Police in Brazil Killed Record Amount of People in 2020
An average of 17 people a day, totaling at least 6,416 people, were killed by police in Brazil during the year of 2020. These staggering totals set the highest amount ever recorded since tracking police killings in the country of over 211 million people. The 2020 numbers, compiled by the Brazilian Public Security Forum, are a 190% increase from 2013. Black Brazilians were killed at the highest rate, accounting for 79% of the deaths by police while only representing 56% of the population.
Non-profit Brazilian Public Security Forum released the data in their annual Brazilian Yearbook of Public Security which analyzes information provided by state, public security, civil, military, and federal police, among other sources. Over 11,000 people were killed by police during the five-year period of 2009-2013, averaging around 2,240 killings a year by police.
The vast majority of the families of those killed by police never receive justice and the lack of accountability has led to the Human Rights Watch seeking a dedicated prosecutorial body, not directly connected to the police, to handle cases of police abuse.
Large criminal organizations controlling swaths of heavily populated Brazilian cities are deeply connected to security forces controlled by the military and state and draw their roots from the two decades of Brazilian military dictatorship that ended in 1985. Evidence shows police involvement in criminal factions, militias, and death squads, like those linked to President Jair Bolsonaro's family that killed Marielle Franco in 2018, a human rights advocate and politician. These connections have helped to fuel the rise in police killings and allow for little accountability.

In the state of Rio de Janeiro, well known worldwide for its city with the same name, beautiful beaches and its nightlife, police killed 1,245 people in 2020. Based on the population of the state, one in every 12,851 residents are killed by police. Comparatively, police killed 1,126 people in the U.S. in 2020, which is one in every 291,296 residents. According to research collective Mapping Police Violence, of the 1,126 killed by U.S. police last year, 28% were Black, despite the Black population being only 13% of the total country.
Ultimately, the numbers from Brazil are staggering in comparison to the U.S. In the state of Rio de Janeiro, the police are 2,167 times more likely to kill you in than in the U.S.

The state of Rio de Janeiro also recorded seven of the top ten cities with the highest rates of police violence: Japeri, Itaguaí, Angra dos Reis, São Gonçalo, Queimados, Mesquita and Belford Roxo.
Those killings have continued in 2021, despite the Federal Supreme Court (STF) prohibiting police raids in the favelas (ADFP 635) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In late March 2021, Rio de Janeiro resident, Thainã de Meideiros, told Unicorn Riot that although ordered to stop raids, the police keep "coming up with excuses" to violate the legislative ruling.
Meideiros is part of the Papo Reto Collective, an organization focused on human rights, culture, harm reduction, health, and education in Complexo do Alemão, a large group of favelas in Rio de Janeiro.
Papo Reto was among a coalition of other collectives, including Black movement groups and those ran by mothers and relatives of lost loved ones from the favelas, as the initial groups to conjure up the motions that the STF ruled upon, the ADPF 635, or 'ADPF of the Favelas'. Setting a historical precedent, with ADPF 635 enacted, these collectives are recognized as amici curiae (advisors with the court based on their special expertise).
An ADPF is a Claim of Non-Compliance with a Fundamental Precept, a lawsuit claiming a violation of the Brazilian constitution by a governmental agency. Citing excessive police violence and new security policies allowing further abuses, the lawsuit was filed by the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) in 2019.
In August 2020, the STF confirmed the claim of non-compliance and ordered the halting of violent police operations. Yet, police operations continued in certain favelas. In April 2021, Supreme Court Justice Edson Fachin ruled in favor of requests in the motions and in June 2021, the STF issued an emergency restraining order on the police.
In short, it is proposed that the State of Rio de Janeiro prepare and submit to the STF, within a maximum period of 90 (ninety) days, a plan aimed at reducing police lethality and controlling human rights violations by the security forces in Rio de Janeiro, which contains objective measures, specific timetables and forecast of the necessary resources for its implementation. In addition, ADPF 635 addresses the following topics: end of the use of helicopters in police operations, protection of schools, guarantee of the right to participation and social control in public security policies, allowing participation and access to justice, expertise, and evidence to civil society and social movements as one of the main tools in resolving investigations into cases of murder and enforced disappearances.
ADPF 635 – Public Ministry of the State of Rio de Janeiro
Enforcing the 'ADPF of the Favelas' has, however, proven difficult after the STF ruling. Civil and military police made what many deem as reprisal killings in several districts to show they don't answer to the courts. Prosecutors have also been overruling Access to Information laws and making police records inaccessible to the public. For a deeper look into ADPF 635, see RioOnWatch's two part installment: 1, 2.
Meideiros lives in Complexo do Alemão, Rio de Janeiro, which has seen its share of military and police occupations and terror. Three months before STF ordered the suspension of police operations, 13 people were killed by police in one operation in Complexo do Alemão.
Just 15 minutes away from Alemão is Jacarezinho, Rio de Janeiro. On May 6, 2021, authorities committed the deadliest massacre in Brazilian history, killing 28 people during a failed police operation targeting drug traffickers in the favela. One officer died during the operation that lasted nearly seven hours with many of the 28 deaths occurring execution style.
The police denied wrongdoing, saying there were no irregularities or excesses of abuse. The operation had the initial objective of arresting 21 people under investigation, and led to the death of 28, not all of whom had arrest warrants. Three were arrested in total. This initially led to many organizations and even governmental agencies coming out in defense of the dead and the residents before falling silent with the fear of possible retaliation looming.
Over time, the "massacre" of Jacarezinho has fallen into national oblivion. Despite the murderous raid being so recent, there are almost no media discussions or local or national conversation about the operation anymore. This can likely be attributed to the fact that many peripheral Brazilians (those living in the favelas and peripheries of inner cities) have become desensitized to this type of violence. Decades of military occupations and urban pacification by armed authorities in Brazil have caused widespread cognitive dissonance and mental trauma.
"In no country in the world would the 28 deaths in one police intervention have been accepted and forgotten. But, we are in Brazil and here everything ends up in samba and/or pizza.
Anonymous Brazilian
Beyond Rio de Janeiro, there were over 5,000 more people killed by police throughout the country last year, including 814 killed in São Paulo. In lower-income territories, police abusing their authority is common and mistrust occurs between them and the community they serve.

Due to continuing police killings, many states are taking steps in attempts to reduce the number of deaths. A total of 18 police battalions in the state of São Paulo now have body cameras. This has resulted in a 53% reduction in the amount of police killings in the state and in June 2021 no one was killed by officers outfitted with cameras. Yet, military police not outfitted with cameras killed 22 that month.
Even with the new measures starting to be enacted to quell police terror throughout the country, already 6,160 people in Brazil have been killed as of September 7, 2021; pacing the country for another record-setting year of police killings.

Global consumers willing to pay more for British manufactured products
Sophie Chapman
2 min
Supply chain inefficiencies and miscommunication through "Chinese Whispers" are costing UK businesses over £1.5bn in lost productivity
A report released by Barclays Corporate Banking indicates that 39% of global consumers would be more likely to purchase products produced in the UK.
The report, dubbed Brand Britain: Export Opportunities for UK Businesses, notes that Asia and the Middle East are the most likely, conveying more interest in Brand Britain, and the association with quality.
Out of the 8,060 people surveyed, 67% Indian people, 62% people from the UAE, and 61% of Chinese people were more inclined.
The Barclays research also suggested that the dedication to British manufactured products was strongest with young people, with almost half (48%) said they would be more likely to purchase.
The majority of young people in China, between the ages of 25-34, were more interested in British made commodities, at 73%.
People with the over 55 age group, however, were less likely to be encouraged by British production, at only 24%.
The survey, which questioned people from eight markets – France, Germany, Republic of Ireland, India, China, UAE, the US, and South Africa – noted that food, fashion, and cars were the most popular products from the UK.
22% of consumers would be more willing to purchase food knowing it was from Britain.
Cars received 10% interest, with 9% of the group encouraged by British exported clothing, matching with 9% of people more likely to purchase British alcohol.

Gunding was a master carpenter and painter by profession. He belonged to the Philippine Independent Church. He married Fredesvinda Francisco Hernandez on 21 March 1935. The young couple lived with Gudning's parents in 104 C.R. Fuentes Street, Iloilo City at first. The home was where their three eldest children were born.
They migrated from Iloilo City to Manila in 1941, at the advise of Fredesvinda's father who, being affiliated with the government, knew that Manila would be the only open city where supplies and rations would be most accessible. In 1942, Fredesvinda's father, Juan Anderson Hernandez, served as superintendent of the Philippine Constabulary Academy, a training school for policemen. Segundino then worked in the Academy as the chief cook. In his efforts to help the Filipino guerillas, he would keep the armory unlocked for the rebels to loot overnight.
Segundino and Fredesvinda made Mandaluyong City their home. This city was where they raised their family. Fredesvinda was a homemaker and worked as a skilled dressmaker. Despite their humble lifestyle, they raised a closely-knit family and were important influences in the lives of their grandchildren.
A smoker since his teens, Lolo Gunding died of complications from lung disease on 21 April 1992 in Manila City.

A new countywide network of OTAGO trained specialist exercise trainers is now up and running aimed at helping to reduce the number of older people in Northamptonshire who have a fall.
Each year around one third of all people aged over 65 will have a fall and the consequences can be significant, often triggering a downward spiral of loss of confidence and independence, with increased reliance on health and social care services.
To help tackle this, a group of 14 exercise professionals has successfully completed the OTAGO programme leader training course which enables them to offer the exercise programme to older people across the county. The OTAGO exercise programme is an effective, evidence-based programme which is specifically designed to help older people increase their strength and balance, and therefore reduce the risk of them having a fall.
Standing Up for Ourselves
The OTAGO training was funded by Northamptonshire County Council as part of a joint strategy called Standing Up for Ourselves which has been developed in partnership with the NHS and other local and voluntary sector groups to transform the county's approach to falls prevention and promoting bone health.
Councillor Sylvia Hughes, county council cabinet member for public health and wellbeing said: "Congratulations to this first cohort of staff now fully trained in the OTAGO exercise programme. They will be working with people who may have fallen or feel unsteady on their feet or have concerns about balance and movement, to help to increase their strength and mobility, and in doing so prevent falls and injuries.
"Research shows that regular participation in exercise of this nature has a real and positive impact on falls prevention, reducing the likelihood of individuals being admitted to hospital with serious and potentially life-changing consequences. Plus these fun and friendly exercise classes are also a chance to socialise and try something new."

Nano-SAW devices for RFID and sensing applications: study of lithium niobate behavior
The key element of a SAW device is the piezoelectric material that allows conversion between electrical and mechanical energy. Lithium niobate is an appealing material as it could potentially provide high efficient SAW devices. This material is strongly anisotropic, thus, all the properties of the material are dependent of the orientation on the plane of the device and on the chosen piezoelectric layer cut. An analytical model is built to predict how the electromechanical coupling varies depending on cut and device on plane orientation.

The Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") recently released its Declaratory Ruling and Order regarding the requirements of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (the "TCPA"). The FCC Order provides some good news for the healthcare industry, clarifying the TCPA's application regarding calls to patients by healthcare providers, and granting an exemption from the TCPA's prior express consent requirement for certain healthcare calls that are not charged to the end recipient. Here's what you need to know:
Prior Express Consent:
- The General Rule. The Ruling clarifies that when a patient provides his telephone number to a healthcare provider, such provision constitutes prior express consent for healthcare calls subject to HIPAA. The express consent only extends to HIPAA covered entities and business associates acting on their behalf as defined in the HIPAA privacy rules and only to calls made within the scope of the consent given, and absent contrary instructions.
- Incapacitated Third Parties. The FCC Order additionally addressed the issue of whether a third party may provide a telephone number and prior express consent for incapacitated patients. In doing so, the FCC recognized that in certain situations, it may be impossible for a caller to provide prior express consent due to incapacity. The Order therefore allows for a third party to provide prior express consent to make healthcare calls subject to HIPAA where a party is unable to consent because of medical incapacity. In those situations, prior express consent to make healthcare calls subject to HIPAA may be obtained from a third party. As such, healthcare providers may make healthcare calls subject to HIPAA, to an incapacitated patient based on the prior express consent of a third party. At the time the patient is considered capable to grant consent on his own behalf, the third party consent is no longer valid. At that point, the healthcare provider must obtain prior express consent from the patient himself.
Free to End User Calls:
The Order also provides a limited exemption from the TCPA's prior express consent requirement for certain non-telemarketing, healthcare calls that are not charged to the receiving party.
- What Calls are Exempt?
- Calls have a healthcare treatment purpose
- Appointment and exam confirmations and reminders,
- Wellness checkups,
- Hospital pre-registration instructions,
- Preoperative instructions,
- Lab results,
- Post-discharge follow-up intended to prevent readmission,
- Prescription notifications
- Home healthcare instructions.
- What Calls are Not Exempt?Calls regarding accounting, debt collections, payment notifications, Social Security disability eligibility or other financial content.
- Requirements for Exempted Calls:
- Voice calls and text messages must be free to the end user and not counted against any plan limits to the recipient;
- Voice calls and text messages may be sent only to the wireless telephone number provided by the patient;
- Voice calls and text messages must state the name and contact information of the healthcare provider (for voice calls, these disclosures must be provided at the beginning of the call);
- Voice calls and text messages are strictly limited to the purpose permitted in the FCC's ruling;
- Voice calls and text messages must not include any telemarketing, solicitation, or advertising;
- All communications must comply with HIPAA privacy rules;
- Voice calls and text messages must be concise
- one minute or less in length for voice calls (unless more time is needed to obtain customer responses or answer customer questions)
- 160 characters or less in length for text messages;
- A healthcare provider may initiate only one (1) message per day, up to a maximum of three (3) voice calls or text messages combined per week from a specific healthcare provider;
- A healthcare provider must offer recipients within each message an easy means to opt out of future such messages;
- voice calls that could be answered by a live person must include an automated, interactive voice and/or key press-activated opt-out mechanism that enables the call recipient to make an opt-out request prior to terminating the call,
- voice calls that could be answered by an answering machine or voice mail service must include a toll-free number that the consumer can call to opt out of future healthcare calls, text messages must inform recipients of the ability to opt out by replying "STOP," which will be the exclusive means by which consumers may opt out of such messages; and,A healthcare provider must honor the opt-out requests immediately.


Bath and North East Somerset have developed a set of standards for Universal and SEN Support, called the Graduated Approach. This is a tool for settings from Early Years through to Further Education to ensure consistency in the identification, support and review of those children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
This Graduated Approach was trialed by a core group of SENCos across early years, primary, secondary and further education. We have also developed a Parent-Carer version to explain the Graduated Approach. The parent carer version can be found here or under downloads.
You can find the full Graduated Approach document under downloads. We have also broken down the document into sections (see hyperlinks below) to make it easier to view the most relevant section for you.

Roberts Memorial United Methodist Church is the oldest black Methodist Church in Alexandria. Prior to 1830, the Black Methodist in Alexandria, Virginia was members of the white Trinity Methodist Church. By 1830, the Black Methodist established their own Church called Davis Chapel after their white Minister. After 1844, Davis Chapel Church renamed their Church to Roberts Chapel due to a split within the Methodist Church on the issue of slavery. The Church was located between two Black neighborhoods called the "Bottoms" and "Hayti."
Prior to the civil war, Roberts Chapel organized a Sabbath school and a secular school, that met at the church until Alexandria retrocedes to Virginia in 1847. After the civil war, the school reopened.
Roberts Chapel members were freed and enslaved people. This section will talk about some of their members and the impact they had on the history of Alexandria.

How long will the prairie strips work? Won't dirt pile up quickly above the prairie strip?
As water moves downslope in a field and encounters the prairie strips, there will be greater resistance to flow and the surface runoff water will slow down. When this water slows, some of the material it is carrying will be deposited. This generally occurs a few feet into the leading edge of the strip or immediately upslope of the strip.
How quickly the soil builds up is in large part dependent on upslope practices. Incorporating good conservation systems within the row-crop area can reduce sediment loading to the strips and thereby reduce sediment deposition along the leading edge of the strip.
Over time, there may be some required maintenance to regrade deposited sediment to minimize any potential for short-circuiting of water flow.

Mental health facilities play a crucial role in helping individuals with mental illnesses. However, there are often barriers that prevent patients from receiving the best possible care, including access to medications. To address this issue, mental health facilities can consider opening their own pharmacies, providing numerous benefits to patients and staff alike.
One of the most significant advantages of opening a pharmacy in a mental health facility is improved access to medication. Patients with mental illnesses often require multiple medications to manage their symptoms, and having a pharmacy on site ensures that these medications are readily available. This can also reduce the risk of medication errors or missed doses, which can have serious consequences for patients' mental health.
Additionally, having a pharmacy on site can improve communication and collaboration between doctors and pharmacists. Mental health facilities that open their own pharmacies can ensure that doctors and pharmacists work together to provide optimal care for patients. This can lead to more accurate medication management, better monitoring of side effects, and more effective treatment plans.
Opening a pharmacy in a mental health facility can also lead to cost savings. Patients who obtain their medications from the facility's pharmacy may be eligible for reduced co-pays or other financial assistance. This can help patients who are struggling financially to afford their medications, leading to better outcomes and improved quality of life.
Finally, having a pharmacy on site can help mental health facilities better manage their inventory of medications. By keeping a record of medication usage and demand, the pharmacy can ensure that there are always adequate supplies of medications on hand. This can prevent stockouts, reduce waste, and ultimately save money.
In conclusion, opening a pharmacy in a mental health facility can provide numerous benefits to patients, doctors, and staff. By improving access to medication, enhancing collaboration between doctors and pharmacists, reducing costs, and managing medication inventory more effectively, mental health facilities can better serve their patients and improve the overall quality of care.

DRAW, TEXAS. Draw is at the intersection of Farm roads 213 and 1054, seventeen miles southeast of Tahoka in southeastern Lynn County. It took its name from Mooar's Draw, a canyon to the northeast. The community had a school as early as 1904. Draw's population was reported as only twenty-five in 1933, but in 1940 its population was estimated at 100 and continued to be reported at that level through 1960. By 1970 the population had dropped to thirty-five. In 1974 Draw had a cotton gin and a store. From 1980 through 2000 its population was thirty-nine.

Consider a simple lazy random walk on an $n$-vertex undirected, connected graph: this is the Markov chain which transitions from $i$ to $j$ with probability $p_{ij}=1/(2d(i))$ where $d(i)$ is the degree of node $i$. Note that $p_{ii}=1/2$ for all $i$. Define $C(i)$ be the expected time until a walk starting from node $i$ visits every vertex and let $C = \max_i C(i)$. Let $I(k,l)$ be the expected time until two random walks, starting at vertices $k$ and $l$, intersect (i.e., until they visit the same vertex at the same time). Let $I = \max_{k,l} I(k,l)$.
My question is: can we bound $I$ in terms of $C$? Specifically, is it true that $$ \frac{I}{C} \leq k \log^l n$$ for some constants $k,l$ independent of $n$ and of the graph?
I asked this question on math.stackexchange a week ago without receiving an answer.

Interesting question. Can you elaborate on why you think the inequality should hold? And tell us how you attempted to solve the problem and why it failed? – Pascal Maillard May 23 '12 at 8:18

In Proposition 5 of Chapter 14 of the unpublished book on Markov chains by Aldous and Fill, they show that for continuous time reversible Markov chains, \[ I \le \max\{ \mathbb{E}_i T_j, i,j \in V\}, \] where $\mathbb{E}_i T_j$ is the expected time, starting from state i, until state j is visited. The preceding maximum is clearly bounded from above by $C$, so it follows that $I \le C$. This includes the case of continuous time simple random walk on a connected graph $G$, and a similar argument can be used to to establish the bound for lazy simple random walk on $G$ (in fact, the martingale argument used in the proof is originally described in Chapter 3 of the same book for the case of discrete time walks).

text: We propose a method to implement a speckle-reduced coherent three-dimensional (3D) display system by a combination of integral imaging and photorefractive volume holographic storage. The 3D real object is imaged through the microlens array and stored in the photorefractive crystal. During the reconstruction process a phase conjugate reading beam is used to minimize aberration, and a rotating diffuser located on the imaging plane of the lens array is employed to reduce the speckle noise. The speckle-reduced 3D image with a wide viewing angle can be reconstructed by use of the proposed system. Experimental results are presented and optical parameters of the proposed system are discussed in detail.

Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA)
Definition - What does Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA) mean?
A tax-sheltered annuity (TSA) is a retirement plan for non-profit organizations, such as schools, hospitals, charities, and churches. These organizations can set up a TSA program for their employees so they can save for retirement. When an employee makes a contribution, they get a tax deduction for it. This plan also delays taxes on their investment earnings until the employee retires and starts making withdrawals.
A tax-sheltered annuity is also known as a tax-deferred annuity.
Insuranceopedia explains Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA)
A tax-sheltered annuity is the non-profit version of the 401(k). Because of the way the tax code is set up, the non-profit sector had to design a separate program. In practice though, the two retirement plans are nearly identical.
A worker can only use a TSA if their employer offers one. They cannot set up a plan individually. From there, the amount they can contribute every year also depends on how the plan is set up. Some employers also offer a matching contribution to the TSA to give employees more compensation and encourage them to save more.

Why is Louisa Collins known as the Borgia of Botany?
I've received so many emails in response to the story in Good Weekend (19/10) and one question that has arisen is: why was Louisa called the Borgia of Botany?
Two reasons: first, because Louisa supposedly used poison to dispatch her husbands (once you've read the book, you'll be able to decide for yourself whether she was guilty.)
The name Louisa sounds a little like Lucrezia - and Lucrezia Borgia is a famous figure in Renaissance history: the daughter of a Pope, she is rumoured to have owned a hollow ring, which she would fill with poison to drop into the drinks of her family's enemies.
Second: because Louisa lived in Botany, of course!

Update : Should have left the Arithmetic out of this question, the new modified question is posted here : $\wedge,\cap$ and $\vee,\cup$ between Logic and Set Theory always interchangeable?
Although have not seen this anywhere stated, but so often mentally swapping the frameworks of Logic, Set Theory and Arithmetic following operation $\wedge,\cap,\times$ and $\vee,\cup,+$ are seem to be always interchangeable (Isomorphic?).
My question is are $\wedge,\cap,\times$ the same thing and just different symbols are being used depending on the framework? same question regarding $\vee,\cup,+$
PS: In arithmetic setting we get the case of $[0, \text{any number other than 0}] \equiv [false, true] $
For example De Morgan's laws for Sets and Logic just becomes the distributive and associate laws.
What about infinite cases? does this type of intuition break down between Arithmetic, Logic and Set theory?
share|improve this question
In Set Theory, $\cap$ and $\cup$ distribute over each other: $a\cap(b\cup c) = (a\cap b)\cup (a\cap c)$ and $a\cup(b\cap c) = (a\cup b)\cap (a\cup c)$. In arithmetic, $\times$ distributes over $+$, but $+$ does not distribute over $\times$; that is, $a\times(b+c) = (a\times b)+(a\times c)$, but in general, we do not have $a+(b\times c) = (a+ b)\times (a+ c)$. So even in this very basic setting, you have that $\cap$ and $\times$ have different properties relative to $\cup$ and $+$, respectively. – Arturo Magidin Feb 18 '12 at 23:11
_USER_ : That is the counter example I needed, can you please post it as an answer so I can accept it? Thank you – Arjang Feb 18 '12 at 23:23
But still $x \in A \cap B$ is the same as $(x\in A) \wedge (x \in B)$ and the same for infinite cases (but I have never seen an infinite conjunction contrary to infinite intersection). Similarly for $\cup, \vee$: $x \in \{y: \phi(y)\} \cup \{y: \psi(y)\}$ is the same as $\phi(x) \vee \psi(x)$. – savick01 Feb 18 '12 at 23:39
_USER_: Infinite conjunctions and disjunctions are sometimes seen, e.g., $\bigwedge\limits_{n\in\omega}(x\ne c_n)$. – Brian M. Scott Feb 18 '12 at 23:51
I've seen "$+$" used to denote the symmetric difference between sets, since that corresponds to mod-2 addition of indicator functions. So that's certainly not the same as "$\cup$". – Michael Hardy Feb 19 '12 at 0:05

As requested; (I think the question is a bit confused and fuzzy as it stands, but...)
In set theory, $\cap$ and $\cup$ distribute over each other: $$a\cap(b\cup c) = (a\cap b)\cup (a\cap c)\qquad\text{and}\qquad a\cup(b\cap c) = (a\cup b)\cap (a\cup c).$$
However, in arithmetic (by which I understand the Peano arithmetic or its extensions to $\mathbb{Z}$, $\mathbb{Q}$, etc), while $\times$ distributes over $+$, $+$ does not distribute over $\times$. We always have $a\times(b+c) = (a\times b)+(a\times c)$, but almost never have $a+(b\times c) = (a+b)\times(a+c)$.
So $\cap$ and $\cup$ in set theory have properties, relative to one another, that are different from the properties of $\times$ and $+$ in arithmetic.

Thank you Arturo, including arithmatic in this question was wrong, the similarity is extreeme in Logic and Set Theory – Arjang Feb 19 '12 at 0:29

"+" isn't like "$\lor$". (x+x)=(2*x). On the other hand, in classical logic, (x $\lor$ x)=x. Specifically, (1+1)=2, while (1 $\lor$ 1)=1.
It comes as more useful to compare "∧,∩, min" and "∨,∪, max". Logical and set-theoretic operations behave more like the minimum of two numbers, and the maximum of two numbers than anything else (and max and min are dual operations if we have (1-x) as the complement of x).

agreed, it was a mistake to include arithmatic the new question is posted here : math.stackexchange.com/questions/110760/… – Arjang Feb 19 '12 at 0:27
Not "more than anything else". They're just all lattice operations, and there are plenty of other examples. Also, $+$ is a bit like $\vee.$ There are differences, but there are similarities too. – user23211 Apr 3 '12 at 23:59
_USER_ A lattice L can get defined as a partially ordered set where for all x, for all y in L, sup{x, y} exists and inf{x, y} exists. Do you deny that max is closer to sup than anything else, and that min is closer to inf than anything else? – Doug Spoonwood May 23 '13 at 20:36

Sixth Form students at St Benedict's have this week been awarded for their work in two different Chemistry Competitions.
Firstly, Leah Dunn, Keira Morgan and Mary Kirsten Soriano (all year 12) were the winning team for our school in the Royal Society of Chemistry Schools' Analyst Competition.
All AS Chemistry students took part in this year's competition which was to help with the transformation of a family owned fish and chip restaurant. They wanted to change suppliers for some of their ingredients to those closer to the shop to reduce their carbon footprint and to support local businesses. They need to make sure that the quality of the food didn't suffer.
In order to do this students were required to analyse the local flour, potatoes and vinegar for qualities associated with truly excellent fish and chips. Students were required to complete 4 – 6 hours of lab time which allowed students to demonstrate and expand on their existing chemistry knowledge and skills.
The team will now be entered into a second round against other winning teams from the regiona for the chance to be crowned champions!
Also awarded this week, was Ava Leadbetter from Year 12, who received a Copper award for her work in the Cambridge Chemistry Challenge.
This competition aims to stretch and challenge students interested in chemistry, and provides an excellent experience for anyone considering taking their studies further. Set by an experienced team of teachers and university chemists, it is designed to be accessible to Year 12 students but will take them significantly beyond the syllabus and encourage them to think about science in the way they would at university. Past papers will provide a valuable resource for teachers.
This competition was open to students studying in the UK in Year 12 or below. It took the form of a 90 minute written paper which students took in school.

Introduction: Frame-based stereotactic biopsy is well-established to play an essential role in neurosurgery. In recent years, different robotic devices have been introduced in neurosurgery centers. This study aimed to compare the SINO surgical robot-assisted frameless brain biopsy with standard frame-based stereotactic biopsy in terms of efficacy, accuracy and complications.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 151 consecutive patients who underwent stereotactic biopsy at Chongqing Sanbo Jiangling Hospital between August 2017 and December 2021. All patients were divided into the frame-based group (n = 47) and the SINO surgical robot-assisted group (n = 104). The data collected included clinical characteristics, diagnostic yield, operation times, accuracy, and postoperative complications.
Results: There was no significant difference in diagnostic yield between the frame-based group and the SINO surgical robot-assisted group (95.74 vs. 98.08%, p > 0.05). The mean operation time in the SINO surgical robot-assisted group was significantly shorter than in the frame-based group (29.36 ± 13.64 vs. 50.57 ± 41.08 min). The entry point error in the frame-based group was significantly higher than in the robot-assisted group [1.33 ± 0.40 mm (0.47-2.30) vs. 0.92 ± 0.27 mm (0.35-1.65), P < 0.001]. The target point error in the frame-based group was also significantly higher than in the robot-assisted group [1.63 ± 0.41 mm (0.74-2.65) vs. 1.10 ± 0.30 mm (0.69-2.03), P < 0.001]. Finally, there was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the two groups.
Conclusion: Robot-assisted brain biopsy becomes an increasingly mainstream tool in the neurosurgical procedure. The SINO surgical robot-assisted platform is as efficient, accurate and safe as standard frame-based stereotactic biopsy and provides a reasonable alternative to stereotactic biopsy in neurosurgery.
Keywords: SINO robot; brain biopsy; frameless stereotactic biopsy; intracranial lesions; robot-assisted surgery.

Study of the flow around cofferdams constructed in running water through computational model
ABSTRACT River closure to provide a dry area for the construction of the works in the river bed must be carefully performed because a failure can lead to serious and costly delays. By means of a computational approach, using the FLOW 3D® software, this paper studies the hydraulic behavior of the flow around a cofferdam constructed in running water. The computational model was validated using results of an experimental investigation. Then the effect of changing the cofferdam configuration on the flow characteristics in this region was analyzed. This study showed that the computational model adequately reproduces this type of flow and that changing the configuration of the cofferdam: increasing the width of the crest or decreasing the embankment slope affects the flow curvature and positively affects the river closure process.

The Grizzlies: Miranda de Pencier and Anna Lambe on the importance of shining a light on traumas in Nunavut
About 10 years ago, film producer Miranda de Pencier heard a story about a high school in Nunavut that floored her. The school started a lacrosse program to help students find hope during a time when teen suicide was on the rise in Inuit communities. Right away, she knew what her next film would be.
Nearly a decade later, and after hundreds of auditions and countless conversations about Canada's struggle through reconciliation, that film was finally made.
The Grizzlies tells the story of teacher Russ Sheppard and the students at the Kugluktuk high school who helped the community find hope.
Ahead of the release of the film, de Pencier and one of the stars of the film, Anna Lambe, sat down with host Tom Power in the q studio to talk about about their experience making the film and what it means to the Inuit community.
The Grizzlies opens in select theatres on Friday, April 19 and it'll have a wider release on Friday, May 3.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of different room temperatures on hydrophobic heat and moisture exchangers (HME) humidifying capability and efficiency.
Methods: Stock HMEs were tested in vitro using an already described test model, with separation of inspiratory and expiratory gas. Absolute humidity (AH) was measured by means of dry-wet dual thermocouple, and HME efficiency was computed as the ratio between expired to inspired AH, at room temperature of 20 and 26 degrees C.
Results: Inspired gas temperature and AH were significantly higher at 26 than at 20 degrees C; since expired AH remained substantially unchanged, HME efficiency was also higher in warmer environment.
Conclusions: Hydrophobic HMEs appear to be affected by room temperature, increasing their humidifying ability and their efficiency with its rise.

Social protection and cash transfers to strengthen families affected by HIV and AIDS
Social protection in the form of cash transfers is receiving increasing recognition as an important part of a comprehensive AIDS response. The urgency of cash assistance for food purchases is underscored by emerging evidence on the interactions between nutrition and AIDS disease progression.
This monograph examines how social protection can be used to protect children and families affected by HIV and AIDS. It reviews evidence on the impacts of 10 unconditional cash transfer (UCT) programmes in southern and East Africa and 10 conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs in Latin America.
It also reviews key policy debates relevant to programme design, as well as debates around conditionality. The authors also consider the relative strengths and weaknesses of food transfers and nutrition programmes, public works, and microcredit and livelihoods programmes, and social services.

Are you eager to witness the rapid growth of your guppy fry? If so, learning how to raise guppy fry fast is key to ensuring their healthy development. These tiny, colorful fish can grow quickly under the right conditions, and with proper care, you can witness their transformation from tiny fry to vibrant adults in no time. In this guide, we will explore the essential steps and techniques to maximize the growth rate of your guppy fry. From creating an optimal environment to providing nutritious food, we will delve into the strategies that will help you achieve your goal of raising guppy fry fast. So, let's dive in and discover how to raise guppy fry fast, step by step.
On How to Raise Guppy Fry Fast
If you want to raise guppy fry quickly and ensure their healthy growth, here are some tips:
- Separation: As soon as the guppy fry are born, it's important to separate them from the adult fish. Guppy fry are susceptible to being eaten by larger fish, including their own parents. Move them to a separate tank or breeding box to provide a safe environment for their growth.
- Proper tank setup: Set up a suitable tank for the guppy fry. Use a small tank or breeding box with a sponge filter or air-driven filter to maintain water quality without creating strong currents that could harm the fry. Ensure the water temperature is around 75-80°F (24-27°C) and provide hiding spots such as dense vegetation or artificial structures.
- Feeding: Feed them a high-quality diet formulated specifically for fry. You can use commercially available fry food, finely crushed flakes, or infusoria. Feed small amounts multiple times a day to ensure they have enough food without causing water quality issues.
- Water quality: Maintaining good water quality is crucial for the health and growth of guppy fry. Perform regular water changes of around 20% every few days to keep the water clean and stable. Optionally use a water conditioner to remove chlorine and other harmful substances from tap water.
- Gradual introduction of solid food: As the fry grow, you can gradually introduce finely crushed flakes, baby brine shrimp, or microworms to their diet. These foods provide additional nutrition and help in their development. Monitor their behavior and adjust the feeding routine accordingly.
- Growth-friendly environment: Ensure the tank is well-maintained and free from any potential stressors. Avoid sudden temperature fluctuations, excessive noise, and bright lights that could cause stress. Provide a stable and comfortable environment to promote healthy growth.
Remember, each fish's growth rate can vary, and patience is key. With proper care, feeding, and a suitable environment, you can help your guppy fry grow quickly and thrive.
When considering how to raise guppy fry fast, it's important to provide them with a nutritious and appropriate diet to support their growth and development. Here are some good food options for guppy fry:
- Powdered or liquid fry food: Commercially available powdered or liquid fry food specifically formulated for young fish is an excellent choice. These foods often contain a balanced blend of essential nutrients, proteins, vitamins, and minerals necessary for fry growth. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for feeding quantities and frequency.
- Finely crushed flakes: You can crush high-quality flakes into fine particles to make them more manageable for the fry. Ensure the flakes are fresh and free from additives or preservatives. Look for flakes that are specifically designed for fry or small fish.
- Newly hatched brine shrimp: Baby brine shrimp (artemia) are a highly nutritious food source for guppy fry. You can hatch brine shrimp eggs at home using a brine shrimp hatchery or purchase pre-hatched brine shrimp from aquarium stores. Feed the newly hatched brine shrimp to the fry, as they are small enough to be easily consumed.
- Micro worms: Microworms are another popular live food option for guppy fry. These tiny nematodes can be cultured at home or purchased from specialty stores. Microworms provide a good source of nutrition for the fry.
- Infusoria: Infusoria refers to a mixture of microscopic organisms such as protozoa, rotifers, and microalgae. You can culture infusoria at home, and it can serve as a suitable first food for newly hatched fry, as they are small and easily consumed.
- Commercial fry foods: Some commercial fish foods are specifically formulated for guppy fry and other small fish species. These foods often come in the form of powders or finely ground pellets, providing a balanced diet for the growing fry. Look for reputable brands and check the ingredients to ensure they contain high-quality nutrients.
When feeding guppy fry, remember to offer small amounts of food multiple times a day, as they have small stomachs and need frequent feeding. Observe their behavior and adjust the feeding routine accordingly to avoid overfeeding or wasting excess food, which can lead to water quality issues.
Variety is key when it comes to feeding guppy fry, as it helps provide a range of nutrients and encourages a well-rounded diet. Incorporating a mix of the above-mentioned food options will help ensure the fry receive the necessary nutrition for healthy growth and development.
In conclusion, raising guppy fry fast requires careful attention to their environment, nutrition, and overall well-being. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can create an ideal setting for their growth and development. Remember to provide a safe and separate space for the fry, maintain optimal water conditions, and offer a balanced diet. Regular monitoring and maintaining a suitable stocking density are also important factors in promoting rapid growth. While patience is required, with consistent care and attention, you can help your guppy fry thrive and reach adulthood in a relatively short time. Enjoy the rewarding experience of witnessing their transformation and the vibrant colors they will display as they mature.
Happy guppy fry raising!

Definition of faster (Physics Z 2.232a23-7)
Since every magnitude is divisible into magnitudes (for it was proved that it is impossible for a continuous magnitude to be from indivisible ones, but every magnitude is continuoous), then it is necessary that (a) the faster traverse a greater distance in the equal time and (b) an equal distance in the lesser time and (c) more distance in the lesser time, just as some define the faster.

(figure 1: moving) or (figure 2: still)
For let A be faster than B. Then
since that which changes first is faster, in the time in which A has changed
from to, e.g. ZH, B will not yet be at, but it will fall short, so that
in the equal time the faster will traverse more in an equal time.
Argument for c (Physics Z 2.232a31-b5):
1) In fact, it will also move more in less time. For in the
time in which A has come to be at, let
B be at E, since it is the slower. (figure
2) Accordingly since A has come to be at in
the whole time ZH, it will be at in
a smaller time than this. (figure
3) And let it be in time ZK. And so, which A has traversed is
larger than E, and time ZK
is smaller than the whole time ZH, so that it will traverse a
larger amount in a smaller time.
Argument 1 for b (Physics Z 2.232b5-14):
1) It is also obvious from these that the faster traverses
an equal amount in a smaller time. For since it traverses a greater
in less time than the slower, while taken by itself it will traverse
more than the lesser amount in more time, e.g. M larger
than, the
time P in which it traverses
M would be more than, the
time in which it traverses. (figure
2) Thus if the time P is
smaller than X, the time in which the slower traverses, and will be smaller than X,
since it is smaller than P, as
that which is smaller than a smaller is itself smaller. Thus it
will move the equal amount in less time.
Argument 2 for b (Physics Z 2.232b14-29):
Furthermore, if everything must move in equal or less or in more time, then that which moves in more is slower, that in equal equally fast, while the faster is neither equally fast nor slower, the faster neither move in equal nor in more time. And so, it remains that it moves in less time, so that it is also necessary that the faster traverse an equal magnitude in less time.

Exhibit: Walls that Speak: The Murals of Colorado
The exhibition, featuring murals from Denver Public Library's Western History Collection, will illustrate how Colorado's murals and muralists tell the state's history in a vibrant and compelling way. The murals displayed in Walls that Speak span the City Beautiful movement, the development of the Broadmoor Art Academy and subsequent Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, the Works Progress Administration era, the Chicano movement, and contemporary muralists.
The exhibition was made possible by collaboration between the Denver Public Library, curators Deborah Wadsworth and Megan Kemper, and book authors Georgia Garnsey and Mary Motian-Meadows. Other contributing institutions are the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art, Denver, the Bailey Library and Archives of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and individual collectors.

Fly masks paired with an insect repellant, can greatly reduce the amount of stress faced by your horse during fly season. An alternative to traditional insect repellants, we also carry feed throughs which when ingested can help ward off pesky insects without the use of sprays.
Dr. Timothy Gibb, Clinical Professor of Entomology at Purdue Agricultural University in Indiana, explained: "Fly masks are used to relieve the stress that a horse deals with when continually fighting flies – primarily the face fly. Face flies are persistent and annoying while they feed around the eyes and nose of horses. They are capable of transmitting eye-worm to horses but this is not common. The mask simply acts as a physical barrier between the horse and the flies."

This paper demonstrates a phase tunable holographic fabrication of three-dimensional photonic lattice structures using a single optical element. A top-cut four-side prism is employed to generate five-beam three-dimensional interference patterns. A silica glass slide is inserted into the optical path to adjust the phase of one interfering beam relative to other four beams. The phase control of the interfering laser beam renders the lattice of the interference pattern from a face-center tetragonal symmetry into a high contrast, interconnecting diamondlike symmetry. This method provides a flexible approach to fabricating three-dimensional photonic lattices with improved photonic band structures.

Java Question
Google-app-engine datastore multi-dimensional arrays
I have a class that runs as a cron job (every 5 minutes or so) and it produces a multidimensional array. I then want to access this array from another class.
Is it possible to just put() a whole md-array as a single object into the datastore? And then to get() that md-array in another class?
If so, is it similar to just putting other simple variables into the datastore?
Cheers for any help
Answer
No, you cannot directly store a multi-dimensional array as a property of a datastore entity. The closest type would be a ListProperty, but this will only store one dimension. (Python only, not for Java)
Depending on what the data in your md-array represents, you could:
 - Serialize the values into a byte array, which you store as a Blob (1 MB size limit)
 - Flatten the array and store each dimension as an individual property
 - Create an entity for the rows, and properties for the columns (if 2-dimensional)
For all supported datastore property types, see this section of the GAE documentation

Roma Tomato Seeds - ($7.15)
Cultiv8 Flexible Propagation Heat Mat [Medium] - ($46.00)
Jiffy Propagation Peat Pellets [36mm x 36 Pellets] - ($12.80)
Mondi Propagation Kit - 3 Pieces with Dome, Tray and Lattice [28 x 55cm] - ($18.90)
The Jiffy Pellet Greenhouse is a propagation kit which includes a Greenhouse and 36 x 36mm Jiffy Peat Pellets. It is a complete propagation solution. The plastic greenhouse provides warmth and humidity to cuttings and seedlings for rapid growth. For winter growing a heat pad can be added to control temperature.
Jiffy Peat Pellets are made from compressed peat, wood pulp and coir pitch. The pellets expand with water and are an ideal growing medium for seeds. The pellet acts as the pot and the soil at the same time. Once the seed has germinated and the seedling is large enough to handle, the pellet can then be planted whole. Jiffy Peat Pellets help to prevent transfer shock as the plants roots are not disturned.
How To Use The Jiffy Pellet Greenhouse:
- Remove the greenhouse lid and pour warm water into the greenhouse tray until the peat pellets are covered.
- The pellets will absorb the water and start to expand after some time. Keep adding water until the pellets have expanded completely.
- Plant your seeds into each pellet.
- Put the cover on the greenhouse and keep it covered until your seeds start to germinate.
- When your seedlings grow big enough, transplant them with the pellet and all.

Alix Gerber is the Louis D. Beaumont Visiting Assistant Professor in the Sam Fox School. After working as a user-centered researcher and studying transdisciplinary design at Parsons in New York City, Gerber has been experimenting with a practice of Participatory Speculation through the development of a course called Radical Design, as well as the Futures of Public Safety project. Participatory Speculation is a critical and collaborative design practice based in a strong belief in the value of every person's experiences and perspectives. Rather than solving problems—as we often expect from design strategy—it strives to question the systems and ideologies around us by imagining many different futures, each based in a different world view. Projects involve creating artifacts from these potential futures that provoke in-depth dialogue about what we want here and now.
Work by students in Gerber's Radical Design course, as well as the exhibit Futures of Public Safety, featuring work inspired by the future visions of St. Louis residents, will be on view November 13-15 in Steinberg Hall Gallery.

1) It is known that inside a metallic hollow sphere it will not experience outside electric field because of the charge separation of electrons and holes at the surface of sphere and creating an equal and opposite field. So it is better to stay inside the car during lightning.
Why should you stay in the car during thunderstorms?
But isn't there a maximum value of electric field the metallic surface can resist because at some point (higher value) of electric field the movement of electrons will get stopped because it can't generate more electron holes pairs and which will limit the further change in increment of electric field to zero. Since lighting produce such a high value of electric field is it safe to stay inside a car during lightning? assuming no heat generated during lightning
2) Similar case about charge inside a earthed metallic hollow sphere. If I keep some charge inside the metallic hollow sphere, outside field is zero and inside field is dependent upon the charge. If I increase the charge inside the metallic hollow sphere to such a level which is more than the total electron charge on the surface of sphere then the earthing has no effect because it has already neutralized the maximum amount of holes (+ve) by accepting the electrons from earth. So the field will escape outside.

Michaela deputy has controversial start at his new school
Barry Smith
Barry Smith, deputy headteacher at Michaela Academy for three years has had a rough start in his new job as principal of the former Great Yarmouth High School, now relaunched by Inspiration Trust as Great Yarmouth Chartered Academy.
Smith has hit local and national headlines as a result of importing Michaela methods into a school with its own ethos and history, rather than a brand new free school as Michaela was.
Parents admit that things were not perfect at GYHS but some are objecting strongly to the school rules and disciplinary methods as well as the tone of Smith's communications, written and verbal, with parents.
Parents have set up a Facebook page 'Yarmouth High Worried Parents' which currently has more than 1,000 members. A fascinating exchange of views is taking place on the page which cover the specific rules and their implementation but go wider to look at the rights of children and parents. At present pupils are also making contributions on the page and opinions vary with some welcoming the 'calm' that the rules bring and others finding themselves at the receiving end of the demerits. Similarly some parents are keen to challenge, if not the rules, the way they are being implemented. Parents with children with special needs are concerned about whether their child will be able to follow rules such as 'tracking the teacher' where every child has to have his or her eyes on the teacher throughout the lesson. Children on the autistic spectrum often have a problem with making and maintaining eye contact.
The local authority has set up and investigation into the school's exclusion policy which had not been updated to reflect recent DfE guidelines LINK
Tomorrow parents are to meet with Mr Smith. It should be interesting.
Anonymous said...
Does "tracking the teacher" apply to practical lessons like chemistry? I can foresee "health and safety" problems if it does!!!
Anonymous said...
'Parents are to meet with Mr Smith.'
According to the BBC East news website, a spokesman for the Inspiration Trust said: "The academy will be holding a meeting for all parents in the coming days so they can hear first-hand what Great Yarmouth Charter Academy is really all about."
They don't just bully the pupils, they try to brain-wash their parents as well! Will they succeed?
The BBC report includes this from a parent about Barry Smith:
'Seeing a parent and child crying outside the school, Mr Seal told the BBC he politely asked the head: "'Excuse me, why are you doing this to children?' His reply was 'If you don't like it, get out.'"

I saw a report a while ago that Michaela got an 'outstanding' from Ofsted. I assumed that this was inevitable as it's a 'free' school and Birbalthingy was Gove and the Tories' darling. Apart from the crap nature of Ofsted inspections, Ofsted people would know that an 'outstanding' was what was expected of them and to deny the Birb one would be like failing to clap and burst into tears of joy when Kim Jong-Un walks into the room.
I certainly hope I'm right. I'd hate to have to question my prejudices. Can anyone enlighten me?

Education Secretary John Swinney says the Scottish Government are considering a'staggered' approach to allowing students to return home for Christmas.
It comes as students from Edinburgh University held a protest yesterday over the'mistreatment' they have faced over being forced to self-isolate in halls and given "false promises of hybrid learning."
John Swinney said that the Scottish Government is "learning lessons" from the Covid outbreaks sparked by the return of students and that will help them decide how they return at Christmas.
The Education Secretary is now holding talks with other UK nations to discuss what approach they can take to stop another sudden spike in Covid-19 cases.
The Education Secretary with Nicola Sturgeon
Speaking on the issue, he told the BBC's Politics Scotland programme: "Some of the points that we're looking at are around staggered returns of students so that they don't all come back in one go, that we look at arrangements for how testing can be part of the architecture of how we handle that return.
"What we expect of students when they are returning home and when they're coming back into universities and how they will spend their time, how their learning will be undertaken - these are all issues that are being explored."
The Scottish Government is now considering a system of mass testing which would be supported by a staggered return of students to stop the testing system getting overwhelmed.
He added: "These are some of the options that are being looked at and obviously... the practicalities of that are changed and eased if the return of students is staggered over a longer period."

To create a collapsible set in jQuery Mobile, follow these steps:
 1. Start by creating a basic HTML structure for the collapsible set. It should include a main container with one or more collapsible sections inside it. Each section should have a header and content.
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10

Section 1

Content of section 1 goes here

Section 2

Content of section 2 goes here

 1. Add the jQuery Mobile library to your project. You can do this by downloading it from the jQuery Mobile website or by using a CDN.
 2. Initialize the collapsible set using the .collapsible() method provided by jQuery Mobile. This will add the necessary styles and behavior to your HTML.
1
2
3
$(document).ready(function(){
 $('[data-role="collapsible-set"]').collapsible();
});
 1. Optionally, you can add additional configuration options to the .collapsible() method to customize the behavior of your collapsible set. For example, you can set the default state of each section to open or closed using the collapsed option.
1
2
3
4
5
$(document).ready(function(){
 $('[data-role="collapsible-set"]').collapsible({
 collapsed: true // all sections start closed
 });
});
That's it! Your collapsible set should now be fully functional. When a user clicks on a section header, the content of that section will expand and collapse.

The Magic String Game #4 (Schnurspiel mit sechs W
Object: Remove the metal piece from the string
Difficulty: Level 8 - Demanding
Brand: Logika Spiele
Warning! The instructions are in German.
Colors may vary.
These games are thinkingand cleverness-games out of recycled-plastic. A magic string game consists of a string and several stones. These stones have holes of different dimensions. There are 3 different string games: with one cube and 2 rectangular solids, with 2 cubes and 1 rectangular solid and with 6 cubes and one rectangular solid.
The origin of these games was found in the distant Africa. Modifications of these were also found in Guinea and China and they are also used for the conversation today. The object of the magic string games is to transport the stones from one string to another, or to take away the string completely from the stones.
