Alert: Potentially toxic levels of blue-green algae detected in Emigrant Creek Dam. Keep up to date here...
Emigrant Creek Dam is located near Tintenbar, 11km north-west of Ballina. The water in Emigrant Creek Dam comes from a catchment that is an agricultural area with rural residential and some tourist development.
Water stored in the dam is used to supply drinking water to the Ballina and Lennox Head areas. It supplements the Rocky Creek Dam and Wilsons River supplies.

Emigrant Creek Dam was constructed between 1967 and 1968 and at that time, it provided the major water supply to Lennox Head and Ballina. In 1998 these areas were connected to the Rous County Council supply system however Rous County Council continued to use Emigrant Creek Dam to supplement their other sources.
In 2002 the dam was upgraded to new design standards so that it would safely withstand the "Probable Maximum Flood" - this is the volume of water flowing into the catchment from the largest flood event likely to occur. This would theoretically create about 5.5 metres of water flowing over the spillway. The upgrade involved raising the embankments, reinforcing the spillway and anchoring it to bedrock about 30 metres below the creek bed.
Emigrant Creek Dam is used to supplement the Rocky Creek Dam and Wilsons River supplies. Rocky Creek Dam is used for preference as it has the lowest operating costs. The other sources are brought on-line as the storage level in Rocky Creek Dam drops to help secure our water supply and avoid water restrictions.
Emigrant Creek Dam has a capacity of 820 mega litres at full supply level. The dam wall is 13 metres high and 140 metres long and is made up of about 6,000 tonnes of rock, soil, concrete and steel. Water is released via an integrated spillway which is designed to discharge 950 cubic meters of water per second under probable maximum flood conditions. The highest observed level at the reservoir was two metres above the spillway on July 9, 1985, corresponding to an outflow of 280 cubic metres per second.
The dam also releases environmental flows through two valves in the base of the dam. These are intended to mimic the natural flow patterns of the creek and minimise the impact on water quality downstream of the dam.
Emigrant Creek Water Treatment Plant is located adjacent to the dam. The plant starts and stops based on demand from the reservoirs in the supply network. When required, water is pumped directly from the dam into the plant for treatment.
For safety reasons, and to protect our water quality, there is no public access to the dam structure or lake. You can view the dam from a lookout at the end of the Water Walk which is accessed from Killen Falls Drive. There is also a walk that takes you to Killen Falls as well as car-parking facilities and picnic facilities. There are no toilets at this site. Learn more about the walks at Emigrant Creek Dam here.
The dam has a de-stratification (aeration) system. This system mixes the water in the dam, preventing layers of different temperatures or oxygen levels from developing within the water column. De-stratification reduces conditions favoured by blue green algae and prevents the bottom of the dam becoming anaerobic. Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature are measured at various locations in the dam each week to ensure the water is properly aerated and mixed. Water samples are also tested for blue-green algae weekly with increased testing in the event of an algal bloom. If a medium to high level algal bloom occurs, affected residents will be notified by phone and warning signs erected around the dam and at Kirklands Crossing. Further information about blue-green algae management and current NSW alerts is available from the NSW Office of Water.

Technical Paper
Improvement of the Dynamic Characteristics in the Connecting Passages for Measuring High Frequency Pressure Diagrams
1986-09-01
861277
Remarkable progress has been made in recent years on pressure measuring techniques and apparatuses, yet they seem not necessarily successful in achieving accurate pressure diagrams at the high frequency range. The primary cause of difficulty lies in the occurrence of undesirable vibrations in the connecting passages which diminishes the accuracy of pressure diagrams. In order to prevent such vibration, the authors have attempted to increase the natural frequency in the connecting passages by enclosing heat resisting silicon oil, to analyse the frequency characteristics of the passages, and to ensure the propriety of the analysis through comparison with experiments. As a result, it is proved that the natural frequency of the silicon oil enclosed passage increases twice as high as that of the passage filled with working gas.

Welcome to habitats week! This week we will look at a different habitat found on Alderney each day, try and think if you have something similar near you for each one
First we will look at clifftop habitats which cover the south end of Alderney. Becuase they are often very exposed to the wind clifftops rarely have trees on them, and if they do they tend to be short and twisted. Most of the plants that grow on cliffs are very hardy - but some of the flowers there give beautiful displays - great for pollinators
Cliffs with soft soil or sand often make great habitats for insects as they make their burrows inside the cliff face and there are often more plants able to grow here, leading to a higher diversity. Can you think why only some plants will be able to grow on the cliffs? Soft cliffs have a variety of microhabitats (which are small changes making them suitable for invertebrates).
Rocky cliffs have lots of ledges and crevices which provide a home for seabirds. Razorbills, guillemots, gulls and fulmars are just a few of the species that use these ledges to nest in Alderney. The Gannets of Les Etacs and Ortac are on rocks out to see, but the habitat is the same as a cliff face, with those highest up getting the most protection from the sea

Is stunt driving a crime?
Fast and the Furious is a popular movie franchise that often features stunt driving. Though it may look cool on the screen, if a person were to do that in Canada they would likely find themselves either behind bars, or paying a hefty fine and losing demerit points.
What is stunt driving?
Stunt driving is defined by provincial law. For example, in Ontario stunt driving is defined as "driving a motor vehicle in a highway or race or contest, while performing a stunt or on a bet or wager."
Prince Edward Island has Racing and Stunt Driving Regulations in their Highway Traffic Act and a "stunt" while driving is described as:
 - While driving a vehicle one or more of its tires is lifted off the surface of the highway or road;
 - Driving in a way that some or all of the car's tires lose traction while turning, also known as drifting;
 - Causing the vehicle to spin or circle, also known as pulling donuts;
 - Driving a vehicle side by side with one or more vehicles where one of the vehicles is in the lane for oncoming traffic for a period of time longer than is needed to pass, also known as drag racing;
 - Driving a vehicle with someone in the trunk;
 - Driving a vehicle from a position other than the driver's seat;
 - Having a person or object to occupy the front seat in such a way that it prevents the driver from being able to control the vehicle;
 - Having a person ride in the vehicle in a way that interferes with the driver's control of the vehicle; or
 - Allowing a person or object to stick out of the vehicle through a window, moon roof, sun roof or other opening in the vehicle.
What is the law on stunt driving?
Stunt driving is forbidden in Canada. Though there is no individual charge for stunt driving under the Criminal Code of Canada, a person can be charged with dangerous driving.
Dangerous driving carries high penalties. If a person is convicted of a summary offence for dangerous driving they are liable to a fine and up to six month in prison, or both. However, if they are convicted of an indictable offence then they may face up to five years in prison. If the stunt driving caused injuries or even death, it's highly likely more charges will be added.
Many provincial highway traffic acts also forbid stunt driving.
For example, not only does the Ontario Highway Traffic Act forbid stunt driving but the person who is charged and is found to have violated that section of the act could face a fine of between $2,000 to up to $10,000, a license suspension for up to two years on a first conviction and up to 10 years for further convictions.
A person can face both federal criminal charges for stunt driving as well as provincial charges.
If you have been charged with stunt driving you should consult a criminal lawyer.

How to organize RegisterUserFunc ?
I am new to QTP.
Could you please explain me, how to organize RegisterUserFunc.
This is the Help example:
Function MySet (obj, x)
y = obj.GetROProperty("value")
Reporter.ReportEvent micDone, "previous value", y
RegisterUserFunc "WebEdit", "Set", "MySet"
Browser("MercuryTours").Page("FindFlights").WebEdi t("Country").Set "Canada"
UnRegisterUserFunc "WebEdit", "Set"
1. Where I store new function MySet ?
2. How to include function into main script?
3. Statement: RegisterUserFunc "WebEdit", "Set", "MySet" works only in runtime or I have to use: UnRegisterUserFunc "WebEdit", "Set" to undo previous statement?
Re: How to organize RegisterUserFunc ?
You can store the function either in the main script or in a library file (.vbs or .txt) that is attached to your test. Libraries can be attached in the resources tab under Test->Settings.
Once you register a function to an object then it remains a method of that object until you unregister it.

In Reply to Difference between and listbox...move? posted by Lee p12462 on February 04, 2009
: I tried both of these and they "seem" to do the same thing (swap items corresponding to the 2 indexes passed). Is there a subtle difference (I'm sure there is) that I'm missing?
: With a ListBox with 4 unique items, I'm trying:
:,2); or
: Form1.ListBox.Items.move(1,2);
: This swaps the 2nd and 3rd items in the listbox.
In your example, both statements perform exactly the same task, but that's purely "by accident" ;)
Starting from items such as A, B, C, D, both Items.Exchange(1,2) and Items.Move(1,2) give us:
A, C, B, D
But with different item numbers, again starting from A, B, C, D we see after Items.Exchange(1,3):
A, D, C, B
Compare this with starting from A, B, C, D and Items.Move(1,3):
A, C, D, B

In this article, we will describe how to migrate data from one CityCloud region to another. In particular, we will use Karlskrona (Kna1) as SOURCE region and Frankfurt (Fra1) as TARGET region.
- Openstack-client installed and CLI access to both SOURCE and TARGET regions through the openstack.rc file - How-To
In case you want to use S3 backend, EC2 credentials with both access_ and secret_ key - How-To
- A storage container and its objects available in SOURCE region - How-To
1. Create S3 and/or Swift rclone configuration file (rclone.conf) for both regions:
An alternative way to use your Swift or S3 config without exposing your credentials in rclone.conf is by using
env_auth=true and then source your OS_* and AWS_* environment variables as needed.
2. View all objects in the container, e.g. test, in the SOURCE region.
3. Create a container, e.g. copy_from_kna1, in the TARGET region.
4. Use either S3 or Swift backend configuration to copy your files from the SOURCE to the TARGET region:
5. Check that all objects are copied to the new container in the TARGET region:

Two-dimensional analysis of proteinase activity.J Biochem Biophys Methods. 2006 Jun 30; 67(2-3):173-9.JB
A method was developed to separate proteinases in a complex mixture in two dimensions followed by activity detection using class specific substrates. Using this method, serine proteinase activity was evaluated in gut extracts from a stored-product pest, Plodia interpunctella. With the substrate n-alpha-benzoyl-l-arginine rho-nitroanilide, three major groups of at least six trypsin-like activities were identified, consisting of proteinases with estimated molecular masses of 25-27, 40-41, and 289 kDa, and all with an acidic pI of 4.7-5.5. With the substrate, n-succinyl-ala-ala-pro-phenylalanine rho-nitroanilide, two groups of at least five chymotrypsin-like activities were detected, with estimated molecular masses of 28 and 192 kDa and pI values ranging from 6.1 to 7.3. Using the 2-DE activity blot method, information was obtained on the relative number and physical properties of serine proteinases in a mixture of insect gut proteinases without prior fractionation.

GstarCAD Tips & Tricks - 19: Dynamic Block - Know more about parameters
Knowing more about parameters in dynamic block editor
Parameters have an appearance similar to dimensions. Parameters also specify positions, distances, and angles for geometry in block reference. When you add a parameter to a dynamic block definition, the parameter defines one or more custom properties for the block.
A dynamic block definition must contain at least one parameter. When a parameter is added to a dynamic block definition, grips associated with key points of the parameter are automatically added. You must then add an action to the block definition and associate the action with a parameter.
Point Parameter: Defines an X and Y location in the drawing. A point parameter can be associated with a move or stretch action.
Linear Parameter: Shows the distance between two anchor points. Constrains grip movement along a preset angle. A linear parameter can be associated with a move, stretch, scale or array action.
Polar Parameter: Shows the distance between two anchor points and displays an angle value. You can use both grips and the Properties palette to change both the distance value and the angle. A polar parameter can be associated with a move, scale, stretch, polar stretch, or array action.
XY Parameter: Shows the X and Y distances from the base point of the parameter. It can be associated with a move, scale, stretch, or array action.
Rotation Parameter: Defines an angle. The rotation angle can be in any value, or be defined in a range or a specified value.
Alignment Parameter: Defines an X and Y location and an angle. An alignment parameter always applies to the entire block and needs no action associated with it. An alignment parameter allows the block reference to automatically rotate around a point to align with another object in the drawing. An alignment parameter affects the rotation property of the block.
Flip Parameter: A flip parameter flips objects. You can associate a flip parameter with a flip action.
Visibility Parameter: Controls the visibility of objects in the block. A visibility parameter always applies to the entire block and needs no action associated with it. In a drawing, you click the grip to display a list of visibility states available for the block reference.
Lookup Parameter: Defines a custom property that you can specify or set to evaluate a value from a list or table you define. It can be associated with a single lookup grip. In the block reference, you click the grip to display a list of available values. You can associate a lookup parameter with a lookup action.
Base Point Parameter: Defines a base point for the dynamic block reference relative to the geometry in the block. Cannot be associated with any actions, but can belong to an action's selection set.

The Hamilton-Norwood scale is a way of measuring male pattern baldness. It was introduced by Dr. James Hamilton in the 1950s and later revised and updated by Dr. O'Tar Norwood in the 1970s.
There are 2 main types of balding, anterior (front) and vertex (back), as this alternate view of the Norwood scale shows a bit more clearly.
Stages on the scale are often abbreviated to nw1, nw2, nw3a etc. Another slight variation on the scale is shown below.
Baldness in women takes a different pattern, and is measured on the Ludwig Scale.
I intend to give each of my postings a rating on the Norwood scale, but remember that this is only personal opinion and sometimes I may get it wrong. The Norwood scale is a less than perfect way of measuring baldness, but it is the best and most widely recognised way we have.
An alternative look at the Norwood Scale can be found at shortandbald.net

The concentrations of the two acute phase proteins, serum amyloid A and haptoglobin, in serum and milk were compared in 10 cows with clinical mastitis, 11 cows with extramammary inflammatory conditions and 10 clinically healthy control cows. The concentrations of both acute phase proteins were higher in the serum and milk of the cows with mastitis than in the cows in the other two groups. Four of the cows with extramammary inflammatory conditions had serum amyloid A concentrations in serum above 100 mug/ml, but negligible concentrations in milk, indicating that a pathogen must be present in the mammary gland for serum amyloid A to accumulate in milk. The acute phase protein concentrations in milk increased significantly with increasing somatic cell count, suggesting that they may be indicators of the severity of an infection.

Symbols indicating water level can be added to all logs types except depth logs. Water level symbols can be displayed in the borehole view and the cross section view. The lower point of the triangle, i.e. the bottom vertex, is aligned with the depth in the water level table. This is different than symbols in a post log, where the symbol center is aligned with the depth specified in the depth table. Additionally the water level can be displayed between logs on a cross section in the cross section properties. Add the symbols and edit their properties on the Water Level page in the Property Manager.
Note that adding a water level symbol or water level line will not change the depth range of the borehole view or cross section. The borehole view properties or cross section view properties Depth settings, Starting borehole depth, and Ending borehole depth must be manually set to include the water level when the water level is outside the depth range of the logs.
Edit water level data, symbol, and label properties
on the Water Level page.
The General section of the Water Level page contains properties for the water label table and symbol properties.
Check the Display water level symbol check box to display water level symbols on the log. A depth table containing water level information must be selected in the Water level table field for the water level symbols to be displayed.
The water level table is a depth table containing at a minimum hole IDs and depths. An additional parameter column can be included to specify the water level names and water level connections between the logs. If the water level table is already loaded, click the Water level table field and select the table from the list. Click the button to load the Water level table with the Open dialog. The water level table should use the same depth units and direction as the log tables.
The Symbol size property controls the size of the water level symbol. Type a value in page units in the Symbol size field or click the button to change the Symbol size value.
The Symbol alignment property aligns the symbol on the left, center, or right of the log. Click the current selection in the Symbol alignment and select Left, Center, or Right from the list.
The water level symbol is an inverted triangle with between one and three lines at the point. The Symbol style property specifies the number of lines. Click the current Symbol style selection and select One line, Two lines, or Three lines from the list.
The Line Properties section of the Water Level page controls the line properties for the water level symbol. See the Line Properties topic for more information on line properties.
The Fill Properties section of the Water Level page controls the fill properties for the water level symbol. See the Fill Properties topic for more information on fill properties.
The Label Properties section of the Water Level page controls the water level symbol labels.
Check the Show water level name check box to display labels next to the water level symbols. The labels are specified by the Water level name column. Uncheck the Show water level name check box to hide the water level labels.
The water level table can include a name column which is used to connect water levels across logs and display labels for the water level symbols. Select the column containing the water level names by clicking the Water level name column field and selecting a column from the list. The water level labels will be populated by the names in the Water level name column.
Connect water levels by name by checking the Connect water level(s) by names check box in the cross section properties. When the Water level name column does not contain data, Strater connects the water levels automatically. The Water level name column is also used to connect specific water levels between the logs. For example, if borehole 1 contains two water level names A and B and borehole 2 contains three water level names A, B, and C, the two A water level symbols and two B water level symbols will be connected by a line. When the Water level name column contains unique names for the water levels, no water level symbols will be connected as this indicates these are separate water levels.
The Offset method property controls the label offset direction from the water table symbol. Click the current selection and select Center, Left, Top, Right, Bottom, or User defined from the list to change the label offset. Selecting User defined enables the X offset and Y offset properties.
The X offset property moves the label to the left or right when the Offset method is set to User defined. Type a value in page units or click the buttons to change the X offset value.
The Y offset property moves the label up or down when the Offset method is set to User defined. Type a value in page units or click the buttons to change the Y offset value.
The Label angle property rotates the water level symbol labels. Type a value in degrees in the Label angle field or click and drag the slider to rotate the labels. Positive angle values rotate the labels counterclockwise.
The Nudge End Values option moves the starting and ending labels away from the edges of the log pane so that they are completely visible. This 'nudging' occurs only if the label is near the edge of the log pane, otherwise the location of the label does not change. Check the box next to Nudge End Values to move the labels. Uncheck the box to keep the labels in the depth location specified.
The Label Format section includes label formatting properties. See the Format Properties topic for more information on label format properties.
The Font Properties section includes label font formatting properties. See the Font Properties topic for more information on font format properties.

Most Tumski description and photos - Poland: Wroclaw. Detailed information about the attraction. Description, photographs and a map showing the nearest significant objects. The title in English is Most Tumski.
Photo and description
Tumski Bridge is a steel bridge over the Oder River in Wroclaw. The bridge was built in 1889 and replaced the old wooden bridge. In the past, the bridge was open to car traffic, but now it is a pedestrian bridge. Tumski Bridge is also called the Bridge of Lovers, as newlyweds often hang locks here, symbolizing their strong feelings, and the keys are thrown from the bridge into the river.
The first wooden bridge was built on this site in the 12th century and functioned until the middle 19th century, after which it was replaced by a modern steel bridge by the architect Alfred von Scholz. The two-span bridge is almost 53 meters long and 6.8 meters wide. The grand opening of the Tumski Bridge took place in the presence of the city authorities and Mayor Ferdinand Friedensburg.
In 1893, sculptures by Gustav Grunenberg appeared on the bridge: St. John the Baptist and St. Jadwiga. The bridge was lit by gas lanterns that can be seen today. In 1945, the first major overhaul of the bridge was carried out, required after the siege of the Breslau fortress.
In October 1976, the Tumskiy Bridge was included in the Register of Historical Monuments. Currently, Tumskiy Bridge is not only a tourist attraction, but also a favorite place for urban youth.

Its source is a Latin expression meaning "Soldier."
The name Myles ranked 295th in popularity for males of all ages in a sample of 2000-2003 Social Security Administration statistics and 813th in popularity for males of all ages in a sample of the 1990 US Census.
Though this name appears on the 1990 U.S. Census lists, it is used by only a small percentage of the general population.
Latin may be the source of the Germanic form, Milo, that this name assumed in the Middle Ages. Nothing is certain about this derivation, however, and speculation on the ultimate source ranges from the Hebrew name Michael to the Slovonic name element mil (grace).

1141d – Webinar – Personal Care Assistant Services "What are they and how do I access them?"
(March 2015) Personal Care Assistant services provide assistance to an individual with a disability who needs helps with activities of daily lives (ADLs). These skills are needed to function in every day life. Once families obtain Medical Assistance coverage, they may contact their local agency to request an assessment to determine eligibility and the level of need for the adopted child and family. It is important to understand the role of the PCA and how they can support adoptive families. The following will be discussed.

Proof that $\sqrt[3]{3}$ (Just need a check)
Let $\sqrt[3]{3}= \frac{a}{b}$ both a,b are integers of course. $\Rightarrow 3=\frac{a^{3}}{b^{3}}$ $\Rightarrow$ $3b^{3}=a^{3}$ $\Rightarrow$ 3b=a $\Rightarrow$ $3b^{3}=27b^{3}$ and this is a contradiction because the cubing function is a 1-1 function. Does this work?

Why is that $3b = a$? – Makoto Kato Sep 27 '12 at 5:10

No, $3b^3=a^3$ does not imply that $a=3b$. In fact if $a=3b$, then $a^3=(3b)^3=3^3b^3=27b^3$. What $3b^3=a^3$ does imply is that $3\mid a^3$, which then further implies that $3\mid a$. Then you have $a=3m$ for some integer $m$, and $3b^3=a^3=(3m)^3=27m^3$. Divide through by $3$ to get $b^3=9m^3$. Now $3\mid b^3$; what does this tell you about $b$? If you had begun by assuming (as you certainly may) that $\frac{a}b$ was in lowest terms, how would this be a contradiction?

Let $n \ge 2$ be an integer. Let $m \ge 2$ be a square free integer. I claim that $\sqrt[n]{m}$ is irrational. The claim that $\sqrt[3]{3}$ is irrational follows immediately.
Suppose $\sqrt[n]{m} = \frac{a}{b}$, where gcd$(a, b) = 1$. Then $b^n m = a^n$. Let $p$ be a prime number such that $p|m$. Since $p|a^n, p|a$. Hence $p^n|a^n$. Since $m$ is square free, $p^{n-1}|b^n$. Since $n \ge 2, p|b^n$. Hence $p|b$. Since gcd$(a, b) = 1$, this is a contradiction.

Below are a few ways to prove $\,3^{1/3}\,$ is irrational.
By the Rational Root Test, any rational root of $\rm\:x^3 - 3\:$ is an integer, contradiction.
$\rm\,3^{1/3} = a/b\:\Rightarrow\: a^3 = 3b^3\, $ contra unique factorization: the number of $3$'s in $\rm\,a^3\,$ is a multiple of $3$, versus one more than a multiple of $3$ in $\rm\,3b^3.$
Irrationality proofs for cube roots follow from irrationality proofs for square roots!
This inductive proof generalizes to higher-degree.

Supposing $\sqrt[3]{3}$ is a rational solution of an equation, we can assume $x=\sqrt[3]{3}$ and $x^3=3$. But $x^3=3 \Rightarrow x^3-3 =0$. The rational-root theorem tells us that for a polynomial $f(x) = a_nx^n + a_{n−1}x^{n−1} + \ldots + a_1x + a_0$ all of whose coefficients ($a_n$ through $a_0$) are integers, the real rational roots are always of the form $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ is an integer divisor of $a_0$ and $q$ is an integer divisor of $a_n$. In this equation the possible rational roots could be $3,-3,1,-1$ and there wasn't any $\sqrt[3]{3}$. So $\sqrt[3]{3}$ is an irrational number.

The Songs from Long Road
Book Description HTML | Report this book
The Songs from Long Road is a loose mosaic of 34 songs and four chapters of prose that deal with the Hopi Indian legend of Pahana. The story assumes that Pahana is/was a real figure, and attempts to place him in the historical context. As such, Long Road selects important historical and religious events in Western, American, and Mesoamerican history, add tales from American Indian mythology, and blends them into a narrative. With a blend of prose and poetry, The Songs from Long Road gives the reader a colorful and distinctly different viewpoint.

Net Gain Telecommunications
In telecommunications, net gain is the overall gain of a transmission circuit. Net gain is measured by applying a test signal at an appropriate power level at the input port of a circuit and measuring the power delivered at the output port. The net gain in dB is calculated by taking 10 times the common logarithm of the ratio of the output power to the input power.
The net gain expressed in dB may be positive or negative. If the net gain expressed in dB is negative, it is also called the net loss. If the net gain is expressed as a ratio, and the ratio is less than unity, a net loss is indicated.
The test signal must be chosen so that its power level is within the usual operating range of the circuit being tested.

The Shadower - Realistic Drop Shadows in Javascript
December 4, 2006
This has been done before, but not in such a simple and elegant way, in my opinion. This implementation has four important features that separate it from the rest: no images, no messy nested divs in your html code, no CSS, and realistic fading shadows! It is based on the Prototype Javascript Framework, and requires version 1.5, which you can get here.
Some Examples
Other drop shadow libraries that eschew images, provide their shadow by adding an absolutely positioned div just behind the object. Like so...
Example 1
(Drag Me Around)
I think you'll agree that that looks pretty bad. But it's a lot better with a little opacity tweak...
Example 2
(Drag Me Around)
But it still just looks like a gray box under there, doesn't it? That's where the magic of The Shadower comes in. Rather than just one gray box, it uses several successively smaller boxes stacked on top of each other to create a realistic drop shadow that really fades into the background.
Example 3
(Drag Me Around)
Now, doesn't that look better? Drag it up next to the others if you aren't convinced.
So how do I use it?
There are five parameters to play with in getting your drop shadow just right.
distance [default: 8]
The distance away from the shadowed element to draw the shadow. This can also be thought of as the height "above the page" of the shadowed object
angle [default: 130]
The direction away from the shadowed element to draw the shadow. It is measured in degrees from the vertical. If you think of it like the numbers on a clock, 12 is at 0°, 3 is at 90°, 6 is at 180°, 9 is at 270°, etc. The default angle of 130 would be between 3 and 4 on the clock face.
opacity [default: 0.7]
The opacity of the shadow, measured between 0.0 and 1.0.
nestedShadows [default: 4]
This is the number of gradually darker shadows to draw under the shadowed element.

text: AbstractCellulose fibres from sugarcane bagasse were bleached and modified by zirconium oxychloride in order to improve the mechanical properties of composites with high density polyethylene (HDPE). The mechanical properties of the composites prepared from chemically modified cellulose fibres were found to increase compared to those of bleached fibres. Tensile strengths of the composites showed a decreasing trend with increasing filler content. However, the values for the chemically modified cellulose fibres/HDPE composites at all mixing ratios were found to be higher than that of neat HDPE. Results of water immersion tests showed that the water absorption affected the mechanical properties. The fracture surfaces of the composites were recorded using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM micrographs revealed that interfacial bonding between the modified filler and the matrix was significantly improved by the fibre modification.

To replace a textbox by a picturebox, you can use 3 different types of tokens :
Each of the above will replace the textbox in which it is, by a picturebox.
-All other tokens within that textbox will be ignored, if a graphics file is associated with the token for the current textbox (this is not necessarily the case).
-If no graphics file is associated with an image token for the current textbox, then the textbox is not changed to a picturebox, and all other tokens included in that textbox are evaluated normally.
-However zap tokens supercede all other tokens and, in a textbox which includes both zap and image tokens, if the zap token evaluates to a result which deletes the textbox, then that textbox will be deleted, regardless of the result of the image token.

COUNTIES:BOUNDARIES FORMED BY RIVERS -- RIVERS: CHANGING COURSE OF, AS AFFECTING COUNTY BOUNDARY
A sudden change in the course of a river which forms the boundary between counties does not change the boundary to conform to the new course of the river.

Honorable George W. Sibbald
Prosecuting Attorney of Cowlitz County
Cowlitz County Court House
Kelso, Washington Cite as: AGO 57-58 No. 57
Attention: Mr. Richard L. Norman, Deputy
By letter of April 15, 1957, previously acknowledged, you have requested the opinion of this office concerning the location of the boundary between Clark and Cowlitz counties. We quote from your letter:
"Several years ago when primary state highway No. 1 (U.S. 99) was constructed, the Lewis River was diverted and a horseshoe bend was left high and dry. This diversion involves approximately 65 acres of land and a few home sites. Said property, before the diversion, was considered part of Clark County and is on Clark County assessment rolls. Our county commissioners feel that since the course of the Lewis River was moved that said property is now properly within the boundaries of Cowlitz County and should be on Cowlitz County's assessment rolls."
Your question may be paraphrased as follows:
[[Orig. Op. Page 2]]
Is there any legal basis for the institution of an action by Cowlitz county to establish the boundary between Cowlitz and Clark counties along the present course of the Lewis River?
We answer in the negative.
The common law rule with regard to changes in the course of a river that forms a boundary of a piece of land is stated as follows in Hirt v. Entus, 37 Wn. (2d) 418, quoting fromHarper v. Holston, 119 Wash. 436:
"'... when grants of land border on running water, and the course of the stream is changed by that process known as accretion‑-that is to say, the gradual washing away on the one side and the gradual building up on the other‑-the owner's boundary changes with the changing course of the stream....
"'On the other hand, it is equally the rule that, when a stream which is a boundary, from any cause, suddenly abandons its old channel and creates a new one, or suddenly washes from one of its banks a considerable body of land and deposits it on the opposite bank, the boundary does not change with changed course of the stream, but remains as it was before. This sudden and rapid change is termed in law an avulsion, and differs from an accretion in that the one is violent and visible, while the other is gradual, and perceptible only after a lapse of time.'..."
Although our Washington cases dealing with this question have been concerned only with privately-owned property, rather than county boundaries as created by statute, this common law rule has been consistently applied by other courts in cases involving shifting river courses forming boundaries between counties. See, for example,Blair v. U. S. (Okla.), 32 F. (2d) 130;Witt v. Willis, (Ky.), 85 S.W. 223; Fitzsimmons v. Cassity (La.), 172 So. 824; Randolph v. Moberly Hunting & Fishing Club (Mo.), 15 S.W. (2d) 834;Nothstine v. Feldmann (Mo.), 8 S.W. (2d) [[Orig. Op. Page 3]] 912;Jacobs v. Stoner (Mo.), 7 S.W. (2d) 698; andState v. Huffman (Mo.), 2 S.W. (2d) 582.
It is our opinion that the facts as you have related them present a clear case of avulsion, and that therefore the boundary between Clark and Cowlitz counties continues to exist, so far as the disputed 65 acres are concerned, along the course that the Lewis River followed prior to the construction of primary state highway No. 1.
We trust this opinion will be of assistance to you.
Very truly yours,
JOHN J. O'CONNELL

version of definition below. Definition 1: A prefix-closed live language L is said to be uniformly [1, ∞]-diagnosable with respect to a mask function M and Πf on Σf if the following holds: (∃nd ∈ N)(∀i ∈ Πf )(∀s ∈ L)(∀t ∈ L/s) [|t| ≥ nd ⇒ D∞ ] where N is the set of non-negative integers and the diagnosability condition D∞ is D∞ : (∀w ∈ M −1 M (st) ∩ L) [ Nwi ≥ Nsi ]. In [13], by letting counting delays depend on the trace executed by the system, the notion of nonuniform [1, ∞]diagnosability was defined. We also recall this notion below. Definition 2: A prefix-closed live language L is said to be nonuniformly [1, ∞]-diagnosable with respect to a mask function M and Πf on Σf if the following holds: (∀i ∈ Πf )(∀s ∈ L)(∃ndi ∈ N)(∀t ∈ L/s) [|t| ≥ ndi ⇒ D∞ ] where N is the set of non-negative integers and the diagnosability condition D∞ is D∞ : (∀w ∈ M −1 M (st) ∩ L) [ Nwi ≥ Nsi ]. From the above definitions, we know that uniform [1, ∞]diagnosability implies nonuniform [1, ∞]-diagnosability. Note that the above definitions are based on multiple fault types. Hereafter, we only consider a single fault type (Πf = {Σf }), since multiple fault type characterization does not provide further insight in this paper. All results presented in this paper should be modifiable straightforwardly in order to be applied to multiple fault types.
In the following section, we develop algorithms for verifying uniform [1, ∞]-diagnosability and nonuniform [1, ∞]diagnosability. The developed algorithms improve the ones presented in [13]. IV. V ERIFICATION OF R EPEATED FAULT D IAGNOSABILITY Let A be a finite-state automaton generating the behavior of the system and let M be a mask function for events defined over ΣA . We construct a directed graph G(A, M ) = (V (A), E(A, M )) in order to track the fault difference of two system traces producing the same masked trace. For notational convenience, we may drop the dependency notation of G(A, M ), when it is considered to be clear from the context. The construction procedure follows the one presented in [13] and attached as an appendix at the end of the paper. The following two verification theorems improve the corresponding presentations appeared in [13]. Let C be the set of all cycles of G. Theorem 1: L(A) is nonuniformly [1, ∞]-diagnosable w.r.t. M and Σf if and only if for all C :=< v1 , v2 , . . . , vn+1 >∈ C where v1 = vn+1 , the following three conditions hold: 1) (∃i ∈ {1, . . . , n})[−1 ∈ w[(vi , vi+1 )]] ⇒ (∃j ∈ ˆ {1, . . . , n})[w[(vj , vj+1 )] ∈ 2{0,+1} \ ∅]; this condition guarantees eventual fault counting. 2) (∀i ∈ {1, . . . , n})[0− ∈ w[(vi , vi+1 )]] ⇒ (∀i ∈ {1, . . . , n + 1})[short[vi ] ≥ 0]; this condition handles unobservable cycles. 3) (∀i ∈ {1, . . . , n})[{0− , 0, 0+ } ∩ w[(vi , vi+1 )] 6= ∅] ∧ (∃i ∈ {1, . . . , n})[0 ∈ w[(vi , vi+1 )]] ⇒ (∀i ∈ {1, . . . , n + 1})[short[vi ] = 0]; this condition handles observable non-faulty cycles. The above result can be utilized for the polynomial-time verification of nonuniform [1, ∞]-diagnosability. Let |QA | = n1 and |ΣA | = n2 . Theorem 2: Let A be a deterministic automaton. The nonuniform [1, ∞]-diagnosability of L(A) with respect to M and Σf can be decided with O(min(n31 · n22 , n51 )) time and O(min(n21 · n22 , n41 )) space. The set-weighted, directed graph G can be utilized in order to verify uniform [1, ∞]-diagnosability as follows. The underlined condition 1 replaces the condition 1 of Theorem 1. Theorem 3: L(A) is uniformly [1, ∞]-diagnosable w.r.t. M and Σf iff the following three conditions hold. 1) (∀v ∈ V )[−∞ < short[v] < inf ]; this guarantees the uniformly bounded delay counting. 2) (∀i ∈ {1, . . . , n})[0− ∈ w[(vi , vi+1 )]] ⇒ (∀i ∈ {1, . . . , n + 1})[short[vi ] ≥ 0]; this condition handles unobservable cycles. 3) (∀i ∈ {1, . . . , n})[{0− , 0, 0+ } ∩ w[(vi , vi+1 )] 6= ∅] ∧ (∃i ∈ {1, . . . , n})[0 ∈ w[(vi , vi+1 )]] ⇒ (∀i ∈ {1, . . . , n + 1})[short[vi ] = 0]; this condition handles observable non-faulty cycles. The above result can be utilized for the polynomial-time verification of uniform [1, ∞]-diagnosability. Note that, when A is a deterministic finite-state automaton, the worst case

New algorithm O(min(n31 · n22 , n51 )) O(min(n21 · n22 , n41 ))
TABLE I C OMPARISON OF VERIFICATION ALGORITHMS FOR UNIFORM [1, ∞]- DIAGNOSABILITY
computational complexity of the algorithm in [6] becomes O(n41 · n22 ) time and O(min(n41 · n22 , n61 )) space. The following result shows that the verification algorithm utilizing Theorem 3 reduces the computational efforts. Theorem 4: Let A be a deterministic finite-state automaton. The uniform [1, ∞]-diagnosability of L(A) with respect to M and Σf can be decided with O(min(n31 · n22 , n51 )) time and O(min(n21 · n22 , n41 )) space. Table I compares the worst case computational efforts of the algorithm in [6] and our verification algorithm for uniform [1, ∞]-diagnosability. Remark 1: In [13], we showed that uniform [1, ∞]diagnosability implies nonuniform [1, ∞]-diagnosability, but not vice versa. The difference between Theorems 2 and 3 lies in the condition 1. The condition 1 of Theorem 3 implies the condition 1 of Theorem 2, but not vice versa. Remark 2: Note that the condition 1 of Theorem 2 does not require the shortest path computation, which is the dominating step regarding the computational complexity of the algorithm. The second condition of Theorem 2 does not need to be checked if there is no unobservable cycle in the automaton A. The third condition of Theorem 2 is required to be checked only if there is a fault free cycle in the automaton A. Therefore, we can decide if the shortest path computation is required by examining the existence of unobservable cycles and faultfree cycles of the automaton A. These examinations take O(n1 ·n2 ), which is significantly lower than those constructing G and computing the shortest paths of G. Therefore, if the automaton A is free of unobservable cycles and fault-free cycles, we only need to verify the condition 1 of Theorem 1 in order to verify nonuniform [1, ∞]-diagnosability. However, the condition 1 of Theorem 3 still requires to conduct the shortest path computation over G. V. O N - LINE D IAGNOSIS FOR R EPEATED FAULTS Building the deterministic observer automaton of a partiallyobserved automaton takes exponential time and space w.r.t. the number of state of the partially-observed automaton. The basic building block of off-line diagnoser construction relies on the construction of observer automaton and exponential computational complexity is carried over.

Can Dogs Eat Potatoes or Sweet Potatoes?
Published: July 30, 2020
Share this:
Potatoes are popular root vegetables that serve as a source of starch and other nutrients for humans. But can dogs eat potatoes? It depends on the type of potato and whether it's cooked or not.
Here's some insight on whether potatoes and sweet potatoes are safe or beneficial for dogs to eat.
Can Dogs Have Potatoes?
Potatoes provide a common source of starch and protein in commercial dog foods. Potato protein is also often found in limited ingredient diets for dogs. These ingredients are processed and formulated specifically for the nutritional requirement of dogs.
But what if your dog eats a piece of a potato? Is it bad for them? What if the potato is raw?
Can Dogs Eat Raw Potatoes or Raw Sweet Potatoes?
White potatoes are vegetables in the nightshade family that contain a compound called solanine. This is toxic to dogs, and therefore, they should never eat raw potatoes. Cooking a potato helps reduce the amount of solanine so that it's safe for dogs.
Raw sweet potatoes can cause digestive upset in dogs. And both raw white potatoes and raw sweet potatoes can cause intestinal blockages.
Can Dogs Eat Cooked White Potatoes?
If you decide to feed your dog part of a white potato, it must be well-cooked with no added butter or seasoning. Potato products such as potato chips, French fries or mashed potatoes can contain an excess amount of fat and salt that is not healthy for dogs.
If your dog has diabetes, do not feed them potatoes, as they can cause spikes in blood sugar.
Any potato that's given as a treat, even in small amounts, should be counted along with other treats to represent a maximum of 10% of your dog's daily calorie intake.
Can Dogs Eat Sweet Potatoes That Are Cooked?
Boiled, steamed, baked, or dehydrated sweet potatoes can be great snacks for your dog. However, check with your veterinarian before adding sweet potato to your dog's diet because too much vitamin A can cause bone problems and muscle weakness.
In addition, sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic index than white potatoes, but veterinary supervision should be used before feeding sweet potato to a diabetic dog.
Calories from sweet potatoes should also be counted toward the 10% maximum amount of calories that your dog can have from treats each day.
Can Dogs Eat Potato Skins?
Potato skins can be difficult to digest, so it is recommended to remove any skin from a white or sweet potato before feeding it to your dog.

Example sentence:
If someone is scared, he tries to keep his head down while he listens to others.
But I know head down means going south. So did I write the sentence correctly?
 - 1
 When you say "I'm going to head down", the word head is a verb. When you say "I felt ashamed and kept my head down", the word head is a noun. In your example sentence, there's the possessive determiner his: "his head". A determiner cannot occur before a verb. – CowperKettle Dec 3 '15 at 17:01
"To keep one's head down" literally means to hide in order to protect oneself. You can imagine that, in a war zone, you would not want to have your head exposed to the enemy. This phrase is frequently used figuratively to mean "To avoid drawing attention to oneself". It has the same meaning as "To keep a low profile".
"To head down" does not always refer to traveling south. You might say "I'm going to head down to the store today" even if the store is northwest of you. It's simply a colloquial way of saying that you're going somewhere. "Down" in this context is as in "Down the road". You can also say "Up the road", which has a slightly different connotation but the two phrases are often interchangeable.

 I would add to your first sentence by saying that you can literally keep your head down but you can also figuratively do that by keeping quiet, or not drawing attention to yourself, ect. – Sam Harrington Dec 3 '15 at 17:19
 - but yeah that answer is correct and helpful – Sam Harrington Dec 3 '15 at 17:20
In this case, 'If one is scared, he keeps his head down...' refers to the physical process of trying to remain small and unobserved while danger is present. This could be literal, as in crouching behind a wall, or figurative, as in keeping quiet in an argument.
In your other usage, 'head' is being used as a synonym for 'go,' as in 'I'm going to head down to the cafe.' (Down implies either a lower floor in a building, a lower-numbered street, or a Southern direction.)
Another common use of 'head down' you may encounter is to indicate that someone is deeply concentrating or studying, e.g. 'She's been head down in that physics text all afternoon.'
Having your head down can also mean a form a submission or defeat. As in, "The losing team was all seen with their heads down." The servants bowed with their heads down upon the lord's return to the manor.

What I have is a LineItem object and a collection called LineItems that holds LineItem objects. My LineItem objects have a property called ItemDate (DateTime data type) and another property called ItemAmount (decimal data type) and another property called ItemCategory (integer data type).
What I am trying to do is write a function in my collection object that will return the integer category in whichever category has the highest sum(ItemAmount) of that category. For example, if I had this:
Object 1:
Object 2:
Object 3:
OK so in this example, the function should return 2 since ItemCategory 2 had a bigger ItemAmount (535) than ItemCategory 1 (50+25 = 75).
This I know how to do. What makes it harder though is I need it to be able to do this over time, meaning, if an amount has a large amount, like 535, but some other objects have smaller amounts, but there are more of them to closer dates, then it needs to be techically "larger" than the other amount. It is almost like the amount needs to take into account frequency too. $10 amount occuring everyday needs to be "larger" than $500 occuring once a year, even if the $500 is larger than $10 every day. It is almost like I need to look at a month of data through a year's magnifing glass.
I hope this question makes sense.

Assign the amount a weight based on timespan since last time? – dtb Jul 19 '10 at 17:24
Your description lacks sufficient detail to create an algorithm. Perhaps you need to simply divide the amount by some function (linear, square,...) of the date difference between now and the date it occurred so that near events are worth more? Is it age or frequency you care about? If frequency, over what duration? How do you know if the $500 is a one-off or just the first in a series of $500 payments? etc. etc. – Ian Mercer Jul 19 '10 at 17:26
ok maybe this will help. What I'm doing is creating a.NET program to manage my finances. Whenever I buy stuff, I want to be able to sort the collection on whatever category has the most amount spent. Food is something I buy everyday and therefore my program should track it normally. Once in a while though, I may buy something out of the blue. For example, if I need to buy ink for my printer, then i really don't need to track this because my money is not being "burned" buying ink. It was a "one-time" thing. Even though I might be $100 transaction, it shouldn't track this on a daily basis. – icemanind Jul 19 '10 at 17:45
I guess I only care about tracking stuff that actually occurs more then a few times a week. – icemanind Jul 19 '10 at 17:46

Try this:
class ListItem
 internal DateTime When;
 internal decimal Amount;
 internal int Category;
class ListItems
 internal List _items = new List();
 internal int GetCategory(DateTime from, DateTime to)
 Dictionary totals = _items
 .Where(y => y.When >= from && y.When < to)
 .GroupBy(x => x.Category)
 category => category.Key,
 category => category.Sum(item => item.Amount)
 return totals.Keys
 .Where(category => totals[category] == totals.Values.Max())
The Linq's a bit of a mouthful, but if I understand the question correctly, I think it'll work.

Sounds like you might want a traveling window sum: pick a time period (say, 30 days), and track the total of items within that window.
If you just want a single instance (say, 30 days ending right now), of course all you need to do is sum up those items within the window. But, if you want to plot a graph, it is most efficient to sort your items, and perform a running accumulation; add items coming into the window, and subtract items leaving it.
To implement a traveling window, you can use two iterators into a sorted list (the following is pseudocode, not C#):
// initialize
acc= 0.0
for(startP= SortedItems.begin;!startP.last; startP.next) {
 if(startP.item.time > graphstart - timewindow) { break }
for(endP= startP;!endP.last; endP.next) {
 acc += endP.item.value
 if(endP.item.time > graphstart) { break }
// main loop
for(;!endP.last; endP.next) { // advance time window to next item
 endItem= endP.item
 endTime= endItem.time
 for(;!startP.last; startP.next) { // subtract items leaving time window
 startItem= startP.item
 startTime= startItem.time
 if(startTime > endTime - timewindow) { break }
 acc -= startItem.value
 output(startTime + timewindow, acc) // register graph values coming down
 acc += endItem.value
 output(endTime, acc) // register graph value going up

Room 72: Ancient Cyprus
Bronze bowl handles
From Cyprus, about 850-750 BC
Decorated with lotus flowers
These handles would have been riveted onto the upper sides of one or more roughly hemispherical bowls. The lotus flowers would have appeared above the rim. Bronze bowls of this variety are typically Cypriot and occur in Cyprus between about 1050 and 750 BC. However, none of the surviving examples is as large as the bowls to which these handles must have belonged. From Cyprus they were introduced to the Near East, the Greek world and Italy.
The bronze bowls perhaps derive from earlier Cypriot bowls of pottery that have a single handle that is visible over the rim. A roughly hemispherical bronze bowl has a single riveted handle and a knob, in place of a lotus flower, appearing above the rim. It comes from a Cypriot tomb of the mid-eleventh century BC, and may form a link between the pottery and the bronze series.

How do you get rid of water spots naturally?
Vinegar. Vinegar is a safe, all-natural household cleaner with the amazing ability to combat hard water stains. Pour some in a spray bottle and squirt any surface where you find hard water stains. Let it sit for five to 15 minutes to give the vinegar time to break down the minerals in the chalky, white stain.
How do you treat water spots?
Using A Distilled Water + White Vinegar Solution For Water Spot Removal. You wouldn't believe it, but one of the most effective solutions for hard water stains and mineral deposits is white vinegar. White vinegar contains natural acetic acid, which will readily dissolve calcium carbonate and other minerals.
What removes hard water spots?
Step 1: Create your cleaning solution by mixing 2 parts distilled water and 1 part white vinegar in a large bowl.
- Step 2: Pour the solution into a spray bottle.
- Step 3: Spray the mixture on the hard water stains.
- Step 4: Rub the water stains gently with a soft, clean cloth.
Can I spray vinegar on houseplants?
Vicious Vinegar and Your Houseplants While vinegar is nontoxic to cats and humans, it is harmful to plants because it contains 5 percent acetic acid. If you spray vinegar on the leaves of your houseplants, it will destroy their cell membranes, warns the Northwest Center for Alternatives to Pesticides.
Does vinegar remove hard water deposits?
Vinegar is one of the most effective and versatile house cleaning products available, and it's perfect for removing hard water stains. So long as you also have rubber gloves, a spray bottle, a cloth, and a spare toothbrush, you'll have no trouble getting rid of the hard water stains in your home.
Does WD-40 remove hard water stains?
You probably didn't know you could use WD-40 for bathroom cleaning, but because it's a lubricant that's not as harsh as most chemicals you use in the bathroom, it's great for getting rid of hard water stains and other stubborn stains without harming your surfaces.
Are water spots permanent?
These harmless looking spots can permanently damage your cars paint by etching into the clear coat. Especially during the summer months when the sun is baking the spots into the paint. Over time, repeated exposure to hard water without cleaning the paint will make these spots hard or even impossible to remove.
What is the best way to remove water spots from a car?
Mix 1 part regular white vinegar with 1 part distilled water (soft water is good too). It's better not to use regular tap water which contains minerals. Apply the vinegar/water solution with a spray bottle on to the affected paint finish. Allow mixture to work for up to 10 minutes.
Does clay bar remove water spots?
Wash your car as normal, but before drying use a clay bar and clay lubricant to remove contaminants. Check out this guide to claying your paint. This will remove all water spots and etchings as well as removing light scratches from your car's paint.
Does CLR remove hard water stains?
CLR cleans what many household products can't. It dissolves and removes tough stains from the build-up of calcium, limescale and surface rust from hard water.
What removes hard water stains from glass shower doors?
The best way to remove hard water stains from your shower doors is to do so using regular household items such as white vinegar and baking soda.
How do I remove calcium deposits from my shower?
The acetic acid in white vinegar acts as a solvent, which helps to dissolve the mineral deposits that are clogging up your showerhead. After soaking in vinegar for an hour or two, that build up should wash away the next time you turn your shower on.
Can I spray my plants with white vinegar?
You have to be careful when spraying it around certain plants as it may be harmful to some, but when used on those pesky hard-to-kill weeds, they will disappear in two to three days' time. Combine a gallon of white vinegar, one cup of salt, and a couple tablespoons of dish soap to get the job done.
Will white vinegar hurt my plant?
Vinegar is non-selective, meaning it will damage any plants and turf grass it touches, not just the weeds you are trying to kill. When you spray the vinegar onto weeds, make sure it isn't hitting other plants.
Can I clean plant leaves with vinegar?
Mixing vinegar with water is especially effective at getting rid of residue buildup on leaves. However, do not overdo it. This one is not meant to be part of routine plant maintenance, but instead only when needed. Then dip the cloth in your mix and apply to gently to your plants.


The Structure
The Hothouse itself is an inspiring, purpose-built creative space on Salamanca Lawns, designed by Sydney's Cave Urban and University of Tasmania Masters of Architecture students.
The design of the Hothouse is intended to bring a conversation about education in Tasmania into the public and community sphere.
By placing the structure on Salamanca Lawns, education is brought out of private, personal and professional contexts and into a shared space.
The permeable structure encourages participation through its open entrances, the woven bamboo walls and roof allow the outside world and context to permeate the conversations and thinking within the house and smaller pod spaces.
Rather than a space to simply house people, the Hothouse helps facilitate and cultivate a context of openness, collaboration and community. A space in which subject experts, community members, young people and influencers can openly discuss and debate education.
