Why Does Your Cat Have A Swollen Lip?
For the most apprehensive of us, any changes in our pets can easily make us worried. Any sign of sickness, be it behavioral or physical like a swollen lip, shouldn't be underestimated, although it's not always critical.
When a cat has a swollen lip, there may be many causes, including their diet, environment, dental issues. It's not always a concerning sign, but if the problem doesn't go away in a few days or it's recurring, it might be hiding a bigger issue.
Why does your cat's lip is swollen?
The reason for a cat's swollen lip is often eosinophilic granuloma complex or EGC. This term is used to describe a group of skin disorders, and often when this condition is present your cat's bottom lip will be swollen.
EGC can have many causes, including a wrong diet, bugs, dental or environmental issues, but it's commonly caused by an allergy.
Listed below are a few common causes of EGC along with other possible conditions behind cats' swollen lower lip.
Food allergy
Have you recently changed the type or brand of food you give to your cat? That could be the reason why your cat has a fat lip.
Just like us, cats can be allergic to food, and some of these allergies can be very dangerous or hide more serious conditions, like onion poisoning.
Many brands of dry and wet food have industrial additives to make food more appetizing to your pet. Some of these components may ignite an allergic reaction in your pet.
Sometimes simply removing the problematic food solves the problem. Other times, even if the cause is found, the swollen lip on the cat remains.
In this case, you can keep your cat on a hypo-allergenic diet for a while, and see if the problem solves itself. Topical medication may be needed to help the healing process.
Of course, you should consult your veterinarian before changing your cat's diet or giving them medications.
If your cat suffers from recurring episodes of swelling, keeping your pet on a hypo-allergenic diet for the rest of their life could be a solution.
Bug bites
When the season is warm and mosquitos are out for our blood, it's not uncommon to see a cat with a swollen lip.
Mosquito bites are the most common cause of EGC during summer, but it's not always easy to know for sure that your cat fat lip was provoked by a mosquito, so if it doesn't go away in the span of a few days, call your veterinarian.
Mosquitoes aren't the only culprits behind a swollen lip in cats. During summer, as well as the rest of the year, it's not uncommon for bugs and insects to come into our home.
Surely if you have an outdoor cat, you have to consider the risks and the 'encounters' your cat might have when outside, but indoor cats aren't immune to bug bites either.
Cats are also predators, and they have a lot of fun catching flies or other bugs. There's no saying in what insects and bugs have touched or the places they've been before meeting your playful feline, that's why cats may get swollen lips from trying to catch them.
The swelling caused by bug bites should disappear in a few days. However, if they touched a bug that carried some substance your cat is allergic to, this might not be the case and they will need a medical examination.
Food bowls
Cats can have more or less sensitive skin, just like humans. One of the items they come in contact with more often is of course their food and water bowls.
These bowls can easily provoke contact dermatitis or EGC if bacteria linger on them, but the material they're made of plays an important role as well.
In fact, plastic bowls are known to be the worst type of bowl your pet can have. They're not dangerous for cats only, they've been proven to cause skin problems to dogs as well.
That's because plastic contains chemicals that might ignite an allergic reaction in your pet. On top of that, bacteria are more likely to linger on plastic rather than other materials.
If you had a plastic bowl for a long time, that doesn't rule out the possibility that your cat lip swelling is caused by the bowl. In fact, your cat might develop an adverse reaction to plastic in the long run.
Try substituting your cat's plastic bowls with stainless steel or ceramic bowls. Stainless steel bowls are considered the best type of bowls for pets. Remember to wash your cat's bowl often and regularly to avoid lingering bacteria.
Environmental causes
This category is very vague because it refers to the specific habits and the environment that your cat lives in.
Outdoor cats are bound to visit different places and there's no saying in what material, food, ground, or living being could give them a swollen lip or other kinds of issues.
However, the life of indoor cats is not void of risks. Even the cleanest house is bound to have some dust, dirt, or other materials lying around every now and then.
As cats are very curious and exploratory by nature, it doesn't take much for them to come in contact with something that might cause an allergic reaction or even a light form of dermatitis.
How many times has your cat sneaked under a chair or a piece of furniture? That's one of the easiest ways to get swollen lips on cats.
It's impossible to restrain a cat, especially if it's an indoor one that doesn't have a lot of stimulation by default, so they should have the freedom to explore and play as long as it's a safe environment.
Swollen lips caused by these unfortunate circumstances are often innocuous and should pass on their own. However, if a cat's lip is swollen for more than a few days, don't hesitate to contact your veterinarian.
Dental issues
Sometimes dental issues are behind a cat's swollen bottom lip. A dental abscess, rotting tooth, or infected gums could provoke swelling in the lips or face.
In this case, the swollen lip might be the last symptom you notice, because dental issues are rarely without pain, and your cat will likely do one or more of the following:
 - Whine incessantly
 - Avoid food even when they're clearly hungry
 - Drool
 - Have extremely bad breath (more than usual)
 - Shake their head for apparently no reason
 - React aggressively or painfully when you touch their face, mouth, under their chin
Dental issues shouldn't be underestimated because they're likely to get worse with time. Your veterinarian will recommend medications or surgery to remove the problematic tooth or the infected tissue.
Chin acne
Did you know that cats can get acne? Not many people are aware of a condition called chin acne, which is often overlooked or not recognized at all because its symptoms are easily confused with other conditions.
This skin disorder is actually called follicular keratinization, where there is an overproduction of keratin in the outer layer of the skin that gets trapped in the hair follicle.
Chin acne can be a consequence of using plastic bowls because it exposes the cat to bacterial contamination. Poor grooming habits are another cause of chin acne, so it's not uncommon to see this disorder in older cats that cannot manage to groom themselves properly anymore.
When the acne affects hair follicles near the mouth, it may look like your cat has a swollen lower lip. However, this condition has nothing to do with the oral cavity and another symptom is usually the dirty appearance of the chin.
Chin acne is diagnosed through clinical signs, but sometimes blood tests and skin cultures may be needed. Treatment usually involves products to flush out the hair follicles and improve the hygiene of the pet.
A swollen lip might be, in rare cases, the symptom of an oral tumor, specifically feline oral squamous cell carcinoma, or FOSCC.
This kind of tumor is the most common oral tumor in cats, but it doesn't mean it's a common tumor. It usually occurs in old cats and affects the lower jaw and lip.
This tumor might affect other parts of the mouth, and cause great discomfort for your pet. A cat affected by this carcinoma has difficulty eating and might share the same symptoms as a cat with dental issues.
Luckily, metastasis for this kind of tumor is rare, but a more accurate assessment can only be done after a thorough medical examination.
The veterinarian will decide whether to proceed with treatment or surgery and will help you assess the quality of your cat's life in the future.
What should you do if your cat has a swollen lip?
A cat with a swollen lip is not necessarily a medical emergency, but you should nonetheless monitor your cat closely until they get better.
When the swelling is due to their diet, their food and water bowls, or another recent change in their routine, it is enough to remove the problematic item from their daily life and wait for the swelling to pass.
During the summer season, it's not uncommon for cats to be bitten by mosquitoes or other bugs. In that case, as well, the swelling should subside in a couple of days.
More often than not, outdoor cats come in contact with dirt, unknown materials, or other animals or insects that might provoke such a reaction.
Indoor cats are also at risk of developing swollen lips from eating the wrong food or sneaking under a dusty piece of furniture.
The wisest thing to do is to call the veterinarian right away, however, some pet parents might be reluctant because a trip to the vet can easily become an expensive situation.
Often, a cat with a swollen lip will be fine in a few days, but in the case that the swelling doesn't go away on its own after 2-3 days, or if

The confusion seems to be a result of a heavy NP shift (heavy noun phrase shift).
with a view toward bringing it to a conclusion.
with a view toward bringing to a conclusion it.*
* denotes incorrect usage
We wouldn't move it to the end of the sentence because it is too light. However, in our sentence we instead have the UN Security Council's consideration of this matter, which is a heavy NP (noun phrase), so it can be shifted to the end.
with a view toward bringing to [a satisfactory conclusion] [the UN Security Council's consideration of this matter].
It might be easier to understand the phrase by moving the heavy NP back:
with a view toward bringing [the UN Security Council's consideration of this matter] to [a satisfactory conclusion].
With that, it should be easy to see that this heavy NP is simply the "Council's consideration", where "Council" means the UN Security Council, and the "consideration" means the consideration of this matter, and it's the Council's consideration.
The part "addressing the UN Security Council resolutions, with a view toward bringing to a satisfactory conclusion the UN Security Councilˈs consideration of this matter" would refer to such addressing and it means that the addressing would be done with a view toward bringing the Council's consideration to a satisfactory conclusion.
As for whether including, among other things is redundant or not, I would say that it can be considered redundant; however, in my opinion, if we removed the among other things part, the addressing would appear to be less important than it currently is, as it appears in the original sentence.

Aims and Objectives of the Simon's Town Historical Society
The Simon's Town Historical Society was established in 1960 to collect information and artifacts with a view to establishing a Museum in Simon's Town. This aim was realised and the Simon's Town Museum opened in 1977.
The first Bulletin of the Society appeared in January 1961 and in this issue one can find our full constitution, but briefly some of our functions are:
- The preservation and promotion of the rich cultural heritage and ongoing history of this unique naval town.
- To help the Museum by, The collection, collation, preservation and exhibition of objects, documents, photographs and books concerning the history of Simon's Town.
The Society plays an important part in keeping an eye on our main street – "The Historic Mile" as it is known – on which there is a preservation order. It stretches from the railway station to the old East Dockyard Gate. We have also paid for many plaques to be placed around the town at sites of historical interest.
Other important projects undertaken in recent years are:
- The complete restoration (in conjunction with the SA Navy) of the Martello Tower built by the British in 1796.
- The survey of the Water mill at the SA Naval Sports field at Glencairn.
- The manufacture of an authentic gun carriage for an eight pounder VOC cannon now positioned at the Simon's Town Museum.
- The restoration of the Burgraaff / De Waal Family Vault (1868) in the Old Burying Ground in Simon's Town.
- Researching the history of Simon's Town is an ongoing activity.
- Organizing monthly public lectures which are held in the museum hall.
- Carrying out a survey of Simon's Town Heritage Resources including buildings and artifacts, an ongoing activity
- Researching and co-ordinating the production of the panels for the 'Wall Of Memory' in St George's Street.
- Customising software for the Simon's Town Museum's digitising of its accessioning records, photographs and documents.
- Research and documenting of the history of Simon's Town Water supply.
We have 200 members (2021), both in South Africa and overseas.

Lake Wind Advisory:
Lake Wind Advisories are issued when sustained winds of 25 knots or greater are expected for several hours during the first 12 hours of the forecast. Typically wind forecasts are expressed in ranges. Thus for example a wind forecast of 15 to 25 knots, or 20 to 30 knots would both constitute advisory level conditions. Winds of this magnitude typically create choppy to rough water in exposed areas, leading to potentially hazardous conditions for those operating small craft.

The relationship between strategic planning and firm performance has long interested strategic management researchers. In the past decade, this research effort has slowed down, while strategic planning has gained greater popularity among managers. However, some academics dispute the usefulness of strategic planning, particularly in turbulent environments. This paper examines the following key research questions that are relevant to both practice and theory. First, the relationship between the formality of strategic planning (conceptualised by considering whether firms have written strategic plans and the level of correspondence between the written strategic plan and the normative planning process) and a wide range of performance measures. Second, the relationship between three contingency factors - size, sector and environment, in addition to the incidence of formal planning and the level of formality. Of great interest are the effects of munificence and turbulence. The results suggest that the link between strategic planning formality and performance is tenuous. Nevertheless, managers tend to deploy strategic planning widely in difficult market environments. The conclusion is that strategic planning is perceived to enhance a firm's survival chances, but not necessarily its short-term performance.

Development of keeled flowers
A study using scanning electron microscopy has revealed that the keeled petals of Leguminosae and Polygalaceae are fundamentally different.
25 Mar 2011
Scanning electron micrographs of dissected floral buds of Polygala violacea (left) and P. gomesiana (right) (Image: M. Angélica Bello Gutierrez).
In keeled flowers, one of the petals (or two fused petals) forms a complex hooded structure that encloses the reproductive organs. The keel can facilitate pollen presentation in cases where pollen is deposited on it.
Keeled flowers are highly characteristic of some Leguminosae and Polygalaceae, two of the four families that comprise the rosid eudicot order Fabales. Research on floral development at Kew and Reading University, conducted by former Kew PhD student Angélica Bello, shows that the characteristic crest that occurs on the keel of some Polygalaceae develops relatively late in floral ontogeny.
Despite some ontogenetic similarities, the morphologies of the two types of keeled flowers are fundamentally different, suggesting a functional convergence between these two closely related families.

The ethics of dealing with the provision of nutritional therapies has been complicated by technological advances that have affected all of medical science. As a result, nurses are increasingly confronted with decisions regarding the provision of invasive treatments. Indeed, enormous faith is invested in the ability and wisdom of healthcare professionals to alleviate suffering and accomplish cure through the application of invasive therapeutic interventions such as percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement. Such decisions are often complex, present a moral dilemma, and are further complicated by prevailing politico‐economic, social, and cultural influences. The insertion of tubes for artificial nutritional support in those patients who can be defined as "vulnerable" is no exception. This article explores both the clinical and ethical realities of PEG tube placement and use thereafter in vulnerable patients. The ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, and justice are discussed within the context of PEG placement and feeding and recommendations are given for nurses practicing in the area of gastroenterology.

National Terrorism Advisory System
The National Terrorism Advisory System, or NTAS, replaces the color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS). This new system will more effectively communicate information about terrorist threats by providing timely, detailed information to the public, government agencies, first responders, airports and other transportation hubs, and the private sector.
It recognizes that Americans all share responsibility for the nation's security, and should always be aware of the heightened risk of terrorist attack in the United States and what they should do.
Imminent Threat Alert
Warns of a credible, specific, and impending terrorist threat against the United States.
Elevated Threat Alert
Warns of a credible terrorist threat against the United States.
After reviewing the available information, the Secretary of Homeland Security will decide, in coordination with other Federal entities, whether an NTAS Alert should be issued.
NTAS Alerts will only be issued when credible information is available.
These alerts will include a clear statement that there is an imminent threat or elevated threat. Using available information, the alerts will provide a concise summary of the potential threat, information about actions being taken to ensure public safety, and recommended steps that individuals, communities, businesses and governments can take to help prevent, mitigate or respond to the threat.
The NTAS Alerts will be based on the nature of the threat: in some cases, alerts will be sent directly to law enforcement or affected areas of the private sector, while in others, alerts will be issued more broadly to the American people through both official and media channels.
An individual threat alert is issued for a specific time period and then automatically expires. It may be extended if new information becomes available or the threat evolves.
NTAS Alerts contain a sunset provision indicating a specific date when the alert expires - there will not be a constant NTAS Alert or blanket warning that there is an overarching threat. If threat information changes for an alert, the Secretary of Homeland Security may announce an updated NTAS Alert. All changes, including the announcement that cancels an NTAS Alert, will be distributed the same way as the original alert.
The NTAS Alert – How can you help?
Terrorism information and intelligence is based on the collection, analysis and reporting of a range of sources and methods. While intelligence may indicate that a threat is credible, specific details may still not be known. As such, Americans should continue to stay informed and vigilant throughout the duration of an NTAS Alert.
Each alert provides information to the public about the threat, including, if available, the geographic region, mode of transportation, or critical infrastructure potentially affected by the threat; protective actions being taken by authorities, and steps that individuals and communities can take to protect themselves and their families, and help prevent, mitigate or respond to the threat.
Citizens should report suspicious activity to their local law enforcement authorities. The "If You See Something, Say Something™" campaign across the United States encourages all citizens to be vigilant for indicators of potential terrorist activity, and to follow NTAS Alerts for information about threats in specific places or for individuals exhibiting certain types of suspicious activity. Visit _URL_ to learn more about the campaign.
NTAS Alerts will be issued through state, local and tribal partners, the news media and directly to the public via the following channels:
- Via the official DHS NTAS webpage – _URL_
- Via email signup at – _URL_
- Via social media
- Via data feeds, web widgets and graphics
The public can also expect to see alerts in places, both public and private, such as transit hubs, airports and government buildings.

The Zabolotye lake (Russian: Заболотское озеро is a lake in the Sergiyev Posad Rayon of Moscow Oblast. The area of the lake is 3.2 km² (according to other sources - 1.96 km² )), the catchment area is 355 km², , the depth reaches 5 meters. The banks are wooded.
Geographical location[edit | edit source]
The lake is located 0.5 km from the village of Zabolotye and 3 km from the village of Verigino .The Sulat River. a right tributary of Dubna River (the Volga river basin) flows through the lake. The elevation above sea level is 127.8 m .
History[edit | edit source]
The lake has a glacial origin, its age is estimated at 10 000 years. For millennia, significant deposits of bottom mud were accumulated in the lake, which was much larger than the present ones, which led to a reduction in its area and the formation of the Dubninsky and Ol'khovsko-Bat'kovskii boggy massifs, as well as the meadows later overgrown with forest.
The lake was and is a resting place for Muscovites. There is evidence that Vladimir Ilich Lenin came to rest near Zabolotoye Lake . From the middle of the 20th century until the 1980s, water quality control measures were carried out and various reclamation projects wer implemented. Since the 1990s, large-scale activities on the lake have ceased. In 2011, the lake and its environs fell under the state program of flooding of marshed, in connection with which the construction of a dam was planned .
A new topographic map shows that the location of the lake is a predominantly swamp, and the name Zabolotye Lake has already been ommitted. .
Flora and fauna[edit | edit source]
The lake is inhabited by crucian , roach , pike , perch . Until the 1960s, the relic seaweed of kladofora lived in thh lake. This has disappeared as a result of reclamation.

text: In August 1999, the Indian Navy placed an order for four Ka-31 helicopters and a contract for an additional five was signed in February 2001. Total value of all nine helicopters is estimated at US $207 million. The first Ka-31 for the Indian Navy made its debut flight on 16 May 2001 and the first two of nine Ka-31 helicopters completed tests at the Kamov's Chkalovsky airfield near Moscow. The first batch of four aircraft was officially inducted into the Indian Naval Air Arm in April 2003 and the second batch arrived by the end of 2004. In Indian Navy service, these helicopters operate from surface combatants and shore bases. Due to its limitations in terms of endurance, the helicopter will be fitted with a helicopter-to-helicopter in-flight refuelling capability. The first three photographs in this album were taken on 10 February 2006, at INS Dega in Vizag, during the Presidential Fleet Review at the Eastern Naval Command. The other images were scanned from a Kamov brochure, which illustrates the capabilities of this Russian AEW [Airborne Early Warning] helicopter.

Aerial images of marsh plant communities reveal information that is not possible to obtain from ground level. High resolution aerial photographs display fine details of vegetation composition and distribution. Since 2006, The Meadowlands Environmental Research Institute has employed balloon photography to capture images of marsh and landfill surfaces. These images are a key resource for MERI scientists working to improve the Hackensack River marshland ecosystem.
High resolution images are captured using consumer grade cameras at altitudes between 150 to 300 feet. The current camera being flown is a 14.3 megapixel Canon G1X. The state of the art camera rig attaches the camera to an inflated 3 meter balloon. The balloon is tethered to a reel operated from the ground. This setup is cost efficient, easily deployable, and is highly mobile.
The high resolution images are assembled into a mosaic of the surveyed area which can encompass many acres. Individual images are stitched together using Adobe Photoshop. The mosaic is then geo-referenced using known geographic feature locations within the site. These mosaics are used to ground truth high-resolution hyperspectral image classifications. They are also used to identify training sites from satellite images and to develop spectral libraries for vegetation classification. Current applications of balloon photography include:
- Monitoring of plant establishment in closed landfill sites
- Mapping invasive species distribution
- Mapping endangered plant populations thought the district

Council of Europe publishes report on minority languages in Slovakia
Strasbourg 28 February 2007. The Council of Europe Committee of Ministers made public the first report on the situation of minority languages in Slovakia on 21.02.07.
On the basis of this report, the Council of Europe calls on Slovakia to improve its legislative framework in favour of minority language protection. In particular, it asks the Slovak authorities to review the remaining restrictions on minority language use in all spheres of public life, including the limitation of administrative use to those municipalities where at least 20% of the population are minority language speakers.
This report has been drawn up by a committee of independent experts which monitors the application of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages.
Further to the report, the Committee of Ministers has adopted a series of recommendations addressed to Slovakia. These include:
- Improvement of the provision of minority language education
- A stronger presence of minority languages in the media
- Promotion of awareness and tolerance concerning minority languages in Slovak society at large
In Slovakia, 9 minority languages are protected under the Charter: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, German, Hungarian, Polish, Romany, Ruthenian and Ukrainian.
The full text of the report and the Committee of Ministers' recommendations can be downloaded from the Charter's website: _URL_ ("Reports and Recommendations" section).

government has implemented dynamic fuel pricing based on the crude oil prices and the Rupee-Dollar exchange rate.
India has adopted the dynamic fuel pricing model, which means that the fuel price gets updated on a daily basis. The price depends on international oil prices and the Rupee-Dollar exchange rate. After that, the government levies excise duty and VAT. Lastly, the retail prices of fuels are determined after adding the dealer commissions.
Fuel prices in the country can have an impact on inflation, as fuel is a significant component of India's Consumer Price Index (CPI). If fuel prices increase, it can increase the prices of goods and services as the manufacturing and transportation costs will go up. It can lead to higher inflation due to the increased cost of living.
Some of the steps to mitigate the impact of high fuel prices in India are as follows.
Promoting fuel-efficient vehicles to reduce the overall consumption of fuel.
Investing and developing alternative energy sources.
Encouraging fuel conservation through public awareness and government incentives.
Set up strategic fuel storage and buffer stock of oil to safeguard against supply disruptions or price volatility.

This paper explores the mobilities and structural moorings of Thai labour migrants in Singapore from a translocal perspective. We argue that combining the mobilities paradigm with the concept of translocality offers a fruitful avenue of investigation not only of the production of translocal spaces, but also of their temporality and mutability. Through a multi-sited research approach we shed light on the genesis as well as the decay of translocal connections. This paper shows that translocal structures are important moorings of migration, and raises the question of what happens to translocal spaces when migration flows dissolve.

Fusible interfacing is brilliant and time-saving, but can leave you with a messy edge on the inside of your garment. You can finish the edge with a finishing stitch, or you can take a little time to neaten it before you even fuse your interfacing to your fabric! Follow these five simple steps for a professional-looking finish on the inside of your garment:
- Place facing pieces right side up, and place the interfacing pieces on top with the fusible side facing up (so the non-fusible side of the interfacing pieces should be meeting the right side of the facing pieces).
- Pin along the inner edge (the part that will not be sewn into the neckline seam).
- Using a straight stitch on a regular machine, attach the facing pieces to the interfacing pieces with a narrow seam (⅛"-¼").
- Turn the facing and interfacing pieces right side out, and smooth the facing out on top of the interfacing piece. If necessary, use a point turner to ensure that the seam you have just sewn is fully turned out.
- Press the facing pieces with the interfacing pieces below them, to fuse the interfacing to the facing.

It's important to make smart decisions while traveling, including choices that support local communities and protect the environment. Fortunately, there are plenty of sustainable tourism options in Uzbekistan. There are many guesthouses and homestays, especially in smaller villages, where the cost of the stay largely goes towards supporting local families. Check out tours to Aydarkul Lake (with stops at local villages), the Jeyran Ecocenter (home to threatened and endangered species), and sustainable tours to the Aral Sea, where tourism has grown to support villages where the fishing industry has been lost due to the receding waters.

a very poor wall game. The strength of a character's wall
game is determined primarily by how much damage they can inflict while their
opponent is in a state of wall stun. Another less important element of a
character's wall game is how well a character is able to maneuver their
opponent into a wall. Wall games are very similar to juggles. Once you
are aware of which strings or attacks you can use to dish out the most damage
to a character in a state of wall stun you have mastered this particular
element of Tekken. Note that the height at which a character becomes stunned
will often result in being able to connect with a larger or more powerful
string. The time it takes for a character to slide down the wall after being
popped up into a wall adds to the standard amount of time that wall stun
lasts. This in turn allows for longer strings or slower more powerful
While Rising: While rising is a state you will often find your character in
either intentionally or unintentionally. You are in this state whenever your
character is rising out of a crouch into a standing position. All characters
have unique attacks or movements they can use while in this state. The
advantage of while rising attacks is that most of them are pretty potent.
They have nice hit properties and do decent damage. Many launchers in Tekken
come from this state. The disadvantage of this state is that your options to
act are limited. Some enemy attacks may force you into a crouched state that
in turn forces you into a while rising state if you dont hold down to remain
-While Rising, Instant: To use while rising attacks and options deliberately
and quickly you must use the command input of down+back to crouch and
immediately release. Simply tapping down will result in a side step rather
than a quick crouch.
Section 2
Basic Combat Guide
In the Basic Combat section of this guide I will cover the primary forms of
damage that characters in Tekken utilize. I will also touch on a personal
theory of mine that determines the strength and skill of a player.
What makes one Tekken player better than another? What does one focus on to
become a better Tekken player? The answer to both of these questions is
We now know that the primary function of the right side of the human brain as
it relates to growth and development is to find patterns in everything we
perceive. Some minds will perceive patterns differently than others, but for
the most part, less complex patterns will be more widely accepted and easier
to identify. Tekken is no exception to this. The creators of Tekken
perceive with patterns just as the players do. That said, we can establish
that Tekken like all things is a game of patterns. I have noticed in my
many online matches of Tekken that ALL players fall into predetermined attack
patterns. The main reason for this is again that the mind perceives through
the use of patterns. The second reason is that Tekken has a finite number of
possibilities for any given situation. These possibilities are vast, but
still limited and therefore easier to perceive.
So how exactly can we use patterns to improve our play? To improve your
offense in Tekken you should strive to identify your own attack patterns.
Once you identify your attack patterns, you can work on making them more
complex and harder for other players to perceive. To improve one's defense
you should strive to familiarize yourself with as many attack patterns as
Take a random attack string of your primary character and all the
variables of that string. These are programmed attack patterns already
built into the game. Even with variations the patterns of a single attack
string will rarely exceed 3 or 4. Because there are only 3 or 4 variations
of this attack strings pattern it is very easy for players to perceive and
defend against. To counter this limitation, we must deviate from the preprogrammed strings and create customized attack sequences. Focus on your
opponent's attack sequences, no matter how complex or random his attacks,
there must inevitably be a pattern. Even a button masher subconsciously
conforms to patterns when he presses the buttons. Because multiple command
inputs are not registered by the Tekken program, it makes the attacks of a
button masher seem completely random and yet they are not random. Because
Tekken is a game of finite possibilities, if you play enough players and
identify enough patterns in their play styles your defense will vastly
improve. Also, to maintain a strong defense do not fall into the trap your
own mind will sometimes set for you. I have been caught in this trap many
times and Ive seen countless others get caught in this trap as well. The
trap occurs when you get an attack sequence, string, or pattern in your head
and you try to connect with it and it fails. Your opponent sees right
through it. Many people have an instinct or a need to connect with that
same attack that failed. If this happens, you have fallen into the trap.
By revolving your play style around this particular attack or sequence or
what have you, even if only temporarily, you are simplifying your patterns.
By simplifying your attack patterns, you severely weaken your offense.
A recap... To improve your offense, make your own patterns as complex as
possible. Even if it means giving your opponent a momentary advantage, it
prevents them from determining what you will do next. After all, if they
know what your going to do next, there is no need for reflex or coordinated
skill. To improve your defense, identify as many patterns as possible.
The objective of any match is to penetrate your foe's defenses to deal enough
damage to deplete all of their health. So we are going to cover the primary
forms in which damage is dealt. Almost all damage in Tekken comes in 1 of 3
forms. It comes from either juggles, mix-ups, or the wake-up game.
Mix-ups are a direct representation of one's ability to create patterns. The
more complex your attack patterns the better your mix-up game will be.
Mix-ups are comprised of 4 attack types, high, medium, low, and throws.
The idea of a mix-up is not to hit with all of your attacks, but to hit with
just 1 of your attacks. That attack should always best serve your goal of
depleting all of your opponents health. For example, if your opponent has
most of his health and he isnt familiar with your attack
patterns you should use a mix up that will allow you to connect with either
a launcher or a knock-down attack. If however this situation is the same
except that your opponent has very little health, you should use a mix up to
connect with a single hit that is more difficult to anticipate or block than
a launcher. Launchers tend to have poor recovery, and are unsafe if blocked.
If you only need one more connection to defeat your opponent dont risk your
defeat by using an unsafe attack.
Here is a very simple example of a mix-up so you have a place to start.
Bruce Irving has a simple low kick called Trident Low with a simple command
input of down+right kick. Its completely safe whether it connects or is
blocked. Poke your opponent with this attack at every opportunity until they
start guarding low. When they start guarding it, use his Knee Launcher.
The command input for the Knee Launcher is back, forward+right kick.
This attack has similar range, and animates only slightly slower than the
Trident Low. On top of that, it uses the same limb, Bruce's right leg,
making it even more difficult to see coming. The Knee Launcher hits medium
and is a great launcher for high damage juggles. Congratulations! you just
mixed up your opponent. You used an attack the Trident Low not with the
intention of dealing damage with it, but with the intention of getting your
opponent to alter his defense. This in turn left him vulnerable to the
medium hitting Knee Launcher which starts a massive juggle.
So step 1 of our offense is to use mix-ups to connect with attacks that will
either start a juggle or start a wake-up game. The reason for this is
because your opponent has no options while in the air, and his options while
on the ground are severely limited. Just as importantly, in both the air and
the ground your opponent is unable to guard.
Juggles are a reliable form of damage for all characters. There can be no
juggle without a launcher, so that is the most important part of a juggle.
Different launchers allow for different juggles. The juggle command input
should be second nature whenever a launcher connects essentially making them
one attack. Almost all characters have 7 juggles on their command list.
Juggles themselves are very very simple because at most you only need 2
juggles for each launcher your character has. The first juggle for each
launcher is to deal as much damage as possible before your opponent is rid of
his incapacitation. It will take practice and experimentation to find

Does Saxo teach you how to pack the packer?
Type：News | Updatetime：2021-03-26 10:33:23
After the baler is purchased, how is the baling done when the baling is carried out, and what is the specific baling process? As a professional automatic baler manufacturer, I will take everyone to understand the baler packaging process. The packing process of the packing machine is composed of four links: feeding, tightening, cutting, and pasting.
During the belt feeding process, the belt feeding wheel rotates counterclockwise, and the friction between the toothed belt wheel and the packing belt is used to make the packing belt advance along the packing belt path until the end of the packing belt hits the micro switch of the stopper, So that the packing tape is stopped, and it is in the position to be packed.
In the process of tightening the strap, the right paw rises to press the end of the strap, and the feeding wheel rotates clockwise. The friction force is also used to make the strap withdraw along the rail frame. At this time, the blades in the rail are retracting from the strap. Under the action of pulling force, it is released, so that the packing belt is continuously withdrawn until it is close to the surface of the package, and the tensioning arm swings downwards to completely tighten the packing belt.
The next step is the cutting and ironing process. The left jaw rises and presses the two layers of packing belts. The isolation table exits and the ironing head follows up. The two ends of the packing belt are heated. This is when the pressure block rises and cuts the packing belt.
Then there is the pasting process. The ironing head exits the actual position, and the pressure block continues to rise, and the two layers are pressed together with the heated packing tape to complete the packing action.

The digital divide in the city of Barcelona
The report The digital divide in the city of Barcelona describes Barcelonans ICT access, use, and the quality of their use. It was put out by the Mobile World Capital Foundation at the request of the Barcelona City Hall, in an effort to detect disparities between districts.
Factors such as age, education, income level and employment impact the way information and knowledge are accessed, giving rise to what has been called the "digital divide." Specifically, the digital divide refers to the inequality between those who have access to knowledge via new technologies, and those without it.
My colleges from 300.000 km/s published an intelligent and insightful review of the details of the report which they conclude like that: In addition, when the economic factor is combined with other variables, such as gender, age and education, inequalities do emerge with regards to access, use, and the quality of ICT usage amongst the citizens of Barcelona. For example, the digital divide is notable in low-income neighbourhoods in the case of women ages 65 to 74 with limited educations and who are not employed or dedicated to housework.
The most data is presented in a triple visualization consisting in a Sankey diagram representing the digital devide. Clicking on a data row or column shows you the questions asked to 5000 people from Barcelona. And selecting an answer draws the distribution by neighbourhoods:
The second visualization shows the distribution of user profiles, such as Advanced, Intermediate, Basic, Sporadic and Nonuser, by areas of income or by districts:
The third visualization is a comparision of all answers by districts of Barcelona. Selecting a neighbourhood and moving the mouse over the bar chart shows the normalized value compared to another neighbourhood:
The data from the study carried out by Mobile World Capital Barcelona, as well as its subsequent analysis and the conclusions drawn from it, are available directly in the PDF version of the report.

What is Welding Inspection?
> Blog > Blog > What is Welding Inspection?
By conducting a welding inspection, the different characteristics of a weld can be evaluated. Some of which can be related to the size of the weld while others are related to the presence of the welds' discontinuities or weld defects.
What is Welding Inspection?
Welding inspection is the use of technological applications to inspect or assess the quality of the welds. It is also to confirm the presence, location and coverage of the welds.
In the field of manufacturing, the welds are used to connect two or more metal surfaces. As the welds carry the brunt of loads, it can encounter fatigue which may be detrimental if proper inspection is not carried out.
There are many reasons as to why welding inspection should be carried out. However, the most prominent reason is to ensure that the welds are of the quality that will allow them to carry out their performance to the max.
In most cases, quality of the welds is determined on the basis of which functions it performs. There are some few ways to tell if a weld is correct.
1) Distribution
One way through which you can know if a weld is correct is through its distribution between two surface materials. It must be equally distributed.
2) Waste
The weld should be free from any wastes such as slag. After cooling, the slag should be removed easily.
3) Porosity
The surface of the weld should not consist of any irregularities, bumps or porous holes (porosity). Porous holes usually indicate weakness.
4) Tightness
The joints must be tight. If not, then it points to a weld problem.
5) Leak-proof
If you are working on an item that contains liquid or gas, a leak is a sure and an obvious way to guess if there is any problem or not.
6) Strength
If the welds are not able to demonstrate the required strength, then that is also another way to determine if the weld is correct.
The Types of Welding Inspection
1) Visual Inspection
Visual Inspection is the most common welding inspection method. In this, the naked eye is used to analyse the weld material for any defects. If implemented efficiently, it is the most inexpensive method to get good results.
2) X-Ray Inspection
X-Ray Inspection is a non-destructive method of welding inspection. This method is used to see the underside and inside of welded materials. It is recorded on radiographic films and gives a comprehensible reading in order to know how durable the welded materials are.
3) Ultrasonic Inspection
Ultrasonic Inspection is a non-destructive method through which sound wave frequency is analysed to test for proper echoing within welded pipes. Any abnormalities in the sound wave frequency is tracked in order to reject any welds.
Welding Inspector
On the part of the welding inspector, the individual must be in possession of a wide array of knowledge such as welding drawings, symbols, procedures, joint weld design, inspection and testing techniques, etc.
Therefore, the welding inspector is required to be formally qualified. In order to gain the certification of a welding inspector, you must pass a welding inspection exam.

created by LAMBDA Laboratory Instruments
LAMBDA peristaltic dosing pumps for automated pH control (pH-stat) by controlled addition of acid, base or buffers.
The most commonly used LAMBDA acid and base pumps are PRECIFLOW peristaltic pumps.
LAMBDA acid and base pumps can be remote controlled over the whole speed range for automated pH control:
During dosing of acid or base liquid to attain the preset pH value, peristaltic pump dispenses the liquid automatically over its whole speed range. For example, the acid / base pump reduces the speed as the preset pH value is being attained.
LAMBDA acid pump and/or base pump can be used together with, for example: Mettler pH probe and its controller to maintain the pH constant (pH-stat). The LAMBDA acid and base pumps can be controlled by the pH-stat via analog remote control signal.
Additional information about analog remote control of LAMBDA dosing pumps could be found at _URL_
In USP laboratory (upstream processing), the peristaltic pump are directly connected to the bioreactor. The laboratory fermenter regulates the pH automatically with the help of base and / or acid pump.
For automatic pH control by LAMBDA PRECIFLOW pump, the pumps are simply plugged to the bioreactor MINIFOR. The software for pH-stat and pH probe is included in the MINIFOR basic start-up kit.
LAMBDA acid and base dosing pumps can be controlled as a peripheral device by other third-party laboratory bioreactors or fermenters digitally from computer via RS-interface (e.g. using LABVIEW).
The acid and base pumps has to be equipped with RS-485 or RS-232 interface for the digital remote control from the PC software.
An overview of LAMBDA dosing and peristaltic pump could be found at _URL_
Please contact us at _EMAIL_ if you have questions, need quotation or price of the acid and base pumps.
Keywords: pH control; pH control using dosing pumps; pH-stat; pH pump control system; pH control using PID controller; acid pump; base pump; peristaltic dosing pump; pH control using LABVIEW;
Scientific laboratory technicians, researchers, students and scientists all over the world trust LAMBDA laboratory instruments for their efficient experimental work: LAMBDA laboratory equipment are specially designed for high-quality lab work, easy and long term use in the laboratories and industries.

Manage sensor string growth
You can mitigate the impact that question results have on Tanium Server memory and disk usage by setting age limits on the answer strings that the server stores for individual sensors.
To configure sensors so that they generate fewer unique strings and therefore consume less memory and disk space, see the KB article: Best practices for writing sensors.
The Tanium Server stores strings in the <Tanium_Server>/strings folder and loads the strings into memory (the string cache) when it uses them. To prevent string growth from consuming too much space, the server clears a portion of the strings for all sensors when the total strings exceed a default threshold. However, the default string-cleaning settings do not distinguish among sensors in terms of how likely they are to generate strings that are unique and that are used only once. This matters because unique strings consume more space and clearing single-use strings has less impact on server processing and traffic (the Tanium Server does not have to reissue questions to regenerate the strings for future use). For example, the Detect Primary Alerts sensor often generates many unique, single-use strings. To account for these factors, Tanium Server 7.3._PHONE_ or later enables you to use the Tanium Console to configure string cleaning for individual sensors based on a Maximum String Age. The server bases string ages on when it last used the strings or received them from Tanium Clients and discards strings that exceed the maximum.
The following procedure describes how to determine which sensors are producing the most string growth and to set the Maximum String Age for those sensors. For most sensors that require a limit, use the default maximum of seven days as a best practice. Setting a lower maximum is required only in rare cases, such as for sensors that produce results containing date or time stamps. The best practice is to avoid including date and time stamps in string results when writing a sensor, because they tend to result in unusually large string growth. However, if such sensors are necessary, you can set the maximum as low as one day for sensors that use date stamps and as low as six hours for sensors that use time stamps. Consult a Tanium Technical Account Manager (TAM) if you are considering setting the Maximum String Age to lower than six hours; only exceptional cases require such limits.
Before you begin
Install the Tanium™ Health Check module if it is not already installed. For details, see Tanium Health Check User Guide: Installing Health Check.
Configure string cleaning based on string age
 1. Access the Tanium Console and go to Tanium Services > Health Check.
 2. Under Manual Report Generation, click Run TPAN Report Now.
 3. Under Reports click the HTML link for the Full Report that you just ran.
 4. At the top of the report, select Environmental Details > String Details.
 5. Review the grids that list the top sensors by string count and memory usage to determine which sensors produce the most string growth.
 6. TPAN string details
 7. Return to the Tanium Console and go to Content > Sensors. Perform the remaining steps for each sensor that you determine requires a string age limit.
 8. Select the sensor and click Edit.
 9. Enable and set the Max String Age.
 For almost all sensors, setting the Max String Age will reduce string growth to a manageable level and setting the Max Strings (string count limit) is unnecessary. In extreme cases that might require a string count limit for individual sensors, consult your TAM before setting the Max Strings.
 10. Save your changes.
 11. Over the next two days, repeat the steps to run a TPAN report and verify that string counts and memory usage are reduced as expected for the sensors that have string limits. If necessary, set a lower Max String Age for sensors that still produce too much string growth.

An investigation on the feasibility of sputtering a diamond block into a specially designed three-dimensional cutting tool shape using a focused ion beam (FIB) was carried out. The ion-sputtered removal rate, surface morphology and sputtered feature accuracy were evaluated with respect to the FIB parameters such as ion current and angle of ion incidence through sputtering pockets on the top surface of a diamond substrate. A single crystalline diamond tool, with 25 νm length in the cutting edge and smooth face quality, has been successfully fabricated by using a FIB. These excellent tool characteristics are proven in the results obtained from the machining experiments done on the ultra-precision machine.

Abstract. Early detection of potential health threats is crucial for taking actions in time. It is unclear in which information source an event is reported first and, information from various sources can be complementing. Thus, it is important to search for information in a very broad range of sources. Furthermore, real-time processing is necessary to deal with the huge amounts of incoming data in time. Event-driven architectures are designed to address such challenges. This will be shown in this paper by presenting the architecture of a public health surveillance system that follows this style. Starting from concrete user requirements and scenarios, we introduce the architecture with its components for content collection, data analysis and integration. The system will allow for the monitoring of events in real-time as well as retrospectively.
