Introduction to Bow Making
Learn to make a fully functional american flat bow!
Of the class fee, $60 is for the class, and $30 for materials and the tools. Both of which the student will keep at the end of the class. (the tools and materials, not the money.)
The class will cover:
In this one day intro course I will teach basic design and construction of a red oak american flat bow, and help the students make a fully functional wood bow. Future classes with more advanced skills will be taught at a future date.
The class will include a brief description of what archery "tackle", or gear, is needed to actually use a bow, including bow strings, arrows, forearm protection (vambraces), finger protection (archery tabs or shooting gloves), quivers, and bow cases.
Ideally each student will complete this class with a fully functional bow. However, due to the fact that the students will be making the bow, and that wood under tension can break, I can make no guarantee of success. If the bow does break while under construction, there will be options for scheduling additional time to complete a bow.The design used in this class should yield a bow of between 30 and 45 pounds draw weight, depending on the students preference.
The class length of 8 hours will cover all the information needed to construct a bow, but sometimes, more time is needed for a student to finish their bow. Each student has an open invitation to return to work on their bow, at no additional charge, based on the instructors availability. Students may return to work on their bow during any listed future class session, and additional time may be arranged with the instructor.
This class will cover making this bow both with and without the use of power tools. The use of power tools will be optional for each student, with the caveat that while it's very easy to make a bow fast with power tools, it's also very easy to wreck one fast.
Once the bow itself is completed, you will need at least a bow string and arrows to use it, at the barest minimum. Arrows can be purchased locally, and the class will cover the information you need to select the right arrows. Strings can be bought locally, but I will offer finished bowstrings as an option, seperate from the class, at a cost of $10, made by the instructor.

External Models vs Pyramid Models
The Model tools provide a powerful set of capabilities when:
 - data models are not available for a given data stack;
 - when data needs to be fixed;
 - if users want to design and apply complex data logic like machine learning;
 - or if multiple data sources need to be blended ("mash-up").
In these scenarios, Pyramid's internal semantic data model layer provides a convenient way to consume the underlying data source and it comfortably matches the most powerful semantic data technologies in the market, especially when coupled with the calculation options of the Formulate tools.
However, in other scenarios when using external analytic technologies like Microsoft OLAP, SAP BW or SAP HANA, Pyramid data models do NOT need to be authored since Pyramid can directly consume these external data models as designed in those technologies - presenting the user with the full power and depth of those technologies through both Pyramid's querying and calculation tools.
Functional Differences
Importantly, Pyramid offers near identical functionality across both external and internal models to end userscovering every aspect of the platform including data visualizations, formulations, presentations and publications. This means the full depth of Pyramid's querying and calculation engines have been engineered to produce almost identical analytic outcomes without deprecating functionality.
Ultimately, this allows customers to be indifferent between the underlying technology stack driving any given BI project. In fact, it means users can jump between different visuals in the same dashboard, driven by different technologies, and not notice a difference in function or feature if the business and technical problem demanded a multi-data technology solution.
Administrative Differences
The main differences between external and internal models related primarily to admin settings. Typically, Pyramid offers stronger facilities to manage and secure its own models ; while it (rightly) assumes the managements and security of external data models will be handled by their own proprietary tools.

In industrial robotic manipulator, due to the presence of quite nonlinear dynamic and structural and nonstructural uncertainties, a precise model is not easily obtained. As a result, designing a controller with a suitable function based on system model is a challenging issue. Sliding mode control is a robust control with numerous applications which can overcome the aforementioned uncertainties. However, this control method has several defects such as chattering in input control in implementing stage. In this article, Fuzzy sliding mode control based on TSK method for controlling manipulator position tracking is suggested. This control method not only has advantages of sliding mode but also it has no chattering control effect in implementation process. To exhibit the function of sliding mode control, a case study is implemented on a robot manipulator with two revolute joints. The mathematical proofs and the simulation results reveal the desirable efficiency of Fuzzy sliding mode control.

Mystcraft is a mod that provides you with the ability to create new dimensions to play in, known as Ages. At first the Ages you visit will be random, but as you continue you'll gain the ability to shape these new worlds to your desires.
Ages can vary wildly in appearance. They can be similar or near-identical to the Overworld, or somewhat similar to the Nether, or sky islands similar in style to the End; or they can be completely alien, with strange crystals or tendrils, brightly coloured skies and too many suns.
Safely using Mystcraft requires knowing how to make Linking Books and Descriptive Books, as well as what to keep in your hotbar. It is possible to get stuck in an age, and be unable to return to the Overworld, or any other dimension, without cheating. This is both known, and intentional; this mimics the source material the mod is based on.
Setting Up
In order to start creating new ages you will need:
 - A steady supply of sugarcane for paper
 - A large supply of cows or leather for books
 - A nearby water source capable of spawning squids for ink sacs
 - A couple of glass bottles for Ink Vials
Main article: Linking Book
Linking Books allow you to teleport from anywhere in any dimension to the location where that Linking Book was linked. This is the first type of Mystcraft book that you will want to create. The other type are Descriptive Books, sometimes called Age books, which allow you to create and travel to a new Age. Linking Books are how you get back out of an Age, and are often the only way to return: If you die in an Age, you will respawn in that Age.
To make a Linking Book, you need an Ink Mixer, in which you can use Paper and Ink Vials to create Link Panels. Combine a Link Panel with a piece of Leather to make an Unlinked Link Book. Take it to the location you wish to link to, and face in the direction you want to come out facing in, then right click with the book to create the link.
Warning to server operators: Linking books permit extremely cheap and almost unrestricted teleportation between any place your players have been to. If you want to restrict the free teleportation, look into Linking Tweaks.
Bookstands and Lecterns
Bookstands and Lecterns serve to hold books in safety. Both are identical in function, differing only in their aesthetic appearance.
When you travel through a book, the book you use will stay behind. If you use a book from your inventory, you will drop it as you teleport. Dropped books appear as an entity, not as an item, and can take damage; a book that gets wet, including on the ground when it rains, will take damage, and will eventually be destroyed. A book that is placed in a Lectern or Bookstand will never take damage.
New Ages
Main article: Age Creation
Once you have Linking Books which link back to your home, you can begin to consider going to new Ages. A random Age can be made by putting a linking panel and leather into a Book Binder. Additional pages can be added if you want to influence the resultant world, but are not needed.
For safety, you want to bring at least the following items with you to the new Age:
 1. Three return linking books home. Two in the hotbar, one in inventory.
 2. Two bookstands or lecterns, in hotbar.
 3. A chest, in hotbar.
 4. Some light sources (such as torches, glowstone, etc.), in hotbar.
 5. Recommended: A Potion of Night Vision. Your new age may be a Cave World, which have a similar terrain generation to the Nether, but lacking the natural background lighting and glowstone.
 6. Recommended: Backup weapons, tools and armor. If you die, these might come in handy.
On arrival, plan to do the following:
 1. Immediately place one bookstand/lectern, and place one of the books from your hotbar into it. This is your primary way home. Place down some lighting around it.
 2. Look around. Assess the immediate area, and see what's in the distance. If the world appears to be highly unstable, you can use the book you just placed down to escape.
 3. If you plan to stay for any length of time, then move a short distance away, place down the chest, and into it put the spare linkbook and spare bookstand/lectern from your inventory.
 4. If you brought any backup weapons/tools/armor, leave those in the chest as well. If you die, you'll respawn where you entered, close to this chest.
 5. The third linking book remains in your hotbar at all times. This is your emergency exit, so keep it available!
If you die in this new Age, you will respawn in the Age at the location where you first entered. Upon respawning, the very first thing you should do before anything else is retrieve the backup book from the chest, and place it on your hotbar. Don't forget to replace the book in the chest once you're able to! Alternatively, you may wish to immediately leave the Age using the primary book on the stand/lectern, and retrieve tools/weapons/armor and a new linking book from your home base before returning.
Never remove the last return home linkbook from your hotbar. Keep it available at all times. Regard this as the number one rule of Mystcraft in all cases.
Further reading
There are several topics you can look at to do more with this mod.
The Writing Desk will let you make copies of symbols, and is useful as a place for storing and organising notebooks.
You can use a Notebook to store pages; these can be placed in the writing desk, or used to transfer pages to and from the book binder. (In later versions, the Notebook has been replaced with the very similar Collation Folder and the Symbol Portfolio.)
Archivist villagers can be found in approximately half of the villages generated, and will trade you symbol pages.
Libraries are found in every Mystcraft age. These always have some wood, and stone, as well as lecterns. You will often find Pages in Libraries; this is the main way in which you'll locate new symbols. The wood and stone will always give you access to basic tools, even if the world you are in has no trees or stone ground to work with. Furthermore, if you destroy the book cases there will be a chest in one of the corners; this chest contains pages and sometimes a notebook. Note that in some cases, you might not be able to reach the Libraries.
Crystal blocks can be found in some ages. These glowstone-like blocks can be used to make portals, that a linking book can be placed into. Such a portal can be almost any size (limited by loaded chunks), and will permit arbitrary entities to pass though -- including minecarts (chest, hopper, etc). Some mods, such as RotaryCraft, permit interactions across these portals.
Getting Home Without Linking Books
If you get into trouble, this is what you want to know.
Without Cheats
Every Age has a roughly one in ten chance of containing a Star Fissure, which appears as an irregular-shaped hole located close to the Age's spawn point which passes all the way down through the bedrock into the void. Jumping into a Star Fissure will return you to the Overworld, near spawn - this is the in-game mechanism for getting home, without cheating. You may also be able to find a page for a Star Fissure in a library; if so, you can use that in a book binder to create an Age that is guaranteed to have one.
If you are playing in multiplayer, you may be able to get a friend to enter the Age you are in and bring linking books for you both to leave again.
Using Cheats
If you need to cheat to get home (for example, if you are trapped in a rapidly decaying or otherwise deadly Age), the command to use is "/tpx 0". If you are in single player, and cannot normally use cheats, you can "Open to LAN", and enable cheats there.
If a server op needs to get someone else home, then "/tpx playername 0" will work.
Main article: Instability (Mystcraft)
Instability affects some Ages and manifests itself in various ways; the effects of instability can range from non-stop lightning and detrimental potion effects, to sunlight so intense that it will light you on fire. At its most extreme, the terrain of the Age can be torn apart and consumed by the spread of Decay.
There are two main sources of instability which a player will typically encounter.
Worlds whose symbols cause them to generate extra resources will be unstable. This is often the result of the Dense Ores symbol being used, or a result of a particular terrain feature being made out of a valuable block or liquid. The more valuable the resource, as well as how abundant it is, will determine the amount of instability. The most frequent source of instability tends to be oceans of some mod-added liquid -- Ages with these will generally be so unstable that the Age will need to be abandoned.
The second, usually lesser source of instability is badly written worlds (if you are using the book binder to make customized worlds). If symbols are included in the

Construction work is truck intensive and hard-working trucks can develop problems. Sometimes, they don't even have to work hard, just long. Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain 2022 model year Tundra (including HEV) vehicles in the U. S. Approximately 46,000 vehicles are involved in this recall.
Vehicles in this recall have certain nuts on the rear axle assembly that can loosen over time, and, in some cases, fall off, potentially causing an axle shaft sub-assembly to separate from the axle. If complete separation occurs, this can affect vehicle stability and brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will inspect and retighten the axle flange nuts. In some cases, axle-related components may be replaced based on inspection results. As is customary (and regulated), owners of involved vehicles will be notified, in this case by late July 2022.
To see if your vehicle is involved in a safety recall visit the Toyota recall Website or the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) website and enter your VIN (vehicle identification number) or license plate information. Information about automotive recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is current as of today's filing date and is subject to change thereafter.

Can you trademark a flavor or taste?
No, you cannot trademark a flavor. While a flavor will distinguish the taste of your product from another competing product, it cannot be trademarked as it serves an "essential functional aspect" of the product.
Trademarks cover the identifying factors of a product, such as its name, logo, or associated slogan. Trademarks serve to strengthen a company's reputation by distinguishing it from its competitors; a flavor cannot do so, as a consumer cannot experience the flavor prior to purchasing the product.
If you give a unique name to a flavor, that unique name can be trademarked. A distinct flavor name can serve as a product's name or slogan in a way that could be trademarked. If you utilize a unique flavor name in relation to a particular product, then over time the unique name will develop a secondary meaning that is associated with the specific product. That secondary meaning is grounds for trademarking, and will prevent competitors from applying a similar name to flavors associated with their products.
Contact us today if you are curious about trademarking a unique flavor name, as this branch of trademark law can be quite confusing.

Background: Melasma, which is fairly common in Indians, causes significant emotional and psychological impact. A Hindi instrument would be useful to assess the impact of melasma on the quality of life in Indian patients. Objective: To create a semantic equivalent of the original MELASQOL questionnaire in Hindi and validate it. Methods: A Hindi adaptation of the original MELASQOL (Hi-MELASQOL) was prepared using previously established guidelines. After pre-testing, the Hi-MELASQOL questionnaire was administered to 100 women with melasma visiting the out-patient registration counter of Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi. These women were also administered a Hindi equivalent of the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) questionnaire. Melasma area severity index (MASI) of all the participants was calculated. Results: The mean MASI score was 20.0 ± 7.5 and Hi-MELASQOL score was 37.19 ± 18.15; both were highly, positively and significantly correlated. Reliability analysis showed satisfactory results. Physical health, emotional well-being and social life were the most adversely affected life domains. Limitations: It was a single-center study and the number of patients studied could have been larger. Conclusion: Hi-MELASQOL is a reliable and validated tool to measure the quality of life in Indians with melasma.

An internal capital account is comprised of money that is lent by a member to their worker cooperative. It can include an initial capital contribution when they join, as well as any earnings that members reinvest in the coop.
Many worker cooperatives require a capital contribution when a new member joins. The cost of the buy-in can vary widely depending on the cooperative. It gives the member a financial stake in the cooperative which is at risk if it performs poorly. If a new member can not afford the buy-in, it is sometimes purchased with salary or wage deductions over a period of time. Alternatively the buy-in can also be purchased with a loan from the cooperative to the member which is then paid off with future compensation. The buy-in is credited to the member's internal capital account.
Profits and losses can also credited or debited from the internal capital account as determined by the bylaws. Many coops require a portion of the profits paid to members to be reinvested in the coop. Typically the profits are retained in an internal capital account for a period of time before being paid out. For example, 30% of the profits each year might be retained in an internal capital account for five years before being paid back to a member. This tends to equalize the capital contributions of members on time scales longer than the holding period. New members will have less capital invested until they have worked for a full holding period. Any reinvested earnings are credited to the internal capital account and debited from the internal capital account when they are paid out.
The holding period is designed to limit the value of an internal capital account so that its eventual pay out does not require the sale or demutualization of the cooperative. By paying out the earnings after a short period the cooperative prevents a lifetime of member earnings from building up in the cooperative. Historically, payouts of large internal capital accounts have led to the demutualization of a number of worker cooperatives in the United States, most notably the plywood cooperatives in the Pacific northwest.
Losses are often attributed to members by debiting their internal capital account. The internal capital accounts serve as risk capital because their value can be reduced to absorb losses. For this reason the members internal capital accounts are often categorized as equity on the balance sheet. Internal capital accounts may earn a fixed rate of return (interest) on their balance.
Functionally the internal capital accounts brings the banking function within the coop. Members could deposit their money at a financial institution which then lent it back to the coop. With the internal capital accounts the members are lending to their cooperative directly, removing the financial intermediary.
When a member leave the cooperative their internal capital account is paid out. This buy-out of the member investment can occur either as an immediate cash payment, or as a debt owed to the member which is paid out over time. Spreading the payment over time has the advantage of reducing the immediate liquidity needs of the cooperative and can prevent cash flow problems.

Weight Loss Tip #11 Eat When Stomach Is Growling
Weight Loss Tip #11 Eat When Stomach Is Growling
There are many times in our lives when we eat and quite frankly we are not even hungry. We blindly reach for that chip, or extra serving of bread without even thinking twice about it. More likely than not it is because you are stuck at the table longer than you wanted, or you are bored and don't know what else to do. There are so many better options for you out there than to keep on eating. When you keep on eating you are sabotaging your quest for better health, and your journey for weight loss. Try and eat healthy snack options such as fruit, when ice cream is present, and it will knock the edge off of those intense cravings.
Is It Healthy To Eat Only When Your Stomach Growls?
Many times there are instances when your stomach is just processing the food you just ate, therefore it will growl even if you are not hungry. If you eat more veggies and beans your intestines may make a little more noise than usual. But when you are actually getting hungry, and your stomach is growling it means you are indeed in need of some substantial calories. If you wait for too long, you may even start to get light headed and dizzy without realizing it.
It is important to know the difference in the sounds your stomach is making, and know when you are really in need of calories versus going off of the sounds your stomach may or may not be making. The most important tip is to not eat when you are not hungry. This does not do any good for your weight loss journey, or your caloric count for the day. It is also important not to confuse thirst with hunger, as many times your body just needs a good drink to quench its thirst rather than additional calories.
Do Not Starve Yourself
Finally, it is important to realize that it is not okay to starve yourself. If you are feeling hunger pangs, it means your body needs fuel. This does not mean it needs unhealthy fuel, but it is in need of something to run on. Pick healthy snack and meal choices when you are feeling the rumble, and you will reap the benefits long term. Starving yourself will only slow down your metabolism, and make the weight loss journey even more difficult in the long run. Do your body good and grab a healthy meal or snack when you start to feel real food hunger!

 Full Text Available Acousto-electric interaction signal (AEI signal resulting from interaction of acoustic pressure wave and electrical current field has received recent attention in biomedical field for detection and registration of bioelectrical current. The signal is very of small value and brings about several challenges when detecting it. Several observations has been done in saline solution and on nerves and tissues under controlled condition that give optimistic indication about its utilization. Ultrasound Current Source Density Imaging (UCSDI has been introduced, that uses the AEI signal to image the current distribution. This review provides an overview of the investigations on the AEI signal and USCDI imaging that has been made, their results and several considerations on the limitations and future possibilities on using the acousto-electric interaction signal.
 10. Interactions between electricity generation sources and economic activity in Greece: A VECM approach
 International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
 Marques, António Cardoso; Fuinhas, José Alberto; Menegaki, Angeliki N.
 2014-01-01
 Highlights: • Adjustment dynamics in electricity sources and industrial production are examined. • The Johansen's method with a conditional VEC model was pursued. • Results confirm endogeneity among variables. • Cointegration relationships for fossil and for renewables sources were founded. • Renewables are less affected by disturbance in economic activity. - Abstract: The interactions between electricity generation sources and industrial production in Greece were analysed from August 2004 to October 2013. Greece has been subject to a tough economic adjustment under external financial assistance guidelines. In the meantime, the country has remained committed to international agreements concerning the use of renewables. The variables interact with each other, and this endogeneity has been analysed using a VECM model. A short-run, causal relationship from conventional fossil sources to economic growth, was proved. However, there is no evidence of causal relationships from renewable electricity to economic growth, either in the short- or long-run. Only economic growth gives rise to renewable electricity, whether in the short- or long-run. A fresh insight on the current state of dynamics between electricity sources within an electricity generation system, is thus added to the literature. These findings will inform energy policymakers in designing policies both to encourage the incorporation of national technology into renewables and to reduce electricity consumption without hampering economic growth
 11. Ab initio determination of the nuclear quadrupole moments of 114In, 115In, and 117In
 International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
 Errico, Leonardo A.; Renteria, Mario
 2006-01-01
 We present here ab initio determinations of the nuclear-quadrupole moment Q of hyperfine-probe-nuclear states of three different In isotopes: the 5 + 192 keV excited state of 114 In (probe for nuclear quadrupole alignment spectroscopy), the 9/2 + ground state of 115 In (nuclear magnetic and nuclear quadrupole resonance probe), and the 3/2 + 659 keV excited state of 117 In (perturbed angular correlations probe). These nuclear-quadrupole moments were determined by comparing experimental nuclear-quadrupole frequencies to the electric field gradient tensor calculated with high accuracy at In sites in metallic indium within the density functional theory. These ab initio calculations were performed with the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. The results obtained for the quadrupole moments of 114 In [Q( 114 In)=-0.14(1) b] are in clear discrepancy with those reported in the literature [Q( 114 In)=+0.16(6) b and +0.739(12) b]. For 115 In and 117 In our results are in excellent agreement with the literature and in the last case Q( 117 In) is determined with more precision. In the case of Q( 117 In), its sign cannot be determined because standard γ-γ perturbed angular correlations experiments are not sensitive to the sign of the nuclear-quadrupole frequency
 12. Design of an electrostatic magnetic quadrupole accelerator
 International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
 Mizuno, M.; Ohara, Y.
 1993-01-01
 A new type of electrostatic acceleration system, electrostatic magnetic quadrupole (ESMQ) acceleration system, is proposed for efficient acceleration of negative ion beams. In this system, permanent magnets are buried in the acceleration electrodes so as to produce a quadrupole magnetic field in the electrode aperture region. Envelope simulation indicates that the quadrupole field can deflect electrons stripped from the negative ions. Beam envelope simulations for deuterium ions and electrons have been carried out using the beam envelope code TRACE. Electrons are largely divergent and most appear likely to hit downstream electrodes. Furthermore, maximum beam divergence of the deuterium ions is reduced to the focusing effect of the quadrupole magnetic field

 The High Luminosity upgrade of the LHC at CERN will use large aperture (150 mm) quadrupole magnets to focus the beams at the interaction points. The high field in the coils requires Nb$_{3}$Sn superconductor technology, which has been brought to maturity by the LHC Accelerator Re-search Program (LARP) over the last 10 years. The key design targets for the new IR quadrupoles were established in 2012, and fabrication of model magnets started in 2014. This paper discusses the results from the first single short coil test and from the first short quadrupole model test. Remaining challenges and plans to address them are also presented and discussed.

Additional Information:
Smokey was an 11 foot-tall, 7 ton African bull elephant who was housed at the Oakland Zoo in California for over 25 years. He was well-known for being one of three male elephants in North America capable of breeding and he was also known for killing one of the zoo's animal keepers in 1991. The trampling death of the zookeeper led to new methods of caring for elephants in captivity that did not require the trainers to be in direct contact with the animals. Smokey passed away in 2001 from an unknown illness.

Apprentices of War: Memoir of a Marine Grunt is a book by Gary Tornes, who served as a United States Marine during the Vietnam War.
"Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, WWII - The apprentices of all wars are the young grunts who do most of the fighting and dying. They are ordinary people doing extraordinary deeds daily. Often they neither receive nor do they expect special recognition for their actions. Their apprenticeships are short and violent. Survival often depends more upon luck - than training and experience. It's an environment where peer pressure creates heroes. Those who survive are often better people for it. They move forward with their lives possessing the unique self-confidence that only a battlefield produces."

What is a Top Tether?
Top Tether are additional anchorage points located in different positions in the car (usually on top of the car seat or behind the rear seat) and used for the additional belt at the back of the child restraint system. In general, Top Tether systems are not required by law which is why not all car seats are equipped with this system. However, the additional belt at the top of the child restraint system reduces the forward displacement of the seat during a head-on collision offering additional safety in case of an accident. Therefore, Top Tether systems are frequently used, especially in newer car seat models from various car seat manufactures.

Model Angelo – Automated model building into cryo-EM reconstructions
Model Angelo uses deep learning to build atomic models into cryo-EM density maps. Model Angelo combines chain tracing, amino acid geometry, and cryo-EM density to build reliable starting models for subsequent refinement.
There are two modes to use Model Angelo:
- Build known sequence into map
- Given a FASTA sequence, build atomic model
- Identify sequence in map
- Given a map, output a sequence probability
- 3D reconstruction
- Sharpened map into which the model will be built
- Optional: FASTA sequence
- Sequence for proteins to be built
- Optional: Mask for 3D reconstruction
- To remove density that should be ignored during model building]
- Optional: (Advanced) Build model without input sequence – Yes/No
- Full, final output
- Shows all sequence regions built into the map. May be helpful for hard-to-build or low-confidence areas, providing a starting point for further model refinement
- Hidden Markov Model files for identifying sequences in map using HHBlits
Example #1: Building known sequence into density map
Here is a map of kinesin-binding protein (EMD -24677) that we will build the following FASTA sequence into:
sp|Q96EK5|KBP_HUMAN KIF-binding protein OS=Homo sapiens OX=9606 GN=KIFBP PE=1 SV=1 MANVPWAEVCEKFQAALALSRVELHKNPEKEPYKSKYSARALLEEVKALLGPAPEDEDER PEAEDGPGAGDHALGLPAEVVEPEGPVAQRAVRLAVIEFHLGVNHIDTEELSAGEEHLVK CLRLLRRYRLSHDCISLCIQAQNNLGILWSEREEIETAQAYLESSEALYNQYMKEVGSPP LDPTERFLPEEEKLTEQERSKRFEKVYTHNLYYLAQVYQHLEMFEKAAHYCHSTLKRQLE HNAYHPIEWAINAATLSQFYINKLCFMEARHCLSAANVIFGQTGKISATEDTPEAEGEVP ELYHQRKGEIARCWIKYCLTLMQNAQLSMQDNIGELDLDKQSELRALRKKELDEEESIRK KAVQFGTGELCDAISAVEEKVSYLRPLDFEEARELFLLGQHYVFEAKEFFQIDGYVTDHI EVVQDHSALFKVLAFFETDMERRCKMHKRRIAMLEPLTVDLNPQYYLLVNRQIQFEIAHA YYDMMDLKVAIADRLRDPDSHIVKKINNLNKSALKYYQLFLDSLRDPNKVFPEHIGEDVL RPAMLAKFRVARLYGKIITADPKKELENLATSLEHYKFIVDYCEKHPEAAQEIEVELELS KEMVSLLPTKMERFRTKMALT
Running the 3D map + FASTA Sequence in Model Angelo on COSMIC2 provides the following output:
Looking at output/output.cif superimposed into the map, you can see it did an OK job of finding helices:
Example #2: Building unknown sequence into density map
For this example, we will run Model Angelo using the KIFBP map above but without input sequence. To do this, make sure to check the box that says "Build model without input sequence" under the advanced settings.
After running, you will see the following output on COSMIC2:
The output/output.cif file shows a variety of segments identified by Model Angelo:
Note: you will see these different segments named 'AH' or 'a' as different chains in ChimeraX.
You can use Hidden Markov Model files to identify potential sequences in existing databases. These files are named according the chain name seen in ChimeraX. You can find these files by downloading the full output.zip file, un-compressing, and looking in the folder: output/hmm_profile. You can use these .hhm files to run HHBlits.

How an SD Card Bootloader solves your problems
Transferring data from one drive to another is worrying. Sometimes you discover not all data transferred successfully. You can use a utility app that allows you to move everything with ease. This app makes sure you transfer everything in one swoop, without fumbling around with cables and cords. The same case applies to your work. You keep replacing the microcontroller's firmware and you have to keep plugging and unplugging cables. To avoid all this, the best solution is to invest in an SD card Bootloader.

How to Use the SD Bootloader
Normally, a programming cable programs a microcontroller, which is tedious if you have little space, or you tend to leave tasks undone. A microcontroller is subject to external forces such as loose cables. A Bootloader in a microcontroller is a unique program, which accepts code from outside sources and rewrites it into an internal memory. When the microcontroller powers up and tries to read the newest code that is in the external resource, the Bootloader program deletes the previous code in the memory and rewrites the current code over it.
You can do a bootloader customization for it to derive new code from serial ports or LAN. AN SD card is wireless and using a bootloader becomes a simple matter of SD card insertion and microcontroller reset. Updating code on a bootloader is instant and has little or no system interruption. This makes SD card bootloaders very instrumental in fixed systems that need updating or checking for errors. If you need to change or update the specifications of your code, the SD Card Bootloader comes in handy.

Key considerations
The bootloader will read the hex or binary file of the main app and rewrite it into the microcontroller's memory. There are a few considerations to keep in mind:

- Allocation of memory
There are obvious benefits to using an SD card bootloader, but not every microcontroller is capable of holding a bootloading program, as it is in itself, an application. This means it doesn't need a set amount of space. This space may stand unavailable later if you use a smaller memory microcontroller, or if your code is large. Make sure you allocate enough memory for the bootloader and code if you plan to merge a bootloader.

- SD Card Port Implementation
An SD bootloader needs extra components added to the hardware to give space for the SD Card bootloader. This obviously means added expenses if the main application does not need the bootloader interface. To make sure the SD Card program can read the hex or binary file of the new code, you have to fix a File Allocation Table (FAT32) stack in the bootloader program.

- The proper sequence
A bootloader rewrites different addresses in its internal memory with information bytes. This needs the right sequence of command execution for erasure and writing on internal storage. Make sure the address written is correct and the bootloader doesn't delete instead.

- Mapping to the correct address
Applications start from 0x00000000. A bootloader, however, is different and it depends on the allocation in the program space. Make a modification of the memory's file to ensure hex files of the two programs go to the right address.

- Testing
An SD bootloader simplifies the code, not to compound on errors. Test your bootloader rigorously to ensure everything runs as planned and to prevent the system from erratic behavior.

Feelings, Brain and Prevention of Corruption
International Journal of Psychology Research, Vol. 3, No. 3, 2008
17 Pages Posted: 20 Apr 2009
Date Written: July 19, 2008
In this paper we propose an answer for the question: why, sometimes, people don't perceive corruption as a crime? To answer this question we use a neurological and a psychological concept. As humans, we experience our emotions and feelings in first person, but the neuropsychological mechanism known as "mirror neurons" makes possible to simulate emotions and feelings of others. It means that our emotions and feelings are linked with emotions and feelings of others. When mirror areas in the brain are activated we can understand and simulate in first person the actions, emotions and feelings of people. Because of these areas, the observer's brain acts "as if" it was experiencing the same action or the same feeling that is perceived. Each organism establishes causal relations to understand, manipulate and move in the world. Causal relations can be classified as simple or complex. In a simple causal relation, cause and effect are close in space and time. When cause and effect are not close in space and time, the causal relation is complex. When perceiving or committing homicide, a simple causal relation is enough for identifying a victim, but when perceiving or committing a public corruption crime, a complex causal relation must be established for identifying a victim. When seeing someone committing bribe there is no an evident victim. If persons can't identify victims of public corruption crimes, then they will not generate empathy feelings. When a victim is not identified and perceived, there is no reason for thinking that harm is being inflicted and mirror areas in the brain are not activated.

Hornyfqnz is an online slang dictionary that defines common texting and internet communication slang phrases. The name "hornyfqnz" is a mixture of the terms "horny" and "fun." It refers to someone who is entertaining and makes you want to have sex with them.
1)What does Hornyfqnz mean?
"Hornyfqnz" refers to someone sexually stimulated or interested in sexual action. The term frequently indicates someone seeking or engaging in sexual activity.
2)The meaning of Hornyfqnz
"hornyfqnz" refers to someone sexually stimulated or interested in sexual action. The term is frequently used to describe someone "turned on" or "horny" by another person. It can also refer to someone who is sexually attracted to another person.
- What exactly does hornyfqnz mean? It's a little mysterious, but we can make some educated guesses.
- The most likely reason is that it's a misspelling of "horny." This makes sense because "horny" is a slang term for sexually aroused.
- Another suggestion is that it's a play on the word "horny," with the "h" replaced by an "f" to sound more like the word "horn." This might be used to describe someone who is having an especially sexual mood right now.
- Whatever the case, we can be certain that "hornyfqnz" is a phrase used to describe someone who is sexually aroused. So, if you see someone using this expression, they are most likely trying to communicate that they are horny!
4)What is the meaning of Hornyfqnz?
Hornyfqnz is an abbreviation for someone sexually stimulated or interested in sexual activity. The term is frequently used to describe someone who is hornier than usual.
5)What does Hornyfqnz stand for?
- Hornyfqnz is an abbreviation for "Horny For No Reason." The phrase is frequently used to describe someone sexually aroused for no apparent reason.
- There are several reasons someone could feel horny for no apparent cause. They may be sexually dissatisfied and haven't had sex in a while. It could also be a symptom of an underlying medical illness, such as a hormone imbalance.
- If you're feeling horny for no apparent reason, there are a few things you can attempt to alleviate the urge. You can begin by masturbating. If that doesn't work or you're uncomfortable, try distracting yourself with other tasks. If the sensation persists, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any underlying problems.

The energy profile study of electric kitchen utensils for residential smart kitchen
To be more cost effective and environmental friendly, electric cooking is a new trend in both commercial and residential use. Utility states that electric cooking can reduce 20% to 50% energy cost in all kinds of restaurants. However, widely adoption of electric cooking would make a heavy load on energy supply. Also, some buildings with old energy system standard may not be able to support the large energy demand caused by electric cooking. The understanding of energy usage pattern of electric cooking is important to tackle with this potential problem. An energy profile of electric kitchen utensils is essential to minimize the energy demand. This paper gives the overview of the recent market growth in electric cooking and also introduces the potential wireless sensor network technology for energy auditing in smart kitchen. Even more important, this paper analyzes the energy usage of electric kitchen utensils such as stove, microwave oven, refrigerator and freezer. An experiment would be set up by using the existing energy auditing system. The energy consumption pattern of each kitchen utensil is collected with current transformer which will be displayed as instant consumption reading. By using the collected consumption data, energy profile of each electric kitchen utensil can be generated. Having the energy profile of each electric kitchen utensil is critical to the real time energy demand forecast and so helps the utilities conduct the energy demand response effectively.

For the production of glued and fanapart bond sets
When there is a requirement to glue a two part set of bond paper, the Inercote and Superflex process is not applicable. This is due to there being no middle sheet onto which Inercote can be applied. This is why we have developed the Howrex system.
Before collation, either the top sheet or the bottom sheet of the set should be fanned out on the bench into steps of 1/8th inch, and Howrex release agent applied to either the top side of the first sheet or the bottom side of the last sheet. The Howrex release agent effectively repels the subsequent adhesive to allow separation to take place. Howrex adhesive is then applied to the collated sheets. Once dry the pad will fanapart into two part glued sets.
The Howrex system has numerous applications with difficult or unusual collations e.g. CB, CFB etc. or sets of action paper. Howrex release agent is available in aerosol spray, paste and grease to be applied by hand or dry offset.

Intermittence fault is a known problem in aircraft due to a large number of electrical wire and complex systems that make an aircraft. Newer aircraft have more computer-based system which has even more wiring than legacy aircraft.
Why aircraft intermittences are so difficult to detect?
Finding a problem in a bundle of wire-harness is a complex challenge. Sporadic intermittences that appear in mid-air are detected and reported by pilots. Once the aircraft is back on the ground these intermittences are difficult, if not impossible for technicians to replicate. Aircraft vibration can not easily be replicated, and many times the intermittences happen in fractions of milliseconds.
Therefore, problems observed in mid-air can not easily be replicated on the ground. Technicians rely on ohmmeters to run conductivity testing, selecting line by line, looking for the problem. The tool of choice, a multimeter, is set up to find transients with millisecond accuracy. There are two challenges with this approach:
- Harnesses are interconnected systems of multiple wires, and a multimeter is only capable of testing one wire at a time.
- It is possible that the transients occur in less than a millisecond, undetectable by the multimeter.
Problems observed in mid-air can not easily be replicated on the ground.
Hence, the multimeter works to detect open circuits, which is considered hard or semy hard intermittences. But not accurate enough to detect random sporadic intermittences at low-level noise or micro-breaks.
New technology has emerged. It takes into consideration all electrical lines by testing each line simultaneously with a nanosecond accuracy in a closed-loop environment. This technology uses a hardware version of a neural network, in which signals are sent to each node combining all feedback back to the analyzer. Then, the system could be checked as a whole, and not each line separately, creating the necessary environment to detect any fault.
New technology has emerged. It takes into consideration all electrical lines by testing each line simultaneously with a nanosecond accuracy in a closed-loop environment.
The United States Department of Defense is one of the early adopters of this technology that tests LRU, by extending the mission capability of their fleet and reducing operating costs.
GE-90 Wire Harness Case Study
We have identified by Boeing 777 operators that the GE-90 115B engine typically shows intermittency problems in the wire harness. Our engineer group along with the team at Universal Synaptics developed an interface, to connect the bundle of wires into the IFD (portable).
The complexity of this task can only be solved by sending simultaneous pulses at a nanosecond speed through all cables simultaneously. The IFD (portable) connects in series with the wire harness and detects any possible anomaly.
This report shows the results of the test. GE 90 complex cables IFD Universal Synaptics

Automated Test Suites for Electronic Health Record Technology Provider
As a part of a security reorganization process, our client needed to reorganize their authentication and authorization workflow ensuring better and more cost-effective control, support and maintenance. They chose SoftServe to develop a new security platform, as well as utilize our quality control experts to validate and verify that it conformed to the functional and performance requirements as well as our Client's business needs. Since manual testing was inapplicable due to the absence of a user interface, a set of automated test suites were created.
SoftServe fully implemented the following four principles:
- Concurrent Testing – automated tests were developed concurrently with tested software.
- Continuous Integration – automated tests were included into continuous integration in order to provide feedback on the developers' actions.
- Collaborative Decision Making – test scenarios were simplified for non-technical stakeholders for decision making purposes. Testers also used the same tools and programming languages as developers to eliminate miscommunication or lack of coordination.
- Continuous Improvement – test automation framework was developed and continuously improved in order to decrease the time and resources spent on test development and maintenance, as well as to improve human readability.
The combination of these best practices enabled SoftServe's quality control engineers to develop 3000 tests within 8 months, sufficiently covering all of the project stakeholder's acceptance criteria.
SoftServe's quality control experts met the client's expectation of thorough security platform testing and continuous optimization, delivering the following business values:
- High reliability of the developed platform meeting all requirements
- Optimization of testing processes and improved test readability ensuring:
- Continuous involvement of all project stakeholders in the process of decision making
- Better communication between the teams
- Commonly shared views on requirements
- All acceptance criteria were sufficiently covered by test suites ensuring quality and productivity
- Automated test suites were more transparent and usable as a base for Sprint Demos
- Decreased testing time and resources on test review, test support and maintenance allowing more time and resources for sufficient test coverage, requirements analysis, and ultimately a faster time to market
- Decreased costs as a result of reducing defects as well as prompt response on every code commit.

4-H Mentoring - Utah County
What is 4-H Mentoring?
4-H Mentoring of Utah County is a program which began in 2001 and is designed for youth, ages 9-15, and their families. Youth are matched with young adult mentors, who establish caring relationships with identified youth. All mentors are screened before being matched (interview, reference and background check). This program allows youth to develop their interpersonal and academic skills by participating in structured recreation, community service, and community youth groups.
We are committed to providing an environment which fosters belonging, independence, generosity and mastery (BIG M) among mentors, youth, and families. The four essential elements of positive youth development.
Mentors are a major part of their mentee's life. They provide stability and a caring relationship for their mentees. They provide their kids with something to be excited about and someone who is always looking out for their well being.
- Meet four times each month with their mentor (one meeting each month is sponsored by 4-H)
- Attend weekly 4-H Afterschool Mentoring club
- Attend monthly Family Night Out programs together with their family*
To enroll a youth, sign up here:
Additional information about enrollment for youth and families:
- Be a mentor to a child in Utah County
- Be a guide, advocate, friend and role model
- Help your mentee feel a sense of belonging, develop independence, understand the importance of generosity, and master new skills
- Introduce your mentee to new and different environments
- Meet and socialize monthly with the other mentors at the monthly provided activity for you and your mentee
- Give an hour of time each week for one full year
- Make a year commitment to mentor a youth
- Meet 4 times per month (usually once each week) with the youth you mentor
What youth need most is a caring adult who peacefully resolves conflicts and communicates in a healthy way. They need someone to trust and who trusts them.

Raymond Loewy: Google Doodle celebrates 120th birthday of the 'father of industrial design'
Loewy is widely considered to have revolutionized his industry creating product designs for everything from refrigerators to cars and spacecraft
Google has marked the 120th birth anniversary of industrial designer Raymond Loewy.
He is widely considered to have revolutionized the industry creating product designs for everything from refrigerators to cars, cigarette packets and spacecraft.
He also designed logos for Exxon and Shell as well as the former BP logos. He was also responsible for the design of the Coca-Cola vending machines and the iconic Greyhound Scenicruiser bus.
Loewy, considered by many to be the father of industrial design, was born in Paris on November 5, 1893.
Whilst serving in the army during the first World War he was injured and boarded a ship to America in 1919. Loewy claimed to have made the trip to America with only his French officer's uniform and $50 in his pocket.
After initially working as a window designer for department stores, and as an illustrator for for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, he received his first industrial design commission in 1929.
His first commission was from Sigmund Gestetner, a British manufacturer of duplicating machines, who called on Loewy to improve the appearance of a mimeograph machine. Further commissions followed before in the mid-1930s he opened a London office that continues to operate to this day.
The work of his design firm was said to be so prolific that Loewy once declared: "the average person, leading a normal life, whether in the country, a village, a city, or a metropolis, is bound to be in daily contact with some of the things, services, or structures in which R.L.A [Raymond Loewy Associates] was a party during the design or planning stage."
Among his main clients was the Pennsylvania Railroad, for whom he designed passenger locomotives, developing a distinctive shroud design for K4s Pacific #3768 to haul his newly redesigned 1938 Broadway Limited. He also had a strong relationship with the US car maker Studebaker, among many others.
Today's doodle shows a locomotive bearing a resemblance to the K4s Pacific #3768 shroud design.
It uses the wheels of the train to form the word Google.

How Much Potential Energy Do Different Nuts Have?
It seems that at least once a year California has another energy crisis, and almost as often, someone wonders what will happen when California runs out of energy sources. Christopher Crews, knowing that all living things contain energy, set out to prove that different varieties of nuts have energy stores that can be released by burning.
I believe that burning different varieties of nuts will produce energy, and that peanuts will produce the most energy.
Amount of heat produced
- Number of nuts tested
- Amount of water
- Ten each whole, raw, unshelled nuts:
- 32-ounce coffee can
- Two 10-ounce soup cans
- Drill and bits
- Kitchen scale
- Fill large coffee can with water.
- Measure nut.
- Weigh water on kitchen scale.
- Measure and record starting water temperature.
- Drill hole through nut.
- Insert skewer through hole in nut.
- Heat nut with lighter and let the nut burn fully.
- Measure and record ending water temperature.
- Calculate BTU (starting temperature minus ending temperature divided by the weight of the water). BTU stands for British Thermal Unit, the energy necessary to raise the temperature of one pound of water by 1@dgsF. One BTU equals approximately 1,055 joules (or 1,055 watt-seconds).
- Repeat Steps 1 through 9 for each nut.
The average BTU for each type of nut is as follows:
Cashews 15.75 BTU
Almonds 13.76 BTU
Peanuts 10.77 BTU
The hypothesis was that burning different varieties of nuts would produce energy, with peanuts producing the most energy. That's partially correct because all the nuts produced energy. However, the hypothesis was incorrect because the cashews produced the most energy, and peanuts produced the least.

Water-based coated burger wrappers are an innovative green packaging solution made by applying a water-based coating material to a virgin paper substrate through a special process. This coating is designed to replace traditional polyethylene (PE) lamination or other petroleum-based plastic coatings, giving the paper excellent oil and water resistance, making it suitable for packaging fast food products with high fat content such as burgers, sandwiches and fried chicken.
- Environmentally friendly:
- Water-based coating technology abandons harmful solvents and uses water as the dispersing medium, which contains no or very little volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and reduces pollution to the environment.
- Enhanced degradability and recyclability, water-based coated paper is easier to handle and recycle at the end of its life cycle compared to traditional plastic packaging.
- Superior oil and water resistance, can effectively prevent oil and grease in food from penetrating into the wrapping paper, keep the package clean, and also protect the freshness and taste of food.
- Good heat stability, not easy to deform or decompose harmful substances when heated in microwave oven or in contact with hot food.
- Excellent quality:
- High surface smoothness, good texture, excellent printing effect, suitable for brand customized design.
- Stable structure, suitable strength, can ensure the integrity of the packaging and convenient for consumers to hold and eat.
Water-based coated burger wrappers are widely used in the catering industry, especially in fast food service:
- Fast food packaging: It is used to package various greasy foods such as burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, fried chicken wings, etc. It prevents grease from seeping out and maintains food quality and aesthetics.
- Microwave heating food packaging: due to its heat resistance, it is also suitable for the packaging of ready-to-heat and ready-to-eat products, which can be directly put into the microwave oven without affecting food safety.
- Brand Image Enhancement: Due to its good printing suitability, many brands will choose to print personalized patterns and messages to reflect the brand image and convey the concept of green environmental protection.

Photo of the Week: Haitian Mangoes Ripe for Market
August 02, 2013
The Haiti Hope Project is helping revitalize Haiti's mango industry and raise the standard of living for thousands of farming families.
A young Haitian farmer harvests Francique mangoes, a variety unique to Haiti and prized for its juicy, sweet flavor. Until recently, fewer than 5 percent of the mangoes produced in Haiti reached the export market, and farmers struggled to earn a viable income from their fruit trees. The Haiti Hope Project is helping create sustainable economic opportunities for Haitian mango farmers and their families.
The Haiti Hope Project is a public-private partnership comprised of The Coca-Cola Company; the Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF), a member of the Inter-American Development Bank Group (IDB); the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID); and TechnoServe. Haiti Hope aims to double the incomes of 25,000 smallholder farmers five years after they join the Project. TechnoServe is training local mango producers and connecting them to international markets. To date, more than 23,000 farmers – nearly 50 percent of whom are women – have enrolled in the program. This year, more than 450 tons of fresh mangoes were sold through Whole Foods stores throughout the United States, a 150 percent increase from last year.

Present your projects with videos
Plan, film, and edit a video presentation about one of your digital maker projects.
Plan a session with this activity
You will need
 - Access to a computer
 - Access to the internet
 - Camera or phone
 - Pens or pencils
 - Scrap paper
Notes and handout (Present your projects with videos)
PDF – 2.5MB
Before you begin
 - You can film anywhere (as long as you have your project there), but you'll need access to computers for editing.
 - It works best if each group has access to a computer, but you could take it in turns if you need to. You could also look in to visiting a local library or school to use their computers.
 - You'll need an Adobe Spark account for this activity. You could create a shared account for everyone (or one for each small group) that the adult leading the activity has access to. If people are over 13, they could create their own accounts and use them to edit their videos.
Set the scene
 1. Everyone should split into small groups. It's useful if everyone in a group worked together on the same project.
 2. Each group should decide which project they'd like to make a video about. People often learn the most from times they struggle or make mistakes, so it often works well for people to focus on a project that didn't go perfectly.
 1. Everyone should use the 'Notes and handout' to guide them as they plan everything out and create a storyboard and basic script.
Make the film
 1. Everyone should use the activity handout to help them shoot a great film. The handout has plenty of tips about lighting and camera angles.
 1. Once they've finished filming, everyone should follow their activity handout to transfer their footage to a computer.
 2. Everyone should get stuck in to editing their film. They should follow the activity handout to get the scenes in the right order and add a backing track and captions.
 3. Once everyone's films are ready, people should take it in turns to share them with the group.
 4. The person leading the activity should check that no one can be identified from anything in the video, that there's no identifying information (such as full names), and that they have proper consent from everyone in the film.
 1. Everyone should check out the information in the activity handout and decide whether to publish their film.
This activity was all about communicating. How was making a video presentation different to presenting something live? People might think about how they could make edits or film things more than once to get it exactly right. How did people feel when it came to showing others the video? Do people think videos made it easier to understand what others were trying to say? Video presentations can also be widely shared. How can people make sure their videos are accessible for as many people as possible? People could think about adding subtitles or translating them into different languages.
This activity was also a chance for everyone to develop skills. What skills did people use to make their videos? Were they confident before they started? How did they feel when they watched their finished video? Was it useful to use videos to reflect on the skills they used when making their digital projects?

Basketball Training – Learn How to Jump Higher In Basketball Training
If you play basketball you probably would love to learn how to jump higher in basketball training. Who wouldn't want to leap up and make those amazing jump shots? It takes a lot of natural ability to have a vertical jump of 40 inches or more, but even athletes without this rare aptitude can learn to harness their own power and improve their vertical jumps.
A great vertical jump requires both leg muscle power and reactive power.
A vertical jump requires two kinds of power; reactive and strength. Developing these two areas is crucial if you are wondering how to jump higher in basketball training. Part of each training session should be devoted to developing your muscle strength and reactive ability. Leg and calf muscles are primarily responsible for your leap, so vertical jump training focuses on developing these areas.
A good program will include leg weight training every other day and concentrate on other areas during the off days. This allows the muscles to heal between workouts and keeps the rest of your body balanced. Weight training for athletes interested in how to jump higher in basketball training is different from the training used for sports like football. Muscle weighs more than other tissues, so your goal is not to do overall body building. The heavier you are the more difficult it can become to jump higher.
The goal is to keep a balance between building your leg strength and any additional weight gain. The second kind of power you need to develop if you wonder how to jump higher in basketball training is your reactive power. Reactive power is connected to the nervous system and controls the rate of speed at which muscles contract. Fast muscle contraction is a key element in a high vertical jump.
How to jump higher in basketball training, focus efficiently on the aspects of your training.
The training exercises that improve reactive power are different from those used to build leg strength. Make certain your workout includes this important power building strategy if you are interested in how to jump higher in basketball training. These two elements work together to improve your jump. Increasing your leg muscles allow you to leap higher and increasing your reactive power gives you the speed to control the direction of your leap. A high jump doesn't accomplish much if you can't control your aim and make the shot.

'A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia' offers exciting and amazing tips on the importance of oaks and how to plant them successfully '
Darnum, Victoria, Australia (PRWEB) January 11, 2013
Author Richard Browne expresses his sturdy and prolific fervor for nature as he pens a profound and delightful anthology in A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia. This is the author's long dream to write a book about his passion–oak trees and to share to the world how he was captivated by its grandeur and mystery.
This volume will reveal Browne's 10 years of collecting and planting oaks. It all began after arriving from Ireland and realising what to do with his six acres of bare land. Missing the beautiful and colorful changing of the seasons and the distinctive smell of the deciduous woods that he had enjoyed during his childhood, thus he decided to collect and plant oaks from different parts of the world. Through time, Browne studied and researched as much knowledge as could be found. Browne believes that oaks have played a great part in the evolution of culture. It is also the most obvious form of flora and fauna that has been quite advantageous to the Australian landscape, soil and wildlife rather than being detrimental like so many of the other impulsive imports. This book aims to provide a simple guide to the things people didn't know, but probably should, about the oaks.
A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia is a book that showcases the author's long years of passion for oaks. It will also help gardeners, oak enthusiasts and land owners learn many interesting new facts and method about oak planting and collecting.
For more information on this book, interested parties may log on to _URL_.
About the Author
Richard Browne has studied and collected oak trees for many years, both in Europe and Australia. He is a member of The International Oak Society, and an assistant curator for The Encyclopaedia of Life. The author is an educator and often called upon around S.E. Australia for advice on trees and their planting. He is currently preparing an extensive work on the world's oaks, of which this book is a small and often intriguing sample.

Flight Testing an Automated Turbulence Recognition System for Unmanned Aircraft
View Video Presentation: _URL_
Operators of Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) lack the physical cues that onboard pilots experience to assess turbulence levels, which means that automated systems are needed onboard the aircraft to identify the turbulence level. To address this need, a Turbulence Recognition And Decision Support for UAS (TRADS-UAS) system was previously developed. This paper focuses on work to validate, through a series of flight tests using a general aviation aircraft as a UAS surrogate, the component of TRADS-UAS that estimates eddy dissipation rate (EDR), a measure of turbulent energy in the atmosphere. To generate EDR estimates, TRADS-UAS uses only standard autopilot sensors expected to be present on any medium to large UAS. TRADS-UAS was run in real-time, onboard the aircraft during tests. The flight crew also recorded manual turbulence estimates during the tests, and a ground-based Doppler Wind Lidar provided independent estimates of EDR for validation. The tests successfully validated the EDR estimation capabilities of TRADS-UAS.
