BACKGROUND Rib fractures (RFx) remain the most prevalent injury in an elderly population that will increase from 40 to 81 million for the next 30 years. We sought to create an accurate cost-effective algorithm to triage elderly patients with RFx that accounted for both frailty and trauma burden. METHODS Retrospective analysis evaluated 400 patients older than 55 years with RFx admitted to a level 1 trauma center from 2007 to 2012. Comorbidities included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, tobacco use, obesity, and nutrition and functional status. Trauma burden included RFx, tube thoracostomy, pulmonary contusions, and spine and extremity fractures. Patients with Glasgow Coma Scale scores lower than 13, thoracoabdominal surgery, or deaths from other causes were excluded. Comparative analysis used bivariate and logistic regression. Variables contributing to intubation (INT) and pneumonia (PNA) were then used to create a scoring system to predict the need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission. RESULTS Six variables increased the risk for INT or PNA: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, low albumin, assisted status, tube thoracostomy, Injury Severity Score, and RFx (p < 0.05). These six variables and congestive heart failure (odds ratio, 1.9; p = 0.06) were used to create a predictive model with the following scores assigned respectively: 1.4, 1.1, 1, 0.9, 0.1(n), 0.1(n), and 0.6. A score lower than 3.7 had a sensitivity and specificity of 78.5% and 78.9%. The negative predictive value was 94.5% for INT or PNA, suggesting a low risk for ICU requirement. Ninety-two ICU admissions had a score lower than 3.7. Forty had no other indication for ICU admission aside from RFx. These patients had an average ICU length of stay of 1.7 days, resulting in an increased cost of $2,200 per patient. CONCLUSION A scoring system combining frailty and trauma burden may provide more accurate and cost-effective triage of the elderly trauma patient with RFx. Further prospective studies are required to verify our scoring system. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic and epidemiologic study, level III.

Springvale Township was established in 1870 and included Bradford for a time. The first settlers came to the area of Walbo in the mid-1860's. Among them were Ole Wicklund, Ole Lindquist, D. H. Findell, Eric Molin, John Wallin, John Eklund, A.Westblad and H. August Reineccius.
The Rum River travels through the township from southwest to northwest, and Stanchfield Creek joins the river in Section 23. A ferry was established in 1873 at Walbo and by 1898 there was a bridge, referred to as the Findell Bridge.
A brick yard in Section 13 produced yellow-toned bricks that were used in the construction of a number of homes in the area as well as in the West Riverside School.
The community of Springvale was established in the late 1860's. Early settlers there were Daniel Bodfors, Jonas Dahlin, Peter Mattson, Hans Forsell, the Geseliuses, and the Ossels. A dam on Stanchfield Creek (or Tise Creek as it was sometimes called) furnished power of a saw and flour mill.
Erick Bjorklund built a carding mill at a place called Good Hope Point on Stanchfield Creek in the 1880's. It was the forerunner of the Cambridge Woolen Mills.

- Land Tenure Pathway for Irrigated Agriculture will help develop irrigated agricultural projects
- Part of the Liberal National Government's $40 million Water for Food program, made possible by Royalties for Regions
The Liberal National Government today launched a detailed information package to help simplify the land approvals process for irrigated agriculture business development, as part of the $40 million Water for Food program.
Regional Development and Lands Minister Terry Redman released the Land Tenure Pathway for Irrigated Agriculture (LTPIA) package at the Kununurra Agricultural Show. The pathway is designed to stimulate economic development and investment in intensive irrigated agriculture projects across Western Australia.
"The package and a website will be important tools for pastoralists and investors seeking to obtain a more secure tenure for irrigated agricultural development," Mr Redman said.
"This package provides pastoralists and third party investors with a clear pathway to change the tenure to a long-term lease or potentially freehold, which will provide more security to develop irrigated agricultural projects.
"The package has been developed in consultation with relevant government agencies, and from feedback obtained through the Mowanjum and Gogo Stations Water for Food pilot case studies."
Water Minister Mia Davies said it was great to see the high level of interest in irrigated agriculture generated through the Water for Food program and having a clear process for land tenure was essential if WA was to capitalise on those opportunities.
The Department of Lands will also be presenting a series of workshops on the LTPIA in regional WA, commencing in the Kimberley and Pilbara regions from September.
Representatives from the Department of Lands' Water for Food team will be at the Kununurra Agricultural Show today and copies of the LTPIA information package will be available.
- LTPIA is part of the State Government's Water for Food project, under the Royalties for Regions $350 million Seizing the Opportunity Agriculture initiative

Researchers: Sovaldi Analysis Could Be Used In Lawsuits Against Medicaid
Researchers at Harvard and Brown universities are analyzing state Medicaid programs' coverage restrictions for the expensive hepatitis C drug Sovaldi, and the findings could lay the groundwork for beneficiaries to sue states, although a Harvard law instructor said legal action is a last resort. Patient advocates are especially angry at states that refuse to give the hepatitis C drug to alcoholics and drug addicts, arguing the policy is discriminatory and has no medical basis.
Malinda Ellwood, clinical instructor of law at Harvard's Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation, stressed that the findings are preliminary; researchers must verify them with states and some states are still considering restrictions. Researchers are starting with Medicaid fee-for-service and hope to analyze prescribing restrictions in other areas, such as Medicaid managed care and states' policies on who can treat patients with both hepatitis C and HIV.
Researchers found 30 states with prior authorization restrictions, which vary widely.
The majority of those 30 states restrict the drug to people with alcohol or drug-abuse problems. Among them, 12 states require that patients be sober and off street drugs for six months or longer before they qualify for Sovaldi, Ellwood said. Six states have abstinence periods between one month and three months, and five states require either abstinence or that patients be in treatment programs.
Lynn Taylor, assistant professor of medicine at Brown University, said she is appalled by states that withhold the drug from people with alcohol and drug addictions. African Americans are twice as likely to get infected by hepatitis C, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and abstinence restrictions sharpen health care disparities between the poor and the rich, Taylor said. (Harvard and Brown researchers are both analyzing Medicaid restrictions by state and may jointly publish their results, Ellwood said.)
There is no medical reason for abstinence restrictions, Taylor argued, adding that some physicians mistakenly believe that people with alcohol and drug addictions are less likely to stick to their drug regimen. Not only is there no evidence of that, Taylor said, there do not appear to be any other diseases for which Medicaid refuses to cover treatments due to alcohol or drug use.
Taylor said it's wrong to penalize patients who are trying to beat addiction by refusing to treat a separate condition. The rational she heard from states is that drug users may reinfect themselves. However, she said research established long ago that a small percentage of patients get reinfected. It's not right to deny treatment to an entire population because of a few, she added. Reinfection is also a problem for other diseases, she noted, and the government doesn't ration treatments for those infections with restrictions on alcohol and drug use.
Although Taylor dislikes all types of restrictions, she said she understands why states are prioritizing treatment to those who are sickest to deal with Sovaldi's price, which costs $84,000 per course. FDA is expected to approve next month a second drug by Gilead Sciences that will be combined with Sovaldi in a single pill, which is expected to add significantly to the treatment's cost. That pill will not need to be taken with interferon, which makes many patients very ill, so it is expected to be a sought-after treatment. Also, Sovaldi already cures more than 90 percent of many types of patients, and the combo pill is expected to have an even better cure rate and to reduce the treatment period from 12 weeks to as few as four weeks.
All 30 states require that patients show some degree of sickness, and most require a metavir score of at least F3, which requires a liver biopsy, before their Medicaid programs will cover Sovaldi, Ellwood said.
Natarajan Ravendhran, chief of gastroenterology and liver disease at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, said it's wrong to require such an invasive procedure to check on the severity of a disease to determine whether patients may receive a cure. Also, it's not clear when someone crosses from stage two to stage three liver disease, and it's difficult to time when to do follow-up biopsies to monitor the progress of liver disease. He said the restrictions often put both patients and their doctors in a difficult position, and he gave as an example one of his patients who is in stage one and wants to have children but cannot until her disease gets bad enough to merit treatment.
Ellwood said 21 states also restrict who may prescribe Sovaldi. That's concerning because there may not be enough specialists to prescribe the drug to those who need it. Nine states require that specialists prescribe hepatitis C drugs, and 12 states require that prescribers consult with specialists.
The university researchers are working with National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable, which has called on HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell to convene a meeting among drug makers, plans, patients and providers to figure out how to make Sovaldi available to everyone infected with hepatitis C. Patient groups are considering suing Medicaid programs in states with particularly strict limits on Sovaldi, but Ellwood said the group she is working with prefers solutions to lawsuits.
States are in a particularly difficult position. There is a high rate of infection among Medicaid beneficiaries and prison systems. Also, states must balance their budgets each year so even though Gilead priced its drug commiserate with the current cost of treatment, those costs are all up front and states cannot stretch them out over the 20 year to 30 years that they normally would have had to cover those costs.

Psychology professor co-authors study on tennis grunting effectsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Posted: Oct 1, 2010
You've heard them at tennis matches – a loud, emphatic grunt with each player's stroke. A University of Hawai'i at Mānoa researcher has studied the impact of these grunts and come up with some surprising findings.
Scott Sinnett, assistant psychology professor at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, has co-authored a study on the potential detrimental effect that noise has on shot perception during a tennis match.
Sinnett's work was published today in an online issue of Public Library of Science ONE. He co-authored the study with Alan Kingstone, psychology professor at the University of British Columbia, to determine if it is reasonable to conclude that a tennis grunt interferes with an opponent's performance.
As part of the study, thirty-three undergraduate students from the University of British Columbia viewed videos of a tennis player hitting a ball to either side of a tennis court; the shot either did or did not contain a brief sound that occurred at the same time as contact.
Participants were required to respond as quickly and accurately as possible, indicating the direction of the shot in each video clip on a keyboard. The extraneous sound resulted in significantly slower response times, and significantly more decision errors, confirming that both response time and accuracy are negatively affected.
"This is the first study to look at the issue of grunting in tennis. Our current work is also looking at how advanced and professional tennis players perform, to determine if they have developed any strategies to limit the negative effects of a grunting opponent," said Sinnett.
While these findings must still be validated on the tennis court, Sinnett and Kingstone noted that these consequences on faster tennis surfaces, such as the grass courts of Wimbledon or hard courts of the Australian and U.S. Open, are likely to be profound.

MSP Task hours change to 0 when replacing a resource
Article ID: 220487
Updated On:
Clarity PPM On Premise Clarity PPM SaaS
Issue with the replacement of resources in Microsoft Project (MSP) where hours are getting dropped when replacing the resource.
Example: You have a role or resource is assigned to a Task with 40 hours. When you select another another resource to assign to the task in MSP, the hours in MSP change to 0
This is due to the resource that the role or resource being replaced with has max units set to 0%. Max units is pulled from the team members allocation for the current day the project is exported from Clarity (See Max Units on Resource Sheet in MSP), so if the resource's allocation on the team tab for today's date is 0, this will give them 0 max units in MSP. Therefore, when the replace is done, MSP sees the resource has no allocation / availability to work on the task and the hours get dropped.
This will happen regardless of whether MSP Assignment Units Mapping with PPM Assignment 'Max % Load is checked or not in Clarity since this the project is now opened in MSP, and MSP owns how the task units are calculated (pulled from the Max units)
Release : All
Component : Clarity Microsoft Project Integration
 1. Assign the resource allocation in Clarity for the current day.
 2. Or, you can readd the hours back after doing the replacement of the resource.

text: Motivated by potential financial savings, four-day school weeks have proliferated across the United States in recent years, reaching public schools in 25 states as of 2018. The consequences of the four-day school week for students, schools, and communities are largely unknown. This paper uses district-level panel data from Oklahoma and a difference-in-differences research design to examine the causal effect of the four-day schedule on school district finance and academic achievement. Results indicate that four-day weeks decrease districts' federal and state revenues and their non-instructional and support services expenditures. Decreases are concentrated specifically in food services and transportation expenditures and amount to approximately 1.36% of the average four-day district's budget. I find no detectable effect of the four-day week on academic achievement.

text: Unis is a nurse expert system prototype specifically designed to assist nurses caring for elderly, incontinent patients residing in nursing homes. Two studies measuring the performance level of UNIS were implemented. In the first study, results of sessions with UNIS on case studies of elderly, incontinent patients were compared to sessions with nurse experts. The relevance of questions, value of recommendations and overall performance were rated by an evaluation panel. In the second study, UNIS was implemented on two nursing units in a nursing home. The number of wet occurrences of patients residing on units where UNIS was consulted by nurses was compared to the number of wet occurrences of patients residing on units where UNIS was not consulted by nurses. The knowledge of urinary incontinence of nurses who consulted UNIS and those who did not consult UNIS were also compared. The results indicate that when judged by an evaluation panel, the relevance of the questions and value of the recommendations generated by UNIS were not rated significantly different than ratings assigned to nurse experts consulting on the same case studies. There was a significant difference between assigned ratings for overall performance; F.01 (4,16) = 10.4. UNIS scored the highest on four out of five case studies. In the second study, the number of wet occurrences of patients residing on units where nurses consulted UNIS decreased significantly; F.01 (2,9) = 34.67. The knowledge of urinary incontinence also improved significantly when nurses' consulted UNIS; F.001 (2,157) = 19.46. The methods and results of these two studies are presented.

When you think of traditional corporate video production there is a stereotype of the video being boring and dull. Now in the past this was correct. Corporate video production used to not be very engaging, simply a tool for brand awareness.
However, the video production landscape has changed. Video is now more engaging and the key to moving your audience, through appealing to their emotions.
Through creative and experimental ways, the increase in businesses connecting to an audience on an emotional level has become highly prevalent. Today authenticity and personal corporate videos are rewarded over the standard facts and figures of a product or service.
How Effective Is Emotion In Corporate Video Production?
Using the right balance of emotion throughout the corporate video production process makes for a compelling watch. If you can bring tears to an audience members eyes or make them laugh you connected with them.
And if you connected with them on a human level chances are they are going to converse with others about your video and share it online. This is what you want, to improve your reach but also to start a conversation.
Humans are social creatures and the art of storytelling is to create something that resonates with people, something they can relate to. The greater the emotional impact, the greater the success rate of your video.
What Are The Most Effective Emotions To Evoke?
With different business models different emotions to target will be relevant. You first have to consider what type of emotions you wish to elicit in a consumer. Positive emotions like happiness tend to evoke a more positive response.
Content Marketing Agency Fractl created a study analysing what the most popular emotional responses revolving around viral content.
Their study found the top ten emotional responses to viral content were:
 1. Happiness
 2. Surprise
 3. Admiration
 4. Satisfaction
 5. Hope
 6. Love
 7. Happiness for
 8. Concentration
 9. Pride
 10. Gratification
The bottom emotional responses to viral content were:
 1. Hate
 2. Reproach
 3. Resentment
 4. Gloating
 5. Shame
 6. Anger
 7. Remorse
 8. Depression
 9. Annoyance
 10. Disappointment

NDSU Associate Professor Researches how North Dakota Crops Can Be Used by Food Manufacturers
January 30, 2012, Fargo, N.D. – If you have ever been curious about where the idea for your breakfast cereal or snack food originated, it may have been in a lab like the one at Harris Hall where Clifford Hall conducts his research.
Hall, associate professor in the School of Food Systems and interim technical director of the Northern Crops Institute, researches how North Dakota crops, such as beans, peas and flax, can be used in nontraditional ways.
Grinding dried beans, puffing them and coating them with cheese, for example, produces a food similar to Cheetos, which are made from corn, he explained. And protein from peas can replace eggs in baked goods such as cakes, cookies and muffins. "Most people don't think of peas and eggs functioning the same way, but they can in baking applications," Hall said.
The advantage of using dried beans in snack food is the high fiber, micronutrient and protein content that starchy snacks lack, Hall said. He sees commercial potential for bean-based snacks in Southeast Asia where consumers prefer natural foods. "Products made from beans and peas are of interest because these commodities are currently produced using traditional agricultural methods," Hall said.
People who have egg allergies and vegans are possible consumers for products that replace eggs with pea protein. If a product doesn't contain eggs, the food manufacturer can leave the egg allergen warning off the food label, Hall said. Pea protein is also less expensive than eggs.
But does pea-protein cake taste good? "The sensory evaluations have been positive," Hall said. "They are comparable to egg cake." In November 2011, Hall invited people on campus to taste test cookies and cake made with the pea protein instead of eggs. In physical measurements, products made from eggs fared better; however, taste testers liked the baked goods made from pea protein more than the cakes made with eggs. "The moist texture was one reason why panelists liked the cakes containing pea protein," Hall said.
Hall, who has a sensitivity to eggs, uses pea protein in his own kitchen for pancakes, waffles and muffins. "I'm a guinea pig to my own research," he said.
The goal of Hall's research isn't to produce a commercial product, but to prove that the ingredients can be made into an affordable food that looks and tastes good. Food manufacturers then use the research to develop the products consumers see in stores. About a decade ago, for example, Hall and Frank Manthey researched using flax in pasta. Since then, food manufacturers have developed flax-enriched pasta.
His research on bean-based snack foods and pea-protein as egg replacer bodes well for North Dakota farmers. North Dakota is the No. 1 producer of dried peas and several types of dried beans.

The last time I checked, most sugar is really dry (unless it's something like brown sugar). So why is it categorized as "wet"?
Sugar is not really a wet ingredient, it's just treated as one in certain types of baking (i.e. cakes).
When making a cake or other "fluffy" baked good, you want a fairly small amount of gluten to be produced, otherwise you'll get a chewy texture instead, and you definitely don't want a cake to be chewy like bread.
Dissolving sugar in the water inhibits the gluten-forming proteins. It's a method (actually, the method) of adding more liquid to the mix without getting a tough, chewy cake. It is for this reason that sugar is considered a "wet ingredient" - because the process only works properly if you add it with the water, not with the other dry ingredients.
It's even possible for sugar to be a dry and wet ingredient in the same recipe; you might add just enough sugar to the water to get the right texture, and add more to the dry ingredients for further sweetening.
I'm not sure what the context is, but I dug up this article that mentions sugar being a wet ingredient when baking certain items such as cake. A quick summary from the article:
"...the general idea is that Sugar and Water are Best Friends Forever, and they swear that nothing will ever separate them."
I'm guessing basically sugar is used with water (as opposed to being kept undissolved as a solid) so much that this is why it is considered 'wet,' at least in the context the article talks about.
Hope this helps!

Aircraft operators and organisations involved in aviation safety will soon have access to a new method of submitting written notifications to the ATSB of aviation safety matters.
This method will allow operators and organisations to report out of their own safety management systems or reporting software and directly transfer accident and incident notifications to the ATSB notification system.
This new option is set to significantly improve the way aviation transport safety matters are reported to the ATSB.
How it works
To ensure that accident and incident data reported to the ATSB is compatible with the ATSB's notification system, we have developed an 'XML schema' that is available upon request through the ATSB website.
The schema will provide a framework for organisations and software vendors to develop and automate accident and incident reporting solutions in a format compatible with the ATSB notification system.
Before we roll out the schema, we're offering an opportunity for interested parties to review and evaluate a draft version.
We're particularly keen to engage with software vendors and operators of safety management systems who are looking to either update existing systems or build new systems that are capable of using the ATSB's schema for reporting accidents and incidents.
Once the final schema is released, the ATSB will provide a section on its website where software vendors and safety management system providers can apply to have their compatible reporting systems listed as being 'ATSB Reporting Compliant'.
This listing option will be conditional on the ATSB validating that the outputs of any reporting system are fully compliant with schema and the ATSB's notification system.
The ATSB's current options for reporting incidents and accidents include a web form, email, fax, post and electronic formats. Within the next 12 months, the ATSB will move towards only accepting electronic formats for the submission of written accident and incident notifications.
This means that aircraft operators and organisations will eventually need to report aviation transport safety matters to the ATSB via their compatible reporting solution or through the ATSB's web notification form. The ATSB will keep you updated on the new reporting requirements over the coming months.
Irrespective of the schema's implementation, users need to ensure that they are compliant with all aspects of the aviation accident and incident reporting requirements of the Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003 or any other applicable statutory instrument.
Prior to receiving the schema details, users will need to accept the license terms and conditions associated with its use, which will be supplied by the ATSB.
A licence for use of the schema will be provided in accordance with the terms of Creative Commons Licence Attribution CC BY 3.0.

Middle schoolers pass out after taking drugs
OKLAHOMA CITY -- School officials say two 8th graders at Webster Middle School showed up at school under the influence of drugs Thursday morning.
Oklahoma City Schools Spokesperson Tierney Tinnin said, "One student passed out in the hallway and then a few minutes later we had the other one pass out in class."
EMSA paramedics rushed to the scene.
When the students regained consciousness, they told officials, they used a dangerous combination of marijuana and Xanax before coming to school.
Both were taken to an area hospital.
EMSA Field Operations Supervisor Colin Roy said parents need to know the physical signs of drug use.
"A change in sleep patterns, unclear speech pattern and appearing more groggy are all signs. Also heavier eyes, slower breathing and slower movement are also warning signs."
There is no word on the condition of those students but school administrators said both were conscious when EMSA medics transported them to the hospital.

This hearty recipe is part of the traditional Acadian cuisine. It was – and still is – one of the favorite meals of Acadians, at least in the region of southeast New Brunswick.
Origin: Grand-Pré National Historic Site
Region: Atlantic (Nova Scotia)
Course: Main Course
Painting of The Harvest by artist Claude Picard© Parks Canada
Bouilli (boiled dinner) is a traditional Acadian meal. All of the ingredients would have been found in the bountiful gardens and farms of the Acadians in the area of Grand Pré. It was no doubt among the meals that the Acadian women prepared during the voyage from Grand-Pré to the Anglo-American colonies in the fall of 1755. In fact, the provision lists of the deportation boats included most of the ingredients – cabbage, turnips, potatoes and salt beef instead of salt pork.
- 5 oz | 150 g salt pork (cut in small cubes and sautéed until browned)
- 3-3½ lbs | 1.5 kg pork loin
- 1 lb | 500 g cabbage, cut in eight pieces
- 1 lb | 500 potatoes, peeled and cut in large chunks
- ½ lb | 250 g white turnip
- ½ lb | 250 g carrots, cut in 1-1½-inch (3-4 cm) pieces, then cut in half or quarters
- ½ lb | 250 g green or yellow beans (fresh or salted)
- In a large pot, cover the meat with water and bring to a boil. When almost cooked, add the vegetables beginning with the cabbage, carrots and turnips, then followed by potatoes and beans; bring all to a boil and cook until just done.
- The cabbage is usually cut into eight pieces, while the turnip is cut into round slices or half moons. Potatoes are cut into fairly large pieces, while the carrots are cut into 3 to 4 cm long pieces and split into two or four pieces depending on the size of the carrot. As for the beans, they are left intact, as is the pork. The pork tenderloin can be substituted with pork legs.
- Note: The original recipe uses salt pork instead of pork loin. If you choose to use salt pork and also salted beans, you will need to remove the salt before adding them to the other ingredients. To do this, cover the salt pork and salted beans with water and boil for about 10 minutes; drain and recover with fresh water. Repeat. Test the meat and beans; if still too salty, repeat a third time and then add to the rest of the ingredients.
- The quantity of vegetables − carrots, potatoes and beans − varies depending on taste. One large cabbage and one large turnip are usually sufficient, but more can be added if desired. Likewise more or less pork can be used.

What Are Folding Bike Tires |What Makes Them Unique?
How many of us have ever been on a lengthy bike trip and suddenly had a tire blow out? In some cases, it's an easy fix with a patch kit, but what if the damage is too extensive for such measures?
As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Unless he or she were carrying an extra tire, the only option for a cyclist in this predicament would be to push the bike to the nearest place that sold bike tires or call for a ride.
Folding bike tires can change all of that.
What Is a Folding Bike Tire?
What Is a Folding Bike Tire?
Unlike standard bike tires with beads and bundles of steel wire, folding bike tires feature Kevlar or Aramid beads that can easily grip onto the wheel's rim hook. While the standard steel wire tires can be awkward to lug along with you on a trip, these foldable tires are flexible and easily packed for travel.
You can toss a folding bike tire into your carry-on, backpack, or purse and take it on your commute. Most foldable bike tires will have a higher thread count or dual-compound tread to make them more durable and give you a smoother ride.
They also weigh less than traditional bike tires, which contributes to their ease of mobility. By carrying along a foldable bike tire, you can ride with peace of mind, knowing that if you pop a tire, you have a backup right there in your bag.
Differences Between Folding Bike Tires and Regular Bike Tires
Differences Between Folding Bike Tires and Regular Bike Tires
Of course, the differences between folding bike tires and regular bike tires make the folding ones unique. Knowing these differences can help you decide which type of tires is best for you.
As mentioned, folding bike tire strands are made with Kevlar or other flexible materials instead of the steel cables used in regular bike tires. Kevlar is strong and durable enough to last for long trips but lightweight enough to carry without much inconvenience.
The flexibility of the folding bike tire makes it much easier to install on your bike than a regular bike tire. It will stretch to fit over the rim so you can put it in place more quickly.
The rubber in the tread of folding bike tires is somewhat softer than that in regular bike tires. This gives them a better grip on most riding surfaces but can also cause them to wear out a bit faster than traditional tires.
It is possible to find folding bike tires that offer similar durability to regular bike tires; however, they will be a bit more pricey. These tires feature several rubber blends, whereas many folding bike tires are made from a single rubber blend.
Speaking of price, that is another difference between a folding bike tire and a regular bike tire. A folding bike tire can cost a bit more than a traditional one, depending on which brand, quality, and style you choose.
Are Folding Bike Tires Made Exclusively for Folding Bikes?
Although the name may seem to suggest so, folding bike tires are not made exclusively for folding bikes. On the other hand, the name of the folding bike doesn't leave much to the imagination. Just as it sounds, a folding bike is a bike that easily folds up.
The purpose of having a folding bike is to save space for those who live in small apartments, etc. If cyclists have no garage or outside storage area for their bikes, they may opt for a folding bike that they can easily keep inside without taking up much space.
What makes the bike unique is the fact that you can fold it into such a small size. Of course, various folding bikes will do this differently, but the idea is to make the bike as small as possible for storage yet stable enough for all sorts of traveling.
Folding bike tires are perfect for folding bikes in that they are easily stored in small spaces, but they are also great for many other types as well. This list includes electric bikes, hybrids, road bikes, bikes meant for long-distance travel, or bikes used for tricks and stunts.
Conclusion – Before Taking Off
Before you take off on your folding bike tires, there are a few steps that you should carry out. Since most folding bike tires don't last quite as long as regular, steel-wired ones, you should always check them for damage before engaging in any trip.
You should look for cuts, bald areas, worn spots, or irregularities – even if they have never been used. Even brand-new tires could have flaws that would make your trip a dangerous one.
Overall, folding bike tires are a great alternative to regular ones and can give you the peace of mind that you won't be stranded if you pop a tire. Feel free to browse our site for more informative posts about folding bikes, folding bike tires, and more cycling topics!

I use ArcGIS 10.1 and I am dealing with viewshed and least cost path analysis. I would like to generate a path on the basis of a cost surface taking into account the viewshed data as indicated in the paper "On applying viewshed analysis for determining least-cost paths on Digital Elevation Models" by Stucky and Lee. In order to do that the authors say:
To support the computation of the various least-cost paths discussed in this paper, two grids of visibility information should be calculated. The first is a general viewgrid (VG) that records for each cell the number of cells visible. The second is a dominance viewgrid (VD) that holds for each cell the number of cells from which the cell is visible. Both grids are constructed by calculating intervisibility between grid cells using the LoS algorithm. Two matrices are not equal because the number of cells visible from a cell does not always equal the number of cells to which that cell is visible. Next, these two visibility grids are converted to friction surfaces. These surfaces are used as the input grids to the least-cost path procedure. To do this, a few adjustments must be made to create the friction surfaces suitable for calculating viewpaths that we wish to use. For this study, we have implemented a total of four viewpaths. Each of the four viewpaths requires different friction surfaces to be setup from viewgrids.
Does someone know how to create the viewgrids and covert them into friction surfaces?


Arithmetic Mean Proof
In this post, we show that if $latex a$ and $latex b$ are real numbers and $latex a$ is less than $latex b$, then their arithmetic mean is greater than $latex a$. That is, $latex a < b$ implies
$latex a < \displaystyle \frac{a + b}{2}$.
Proof 1: Direct Proof
We know that $latex a < b$.
Dividing both sides by 2, we have
$latex \displaystyle \frac{a}{2} < \displaystyle \frac{b}{2}$.
Adding $latex \frac{a}{2}$ to both sides results to Continue reading

Conserving areas of bush and forest in cities is essential to the conservation of New Zealand's wasp species, according to research from Victoria University.
With more than 1,000 native species, wasps are an important part of New Zealand's biodiversity says Dr Rudi Schnitzler.
"Despite their fearsome reputation, very few wasps are capable of stinging humans; most tend to paralyse other insects. They play an essential role in the control of insects and are often deliberately used to control pest species such as the apple leaf roller moth in Hawke's Bay and Nelson."
Dr Schnitzler's PhD focussed on the effect diminishing amounts of native bush in urban areas has on native and introduced wasp species. He found that the greater the proximity of reserves and parks, the greater the number of wasps and the better the health and diversity of the species.
His findings are important for the conservation of urban bush and forest areas and have implications for city planners. "It's important to have many different types of plants in any section of forest or bush. The more variety in terms of species of plants, the more likely you'll find a pool of insects that nature can maintain."
He says backyard gardeners can play a part in increasing the diversity of flora and fauna of cities, especially in Wellington where sections of forest and bush are in close proximity to backyards.
Dr Schnitzler spent more than two years collecting and analysing wasps at 10 sites around the greater Wellington region.

Garden Organic to Open New Demonstration Garden
Published on June 29th 2021
Garden Organic is to open a new demonstration garden to inspire the nation to grow flowers, fruit and vegetables in a sustainable, eco-friendly manner.
The environmentally friendly demonstration garden has been created on the part of the former 22-acre Ryton Organic Gardens in Coventry, which were sold to Coventry University in 2019 and closed to the public. Garden Organic leased a smaller plot in a bid to spread the word about organic growing, with the garden now scheduled to open on 9th July after a delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
In addition to demonstrating practices and principles of organic gardening, the demonstration garden will help visitors deal with climate change challenges such as drought and flooding.

Garden Organic head gardener Emma O'Neill told Candide: "There has been a massive uptake in organic gardening. People want to know where their food has come from, and by growing your own organically, you know exactly what has gone into the soil while crops taste better.
"We will be demonstrating how best to look after the soil, showing comparisons of areas with no-dig and dug beds to see what works best, with demonstrations and trials of different mulches. Composting is a big focus at the garden, along with water-saving, enhancing biodiversity, increasing wildlife, companion planting and crop rotation techniques," Emma added.

Garden Organic's demonstration garden will be split into three areas: a kitchen garden, floral garden and main working area. Featuring a four-bed crop rotation system, the kitchen garden showcases unusual and endangered vegetable varieties preserved by Garden Organic's Heritage Seed Library.
Highlights include the Freer's Mummy Pea, rumoured to have come from the tomb of Tutankhamun, as well as Black Valentine, a dwarf French bean that was first recorded in 1897 and is cultivated at Highgrove. In addition, visitors will be able to see more than 16 types of comfrey – a plant that's ideal for making nutrient-rich organic liquid fertiliser.
Companion planting will be a key theme, focusing on how to attract a range of natural pest predators into gardens, such as ladybirds, lacewings and predatory wasps. Emma explained: "Organic gardening is about not using any pesticides or chemicals, so you need to attract beneficial insects that act as the gardener's friend. This is achieved by growing as many different varieties of plants as possible to create a more diverse garden."
With more people growing edibles in tiny gardens or living in rented accommodation, the area features a container garden and raised beds to help gardeners with limited space to grow their own.

Comprising three large beds, the floral garden will introduce gardeners to flowers suitable for hot, dry, damp and shady conditions. Displays of plants for dry environments include Hydrangea macrophylla 'Dr Jean Varnier', Achillea 'Red Velvet' and Lavandula angustifolia 'Munstead'. For visitors with poorly drained soil, recommendations include Persicaria affinis 'Superba', which provides year-round colour, and Alchemilla mollis.
Those keen to embrace organics can take inspiration from plants to attract pollinators, such as Tetrapanax papyrifer, the Chinese rice-paper plant, which is a magnet for bees, along with the coneflowers Helenium 'Wyndley' and Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm'. Other pollinator-friendly stars include Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron', which features vibrant red spikes.

The garden, which Viridian Nutrition has supported, will be home to a display of 30 alpines dedicated to Garden Organic founder Lawrence Hills – a specialist alpine grower who created displays at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. A pond area will feature, too, demonstrating how even a small pool of water can enhance biodiversity in gardens.
Visitors will also be able to explore Garden Organic's working areas such as its glasshouse and polytunnel, home to fast-growing crops such as radish, lettuce and spring onions. Masterclasses set to be delivered will encompass topics such as gardening for biodiversity, seed saving and climate-change gardening.
To enable social distancing, visits to the demonstration garden will be via pre-booked tours and courses only. Visit _URL_ for information.

Does tortellini have to be boiled?
1. Don't boil it! Toss refrigerated tortellini with a lot of sauce (the ratio should be 1 part ravioli to 2 parts sauce), then throw everything into a baking dish.
Can you eat tortellini raw?
Can you eat tortellini without cooking it? As with any uncooked food, there is a chance of cross contamination; the cheese can have listeria, the pork or beef e. Coli, the raw egg could have Salmonella. You take your chances eating it raw.
Why does tortellini float?
Only stuffed pasta like ravioli, tortellini, or mezzelune will float to the surface during cooking. This happens because the air inside them expands when heated, making the pasta noodles less dense than the water. When the noodles float, that doesn't necessarily mean that they're done.
Can you cook raw pasta in sauce?
You can cook pasta in the sauce, but you need to make sure that you're adding more liquid for the pasta to absorb. To do this, dilute the sauce until it covers the dry pasta, then continue to add more liquid whenever the pasta dries out.
Can you cook dry tortellini in sauce?
Dried "tortellini alla carne" (with meat) should be cooked in broth/stock or boiling salted water for 15 – 18 mins. My Sicilian brother in law recommends stock. With all pastas, you'll want to bring your water to a boil and then back off to a relative simmer before adding your pasta.
Is tortellini pre cooked?
Is tortellini already cooked? The filling is almost always precooked so it is not relevant unless you are pregnant. … The interior can be ham and that's fine, if you have a meat tortellini is a mixture of various types of meat such as pork and raw pork is not suitable.
Is tortellini always stuffed?
Traditionally they are stuffed with a mix of meat (pork loin, raw prosciutto, mortadella), Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, egg and nutmeg and served in capon broth (in brodo di cappone).
|The distinctive shape of tortellini|
|Alternative names||Belly button|
|Cookbook: Tortellini Media: Tortellini|
What happens if you overcook tortellini?
The starch can also be digested in a gradual manner, which prevents blood sugar spikes. Raw pasta is not easy to digest because the body's digestive enzymes cannot adhere to it, whereas overcooked pasta tends to form a sticky dough in the digestive tract, which blocks digestion.
Is tortellini safe for pregnancy?
If your ricotta cheese is made from pasteurized milk, there's no harm in including it in your diet during pregnancy.

What Is the Frost Line in Colorado?
Colorado, known for its stunning landscapes and diverse climate, is a state that experiences harsh winters. One crucial factor to consider when building any structure in Colorado is the frost line. The frost line, also referred to as the freezing depth or frost depth, is the depth at which the ground freezes during the coldest winter temperatures. Understanding the frost line is essential for constructing durable and stable foundations, avoiding costly repairs, and ensuring the safety of structures in this beautiful state.
How Does the Frost Line Affect Construction?
The frost line plays a significant role in construction as it determines how deep foundations and footings need to be to prevent damage from freezing and thawing cycles. If a foundation is not deep enough, the frozen ground can heave and cause structural damage. Knowing the frost line is crucial for builders and homeowners to prevent issues related to soil movement and shifting foundations.
What Is the Average Frost Line in Colorado?
The average frost line in Colorado varies across the state due to its diverse topography and climate. In most areas, the frost line ranges from 36 to 42 inches (91 to 107 cm) deep. However, in some mountainous regions, it can reach depths of up to 60 inches (152 cm). It is important to consult local building codes or professionals to determine the specific frost line depth for a particular location.
Why Does the Frost Line Vary in Different Areas of Colorado?
The frost line depth varies in different areas of Colorado due to several factors, including elevation, temperature variations, and soil conditions. Higher elevations experience colder temperatures, resulting in a deeper frost line. Additionally, certain soil types, such as clay, retain more moisture and freeze at shallower depths compared to sandy or well-drained soils.
How Does the Frost Line Impact Plumbing?
The frost line has a significant impact on plumbing systems in Colorado. Water lines that are not buried below the frost line are susceptible to freezing and bursting, leading to expensive repairs. To prevent this, water lines should be installed below the frost line to ensure they remain unaffected by freezing temperatures.
Do I Need to Consider the Frost Line for Above-Ground Structures?
While the frost line mainly affects foundations, it is still essential to consider it for above-ground structures. Structures such as decks, fences, and retaining walls should be built with a solid foundation below the frost line to prevent shifting or heaving during freeze-thaw cycles. Neglecting to account for the frost line can result in structural instability and potential damage.
How Can I Determine the Frost Line Depth for My Property?
To determine the frost line depth for a specific property in Colorado, it is best to consult local building codes, contact the county's building department, or seek advice from a professional engineer or architect. These professionals have the knowledge and expertise to analyze local conditions and provide accurate information regarding the frost line depth.
How Can I Protect My Structure from Frost Damage?
To protect structures from frost damage, it is crucial to ensure proper foundations and footings are built below the frost line. Additionally, insulating below-ground pipes and using frost-resistant materials can help prevent freezing and bursting. Regular maintenance and inspection of structures can also identify potential issues and allow for early intervention, reducing the risk of frost-related damage.
In conclusion, understanding the frost line in Colorado is essential for any construction project. By considering the frost line depth, builders and homeowners can construct durable and stable foundations, protect plumbing systems, and prevent costly repairs. It is always advisable to consult local building codes and professionals to ensure compliance and make informed decisions when constructing in Colorado's unique climate.

Canopy flows in the atmospheric surface layer play important economic and ecological roles, governing the dispersion of passive scalars in the environment. The interaction of high-velocity fluid and large-scale surface-mounted obstacles in canopy flows produces drag and causes intense, inhomogeneous and anisotropic turbulence. In this work, we focus on the turbulent dispersion of passive scalars by studying the 'pair dispersion' - a statistical measure of relative motion between particles. We analyse the results of a three-dimensional particle tracking velocimetry experiment in a wind-tunnel canopy flow, focusing on small scales. We confirm the existence of local isotropy of pair dispersion at scales smaller than a characteristic shear length scale, where and are the mean dissipation rate and shear rate, respectively. Furthermore, we show that pair dispersion in this locally isotropic regime is a scale-dependent super-diffusive process, similar to what occurs in homogeneous isotropic turbulent flows. In addition, we measure the pair relative velocity correlation function, showing that its de-correlation occurs in the locally isotropic regime, and discuss the implications of this observation for modelling pair dispersion. Thus, our study extends the fundamental understanding of turbulent pair dispersion to the anisotropic inhomogeneous turbulent canopy flow, bringing valuable information for modelling scalar dispersion in the atmospheric surface layer.

USS Diachenko APD-123 Model Ship (FREE SHIPPING)
Takes 6 to 8 weeks to make.
The USS Diachenko has a great history and story. The humble ship was active during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam war. Ships like the Diachenko undergo changes as it prepares for wars and ship commanders change hands. Custom models of the USS Diachecko can be fabricated in one-hundred different ways. This is because the life span of a ship can outlast humans and last for many generations. For example, the Vietnam version of this ship would have a slightly different configuration from the Vietnam war and the Korean War. Just imagine visiting Vietnam in the Heart of winter and using the same outfit in Korea. You would freeze to death. Technology changes all the time. Ships and Aircraft are retrofitted with upgraded hardware and technology. Advanced radar systems and Guns can be upgraded. These all factors in the accuracy of a ship model. A sailor serving on the Diachenko during the Korean War will want a replica of a ship that reminds him of this time on the ship. The Guns, Aircraft, and markings must be consistent with that era.

Farmscape for June 28, 2022
A Partner with Polar Pork Farms if the price of feed grain remains at its current high level, consumers can expect higher meat prices.
A combination of factors including shortages of locally produced feed grains due to last year's drought, transportation challenges due to COVID and generally higher global grain prices due to the war in Ukraine has pushed grain prices to record levels.
Florian Possberg, a partner with Polar Pork Farms, says, even at these higher prices, accessing feed grains has been difficult because it just isn't available locally.
Clip-Florian Possberg-Polar Pork Farms:
Long term one of the strengths we've had in western Canada is that we've had feed grains available to feed to our livestock.
Because of the drought and the demand for our grains in export, we really saw the pipeline of feed grains disappear locally.
What we've had to do is establish access to corn, mostly from the U.S. and Manitoba where there is some corn production there to offset our inability to access feed wheat and barley.
We've brought some corn up by rail for example, which we've never really done much of before so we were able to establish these pipelines to replace the grains that aren't available locally with corn.
It's not ideal for us to do that but we have to feed our animals so that has been a way that we can offset that loss of local production.
Possberg says, if grain prices are going to be at a higher-level longer term, there's no question that meat prices will go up because farmers can't produce long term at a loss.
He says if grain is in short supply, the price is going be higher and that will have to be reflected in our meat prices.

Education Equity Fund
Why does Philadelphia need an Education Equity Fund?
PILOTs aren't taxes–they're voluntary payments. There's no requirement for where the funds are directed. This means that it's up to us to make sure that when our city's wealthiest institutions pay their fair share, that money directly meets the needs of our students, not the priorities of outside institutions.
In other cities, mega-nonprofits have tried to "dictate what their money goes toward." Here in Philly, we know what it looks like when mega-nonprofits call the shots. In our May 5th Speak Out, we heard from Philadelphians who have been directly impacted by our School District's funding crisis. Nonprofit-driven initiatives never make up for a lack of basic necessities–teachers, textbooks, nurses, counselors, libraries, and safe and healthy school buildings.
As we fight for a more equitably funded public education system in Philadelphia, the last thing we need is a closed-door deal that gives the wealthiest institutions total control over funding for our schools.
Philadelphia needs a PILOT agreement that meets the most essential needs of our most vulnerable public school students. This means that we need Mayor Kenney to establish an Education Equity Fund for our city's mega-nonprofits to pay into via PILOTs. A publicly administered fund that directly serves the School District will be the best way to establish accountability and transparency for a stable, sustainable PILOT agreement.

Roland TR-505
Instruments Category:
Company :
The Roland TR-505 Rhythm Composer contains a group of samples mixed from both the TR-707 and TR-727, and featured 16 drum tones, with 48 patterns and 6 songs of memory. Basic and affordable, it did not offer tone editing capabilities or individual drum outputs. It did host an extensive MIDI section, making it ideal alongside a computer or sequencer.
The TR-5050 is from the same family as the Roland TR-909, TR-808, TR-707, and TR-626. Released in 1986, the unit can be used to sequence short, punchy, 12-bit samples. The drum kit includes basic rock drum sounds similar to those of the 707, plus a complement of Latin-style drum sounds similar to those of the TR-727, which was similar to the TR-707, but it had Latin instruments instead of rock drums.
The TR-505 features five basic modes, including the following:
 - Track Play - plays whole tracks (arrangements of patterns to form songs).
 - Track Write - sequence patterns into tracks.
 - Step Write - sequence patterns by stepping through each position in the pattern.
 - Tap Write - sequence patterns by tapping drums sounds in real time.
 - Real time - play patterns in real time by tapping the pads.
Time signatures other than 4/4 can be programmed by changing the length of patterns and the scale, which actually refers to the signature ratio/swing.
Midi implementation:
The unit handles MIDI quite capably. Each instrument can be assigned a level/velocity from one to five, a MIDI channel, and a MIDI note number. Individual pads also transmit MIDI data when tapped, although these aren't velocity sensitive. An accent can be applied to any position in a pattern and will affect all instruments triggered at that position by increasing their volume. The memory in the TR-505 can store up to 48 patterns in 6 songs.


NAME
YAML::PP::Schema::Merge - Enabling YAML merge keys for mappings
SYNOPSIS
 use YAML::PP;
 my $yp = YAML::PP->new( schema => [qw/ + Merge /] );
 my $yaml = <<'EOM';
 ---
 - &CENTER { x: 1, y: 2 }
 - &LEFT { x: 0, y: 2 }
 - &BIG { r: 10 }
 - &SMALL { r: 1 }
 # All the following maps are equal:
 - # Explicit keys
 x: 1
 y: 2
 r: 10
 label: center/big
 - # Merge one map
 << : *CENTER
 r: 10
 label: center/big
 - # Merge multiple maps
 << : [ *CENTER, *BIG ]
 label: center/big
 - # Override

 x: 1
 label: center/big
 EOM
 my $data = $yp->load_string($yaml);
 # $data->[4] == $data->[5] == $data->[6] == $data->[7]
DESCRIPTION
See _URL_ for the specification.
Quote:
"Specify one or more mappings to be merged with the current one.
The << merge key is used to indicate that all the keys of one or more specified maps should be inserted into the current map. If the value associated with the key is a single mapping node, each of its key/value pairs is inserted into the current mapping, unless the key already exists in it. If the value associated with the merge key is a sequence, then this sequence is expected to contain mapping nodes and each of these nodes is merged in turn according to its order in the sequence. Keys in mapping nodes earlier in the sequence override keys specified in later mapping nodes."
The implementation of this in a generic way is not trivial, because we also have to handle duplicate keys, and YAML::PP allows you to write your own handler for processing mappings.
So the inner API of that is not stable at this point.
Note that if you enable this schema, a plain scalar '<<' will be seen as special anywhere in your document, so if you want a literal '<<', you have to put it in quotes.
Note that the performed merge is not a "deep merge". Only top-level keys are merged.
