Do you know there is a breed of dog that has a double nose? The breed is called the Pachón Navarro: This hound has a nose that is fully divided down the centre so that it looks as if he has two noses. The double nose came about by selective breeding for dogs with a superior sense of smell. As it happened, having the appearance of two noses makes no difference when following a scent. But it's easy to see why previous owners in centuries gone by might think this.
Indeed, the Pachón Navarro is an old breed. They hale from a region close to the Pyrenees Mountains in Spain, called Navarre. A working dog that excels at tracking birds, he makes a friendly and active companion for the right person.
About & History
The Pachón Navarro is a venerable breed originating from Spain. They reached peak popularity amongst Spanish nobility in the 18th and 19th century. However, after the Spanish Civil War their numbers declined dramatically to the point of dying out altogether.
It took the work of dedicated Pachón Navarro enthusiasts to save the breed from extinction. They toured rural Spanish villages to find the last remaining dogs and then undertook controlled breeding to resurrect this distinctive dog's numbers.
The Pachón Navarro is sometimes also referred to as the Old Spanish Pointer. This is a little confusing because the breed is a close descendent of a breed with the same exact name (Old Spanish Pointer) but is not identical. Sadly, the original Old Spanish Pointer now no longer exists, but their legacy includes several other closely related breeds including the Majorcan Pointer, Galician Pointer, and the Burgos Pointer.
Intriguingly, the Pachón Navarro's ancestor, the Old Spanish Pointer, is thought to have shared blood with the ancient (and now extinct) Talbot Hound with roots dating back to the 12th century.
The Pachón Navarros is a medium to large sized dog, and every inch a pointer-type. He has a stout, workmanlike body; strong, heavy legs; a straight tail; and delightful drop ears. To look at him is to see echoes of other pointer type dogs, such as the German Shorthaired Pointer. However, he is slightly heavier boned and may have pronounced skin folds, especially around the jowls and chin.
The Pachón Navarros has a unique feature in the distinctive anatomy of his nose. Instead of having a discrete crease marking the centre of his nose, the Pachón Navarros' nose is completely divided into a distinct left and right. This gives the appearance of having two separate noses. In fact, this is an optical illusion, but it's an understandable mistake to make, that the Pachón Navarros might be blessed with a superior ability to track odours.
Nose aside, the Pachón Navarros usually has a short coat. However, occasional pups are born with a longer coat, which is soft and silky to the touch. Typically the coat colour is a white background with tan, liver, or orange patches or flecks. The latter is officially known as ticking, and refers to localised flecks of hair that are a different colour to the main white coat.
Character & Temperament
The Pachón Navarros is an active character that loves to track and hunt, especially birds. He is an active dog that thrives on plenty of outdoor exercise, preferably off-leash. This makes him a great companion for active owners, but a poor match for sedentary apartment life.
One of the great things about Pachón Navarros is how they love the company of people. They love it so much to the point that this breed will be miserable if kept in an outdoor kennel away from his owner. The Pachón Navarro also has a laudable reputation for being friendly and even tempered. He's prepared to live and let live, be that with people, children, or other dogs. But he does draw the line at birds. That instinct to hunt and retrieve birds is too deeply ingrained to make for an easy relationship with our feathered friends.
However, whilst the Pachón Navarro doesn't look for trouble, he's no push-over. When challenged, he will protect and defend, and this courage makes him a good watchdog. Lastly, one of the sweetest traits of the Pachón Navarro's character is for retrieving. From a young age, these pups love to pick up objects and carry them around. But beware if they don't get enough exercise and mental stimulation, because the love of having things in their mouth is easily diverted into chewing.
A sociable dog that likes human company, the Pachón Navarro can be a quick learner. Their natural intelligence and eagerness to please makes them ideal candidates for reward-based training methods. This doesn't mean an owner should accept anything less than exemplary behaviour though.
As a pack dog, the Pachón Navarro can be inclined to do their own thing rather than listen to their handler. This trait needs correction by getting the dog's attention focused on their owner. Clear rules and consistency are key to good behaviour in this breed.
Rescued from the brink of extinction, modern day Pachón Navarros are off-spring of a narrow gene pool. Sadly, this can mean they are at greater risk of certain inheritable diseases than other breeds. These include:
Cleft Palate
That distinctive double nose is a hereditary trait. However, the gene coding for a fissure in the dog's nose are closely related to those for a cleft palate. Puppies born with a cleft palate have difficulty nursing. Milk can pass from their mouth up into the nose and down into their lungs. These poor pups are likely to develop aspiration pneumonia, which is usually life-threating at such a young age.
Surgical correction of a cleft palate is technically possible, but anaesthesia in very young pups carries a high risk. Once successfully correct, that individual should not be used for breeding as their offspring are at high risk of having the same problem.
Epilepsy refers to a seizure condition where no underlying reason for the fits can be found. Symptoms can develop in young dogs and range in severity from mild to life-threatening.
Epilepsy can be controlled, but not cured. Fortunately, modern anti-convulsant drugs allow most dogs to lead normal lives, provided they continue to take their medications.
The Pachón Navarro is prone to having underactive thyroid glands. A lack of thyroid hormone leads to a sluggish metabolism. This is evident as a lack of energy and tendency to weight gain. This is another condition that can't be permanently 'cured' but is easy to control with a simple thyroid supplement taken daily for life.
Hip Dysplasia
Poor hip anatomy leads to inflammation of the hip joint. For mildly affected dogs, simple pain relief may be sufficient. However, those most severely afflicted live in constant pain and can have difficulty moving around. For these dogs, the best solution is total hip replacement surgery, which is expensive.
Allergic Skin Disease
The signs of atopy or allergic skin disease are severe itchiness. The dog may scratch and lick to the point of developing sores and infection. There are many different treatment options for controlling the itch, which range from inexpensive steroids through to state-of-the-art immunotherapy injections that cancel out the immune response to allergens.
Exercise and Activity Levels
Like the lettering in a stick of Blackpool rock, the Pachón Navarro has a hunting instinct that runs through their very core. They are an active dog for whom tracking a scent and being energetic are as basic to them as breathing. In short, it's essential to their health and well-being that the Pachón Navarro gets plenty of exercise. This means hours of strenuous activity each and every day. Ideally, this should also be off leash so that they get a chance to put their awesome ability to track to use and explore where that distinctive nose leads them.
On the flip side, the Pachón Navarro is ill-suited to the life of a couch potato or the confines of an apartment. They have an inbuilt energy budget for the day and if they don't get to spend it in constructive exercise, they will divest themselves in inappropriate ways, such as chewing or destructive behaviours.
The short coat of the Pachón Navarro is easy to care for. Weekly brushing helps to spread natural conditioning oils and keep the coat in good order. Take care not to bathe your Pachón Navarro too frequently though, for fear of stripping out those oils and causing dry skin.

A heuristic aproach to solve disassembly lot sizing problems
Tutor / directorAmodeo, Lionel
Document typeMaster thesis
Rights accessOpen Access
In disassembly lot sizing problems the final objective is organize the schedule for disassembly operations in order to recover parts from an initial product in order to satisfy a given demand. This kind of reverse logistic procedures are becoming more and more important every day mainly as a consequence of environmental issues. When a product has arrived at the end of its life their parts can be recycled or used again but we need to organize the operations required in order to obtain the maxim profit and to respect some important constrains. The one studied is a two levels problem without commonality parts. In this project we propose two different methods to solve this disassembly lot sizing problem. The method 1 is divided in three different stages. During the first one, an initial solution is obtained using a fix-and-optimize heuristic. Since the solution after this algorithm can be feasible or not, an algorithm to fix it is proposed in the second stage. In the last stage we propose a tabo research in order to improve the solution. We have used another method which includes exact resolution with integer relaxation and simulated annealing to improve this initial solution. In the last section we show how both methods perform and we compare them.

I'm having a bit of confusion about how to render text in a pure AS3 project. There are classes like flash.text.StaticText but these are designer-only, you can't create them in code. I was half-expecting the Graphics class to have text-rendering options but alas, no.
Specifically I was going to add a label above each player's sprite with their name, health %, etc. So I expected to add a child text-element or draw text using Graphics in some way... it's read-only and should not support user-input, I just want to draw text on-screen.

You can use TextField class for this. Please check the reference. All fields and methods are self explanatory.
A possible example.
var myField:TextField = new TextField();
myField.text = "my text";
myField.x = 200;
myField.y = 200;
addChild(myField); // assuming you are in a container class

The Math Behind a Spinning Coin
Trevor English
The photo credit line may appear like this
Everyone loves spinning a coin on a table and watching it slowly stop rotating . . . no, just me? Well in the world of physics this is called Euler's disk, and it is often used to demonstrate the dynamics of a spinning disk on a flat surface. Many of you probably just want to watch the shiny disk spin, but there are some of us wondering what the ratio between the disk's rotation and diameter is. Whether you just want to watch a disk spin or you actually want to learn the math behind it, the video below has you covered.
_URL_
Mathematics define everything, and the physics behind Euler's disk isn't actually all that complicated. The radius of the disk being spun can be related through through some pretty simple formulas, and the rate of wobble can be correlated to the rate of spin.
Engineering isn't always about big complex problems, but rather knowing everyday problems can be solved with a little bit of math. Many of you will probably just go back to spinning your coins and enjoying their wobble as they slow down. But the rest of us will never be able to look at a spinning disk ever again without trying to calculate the rate of spin or rate of wobble in our heads. Engineering is both a curse and a blessing like that sometimes, you can never look at the world without wondering.

At the end of the video, the challenge is put out to do some further in depth study about the mathematics behind Euler's disk, and that's our challenge to you. Can you explain the ratios behind the spinning motion of the disk better than the video did? Let us know in the comments, or send in your report to StandUpMaths on youtube!

What does BUTO mean?
Buto, Butus, or Butosus, now Tell al-Fara'in near the city of Desouk, was an ancient city located 95 km east of Alexandria in the Nile Delta of Egypt. The city stood on the Sebennytic arm of the Nile, near its mouth, and on the southern shore of the Butic Lake. It is the modern Kem Kasir. Buto originally was two cities, Pe and Dep, which merged into one city that the Egyptians named Per-Wadjet. The goddess Wadjet was its local goddess, often represented as a cobra, and she was considered the patron deity of Lower Egypt. Her oracle was located in her renowned temple in that city. An annual festival held in the city celebrated Wadjet. Her image formed the royal crown, the Uraeus, worn by the rulers of Lower Egypt. It encircled their heads and the cobra flare and head extended from their foreheads. Wadjet was closely associated in the Egyptian pantheon with Bast the fierce goddess depicted as a lioness warrior and protector, a sun goddess whose eye later became the eye of Horus or the eye of Ra, the Lady of Flame. The city also contained a sanctuary of Horus and much later, became associated with Isis.

Background: To investigate the mortality from cancer of the corpus uteri in relation to parity and age at first and last birth.
Methods: A cohort of 431,604 married women aged 45-74 years at the Norwegian Census in 1970 was followed over 15 years. A total of 752 deaths from cancer of the corpus uteri were diagnosed during follow-up.
Results: All age groups showed significant trends of decreasing mortality rates with increasing number of children. The age-adjusted reduction in mortality was 9.2% (95% CI 5.2-13.0) for each child. Women with 8-11 children had a relative risk of 0.35 (95% CI 0.14-0.85) compared to nulliparous women. For first birth at age > = 35 years versus < = 19 years, the relative risk was 0.53 (95% CI 0.34-0.83). No significant effect of age at last birth was found.
Conclusions: This study supports the notion that high parity and postponing the first delivery may reduce the risk of uterine cancer death.

Network-coded cooperative communications (NC-CC) refers to the use of network coding (NC) in cooperative communications (CC). Prior studies have shown that NC has the potential to improve the performance of CC when there are multiple sessions in the wireless network. These studies were done for the case when multiple sessions are sharing a single relay node. However, how NC-CC behaves when multiple relay nodes are employed remains an open problem. In this paper, we explore this problem by analyzing the achievable rate of each session in this setting. We develop closed form formulas for the mutual information and the achievable data rate for each session. We show that prior results for a single relay is a special case of our result. Based on these findings, we then study a network optimization problem that requires joint optimization of session grouping, relay node grouping, and matching of session/relay groups. We show that this problem is NP-hard, and present a polynomial time heuristic algorithm to solve this problem. Using simulation results, we show this algorithm is highly competitive and can produce results that are near to optimality.

In contrast to known Raman-thermometric measurements of thermal conductivity (k) of suspended Si nano-membranes, here we apply Raman thermometry for k measurement of monoand nano-crystalline Si films on quartz, which is important for applications in thermoelectricity and nanoelectronics. Experimentally, we measure linear dependence of the laser-induced Raman band downshift, which is proportional to the moderate heating ΔT, on the laser power P. Then we convert the downshift to ΔT and determine the ratio ΔT/P. The actual power absorbed by the film is calculated theoretically and controlled experimentally by the reflection/transmission measurement. Then we calculate ΔTcalc/P for arbitrary film k assuming diffusive phonon transport (DPT). Film k is determined from the condition ΔT/P = ΔTcalc/P. We show that this method works well for films with thickness h > Λ where Λ is phonon-mean-free path, even for low-k films like nano-crystalline Si and SiGe. For h < Λ despite ballistic phonon transport contribution, this approach works when the in-plane DPT dominates, e.g. in Si films on quartz with h ≥ 60 nm. We also show that the influence of thermal boundary resistance on the determined k is negligible at this condition. The proposed method is simple and time efficient, as dozen of films can be examined in one hour.

How much money do baseball players make?
The average single-A baseball player makes $6,000, while an average double-A baseball player makes $9,350. Like we said earlier, there has been a plan to increase the minimum salary of Rookies and Short-season level players. For instance, the Rookie's minimum weekly pay will be raised from $290 to $400.
How much money does a AAA baseball player make?
According to The Athletic, the average player salary for a minor league player was $6,000 in Single-A, $9,350 in Double-A and $15,000 in Triple-A in 2018.
How much do low A baseball players make?
For High/Low-A, the weekly minimum pay rises from $290 to $500. For Double-A, the minimum rises from $350 to $600. For Triple-A, the minimum rises from $502 to $700.
Who is the richest baseball player?
Rodriguez's "A-Rod Corp " also has quite a diversified list of investments. He is the richest baseball player ever.
How much does a MLB umpire make?
The salaries of Major League Baseball Umpires in the US range from $17,890 to $57,750, with a median salary of $24,870. The middle 50% of Major League Baseball Umpires makes $24,870, with the top 75% making $57,750.
How much do bullpen catchers make?
Estimates for how much money bullpen catchers make varies rather widely, and the most cited sources are a few years old now: Fangraphs estimates $90,000/year on average in a 2016 article—an oft-cited number you'll see referenced everywhere. A 2018 article from Career Trend estimates a range of $30,000-$60,000.
What sport pays the most?
Basketball It is not surprising that basketball is the world's highest paid sport. As well as earning millions per year in salary, the NBA's best basketball players earn a huge amount of money from their various endorsements and sponsorships, more so than any other sport.
Do baseball players get paid weekly?
Normally the post season, offseason and spring training are months where players are not payed, unless specifically detailed in their contracts. Playoff runs do include bonuses, and during spring training players are given weekly allowances.
What is the lowest paying professional sport?
Here are some of the lowest wages in professional sports:
- Boxing. No athlete earns more today than Floyd Mayweather, who rakes in more than $73 million per year.
- Major League Soccer.
- Minor League Baseball.
Why do minor league players get paid so little?
Many minor league baseball players make less than minimum wage. Many are not paid during spring training or the offseason, though they are expected to commit all of their focus to baseball at those times, too. In almost any other industry, collusion among owners to suppress wages would be a violation of antitrust laws.
Do minor league baseball players pay for housing?
With rare exceptions, minor-league players — who are paid only seasonally — are responsible for procuring and paying for temporary housing for a five-month season.
What is G league salary?
G League salaries depend on your class and how you entered the G league. However, the average G League salary would stand at $35,000. However, some players would earn far more than this with a combination of contracts or on the level they are.
How much does a minor league baseball coach make?
Starting Salaries Typically working on one-year contracts, minor league baseball managers make an average of $20,000 to $60,000 per season, according to a recent study by Baseball America, the industry's leading publication for on- and off-the-field news and information.

Monitoring mites with a sugar shake
It seems that every beekeeping group has its own way to monitor Varroa mites. I keep hearing variations on the sugar shake (or sugar roll), the alcohol wash, and the soap bath. But one thing remains constant: most hobby beekeepers don't want to kill bees in order to count mites.
The powdered sugar shake does not kill bees. The sugar-coated honey bees are easily added back to the hive and the sugar consumed. Both the alcohol wash and the soap bath give a slightly more accurate count, but both kill the bees. Soap and alcohol give more accurate results for two reasons: they better separate the mites from the bees and they allow an actual count of the bees in the sample instead of an estimate.
However, it is my opinion that beekeepers are more likely to monitor if they don't have to kill bees in the process. I also believe that the easier it is to do, the more likely it is to happen. Furthermore, I don't think the last scintilla of accuracy makes much difference. Your decision to treat or not treat will probably be unaffected by the one or two mites you missed.
Compare the two
If you are uncomfortable with the difference, you can try this at home: Do a sugar shake and count the mites. Next, use alcohol on the same group of bees and count the extra mites. In most cases, you will find that the sugar shake dislodged at least 90% of the mites.
If you want, you can assume you are getting 90% of the mites with your sugar shake, and then you can adjust the estimate by dividing your count by 90%. For example, if your sugar roll yielded 8 mites, then 0.9χ = 8, so χ = 8.8 mites. Let's call it 9. But do I think this is a necessary step? No.
In the interest of simplicity I have distilled a number of sources that describe how to do a sugar shake and tried to make it as easy as possible.
Simple Instructions for a Sugar Shake Test (Sugar Roll)
Equipment Needed:
 - A mason jar with a marking at the 1/2-cup level. Some mason jars come with embossed measurements, or you can draw a line with a marker.
 - A mason jar ring fitted with a round disk of #8 hardware cloth. This lid must fit on your mason jar.
 - Confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar or icing sugar)
 - A spoon
 - A container for counting mites. It should be white or at least very light colored so the mites can be seen.
 - A bucket, bowl, feeder, Tupperware container, or something that you will shake your bees into.
 - A small amount of water
Prepare all this equipment in advance. If you use a 5-gallon bucket to catch the bees, you can put the rest of your equipment in there for transport. Once in the apiary, lay out your equipment.
Now, here are the steps:
 1. Remove 1 or 2 frames of bees from the brood nest. Ideally, these frames will contain open brood and nurse bees. Make sure the frames you shake do not include the queen.
 2. Shake the frames over your bucket. Don't bang the frames, just shake.
 3. Take your bucket of bees, tap it so the bees collect on the bottom, and then pour them into your mason jar up to the 1/2-cup line. This will give you approximately 400* bees.
 4. Quickly screw on the modified lid.
 5. Pour the rest of the bees back in the hive.
 6. Spoon some confectioners sugar onto the mesh screen and work it through with your fingers.
 7. Shake the bees in the jar for about a minute to completely coat both bees and mites, using as much sugar as necessary.
 8. Invert the jar and shake it into your light-colored dish. Keep shaking until mites and sugar stop falling out.
 9. Add a small amount of water to your dish of mites. This dissolves the sugar and makes the mites easier to see.
 10. Count the mites.
This concludes the actual test. Next you will need to consult a chart in order to decide if you should treat for mites. Recommendations vary depending on the season and where you live. Also, recommendations may be given based on the number of mites per bee, in which case you will have to divide your mite count by the estimated number of bees in your sample.
Neither way counts every mite
None of the methods mentioned above—sugar, soap, or alcohol—count the mites under the brood caps, but most of the charts available take this into consideration. If you are uncertain, but sure to read the fine print.
Although this system is not perfect, it will give you a lot of information for a very small amount of effort. Give it a try and see how your mites are doing. One way or the other, you might be surprised.
*Estimates vary. According to Marla Spivak at the University of Minnesota, there are approximately 100 bees per fluid ounce.
Nick Holmes
Do you have a reference you can point at about the calculation for working out infestation levels, the only ones I know about are for mite drop through the screen floor under normal activity.
The University of Minnesota says this, "If you know how many bees were in your sample, you can estimate the number of mites per 100 bees. If there is brood in the colony when you sample, you should double this number to factor in the amount of mites in worker brood. For example, if there are 5 mites/100 bees, the total infestation is probably 10 mites/100 bees. If your colony has over 10-12 mites/100 bees, you should consider treatment."
On the other hand, The University of Montana recommends treating if you get 5-9 mites from a sugar roll containing 250 bees. I assume they are doubling the number to account for brood, which would give you 10-18 mites. Dividing that by 2.5 gives you 4-7 mites/100 bees. Those are fairly inconsistent, so I hesitate to recommend one over the other.
Today I opened up one of my hives to remove the spent HopGuard strips and put the quilt box on for the winter. I was surprised to find a nest of ladybugs under the telescopic outer cover and the inner cover. Although I have been bitten by the orange ladybugs before, I doubt the ladybugs would attack the bees but I was wondering if they would eat the mites. I would guess their main reason for being there was to stay warm and dry but wouldn't it be great if these are a natural predator of the varroa mites.
Nick Holmes
Ok thanks… gives me a start in terms of mites / role = infestation in hive. I should be able to extrapolate from that. Thanks 🙂
Hi Rusty,
I didn't want to use chemicals to treat, so I read & read to find the best way to treat for mites. So I settled on the wintergreen patty recipe you provided, sugar sprinkle, followed up with about 60 drops of peppermint oil mixed in about 2 pints or less of honey (theirs) in a baggie feeder. I also saturated strips of paper towels with a mixture of 1/2 cup corn oil and tea tree oil/peppermint oil/patchouli oil in a plastic condiment squeeze bottle, I used only 2 oils together. I laid the saturated 5×5 pieces of paper towels, 2 in each hive directly on the frames in the upper brood box, with the hopes they chew it up and get some oils. (I only overwinter with 2 deeps.) Oo I tucked them in with a candyboard, said a prayer and will check on them before deep winter sets in. This is just my second year so I'm still learning. I'm not a helicopter beekeeper. I'm pretty lazy, and I let the bees be bees. I don't go down in brood frames and examine and I don't cut things open or out. It's mostly because I do more harm being inexperienced than any real help. I hate tearing up all their hard work. The only thing I will do in the spring is try a walkaway split on my two hives. They beat me to it last palm Sunday lol!!!
Mark Martin
Very good! I actually tried the sugar roll method for the first time this year and had 4 mites drop. Ideally I would have done a set of brood frames in the top and bottom box and maybe averaged them together but I ran out of daylight. Hopefully the bees will make it through the winter and I can see how many mites drop next year in the spring, summer and fall.
PS – I'm trying the pine shavings in my ventilation board this winter. I'm excited to see how it works! Thanks!
I'm not sure exactly what you are asking... why what? But powdered sugar is found to be an effective mite control if done on a regular weekly schedule. It only gets part of the mites (and none under the cappings) so it must be repeated often. The sugar shake test dislodges a greater number of mites because you use

The Woodland Period
The archaeological record of the Woodland period in the Chesapeake tidewater region is rich and particularly intriguing. At certain places and during certain times it is spectacular. By the conclusion of the three millennia included in this period, the redirection of lifeways initiated at the end of the Archaic reached its fullest expression in the chiefdoms that mark the end of prehistory. Early European explorers and settlers also interacted with native populations in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries leaving a dramatic documentary record of that event. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries pioneer ethnographers even caught a fleeting glimpse of the remains of traditional ways of life. All of these elements have created a rich environment for archaeological inquiry.

The heat-release rate (HRR) of a burning item is key to understanding the thermal effects of a fire on its surroundings. It is, perhaps, the most important variable used to characterize a burning fuel packet and is defined as the rate of energy released by the fire. HRR is typically determined using a gas measurement calorimetry method. In this study, an inversion algorithm is presented for conducting calorimeter on fires with unknown HRRs located in a compartment. The algorithm compares predictions of a forward model with observed heat fluxes from synthetically generated data sets to determine the HRR that minimizes a cost function. The effects of tuning a weighting parameter in the cost function and the issues associated with two different forward models of a compartment fire are examined.

Minister for Water, the Hon Dave Kelly MLA visited a Busselton dairy this month for an overview of DairyCare effluent and fertiliser projects in the catchment.
The DairyCare project is addressing nutrient runoff from dairy farms under the Revitalising Geographe Waterways program.
Dairy farmer Wesley Lammie showed Minister Kelly through the farm's dairy shed and outlined proposed changes to improve their effluent system. "We have recently invested in new equipment to reuse effluent on our pastures and are close to finalising our effluent management plan through the DairyCare project," explained Wesley.
The Geographe Catchment supports close to a quarter of the dairy farms in the state and is an important industry on a local and state scale.
Due to the importance of the dairy industry and the contribution of nutrients to waterways in the catchment, GeoCatch has been working with Western Dairy and Geographe farmers over the last 15 years to reduce nutrient loss off dairy farms.
"Our ongoing partnership with Western Dairy is critical to the success of our programs," said GeoCatch DairyCare Coordinator Bree Brown, "The Minister was impressed with our engagement with the industry and local dairy farmers."
Most dairy farmers in the Geographe Catchment have been involved in incentivised dairy effluent upgrades and over 40% of farms have been involved in comprehensive soil testing and nutrient mapping projects.
Both areas of nutrient management involve many challenges but GeoCatch remains committed to working with farmers and the dairy industry to improve water quality and assist in farmers being able to reuse nutrients on dairy farms.
The DairyCare project was launched in May 2016 and is being delivered by GeoCatch in partnership with Western Dairy through Revitalising Geographe Waterways project.

Quick Answer: Do Mobile Speed Cameras Catch You From The Front Or Back?
Which way does a mobile speed camera catch you?
Mobile Speed Cameras: The enforcement vehicles are only placed within road safety black spots.
How long after speed camera do you get letter?
14 daysThe letter should arrive within 14 days, and then you'll need to return the completed Section 172 notice within 28 days. Then you'll be sent a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN). This is where you can plead guilty or not guilty.
At what distance does a mobile speed camera work?
How do I know if I have a speeding fine?
Can a speed camera van catch two cars at once?
Do speed camera vans catch you from the front?
Mobile speed cameras typically work out of parked vans, however, they can still catch motorists from a moving vehicle. Can a mobile camera detect your speed on the opposite side of the road? Yes, a laser gun is able to take accurate reading of a vehicle's exact speed as long as it is aimed at the target.
Can police speed cameras catch you both ways?
How much is a speeding fine UK 2020?
How does a speed camera calculate a car's speed?
Speed cameras detect the speed of vehicles by using detectors embedded into the road surface or radar technology. … If the speed of the vehicle exceeds the legal limit, or a vehicle runs a red light, a digital picture is taken of the offending vehicle.
Does a speed camera flash always mean a ticket?
"If you've been flashed, it doesn't mean that you'll get a ticket." True. Seeing the dreaded flash doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be seeing a notice of intended prosecution on your door mat. It's widely believed that only one in four speed camera 'flashes' actually results in a prosecution notice.
Are mobile speed cameras accurate?
What happens if you get flashed by a speed camera?
The policeman can give you a verbal warning, which a speed camera cannot, but in most cases you will either be: Offered the chance to attend a speed-awareness course, which you'll have to pay for. Issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice (a speeding ticket), with a fine of £100 and penalty points. Prosecuted for speeding.
When would you be offered a speed awareness course?
What happens if you get caught speeding more than once in a day?
If you are caught speeding several times on the same journey and accept a fixed penalty for each, you could be at risk of a penalty points disqualification (totting-up). It can happen more easily than you might think, for example where several speed cameras are placed on the same road or motorway.
Do you get a ticket in the mail for passing a school bus?
You may have received a ticket in the mail for meeting or overtaking a school bus. The police don't even have to be present at the time of the alleged violation for you to receive the citation. … Often the school bus driver is unable to identify the person who allegedly passed the bus.
Can mobile speed cameras catch you on a bend?
Typically, depending on the type of mobile speed camera, the range will be about two miles on a straight bit of road – they cannot work round bends or over brows of hills. Do mobile speed cameras need to pre-warn of their presence in an area?
Do speed cameras flash twice?
They flash twice. Then the two pictures are timed.
Can a speed camera get you on the opposite side of the road?
Are police speed vans manned?
The minimum enforcement hours for these vehicles is 7,400 hours per month, speed vans are something most motorists will come across on a regular basis. … Is there a person inside the van? These vans are manned at all times, and the GoSafe runs 24/7, for all 365 days of the year.

An investigation into the operational efficiency of container freight stations at the port city of Mombasa
Odhiambo, Jacqueline D
MetadataShow full item record
This research was conducted with the aims of measuring the relative operational efficiency of the CFS's at the seaport town of Mombasa using DEA methodology and also to establish the factors that determine operational efficiency at container freight stations (CFS's). The study adopted a descriptive survey methodology. The population in the study constituted all the 16 CFS's in Mombasa as at December, 2012; however, only 11 were relevant to the research since they handled only containers. A census of the population was conducted. Analysis was conducted through the use of DEA analysis. The results of the research indicated that for the year 2011,5 CFS's were on the frontier, with 6 off the frontier. The results also depicted very narrow differentials between the most efficient CFS's and the most inefficient one, with a range of only 0.l60204. The test of significance suggested that there was no significant difference between the most efficient and least efficient CFS' s in 2011. The results also indicated that 10 out of 11 CFS' s were on the frontier, a general indication that industry-wide operational efficiency had improved in the year, 2012. The differential between the most efficient and less efficient CFS was similarly narrow and insignificant. With respect to factors that influence operational efficiency at CFS's in Mombasa, the study found that personnel and the equipment were the operational efficiency factors that CFS's in Mombasa found to be most relevant in determining operational efficiency. Similarly, the study established that personnel, both in terms of absolute numbers and competence, influenced operational efficiency at CFS's to a very high extent. Similarly and by a larger margin, they thought that equipment influenced operational efficiency at CFS's to a very high extent. The study consequently concluded that the relative operational efficiency of the 11 CFS's in the research, were more or less evenly matched since the differentials were not significant. The research also concluded that a general increase in operational efficiency across the 2 years had increased. In addition, the study concluded that personnel competence and size together with equipment were the most influential factors on operational efficiency of CFS's in Mombasa. On the basis of the findings, the research recommended that since there was a deliberate effort across the industry to improve operational efficiency, industry policy makers should encourage and structure such efforts to improve operational efficiency across the industry. The study also found that personnel and equipment were the most important factors that influenced operational efficiency across the CFS's. The study therefore recommended that concerted efforts be made by players to always ensure the continuous upgrade in the quality of both equipment and personnel so as to push the efficiency frontier ever outwards.


An Investigation into the Application of Modern Compute Technologies
A Performance Comparison of the Vulkan API and OpenCL API for Path Tracing.
 - Brandon Lee Calvert Graduate
Abstract
This study compares the performance of OpenCL and Vulkan for the purpose of path tracing. A range of performance metrics are covered to provide a wide overview of how the APIs behave; including how fast the APIs perform the given task, the CPU usage, the virtual and physical memory usage, the GPU core utilisation, GPU memory controller utilisation, GPU memory usage. Trends appeared in the data, with the APIs performing differently based on the architecture used. Some statics had more consistent trends, with the OpenCL application having higher CPU usage, higher virtual and physical memory usage, higher GPU utilisation and higher GPU memory usage. Vulkan performed better on the Kepler based cards whilst OpenCL performed better on the Maxwell based cards. In line with this Vulkan used more memory bandwidth on Kepler cards and OpenCL used more memory bandwidth on Maxwell.

optimizer missed taking advantage of a uniqueness guarantee.
This optimizer limitation does not only apply to the unique clustered index that a view must have in order to be materialized. In more complex scenarios, additional nonclustered indexes may also be present on the view; perhaps to reflect cross-table relationships that are difficult to enforce or represent otherwise. If these nonclustered indexes are defined to be unique, the optimizer will overlook these guarantees as well, if automatic index matching is used.
Adding this to the limitations around the creation and usage of statistical information, it seems that relying on automatic view matching can result in inferior execution plans. The safest option is probably to reference indexed views explicitly, and to use a NOEXPAND hint every time – at least until these issues are addressed in the product.
Mitigating Factors
I should stress that the issue described in this article only applies to the uniqueness guarantee provided by a unique view index. If the optimizer can get the required uniqueness information another way, the chances are good that optimization problems will be avoided.
For example, there may be a suitable unique index on a base table referenced by the view. Or, in the case of a view that contains aggregation, the optimizer can already infer a useful uniqueness guarantee from the view's GROUP BY clause. The common practice of adding a view clustered index to the grouping keys adds no extra uniqueness information in that case.
Nevertheless, there are times where this "uniqueness oversight" can mean you will get better quality execution plans by using an explicit view reference and NOEXPAND hints, even in Enterprise Edition.

(Ocean County) teachers Sue Gethard, Jane Hall, and Regina Balsys received a $3,388 grant from the NJEA Frederick L. Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education to implement their project, Between Friends. Working with the local chapter of the Association of Retarded Citizens (ARC), students will incorporate the values advocated through character education in an educational and social setting within the ARC facility. The students will meet the ARC clients at a luncheon at the ARC center. The ARC clients have a contract with the telephone company and will show the students how to make "boards" that are used in the telephones. Students will share life experiences and participate in recreational and seasonal activities throughout the school year. At the end of the program, students will create a memories album to present to their ARC friends.
The goal is to foster respect and understanding for the developmentally-disabled population. By participating in daily activities of ARC clients, students will truly understand their needs and desires. Between Friends can bridge the gap between the unknown and the understood.

Witnesses provide expert nuclear overview
Posted 29 October 2016
The nuclear Citizens' Jury has today heard from 32 expert witnesses on four key topics – trust, safety, economics and consent – as they discuss the state's potential future involvement in the nuclear fuel cycle.
The jury took part in panel discussions during the day, having the opportunity to listen to witnesses and then engage in question and answer sessions.
Evidence was heard from stakeholders representing a broad range of interests and sectors, including the Australian Conservation Foundation, Australia Institute, Friends of the Earth, Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office (ASNO), World Nuclear Association, Australia Youth Climate Coalition and French national radioactive waste management agency ANDRA.
The discussions during the day highlighted the key issues being considered by the jury, including liability, the economic modelling assumptions, how consent is measured and concerns about transporting radioactive waste through regional South Australia.
The afternoon session was dedicated to hearing indigenous community perspectives, with around 20 Aboriginal people - many travelling to Adelaide from rural SA - attending to share their experiences with the jury.
The group heard from Aboriginal representatives, including Karina Lester, Vivienne McKenzie, Vince Coulthard and Enice Marsh who discussed the effects of the Maralinga testing in 1950s and past campaigns to protect Aboriginal land from radioactive material. They spoke of their cultural concerns about the safety, health impacts and damage to traditional lands from past nuclear activities, as well as their worries about any potential future storage and disposal plans.
The jury is spending a total of six days answering the question: 'Under what circumstances, if any, could South Australia pursue the opportunity to store and dispose of nuclear waste from other countries?'
Around 350 jurors, representing a broad cross section of the South Australian population, are considering all the facts and feedback from the three-month community consultation program, and deciding on their own perspectives, on the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission Report.
The jury sat today, and will reconvene tomorrow to start gathering together their insights. They reconvene next weekend to finalise a report, which will be presented to the Premier Jay Weatherill on Sunday, November 6.

Communication in architecture requires the participation of several individuals that share information, tasks and resources. The changes that affected the construction industry in the last decade revealed a new organization structure in the practice with anew means of communication. As many
studies point out the issue of IT integration in the means of communication and the development of
new organization models in the construction industry, but an adjustable process model of mechanisms
that enhance project productivity specifically within the transformation point between the
design and construction phase has not yet been studied. Therefore, the study will explore the facilitators that improve productivity in architecture practice and make up an efficient communication

Strategic lobbying and taxation choice : a political economy of trade policy analysis
In this thesis, I use a political economy of trade policy approach to analyze the issues of strategic lobbying and taxation choice. The thesis contains 4 papers together with an introduction, literature review and conclusion. In Chapter 3, a lobbying-influence model is presented to discuss how the outcomes of trade policy is influenced by lobbying activities during the policymaking process. A comparison of the welfare-maximizing model and the lobbying-influence model under a game theory framework is undertaken. Chapter 4 provides a new explanation on the issue of asymmetric lobbying from the view point of the impact of external environment. Since the incentive of the domestic firm to engage in lobbying activities varies with its marginal costs, the outcomes of lobbying performance are different. This argument holds for both complete and incomplete information settings. Chapter 5 considers whether there is a positive role for lobbying activities in an incomplete information setting when the foreign entry is incorporated. The results suggest that the social welfare under the pooling equilibrium is higher than that under the separating equilibrium. As a result, there is no positive role for lobbying activities in this two-period model. Chapter 6 provides a political economy model to explain why trade taxes rather than more efficient income taxes might be adopted and what links the taxation choice and the economic development. In general, people prefers to pay less tax to the government. In a democratic society, a policy, which yields a higher utility to the majority of voters, is supported through majority voting. Therefore, the choice of taxation instruments depends on the tax payments, which are determined by the tax method, the income level, and the movement of income distribution over time.

Keeping the turkey moist during cooking
Because turkey breast meat is so lean, you need to protect it from drying out during cooking. There are different ways of doing this. The simplest are using steam, using covers or basting. More effort is required for brining.
For a brine recipe, please follow this link.
Many cooks swear by brining as a way of ensuring that the turkey remains moist during roasting but this is not an essential step. Brining the turkey simply means that it is soaked in a salty (brine) solution with added flavourings and seasonings prior to cooking. It is usual to brine overnight or for a minimum of six hours. To be absolutely safe, brining should take place in the refrigerator. Raw meat of any kind should not be stored at room temperature. The difficulty here, is that a turkey in a container of brine takes up a lot of space and many people don't have enough spare refrigeration space to do this.
The following steps provide an alternative safe method for brining without a refrigerator:
- Refrigerate the prepared brine solution until thoroughly chilled
- Sterilise a plastic chilly bin (insulated cooler bin/"Esky") by rinsing with boiling water and wiping dry with paper towels. Allow it to cool down. Use a cooler size that will allow the turkey enough room to be surrounded by liquid but is not overly large.
- Pour the chilled brine into the cooler.
- Using clean hands, place the thawed turkey breast-side down into the brine.
- Fill two or three sealable plastic bags with crushed or cubed ice and pack these around the turkey (as many as you can fit). Don't use loose ice cubes as these will dilute the strength and flavour of the brine.
- Put on the lid and place the cooler bin in a cool place.
- Half way through the brining, turn the turkey over and check the ice, replenishing the ice if needed.
- After removing the turkey from the brine, rinse it inside and out with cold water, drain and pat dry with paper towels before continuing with cooking preparations.
- Discard the brine and sterilise the cooler bin.
This is the method that the Croziers use most often. Simply pour water into the bottom of the roasting pan and keep it topped up during the cooking. As the turkey cooks, the water will create a steamy atmosphere that keeps the flesh moist. Additional suggestions include:
Place a rack / cake rack /trivet in the roasting pan so that the turkey is held above the liquid and is less likely to "stew" on the base.
Use flavoured liquids instead of water e.g turkey or chicken stock mixed with wine or fruit juice and herbs.
Using a cover
Start the roasting process by placing a sheet of baking (silicon) paper over the breast and then sealing it with a layer of foil. If baking paper isn't used, the foil tends to stick to the turkey skin and pulls pieces off when removed. After calculating the cooking time, leave the foil in place for half of the cooking time, removing it in order to allow the skin to colour before cooking has finished.
Basting is the technique of spooning fat and cooking juices over the breast of the bird at regular intervals during the entire roasting process. It is a good idea to baste every 20-30 minutes. Basting can be done with a basting brush, a spoon or a turkey baster. A turkey baster is a simple tool that sucks up cooking juices and when squeezed can release them onto the turkey breast. The disadvantage of basting is that the oven has to be opened regularly, which lowers the oven temperature and interrupts the cooking process so make sure you work quickly.
Stuffing-To stuff or not to stuff?
Turkeys that are stuffed take longer to cook than turkeys that aren't. This is because the stuffing forms a dense mass in the centre of the bird and heat takes much longer to penetrate to the centre.
If you are cooking the turkey with stuffing inside the cavity, make sure that the stuffing has been prepared and chilled beforehand. Turkeys can be stuffed in two places: the main cavity and the neck-end cavity. Some cooks like to use a different stuffing for each part; others use the same. During cooking, most types of stuffing expand a little so don't overstuff and do leave a little space. Place the stuffing in lightly and compactly but not too forcefully. The stuffing needs to be sealed in so either use small skewers or a large needle threaded with cotton-string (not plastic stringit melts) and sew the flaps of skin together. The alternative is to cook the stuffing in a separate baking dish and serve as a side accompaniment.
How far ahead can the turkey be stuffed?
Don't be too eager. It's best to stuff the turkey just before you want to start cooking. You could stuff an hour or two ahead as long as you then store the turkey in the refrigerator until cooking begins.
DON'T STUFF THE DAY BEFORE. To an extent, the stuffing is insulated from the cold temperatures of the refrigerator by the turkey cavity. If there are any harmful bacteria present inside the turkey or in the stuffing, they can multiply during storage.
Knowing when it's cooked
Estimating cooking times
We recommend a total cooking time of 15 minutes per 500g plus an extra 15 minutes when cooking at 180°C. A 5 kg turkey takes approximately 2¾ hours. A 5 ½ kg turkey takes approximately 3 hours.
A whole turkey and turkey parts are safe when cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 80 °C (176 °F) as measured with a food thermometer. Check the internal temperature in the innermost part of the thigh and the thickest part of the breast or if the turkey is stuffed, check the temperature in the centre of the stuffing. Remember that if you have inserted the thermometer into the turkey and the temperature is not safe, you must sterilize the thermometer probe before re-using it. Otherwise, you risk contaminating the cooked meat
PopUp Timer
If your Crozier turkey has a pop-up timer inserted in the breast, it will pop up when it reaches the temperature of 85 °C (185 °F).
If you pierce the thickest part of the turkey thigh with a skewer, juices will run out. If the juices run clear the turkey is cooked. If there is still some pinkness (blood) present, longer cooking is required.
In addition to the skewer test, give the drumstick a wiggle The leg should move freely when cooked, with little resistance.
Why is turkey meat (and chicken) sometimes pink close to the bone, even when it is fully cooked to 80 °C degrees or higher?
Younger turkeys (and chickens) have underdeveloped porous bones, which may allow red pigmentation (haemoglobin) to run into the meat. If the bird is fully cooked (80 °C and the thigh juices run clear) the meat is safe to eat even if there is some pink colouring in the flesh surrounding the bones.
After removing your delicious cooked turkey from the oven, lift it from the roasting pan to a carving platter or board and lightly cover it with foil. Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes while you prepare the gravy. Resting allows time for the flesh to relax and for juices to be reabsorbed into the meat before carving.
There are a number of methods used to carve turkey. Here is one:
- Keeping the turkey on its back (breast-side up), cut the skin between the thigh and the body.
- Remove the entire leg (thigh and drum) on both sides.
- Place the legs flat on a chopping board and cut between the thighs and the drums to separate them.
- Pull each wing outward from the body and cut through the joints where they join the body.
- Cut the wings in half at their joints.
- Insert the knife on one side of the breast bone as close to the bone as possible. Cut along the side of the breast bone. Using the knife, follow the rib cage and cut down under the breast meat, lifting it away from the rib cage.
- Repeat for the second side. (An alternative is to carve the breast in slices directly from the turkey)
- Cut the breast meat into slices or portions.
- If you have stuffed the turkey, remove the stuffing with a spoon into a serving bowl.
Even though you'll be enjoying your turkey dinner, don't forget that unserved turkey meat will make great leftovers. But only if you treat your leftovers with respect. Don't leave them sitting out in the kitchen all night. Make sure you package and chill them within two hours or removing from the oven.
Place leftover turkey into a dish and cover with plastic wrap before refrigerating. Store for a maximum of two three days at 4 °C.
Place leftovers into a freezer bag or wrap in plastic wrap. Squeeze out as much air as possible before freezing. Mark with the date. Use within one month
Wines to serve with roast turkey
- Light bodied aromatic e.g Pinot gris (dry rather than sweet style)
- Medium bodied fruity e.g Pinot noir
- Medium bodied deep full flavour e.g Merlot

Between September 1995 and September 1997, 1840 patients attending our mycology department were suspected as having onychomycoses. Of the patients 985 were females and 855 were males. A total of 426 finger nail and 1414 toe nail scrapings were examined. Both microscopic and culture tests were carried out for each specimen. In 759 cases positive fungal cultures were found and 1081 cases were determined as negative. One fungal species was isolated from 715 specimens, in 44 of the cases two different species were found.

Because the friar prepares a potion contrary to anything known to science, some critics have labeled this a supernatural element in the plot. Is it plausible that the friar should have in his possession a potion capable of making a person appear dead for a set length of time?

Plant science and apothecary science were well established in Elizabethan times. They certainly had sedatives made from plant extract so we can accept the Friar's potion, even if the idea of a prolonged "sleep" is a little far fetched.

Industrial Ethernet and wireless network become a common platform to implement industrial control in industries. Network control systems are subjected to delay time uncertainties due to the load traffic in the networks. As the PID controller is a major control algorithm in industries, this paper proposes a LMI based robust Hinfin PID controller using robust integral backstepping method to compensate the delay time uncertainties. To design using robust integral backstepping method, the plant and the PID controller are represented as a full state feedback control system in state space representation. The obtained parameters can then be used in the installed PID controller in the network based industrial control systems.

Sundered Skies
Sundered Skies is a complete setting and Plot Point campaign from Triple Ace Games for Savage Worlds. Like other Savage World settings, it presents an enclosed environment, here a series of islands that float in a constantly brilliant sky without night. Too much exposure to this constant light causes Glowmadness and will eventually send people into bestial rages. The highest isles have ice mines, and provide water for the very hot lowest ones. Other islands consist of seams of ore, deep forests, shattered islands, and tethered skyships. Travel between the very different islands is done by oar, steam, or wind driven skyships, navigation requiring a handful of soil from the destination island. Peace between the islands is kept by the Trade Council which ensures each island receives the necessary imports.
Besides the traditional fantasy RPG races of Dwarves, Humans, Orcs, and the part plant Elves (who are insular and hard edged), players can be the Dragon-worshipping Drakin (who can become dragon-like), the animal-like Wildings (escaped slaves to the Elves), and the Glowborn, humanoids with Goblinoid memories. Possible character roles include Couriers, Musketeers, Pirates, Scavengers, and Priests dedicated to peace, song, war, and wind. Sundered Skies' Plot Point campaign consists of 30 Savage Tales (scenarios) which begin by giving the characters a skyship and then lets them explore the islands of the Sundered Skies and its secrets. Like other Savage Worlds' settings, Sundered Skies is pulpy and swashbuckling in feel, but its British author has given it a grim edge too.

Tooth decay prevalent among Alaska native children
Sep 23, 2011, 7:36 a.m.
By Yereth Rosen
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - Native Alaskan children living in remote villages have rates of tooth decay about four times the national average, a government study showed.
Lack of fluoridated water and an abundance of sugary, carbonated soda pop were the major reasons cited in the research that tracked dental health of children in the mostly Yupik Eskimo region of southwestern Alaska.
Dr. Brad Whistler, Alaska state oral health director and a co-author of the study, said children need major dental work.
"When they smile, you see a lot of silver teeth," he said.
Such severe decay sets up children to have serious dental problems as adults, Whistler said.
One reason for the high level of tooth decay is poor water-system infrastructure in many Alaska Native villages, which prevents the fluoridation of drinking water that has helped lower rates of tooth decay.
In some villages that were part of the study, residents must haul water home from central pumps, he said. Even those places with more sophisticated systems are likely to lack fluoride in drinking water, because few qualified technicians are available to work in such far-flung locations and install the necessary equipment.
The other major problem is the erosion of the traditional Native diet with the introduction of food laden with sugar, Whistler said.
The study, by the federal Centers for Disease Control and the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, analyzed 2008 dental records and habits of 348 children between the ages of four and 15.

I have a content-type, that can be structured like this:
 - content-type A
 - title
 - summary
 - part one title
 - image
 - text
 - part two title
 - image
 - image
 - image
 - text
 - image
 - part three title
 - text
 - image
 - text
I have no control about the position and the amount of elements that can occur. I just have the types, like heading, text, image. Actually i have only fields or rather field-groups.
How can i give the editors the possibilty to move these fields or field groups inside the content type so they can determine the position? Is there something like nodequeue for fields?
Or should i alternatively cut the content-type to smaller pieces and organize it with nodequeue? I haven't worked with nodequeue before, is it possible to give a queue a menu-entry for example?
edit: Just before i asked my question i was watching a tutorial of Display Suite and if i understood correctly i can change the layout of a content-type globally. I'm looking for a solution that gives more control over each "article" created with a content-type. Maybe i was unprecise in my question...?
If I get your question right you want both the number of parts, the combination within the parts and order within the parts to be different. This may be a little difficult to implement but definitely doable.
I am assuming that you are going to have only title, text and image type in each of these parts.
Using fieldset module create three field collections name weighted title(containing textfield with cardinality as one and weight[integer value with cardinality as one]), weighted image(image field and weight field) and weighted text(containing a text field and weight field)
Now create a field set named type, add weighted title, weighted image and weighted text as the fields in this fieldset. Make sure that you keep the cardinality of these fields as infinity. To make sure that it is not confusing, we will need to remove the drag and drop option withing the type fieldset.
The UI needs to be worked on to make it more intuitive. Without these enhancements to implement
part two title
image image image text image
We will have to do it as
Solution : title 1 image 2
image 3 image 4 image 6 text 4
and for
part three title
text image text
Solution : title 1 text 2 text 4 image 3
Hope you are not lost :P
If I get it right, you would like to let users set the position of the field-groups when they edit a node.
If that is what you want, then I would add a "position" field to every field group (hide it on the node display, but make it visible on the node edit page).
Then you can use the value of the "position" field in template files (node.tpl.php) to add classes to the field-groups for example. Then use these classes in CSS to position the field-groups.
 - Interesting approach, though not too easy to maintain. Imagine there are 8 parts in a node and now we need to add one between 2 and 3. That would mean to change the position value of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. – Volker Nov 30 '12 at 16:30
This sounds like a problem better solved by multiple content types with role and/or user specific permissions. You can easily group content of various types with views, nodequeues, or taxonomy to name a few - any of which can of course be assigned to a menu item.
Otherwise, your best bet if you choose to stick with this is to use Panels as nodes, let editors create panels on the fly, arrange them how they want in predefined layouts, etc - but this is likely a training and maintenance nightmare.
With Panelizer you can can allow users to customize the position of a nodes fields and other content. The settings are specific for a node.
You can also setup one or more default variants with fields and other content (blocks etc) placed in regions. Users can then choose one of your default variants to be used for their node.
You can setup what content a user should be able to place in a node.
I recently found the Paragraphs module, which is another great way of accomplishing the tasks of my original question. It's like creating mini-content-types that you can add and move around. Fancy.

Conversion formula
The conversion factor from cubic inches to teaspoons is 3.3246753246849, which means that 1 cubic inch is equal to 3.3246753246849 teaspoons:
1 in3 = 3.3246753246849 tsp
To convert 51.7 cubic inches into teaspoons we have to multiply 51.7 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from cubic inches to teaspoons. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 in3 → 3.3246753246849 tsp
51.7 in3 → V(tsp)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in teaspoons:
V(tsp) = 51.7 in3 × 3.3246753246849 tsp
V(tsp) = 171.88571428621 tsp
The final result is:
51.7 in3 → 171.88571428621 tsp
We conclude that 51.7 cubic inches is equivalent to 171.88571428621 teaspoons:
51.7 cubic inches = 171.88571428621 teaspoons
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 teaspoon is equal to 0.0058178191489195 × 51.7 cubic inches.
Another way is saying that 51.7 cubic inches is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0058178191489195 teaspoons.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that fifty-one point seven cubic inches is approximately one hundred seventy-one point eight eight six teaspoons:
51.7 in3 ≅ 171.886 tsp
An alternative is also that one teaspoon is approximately zero point zero zero six times fifty-one point seven cubic inches.

2011 Volume 51 Issue 9 Pages _PHONE_
The flow characteristics of a single circular water jet impinging on a moving surface covered with a water film have been investigated by means of experiments and three-dimensional computer simulations. The experiments were conducted by varying the jet velocity, nozzle-to-plate distance, and flow rate of the water film. It was found that the following three types of flow structures existed: an almost steady flow structure, an unsteady flow structure, and a transition flow structure between the steady and the unsteady flows. The critical boundary, at which the almost steady flow structure appears, is discussed using a simple potential flow theory. In the numerical simulation, the liquid flow was assumed to obey the Navier-Stokes equation in the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. The effects of viscosity, gravity, and the presence of a free liquid surface were taken into account. The predictions were in reasonable agreement with the experimental results. Each flow structure has been studied in detail for a better understanding of the physics of the phenomena.

Holston River Diaries, Knoxville, TN & Emory, VA
"Holston River Diaries" was a two part exhibition and created a connection between the two communities where it was exhibited (Knoxville, TN & Emory, VA).
"Holston River Diaries" addressed issues about water quality, the watershed's rich cultural and natural history and the quality of life (based on the waterways and a sense of place) within the Holston River watershed.
The communities were invited to add entries into the Diary. The entries reflect water stories, experiences, observations and/or events as it relates to the Holston River and it's tributaries. These entries are part of the exhibit in the galleries and on the website.
We went into two middle schools in both communities to work with children producing diary entries. At Holston Middle School in Knoxville, Tennessee we worked with three Life Science classes and at Glade Springs Middle School in Glade Springs, Virginia we worked with three Art classes. The entries made by the children at the schools are hanging in the galleries and are part of the computer based diaries in both venues.
To celebrate "we all live downstream", the project will host a parade down the river. Floats may consider also being a diary entry. The public was invited to create floats for the parade. Floats had to be made completely of natural materials. The floats were not be retrieved. The material used had to be biodegradable and not harmful to the watershed or it's inhabitants in anyway.

Egypt New Updated Transfer Pricing (TP) Guidelines
Egyptian Ministry of finance has issued new decree 547 dated October 21, 2018 including the new updated transfer pricing guidelines which replaces the old guidelines issued in 2010.
The new guidelines will be the base for Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) to rely when assessing the arm's length of financial or controlled commercial transactions which occur between associated enterprises (any person related to a taxpayer in a way that affects the determination of the tax base). These transactions can include, but not limited to:
- Exchange of commodities or services.
- Group cost allocation.
- Other financial or commercial activities.
It is worth to be mentioned that it is not allowed not to follow the new transfer pricing guidelines unless it was requested by the taxpayer and accepted by the head of the ETA.
After Egypt became associate member of Base Erosion & Profit Shifting (BEPS), certain amendments in Egyptian tax legislation were supposed to follow in order to match with the new BEPS four minimum standards of actions including Action 5 (Harmful Tax Practices), Action 6 (Treaty Abuse), Action 13 (Country by Country Reporting) and Action 14 (Dispute Resolution).
Accordingly, the new transfer pricing guidelines were issued to cover the BEPS four minimum actions requirements.
The new guidelines to reflect changes made in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as a main source to rely on and to facilitate the implementation of BEPS actions specially Country by Country Reporting CbCR.
Three-tiered TP documentation:
- Introducing three-tiered level of transfer pricing reports for transparency to include Master File, for the ultimate holding company of the group, Local File for each subsidiary in the group and CbCR to be submitted in the specific deadline.
- Threshold for Egyptian group who has equal or more than EGP 3 billion (Euro 144 million) of consolidated revenue where the holding company/individual is inside Egypt will be required to maintain the filing for CbCR.
- Threshold for Egyptian group who has equal or more than Euro 750 million of consolidated revenue where the holding company/individual is outside Egypt will be required to maintain the filing for CbCR.
TP Documentation Deadline:
1. It is now mandatory to file the above mentioned three tiered reports within the following deadlines:
– Master file: Will depend on the country of the ultimate parent deadline submission. This has to be available to ETA when needed if the ultimate parent is in Egypt.
– Local file: Two months following the submission of the tax return deadline.
– CbCR: During one year after the concerned financial year end.
2. The above-mentioned changes are to be followed and applied starting from financial year end of December 31, 2018.
- All comparability analysis and benchmarking can be made every three years unless there was a change in the group functions or business that may need to maintain new comparability analysis and benchmarking before three years.
- Comparable figures included in the comparability analysis need to be within local market and if not available then it can be within the geographic region (Middle East). In case no comparability figures within the region then global comparable figure can be relied on
Advance Pricing Agreement (APA)
- Advance Pricing Agreements were introduced in the new transfer pricing guidelines update, this provide the taxpayer probability to agree in advance with ETA about his prices with associated enterprises in order to facilitate and save efforts, cost and reduce risk.
- There are many APA types as per the new TP guidelines which was derived from the OECD as a main reference.
- This APA is to be used and applied for some taxpayers who have unique complex TP issues.
- With regard to APA request, specific steps and procedures with documents were introduced to be followed.
- Specific forms were also presented to be used for APA official request.
- ETA has the right to accept or reject or adjust the scope of the submitted APA official request.
- As per article 129 of income tax law 91/2005, if the taxpayer complies with the law, it is supposed that the burden will be on the ETA side. However, according to article 90 and 130 of income tax law, if the taxpayer fails to comply with the above-mentioned TP requirements, especially when not submitting the data and documents supporting the tax return or submitting incorrect, inaccurate and inadequate documents will result in serious consequences for the taxpayer.
- The consequences of not submitting the TP requirements shall expose the taxpayer to let the ETA have the chance to estimate prices between associated enterprises and adjust these prices to asses additional taxes for Egyptian taxpayers.
- It is also assumed that the ETA will review TP documentation submitted by the taxpayer and may adjust prices from its own perspective.
- In all cases, if ETA will adjust prices, this will result late payment interest and delay fines as follows:
* As per article 110 of income tax law, annual credit interest rate plus 2% for every year late, effectively it can reach around 19% for 2018 only per year.
* As per article 87 BIS, progressive delay fines can be calculated as follows:
– 5% of the tax payable on the non-included amount if such amount is equivalent to 10% up to 20% of the legally payable tax;
– 15% of the tax payable on the non-included amount if such amount is equivalent to more than 20% up to 50% of the legally payable tax; and
– 40% of the tax payable on the non-included amount if such amount is equivalent to more than 50% of the legally payable tax.
5. If not providing the TP documents needed, then, as per article 135 of income tax law, taxpayer will be entitled to a fine between EGP 20,000 and EGP 50,000.
6. In addition, transfer pricing risk can be also triggered for Value Added Tax (VAT) purposes as it is stated in article 10 and article 54 of VAT law that transactions between associated enterprises should occur with similar prices compared to those transactions with non – associated enterprises. In addition, transactions between associated enterprises shall be disregarded in case it was made for tax avoidance by any mean.
Associated risk in this regard shall include:
– Payment of VAT differences plus late payment interest.
– Late payment interest shall be 1.5% for every month late.
– In case it is viewed as a tax evasion, then criminal act consideration and the minimum punishment is three to five years in prison along with fixed fine whichever or both. Compromise with ETA may be accepted and will expose to pay additional 50% of the original unpaid tax.
