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.

May 6, 1957
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
DAVID S. BLACK
Assistant Attorney General


How to put thermometer to your WEB page?
Do you want your website to show a thermometer like ours? Are you looking for a way to show the temperature in your premises or sport facility directly on your web? This article is the right one for you. Here, you will learn how to measure the temperature and how to get the values onto your web.
How does it work?
A thermometer or a special program sends the currently measured temperature to the web server as a simple query of the HTTP GET type.
Drawing of the principle of measured temperature inserting on the WEB pages in case of TM and TMU. As for TME the temperature is sent directly to the server without any need for help from the measuring station.
Figure 1. – The principle of displaying temperature on your website
What hardware to use?
The temperature is measured using a TM (thermometer for RS232), TMU (thermometer USB) or TME thermometer (Ethernet).
Web thermometer in PHP
What is necessary for this solution:
 - Hosting (or an intranet server) with PHP scripting.
 - Computer with a connected TM or TMU temperature sensor making regular connections to the Internet, or a TME thermometer connected permanently to the Internet.
The systems of temperature measuring and updating on the WEB is illustrated in the figure above. At the point of measurement, a TM or TMU temperature sensor is connected to a computer running the control program. In regular intervals, the program measures the temperature from the sensor and sends it to a server connected to the Internet (or Intranet).
In case of the TME Ethernet thermometer, the process of sending the measured temperature is even simpler. The interval for sending the measured value as well as the internet address of the script processing the temperature is set directly in TME. This is the only setting that needs to be done in this version.
On the server, the only thing you need to do is to place a simple script on the WEB site (described below), which saves the received temperature and makes sure it is displayed at a desired location of your website.
[ The below described solution of temperature data transfer is the most basic example of available solutions. Naturally, this solution should also include security or should be able to deal with long-term loss of communication with the server. ]
Script
The source code of the script on server (we thank Mr Milan Kozák for finalising the script):
<?php
// Load variables from the temp sensor and protected against XSS attacks.
$TEMP = htmlspecialchars($_GET['temp'], ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8");
// If the temperature comes as a parameter, write it in a file and displays the results.
// If the file has the appropriate rights, displays an error message.
if ($TEMP)
 {
 if ($file=@fopen("temperature.dat", "w"))
 {
 $text=fwrite($file,$TEMP);
 fclose($file);
 echo $TEMP;
 }
 else
 {
 echo "Error - file temperature.dat does not have permission to write!";
 }
}
// If the temperature does not come as a parameter, loads and displays the temperature of teploty.dat file.
// If the file has the appropriate rights, displays an error message.
if (!$TEMP)
 {
 if ($file=@fopen("temperature.dat", "r"))
 {
 $text=fread($file,10);
 fclose($file);
 echo $text;
 }
 else
 {
 echo "Error - file temperature.dat has no permission to read!";
 }
}
?>
The script enables both the receipt of the measured temperature and its displaying. The relevant code can simply be stored as a teplota.php file into the root folder of your WEB. If the Internet address of your server is for example _URL_, the address of your script will be _URL_ The measured temperature can be stored on the server using the parameter handed over to the script. The temperature of 25.6°C can be entered the following way: _URL_ Use this method to test the functionality of the script. Temperature is transferred this way using the operating program which is described below.
If you consequently open the address _URL_ in your Internet browser, the text "25.6" is displayed (the last measured value of temperature).
[ The script for saving the current temperature uses the teploty.dat file, which can be found in the same directory as the script. It is necessary to ensure that the PHP server is fully entitled to write as well as read the file. ]
Now, the script on the server has been finished. Naturally, we can incorporate it into our WEB site or extend it by other functions or security. Regular update of measured temperatures is ensured by an application described below. (The application is not required if temperatures are measured using the TME Ethernet Thermometer, which sends the measured temperature directly to the Internet without requiring any PC.)
Program for temperature measuring
What is required for this program:
 - A computer with Windows 2000, XP operating system or higher.
 - Permanent or regular connection to the Internet. (required for sending temperature values to the server in the Internet.)
 - A connected TM or TMU thermometer.
 - [ If a TME thermometer is used, the application is not required. TME sends the temperature values by itself without requiring any PC. ]
The operating program makes sure that the temperature is measured by the TM or TMU sensor and sent to a server in the Internet. It enables the user to set the intervals of measuring and is able to save measured temperatures into a file, which can be easily imported into the Microsoft Excel program. The program must run on the computer which is connected to the thermometer.
The picture shows all the program windows.
The figure shows all program windows. The main window can be found on the left at the bottom with a minimized main window above it. The right window enables parameter setting.
Main window
The main window shows the measured temperature and the procedure of sending the temperature to the Internet, including any errors occuring in the communication with the sensor or the server. The logs displayed in this window can also be stored in form of a text file of the following format: TM2web - dd.M.yyyy.log. The file is stored in the same directory as the program.
The button to the right of the temperature value can be used to minimise the main window into a stripe (the upper left-hand side of the picture).
The Options button opens the setup window, the Hide button hides the main window on the bottom bar in the area of the clock.
Setup window
Target URL address – the address of the script processing temperature values on the server in the Internet. By clicking the Send button it is possible to send the currently measured value to the set address.
Period of automatic sending to server – the intervals in which temperature values are to be sent to the server in the Internet. The time needs to be set in minutes. If "0" is chosen, the function of automatic sending is deactivated.
Source serial port – from the list choose the COM serial port with the connected TM thermometer or choose a virtual serial port of the TMU thermometer. Click the button to the right of the COM selection field to open/close the selected port for communication with the sensor. If the "Automatic" box is ticked, the selected port is open automatically after the program has been started.
Other settings – saving temperatures into a text file
Always on top – the main window will always be on top of other windows.
Generate temperature LOG – a text file with measured temperatures will be stored every day into the directory containing the program. The temperature files hold names of the following format: Temperature(dd.M.yyyy).log. Each line contains one log including the date and time of measurements. The values are separated by tabulators, which makes the files easy to import into e.g. the Microsoft Excel program.
The setup window can be closed without accepting the changes by pressing the "Close" button or the changes can be saved and the window closed by pressing the "Save and close" button.

The UAE healthy future study: a pilot for a prospective cohort study of 20,000 United Arab Emirates nationals
Source of Publication
BMC public health
BACKGROUND: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is faced with a rapidly increasing burden of non-communicable diseases including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The UAE Healthy Future study is a prospective cohort designed to identify associations between risk factors and these diseases amongst Emiratis. The study will enroll 20,000 UAE nationals aged ≥18 years. Environmental and genetic risk factors will be characterized and participants will be followed for future disease events. As this was the first time a prospective cohort study was being planned in the UAE, a pilot study was conducted in 2015 with the primary aim of establishing the feasibility of conducting the study. Other objectives were to evaluate the implementation of the main study protocols, and to build adequate capacity to conduct advanced clinical laboratory analyses.METHODS: Seven hundred sixty nine UAE nationals aged ≥18 years were invited to participate voluntarily in the pilot study. Participants signed an informed consent, completed a detailed questionnaire, provided random blood, urine, and mouthwash samples and were assessed for a series of clinical measures. All specimens were transported to the New York University Abu Dhabi laboratories where samples were processed and analyzed for routine chemistry and hematology. Plasma, serum, and a small whole blood sample for DNA extraction were aliquoted and stored at -80 °C for future analyses.RESULTS: Overall, 517 Emirati men and women agreed to participate (68% response rate). Of the total participants, 495 (95.0%), 430 (82.2%), and 492 (94.4%), completed the questionnaire, physical measurements, and provided biological samples, respectively.CONCLUSIONS: The pilot study demonstrated the feasibility of recruitment and completion of the study protocols for the first large-scale cohort study designed to identify emerging risk factors for the major non-communicable diseases in the region.

The digging is done on Monroe County's $5 million effort to restore five troubled canal systems but the watching goes on.
The installation of a weed-gate curtain in Big Pine Key's Atlantic Estates subdivision marked the end of the construction phase on six prototype projects that test varied techniques in a quest to cure sick canals.
For the next two years, Florida International University experts will compare changes in water quality against water samples taken before construction work began in early 2015.
"The initial post-construction monitoring results are promising," said Rhonda Haag. "They show improved dissolved-oxygen levels and [water] clarity.... We are pleased that the early results show the restored canals are helping to bring back marine life."
Haag, who oversees the pilot program as Monroe County's sustainability director, said, "We already have learned much from each type of project."
The first slate of projects test restoration methods that could be used for future projects if funding is available. Some prototype canal projects have already revealed needed changes in planning and technology.
Poorly planned canal systems dug decades ago can create environmental conditions that degrade water quality. That unhealthy water then flows into nearshore Keys waters.
"The threat is real to our nearshore waters, the same waters that drive our tourist-based economy," County Commissioner George Neugent said in a prepared statement.
Status of the first six canal projects:
- Canal No. 29, in Key Largo's Sexton Cove subdivision. Engineering and construction costs of $1.36 million backfilled a deep canal, about 225 yards long, to depths of 8 feet. The project's four-month construction finished in July 2015. Water clarity has improved, healthy plants sprouted and "a return of abundant sea life was noted by canal residents."
- Canal Nos. 470 and 472 on Geiger Key were connected by a 112-foot culvert, 24 inches by 38 inches, to improve flushing. It worked after its April 2015 opening, but a seaweed buildup in the pipe caused it to be closed in July 2015. After changes were made, the culvert was reopened last month. Cost was $221,000, of which the state funded $100,000.
- Canal No. 266 in Big Pine Key's Doctor's Arm subdivision, described as "one of the very worst in the entire county" due to muck and decayed seaweed. The $1.35 million project finished last month after extensive vacuum dredging and air-curtain installation.
- Canal No. 290 off Avenue I on Big Pine saw similar vacuum dredging to remove muck five feet deep from the bottom at a $798,000 cost. A pre-existing weed gate needs replacing or upgrades since it did not block some seaweed from returning
- Canal No. 277 in Tropical Bay Estates on Big Pine Key got a 200-foot culvert, 60 inches in diameter, to improve tidal flushing at a cost of $424,000.
- Canal 287 on Big Pine Key received a $150,000 air curtain to block seaweed.
Two more canal projects, funded by an additional $2 million, are planned for this year.

=over =item grep BLOCK LIST X =item grep EXPR,LIST This is similar in spirit to, but not the same as, grep(1) and its relatives. In particular, it is not limited to using regular expressions. Evaluates the BLOCK or EXPR for each element of LIST (locally setting C<$_> to each element) and returns the list value consisting of those elements for which the expression evaluated to true. In scalar context, returns the number of times the expression was true. _USER_ = grep(!/^#/, _USER_); # weed out comments or equivalently, _USER_ = grep {!/^#/} _USER_; # weed out comments Note that C<$_> is an alias to the list value, so it can be used to modify the elements of the LIST. While this is useful and supported, it can cause bizarre results if the elements of LIST are not variables. Similarly, grep returns aliases into the original list, much as a for loop's index variable aliases the list elements. That is, modifying an element of a list returned by grep (for example, in a C, C or another C) actually modifies the element in the original list. This is usually something to be avoided when writing clear code. If C<$_> is lexical in the scope where the C appears (because it has been declared with C) then, in addition to being locally aliased to the list elements, C<$_> keeps being lexical inside the block; i.e., it can't be seen from the outside, avoiding any potential side-effects. See also L for a list composed of the results of the BLOCK or EXPR. =back

As someone who loves oranges, I often wonder whether it is safe to eat oranges with brown spots. Brown spots on oranges can be caused by various factors, including fungal infections, insect damage, and bruises. While these spots may not look appealing, are they safe to eat?
The answer is generally yes. Brown spots on oranges are not harmful and do not affect the taste or nutritional value of the fruit. However, it is important to note that if the spots are accompanied by mould or a foul odour, the orange should be discarded. Additionally, if the orange feels overly soft or mushy when squeezed, it may be overripe and should also be avoided.
Brown Spots on Oranges: What They Are and What Causes Them
What are the Brown Spots on Oranges?
Brown spots on oranges are a common sight, and they can appear on the skin or inside the fruit. These spots can vary in size and shape, and they may be raised or flat. While they may look unappetising, brown spots on oranges are usually safe to eat.
Causes of Brown Spots on Oranges
Brown spots on oranges can be caused by a variety of factors. One of the most common causes is a fungal disease called citrus scab. This disease causes brown or black spots to appear on the skin of the fruit. Another common cause of brown spots on oranges is damage from citrus rust mites. These tiny pests feed on the skin of the fruit, leaving behind brown or black spots.
In some cases, brown spots on oranges may be caused by a bacterial infection known as black spot disease. This infection can cause dark spots to appear on the skin or inside the fruit. However, this type of infection is less common than fungal diseases or damage from pests.
Other Types of Spots on Oranges
In addition to brown spots, oranges may also develop other types of spots. For example, black or brown spots on oranges may be caused by fungal infections such as Alternaria rot or blue and green mould. Dark spots inside oranges may be a sign of decay or spoilage.
It is important to note that while these spots may look unappetising, they are usually safe to eat. However, if you notice any signs of mould or a foul odour, it is best to discard the fruit.
In conclusion, brown spots on oranges are usually safe to eat and can be caused by a variety of factors, including fungal diseases, pest damage, and bacterial infections. While they may not look appetising, these spots are generally harmless and do not affect the quality or taste of the fruit.
Can You Eat Oranges with Brown Spots?
Safety of Eating Oranges with Brown Spots
Brown spots on oranges are usually caused by a fungal infection, such as Alternaria rot or brown rot. While these spots may not look appetising, they are generally safe to eat. The fruit inside the orange is usually unaffected by the fungus, so you can simply cut off the affected areas and enjoy the rest of the fruit.
However, it is important to note that if the brown spots on the orange are accompanied by a foul smell or a slimy texture, then the fruit has likely gone bad and should be discarded.
When to Discard Oranges
If the brown spots on the orange are accompanied by a foul smell or a slimy texture, then the fruit has likely gone bad and should be discarded. Additionally, if the orange is mushy or leaking juice, it is also a sign that the fruit has gone bad and should not be consumed.
Treating Black Spots on Oranges
If you notice black spots on your oranges, it could be a sign of citrus black spot, which is a fungal disease that affects citrus fruits. To treat black spots on oranges, you can try the following:
- Remove any affected fruit from the tree and dispose of it properly.
- Keep the area around the tree clean and free of fallen leaves and fruit.
- Apply a fungicide spray to the tree according to the manufacturer's instructions.
By taking these steps, you can help prevent the spread of citrus black spot and keep your oranges healthy and safe to eat.
In conclusion, while brown spots on oranges may not look appetising, they are generally safe to eat as long as they are not accompanied by a foul smell or slimy texture. If you notice black spots on your oranges, it could be a sign of citrus black spot, which can be treated with proper care and attention.
Other Orange Related Questions
Many people wonder whether they should refrigerate oranges or not. The answer is that it depends on the ripeness of the fruit. If the oranges are already ripe, it's best to store them in the fridge to prolong their shelf life. However, if they are not yet ripe, it's better to keep them at room temperature until they are ready to eat.
Mould on Oranges
If you notice mould on your oranges, it's best to discard them. Mould can be harmful to your health, especially if you have a weakened immune system. Mouldy oranges may also have a strange, unpleasant smell. If you're not sure if your oranges are mouldy or not, it's best to err on the side of caution and throw them away.
Avoiding Bruised Fruit
When selecting oranges, it's important to avoid fruit that is bruised or damaged. This can be a sign that the fruit is overripe or has been mishandled, which can lead to a shorter shelf life and potentially harmful bacteria growth. Look for oranges that are firm and free of any visible damage.
In summary, it's important to properly store your oranges to ensure they stay fresh and safe to eat. If you notice any mold or damage to the fruit, it's best to discard it to avoid any potential health risks. By following these tips, you can enjoy delicious, healthy oranges all year round.

The Treetop Walk in Fyresdal
14 June 2023
Location: Hamaren Activity Park, Fyresdal, Norway
Photos by Rasmus Hjortshøj
The Treetop Walk, Norway
The Treetop Walk is a one kilometer long and two meters wide plank boardwalk extends on pillars all the way from the forest floor, along lake Fyresvatn, up between the treetops, along the mountain ridge and up to the summit of Klokkarhamaren. At the end of the trail, a considerable circular viewpoint with a diameter of 50 meters provides a spectacular 360-degree view over the pine forest, clear lakes and rock formation that make up the natural landscape.
"The real task before us was to reconnect people with nature and create a design that would enhance the experience of the visitors – taking them on a slow and poetic walk through the forest canopy, culminating in a rush of excitement as they take in a scenic view of lake against sky at 60 meters above lake water level. Although it is a small gesture in the bigger picture, we hope that granting people free and universal access to experience the sublime nature of this site, can serve as an example for others." explained Tue Foged, one of the two founders of Copenhagen-based EFFEKT.
The wooden boardwalk structure is carefully designed as a response to the curvature of the mountain, sometimes following the mountain's ridges and slopes, and sometimes bending out, creating viewpoints and dramatic drops where visitors can feel the wind in the treetops.
The walking trail, which is universally designed with a gentle incline, is suitable for pedestrians, cyclists, pushchairs and wheelchairs. It grew out of a heartfelt desire to give all people, regardless of physical abilities, the sensational feeling of walking amongst the treetops, according to Monica Sølyst, Project Lead at Faun Naturforvaltning.
"This is a great day for Faun Naturforvaltning and for Fyresdal Municipality! We have led this process since 2017 and it is extraordinary to see our idea come to life. EFFEKT quickly understood our idea and designed the Treetop Walk, ensuring a spectacular experience for all. The design and structure is beyond our wildest dreams! The Treetop Walk has already put Fyresdal on the map and we are looking forward to visits from near and far." Said Sølyst.
The loadbearing structure as well as the boardwalk and railing are made from locally sourced pinewood. This way the structure literally blends in with existing pine trees on the mountain, sometimes giving the visual impression that the boardwalk levitates through the forest.
To fulfill the vision of creating an experience that would add to the already beautiful natural setting and not destroy it, the EFFEKT team met up with local contractor Inge Aamlid. Together they invented a simple wooden building system that is used throughout the whole tree-top walk.
It uses only small and straight pre-fabbed elements, that can easily be handled with small machinery and by hand on site, to protect the nature during the building process. When joined together the segments form an organic shape that bends around the trees and along the mountain. The building system made it possible for Aamlid to build the recreational walkway on location, using local timber and local craftsmanship techniques, nodding to the logging era in Fyresdal.
"We developed the design of the treetop walk during the pandemic lockdown, which meant no site visits. Instead, we had to send over GPS coordinates from topographic maps to Fyresdal Municipality who in turn took pictures of the landscape, allowing us to adjust the route according to the learnings from the actual site. The process resulted in 3D-models, which enabled our local contractor to build the design of the boardwalk very precisely in the challenging terrain. We are quite amazed with the result of this beautiful co-creation process with Fyresdal Municipality and the local contractor!" Said Foged.

About Hamaren Activity Park
Hamaren Activity Park in Fyresdal, Norway, opened in 2017 and is a public destination for outdoors experiences in nature with cycling and nature trails, trampoline, climbing and more.
The addition to the park is a one-kilometer boardwalk, which makes the forest accessible for all user groups and takes them all the way to the summit of Klokkarhamaren.
Already before the treetop walk in Hamaren Activity Park opened, Visit Norway featured it as the number 1 hot spot of 2023.
EFFEKT is a research-based design studio based in Copenhagen. The studio was established in 2007 and employs 50 designers, thinkers, and builders working within Architecture, Urbanism, Landscape, and R&D under the creative leadership of the two founders Tue Hesselberg Foged and Sinus Lynge.
EFFEKT uses holistic design solutions with the aim of improving the quality of our cities and living places and creating lasting social, economic and environmental changes to the benefit of people and the planet.
EFFEKT has made its mark on the international architecture scene with a number of award-winning projects, such as the 45-metre high Forest Tower in Gisselfeld Kloster's forest, GAME Streetmekka Viborg, an old wind turbine factory converted into a sports and cultural center, the visionary eco-village concept and design for ReGen Villages and the Livsrum Cancer Counseling Center. Most recently Living Places Copenhagen was inaugurated showcasing a total of seven prototypes – five open pavilions and two completed full-scale homes that show how we can develop sustainable buildings with a three times lower CO2 footprint and a first-class indoor climate. The Living Places concept holds the lowest CO2 emissions in Denmark, demonstrating that we do not have to wait for future technology to build more sustainably.
Currently, the design studio is engaged in project development in Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Japan and Australia.

If you've recently purchased a new car, you may be wondering about state car tax rates. Although most states require sales tax on all transactions involving vehicles, there are exceptions. Some states allow people to gift vehicles or sell them for a low price without paying sales tax. It is important to understand the differences between car tax rates in different states and make sure you're getting the best deal possible. Here's how to calculate car tax rates.
Car taxes can vary greatly depending on the state, city, and municipality where you live. You may have to pay state and local taxes on your car depending on where you live. Your state DMV should be able to give you details about car tax. Having an understanding of car taxes can make the process easier for you. And with so many different states and localities, it's important to understand what each one is charging you. Listed below are some common car taxes in the United States.
Before you buy a new car, consider the cost of car tax. This tax is generally part of the total price of the car, and varies greatly by state. The federal government also charges taxes on certain types of cars. Many people qualify for lower federal tax rates, and even rebates from the government. You may qualify for a significant rebate or discount by purchasing a hybrid or alternative fuel vehicle. This savings can add up fast, so make sure you check out all of your options before you purchase a new car.
A new hybrid or battery-electric vehicle can save you up to $4,000 on your car tax. These vehicles are considered green cars, as they run on alternative fuels and are often priced well below those in traditional fueled cars. The federal government has put into place incentives to encourage the production of hybrid cars. While the tax rebates aren't as big as they once were, they still are great discounts for people who are looking to buy an alternative fuel vehicle.
When your vehicle needs to be taxed, the DVLA will send you a reminder, which includes information for registering it online. Failure to pay the SORN is punishable by the same law as failing to pay duty on public roads. You should also check your registration status as late registrations will cause your vehicle to be impounded. If you fail to tax your vehicle, the DVLA will send it to a debt collector. The DVLA will prosecute you in court if you don't pay your car tax.
The reformed VED system also includes changes to the way car tax rates are calculated. While the current 11-band system varies between 14% and 36%, the new 20-band system will have rates from 7% to 37 percent. The new rates will make new cars more expensive for consumers, but the government hopes the new system will motivate people to buy eco-friendly vehicles. So, keep an eye out for any changes and stay updated!

The legs, church windows or tears of wine. Many a wine drinker and scientist have swirled the wine through their glass and watched this phenomenon with amazement. What causes the tears? And what do they say about the wine? For a long time, science has not been able to explain exactly how the tears come about, but surface tension, temperature, ridge instability and shock waves (!) seem to give the long-expected complete answer.
Wine is primarily a mixture of water and alcohol. In a wine glass, due to capillary action, the wine crawls up slightly at the side of the glass. The bend wine surface that is formed is called the meniscus (see figure below). The alcohol evaporates faster in the meniscus than in the rest of the glass. This is because the meniscus has a larger surface area in proportion to the volume underneath. As a result, the wine in the meniscus contains less alcohol and relatively much water compared to the wine in the rest of the glass. Water has a higher surface tension than alcohol and therefore "pulls" harder on the surrounding liquid. The gradient that arises from the high-alcohol wine in the glass to low-alcohol wine in the meniscus causes a difference in surface tension. The higher surface tension of the watery wine in the meniscus makes that more wine is pulled up from the glass, resulting in a film layer of wine on the side of the glass.
In 1865 the Italian physicist Carlo Marangoni described this effect in his thesis, and a few years later Josiah Willard Gibbs gave a theoretical thermodynamic description in several articles entitled "On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances". Since then, the formation of the film layer of wine on the side of a wine glass has been known as the Marangoni-Gibbs effect.
The formation of a wine film layer on the side of a wine glass due to the Marangoni-Gibbs effect. The evaporation of alcohol provides a gradient in the surface tension (λ), and a gradient in the temperature (T) of the film layer on the wall of the glass. The tears of the wine form under the influence of gravity on the ridge of the film layer.
Recent research shows that the Marangoni-Gibbs effect can not only be attributed to the evaporation of the alcohol and the difference in surface tension that arises. Venerus et al. showed in 2015 that the evaporation of the alcohol also causes the wine in the film layer to cool down. The importance of this temperature difference for the Marangoni effect has always been overlooked.
The resulting temperature gradient in the film layer causes the wine to "flow". Just like the warm Gulf Stream that brings warm sea water from the Gulf of Mexico to the northern part of the Atlantic. Similarly, the temperature gradient in the film layer ensures that wine flows up the side of the glass. As such, the temperature difference contributes to the Marangoni-Gibbs effect. The flow rate of the wine in the film layer is therefore dependent on the gradient in surface tension AND the temperature gradient, and both are caused by the evaporation of alcohol1.

This information further clarifies the Marangoni-Gibbs effect, and explains how it is that wine flows up against the side of the glass. But what makes the wine drip down again? Gravity? Yes, but that is a very simplistic representation of reality. How is it that wine specifically forms drops at regular intervals that as tears flow back into the glass?
The ridge, on top of the film layer, falls apart into tears under the influence of gravity. In a 2018 study, Nikolov and his colleagues show that the way in which the ridge of the film layer falls apart corresponds to the theory of the Plateau-Rayleigh-Taylor instability2. This is a mathematical description of the instability that occurs when a liquid with a light density pushes against a liquid with a higher density. In the case of our wine film layer, the film layer is the liquid with a light density that pushes against the wine that forms the ridge and has a higher density. At a certain point the downward pull of gravity on the heavy liquid (that is pulled down more than the light liquid) outweighs the upward force of the light liquid. The heavier liquid breaks through the barrier created by the upward flow of the light fluid and forms tears that stream into the glass. The ridge stability is therefore a balance between gravity and the upward pressure of the light liquid.
A simplistic representation of the Plateau-Rayleigh-Taylor instability on the basis of which the wine tears form according to Nikolov et al.. The ridge of the film layer (dark red) has a higher density than the film layer (light red) that under the influence of the Marangoni effect is formed and flows up.
However, the last question that remains is: what makes that the film layer has two different densities, creating a ridge that falls apart into tears?
The film layer is created by the Marangoni effect, and the tears are caused by the instability of the ridge of the film layer. But how is it possible that this ridge is created at the top of the film layer? According to Dukler et al. of the University of California, a shock wave through the film layer causes the formation of the ridge and the subsequent tears3. A "reverse undercompressive shockwave", that is. Dukler and his colleagues have developed a theoretical model that shows how this shock wave (in theory) arises from the evaporation of alcohol in the film layer and moves from the meniscus to the ridge of the film layer. A characteristic of this atypical shock wave is that the density of the liquid behind the wave is lower than before the wave. A situation thus arises that the ridge of the film layer has a higher density than the film layer below. And let this be THE starting point for the Plateau-Rayleigh-Taylor instability as described above.
"After removing the cover, [from a glass filled with port wine] evaporation quickly increases, inciting a "reverse" front to climb out of the meniscus, followed by the formation of wine tears falling back into the bulk. The forming front is characterized by a depression, i.e. the film ahead of the front is thicker than the film behind it. It is in a sense, a "dewetting" front that leaves a thinner layer behind it."[Dukler, 2019]
The researchers tested their theory by looking at the formation of tears in a stemless Martini glass with Port wine. The shock wave was perceptible (see the figure below) and preceded the tears of the wine. The researchers applied some simplifications for the model, but also for the experiment. For example, a martini glass is used because this glass has a constant angle, and the model assumes a constant gradient in the surface tension (caused by the evaporation of the alcohol). The effect in different wine glasses with a convex surface (and in particular the theory behind it) needs to be further investigated.
The ridge of the film layer and therefore also the tears of the wine are caused by a shock wave. The top four photos show from left to right how a wave front forms out of the meniscus and stabilizes in the tears of the wine after 10 seconds. In the lower left photo you can see a close-up of the shock waves that run to the ridge at the top of the film layer. The term "rarefaction" indicates the zone in which the density of the wine is lower than in the rim due to the shock wave. The figure below on the right shows the stemless Martini glass as used by Dukler et al. to test their theory.

What do the tears say?
As the theory above shows, the speed with which the alcohol evaporates is particularly important for the formation of tears. This evaporation depends on the amount of alcohol in the wine, but for example also on room temperature, wine temperature, humidity and air pressure. In general, the more alcohol the wine contains, the more tears there are. However, it is difficult to keep all these conditions constant, and in a mountain village, or on a rainy day, the formation of tears will proceed differently than on a beautiful sunny day at the beach.
The speed with which the tears flow back into the glass says something about the viscosity of the wine. The slower the tears drip down, the syrupier the wine. This syrupiness depends among other things on the amount of alcohol, sugar and glycerol in the wine. Alcohol, but especially glycerol and sugar, increase the viscosity.
Read now: Chardonnay arose through inbreeding!
All these different variables make it very difficult to conclude anything based on the tears of the wine about the contents of the wine glass. Provided that you do not only have the alcohol content as a criterion, then the tears of the wine say nothing at all about the quality of the wine.
The tears are the secondary effect of the evaporation of alcohol from the wine. With the evaporation of the alcohol, however, all kinds of aromas also evaporate. The wine derives its scent (bouquet) from the evaporation of these aroma substances. Knowledge about the formation of tears, and therefore the evaporation of alcohol in the wine glass, can contribute

Twenty-five research missions were flown over the NSA, SSA, and the transect during BOREAS IFCs 1, 2, and 3 during 1994. All missions had from 4 to 10 soundings through the top of the planetary boundary layer.

Unsatisfied By My Specification Pattern
February 7th, 2010 by Xerxes Leave a reply »
This week, I hit an interesting problem which I don't feel like was solved in the best possible way. The problem was that we needed to filter a list of objects based on some known criteria. Testing the specification is pretty important as there are a series of and'ed negating conditions (eg: IF this AND NOT that AND NOT the other etc…), in total about 5 unique criteria for the one filter.
Ordinarily this kind of implementation would lend itself nicely to the Specification Pattern given that all information required to determine if the specification is satisfied exists on the object member being passed in at the time of evaluation. In my case, however, I had 3 conditions that the object being evaluated must not exist in 3 different lists. To give you an example the object under evaluation is a model, and this step of filtering is part of a much larger process involving running the model through a recursive algorithm. At each step of the algorithm, the model object could have
 - Run through the algorithm succesfully
 - Been aborted during execution of the algorithm
 - Still awaiting to be executed through the algorithm
These three states are tracked by keeping 3 lists – one for each criteria. The filter that I was working on had to filter based on whether the model under evaluation was NOT in those three lists. I realise the wordiness of me explaining this doesn't really clear the air, so lets look at some code (with relevant types changed).
This is my model:
 public class User
 {
 public bool Enabled { get; set; }
 public string Name { get; set; }
 public UserType TypeOfUser { get; set; }
 }
The code which uses my filter looks something like this. This guy will be called recursively based on the result that gets returned from here. In this case, i'm building the allValidUsersFilter.
public class ReplacementUserFinder
{
 ...ctor...fields...etc
 public User FindReplacementUser(User userToReplace, IList<User> allPossibleUsers, IList<User> usersStillToBeEvaluated, IList<User> usersAlreadyEvaluated, IList<User> usersAbortedDuringEvaluation)
 {
 var validUsers = _allValidUsersFilter.Filter(allPossibleUsers, usersStillToBeEvaluated, usersAlreadyEvaluated, usersAbortedDuringEvaluation);
 var replacementUser = _bestReplacementCandidateFinder.Find(validUsers, userToReplace);
 return replacementUser;
 }
}
and the interface for the AllValidUsersFilter – it's purpose is to filter the list of all users to a list of potential candidates given the list of all users:
 public IList<User> Filter(IList<User> allpossibleUsers, IList<User> usersStillToBeEvaluated, IList<User> usersAlreadyEvaluated, IList<User> usersAbortedDuringEvaluation)
 {
 return allpossibleUsers.Where(x =>
 _isUserEnabledSpecification.IsSatisfiedBy(x) &&
 _isOverseasUserSpecification.IsSatisfiedBy(x) &&
 !_isUserStillToBeEvaluatedSpecification.IsSatisfiedBy(x, usersStillToBeEvaluated) &&
 !_isUserAlreadyEvaluatedSpecification.IsSatisfiedBy(x, usersAlreadyEvaluated) &&
 !_isUserAbortedDuringEvaluationSpecification.IsSatisfiedBy(x, usersAbortedDuringEvaluation)
 ).ToList();
 }
The specification instances here are being ctor injected into my filter's instance so that I can use a behavioural style assertion to check that the specification is invoked correctly by the filter.
The IsUserEnabledSpecification, and IsOverseasUserSpecification just use the well-known ISpecification interface pattern, but in order to evaluate the the other three, I had to create an IListSpecification and it feels somehow unsatisfying because the only thing different between them is that I have to pass in the list to the IsSatisfiedBy methods.
I'm not happy with this result, and we went through several different options before settling on this one purely just so we could move forward, and come back to address this later.
Hoping someone out there might have some suggestions…After writing this post, i've come up with another idea which would probably be cleaner…need to try it out.

The benefits of modular construction are widely recognized by a majority of the housing industry. More builders than ever are enjoying the time savings and efficiency of modular building, even commercial construction. While time savings and efficiency are two of the best known benefits of modular construction, they are certainly not the only ones. Other benefits include:
- Indoor construction prevents damage to interior portions of the structure
- Indoor storage protects building materials from damage or deterioration due to adverse weather and moisture
- Modular structures are stronger due to their being designed to handle the stresses of traveling from the factory to the jobsite
- Modular factories participate in strict QA/QC Programs
- Building in a controlled environment reduces waste by recycling materials and protecting supplies
One little known advantage, however, is the jobsite. Site built homes require space for supplies, such as stacks of lumber, trusses, fixtures, etc. Modular homes require little space for storing materials since most of the work was performed at the factory. This means a more attractive jobsite for neighbors, and a quicker clean-up. Take a look at the photo to the right and see the difference for yourself. Not only was the modular home completed in 5 hours, the jobsite is neat and tidy for neighbors. This also means that with little materials sitting around the jobsite, there is less chance of small nails and screws being left behind to be stepped on or driver over.
One more reason more and more families and businesses are choosing modular.

Don't Make Your Children Feel Like They're a Burden
30 January, 2020
Becoming a mother is a choice that's entirely up to you. Because of this, don't make your children feel like they're a burden or take away your happiness.
Being a mother can be a tough and demanding job. Suddenly, you're in charge of a little person that depends on you entirely. However, if you make your children feel like they're a burden, your relationship can be strained and the psychological consequences that come with it can be long-lasting.
Everybody wants to feel loved and appreciated. However, having children is a selfless act. If you expect retribution, you'll feel frustrated and make it hard to create a bond with your children.
Don't Make Your Children Feel Like They're a Burden
Reasons why you should never make your children feel like they're a burden
1. You decided to become a mom
Becoming a mother is a personal choice, besides whatever social or family pressure you may be under, and everybody goes through different circumstances. Remember that you decided to have a child, and you decided to follow this path.
Maybe things are harder than you thought they'd be. You didn't expect your life to change this much, but this isn't a reason to make your children feel like they're a burden.
2. Unconditional love is the key
Your children will depend on you to cover their needs for food, love, and protection. They can't fend for themselves and need to trust that their parents will always be there. Their life depends on that.
It's easy to understand how important a mother is in their child's psychological development. This is their first and most important relationship. Growing up with a mother that constantly reminds them of the sacrifice they did for their children, of everything they left behind to take care of them, can take a toll on your child's mind.
Your child will understand that you didn't want them, they're not what they expected them to be, that you're not happy with them. The ground that constitutes unconditional love isn't there. Your child will feel confused, lost and not enough. If their mom thinks they're a burden, will somebody else love them?
Don't Make Your Children Feel Like They're a Burden
3. Being a mother doesn't stop you from being a woman
Some women lose themselves into motherhood. They quit their jobs, their friends and their interests, and dedicate themselves exclusively to raising their children. Women don't need to do this, nor should they go to the extremes. You're still human – you have needs, opinions, ideas, and a life of your own.
If you make your children the center of your existence, you're putting them under a lot of pressure. Don't give them the responsibility of making you happy. Your mood can't depend on what they do or accomplish in life. Frustration will settle. Your happiness is up to you. You need to work on having a complete and satisfying life.
Don't Make Your Children Feel Like They're a Burden
Don't make your children feel like they're a burden
Children need a mother that feels happy and whole by herself. Someone that can offer them unconditional love and support, so they can become healthy adults. Don't make your children feel like they're a burden, that you don't want them, or talk about the things you'd rather be doing.
If you do, they'll blame themselves for your unhappiness. They'll grow up with fear and feeling inferior. Your children will become anxious adults, trying to please others because they don't feel worthy of being loved. Besides, your children will resent you. Love your children unconditionally and make them feel loved.

No, it doesn't. You can wildcard the directories though so if your tree has a small-ish known depth you could do something like:
 /a/* /a/*/* /a/*/*/* {

If you only have logs at the leaf only /a/*/*/* is needed.

The In-Situ CHEmical MINIaturized analyzer (CHEMINI) is an instrument developed by IFREMER that measures dissolved chemical parameters in seawater including iron, nutrient salts and sulphur. CHEMINI is one of the sensors on Tempo-Mini, installed at Endeavour Ridge, and used to measure iron (Fe) properties near hydrothermal vents.
The study of chemical parameters at hydrothermal vents is important. As hot effluent encounters the cold seawater (~2 degrees C), minerals precipitate from the element-rich vent water. Black smoker vents are found in areas where the effluent is very hot (~350 C). These types of vents precipitate iron sulphides, giving rising plumes a dark colour and cause the formation of sulphide-mineral deposits on the seafloor.

text:
the noun form of the verb "respond." Respond means to answer, to reply, to react, to undertake, or to pledge. The word "responsible" is the adverbial form of that word and it means to be answerable legally or morally for the discharge of a duty, the discharge of a trust, or the paying of a debt. The noun form of that word is "responsibility" and it means that for which the person is responsible or accountable or answerable. In other words, we are responsible to carry out a certain responsibility, we are answerable.
The synonyms duty and obligation have shades of difference between them. Duty is used in the English language in such a way to show that they tend to arise from external circumstances. In the United States, the duty of serving in the armed forces arises when a draft is imposed by the United States government. Prior to that, you do not have the duty to serve in the armed forces. So the government applies an external force and drafts you in a national emergency. A duty tends to be applied then in a circumstance in which a responsibility is externally forced on a person.
The word responsibility tends to be used as showing something that arises from one's own undertakings; that is, one makes himself responsible to do something. This is not 100% absolute, but that is the way that writers tend to use it. In other words, a person volunteers or becomes employed in taking on a responsibility.
The word obligation is like a swing word, tying the two together and it tends to be used in either way, as something externally imposed or internally imposed. A responsible person then is one who carries out that for which he is answerable and what is he answerable for, his duties and obligations.
We have to have a spiritual synonym for this. I said that the word responsibility never appears in the King James Version. The closest spiritual word is "faithful."
This sermon is given in light of Passover. I think you will all agree that we need extra time to get prepared for Passover this year. When I put this sermon together, it was with Passover self-examination in mind.
We need to begin to think about preparing for Passover and I am beginning it by getting us thinking about broad responsibilities we all bear before God. God has given us the authority to deal with these things that we are going to be talking about; they are broad things and they are things that we are commonly aware of.
Romans 14:10-12 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written: "As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God." [Are you beginning to see responsibilities? We are not to judge, we are not to be contemptuous, our knee is to bow before God, every tongue is to confess to God, there is four responsibilities right there]. So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. [There is another responsibility].
Now let us look at it in a bigger context. The thought here is not that one should not judge. Does that seem like a contradiction to what the verse says? It is just that it is not well translated into the English. It is rather that one should not be passing judgment. There is a big difference between the two.
The responsibility that Paul is talking about here is not that we should not judge. Everybody has to judge. Everybody has to judge in order to make choices. You have to judge between this way, or this way, do you not? Sometimes you are looking at people in order to understand the wisdom of going this way or that way, and see, you have to judge what they are doing, but you do not have the responsibility from God to pass judgment on what those people are doing. You can judge that what they are doing is right or wrong, but you are not to pass judgment on them because that is God's responsibility. I hope that I have made that clear.
For instance, Paul says that we are to follow him as he follows Christ. We can apply this principle or we might say responsibility to anybody. With the apostle Paul or Herbert Armstrong or anybody else that is part of the church of God. I can include myself here, we must judge what Paul or Mr. Armstrong, or John Ritenbaugh does as to whether he is following Christ and whether we want to do what he is doing, and so you judge the situation.
Everybody has to do this, but we do not want to pass judgment on a person as being evil simply because they do something that is evil. You see that is overstepping our responsibility. God is judge and we are the judged. That is what Paul is saying here, we are the judged along with everybody else who is passing before the judgment seat of Christ, because judgment is now on the house of God, is it not?
So we are all being judged. God is Judge and we are the judged, just as surely as the person that we might pass judgment on. It is stupid—Paul is not quite saying this, but the implication of what he is saying is that it is stupid for a person guilty of one sin to point the finger of contempt at a sinner guilty of a different sin, but just as guilty.
There is even a legal basis for this. The basis for what Paul is saying here is that a person being judged—all of us—has no legal right to pass judgment. Did you realize in the United States that when you become a convict, your legal rights are given up? There are liberals who want to change that and they are changing those things and so a lot of guilty people are going free. But it used to be that a convict lost his legal rights and he still loses quite a number of them; such as not being allowed to vote, for example. But you see that is the legal basis for what Paul is saying here, that a person being judged has no legal right to pass judgment.
The good side of this is that, mercifully, God's judgment of us is positive in that He is not seeking ways to destroy us, but rather He is looking for ways to improve us, edify us, and purge us of what is wrong.
That sets the stage for the way we approach things here, that our responsibility before God is, in this sense, to look out for finding what our responsibilities are and not be concentrating, focusing on somebody else who is not meeting theirs. We can judge, but we are not to pass judgment, as though we are the judge assigning guilt to these people for what they are doing.
In Psalms 51, we move on to another area of responsibility that everybody has.
Psalm 51:3-6 For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against You [he says to God], You only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Your sight [now look at the purpose]—That You may be found just when You speak [you see, God is the Judge], and blameless when You judge. Behold [David says], I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, [no self deception, not letting human nature get the upper hand, but pure in heart, pure in spirit] Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart—These, O God, You will not despise.
There are many responsibilities there, but the use that I am making of this Psalm here is that we need to see that we play a very important part, an important role, in what God is working out in His judgment of us. Remember I said that His judgment of us is positive, that He is not looking at us critically for the purpose of destroying us and punishing us, but rather His examination of us is not to sentence us to death, but rather to produce life. There is a big difference between the two.
You see we play a part in this and here is one of the important responsibilities that we play in this and that is, that we can never begin to reach true responsibility until we first deeply and honestly acknowledge our responsibility for what we are and what we have done. Not rationalizing and justifying that the devil made me do it (even though that maybe involved), not rationalizing and justifying that I am the way I am because of Mom and Dad, because that too may have played a part.
All of us have made choices. Mom and Dad did not do it all, the devil did not do everything, we made the choices too, and it is our responsibility to own up for that. God demands repentance, which is a responsibility for Him. Now, what is so remarkable about this confession of David's is his utter candor about his accountability. He took full responsibility for his actions. He did not blame Bathsheba, he did not blame Uriah. He could have—"If Uriah would have been home, that would have never happened. If Bathsheba had not gone up on the roof and taken a bath there, that would have never happened. Why, if she was not so attractive and pretty, that would have never happened. She put that desire in me."
It is very easy to pass responsibility on to someone else. But you see, David

Advanced Rudder Stroke Techniques
The cross bow rudder strokes are similar to the bow rudder strokes. Yet, there is a slight difference. The bow passenger performs this act on the opposite side in which he normally paddles the kayak. The cross bow rudder stroke unlike the bow rudder stroke does not give you the time to switch hands. During this action you must rotate or swivel your body. While in position prepare to swivel your body around toward the opposite direction, and then cross the bow.
At the same time you want to scoop the blade downward toward the water. To avoid ensnaring your hand between the gunwale and blade, make sure you bring the lower hand up, and place it on the shank (shaft) a few inches. Keep the paddle gripped near the armpit (left) and make sure the paddle's blade dips into the water at a 40 degree angle.
Tip: You can use the sweep strokes at a 90-degree angle and reach the same affect you would get from the cross bow rudder method. Sweep strokes are commonly used by kayakers and canoeists to turn the boat slightly without interrupted the direction.
How sweep strokes work? You have choice. The first choice is to push over the bow. The second choice is to drive the kayak forward. The third method is to pull the stern toward the paddle.
How do other types of kayaking strokes work? Well, it depends on the stroke in which many are employed in kayaking. For instance, the stern rudder stroke is similar to the bow rudder strokes. The bow rudder is the process where the bow passenger uses his paddles to steer the boat in the course which he is paddling the kayak. The stern stroke is often utilized when the stern passenger cannot use the J-stroke method to redirect his kayak. Sometimes the direction the kayak is headed needs readjustment, thus the kayaker will employ the stern stroke to redirect the boat. Unlike the bow rudder stroke the person paddling the kayak will reverse his sweep and take a 120-degree angled turn rather than a 40-degree turn.
Tip: If you need to make an immediate turn while kayaking the bow rudder strokes is ideal, yet a draw stroke would be more beneficial if you spotted a obstacle in the waters that could cause damage. The bow rudder strokes will slow the kayak.
Kayaks are sport canoes, which are often lightweight and made of fiberglass. The boats are utilized in whitewater rafting, leisure, and often in competitive sports. The older models were made of animal skin, which *Inuit boats held one or two passengers, which both would use double-blade paddles to control the kayak. Sometimes people use kayaks to travel or race.
Facts: *Inuit is Artic people, or people from Greenland. The members of these lands lived in coastal areas of the Artic, Greenland, and Canada. The languages of Inuit descendants constituted languages of three branches. The branches included the Eskimo Aleut family.
Canoeing has dated back for centuries, which the kayak is a form of canoe. Today, people are enjoying whitewater kayaking, traveling, cruising, and more. In fact, the Internet has posted many sites that offer vacations that include whitewater kayaking. Kayaks are far more dangerous than canoes, since kayaks have closed seating arrangements, which you are often strapped in with knee and thigh straps. If you capsize (flip) the kayak, you had better learn steps to take to save your life.

What is Digital Partnering?
Digital partnering is a pair group that uses technology to share ideas and work together.
Collaboration can be Simple Using OneDrive
Collaboration doesn't have to be time consuming. If fact, it can be as simple as sharing ideas.
OneDrive allows teachers to post student work to a Group. Members can view and comment upon work within the Group. This provides an excellent opportunity for digital partnering.
For example, consider the activity we completed today. I posted all the students' amusement park maps created using Microsoft Word into a Group folder.
Students acted as business consultants. They were divided into partners. Each student logged into their OneDrive account to view their partner's amusement park map. They examined the current attractions on the map. Using the Comments system they suggested five new attractions that would make the park even better.
In the following class, students will view their own map to read their partner's suggestions. They will then combine the suggestions with their own ideas to generate a list of possible new attractions for their park. This list of new attractions will be used to create a survey. Survey data will be organized in Excel and graphed. The graph will be analyzed to select a new amusement park ride.
Seven Benefits to Digital Partnering
There are several advantages to students working in pair groups digitally:
- Time to Think: Not everyone can generate ideas quickly. Some people need more time to think. Digital partnering allows a student the opportunity to work at their own pace to process information and develop a solution, without the pressure of their partner sitting beside them waiting for input.
- Efficient: Work can begin immediately. There is no need to move around the room and adjust seating, which can create a commotion and can be time consuming.
- Focus on Task: Students can focus their attention on the task without the distraction of their partner. Chatter about unrelated topics is eliminated.
- Increase Student Involvement: There is no coasting or allowing your friend to do all the work when engaged in digital partnering. Since each student is responsible for generating ideas and posting them to the Comments pane, they must participate.
- Spark Inspiration: Often when students hand in their work they think it is done and they never have to look at it again. However, by having a partner comment upon the work it can inspire students to look at their work in a new way. As students gain a fresh perspective this can spark even more ideas for how to improve.
- Equal Opportunity: Outgoing? Shy? The personality of the student does not matter. When students work together face to face, often the shy student may not contribute as much to the conversation. Not because they do not have the ideas, but because they are overpowered by the ideas flowing from their outgoing partner. Digital partnering gives everyone equal opportunity to share ideas.
- More Receptive to Feedback: Too often suggestions for ways to improve can be taken personally, especially in face-to-face interactions. A person may become offended and want to defend their work in front of a peer. Technology creates a comfortable distance between people. This allows each student to focus on the ideas presented not on "saving face".
Commenting, Idea Generation, and Digital Partnering
Commenting is a skill that takes time to develop. Often students are not familiar with how to provide feedback to peers. Sharing ideas, through a commenting activity, provides a focused, meaningful way to help students practice this skill effectively. It also prevents students from posting hurtful criticism or vague feedback such as good job on their classmate's work because they have specific task they must complete.
Over the next few months, the Grade 7 class is going to continue to use OneDrive to collaborate. We are building towards success by engaging in simple tasks. In the previous class, students viewed fellow classmates' amusement park maps and posted one thing they really liked about the park. Today we expanded the complexity of the task to use Comments in a new way.
To prepare students for the task, we reviewed an amusement park map together. On the overhead projector was a sample map. Students were asked to provide suggestions on attractions that are missing from the amusement park that visitors may enjoy. I modeled how to add a comment and post the ideas. Once familiar with the activity, students were partnered with a classmate. These are the steps they completed:
- Login to OneDrive
- Access the Group folder
- View partner's amusement park map in the Word Web App
- Critically evaluate the contents of the document to generate ideas
- Activate the Comments pane
- Select part of the document
- Post a comment that contains five new attractions that can be added to the park
- Close the Word Web App.
- Log off OneDrive
Here is a sample comment. It is unedited. At first glance you might notice the grammar errors. If you focus on those you will be missing something wonderful – the exchange of ideas.
Notice the excellent suggestions by George. Now notice, how the student responded to their partner's ideas. The reply is positive and acknowledges the suggestion they like the most.
What is so amazing about these comments is I never asked students to reply to their partner. On their own students discovered how to reply to a comment. As well, the quality of their replies was such a pleasant surprise.
