f \in X}, we say that {A} is invariant with respect to the symmetries in {G}; otherwise, it is not.
Suppose we know that the inequality (1) holds for all {f \in X}, but that there is an imbalance of symmetry: either {A} is {G}-invariant and {B} is not, or vice versa. Suppose first that {A} is {G}-invariant and {B} is not. Substituting {f} by {Tf} in (1) and taking infima, we can then amplify (1) to the stronger inequality
\displaystyle A(f) \leq \inf_{T \in G} B(Tf).
In particular, it is often the case that there is a way to send {T} off to infinity in such a way that the functional {B(Tf)} has a limit {B_\infty(f)}, in which case we obtain the amplification
\displaystyle A(f) \leq B_\infty(f) \ \ \ \ \ (2)
of (1). Note that these amplified inequalities will now be {G}-invariant on both sides (assuming that the way in which we take limits as {T \rightarrow \infty} is itself {G}-invariant, which it often is in practice). Similarly, if {B} is {G}-invariant but {A} is not, we may instead amplify (1) to
\displaystyle \sup_{T \in G} A(Tf) \leq B(f)
and in particular (if {A(Tf)} has a limit {A_\infty(f)} as {T \rightarrow \infty})
\displaystyle A_\infty(f) \leq B(f). \ \ \ \ \ (3)
If neither {A(f)} nor {B(f)} has a {G}-symmetry, one can still use the {G}-symmetry by replacing {f} by {Tf} and taking a limit to conclude that
\displaystyle A_\infty(f) \leq B_\infty(f),
though now this inequality is not obviously stronger than the original inequality (1) (for instance it could well be trivial). In some cases one can also average over {G} instead of taking a limit as {T \rightarrow \infty}, thus averaging a non-invariant inequality into an invariant one.
As discussed in the previous post, this use of amplification gives rise to a general principle about inequalities: the most efficient inequalities are those in which the left-hand side and right-hand side enjoy the same symmetries. It is certainly possible to have true inequalities that have an imbalance of symmetry, but as shown above, such inequalities can always be amplified to more efficient and more symmetric inequalities. In the case when limits such as {A_\infty} and {B_\infty} exist, the limiting functionals {A_\infty(f)} and {B_\infty(f)} are often simpler in form, or more tractable analytically, than their non-limiting counterparts {A(f)} and {B(f)} (this is one of the main reasons why we take limits at infinity in the first place!), and so in many applications there is really no reason to use the weaker and more complicated inequality (1), when stronger, simpler, and more symmetric inequalities such as (2), (3) are available. Among other things, this explains why many of the most useful and natural inequalities one sees in analysis are dimensionally consistent.
One often tries to prove inequalities (1) by directly chaining together simpler inequalities. For instance, one might attempt to prove (1) by by first bounding {A(f)} by some auxiliary quantity {C(f)}, and then bounding {C(f)} by {B(f)}, thus obtaining (1) by chaining together two inequalities
\displaystyle A(f) \leq C(f) \leq B(f). \ \ \ \ \ (4)
A variant of the above principle then asserts that when proving inequalities by such direct methods, one should, whenever possible, try to maintain the symmetries that are present in both sides of the inequality. Why? Well, suppose that we ignored this principle and tried to prove (1) by establishing (4) for some {C} that is not {G}-invariant. Assuming for sake of argument that (4) were actually true, we could amplify the first half {A(f) \leq C(f)} of this inequality to conclude that
\displaystyle A(f) \leq \inf_{T \in G} C(Tf)
and also amplify the second half {C(f) \leq B(f)} of the inequality to conclude that
\displaystyle \sup_{T \in G} C(Tf) \leq B(f)
and hence (4) amplifies to
\displaystyle A(f) \leq \inf_{T \in G} C(Tf) \leq \sup_{T \in G} C(Tf) \leq B(f). \ \ \ \ \ (5)
Let's say for sake of argument that all the quantities involved here are positive numbers (which is often the case in analysis). Then we see in particular that
\displaystyle \frac{\sup_{T \in G} C(Tf)}{\inf_{T \in G} C(Tf)} \leq \frac{B(f)}{A(f)}. \ \ \ \ \ (6)
Informally, (6) asserts that in order for the strategy (4) used to prove (1) to work, the extent to which {C} fails to be {G}-invariant cannot exceed the amount of "room" present in (1). In particular, when dealing with those "extremal" {f} for which the left and right-hand sides of (1) are comparable to each other, one can only have a bounded amount of non-{G}-invariance in the functional {C}. If {C} fails so badly to be {G}-invariant that one does not expect the left-hand side of (6) to be at all bounded in such extremal situations, then the strategy of proving (1) using the intermediate quantity {C} is doomed to failure – even if one has already produced some clever proof of one of the two inequalities {A(f) \leq C(f)} or {C(f) \leq B(f)} needed to make this strategy work. And even if it did work, one could amplify (4) to a simpler inequality
\displaystyle A(f) \leq C_\infty(f) \leq B(f) \ \ \ \ \ (7)
(assuming that the appropriate limit {C_\infty(f) = \lim_{T \rightarrow \infty} C(Tf)} existed) which would likely also be easier to prove (one can take whatever proofs one had in mind of the inequalities in (4), conjugate them by {T}, and take a limit as {T \rightarrow \infty} to extract a proof of (7)).
Here are some simple (but somewhat contrived) examples to illustrate these points. Suppose one wishes to prove the inequality
\displaystyle xy \leq x^2 + y^2 \ \ \ \ \ (8)
for all {x,y>0}. Both sides of this inequality are invariant with respect to interchanging {x} with {y}, so the principle suggests that when proving this inequality directly, one should only use sub-inequalities that are also invariant with respect to this interchange. However, in this particular case there is enough "room" in the inequality that it is possible (though somewhat unnatural) to violate this principle. For instance, one could decide (for whatever reason) to start with the inequality
\displaystyle 0 \leq (x - y/2)^2 = x^2 - xy + y^2/4
to conclude that
\displaystyle xy \leq x^2 + y^2/4
and then use the obvious inequality {x^2 + y^2/4 \leq x^2+y^2} to conclude the proof. Here, the intermediate quantity {x^2 + y^2/4} is not invariant with respect to interchange of {x} and {y}, but the failure is fairly mild (changing {x} and {y} only modifies the quantity {x^2 +

Classroom Lesson to Help Teens Analyze 'March Madness' Beer Ads
The Center for Science in the Public Interest's Campaign for Alcohol-Free Sports TV has teamed up with Media Literacy for Prevention, Critical Thinking, Self-Esteem, to provide educators with a free classroom lesson encouraging students to analyze beer ads aired during this year's NCAA "March Madness" college basketball tournament.
The lesson asks students to watch 1 hour of any NCAA tournament game and keep a log of all alcohol commercials, logos, and sponsorships. The teacher and students then analyze the ads and messages together in class.
We believe that this lesson can be a good tool to stimulate scrutiny and discussion of the commercial connection between alcohol advertising and sports. It can be used in community and youth groups as well as in schools.
Please forward this information to teachers and others who work with young people. We hope this educational exercise will spur greater involvement among young people in efforts to challenge the exploitation of sports by beer marketers. They would be the best messengers to tell college presidents that promoting beer during sports telecasts is inconsistent with efforts to curb student drinking and not in the best interests of higher education.
The NCAA's advertising and promotional standards claim to "exclude those advertisements and advertisers…that do not appear to be in the best interests of higher education and student-athletes." Given the 1,700 deaths and $1.7 billion in lost tuition caused by excessive drinking on college campuses — much of it in the form of beer — it is inconceivable that the NCAA's profiting from beer promotion during the college basketball tournament is in the best interests of higher education, sports, or student welfare.
A TNS Media Intelligence report found that beer was the second-ranked advertising category among the top five advertisers during the 2007 NCAA men's basketball tournament, and that spending for ads for Anheuser-Busch and Miller Brewing Company's beers ranked fourth and fifth among all advertisers.
"Beer companies have a long history of convincing campuses that destructive drinking habits are a normal part of college life," said Dr. Peter DeBenedittis, one of America's foremost media literacy experts. "Teaching students to think critically about alcohol marketing is an effective tool for preventing binge drinking and pressuring campuses to stop selling their students to alcohol marketers."

Elections Code Section 52710, we have reviewed the proposed initiative
regarding Christmas music in public primary and secondary schools (A.G.
File No. 09‑0030).
The current Supreme Court interpretation of the
First Amendment allows public schools to study religious practices,
including holidays, if the tone of the education is not devotional in
nature. That is, art, literature, or music with religious themes may be
presented if they serve the academic goals of the school but may not be
used as a vehicle to promote religious belief. Additionally, school
concerts that present a variety of musical selections may include
Given existing law and judicial interpretation,
schools currently are able to offer Christmas music curricula if the
curricula are used for academic rather than devotional purposes. In
California, the funding for such curricula likely comes from schools'
Proposition 98 funding allocations. Proposition 98 provides a guaranteed
minimum amount of funding for K-14 education.
Requires Christmas Music Curricula.
This measure requires that all public elementary and secondary schools
offer opportunities for its pupils to listen to and/or perform Christmas
music. Schools are further required to provide appropriate notice to
parents and guardians as well as offer alternatives to the Christmas
music curricula should some students choose not to participate. These
opportunities are to be provided during an art or social studies class,
an assembly, or both, at the seasonally appropriate time.
Impact on State School Costs. This
initiative would have no fiscal impact at the state level because it
does not affect Proposition 98 funding levels.
Impact on Local School District Costs.
At the local level, all school districts likely would incur some
additional costs due to the parental notification requirement. Districts
also could incur costs to provide students opportunities to listen to
and/or perform Christmas music and to oversee those students who decide
to opt out of listening to Christmas music. These annual costs, which
would vary by district, probably would be minor.
Summary of Fiscal Effects
This measure would have the following fiscal

Handling Events Programmatically
The SSIS runtime provides a collection of events that occur before, during, and after the validation and execution of a package. These events can be captured in two ways. The first method is by implementing the IDTSEvents interface in a class, and supplying the class as a parameter to the Execute and Validate methods of the package. The second method is by creating DtsEventHandler objects, which can contain other SSIS objects, such as tasks and loops, that are executed when an event in IDTSEvents occurs. This section describes these two methods and provides code examples to demonstrate their use.
Developers who build and execute packages programmatically can receive event notifications during the validation and execution process using the IDTSEvents interface. This is done by creating a class that implements the IDTSEvents interface and providing this class as a parameter to the Validate and Execute methods of a package. The methods of the class are then called by the run-time engine when the events occur.
The DefaultEvents class is a class that already implements the IDTSEvents interface; therefore, another alternative to implementing IDTSEvents directly is to derive from DefaultEvents and override the specific events that you want to respond to. You then provide your class as a parameter to the Validate and Execute methods of the Package to receive event callbacks.
The following code sample demonstrates a class that derives from DefaultEvents, and overrides the OnPreExecute method. The class is then provided as aparameter to the Validate and Execute methods of the package.
using System;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;
namespace Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Samples
{
 class Program
 {
 static void Main(string[] args)
 {
 Package p = new Package();
 MyEventsClass eventsClass = new MyEventsClass();
 p.Validate(null, null, eventsClass, null);
 p.Execute(null, null, eventsClass, null, null);
 Console.Read();
 }
 }
 class MyEventsClass : DefaultEvents
 {
 public override void OnPreExecute(Executable exec, ref bool fireAgain)
 {
 // TODO: Add custom code to handle the event.
 Console.WriteLine("The PreExecute event of the " +
 exec.ToString() + " has been raised.");
 }
 }
}
The run-time engine provides a robust, highly flexible event handling and notification system through the DtsEventHandler object. These objects let you design whole workflows within the event handler, which execute only when the event that the event handler belongs to occurs. The DtsEventHandler object is a container that is executed when the corresponding event on its parent object fires. This architecture lets you create isolated workflows that are executed in response to events that occur on a container. Because DtsEventHandler objects are synchronous, execution does not resume until the event handlers that are attached to the event have returned.
The following code demonstrates how to create a DtsEventHandler object. The code adds a FileSystemTask to the Executables collection of the package, and then creates a DtsEventHandler object for the OnError event of the task. A FileSystemTask is added to the event handler, which is executed when the OnError event occurs for the first FileSystemTask. This example assumes that you have a file that is named C:\Windows\Temp\DemoFile.txt for testing. The first time that you run the sample, if copies the file successfully and the event handler is not called. The second time you run the sample, the first FileSystemTask fails to copy the file (because the value of OverwriteDestinationFile is false), the event handler is called, the second FileSystemTask deletes the source file, and the package reports failure because of the error that occurred.

 fst.Destination = "destinationFile";
 fst.IsDestinationPathVariable = true;
 // Add an event handler for the FileSystemTask's OnError event.
 DtsEventHandler ehOnError = (DtsEventHandler)th.EventHandlers.Add("OnError");
 // Create a second File System task and add it to the event handler.
 // This task deletes the source file if the event handler is called.
 e = ehOnError.Executables.Add("STOCK:FileSystemTask");

Which VESA standard do I have?
Which VESA standard do I have?
Almost all manufacturers of monitors / televisions (such as Acer, Asus, Benq, Dell, Eizo, Grundig, HP, LG, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, Telefunken, Toshiba) provide on the back of the screens corresponding threaded holes for the attachment to a mount systems. The horizontal and vertical pitch of the threaded holes results in the VESA standard. If there is no VESA recording on the back of the TV sets (for example, on a Metz and Loewe model), VESA adapters are used. Below we will give you the answer on how to find out which VESA standard you have.

Your VESA standard can be determined in two ways:
 1. Look at the back of your monitor for threaded holes. The VESA mounting is in the middle of the backside. Mostly the base column of the screen fixed at the VESA mounting. Measure the horizontal and vertical distance of the screw holes (center to center).
 If the distance between the VESA holes is 400 millimeters wide and the height is 200 millimeters, as in the picture on the TV, this corresponds to a VESA measurement of 400 x 200 millimeters (VESA norm = horizontal distance in mm x vertical distance in mm). The 400x200 comply with the VESA MIS-F standard.
 1. If you have the data sheet of your monitor, you will find the VESA information there. Alternatively, you can enter the model number of your TV on the manufacturer website of your screen manufacturer and find there the information you need for the VESA recording.
Common / known VESA standards are:
Most of the monitors are divided into three VESA standards: VESA MIS-D, VESA MIS-E and VESA MIS-F. TVs and monitors up to 14 kg usually have the VESA-MIS-D port, which has a square hole pattern of 75x75 or 100x100 mm. VESA MIS-E compliant monitors are equipped with a rectangular hole pattern of 200x100 mm and carry up to 23 kg. Large televisions usually have the VESA MIS-F standard, which has a hole pattern of 200mm pitch (e.g., 400x200, 600x400mm). However, deviations like 300x300 mm are not uncommon.

Afghan hound, © Kent & Donna Dannenbreed of dog developed as a hunter in the hill country of Afghanistan. It was once thought to have originated several thousand years ago in Egypt, but there is no evidence for this theory. It was brought to Europe in the late 19th century by British soldiers returning from the Indian-Afghan border wars.
The Afghan hound hunts by sight and, in its native Afghanistan, has been used to pursue leopards and gazelles. The animal is adapted to rough country by the structure of its high, wide hipbones. A long-legged dog, the Afghan stands 25 to 27 inches (63.5 to 68.5 cm) high and weighs from 50 to 60 pounds (23 to 27 kg). It has floppy ears, a long topknot, and a long, silky coat of various but usually solid colours. The coat is especially heavy on the forequarters and hindquarters; the Afghan carries its slim tail in an upright curve. The Afghan's appearance has been described as "aristocratic, with a farseeing expression."

Scientist for a Day inspires young scientists
Scientist for a Day saw dozens of budding young scientists visit the Australian Museum for Marine Worlds and Urban Explorer.
As the Museum doors opened on Thursday the 14th and Friday the 15th of January, an excited group of budding young marine scientists joined us for 'Scientist for a Day – Marine Worlds'. Together we learnt about what marine scientists do and then our visitors got to try out being a marine biologist with a rather smelly squid dissection! Using some very cool technology, our new marine detectives investigated a variety of the secret weapons that marine animals use and experienced being taxonomists by identifying some Balmain bug species! We also got to see some very special parts of the marine collection in a behind-the-scenes tour.
With the sun shining down on Monday the 18th, we welcomed some young entomology enthusiasts for 'Scientist for a Day – Urban Explorer'. We investigated the spider community of Hyde Park, by finding and identifying webs. Sorting through leaf litter to find and categorise the insects we found helped our young scientists realise that there are many types of life living under our feet, we just need to notice them! For those interested in the tiny spider that was found, our arachnologist identified it as a mature female Ostearius melanopygius. We saw some amazing pinned insects on a behind-the-scenes tour and also got to hold and draw some live stick insects.
If you were a participant in Scientist for a Day, please comment on this story and share what you learnt!
The Australian Museum runs Scientist for a Day programs for 8-12 year olds during selected school holidays, so stay tuned for details of the next adventure.

text: In this paper, the effects of rotation on the distribution of a layer of oil on a bearing raceway are analyzed in relation to the geometry of the raceway. The research is motivated by the need to understand the behavior of grease lubricated bearings. Some specific aspects of grease lubrication can be understood by approximating the contact as a starved lubricated elastohydrodynamic lubrication contact. In such a contact, the shape and thickness of the inlet layer of oil, supplied to the contact on the running track, are of crucial importance to the film formation and contact performance. Small changes in the distribution of lubricant on the rolling track, as a result of reflow or redistribution, may have a large (local) effect on the film thickness inside the contact. Starting from the Navier–Stokes equations, the free surface thin layer flow equation for axisymmetric rotating surfaces is derived. For the case of bearing applications, it is shown that a simple quasilinear equation can be derived for the layer thickness, as a function of location and time, which can be solved analytically. Experiments have been carried out, measuring the changes of a layer of oil on rotating raceways in time in relation to the rotational speed and the raceway geometry. It is shown that the simplified model accurately predicts the thin layer flow, except in a region near the outflow boundary, where the effect of the boundary condition on the layer shape is crucial. This is further illustrated by results of numerical simulations.

Quota costs, billing, and limits usage is billed by org memory quota.
The cost is $130 per GB of memory reserved per month, with no limit except the quota you set.
You set your memory quota in advance. This helps you control the maximum amount that your team will spend, and helps us avoid over-provisioning resources that won't be used.
(Sandboxes offer resource usage for free, but it is capped at 1 GB of RAM.)
Quotas are associated with and billed to a project IAA number or equivalent billing tag. Quotas are billed by the amount of memory reserved and tallied monthly.
What quotas limit
Quotas provide a not-to-exceed reservation of memory, which you set at the amount appropriate to your usage. In the underlying technical system, quotas also limit number of application routes and service instances, but you can request an expansion of those limits at any time.
Quotas limit the following resources:
If a new application push would exceed your organization's quota, the request will fail with status code 400 and a message that describes the limit that would be exceeded.
Creating app APPLICATION in org ORG / space SPACE as USER… FAILED Server error, status code: 400, error code: 100007, message: You have exceeded the instance memory limit for your organization's quota.

your own, you can easily do it with the help of a few tips and guidelines.
All you need are some essential tools, supplies, and a whole lot of patience.
Take a look at this short, useful guide on how to install a urinal on your own without any problem or inconvenience.
Step 1: Gather Essential Tools
First things first, you need to gather all the supplies that are required to hang or mount a urinal on a wall.
Some of the basic tools and accessories that you will need include:
 - Tape measure
 - Electric drill
 - Clean rag
 - PVC cement
 - Tape
 - Pencil
 - Level
 - Plywood
 - Drill bits
 - Drywall saw
 - Carpenter's level
Step 2: Fit the Mounting Board for Support
Once you have all the tools well in place, the next step is to fit a mounting board to the wall in order to provide support to the urinal.
For this, take a piece of weather-treated plywood and then adequately secure it on the wall studs with the help of some nails.
Step 3: Add a Water Line
At this point, you need to determine where the water supply will be located so that you can add the water line.
You can use a stencil here to mark the exact locations at a height of 24 inches. Drill pilot holes with the help of a drill machine.
The holes will be drilled where you'll be mounting the hanger screws.
Then, use the drywall saw to remove the required drywall in order to attach the wastewater line along with the water supply line in the marked location.
Place the pipes in the correct position in a way that they attach to the front of the faucet.
Try to make sure that you add a shut-off valve before placing the pipe in its desired position.
This will make it easy for you to turn off the water supply whenever you want.
Step 4: Attach the Urinal Wall Hangers
Urinal Wall Hangers
With the help of the supplied screws and nails, you should now mount the urinal wall hangers in their respective positions.
Use a carpenter's level to make sure that the hangers are mounted correctly at the same level.
You can adjust them as per your requirements.
Also, another important thing to do is to screw the wall hangers not only to the wall but also to the supporting wooden mounting board that you attached earlier in step 2.
Step 5: Install a Drain in the Urinal
Before hanging the urinal on the wall, fit the drain first into the urinal.
Add a layer of caulk to the ring of metal present at the bottom of the urinal by placing a strainer into the hole.
Press it down further till it is sealed tightly.
Additionally, add a combination of rubber and metal washers on the other side of the urinal, underneath the strainer, and secure it further with the help of a nut or two.
Step 6: Install Waste Outlet
With the help of PVC cement, connect the waste outlet to the waste pipe that you installed earlier.
Make sure that the outlet connection is exactly where it should be to prevent any problems later.
Step 7: Hang the Urinal
This is the final step for how to install a urinal. Carefully lift it and hold it above the wall hangers and align the position of the urinal according to that of the waste outlet.
Attach it in a way that the waste opening is located behind the urinal.
Place it well into the hangers and tighten the screws just enough to hold the urinal firmly against the wall.
Over-tightening will simply crack the porcelain surface of the urinal, so don't tighten the attachment screws too much.
How High Should a Urinal Be Mounted?
Man Installing A Urinal
For standard home use, installing a wall-mounted urinal should be done at a height of 24 inches, which is the average height for mounting a wall urinal.
The said 24 inches are basically measured from the floor all the way up to the rim of the urinal.
Although this is the standard height for a wall-urinal, it can still vary depending on where you live because different residential communities tend to have specific regulations and rules when it comes to urinals.
It is best to check the local codes of your building when installing a urinal in your bathroom or toilet.
Do Urinals Have Built-In Traps?
Yes, some models and types of urinals do come with built-in traps that play a very important role in the entire process.
For instance, a standard urinal has a pipe known as a "P-trap" where all the water is flushed into it by the urinal.
This P-trap is designed in a way that it forms a water seal to prevent the escape of sewer gases into the atmosphere.
Also, most water-free or waterless urinals feature a built-in 'EcoTrap,' which serves two main purposes.
Firstly, it allows a smooth, uninterrupted flow of urine to the bottom of the urinal until it reaches plumbing sewer connections.
Secondly, it also prevents the escape of sewer odors and stops them from affecting the indoor air quality of the restroom.
Are Urinals Hygienic?
Man Cleaning Urinals
The thing with urinals is that you must use them properly if you wish to ensure their good hygiene and cleanliness.
Additionally, you need to follow a proper cleaning routine if you have urinals in your home.
Try to make sure that the faucets, pipes, and other fittings are cleaned daily and sanitized regularly.
Additionally, you can also place disposable urinal mats on the floor in order to help dispel unpleasant odor from the air and keep it fresh.
However, on the other hand, waterless or water-free urinals that we discussed earlier are considered to be completely hygienic since they don't make use of any water.
No water means that the surface of these urinals is always dry and barely ever damp, which greatly prevents the growth of bacteria and mold. This ensures great hygiene and cleanliness at all times.
Final Word
Now that you've learned how to install a urinal, you can easily make the switch from traditional toilets to modern, waterless urinals that not only prevent water wastage, but also save a lot of your time, money, and efforts at the same time.

Throughput time between one activity and multiple others
Hello everyone,
Is there the possibility of calculating the throughput time between between one activity lets say 'Create Order' and multiple occuring activities, lets say 'Change date'. The problem is that Change date can happen multiple time and at each occurance the time between create order and change date should be caluclated.
The process is for example:
'Create Order'-> '…' -> 'Change date' -> '…' -> 'Change date'
The result, which i want to see is a histogram chart with the information:
number of occurances
number of days between create order and change date
In this example giving me 2 bars for each time difference.
Hope i made my case clear.
Thanks for any support!
Hi there,
You can solve this problem through the use of AVTIVITY_LEAD which allows you to identify Activity Sequences and do calculations on them. Here you can find more information on this:
To create a histogram, you can then use custom dimensions to show your result.
Hope that helps,

Bivouac of the Dead
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A plaque quoting the poem at Golden Gate National Cemetery
A plaque at Cave Hill Cemetery quoting the Bivouac of the Dead
The Bivouac of the Dead is a poem written by Danville, Kentucky native, Theodore O'Hara to honor his fellow soldiers from Kentucky who died in the Mexican-American War. The poem increased its popularity after the Civil War, and its verses have been featured on many memorials to fallen Confederate soldiers in the Southern United States, and are even to be found on many memorials in Arlington National Cemetery, including Arlington's gateway.[1]
When war against Mexico was declared in May 1846, O'Hara left Washington, D.C. to return to his native Kentucky in order to enlist. Within a month, he was appointed Captain of the Kentucky Volunteers, and served as their assistant quartermaster. Before he returned to Kentucky in 1847, he was made a brevet major. After hearing of the severe losses that the 2nd Kentucky Infantry and Kentucky cavalry suffered from the Battle of Buena Vista, O'Hara wrote the Bivouac of the Dead in dedication of the fallen troops. When many of the fallen Kentuckians were buried in Frankfort Cemetery on July 20, 1847, future congressman and U.S. Vice President John C. Breckinridge spoke for an hour at the event. Whether or not O'Hara spoke Bivouac of the Dead is disputed, but it is commonly believed that he did. It is agreed he spoke the poem in 1850 at the same cemetery, for the interment of William T. Barry and General Charles Scott. Bivouac of the Dead would later be called "a worthy contribution to American Literature." It was first published in the Frankfort Yeoman in 1850. However, modern historians have also claimed it was not written until 1851, after Narciso López's failed attempt to remove Cuba from Spanish control.[1][2][3][4]
O'Hara was known to change the lyrics to Bivouac. Alternations included removing mentions of specific places, and removing various stanzas. In 1858 the Mobile Register published what is believed to be the original version, with the Louisville Courier publishing the original with an introduction stating it was the version spoken at the 1847 ceremony, reflecting the changes in the poem. In 1900 The New York Times devoted an article decrying all the alterations to the poem, and stressed returning to the original version.[2][5]
When O'Hara was reinterred at Frankfort Cemetery, a friend used Bivouac as the eulogy.[2]
The first monument to the fallen Confederate States of America in Kentucky, the Confederate Monument in Cynthiana, used a verse from the Bivouac of the Dead. Six other monuments in Kentucky also used parts of the poem on memorials to fallen Confederates.[6] Portions of the poem are also displayed on 7 plaques at Finn's Point National Cemetery in Pennsville, New Jersey, where a significant number of Confederate Soldiers who died in captivity during the American Civil War are buried.
It was Montgomery C. Meigs who chose to quote Bivouac of the Dead for the entrance into Arlington, due to its solemn appeal. However, at Arlington and many other national cemeteries, O'Hara was not credited due to having fought for the Confederacy.[2]
During the late 1920s and 1930s, instances of Bivouac on markers throughout national cemeteries were removed, leaving only fourteen with Bivouac verses on tablets. In 2001, the National Cemetery Administration began returning the first stanza to any national cemetery in which the poem is missing.[2]
Parts of the poem may be found at Marye's Heights in Fredericksburg, Virginia Also, The national cemetery (Union soldiers only) at Antietam in Sharpsburg MD has phases from the first stanza on markers at various points.

That would fit a context such as KdrV A224/B271, where Kant equates [den Begriff eines Triangels] konstruieren (to construct/construe the concept of a triangle) with to give [the concept] an object, i.e. to give it what he elsewhere calls a reference [Beziehung] to objects, and hence a significance [Bedeutung] (A1456/B185), or, taking Bedeutung more broadly: to give it an imagined significance [eingebildete Bedeutung] (A84/B117), as opposed to a mere logical significance (A147/B186). To construe, that is, interpret, is to give significance.
Unfortunately, this appears not to be an accepted sense of the German verb (and moreover, according to the OED, is only a late and derivative sense of the English one). Moreover, we have to take into account another use of konstruieren in the exact same passage (from the proof of the First Postulate). Kant also talks there about the synthesis wodurch wir in der Einbildungskraft einen Triangle konstruieren (A224/B271). Whatever that means, it doesnt mean by which we construe (= interpret) a triangle in the imagination.
Many would take it, instead, to mean something like: by which we construct (= build up) a triangle out of imaginary pieces, using an imaginary compass and an imaginary ruler, on a piece of imaginary paper. But that in itself makes little sense. Moreover, to the extent that it does make sense, it leads straight back to Descartess argument that we cant do any such imaginary drawing in the case of a chiliagon (a point of which Kant is well aware: see A140/B17980). Finally, such an understanding of konstruieren wouldnt work at all in the first example, where Kant talks of constructing the concept of a triangle. A concept presumably cant be drawn on any paper, no matter how imaginary.
So my new thought is this: that both of these ways of talking are short for: einen Begriff mit einem Gegenstand konstruieren, to construe a concept with an object (on the model of: to construe a verb with an object).
If we can construe a concept with an object (via a schema), then we know that it is at least the concept of an ens imaginarium (not, like the concept diangle, that of a nihil negativum [A291/B348]; and not, of course, of an ens rationis or nihil privativum, either). What hes saying in the proof of the First Postulate (i.e., the proof that what agrees with the formal conditions of experience (according to intuitions and concepts) is possible [A218/B265]) is that to promote a concept from the concept of an ens imaginarium (which, although not impossible, is still a kind of nothing) to the concept of a possible being, we need to connect the procedure of the imagination in the schema of that concept to the synthesis of the imagination in perception.
So the object of the concept triangle would remain always only a product of the imagination if it were not that
The very same [eben dieselbe] imaging synthesis by which we construe a triangle [with its concept] in the imagination is wholly the same as [mit einerlei] that which we exercise in the apprehension of an appearance, in order to make from it an empirical concept. (again, A224/B271)
The concept triangle passes this test, but the concepts of pure time and pure space as such, die zwar Etwas sind, als Formen anzuschauen, aber selbst keine Gegenstände sind, die angeschaut werden [A291/B347], do not. The synthesis by which the pure imagination produces time and space as pure images of the categories is not the same as any synthesis of the empirical imagination in perception (but is rather a condition of possibility of all such empirical synthesis). Hence the concepts of time and space are concepts of entia imaginaria.1
However, Im not sure yet if this will work in other places or whether Kant anywhere actually uses the locution to construe a concept with an object.
1 The ursprünglich pure intuitions of time and space, I take it, do not have objects: intuitions without concepts are blind.

So you upgraded your Android phone or tablet to Android 4.1.2 or higher and now you get a "Please enable Google apps location access" error whenever accessing Google Maps or Google Now. What is this damn error and how do you get rid of it? This article spills the beans!
Prior to Android 4.1.2, to find your location in Google Maps all you had to do was enable GPS. Starting in Android 4.1.2, however, Google has made a change. You still need to enable GPS. However, in addition to enabling GPS, you need to explicitly give access to all Google apps to allow them to find your location. If you don't do this second step then you will get a "Please enable Google apps location access" error in Google Maps, Google Now, and any other Google app that tries to use your location.
Why did Google make this change? I'm not sure.
How to enable Google apps location access
As I just mentioned, before you can proceed further, you need to make sure you have GPS enabled. To enable GPS, go to 'System settings' -> 'Location access' -> flip 'Access to my location' to on -> check the box for 'GPS satellites'; you will also have to agree or disagree to send Google anonymous location data. Once you have GPS enabled, you need to do the following to give Google apps access to your location so you can start using Google Maps, Google Now, etc.:
- Go to 'System settings' -> 'Accounts' -> 'Google'
- Scroll to the bottom and tap on 'Location settings'
- Flip the switch for 'Let Google apps access your location' to 'On'
Once you do the above, you will no longer get the "Please enable Google apps location access" error in Google Maps, Google Now, or any other Google app.
If you ever want to revoke location access for Google apps, simply repeat the same process mentioned above except flip the switch for 'Let Google apps access your location' to 'Off'
Google definitely made this whole process a lot more confusing than it needs to be. However, it is a one-time thing — you set it once and you never have to worry about it again. Enjoy!

Low levels on Mississippi River expose fossils & thrill local fossil hunters
POSTED: Saturday, October 27, 2012 - 3:00pm
UPDATED: Saturday, October 27, 2012 - 3:04pm
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — The water level on the Mississippi river has been unusually low this year due to the drought in the nation's heart land.
While the low water is a problem for the shipping industry, there is at least one group who loves it when the river is down.
People are out combing the normally water covered bottom that has been exposed, for a rarity, fossils.
John Moore, known better by his nickname of Puddin', has been searching the river for decades and has piles of bones in his shop on south walnut street in Greenville.
George Phillips, Paleontology Curator with the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, says most of the fossil bones found in the Mississippi river are from the late ice age.
It has been a great fossil hunting season for the hunters.
"This year more than the other years because of the low water," said Phillips. "You look for the gravel bars. That's where you find most of it, in the gravel bars. Very seldom you find anything in the sand."


A simplified disproof of Beck's three permutations conjecture and an application to root-mean-squared discrepancy
Cole Franks
A $k$-permutation family on $n$ vertices is a set system consisting of the intervals of $k$ permutations of the integers $1$ through $n$. The discrepancy of a set system is the minimum over all red-blue vertex colorings of the maximum difference between the number of red and blue vertices in any set in the system. In 2011, Newman and Nikolov disproved a conjecture of Beck that the discrepancy of any $3$-permutation family is at most a constant independent of $n$. Here we give a simpler proof that Newman and Nikolov's sequence of $3$-permutation families has discrepancy $\Omega(\log n)$. We also exhibit a sequence of $6$-permutation families with root-mean-squared discrepancy $\Omega(\sqrt{\log n})$; that is, in any red-blue vertex coloring, the square root of the expected difference between the number of red and blue vertices in an interval of the system is $\Omega(\sqrt{\log n})$.

The project management information system (PMIS) has recently been developed by using the IT technology in order to implement advanced information management technology to construction industry in Korea. The PMIS has been applied not only to domestic construction projects, but also to some overseas projects executed by Korean construction companies. This study was performed to develop the PMIS that is tailored to the US construction IT market. The US construction IT market has been monopolized by the US-based IT companies, but other companies are recently emerging with competitive technology and market strategy. As a preceding study, existing systems commercially available were analyzed, and the required features of the PMIS were identified by analyzing the core elements of contract, process and cost management for construction projects in the US. The PMIS then was developed based on the aforementioned analysis results. The system includes the document management module with an internal electronic approval system, the cost-plus-based automatic labor cost calculation module, and the progress management module to support the integrated project cost management. In addition, the functionality of the developed system was verified by construction project management experts in the US via questionnaire survey. The PMIS, which was developed in this study, is expected to be applied not only to the US construction IT market as a system specialized for the US construction industry, but also to other overseas markets in the future.

Mexican cantil (Agkistrodon bilineatus)
Mexican cantil fact file
- Find out more
- Print factsheet
Mexican cantil description
The Mexican cantil is a venomous pitviper that is greatly feared by humans throughout its range (2). Like all pitvipers, the Mexican cantil has a pair of heat-sensitive pits, located between the eye and nostril on each side of the head (2). Its body is a dark brown ground colour, overlaid with darker brown or black bands, often fringed with white or cream scales (2). Juvenile cantils usually possess more distinctive banding and brightly coloured tails, used to lure prey (2) (4).
The generic name, Agkistrodon, is derived from the Greek Ancistro,meaning 'hook', and odon, meaning 'tooth', referring to the hinged, hollow fangs of this species (2). The Mexican cantil has the longest fangs of any species within the Agkistrodon genus, growing to over one centimetre in length (2). The specific name, bilineatus, refers to the pair of striking pale stripes on each side of the head: bi-means 'two' and lineatus means 'lined' in Latin (2).
- Also known as
- cantil, Mexican moccasin.
- Cantil, Castellana. Top

- The first of the two scientific names by which an animal is identified. An animal's scientific name is the same throughout the world, although it may have different common names in different countries and languages.
- A category used in taxonomy, which is below 'family' and above 'species'. A genus tends to contain species that have characteristics in common. The genus forms the first part of a 'binomial' Latin species name; the second part is the specific name.
- An animal with no backbone. Invertebrates include insects, crustaceans, worms, molluscs and spiders.
- Specific name
- The second of the two scientific names by which an animal is identified.
- A population usually restricted to a geographical area that differs from other populations of the same species, but not to the extent of being classified as a separate species.
- Animals with a backbone.

Mexican cantil biology
The diverse habitats occupied by the Mexican cantil throughout its range suggest it is a semi-aquatic species (2). Individuals have been recorded swimming in streams, marshes and even roadside ditches after nightfall, and the majority of evidence indicates that this species is primarily active at night (2). Adult cantils prey upon a variety of vertebrates, including amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals (2), and there is a single record of a treesnake being consumed (6). Juveniles lure potential prey by 'wiggling' the bright yellow tail as if to mimic an invertebrate, attracting frogs and lizards (2) (7).
The Mexican cantil gives birth to live young (2). Mating usually occurs between December and April, with individuals giving birth from June until August, during the rainy season (2). There are usually five to ten young in a litter, although extremes of three to twenty have been recorded (2).Top
Mexican cantil range
The Mexican cantil is comprised of three geographically distinct subspecies (2) (3). The subspecies Agkistrodon bilineatus bilineatus occurs along the Pacific coast of Central America, from southern Sonora, Mexico, through Guatemala to El Salvador (5). Agkistrodon bilineatus howardgloydi is distributed throughout north-western Costa Rica and western Nicaragua, and has a limited range in El Salvador and Honduras (5). Agkistrodon bilineatus russeolusis found in northern Belize and the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico (5).Top
Mexican cantil habitat
The Mexican cantil occurs in a vast range of habitats, including seasonally dry forest, tropical deciduous forest, tropical scrub forest and savanna (2). Habitat bordering rivers or streams is preferred, but it may also occur in grasslands and cultivated lands (1).Top
Mexican cantil status
Classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List (1).Top
Mexican cantil threats
Despite its extensive distribution throughout Central America, the Mexican cantil is one of the most endangered snakes in the Americas (2). This is due to the conversion of tropical forest and thorn scrub for agricultural purposes (5), combined with human persecution throughout its fragmented range (1). Populations have suffered declines of nearly 30 percent over the past 30 years and, sadly, populations continue to decrease today (1).Top
Mexican cantil conservation
The Mexican cantil occurs in two protected areas in Mexico: the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve and the Chamela Biological Station (1). The species is not currently afforded any protection from international trade by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) (8).Top

David Anhaght': The 'Invincible' Philosopher
Avedis K. Sanjian
The fifth/sixth century Armenian Neoplatonist David Anhaght' is recognized as the founder of several branches of Armenian philosophy, particularly logic. His philosophical writings have been studied by generations of Armenian scholars, and during the past several decades have been the focus of intensive scholarly attention in the former Soviet Armenia and elsewhere.
In 1980 David's 1500th anniversary was marked by an international conference in Erevan. A year later a group of scholars participated in a symposium at UCLA and their analyses are presented in this volume.

10 May 2006
More than 12,000 school children participated this morning in the Caring for Others School Project, a volunteer awareness event organized by the 18 Centraides of Quebec
, a volunteer-led organization, in Canada.
Thanks to the participation of the schools and local community agencies, the children, ages nine and 10 from 280 schools, were made aware of the values of volunteering and community service.
They were visited by hundreds of volunteers and community workers from Centraide supported agencies who explained to them why it is so important to give something back to the community, and told them about their personal experience of "Caring for Others", a Centraide project.
The Caring for Others School Project has two components. First, a preparatory phase during which students complete a workbook in class with their teacher. This workbook contains exercises and games designed to introduce the students to the concepts of caring and volunteering, to encourage them to help others, and to show them how to identify and meet the needs of people in their own community.
Second, the Caring for Others event per se, during which volunteers and staffers from local community agencies come and speak to the students in order to put a face on the concepts which they learned in class.
"The Caring for Others School Project is a wonderful tool for teaching children about the role played by volunteers and the community agencies," said Louis Champoux, president of the Assembly of Quebec Centraides. "By means of exercises, games and personal testimony, we awaken kids to the fact that volunteering meets real needs in their own neighbourhood, and that you're never too young to get involved and show you care."
The Caring for Others School Project is an initiative of the Centraides of Quebec. Since its inception in 2000, this awareness activity has reached more than 93,000 grade four students in every region of the province.

Zemana Uninstall Tool
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware stopped updating its obsolete database a few weeks ago by sometimes stating that it could not access the database server and that sometimes an update was not available. Unfortunately, some versions of Zemana AntiMalware seem to have bugs that prevent users from easily uninstalling this utility. The Antilogger.sys file is suspected to be causing the removal problem. Nevertheless, rest assured that we will propose several solutions to this problem.
Solution 1: Remove the software using the unins000.exe file.
- Enter the file explorer. Click the Folder icon on the taskbar or search for it by typing "Folder Options" after clicking Start.
- Open the local disk where you installed the Zemana AntiMalware program. Then open Program Files (x86)> Zemana AntiMalware.
- In the created folder, double-click the Unins000.exe file. After activation, the deletion process should begin.
- When the procedure is complete, enter the registry editor. Click the Start button, then type regedit and press Enter.
- Find these folders:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Zemana \
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Zemana
Delete them to completely eliminate Zemana Antimalware. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
Solution 2: Uninstall Zemana Antimalware through programs and features
- Click Start. Tap Apps / Programs and Features.
- Find the Zemana AntiMalware app and choose Uninstall.

First, read my other post HERE to understand the information about "domestic student status."
HOWEVER: Children born overseas who's parents are NZ Citizens or Residents, where the child has come here on a Visa (eg visitor or student visa) and none of the other definitions apply, then they do NOT have domestic student status.
Without domestic student status there are some things they cannot access....
- They are not required to attend school by law, nor can they for free, but only as fee-paying international students.
- They cannot (do not need to) gain a home education exemption and thus can not get the Supervision Allowance
- They cannot access free enrolment in Te Kura (the Correspondence School) otherwise available to students over 16 for high school qualifications.
But they are still entitled to health care...
This means that a foreign-born child of a NZ citizen/resident who does not have domestic student status is still entitled to:
- Free primary health care for under 13's
- Vision and hearing checks
- Free dental care under 18
- Publicly funded health and disability services such as a hospital, primary health care doctor etc
Some might consider this good news......
To be clear....
- If the parent is a NZ citizen or has NZ residency, the child was born overseas and is here on a Student visa, then the child does not have domestic student status. However, if the other parent is here, for example, on a work or study visa, then the child would still have domestic student status through that parent. Crazy, I know - but essentially it means children here solely because their parents are citizens/residents of NZ have less recognition than children who's parents are foreign nationals here to work or study.
- If a parent is a NZ citizen other then by descent, their foreign-born child is entitled to citizenship-by-descent (and a NZ passport), and as the application fees for citizenship are less than the fees for a student visa, then those parents might choose to apply for citizenship for the child rather than a visa. With citizenship, they would have domestic student status.
- If the parent is a citizen-by-descent themselves, their foreign-born child is not entitled to citizenship, and so would come here on a visa, and thus not have domestic student status. They might choose to delay a residency application for their child (due to the high cost) and so until they submit one, the child continues not to have domestic student status (assuming they don't have it through the second parent as above).
- If a family choose to put an application for citizenship or residency in for the child who is here on a student visa, then as soon as that application is submitted and is being considered by Immigration NZ, the child has domestic student status and is subject to enrollment or exemption requirements.
How schools can work around this.....
This does not apply to home education - if your child does not have domestic student status, you can carry on home educating them; there is no paperwork to complete.
Options to consider if you want your child to have domestic student status
- First, check all the definitions in the Gazette notice and find out if your child would already have domestic student status due to circumstances such as the other parent's visa or other situations covered in the gazette notice.
- Consider whether your child is eligible for citizenship-by-descent, and if so, consider applying for that
- Make an application for residency for your child

Here's a video that will take you through the steps of making a storm glass; a smart device that can give you a weather update!
The storm glass or chemical barometer already exist in 1750 but was not popularly known and used until the 19th century. The crystals in a chemical barometer are made up of three solid components that were dissolved in the heat but somehow form a mass on their own as the climate conditions change every day. Note that the amount of each component used in making a storm glass may need to be adapted to your local climate, since storm-glass instruments were all intended for use in cold climate zones. Are you ready to predict the weather? Follow the instructions below, and start making your storm glass today!
- Vodka, 100 Proof (50% Ethanol) – 300 mL
- Camphor – 28g (1oz)
- Potassium Nitrate – 10g
- Ammonium Chloride – 10g
1. Pour in 300 ml of vodka in a jar
2. Add 1 cube of camphor to the vodka
3. Add 10 g potassium nitrate
4. Add 10 g ammonium chloride
5. In a pot lightly heat some water then immerse the jar to dissolve all the solid components. This will show you the degree to which one substance is able to dissolve in another
6. While heating, cover the jar lightly. Do not use a tight cover as this will cause pressure to build up inside the jar
7. Put a couple of ice cubes on the lid to reduce any alcohol that may evaporate
8. Turn off the burner once all the solids have dissolved and allow the water to cool down before you put the sealing ring of the jar
9. Place in a non-climate controlled area in your house
To reset your storm glass, place the jar in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes. Wait for the old crystals to dissolve completely. Always loosen the jars' lid when reheating to prevent pressure build-up.


NCLOAD is the jCommon module of jLab.
 NCLOAD Load all variables from a NetCDF file and convert trajectories to cells.

 NCLOAD(FILENAME) loads all variables from the NetCDF file FILENAME and
 places them into a structure of the same name in the calling workspace.
 The extension '.nc' in FILENAME is optional.

 If FILENAME contains a full pathname, only the final portion after the
 last '/' or '\' is used for the structure name.

 Note that any hyphens '-' in the filename are replaced with underscores
 in the structure name, as the former are not allowed in variable names.

 For example, if FILENAME='/Home/data' contains variables 'num', 'lat',
 and 'lon', then the result of calling NCLOAD('data') will be a
 structure 'data' with fields 'data.num', 'data.lat', and 'data.lon'.

 Then USE can be used to map these variables into the main workspace.

 NCLOAD(FILENAME,VAR1,VAR2,...,VARN) will only load the variables with
 the names VAR1, VAR2,...VARN.

 NCLOAD will convert any variables that are numeric but not doubles to
 doubles. This is because experience has shown using other data types
 in code that is expecting doubles can lead to errors in Matlab.
 __________________________________________________________________

 Convert trajectory data

 In addition, if FILENAME has the global attribute

 featureType = 'trajectory'

 then any variables in FILENAME are have 'Dimensions: obs' will be
 interpreted as concatentated trajectory data, following the NetCDF
 Climate and Forecast (CF) Metadata Conventions Appendix H.4.3

 _URL_

 NCLOAD adopts the convention that a variable named 'ids', having
 'Dimensions: obs', provides the id for all other variables.

 All variables of dimension obs will be converted to cell arrays by
 first calling COLBREAKS using ids as the first argument, then COL2CELL.

 Alternatively, all variables with 'Dimensions: obs' will be
 interpreted as being in the NaN-separated column format used by
 COL2CELL, which will be called to put then in cell array format. This
 format is supported to provide for reverse compatibility; it is
 recommended to use the CF trajectory convention instead.
 __________________________________________________________________

 The following formats also work:

 ncload filename
 ncload filename var1 var2 ... varN

 In this format, the input strings have to be the actual names of the
 file and variables, as opposed to variables containing those names.

 This is basically a way to conveniently work with small NetCDF files as
 if they were mat-files. Typically, NetCDF files load much faster.

 Usage: ncload(filename);
 ncload filename
 ncload(filename,'num','lat','lon');
 ncload filename num lat lon

The Tax of Physics, The Physics of Tax
Stephen B. Cohen
Georgetown University Law Center
The Green Bag
Sometimes ideas from science illuminate muddled legal thinking. Physics teaches that for every particle of matter, there exists a corresponding particle of anti-matter. The idea of anti-matter helps explain the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals decision in Bradford v. Commissioner, which involved a baffling departure from established rules for taxing the discharge of a debt for less than the full amount owed.

TRIVIAL PURSUITS: What is the difference between a green olive and a black olive?
One may think that green and black olives are two different fruits (or vegetables?).
First of all, according to the Oxford dictionary, an olive, just like a plum or a cherry, is a fruit. The olive is the small, bitter-tasting fruit of the olive tree, Olea europea. Olives are classified as fruit because they're formed from the ovary of the olive flower, and they're seed-bearing structures—the pits could grow into trees if you planted them. In culinary terms, however, olives are like those other fruit, tomatoes, and are treated as a vegetable.
Green olives are not from a different tree than black olives, they are just picked before they are ripe.

Here's Why Coke Had Different Taste Around the Globe
Dec 30, 2020 12:20 AM EST | By Josh Summers (
Here's Why Coke have a Different taste Around the World
(Photo : Justin Sullivan)
An aerial drone view of a Coca-Cola billboard in the South of Market Area on October 26, 2020 in San Francisco, California. A Coca-Cola billboard that has been park of San Francisco's South of Market landscape since 1937 is slated to be taken down by the Coca-Cola company. The removal will cost an estimated $100,000.
Whenever people get thirsty, drinking a bottle of cola, like Coke, can help you soothe that feeling. Typically, it has the same taste, but have you ever wondered how it tastes in other countries around the world?
According to Small Business, the Coca-Cola Company produces syrup concentrate then sells them to bottlers around the globe who can manufacture and distribute the finished products to different vending partners and consumers.
You might think that it might taste the same because technically, Coke is owned by one company worldwide. But according to Mashed, the beverage may taste different in other countries. It even mentioned a discussion that weighs if Mexican Coke tastes better than the Coke in the United States.
Easy Co2 also says that Coke from around the world does not have the same taste.

Different taste of Coke from Around the world
Coke tastes different from around the world because of certain factors that affect the product itself.
Mashed mentions that one notable difference between the Coke from the United States and other parts of the world is the sugar added to the drink. Easy Co2 adds that the companies who own franchises can decide their water level, carbonation, and sweeteners mixed with the Coke concentrate.
Easy Co2 furthers that companies can also decide whether to use less concentrate, sugar, and carbonation. In this way, the beverage could be adjusted to the region's palate or taste.
Thus, even a global brand could adjust its product's taste based on its location. For example, when McDonald's China releases their Spam and Oreo burger, which leads some people shock and awe.
Another factor that makes Coke's taste a little bit distinct from each other is the sugar that is used. Mashed mentions that Mexican Coke utilizes cane sugar, while American Coke uses high fructose corn syrup.
Easy Co2 explains that this is done because sugar has a higher price in the United States. That is why only the US is the country that uses this kind of sweetener for its famous beverage.
Coca-Cola explains on its website that the same fizzy drink can have a slight difference in the taste. Coca-Cola Middle East issues the same statement and says that this can happen because of the difference in the temperature where the product is consumed, the foods partnered, and the storage's condition, where the beverage is situated before consuming.
Even though the taste is likely different from each one, fizzy drinks like Coke shall be taken in moderation because it still has sweeteners added to satisfy people's taste and palate.

Body piercing is not without risk. Sometimes a piercing may be rejected, which can cause discomfort and scarring. Spotting a piercing rejection early can reduce scarring and damage to the skin.
In this article, we look at the causes and symptoms of piercing rejection, and how to stop it from happening.

The body may try to reject a piercing because it is a foreign object.
Sometimes, the body's immune response sees the jewelry as a foreign object and rejects it.
Piercing rejection can cause discomfort and scarring.
The following can help reduce the risk of piercing rejection:
 - choosing a qualified and experienced piercer
 - using proper jewelry
 - practicing proper piercing aftercare
Anyone who has piercings should keep a careful eye on them while they heal. Catching a piercing rejection early can reduce scarring or damage to the skin.
A piercing rejection usually happens gradually. Symptoms tend to appear several days or weeks before the body finally pushes the jewelry out of the skin in a process called migration.
Signs that a piercing is migrating and possibly being rejected include:
 - more of the jewelry becoming visible on the outside of the piercing
 - the piercing remaining sore, red, irritated, or dry after the first few days
 - the jewelry becoming visible under the skin
 - the piercing hole appearing to be getting larger
 - the jewelry looking like it is hanging differently
 - the jewelry moving more freely than it should
Share on Pinterest
Surface piercings, such as nape piercings, are at risk of rejection, which can lead to scarring.
Any piercing has the potential to be rejected. Rejection depends on the person's immune system and how well the piercing heals. But, the body tends to reject some types of piercings more often than others.
Surface piercings are the most common types of piercing to be rejected by the body. Surface piercings travel along an area of skin, rather than going directly through a body part. The jewelry punctures only a small amount of the skin's surface.
Examples of surface piercings include eyebrows, neck, hip, and wrist.
Surface piercings may be prone to rejection just because it is easier for the body to push the jewelry out of a small amount of skin.
Non-surface piercings include the earlobe, ear cartilage, lip, or tongue. These types of piercings go all the way through the body tissue — in one side and out the other.
Non-surface piercings may be rejected less often because there is more tissue to hold them in place, making it more difficult for the body to push them out.
Sometimes, a piercing rejection occurs without an apparent cause. However, the following steps may make a piercing rejection less likely to happen.
Choose the right piercer
It is essential to select a piercer who is familiar with the body's anatomy, the healing process, and where best to place a piercing. Before getting a piercing, talk to the piercer about:
 - The type of piercing. Ask about the specific kind of piercing desired and their experience with it. Their expertise with specific piercing locations. Ask to see photos of piercings they have done in the past. These should show a variety of piercings that look well-suited to individual body types.
 - Their sterilization and safety measures. The Association of Professional Piercers state that every piercer should use an autoclave for sterilizing equipment. Good hygiene can help lower the risk of infection and trouble with healing, both of which can lead to piercing rejection.
 - Other sanitary and health measures. Ask about single-use needles, gloves, and the cleaning of hands and rooms between each customer.
Also, consider reading online reviews or talking to previous customers. Choosing an experienced, skilled, and hygienic piercer is crucial.
Choose the right jewelry
A qualified piercer should recommend a size and type of jewelry best suited to the indivdual's body and the location of the piercing.
Using a thicker piece of jewelry might reduce the risk of rejection.
Using materials such as niobium and titanium offer the lowest risk of irritation and allergies. This can also help speed up the healing process and prevent complications. Research the specific piercing beforehand and the best jewelry size and material for it.
Follow aftercare instructions
Keeping a piercing clean is vital for healing and preventing infection. Do not use harsh cleansers such as peroxide, antibacterial soaps, or alcohol, as they can irritate the skin and delay healing.
Ideally, clean the area with a sterile saline solution or a product recommended by a professional piercer.
Take care not to bump piercings, especially while they heal. An injury to the area could cause irritation, rejection, or migration. Ask the piercer about what precautions to take to protect the piercing during contact sports.
Share on Pinterest
Having a professional remove jewelry when it seems to be moving towards the surface may prevent rejection.
If the piercing appears to be migrating toward the surface, take the following steps:
 - Remove the jewelry and contact the piercer. Keeping the jewelry in increases the chances of scarring. A large scar can prevent a person having a new piercing in the same location after it heals.
 - Ask the piercer about using a different piece of jewelry. Thicker-gauge jewelry or a different shape or material may help the piercing heal and settle into place better.
Most people who experience a piercing rejection will recover without any lasting health issues. However, there may be scarring, which can range from mild to severe.
Scarring can make it difficult or impossible to get a new piercing in the same location. It may also be a cosmetic concern. People who are prone to raised or keloid scars are generally advised to avoid piercings.
Antibiotics may be needed if an infection occurs. Anyone who suspects a piercing infection should discuss it with a doctor.
Signs of infection include the following at the piercing location:
 - redness
 - hot to the touch
 - swelling
 - discharge
With proper antibiotic treatment, most piercing infections heal without long-term problems.
After a piercing rejection, people should think about what may have caused it. Did they follow proper aftercare instructions? Did the piercer use appropriate equipment, technique, and jewelry?
If the piercing was done correctly and the person looked after it properly, the rejection may just be bad luck. A person can sometimes have one rejection then have no problems with future piercings. People should consider the risk of another piercing rejection before getting pierced again.

God of War: Chains of Olympus is a third-person single-player video game viewed from a fixed camera perspective. The player controls the character Kratos in combo-based combat, platforming, and puzzle game elements, and battles foes who primarily stem from Greek mythology, including cyclopes, Gorgons, satyrs, harpies, minotaurs, hoplites, and sphinxes. Morpheus beasts, shades, banshees, fireguards, fire sentries, Hyperion guards, and death knights were created specifically for the game. Platforming elements require the player to climb walls, jump across chasms, swing on ropes, and balance across beams to proceed through sections of the game. Some puzzles are simple, such as moving a box so that the player can use it as a jumping-off point to access a pathway unreachable with normal jumping, but others are more complex, such as finding several items across different areas of the game to unlock one door.


text: Soil being natural and non-manufactured material has proven itself to be most potentially problematic and complex materials to tackle with. The complexity does not arise only because of soil as a material, but also by the fact that various methods to characterize the soil for estimations of constituents, behavior and strength are potentially difficult. In this paper , a study on the effect of stone columns on the behaviour of cohesive soils has been done, it was found that the installation of the stone columns plays a very significant role in improving the bearing capacity of the cohesive soils. The main improvement in cohesive soils takes place by virtue of densification while inserting the stone column, the increase in drainage also plays a great role. The length of the stone columns was found to greatly influence the behaviour of the improvement of the soils. The improvement is very significant for a length of 1B where B is the width/diameter of the footing.

Morro Bay State Park Museum of Natural History
The museum sits on a hill overlooking the Morro Bay estuary, midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, with a view of Morro Rock. It is the only natural history museum in the California State Park system. It has 65,000 visitors annually, including 14,000 children who visit free in support of California's required science and social studies programs.
From 1993 through 2002, the museum was remodeled in a three phase modernization project, with exhibits by Exhibitgroup Giltspur, which has also created exhibits for the Smithsonian and J. Paul Getty museums. Interactive displays focus on the ecology of the Morro Bay estuary, including building a sand dune, operating the hydrologic cycle and creating food chains.
