is a perennial shrub that is related to the Agave. A semi-succulent species, the plant grows at a moderate pace in dry, arid environments across Texas, parts of the Rio Grande Valley, the Pecos Valley in New Mexico, and parts of Arizona.
Why does my Dasylirionwheeleri roots have rot?
Root rot on your Desert spoon (Dasylirionwheeleri) can be fatal if not treated with care. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you follow our guide to keep your plant alive if the symptoms occur: Root soft and blackened.
Why does my Desert spoon have gray mold spots?
A particular fungus that frequently affects flowers and spreads quickly is known as gray mold spots. This fungus is most likely to blame if you see any brown (or gray) spots. Don't ignore these signs because doing so could cause your plant to die.
When you understand the root of the issue, the solution makes perfect sense. The majority of the time, it is caused by the Dasylirionwheeleri being overwatered. We urge you to cut off the infected roots and leaves, remove the affected sections of the plant, and then repot your plant in a fresh container with sterile potting soil.
Why does my Desert spoon have leaf spots?
We provide you with all the information you need to identify and save your plants if they display signs like leaves that suddenly change color or wilt/droop. This sort of sickness is one of the most aggravating for Desert spoon owners.
Why are my Desert spoon leaves turning yellow?
Yellowing leaves are arguably the most prevalent issue in the gardening world. Overwatering or a lack of nutrients are the 2 main causes of this issue.
Whether you think your plants are getting too much water, cut back on how often you water them, and take the following measures to see if they might be nutritionally deficient:
Here are some indicators of yellowing on the Dasylirionwheeleri brought on by its numerous flaws:
- The first symptom of a magnesium deficiency is yellow patches between leaf veins on elder leaves. The leaf's core turns yellow while the veins stay green. The edges of the leaf yellow last.
- Yellowing between leaf veins is another sign of iron shortage, but young leaves on plant tops and branch tips are initially affected.
- Sulfur deficiency starts with the newest leaves, turning them yellow throughout.
- Leaf edges turning bright yellow but inside leaf remaining green are signs of potassium insufficiency. The symptoms first appear on older leaves, and the leaf edges quickly become dark.
- A lack of nitrogen is indicated by a widespread yellowing. Older, inner leaves are the first to yellow. As the yellowing progresses, it eventually touches young leaves as well.
According to the symptoms mentioned above, you just have to act accordingly. You can reduce your watering frequency, or fix a deficiency in Potassium, or Nitrogen, for that, you just have to buy a special soil for your deficiency, a consultant in a gardening store will know perfectly well how to inform you.
Is my Desert spoon sunburned?
It is simple to determine whether your Desert spoon (your Dasylirionwheeleri) has sunburn. Your plant will change color in this instance, beginning to turn yellow or white, much like it does on us.
As we saw above, if your Desert spoon receives too much water or not enough light, the leaves may also change color.
To find out if the yellow leaves have been sunburned, look at the part of the bottom that is tinted closer to the base. The yellow leaf is probably burnt and not something else if this portion stays greener.
Why are my Desert spoon leaves turning brown?
Most of the time, leaves of a Desert spoon that turn brown is a sign that your plant has been sunburned, it has probably been exposed to too much direct sunlight. Don't panic, your plant probably won't die from this, but its growth will take a hit.
Should I leave my Dasylirionwheeleri in direct sunlight?
No! Don't leave your Dasylirionwheeleri (or Desert spoon) in the sun if it displays the symptoms mentioned above; that's why it's in such a bad situation.
The remedy, as said in the paragraph above, is simple: just move your plant's Desert spoon out of direct sunlight. Your plant should swiftly re-grow with this strategy and appropriate watering.
Why are my Dasylirionwheeleri leaves drooping or wilting?
This typically occurs when your Dasylirionwheeleri gets dehydrated. Large plants are more at risk since they naturally require more water than smaller plants.
You may quickly determine if your Dasylirionwheeleri plant needs water by under-weighing its pot; if it seems light, the soil and roots are probably fairly dry and require water.
If the soil in your plant's pot is completely dry, you will need to start by moistening it so that the roots will also benefit from the water. A common mistake is to drown the Desert spoon right after a dry period thinking that it needs a lot of water.
This is true, but the easiest way to end it is to give too much water at once. Instead, you should water the soil properly, returning to a peaceful watering rhythm.
Caring Tips for Dasylirionwheeleri
Water is essential to the survival of your plant, however, it is important to balance the rate of watering. As we explained above, overwatering could have fatal consequences for your Dasylirionwheeleri.
Touching the soil will let you know whether your plant needs water or not; if it still feels damp, it's generally best to wait a few more days.
Always keep temperatures stable
It is also a good idea to keep your Dasylirionwheeleri at a stable temperature (especially if it is kept indoors!). At GreenShack, we generally recommend staying in the 65 and 85 degrees F range. Of course, do not place your Dasylirionwheeleri near a source of hot (or cold) air such as A/C units, radiators or the like.
Keep your Desert spoon Dust-Free
This one relates to indoor plants. Just like your furniture, dust collects on the leaves of your indoor plants. The issue is that this can block the photosynthesis process from starting, which would cause the plants to gradually lose their color.
This would be a true journey into hell for your Desert spoon and would also satisfy the pests.
To remove the dust, gently rub the plant's leaves with a microfiber cloth. Dust can be removed more easily with a damp cloth, but stay away from corrosive substances like rubbing alcohol!
Keep drainage in mind
If you have a tendency to overwater, you need to keep an eye on your drainage, we advise you to opt for a pot with drainage holes if it is not already the case and a saucer.
If your pots don't already have holes in them, you can add volcanic rocks (or any other pebbles with holes) to the bottom of your pot in the meantime. This will assist in creating a channel and keep the water from pooling there for an extended period of time, protecting the roots from decay.

How Much Potential Energy Do Different Nuts Have?
It seems that at least once a year California has another energy crisis, and almost as often, someone wonders what will happen when California runs out of energy sources. Christopher Crews, knowing that all living things contain energy, set out to prove that different varieties of nuts have energy stores that can be released by burning.
I believe that burning different varieties of nuts will produce energy, and that peanuts will produce the most energy.
Amount of heat produced
- Number of nuts tested
- Amount of water
- Ten each whole, raw, unshelled nuts:
- 32-ounce coffee can
- Two 10-ounce soup cans
- Drill and bits
- Kitchen scale
- Fill large coffee can with water.
- Measure nut.
- Weigh water on kitchen scale.
- Measure and record starting water temperature.
- Drill hole through nut.
- Insert skewer through hole in nut.
- Heat nut with lighter and let the nut burn fully.
- Measure and record ending water temperature.
- Calculate BTU (starting temperature minus ending temperature divided by the weight of the water). BTU stands for British Thermal Unit, the energy necessary to raise the temperature of one pound of water by 1@dgsF. One BTU equals approximately 1,055 joules (or 1,055 watt-seconds).
- Repeat Steps 1 through 9 for each nut.
The average BTU for each type of nut is as follows:
Cashews 15.75 BTU
Almonds 13.76 BTU
Peanuts 10.77 BTU
The hypothesis was that burning different varieties of nuts would produce energy, with peanuts producing the most energy. That's partially correct because all the nuts produced energy. However, the hypothesis was incorrect because the cashews produced the most energy, and peanuts produced the least.
