The anatomy of »blue ring« in the wood of Pinus nigra
Anatomija »modre branike« v lesu črnega bora Pinus nigra
Keywords:lignification, tree ring, pointer year, cell wall, tracheids, pits
Tree-ring features are widely used to identify specific climate, environment and stress events affecting plant life. Cold temperatures can mainly affect the last phase of cell differentiation by interfering in the process of cell wall lignin deposition. Recently, it was found out that the effect of cold temperature on lignification is visible in wood microsections double stained with astra blue which stains cellulose, and red safranin which stains lignin. This new tree-ring feature was called »blue ring«. In this study, we investigated the anatomical morphology of blue rings in transverse and longitudinal wood microsections of three European black pine trees (Pinus nigra Arnold) growing above the treeline. We aim to understand if the lack of lignification is consistent along the entire tracheid length and whether or not pits, responsible for water transport from one tracheid to another, are lignified. The results show that the lack of lignification extends along the entire tracheids cell wall, including bordered pits. Based on our observations we speculate that blue ring occurrence decreases the safety of water transport and wood mechanical properties.

Everything You Need to Know About Fulbright Creative and Performing Arts Awards
Jun 29, 2017 • Views -
When applying for a Fulbright U.S. Student Award for Study/Research, it can be difficult to determine if your proposal is an "Academic" or "Creative and Performing Arts" project. While there are many similarities between academic and arts-related awards, there are several key differences that make it critical to understand which category your proposed project best fits. Fulbright Program staff recently recorded a webinar to help explain some commonly misunderstood aspects of the Creative and Performing Arts application process. Here are some of the top questions asked by applicants and their answers. Visit the Fulbright Webinar page to access the full recorded seminar on the 2018-19 Arts Awards.
1. How do I know if I should apply as a Creative and Performing Arts candidate?
When determining whether your project proposal is academic or artistic in nature, you should ask yourself whether or not the project hinges on your artistic abilities and background. Arts-related projects should develop your craft while interacting with a larger question. Academic projects can have artistic themes but don't necessary depend on your abilities as an artist. For example, if you propose an independent study project on murals in Mexico where you'd be analyzing pieces and writing about art theory/history, you would apply as an academic candidate. If you proposed this same project but focused on learning local techniques and incorporating new skills into your personal murals/paintings, you would apply as an arts candidate.
2. Are there any different application components needed if applying for an Arts award?
When applying for a U.S. Student Program Study/Research award, you will have the option to select either "Academic" or "Creative and Performing Arts" as your award type. Creative and Performing Arts applicants are required to submit supplementary materials related to their field such as an artistic portfolio or previous work examples. Arts awards are accepted in the same countries and regions as academic study/research awards, although some countries haven't had as many arts applicants in the past.
3. Are arts-related Fulbright applications generally successful?
There is no definitive answer regarding the overall success rate of arts applications, although Fulbright has had a growing interest in supporting arts candidates. The number of arts applicants has decreased in the last few years. Even if a country hasn't supported any arts applicants in the past, it might not be because that country isn't interested in the arts; some countries might not have previously received strong arts applications.
 4. Are there any countries or regions that specifically need more arts-related candidates?
Yes! Many regions see a surplus of academic study/research applicants or English Teaching Assistant applicants. The East Asia/Pacific region is specifically looking for more arts-related study/research applicants.
5. If I'm applying for a Study/Research award for a graduate program abroad, how do I know if I might be considered an arts candidate?
Look at the materials that the university requires in your application. If you're applying for a graduate program that requires a portfolio or audition, then you should most likely apply as a Creative and Performing Arts candidate for your Fulbright Study/Research award.
6. Is creative writing a supported art form?
Yes, absolutely. A list of supported arts-related disciplines can be found on the Fulbright website.
7. What are the biggest mistakes that applicants make when applying for an arts award?
Fulbright sees two major flaws in many arts applications. The first is proposing to replicate the same projects or work that you're doing in the United States. For example, if an artist makes small pottery in the U.S. and proposes to make the exact same type of pottery in Morocco, Fulbright will want to see a greater challenge or transformational aspect to the proposal. Conversely, the other major flaw that Fulbright sees is related to feasibility. Many applicants propose projects that are completely different from their artistic backgrounds and fail to make strong cases about how they have sufficient training and experience to complete their projects. For example, Fulbright typically wouldn't find it feasible for an artist with a background in pottery to choreograph and direct a community dance showcase if the applicant has expressed no prior experience or training in dance or the performing arts. Fulbright is looking for applicants who have the solid foundation in their field needed to complete a project, but the intent to build upon their craft in a meaningful and logical way.
8. Can I apply to a country where I have limited language skills?
Every country has different language requirements. Some require fluency or intermediate skills while some countries have no language requirements. Even if a country has no formal language requirements, it's important for you to keep the feasibility of your project in mind. If you're doing a project where you need to interview many people, for example, you might need a more advanced set of language skills.
9. If I'm applying for the second time, am I obligated to provide new portfolio materials?
It depends on how your portfolio materials relate to the current project you're proposing. If you're applying for the second time, the committee might wonder about the projects that you've been working on in the year since you last applied. Strong applications show growth and development in artistic ability.
10. If I propose a project that affiliates with a specific university in a specific city, am I still able to explore my proposed topic in other regions of the host country?
While Fulbright wants you to have a "home base" within your proposed host country, most applicants travel within the country as needed to conduct other aspects of their projects. Fulbright wouldn't want you moving around every week, but in-country travel both related to your project and for cultural exchange purposes is highly encouraged.

Frequently Asked Questions
Section 1: What is Beanstalk CRF and how does it work?
What is a Controlled-Release Fertiliser?
Beanstalk Ag's Controlled-Release Fertiliser are encapsulated mineral prills that release nutrient to your plant depending on the stage of the growth cycle. The porous polymer coating allows nutrients to dissolve into solution at an equivalent rate to your plants water usage. This consistent access to nutrients enables your plant to utilise what it needs when it is needed. Taking the guesswork out of your growing and removing the requirement for bottled NPK fertilisers and additives.
What are the benefits of CRF?
Our product allows you to stop mixing fertiliser at all stages of plant growth, reducing the cost of both applying fertiliser and maintaining complex fertigation injectors. CRF allows you to eliminate most runoff from your facility, significantly reducing your environmental impact and your cost of goods sold. With a single application of Beanstalk CRF, you can simplify your SOP's, improve efficiency and quality, whilst also saving money.
What is the coating made of?
Our coating is a proprietary Polyolefin based polymer that completely breaks down over time and, unlike commercial time release fertilisers, does not create microplastics that pollute the waterways.
Why the reduced Phosphorus formula?
We use a unique mineral composition of Phosphorus that is completely water soluble. This, in conjunction with our ability to eliminate runoff, allows all the Phosphorus in our product to be utilised by the plant. Therefore, removing the need to add excessive amounts of phosphorus.
Why the high Potassium formula?
Through extensive testing we have found that potassium is the nutrient most responsible for fruit and flower quantity and quality. All nutrients are needed at appropriate levels, but high potassium levels are essential for fast-growing plants throughout the flowering phase.
Section 2: Dosage rates, substrate choice and how to pot up
What are the usage rates?
Absolute Flower - 15- 20 grams per four litres of substrate (minimum 3.75g per litre)
K-Boost- 5 - 8 grams per four litres of substrate (minimum 1.25g per litre)
CA-Fortify- 5-8 grams per four litres of substrate (minimum 1.25g per litre)
V- Basis- 25 grams per four litres of substrate (minimum 6.25g per litre)
When do I add Beanstalk to my pot?
Apply the relevant Beanstalk product to each pot right before transplant. It is not recommended to premix CRF into the substrate too far in advance, as the moisture present will start to activate the fertiliser prematurely.
What is the best way to add Beanstalk to my pot?
When transplanting into a new pot, it is optimal to mix the fertiliser evenly throughout the substrate before potting the plant. Simply,
- Fill the pot 2/3 with your chosen substrate
- Add the relevant dose of Beanstalk products
- Mix thoroughly with your hands or a garden scoop
- Pot up the plant and fill with substrate
- Irrigate with water and, optionally, your preferred silica and non-NPK additives
If the plant is already in the container it is recommended to sub-dress the fertiliser.
What is sub-dressing?
Sub-dressing is the process of putting fertiliser on the surface of the substrate and then covering the fertiliser with enough substrate to ensure the CRF has adequate moisture contact to release nutrient. Sub-dressing can be used when stepping up to a bigger container.
Can I add Beanstalk to a plant already in its final pot?
Yes. You can also sub-dress the fertiliser if you have enough space left in the pot to add more substrate on top of the fertiliser. It is not ideal to let the CRF sit on top of the substrate as it requires moisture to release nutrient to your plant.
What size pot should I use?
The ideal pot size is going to depend on the size of your plant. Fertilising with CRF means leaving the plant in control of nutrient uptake. If you are using a 5-litre pot or smaller it is recommended to up the dose of Beanstalk by 2x, to fulfil the plant's nutrient requirements throughout the flowering cycle.
What substrate can I use with Beanstalk?
When growing in a pot, most commercially available potting substrates will be compatible. Our customers use a wide range of coco, peat, and compost-based substrate. Beanstalk CRF can also be used outdoors in conjunction with native soil.
Can I use a fertilised soil, like All Mix?
Yes. If using a soil that already contains 4-5 weeks of fertiliser then either sub-dress Beanstalk at full dose after 4-5 weeks (once the soil is depleted) or mix Beanstalk into the soil when transplanting at a reduced dose of 25% to 50%, depending on how heavily fertilised the soil is.
How long does CRF take to start working?
V-Basis begins to release very quickly and is suitable for clones and seedlings. Absolute Flower, K-Boost and CA-Fortify start releasing within the first 5-7 days of use. So, if transplanting into an unfertilised substrate, like coco, you may fertigate lightly with an NPK and CalMag in the first week.
Is your product organic?
No. However, CRF technology eliminates many environmental issues associated with most conventional fertilisers.
- Advanced polymer coating effectively controls nutrient release and prevents rapid dissolving in soil, reducing waterway pollution
- No requirement to irrigate to run-off, ensures efficient water usage
- Replaces all bottled NPK fertilisers and additives. reducing shipping and packaging costs
Can I use Beanstalk with Rockwool?
No. It is not recommended to use CRF with rockwool.
Can I use your product when planting in the ground?
Yes, you can! We recommend always having your soil tested before applying any fertiliser. Please use the Contact Us form to arrange a soil test.
Can I use your product in a greenhouse and outdoors?
Yes. Beanstalk CRF works great in a greenhouse and indoor environments or outdoors.
Section 3: Growing tips, additives and pH
What is V-Basis for?
V-Basis is a stand-alone fertiliser for propagation, small nursery plants and mother plants. It is a vegetative growth fertiliser and can be reapplied every 70 days.
Absolute Flower, K-Boost, and CA-Fortify are designed to be used together. This flowering trio is mixed into the final pot at transplant.
Can I still flush with CRF?
If you are looking to flush or reset your substrate, simply irrigate to runoff/ leach your pot to reduce the EC in the root zone.
What if my plants look overfed?
Simply flush to reset your substrate. Irrigate to run-off with water until the leachate reaches the desired EC. You can also do this if your plants are finishing earlier than expected.
What is the ideal irrigation pH?
The ideal Irrigation pH is between 5.8 and 6.5 this is the area where most nutrients necessary for plant growth become bio available to the plant. For coco-based substrate, a pH of 5.8-6.0 is ideal. For peat-based substrate, a pH of 6.0-6.5 is ideal.
Can I use other additives with your product?
Yes, Beanstalk CRF works great alone, but it is fully compatible with any non-NPK additives growers choose to use. Many growers utilise a silica supplement.
Can I use organic additives and inoculants?
Yes, absolutely! Inoculating your substrate with beneficial bacteria and fungi makes for a healthier root zone and improves nutrient uptake. Organic additives, such as kelp, humic and fulvic will also assist with nutrient cycling and uptake. Guanos and compost teas can also be utilised. Avoid additives with a high NPK value.
Do I need to add CalMag if using RO water?
Yes. We would always recommend using a separate CalMag supplement to raise your EC to a minimum of 0.4 EC, whether using RO, rainwater or tap water.
Is Beanstalk suitable for very fast-flowering cultivars?
Yes. If growing fast-flowering plant varieties, we recommend adding an extra 2 grams of CA-Fortify per four litres of substrate to ensure calcium requirements are met.

assassin's creed 3 pc game free download
Assassin's Creed 3 is set in an open world and presented from the third person perspective with a primary focus on using Desmond and Connor's combat and stealth abilities to eliminate targets and explore the environment. Connor is able to freely explore 18th century Boston, New York and the American frontier to complete side missions away from the primary storyline. The game also features a multiplayer component, allowing players to compete online to complete solo and team based objectives including assassinations and evading pursuers. Ubisoft developed a new game engine, Anvil Next, for the game.
The game follows the series' standard level-based gameplay during the 21st century, as well as the open world gameplay set in 18th century colonial America, in which the player has access to a huge wilderness known as the Frontier (which is 1.5 times bigger than Rome in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood),the cities of Boston and New York as well as portions of the Eastern Seaboard and Caribbean Sea can be explored via the flagship of the Assassin's Navy, the Aquila., captained by Connor himself, with Robert Faulkner his first-mate advising and teaching him in the ways of the sea.
Free running has been simplified to allow for more fluid parkour in the cities and wilderness, such as climbing and running on trees, mountains, cliffs,etc. Close combat has been modified, allowing Connor to dual wield weapons and take down multiple opponents at once and players no longer need to manage the lock on mechanic.Aiding this, Connor has access to a wide range of weapons which include muskets, pistols, native weapons such as the tomahawk and bow/arrows, a rope dart (used to pull foes or hang them, while on a tree) as well as the Hidden blades. Human shields can be used against firing lines of enemies. Medicine is no longer used as health recovers automatically. Stealth is also revamped, allowing players to use natural elements such as tall grass and trees to hide, along with the ability to blend between any two people.
Assassin's Creed III features new weather simulations such as snow, fog, and rain. The seasons can also change i.e., Summer and Winter, which not only effect visuals but also gameplay, as the player will find running slower in deep snow. Snowfall can reduce visibility for the player and enemies, aiding stealth. Unlike the past games, this one includes animals varying from domestic (horses, cows, dogs) to wild (deer, wolves, bears). The wild ones are found in the Frontier, and can be hunted for meat or marrow in order to be sold. The quality of the kill determines the price, encouraging the player to hunt silently. For this, traps and bait can also be used.
Economy is now based on the Davenport Homestead, which also acts as Connor's adopted home. The site can be visited by people such as carpenters, tailors etc. suffering from displacement due to the war. Helping and interacting with these NPCs will encourage them to settle in the Homestead. From there on, the player can craft various items and trade with them, and then sell the goods to the cities via caravan. The player can also help them build relationships with each other, which will then result in the formation of a small village. The player can also upgrade the Homestead manor as well as Connor's ship, the Aquila.
A revamped version of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's recruitment feature returns as players can enlist citizens to the Assassins' cause by completing "Liberation" missions. They also have a much larger skill set, which allows them to start a riot, provide a covert escort, act a as a personal bodyguard etc. Other side missions include collecting Almanac pages, exploring underground tunnels to locate fast-travel stations, joining hunting and fighting clubs, investigating frontiersman rumours about UFOs and Sasquatch, "peg-leg" missions in which Connor goes to underground forts and wastelands to uncover the legend of Captain Kidd's treasure, and others.
Assassin's Creed 3 also features naval expeditions. Using Connor's warship, the Aquila, the player can navigate the high seas. Control of the ship relies on environmental factors such as wind direction and speed, local presence of storms, high waves, and rocks. Engagements are by cannon, with broadsides covering both flanks of the ship, and swivel guns that can be used to damage smaller ships which can also be boarded to find treasure. The Aquila is used in the side missions known as "Privateer missions" and is also used in some of the main missions.

"Remembering the Great War"
The Vernon Historical Society presents a new exhibit, "Remembering the Great War" timed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I for the United States. The exhibit will open to the public on Saturday June 10th as part of the annual "Open House" sponsored by the Connecticut Office of Tourism.
In this exhibit, visitors will see through photographs, letters and artifacts how our community participated by sending their young men and women off to fight and by working together to support the national war effort. In Rockville, members of the German-American community faced questions about their patriotism as sections of Rockville near the mills were made off-limits to aliens from enemy countries. Near the end of the war, the global influenza pandemic struck Rockville and Vernon. City officials struggled to cope as the numbers of sick and dying overwhelmed community resources.
When the Armistice was declared, Rockville and Vernon celebrated with a parade in November 1918 and later with a "Welcome Home" parade in July 1919. At the time, everyone believed that the First World War would be the "war to end all wars'"
On Saturday, June 10th the Vernon Historical Society will have special Saturday hours of 10am to 4pm. From then on, the exhibit can be viewed during our usual hours: Thursdays from 2pm- 4pm, the second and fourth Sundays of each month from 2pm to 4pm, and by appointment. Admission to the exhibit is free and open to the public. The Historical Society and Museum are located at 734 Hartford Turnpike, Vernon.
"Then and Now" Pictures on Display
A new set of "Then and Now: Photographs of Our Town- Past and Present", has been added to the exhibit that shows the changes to Vernon and Rockville over time. The photographs can be viewed at the Vernon Collector of Revenue Office on Park Street in the Rockville section of Vernon. Assembled by VHS researchers, Carolyn Blouin and James Ashe, the exhibit features sets of historical and contemporary photos. Each set focuses on a location in town and includes photos of a mill, a school and a church. Seen together the photographs illustrate how the place has changed over time. Mr. Ashe and Mrs. Blouin selected historic photographs and vintage postcards from the VHS collection. Then they took contemporary photographs of the same site, trying to match the angle from which the original photograph was taken.
The exhibit in the Tax Office is the fourth in a series that will illuminate the changes that time and development have brought to our town.
The exhibit can be viewed in the Collector of Revenue department on the first floor in the Town Hall Annex which is open Monday thru Wednesday from 8:30am to 4:30pm, Thursday 8:30am to 7pm and Friday from 8:30am to 1:30pm.

No high precise steering element is necessary. The results of the theoretical analysis, i.e. the dependence of the propagation vector on the angle of incidence had been verified experimentally, using both Mach-Zehnder interferometer and a holographic grating. The results obtained have proved the advantage of the method proposed, which may be of great importance anywhere if small-angle deviation of propagation wave vector is needed.

of the port release
Click on "Add rule" to start the port sharing process, which may take a few minutes.
Step 6: Start Terraria server
As soon as the ports are enabled you can start your Terraria server (In the firewall policies in the Cloud Panel you can see whether the release process is still in progress or already completed under "Status"). The simplest solution for this is to use the batch file named start-server.bat mentioned earlier. So navigate to the Terraria directory and start the batch file and thus also the server by double-clicking on it.
If you have not yet entered important information, such as the difficulty level or the name of the game world, in the configuration file, the command line will now ask you for this information. Then the creation of the server starts, which can take a few minutes depending on the size and seed. If the process was successful, the command prompt will display a success message.
Step 7: Connect to the server
If you or your friends want to connect to the new Terraria server, the following steps are required:
- Start Terraria.
- Click on "Multiplayer".
- Select the option "Join via IP" and an avatar.
- Type the IP address of your server (with :7777 appended for the port).
- Press "Accept".
- Enter the server password, if you have one assigned.
Once the connection to the server is established, your custom Terraria adventure can finally begin!

Another commonly used word for a prostitute is hooker.
Although a popular etymology connects "hooker" with Joseph Hooker, a Union general in the American Civil War, the word more likely comes from the concentration of prostitutes around the shipyards and ferry terminal of the Corlear's Hook area of Manhattan in the 1820s, who came to be referred to as "hookers".
Female prostitutes could be independent and sometimes influential women.
They were required to wear distinctive dresses and had to pay taxes.
Those offering services to female customers are commonly known as gigolos; those offering services to male customers are hustlers or rent boys.
Clients of prostitutes are sometimes known as johns or tricks in North America and punters in the British Isles.
Most sex worker activists groups reject the word prostitute and since the late 1970s have used the term sex worker instead.
However, sex worker can also mean anyone who works within the sex industry or whose work is of a sexual nature and is not limited solely to prostitutes.
Prostitution is sometimes described as commercial sex or hooking.
In the Ancient Near East along the Tigris–Euphrates river system there were many shrines and temples or "houses of heaven" dedicated to various deities documented by the Ancient Greek historian Herodotus in The Histories As early as the 18th century BC, ancient Mesopotamia recognized the need to protect women's property rights.
In the Code of Hammurabi, provisions were found that addressed inheritance rights of women, including female prostitutes.
The English word whore derives from the Old English word hōra, from the Proto-Germanic *hōrōn (prostitute), which derives from the Proto-Indo-European root *keh₂- meaning "desire", a root which has also given us Latin cārus (dear), whence the French cher (dear, expensive) and the Latin cāritās (love, charity).
Use of the word whore is widely considered pejorative, especially in its modern slang form of ho.

Can Grouper Live In Freshwater

You might be wondering whether there are freshwater grouper species which actually can live and stay inside fresh water environment or not. The claim that freshwater grouper species is exist, and they can breed this fish inside fresh water environment is not true.

Even though the Bumblebee grouper can adapt inside the fresh water environment, this will only happen for several years. Then afterwards the grouper fish need to be moved into the marine water since it is their original habitat where they should life and grow properly.
Thus, you should not understand this wrongly since there is no grouper species that is fresh water type of fish. However, most of the time, they will stay in the tidal pool or the seagrass bed as it will give them the most protection.
Then for food they will eat various microorganisms inside the water for example plankton, micro algae and also some crustacean. The reason why there is no freshwater grouper species type is because when the juvenile grow bigger into adult, then they will go and move to deeper area of the sea as their natural habitat.
In this area, they will feed on various reef fishes such as wrasse, snapper, dam selfish, and parrot fish. They would also feed on different types of sea creature for example, crustaceans, lobster, crab, or octopus.
That is why; you will find grouper fish stays in the coral reef which can be found in the subtropical as well as tropical region. That is why; they would not suddenly take miles of distance to go to the fresh water area just to find food.

Another unique behavior is actually showed by several grouper fish species which like to follow ell when it forages on the reef. Furthermore, they also develop a unique behavior, so they can avoid that predator better by changing the color of their body.
Of course, the grouper fish would not hide for all of their live, as they will need to reproduce which will be done on winter at the full moon period. Indeed, grouper fish can survive in fresh water environment but it is only temporary while they are still young.
Reefs are considered healthier if you see one of us swimming around because we help maintain balance in the ecosystem. I use my large mouth to suck in whole fish or invertebrates, then swallow them right away.
Scientists estimate that historical overfishing decreased our numbers by about 80%, and it's been a long road to recovery. After they're fertilized, the eggs drift around in the currents until they finally hatch.
Grouper Malabar grouper, Epimetheus malarious Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Performed Family: Serranidae Subfamily: EpinephelinaeBleeker, 1874 Tribes and genera Not all errands are called 'groupers'; the family also includes the sea basses. The common name grouper is usually given to fish in one of two large genera : Epimetheus and Mycteroperca.

In addition, the species classified in the small genera Hyperion, Completes, Dermatologist, Graciela, Scotia, and Trio are also called 'groupers'. However, some hamlets (genus Affected), the hinds (genus Cephalopods), the lyre tails (genus Various) and some other small genera (Gonioplectrus, Nippon, Paranoia) are also in this subfamily, and occasional species in other serrated genera have common names involving the word grouper ".
Nonetheless, the word grouper on its own is usually taken as meaning the subfamily Epinephrine. Groupers are Telecasts, typically having a stout body and a large mouth.
They can be quite large, and lengths over a meter and the largest is the Atlantic Goliath grouper (Epimetheus Tamara) which has been weighed at 399 kilograms (880 pounds) and a length of 2.43 m (7 ft 11 1 2 in), though in such a large group, species vary considerably. They do not have many teeth on the edges of their jaws, but they have heavy crushing tooth plates inside the pharynx.
They habitually eat fish, octopuses, and crustaceans. Reports of fatal attacks on humans by the largest species, such as the giant grouper (Epimetheus lanceolatus) are unconfirmed.
They also use their mouths to dig into sand to form their shelters under big rocks, jetting it out through their gills. The word grouper is from the Portuguese name, group, which has been speculated to come from an indigenous South American language.

In New Zealand, "groper" refers to a type of wreck fish, Poly prion oxygenate, which goes by the Mori name haiku. In the Middle East, the fish is known as hammer ', and is widely eaten, especially in the Persian Gulf region.
The species in the tribes Grammistini and Diploprionini secrete a mucus like toxin in their skin called Rammstein and when they are confined in a restricted space and subjected to stress the mucus produces a foam which is toxic to nearby fish, these fishes are often called soap fishes. Jordan, 1923 Tribe Epinephrine Sleeker, 1874 Aethaloperca Fowler, 1904 Affected Bloch & Schneider, 1801 Anyperodon Gunther, 1859 Cephalopods Bloch & Schneider, 1801 Chromites Swanson, 1839 Dermatologist Gill, 1861 Epimetheus Bloch, 1793 Gonioplectrus Gill, 1862 Graciela Randall, 1964 Hyporthodus Gill, 1861 Mycteroperca Gill, 1862 Paranoia Guillemot, 1868 Plectropomus Pen, 1817 Scotia J.L.B.
Smith, 1964 Trio Randall, Johnson & Lowe, 1989 Various Swanson, 1839 The largest males often control harems containing three to 15 females.
Groupers often pair spawn, which enables large males to competitively exclude smaller males from reproducing. As such, if a small female grouper were to change sex before it could control a harem as a male, its fitness would decrease.
If no male is available, the largest female that can increase fitness by changing sex will do so. Gonochorism, or a reproductive strategy with two distinct sexes, has evolved independently in groupers at least five times.

The evolution of gonochorism is linked to group spawning high amounts of habitat cover. Both group spawning and habitat cover increase the likelihood of a smaller male to reproduce in the presence of large males.
Fitness of male groupers in environments where competitive exclusion of smaller males is not possible is correlated with sperm production and thus testicle size. Gonochoristic groupers have larger testes than protogynous groupers (10% of body mass compared to 1% of body mass), indicating the evolution of gonochorism increased male grouper fitness in environments where large males were unable to competitively exclude small males from reproducing.
Many groupers are important food fish, and some of them are now farmed. Unlike most other fish species which are chilled or frozen, groupers are usually sold live in markets.
Groupers are commonly reported as a source of Ciguatera fish poisoning. DNA barcoding of grouper species might help in controlling Ciguatera fish poisoning since fish are easily identified, even from meal remnants, with molecular tools.
In September 2010, a Costa Rican newspaper reported a 2.3 m (7 ft 7 in) grouper in Cieneguita, Limón. The weight of the fish was 250 kg (550 lb) and it was lured using one kilogram of bait.

Anime addicts' guide - What does Otaku mean?
Have you heard of the expression otaku? Do you know its true meaning? How did this term come about? In this article we will do a deep analysis on the word otaku and the people who earned this nickname both in the West and in Japan. We will also see the influence of the community otaku in Japan and the West.
The word otaku [オタク] is a Japanese term used to refer to people who are addicted to something. Over time this word began to be used frequently to refer to fans of anime, manga, novels and games. Prepare to immerse yourself in the true meaning of otaku, to help we leave a summary below:
The meaning of the word Otaku
Originally the word otaku (お宅) was a respectful treatment (sonkeigo) used in the second person, to refer to your home, house, person or family. This word has also been used to refer to husband and organizations.
 - Example: I'll call you at home tomorrow (Ashita otaku ni ukagaimasu [明日お宅に伺います]);
The ideogram of the original word is taku [宅] which literally means home. Over time this word began to be used in a negative way to refer to people who live at home watching anime, playing games, surfing the internet, etc.
otaku One of the main Japanese alternatives is the words Geek and Nerd, but more derogatory. In the dictionary, he is described as a person who has a deep interest in certain hobbies, but lacks knowledge and sociability in other fields.
Otaku can also be used as a suffix for people who like a particular hobby for example tetsudou-otaku [鉄道オタク] which means something like a train addict or mekaotaku [メカオタク] which means addicted to Meka.
Otaku - what is it? What true meaning?
The Origin of the Word Otaku
In the 1980s Akio Nakamori and other prominent authors started using the honorific otaku to refer to criminals and serial killers, anime addicts, hentais and things like that. And since the Japanese are superstitious, they stopped using that word on a daily basis, thus becoming a bad word.
Over time this word started to be used to refer to people with obsessions for something. Not only anime and manga, but anything, cars, football, games, computers, etc.
Suppose someone likes football, they have team t-shirts, they idolize the team, they are present in every game, they put football as the first place in life. It can be called otaku.
In Japan it is possible to find thousands of people addicted to anime and games, which are considered otaku, and they take this lifestyle seriously, making cosplays, spending money on products, living a normal and fun life, doing what they like.
Otaku - what is it? What true meaning?
Why are Otakus excluded from society?
In 1989, the murder of a young woman in the Saitama region was sensationalized, as the criminal was a video collector, every case was enlarged, distorted and publicized in the media, putting the name otaku as a dangerous person who commits crimes.
The negative campaign was done in style. Even today, people play otaku because of the media's influence in that incident. Of course, this is not the only reason that otaku are despised in both Japan and the West.
The media blames the otaku for the fall of Japan birth. Japanese TV often claims that otaku do not want real relationships, and are quite antisocial and hikikomori.
Another criticism against otakus is the huge consumption of erotic content in comics, games and animations, where you can find tentacles, lolis, etc. Yes, I have found several articles on Brazilian websites that talk about this subject. Japan is one of the countries that most consumes material of this type, and more than half are animations.
Westerners also often blame anime and games for a variety of problems in Japan and the western Otaku community. Few realize that the problem is not in animations and games but in addiction.
A person can be addicted to anything like movies, series and books. Otaku itself is used to refer to any type of person addicted to something like cars, toys, trains, computers, etc.
Otaku - what is it? What true meaning?
Why is this thought wrong?
The problem is that not all Otaku are antisocial, they tend to be related, live a normal life, work and have other dreams. The fact that a person is addicted to something was not necessarily to be bad.
In Brazil many are addicted to something, some live in the gym, others live drinking, many choose different priorities in their life and have fun with what they like. The fact that a person likes something does not determine his behavior.
Japanese are shy and antisocial by nature, the country's culture puts a lot of pressure on society to follow strict rules. Many end up becoming not just otakus but hikikomori NEETs who are isolated young people who live trapped indoors.
Otaku - what is it? What true meaning?
Otaku in the West
In the West, the word does not have the same connotation as Japan. Here it is usually used only to identify people who like anime. Otaku in Brazil also use the expression otome to refer to women who are anime fans, but it is worth remembering that otaku is not a masculine word, but unisex.
The amount of otakus outside of Japan is increasing a lot. The western population is neither prepared nor used to these types of people who call themselves otaku, they do not understand why they dress up and like this type of animation. Something understandable, since even today comic fans are branded as nerds, and criticized for dressing up.
Otaku - what is it? What true meaning?
The otaku are criticized in the West for the prejudice of thinking that animations are children's or children's. They do not know the depth of a story written by Japanese and do not realize that animation is just an art style like manga.
Others think that anime are crazy, full of powers, macumba, bitching, clichés, etc. They forget that there are genres and that anime are created on top of Japanese culture, made for Japanese people who think and lead a different lifestyle from Westerners. Western Otaku also admire and enjoy Japanese culture.
Otaku - what is it? What true meaning?
What does being an Otaku involve?
For a person to become an Otaku, just addict something and put it as a priority in your life. It is clear that in both the West and Japan the term Otaku started to be used for people who have similar tastes. Otaku 99% will probably like at least 5 things from the list below:
 - Anime - Japanese animations;
 - Sleeves - Japanese Comics;
 - Light Novels - Romance books;
 - Visual Novels - Relationship games, romance and conversations;
 - RPGs - Role-playing games;
 - Cosplay - Character fantasy;
 - Japanese music - Mainly from animes;
 - OST - anime background music;
 - Action Figures - Action figures of the characters;
 - Games - All types of games in general;
 - Japan - Otaku foreigners appreciate Japanese culture;
 - Series - Otaku also watches series;
 - Computers - Most live on computers;
 - Maid Café - Maids coffee;
 - Cosplay Coffee - Themed cafes;
 - Cats - It is rare that someone does not like cats, some even dress up;
 - Moe - Cute stuff, cute anime and characters;
 - Cute things - Cuddly toys, caps, character toys;
 - Weapons and accessories - shuriken, Katana and etc;
 - Eroge - erotic games and visual novels;
 - Hentai / Yaoi / Yuri (erotic animations);
 - Doramas - Japanese dramas / series / novels;
 - Dakimakura - Printed body pillows;
 - Itasha - Cars with prints;
 - Cards - Collect anime cards;
 - Nico Nico - YouTube of otaku;
 - Akihabara - The otaku center in Japan;
 - Waifu - Most Otakus have a waifu;
This list even shows some things that are considered questionable. The point we want to make is that, watching anime doesn't make you an otaku. There are crazy otakus, and they have problems, but it is a subject that must be understood and respected.
Otaku - what is it? What true meaning?
Knowing the otaku life
I recommend some animations and sleeves, which depict the life of a otaku or something related, I'll leave a list here:
 - Pray no Imōto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai
 - Shirobako
 - Renai Shimasen ka? (Mango)
 - Genshiken
 - Seitokai no Ichizon
 - Steins; Gate
 - Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken
 - Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu
Watching the anime or manga mentioned above, you can understand a little more about the life of an otaku, and how it can be interesting. Of course there are crazy and hobby-obsessed people like in the video below. Be careful not to become one of those.

We report on the simulation and characterisation of compound phase-shifted fiber Bragg structures for use as novel in-fiber magneto-optical point sensors. Through simulation we show that the Faraday rotation spectra of phase-shifted gratings can be tailored by tuning the ratio of substructure lengths. A design process for tailoring the magneto-optical spectrum is illustrated, and it is shown that a general optimum structure exists for producing a region of total reflection incorporating magneto-optical Faraday rotation that is enhanced both in strength and spectral width. A practical optical fiber system that exploits the proposed distributed feedback (DFB) structures to enable novel all-fiber sensors for the dual measurement of magnetic field strength and temperature is described in detail, and the sensor response is simulated. The study is supported by laboratory fabrication of the proposed fiber DFB structures which demonstrates the principle of enhancement in terms of tailored group delay spectra and highlights practical issues for sensor packaging.

Benchmarking Software and Design Automation Tools for Quantum Computing
Quantum software tools for a wide variety of design tasks on and across different levels of abstraction are crucial in order to eventually realize useful quantum applications. This requires practical and relevant benchmarks for new software tools to be empirically evaluated and compared to the current state of the art. While benchmarks for specific design tasks are commonly available, the demand for an overarching cross-level benchmark suite is not fully met yet and there is no mutual consolidation in how quantum software tools are evaluated thus far. In this work, we propose the MQT Bench benchmark suite (as part of the Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT)) based on four core traits: (1) cross-level support for different abstraction levels, (2) accessibility via an easy-to-use web interface (_URL_ (3) provision of a broad selection of benchmarks to facilitate generalizability, as well as (4) extendability to future algorithms, gate-sets, and hardware architectures. By comprising more than 30.000 benchmark circuits ranging from 2 up to 130 qubits on four abstraction levels, MQT Bench presents a first step towards benchmarking different abstraction levels with a single benchmark suite.


text: The quantity of beta-carotene (BC) accumulated in colonic polyps and colonic cancerous tissue in humans in situ was determined relative to the quantity accumulated in normal colon and rectal tissue. Serum concentration of BC, retinol, and alpha-tocopherol and tissue BC concentration were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography in samples obtained before and after oral supplementation with BC (30 mg/day). The serum BC and retinol concentrations significantly increased in response to supplementation in control, polyp, and cancer patients, but there was no change in serum alpha-tocopherol concentration. The BC concentration in tissue (colon, rectum, and tumor) of cancer patients was significantly less than that in tissue samples from control and polyp patients. Relative to baseline values, BC accumulated to a significant extent in tissues from all patients, including polyp and tumor tissue, during supplementation. The results indicate that BC does accumulate in colonic neoplastic tissue in humans and may potentially be utilized to augment cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutics or to prevent malignant transformation of cells.


Fatty Upper Pubic Area
Fatty Upper Pubic Area
Introduction: fatty upper pubic area
What is a FUPA? FUPA, or a Fatty Upper Pubic Area, is amongst the most commonly sought-after reasons for cosmetic surgery. As the acronym describes, a FUPA is a collection of adipose tissue, or put, fat, located between the hip bones in the pubic region.
Childbirth, aging, rapid weight loss, and genetics may contribute to the formation of a FUPA. FUPA can affect both males and females and is often a significant point of contention. In females, the FUPA often becomes more apparent after a Caesarean section. This is due to a low-set incision, commonly known as a Pfannenstiel incision, which anchors the skin and subcutaneous tissues down to the underlying muscle with scar tissue. This, in turn, creates a prominence of underlying fatty tissue in the pubic area. In males, this often happens simply due to the excess of fatty tissue in the pubic area. Either male or female, the FUPA sticks out of clothes and is quite unsightly for some.
FUPA Components
The common misconception is that the only issue at hand is fat, when in fact, a FUPA can involve excess fat, skin, or both! There are several non-surgical approaches to soften the overall appearance of the FUPA. These include riding, crunches, leg raises, rollups, superman pose, burpees, pelvic tilt, and classic Pilates moves, such as The Hundred- all of which address both the fat and skin.
One should not minimize the importance of a healthy lifestyle to lose lower abdominal fatty tissue! Create a cardio routine, be mindful of what you eat, and de-stress with yoga and meditation.
Surgical Correction of FUPA
The goal of surgical correction of the FUPA is to create a gentle rather than a prominent convexity. The key to modification of a FUPA is to prevent a striking appearance, such as a concavity. These goals are achieved by understanding whether the issue at hand is related to skin redundancy or excess fat.
Excess fat may be addressed with liposuction of the FUPA, while redundant skin may be addressed with excision of the excess skin. In fact, loose skin can become a concern following FUPA skin excision is performed through a lower tummy tuck incision. An incision allows for resetting of the height of the pubic area, providing a pubic lift, and enhancing the overall appearance of the pubis.
Ideal pubic height ratios are based on the evaluation of supermodels; these distances extend from the inframammary crease to the belly button, the belly button to the upper groin, and the upper groin to the bottom of the genitals, as 44%, 38%, and 18% respectively.
Redefining FUPA: What It Is and Why It Occurs
The Fatty Upper Pubic Area, commonly known as FUPA, refers to excess fat over the area right between the hips and above the pubic bone. This condition, also known as a "panniculus," can result from childbirth, aging, rapid weight loss, and genetics.
The Psychological Impact of FUPA
Beyond the physical aspect, FUPA can have significant psychological effects, impacting self-esteem and body image. Understanding its causes and treatment options is crucial for both physical and mental well-being.
The Causes Behind FUPA
Genetics and Body Composition
Genetics plays a pivotal role in where fat is stored in the body, including the upper pubic area. Individual body composition significantly influences the likelihood and extent of FUPA.
Lifestyle Factors and Weight Fluctuations
Lifestyle choices, such as diet and exercise, and weight fluctuations, especially rapid weight loss or gain, are key contributors to the development of FUPA.
Non-Surgical Approaches to Managing FUPA
The Role of Diet and Exercise
A balanced diet and regular exercise are the first lines of defense against FUPA. Targeted exercises, while they cannot spot-reduce fat, can strengthen and tone the lower abdominal muscles, contributing to a more defined appearance (Verywell Health).
The Importance of a Healthy Lifestyle
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and regular physical activity, is essential in managing and preventing FUPA.
Surgical and Cosmetic Procedures
Liposuction and Other Surgical Options
For those seeking more immediate results, surgical options like liposuction can effectively reduce fat in the upper pubic area. These procedures should be considered after evaluating all risks and benefits.
Non-Invasive Treatments
Non-invasive treatments such as CoolSculpting and Laser Assisted Lipo offer alternatives to surgery, targeting and reducing fat cells in the FUPA area.
Psychological and Emotional Considerations
The Impact of FUPA on Self-Esteem
The presence of FUPA can significantly affect an individual's self-esteem and body image. Addressing these psychological aspects is as important as treating the physical condition.
Seeking Professional Help
It's important to consult with healthcare and mental health professionals to address both the physical and emotional aspects of FUPA.
Conclusion: Fat upper pubic fat
Addressing FUPA requires a holistic approach that includes understanding its causes, exploring treatment options, and considering the psychological impact. Whether through lifestyle changes, surgical procedures, or a combination of both, it's possible to manage and reduce a fatty upper pubic fat effectively.

9.7. Connecting to Other X Window Systems
You can connect from Mac OS X to other X window systems using ssh with X11 forwarding. If you use OpenSSH (which is included with Mac OS X), you must use the -X option to request X11 forwarding (the -2 option specifies the ssh version 2 protocol, as opposed to the older version 1 protocol). For example:
ssh -2 -X remotemachine -l username
As long as XDarwin is running, this can be entered in either an xterm window or in the Mac OS X Terminal. To have the X11 forwarding enabled in Terminal, you must have the DISPLAY variable set prior to making the connection, as noted earlier. (This will always be the case if the DISPLAY variable is set in your .tcshrc script.) It is also possible to create a double-clickable application that connects to a remote machine via ssh2, with X11 forwarding enabled. For example, you can use the following script for this purpose:
#!/bin/sh ssh -2 -X remotemachine -l username
If you've installed the commercial version of ssh from _URL_, the equivalent of the preceding script is as follows:
#!/bin/sh ssh2 remotemachine -l username
TIP: The X11 forwarding flag is +x with the commercial ssh, but it is enabled by default, so that you need not include it in the command.
Using OroborOSX, you can add a Launch menu item to accomplish the same task. To do this, start by copying the template file found in the directory ~/Library/Preferences/OroborOSX/Launch Menu Items to whatever you'd like to call this application. For example, suppose we want to connect to a remote machine named chops with a username of sam. We'll name the application Connect2Chops. Start by copying the template to Connect2Chops.x11app:
% cp template Connect2Chops.x11app
Next, edit the Connect2Chops.x11app file. You only need to change a couple of lines, since you'll be using an xterm. In particular:
# ARGUMENTS FOR THE COMMAND GO HERE (can be left blank) set argums="-geometry 80x25 -ls -sb -sl 5000 -e ssh -2 -X chops -l sam" # OPTIONAL TITLE STRING GOES HERE (uncomment this if wanted) # note that an ID number, sent from OroborOSX, will be added in # brackets after this string [eg, below would give "xterm (3)"] set titlenam="Connect2Chops"
Save this file in ~/Library/Preferences/OroborOSX/Launch Menu Items, then select Launch Rebuild Launch Menu.
That's it! Now you'll be ready to launch the connection to the remote machine via the menu bar. Once you've connected to a machine running X Windows, you can start X11-based applications on the remote machine and display them on your Mac OS X machine. Figure 9-3 shows MATLAB running on a remote Sun workstation, but displayed on the local Mac OS X machine.

We investigate the role of perceptual organization in principal components analysis for vehicle recognition. The principal components analysis is a representative appearance based recognition algorithm that reduces the dimension of search space from the number of pixels to the number of dominant image components. However, its time complexity is high because it performs window operation.
To reduce the search space, we use line junctions with associated quality measures found in perceptual organization methods. Because lines in image or their groupings are inherited from three-dimensional structures, they can form a good initial hypothesis of search process. We define a corner feature as a small image area where the junctions are concentrated, and at the same time, characterize an object. In our application, the corner of the roof inside of the vehicle area is selected, and we name it the corner feature.
By combining principal components analysis and perceptual organization, we could construct an efficient vehicle recognition framework. We also present experimental results using real images of outdoor traffic scenes to demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithm.

After upgrade Events are not seen in the Performance Management.
We see the following error is seen in the Data Aggregator /opt/IMDataAggregator/apache-karaf-2.4.3/data/log/karaf.log* files (your installation path may vary if not default).
ERROR | EventPush | 2018-07-06 07:51:44,269 | EventProducerWS | or.eventproducer.EventProducerWS 945 | | | Failed to push xxx events: org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: Marshalling Error:
It also references the wrong host name or IP address for the Performance Management server.
Another place to look is the DA:8581/rest/emregistration page. The eventConsumerURL should point to the correct Performance Management host but may not if this error is seen.
Wrong IP address registered with the DA
All supported Performance Management releases
To trouble-shoot do the following:
Run the following from the Data Aggregator :
 curl -v http://:8281/EventManager/EventManagerWS.asmx?wsdl
This command should succeed. If it doesn't then the IP is wrong in the event manager general table possibly because there are multiple NICs on the box
Do the following:
 - Edit the Event Manager data source and change the IP in the Host Name dialog box to the correct IP address. This is going to update the "General" table for the EM database after it syncs. You can verify that by doing the following
 mysql -unetqos -pPASSWORD em
 Replace PASSWORD with your MySQL password.
 select * from general;
 - Assuming it updates run the following SQL to identify the sourceid of the Data Aggregator data source:
 select sourceid, sourcetype,consolename from netqosportal.data_sources2 where SourceType = 262144;
 Example output:
 | sourceid | sourcetype | consolename |
 | 3 | 262144 | Data [email protected] |
 In that example the sourceid is 3, your installation may have a different sourceid.
 - Take the sourceid value for the Data Aggregator Data Source form the previous step and run the following SQL:
 update em.data_sources set LastEvent=0,ConsumerID=0 where sourceid = ;
 Using the example above (again your id may vary) you would run:
 update em.data_sources set LastEvent=0,ConsumerID=0 where sourceid = 3;
 - This will re-register the Event Manager with the Data Aggregator. It may take upwards of 15-20 minutes for the values to transfer around via normal synchronization cycles in Performance Management.
 - The errors will be resolved when we see the eventConsumerURL value on the http://DA:8581/rest/emregistration page reflecting the correct Performance Center server host name or IP address.

✅ Learn how to make a QR Code for vaccination. ✅ Why is the healthcare industry is using a QR Code generator to track vaccination and and digital passports?
Trusted by top brands
As vaccines are becoming more and more available, people are looking for ways to help speed up the vaccination process. Vaccine QR Codes are here to help – they help governments keep track of vaccines, give people a digital passport for vaccination, and much more!
Many companies are already taking advantage of this technology and spreading the good help digitally. Many of us may wonder though – What is a vaccine QR Code and how do I use it?
PRO Tip: You can easily create a QR Code for vaccines here!
Vaccine QR Code Generator
You can use a QR Code Generator to help people book vaccination appointments.
What is a vaccination QR Code?
QR Codes for vaccines are mostly like ordinary QR Codes. They have been customized to fit the vaccination vials, product packaging, or other informational materials to digitalize the physical goods. Many governments have already approved the usage of vaccination QR Codes to help track the vaccine supply and to verify the goods for shipping.
It doesn't just stop there though. The use case for QR Codes is much larger than just product packages and vaccine labels. You can create QR Codes for all kinds of informational materials to help spread the availability and knowledge related to stopping the pandemic crisis:
Long story short – a vaccine QR Code is a code created by a QR Code Generator tool and related to helping spread information and availability about vaccines.
Watch as CNBC experts discuss COVID-19 Health passports and how to use QR Codes
What is a vaccination passport QR Code?
Mainly, Vaccination passport QR Codes are digital passports that can be used for different countries, companies, and locations. This helps to verify if a person is already vaccinated and helps keep the risk of contamination low.
Secondly, People use vaccine passport QR Codes for traveling and verifying thier health status without revealing any sensitive data or information.
Many apps use QR Codes to help with digital health certificates and vaccination. Have a vaccination or Covid-19 related app? Learn how to create an app QR Code to help more people download your app easily.
Why are QR Codes used for vaccines?
PRO Tip: Did you know that using QR Codes also helps maintain social distancing?
#1 Vaccination passports and digital health certificates
Think of it as your vaccination passport, but a more modern and digital version of it. Creating QR Codes help medical institutions track patients history and health status quickly and without any errors.
#2 Vaccine packaging and vial product labels
It is strongly recommended to use QR Codes on the vaccine packaging by the WHO. This is because it can instantly show digital versions of any information and provide additional info that may not be printed on a small vial or package label.
Vaccination QR Codes are the preferred method over traditional printing to distribute information because it can always be updated later when needed and some new info or news has appeared.
#3 Tracking shipments of vaccines
QR Codes for vaccines can help supply chains and inventory management. Warehouses can scan them to keep track of their stock and inventory. It also quickly shows the contents of packages without having to open any boxes for inspection or to read the shipment manifest papers.
#4 Promoting vaccination safety and knowledge
The CDC has created vaccine information statements (VIS) to help providers share important information about their vaccine products. These materials are otherwise difficult to navigate, but using QR Codes for vaccination products simplifies this process a lot.
People can easily get more info when they scan the code to get the VIS data and record the EMR (an electronic medical record) on their smartphones and devices.
#5 Giving people easy access to vaccines
People are able to book doctor's appointments with vaccine QR Codes. Secondly, they can also get quick access to approved sources for the latest news and information about the release status of vaccine products near their location.
How to use a QR Code for vaccination
Want to help? Using Donation QR Codes make it easy to help spread the vaccine in the world.
How are QR Codes used for vaccination?
For instance, many countries have already established digital health certificates that use QR Codes. This restricts access in and out of the country for travel.
It's not only the countries' borders that are using QR Codes. Many cafes, restaurants, and establishments are using a Covid-19 declaration form to scan all their visitors to help contain the spread of the pandemic. This creates more time for vaccines to arrive and be distributed.
If you're looking to make QR Codes for vaccines, then we can suggest you look into QR Code Generators. It's really easy to use and takes only a few minutes to create one.
Are QR Codes good for vaccination?
In addition to travel and safety, QR Codes can be used for donations and charity. Many people are in need of vaccines who aren't able to afford them. Governments can only support their people to a certain limit and older age groups will have a priority in line.
Try using a Donation QR Code to do some good.
QR Codes can offer information in any language, depending on who is scanning the code. They are economical and easy to access – it's easily available to anyone with a smartphone. This makes it the main preferred tool to share and access information about everything related to the vaccine.
Finally, vaccines are arriving and helping to restore our economy back to normal. We can use Vaccination QR Codes to make it easier for both people and authorities to share and access information. Many nations prefer QR codes to track their health status and distribute vaccines easily.

During the spring, ArkivDigital began photographing documents preserved at the Royal Palace archives (Slottsarkivet) which is located at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. We have partly photographed palace books that are included in the archive for Ståthållarämbetet på Stockholms slott or the Office of the Governor of the Royal Palace at Stockholm as well as some estate inventories from the Nedre Borgrätten (Lower Court of Justice) and Övre Borgrätten (Upper Court of Justice) archives.
The palace books that we have photographed reference the years _PHONE_.These volumes include, among other items, tax registers for the city of Stockholm.
Tax register for Stockholm city for the year 1645. The record is included in the palace general ledger for that year. Link.
The Courts of Justice in the palace were responsible for handling all matters of justice related to the court staff. In addition, the court employees submitted their estate inventories to the palace court of justice and not to the city court. The estate inventories for the court employees who were aristocrats were submitted to the Upper Court of Justice while the other court employees' estate inventories were submitted to the Lower Court of Justice.
Count Clas Fleming's estate inventory. Filed with övre borgrätten (Upper Court) in 1831. Link.
We will continue to photograph at the Royal Palace during the late summer and fall and will primarily focus on photographing the country books containing tax registers from Svartsjö county. Svartsjö county existed for about 20 years in the late 1700's and early 1800's and covers the area that today represents the municipality of Ekerö.


text: The temperature dependence of the first-order magnetic anisotropy constant has been investigated for off-stoichiometric chemically ordered L10, Fe45Pt55 nanoparticle samples. A representative sample shows an anisotropy energy density of Ku=0.7×107 erg/cm3 and a thermal stability factor of KuV/kBT=77 at room temperature. With decreasing temperature, from room temperature to 5 K, a 50% increase of Ku, accompanied by a 25% increase of the saturation magnetization MS is observed. The temperature dependence of Ku is explained on the basis of the spin-Hamiltonian approach with an Fe effective spin. The estimated median "magnetic" grain size, obtained from time-dependent measurements, decreases by about 15% with decreasing temperature from 298 to 100 K. This magnetic grain size reduction is attributed to the decrease of the superparamagnetic fraction in the FePt nanoparticle sample. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.

Wax pens are a favorite among stylists and artists everywhere. They're easy to use, and they come in a variety of colors and styles. What's not to love? The only downside is that wax pens need batteries to work, and those batteries tend to run out quickly. If you're like most people, you probably just toss the pen away when the battery runs out. That's not the best idea, though. Not only is it wasteful, but it also means that the pen can no longer be used. In this blog post, we will show you how to charge a wax pen battery with an android charger.
What is a wax pen?
A wax pen is a handheld device that uses a refillable cartridge to produce a small amount of hot wax that can be used for writing or drawing. The device typically consists of a cartridge with wax and an electronic heat-up system, which warms the wax until it liquefies. After the user injects the wax into the pen's tip, they can begin to write or draw. Wax pens are typically charge using an AC adapter or USB port, but there are also model that use batteries.
To charge a wax pen battery with Android charger: Plug in your Android charger into an available outlet and plug in your wax pen battery into the Android charger. The red light on the Android charger should turn green when it's charging your wax pen battery. When your wax pen battery is fully charged, unplug theAndroid charger from the outlet.
How to charge a wax pen battery with android charger?
Wax pens use disposable lithium ion batteries that need to be charged before each use. There are a few ways to charge a wax pen battery with an android charger. One way is to use the USB outlet that your android device charges using. Another way is to connect the wax pen battery to the usb port on the back of your android device using a micro USB cable.
What are the benefits of using an android charger for charging wax pens?
There are a few benefits of using an android charger for charging wax pens. First,android chargers provide a consistent and reliable current that is necessary for proper charging. Second,android chargers are typically smaller and more portable than traditional chargers, making them ideal for traveling with your wax pens. Finally, most android chargers also have indicator lights that let you know when the pen's battery is fully charged.

text: An upgraded submerged Doppler-type directional wave meter can measure 10 wave quantities related to directional wave motions, i.e. water surface elevation, 3 components of water particle velocities at each layer of 3 different water depth ranging from shallow to deep. In this study, accuracy of directional spectrum estimation is comprehensively investigated for various cases where directional spectra are estimated with various sets of different number of wave quantities. As a result, accuracy improvement is generally confirmed in various wave conditions when all the quantities are applied to the estimations, compared with the cases where conventional 4 wave quantities are applied to the estimations. Moreover, the advantage of BDM with the improved computation method was confirmed.

The golden lion in the left of the coat of arms is the symbol of the [[Electorate of the Palatinate]]. The red dragon in the right is the symbol of the [[Waldsassen Abbey]], and symbolizes the margravate of Diepolding. Only the upper part of the dragon is shown (while the monastery had the full dragon as their symbol), to symbolize that the status of the monastery was reduced in 1803 from an imperial monastery to a subordinate of the Palatinate. The blue bar in the bottom right is the symbol of the landgraves of Leuchtenberg, parts of the historically owned by them was included into the district in 1972.

Adams County has been issued a final property tax equalization factor of 1.0 for the 2012 tax year, which will impact tax bills paid in 2013.
This indicates Adams County's property is being assessed correctly, according to Brian Hamer, director of the Illinois Department of Revenue, who announced the equalization factor, also known as a "multiplier."
State law requires property in Illinois to be assessed at one-third of its market value. According to Hamer, assessments in Adams County are at 33.36 percent of market value, based on sales of properties in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
The state's equalization factor is determined annually for each county by comparing the price of individual properties sold over the previous three years to the assessed value placed on those properties by the county's supervisor of assessments.
If the three-year average level of assessment is one-third of the market value, the equalization factor will be 1.0, Hamer said. If the average is greater than one-third of the market value, the multiplier will be less than 1.0. If the average is lower than one-third, the multiplier will be higher than 1.0.
Adams County has not had an equalization factor of more than 1.0 since 1993, because the county does its own property equalizations on a township-by-township basis, according to Supervisor of Assessments Georgene Zimmerman.
Each year, the supervisor of assessments issues equalization factors for each of the 23 townships in Adams County. This is done as part of the statewide effort to make sure all property in Illinois is assessed at one-third of its market value.
When the state subsequently reviewed the county's assessments, it found the levels prescribed by Zimmerman were in line with the state's expectations. So the state issued the 1.0 countywide multiplier.


$ to $[0,1/2]$ modify Cantor's proof of the uniqueness of $\mathbb{Q}$ to construct an order-isomorphism $g$ between $D\cap(0,1/2)$ and $E=\bigcup_{n=1}^\infty A_{2n}$ that maps $A_n\cap(0,1/2)$ onto $A_{2n}$ for each $n$. Then define $f(x)=\sup\lbrace g(d):d\in D, d < x \rbrace $. Define $f$ on $[1/2,1]$ in a similar fashion.
Another addendum: I missed/overlooked the condition that $D=f^{-1}[D]$; my map is a bijection from $D$ to itself and that's it. The near-homeomorphisms on the square settle it nicely. In the spirit of those constructions one can get a one-dimensional example on the $\sin\frac1x$-curve: in every arc between points with coordinates $((n+\frac12)\pi)^{-1}$ and $((n+\frac32)\pi)^{-1}$ shrink the interval of points with $y$-coordinates between $-1/2$ and $1/2$ to the interval $[-1/n,1/n]$, everything in a bijective way. Then on the limit segment $\lbrace0\rbrace\times[-1,1]$ the interval $[-1/2,1/2]$ is collapsed to a point. Here $D$ is the graph of $\sin\frac1x$ of course.

I don't understand how you can extend your function to $[0,1]$, you will need uniform continuity. – Guillaume Brunerie Oct 31 '11 at 0:00
I think your counterexample contains a bug (probably the problem is in the continuous extension). In fact I think I can prove that if X=[0,1] (or 1-dimensional) then the claim of FelipeG is true. – ccarminat Oct 31 '11 at 8:03
---I think I can prove that if X=[0,1] (or 1-dimensional) then the claim of FelipeG is true--- That's unlikely. Take $f:x\mapsto 2x^2-1$ on $[-1,1]$ and take some dense set of transcendental algebraicly independent numbers. Now, for each number take its full forward orbit and some its backward orbit (say, choosing the preimage from $[0,1]$ at each step). Clearly, all numbers you get will be different, so $f$ is one to one on the resulting dense set $D$. A similar construction should work in all but very degenerate metric spaces. – fedja Oct 31 '11 at 13:20
Fedja, if you only take some of the pre-image, then you won't have $f^{-1}(D)=D$. – Joel David Hamkins Oct 31 '11 at 13:26
Ah, right you are! I somehow missed that part of the condition entirely. Shame on me! – fedja Oct 31 '11 at 17:59

Let's dance… la gigue!
What is… la gigue?
La gigue is a traditional dance performed in Québec and in the French Canadian culture. It is a form of percussive dance where one makes sounds with his/her feet on the floor. The mouvements of the feet, ankles and legs are usually quite small and do not have much amplitude.
La gigue came to Canada and was shared with us initially by the Irish and the Scottish. Subsequently, there was an influence from tap dancing from the Americans. Now, la gigue is practiced in Québec and across Canada in the French Canadian culture.
For more information, consult the article Le quiproquo de la gigue au Québec written by Pierre Chartrand.
What is a "bonhomme gigueur"?
Monsieur Bono is a bonhomme gigueur (dancing man) and is a component of French Canadian folklore. This bonhomme gigueur is described as a wooden puppet that dances on the end of a wooden board to the rhythm of the music.
To make the bonhomme gigueur dance, a person sits on one end of the board and, while holding the wooden puppet with one hand, taps on the board with the other hand. The bonhomme gigueur's feet hit the board and make the sounds "taque-tique-tac".

A small amount of sugar is used to even out the appearance - to ensure an even quantity of reducing sugar is available for Maillard's reaction to proceed equally everywhere (see Wikipedia link for more info). However, the amount does not affect significantly the taste or nutritional values of the fires.
[Washing the potatoes with slightly sugary water] It's not done for flavouring and it doesn't mean you're eating additional sugar. In fact, total sugar represents approximately .007% per pound of potato, so it's an extremely small part of the finished product.
Regarding the common claim that the fries are sweet because of this, there is, in fact, evidence of the contrary.
Sugar, when exposed to high temperatures such as that of the oil blend that McDonald's uses when frying, caramelises.
The dark brown colour at the top of a creme-caramel is due to caramelisation of sugar
Fast food fries are most definitely not caramelised. The browning of the chips is through Maillard's reaction and not caramelisation.
The light brown colour of French fries is due to Maillard's reaction.
Fries are sweet because the starch is first gelatinised during cooking and then broken down into glucose thanks to the amylase enzyme present in our mouth.
Facts and references
- Oil used by McDonald's to fry: Canola oil
- Canola oil smoking point: 230˚C
- Common fry temperature for chips: 200˚C
- Caramelisation temperature for sugar: 160˚C
- Maillard's reaction temperature: 154˚C
- Temperature at which starch gelatinises: 55–85˚C
- Saliva contains: amylase

Latin American Studies
The LAS program at UW-Eau Claire has come to distinguish itself as a unique program for its focus on international immersion experiences and its expectation of a high level of language proficiency from its students. Along with developing language proficiency in Spanish, students also gain in-depth knowldge and understanding of Latin America and Latinos/Hispanics in the United States through an array of courses from multiple disciplines including economics, geography, political science, art history, religion, history, anthropology and public and environmental health.
Your Gift Supports:
Support the general needs of the Latin American Studies program with a gift of any amount to the Latin American Studies Advancement Fund, which is used to meet the needs of the program that cannot be met by the state-assisted university operating budget. The fund enables the department to take advantage of opportunities to advance its cause.
- Scholarships and general funds to provide the greatest level of flexibility for operations and ongoing program development.
- An endowed Latin American Studies Scholarship to ensure a guaranteed source of annual scholarships. The initial endowment goal is $15,000, with an ultimate goal of a $100,000 scholarship endowment. This will provide a guaranteed pool of $4,000 to be awarded for scholarships.
- Flexible support for student programs, recruitment of faculty and students, and exploration opportunities out of the classroom. Ideally, we would like to have an endowment of $25,000, which would provide an annual allocation of $1,000 to be used to meet the greatest needs of the program.

The philosophy of the group Partners in Education is the sooner the better.
It's never too early to encourage your kids to pursue a college education.
On Saturday what was called a "College Coach" workshop was held at the University of Toledo and sponsored by Partners in Education.
100 Toledo Public School students in grades five through seven, their parents and educators attended.
The message is that if parents wait until high school to discuss college aspirations with their kids, it may be too late.
By starting young, you instill good study habits and promote career goals.
"The parents are going to make sure their kids get to school, do homework and ask questions, helping expose them to different careers. Our program helps them do that," said Becky Spencer of Partners in Education.
It wouldn't be a "College Coach" workshop if the kids didn't hear from a real coach.
UT Womens Basketball coach Tricia Cullop gave them some inspirational advice.
"You can never start too late. We start recruiting young, even in basketball. But for their education, it starts now. As young as they are, you can never wait another day to start investing," she says.
One mother at the workshop, Tomara Carter, says she is already investing in the future of her four kids.
"It's a good experience for them to learn a lot. They can also follow behind me. I'm a college graduate," said Ms. Carter.
Her son Elijah has plans.
"I want to be a police officer," said Elijah.
"I want to be a teacher because I'm smart and get straight A's," added his sister, Takayla.
Two kids who sound like they're headed "straight" to college.
