- A natural antioxidant that can enhance human immunity against many serious diseases
- Sorbent for purifying water and air from many organic and inorganic compounds
- Support a wide range of trace elements and of biologically active substances intensifying biological processes in humans and animals
- Material, actively interacting with electromagnetic fields of different nature (man-made high-frequency, solar, geopathogenic, biological) and neutralizing their negative impact
Aids in ensuring human health
And what is a Merkaba?
From ancient mysticism the word literally means "a thing to ride in" Ezekiel wrote of it and his vision consists of a chariot made of many heavenly beings driven by the "Likeness of a Man." The base structure of the chariot is composed of four beings. These beings are called the "living creatures". There is quite a bit more to the story but you get the idea.

A methodology for designing pumps to meet multi-objective design criteria is presented. The method combines a 3D inviscid inverse design method with a multi-objective genetic algorithm to design pumps which meet various aerodynamic and geometrical requirements. The parameterization of the blade shape through the blade loading enables 3D optimization with very few design parameters. A generic pump stage is used to demonstrate the proposed methodology. The main design objectives are improving cavitation performance and reducing leading edge sweep. The optimization is performed subject to certain constraints on Euler head, throat area, thickness and meridional shape so that the resulting pump can meet both design and off-design conditions. A Pareto Front is generated for the two objective functions and 3 different configurations on the Pareto front are selected for detailed study by 3D RANS code. The CFD results confirm the main outcomes of the optimization process.

Average Inheritance: How Much Are Retirees Leaving to Heirs?
Average Inheritance in the United States
Different studies suggest different levels of average inheritance.
- According to a 2015 HSBC survey, American retirees expect to leave an average inheritance of almost $177,000 to their heirs.
- The Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), reported that median inheritance was $69,000 (the average was $707,291). For trust funds, that median wealth transfer was way, way higher — $285,000 (and the average was $4,062,918).
- In a new study by United Income, CEO Matt Fellowes looked at how retirees feel and how their spending levels change during retirement and found that:
- The average retired adult who dies in their 60s leaves behind $296K in net wealth
- $313K in their 70s
- $315K in their 80s
- $283K in their 90s
- In the NewRetirement retirement planner, you can set a goal for leaving behind an inheritance. For users who have opted to set a goal above $0 in this detailed tool, the range is wide. The average estate goal is $942,000. The median goal is $500,000. However, many people have just $5,000 as their goal for a financial legacy.
NOTE: It is important to note that while the NewRetirement retirement planner is designed to be easy to use by all types of people, users of the tool tend to be wealthier than average – skewing the average inheritance numbers high.
Don't Feel at All Bad if You Are Leaving Behind Less Than Average
While it appears that the "average" inheritance is between $100,000 and more than $1 million, these numbers can be incredibly misleading.
Because the very rich have so much more money than the middle and lower classes, the average inheritance numbers are incredibly lopsided.
When you break down average inheritance by the economic status of the household, the numbers look very different. According to analysis by Demos:
- The least wealthy group of families have received, on average, $6,100 in inheritance.
- The wealthiest 1 percent of families have received, on average, $2.7 million in inheritance.
A further breakdown of these numbers reveals that: "the wealthiest 1 percent of families have inherited $447 for every $1 the least wealthy group of families has. Those in the middling wealth ranges—$25k–$50k, $50k–$100k, and $100k–$250k—have received inheritances of $14.8k, $22.5k, and $51.4k respectively."
So, the wealthiest in the United States are able to leave behind very large inheritances and this skews the average numbers to be nowhere near average for the majority of retirees.
Leaving an Inheritance vs. Sharing While You Are Still Alive
Besides the vast differences between the very wealthy and the rest of us, there are other reasons why you might not be leaving behind a large inheritance.
Many households share their wealth with younger generations while they are still alive. Parents and grandparents pay for their offspring's education, joint vacations, and even living expenses. Many households also help family members buy houses or cars and pay off debt.
Between 2005 and 2014, the fraction of young adults age 18 to 31 who lived with their parents rose 15%, according to a study by Federal Reserve Board economists. Not only is this rate of change unprecedented, but the percentage of young adults residing with parents has reached a historic high of 36%.
Furthermore, you may also be using your potential estate to fund care for your own parents.
6 Tips for Inheritance and Your Retirement
1. Money is Not Everything
If you cannot afford to leave behind financial wealth (and even if you can), remember that inheritances can come in many different guises – your culture, values, sense of humor, and more.
Sharing your time and interests with your heirs is a meaningful inheritance.
2. Be Realistic and Understand Your Own Finances
In all aspects of life, there is what we want to do and there is what we can do. Leaving behind an inheritance or helping other family members while you are still alive is no exception – make sure you understand what is feasible.
It is very important that you are realistic about what you can afford. Creating and maintaining a detailed retirement plan can help you assess what is possible.
After you set up your account, the NewRetirement retirement planner lets you see exactly what your estate is projected to be. Even better, the system enables you to change any aspect of your plan and immediately see how it impacts your potential estate – as well as your cash flow, out of money age, and much more.
3. Set Goals
The NewRetirement retirement planner lets you set a goal for leaving an estate. You also have goals for funding retirement through your longevity using both optimistic and pessimistic assumptions.
You can update your progress against your goals at any time. Of the people who have set an estate goal with NewRetirement, 89% are currently on track to achieve their goal for leaving a financial legacy.
4. There is a Lot More to End of Life Planning than Leaving an Estate
You may have scrimped and saved so that you can leave something behind for your heirs. However, there is a lot more you need to do to ensure that your end of life and after life wishes are fulfilled.
There are at least four documents that everyone must have. Learn more in Estate Planning 101.
5. Use Caution if You Plan to Receive an Inheritance
Many retirees are hoping to receive an inheritance to help fund their life in retirement. However, as people live longer and health expenses go higher, more and more people are running through their financial resources – even their home equity.
So, if you are planning on an inheritance to fund your own retirement, you may want to assess whether your expectations are realistic or not.
In the NewRetirement retirement planner you can model what your finances look like with or without an anticipated inheritance. It is easy to see the impact of different lump-sum contributions at different periods of time.
6. Manage Expectations with Heirs
Different families and different cultures have varying expectations for inheritance.
However, most studies suggest that heirs would rather that their parents live a comfortable life in retirement over potentially receiving money upon their death.
No matter what might happen in your situation, it is a good idea to discuss various scenarios with your loved ones.

The North Wake Landfill disposed of most of Wake County's household waste for more than 20 years until the site reached capacity and closed in 2008. After disposal operations came to an end, the landfill was turned into Green Hills County Park.
The North Wake Landfill no longer receives waste, is under post-closure maintenance and is open to visitors during park hours.
Hours of Operation
- Open: Daily from 8 a.m. until sunset. Check sign at park entrance for sunset/closing time.
- Closed: Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
In 2004, the North Wake Landfill Citizens Committee was formed as part of the post-closure planning process to seek ideas from local residents as to how the site will be used after the active landfill closed. The committee met monthly for more than a year to assist the County in the development of the North Wake Post Closure Land Use Plan.
When the landfill closed, the first phase of the land use plan started construction and in 2010, the Green Hills County Park opened. The first phase of the land use plan also included the development of an elementary school and an athletic and community recreation complex on the property next to the landfill. The Abbotts Creek Elementary School opened in 2015.
The second phase of the land use plan includes a dog park and an education center to name but a few proposed additions. It is expected these additions will take place as funding becomes available.
Where Is North Wake Landfill?
The landfill is at 9300 Deponie Drive in north Raleigh.
Is the North Wake Landfill open?
No. Garbage has not been buried there since 2008.
What kind of waste was disposed of at the North Wake Landfill during its operation?
The landfill was permitted to accept municipal solid waste, which includes household garbage, waste from businesses and construction debris.
How big is the North Wake Landfill?
The North Wake Landfill sits on approximately 219 acres and includes three separate landfills:
- 70 acre lined municipal Subtitle D solid waste landfill operated from 1996 to 2008;
- 6 acre unlined construction and demolition landfill operated from 2000 to 2003;
- 33 acre unlined municipal solid waste landfill operated from 1986 to 1997;
What measures have been taken to reduce the environmental impact of the unlined landfill at North Wake?
A synthetic cap was installed to reduce the ability of landfill leachate to enter groundwater. Monitoring stations were also installed to detect any groundwater contamination before it could pose a risk to the environment or public health.
Where can I find environmental monitoring reports for North Wake Landfill?

The Oert Spider
Price: $0.99 USD. Words: 55,270. Language: English. Published: August 9, 2012. Categories: Fiction » Science fiction » Apocalyptic
In a world already under stress a new and terrifying peril emerges threatening all life on earth. This unearthly quantum monster, takes the form of a scintillating spider. Not really alive, it kills without remorse or limit. It is left to two young scientists and a brilliant, but almost derelict older physicist to solve the terrible mystery of the Spider and its spawn before the world is lost.


Siebel adapter uses the COM interface to invoke calls on Siebel. For business component query, Siebel supports two ways of retrieving the field values for records. One can either use GetFieldValue to retrieve one field at a time or the other option is to use GetMultipleFieldValues to retrieve values for a bunch of fields in one go. The latter is better from a performance standpoint and is what the adapter uses. The problem with this approach though is that even if one of the fields, whose values are being retrieved, is mis-configured, the entire query call fails.
In development environments, it can happen that some of the customizations have issues, resulting in query failure as described above. The first step towards diagnosing the problem is identification of those problematic fields. The error message doesn't always help identify the fields. When in such situation, one can use the attached Siebel COM sample code to narrow down the fields. You will need to add a reference to sstchca.dll (present in the Siebel install folder, in the bin sub-directory).
Once you have narrowed down the fields, you can either fix the issue with the field or if it's not of interest, mark them as inactive on Siebel backend. You can then query using the Siebel adapter without any issues. Alternately, you can also use the QueryFields (optional) argument passed to the query operation to retrieve only the fields of interest.

Phlebectomy is a minimally-invasive procedure that is used to treat severe cases of venous disease caused by a condition known as venous reflux, in which damaged veins allow blood to flow backward and pool. It involves the physical removal of a diseased vein in the following manner:
- The affected veins are mapped using a marker while the patient is in a standing position.
- The veins to be removed are anesthetized with local anesthesia
- A series of small punctures are made that follow the course of the marked veins.
- A tiny crochet-needle like instrument is inserted into the punctures, through which small segments of the veins are gently removed, one at a time.
As a result of this procedure, blood that had been pooling in the affected vein will re-route its course through healthy veins.


The Best Historic Towns to Visit Throughout Brazil

With Portuguese colonizers arriving in the 1500s bringing with them enslaved Africans, and the indigenous population prevailing before then, in addition to the waves of foreign immigration years after, Brazil is rich in history, to say the least. Take a glimpse back in time by visiting these incredible historic towns in Brazil.
Salvador is the capital of Bahia and one of Brazil's most historically significant towns with a striking mix of colonial architecture from the Portuguese settlers and a deep-rooted Afro-Brazilian culture. Known as a central port for the incoming enslaved Africans in the 16th century, Salvador eventually became strongly influenced by African cuisine, dance, and music, which have enrichened the local history. One of the city's most famous neighborhoods is Pelourinho in the city center, known for its large squares, colorful architecture, and baroque-style churches.

Ribeirão da Ilha
Located on the west coast of Florianopolis in the south of Brazil, Ribeirão da Ilha is a small yet picture-perfect village with a laid-back atmosphere and classic Portuguese colonial architecture. Its historical city center was founded in the mid 18th century and is one of the oldest Azorean colonization settlements. Several of the houses and churches there are recognized for their historical significance and are protected by law.

Located in the north of Brazil in a state called Pernambuco, known for its tropical scenery and consistently high temperatures, Olinda is recognized as one of the best-preserved colonial cities in Brazil. Its historical city center received the UNESCO World Heritage Site title and is full of intriguing art galleries and imperial architecture. It's best known for its traditional Carnival, which is celebrated through hundreds of street parties with African-influenced dance and dozens of different Brazilian genres.

Antonio Prado
In the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul is Antonio Prado, a town built by an Italian community who settled there in the early 19th century. Many of the houses in the town are made from wood complete with criss-cross beams on the facades and fairytale fretwork lining the roof. The local Municipal Museum holds a precious collection of archives and artifacts of the town's history over the past 100 years.

Minas Gerais (a state in Brazil) is packed with historical towns, yet arguably the most historical is Mariana, the first city and capital of the state. It played a key role in the Brazilian Gold Rush and today has the largest gold mine, open to the public, in the world. With miles of cobbled streets, colonial houses, and baroque-style churches, it's one of the most picturesque cities in Minas Gerais.

Porto Seguro
For many tourists, Porto Seguro is a classic beachside holiday destination with flour-white shores, warm turquoise waters, and rows of palm trees lined up along the coastline. Yet the town is remembered for a distinct event in history; it was the first landing spot of the Portuguese colonizers who arrived there in 1500.

Ouro Preto
A town famed for its colonial houses, cobbled streets, and baroque churches, Ouro Preto is one of the best-known and popular cities in Brazil, capturing tourists' hearts with its charming architecture, friendly residents, and wholesome local food. It once played an important part in Brazil's Gold Rush and was also the place where the Inconfidência Mineira happened, an unsuccessful attempt to claim back Brazilian independence from the Portuguese in 1789. At the heart of the revolution was leader Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, otherwise known as 'Tiradentes' who was later captured by the Portuguese authorities, hung, and dismembered for his involvement in the riot.

A small and charming town in the south of Rio de Janeiro state, with a creative and peaceful setting, Paraty is a popular tourist hotspot and artist hub. Once a thriving port for gold exports between Brazil and Portugal, nowadays it's better-known for its Portuguese colonial architect, cachaça distilleries, and surrounding untouched natural attractions.

Suppose you're building a circuit to process scancodes from a PS/2 keyboard for a game. Given the last two bytes of scancodes received, you need to indicate whether one of the arrow keys on the keyboard have been pressed. This involves a fairly simple mapping, which can be implemented as a case statement (or if-elseif) with four cases.
Your circuit has one 16-bit input, and four outputs. Build this circuit that recognizes these four scancodes and asserts the correct output.
To avoid creating latches, all outputs must be assigned a value in all possible conditions (See also always_if2). Simply having a default case is not enough. You must assign a value to all four outputs in all four cases and the default case. This can involve a lot of unnecessary typing. One easy way around this is to assign a "default value" to the outputs before the case statement:
always @(*) begin up = 1'b0; down = 1'b0; left = 1'b0; right = 1'b0; case (scancode) ... // Set to 1 as necessary. endcase end
This style of code ensures the outputs are assigned a value (of 0) in all possible cases unless the case statement overrides the assignment. This also means that a default: case item becomes unnecessary.
Reminder: The logic synthesizer generates a combinational circuit that behaves equivalently to what the code describes. Hardware does not "execute" the lines of code in sequence.

The Painted Bird (Der bemalte Vogel) is a controversial 1965 novel by Jerzy Kosiński which describes the world as seen by a young boy, "considered a Gypsy or Jewish stray," who wanders about small towns scattered around Eastern Europe during World War II.
Major themes
The book describes the wandering boy's encounters with peasants engaged in all forms of sexual and social deviance such as incest, bestiality and rape, and in other forms of extreme violence exciting lust. The book title was drawn from an incident in the story. The boy, while in the company of a professional bird catcher, observes how the man took one of his captured birds and painted it several colors. Then he released the bird to fly in search of a flock of its kin, but when the painted bird came upon the flock, they saw it as an intruder and viciously attacked the bird until it fell from the sky.
The plot
"The Painted Bird," is told from the perspective of a young boy during World War II. He is considered a Jewish stray who is struggling to live during this chaotic period. Kosinski begins the story by introducing the war and linking it with the boy. The young boy's parents are hiding from the Nazis, and he lives in a village with an elderly woman. When the woman dies, he is left to care for himself. From here, he journeys to another village where local townspeople turn him over to the Germans. He escapes and travels to another village, where he sees Jews and Gypsies headed to concentration camps. It is here that Kosinski adds some social commentary, describing the boy's belief that to have fair hair and blue eyes is to be favored by God. Kosinski sums up a Bosch-like world of harrowing excess where senseless violence and untempered hatred are the norm. The boy travels from village to village in Eastern Europe. Throughout the rest of "The Painted Bird," the boy endures various kinds of violence and cruelty. He wanders alone from one village to another, sometimes hounded and tortured, only rarely sheltered and cared for. He becomes an altar boy, and he is exposed to father-daughter incest. After being thrown into a manure pit, he becomes mute. Only at the end of the novel does he become reunited with his parents and regain his speech.
Literary significance & criticism
In his 1995 editorial review Elie Wiesel wrote that the book was: "One of the best... Written with deep sincerity and sensitivity", quoted its publisher from The New York Times Book Review. Richard Kluger, reviewing it for Harper's Magazine, wrote: "Extraordinary... literally staggering... one of the most powerful books I have ever read". And Jonathan Yardley, reviewing it for The Miami Herald, wrote: "Of all the remarkable fiction that emerged from World War II, nothing stands higher than Jerzy Kosinski's The Painted Bird. A magnificent work of art, and a celebration of the individual will. No one who reads it will forget it; no one who reads it will be unmoved by it. The Painted Bird enriches our literature and our lives". "Cynthia Ozick later gushed" – wrote Norman Finkelstein – "that she 'immediately' recognized Kosiński's authenticity as 'a Jewish survivor and witness to the Holocaust'." Time magazine included the novel in its "TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005", accentuating the alleged atrocities perceived by the protagonist.
"Perhaps the most surprising element of this aspect of Kosiński's mystifications is that he obtained from his mother, who was still alive in Poland – the father had died by the time The Painted Bird was published – a letter corroborating the claim that he had been separated from his family during the war."
Norman Finkelstein, former professor of political science at DePaul University, wrote in The Holocaust Industry: "Long after Kosiński was exposed as a consummate literary hoaxer, Wiesel continued to heap encomiums on his "remarkable body of work." Finkelstein wrote that Kosiński's book "depicts the Polish peasants he lived with as virulently anti-Semitic" even though they were fully aware of his Jewishness and "the dire consequences they themselves faced if caught."
The book's reception in Poland was far from uniform nevertheless. The Polish literary critic and University of Warsaw professor, Paweł Dudziak, noted that the Painted Bird is a great, if controversial piece. He stressed that since the book is surreal – a fictional tale – and does not present, or claim to present - real world events, accusations of anti-Polish sentiment are nothing but a misunderstanding of the book by those who take it too literally.
Authorship controversy
According to Eliot Weinberger, contemporary American writer, essayist, editor, and translator, Kosiński was not the author of the book. Weinberger alleged in his collection Karmic Traces that Kosiński had very little fluent knowledge of English at the time of its writing.
M.A. Orthofer addressed Weinberger's assertion by saying: "Kosinski was, in many respects, a fake – possibly near as genuine a one as Weinberger could want. (One aspect of the best fakes is the lingering doubt that, possibly, there is some authenticity behind them – as is the case with Kosinski.) Kosinski famously liked to pretend he was someone he wasn't (as do many of the characters in his books), he occasionally published under a pseudonym, and, apparently, he plagiarized and forged left and right."
Claims of plagiarism
In June 1982, a Village Voice article accused Kosiński of plagiarism, claiming much of his work was derivative of Polish sources unfamiliar to English readers. (Being There, for example, bears a strong resemblance to Kariera Nikodema Dyzmy - The Career of Nicodemus Dyzma, a 1932 Polish bestseller by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz). The article also claimed that Kosiński's books had actually been ghost-written by his "assistant editors," pointing to striking stylistic differences among Kosiński's novels. The New York poet, publisher and translator, George Reavey, who in Kosiński's American biographer James Sloan's opinion was embittered by his own lack of literary success, claimed to have written The Painted Bird. Reavey's assertions were ignored by the press.
The Village Voice article presented a different picture of Kosiński's life during the Holocaust – a view which was later supported by a Polish biographer, Joanna Siedlecka, and Sloan. The article revealed that The Painted Bird, assumed by reviewers to be semi-autobiographical, was a work of fiction. The article maintained that rather than wandering the Polish countryside, Kosiński had spent the war years in hiding with a Polish Catholic family and had never been appreciably mistreated.
"The significant point about Jerzy Kosinski was that... his books... had a vision and a voice consistent with one another and with the man himself. The problem was perhaps that he was a successful, worldly author who played polo, moved in fashionable circles and even appeared as an actor in Warren Beatty's Reds. He seemed to have had an adventurous and rather kinky sexuality which, to many, made him all the more suspect."
D. G. Myers responded to Blacker's assertions in his review of Jerzy Kosiński: A Biography by James Park Sloan:
"This theory explains much: the reckless driving, the abuse of small dogs, the thirst for fame, the fabrication of personal experience, the secretiveness about how he wrote, the denial of his Jewish identity. 'There was a hollow space at the center of Kosiński that had resulted from denying his past,' Sloan writes, 'and his whole life had become a race to fill in that hollow space before it caused him to implode, collapsing inward upon himself like a burnt-out star.' On this theory, Kosiński emerges as a classic borderline personality, frantically defending himself against… all-out psychosis.
The journalist John Corry, being himself a controversial author, wrote a 6,000-word feature article in the New York Times in November 1982, defending Kosiński, which appeared on the front page of the "Arts and Leisure" section. Among other things, Corry alleged that reports claiming that "Kosiński was a plagiarist in the pay of the C.I.A. were the product of a Polish Communist disinformation campaign."
The book was published and marketed as a fictional work although it was generally assumed that it was based on the author's experiences during World War II. Only later did it become clear to most reviewers that Kosiński was neither the boy in the story nor did he share any of the boy's experiences, as revealed in a series of articles in newspapers and books.(2) The depicted events are now widely known to be fictional. D. G. Myers, Associate Professor of English at Texas A&M University, reviewing a biography of Kosiński noted that initially the author had passed off The Painted Bird as the true story of his own life during the Holocaust: "Long before writing it he regaled friends and dinner parties with macabre

Geothermal is a risk to our drinking water and agriculture
The proposed geothermal plant is a risk to our drinking water and agriculture. The environmental effects may be temporary or irreversible and may include changes to the landscape and land use, by gases emissions into the atmosphere, on surfaces and subsurface water, land subsidence and seismic activity.
A research paper about geothermal in Turkey outlines the possible environmental consequences.
Air and chemical pollution can be:
- Hydrogen Sulphide and its derivatives (H2S) are emitted, causing a bad smell and acid rain;
- Emitted carbon dioxide (CO2) and H2S are heavy gases and can linger, causing increased pollution for local people who live close to the geothermal plant;
- Radioactive element radon, toxic elements arsenic, mercury, ammonia, boron and other polluting heavy metals;
- Waste steam is normally sprayed over surrounding vegetation, while waste water is pumped into streams and river untreated, as treatment is considered too costly to be economically viable.
Dissolved minerals (e.g., boron, mercury and arsenic) contained in the liquid streams generated during the exploration, stimulation and production phases, may poison surface or groundwater and harm local vegetation.
Boron toxicity has a negative effect on the metabolic functions of plants. The boron toxicity can cause a reduced yield in plants, owing to the plant tissues death and reduced photosynthetic activity due to the high level of boron.
Fluids emerging from the geothermal area often contain high boron concentrations and cause environmental problems for irrigation waters in agricultural areas, where boron contaminates aquifers and soils.
Heavy metals are often found in water samples of drilled wells. They can contaminate fresh water sources or surface water. To a certain extent they enter our bodies by contaminated water used in vegetable cultivation, via animal food products, via drinking water and by the air.
Heavy metals are also dangerous for humans because they tend to bio-accumulate, i.e., increase in
concentration in human bodies over time. They damage the central nervous system and cause loss of memory, severe trembling, respiratory problems, birth defects, heart disorders and other health issues.
Energy security and food security in SVG is needed for us to have economic security and national security. Therefore, it is necessary for SVG to reject the high risk geothermal project and turn to safer, simpler and cheaper energy sources such as the renewable energy of solar and wind.
The SVG Parliament should pass legislation to (a) give the authority to build a further two hydro-electric power plants on the Colonarie river (b) mandate that VINLEC disclose every month the statistic related to the purchase of diesel for production of electricity, and (c) cut the price of electricity to twenty two cents per unit for private residential and domestic use, but retain the Fuel Surcharge tariff. This would shut out the need for the dangerous geothermal power plant in SVG.
The SVG Parliament should also pass legislation for zero tax and customs duty on all solar and wind equipment, so private households and businesses can import such equipment and generate electricity themselves. This would help Vincentians reduce their electricity bill and / or create a source of income.
Geothermal is an unnecessary risk to our drinking water and agriculture. The project should be abolished.

Container for model's signal data logs
 Note: The ModelDataLogs format is supported for backwards compatibility. The ModelDataLogs format will be removed in a future release. For an existing model that uses the ModelDataLogs format, you should migrate the model to use Dataset format. For details, see Migrate from ModelDataLogs to Dataset Format.
 For new models, use the Dataset logging format, which stores logged data in Simulink.SimulationData.Dataset objects.
If you set Configuration Parameters > Data Import/Export > Signal logging format to ModelDataLogs, Simulink® software creates instances of the Simulink.ModelDataLogs class to contain signal logs that it creates while simulating a model (see Signal Logging). In particular, Simulink software creates an instance of this class for a top model and for each model referenced by the top model that contains signals to be logged. Simulink software assigns the ModelDataLogs object for the top model to a variable in the MATLAB® workspace. The name of the variable is the name specified in the Signal logging name field on the Data Import/export pane of the model's Configuration Parameters dialog box. The default value is logsout.
A ModelDataLogs object has a variable number of properties. The first property, named Name, specifies the name of the model whose signal data the object contains or, if the model is a referenced model, the name of the Model block that references the model. The remaining properties reference objects that contain signal data logged during simulation of the model. The objects may be instances of any of the following types of objects:
The names of the properties identify the data being logged as follows:
 - For signal data logs, the name of the signal
 - For a subsystem or model log container, the name of the subsystem or model, respectively
 - For a scope viewer data log, the name specified on the viewer's parameter dialog box
 Note If a name contains spaces, the ModelDataLogs objects specifies its name as ('name') where name is the actual name, e.g., ('Brake Subsystem'). See Handling Spaces and Newlines in Logged Names for more information.
Consider, for example, the following model.
As indicated by the testpoint icons, this model specifies that Simulink software should log the signals named step and scope in the model's root system and the signal named clk in the subsystem named Delayed Out. After simulation of this model, the MATLAB workspace contains the following variable:
>> logsout
logsout =
Simulink.ModelDataLogs (siglgex):
 Name elements Simulink Class
 scope 2 TsArray
 step 1 Timeseries
 ('Delayed Out') 2 SubsysDataLogs
The logsout variable contains the signal data logged during the simulation. You can use fully qualified object names or the Simulink unpack command to access the signal data stored in logsout. For example, to access the amplitudes of the clk signal in the Delayed Out subsystem, enter
>> data = logsout.('Delayed Out').clk.Data;
>> logsout.unpack('all');
>> data = clk.Data;
You can use a custom logging name or signal name when logging a signal. If you use the signal name, and that name occupies more than one line, include an sprintf('\n') between the lines of the signal name when accessing the logged data. For example, to access the signal in the following model:
Use the following syntax:
logsout.(['scope' sprintf('\n') '(delayed out)'])
See Handling Spaces and Newlines in Logged Names for more information.

North Dakota may soon begin using brine, a byproduct of oil production, to control dust on roads.
A state health department official says test are underway to determine the environmental impact and effectiveness of using brine — which is 10 to 30 times saltier than seawater — compared to commercially available products, the AP reports.
On dry days with heavy traffic, dust on gravel roads leading to oil production sites can create near-whiteout conditions. But using magnesium chloride to control dust can cost $7,000 per mile, the news service says. Brine, however, can be obtained for free from oil companies.
This winter Milwaukee used cheese brine waste to de-ice city roads as a cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative to rock salt, which can wash away and pollute waterways.

What Day is Best to Go to the Cinema?: Going to the cinema is a popular pastime for many people, offering a chance to enjoy the latest movies on the big screen. However, choosing the right day to visit the cinema can significantly impact your experience. In this article, we will explore the factors to consider when deciding the best day to go to the cinema and provide some valuable tips to make the most of your movie-going experience.
What Day is Best to Go to the Cinema?
Are you planning to catch the latest blockbuster at the cinema? Choosing the right day can significantly enhance your movie-going experience. From lower ticket prices to a less crowded theater, several factors come into play when determining the best day to go to the cinema. This article will explore these factors and provide valuable insights to help you make the most of your movie night.
Selecting a day that maximizes your enjoyment is essential when planning a cinema trip. The perfect day can vary depending on various factors, such as the day of the week, film release dates, and audience preferences. By understanding these elements, you can optimize your cinema experience and make it even more memorable.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Day
Choosing the right day to visit the cinema can significantly impact your overall experience. It can affect the number of people in the theater, the availability of seats, and the overall ambiance. Additionally, different days may offer special deals or unique screenings, enhancing the value you receive for your ticket price.
Factors to Consider
To determine the best day to go to the cinema, consider the following factors:
1. Weekday vs. Weekend
Weekdays and weekends each have their advantages when it comes to cinema visits. Weekdays tend to have fewer people, making it easier to find seats and enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere. On the other hand, weekends often have a more comprehensive selection of movies and showtimes, providing more flexibility for planning your outing.
Mondays are often less crowded as people have work or other commitments. As a result, it can be an excellent day for those seeking a quieter, more relaxed cinema experience.
Similar to Mondays, Tuesdays are generally less busy, and some theaters offer special promotions like "Cheap Tuesday" with discounted ticket prices. Take advantage of these deals for an affordable movie outing.
Wednesdays are known for being less crowded, making it a perfect midweek day to catch a movie. Enjoy the benefits of lower ticket prices and a more peaceful theater environment.
Saturdays are typically busy at cinemas, especially during the evenings. Saturday can be a great choice if you prefer a livelier atmosphere and don't mind a bustling crowd.
Sundays generally see fewer visitors compared to Saturdays. It can be an excellent day to enjoy a movie without the intense weekend rush, allowing for a more relaxed experience.
The time of day you choose to visit the cinema also influences your overall experience. For example, matinee screenings during the afternoon are often less crowded, providing a quieter environment to enjoy the movie. On the other hand, evening screenings can offer a more vibrant atmosphere with a larger audience.
2. Film Release Date
Film release dates can significantly impact the cinema experience. Opening weekends often attract larger crowds, especially for highly anticipated blockbusters. However, if you prefer a more intimate setting or want to avoid long queues, consider visiting a few weeks after the movie's release.
3. Audience Preference
Different days may attract specific types of audiences. For instance, family-oriented movies may draw more viewers during weekends and school holidays, while weekday evenings may appeal to a more adult audience. Consider your personal preferences and the type of crowd you wish to watch the movie with.
Benefits of Choosing the Right Day
Opting for the best day to go to the cinema offers several advantages:
1. Fewer Crowds
Choosing a day with lower attendance ensures a more comfortable and enjoyable cinema experience. With fewer people in the theater, you can avoid long queues, have better access to concessions, and find seats with optimal viewing angles.
2. Better Seats
When you select a less crowded day, you have a higher chance of securing the best seats in the theater. Whether you prefer the center row, aisle seats, or a particular section, arriving early on a less busy day increases the likelihood of getting your preferred seating arrangement.
3. Enhanced Experience
A smaller audience creates a more immersive atmosphere. With fewer distractions, you can fully immerse yourself in the movie, appreciate the sound effects, and feel more connected to the story unfolding on the screen. This can significantly enhance your cinematic experience.
4. Lower Ticket Prices
Many cinemas offer discounted ticket prices on specific weekdays. By taking advantage of these promotions, you can enjoy the same movie experience at a lower cost, saving money while enjoying the big screen.
Tips for Choosing the Best Cinema Day
Consider the following tips to ensure you choose the best day to go to the cinema:
1. Check Movie Schedules
Before heading to the cinema, check the movie schedules for different days. Look for showtimes that align with your availability and preferences. Additionally, check if any special screenings or events are taking place, as they might offer a unique experience.
2. Consider Personal Preferences
Take into account your personal preferences when selecting a cinema day. For example, weekdays may be more suitable if you enjoy a quieter experience. On the other hand, if you prefer a lively atmosphere and a broader selection of movies, weekends might be your best bet. Tailor your choice to align with what you value most in your cinema visit.
3. Look for Special Deals
Cinemas often offer special deals and promotions on specific days. These can include discounted tickets, loyalty programs, or concessions packages. Research the cinema's website or inquire at the ticket counter to find out if any ongoing offers could enhance your movie experience while saving you money.
What Day is Best to Go to the Cinema? | Conclusion
Choosing the right day to go to the cinema is essential for a memorable and enjoyable experience. You can optimize your cinema outing by considering weekday vs. weekend, film release dates, and audience preferences. Remember to check movie schedules, align your choice with personal preferences, and take advantage of any special deals available.

Architect George Dance the Younger
Architectural style Georgian architecture
Designation Listed building
|Address Sawclose, Bath, BA1 1ET
Similar The Egg, Ustinov Studio, Bristol Hippodrome, Rondo Theatre, Royal National Theatre
The Theatre Royal in Bath, England, was built in 1805. A Grade II* listed building, it has been described by the Theatres Trust as "One of the most important surviving examples of Georgian theatre architecture". It has a capacity for an audience of around 900.
- Fire and rebuilding
- 20th century
- 2010 refurbishment
- Architecture and features
- Ustinov Studio
- The Egg
The Theatre Royal was built to replace the Old Orchard Street Theatre, funded by a Tontine and elaborately decorated. The architect was George Dance the Younger, with John Palmer carrying out much of the work. It opened with a performance of Shakespeare's Richard III and hosted performances by many leading actors of the time including Dorothea Jordan, William Macready and Edmund Kean. A major fire in 1862 destroyed the interior of the building and was quickly followed by a rebuilding programme by Charles J. Phipps, which included the construction of the current entrance. Further redecoration was undertaken in 1892; more extensive building work, including a new staircase and the installation of electric lighting, followed in 1902. Despite performances by casts including Sarah Bernhardt, the ballerina Anna Pavlova and Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the theatre was rarely very profitable. During World War II Donald Wolfit, Irene Vanbrugh, John Gielgud and Sybil Thorndike appeared, with shows including Noël Coward's Private Lives and Blyth Spirit, a performance by Ballet Rambert and light entertainment such as Charley's Aunt, but audiences declined.
In 1979 the theatre was bought by a trust and, following public donations, it underwent refurbishment, with the rebuilding of the stage and the installation of a new taller fly tower for scenery and lighting. In 1997 a new 150 seat theatre, known as the Ustinov Studio, was opened. Further restoration work to the main auditorium was needed in 2010. In 2005 a children's theatre known as The Egg was opened. The complex also includes bars and restaurants. The Theatre Royal is host to several annual events, including the Family Theatre Festival and the Shakespeare Unplugged Festival.
The theatre was erected in 1805, replacing the Old Orchard Street Theatre which had obtained a royal patent in 1768 enabling the use of the title 'Theatre Royal', the first to achieve this outside London. The Orchard Street site became a church and is now a Freemason's Hall. The new theatre was first proposed in 1802 at several sites in Bath until the current site was chosen in 1804; funding was raised by the use of a Tontine, an investment plan named after the Neapolitan banker Lorenzo de Tonti, who is credited with inventing it in France in 1653. It combined features of a group annuity and a lottery. Each subscriber paid an agreed sum into the fund, and thereafter received an annuity. As members died, their shares devolved to the other participants, and so the value of each annuity increased. On the death of the last member, the scheme was wound up. Shares, which cost £200, were rapidly purchased, with the Prince Regent who later became George IV and his brother Prince Frederick among the subscribers. A similar scheme had previously been used for the construction of the Bath Assembly Rooms.
The exterior of the building, with arches, pilasters, garlands and ornaments, which is visible from Beauford Square, was designed by George Dance the Younger who also designed the decorative sections of the interior. The main fabric of the building was by John Palmer, who supervised the construction. The ceiling was decorated with panels from Fonthill Splendens, a mile from Fonthill Abbey, which were painted by Andrea Casali and donated to the theatre by Paul Cobb Methuen. Because of the potential damage from the gas lights, which were installed in 1827, the paintings were moved by William Blathwayt to Dyrham Park.
The opening night was on 12 October 1805 was a production of Richard III, with an unknown actor in the lead. Though not a success, the theatre soon established a good reputation and thrived under the management of William Wyatt Dimond. Early performances included appearances by the child actors Master Betty and Clara Fisher, with adult leads from prominent actors on the London stage including Dorothea Jordan, William Macready and Edmund Kean. In addition to Shakespeare and other serious drama, the productions included opera and comedy with Joseph Grimaldi playing the clown in a pantomime of Mother Goose in November 1815.
Between the 1810s and 1850s there were a series of changes in ownership and management. These coincided with a Puritan revival and a fall in Bath's popularity; reductions in receipts were compounded by rising payments for actors from London. As a result, the theatre underwent financial crises and fell into a period of decline. Fortunes began to improve when James Henry Chute, who was the manager of the Bath Assembly Rooms and the son-in-law of the owner Mrs Macready, took over as the manager of the theatre and once again audiences began to rise.
Fire and rebuilding
On 18 April 1862 a major fire destroyed the interior of the building including the stage, scenery, wardrobe and library, leaving just the exterior walls still standing. A new company was formed to rebuild the theatre and a competition held for designs. The winner was C.J. Phipps and rebuilding, which included the new entrance on Sawclose, quickly followed. The present main entrance to the Theatre Royal, in Sawclose, was built in 1720 by Thomas Greenway, and was previously at Beau Nash's house. Pevsner criticizes the mouldings of window-frames, frieze and volutes of the door-hood brackets as "characteristically overdone", and mentions Wood citing its "profuse ornament" which was typical of a mason rather than an architect. Chute remained as manager and employed Charles Kean and Ellen Terry to play in A Midsummer Night's Dream on the opening night, 3 March 1863.
Initially the reopened theatre struggled to become profitable despite appearances by Henry Irving among others. In 1885 William Lewis took over as the lessee and was followed, in 1892, by his son Egbert Lewis. They redecorated the theatre in 1892 and attracted larger regular audiences to performances of melodrama and comedy while starting to put on Gilbert and Sullivan operas and other attractions.
In 1902 the theatre closed for nine months to enable extensive building work to be carried out in accordance with the terms of the Royal Charter. This involved a new staircase, the installation of electric lighting, a new fire curtain and hot water radiators throughout the auditorium. In 1905, on the anniversary of the opening of the Theatre Royal, numerous William Shakespeare's plays were performed by the company of actors led by Frank Benson.
In 1914 the theatre impresario Arthur Carlton, from Worcester, took over the lease. As he was responsible for 14 theatres around the country at the time, he appointed Mrs D. Valantine Munro as the local manager. Performances were maintained during World War I, and in 1916 Sarah Bernhardt portrayed a wounded male French soldier in Du Théâtre au Champ d'Honneur. In the 1920s there were appearances by the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova and Mrs. Patrick Campbell. During the Great Depression of the 1930s the theatre was not profitable and closed completely for six months. In 1938 the lease was taken over by Reg Maddox, whose family were involved with the theatre for the next 40 years. During World War II the theatre fared better, with appearances by prominent actors including Donald Wolfit, Irene Vanbrugh, John Gielgud and Sybil Thorndike. In the Post-War years, receipts suffered as audiences dwindled in the face of competition from cinema and television. Unsuccessful proposals were made for a trust to run the theatre in 1968, and in the 1970s, shares in the owning company were bought by the property developer Charles Ware, who sold to Charles Clarke, a solicitor from Bristol. Clarke was responsible for a redecoration of the building, but as profits were still small, in 1976 he sold it to Louis I. Michaels, who ran the Haymarket Theatre in London.
In March 1979, the dilapidated theatre was purchased by a trust headed by Jeremy Fry for £155,000. The following year, an appeal was launched to raise money for renovations, including the complete rebuilding of the stage, installation of a steel grid to hold stage lighting and scenery and a higher fly system, to allow major touring companies, including the Royal National Theatre under Peter Hall, to be booked to perform. The total projected cost was £3.5 million, of which £1.8 million was seen as being essential to reopening the theatre. Money and donations in kind were received from the city council, Arts Council England, Bath Preservation Trust, Leche Trust, Historic buildings council, Manifold Trust, South-West Stonecleaning and Restoration Company and many individuals. Work on the building started to designs by Dowton and Hurst. However, as insufficient funds had been raised by 1982 to complete the work, loans were negotiated with the Bristol & West and Lombard North Central with guarantees from local councils. The theatre reopened on 30 November 1982 with a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream, featuring a cast from the National Theatre led by Paul Scofield. The event was attended by Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon.
In October 2009, the '2010 Refurbishment Appeal' was launched by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Royal Patron of the Theatre Royal Bath, to raise money for a programme of work to preserve the 200-year-old building, while ensuring that it remained suitable for

- Effects of Airborne Pollutants on Mucociliary Clearance
Rhodin (12) and, more recently, Breeze and Sheldon (13), have described the morphology of the airways. A ciliated pseudo-stratified respiratory tract mucosa extends from the nose down to the terminal bronchioles.
Figure 1 shows a scanning electron micrograph of a cross section of a rat trachea showing the cilia and overlying mucus. The major sources ofmucous glycoproteins are goblet cells and submucosal glands of both serous and mucous types (7). From the comparative volume of goblet cells and submucosal glands in nornal airways, it has been suggested that mucosal glands contribute 40 times the volume of secretions secreted by goblet cells (14,15). As one moves to the periphery of the lung, the percentages of both ciliated and goblet cells decreases (5,16). Epithelial serous cells (7), with a distribution similar to that of goblet cells, are another source of mucus. Clara cells, found primarily in the bronchioles (13), are also possible sources of glycoprotein or lipid or both (7).
Submucosal glands are limited to the trachea and bronchi. There are considerable species differences. Submucosal glands are numerous in humans, cats, pigs, and ferrets, infrequent in rodents, and nonexistent in geese and chickens (7,16,17). Goblet cells are numerous in humans, cats, pigs, and geese and infrequent in rodents (7).
Inhalation of irritant gases and aerosols can cause hypertrophy of mucous glands and hyperplasia of goblet cells (5,18). It is not clear which of these responses is of greater importance; the nature of the response presumably depends at least somewhat on the type of irritant and the species studied. Most of the data available for pollutant responses are from rats that have fewer goblet cells and mucous glands than man.
Control mechanisms of mucus glycoprotein secretions are not entirely clear. There is strong evidence for efferent parasympathetic innervation of the mucous glands (7), and so they are at least partially under the influence of the nervous system. Goblet cells and serous cells are more likely to be influenced by local effects; however, goblet cell numbers are increased by parenteral administration of the sympathomimetic agent isoproteronol (19). Both parasympathetic and sympathetic stimulation have produced increased mucus glycoprotein production and volume of secretions (19). Parasympathetic agonists decreased secretions, whereas sympathetic agonists appeared to have no effect (19).
There is general agreement that the mucous blanket consists of two phases. An approximately 5,m thick layer of low viscosity periciliary fluid bathes the cilia in the trachea. Above this is a gel phase of higher viscosity material about 5 ,um thick (20). Recent observations in our laboratory indicate that the mucus glycoprotein blanket preserved after fixation and drying is ca. 1 to 2 ,m thick in normal rats (Fig. 1). The clawed tips of the cilia touch the upper layer at the top of their stroke (5). The existence of these two layers is supported by the work of Lucas and Douglas (21) and Bang and Bang (22) and Morgan et al. (23). The primary source of the upper layer is undoubtedly goblet cells and mucous glands; however, the source and control of the periciliary fluid has not been clearly demonstrated, although it appears to be related to water transport (7) across the epithelium.
Whether the upper mucous layer is a continuous blanket or consists of discrete "flakes" or "plaques" is a controversial issue. The work of Iravani and Van As (24), reviewed by Van As (25), supports the latter hypothesis. Many other workers have presented data indicating a continuous mucous blanket (20-22,26,27).
From available data it appears most likely that the gel mucous layer is thinner and discontinuous as the airways become smaller (5), where there are fewer ciliated and mucous secreting cells, as noted earlier. Even in the trachea we have observed areas as shown in Figure 2a where there is no overlying mucous glycoprotein and in Figure 2b where it is relatively thin and strands of glycoprotein can be seen. In our observations, these regions represent 20 to 25% of the surface area of the trachea in normal rats. Certainly mucous transport velocities decrease from the trachea to peripheral airways as shown by Iravani and van As (24), Asmundsson and Kilburn (28), and Morrow et al. (29).
Tracheal mucous velocities have been observed to range from 2 to 20 mm/min (1,2,5) in a variety of species measured with a variety of techniques. When consistent methodology is used (30), smaller species have slower velocities than large species. Velocities in the smaller bronchioles have been found to be
It must be recognized that description of mucociliary clearance in terms of velocity has limitations. At best, it represents an average which has a wide standard deviation (31,32), and it represents the fastest movement of material when a leading edge of transported material is measured. The key point is that mucous clearance is not necessarily as relentless and uniform as it is sometimes portrayed. For instance, there are preferential routes of clearance, at least in the trachea (32), and presumably in the lower airways. Therefore, there is the chance for particles to remain in an area of slow clearance for some time. Clearance from the smaller airways is also probably slower than has been generally recognized. Lee (33) has calculated velocities as low as - 5 _URL_ for terminal bronchioles by fitting a kinetic model to observed lung clearance curves.

Theoretical and empirical studies predict that there should be a decrease in hunting success of predators with increasing prey group size. Most of these studies investigated situations in which predator and prey were in full view of each other before, during and after an attack. In this study, single rock bass Ambloplites rupestris were given an opportunity to launch surprise attacks at shoals of creek chub Semotilus atromaculatus that ranged in size from two to 13 fish. There was no significant influence of either shoal size or attack distance on predator success rate and no significant relationship between attack distance and shoal size. Furthermore, it was found that the leading fish of a shoal was attacked significantly more often than fish in other shoal positions, indicating that predation risk was not shared equally among shoal members. Also, leading fish in larger shoals (eight to 13 fish) were not more likely to survive a predator attack than ones in small shoals (two to seven fish).The consequences of these results are discussed in the general context of antipredator benefits of grouping.

An egg is more than just a breakfast staple for gardeners. It turns out, you can use egg shells to make your garden even more productive.
Eggshells contain a wide variety of nutrients that plants love including calcium carbonate, sulfur, magnesium, and potassium.
How To Use Eggshells In The Garden
They also contain organic matter once they decompose that is rich in nitrogen that's useful for your plants.
Eggshells definitely decompose in your garden, but keep in mind it doesn't happen overnight – it happens pretty slowly.
Today, we'll be going through five of the best uses of eggshells for the garden. Let's get started!
Prevent Blossom-End Rot
One important benefit of using them in the garden is the addition of calcium from eggshells to the soil which is an essential ingredient.
Calcium deficiency can cause blossom end rot in tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. Blossom end rot is exactly what it sounds like – the end of your fruit is rotted:
One way to prevent your crops from having water-soaked spots at the blossom end, is by using crushed eggshells in the garden at the bottom of planting holes. This can add a steady supply of calcium to the plants as it breaks down.
Eggshells can help you prevent blossom end rot as they begin fertilizing eggplants, peppers, as well as tomatoes when used in your garden.
Use as a Seed Starter
Another one of the uses for eggshells in the garden is that they can be used as biodegradable and no-waste seed starters.
Here's how to prepare eggshells for the garden as well as planting in them. Simply use deep eggshell halves after sterilizing them in a 200°F oven for about half an hour.
Once done, make a hole at the bottom of each shell using a nail or an awl. Add potting mix and sow the seeds according to package directions. When sprouts start to appear, you can plant them right into the garden soil without having to throw away anything.
Pests with soft undersides like slugs, snails, and cutworms can wreak havoc in any garden. You can sprinkle some crushed eggshells on the soil's surface to deter these pests.
The eggshells can damage the soft bodies of these pests and kill them or deter them from crossing through the sharp shards of the eggshell pieces.
In addition, if you live in an area where there are deer roaming around, you can use eggshells to keep them away from the garden.
Deer are known to detest the scent of albumen so your crops can stay safe from these creatures.
Add Calcium to the Soil
II get this question a lot: "Are eggshells good for the garden?". One answer is that if the soil in your garden is particularly low in calcium, you can add eggshells into your compost pile to help.
Once your compost is finished breaking down, you can apply it to the soil as an amendment ensuring that your garden has an abundant supply of calcium to feed your plants
Alternatively, you can use eggshells as a form of mulch. Apart from delivering calcium to the soil and moderating soil acidity, a layer of eggshells on top of your soil can also help aerate the soil, prevent water loss, and deter weeds and pests.

Eggshells make for an excellent addition to bird food. If you have a bird feeder in your garden, add in some crushed eggshells.
Female birds who are getting ready to lay eggs or have recently finished laying can benefit from the extra calcium that eggshells can provide.
Which Plants Like Egg Shells
Any plant that needs calcium. So that means all plants, as calcium is essential to all plants.
But as I mentioned above tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants will benefit especially due to them being prone to blossom end rot will benefit greatly.
There are many things that you have right at your fingertips that can help your plants and you may not even know it.

 Molar heat capacities of ibuprofen were precisely measured with a small sample precision automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from 80 to 400 K. The polynomial functions of C p,m (J K -1 mol -1 ) versus T were established on the heat capacity measurements by means of the least fitting square method. The functions are as follows: for solid ibuprofen, at the temperature range of 79.105 K≤T≤333.297 K, C p,m =144.27+77.046X+3.5171X 2 +10.925X 3 +11.224X 4 , where X=(T-206.201)/127.096; for liquid ibuprofen, at the temperature range of 353.406 K≤T≤378.785 K, C p,m =325.79+8.9696X-1.6073X 2 -1.5145X 3 , where X=(T-366.095)/12.690. A fusion transition at T=348.02 K was found from the C p -T curve. The molar enthalpy and entropy of the fusion transition were determined to be 26.65 kJ mol -1 and 76.58 J mol -1 K -1 , respectively. The thermodynamic functions on the base of the reference temperature of 298.15 K, (H T -H 298.15 ) and (S T -S 298.15 ), were derived. Thermal characteristic of ibuprofen was studied by thermo-gravimetric analysis (TG-DTG) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The temperature of fusion, the molar enthalpy and entropy of fusion obtained by DSC were well consistent with those obtained by adiabatic calorimeter. The evaporation process of ibuprofen was investigated further by TG and DTG, and the activation energy of the evaporation process was determined to be 80.3±1.4 kJ mol -1

 2017-06-01
 In this paper, a transient multi-parameter three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction method is proposed to diagnose and visualize a combustion flow field. Emission and transmission tomography based on spatial phase-shifted technology are combined to reconstruct, simultaneously, the various physical parameter distributions of a propane flame. Two cameras triggered by the internal trigger mode capture the projection information of the emission and moiré tomography, respectively. A two-step spatial phase-shifting method is applied to extract the phase distribution in the moiré fringes. By using the filtered back-projection algorithm, we reconstruct the 3D refractive-index distribution of the combustion flow field. Finally, the 3D temperature distribution of the flame is obtained from the refractive index distribution using the Gladstone-Dale equation. Meanwhile, the 3D intensity distribution is reconstructed based on the radiation projections from the emission tomography. Therefore, the structure and edge information of the propane flame are well visualized.
 14. Large-eddy simulation of a bluff-body stabilised turbulent premixed flame using the transported flame surface density approach

 A premixed propane-air flame stabilised on a triangular bluff body in a model jet-engine afterburner configuration is investigated using large-eddy simulation (LES). The reaction rate source term for turbulent premixed combustion is closed using the transported flame surface density (TFSD) model. In this approach, there is no need to assume local equilibrium between the generation and destruction of subgrid FSD, as commonly done in simple algebraic closure models. Instead, the key processes that create and destroy FSD are accounted for explicitly. This allows the model to capture large-scale unsteady flame propagation in the presence of combustion instabilities, or in situations where the flame encounters progressive wrinkling with time. In this study, comprehensive validation of the numerical method is carried out. For the non-reacting flow, good agreement for both the time-averaged and root-mean-square velocity fields are obtained, and the Karman type vortex shedding behaviour seen in the experiment is well represented. For the reacting flow, two mesh configurations are used to investigate the sensitivity of the LES results to the numerical resolution. Profiles for the velocity and temperature fields exhibit good agreement with the experimental data for both the coarse and dense mesh. This demonstrates the capability of LES coupled with the TFSD approach in representing the highly unsteady premixed combustion observed in this configuration. The instantaneous flow pattern and turbulent flame behaviour are discussed, and the differences between the non-reacting and reacting flow are described through visualisation of vortical structures and their interaction with the flame. Lastly, the generation and destruction of FSD are evaluated by examining the individual terms in the FSD transport equation. Localised regions where straining, curvature and propagation are each dominant are observed, highlighting the importance of non-equilibrium effects of FSD generation and

 A simple approximate nonperturbative method is described for treating time-dependent problems that works well in the intermediate regime far from both the sudden and the adiabatic limits. The method consists of applying the Magnus expansion after transforming to the adiabatic basis defined by the eigenstates of the instantaneous Hamiltonian. A few exactly soluble examples are considered in order to assess the domain of validity of the approximation. (author) 32 refs., 4 figs

 Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)
 Jacob. B. Schmidt
 2011-01-01
 Full Text Available The effect of millisecond wide sub-breakdown pulsed voltage-current induced flow perturbation has been measured in premixed laminar atmospheric pressure propane/air flame. The flame equivalence ratios were varied from 0.8 to 1.2 with the flow speeds near 1.1 meter/second. Spatio-temporal flame structure changes were observed through collection of CH (A-X and OH (A-X chemiluminescence and simultaneous spontaneous Raman scattering from N2. This optical collection scheme allows us to obtain a strong correlation between the measured gas temperature and the chemiluminescence intensity, verifying that chemiluminescence images provide accurate measurements of flame reaction zone structure modifications. The experimental results suggest that the flame perturbation is caused by ionic wind originating only from the radial positive space-charge distribution in/near the cathode fall. A net momentum transfer acts along the annular space discharge distribution in the reaction zone at or near the cathode fall which modifies the flow field near the cathodic burner head. This radially inward directed body force appears to enhance mixing similar to a swirl induced modification of the flame structure. The flame fluidic response exhibit a strong dependence on the voltage pulse width ≤10 millisecond.

What is SCD legal? Definition, Legal/Illegal lists & Legal yogurt
When I first started out on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet one of the things that struck me as a bit strange was the term "SCD legal". In this article, I take a dive deep into the concept of foods being SCD legal. I'll also share my experience with making SCD legal yogurt, one of the first recipes many people make on the diet.
What is SCD legal? SCD legal is the term used for foods that can be eaten on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, in contrast to illegal foods or ingredients that must be avoided on the SCD diet. This shorthand of legal/illegal ingredients was introduced by Elaine Godshall, after the death of originator Dr. Sydney Hass.
Let's go through a bit of the background and history of what these terms mean and how they came about, as well as where to find information on which foods are allowed on the diet. If you are starting on the SCD or know someone who is, it can be helpful to have a little background.
SCD Legal Definition
So the definition of SCD Legal are foods and ingredients that can be eaten when following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. This is in contrast to illegal ingredients and foods which must be excluded completely while following the SCD diet. It is simply the terminology chosen for highlighting what you can and cannot eat on the diet.
Over the many years following the SCD diet, I have had a lot of people smirk or crack jokes about the terminology chosen for the "legal/illegal" list of foods for the diet.
No, no one will be coming to arrest you if you eat a pound of candy, so that wording can seem a bit silly. Still, I think the goal was to impart the seriousness and importance of following the diet 100% with no exceptions until you are healed.
no food should be ingested that contains carbohydrates other than those found in fruits, honey, properly prepared yogurt, and those vegetables and nuts listed.
I can see the reasoning behind trying to communicate how strictly you have to follow the diet. It tends to be human nature to assume that a cheat here and there is not going to be such a big deal. For example that a one time exception where you eat some cake at a party is just part of life or that even what you don't know can't hurt you with certain unknowns in an ingredient list. I think the purpose of calling these ingredients "illegal" is to emphasize that it IS a big deal, that one slip up can set your progress by many months.
I have heard interviews with people who had followed the diet strictly for a period of years with full healing and decided they can begin to add foods deemed illegal on SCD back into their diets and one day ended up in the hospital. These types of stories tend to scare you straight, or at least they did for me.
It appears that Elaine Godshall, who popularized the current incarnation of the SCD diet, is the one who came up with the term SCD "legal" and "illegal".
The most prevalent terminology used in Management of celiac disease by Dr. Sydney Haas, the original creator of the diet, appears to have been the terminology "forbidden" foods, for example in this excerpt:
The strictness of this diet cannot be overemphasized, nor should the difficulty of adhering to it be minimized. Faithful observance requires intelligence and vigilance on the part of the mother or the person taking care of the child with celiac disease. It is surprising how many a child will, despite the best parental supervision, manage to get hold of forbidden food.
Management of celiac disease – Sidney Haas
Other terminology commonly used by Dr. Haas were "prohibited" and "not allowed". For example in the following passage in Management of celiac disease: "Any cereal grain is strictly and absolutely forbidden, including corn, wheat, rye or rice in any form, whether it is bread, cake, toast, zweiback, crackers, cookies or breakfast cereals. Potato is prohibited. Sugar is forbidden as sweetening or in the form of candy, pastries, breads, etc, as well as dextrins such as are found in corn sirups and lollipops. Milk other than protein milk is not allowed.".
Having these multiple ways of describing illegal foods on the SCD may have been not quite as clear and to the point. This may have been Elaine Godshall's thinking when coming up with the term illegal in her guidance for those following SCD in her book years later.
Using such strong language, it's hard not to take notice of what is strictly off limits on the diet, or at least it does the best job possible of driving home this point.
Specific Carbohydrate Diet Legal List
The official specific carbohydrate diet legal list is available on the Breaking the Vicious Cycle companion website:
This is a great resource that everyone on the diet will use periodically.
Although some general concepts you tend to put to memory, such as that carrots are legal but cane juice/cane sugar is not – the SCD legal list is great for confirming some less common foods, such as whether Jicama is legal (it is not).
One limitation you will notice about the SCD legal/illegal list is that it does not have every ingredient in the world. Given that it was Elaine Godshall herself who studied the biochemistry of foods and maintained the evaluations for SCD legal and illegal lists, there were understandably limits to the amounts of ingredients she had been able to review.
Elaine Godshall passed away in 2005. Since that time, as new food trends have emerged there has been a bit of a void in terms of another source of truth for whether items should be allowed on the SCD.
Elaine always maintained that if there weren't enough resources to study a particular food, that it was probably not worth taking a chance. That concept applied now more than ever, as new exotic fruits and vegetables are available in North America, one has to make a judgment call for themselves as to whether to take a chance eating a food that has not been blessed as SCD legal or play it safe by sticking to those foods reviewed for the SCD legal list (I would definitely recommend playing it safe for those who are still healing and following the SCD).
What is SCD Legal Yogurt?
SCD legal yogurt is simply a homemade yogurt created from scratch at home using an SCD compliant yogurt starter like the one from Yogourmet, with one additional requirement of letting the yogurt ferment for a full 24 hours as opposed to the more standard 4 or 8 hours.
One of the more exotic elements of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet is the recommendation to make your own yogurt from scratch. In general other ingredients, like carrots, eggs, fish and meats are pretty common, but people can get a little nervous about the requirement of making homemade yogurt.
As a quick overview, the steps to make SCD compliant yogurt are to heat milk on the stove to a simmer, making sure it doesn't boil over, then cover it and let it cool until it is below 110F (can take a bit of time), transfer a bit of the simmered milk into the yogurt maker (which keeps it at a steady 100-110F), add the yogurt starter, then add the rest of the milk and turn on the yogurt maker for a full 24 hours.
I hope to do a more in-depth article in the future on SCD yogurt making, but here are more details on the steps as well as a helpful video showing the steps:
This is a helpful video tutorial on making SCD legal yogurt if you are new at it. Note that if you cannot find the exact Dannon yogurt she mentions you can also use the Yogourmet starter linked above.
Related Questions
What does "SCD diet" mean? SCD diet stands for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, created by Sidney Valentine Haas, M.D. and made popular by Elaine Gottschall in her book Breaking The Vicious Cycle. Its goal is the management of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, diverticulitis, cystic fibrosis and chronic diarrhea.
What is SCD legal bacon? SCD Legal bacon is any bacon that does not contain ingredients that are restricted from the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, such as refined sugar. Although in the book Breaking The Vicious Cycle, bacon cured with sugar is allowed once per week in small quantities, SCD legal bacon can be eaten liberally.

How to Paint Untextured Walls
Kittie McCoy
Painting an untextured wall might sound easy, but getting paint to stick to a smooth surface can be a challenge. Most drywall or plaster walls have at least a small amount of texture you can feel when you run your hand over the surface. Wall panels, however, can be perfectly smooth and even slick.
This slick surface can repel the paint and lead to an uneven texture or chips. Fortunately, you can paint an untextured wall with good results as long as you take the time to properly prepare it.
 1. Sand the walls lightly with 220-grit sandpaper. This will create a slight texture on the walls to help the paint adhere.
 2. Clean the walls with a sponge and soapy water made from a mild liquid soap and warm water. Rinse the walls with a sponge dampened in clean water and dry the walls thoroughly with a lint-free towel.
 3. Apply an alcohol-based primer to the walls with a short nap paint roller. These paint rollers are labeled as 1/8 to 1/4 inch and designed for smooth surfaces. Wait for the primer to dry.
 4. Paint the walls with an interior latex paint and a clean short nap paint roller. Wait for the first coat to dry and then apply a second coat of paint.
 5. Tip
 Apply the primer and paint to the walls in a diagonal pattern to create overlapping Ws or Ms. This will help ensure a smooth and even coat of paint.

Abstract : In this paper, we investigate the curvature behavior of complete noncompact gradient expanding Ricci solitons with nonnegative Ricci curvature. For such a soliton in dimension four, it is shown that the Riemann curvature tensor and its covariant derivatives are bounded. Moreover, the Ricci curvature is controlled by the scalar curvature. In higher dimensions, we prove that the Riemann curvature tensor grows at most polynomially in the distance function.

The objective of this study was to ergonomically evaluate the exposure of workers to the physical risk factors (noise, particulate matter (PM), lighting, air temperature, relative humidity, air velocity) in feed mills. The research was carried out in the storage, dosage, and packaging departments of three different feed mills. Noise values were measured with noise meter and PM concentration with a personal sampler using gravimetric method. Lighting, air temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity values were determined using a multi-function measuring device. It was determined that the measured noise exceeded the upper exposure action value (85 dBA) and was very close to the limit value (87 dBA), PM10 concentration in storage sections exceeded the recommended limit value (10 mg m(-3)), lighting in dosage and packaging sections was below the limit values (1000 lux) in the three departments of the enterprises. Temperature was higher than the recommended values in all departments and also humidity and air velocity values were determined to be insufficient.

The mission of the Toms River Police Department's Emergency Service Unit (ESU) is to support the Department's community-based policing efforts to reduce the incidence and the fear of crime. This is accomplished by developing and deploying a reserve force of the most highly trained and disciplined personnel. The Emergency Services Unit is continually trained in the use of specialized tactics and equipment in order to provide the most proficient and professional tactical response possible; reducing the risk to officers, suspects and the general public.
Since its inception, the Emergency Service Unit ESU has provided a ready response to situations that were beyond the capabilities of normally equipped and trained department personnel. ESU responds, upon request, to assist in resolving barricade/hostage episodes and calls involving suicidal individuals. The unit also plans and executes all high risk warrant services within the township. The Emergency Services Unit is deployed numerous times each year to conduct search warrants, high risk arrest warrants and to apprehend dangerous, armed subjects. The unit has earned numerous commendations and citations for their involvement in these activities.
The need for ESU expertise and assistance with warrant service is dependent upon the following criteria:
- Unusual circumstances beyond the capabilities of patrol.
- Heavily fortified locations.
- Weapons are known to be present and/or have been used in the past.
- The presence of suspects with extensive criminal history.
The Emergency Service Unit is under the command of Lieutenant Robert Rankin _EMAIL_.
