Mega Millions Number Generator
If you'd rather not pick your own Mega Millions numbers, our number generator is here to help. It will randomly select five main numbers from a pool of 1 to 70, and one Mega Ball number between 1 and 25 – just like when you buy a Quick Pick or Easy Pick in-store. Select the 'Generate' button to get your numbers.
You can use the number generator as many times as you want; if you aren't satisfied with the numbers initially given, you can generate new sets until you find a combination you like.
You can also use a system entry to play Mega Millions. To play a system, you choose six or more numbers and then every valid combination of those numbers is entered as a separate line. The biggest advantage of systems is that if you win, you are likely to win on multiple lines at once, significantly increasing the prize money you get back.
Pick six or more numbers and at least one Mega Ball from the grid below and then hit the 'View' button. You will be shown all the possible combinations of those numbers – all that's left then is to enter them in an upcoming draw.

One method would be to subtract year from year and classify the resultant raster as a delta temp map (values around 0 being no change, larger changes being classified with warmer or cooler temperatures). Alternatively, find the mean value of the dataset: raster1+raster2+raster3...raster(n) / n. Reclassify each as to a function of being above/below mean.

Exploring the Benefits of DOT Oral Fluid Testing: A Comprehensive Guide
In the endeavor to maintain road safety, the Department of Transportation (DOT) is fully committed. A vital instrument in their safety arsenal is the DOT oral fluid testing. This might seem a bit complex, but don't worry – we're here to simplify it for you.
In this detailed guide, we're going to delve into the nuances of DOT oral fluid testing. We'll cover what it entails, its significance, its functioning, and the numerous advantages it offers. So, fasten your seat belts (no pun spared), and let's delve deep into this critical subject!
To kick things off, let's define DOT oral fluid testing. Essentially, it's a procedure adopted by the Department of Transportation to screen individuals for the presence of drugs and alcohol in their system. Here's the catch – instead of using conventional urine or blood samples, this technique utilizes oral fluid, essentially another word for saliva.
Now that we know what it is, you might wonder why DOT relies on oral fluid testing. Here are a few reasons that shed light on its importance:
Accuracy: Oral fluid testing offers highly accurate results, making it an effective tool for detecting recent drug and alcohol use.
Non-Invasive: Unlike blood tests, which involve needles, or urine tests, which require collection cups, oral fluid testing is non-invasive and much more comfortable for the individuals being tested.
Immediate Results: Results are available almost instantly, which means quicker decision-making regarding a person's fitness for duty.
Deterrence: The knowledge that oral fluid testing is in place can deter employees from engaging in drug and alcohol use in the first place, promoting safer working environments.
Now that we've covered the basics, let's take a closer look at how DOT oral fluid testing actually works.
Now that we have a good grasp of what DOT oral fluid testing is and how it works, let's explore the numerous benefits it brings to the table:
Enhanced Safety on the Road
The primary goal of DOT oral fluid testing is to enhance safety on the road. By promptly identifying individuals who may be impaired by drugs or alcohol, it helps reduce the risk of accidents and promotes safer transportation for everyone.
In the world of transportation, time is of the essence. Oral fluid testing provides immediate results, allowing employers to make quick decisions regarding an employee's fitness for duty. This can be crucial in preventing potentially dangerous situations.
Gone are the days of uncomfortable and invasive testing methods. Oral fluid testing is a painless process that respects the dignity and comfort of individuals being tested. This can lead to greater cooperation and willingness to comply with testing requirements.
Detects Recent Use
Oral fluid testing is particularly effective at detecting recent drug and alcohol use. This makes it a valuable tool for identifying impairment that may not be apparent through other testing methods.
Accuracy is paramount when it comes to drug and alcohol testing. Oral fluid testing is known for its high degree of accuracy, reducing the chances of false positives or negatives.
DOT oral fluid testing is designed to meet legal requirements and regulations. Employers who implement this testing method can have confidence in their compliance with DOT guidelines, reducing legal risks.
Implementing DOT oral fluid testing is a straightforward process. Employers can easily integrate it into their existing drug and alcohol testing programs, minimizing disruptions to their operations.
DOT oral fluid testing doesn't just benefit employers; it has a positive impact on various stakeholders in the transportation industry:
Employers benefit from improved workplace safety, reduced risk of accidents, and a more efficient testing process. It also helps them maintain compliance with DOT regulations.
Employees benefit from a safer work environment and the knowledge that their colleagues are fit for duty. The non-invasive nature of oral fluid testing also respects their privacy and comfort.
3. The Public
The general public benefits from safer roads and transportation systems. DOT oral fluid testing contributes to reducing the risk of accidents caused by impaired individuals operating vehicles.
4. Regulatory Authorities
Regulatory authorities can more effectively enforce safety regulations and standards with the support of accurate and efficient drug and alcohol testing methods like oral fluid testing.
5. Insurance Providers
Reduced accidents and safer transportation systems can lead to lower insurance costs for both employers and individuals.
DOT oral fluid testing is a valuable tool for promoting safety in the transportation industry. The benefits are there for all to see!

MOVER - multiphase areal flow with vacuum enhanced recovery model
MOVER Categories: flow models - saturated zone, flow models - unsaturated zone, fractured systems models, multiphase flow and transport, vapor transport
MOVER is an areal three-phase (water, oil and gas) finite-element model. Currently, the most advanced model of its kind, MOVER can be used to model flow of water, oil and gas, and optimize the recovery of LNAPL and water by minimizing NAPL entrapment in the saturated/unsaturated zones. A submodel of MOVER can be used to simulate coupled flow of water and LNAPL with a static atmospheric gas phase. MOVER simulates heterogeneous, anisotropic porous media or fractured media. It allows use of isoparametric elements to accurately represent material and physical/hydraulic boundaries. MOVER can be used to design NAPL recovery and hydraulic containment systems under complex hydrogeological conditions.

Allele frequency analysis of Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) populations using fluorescent simple sequence repeats (SSR) analysis
The aim of this study was to establish a method for allele frequency detection in bulk samples. The abundance of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products in bulk leaf samples was detected using fluorescent labeled Simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers and an Applied biosystems (AB) automatic DNA analyzer. Compared with the conventional SSR technique based on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and silver staining, fluorescent SSR was much more sensitive. A total of 78 alleles, an average of 4.6 alleles per locus, were detected among 17 chestnut populations with the primer CmTCR10 (NED) and a total of 41 alleles, an average of 2.4 alleles per locus, were detected with the primer CmTCR24 (6-FAM). Multiplexing the PCR reaction by combining the primer pairs of CmTCR10 and CmTCR24, using different fluorescent dyes for different primers, showed that the alleles could be discriminated and the sizes of the amplified segments were similar. Furthermore, the exact sizes of the amplified fragments and the abundance of the PCR products were determined by fluorescent SSR. After data analysis with GeneScan software and allele calling and output with Genotyper software, allele frequencies were calculated for equal pooled samples in each population using the FREQS-R module in the R statistical computing language. The results indicate that it is feasible to determine allele frequencies in bulked samples based on the detection of SSR-PCR products. The advantages and additional applications of this method are also discussed. The abundance of the PCR products can be used to determine the allele frequencies in bulk samples of chestnut populations.
Keywords: Fluorescent simple sequence repeats (SSR), chestnut population, bulk sampling, allele frequencies


Thixotropic Index (TI)
Definition - What does Thixotropic Index (TI) mean?
This is a ratio between the slow speed viscosity to the high speed viscosity of a non-Newtonian body. It is obtained from dividing the viscosity number at low speed by the viscosity number at high speed of a given fluid. It therefore defines how well the fluid will hang or resist sagging under gravity.
It is used to indicate the ability of a paint or coating to hold shape-stiff and non-sagging when rebuilding; aids in choosing an epoxy in accordance to the application, dispense method and viscosity of a material.
Corrosionpedia explains Thixotropic Index (TI)
Non-Newtonian fluids are known to have a low viscosity when stirred at high speed and high viscosity at low speeds. In these fluids, the energy required to move then is not directly equal to the speed applied. At rest, the fluid will not flow, but when subjected to shear or pressure, it flows easily as the agitation increase. A fluid is thixotropic when the apparent viscosity is recovered when the shearing is removed; the recovery is time-dependent—viscosity decreases gradually with time.
The thixotropic index is obtained by measuring the viscosity of a fluid at room or ambient temperature. The viscometer is used to measure the viscosity at two speeds (one is a multiple or a factor of 10 of the other). From the viscosity results, the product is obtained by dividing the viscosity at lowest speed by the viscosity at the highest speed.

This study investigates the relationship between regional precipitation and large-scale climate variations. The Waikato is an economically important region of New Zealand that is dependant on a reliable source of precipitation for agriculture and hydroelectric power generation, but is also prone to flooding. Previous long-term precipitation studies have represented this region by a single rain gauge. This study has incorporated more data from more rain gauges and extended the analysis period to 107 years, 1900–2007.
The meteorological causes of extreme precipitation events within the region were examined. This identified that heavy precipitation is associated with periods of increased baroclinicity that produces a rapid sequence of mid-latitude cyclones or the presence of a blocking high to the east of New Zealand.
A regionally representative time series was used to compare known climate variations to the occurrence and magnitude of extreme precipitation events. Since 1900 there have been no significant variations in the total annual precipitation nor in the occurrence or magnitude of extreme precipitation events, indicating that the precipitation resource in this region is dependable. Events were also uncorrelated to the large-scale Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation, El Niño–Southern Oscillation and Southern Annular Mode indicating that the seasonal probability of extreme precipitation is independent of these circulations.

Orange water is slightly acidic water, so use it to water flowers that like acidity, such as jasmine, gardenia, azalea, green radish, cherry blossom, tea plum, Milan and so on.After watering, it can improve the acidity of the soil and promote the vigorous growth of plants.In addition, it can remove the odor of flowerpots and supplement the nutrients needed for plant growth.
Watering with orange peel should pay attention to the method, the correct method can play a role, otherwise it will hinder the growth, easy to appear poor growth phenomenon.When using, you can soak the orange peel in clean water for about 24 hours.After soaking, the water can not be directly irrigated, it should be diluted with 20 times of clean water first, and then irrigated on the soil surface.Or you can also use diluted orange water to wipe the leaves, which can make the leaves more green, as well as the role of insect repellent, the plant will grow more vigorously.
There are many advantages to watering flowers with orange water, but you should also pay attention to the frequency of watering. You should not water them as if they were clean water, nor should you replace watering. No matter what kind of plants you water, it is the same. Too much frequency and too much acidity will also hinder the growth of plants.Usually ten days and a half months of watering once on the line, or even the frequency of watering can be longer.

Cyrano De Bergerac Vs. Roxane Cyrano de Bergerac, the Play vs. Roxane, the Movie In an effort to attract the audience of today, the producers of the movie Roxane retold the play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rustond in a way that is appropriate and at the same time appealing. In order to give the audience of today a story that they can understand and relate to, the producers have adjusted and manipulated the play itself. As a result, several similarities and differences exist between the play Cyrano de Bergerac and its movie reproduction. The characteristics of a romantic hero in Rustonds time is not equivalent to the characteristics of a romantic hero today. In the play for example, Cyrano,...

Hero Worshiping When asked to conjure up descriptions of a hero or heroism, many people would imagine similar scenes. The firefighters pulling a family from a burning building, a soldier saving his platoon from certain death, rescue workers pulling a stranded mountain climber from a precarious ledge, and the Knights of the Round Table saving a damsel in distress, are all examples of the "common" hero. Many people display heroism in everyday life but are rarely recognized either by their peers or by the media. Heroism can be traced back in time as early as mythology has been present. People of that era felt a need to worship super-beings who could solve their problems. Current examples reflec...

Miller's Tale Courtly Love in Chaucer and Marie de France In his The Miller's Tale Chaucer presents a side of the courtly love tradition never seen before. His characters are average middle class workers rather than elite nobility. There is an interesting comparison between the Miller's characters and those in two of Marie de France's lais that share very close plot lines. Instead of being idealized Chaucer's characters are gritty. Instead of being involved in courtly love there is some evidence that the relationship between Alison and Nicholas is one of lust. Chaucer's use of the lower class makes the absurdity of what they are doing stand out. In the lais of Marie de France, Guigemare and...

Institute Welcomes Peter Gourevitch
Peter Gourevitch, Professor of Political Science at the University of California San Diego, visited the Institute Thursday to meet with students before giving a campus wide talk on the implications of the current economic crisis. Gourevitch is a specialist in political economy with a particular focus on international trade and economic globalization, trade disputes, regulatory systems, and corporate governance.
In his campus wide talk, Gourevitch gave his answer to the question: How does the current global crisis in the economy resemble earlier economic shocks, and what can we learn from those other episodes about issues that face U.S. and world policy makers? To Gourevitch, several themes appear striking: the interaction of "private bonding" arrangements and government regulation in shaping the trust that underlies economic life; the pattern of cycles vs. sequences in explaining how countries converge or diverge in what they do; the relationship between economic shock and political choices; the autonomy of the state; the role of ideology in shaping economic policy outcomes; the interaction of globalization and domestic politics.

Objectives: Human laryngeal allotransplantation has long been contemplated as a surgical option following laryngectomy, but there is a paucity of information regarding the indications, surgical procedure, and patient outcomes. Our objectives were to identify all human laryngeal allotransplants that have been undertaken and reported in the English literature and to evaluate the success of the procedure. Data Sources: MEDLINE, Embase, Current Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science and Scopus, and the Gray literature. Review Methods: A comprehensive search strategy was undertaken across multiple databases. Inclusion criteria were case reports of patients who had undergone human laryngeal allotransplantation. Information regarding indications, operative techniques, complications, graft viability, and functional outcomes were extracted. Results: A total of 5,961 articles, following removal of duplicates, matched the search criteria and were screened, with five case reports relating to two patients, ultimately fulfilling the entry criteria. Conclusions: Two laryngeal transplants have been reported in the medical literature. Although both patients report improved quality of life relating to their ability to communicate with voice, further research is necessary to shape our understanding of this complicated operation, its indications, and its functional outcomes.

Starting with Windows XP, run-down protection is available to kernel-mode drivers. Drivers can use run-down protection to safely access objects in shared system memory that are created and deleted by another kernel-mode driver.
An object is said to be run down if all outstanding accesses of the object are finished and no new requests to access the object will be granted. For example, a shared object might need to be run down so that it can be deleted and replaced with a new object.
The driver that owns the shared object can enable other drivers to acquire and release run-down protection on the object. When run-down protection is in effect, a driver other than the owner can access the object without risk that the owner will delete the object before the access completes. Before the access starts, the accessing driver requests run-down protection on the object. For a long-lived object, this request is nearly always granted. After the access finishes, the accessing driver releases its previously acquired run-down protection on the object.
To start sharing an object, the driver that owns the object calls the ExInitializeRundownProtection routine to initialize run-down protection on the object. After this call, other drivers that access the object can acquire and release run-down protection on the object.
A driver that accesses the shared object calls the ExAcquireRundownProtection routine to request run-down protection on the object. After the access is finished, this driver calls the ExReleaseRundownProtection routine to release run-down protection on the object.
If the owning driver determines that the shared object must be deleted, this driver waits to delete the object until all outstanding accesses of the object are finished.
In preparation to delete the shared object, the owning driver calls the ExWaitForRundownProtectionRelease routine to wait for the object to run down. During this call, ExWaitForRundownProtectionRelease waits for all previously granted instances of run-down protection on the object to be released, but prevents new requests for run-down protection on the object from being granted. After the last protected access finishes and all instances of run-down protection are released, ExWaitForRundownProtectionRelease returns, and the owning driver can safely delete the object.
ExWaitForRundownProtectionRelease blocks the execution of the calling driver thread until all drivers that hold run-down protection on the shared object release this protection. To prevent ExWaitForRundownProtectionRelease from blocking execution for excessively long periods, drivers threads that access the shared object should avoid being suspended while they hold run-down protection on the object. For this reason, accessing drivers should call ExAcquireRundownProtection and ExReleaseRundownProtection within a critical region or guarded region, or while running at IRQL = APC_LEVEL.
Run-down protection is particularly useful for providing access to a shared object that is nearly always available but might occasionally need to be deleted and replaced. Drivers that access data or that call routines in this object must not try to access the object after it is deleted. Otherwise, these invalid accesses might cause unpredictable behavior, data corruption, or even system failure.
For example, an antivirus driver typically stays loaded in memory when the operating system is running. Occasionally, this driver might need to be unloaded and replaced with an updated release of the driver. Other drivers send I/O requests to the antivirus driver to access the data and routines in this driver. Before sending an I/O request, a kernel component, such as a file system filter manager, can acquire run-down protection to guard against premature unloading of the antivirus driver while it handles the I/O request. After the I/O request completes, run-down protection can be released.
Run-down protection does not serialize accesses to a shared object. If two or more accessing drivers can simultaneously hold run-down protection on an object, and accesses to the object must be serialized, some other mechanism, such as a mutual-exclusion lock, must be used to serialize the accesses.
An EX_RUNDOWN_REF structure tracks the status of run-down protection on a shared object. This structure is opaque to drivers. The system-supplied run-down protection routines use this structure to count the number of instances of run-down protection that are currently in effect on the object. These routines also use this structure to track whether the object is run down or is in the process of being run down.
To start sharing an object, the driver that owns the object calls ExInitializeRundownProtection to initialize the EX_RUNDOWN_REF structure associated with the object. After initialization, the owning driver can make this structure available to other drivers that require access to the object. The accessing drivers pass this structure as a parameter to the ExAcquireRundownProtection and ExReleaseRundownProtection calls that acquire and release run-down protection on the object. The owning driver passes this structure as a parameter to the ExWaitForRundownProtectionRelease call that waits for the object to run down so that it can be safely deleted.
Run-down protection is one of several ways to guarantee safe access to a shared object. Another approach is to use a mutual-exclusion software lock. If a driver requires access to an object that is currently locked by another driver, the first driver must wait for the second driver to release the lock. However, acquiring and releasing locks can become a performance bottleneck, and locks can consume large amounts of memory. If used incorrectly, locks might cause drivers that compete for the same shared objects to become deadlocked. Efforts to detect and avoid deadlocks typically require the diversion of substantial computing resources.
In contrast to locks, run-down protection has relatively lightweight processing time and memory requirements. A simple reference count is associated with the object to ensure that deletion of the object is deferred until all outstanding accesses of the object are completed. With this approach, atomic, interlocked hardware instructions can be used instead of mutual-exclusion software locks to guarantee safe access to an object. Calls to acquire and release run-down protection are typically very fast. The benefits of using a lightweight mechanism, such as run-down protection, can be significant for a shared object that has a long life and is shared among many drivers.
Several other run-down protection routines are available, in addition to those that were mentioned previously. These additional routines might used by some drivers.
The ExRundownCompleted routine updates the EX_RUNDOWN_REF structure to indicate that the run down of the associated object has completed.
The ExAcquireRundownProtectionEx and ExReleaseRundownProtectionEx routines are similar to ExAcquireRundownProtection and ExReleaseRundownProtection. These four routines increment or decrement the count of the instances of run-down protection that are in effect on a shared object. Whereas ExAcquireRundownProtection and ExReleaseRundownProtection increment and decrement this count by one, ExAcquireRundownProtectionEx and ExReleaseRundownProtectionEx increment and decrement the count by arbitrary amounts.

Get Rid of Sallow Skin Doing 6 Things A Day
Sallow Skin
Your skin says everything about your health, lifestyle, and even meal intake. Would you wonder if we tell whatever you do simply affects your face in any way, positive or negative?
It's a fact! In the case of meager hygiene conditions, elevated stress, bad lifestyle, and poor diet, your body outcries so that you get back to change it.
This is when your skin shows signs, and a Sallow Skin tone appears on your epidermis
What Is Sallow Skin?
Sallow skin pictures
Sallow skin is not an undertone or even a natural tone but a skin condition in which your skin appears different from its original complexion.
Sallow Complexion / Tone:
Sallow Skin Tone pictures

You may not notice the signs of sallow complexion at the start, but with time, you will find your face is losing its freshness, natural glow and looks tired and even saggy all the time.
Also, when sallow skin condition hits, the layer on the outermost part of your face appears brown or yellow.
 1. Sallow skin appears Brown or Tan in olive skin tone. Learn all about what is olive skin tone in the defined guide.
 2. Sallow skin appears Pale or Yellow on fair and pink skin tones. The veins on your arm can identify your skin tone.
How To Know If You Have Sallow Skin?
Here are some ways by using which you can identify if you have sallow skin.
1. Check Your Face In The Mirror:
what does sallow skin mean
To recognize if there is sallowness in your skin, you need a mirror and proper light.
Check if,
 1. Your skin looks dull, tired, and swollen
 2. Your skin has tan or yellow blemishes
 3. Your skin tone is different from its natural tone
 4. Your skin is two-toned
If any or all of these four conditions, you may have skin sallowness.
Remember: Sallow skin doesn't mean acne or scars appearing on your face. It simply means your skin has lost its naturalness.
2. Match Your Skin with the following images:

Here are some pictures, taken from authentic sources, like doctors and patients, to let you identify the appearance of sallow skin:
These pictures show the brownish or yellowish tones and swelling that appeared on the faces of the people suffering from sallow skin conditions.
We're providing it aiming to help you identify properly how does sallow skin look like:
Remember: On the internet, you can find plenty of pictures targeting what does sallow skin looks like. However, not all of these pictures are authentic or true. So don't trust every picture you see to feel tensed about your skin.
3. Get Examined By An Expert: (Optional):
Sallow Skin Professional Treatment
You may skip this point if you have confirmed your skin tone. However, if you have a hard time understanding if your skin is sallow or aged, go to a dermatologist.
They will apply some tests, ask you some questions and give you a proper answer about your skin condition.
Remember: You should be persistent and check your skin for any changes on a regular basis to hack the issues at the start. If you can afford, monthly checkups can help a lot.
Once you are confirmed, conditions appearing on your skin relates to sallowness, you will have to move to the next thing to do, to help retreat your sallow skin.
Why Your Skin is getting yellow, tan, or losing its natural complexion?
Here are some causes explained:
Before you go into deep discussion, remember; You may have to change the way you live your life. It would help if you transformed your diet, your sleeping routine, and your overall routine schedule.
Why? Let's read a little more to know the answers.
Sallow Skin Causes and Triggers:
1. Hiding Sallow Skin with Makeup:

Image Sources pinterest
If there are blemishes on your skin and you try to hide them from makeup, it is a good thing for a limited period; however, it is not an option for the long run.
When you hide sallow skin with makeup, you get used to living with the condition. This thing damages your skin, even more when time passes.
How to heal Sallow skin Permanently?
For this;
Hide your flaws through makeup outdoors, and after coming home, follow a good skincare routine. Such as:
 1. Cleanse skin with a good cleanser regularly
 2. Use toner
 3. Exfoliate with facial cleaners on a regular basis
 4. And always choose makeup without irritant-additives.
2. Poor Lifestyle Habits:
How to choose makeup for sallow skin
Though, from the past some years, skin awareness has increased. However, still, there's a lot more to do. Two types of lifestyle habits affect the skin and its health.
 - Use of cheap products:
When instead of buying good skincare products, people try to find cheap solutions for whitening and skin clearance, then the skin starts looking fine for a limited time.
But in the long run, the skin's outermost layer, we call dermis, gets damaged. Such creams and makeup products never let the skin breathe. Hence, it starts getting dry, dull, and tired.
 - Use of wrong products:
On the other hand, when instead of using products made for your skin type solely, people buy things without understanding the need of the time. Such as, instead of choosing a toner, they get just a cleanser.
How to Choose Makeup for Sallow Skin?
For this,
 1. Try to buy makeup, less but from good companies, especially foundations.
 2. Try to buy products according to your skin and do not skip using them.
 3. If going through a severe Sallow Skin condition, instead of hiding it with makeup, go for permanent solutions.
 4. Always clean makeup before you go to sleep to let your skin breathe during the night and keep from issues like dull, sallow skin and tired eyes due to allergic shiners.
3. Dehydration:
Sallow skin examples
Image Sources pinterest
Believe it or not, none of us completes our water intake. We drink water only when our throat feels dry or thirsty. But what if our skin is thirsty?
Long hours sitting in offices and at work don't let us feel thirsty more often because we are spending our day without moving our bodies.
Hence, our daily water consumption becomes lower and lower, and we remain unable to drink the recommended 8 glasses of fresh water every day.
When we don't feel like drinking water, our skin starts showing signs that it is thirsty, that we call, in other words, dehydrated.
As a result, this continuous dehydration becomes a cause of Sallow Skin.
How to Keep Skin From Dehydration?
 1. Drink eight glass of freshwater a day
Smoothies, juices, and flavored drinks don't serve your body as water does. However, quartz crystals can enhance the purity of water to influence your skin better. So, let your skin heal with natural quartz water.
 1. Decrease liquid consumption for caffeinated, carbonated, or alcoholic beverages and move to drinking healthy drinks.
 2. Splash water on your face thrice a day, and don't forget to put a good moisturizer afterward.
 3. Exfoliate your skin routinely at home.
 4. At night, let your skin breathe, so instead of applying creams and lotions that will block your skin's breathing pores, try to spray water from time to time before you sleep to keep it hydrated.
Remember, hydrating your skin doesn't just associate with water intake but also its consumption directly on the skin.
4. Stress and Anxiety:
Sallow skin causes
Stress is the biggest cause of skin problems. Ever heard the quote, "happy girls are prettiest"? It's a fact. If you are stressed about your skin condition, don't be as it will do NOTHING except worsening the issue.
Stress and anxiety come hand in hand, and there can be various causes of stress apart from your skin. Make your mind believe that stressing over an issue is not an option.
Remember, stress doesn't damage you outward, but it damages your inner beauty too. It makes you the most negative person on earth…
So, you will have to find ways of coping with stress for the sake of your inner and outer beauty:
For this:
 1. Try to meditate or do yoga every evening once you are free of all chores
 2. Stop overthinking and keep your brain busy with books and movies
 3. Have a company of good friends who cheer you up in the true sense
 4. Think about good things.
 5. Always revise in your head, YOLO.
Apart from these reasons, there also can be underlying medical conditions behind Sallow skin. In the net lines, we will be discussing those points:
6. Insomnia:
Sallow skin tone
Insomniacs always have a hard time sleeping but have you ever noticed the things this lack of sleep causing on your skin?
Insomnia is a condition in which a person has a hard time sleeping. They keep struggling on their beds for sleeping but take hours to finally fall asleep.
This thing causes swelling in the eyes and puffiness on the face, which becomes a cause of sallow skin in


About CRDS
CRDS is the radical shift Death Studies needs and thereby serves as a source of knowledge for how death practitioners, death care professionals, students and scholars alike can all better understand deathways of people of color and marginalized groups.
Who Are We? We are a collective of Scholars, Funeral Directors, Death Work Practitioners, Activists, and Students of Death Studies who view death work as synonymous with anti-racism work, synonymous with actively dismantling oppression, and as a way to validate cultural and social life among marginalized groups. We are working to achieve the goals of decolonizing death studies in theory and in practice from a variety of angles.
What Is Our Mission? Our mission is to interrogate the field of Death Studies to decolonize and de-center whiteness while calling to radicalize death practices, all in theory and in practice from a variety of angles, i.e. our research, writing, community work, and professional careers.
What Are Our Goals?
 1. To create a Radical Death Canon that can be adapted as a tool by death educators, death scholars, death practitioners, and all those interested in understanding death, dying, and the rituals of care provided from a decolonized perspective.
 2. To increase diversity in death scholarship and conversations–beyond class analysis
 3. Working to analyze how death, mourning, burial, and death investigations have changed over time along the lines of race, class, gender, ability/disability, sexuality
 4. To serve as a resource for a discerned understanding of the end-of-life experience and rituals around death for marginalized people and their communities

Tornado Impacts During The Different Phases Of Weather Patterns For Austin Texas
Taking a look at Austin and within 50miles of the local area we can see the impacts that different phases of weather have on the tornado statistics of the region.
2000 was a La-Nina phase and it was a fairly strong phase, which lead to the 12 tornadoes within 50miles of Austin and also one EF-2 was part of the stats indicating that strong tornadoes are possible during a La-Nina in this region.
2003 was an El-Nino phase and it did suppress the tornado statistics for the year in the Austin area as only 1 tornado was recorded for the year.
2006 was marked as a Neutral phase of the weather cycles, and it also provided a time period for an increase in tornado's as the number jumped back up to 5 for the year within the Austin area. Also during this neutral phase one EF-2 was recorded in the numbers.


.clock.colorTo: are gone.
the line toolbar.clock.pixmap: was added. the three exchanged lines from above can be erased or you can leave them in the style, it doesn't matter they have no use in this case. actually it is logical, because the components's background is no longer rendered. so there's no need for texture options or gradient colors at all.
images for menu.title.pixmap, toolbar.pixmap, toolbar.clock.pixmap, toolbar.workspace.pixmap, toolbar.iconbar.empty.pixmap, toolbar.iconbar.focused.pixmap, toolbar.iconbar.unfocused.pixmap, window.title.focus.pixmap, window.label.focus.pixmap, window.handle.focus.pixmap, window.handle.unfocus.pixmap, window.grip.focus.pixmap and window.grip.unfocus.pixmap appear as high as defined by the corresponding *.height value. those images will be stretched horizontally to the length of the part.
the image size for a button should be a 1:1 ratio with the the height/width = *.height since the image is stretched horizontally and vertically if you define *.height bigger than the button-image is. this sounds confusing the way i explain it, but if you try it should get clear. you may play around with different image sizes but believe me, it's just a pain in the ass usually.
furthermore another important thing is: in a classic style all buttons are defined through window.button.*. in a pixmap style you CAN make a image for each button and their states (focused, unfocused, pressed). you don't have to but you can. to give an example of the buttons you can style look at this:
window.shade.pixmap: shadefcs.xpm
window.shade.unfocus.pixmap: shadeufcs.xpm
window.shade.pressed.pixmap: shadepr.xpm
window.unshade.pixmap: unshadefcs.xpm
window.unshade.unfocus.pixmap: unshadeufcs.xpm
window.unshade.pressed.pixmap: unshadepr.xpm
window.menuicon.pixmap: menuiconfcs.xpm
window.menuicon.unfocus.pixmap: menuiconufcs.xpm
window.menuicon.pressed.pixmap: menuiconpr.xpm
window.close.pixmap: closefcs.xpm
window.close.unfocus.pixmap: closeufcs.xpm
window.close.pressed.pixmap: closepr.xpm
window.iconify.pixmap: minfcs.xpm
window.iconify.unfocus.pixmap: minufcs.xpm
window.iconify.pressed.pixmap: minpr.xpm
window.maximize.pixmap: maxfcs.xpm
window.maximize.unfocus.pixmap: maxufcs.xpm
window.maximize.pressed.pixmap: maxpr.xpm
window.stick.pixmap: stickufcs.xpm
window.stick.unfocus.pixmap: stickufcs.xpm
window.stick.pressed.pixmap: stickpr.xpm
window.stuck.pixmap: stuckfcs.xpm
window.stuck.unfocus.pixmap: stuckufcs.xpm
window.stuck.pressed.pixmap: stuckufcs.xpm
the syntax differs a little bit from the other parts, but again it's really simple to understand. look at the little screenshot to get a clue what the buttons are.
window.*.pixmap are the pixmaps you see on a focused window.
window.*.unfocus.pixmap are the pixmaps you see on an unfocused window.
window.*.pressed.pixmap are the images you see when you click the button.
window.stuck.* is the activated state of the stick buttton.
some other things are different from classic styles. the bullet and the selection indicator (the little thing to show what configuration options are enabled or what style is selected) can be images. furthermore those elements can have different states:
menu.submenu.pixmap:
menu.hilite.submenu.pixmap:
menu.selected.pixmap:
menu.hilite.selected.pixmap:
menu.unselected.pixmap:
menu.hilite.unselected.pixmap:
menu.selected.pixmap and menu.unselected.pixmap are selfexplanary i think (they are the selection indicators). the menu.submenu.pixmap entry simply is the well known bullet.
a size of 16x16 for the bullets and selection images seem to be most appropriate. it depents on the fontsize and the menu's bevel how much they will be streched.
the *.hilite.* calls the images that show up when the mouse comes over the line of the menu. you don't have to set them. if nothing is defined, fluxbox will use the images that are shown when not highlighted.

Question
A luxury hotel group purchases a deserted island 3. 5 miles offshore and due south of an endangered bird nesting beach. The nearest power source is on land, 10 miles due east of the bird nesting beach. Surveying for electricity construction costs $250 per mile over the water and $150 per mile on the ground. As a surveyor, the cheapest price (in dollars) for which you can bill the job involves surveying above the water to a point inbetween the nesting beach and the power source, and then from the nesting beach to the power source. Find the least expensive price for which you can bill the job

 Answer:
 T.C ( 1.1007 ) = T.C_min = $2252
 Step-by-step explanation:
 Given:
 – Cost of electricity construction over water C_w = $250 / mile
 – Cost of electricity construction over ground C_w = $150 / mile
 – The distance from hotel island = 3.5 miles
 – The distance from beach to power source = 10 miles
 Find:
 Find the least expensive price for which you can bill the job
 Solution:
 – This problem requires cost optimization. So we need to develop a cost function as follows
 Total Cost = C_w*(distance from island to x) + C_g*( distance from x to power)
 – Now calculate the relevant distances using Pythagoras theorem:
 Distance from island to x = sqrt ( x^2 + 3.5^2 )
 Distance from x to power station = 10 – x
 – Input the distances in the cost function:
 T.C ( x ) = C_w*sqrt ( x^2 + 3.5^2 ) + C_g*(10 – x )
 – Input the relevant rates:
 T.C ( x ) = 250*sqrt ( x^2 + 3.5^2 ) + 150*(10 – x )
 – Simplify:
 T.C ( x ) = 250*sqrt ( x^2 + 12.25 ) + 1500 – 150x
 – Next, we will optimize the cost to minimum. We need the distance x that would give us the minimum cost. To minimize the function, set its derivative with respect to x equals to zero.
 T.C' ( x ) = 500*x*( x^2 + 12.25 )^( -0.5 ) – 150
 – Set the derivative to zero and solve for x:
 sqrt ( x^2 + 12.25 ) = 10x/3
 Squaring both sides:
 9*x^2 + 110.25 = 100*x^2
 Simplify and solve:
 x = sqrt (110.25 / 91) = 1.1007 miles
 – The cost function is minimized at x = 1.1007 miles. We will input this back into our function and evaluate the minimum cost as follows:
 T.C ( 1.1007 ) = 250*sqrt ( 1.1007^2 + 12.25 ) + 1500 – 150*1.1007
 T.C ( 1.1007 ) = T.C_min = $2252

 – So the minimum cost associated with this plan is $2252.

In the Evros Delta, I like to:
Flora
Flora
In Evros Delta 7 basic unities of biotopes can be distinguished. In each one of them a specific type of vegetation corresponds, depending on the interaction of various factors like the type of soil, the microclimate, the presence of fresh or salt water, etc. Starting from the north where the river is divided in two branches and ending to the sea, one can distinguish the following characteristic biotopes
Riverine vegetation
Tamarisks
Wet meadows with Juncus
Submerged vegetation of salt or brackish waters
Lagoon and fresh water vegetation
Halophytic vegetation
Vegetation of sandy islets

Evros Delta is created between two geographical regions with different characteristics. The role of vegetation in the regulation of water resources and the improvement of ground and surface water quality is very important.
The vegetation in Evros Delta is not affected directly by the climate, but mainly by factors that concern the soil (composition, water content, salinity). The type of vegetation in the same as the one in the whole of North Aegean shores. The vegetation in Evros Delta, because of its position, is affected by the type of vegetation of more eastern areas, like the Caspian Sea.
The flora of Evros Delta is known from Babalonas' works (1979, 1981), where 300 species are reported.
Characteristic plant species (list is not available at this time being)

Effects of environmental conditions on failure loads of multi-bolt tension joints in pultruded GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) plate have been quantified by physical testing. A simple bolt layout-two bolts on the tension axis-was selected. joint geometry was defined in terms of the end distance (E), the pitch distance (P), the side distance (S) and the bolt diameter (D). The joints were tested under four sets of environmental conditions: (a) normal (ambient temperature (similar to 20 degrees C) + dry), (b) hot (60 degrees C + dry), (c) wet (ambient temperature + 6.5 weeks in water), and (d) hot-wet (60 degrees C + 6.5 weeks in water). They were also tested with various geometries-that is, three, two and two values of the ratios (E/D), (P/D) and (S/D) respectively. A total of 144 joints were tested. Damage and failure loads together with failure modes were recorded. The effects of environmental conditions and joint geometries on damage and failure loads have been quantified and load reduction (knock-down) factors have been established for each of the environmental conditions.


Network visualization – part 4: 3D networks
In the fourth and final part of my graph visualization series, I'll show how to create 3D network plots. 3D plots are more than just pretty plots – they allow you to rotate, scale, and zoom in and out of the network. These options may help identify interesting interaction patterns. Unfortunately, there are not many 3D network visualization tools (especially not free ones). I'm also not aware of any tools that have a R library.
So how are we going to create a 3D plot from R?
Well, we need to be clever: we will pretend that our graph represents a chemical structure and use Jmol, an open-source 3D viewer for chemical structures, to visualize it. As there is no direct link between R and Jmol, the only way to visualize our network is to create a corresponding Jmol file (.mol2 file) in R and open it in Jmol. This is similar to what we have done for Gephi.
As before, we will use the weighted network of characters' coappearances in Victor Hugo's novel "Les Miserables" (LesMiserables.txt). Unfortunately, the number of molecule (graph) properties that we can load in Jmol directly from .mol2 file is limited, so we will only use one property – node degree – and we will use it to define a node size. Note that various molecule (graph) properties in Jmol can be set through Jmol scripts (see below), but we won't focus on those in this blog.
First, let's load our network and calculate degrees of all nodes:
library("igraph")
rm(list = ls())
##########################################################################
# Read data
dataSet <- read.table("lesmis.txt", header = FALSE, sep = "\t") # Create a graph. Use simplify to ensure that there are no duplicated edges or self loops gD <- simplify(graph.data.frame(dataSet, directed=FALSE)) # Calculate degree for all nodes degAll <- degree(gD, v = V(gD), mode = "all")
Next, we'll calculate the node coordinates using layout function from igraph library:
coord3D <- layout.fruchterman.reingold(gD, dim = 3)
Now, we are ready to make the .mol2 file. We'll call it 3D_lesmis.mol2. We'll use the igraph library functions vcount() and ecount(gD) to compute the number of nodes and edges. For more details about .mol2 file format, see: mol2.pdf
nType <- 1 write.table("@MOLECULE", file = "3D_lesmis.mol2", row.names = FALSE, col.names = FALSE, quote = FALSE)
write.table("Les Miserables", file = "3D_lesmis.mol2", row.names = FALSE, col.names = FALSE, quote = FALSE, append = TRUE)
write.table(data.frame(vcount(gD), ecount(gD), nType), file = "3D_lesmis.mol2", sep = "\t", row.names = FALSE, col.names = FALSE, quote = FALSE, append = TRUE)
write.table("SMALL", file = "3D_lesmis.mol2", row.names = FALSE, col.names = FALSE, quote = FALSE, append = TRUE)
write.table("NO_CHARGES\n", file = "3D_lesmis.mol2", row.names = FALSE, col.names = FALSE, quote = FALSE, append = TRUE)
write.table("@ATOM", file = "3D_lesmis.mol2", row.names = FALSE, col.names = FALSE, quote = FALSE, append = TRUE)
Next, we will add a list of nodes into our 3D_lesmis.mol2 file. Each node is represented by an atom, and the atom type will define the color of the node. We will define nodes as follows: nodes with degree one will be represented as helium atoms (light blue); degree two as sodium atoms (purple); degree 3-5 as oxygen atoms (red); degree 6-10 as gold (yellow); degree 11-15 as phosphorus (orange); degree larger than 15 as chlorine atoms (green). For a full color scheme, see: jscolors. In this step, we will also assign node coordinates to each atom:
isType <- 1 for (i in 1:vcount(gD)) { if (degAll[i] == 1) isIn <- "He" if (degAll[i] == 2) isIn <- "Na" if ((degAll[i] > 2) & (degAll[i] <= 5)) isIn <- "O" if ((degAll[i] > 5) & (degAll[i] <= 10)) isIn <- "Au" if ((degAll[i] > 10) & (degAll[i] <= 15)) isIn <- "P" if (degAll[i] > 15)
isIn <- "Cl" hlpL <- data.frame(i, V(gD)[i]$name, coord3D[i, 1], coord3D[i, 2], coord3D[i, 3], isIn, isType, 0.0 ) write.table(hlpL, file = "3D_lesmis.mol2", sep = "\t", row.names = FALSE, col.names = FALSE, quote = FALSE, append = TRUE) }
Finally, we will add a list of edges in the 3D_lesmis.mol2 file:
write.table("@BOND", file = "3D_lesmis.mol2", row.names = FALSE, col.names = FALSE, quote = FALSE, append = TRUE)
isType <- 1 for (i in 1:ecount(gD)) { hlpL <- data.frame(i, get.edge(gD,i)[1], get.edge(gD,i)[2], isType) write.table(hlpL, file = "3D_lesmis.mol2", sep = "\t", row.names = FALSE, col.names = FALSE, quote = FALSE, append = TRUE) }
Here is the resulting file: 3D_lesmis.mol2. The resulting network is shown in Figure 1A:
Figure 1
Figure 1
By default, the color of the edges are inferred from the color of the nodes. We can change that easily as follows: do a right click anywhere in the network window to open a pop-up menu. Then click on "Color," then "Bonds," and then select the color of choice (I used white). Now all edges are the same color (white), as shown in Figure 1B. I find the edges too thick compared to nodes sizes. To change edge thickness, go to the "Display" menu, select "Bond," and then the type you want (I chose "Wireframe"). As we can see in Figure 1C, our network looks nice. Unsurprisingly (as we used the same layout), it looks similar to the networks we created in Cytoscape and Gephi. However, here we can rotate the network and see the interactions from various angles and detail levels without a need to create multiple network plots. There is one more thing we are missing - node labels. They are a part of the .mol2 file, but are not visible by default. To show labels, go to the "Display" menu, select "Label," and then select "Name." Super easy! The resulting network is shown in the Figure 2A.
Jmol allows us to do additional customizations with Jmol scripts. The scripts are very intuitive and they can be used to define different node (atom) and edge (bond) sizes, edge colors, as well as the node label size. To use Jmol scripts, we need Jmol console. You can find it at "File" menu -> "Console."
When using Jmol scripts, the first thing to do is to select a node (or edge) on which we want to work. When a node/edge is selected, we can define its attributes. For example, to change the size of helium atoms, we use a command select: select _He" (there must be an underscore before the atom symbol). Then, we can define its size with a command spacefill. We can also define the

About 9km from the center of My Tho, Tien Giang, Dong Tam snake farm is known as the snake kingdom of Vietnam, with over 400 species of snakes.
Dong Tam Snake Farm is located on the banks of the Tien River, covering about 30 hectares with a spacious green space. This is one of the largest snake farms in Vietnam and it is considered as the first snake museum in Vietnam, attracting many domestic and foreign tourists to visit, learn and study.
You can see the snakes by your own eyes from the gentle, non-poisonous to the extreme poisonous. Snakes are raised freely, including 3 areas suitable for each species. They also separate areas to rear precious species of snakes, such as the king cobras, burrowing cobras and ringhals, another to grow medicinal plants, a hospital for snakebite treatment, a research department, an animal reserve and a snake museum.
The farm has the tasks of doing scientific research, rearing and conserving precious species of snakes, medicinal plants and animals, producing traditional medicines and providing first aids and treatment for people who are bitten by poisonous snakes in the region. Dong Tam Snake Farm has become a scientific center with great achievements in curing people.
The farm is now under the operation of military, with a big collection of not only snakes but also some animals like: crocodiles, bears, turtles, sheep and ostriches. Some of them are mutant – evidences of the spraying of Agent Orange in the Mekong Delta during war time.


Natural keyboard movement between lists
Applying principles of physicality to pursue a more natural drag and drop experience
Pursing natural movement between lists
Recently at Atlassian we released react-beautiful-dnd: a library that aims to provide a beautiful, natural and accessible drag and drop experience for the web. It allows users to control the entire drag and drop experience using only a keyboard. I have previously written an introductory blog about the library and the thinking behind it.
We have just shipped the the ability to move items between lists. This feature has full keyboard support. In this blog I will go through how we applied principles of physicality to deliver a natural cross list movement experience using only a keyboard.
Index based movement
A simple approach to moving between lists is a system based on the index of the item and its list. To move an item from one list to another we:
 1. Find the list with the next index to the current list
 2. Insert the dragging item into the same index in the destination list
Simple index based movement
This approach works reasonably well if the items are all the same size and the lists have the same start edge on the vertical axis. However, if both of these properties are not true then the index based approach feels strange
Movement feels strange when items are different sizes
We probably would have expected to move to list 2 and not list 1. It is also strange that we are moving above item 6 inside of list 2 rather than below it.
In search of analogies
In the process of building a more natural movement system, a question we kept asking ourselves was:
'if we were to push these objects together where would they end up?'
When considering this question, we wanted to keep in mind that objects prefer to stay and rest unless acted on by an external force (Newton's first law — inertia). Objects are lazy and generally want to take the path of least resistance.
Thinking (really) big
Another principle we wanted to observe was gravity. We treat lists as if they were small solar systems that have there own gravitational pull. Within solar systems (a list) we have planets (items). In order to respect this analogy, lists have the primary pull over the destination of moving item, and once the destination list is calculated then the placement of the items is considered.
And so, we wanted the guiding analogies for cross list movement to be inertia, gravity and collisions.
A sample of the white boarding we did coming up with this system
Breaking down natural movement between lists
In this section I will detail how we calculate natural item movement for an item, step by step. None of the examples will refer to the lists by their index — because their index is not relevant 🎉
Phase 1: find the best list
In this phase our goal is to find the most natural list to move to
Our starting list configuration
1: Filter out anything that is not on the side we want to move to
We are filtering out the list on the left hand side of the current list as we are attempting to move right
2: Filter out lists that are outside of the height of the current list
Removing the list that starts after the source list ends
3: Choose the list that is closest on the horizontal plane
In this case the two lists in the middle have the same distance on the horizontal plane from the moving item.
In the event of a tie:
1 If the centre position of the moving item is contained within the height of one list: then that is the closest list.
In this case the centre point of the dragging item intersects with a list on the horizontal plane.
We cannot merely measure the distance to each of the corners at this point as the closest corner might be a shared edge between two lists.
2 If the centre position of the dragging item is not contained within the height of a list — choose the list with the closest corner.
The top list has the closest corner to the moving item
Side point: Why not compare the distance between the centre positions of the lists and choose the closest?
We originally tried this approach — but it turns out the centre position of a list is not a good measurement of list closeness. For example, the centre position of a big list might be a long way away — even though the list itself it quite close.
Top list is punished for having a big height when using this alternative
Phase 2: find the best spot in the list
Now that we have our destination list, we need to find the best spot in that list for the moving item to move into. Here are the steps we go through to find the best spot:
1: Measure the distance to the centre point of each of the items and choose the one that is closest (choosing the path of least resistance)
Measuring the distance to the centre of each of the items
When measuring the distance between two points on a two dimensional plane we use some coordinate geometry based on Pythagoras theorem. Here is a video where you can learn about measuring the distance between two points if you are interested.
2: In order to decide whether to go above or below the target we pretend the objects have a pointed edge and collide them together. If we do this, which object would be on top?
Sharpen the corner of the items and push them together
A simple way of calculating which item should be on top is to determine whether the source centre position is higher or lower than the target centre position
To calculate this collision we check which centre point is higher
3: If there is a tie, such as when the items are the same height, the item that is moving goes on top. This is designed to give precedence and importance to the item that you are interacting with.
* In the event we are moving to an empty list — we move to the top of the list
Moving to the top of an empty list
An alternative approach
An alternative to the above method is to skip most of the 'find the best list stage' and simply find the destination by measuring the distance to all items. However, this approach can end up in the situation where underpopulated lists are 'skipped' due to their lack of children. This technique gives preference to items rather than lists. This goes against the gravity metaphors we were going for with lists having the primary pull over items.
You can try work around the shortcomings of this approach by inserting fake points at the start and end of lists — but we did not pursue that idea very far.
List is skipped for not having any children
Putting it all together
Here is what using these rules looks like in practice. You are welcome to try them out for yourself on our examples page
The rules in action
Parting words
We are really excited to see these ideas of physicality come to life in react-beautiful-dnd. I would encourage you to check out the repository and to have a play with the examples to see how the movement feels for yourself. If you have suggestions on how we could improve these algorithms please create and issue. If you are interested in what these rules look like in code then you can have a look at it here.
A special thanks to Jared Crowe for his efforts in making this a reality, as well as my other talented colleagues at Atlassian.
Cheers

The query tool is used to create and run Google Analytics AQL queries, and create URLs for Google Earth, Google Maps and Google Charts.
Going beyond the raw GA API
Generic timeframe and comparison
AQL supports generic timeframes such as "Last30Days", making query reuse possible. Two timeframes can also be specified to generate a comparison result set in one step.
Formatting and sorting
AQL syntax includes a format function that allows you to build strings with embedded results for use within PowerPoint or Excel. It also supports sorting and limiting results to a specified number of rows.
Sophisticated filtering
AQL supports filter expressions to limit the data returned, either by metric value thresholds or by dimension member values. AQL passes these filter expressions directly to Google, so AQL will always be up-to-date in this regard.
Compare multiple profiles
When more than one profile is specified in a AQL query, the results are autmoatically correlated and presented in a single result set, making it easy to compare your sites.
Built in calculations
AQL makes it easy to obtain standard results such as metric percentages and dimension counts. Common calculations are also presented as selectable metrics, greatly simplifying the creation of usable statistics.

Verkhnevolzhsky beyshlot - the dam in the headwaters of the Volga River, forming the Upper Volga (Verkhnevolzhsky) Reservoirs, uniting in a common pool of lake Volgo, lake Peno, lake Vselug and lake Sterzh. The dam is located 5 km downstream from the place from which follows the Volga River from the lake Volgo.
The length of the dam is 46 meters, the average water flow of 29 m ³ / sec, the annual fluctuation of the upper level befa up to 3.5 meters, about 0.1 meters lower.
The dam was built in 1843 during the construction of Vyshnevolockij system. The dam was built from wood on stone foundations. With the construction the dam, which was to regulate the flow into the upper reaches of the Volga River, has been improved conditions for navigation in low water due to water releases of water reserves accumulated in the flood.
In 1941 during the Great Patriotic War, the dam was dynamited by the Nazis, in 1943 it was rebuilt in concrete structures. In memory of these events near the dam is a commemorative stele.
The dam operates to this day and is under guard. Passage of the dam, photos and video of the object is prohibited. Entrance to the beyshlotu in cars is prohibited.


3 Essential Guidelines when Giving Feedback to Sales Candidates
Crawford Thomas Recruiting Blog
Contrary to popular belief, the process of sales recruitment does not end at the stage where you give the candidate notice on whether or not they have been hired. On the contrary, expert Dallas recruiters understand the importance of providing constructive feedback to those candidates who have not succeeded in getting the position. The main purpose of this final stage in the recruitment process is to enable the candidate to grow in the sales profession, refine themselves and ultimately land the job that is a perfect fit for them.
Providing helpful feedback is also in the best interest of the recruiter because the relationship between recruiter and candidate is a progressive one. If the candidate remains stagnant, it reflects poorly on the recruiter because it appears as though they have been unsuccessful in placing.
How to Give Constructive Feedback
1. Make it Clear
As a sales recruiter, the feedback that you give to candidates should be easy to understand. Be direct and avoid evasive responses. Being evasive may feel like you have wisely diffused a situation that could have potentially been explosive; but feedback of this kind has no effect on the candidate in whose progress you should be invested.
2. Personalize it
Personalize your feedback to suit individual candidates. In order to do this effectively, first-rate sales recruiters keep comprehensive notes on each candidate throughout the recruitment process. That way, they are able to describe the highs and lows that the candidate had, with the aim of equipping the candidate for change and growth. More than likely, the candidate has received generic feedback from other sales recruiters in the past; which is why they are still stuck.
3. Make it Actionable
Always provide feedback that the sales candidate will be able to act on. By taking conscious steps towards their success, the candidate is able to consistently evolve and improve. This puts them in a better position to be a strong and viable contender for future sales positions. Some steps that the candidate can take as a result of actionable feedback include:
 - Presenting themselves better during the recruitment process. This refers either to personal presentation or the manner in which they present their papers, showcase their skills, etc.
 - Getting additional training to specialize in sales
 - Being authentic in order to integrate more easily into the culture of a new company
 - Keeping up with different trends within the sales industry
Constructive feedback is essential in ensuring that the recruitment process is transparent and well-structured. By integrating this step, the candidate has a better idea of what to expect at the end of the process. Even when he/she does not get hired, they know that the constructive feedback they receive will enable them to develop their careers. Providing helpful feedback also demonstrates to the sales candidate that you are beneficial to them; thus causing them to be more motivated to pursue their career path and to work with you in the long-term.
As a sales candidate, it also helps to request feedback if you are unsuccessful during recruitment. Some Dallas recruiters may be more inclined to give honest and constructive feedback to candidates who seek it out because they recognize that you are invested in your own success.
