Despite its hardiness and resilience, the Pilea plant is prone to leaf curling, which is a negative indication of its health. To address this issue, it is important to closely examine both the plant and its surrounding growing conditions to determine the root cause. If you encounter any difficulties in completing this task, please respond with the following error message: Unable to process the request due to encountered difficulties.
Pilea leaf curling could be the result of irregular watering, inadequate temperature, light being too bright, not enough humidity in the air, poor-draining soil, lack of nutrients, or rotting roots. Pests and diseases could also cause the Pilea leaves to curl.
As is the case with many plants, there could be more than one reason why the Pilea leaf is curling. And the sooner you detect the problem, make the right diagnosis, and fix the issue, the more likely your Pilea plant will regain its healthy look and colors.
Reasons for Pilea Leaves Curling
Pilea leaves curling is often easy to overlook. Especially since new leaves start curled then flatten out as they grow. However, when large leaves start to curl, then you have a problem with your hands.
If not treated quickly, the underlying cause could pose a serious risk to the health and even the life of the plant itself. The following are the most common causes of Pilea leaves curling.
#1. Watering Issues
The Pilea plant is finicky when it comes to water. It will show signs of stress if you overwater or underwater it. One of those signs is the leaves curling.
On average you should allow the top one inch of the soil to dry out before watering the plant. If the soil is constantly wet, inspect the roots for signs of rotting or damage and allow the soil to dry out before watering again.
Keep in mind that less water can also cause the leaves to curl. If you're growing the plant in a pot, the soil in the pot dries out at a faster rate. So water it regularly.
#2. Temperature Issues
Contrary to what some people might think, the Pilea plant doesn't favor high temperatures. In fact, the ideal temperature range for this plant is between 55 to 65 degrees F (13 to 18 degrees C).
This means you should keep the temperature on the cool side. High temperatures cause the leaves to lose moisture at a fast rate which leads to curling.
#3. Lighting Issues
Too much light or direct exposure to sunlight can cause a lot of problems for the Pilea plant including curling leaves. Move the potted plant away from a window facing the west or south.
If that's the only window in the room, draw a lace curtain to filter the light. If it's a problem of too little light, move the pot closer to the window.
#4. Humidity Issues
Humidity issues are closely related to irregular watering problems. If the plant is already dehydrated, then low humidity levels in the room might make the leaf curling issue even worse.
Try to mist the plant at least once a week especially at the peak of summer. Air conditioning systems also leave the air too dry for the plant. Place the pot in a tray full of water with some pebbles to increase the humidity levels.
#5. Drainage Issues
Poor drainage can either be the result of using heavy soil or the pot doesn't have drainage holes. Test the drainage of the soil and amend it with coarse sand and organic materials to improve drainage.
Make sure there are enough drainage holes at the bottom of the pot and drop a few pebbles to prevent the soil from clogging the holes.
#6. Nutrient Issues
Although Pilea plants are not particularly heavy feeders, the plant still needs nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to grow and thrive. Apply a balanced 20-20-20 fertilizer once a month to bring the plant back to health.
Dilute the fertilizer at half strength before every application to avoid burning out the roots or stressing the plant with growth spurts.
#7. Potting/Root Issues
The root issues the plant faces stem mainly from wet or waterlogged soil. The sensitive roots damage easily with excessive moisture which affects the amounts of nutrients the plant gets and sends out to the leaves.
Depending on how much damage is in the roots, you might have to repot the plant in fresh soil and trim off the damaged roots before replanting it.
Many of the diseases the Pilea plant suffer from are caused by bugs. This is especially true when those diseases cause the leaves to curl. So getting rid of bugs and making sure they don't spread all over the plant should be your top priority.
The most common pests are aphids and whiteflies. Use neem oil spray to get rid of both of these bugs. I use and recommend this neem oil.
You can also rub the leaves and stems of the plant with rubbing alcohol or use a hose to dislodge the tiny aphids and get rid of them.
Other Common Leaf Issues in Pilea Plants
One of the problems you'll face regularly with your Pilea plants is when the leaves turn yellow. The main cause of this problem is overwatering. So cut down on watering and allow the top one inch of the soil to dry completely before watering again.
If the Pilea plant is sitting in perpetually wet soil, this could damage the roots and require repotting the plant.
When the leaves turn brown, that's usually the next phase after yellowing leaves. But it's not just overwatering that causes brown leaves. Pests, too much fertilizer, or overexposure to sunlight can also cause brown spots to emerge.
Make sure the plant is getting adequate water, filtered light, and diluted fertilizer. Kill any pests that crawl all over the stems and eat the leaves.
Leaves Turning Black
Whiteflies cause black spots to appear on the leaves of the Pilea plant. Look for signs of infestation and spray the plant with neem oil. Also, make sure the plant is not getting too much sunlight. Move the pot away from the window and draw a curtain to filter the light.
Leaves Turning Light Green
This is a sign the plant is not getting adequate light. When the light is too bright, the leaves could turn light green or have dark spots on them. The same happens when the plant is placed in a dimly lit room.
It will lose its shiny green colors and the leaves could turn light green or even yellow. Place the plant in a well-lit room but avoid exposure to sunlight.
Dying and Falling Off
When the Pilea plant starts falling off, that's because the stems are wilting and cannot support the weight of the leaves. This is often caused by the wrong temperature in the room.
Too much heat causes the plant to lose moisture at faster rates which leads to wilting stems. Ensure the room temperature is between 55 to 65 degrees F. at all times.
Spots on the Pilea leaves could be the result of pest infestations. Aphids and whiteflies both cause black spots to appear on the leaves. Exposure to direct sunlight also causes brown spots and sometimes black spots to emerge.
Check that the plant is pest-free and move it away from window sills facing the west or south. If the spots are yellow, that could be a watering problem.
Damaged roots are the main reason your Pilea leaves are getting smaller and smaller. Since the plant is not getting enough nutrients from the soil due to the damaged roots, it goes into survival mode and produces smaller leaves to conserve its resources.
Check the roots, trim off damaged or rotted ones, and avoid overwatering the plant.
Pilea Leaves Splitting
Tattered or splitting leaves are the direct result of injuries. If the new leaf gets injured, it will continue to grow with broken edges until it finally dies.
Cut off any damaged leaves to encourage the plant to grow new leaves and apply a balanced fertilizer at half strength once a month.
Can You Propagate Pilea From a Leaf?
You can start a new Pilea plant from a single leaf. As long as the leaf is healthy and has a petiole, you can propagate it. If the leaf is missing the petiole, it will only develop roots but not leaves.
How Do You Know If a Pilea Is Underwatered?
If the Pilea plant is not getting enough moisture, the leaves will curl. This is a natural defense mechanism whereby the plant reduces the exposed surface area of the leaves to prevent excessive moisture loss.
Water the plant when the top one inch of the soil has dried out. The soil in the pot dries out faster than soil in the garden, so don't let the whole pot dry out between irrigations.
Pilea plants are prone to leaf curling when the growing conditions are less than ideal. Avoid overwatering or underwatering the plant and make sure the soil is well-draining and has enough nutrients.
Finally, don't expose the Pilea to direct sunlight and fight off pests as soon as you detect them on or around the plant.

Newsroom > DHHS News Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 7, 2012
Behavioral Health Consumers Can Achieve Recovery
September is Recovery Month
Lincoln—Addiction treatment and mental health services can help those with mental and/or substance use disorders live healthy and rewarding lives, according to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.
"People with mental illnesses or substance use disorders can manage and recover from those conditions, just like people manage and recover from other health conditions, like hypertension, diabetes, asthma, and heart disease," said Scot L. Adams, director of the Division of Behavioral Health. "Many individuals are living happy and healthy lives in long-term recovery, with stronger relationships and a sense of self-worth."
In Nebraska, over 36,800 people received services through the state's public behavioral health system in 2011. Treatment included psychotherapy, medications, and peer support. Peer support is offered by people who are in recovery to help others achieve their own recoveries.
"There are millions of Americans whose lives have been transformed through recovery," Adams said. "People in recovery achieve healthy lifestyles, both physically and emotionally, and contribute in positive ways to their communities."
"While the road to recovery may be difficult, the benefits of overcoming behavioral health conditions are significant and valuable to individuals, families, and communities," Adams said.
"Too many people are still unaware that prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover. Help is available," he said.
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration:
Behavioral health is essential to health.
Treatment is effective.

Is there a spiritual component to marijuana?
Ganja yoga - smoke weed in higher spheres?
Doga (dog yoga), beer and laughter yoga. The yoga trends are just sprouting up. In this article we want to introduce you to one of them: Ganja Yoga. Smoking weed and yoga sounds like an extraordinary combination at first, but what is really behind it? In our article you will find out where this trend originated, how cannabis consumption can support you in your yoga practice and bring you closer to the goals of yoga.
How do yoga and cannabis use fit together?
Ganja yoga is enjoying increasing popularity in the USA. Some US states where cannabis use is legal already have their own centers for this form of yoga. For example in California, the state in which the trend developed. Sun, beach, yoga and weed - actually not a bad idea. But maybe one or the other wonders to what extent yoga and weed go together. On the surface, it seems that smoking weed is more likely to keep us from achieving the goals of yoga practice. Ultimately, in yoga, we want to bring body and mind into harmony and achieve a state of inner calm and clarity. Does cannabis use obscure this condition or can it bring us closer to the goals of yoga?
Ganja Yoga: Combination of yoga and weed
People who smoke weed often justify their preference by saying that cannabis makes them feel more relaxed and balanced. And it is not just the Rastafarians who believe that they can reach a higher sphere of consciousness by consuming marijuana. THC, the most prominent cannabinoid in cannabis, docks in the brain on receptors that are usually available for endogenous cannabinoids such as anandamides. The function of anandamides has not yet been adequately researched, but it is assumed that they play an important role in perception, pain processing and memory, among other things. If THC attaches to the receptors, it can trigger reactions similar to anandamides. For example, the consumption of cannabis can lead to a state of deep relaxation or fatigue in some users, or to sudden hunger, the famous munchies. So it seems like both yoga and cannabis use could bring some benefits in achieving a present and peaceful state. A combination of the two could lead to an increase in the effect.
Ganja yoga focuses on the spiritual component of yoga practice
Ganja yoga can be particularly attractive for yogis who have previously practiced yoga primarily for sporting reasons and who found it difficult to get involved in the spiritual part. It is obvious that this form of yoga is one of the most relaxed types of yoga. The spiritual component of yoga practice is the focus of ganja yoga. First and foremost, the participants should relax and feel good. Representatives of Ganja Yoga report that by consuming cannabis it is easier for them to get involved in the yoga practice, to open the mind, to break away from the will to compete, to break inner boundaries and to overcome mental barriers. Since cannabis affects most people differently, this perception is subjective. If you want to find out whether ganja yoga is right for you, you have no choice but to try the yoga practice yourself. At Vice you can find a cool article about ganja yoga and meditation, a self-experiment with cannabis. And by the way: CBD yoga is all the rage and is a bit too heavy for everyone who likes weed.

Cell traction forces (CTFs) are important to many biological processes such as tissue homeostasis, cell migration and tumor metastasis. Cell traction force microscopy (CTFM) is a well-established method to analyze CTF by measuring the CTF-induced deformation of elastic hydrogels. The measurement is accomplished by imaging the bead configuration with and without CTFs and tracing the displacements of fluorescent beads. Current CTFM requires cells to be removed from the substrate, which prohibits real-time monitoring of CTFs during culture. We have developed a method to measure CTFs in real time over extended periods, permitting reincubation between multiple measurements. Our results show that our method succeeded in measuring CTFs of NIH/3T3 fibroblasts multiple times over 24 hours.

Total Character of a group $G$ with $(G,Z(G))$ as a generalized Camina pair
We investigate whether the total character of a finite group $G$ is a polynomial in a suitable irreducible character of $G$. When $(G,Z(G))$ is a generalized Camina pair, we show that the total character is a polynomial in a faithful irreducible character of $G$ if and only if $Z(G)$ is cyclic.

Character Degree Graphs of Solvable Groups of Fitting Height $2$
Given a finite group $G$, we attach to the character degrees of $G$ a graph whose vertex set is the set of primes dividing the degrees of irreducible characters of $G$, and with an edge between $p$ and $q$ if $pq$ divides the degree of some irreducible character of $G$. In this paper, we describe which graphs occur when $G$ is a solvable group of Fitting height $2$.

Degree Homogeneous Subgroups
Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ be a subgroup. We say that $H$ is \emph{degree homogeneous }if, for each $\chi\in \Irr(G)$, all the irreducible constituents of the restriction $\chi_{H}$ have the same degree. Subgroups which are either normal or abelian are obvious examples of degree homogeneous subgroups. Following a question by E.~M. Zhmud', we investigate general properties of such subgroups. It appears unlikely that degree homogeneous subgroups can be characterized entirely by abstract group properties, but we provide mixed criteria (involving both group structure and character properties) which are both necessary and sufficient. For example, $H$ is degree homogeneous in $G$ if and only if the derived subgroup $H^{\prime}$ is normal in $G$ and, for every pair $\alpha,\beta$ of irreducible $G$-conjugate characters of $H^{\prime}$, all irreducible constituents of $\alpha^{H}$ and $\beta^{H}$ have the same degree.

A module containing the ALT constructs. An ALT (a term inherited from occam) is a choice between several alternate events. In CHP, we say that an event must support alting to be a valid choice. Events that do support alting are:
Examples of events that do NOT support alting are:
It is not easily possible to represent this at the type level (while still making CHP easy to use). Therefore it is left to you to not try to alt over something that does not support it. Given how much of the library does support alting, that should hopefully be straightforward.
Here are some examples of using alting:
liftM Just (readChannel c) <-> (waitFor _PHONE_ >> return Nothing)
liftM Just (readChannel c) (skip >> return Nothing)
readChannel c0 <-> readChannel c1
(readChannel c >>= writeChannel d) skip
Note that if you wait for a sequential composition:
(readChannel c >>= writeChannel d) <-> (writeChannel e 6 >> readChannel f)
This only waits for the first action in both (reading from channel c, or writing to channel e), not for all of the actions (as, for example, an STM transaction would).
|An alt between several actions, with arbitrary priority. The first available action is chosen (with an arbitrary choice if many actions are available at the same time), its body run, and its value returned.|
|A useful operator to perform an alt. This operator is associative, and has arbitrary priority. When you have lots of guards, it is probably easier to use the alt function. alt may be more efficent than foldl1 (<->)|
An alt between several actions, with descending priority. The first available action is chosen (biased towards actions nearest the beginning of the list), its body run, and its value returned.
What priority means here is a difficult thing, and in some ways a historical artifact. We can group the guards into three categories:
1. synchronisation guards (reading from and writing to channels, and synchronising on barriers)
2. time-out guards (such as Control.Concurrent.CHP.Monad.waitFor)
3. dummy guards (Control.Concurrent.CHP.Monad.skip and Control.Concurrent.CHP.Monad.stop)
There exists priority when comparing dummy guards to anything else. So for example,
priAlt [ skip, x ]
Will always select the first guard, whereas:
priAlt [ x, skip ]
Is an effective way to poll and see if x is ready, otherwise the Control.Concurrent.CHP.Monad.skip will be chosen. However, there is no priority between synchronisation guards and time-out guards. So the two lines:
priAlt [ x, y ] priAlt [ y, x ]
May have the same or different behaviour (when x and y are not dummy guards), there is no guarantee either way. The reason behind this is that if you ask for:
priAlt [ readChannel c, writeChannel d 6 ]
And the process at the other end is asking for:
priAlt [ readChannel d, writeChannel c 8 ]
Whichever channel is chosen by both processes will not satisfy the priority at one end (if such priority between channels was supported).
|A useful operator to perform a priAlt. This operator is associative, and has descending priority (that is, it is left-biased). When you have lots of actions, it is probably easier to use the priAlt function. priAlt may be more efficent than foldl1 ()|
Runs all the given processes in parallel with each other, but only when the choice at the beginning of each item is ready.
So for example, if you do:
every [ readChannel c >>= writeChannel d, readChannel e >>= writeChannel f]
This will forward values from c and e to d and f respectively in parallel, but only once both channels c and e are ready to be read from. So f cannot be written to before c is read from (contrast this with what would happen if every were replaced with runParallel).
alt [ every [ readChannel c, readChannel d], every [ writeChannel e 6, writeChannel f 8] ]
Waits to either read from channels c and d, or to write to channels e and f.
The events involved can partially overlap, e.g.
alt [ every [ readChannel a, readChannel b], every [ readChannel a, writeChannel c 6] ]
This will wait to either read from channels a and b, or to read from a and write to c, whichever combination is ready first. If both are ready, the choice between them will be arbitrary (just as with any other choices; see alt for more details).
The sets can even be subsets of each other, such as:
alt [ every [ readChannel a, readChannel b], every [ readChannel a, readChannel b, readChannel b] ]
In this case there are no guarantees as to which choice will happen. Do not assume it will be the smaller, and do not assume it will be the larger.
Be wary of what happens if a single event is included multiple times in the same every, as this may not do what you expect (with or without choice). Consider:
every [ readChannel c >> writeChannel d 6, readChannel c >> writeChannel d 8 ]
What will happen is that the excecution will wait to read from c, but then it will execute only one of the bodies (an arbitrary choice). In general, do not rely on this behaviour, and instead try to avoid having the same events in an every. Also note that if you synchronise on a barrier twice in an every, this will only count as one member enrolling, even if you have two enrolled ends! For such a use, look at runParallel instead.
Also note that this currently applies to both ends of channels, so that:
every [ readChannel c, writeChannel c 2 ]
Will block indefinitely, rather than completing the communication.
Timeouts (e.g. Control.Concurrent.CHP.Monad.waitFor) are currently not supported. You can always get another process to synchronise on an event with you once a certain time has passed.
every [ readChannel c, alt [ readChannel d, readChannel e ] ]
To wait for c and (d or e) like this you must expand it out into (c and d) or (c and e):
alt [ every [ readChannel c, readChannel d], every [ readChannel c, readChannel e] ]
As long as x meets the conditions laid out above, every [x] will have the same behaviour as x.
Added in version 1.1.0
A useful operator that acts like every. The operator is associative and commutative (see every for notes on idempotence). When you have lots of things to join with this operator, it's probably easier to use the every function.

 Module : Data.PolyToMonoid
 Copyright : Copyright (C) 2010 Kevin Jardine
 License : BSD3
 Maintainer : Kevin Jardine
 Stability : provisional
 Portability: non-portable (depends on GHC extensions)
Creates polyvariadic functions that map their parameters into a given monoid.
module Data.PolyToMonoid (
 -- * Introduction
 -- $introduction
 -- * Concept
 -- $usage
 -- * Examples
 -- $examples
 -- * Extensions
 -- $extensions
) where
import Data.Monoid
{- $introduction
number of parameters of multiple types.
PolyToMonoid provides two such functions, 'ptm' and 'ctm', as well as a typeclass 'Monoidable'.
The only precondition is that the
parameters of 'ptm' and 'ctm' can be mapped to an underlying monoid using
the 'toMonoid' function provided by 'Monoidable'.
{- $usage
To understand how the polyToMonoid functions work, consider a function _USER_@ that maps its parameters to
a list:
> list p1 p2... pN =
(which is the same as @[p1,p2,..., pN]@ )
_USER_@ can be generalised to any monoid conceptually as:
> polyToMonoid p1 p2... pN =
Remember that a monoid, defined in "Data.Monoid", is any set of elements
with an identity element _USER_@ and an associative operator _USER_@.
As any list type is automatically a monoid with _USER_ = []@ and _USER_ = (++)@,
the _USER_@ function defined above is just a specific version of _USER_@.
The main difficulty with defining a _USER_@ function is communicating to Haskell what
underlying monoid to use.
Specifically, you can pass _USER_@ as the first element of the function and annotate it with the type of the
monoid it belongs to. Think of the _USER_@ value as like the initial value of a fold.
This library provides two variants of a polyToMonoid function. The first, 'ptm',
The second variant, 'ctm', is composible. In effect, it returns a function that consumes the next parameter.
You can feed the 'ctm' result to a second termination function 'trm' to get the actual result.
{- $examples
We can first tell Haskell how to map a set of types to a list of strings using 'Monoidable':
> instance Show a => Monoidable a [String] where
> toMonoid a = [show a]
and then tell 'ptm' to use the @[String]@ monoid:
The result returned would be:
> ["True","\"alpha]\"","[5]"]
In this case, 'Monoidable' tells the 'ptm' function to accept a wide variety of types
(anything with a _USER_@ function) when using the @[String]@ monoid.
The first parameter of 'ptm', @(mempty :: [String])@ tells it to map its parameters into the
@[String]@ monoid.
Unlike 'ptm', the 'ctm' function in effect returns a partial function ready to consume
the next parameter rather than a monoid result.
It is therefore more composable, at the cost of requiring a second termination function 'trm'
to return the actual monoid result.
> ctmfirstbit = ctm mempty :: [String]) True "alpha"
> ctmsecondbit = ctmfirstbit [(5 :: Int)]
> finalresult = trm ctmsecondbit
The result returned would be the same as above:
Monoids, of course, do not have to be lists.
Here's a second example which multiplies together numbers of several types:
> instance Monoid Double where
> mappend = (*)
> mempty = (1.0) :: Double
> instance Monoidable Int Double where
> toMonoid = fromIntegral
> instance Monoidable Double Double where
> toMonoid = id
In this case, 'ptm' accepts parameters that are either ints or doubles, converts them to doubles,
and then multiplies them together.
You can use the composibility of 'ctm' to define a _USER_@ function:
> productOf = ctm (mempty :: Double)
As before the 'trm' function is required to terminate the 'ctm' calculation and deliver the final result.
Note that since 'ptm' returns its result immediately, it is not possible to use it to
> _TAG_ productOf ptm (mempty :: Double)
{- $extensions
> TypeSynonymInstances, FlexibleInstances, MultiParamTypeClasses
-- | Define instances of Monoidable to tell Haskell

-- monoid
class Monoid m => Monoidable a m where
 toMonoid :: a -> m
squish :: Monoidable a m => m -> a -> m
squish m a = (m 'mappend' (toMonoid a))
Conceptually, ptm is defined as:
> ptm (mempty :: MyMonoid) p1 p2... pN =
class Monoid m => PolyVariadic m r where
 ptm :: m -> r
ctm is a composable variant of ptm.
To actually get its value, use the terminator function trm.
class Monoid m => CPolyVariadic m r where
 ctm :: m -> r

CLEAR CREEK, TX (DEWITT COUNTY)
CLEAR CREEK, TEXAS (DeWitt County). Clear Creek was near present Ranch Road 108 ten miles north of Yorktown in western DeWitt County, in an area predominantly settled by Germans. The community center was the Clear Creek school, organized in 1894 and sometimes called Sandgate. The school building also was used as a Methodist church. In 1926 the public school at nearby Nopal was merged with the Clear Creek school, which closed in 1951. By 1961 only Sandgate Cemetery marked the area. An earlier Clear Creek school may have been organized fourteen miles southeast in 1885 and operated until 1898; that building reportedly also doubled as a Methodist church.

Published online: 15 May 1999
It is shown that the two characteristic interaction times and for classical electromagnetic waves with an arbitrarily shaped barrier are not independent quantities, but are connected by Kramers-Kronig relations for the real and imaginary components of a causal magnitude. The corresponding macroscopic sum rule for the complex time is also derived. An analogy between the interaction time problem and an electrical circuit with capacitive and conducting frequency dependent components is established.

What is a Concrete Test Report?
A Document that records data obtained from an experiment of evaluation in an organized manner, describes the environmental or operating conditions, and shows the comparison of test results with test objectives. The data included in a concrete test report is used in specification compliance determination and can be used in quality control evaluations. Effective use of the data comes from a better understanding of the report process. On a large concrete construction project there could be hundreds of individual reports representing thousands of test specimens.
When are Concrete Test Reports Usually Released?
On average, reports are issued at 7 and 28 days. The initial 7-day data is an indicator of the concrete potential compressive strength.
How do Concrete Test Reports Help?
When constructing a building, we want to make sure the location is suitable to support the structure and we also want to make sure that the quality of the concrete at the bottom of the structure is the same at the top and all layers in-between. Concrete test reports help us to achieve higher quality and standards. When tested, concrete is sampled for evaluation, the "plastic" properties of the test sample are determined and this data is included in the report. The concrete is tested for consistency (slump), air content and temperature. In some projects the density (unit weight) of the concrete is required. The primary purpose of these tests is to verify compliance with project specified limits and can provide important data should there be non-compliant compression strengths.
Special Note: The process of sampling and testing of concrete must comply with the project specifications and ASTM C172 sampling and testing as required in ASTM C31 for casting cylinders and ASTM C39 for compression strength tests.
What Types of Information is Included in A Concrete Test Report?
Ambient temperature at the job site.
- Curing method at job site and laboratory.
- Compressive strength of each specimen to nearest 10psi.
- Date and time of the test and the name of the testing technician.
- Fresh concrete test results (slump, air content, and concrete temperature).
- Location in project represented by sample.
- Project name and location, name and location of testing lab, and identification numbers of the test specimens.

Ask the Archaeologist: Why are the things from the olden days under the ground?
Why are the things from the olden days under the ground?
From Edward, age 4
Thank you for your question!
Well, there are several ways in which old stuff gets buried. Archaeologists call the process of how an archaeological site is formed taphonomy. We can break this process in to two halves:
Firstly, through natural processes.
Old stuff might get buried by flooding which brings in silt and debris that is left behind when the water retreats. A volcano might bury a site, like at Pompeii in Italy where a whole Roman town was buried! Or perhaps a landslide caused by an earthquake or lots of rain. Even earthworms can bury stuff! If you drop a coin on the grass, over the years the action of the worms will cause the coin to be slowly buried.
Secondly through the action of people.
In old towns that grew into bigger towns and cities, whole streets were often buried under layers of demolition rubble or earth intentionally brought into the towns. Archaeologists call these layers'made ground'. People would then build up from these layers creating new streets and buildings. We can see this especially well in London where Roman streets and buildings have been buried under meters of made ground, and in York where Viking buildings and streets have been found.
People in the past often dug ditches around their houses, their villages and their fields and then rubbish (broken pottery, stone tools, animal bone etc) was thrown in to the open ditches. When the people moved away, the ditches slowly silted up and the stuff was buried for us to find later. We also find rubbish pits that people dug in the past.
Finally, people sometimes buried things intentionally. People might bury valuable stuff like coins, precious metals or weapons to protect them and keep them safe. They may have intended to return to their stuff but then something happened and they didn't, or, maybe, they were buried with the intention that they were offerings to the gods or spirit world and they would never be recovered.
Hope this helps, Edward. Happy digging!

|The Pulaski Project
by Betsey Russell
Ed Pulaski may be best known for the firefighting tool he invented, a cross between an ax and a hoe that bears his name and. still is used in firefighting today. But Pulaski's heroics during the 1910 wildfIres that devastated the forests of North Idaho, Eastern Washington and Montana tell an even more compelling story, one - that Silver Valley residents hope will draw tourists and others to a historic site, trail and interpretive center.
|Photo courtesy of Museum of North Idaho|
This undated photo was taken at the mouth of War Eagle Mine, now known as the Pulaski Tunnel, near Wallace. The tunnel is named for Ed Pulaski, who invented the handy tool that kept forest firefighters from having to carry both an ax and a hoe. He was a Forest Service ranger in Wallace in August 1910 when the woods exploded into a firestorm, trapping 1,800 firefighters between Wallace and Avery. Drawingbn his knowledge of the area, Pulaski led his45-man crew to safety in the abandoned mine. Pictured are Joe Helm, left, and a man identified only as McKay.
Long before he invented the handy tool that kept forest fire-fighters from having to carry both an ax and a hoe, Pulaski was a Forest Service ranger in Wallace in August 1910 when the woods exploded into a fIrestorm, trapping 1,800 firefighters between Wallace and Avery.
Drawing on his knowledge of the area, Pulaski led his 45-man crew to safety in an abandoned mine, now known as the Pulaski Tunnel. There, they lay face down through a suffocating night of smoke and heat. Their leader kept some from panicking and heading outside to certain death with the end of his pistol. He beat, out flaming timbers at the mine's entrance with horse blankets and mine water he gathered in his hat.
Though the whole group lost consciousness during that night, including Pulaski, nearly all survived, and crawled back through the smoking, charred woods to Wallace in the morning.
"The fire was so hot that it killed the fish in the creek," said Jim See, a guidance counselor and teacher at Mullan High School. "When the firefighters came out, they could not sit on the rocks because they were so hot beside the creek."
See is an avid hiker and amateur historian who noticed that the historic tunnel site and the trail leading to it have been deteriorating, and feared they could soon be lost forever.
Now, a Silver Valley group is working to restore the historic site and trail, build a new trailhead and historic markers and eventually create a national wildfire education center and museum at the trailhead site.
"It's already on the National Register of Historie Places," See said. "And so is the escape route."
The project is now known as the Pulaski Project, and work is scheduled to start this summer on restoring, realigning and marking the trail and the tunnel entrance. At the behest of Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, Congress has appropriated nearly $300,000 for the Forest Service to take on the project.
Rep. Mary Lou Shepherd, D-Prichard, this month told the House State Affairs Committee about the project and the story. Eventually, a $15 million interpretive center and museum is envisioned to serve as a national center for wildfIte education.
A "fire room" would give visitors the experience of the sights, sounds and smells of a raging wildfire, she said.
The House committee agreed to introduce a resolution Shepherd proposed to "express support and encouragement for the efforts of the Pulaski project, and acknowledge the dedication of the wildfire fighters, past, present and future."
Former Rep. Don Pischner, R-Coeur d'Alene, has been working with the project.
"My dad knew Ed Pulaski," Pischner said. "In my generation, Ed Pulaski was this big hero."
When the backers had access problems to part of the trail, Pischner discovered that the land is now owned by his employer, Stimson Lumber. Soon, there was a letter of agreement for access, including easements and possibly a land sale.
Idaho Historical Society Director Steve Guerber said he thinks the Pulaski Project is "a great idea," that could both preserve and make more accessible "the site where a significant historic event took place."
The trailhead is about half a mile south of Wallace. From there, the trail runs about two miles to the tunnel.
See said, "We're going on a hike with the engineers in April, once the snow allows that to happen, so we can identify exactly where the trail is."
The tunnel itself is too dangerous for public access, he said, but possibilities include an overlook or structure where visitors would be able to peer into the old mine.

ASP.NET JSON and ViewState
imageI received the following question recently about my article "ASP.NET AJAX using JSON – Here's how.
If we update the value of a textbox or label via a JSON web service call – will the value of that textbox/label be written to the viewstate or whatever so that the server side code can see the new values that came from the JSON request?
The short answer is, "no, it will not update viewstate." But I think it would be helpful to understand when this is important rather than just giving you a blanket answer.

Decimal vs Float (Single) or Double
money-016 When you need to deal with a number that is a fraction, what do you specify for its type? If you are like most programmers I know, you'll reach for Float (Single if you are using VB) or Double.
If you are working with currency, though, this could get you into a lot of trouble.

Large blocks of black are displayed instead of music notation symbols. How can I fix this?
If a Notation product displays large blocks of black instead of music notation symbols, then the explanation is very likely one of the following, for which each has a solution to the problem:
1. If you have had to uninstall and reinstall your Notation Software product, sometimes the Harmony. ttf file may not reinstall properly. To install the Harmony font, first you can download just the font from _URL_
2. Next, open the Fonts folder in the Windows Control Panel. Then copy and paste, or drag and drop, the Harmony font file to the Fonts folder. Windows will carry out the installation of the font automatically.
Also, Notation has a font problem under the following circumstances:
1. The score displays chord names.
2. The font size for the chord names differs from that of the music notation font.
You can work around this problem by making the font size of the chord names the same as that of the music notation font, as follows:
Choose the Font Size and Spacing command in the Score menu.
Choose the Font Setup command in the Font Size and Spacing dialog box.
Set the point size for Music Symbols and Chord Names to be the same. They can be the same number (eg, 10), or they both can be set to Use Default Point Size.

I'm not sure what the て-form does in this sentence.
Could it be short for ている?
It's hard to say something definitive without more context, but it's probably either one of the followings:
 1. The te-form used as a request. "Please include things about Wallenstein, too."
 2. The main verb after 含めて (教えてください, 話そう, etc.) is omitted, because it's already specified before this sentence. "(Tell me about the incident.) Including things about Wallenstein."
 - 文脈はたぶんこれかと – Chocolate Jun 14 '15 at 15:38
 - Oh then, "何だって思うようにはいかない" is the omitted phrase. "Things won't always go well. Including the affairs about Wallenstein (which is not going well, either)." – naruto Jun 14 '15 at 15:49
 - How do you figure out what is omitted? Does it just come with experience? – Tomm Jun 14 '15 at 22:17
 - The sentences before this basically say how difficult his life has been, so I think it's natural to understand this sentence along the same line, too. – naruto Jun 15 '15 at 8:58
No, it can't be short for ている. ヴァレンシュタインさんのことも含めて means "including things about Wallenstein"

Swiss brown bear policy in place, as bears migrate back
Swiss brown bear (image: ©2009 Josef Griffel/Swiss federal environment office)
Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - The Swiss brown bear is coming home and while he's being welcomed with open arms, he will have to get used to new rules that should make it harder for him to become too familiar with humans. The federal government laid out its brown bear management policy in 2006 after the first brown bear in a century appeared in 2005.
Four bears have since been seen in Switzerland, but two have since died, and one has disappeared.
The federal environment department has just revised the policy, putting greater emphasis on educating the public and ensuring that the bears' likelihood of survival is increased by making it harder for them to forage for food around human habitations.

Urban Ants Handle Heat Better
The heat of cities is transforming how urban ants respond to extreme temperatures, providing glimpses of the impacts that changes in global climate might trigger, an international team of scientists now reports.
Cities can be 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than surrounding rural zones, with their asphalt roads and other features absorbing and holding more of the sun's energy than natural landscapes. Researchers call this the urban "heat island" effect.
The researchers investigated colonies of leaf-cutter ants (Atta sexdens rubropilosa) inside and outside of São Paulo,Brazil, South America's largest city with a population of more than 11 million people. They focused on how well urban and rural ants tolerated extremes of heat and cold in experimental chambers.
At 107.6 degrees Fahrenheit, the scientists found urban ants lasted 20 percent longer than ants from outside the city before the extreme heat knocked them out. Surprisingly, although the researchers expected that extreme cold would knock city ants out faster, they found urban ants recovered from storage at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) in ice-entombed Petri dishes about as fast as ants from outside the city.
"We don't know whether this pattern will hold up for other species or other cities, but people should certainly be looking," researcher Michael Angilletta of Indiana State University said in a prepared statement. "Ultimately, this research could help us to understand how species will respond to global climate change."
"We will construct thermal maps using satellite images recorded over several years," said researcher Qihao Weng at Indiana State University."These maps will enable us to assess the potential biological consequences of urban warming and identify suitable sites for future experiments."
The scientists report their findings Feb. 28 in the journal PLoS ONE.

A brick wall
Curtain panel pattern-based can be used to lay brick in offset courses. The key concept in this lesson is that a non-adaptive object can be placed in the pattern-based panel. Thus a standard brick can be used to make a curved wall. There are two examples: 1) the brick that is laid in tilted courses to conform the surface of the bricks closely to the surface, and 2) the brick that is laid in horizontal courses so that its face is always vertical.
The first step is to draw a brick. It might as well be a parametric brick. Create a new family as a Generic Model. Draw the brick with its insertion point aligned with its bottom edge and its face centered. Draw a two vertical planes and one horizontal one.
Add dimensions, making the two vertical planes EQ from the centerline.
Label the dimensions with type parameters for length and width.
Draw an extrusion. Sketch it with a rectangle. Lock the edges of the rectangle to the reference planes.
Finish the extrusion. Select the extrusion and look at the Extrusion End property. Click on the Associate parameter button and give it a new parameter of height.
Look at it in 3D to see if it is right. Adjust the parameter values and change the shape of the brick. Note that you can put equations into the parameter values to calculate things like the height of a brick (=8"/3-3/8").
Finish up with a brick that is nominally 8/3" high, 8" long, and 4" wide.
In the Category settings, make the family Work plane based and uncheck always vertical.
Save this file as brik.rfa
Now start a new family of curtain panel pattern-based. Click on the blue border to change the pattern type. With the type selector, change it to 1/2 step. Change the spacing of the pattern to 8" in each direction. You will want to adjust your zooming and change the scale so it looks better. Drag the points around to get everything out of plane and away from the default work plane. Save this file as brick pattern.rfa
Go back to the brick family and load it into the new pattern.
Before you place the brick, set the work plane to be the horizontal work plane of the middle adaptive point. This will keep the brick oriented and located on the pattern.
Create a test surface as a conceptual mass. Load the brick pattern into the test surface. Divide the surface and apply the brick pattern.
The spacing of the nodes may need adjustment. Use 4" in one direction and 8"/3 in the other direction. This should space the mortar properly.
The next idea is that bricks are typically laid in level courses. To test this, make a test surface that is roughly vertical, like a wall. A quick way to do this is to Ctrl drag the level 1 to make two more levels. Then draw a Spline through point on each level. Blend sweep between them to make the surface.
Go to the brick family. Change its Family Category and Parameters to check Always vertical
Load it into the brick pattern. Save the brick pattern with a new name, such as brick pattern vertical.rfa
Change its Family Category and Parameters to check Always vertical.
Swap out the brick for brick vertical.
Load it into the test surface and apply it to a divided surface on the wall.
It looks right, except the bricks are rotated to show their width rather than their face. We could work to try to rotate it, but it is a parametric
brick and it is easy to swap the parameters. Go back to the brick vertical family. Swap the width for height. Change the associated parameter for the Extrusion end too.
Reload into the pattern, and reload into the test surface.
Adjust the spacing of the bricks, once again using Fixed Distance.
The brick wall should look right!

Sediment Retention Fiber Rolls (SRFRs)
What are Sediment Retention Fiber Rolls?
Site engineers, consultants, regulatory agencies, earthwork and seeding contractors, and other professionals within the construction industry often are faced with challenges posed by land, nature and weather. Special care must be taken to prevent soil erosion and sedimentation in receiving waters.
Sediment Retention Fiber Rolls (SRFRs) can help provide this special care. SRFRs are also known as "wattles." SRFRs slow and spread runoff, reducing sediment entering retention ponds, lakes and other water bodies.
The Erosion Control Technology Council's approved definition of a sediment retention fiber roll is:A sediment retention fiber roll is a manufactured 3-dimensional device of a specified filler material encapsulated within a flexible containment material utilized in sediment and flow control applications.

In the case of a Linear analysis, for the distributed load to be applied to your model, you must assign a Pressure multiplier in the Multipliers tab of the Analysis Parameters dialog box. The product of the Magnitude and the Pressure multiplier updates the magnitude of the distributed load.
In the case of a Nonlinear analysis, a load curve controls the magnitude of the distributed load during the event duration. You specify the load curve number within the Creating Beam Distributed Load Object dialog box.
If you select one or more beam elements using the Selection Select Lines command and right-click in the display area, you can select the Add pull-out menu and select the Beam Distributed Loads command to add a distributed load to each beam element.
If the magnitude and direction of the load is constant across the length of each selected beam, specify the magnitude of the load per unit of length in the Magnitude field and the of the load in the Direction section. If the magnitude or direction of the load varies across the length of each selected beam, deactivate the Uniform check box and specify the magnitude of the force per unit of length at each end in the I-Node Magnitude and J-Node Magnitude fields and the direction in the I-Node Direction and J-Node Direction sections. The magnitude of the load varies linearly between the nodes. This is done on a per-beam basis.
If you are applying a non-uniform load to the beam, you can have the load start and end at any point along the beam. This is done by specifying a ratio of the length of the beam in two ratio from I-Node fields. The first field determines how far from the I-Node the load starts. The second field determines how far from the I-Node the load ends. For example, if you want a load to be applied only along the third-quarter of a beam, you specify 0.5 in the first field and 0.75 in the second field.
Specify the load curve that will be used to multiply the distributed load in the Load Case / Load Curve field. Press the Curve button to define a load curve in the, or use the Analysis: Parameters dialog. Specify an additional multiplier applied to this load in the Multiplier field.
For the load to maintain the same orientation with respect to the element as it deforms, activate the Follows Displacement check box (and the Large Displacement analysis type in the Element Definition). When using Follows Displacement, the following additional calculations are performed:
