Select Box
Grouped Items
Data items in the SelectBox's drop-down list can be organized in groups.
If the data source contains ungrouped data items, use the DataSource's group property to specify the data field to group by. This case is illustrated in this demo's first and third SelectBoxes.
The SelectBox can also work with initially grouped data items. In this case, the data array should contain objects with the key and items fields:
let dataSource = [{
 key: "Group 1", // Group caption
 items: [ // Items in Group 1
 { /* ... */ },
 { /* ... */ }
 ]
}, {
 key: "Group 2",
 items: [
 { /* ... */ },
 { /* ... */ }
 ]
}];
If data objects are grouped but use other field names, implement the DataSource's map function to create key and items field mappings as in this demo's second SelectBox.
NOTE
Only one-level grouping is supported.
Regardless of the data source structure, enable the grouped property.
If the data source contains objects, specify the following SelectBox properties:
 - valueExpr
 A data field that contains unique values used to identify items.
 - displayExpr
 A data field whose values should be displayed in the drop-down list.
If you need to specify a custom template for group captions, use the groupTemplate property. In this demo, each caption contains an icon and a text string.

Layer and trigger issues
I have a layer (intro layer) with 3 characters with a trigger for each that sends them to separate layers (i.e. character 1 layer, character 2 layer, etc). Each character layer then sends them back to the intro layer when the layer timeline ends. After all 3 characters have been clicked and the character layers viewed I want a trigger to send it to intro layer2. The character layers can also be viewed in any order. How can I do this?

Hi Jennifer,
First, when you say "Intro Layer" are you referring to the base layer - the slide itself?
To achieve this you would probably take advantage of a few variables. If you're not comfortable with variables, don't worry...they're not that bad.
Here's one way to set it up. In order to indicate a user has visited each of the characters you may want to add some sort of visual cue.
 1. Add something like a 'checkmark' to the Visited State of each Character.
 2. Set the base slide properties to "Resume Saved State."
 3. On each of the character layers, set a trigger to Hide This Layer when timeline ends. This will go back to base slide.
 4. Since the user clicked a character it is now in a visited state. So when step #3 completes and hides that layer, the added checkmark to that character should now be visible - Visited.
To jump to your second intro layer, you can add a fourth layer to this slide or jump to a new slide altogether.
 1. Set a Slide Trigger on base slide that Jumps To Slide # - or - Show Layer [fourth layer] > when > character1 AND character2 AND character3 are in a Visited state.
Caution here on that last trigger because it will auto jump to that fourth layer or slide 'before' seeing that final character's Visited state - checkmark. You might want to consider adding a button to the base slide set to Hidden initially. Then change the state of that button when all three character's Visited states are present. Then add a trigger to that button that shows the fourth layer or jumps to the next slide.
Good luck and hope this helps!
Jennifer Jefts
Hi Kevin,
The "intro layer" is not the base layer. I have base layer that I don't want involved in this interaction - it is a created lightbox interaction. i haven't had a chance to try your scenario, but it will it work since the intro layer is not the base layer?

Wallpapered dumpsters are starting to pop up all over the place including New York City, Los Angeles and even Rome. Artist Christine Finley is the culprit of these decorative dumpsters which she considers to be â€œpolite graffiti.â€
The made-over dumpsters actually provide a nice little element of decor for the streets and look much nicer than plain, garbage-green dumpsters.
Implications - The idea of painting the dumpsters is not only a way to express creativity, but also a way to express environmental activism. Many people don't pay attention to garbage dumpsters, but when they feature bright colors and printed designs, they are bound to get noticed. Christine Finley's idea is definitely an awesome one.
Wallpapered Dumpsters Considered "Polite Graffiti"
1. Decorative Dumpsters - The trend of wallpapered dumpsters adds a creative and visually appealing element to the streetscape.
2. Polite Graffiti - Transforming dumpsters into works of art provides a respectful and engaging form of graffiti.
3. Environmental Activism - Decorating dumpsters with bright colors and designs raises awareness about waste management and environmental issues.
1. Art and Design - Artists and designers have an opportunity to collaborate with urban communities to create visually appealing and environmentally conscious public art installations.
2. Waste Management - The waste management industry can explore partnerships with artists and community organizations to turn dumpsters into attractive and functional assets in urban areas.
3. Urban Revitalization - Municipalities and urban planners can leverage decorative dumpsters as a part of placemaking strategies to enhance the aesthetics and character of neighborhoods.

We have a number 'Alert' scenarios where we want to send out user alerts, and also retain the body of a message (or part thereof) for resubmission, to replay the orchestration once appropriate remedial action has been taken. I thought we could be clever, and define an envelope schema that would contain details of the alert, in human-readable form, together with an element that could contain the message, for resubmission. By defining the parent of this element as the BodyXPath of the envelope, the alert message itself could be resubmitted, at which point the inner message would be stripped out and re-processed.

It was the first time I'd used the Mass Copy functoid, and was annoyed to find that it copies the children and attributes of the node selected, rather than the node itself - meaning that you lose the root node name if it isn't already in the output schema. The xsl generated is thus:
(where the element is the parent of the , and our body xpath node.)
This didn't work for us, as we needed the name of the root element copied over, so I replaced the Mass Copy functoid with a Scripting functoid, selected Inline XSLT as the script type, and used the following:
I'm surprised that there isn't a property of the Mass Copy functoid that allows you to do this, as it seems relatively obvious (and easy to implement). Has anyone else had to do this?

Study : Populus x canadensis Raw sequence reads
Populus x canadensis Raw sequence reads
Dependent on vascular cambium activity, woody plants keep perennial growth and survive for many years. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism involved in the formation of vascular cambium, which is developed from fascicular and interfascicular cambium in woody plants. In this study, we analyzed the vascular cambium formation process in Populus and found that suppression of PtrHB4 function defected vascular cambium formation due to failure of interfascicular cambium development.

Indian Spring Hotel/Museum
Open for tours on weekends from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The Indian Spring Hotel was built in 1823 as an Inn by Chief William McIntosh and his cousin, Joel Bailey, who also operated it. In 1825, a two-story addition was built. The addition included the Tavern known as the Treaty Room and a large ballroom above it.
The hotel is unique and extremely significant to the history of the State of Georgia. It is the only known ante-bellum mineral springs hotel in Georgia still standing. It's history yields much data on the culture, society, and architecture of Georgia throughout the 19th century. The Federal style architecture, hand-planed wide boards, wooden pegs, and handmade bricks clearly indicate an early 19th century construction date. The foundation was made of native stone. The alcove in the wall, where the treaty was signed remains intact.
Indians had been coming to the Spring for many decades prior to 1800. They believed in the medical qualities of the water. No permanent structures were built near the waters due to the fear that crying children and talking women would scare the "healing spirits" away from the waters. However, William McIntosh built a cabin here in 1800.

I wonder how is this possible in groovy to start an array from the n element.
Look at the snippet :
static void main(args){
 if (args.length < 2){
 println "Not enough parameters"
 def tools = new BoTools(args[0])
 def action = args[1]
As you see am doing here a dynamic method invocation. The first 2 arguments are taken as some config and method name, the others I would like to use as method paramerts. So how can I do something like this :
Edited : If not possilbe in native groovy Java syntax will do it :
def newArgs = Arrays.copyOfRange(args,2,args.length);

Installation photograph of 'The Architects Who Made London' display 2008. Photograph by Richard Bryant/ arcaid.co.uk
Against a backdrop of contextual photographs of London by Richard Bryant, this display looks at six architects from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century who have had a significant impact on the London we see today. Drawings, plans and photographs of their major London buildings, illustrate the impact of architects including Norman Shaw, Lutyens and Lubetkin on the capital.
Through their buildings and urban visions, their ideas influenced the physical and social structure of the city. In contrast to previous generations of architects, they faced often outwardly incompatible tasks, such as creating an identity for railway suburbs on the city's expanding fringe, giving a semblance of unity to the ceremonial approach to Buckingham Palace, or developing an architectural idiom for social housing.

Chief Lippert Fire Station facts for kids
Quick facts for kids
Chief Lippert Fire Station
|Lua error in Module:Location_map at line 420: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).|
|Location||642 W. North Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin|
|Area||less than one acre|
|NRHP reference No.||88002007|
|Added to NRHP||January 1, 1989|
The Chief Lippert Fire Station, also known as Chemical Engine House No. 1, is a historic fire station built in 1876, two miles north of Milwaukee's central business district. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
Milwaukee's fire department began in 1837 as a small volunteer fire company. Its equipment consisted of buckets, axes and some ladders, all kept in a shed in the central business district. In 1839 the company acquired its first "fire engine," which amounted to a hand-operated pump mounted on a wagon pulled to fires by men on foot. They named that first engine Neptune.
In 1845 the company bought a larger hand-pump with 300 feet of hose. Over the years the city's fire-fighting system continued to develop, dividing the city into fire districts in the 1850s, buying larger pumps which could reach the upper floors of five story buildings in the 1860s and adding horses to pull those pumps, and shifting from volunteer fire fighters to paid firemen starting in the 1860s. In 1869, a system of fire alarm boxes was installed throughout the city, connected by sixty miles of telegraph lines. The first full-time paid firemen came in 1874, while Henry Lippert was fire chief. Lippert was an immigrant from Weimar, Germany who had worked his way up through the volunteer fire department.
In 1876 the city built Chemical Engine House No. 1, which would be named the Chief Lippert Station, in a growing new neighborhood north of the downtown. The neighborhood consisted largely of tightly-packed houses built of wood, so a fire station was needed, but municipal water lines had not yet reached the neighborhood. Homes were fed by private wells which were inadequate to supply a water pumper, so instead, the new station was built to house a "chemical fire engine," which could douse a fire with chemicals similar to a modern fire extinguisher.
The 1876 building was a two-story, cream brick building with a hip roof. It was designed by Milwaukee architect Thomas N. Philpot in Italianate style, with broad wooden eaves and a pedimented gable at the front. The decorative brickwork suggests pilasters, and the windows have round-arched tops. The wooden corner tower was probably added around 1883, originally seven stories tall, a watch tower from which firemen could look out over the surrounding city for smoke.
By 1883, water mains had reached throughout the neighborhood, so the chemical engine was no longer needed. It was replaced at the Lippert Station with a steam-powered fire engine pulled by horses. In 1908 a two-story cream brick block was added at the rear of the building to house horses and a hayloft. It was designed by Sebastian Brand, a fire fighter in the Milwaukee department who had immigrated from Germany.
Motorized trucks entered the Milwaukee fire department in 1915, but didn't replace the horses at the Lippert station until 1927. In the 1930s the seven-story watch-tower was no longer needed, given the ability of people to call in fires on telephones, and most of the 50-year-old wooden tower was torn off, reducing it to the three stories that remain today.
In 1948 the Lippert station was no longer needed as a fire station. The building served as a branch library starting in 1951. Starting in 1972 it housed offices of the Model Cities Program. In 1977 it became the headquarters of the Inner City Arts Council, which painted the mural on the building's west side in 1984.
Today the Chief Lippert station is Milwaukee's oldest well-preserved fire station, one of the first carefully designed as a fire station with living quarters for the crew, rather than a simple shed to house equipment. It is also the only remaining Italianate public building from an era when Milwaukee's city hall was Italianate, along with other firehouses and schools.

A Political Chronology of the World
Routledge – 2010 – 996 pages
A Political Chronology of the World is a major new publication which gives an impartial record of the political, geographical and economic events that have helped to shape world history.
Although the book includes greater coverage of more recent events—particularly in countries with a recent history of political upheaval—it also provides invaluable detail on the early history of each nation. Each chronology begins at least as early as the emergence of an entity resembling the modern nation, and in many cases considerably earlier.
In addition to coverage of purely political events, the title also includes details of the principal economic, cultural and social landmarks in the history of each nation. Examples might include the adoption of new languages, alphabets, calendars or religions. This volume aims to be the first point of reference for concise information on the history of each nation in the world.
Organized with a chapter for each country in the world, contents include:

Trading The Butterfly Pattern
The Butterfly pattern, discovered by Bryce Gilmore, is a reversal chart pattern that consists of four distinct swings in the market.
The rules to identify the Butterfly trading pattern are strict and requires the use of certain Fibonacci ratios that were made public by Scott Carney.
If you use ratios from Fibonacci to identify certain patterns, you are essentially trading a harmonic pattern which the Butterfly pattern is considered as.
In this article, you are going to learn a Butterfly Pattern trading strategy that includes:
 1. How to identify the Butterfly pattern using the required Fibonacci retracement and extension ratios
 2. How to calculate your stop loss level
 3. Where to set your profit target
These types of patterns, harmonic patterns, are not for everyone.
You must buy into Fibonacci as a means of trading and believe there is an edge in doing so.
That said, one important aspect of the Butterfly trading pattern is an A-B=C-D formation and that is something I personally use as a rule of thumb for profit targets and potential turning points. It does not have to be an exact match
How To Identify A Butterfly Harmonic Pattern
The Butterfly pattern is similar to the Gartely as both form a warped "W" or "M" shape. The difference is the Gartley is considered a completed pattern when a Fibonacci retracement ratio and an extension level coincide
The Butterfly is considered to be complete when two Fibonacci extensions coincide.
For the Butterfly pattern to be found, we need four points in the market: X, A, B, C and D, which is considered a Potential Reversal Zone and not a point.
It is this location you would look for a trade position.
Each swing has a relationship to another which are specific Fibonacci numbers and are needed to validate the swings:
 - AB leg should equal 78.6% retracement of the XA leg
 - BC leg should be between 38.2 and 88.6% retrace of the A-B leg
 - C-D swing is 168 to 261.8% extension of A-B swing
 - The most important number in this pattern is the 127% extension of the XA leg
 - Both bullish butterfly patterns and bearish patterns use the same ratios
bearish butterfly trading pattern
This is an example of a Bearish Butterfly Pattern where we would want to short a reversal. The red star is the Potential Reversal Zone and you would look to position in the trade in that zone.
Because the reversal zone can be known ahead of time (1.27% extension of X-A / 1.68-2.618% ext of A-B), you can set an alert for when price enters this zone.
How To Trade The Butterfly Pattern
Tradingview has a superb tool (XABCD pattern) for drawing the Butterfly pattern but it can also be done with the Fibonacci tool.
butterfly chart patterns
 1. This is the X point and is the first place we click with the tool
 2. This ending forms that XA swing
 3. We click at this point and we get the AB leg (70% retrace in this example)
 4. Clicking here gives us the BC leg (C ends at an 87.9% pullback against the AB leg)
 5. This is the Potential Reversal Zone and completes the CD leg (This forms a 153% extension of XA leg and 235% extension of BC leg
Remember, the Potential Reversal Zone is known in advance.
The following chart shows the same chart using Fibonacci retracements and extensions. After point four ( BC leg) has completed, you can then project upwards to find the zones and mark off the areas of interest.
potential reversal zone of butterfly pattern
The red zone is the 1.618 extension of the BC leg and the 1.272 (1.618) extension of the XA leg. This is the minimum zone and you would prefer to have a price closer to the 1.272 end of the zone.
The yellow zone includes the extreme extension level of the BC leg and the minimum 1.272 of the XA leg.
While the hard and fast rule is the AB leg must be a retract 78.6% of XA leg, let's agree that markets are not exact and close is close enough.
Stop Loss Location + Profit Targets
Every method of trading should have a stop loss and the harmonic Butterfly pattern has a built-in stop-loss location.
Your stop loss on a short reversal trade should go just beyond the trading zone outlined via the Fib ratios. Some traders, if the price has not breached the 1.618 extension of the XA leg, will put their stop loss above that location.
Profit targets can be Fibonacci retracements of the entire CD leg. You can also trail your stop above each high (for a short) each time a new low is made
stop loss profit targets for butterfly trading pattern
When considering profits, use the levels as zones and monitor price action. What we don't want to see is strong momentum against our positions and remember that Fibonacci levels hold no magic in the markets.
Learn to line up the levels with actual support and resistance levels that may affect the direction of price.
Butterfly Pattern – A Twist
The important numbers of the Butterfly are the 78.6% level and the 127% extension level. We can use those two levels to form the bones of a trading strategy.
This is an uptrend and we pull the Fibs from highs to low.
When price meets the 78.6% level, we take a long position with the 127% extension level as our price target.
Note that at the top of the chart where the red X is located, price did not breach the 78.6% level and therefore there is no long trade taken. We then reverse to trading shorts.
Trading Reactions
Another method that will utilize the same important ratios of the Butterfly pattern allows us to play both sides of the trend.
In this case, we are trading the break of the 78.6% level and taking profits at that 127% level.
The yellow dashes are the break of the 78.6 levels and the yellow splash is the 127 level where you'd take profits and reverse if possible.
We will then look to see a reaction in the opposite direction of our previous trade. We are looking to take advantage of:
 - Momentum once price breaks the 78.6% level
 - Reversal momentum once price hits the 127% level, reverses, and traps traders that must exit.
The last trade on the right is a current long that just broke the 78.6% level.
As for stop locations, you could use a ratio of 61.8 to tuck your stop behind
Butterfly Pattern Trading Strategy Wrap Up
The Butterfly pattern can be simple to spot when you see a pullback (AB leg) from the initial XA leg. You will then look for a higher low (uptrend) that would form the end of the BC leg.
The stop loss and price targets are built-in which takes much discretion out of the Butterfly strategy.
The biggest issue for a trader is defining swings in the market that can be used to draw the pattern. The rule of thumb is to use a swing that is obvious.
Look around your charts for the pattern and define your trading rules for a Butterfly strategy or for the last two just mentioned.

The Conquest of Happiness
Introduction by Anthony Grayling
Published February 1st 2006 by Routledge – 200 pages
Series: Routledge Classics
The Conquest of Happiness is Bertrand Russell's recipe for good living. First published in 1930, it pre-dates the current obsession with self-help by decades. Leading the reader step by step through the causes of unhappiness and the personal choices, compromises and sacrifices that (may) lead to the final, affirmative conclusion of 'The Happy Man', this is popular philosophy, or even self-help, as it should be written.

Although often called simply rainbow cookies in much of the continental United States, some local names for this special cookie are:
Neopolitan cookies
Seven-layer cookies
Tricolor cookies
Venetian cookies
In southern Italy almond paste cookies are abundant, but rainbow cookies weren't found in this region or anywhere else in Italy. Although it is reported that recently some bakeries in Italy feature the cookie during the Christmas holidays. Rainbow cookies are an Italian American invention and most likely created to honor the color of the Italian flag. While it can be pretty difficult to pinpoint the exact history or creator, Rainbow cookies were made popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s by Italian-American bakeries, particularly those found in New York City, such as De Lillo's and Ferrara's.
Here is a modern twist video on this old-time treat from CBS News:
Rainbow cookies are also a common dessert for Jewish Americans. As Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe settled in New York at the turn of the 20th century, they often settled in areas that also had an Italian population. It was at this point that Jewish Americans were introduced to the rainbow cookie. The original rainbow cookie was made with butter and featured the Italian flag-like design in white, red and green. Jewish Americans adapted this cookie to suit their own Kosher dietary needs, substituting margarine for the butter. Jewish Americans were the first to change the original Italian flag design from a white layer to a yellow layer and the cookies are quite popular at Jewish delicatessens.
Italian American Rainbow Cookies
1- 8 ounce can almond paste
1 cup of sugar
4 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 drops green food coloring
8 drops red food coloring
12-ounce jar apricot preserves
8 ounces semisweet chocolate
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease three 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dishes; line with waxed paper; spray the paper with cooking spray.
Break up the almond paste in an electric mixer bowl with a fork. Add butter, sugar, egg yolks and extract and beat with the mixer until fluffy, 5 minutes. Beat in the flour and salt.
Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Stir into the almond mixture with a wooden spoon, using a turning motion similar to folding.
Remove 1-1/2 cups batter; spread evenly into one of the prepared pans. Remove another 1-1/2 cups batter to small bowl; tint green with coloring. Spread into the second pan. Tint remaining 1-1/2 cups batter red. Spread in the remaining pan.
Bake 15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden; cake layers will each be 1/4 inch thick. Immediately remove cakes from the pans onto large wire racks. Carefully peel off waxed paper. Cool.
Place red layer on upturned jelly roll pan or large platter lined with foil. Heat preserves; strain. Spread half of the strained preserves over the red layer. Top with a white layer. Spread with remaining preserves. Cover with a green layer, top side up.
Cover with plastic wrap. Weigh down with a large wooden cutting board, heavy flat tray, or large book. Refrigerate overnight.
Melt chocolate on top of a double boiler over hot water.
Trim off the uneven cake edges with a sharp knife. Frost the top layer with half of the melted chocolate. Let chocolate dry. Turn the rectangle over and frost with the remaining chocolate. Let the chocolate dry. Cut the cake crosswise into 1-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip into 1-inch pieces. Makes about 6 dozen. Store in a container in the refrigerator. Cookies freeze well.

Listening to great sound doesn't have to come at a great price. With just a few materials, you can build a box to house your speakers with sound quality as good as anything you might buy. Follow the steps listed below and build your own speaker box.
- Speaker driver
- Wood Glue
- Black speaker cloth
- Insulation, such as fiberglass or polyfill
Here's what to do:
- Purchase six wood boards. These boards will be the sides of your speaker box. Before deciding what wood to buy, ask a sales' associate what wood provides the best acoustics [source: Anderson].
- Measure and cut the boards so they fit around your speaker driver. The measurements will depend on the size and style speaker box you want to build.
- Measure the face of your speaker driver. Cut a hole in one of the boards for the speaker driver to sit in. This board will be the front panel of the speaker box.
- Screw the speaker driver to the front panel of the speaker box. (Place the screws in the holes on the speaker driver's side.)
- Cut the black speaker cloth to fit across the entire front panel board. Glue the cloth to the edges of the board.
- Drill holes in all the boards. Screw five of the boards together, including the board with the speaker driver, creating a box. Leave the box open in the back.
- Screw a brace to the inside of each corner of the box. This makes the box sturdier and prevents the boards from shaking when the volume is high.
- Fill the box with insulation. Choose your insulation based on the sound you want to create. Experiment with different amounts of insulation until you perfect the acoustics [source: Sabin].
- Make a hole in the back panel for the speaker wires to connect to the electricity.
- Thread the wires through the hole.
- Screw in the back panel to close the speaker box. Your speaker box is ready.

Client: City of Omaha
Location: Omaha, NE, United States
Completion date: 2003
Artwork budget: $1,200,000
Leo A Daly
Standing over 3-stories tall at 30 feet tall, "Labor" is currently the second largest labor monument in the country. The 271-ton design features the original ladles that were used in the Smelting Plant located at the same site as the monument. The massive design includes five larger-than-life 8-foot figures depicting hard work and dedication to this craft. This sculpture is showcased prominently as part of the newly developed riverfront in Omaha, Nebraska.
Chosen for his unique creative style and realism, Matthew combined realism and abstract concepts to create a spectacular work of art that is inspiring and motivational. Each of the figures, four men and one woman, have weathered expressions and hardened bodies from their daily arduous contributions to their family, community, and country. Incorporating the actual ladles from the original Smelting Plant was a challenge, as they were turned into a functional water feature to mimic their original use. In the colder seasons "Labor" still works as a stand-alone sculpture without running water.
Created from more than 39,000 pounds of steel and over 500,000 pounds of cement, this monument was built with the help of local cement masons, electricians, plumbers, steamfitters, laborers, carpenters, ironworkers, and operating engineers.

Jamaican cuisine the Ital way:
Ital cooking is a type of Jamaican cuisine developed by the Rastafarian faith who believed that natural foods, herbs and vegetables are the way to go. Rastafarians doesn't practice the consumption of meat and foods that are produced by synthetic chemicals.
Today Ital cuisine is well sort after in Jamaica and else where throughout the world. Credit must be given to the Rastafarian elders who created dishes to that fit into their beliefs.
At first Rastafarians was ridicule by locals as many people were ignorant to many healthy lifestyles. However, it came to past when these same people are being thoroughly warned by doctors to eat the healthier.
The revelation is that Rastafarians has introduced healthy recipes into the Jamaican cuisine. The no meat, dairy products and chemically produce foods surely has being adopted by many. Eating lots of raw foods was Rastafarian forte. Now we see conventional nutritionists recommending that 75% of ones complete diet should be raw foods.
Past generations had planted lots of fruit trees in Jamaica that continues to produce. They produce naturally without any fertilizer about from what naturally occurs over the years due to break down of organic materials. While many people don't stop to think about it, but they are having nature's best. These produce are marketed elsewhere as organic and fetch higher prices than normal.
Ital cooking brings another dimension in the Jamaican cuisine which makes it truly interesting. As the saying goes that prevention is better than cure, let your food be your medicine. Ital cuisine is just that.

Build, access, and explore a NEPC database.
Project description
NEPC
Build Status Documentation Status GitHub DOI
The goals of the nepc project are to provide tools to:
 1. parse, evaluate, and populate metadata for electron scattering cross sections;
 2. build a NEPC MySQL database of cross sections;
 3. curate, access, visualize, and use cross section data from a NEPC database; and
 4. support verification and validation of electron scattering cross section data.
The database schema and Python module are designed for anyone interested in plasma chemistry with a background in physics at the graduate level.
Documentation for the nepc project: _URL_.
Organization
The project is organized in the following directories:
 - tests - unit and integration testing
 - tests/data - data directory for the nepc_test database--an example NEPC database containing fictitious electron scattering cross section data used in unit and integration testing
 - tests/data/eda - example exploratory data analysis (EDA) of a NEPC database that is possible with the nepc Python module
 - tests/data/methods - code used to parse fictitious cross section data in LXCat format and create various NEPC Models for the nepc_test database
 - docs - files used by Sphinx to generate the NEPC documentation
 - nepc - the Python code for the nepc package and building a NEPC database
 - nepc/mysql - the Python code for creating a NEPC database from data in $NEPC_DATA_HOME; also creates the nepc_test database from data in $NEPC_HOME/tests/data
Getting Started
To install nepc with pip, run:
$ pip install nepc
Establish a connection to the database named nepc running on a production server (you must set an environment variable $NEPC_PRODUCTION that points to the production server):
>>> cnx, cursor = nepc.connect()
If you've built the nepc_test database on your local machine (see instructions here), establish a connection to it:
>>> cnx, cursor = nepc.connect(local=True, test=True)
Access the pre-defined plasma chemistry model, fict_min2, in the nepc_test database:
>>> fict_min2 = nepc.Model(cursor, "fict_min2")
Print a summary of the fict_min2 model, including a stylized Pandas dataframe:
>>> fict_min2.summary()
Plot the cross sections in fict_min2.
>>> fict_min2.plot(ylog=True, xlog=True, width=8, height=4)
Additional examples of EDA using nepc are in tests/data/eda. Examples of methods for building data files for the nepc_test database, including parsing LXCat formatted data, are in tests/data/methods.

The Royal Government of Cambodia issued Sub-Decree No.31 on the Social Security Pension Scheme on March 4, 202. It details the registration requirement, contribution rate, and benefits for both Compulsory Pension Scheme and Voluntary Pension Scheme, which applies to all persons under Cambodian Labour Law.
Under the Compulsory Pension Scheme, all owner(s) or employer(s) of an establishment(s) /enterprise(s), who employ at least 1 employee must register their establishment(s)/enterprise(s) for the National Social Security Fund on Pension Scheme within 30 days after the effective date of the Sub-Decree, unless they are already registered under the existing Health and Occupational Accident Scheme.
For the Voluntary Pension Scheme, only a member of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) who meets 1 of the following requirements is allowed to participate:
- Losing a paid job before reaching 60 but still having the ability to pay the contribution payment.
- Being less than 60 and wishing to contribute to get higher old-age benefit than the benefit they would receive under a compulsory scheme.
- Having an income higher than the wage ceiling determined by a separate sub-decree.
Under both compulsory and voluntary schemes, the benefits include old-age benefit, disability benefit, survival benefit, and funeral allowance. Except for funeral allowance, the other pension benefits for the two schemes will be provided bi-monthly and adjusted annually based on the change in consumer price index determined by the Ministry of Planning.
The contribution rate is determined at the following rates and phases:
- Phase 1: 4% of the contributable wage during the first 5 years from the contribution starting date to be set by the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training (MLVT)
- Phase 2: 8% of the contributable wage during another 5 years after Phase 1
- Phase 3: Addition of 2.75% of the contributable wage to the above rate during the next 10 years, and subsequent increase of 2.75% every ten years.
During the first 5 years, the employee and employer under the compulsory scheme each will share 50% of the contribution payment to NSSF.
For the voluntary scheme, the applicant shall bear 100% of the cost.Back to all country updates

The meaning and origin of the expression: Donkey's years
Browse phrases beginning with:
Donkey's years
Other phrases about:
What's the meaning of the phrase 'Donkey's years'?
A very long time.
What's the origin of the phrase 'Donkey's years'?
It turns out that, although Donkey's years is now the more commonly used slang term when meaning 'a long time', donkey's ears, has been used that way too (although not very often) since at least the early 20th century. The English humorous writer Edward Verral Lucas used the phrase that way in his novel Vermilion Box, 1916:
The clue there seems to be that Lucas write comic stories. 'Donkey's ears' wasn't used until well after the date that 'donkey's years' had become established in the language and was only ever a jokey alternative form.
So, having found 'donkey's ears' to be a side-show, we now come to when and how did 'donkey's years' originate? It is now used as Cockney rhyming slang and the assumption that is made by many is that the expression was coined as such, making the rhyme between 'ears' and 'years'. That assumption is very likely to be wrong. Three things count against it.
1. It isn't backed by any known evidence.
2. The expressions use as Cockney rhyming slang is long predated by it being used in being used with no CRS connection. The first example of the expression 'donkey's years' that I can find in print is from The Salisbury Times, July 1876:
Didn't you ask him how long it had been in his possession?
I can't recollect that. I might have done so.
Didn't he say for years and years and donkey's years?
This is getting on for a hundred years earlier than any use of 'donkey's years' as rhyming slang, which isn't found in print with a rhyming slang connection until the 1950s.
'Donkey's years' is certainly in use as Cockney rhyming slang now but the evidence points to it being a back-formation, that is, an existing phrase that got taken up as rhyming slang later.
Donkey's yearsDonkey's years may have been chosen as a synonym for a long time simply because donkeys are long-lived animals. Lively Laddie, a donkey who had lived up to his name for many years while plying his trade on Blackpool Pleasure Beach was, until his death at age 62, a contender for the 'oldest living quadruped' title.

text: The efficient stimulated Raman scattering conversion in a diode-pumped actively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser was achieved with an undoped YVO4 crystal as a Raman shifter. With an incident pump power of 16.2 W, 1176-nm first Stokes average output power of 2.97 W was generated at a pulse repetition rate of 50 kHz. The maximum pulse energy is higher than 83 μJ at both 20 kHz and 30 kHz. With mode-locked modulation, the effective pulse width far above threshold is usually below 5 ns. With an incident pump power of 7.62 W, the peak-power of 43.5 kW was demonstrated at 20 kHz.

Calcium carbonate precipitation may occur in bentonite which will be used as an engineered barrier in disposal of radioactive waste generated from Fukushima nuclear accident. In this study, an electrokinetic method was used to enhance the calcium and carbonate migration in saturated sodium bentonite. Sequential extraction method was developed to quantify different states of cations and anions in compacted bentonite after the electromigration experiment. The conditions for CaCO3 precipitation are discussed based on the spatial distribution and chemical states of ions both in the interlayer and in the pore water of bentonite.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO, NOV. 16, 2021 - The Missouri Department of Natural Resources is extending the deadline for Missouri communities to submit information on their water infrastructure funding needs.
Drinking water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure projects in Missouri are critical to providing essential service to Missouri citizens and businesses, but are largely underfunded.
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) provides funds that may be used to make necessary investments in water and sewer infrastructure to state, local and tribal governments. However, most communities have water funding needs that far exceed the amount of ARPA grant funds they were directly allocated.
Governor Mike Parson has announced a commitment to offer grants from the state's ARPA allocation for water infrastructure improvements. He will present his plan to the General Assembly at his State of the State address in January 2022.
To better understand the scope of Missouri infrastructure needs associated with wastewater, drinking water and stormwater utilities, the department is asking Missouri communities to complete a brief survey. The information gleaned from survey responses will help identify water infrastructure funding needs across the state and be used to develop state grant programs to help meet those needs.
The survey is intended to identify prospective projects that could be funded if grant funds were made available. The department is particularly interested in water infrastructure projects for which an engineering report has already been prepared, as well as projects that are difficult to finance with existing resources. Communities are encouraged to complete the survey with details about their projects, including estimated costs, available local cost share funding and the community's demographic information.
Grant programs will favor applicants who propose projects that are necessary for compliance and public health protection, demonstrate financial need and that provide local cost share funds to complete the work. Communities should consider retaining their local ARPA allocations to offer as cost share funds for state ARPA grant programs, likely increasing the community's chances of being awarded state ARPA grant funding.
To submit water infrastructure projects, visit _URL_. Surveys may now be submitted until 5 p.m. Nov. 30, 2021.
For more information, please contact the Water Protection Program's Financial Assistance Center at _EMAIL_ or _PHONE_.

Students are the reason that Jesuit Academy exists! We think it's important that you meet them and learn about the things Jesuit students are accomplishing in the classroom and in their communities. Look forward to a student feature each month.
This month, we introduce you to 7th grader Henry. For the past two summers, Henry has led tours of the Great Plains Black History Museum's exhibit of the Negro Baseball League. This exhibit was put on in conjunction with the College World Series.
Henry first found out about the opportunity in 5th grade. Students across Omaha were asked to read the book Black Diamond: The Story of the Negro Baseball Leagues and then write a 500 word essay. Students were then interviewed, with only 12 students selected to be tour guides. Henry was the only student from a private school selected. Henry served as a tour guide in the summers prior to 6th and 7th grade.
Henry likes everything about being a tour guide. The most famous person he has given a tour to is Omaha City Councilman Ben Gray.
Should the exhibit return for another year, Henry will be back on the job and looking forward to your visit.
Great job Henry!

text: Community based monitoring is emerging as a promising practice for improving programme effectiveness and as a key component of rights-based implementation of health programmes. One of the challenges of this approach is to demonstrate that it is yielding results. Community based monitoring is often seen as a process intensive intervention, which may not yield results in terms of changes in health 'services' and health 'outcomes' in the short term. However, it is very important in 'empowering' communities and in building their capacities in engaging with service providers and to negotiate better services for themselves. This paper discusses the different conceptual dimensions of community monitoring and then explores the difficulties of monitoring and assessing progress and results. It also explores a set of mechanisms for documenting and assessing progress drawing upon contemporary practice of evaluation. Using practical examples drawn from the author's own practice and two examples of field level practice in India, the author proposes a practical methodology for assessing progress, drawing lessons and for establishing robust evidence based results in the field of community based monitoring.

 // Set the value
You can also get a copy of this code from Brian Clifton's blog article "Remove PII from Google Analytics." I made a few changes in the email and self-email regular expression so that the entire email address would be redacted instead of only the four characters before and after the @ symbol. You could also update the other regular expression to match the parameters you pass in your URL. For example, you may want to add the name parameter to the regex if your site uses the name parameter in your URL.
2. Update your Google Analytics setting to add a custom task to call the new variable you created from the previous step.
Once you have the GTM setting and variable in place, you can set up a "Site Content" report in Google Analytics to check on any URLs that contain redacted PII data by adding a page filter that matches the word "REDACTED." You can check the "Site Content" report to see if you are passing any PII data in your URLs and take action on your site to remove that data from the source.

The poverty impact of climate change in Mexico
This paper examines the effects of climate change on poverty through the relationship between indicators of climate change (temperature and rainfall change) and municipal level gross domestic product, and subsequently between gross domestic product and poverty. The evidence suggests that climate change could have a negative impact on poverty by 2030. The paper proposes a two-stage least squares regression where it first regresses temperature and rainfall (along with geographic controls and state and year fixed effects) on municipal gross domestic product per capita for 2000 and 2005 The resulting gross domestic product per capita is used in a second equation to estimate municipal poverty on the same years.
The authors then incorporate projections of temperature and rainfall changes by 2030 into the estimated climate-gross domestic product coefficients to assess the effects of climate change in economic activity and how this in turn will influence poverty. At the same time, they account for the potential adaptive capacity of municipalities through higher population densities and economic growth. Both would reduce poverty by 31.72 percentage points between 2005 and 2030 with changing climate. However, poverty could have been reduced up to 34.15 percentage points over the same period had there been no climate change. This suggests that climate change slows down the pace of poverty reduction. An alternative reading is that poverty is expected to increase from 15.25 percent (without climate change) to 17.68 percent (with climate change) by 2030. Given the existing population projections for 2030, this represents 2,902,868 people remaining in poverty as a result of climate change.

First Flush Devices - A Review
by Doug Pushard
What is a First Flush? Is there one perfect type of First Flush device? Where do I put a First Flush on my rainwater catchment system?
First Flush or Rain Diverters, as the name implies, flush off the first water of a storm before it enters the storage tank. This is the water that could be the most contaminated by particulates, bird droppings, and other materials laying on the roof. Eliminating these contaminants before they enter into your storage and conveyance system is critical to keeping rainwater clean.
After screening your gutters, a First Flush device is the next line of defense in keeping your system and water clean. This is especially true if the water is used inside the house or where children or those with weakened immune systems may come in contact with the water.
Over the years, numerous articles have been written about First Flush devices and it is still an area of much research. However, it is generally agreed that these devices can improve the quality of the rainwater, lengthen the life of your system components, and reduce overall maintenance. The simple diagram above depicts the theory behind these devices (i.e. draining off first rainfall before it enters the tank).
Below is a summary of some the major articles and resources addressing First Flush devices. These should provide a general reference in evaluating the need for a first flush and the type of device best suited for your unique situation.
Rainwater Harvesting Pty Ltd First Flush website article
This article discusses the wide array of designs and sizes of First Flush devices with pictures of the different designs. According to this article, First Flush devices are a critical component of rainwater harvesting systems. By preventing the first, most contaminated water from the roof they:
- Improve rainwater quality and safety
- Help extend the life of pumps (used to distribute rainwater for use)and internal appliances (such as hot water systems, washing machines, dishwashers, etc)
- Reduce tank maintenance
This article sites a study done in Australia which preliminarily concludes that the quality of the water improves dramatically with the use of First Flush water diverters.
First Flush Device Comparisons - An article by Kenneth Vidacovich published
February 2004, and available on Green Pages compares Constant-Volume Containers and First Flush Devices. This article reviews the effects of rain intensity, the general variability of rainfall intensity and maintenance issues in terms of functionality and possible health concerns. Cost estimates are made in order to compare the costs of two popularly used configurations.
This article provides an excellent overview article with detailed comparison between the two different types of devices with good instructions on how to construct a device. The author of the article is the President of FloTrue, a manufacturer of a First Flush device.
A major point from the article: "Rainfall events "generally" start at a low intensity (i.e. mist or drizzle), and rain intensity is the critical washoff factor; it is likely that a constant-volume container will substantially fill with clean water. Then, when more intense rains begin, debris and contaminates from the roof can undesirably wash into the water storage vessel. This is the major pitfall of constant-volume First Flush devices. First Flush valves can be designed to substantially overcome this pitfall."
The Texas Manual on Rainwater Harvesting - 3rd Edition - is an excellent manual that is recommended reading for anyone interested in rainwater harvesting.
Included in this manual is a chapter on First Flush devices and instructions on how to build a simple low-cost device.
People for Rainwater FAQ from Japan states that according to research done in March - April 1980 on rainwater collected from the roof of an office building in central Tokyo, about 0.19 - 0.39 of an inch (.5 - 1 cm) of rainfall was needed to wash the surface of the roof. Other research, done in August - September 1986, also in central Tokyo, measuring the degree of change in water quality in rainwater collected from a roof after a period of about 11 days of no rain, showed that water quality is generally stable after 0.59 - 0.78 of an inch (1.5 - 2 cm) of rain. In other words, even after a dry spell, only about the first 0.59 of an inch (1.5 cm) of rainwater is affected by pollutants accumulated on the rain-collecting surface.
Effects of First Flush on Rainwater Qualitypublished in May 2006, by the International Rainwater Catchment found that First Flush systems contribute signifcantly to reducing the contaminents that are washed off the roof harvesting area.
According to this article, rainwater users can reduce their risks of disease from contaminated rainwater consumption by regular maintenance and using a well-designed system. A range of pathogens has been found in roof-collected rainwater including Salmonella, Campylobacter, Giardia and Cryptosporidium. The likely sources of these pathogens were faecal material deposited by birds, frogs, rodents and possums, and dead animals and insects, either in the gutters or in the water tank itself.
However, detailed event studies undertaken in South East Queensland (SEQ) in Australia have shown that discarding the first.039 of an inch (~1 cm) of runoff with a First Flush device usually does little to substantially reduce the event mean concentration of bacteria and heavy metals entering a rainwater tank during a storm event.
The article also discusses a study by SEQ on first flush devices that highlighted the complexity of roof runoff chemistry. A current research project is underway which is investigating the effect of geographic location (i.e. cities, suburbs, air quality) on bulk contaminant deposition on roofs, the interaction of roofing material and rainfall characteristics on contaminant concentration in the runoff, and the transformation of contaminants that occur in a rainwater tank due to biogeochemical processes.
Rainwater Harvesting Technology Filters and Separatorsby Development Technology Unit of
the School of Engineering,
University of Warwick, covers all the different types of first flush options including: manual, fixed volume, fixed mass and flow rate. Additionally, the article includes the pros and cons of different placements (i.e. at downpipe, in downpipe, etc) of the filter options.
Key highlights from this article: 1) users will usually only spend 5-10% of cost of system on filtering the water, 2) manual systems are usually employed only in very low cost situations, and 3) filtration systems require maintenance and are usually disabled if not easy to maintain.
In summary, First Flush devices can improve the quality of your rainwater, but how much is still under debate. However, all devices that remove impurities and particulates before your water is stored are a good thing. Consequently, regardless of the proven and agreed upon health consequences, cleaning your rainwater will reduce your maintenance and lengthen the life of the system components.
Some general rules of thumb:
- As a general guideline First Flush devices should remove about 10 gallons (37.8 liters) of water per 1,000 square feet (92.9 square meters) of roof/catchment area
- Remember to size for each downspout of the catchment/roof area
- If harvesting rainwater in an area with high pollution (e.g. urban area with poor air quality), an area with lots of dust or other pollution sources, a larger First Flush is required
- First flush devices need to have an easy way to open and maintain. If not, the First Flush will most likely be disabled.

VOC and RSC Sampling
at Downtown Fire Hall for an Odour Event
- Three-month monitoring during the winter 2010-2011.
- Canister sampling when odour was perceived.
Occasional odour complaints during cold winter days when atmosphere is stable.
To investigate the potential sources of odours.
- Temperature: -17°C, increasing from midnight of -22°C.
- Wind: Low wind speed ~3-4 km/hr from SW direction.
- Upwind sources: CPR rail yard and downtown business/traffic
- SO2: 3 ppb, maximum of the day (baseline conc. <1 ppb).
- Locomotive diesel contains higher sulphur (max 500 mg-S/kg) than
on-road diesel fuel (max 15 mg-S/kg).
- Normal conc. pattern for the other pollutants (NOx, CO, THC, O3, PM2.5).
06:22 am: 3 ppb, max. of the day
- A grab sample was collected.
- 06:22 am January 31, 2013 when an odour was perceived.
- Sample was analyzed for
Reduced sulphur compounds (RSC), and
Volatile organic compounds (VOC).
- Small sample size, n = 1.
- Sample did not detect a unique signature species.
- Compare to the Mirror rail yard study (AESRD, 2011).
- Mirror is located approx. 50 km NE of Red Deer.
- Simple flat terrain, few emission sources near Mirror.
- The program collected both upwind & downwind samples.
- Rail yard activities information was recorded.
Nevis Gas Plant
4 km approx.
Nevis Booster Compressor
7 km approx.
– Typical sulphide odour, like a rotten egg smell
– Most abundant sulphur compound naturally present in atmosphere.
– Anthropogenic sources:
Upwind of rail yard
Downwind of rail yard, with active rail yard activities
Downwind of the south rail yard, but little activities in this section
- Detected in most samples (active & minimal yard activities)
- Conc. not apparently higher for samples with active rail yard activities upwind (B,C vs. D,E) .
- In Canada, vehicle emission accounts for >80% of benzene in an urban area.
- Traffic volume: City of Medicine Hat > Hamlet of Mirror
- Other petroleum fuel combustion is another potential source of benzene.
- Railyard operation might not be the sole emission source of toluene.
- Toluene is a naturally occurring component of crude oil and petroleum.
- Major anthropogenic sources in Alberta are O&G operation and cement manufacturing.
- Potential link with rail yard activities.
Butane & isobutane: refrigerant, aerosol propellant, fuel blending.
Freon-11: refrigerant, aerosol propellant.
Although low concentration, some species present a trend with wind pattern and rail yard activities.
Five species were detected in the samples when wind was from both active and less active rail yard.
Only methylcyclohexane was detected in the sample upwind of rail yard.

Is there anything similar to R's findInterval (or cut) in SAS, specifically in IML?
I'm converting an R program of mine that does Monte Carlo simulations to IML, and it uses findInterval to convert the numbers from the random number generator to an output state. I can write something in IML to replace it, but it's terribly slow compared to the original. This is because findInterval takes advantage of compiled C code; is there anything similar that I can use in SAS?
share|improve this question
I should probably describe what it is that findInterval does! Given a value x and a vector of sorted cutpoints vec, it finds those cutpoints that x lies between, ie which interval x falls into. More precisely, if vec[i] < x < vec[i+1], then findInterval returns i. The argument x can also be a vector, in which case it returns a vector of intervals. – Hong Ooi Feb 9 '11 at 23:04

Are your breaks uniform (equal probability) or not? For uniform breaks, you can use ceil(k*u) where u is the vector or random uniform numbers. For example, if you want 10 observations randomly assigned to the numbers 1-4 with equal probability, you can say
y = ceil(4*ranuni(j(10,1)));
or, if you want to use the newer random number generator,
u = j(10,1); /** allocate **/
call randgen(u, "uniform"); /** fill with U[0,1] **/
y = ceil(4*u);
For unequal probability, use the "table" distribution. For example,
p = {0.1 0.5 0.2 0.2}; /** four categories with given probabilities **/
y = j(10, 1);
call randgen(y, "Table", p); /** fills with 1-4 with probability p **/
You might be interested in using the SampleWithReplace module from Chapter 13 of my book, Statistical Programming with SAS/IML software. You can download the code and see an example of its use at _URL_
Both of these techniques eliminate the need for findInterval because they produce the categories directly. If you REALLY REALLY think you need to bin the random numbers, you can use the algorithm I describe here: _URL_

Yes, that should do the trick. Thanks! – Hong Ooi Feb 23 '11 at 1:14
By the way, SAS 9.3 introduced the BIN function into the SAS/IML language. See blogs.sas.com/content/iml/2013/07/15/cut-pts-and-uneven-bins – Rick Jul 15 '13 at 17:24

In this work the effect of fat content on dough aeration during proving was investigated using dynamic dough density measurements. Doughs of three different fat levels (0%, 0.04% and 0.2% flour basis) were mixed under various pressures using a Tweedy mixer and proved at five different temperatures (30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 °C) in the dynamic dough density system. The dough expansion capacity and the time of the gas loss of each dough sample were measured and related to fat level, mixing pressure and proving temperature.
The time of gas loss decreased with increasing proving temperature for all fat levels, as expected due to increasing yeast activity and reduced carbon dioxide solubility. The final gas capacity of dough is affected by the mixing pressure and the temperature. Fat content had no significant effect on the time of the loss of gas retention or the dough's final expansion capacity. However, fat affected the pattern of gas loss towards the end of proving; thus in doughs with fat, the gas loss rate occurred smoothly and gradually, in contrast to the doughs with no fat that exhibited sudden gas loss. The findings demonstrated that the dynamic dough density method is a sensitive, straightforward technique for the investigation of factors affecting gas retention in bread doughs.

Wire Housings & Plugs
PCB connector housings provide a receptacle for connectors when they are mounted onto a printed circuit board. PCB connectors are used to link different printed circuit boards to one another, or to allow a cable to be connected to a PCB.
How do PCB connector housings work?
PCB connector housings are molded according to the type of PCB connector they are designed to fit. The connector is mounted on to the PCB using the PCB connector housing, and the housing provides some level of protection for the connection. PCB connector housings also include space for the PCB connector contacts, to allow the current of electricity to flow.
Types of PCB connector housings
The main way in which PCB connector housings differ is in the number of contacts they accommodate. This can range from just one contact to over 100. They can also be made from a range of materials, depending on the level of protection required for the connector.

INHERITANCE OF BITTERNESS IN CUCUMBER
Three cucumber inbred lines with different types of bitterness: bitter in both foliage and fruit (BiBiBtBt), bitterfree in both foliage and fruit (bibibtbt), and bitter in foliage only (BiBibtbt,) were used as materials to examine the segregation ratios of the F1, F2, and BC1 progeny. The results showed that the genes controlling foliage bitterness, Bi and bi, act independently of those controlling fruit bitterness, Bt and bt, and that bi is epistatically recessive to Bt. Fruits are also bitter when Bi and bi are heterozygous, even in the absence of Bt, although the extent of bitterness is less than that caused by Bt, and the proportion of bitter fruit is lower.
