This is a Guide for creating icon themes for Inkscape 1.0+
What are multicolor icons?
From Inkscape 1.0 on, Inkscape icon sets can make use of 3 user-customizable highlight colors, plus a user definable base color (colors can be mixed and blended). A user can select the colors in Edit > Preferences > Interface > Theme: Display icons.
The stock multicolor icon theme was designed by Adam Belis. Most of its icons are based upon those contained in the hicolor symbolic icon theme.
Since Inkscape's switch to Gtk3, every icon is saved in a separate file. There are about 450 different icons used in Inkscape. When you're creating your own icon theme, you don't need to make a new one for each of those. Instead, you can base your changes on an existing icon theme (hicolor or Multicolor).
How does it work?
Gtk supports up to 4 classes of colors:.success,.warning and.error. Normally,.error is set to red,.warning is orange and.success is green. The default colors can be set in a CSS file in the theme's folder. Inside this file also there is.base color defined is foreground color and the background is transparent or widget background-color.
How to build a new set of icons: Practical Guide
Creating a new icon theme and setting its default colors
 1. Find the Inkscape data folder at Edit > Preferences > System: Inkscape data.
 2. Find you Inkscape user icon folder at Edit > Preferences > System: User icons.
 3. Open the folder icons in the Inkscape data folder.
 4. Copy the multicolor icon folder from there into your Inkscape user icon folder.
 5. Rename the new folder to your new name (for example, call it Super Cool Icons).
 6. Open the file index.theme in your new icon folder with a text editor (e.g. Notepad), and adjust the name and comment line there, too. Save the file.
 7. To set up your default colors:
 1. Open the file highlights.css in your new Super Cool Icons folder with your favorite text editor be careful only touch the color definition and dont add extra spaces, new lines or reindent...
 2. Adjust the hex color codes of the classes to your liking, e.g. if you want your.success class to be green, you will change it to #009909.
 3. You can copy hex colors from Inscape's Fill and Stroke dialog or use an online color chooser, e.g. _URL_.
 4. The.dark classes can be used to adjust your color scheme to dark themes.
 5. Save and close the highlights.css file.
 8. You can also come back and tweak the colors later, if you like.
Editing or creating your first icon
Now when you are happy with your colors, we can jump into icon editing:
 1. Think about how you want to use the three available colors for your theme, e.g. maybe you want to sort icons by functionality, placement, or any other attribute.
 2. Open any icon file in the folder symbolic/actions inside your Super Cool Icons folder with Inkscape 1.0.
 3. Open the dialog Object > Selectors and CSS. disabled in 1.0 but still accessible via shortcut Shift+Ctrl+Q
 4. Also open Edit > Preferences > Interface > Theme and select the icon theme you have just created.
 5. Delete the current icon.
 6. Design your own icon on the same layer.
 7. To assign a color to a fill:
 1. Select the path.
 2. In the Selectors and CSS dialog, you will see 3 classes (.success,.warning,.error) (you may need to expand the dialog, or switch to vertical mode to be able to see them).
 3. Click on the + button next to the desired class, e.g. if you want the fill to be green (.success), you will click on + button next to.success.
 4. If you changed your mind and want a different class, you can click on the triangle behind the class name to expand the list of objects that use the class, and remove the class from the path by clicking on the x button.
 5. You need to add each path a class.success,.warning,.error trought XML Inspector
 8. To preview your new icon, save the icon file (Ctrl+S), and switch to a different theme, and then switch back to your new theme in the preferences to force a reload of the icon theme, or just toggle the 'dark theme' option twice.
 9. Now you can see how the icon looks when it is used in the Inkscape interface.
 10. Repeat the process 450 more times to finish your very own Super Cool Icons.
 11. Congratulation you did it! Dont forget to share your Super Cool Icons theme with the community on the Inkscape website.
Feature support
 - 3 solid fill colors (set by classes) + 1 base color
 - arbitrary opacity values (not alpha, but object opacity)
 - LPEs (live path effects)
 - clip masks
 - filters (not recommended, not change on dark/bright changes, resolution-dependent)
 - embedded bitmaps (not recommended, not change on dark/bright changes, resolution-dependent)
 - strokes with any color different from the theme base color
 - Workaround: add the 'Join type' LPE (it nondestructively converts strokes to paths)
 - gradients
 - Workaround: you can simulate linear gradients by creating multiple rectangles in a row and changing their opacity (0,10,20,30...), and then clipping this group with the shape you want to have a linear gradient.
you can simulate a radial gradient by adding circles increasing in size and decreasing in opacity. You can also simulate gradients by using blur on paths.
 - mesh gradients
 - blend modes
 - different colors than those set by.success,.warning and.error.
 - Workaround: you can create more than 4 colors by layering objects with lowered opacity. Create a duplicate of the path, then change the new path's opacity and select one of the color classes. E.g. use one object with the class.success at 30% opacity, placed on top of another object with an unset fill for a different shade of the.success color.
Best practices
 - Keep it all in one layer and do not change the name of the layer.
 - Keep in mind that the icons are going to be very small (16x16px), so use a grid for drawing to ensure crisp rendering. It seems like you need to use a 24x24 grid for icons inside SOME panels (alignment and distribution).
 - Add a color class to all paths, or unset the fill. If no class is set, the default class.base will be used.
 - Try to keep the SVG file small and simple so it does not take a long time to render your icons (this can impact start up time).
 - Try to use discrete opacity values: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100% to keep the SVG files small.
 - Use a low precision for your file's coordinates (maximally 0.xx). This includes node poritions, object transformations etc.).

CopyToOpenPrinter
Unit:SDL_plot3d
Class:TPlot3D
Declaration:procedure CopyToOpenPrinter (var x,y: integer; ScaleF: double; BlkWhite, IncludeFrame: boolean);
The method CopyToOpenPrinter is a more flexible alternative to the method PrintIt. It provides a way to create a graphical output on the currently selected printer. You may change the selected printer by assigning a proper value to the PrinterIndex property of the Printer object before calling CopyToOpenPrinter. In contrast to PrintIt, the user has to take care by himself that the printer object is already open for receiving data. This can be accomplished either by the method Printer.BeginDoc (see Delphi manual for details), or by assigning the printer output to a text file (Delphi procedure AssignPrn).
The variable parameters x and y contain the coordinates of the upper left corner of the plot in printer coordinates on entry of the routine, and return the printer coordinates of the lower right corner of the plot after the method has been finished. This feature can be used to combine several hardcopies on one page, since the x- and y-values after a first hardcopy can be partly used as inputs of the next hardcopy.
The parameter ScaleF determines the magnification factor of the printout. A factor of 1.0 creates an output which has roughly the size of the screen image. If the parameter BlkWhite is set to TRUE, the colors of the plot are suppressed and the plot is printed in black and white. This is normally the best way to proceed with B&W printers. The parameter IncludeFrame determines whether the frame of the component is included in the printout.
Example: The following code snippet shows a short example how to mix several graphics and some text on one printer page.

if PrinterDialog1.Execute then
 begin
 Printer.Title := 'Test';
 Printer.BeginDoc;
 Printer.Canvas.TextOut (300,180,'This is some text');
 Printer.Canvas.TextOut (300,380,'Another text line');
 x := 100;
 y := 520;
 Plot3D1.CopyToOpenPrinter (x,y, 0.8, true); { the first plot }
 Printer.Canvas.TextOut (300,y+50,'Yet another line of text');
 x := 300;
 y := y+280;
 Plot3D1.CopyToOpenPrinter (x,y, 0.4, true); { the second plot }
 Printer.EndDoc;
 end;
Hint: When printing to Adobe Distiller, release 7.0 or later, you have to specify the property Title of the printer (Printer.Title = 'Any Title'), otherwise the Adobe printer driver will crash.

text: This is the first comprehensive study to examine how urbanization affects the microclimate of Istanbul using the urban climate model MUKLIMO_3 with a 200 m horizontal resolution. In this study, the parameters in the land use table were estimated for Istanbul by combining different land use data sets and creating a high-resolution land use distribution. A specified heat wave episode was simulated via MUKLIMO_3 by using defined land use, meteorological sounding, and surface measurements. The findings suggest that MUKLIMO_3 can reasonably capture the 24-h daily temperature variation in both rural and urban locations, but it has a negative bias compared to station observations. We also employ eight mitigation scenarios by changing the albedo of roofs and implementing green-roofs and walls. All scenarios reduced air temperatures to varying degrees in urbanized areas along the northern Marmara coastline on both sides of Istanbul during daylight hours. The white and hybrid scenarios resulted in a temperature drop of up to 2 K at 12:00 UTC, with the most significant cooling effect observed in hybrid 4. Increasing the albedo of roofs from 0.5 to 0.7 resulted in the spatial expansion of cooled areas towards the north of the city along the Bosphorus. However, green roof scenarios are not found to be as effective as high-albedo scenarios.

Does it hurt when dogs get stuck together?
While female dogs sometimes will start crying, whimpering, or even growling or barking, it's important to realize that this process is totally natural.
Unfortunately, separating them is not part of the natural process and can actually hurt both dogs and cause them unnecessary stress..
How do you know if mating is successful?
Allowing the male and female to have more than one mating session over a few days will ensure more chance of a successful mating. A sign of a successful mating is when the male and female readily accept each other and become "tied together".
How many days will a female dog let a male mount her?
From what I have read online, successful dog breeders let the male mount the female across a 3-day period. This will typically be on days 9, 11, and 13 of the cycle. Breeders will often separate the male and female once the mounting has occurred, to ensure a gap between the matings.
Why do female cats cry when mating?
Cats scream when they mate because of painful scratching from a male cat's barbed reproductive organs. Male cats may also yell in response to the female cat's noises. The noise is a natural reaction to stimulation critical for ovulation and getting pregnant.
How long do dogs have to stay stuck to Get Pregnant?
This phase typically lasts about 15 minutes, although it can last anywhere from a few minutes to up to an hour, during which time the male and female remain "tied" or "locked". Physically separating them can result in injury to either the male or female dog's genitalia.
How long after dogs mate do they get pregnant?
Pregnancy, also called the gestation period, normally ranges from 58 to 65 days with an average of 63 days. With a planned breeding, the date of mating should be carefully recorded. If there are two matings, make a note of the exact dates and expect birth to occur between 63 and 65 days later.
How many eggs does a female dog release?
The female dog must-have releases six eggs from the ovaries. Each of these six eggs gets fertilised and becomes zygotes.
How long does it take for two dogs to get unstuck?
Some dogs go through the whole process completely calm and manage to get unstuck already after 5-15 minutes. Others, especially if it's their first time mating, may take longer.
Do dogs bleed the whole time they are in heat?
Heat usually lasts between 2-4 weeks. Early in the cycle, a female dog may not be receptive to male dogs, although some are receptive through the entire cycle. It can be shorter or longer and you'll know the cycle is over when all her vulva returns to its normal size and there's no more bleeding or discharge.
Why can't dogs separate after mating?
Dogs get stuck during mating because of a process called a copulatory tie. … The male dog has an organ called the bulbus glandis, which is responsible for keeping him tied up with the female. The dog breeding tie basically keeps the semen secured inside the female dog.
Will my dog get pregnant the first time she mates?
A whopping 40% of female dogs will fall pregnant after just one mating session! That incredibly high number means you are at considerable risk of having a litter of unwanted puppies if you are not careful. Thankfully, there are still a number of relatively safe means to preventing pregnancy after mating.
Do dogs get pregnant every time they tie?
It is important to note that pregnancy can occur without a tie. Once tied the male dog will often step over the female or be turned by handlers into a position so that the animals are back to back.
How many times should dogs tie when breeding?
Answer: Once may be enough. However, to ensure that all of the eggs released by your Lab are fertilized, I always let my dogs mate every two days while the female will stand to be bred. Usually, it is 3 or 4 times.
Is there a morning after pill for dogs?
Mifepristone (RU486): This well-known drug acts as a progesterone antagonist. Small clinical trials have demonstrated that his drug is very effective in terminating canine pregnancy after 25-30 days of gestation, and without apparent adverse effects.
How long do dogs stay stuck together?
A tie is a natural phenomenon of dog breeding in which the bulbus glandis of the male's penis swells inside the bitch's vagina. The dogs are virtually locked together for 15-20 minutes (two to 30 minutes is also normal), during which time ejaculation has taken place.
How do you get 2 dogs unstuck?
What to do when the dogs get stuck and how to get dogs unstuck? Simply put, leave them be. It's a natural process, and it needs time. But if you notice that the dogs are tied for too long and that it's really too painful for them, stay calm and pet the female dog gently on the head.

Rajasthan's Agriculture department is experimenting with olives to produce anti-cancer drugs from olives' leaves and fruits. To give hope and a new life to cancer patients, this is a great attempt. As per the research, there is triterpenic acid in olive leaves and fruits. Triterpenic acid is useful in treatment of cancer. This led pharmaceutical companies and agriculture experts to use olive for curing cancer patients.
Agriculture department on olive as cancer-curing agent
As tritrepenoid is useful in cancer treatment so Rajasthan is making efforts to extract tritrepenoids from olive leaves and fruits. The agriculture department said there was research in one of the Universities of India where tritrepenoids was extracted from the leaves and fruits olive. Apart from treating different kinds of cancer, tritrepenoids in olives is also used to treat HIV.
Olive farming in Rajasthan
In Rajasthan, seven different varieties of olive are cultivated. The first plant of Olive was planted at Dhindhol farm in Bassi, Jaipur district in year 2008. Recently, 5000 hectare of land has been used for olive farming in Rajasthan. In fact, Rajasthan's produce of olives is also supplied to the other states of the country.

I was wondering how one can rescue all of the prediction results when using the Java API for liblinear.
As it is well documented one can rescue the accuracy of the prediction with the following code:
Feature[] instance = new FeatureNode[5];
double prediction = Linear.predict(model, instance);
But how can we rescue the rest of the results kept in a file that is given to us when running for example:
./predict -b 1 testfile.test modelfile.model resultfile.out
Hope you can help, for the moment I am rescuing the data from the file but is most inefficient having to go to disk to get it. Thanks in advance.

1 Answer 1
If I understand you correctly, you're trying to get the probability results in runtime. Well, what i'm using is the following code:
double[] probabilityResults = new double[];
double prediction = Linear.predictProbability(model, instanceToTest, probabilityResults);
in the probabilityResults array, you'll find the probabilities of prediction. Good luck!

Reflections: Why was the hatter mad?
Why was the hatter mad?
By William L. Bulla
What is a Mad Hatter? He is not something we experience in our every day life. However, he is something we read about, even as children, in the story of "Alice in Wonderland", and again, "Through the Looking Glass."
Over the years we have read about both the Mad Hatter and his partner the March Hare. Both of these characters have seemed a bit mad.
Recently my friend Sean asked, "why do they say'mad as a hatter'?" I said I thought it came from Lewis Carroll's "Alice In Wonderland". He told me I was wrong. He said it had to do with the mercury used in preserving the furs from which they made the hats. Of course, I didn't believe him so I decided I should look into the issue. Sean was right. It was the chemicals used in preserving the fur used in making hats that caused the hatter's to go "mad".
The most famous Mad Hatter, of course, is the one from the Mad Tea Party in Alice in Wonderland, the partner of the March Hare. Both mad, of course. But Lewis Carroll did not invent the phrase, although he did create the character. The phrases "mad as a hatter" and "mad as a March hare" were common at the time Lewis Carroll wrote the first publication of Alice In Wonderland in 1865. The phrase had been in common use in 1837, almost 30 years earlier. Carroll frequently used common expressions, songs, nursery rhymes, etc., as the basis for characters in his stories.
The origin of the phrase, it's believed, is that hatters really did go mad. The chemicals used in hat-making included mercury nitrate, used in curing felt. Prolonged exposure to the mercury vapors caused mercury poisoning. Victims developed severe and uncontrollable muscular tremors and twitching limbs, which became known as "hatter's shakes"; other symptoms included distorted vision and confused speech. Advanced cases developed hallucinations and other psychotic symptoms.
The victims were the hatters, not the wearers of hats. The hatters were exposed to the mercury fumes, which would have been long dissipated, or of insignificant strength, by the time the hat was worn. This use of mercury is now subject to severe legal restrictions (if not banned) in the U.S. and Europe.
The March Hare and the Hatter make a brief reappearance in Alice Through the Looking Glass as the King's messengers, "Haigha" and "Hatta." These names are the only hint as to their identities other than the illustrations from the book published in 1871.
"In that direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, "lives a Hatter: and in that direction," waving the other paw, "lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad."
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be, said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
So, who knows for sure? Maybe we all become a bit mad in March.

A Sculptural Narrative of the Heroic Bravery of the People of Naga City
"ORAGON" is a two-part visual display that captures the heroism of Naguenos by portraying two forms of bravery, with a central tapestry dividing the two juxtaposed narratives. Crafted by artist Jose Barcena, Jr., grandson of Federico Barcena who carved the monument to the 15 Bicol Martyrs at Plaza Quince Martires, it was commissioned by the City Government of Naga under the leadership of Mayor Jesse Robredo.
"BRAVERY IN PEACE" depicts Naga's native ruler and warrior in full battle regalia, standing valiantly to face rather than run away from Spanish forces, a powerful reminder that Naguenos are gifted with courage and strength to face any challenge in life. Beside him sits Babaylan, a priestess signifying the esteemed position of women. A native boy symbolizes simplicity and trust in himself. The adolescent boy, pointing to the ruler, portrays reverence and obedience to their leaders.
Facing them is the Spanish conquistador Capt. Juan de Salcedo who brings with him two instruments of colonization: the use of force symbolized by the Spanish soldier, and the evangelization of Catholic faith by the Spanish missionary. The ancient Naguenos welcomed the latter and resisted the former, a testimony to their wisdom and capacity to withstand threats and welcome goodness.
"BRAVERY IN TIMES OF WAR" portrays the Naguenos indomitable courage to fight freedom, exemplified by figures of two prominent revolutionaries: Corporals Elias Angeles and Felix Plazo. On the third night of the Penafrancia triduum on September 18, 1898, they mounted a surprise attack on the Spanish government, forcing the governor and the Castillian community to seek refuge in Church premises and eventually capitulate to the triumphant native forces the next day.
"BRAVERY IN LIFE" is depicted by a tapestry at the center of the monument: a powerful symbol of the Naguenos courage to measure all experiences - good or bad, happy or sad, up or down - and see them as singular reality called life. It is also an invitation to realize that in spite of diversity, they remain united as one because of shared history and common vision.

European Painting before 1900, Johnson Collection
Allegory of Sight (Venus and Cupid in a Picture Gallery)Made in Southern Netherlands (modern Belgium), Europe
Jan Brueghel the Younger, Flemish (active Antwerp), 1601 - 1678
Oil on copper
Cat. 656John G. Johnson Collection, 1917
LabelJan Brueghel the Younger, the oldest son of Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568–1625), worked in a similar painting style to his father and followed his father's practice, which included depicting art galleries of both existing and imaginary collections. This allegory of sight, likely one in a series of the five senses, shows how art collections were assembled to reflect both the wealth and the learning of their owners. Venus examines herself in a mirror, surrounded by a lavish array of the man-made and natural objects that filled princely studios.

A new research centre dedicated to developing technologies for the provision of geothermal sources of energy to cities has been launched in Perth.
The Western Australian Geothermal Centre of Excellence (WAGCOE) is a joint venture between CSIRO and The University of Western Australia, in conjunction with Curtin University of Technology, and supported by the WA State Government.
The Centre brings together researchers, industry, investors and government agencies to investigate how geothermal energy can be used to provide modern cities with air conditioning, power and desalinated water.
Centre Director, UWA Professor and Premier's Fellow Klaus Regenauer-Lieb, said Perth is an ideal geological setting for demonstrating and providing local geothermal energy.
"The shallow groundwater of the Perth Basin is an excellent source of low-grade heat which can be used for direct-use applications that people use every day," Professor Regenauer-Lieb said.
"By exploring for and using low-grade heat in a permeable sedimentary environment, we are addressing a previously overlooked opportunity to broaden the applications and use of geothermal energy.
Our aim is to make Perth the first geothermally cooled city in the coming decade and we are working closely with geothermal lease holders, city planners and other stakeholders to advance the geothermal industry and make this vision a reality", Professor Regenauer-Lieb said.
The Centre links 'below-ground' research with 'above-ground' development, by modelling low-to-intermediate temperature geothermal systems and delivering novel technologies for low-grade heat. Modelling is also being used to identify deeper and hotter geothermal sources including hot sedimentary aquifers and 'hot rocks'.
The Centre will also develop geothermal energy university courses and provide advice and consulting services to industry.

Theorem is the art of painting designs on velvet using stencils. Theorem painting was popular in the 1800's -- especially in New England -- but gradually declined after 1850, due to the increasing availability of Victorial floral prints. The word "theorem" means "a theory or analysis" and refers to the way an artist must analyze the picture he/she wants to paint and divide into numbered parts in order to create and cut a stencil. Primitive Beginnings theorem paintings are all hand made, one of a kind, and signed by the artist. All theorem painints are made in USA by American artists.

FrameworkElement::BeginStoryboard Method (Storyboard)
Begins the sequence of actions that are contained in the provided storyboard.
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
Most typical animation scenarios do not use this method. Typically, you create the Storyboard or BeginStoryboard element in markup, and then you place these as the EventTrigger content on an element. When triggered by the event, the animation then runs. Most of the control aspects of a Storyboard can be addressed by properties that are exposed in markup.
For the signatures that do not use the isControllable, parameter, or when that parameter is specified false, the timeline clocks that are associated with the animation are removed as soon as the animation reaches the "Fill" period. Therefore the animation cannot be restarted after running once. Controlling an animation also requires that the storyboard have an x:Name Directive or be accessible by reference in code.

You may want to filter and view your contacts which have a phone number to more easily add only call-able individuals to a call list, for example. Here's how to do that:
- From your Contacts page, click on advanced search.
- Click "field" to see the drop-down menu for categories.
- Select "Phone," then set the next field to "exists."
- Click "Submit Query," and the search will return contacts who have an email address. You can also select "does not exist" if you're looking for contacts without email addresses.
Pro-tip: You may wish to create a Saved Search that includes this criteria, so that you can always quickly identify contacts that meet a set of criteria, including having a phone number. Especially if your account includes the phone number lookup monthly add-on feature, saving this search criteria will help you quickly identify when someone you're trying to reach now has an associated phone number.

Can cats see in color?
I know cats can see in some colors. But do they see in all colors? Just like to know! Thanks(:
- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
For a long time people assumed that cats could see only gray tones. In the meantime we have learned that they can distinguish between some colors: for example, red and green or yellow and blue. Colors do not play a major role in a cat's life. A cat's eye orients itself to light and dark. It acts like a camera. In bright sunshine the pupils contract; at dusk they expand and catch even the tiniest glimpse of light. In this way your cat sees about six times better than you do.Cats can also "hear" with their eyes. Cats' eyes have nerve cells that transmit to the brain sounds that the ears no longer perceive. That's how even blind cats can catch flies. (from _URL_)

I am trying to prove that:
(uv)R = vRuR
where R is the reversal of a String defined recursively as:
aR = a
(wa)R = awR
I think I have the base case right, but I am having trouble with the inductive step and final proof.
here is what I have:
Base Step
prove for n = 1 where |uv| = 1
(uv)R = uReR = uR = u (where e is the empty string)
I dont really know where to go from here, any help would be great.
share|improve this question
Instead of doing induction over the entire $|uv|$, let the induction variable be just $|v|$ and keep the $u$ constant-but-arbitrary throughout the induction proof. (Also, since $u$ can be empty, the base case should probably be $|u|=0$ rather than $|u|=1$). – Henning Makholm Sep 3 '11 at 22:01

I agree with Henning that your induction should be on $|v|$. Note in the case $|v| = 1$, you're done by definition. It's probably also worth mentioning something about the empty string for completeness.
Let me demonstrate how I would prove this for $|v| = 3$ supposing we knew this were true for when $|v| = 2$. This should illustrate how you should prove $|v| = n$ from assuming $|v| = n - 1$ is valid.
Let $v = v_1v_2v_3$ be a string of length 3. Assume the claim is true for strings of length 2. Then $(uv)^R = (uv_1v_2v_3)^R$. By the recursive definition, $(uv_1v_2v_3)^R = v_3(uv_1v_2)^R$. Note $v_1v_2$ is a string of length 2, so we have $v_3(uv_1v_2)^R = v_3(v_1v_2)^Ru^R$. But by definition, $v_3(v_1v_2)^Ru^R = v_3v_2v_1u^R = (v_1v_2v_3)^Ru^R$.
In almost all inductive proofs, it helps to prove a few small cases by using even smaller cases. If you're still having trouble, try proving this for $|v| = 4$ by using the same ideas as above.

What are the differences between cutting fluid and cutting oil?
Views: 7 Author: Site Editor Publish Time: 2023-03-21 Origin: Site
Inquire
Cutting fluid and cutting oil are collectively referred to as metal working fluid. Although they have 4 basic elements, but they are different in some aspects, today Xiaobian for you to sort out and edit the difference between the two to share with you:
1, the difference of components
Cutting fluid and cutting oil are all cooling lubricants for metal working, although they have the same role and function. But there are essential differences in the production and use of material. Cutting oil is mainly composed of base oil and insoluble water additives, such as oil rust inhibitor and lubricant. The main component of cutting fluid is water, and add water-soluble rust inhibitor, lubricant, coupling agent, fungicide, cleaning agent, etc., from the composition of the cutting oil component is simple, the cutting fluid component is complex.
2, the use of performance is different
The main performance is that the cutting oil has good lubrication and rust prevention performance, so the cutting oil is usually used for finishing. Cutting fluid cleaning and cooling performance is good, cutting fluid is mainly used for high speed processing and rough processing need good cooling performance.
3. Maintenance is different during use
Cutting oil according to the specific situation of consumption of new oil can be added. Cutting fluid in the process of use is easy to deteriorate, causing odor. Therefore, in the process of use, pay attention to the concentration value and ph value change at any time and anywhere, and add stock solution and water.
4. The difference between cutting fluid and cutting oil in use cost
Cutting fluid in the process of use need to dilute 10-20 times with water. Cutting oil is used directly, so the cost of using cutting fluid is lower than cutting oil.

Grats (sometimes spelled 'gratz') is a commonly used abbreviation for congratulations. It is most often used when an achievement is announced, or a player reaches a new level. It may also be used sarcastically when someone does something stupid.
In guild culture, there is an expectation that at least one person will say 'grats' when someone announces they dinged or earns an achievement, especially for significant milestones such as reaching maximum level or completing a meta achievement.
Some people find replying to dings and achievements annoying, to the extent that addons such as Grats Bot have popped up to automate the process.

Fishing Report: Roosevelt Lake and Mogollon Rim streams
The water level in Roosevelt Lake continues to fall and currently stands at 51% full. The lake level fell just under four vertical feet during the month of May after falling over five feet during April. The water flow into the lake from the Salt River is at 25% of its normal rate due to the lack of snowpack at higher elevations. Normally, at this time of year, there is a large run-off into the lake and the water level is increasing. The water clarity is stained due to the presence of algae and the water temperature is in the low 80's in the morning, increasing to the mid 80's during the warmest time of the day.
Bass have transitioned into a summer pattern meaning that larger bass will have longer periods of rest at deeper depths with short but very aggressive feeding periods. When large bass chase a school of shad, the action can be fast, requiring a higher skill level on the part of the angler. This aggressive feeding pattern was observed recently by Guy and Stevie Waggoner, two local youth anglers, on a recent bass fishing trip to Roosevelt Lake. They fished the upper Salt River end of the lake where they each caught a large-mouth bass in excess of five pounds. Their bait of choice was a newly purchased top water bait which will likely be in their tackle boxes for many years to come. Congratulations to these two fine young anglers, Guy and Stevie Waggoner.
During the summer months, experienced bass anglers prefer fishing during the evening hours, but some reported a caution due to recent winds after dark. A drop-shot and Texas rigged Roboworm were reported very successful for evening and night fishing. Early morning reaction baits such as spinner-baits, chatter-baits, paddle-tail swimbaits and Flukes are reported successful choices for many anglers. As the sun rises higher in the sky, a drop-shot and jig technique in 25-foot depth has been reported successful.
Mogollon Rim trout fishing
Trout fishing on the Rim has been reported as good to excellent. Streams throughout Rim Country are again being stocked and the crowds are lower than a few weeks ago. There are still closures in some areas so be sure to confirm that your favorite fishing area is accessible. Several nymph fly patterns, PowerBait and salmon eggs have all been reported successful.
Crappie fishing reports
Crappie fishing reports continue to be fair to good. Anglers are reporting that crappie are orienting to cover or structure in the 20-foot to 25-foot range. Anglers are fishing for post spawn crappie using a vertical fishing technique and a very sensitive fishing rod. Some crappie are still recovering from the spawn, but the size of crappie schools are getting larger each week. Good crappie fishing conditions should continue for the next few months.
Have a great week of fishing and I hope to see you on the water.

Turbidity curtains, also referred to as silt curtains, offer a means to keep suspended particles from vacating the immediate area in a body of water. The curtains hang from floats down into the water and impede the flow of the turbidity or silt. Over time, the suspended sediment settles back to the bottom. These floating curtains can be made from solid fabrics that impede all flow of water, or built using a geotextile mesh fabric that allows water to flow through while still blocking the silt or other particles from escaping.
One application for turbidity curtains is to contain runoff from storm drain or pump station discharge points. These are typically exit points for storm drains systems that provide drainage from developed urban areas in order to prevent or minimize flooding. Because the water is collected from public streets and other areas, the water is prone to wash away trash, dirt, and other debris. Instead of simply dumping this water into waterways, the systems may run the water through filtering processes to remove garbage and larger debris. However, these filters may not capture all of the materials suspended in the water.

When it comes to turboprop aircraft, two brands come to mind. The first is Aerei da Trasporto Regionale 72 (ATR 72), and the other is the De Havilland Canada DHC-8 (Dash 8). However, which of the two planes is better? Let's see.
Which aircraft are we comparing?
If you've flown a commuter route to a smaller airport, chances are you've flown aboard a turboprop aircraft. This type of aircraft has propellers rather than jet engines (specifically turbofan engines) and is a bit slower, but is pressurized and can still make a similar journey to a jet aircraft. Turboprop engines do have some advantages, such as being able to land at smaller airports and being cheaper to operate.
The first aircraft we will compare is the ATR 72, named after the number of passengers and designed in France ATR in 1984. ATR is half-owned (50%) by Airbus and benefits from its technology.

The second aircraft is the DHC-8 (known as the Dash 8, not to be confused with the Dash-80). It has been built by a number of builders throughout the life of the brand (De Havilland in 1984, Boeing in 1988, Bombardier in 1992 and now Longview Aviation Capital in 2019).
Since both types of aircraft are widely used around the world and were developed around the same time, they can be compared. There are several types of older ATR 72s, but for this study we will use the latest version (-600). Since there are four types of Dash 8 (Q100, Q200, Q300 and Q400), we will use the most popular one (Q400) for this comparison.
The Q400 is an industry favorite. Photo: Getty Images
Range and capacity
We'll start by examining the passenger capacity and range of both aircraft:
- The ATR 72 can carry 70-78 passengers (depending on seat pitch) over a distance of 1,528 km (825 nm).
- The Dash 8 Q400 can carry 82-90 passengers (depending on seat pitch) for a range of 2,040 km (1,100 nautical miles).
From the above we can see that the Dash 8 Q400 is superior to the ATR 72 in terms of range and passenger capacity. It can carry more passengers than the ATR 72 (but only a few more) over a longer range.
However, most airlines will not use these aircraft for maximum range, but instead for short commuter routes. How does their fuel efficiency compare over the short haul?
This is where things get a little murkier. According to the ATR website, the ATR 72 is 39% more fuel efficient over 300nm. We could conclude that the ATR 72 is much more economical than the Q400, but the Q400 carries more passengers. In terms of fuel consumption per seat over the same distance, the Q400 is 8% ahead.
Also, it assumes that the two planes are flying at the same speed for the same distance. But don't be too quick to give up on the Q400. Standard maximum speeds are as follows:
- ATR 72 cruising speed: 510 km/h (280 knots)
- Dash 8 Q400 cruise speed: 556–667 km/h (300–360 knots). The Q400 also cruises at a higher altitude.
This higher cruising speed means that the Q400 aircraft gets to its destination faster (an hour's flight for the Q400 takes one hour and 15 minutes for the ATR 72). Faster flights mean more sectors per day. This means the Q400 can fly an extra hour every six hours over the ATR 72.
Adding more cabin seats and faster turnaround times can mean a better bottom line for the airline.
The Q400 is particularly efficient. Photo: Getty Images
How much do they cost?
The ATR 72 may be cheaper to run, but will it cost more than the Dash 8? Let's take a look at the prices:
- ATR 72-600: $26 million
- Dash 8 Q400: $32 million

Over the past year, against the background of the global health crisis, there has been a significant change in conditions in the aviation industry. Turboprop operations have been and will be massively affected by these changes. Initially, a serious decline in passenger activity was observed in 2020. However, due to strict travel restrictions, short-haul services have become more popular than long-haul ones.
Later, a new role appeared for turboprop engines. For example, in the summer of 2020, Hi Air confirmed that it was increasing its regional connection to Korea by buying two ATR 72 aircraft. The move highlighted the resilience of the regional aviation industry, which has been recovering faster.
About 600 Q400s and more than 400 ATR 72s had been delivered before the pandemic began. Photo: Getty Images
ATR's senior vice president of commercial affairs, Fabrice Vauthier, emphasized the role that the firm's aircraft continue to play. Turboprop engines have additional advantages for these local operations.
"Regional connectivity is more important than ever and therefore the regional aviation segment will be resilient. In many countries, we are already seeing domestic and regional routes return first, and in the case of Hi Air, they continue to fly. Businesses, governments and people around the world are looking for solutions to this crisis, and regional aviation has a key role to play," "Our ATR aircraft have the right combination of economy and operational versatility to support airlines. In addition, with their advantages in fuel burn and CO2 emissions, they are the ideal solution to help aviation emerge from this global recovery into a more sustainable industry."
Turboprops remained as popular as the aviation market began to recover.
2022 year Farnborough Airshow is a striking example of such popularity. The ATR 72 attracted a lot of attention at the event, including when the Japanese Feel Air signed a letter for 36 units of the aircraft. Air Serbia also confirmed this this summer it was adding additional ATR 72-600s and considering a P2F conversion.
A place for both
It is not only ATR that is proving to be a useful solution in the new era. At the height of the pandemic, there were few deliveries of the Dash 8. Carriers such as Biman Bangladesh Airlines began receiving units. The company noted that the aircraft's economic and passenger conditions allow it to offer high-frequency services in Bangladesh and neighboring countries. The turboprop engine pairs well with the carrier's narrow-body jets to improve overall network efficiency and connectivity.
Notably, the operator said that during the health crisis, he found the role of Dash 8 even more important as he sees a gradual recovery of traffic after the lockdown. De Havilland Canada Regional Vice President of Sales, Rob Baseggio, shared that the Dash 8-400's greater passenger capacity and cargo capacity sets it apart from its competitors and gives Biman the opportunity to optimize its network.
De Havilland suspended production of the Dash 8-400 in mid-2021 to focus on the backlog. However, the company is working to resume production at a new facility in Alberta. The Q400 continues to generate interest, with Connect Airlines announcing last month that it is leasing three units from NAC.
Turboprop engines will play an important role in the future of commercial aviation as the situation around the world changes. Photo: Getty Images
Above all, both aircraft provide a fantastic solution for commuter routes and services in remote, challenging areas. However, different carriers have different requirements. A factor for one company may be much more important than for another. For example, The Dash 8 has been praised for its ability to adapt to critical firefighting tasks.
The ATR 72 comes at a lower cost and is cheap to operate. These aspects make the aircraft an ideal proposition for airlines looking for a simple solution. If an airline needs additional range or has high passenger demand, the Dash 8 Q400 may be a better fit. Nevertheless, both turboprop engines will play an important role in the airline industry's recovery.
Overall, which aircraft of the ATR 72 and Dash 8 do you prefer? Have you flown either of the two planes over the years? Let us know what you think about turboprop engines in the comments section.

In this Article, Professor Sullivan postulates that the unconstitutional conditions doctrine is a doctrine in search of a theory. Three theories have been put forth, but have proven unsatisfactory. The author describes the three theories and then suggests an alternative approach. The unconstitutional doctrine is necessary to preserve three distributive functions: (1) checking the power of the state by preserving a private order; (2) imposing obligations of government neutrality among rightholders who, for example, speak, worship, or procreate according to different lights; and (3) barring a system of constitutional caste among rightholders. The alternative approach embodies a distributive analysis of unconstitutional conditions that considers the balance of power and freedom in the polity as a whole.

CBD under your tongue: how can you take it in this way?
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Many beginner users wonder how to take CBD under the tongue. In Europe, the situation varies from country to country. While in some countries, the law allows the use of CBD as a dietary supplement and therefore sublingual use, in other countries it is prohibited. In this guide we explain how to take CBD sublingually in countries where the sale of these products is allowed.
CBD under your tongue: what does this consumption method involve?
Sublingual use of CBD involves the administering of cannabidiol under the tongue. This form of consumption takes effect in just a few minutes, which is faster than ingestion. To take CBD in this way, a liquid base containing CBD is required. Normally, a plant-based oil is used, either hemp seed oil or coconut MCT oil. In Spain, under current legislation, only the sale of CBD oil for topical use is permitted. However, in other countries such as Canada, the United States, and Switzerland, its sale as a dietary supplement is permitted, although the product itself is the same. In these places, sublingual use of CBD is quite common due to the benefits provided by this form of consumption.
What are the advantages of taking CBD under your tongue?
The area under the tongue and the buccal mucosa have a large number of capillaries. For this reason, by placing a few drops of CBD oil under your tongue, this cannabinoid passes directly into the bloodstream. This means that cannabidiol reaches the bloodstream without passing through the digestive tract and without being metabolised in the liver. In other words, we're spared the digestion process and the resulting loss of CBD. As a result, it takes about 15 to 20 minutes for the CBD to take effect when administering CBD under the tongue. This is far less time than when it's ingested. Furthermore, taking CBD under the tongue allows for a higher bioavailability of cannabidiol. In other words, more CBD is absorbed by this method than by ingesting it¹. In short, the main advantages of taking CBD under the tongue are the speed with which it takes effect, the ease of administration, as well as greater bioavailability.
How can you take CBD under your tongue?
As mentioned above, in Spain CBD oil can only be sold for topical use. In other words, sublingual administration of CBD isn't legally permitted in Spain. Consequently, it's understood that, from a legal point of view, those users who administer it in this way are misusing the product. Therefore, we explain below how you can take CBD under the tongue in those countries where it can be consumed in this way. Examples include Canada, Switzerland, and the United States, among others. The first step in using CBD in countries where regulation allows this administration method is to calculate the necessary dosage. Once you know what the ideal amount of CBD oil is, you can proceed to take it. However, if you're taking CBD oil for the first time, it's advisable to do a test. Simply place a single drop of CBD under your tongue and wait for a couple of hours to rule out any adverse reactions. When taking CBD oil under your tongue, it's important not to eat before or after doing so. Just leave a window of 15 to 20 minutes, both before and after. The most common way to administer CBD under the tongue is to use a dropper or spray to place a few drops under your tongue. Once this is done, the drops should be held for at least 30 seconds to one minute without swallowing.
How long does it take for CBD oil to take effect under your tongue?
Most commonly, the effects of cannabidiol taken in this way take between 15 and 20 minutes to kick in. That said, sometimes it can take up to 60 minutes. The peak blood concentration, i.e. the highest bioavailability, is reached between 1.67 and 2.17 hours after sublingual administration². Therefore, the strongest effect is obtained one and a half to two hours after intake. As for the duration of cannabidiol, this can vary depending on the administration method and the amount taken. When CBD is taken under the tongue, in doses between 5 mg and 20 mg, the effect can last up to eight hours, according to a study published in 2004 in the Journal of Cannabis Therapeutics³.
Things to consider when taking CBD under your tongue
The first point to consider when taking CBD under your tongue is the dosage. The effects of CBD can vary depending on a number of factors such as your weight, age, metabolism, and the purpose for which it's taken. Once the ideal dosage is established, it's important to make sure the product is of good quality. Some CBD oils can contain heavy metals and other harmful chemicals. It's therefore essential to ensure that the product to be used can be ingested safely. In addition, it has been found that, depending on the drop size from the dispenser used (dropper or spray), the length of the effect varies. CBD taken under the tongue as a spray gets absorbed quicker and lasts longer. With CBD drops, however, higher blood concentration levels are reached⁴. In other words, the effect is more pronounced, but for a shorter time. Taste is another characteristic of CBD oil that should be taken into account when taking it under the tongue. In countries where this cannabinoid is sold for consumption in this way, the oils commonly include flavours and aromas. This is done to reduce the herbal taste of the CBD extract. While these additions aren't an essential ingredient, they do make the taking of CBD more pleasant, especially for users who aren't used to consuming it. Lastly, it should be noted that while CBD is a very safe compound, in some very rare cases it can have some side effects. Although these are generally mild discomfort, such as a dry mouth or slight drowsiness, it's advisable to do a test before starting to take it. To do so, simply place a single drop of CBD oil under your tongue and hold it for about a minute. If after a couple of hours you haven't noticed any negative effects, you can proceed with taking CBD under your tongue.

Summary and conclusions on taking CBD under your tongue
The Tree CBD is a marketer based in Spain, where the sublingual use of CBD isn't legally permitted. We're therefore obligated to warn you that its use should only be topical, i.e. on the skin. In other countries where the law does allow sublingual use, CBD oil is used, either hemp seed oil or coconut MCT oil. CBD can also be administered under the tongue using a dropper or spray. Doing so is typically the quickest administration method after inhalation. CBD passes directly into the bloodstream through the buccal mucosa and sublingual capillaries, so it's not digested and doesn't pass through the digestive tract. As a result, it takes between 15 and 20 minutes to take effect. Its effects can last for up to eight hours. To take CBD oil under your tongue, you shouldn't eat or drink anything for approximately 15 minutes before and after taking it. It's also vital that you're aware of the correct dosage of CBD oil, and to make sure that the product is free of harmful chemicals. Lastly, it's also worth remembering that it's highly advisable to do a test with CBD oil to make sure that it doesn't cause side effects.

Your Guide to the Fantastic Fauna You can Expect to See on Rainforest Tours
The bestselling Sunshine Coast Hinterland day tour, "Rainforest Views and Montville" is one of the most popular Sunshine Coast day tours and provides an amazing way to explore an enchanted rainforest and spend time at the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve. Here we'll look at some of the fantastic creatures you can expect to see at Mary Cairncross Scenic which is the last stop of the day.
The Pink Underwing Moth
This reserve is one of just a few confirmed breeding habitats for the Pink Underwing Moth. This species is only found between northeast Queensland and northern NSW. The moth is just one of the flying creatures you may spot on your visit. The reserve has a well-documented record of birdlife that includes over 130 recorded species. This includes the rare Grey Goshawk, so be sure to pack a spotter's guide for your visit.
Kangaroo Family Members
There are several native mammal species in the Mary Cairncross Reserve including three members of the kangaroo family. There is a colony of Red-Legged Pademelons that are an unusual feature of this reserve, but there are also Red-Necked Pademelon and Red-Necked Wallabies. While you may spot the Pademelons during the day, you may have difficulty seeing the wallabies during Sunshine Coast day trips, as they are most active towards dusk.
There are other marsupials in the reserve including Mountain Brushtail Possums, but these are nocturnal creatures, so you're not likely to spot them on your day tour.
The Red Bellied Black Snake
This is one of the best known venomous snakes in Australia. It has an iridescent black back with a pink to red belly. This red pigment is easy to see when the snake is moving or coiled. Red-bellied black snakes can grow as long as 1.5 to 2 metres, and their diet includes small mammals, reptiles and frogs. These snakes are usually found around water, but they can range well away from streams, lagoons, and swamps to be found in rainforests. Although these snakes were once common in the southeast, they are more difficult to find. While this snake is considered dangerously venomous, it is not an aggressive species and will avoid human confrontation.
While there are a number of frogs near the streams in the reserve, one of the most impressive to spot is the Great Barred Frog. These frogs have a harsh and loud call that can be heard in spring or summer. These frogs grow up to 8 centimetres in length.
The reserve is also home to the Mountain Freshwater Crayfish, a little species that lacks the long spines that are found on other crayfish species.
Research teams have found that this crayfish does not appear near the reserve, so the rainforest is a vital habitat. Look out for burrows along the Piccabeen boardwalk where the crayfish dig into the creek bank to seek shelter.

Siemens Healthineers invests in new semiconductor factory in Forchheim
Siemens Healthineers is building a new factory for growing crystals for semiconductor production at its headquarters in Forchheim in central Franconia. The investment amounts to 80 million euros. The crystals will be used as detector material for the latest generation of computer tomographs. By using the crystals as semiconductor material, quantum-counting devices can produce sharper images with a reduced X-ray dose.
At the heart of Naeotom Alpha is a new quantum-counting detector whose detection layer consists of a cadmium telluride (CdTe) single crystal. Conventional CT detectors first convert X-rays into visible light in a two-step process, which is then detected by a light sensor to produce the final image. This intermediate step means that information about the energy of the X-rays is lost and no longer available to aid diagnosis, according to Siemens. The quantum-counting CT detector converts the X-ray photons directly into fully digital electrical signals. The image data provides new clinically relevant information and improved image sharpness while reducing radiation exposure, the company says.
The new building in Forchheim is aiming for "LEED Platinum" certification and will be operated in a sustainable CO2-neutral manner. For example, waste heat from production is used to heat the buildings and the company generates its own electricity with a 170kWp photovoltaic system on the roof.

Better water quality for agriculture
For agriculture it is particularly important to maintain good water quality to have. Because if the water is of poor quality, or even germ-infested, then this can affect the crop yields. But this not only affects the amount of crop, but also the quality of the harvested product.
Our innovative product, the Photon Water Generator (PWG) produces structured vitalized ortho-energetic water from the tap. Animals, plants and flowers love it and also the Plant growth increases visibly as a result. Among other things, this is due to the fact that the oxygen binding capacity of the water is increased.
However, the PWG also contributes to a great financial cost saving with. After all, calcification of water pipes or equipment can also cause considerable expense in agriculture. With the PWG, such fears are a thing of the past.
Photons water generator as a helper in agriculture
The benefits of the PWG are particularly versatile. This is mainly due to the fact that the PWG is a product in the field of water engineering. In addition, every person and every business sector consumes large amounts of water. In agriculture, a particularly large amount of water is consumed to irrigate plants or to feed animals.
In agriculture, wear can occur much more quickly due to lime deposits. Therefore, the life cycle of the equipment used is massively reduced. The Photon Water Generator counteracts this Comparatively low price counter. The device renders ineffective all the water alien pollutant information in the water and at the same time the water is energized and restructured, with the highest order.
The advantages in hot water technology in detail
Lower maintenance costs of technical equipment
Increased plant growth
No pollutant information foreign to water in the water
Plants and animals receive structured vitalized ortho-energetic water
Lime as an important component of agriculture
Since lime is known to be an important ingredient especially in agriculture, the question could arise whether the PWG could have a counterproductive effect. For this case, it is worth mentioning that although the device can reduce Water quality increased and aggressive lime removed. However, it does not remove the lime itself from the water. Thus, all useful nutrients remain in the water.
The plants and animals are also happy about it, because your well-being is also improved by the energetic high-quality water. In this regard, many improvements can be detected through photon technology. Likewise, the water can superimpose electrosmog. This thus does not come into contact with the corresponding organism.
Cost of higher water quality through the PWG
The costs for the PWG are comparatively very limited. Consider how valuable agricultural machinery, livestock or plant stocks are. With the PWG, you get a device that directly contributes to value creation and at the same time strengthens the value retention of your technical equipment.
The PWG does not even have to be connected to the power supply. For 10 years the device will do you work. At the same time, it does not need to be serviced or replaced even once. In addition, we have a 10-year performance guarantee for our PWG, so you can purchase the device without any risk.
Contact us and let us find out how this innovative technology can also provide you with valuable services in agriculture.

Your child's first helicopter tour is an opportunity to cultivate a lifelong love for flying. While most children enjoy the thought of flying through the sky, your child may still need some help in preparation for their big day. As your helicopter ride over NYC draws near, you can use these tips to help them feel confident when they board a helicopter for the first time.
Get Them Excited About the Sights
New York City has always held a sense of mystique to kids. Not only is the Big Apple a common setting for movies and comics, but kids also hear their teachers talk about the rich history of the area. If your child is old enough, then help them do some research about the sights that you expect to see. For instance, you could look up how tall the Empire State Building is, or your child might want to learn some interesting facts about Ellis Island. Younger children may enjoy looking at on-ground pictures that they can compare those photos to their experience in the air.
Give them a Safety Briefing
Our helicopter tours are safe for kids of all ages, but everyone must follow a few basic safety rules. If your child is older than two, then they must sit in their own seat per FAA regulations. While most kids look forward to this experience, yours may need to be prepped if they are used to sitting in your lap. You'll also want to remind your child to just follow your directions and listen to the pilot. They'll handle things such as opening the doors when the ride is over so that your family can just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Discuss the On-Boarding Procedure
Kids sometimes have preferences about where they would like to sit, but helicopters must be loaded a certain way to distribute weight properly. Let your child know that the onboarding crew will try to give them the best seat possible, but that they need to go along with wherever they are placed. If your child is particularly nervous about sitting next to strangers, then consider planning a trip for just the two of you. Our NYC helicopter tours provide a quieter and calmer experience for young kids that may react to being in a crowd.
Talk About Turbulence
Air travel today is certainly the best it has ever been, but helicopter rides are sometimes not perfectly smooth. Talk to your child about turbulence, and remind them that the little bumps and shakes they feel in the air are just part of the ride. Remember to talk about this with some excitement, and reassure your child that helicopter tours only take place when the weather conditions are safe.
Show Them How to Use Their Camera
Cameras and photo-taking are highly encouraged on family air tours of NYC. Before the trip, give your child an age-appropriate camera that they can use to snap their own in-air pics. They'll be excited to be able to take their own pictures, and you'll all enjoy seeing what they capture after the tour. Introducing your child to the world of air travel is exciting, and a tour of NYC is something that they'll never forget. Remember that your child looks to you for cues on how to react so share your excitement as you all get ready to board for your tour on the helipad.

The provision of bursaries widens educational opportunities to children from a greater range of backgrounds, which enriches our community. As part of the legacy that our founder, William Lambe, worked so hard to achieve, we continue to value the importance of being inclusive and accessible to deserving children in the local area and beyond.
Bursaries are awarded according to financial need at the discretion of the Scholarship and Bursaries Committee and are reviewed annually. If applicable, the awarded percentage will be applied to tuition fees and boarding fees. Please note that our bursary provision does not cover transportation costs.
In addition to the School's standard bursary programme, applicants to the Sixth Form are able to apply for The Blyth Bursary, which was established through a generous legacy from an Old Suttonian family. This seeks to support a local, talented child whose family's financial circumstances would, under normal circumstances, preclude them from considering an education at Sutton Valence School; more information about this particular bursary can be found here.
Finally, any prospective pupils with a parent currently serving in the Armed Forces may also apply for a Forces Bursary, which is the equivalent of a 20 per cent discount applied to tuition and boarding fees (if applicable).
Bursary Application Process
To apply for a bursary, please follow the following steps:
- In order for us to consider a bursary application, the prospective pupil needs to be registered with the School first. To register, please click here.
- Once the prospective pupil has been registered, please request bursary application forms from the Bursar on 01622 845201. Please note that the earliest a bursary application can be received is nine months prior to the prospective pupil's start date at the School (i.e. applicants looking to join the School in September 2024 may apply for a bursary from January 2024 onwards).
For further information about any of the above bursary schemes or the application process, please do not hesitate to contact the Bursar.

Azure-winged Magpie
Azure-winged Magpie
Scientific classification
Kingdom:Animalia
Phylum:Chordata
Class:Aves
Order:Passeriformes
Family:Corvidae
Genus:Cyanopica
Species:cyana
Binomial name
Cyanopica cyana
The Azure-winged Magpie (Cyanopica cyana) is similar in overall shape to the European Magpie (Pica pica) but is a more slender bird with proportionately smaller legs and bill. It has a glossy black top to the head and a white throat. The underparts and the back are a light grey-fawn in colour with the wings and the long tail feathers a beautiful azure blue.
It occurs in two population groups separated by a huge geographical region between. One population lives in western Europe, specifically the south western part of the Iberian peninsula, in Spain and Portugal. The other population occurs over a much larger region of eastern Asia in most of China, Korea, Japan, and north into Mongolia. It inhabits various types of coniferous and deciduous forest including parks and gardens in the eastern populations.
Often food is found as a family group or several groups making flocks of up to 30 birds and consists of many invertebrates and their larvae, soft fruits and berries and human scraps in parks and towns.
Usually nests in loose, open colonies with a single nest in each tree. There are usually between 6-8 eggs that are incubated for 15 days.
The voice is a quick fired and metallic sounding kwink-kwink-kwink usually preceeded by a single "krarrah".

The Stokes-Einstein equation is the equation first derived by Einstein in his Ph.D thesis for the diffusion coefficient of a "Stokes" particle undergoing Brownian Motion in a quiescent fluid at uniform temperature. The result was formerly published in Einstein's (1905) classic paper on the theory of Brownian motion (it was also simultaneously derived by Sutherland (1905) using an identical argument). Einstein's result for the diffusion coefficient D of a spherical particle of radius a in a fluid of dynamic viscosity h at absolute temperature T is:
where is the gas constant and NA is Avogadro's Number. The formula is historically important since it was used to make the first absolute measurement of NA so confirming molecular theory. Although the formula can be derived alternatively using the Langevin equation of motion for a Brownian particle [Chandrasekhar (1943)] the derivation of Einstein is a powerful and ingenious one, correct even when the Langevin equation is only approximate. Einstein assumed that van't Hoff's law for the osmotic pressure exerted by solute molecules in a solvent fluid at equilibrium was equally applicable to the pressure p associated with a suspension of Brownian particles at equilibrium in the same fluid, i.e.,
where nM is the number of gram moles of fluid per unit volume and f the'molar fraction' defined here as the ratio of the number of particles to the number of fluid molecules. Einstein then argued that a suspension of Brownian particles at equilibrium under their own weight could be viewed in two ways both of which were equivalent: a balance between the net weight of the particles and the gradient of the particle pressure in the direction of gravity; or a balance between the diffusion flux and the settling flux due to gravity. Using the Stokes drag formula for the settling velocity (see Stokes Law) and the formula for p above gives the formula for D given above. A similar argument allows one to deduce a form for the particle pressure in a turbulent gas knowing the form for the particle turbulent diffusion coefficient (see Particle Transport in Turbulent Fluids).

How to Copy and Paste in Windows 10.
Copy & Paste is a way of duplicating a file (a document, picture, video etc), and then placing the file somewhere else on your computer.
For example, if you wanted to put some pictures onto a USB stick, but still keep them on your computer, you'd Copy and Paste them to the USB stick.
How to Copy and Paste.
 Add a header to begin generating the table of contents
 Home » Free Computer Course. » How To Copy And Paste In Windows 10.
 How to Copy & Paste.
 To see how Copy and Paste works, we'll use the example of copying a single picture to a USB drive.
 It's the kind of common thing that many of us will want to do from time to time.
 How to Copy.
 The first thing you need to do is to find the file (picture) that you want to copy.
 Navigate to the folder where your picture is located.
 In this first example, it's going to be in your Pictures folder.
 If you're not sure about finding your files click At Home Computer Guide to Navigating Your PC.
 Once you've found your picture, select it by left-clicking on it once.
 A highlight will appear around the file to indicated that it has indeed been selected.
 With the file selected, right-click on it, and the options menu will open.
 Left-click on the word COPY.
 Windows 10 won't give you any indication that it has done anything. All that seems to happen is that the options menu disappears.
 There is also a keyboard shortcut to copy selected items, CTRL (Control) and the letter C.
 How to Paste.
 With the file copied, you now need to navigate to the folder where you want to put (or place) the file.
 Placing the file is called pasting. You're said to Paste the file.
 Navigate to the folder or drive where the file is to be pasted.
 In the left-hand panel, find and left-click once on your USB drive.
 In the main panel, right-click on a bit of free space to open the options menu.
 On the options menu, left-click once on the word PASTE.
 Your file will appear.
 If it's a large file, maybe a video, it may take a little time to transfer.
 Or you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL (Control) and the letter V. V for Paste, erm, we'll come back to that
 When you use Copy & Paste, what you're doing is telling your computer to make a duplicate (copy) of the selected file/files and then to transfer that duplicate (paste) into the location that you've specified.
 It's a duplicate file.
 When you're copying & pasting files and/or folders, it's important to remember that you're not moving a file/folder as such.
 You are creating an exact duplicate. The original file stays where it is.
 So using the example above, you'd now have two versions of the same picture.
 The original, which remains in your Pictures folder, and the duplicated (or copied) version that is on your USB stick.
 Copy and Paste multiple files/folders.
 As well as using Copy & Paste on single files, you can also use it on multiple files and entire folders.
 Another thing to note. is that the files really don't have to be the same type of files. For example, you can select and copy and paste images, documents and videos all at the same time.
 As an example, let's say you're tidying up your Desktop.
 The first thing to do is to select all the files and folders.
 To do that, hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard and then left-click once on each item.
 You can see what's been selected because a highlight will appear around the file/folder.
 In the image above the highlight appears very faint, but it is there. On your own computer, it should show a little bolder.
 With everything selected, right-click on one of the items.
 It doesn't matter which one you right-click on, but you do have to click directly onto one of them.
 The options menu will appear and now it's exactly the same as copying a single file.
 Left-click COPY.
 Or CTRL + C on your keyboard.
 Again, Windows won't give you any indication that the files and folders have been copied. All that happens when you click COPY is that the options menu disappears.
 Navigate to the folder/drive where you want to place the items.
 In this example, that would be your Documents folder, so left click File Explorer on your Taskbar.
 Or use the keyboard shortcut Windows key + E.
 And then click Documents in the left-hand panel.
 In the main panel, right-click in a bit of free space (not touching anything else) to open the options menu and then left-click PASTE.
 If you're struggling to find some free space to right-click, use the keyboard shortcut CTRL (Control) and the letter V.
 Again it might take a little while for your selected items to be pasted into place, it all depends on the size of the files/folders and the speed of your PC.
 Copy & Paste into a new folder.
 When you're pasting files/folders, you can also create a new folder for them at the same time.
 Handy to know when you're organising your pictures or documents.
 Let's say you wanted to Copy & Paste your holiday pics onto a USB stick, but you wanted to keep them all together in a folder on the stick.
 Select and Copy all your pictures just as above.
 Navigate to your USB drive.
 To create a folder to put your pictures into, right-click on the main panel in a bit of free space to open the options menu.
 Move your pointer onto the word NEW. A second menu appears, left-click FOLDER.
 A "New Folder" appears. Give the folder a name.
 Alternately you could use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + Shift + N to create your New Folder.
 We covered creating folders here How To Create Name Rename And Delete Folders
 With your folder suitably named, right-click on it, then left-click PASTE.
 Is the copy the same as the original?
 In a word, yes it is. Whether you're copying pictures, videos music or whatever, the copied version of the file is exactly the same as the original version.
 That's because of the way in which computers store data (files).
 Take a look at the image opposite. It's a work of art, and as such, can't be replicated. At least not on canvas.
 In our human world, it's generally the case that the original is better than the copy.
 Once the image has been digitised, stored on a computer, it's no longer paint and canvas.
 It's ones and zeros. That's how computers store all your files.
 So what we humans see as a picture, what the PC sees is a series of ones and zeros (bits).
 So when a computer copies a file, it simply makes a note of the ones and zeros and the order in which they appear.
 We've got an At Home Computer Guide about how computers store data here How Does a PC Store Data
 Copy & Paste is just one of those things that you'll need to do on your computer on a regular basis. It's how you can move files and folders around with ease.
 Windows 10 is packed with keyboard shortcuts, most of which you'll rarely need, but CTRL + C for Copy and CTRL + V for Paste are two that you really do want to take the time to learn.
 PS. Why V for Paste? That's easy to answer. CTRL + P is already taken, it tells the computer to print. So why use the letter V? It's next to the letter C on your keyboard.

Reinventing the Republic 1st edition
Gender, Migration, and Citizenship in France
Reinventing the Republic 0 9780804757621 _PHONE_
Details about this item
Reinventing the Republic: Early one morning in 1996, the sanctuary of a Parisian church was suddenly disrupted by a police raid. A group of undocumented immigrant families had taken refuge in the church under threat of deportation due to the French state's increasingly restrictive immigration policies. Rather than disperse and hide, these sans-papiers—people literally without papers— came together to bring to light the deep contradictions in the French state's immigration policies and practices.
Reinventing the Republic chronicles the struggle of the sans-papiers to become rights-bearing citizens, and links different social movements to reveal the many ways in which concepts of citizenship and nationality intersect with debates over gender, sexuality, and immigration. Drawing on in-depth interviews and a variety of texts, this disquieting book provides new insights into how exclusion and discrimination operate and influence each other in the world today.
