An evaluation of BOOSTER-Mag on processing tomato farming productivity
13th World Processing Tomato Congress
With the support of the Australian Processing Tomato Research Council (APTRC), Calix has worked with a northern Victoria processing tomato grower to quantify the effect of BOOSTER-Mag™ treatment on field processing tomato grower productivity over two consecutive seasons. BOOSTER-Mag™ is a new mineral derived, bio-active magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) product under development by Calix specifically as an agricultural foliar spray.
In the 15/16 season, initial split plot, multi-replicate field testing was undertaken across three commercial processing tomato farms. The objective of the testing was to quantify the effect of BOOSTER-Mag™ treatment on crop yield and quality.
The evaluation compared yield and yield quality from:
- Control fields; farmed conventionally using in-market and bench-mark pesticides applied according to observed pest and disease pressure.
- Trial fields; farmed as per the Control but with three BOOSTER-Mag™ treatments applied at 1.5kg/ha over a 33-day period, approximately at the mid-point of the growing season.
Whilst not statistically significant, hand-harvest data from all farms indicated additional treatment coincided with a numerical increase in the average yield of ripe unblemished fruit crop across three farms (by an average of 6%) and numerically substantial reduction (by an average of 67%) in the yield of insect damaged fruit. Soil and petiole testing results indicate these outcomes were unlikely to be due to macronutrient augmentation and suggest BOOSTER-Mag™ also provides a level of insect pest control.
In the 16/17 season, expanded scale BOOSTER-Mag™ field trials were undertaken over two farms. The objective of the work was to quantify any differences in farm productivity that BOOSTER-Mag™ may provide regarding yield, yield quality (pH and Brix) and conventional pesticide usage and cost. The evaluation compared crop grown as follows:
- Control fields (8 & 5 ha respectively); managed conventionally using in-market pesticides applied at label rates according to observed pest and disease pressure and industry thresholds.
- Trial fields (6 & 4 ha respectively); BOOSTER-Mag™ applied every two weeks as a base-treatment with additional pesticide treatments only if intervention thresholds were reached.
The comparative crop monitoring reports chemical spray frequency from grower spray records and hand-harvest data obtained are instructive.
Farm 1. The threshold for pesticide treatment was reached on four occasions in the Trial field, down from nine within the Control field, a 50% reduction in conventional pesticide treatments. Importantly, there was no statistically significant difference in relative yield and yield quality (assessed by both hand harvest and mechanical harvest) indicating that substituting conventional pesticides with BOOSTER-Mag™ did not compromise yield or yield quality.
Whilst the grower observed no obvious difference in insect and disease pressure between the Trial and Control fields, the presence of spiders and the activity of beneficial and parasitic insects in the Trial fields was noted and semi-quantitatively assessed.
It was further noted that over the season, the overall heliothis pressure was relatively low and Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus levels were very low. Similar outcomes were observed within Farm 2 with the exception that no conventional crop protection chemicals were used.
Randomised split plot, multi replicate field studies to quantify insect pest control and yield will be undertaken over the 17/18 season.

Why Does My Floor Machine Keep Tripping Breakers
By Frederick M. Hueston StoneForensics.com
Does your floor machines keep blowing breakers? Are you using an extension cord? If so, this may be your problem.
When it comes to operating heavy-duty floor machines, it's essential to use the right equipment and take proper safety precautions. One common issue that can arise when using these machines is blowing breakers. If you're experiencing this problem, the culprit may be the use of an extension cord.
Extension cords are a convenient way to power tools and equipment, but they can also be a safety hazard. When using a floor machine, it's important to ensure that the cord you're using is rated for the machine's amperage requirements. Using an extension cord that is not rated for the machine can cause the cord to overheat and potentially start a fire.
In addition to safety concerns, using an extension cord with a floor machine can also cause performance issues. The cord may not be able to supply enough power to the machine, causing it to run poorly or not at all. This can lead to damage to the machine's motor and other components.
To avoid these issues, it's best to avoid using extension cords with floor machines whenever possible. Instead, use a cord that is the appropriate length to reach the nearest electrical outlet. If you must use an extension cord, make sure it is rated for the amperage of the machine and that it is in good condition with no fraying or damage.
Another factor that can contribute to blowing breakers is overloading the circuit. If you're using multiple machines or tools on the same circuit, it can cause the breaker to trip. To avoid this, try to spread the use of your equipment and avoid using multiple high-amperage machines at the same time.
Blowing breakers when using a floor machine can be a frustrating and potentially dangerous problem. By following proper safety precautions and avoiding the use of extension cords whenever possible, you can help prevent this issue and keep your floor machine running smoothly.

The Role of Cold and Carbonic Maceration in Wine Production
Cold maceration is skin contact before the beginning of the fermentation process. Some winemakers allow the skins to remain in contact with the must after fermentation is finished. This is known as extended maceration.
Carbonic maceration allows grapes to ferment without intentionally breaking the skins. Must is the mixture of solids and grape juice before fermentation begins. Up to a quarter of the must is skins and other debris, known as pumice. The amount of contact with these solids is one of the major ways a winemaker can craft the wine.

text: This survey is a study of fish commercialized in Forto Velho, Rondônia, Brazil from 1934 until 1989. The area studied is the Madeira river in a region of extensive gold extraction activity and therefore subjected to mercury contamination. The results showed that from the total fish yield, the fruiteating species ranged from 39.3% (in 1984) to 49.5% (in 1989). Among them, tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) is the most captured mass. 22.9% (in 1939) to 32.5 (in 1936) of the species are detritivore and Curimata (Prochilodus nigricans) is the most important. Only 10.7% (in 1935) to 15.1%. (in 1934) are carnivore (Tucunare-Cichla spp and Pourada-Brachyplatystoma flavicans). The paper also deals with some of the ecological factors which can interfere with mercury accumulation in the food chain.

High capacity variant of DLT tapes.
Super DLT (Super Digital Linear Tape)
The SDLT is an evolution of DLT tapes originally developed by Quantum.
The management of the reading heads is done by a laser beam (LGMR). Both sides of the tape are used. One for storing data, and the other for storing tracking and positioning information. This second side that is used by the laser beam.
Thanks to the use of lasers, the accuracy of head positioning is increased, as the storage capacity.
The DLT and SDLT cartridges are the same size, measuring 105.7 mm wide x 105.4 mm long x 25.4 mm high. Tape lengths vary from 557 to 630 meters, tape width is the same for both, 12.7 mm.

Fisheries managers need to understand herring stock genetics in order to set management objectives that aid herring recovery in PWS. The purpose of this study is to use the genetic makeup of herring populations to determine if one or multiple stocks exist in Prince William Sound. For example, are the fish that spawn on Montague different than those that spawn in Port Gravina or are they different portions of one large population.
Researchers from NOAA are coordinating with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) and other researchers to collect herring samples from different spawning locations in and around Prince William Sound. Genetic markers (genes or DNA-sequences that identify the relatedness of individuals) will be used to identify the genetic identity of each herring sample, which will then be evaluated to determine how related the various spawning populations are.
Evaluation of stock genetics will allow researchers to determine if sub-populations exist in Prince William Sound. This valuable herring life history information will be used to determine if the models need to treat the spawning locations as independent or a single model for Prince William Sound herring can be used.

text: 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data let f:[0,oo) -> R be given by f(x) = sin(x) / x for x>0 and f(0) = c. Prove that f is improper riemann integrable without computing the integral explicitly 3. The attempt at a solution I've attempted to find a upperbound for f(x) such that the integral does not diverge. The most simple one is to use the fact that sin(x) <= 1 for all x, but this gives a divergent integral. I've already proved that f is Lebesgue measurable for every c in R. So I could turn the integral [tex]\int_0^R f(x) dx[/tex] into a Lebesgue integral and then use one of the convergence theorems to try to show with them that the integral does not diverge. But I haven't succeded in doing this :( Can anyone help me out?

As family historians venture into cemeteries to look for more clues about their ancestors many wonder what, if anything, the symbols on headstones mean.
While most headstone symbols do have a textbook meaning, many were chosen simply because the person who died requested such a design, or because the person choosing the headstone liked how it looked. They may not have realised their chosen design had meaning. Fashion also played a big part, as did the need to impress. Therefore the true representation of a headstone symbol may never be known.
Nevertheless, it's interesting to know the potential meanings behind various symbols. Here are some examples I've found in the rural cemeteries of Canterbury, New Zealand.

Automating the Cure Process
Letters can be generated for Cure and Notification of Sales (NOS) events. Triggering letter generation through a button click initiates the business service method to call the cure letter generation. Administrators create the correspondence template and define rules before generating the cure letter and then they monitor accounts that meet cure conditions.
Administrators send cure letters to customers who are in default, typically these type of letters explain that their account is delinquent before initiating a vehicle repossession process. In addition to this type of generic letter, administrators can also send letters for notice of sale after repossessing a car from a customer. Administrators first create a correspondence template for these types of letters using Word. Next they add the template to the Correspondence Templates view and then associate the template to existing rules. To select the appropriate template and generate the letter, perform the procedures that follow.
To add correspondence templates
 1. Navigate to Administration - Document > Correspondence Templates view.
 2. In the Templates list, click New File.
 3. In the Choose File dialog, select the template file and click Open.
 4. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for each template you want to add.

The Prioress attempts to be dainty and well-bred, and Chaucer makes fun of her by describing how she speaks French with a terrible accent and sings the liturgy straight through her nose. Although the Prioress should be devoted to Christ, she is more concerned with worldly matters: her clothes are richly bedecked, and her coral rosary that says "Love conquers all" serves as a decorative piece rather than a religious article.

The Boise area, also known as the Treasure Valley, is drier and warmer than other parts of southern and central Idaho where summers can seem short, the winters bleak. The average annual precipitation is just 11.7 inches per year. It's also milder than other arid regions of the western US, where summer feels like an oven every other day. The distinct four seasons in the Treasure Valley also offer year-round activities with something for everyone to enjoy.
What's the Winter Weather Like in Boise?
Winter Snow? Of course. The average winter season snowfall, mainly mid-November through early February, is 21 inches. While that can sound like a lot, many locals will tell you most of the snow falls one inch at a time, at night, and melts away the same day. In fact, the coldest days of the season are normally from December 21st to January 6th, but the normal high for those days is 36 degrees, including Christmas and New Year's Day.
December is the wettest month of the year in Boise, with a monthly average of 5½ inches of snow and about an inch of rain (measured as 1.55 inches of total precipitation). If you're dreaming of a white Christmas, you just might find it here. In the last decade, snow was falling and/or on the ground for seven Christmases. Four times there was one inch, the other three of those holidays it was four or more inches of snow.
January gets an average of seven inches of snow per year, but the average daily high temperature is about 38 degrees. December's average high is just under 37.5 degrees. But it does get colder. For the last 20 years, the temperature has dipped below 0 degrees 9 times each in December and January. In terms of annual occurrences, that translates to .43 days below 0 per year in each of the two months.
February's average high temperature is 44 degrees, and usually, a little more than four inches of snow will fall. Snowfall can linger into the spring, with the average last measurable snow in any given year on March 24th. November can get about two inches of snow in an average year, March about 1½ inches.
What's the Spring Like in Boise?
Spring Showers? You betcha. March, April, and May each experience between 1¼ and 1½ inches of precipitation in an average year. While this doesn't sound like much, it's quadruple what falls during July or August. Average temperatures rise steadily through the spring, with average highs of 55, 62, and 72 degrees in the three months. The average high on Easter is 61 degrees.
Spring also gets leftover snow and some frost. In the last 20 years, there has been measurable snow in March 16 times, but only 6 times in April, and none in May. There have been traces of snow in May and even June, but not enough to measure. In an average year, the last day of a hard freeze (28 degrees) is April 19th, and the last day for frost (32 degrees) is May 8th.
What's the Summer Like in Boise?
Summer Storms? Not that many. July and August are the driest months of the year, with an average rainfall of just 1/3 inch and ¼ inch, respectively. Thunderstorms do occur, but the monsoon moisture that brings summer showers to states south and east of here avoid Boise.
July and August are also the hottest months of the year, with daily average high temperatures of 91 and 90 degrees. These mid-summer months also experience the most frequent days with 100+ degree temperatures. For the last 20 years, there was an average of 10.3 occurrences of 100+ degrees each year, 64% were in July (6½ times per year) and 24% were in August (2½ per year). On the 4th of July, expect an average high of 89 degrees, with sunset at 9:29 PM.
June, September, and October are also fairly dry, each seeing only ½ to ¾ inch of rain per year. The dry air and light summer rain make the Treasure Valley an ideal place to grow vegetable seeds, such as corn, onions, and carrots.
What's the Fall Like in Boise?
Fun in the Fall? For sure! Fall is a beautiful season in Boise. The least windy time of year and the overall most pleasant weather is from mid-September through October. Temperatures are beginning to drop in October, however. In average years the first day of frost (32 degrees) is October 10th, and the first day of hard freeze is October 23rd.
Although the first frost and hard freeze occur before the end of October, Halloween itself usually has a low of 35 and a high of 56 degrees. The crisp fall air makes the day feel just right.
The average first day of measurable snow in Boise every winter is just in time for Thanksgiving, November 22. Thanksgiving's annual forecast calls for a high of 44 degrees and a low of 27, just right for football. An average November sees 2.6 inches of snow, but there is usually no snow on the ground for Thanksgiving.
Windy City? Not really. The Treasure Valley runs from the northwest at Ontario, Oregon, 90 miles to southeast at Mountain Home, Idaho, and is about 45 miles wide. The Boise Mountains to the northeast and Owyhee Range to the southwest frame the Treasure Valley and each have peaks above 8,000 feet. This creates a regular wind pattern of flows from northwest to southeast – and vice versa. Because Boise and the other towns in the Treasure Valley area also lower than the Boise Foothills, higher winds often stay aloft.
But that doesn't mean there aren't ever any strong winds. On the contrary, especially in Ontario or Mountain Home. As in many locations, spring is the windiest time of year with unsettled air masses moving over the continent. In winter the Treasure Valley can also experience inversions, trapping cold hazy air close to the ground while milder air passes over. The least windy time of year is from mid-September through October.
What Else? We can talk about the weather all day, but you can't find a better four-season climate than right here. Experience it for yourself!

- zany (noun)
- What does it mean?
- 1 : clown2 : a silly or foolish person
- How do you use it?
- "And what a zany an old chap must be, to light a bonfire when there's no youngsters to please." (Thomas Hardy, _Return of the Native_)
- Are you a word wiz?
Who do you think first used the word "zany" in English?You may be more familiar with the adjective "zany," but "zany" was first introduced to English by William Shakespeare as a noun. In Shakespeare's play _Love's Labour's Lost_ (written around 1594), one of the characters looks for a zany who "knows the trick to make my Lady laugh." That was the first known use of "zany" in English, but the word had been part of Italian plays long before that. In Italian plays, the "zany" was a character who mimicked everyone else on stage. That goofy pest was always called "Zanni," a nickname for "Giovanni," the Italian form of "John." When English speakers adopted the character, they took his name too, and gradually transformed it into the modern word "zany."

Black spots growing on herbs- basil and oregano
Black spots on the upper leaves of your basil plants could be caused by a fungus, feeding from insects, or could be a response to adverse environmental conditions. If only the upper leaves are affected, I'd suggest trimming them off and watching the plants closely to see if the problem redevelops. Basil responds well to trimming, and likely will grow back thicker and leafier than ever.


Foundation Baseline Assessment
What is the reception baseline assessment?
The reception baseline assessment is a new national assessment that will be administered in reception classes in all primary, infant and first schools in England. This will form the baseline for primary progress measures, allowing schools to receive credit for the progress their pupils make throughout their time in primary school. It is intended that this will be introduced in autumn 2020.
Why is it being introduced?
An information video for parents about the reception baseline assessment (RBA) can be found here. This will provide information to help yopu, as parents to understand a little more about what the assessment is, how it will be carried out and why it is being introduced.
A pilot for the assessment is being carriued out in September 2019. At Crawford Village Primary School, we have taken the decision to be part of this pilot as we feel this presents an opportunity to start to understand what the baseline will mean for our school in more detail.

The Maldives: A Pivotal Conduit for Sanctions-Dodging Shipments to Russia
Unveiling the Unseen Role of the Maldives
Renowned for its azure waters and year-round sun, the Maldives is a popular destination for holidaymakers and honeymooners. But beneath the veneer of this idyllic paradise lurks an unseen role – a key transit point for shipments circumventing sanctions against Russia. This revelation comes from a report by Nikkei Asia, which includes the transfer of US-made semiconductors to Russia.
Analyzing the Surge in Semiconductor Shipments
An analysis of Russian customs clearance data reveals that around 400,000 US-made semiconductors, with a combined worth of $53.6 million, were shipped to Russia via the Maldives in the year following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. These shipments were valued at over $50,000 each, placing the Maldives second only to China, including Hong Kong, in terms of such imports in the year after the invasion. Notably, there were no records of such semiconductor shipments from the Maldives to Russia prior to the invasion.
The Economic Impact
The total value of these shipments equates to a staggering 20% of the Maldives' total exports in 2021, which amounted to around $280 million. This sudden surge in economic activity is significant for the island nation, raising questions about the broader implications of this clandestine trade.
Correlating the Resumption of Flights and Semiconductor Shipments
Interestingly, a sharp increase in semiconductor shipments was noted in May 2022, coinciding with the resumption of flights between Male, the Maldivian capital, and Moscow by Russian airline Aeroflot. These flights had been suspended following the invasion of Ukraine in February, suggesting a correlation between aerial connectivity and the movement of these goods.
Unmasking the Exporters
According to the customs data, 14 exporters were involved in shipping semiconductors from the Maldives to Russia. None of these companies appear to be based in the Maldives, raising further questions about the real origins of these shipments. Among them is the London-based Mykines Corp, which exported roughly $40 million worth of chips, accounting for 80% of the total shipments.
The Role of Freight Forwarders
Freight forwarders or intermediaries that link shippers and transporters and manage customs procedures on their behalf are crucial to these shipments. The number two company on the list, Hong Kong-based Pixel Devices, confirmed its exports to Russian companies, claiming strict adherence to export control laws applicable to Hong Kong entities and denying any violation of applicable regulations. However, the company declined to comment on potential sanctions violations against Russia or questions about the Maldives.
Unraveling the Intricacies of Sanctions-Dodging
This expose of the Maldives' role in enabling sanctions-skirting shipments to Russia underscores the complexities and the often unseen dimensions of international trade. As governments and international bodies impose sanctions to exert political pressure, the ingenuity of those seeking to evade these restrictions continues to challenge these efforts. The case of the Maldives serves as a stark reminder of the need for robust mechanisms to monitor and enforce these sanctions effectively.

You should now be seeing some "hill-like" structure that mimics the curve of the distance mask when the stamp preview is enabled, depending on the height of the stamper it should either be a hill or a valley in your existing terrains:
2. Position the Stamper exactly above the edge you want to blend away. You can experiment a bit with the height to decide at which height the transition should take place:
3. In theory you can stamp now and the two terrains will be merged according to the stamp preview. However you will notice that the seam area will look a bit bland and featureless. You can change this by adding an additional image mask, then selecting a stamp image that shows interesting features that you would like to see in the transition:
Keep in mind that you can just open the stamp browser to flip through the available stamps,the preview will update accordingly:
If you are happy with the result, you can press the stamp button, and you should see your stamp / edge being replaced with the transition you just created. Here are the two terrains from the example setup at the beginning:
If you don't like the transition taking place over such a large area across your world, you can also fine tune the curve, but if you overdo it, it might become obvious that thereis some sort of artifical transition going on between the terrains:

Political Financing Handbook for Leadership Contestants and Financial Agents (EC 20195) – January 2022
This chapter explains the rules and procedures for accepting and sending transfers. It covers the following topics:
- What is a transfer?
- Transfers sent to the leadership contestant
- Transfers sent by the leadership contestant
- Party memberships purchased by the leadership contestant's campaign
- Irregular transfers
What is a transfer?
A transfer is a provision of funds, property or services between specified political entities of the same political affiliation. Where specifically permitted under the Canada Elections Act, a transfer is not considered to be a contribution, and contribution rules therefore do not apply.
|Monetary transfer||Non-monetary transfer|
|A monetary transfer is a transfer of funds.||A non-monetary transfer is a transfer of property or services. The amount of a non-monetary transfer is the commercial value of the property or service.
Unlike non-monetary contributions from individuals not in the business of providing that property or service, a non-monetary transfer has to be reported even if its commercial value is $200 or less.
Transfers are permitted only between related political entities (registered party, electoral district association, candidate and leadership or nomination contestant) of the same political affiliation.
However, not all types of entities are authorized to provide all types of transfers. For a quick reference guide to eligible and ineligible transfers, see the Transfers—types and rules table in Chapter 1, Reference Tables and Timelines.
Note: If an invoice requiring payment is prepared by one political entity and sent to its related political entity, together with the original supplier invoice representing the commercial value of the goods or services provided, this is not a transfer but a sale of goods or services from one entity to another.
Transfers sent to the leadership contestant's campaign
Only the financial agent or leadership campaign agents can accept transfers on the campaign's behalf. The following transfers may be accepted by the leadership contestant's campaign:
- property or services from the registered party or from any registered association of the registered party, as long as it is offered equally to all contestants
- funds in the form of directed contributions from the registered party
The registered party creates a web page on its site for each leadership contestant for use during the contest period. The commercial value of creating the web pages is $150 per contestant. The party sends each contestant a copy of the original supplier invoice for $150 and reports a non-monetary transfer of $150 to each contestant. Each contestant reports a non-monetary transfer from the party and a leadership contest expense of $150.
Note: Transfers may not be accepted from provincial parties or electoral district associations of provincial parties. Transfers from a registered provincial division of a federal registered party are considered transfers from the registered party.
Transfers sent by the leadership contestant's campaign
Only the financial agent or leadership campaign agents can send transfers on the campaign's behalf.
The following transfers may be sent by the leadership contestant's campaign:
- funds to the registered party
- funds to a registered association of the party
After contest day, the financial agent pays all campaign expenses and calculates $3,000 in surplus funds. The financial agent transfers $3,000 to a registered association of the party to dispose of the surplus.
Party memberships purchased by the leadership contestant's campaign
Voting in a leadership contest is generally restricted to party members. For this reason, a leadership contestant's campaign will sometimes buy party memberships for its supporters. This is not prohibited by the Canada Elections Act. When a leadership campaign pays for memberships, the payment is recorded as a transfer to the registered party.
More commonly, a campaign will collect party membership fees from individuals, deposit the funds into its bank account and then send the funds to the registered party. This transaction is also a transfer. If the membership fee is no more than $25 per year for a period of no more than five years, the individuals have not made contributions and the registered party does not need additional information from the campaign. Above those thresholds, the campaign will need to provide the registered party with details to record contributions from the individuals.
Note: Some registered parties have internal rules that prohibit contestants from buying memberships for supporters. Campaigns should be aware of the rules that apply to their contest.
When the leadership contestant's campaign sends or accepts a transfer that is not permitted under the Canada Elections Act, the consequences will depend on the sender, recipient and transfer type.
The tables below deal with irregular transfers between affiliated political entities only.
|Recipient of irregular transfer sent by leadership contestant||Transfer type||Consequence|
|Candidate||Monetary||Improper surplus disposal with offence for sender; not a contribution|
|Candidate||Non-monetary||If capital asset, improper surplus disposal with offence for sender; not a contribution*|
|Non-monetary||If capital asset, improper surplus disposal with offence for sender; not a contribution*|
*Remaining non-capital assets or services can be provided to the candidate, association or party, but they must either be sold to that political entity or contributed by the contestant as a personal non-monetary contribution.
After contest day, the leadership contestant's campaign gives tablets it had purchased for $300 each to the registered association in the contestant's riding. This is not an allowable transfer. It is an improper disposal of surplus by the contestant that will need to be corrected. To properly dispose of the tablets, which are capital assets, the campaign should have sold the tablets at fair market value and transferred the proceeds of the sale to the association or party.
|Sender of irregular transfer accepted by leadership contestant||Transfer type||Consequence|
|Monetary||Prohibited transfer with offences for sender and recipient; not a contribution|
|Non-monetary, not offered equally to all contestants||Prohibited transfer with offence for sender; not a contribution|
*If the transfer is non-monetary and the candidate offered it equally to all contestants, it is not a contribution. It may be an improper surplus disposal.
A leadership contestant's campaign accepts funds from another campaign whose contestant plans to withdraw. This is not an allowable transfer. It is an illegal contribution. Within 30 days of becoming aware of the contravention, the financial agent must return the contribution to the sender (if unused) or remit the amount to Elections Canada.
For a detailed discussion of this topic, please refer to Elections Canada's interpretation note 2020-07, Irregular Transfers Between Affiliated Political Entities, on the Elections Canada website.

A bog is a unique type of wetland dominated by organic soil known as peat; bogs are known for unusual plants such as the carnivorous pitcher plant and sundew. This area has been the subject of many ecological studies. A 1/4-mile trail leads from the parking lot to the bog overlook and interpretive signs. Please be sensitive to the fragile nature of this ecosystem when visiting; even sporadic foot traffic off the trails can permanently damage the vegetation. The parking lot is on State Road (S.

UK researchers develop ultrasonic needle
A University of Glasgow-led project, which is developing this new type of surgical needle, is one of 15 engineering projects to share in 12.2 million pounds of funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
Margaret Lucas, Professor of Ultrasonics at the University's School of Engineering, and her partner researchers at the Universities of Dundee and Edinburgh have received 982,000 pounds to support three years of work to develop a needle which vibrates at ultrasonic frequencies.
Previous ultrasonic cutting technology developed by Prof Lucas and her team is capable of removing the shell of an egg without damaging the membrane below.
The technology would allow doctors to penetrate bone with needles with much less force than is currently required, improving the effectiveness of biopsies and allowing a more effective delivery of drugs to parts of the body obscured by bone.
Ultrasonic needles could also make it easier for doctors to penetrate areas of hard tissue without affecting the surrounding soft tissue.
Previous research carried out by Professor Lucas has led to the development of ultrasonic cutting tools precise enough to remove sections from the shell of an egg without breaking the membrane underneath.
Professor Lucas said: "We've been working for several years to explore the applications of ultrasonic vibrations to allow surgeons to cut through bone more quickly and easily, and we're excited about the potential of applying

Troubleshoot Azure Files
This article lists common issues related to Azure Files. It also provides possible causes and resolutions for these problems.
If you can't find an answer to your question, you can contact us through the following channels (in escalating order):
- Microsoft Q&A question page for Azure Files.
- Azure Community Feedback.
- Microsoft Support. To create a new support request, sign into the Azure portal, and on the Help tab, select the Help + support button, and then select New support request.
|File share type||SMB||NFS|
|Standard file shares (GPv2), LRS/ZRS|
|Standard file shares (GPv2), GRS/GZRS|
|Premium file shares (FileStorage), LRS/ZRS|
General troubleshooting first steps
If you encounter problems with Azure Files, start with these steps. You can also use the Azure file shares troubleshooter, which can help with problems connecting, mapping, and mounting Azure file shares.
Check DNS resolution and connectivity to your Azure file share
The most common problem encountered by Azure Files customers is that mounting or accessing the Azure file share fails because of an incorrect networking configuration. This can happen with any of the three file sharing protocols that Azure Files supports: SMB, NFS, and FileREST.
The following table provides the SMB, NFS, and FileREST requirements for which of the network endpoints of a storage account they can use, and which port that endpoint can be accessed over. To learn more about network endpoints, see Azure Files networking considerations.
|Protocol name||Unrestricted public endpoint||Restricted public endpoint||Private endpoint||Required port|
To mount or access a file share successfully, your client must:
Be able to resolve the fully qualified domain name of the storage account (ex.
mystorageaccount.file.core.windows.net) to the correct IP address for the desired network endpoint of the storage account.
Establish a successful TCP connection to the correctly resolved IP address on the correct port for the desired protocol.
You must use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for your storage account when mounting/accessing the share. The following commands will let you see the current IP addresses of the network endpoints of your storage account, but you should not hardcode these IP addresses into any scripts, firewall configurations, or other locations. IP addresses aren't guaranteed to remain the same, and may change at any time.
Check DNS name resolution
The following command lets you test the DNS name resolution of your storage account.
# If you have changed the DNS configuration in your environment, it may be helpful to clear # the DNS client cache to ensure you're getting the updated DNS name resolution. Clear-DnsClientCache # Replace this value with the fully qualified domain name for your storage account. # Different storage accounts, especially in different Azure environments, # may have different suffixes than file.core.windows.net, so be sure to use the correct # suffix for your storage account. $hostName = "mystorageaccount.file.core.windows.net" # Do the name resolution. Piping to Format-List is optional. Resolve-DnsName -Name $hostName | Format-List
The output returned by
Resolve-DnsName may be different depending on your environment and desired networking configuration. For example, if you are trying to access the public endpoint of the storage account that does not have a private endpoint configured, you would see a result that looks like the following, where
x.x.x.x is the IP address of the cluster
file.phx10prdstf01a.store.core.windows.net of the Azure storage platform that serves your storage account:
Name : mystorageaccount.file.core.windows.net Type : CNAME TTL : 27 Section : Answer NameHost : file.phx10prdstf01a.store.core.windows.net Name : file.phx10prdstf01a.store.core.windows.net QueryType : A TTL : 60 Section : Answer IP4Address : x.x.x.x
If you are trying to access the public endpoint of a storage account that has one or more private endpoints configured, you would expect to see a result that looked something like the following. Note that an additional CNAME record for
mystorageaccount.privatelink.file.core.windows.net has been inserted in between the normal FQDN of the storage account and the name of storage cluster. This enables name resolution to the public endpoint's IP address when the user is accessing from the internet, and resolution to the private endpoint's IP address when the user is accessing from inside of an Azure virtual network (or peered network).
Name : mystorageaccount.file.core.windows.net Type : CNAME TTL : 60 Section : Answer NameHost : mystorageaccount.privatelink.file.core.windows.net Name : mystorageaccount.privatelink.file.core.windows.net Type : CNAME TTL : 60 Section : Answer NameHost : file.phx10prdstf01a.store.core.windows.net Name : file.phx10prdstf01a.store.core.windows.net QueryType : A TTL : 60 Section : Answer IP4Address : x.x.x.x
If you are resolving to a private endpoint, you would normally expect an A record for
mystorageaccount.privatelink.file.core.windows.net that maps to your private endpoint's IP address:
Name : mystorageaccount.file.core.windows.net Type : CNAME TTL : 53 Section : Answer NameHost : mystorageaccount.privatelink.file.core.windows.net Name : mystorageaccount.privatelink.file.core.windows.net QueryType : A TTL : 10 Section : Answer IP4Address : 10.0.0.5
Check TCP connectivity
The following command lets you test your client's ability to make a TCP connection to the resolved IP address/port number.
# Replace this value with the fully qualified domain name for your storage account. # Different storage accounts, especially in different Azure environments, # may have different suffixes than file.core.windows.net, so be sure to use the correct # suffix for your storage account. $hostName = "mystorageaccount.file.core.windows.net" # Do the TCP connection test - see the above protocol/port table to figure out which # port to use for your test. This test uses port 445, the port used by SMB. Test-NetConnection -ComputerName $hostName -Port 445
If the connection was successfully established, you should expect to see the following result:
ComputerName : mystorageAccount.file.core.windows.net RemoteAddress : x.x.x.x RemotePort : 445 InterfaceAlias : Ethernet SourceAddress : y.y.y.y TcpTestSucceeded : True
Both Windows clients and Linux clients can use
AzFileDiagnostics to ensure that the client environment has the correct prerequisites.
AzFileDiagnostics automates symptom detection and helps set up your environment to get optimal performance.

On Monday, 2 February, at 16:30, in an open meeting of the Medical Promotion Council of Rīga Stradiņš University which will take place in the Hippocrates Lecture Theatre (Rīga, 16 Dzirciema Street), Marija Rusaka will defend her doctoral thesis "Acute and Transient Psychotic Disorder (ATPD) Dynamic Development and Peculiarities in Diagnostics and Treatment in Latvia".
Acute and transient psychotic disorders (ATPD) are characterized by acute psychosis (general term for the type of mental state, often involving a loss of contact with reality), varied symptomatology, and rapid resolution. Currently the role of researches on ATPT becomes increasingly significant, as scientists get involved in active discussions on the options to change the classification of ATPT diagnosis in the next revision of the International Classification of Diseases.
The aim of the study was to examine early symptoms of acute and transient psychotic disorders and the stability of the diagnosis, to describe early peculiarities of hospitalisation in ATPD patients and patients, who later were diagnosed with schizophrenia, to investigate possible relation of ATPD with stressful events before the first ATPD episode and personality profiles, as well as to identify treatment tactics in Latvia.
One of the conclusions of the research: clinical symptoms of the first psychotic episode in ATPD patient group and ATPD patients, who later were diagnosed with schizophrenia differs. The main prognostic indicators of the diagnosis were mental disorders during the first psychotic episode. General stability of the diagnosis was around 50%. It was established that a great part of ATPD patients experienced stressful events before the first psychotic episode. The relation of ATPD diagnosis with personality traits was not established.

Parachute Jumper Gives Imitation of a Flying Squirrel (Sep, 1930)
Parachute Jumper Gives Imitation of a Flying Squirrel
IN a startling imitation of a flying squirrel, Rex G. Finney, parachute juniper of the Curtiss-Wright Flying Service, demonstrated his stunt of becoming a human glider before the public recently with great success.
A triangular piece of sail cloth sewn between the legs of his flying suit acts upon the air in the same manner as the membranes of the flying squirrel, enabling him to perform thrilling glides and stalls while in the air.
As he jumps from the plane, Finney stretches his legs apart, and the wind, acting upon the web between his outstretched legs in much the same manner as it acts. upon the elevators of a plane, enables him to glide a steep angle. By doubling his knees he is thrown into a climbing stall.

Triskelion Symbolism: Learning its Inner Ways and Importance
triskelion symbolism
Triskelion Symbolism: How is this Emblem Important to You?
To fully comprehend the triskelion symbolism, you may need first to know the underlying meaning of the triskelion itself. It is an ancient symbol of the druids, a motif, that has triple spirals that are joint together in the middle some triangle. One can say the structure of the triskelion replicates the Archimedean spirals. In some circles, it is the representation of three human legs. This symbol comes from Sicily, and it means the Isle of Man.
Also, it has other names like Tree Cassyn Vannin. However, in the ancient lands of Brittany is the triskelion. So, like most of the other essential emblems in life, this too has meaning that is very important to us. In the Celtic culture, it bears the definition of passive and active. When you closely stare at the symbol, it seems like something that is always moving. The logo signifies the active parts of our life we invest through the aid of this symbol. Also, it represents how the cosmos gives us a response to our efforts.
On the other hand, the passive part represents the faith, belief, prayer and meditation that we invest in the hope that the universe can reply to us. It is a simple concept. The triskelion only shows you that you need the help of the heavenly beings at times. When this happens, there is a harmonious balance that will help you out.
Symbolic Meaning of the three Arms of the Triskelion
Just by the first look of the triskelion, you will notice that it has three extensions at the edges with spirals. They stand for various things depending on the culture and the belief that you hold about it. Some of these include the mind, spirit, and body. On the other hand, there is the symbolism of Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. However, in some of the cultures, they believe that it represents the past, present, and future. In short, there are several symbolic meaning of the triskelion that has a lot of purpose in life.
The combination of these arms is what brings harmony to give the life of any personal meaning. To understand this, people must know that they need to be both active and passive.
Moreover, you cannot work yourself to death or worry that much. Also, you need to have faith in the things that you are doing or working towards will work out. The moment that one of these is cut off from your life, then you will notice exact problems.
In Celtic culture, they understood that these arms of the triskelion needed to go hand in hand. Moreover, they would plant, hunt and even plunder. However, they would also take time to pray to their gods for guidance in life. Also, they knew that there is the presence of the supreme beings in their life and that they are always watching.
Representation of the Three Realms by the Triskelion
Like in most culture and beliefs the triskelion also has the three worlds that make up the entire universe. There is the spirit world that carries the life of the gods and goddesses.
On the other hand, there is the celestial world where the forces of the universe reside. Lastly, there is the world that we live in. The world of living souls, plants, and animals.
This is why the number three is always a significant number in the universe because it represents that lives of all the things in the cosmos. Also, the triskelion describes the phases of the moon and how they affect the three realms of the universe. You know that there are three primary phases of the moon those are the full, half and the new moon.
Association of the Triskelion Symbolism to the Lunar
When you are looking at the association of the triskelion symbolism to the lunar, there some of the traits that you cannot miss. Some of these are intuition, spirituality, illumination, subconscious, feminine, hidden desire and mastery. These some of the meaning of this symbolism as it touches on the matter of the lunar effect. This is one of the reasons why the triskelion's appearance is a lot in the life of the Celtic people. Moreover, it seeks to teach and guide them in ways that they can live full feelings lives.
Triskelion Symbolism in the Christian Faith
Early in the 5th Century, the Christians took up the teaching of the triskelion into the faith. This took place among the British and the Irish culture when the Romans went there to spread the word of Christianity. However, when you touch on the Christian side, the three arm stands for the Christian triplicates. Later, the triskelion would appear in most of the Celtic Christian arts. Some of these were the cross and Christian manuscripts. Moreover, there are some of the triskelia that would end up on the widows of the churches especially the roman catholic ones.
triskelion symbolism
Representation of the Triskelion in the Contemporary Society
Many people and countries adopted the symbol and are using it on things like their flags and logos. For example, the United States of America's Department of Transportation is using it on their logo. On the other hand, the flag of Sicily has it to represent the Isle of Man. Also, the coat of arm of the Füssen is also having the three extensions of the Triskelion. There are many more places that it appears meaning it represents a lot to the people that are using it.
Triskelion symbolism is an okay way to learn the inner working of the universe and how it represents itself. The people that are having belief on the methods and teaching of the triskelion are most likely to have a quiet life on this earth. Moreover, there is no way that one lifestyle can entirely work without the other.

What is Cut-and-clinch
Cut-and-clinch is a mechanism or process used to cut and secure the lead ends of electrical components that have been inserted into a circuit board. This mechanism combines cutting and clinching functions to securely hold the components in place on the printed circuit board.
The cut-and-clinch mechanism consists of a vertically reciprocable spindle and an attached cut and clinch head assembly. The spindle can be rotated to accommodate components placed in various orientations on the printed circuit board. Once the spindle is raised into contact with the underside of the board and the components are inserted into the cut and clinch head assembly, a fluid actuated spreader rod extends to operate the cut and clinch head assembly for cutting and then clinching the leads. The remaining scrap lead portions are disposed of through a scrap chute connected to a collection means.

Hundreds of thousands of wild flower seedlings are being planted across Northern Ireland thanks to the efforts of prisoners from HMP Magilligan.
Community groups, schools and organisations across Northern Ireland have started planting a variety of wild flower seedlings at hundreds of locations this spring as the build-up to summer gathers pace.
The native wild flower seedlings are being provided by Grow Wild and HM Prison Magilligan in a joint effort to provide active and meaningful work for the inmates whilst also doing something positive in communities across Northern Ireland. Wild flowers will flourish in the summer creating spaces full of colour, beauty and wildlife.
Wild flower seedlings have already been planted at CAFRE's Greenmount College, where students are introducing them to their wildlife garden, the green roofs of Creggan Country Park, Londonderry, boosting the colour in the Cornfield Project, Coleraine, PeasPark and other community gardens in Belfast and 30 primary schools across the Causeway Coast and Glens area including St Aidan's in Magilligan.
Stéphanie Baine, Grow Wild's Northern Ireland Partnership Manager, said: "These germinated seedlings are very popular because they provide many benefits to people, pollinators and wildlife across Northern Ireland. We find that people get together in their local community or school to plant the seedlings, encouraging them to get active outdoors. And the seedlings will provide essential nectar sources for pollinators when they flower."
Austin Treacy, Governor of Magilligan, said: "The space and workforce at Magilligan complex is entirely suited to helping this great project. I am delighted that our work has helped so many communities and schools across the province.
More wild flower seedlings will be available in May and can be planted to inject colour into spaces along the main roads, in parks, and community areas across the region this summer. Contact _EMAIL_ if your school or group would be interested in getting involved.


Why Chinese Products Are Cheaper? [Complete Information]
Why Chinese Products Are Cheaper Image
Indian Markets have huge potential in terms of producing anything and everything, but we still rely on the Chinese Market for our basic needs, from a toy to a mobile phone. The Chinese producers have infiltrated the indigenous market and are able to sell the goods cheaper than the local producers. There ought to be a reason why Chinese products are cheaper?
Despite the huge costs involved in transportation through the sea route and high packaging costs and customs duty; Chinese manufacturers are able to squeeze in their products at prices that do not seem viable for their local counterparts. They even compete in items which are simple in nature and are easy to produce, like pencil boxes.
Why Chinese Products Are Cheaper Than Indian Products?
Going by the popular discussions, which emphasize on the fact that production cost in China is cheaper than others as the workers are available at low wages. We doubt the authenticity of the claim as many other countries like Vietnam, Bangladesh, Thailand; also pay their workers in a similar fashion. Yet their products are not that economical as one would perceive.
The fact that the Chinese goods have such an impact on the world and our local markets is really commendable on the part of the Chinese Government. With an exemplary implementation of well thought out strategies; they allowed their economy to be liberalized and supported foreign businesses and investors; which further strengthened the business environment in their county.
The administration has taken necessary steps in investing in the infrastructure of the country including roads, electricity availability, ports to enhance the overall productivity and create efficiency in their operations.
They have also taken initiatives towards setting up of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and thereby attracting Foreign Direct Investment in their country.
Supporting and promoting global exports for the produce of China, the government consistently indulges in leveraging the currency exchange rates in the International market.
Some points answering the question as to why Chinese products are cheaper?
Economy of Scale
The Chinese Government has always focussed on producing goods on a large scale; which ultimately decreases the overall costs, thereby making the goods cheaper.
Exporting Globally
China believes in exporting their goods in the international markets. Their focus is to serve beyond their own country and thereby their target market is large as compared to our local Indian manufacturers; wherein the scope is restricted to the Indian markets. Since the quantum of production in our local markets is less, the overall cost is high; thereby increasing the price of the goods.
Huge investments in Infrastructure
China has always invested largely in the developments of the roads, transportations systems, supply chain networks; which makes the movement of raw material and the finished products simple and efficient and thereby reduces the cost and time involved. In a contrasting situation; India has still a long way to go and policies need to be implemented to boost the foster the industrial sector.
The same is the case in electricity generation. While electricity is available at cheaper rates with an uninterrupted supply in China; the scenario for the Indian market is, unfortunately, the opposite.
Productive Labour Force
Even though the wage rate in China has substantially improved over the years, the development of the labor force deserves a notable mention. They focus on providing their manpower with skill development programs from time to time, thus increasing productivity. Therefore, the workers are instilled with higher efficiency; thereby contributing to the high demand for Chinese products.
Reverse Engineering Processes
China saves big on Research and Development by not limiting itself. They believe in allowing the manufacturers to produce similar products without any intellectual property rights involved. They believe in copying the design and producing goods in huge quantities. There are claims that China usually imports, deconstructs, and carries out detailed studies of products from all over the world and make their own version.
Leveraging their currency
It is believed that China is involved in manipulating their currency value for their own benefit. Having not signed any WTO agreements, they are not liable to transparency in their transactions and intentionally keep their currency weak against the US Dollar thereby keeping competitive prices for exports.
It is also to be noted that they sometimes even export goods at a price lower than what they actually incur to take advantage of the benefits available.
Popularly known as dumping; this practice is causing harm to all the importing country's local producers who try to make ends meet and are ultimately forced to close down shop in lieu of such unhealthy competition. China has been indulging in such immoral activities for a long time now, despite many countries opposing it.
Summing up, we would like to say that, apart from these reasons, and many more; China is able to sell its product cheaper, and we are doing nothing about it. It is high time that the Indian government finds solutions to this unending competition in order to boost the economy and support the local manufacturers and vendors. India should carve a way towards self-sufficiency.
Do you agree with us? Let us know.
Where is the cheapest labour in the world?
The cheapest labour in the world is in Romania.
Why can't India manufacture cheaper products as compared to China?
It's because China has a great proportion of developed lands whereas in India 70% of people living in rural areas. Also, electricity availability is a major problem in India. Electricity is for a limited time, thus factories lay idle and do not produce goods during the time.
Which country is the largest producer of steel?
China is at No. 1 when it comes to the production of steel.

O-1 Self Petition / Entrepreneur
If an applicant does not have an employer / job offer, they can still apply for an O-1. Instead of self-petitioning, which is not permitted by the USCIS, applicants can create a company that will petition for them in an Employee-Employer Relationship.
The key to "self-petitioning for an O-1", or having a company the beneficiary owns to petition for the beneficiary, is to establish employee-employer relationship.
The Neufeld Memo of 01/08/2010 redefines an employee-employer relationship for U.S. employers. Under this memo, if the beneficiary is "the sole operator, manager, and employee", the beneficiary cannot be fired since he cannot fire himself and has no other entity to do so. If the applicant cannot be fired, then an employee-employer relationship cannot exist.
On the other hand, the beneficiary can still be the "sole stockholder of a corporation" and be employed by the corporation they have majority ownership as long as there are entities that can fire, hire, pay, or otherwise control the beneficiary (i.e. a Board of Directors). To check if such a relationship exists, the beneficiary should consider the following:
- Do you have evidence of other investors (i.e. purchase agreements)?
- Do you have bylaws that list board members' names and responsibilities?
- Do the bylaws specifically state that the board has the right to fire you?
- Do other investors supervise your work on-site?
- Are there performance reviews done for you? What is your level of supervision?
- How is your day-to-day task determined?
Factors that USCIS will consider
When the USCIS receives a "self-petitioning" case, they look at a number of factors to determine if the petitioner (company) has the right to control the beneficiary. None of the following factors are decisive, but will affect the final determination.
- Does the petitioner supervise the beneficiary and is such supervision off-site or on-site?
- If the supervision is off-site, how does the petitioner maintain such supervision, i.e. weekly calls, reporting back to main office routinely, or site visits by the petitioner?
- Does the petitioner have the right to control the work of the beneficiary on a day-to-day basis if such control is required?
- Does the petitioner provide the tools or instrumentalities needed for the beneficiary to perform the duties of employment?
- Does the petitioner hire, pay, and have the ability to fire the beneficiary?
- Does the petitioner evaluate the work-product of the beneficiary, i.e. progress/performance reviews?
- Does the petitioner claim the beneficiary for tax purposes?
- Does the petitioner provide the beneficiary any type of employee benefits?
- Does the beneficiary use proprietary information of the petitioner in order to perform the duties of employment?
- Does the beneficiary produce an end-product that is directly linked to the petitioner's line of business?
- Does the petitioner have the ability to control the manner and means in which the work product of the beneficiary is accomplished?
Establishing Extraordinary Ability as an Entrepreneur
1. Receiving a major, internationally-recognized award (i.e. Nobel Prize)
Funding from outside investors (including venture capital funding and angel investors) qualifies as a major award. The investor must be a reputable source and have a history of selecting quality investments.
2. Fulfilling 3 of the following:
- Memberships that require outstanding achievements as judged by experts: There are many available associations that entrepreneurs can join for this O-1 qualification. Research should be done prior to starting an O-1 so that applicants can fulfill any necessary requirements for membership.
- Receive nationally or internationally recognized prizes/awards: Other sources of funding for the company may be used for this criteria.
- Publications in professional or major media such as newspapers: Any press about the company could qualify as a publication; however, it must be a reputable or professional major media (i.e. Business Today, Fortune).
- Original and major professional contributions: The company's product can be considered an original and major contribution. The impact or significance of this product can be shown through letters and other media.
- Employment in critical role for distinguished organizations: If the applicant founded the company, this criteria is usually easily fulfilled through role description, letters, and other evidence.
- Judged the work of others in field (such as pitch competitions)
- High salary in field (depends on the individual field)
- Author of articles in professional journals or other major media (if applicable)
3. Providing other evidence that shows that applicant is the top in their field
In addition to the regular O-1 process of packaging your entire case file from start to finish and training you for the mock interview, we provide additional services for clients who have not created or is in the process of creating a business for the purpose of an O-1.
We will help you create a business tailored to the factors that the USCIS will examine. This includes creating and/or examining your bylaws, articles of incorporation, minutes of the board of directors, articles of association, business hierarchy charts, and other relevant materials.


Why do I feel small crystals or hard lumps inside my new Boveda?
A brand-new Boveda is pliable, jelly-like and "squishy." Sometimes you might also feel some small crystals or lumps inside the pack, which is totally normal. Your Boveda is still safe to use.
Here's why crystals can form inside a new Boveda: The signature formula inside Boveda is a saturated saltwater solution. We add all-natural salts and a food-safe thickener to purified water then seal it all in a leakproof membrane. When we combine the ingredients and fill the membrane, sometimes an excess of those blended salts will mix with the water. As a result, small salt crystals that feel like hard lumps can occasionally form. Additionally, changes in temperature or other conditions can create recrystallization of the salts. This can feel like regular table salt or occasionally like coarse sea salt.
Any crystals in Boveda won't impact the performance, effectiveness or shelf life of the 2-way humidity control. In the rare event that the crystals become sharp and puncture the pouch, please reach out to us. We'll make it right at no cost. We're good like that.


Commissions research on social gaming sector
The International Social Gaming Association (ISGA), a body that emerged following a merger between The Social Gaming Association (SGA) and the International Social Games Coalition (ISGC) in September, has developed a set of best practice principles for the social games industry.
The set of best practice principles covers five areas which are intended to ensure that games and their providers:
– Practice law and regulatory compliance;
– Are transparent in their functionality;
– Conduct responsible purchase and payment policies;
– Provide appropriate player privacy management; and
– Use appropriate advertising models.
Luc Delany, chief executive officer of the ISGA, said: "The social games industry is thriving and fast growing – over 750 million people play social games worldwide, and social games companies are driving economic growth. The launch of our best practice principles reflects our industry's need to ensure games are developed and operated in a responsible way at a time when the way people play and pay for games is changing."
Additionally, the ISGA has commissioned research into the evolution, use and impact of social games. The research results aim to give a better understanding of social gaming from both business and the consumer's point of view.
Independent research firm Harvest Strategy, led by Dr. Rohan Miller, will target how social games are changing the ways consumers play and pay for games.
The findings are expected to be released early 2014.

Sometimes the first indication you have of plastic melting on the stove is the noxious odor of melting plastic. Other times the first sign of melted plastic is the indistinguishable lump of harden something on your stove. Melted plastic on a stove is almost always the result of an accident or carelessness. Sometimes if you accidentally leave a plastic bag or a plastic container too close to the stove or on the stove itself, it will melt and leave a terrible stain on your stove. Sometimes you may have just gotten finished using your stove and someone else in the house did not realize the stove was hot and they place a plastic bag or container on the hot burners. The plastic will melt very quickly and harden. Or at worse you had a minor fire in the kitchen and plastic items that were near the stove, melted and dripped onto the surface. Whatever the cause the removal process remains the same. Melted plastic is very difficult to remove because it tightly grips the surface. Scrubbing is not very effective because the bond the melted plastic forms with the stove surface is very, very strong. Scouring powders will leave nasty scratches on the surface of the stove as will scouring pads and abrasive cleaners.
Removing Melted Plastic
If you have a gas stove, turn off the pilot light; older stoves have pilot lights. Newer, more modern stoves have an electronic ignition so there is no pilot light to worry about. If you have an electric stove, there are no precautionary measures.
Let the melted plastic cool off totally. Do not try to remove the melted plastic until it is cool to the touch and room temperature. Do not touch the hot plastic with your bare hands or you will get a very nasty burn.
Soak a cotton ball in acetone. Acetone can be found in many stores ranging from pharmacies to dollar stores to grocery stores. You will find it sold as nail polish remover. Don't buy the acetone free nail polisher remover because it won't work.
Rub the acetone soaked cotton ball over the melted plastic. Switch to new acetone soaked cotton balls frequently so you can pull off the melted plastic and let it absorb into the cotton ball surface.
Wash the surface of the stove will dish soap and water or an all purpose household cleaner. Wet a ag or paper towel to rinse and remove the soapy residue. Rinse several times with plain water because acetone in highly flammable.
You MUST rinse the stove several times with plain water to remove all of the acetone residue. If you do not rinse the surface of the stove thoroughly and properly , the acetone can ignite and burn.
Wash your hands well with hand soap and water after using acetone to remove the residue or you will risk the possibility of burning yourself.
Do not work near an open flame including candles, lit cigarettes or cigars.
Ventilate the area well because acetone or nail polish remover fumes can be heavy and it does not smell pleasant. You can open windows or set up a fan to blow the fumes out of the room.
Use care in the future to prevent melting plastic onto your stove. Keep plastic bags, utensils and other item back away from the stove.
