This is a truth that Japanese knives are most sharpen than Western.Yes! This is sourcing from demand by professionals. Western manufacturer are targeting to home kitchens. This is opinion from us! So! The major Western chef knife makers make a lot of compromises regarding the quality of the knife in order to please even the lowest common denominator of consumers. Just as modern tomatoes have been developed to be beautiful and uniform on the shelf, and have lost some of their original rich flavor, so too have the compromises made by Western knife brands hurt the performance of your knives.
The first and perhaps most significant compromise, is steel, which is the heart of the knife. The steels used by many leading European companies are steels designed to maximize rust resistance and deal with abuse on the part of the user (such as throwing into the sink, grinding in cheap appliances, spending the night in a glass of water, etc.) which severely impairs the performance of their knives. European steels are much softer than their Japanese counterparts. The harder the steel, the greater the sharpness of the blade that the knife can reach. But because harder steel is harder to grind at home and unprofessional and more vulnerable to damage as a result of abuse, Western manufacturers have compromised on performance and chosen to produce soft steel chef knives that offer much less performance. The Japanese knives, on the other hand, are built as a hard-cutting steel sandwich between two layers of shock-absorbing soft steel, a technology whose roots lie directly in forging the katana swords, thus enabling much better performance. Hardness is measured on the Rockwell scale - in the HRC ranks. The leading manufacturers in Europe produce knives with a grade of 52-58 HRC, while the Japanese manufacturers work with steels that reach grades of 60-65, and sometimes also 66+ HRC. To illustrate the difference - a Japanese knife with a rating of 62 HRC is more difficult than a Western knife with a rating of 58 HRC by 46%, a huge difference. As we have noted, it is important to remember that harder knives are more fragile and not built to withstand abuse and use with excessive force. It is therefore advisable for those switching from a western knife to a Japanese knife to exercise discretion while using the knife and re-learn the force required to make a cut, not to apply unnecessary force to the blade unnecessarily, nor to rotate the blade during cutting of hard raw materials like pumpkin for example.

It is therefore advisable for those switching from a western knife to a Japanese knife to exercise discretion while using the knife and re-learn the force required to make a cut, not to apply unnecessary force to the blade unnecessarily, nor to rotate the blade during cutting of hard raw materials like pumpkin for example.
The second major compromise is at an angle to which the western blade of the knife is sharpened. The blade usually comes at an angle of 25 degrees, and sometimes even duller. This means that if we connect the two sides of the blade, we get a total angle of 50 degrees. Western companies make a blade that is resistant to damage, which is why many of the unprofessional users who purchase these knives do not keep their knives - store them scattered in a drawer, sharpen them with cheap electrical appliances, cut them on a glass board and throw them into the sink at the end of work. Match the knives to the "worst" consumer, in order to maximize market share and reduce complaints and returns. A professional or in-house cook, looking for a knife with performance, will have a hard time enjoying such a knife., Cutting accuracy, The freshness and texture of food is an uncompromising issue in Japan. The Japanese mentality is aimed at maximum performance no matter what. Therefore, stainless steels that have conquered the West have not succeeded in Japan, certainly not in professional kitchens, where they are almost non-existent (For information on types of steels ). Japanese manufacturers make knives at a 12-degree angle, that is, 24 total angles.

The number of animals awaiting adoption is integrally tied to length of stay (LOS). In general, the more animals are waiting for adoption, the longer the average length of stay will be. This is another way of thinking about the "odds of adoption" described above.
If 10 animals are waiting at any given time for adoption, and one is adopted each day, the odds of adoption for each animal on any day will be one in 10, and the average length of stay to adoption will inevitably be 10 days. If 20 animals are waiting at any given time for adoption and one is adopted each day, the average LOS will be 20 days. The only way to decrease LOS would be to increase the number of adoptions or decrease the number of animals waiting.
In some cases, the number of adoptions will be increased by making a greater number of animals available. On a short term basis, this can occur with big adoption extravaganzas, where a large number of animals are presented in the context of major publicity, special pricing or other promotions.
In between times, animals should wait in foster care or in homes (via managed intake LINK TO OUR MANAGED INTAKE SECTION) rather than waiting for prolonged periods in the shelter in preparation for big adoption events.
On a longer term basis, having more animals for adoption will lead to increased adoptions only when the reason adopters are not coming to the shelter and going home with a new pet, is that there is not an adequate variety of animals available from which they can choose.
Consider species, age, breed, color, behavior, and special characteristics when evaluating the need for variety. While many adopters are seeking friendly, healthy, young animals, some will seek out hard luck cases, older animals, and those with special challenges. Ideally, survey potential customers to see if they were considering adoption that day, and if so, why they did or didn't choose a pet.
The ASPCA refers to the frequency with which visitors become adopters as "transition rate," and has instructions for creating a customer survey to help understand determinants of transition rate in your shelter.
Beyond the number that ensures adequate variety on a daily basis, fewer animals for adoption at any given time will automatically decrease LOS while maintaining live release: If one animal is adopted each day, the annual adoption number will be 365, whether 10 or 100 animals are waiting for that adoption at any given time.
Finding that perfect "adoption number" is made both more critical and more complicated by the fact that length of stay is not neutral for shelter animals. Some animals will benefit from the opportunity to stay longer in the shelter, particularly those who will receive active treatment or rehabilitation while awaiting adoption, or those who have a unique characteristic (e.g. very large dogs, animals with conditions requiring special care) that makes them suited for a limited number of adopters that come along relatively rarely.
However, for most animals that enter the shelter healthy and friendly, increased length of stay tends to be detrimental rather than beneficial. The more stressful the conditions in the shelter and the less optimal the housing, the more this will be true.
Multiple studies have documented time in the shelter as the single greatest risk factor for illness in shelter dogs and cats [1-3]. In turn, illness contributes to yet longer stays – a detour within the shelter system with substantial cost and yet more challenges for care. An animal who is depressed or develops stereotypic behavior from prolonged confinement sees his or her chances for adoption further decrease.

Elisa Lam Reddit Theory explained, Is she died from Tuberculosis in Netflix's Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel
Elima Lam mysterious death case is getting a lot of speculations everyday on social media platforms like she was having Tuberculosis, hallucinating, and even having bipolar disorder. Nobody knows how the 21-year-old Canadian tourist die in the Cecil hotel. What happened to her before getting into the 1000 gallon water tank? Let's find out the reddit TB theory.
Elisa Lam Reddit Theory Explained
Elisa Lam reddit theory suggests that she was a test subject for testing some new Tuberculosis medications because in the 2013 there was a TB outbreak in downtown Los Angeles's Skid Row especially homeless peoples. Also, she go through LAM-ELISA to test for the fatal disease but during her autopsy report nothing was clear if she had TB or not.
Elisa Lam mysterious murder photo
However, this theory also puts light on the fact that the bizarre behavior of Elisa was a side-effect of taking anti-TB medication. Some theorists also suggest in Netflix documentary, Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel that she was fatally silenced because she knew too much at the popular TB Research center of Canada.
Does she died from Tuberculosis?
No! Elisa Lam's autopsy report revealed that she was not having Tuberculosis at the time of her death. Instead, the report determined that she died of accidental drowning but nobody knows how she got herself into the drowning scene. So, how did Elisa Lam die and who found her body in the tank?
What is an ELISA-LAM Test?
The LAM-ELISA test stands for Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). It is used to detect Tuberculosis in children and was carried out in February 2013 while looking for 4,500 carriers of the deadly disease.
Where is Elisa Lam family now?
Elisa Lam's family include her father David Lam, mother Yinna Lam, and her sister Sarah. She was living happily with her family in Vancouver, British Columbia before planning a solo trip to American West Coast and ended up to Los Angeles in the late January 2013.
ELisa Lam death
She was calling home everyday since she reached at the Cecil hotel. But one day, she neither accepted nor rejected a call from her home. This was the day she went missing and parents were unaware of the reason and without wasting time parents reported her missing to the authorities.
On February 2019, her body was found in hotel's water tank on roof and the autopsy report suggested the cause of her death was accidental drowning with bipolar disorder involvement. Then, her family filed a lawsuit on the hotel but that was a tragedy so LA Supreme Court dismissed the case. Today, the family prefers to stay away from the spotlight and no information about their location is revealed in the public.

Diagnosis and prognosis of molybdenum deficiency in black gram (Vigna mungo L. Hepper) by plant analysis
Jongruaysup, S., Bell, R.W. and Dell, B. (1994) Diagnosis and prognosis of molybdenum deficiency in black gram (Vigna mungo L. Hepper) by plant analysis. Australian Journal of Agricultural Research, 45 (1). pp. 195-201.
*Subscription may be required
Diagnosis and prognosis of molybdenum (Mo) deficiencies in black gram crops by plant analysis is difficult because Mo standards have not been set and tested in the field. Therefore, critical Mo concentrations, for the diagnosis of Mo deficiency at early flowering and for diagnosis and prognosis at pod filling in black gram, were determined in two glasshouse experiments by examining the relationship of Mo concentrations in young leaves and nodules to shoot nitrogen content or seed dry matter in plants treated with seven levels of Mo supply on a Mo-deficient sandy loam. In severely Mo-deficient plants, shoot dry matter (DM) and shoot nitrogen (N) content were depressed. Molybdenum concentrations in plant parts increased with increasing Mo supply and were closely related to shoot N content. shoot DM, and seed DM. Critical Mo concentrations for diagnosis of hi0 deficiency were obtained from the relationship between N content and &lo concentrations in leaves and nodules. and for prognosis of Mo deficiency were obtained from the relationship between seed yield and Mo concentrations in plant parts. Critical Mo concentrations were much higher in nodules than in leaves, and among young leaf blades, they increased with decreasing leaf age. For diagnosis of Mo deficiency, blades of the leaf immediately older than the youngest fully expanded leaf (YFEL+lb) and nodules are recommended plant parts. Their respective critical concentrations were 22 and 9600 ng Mo/g DM at flowering, and 22 and 3378 ng Mo/g DM at initial pod set. Molybdenum concentrations in the YFEL+lb and nodules at podding were also related to seed production at maturity. Recommended critical h10 concentrations in the YFELflb and nodules at initial pod set for the prognosis of IbIo deficiency for seed DM were 18 and 3000 ng Mo/g DM respectively.

category with duals (list of them)
dualizable object (what they have)
n-category = (n,n)-category
n-groupoid = (n,0)-category
String diagrams are a graphical calculus for expressing operations in a monoidal category. The idea is roughly to think of objects in a monoidal category as "strings" and a morphism from one tensor product to another as a node which the source strings enter and the target strings exit. Further structure on the monoidal category is encoded in geometrical properties on these strings. For instance
putting strings next to each other denotes the monoidal product, and having no string at all denotes the unit;
braiding strings over each other corresponds to – yes, the braiding (if any);
bending strings around corresponds to dualities on dualizable objects (if any).
Many operations in monoidal categories that look rather unenlightening in symbols become very obvious in string diagram calculus, such as the trace: an output wire gets bent around and connects to an input.
There are many additional structures on monoidal categories, or similar structures, which can usually be represented by encode further geometric properties. For instance:
in monoidal categories which are ribbon categories the strings from above behave as if they have a small transversal extension which makes them behave as ribbons. Accordingly, there is a twist operation in the axioms of a ribbon category and graphically it corresponds to twisting the ribbons by 180 degrees.
in a traced monoidal category?, the trace can be represented by bending an output string around to connect to an input, even though if the objects are not dualizable the individual "bends" do not represent anything.
in monoidal categories which are spherical all strings behave as if drawn on a sphere.
there is also a string diagram calculus for bicategories, which extends that for monoidal categories regarded as one-object bicategories. Thus, the strings now represent 1-cells and the nodes 2-cells, leaving the two-dimensional planar regions cut out by the strings to represent the 0-cells. This makes it manifest that in general, string diagram notation is Poincaré dual to the globular notation: where one uses -dimensional symbolds the other uses -dimensional symbols.
A string diagram calculus for monoidal fibrations can be obtained as a generalization of C.S. Peirce's "existential graphs." The ideas are essentially contained in this paper by Brady and Trimble, and was discussed here.
String diagrams for closed monoidal categories are similar to those for autonomous categories, but a bit subtler, involving "boxes" to separate parts of the diagram. They were used informally here, but can also be done in essentially the same way as the proof net?s used in intuitionistic linear logic; see this paper. Proof nets for classical linear logic similarly give string diagrams for *-autonomous categories.

What Is the Primary Use Case of the Redis Hyperloglog Data Structure?

What Is the Primary Use Case of the Redis Hyperloglog Data Structure?
The Redis HyperLogLog data structure is a probabilistic algorithm used to estimate the cardinality or count of unique elements in a set. It is particularly useful when dealing with large datasets where an exact count is not necessary, but an approximate value is sufficient.
Understanding Cardinality Estimation
Cardinality estimation refers to determining the number of distinct elements in a set without actually storing all the elements. Traditional methods, such as using databases or hash sets, require significant memory and processing power to store and manipulate large sets. The Redis HyperLogLog data structure offers a more efficient approach.
The HyperLogLog algorithm uses a fixed amount of memory, regardless of the number of unique elements in the set being analyzed. This makes it highly scalable and allows it to handle massive datasets efficiently.
Applications of Redis HyperLogLog
Data Analytics and Statistics
The primary use case for Redis HyperLogLog is in data analytics and statistics. It provides a fast and memory-efficient way to estimate unique counts, making it suitable for applications where precise values are not critical.
For example, consider an e-commerce website that wants to track the number of unique visitors per day. Instead of storing every visitor's information in a database or hash set, which would be resource-intensive, they can use Redis HyperLogLog to estimate the daily unique visitor count quickly.
Deduplication
Another common use case for Redis HyperLogLog is deduplication, where you need to identify and remove duplicate entries from a dataset. By estimating the approximate cardinality using HyperLogLog, you can quickly identify potential duplicates without storing every individual element explicitly.
For instance, in a social media platform, you can use HyperLogLog to identify duplicate user actions, such as counting the unique number of likes or shares on a post. This allows you to maintain data integrity and improve overall system performance.
Distributed Systems
Redis HyperLogLog is also valuable in distributed systems, where multiple nodes need to work together efficiently. By using HyperLogLog, each node can estimate the count of unique elements it has seen locally and then merge these estimates to calculate the global count accurately.
This approach reduces network communication and computational overhead, making it ideal for distributed systems that deal with large amounts of data across multiple nodes.
Conclusion
The Redis HyperLogLog data structure is a powerful tool for estimating the cardinality of unique elements in large datasets. Its efficient memory usage and fast computation make it an excellent choice for applications where an approximate count is sufficient.
Whether you are analyzing data, deduplicating records, or working with distributed systems, Redis HyperLogLog offers a reliable and scalable solution to handle these tasks effectively.

Tips on Amphibian Senses
Amphibians know what's going on around them. Their skin contains a nerve network that sends messages about the environment to the brain. Part of this network is fairly straightforward and understandable. The dermis contains many uncoated nerve fibers, some of which extend into the epidermis. Here they serve as receptors for heat, cold, pain and pressure.

 Perl-based Form Mail (Feedback) Script
Using a Perl script you may accept feedback from your website visitors and get the results emailed to you. You can use the sample script provided by DOMAIN INDIA and tweak it a bit to suit your requirements.
Sample Script
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
unless(open (MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"))
{
print "error.\n";
warn "Error starting sendmail: $!";
}
else
{
print MAIL "From: user\@domainname.com\n";
print MAIL "To: user\@domainname.com\n";
print MAIL "Subject: Mail from Enquiry Form\n\n";
print MAIL "Enquiry Form Details";
close(MAIL) || warn "Error closing mail: $!";
print "Mail sent.\n";
}
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";

IMPORTANT
 * The .pl file containing the script needs to be uploaded to your web server in ASCII mode only.

 * The .pl file needs to have execute permissions for the normal web user. For example, the .pl file can have permissions 755 or 765.

Sample HTML Feedback Form
 The following lines needs to be added in the form which connects to the above script:
<form action="cgi-bin/script.pl" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="_EMAIL_">
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="_EMAIL_">
<input type="hidden" name="realname" value="Feedback Form">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Feedback Form">
<input type=hidden name="redirect" value="_URL_
Following is the explanation about the above mentioned variables:
 * recipient - Here you need to specify the Email address, where the email containing the data submitted through the form, needs to be delivered.

 * email - You would need to change the Email address in the field email to any Email address on the domain name, on which you are incorporating this script. For example, if you are deploying this script on your Domain Name abc.com, then you would define the From Email address as _EMAIL_. This Email address need not be existing on the Mail Server of abc.com, however, the domain name in the email field has to be yours. This implies, that you may use an Email address such as _EMAIL_. This email address will appear as the From email address in the email sent by the script.

 * realname - The value here indicates the name mentioned in the From section of the email, that will be sent to the email address, upon submission of this form. This can be modified as per your requirement.

 * subject - The value in this field can be changed to indicate an appropriate subject for the mail to be sent. For example, you may set this as YourDomainName.com Feedback Form or any other subject that would allow you to uniquely identify from which form on your website this data has been received.

 * redirect - Once the visitor provides feedback, he/she can then be redirected to another page on your website. In order to achieve this, you need to mention the path to the HTML file in the redirect field. Alternately, you can display a message to the visitor thanking him/her for the feedback. Such messages can be displayed in a new page like thanks.htm. Such a page can also contain other information as deemed necessary.

 Question on how to create a product velocity calculation (and Joe Mako's Order of Tableau Filter Operations)
 Rust Cadwallader
 So I feel like there should be a fairly easy way to do this.

 What I am trying to do is create a 'bucket' for customers based upon the # of transactions that customer had.

 I can manually determine the breakpoints, so I'm not looking for any complex calculation there.

 But what I can not figure out is how to get the count of records by customer_id in a calculation

 I want to be able to say

 If x > 50 then 'High'
 else if x > 10 then 'Medium'
 else 'Low'

 but I am not certain if you can calculate 'X'

 I know you can do this by manually adding them to groups, but I was hoping not to go that direction.

 And I need the 'High', 'Medium', 'Low' available in views, so I do not think a set is appropriate.
 - 1. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Mike Hyde
 Do you just need to count up the number of transactions by customer and then assign a label?
 If so, you can use a calculated field with:

 SUM([Number of Records])

 to calculate the number of records. If you arrange the view so that the data is split by customers, then it will calculate the number of records for each customer. Whenever you use an aggregating function like SUM() in a calculated field, it will aggregate according to however you layout the sheet in question. In this example, you could then assign the labels using an IF statement, eg:

 If SUM([Number of Records])>24 THEN "High"
 Elseif SUM([Number of Records])>20 THEN "Medium"
 Else "Low"

 END

 See attached for example.

 - 2. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Rust Cadwallader
 The problem is I do not necessarily want to split the data by customers

 I want to basically classify each customer as 'High', 'Medium' or 'Low' (think Group) and then use that value in the view

 So that I could I would see
 Region1 --> High --> C1
 Region1--> High --> C2
 Region1 --> High --> C3
 Region1 --> Medium--> C4
 Region1--> Medium --> C5
 Region1 --> Medium --> C6
 Region1 --> Low--> C7
 Region1--> Low --> C8
 Region1 --> Low --> C9
 Region2 --> High --> C11
 Region2 --> Medium --> C13

 I know you can do it using groups, what I was wondering was if there was a way to do this using Calculations.
 - 3. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Joe Mako
 You could be looking for a custom table calculation. If you can provide a sample data set and detail what you expect for a result and interactions you want to allow for, an example can be created for you.
 - 4. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Rust Cadwallader
 Use the Sample Coffee Chain data set.

 What I want to be able to do is create a calculation for Products:

 if a product sold more than 400, it is high
 if a product sold 200 - 400 it is medium
 if a product sold less than 200, it is low

 And that classification stays with the product, regardless of other filters, slicers, etc

 I know this can be done creating a second datasource and linking the data sources via the product, where the secondary data source has:

 if sum([Number of Records]) > 400 then "High"
 elseif sum([Number of Records]) > 200 then "Medium"
 else "Low"
 end

 And then dropping that calculation on a view with the product from the original.

 But is there some other way to accomplish this using table calculations that does not involve duplicating the data source
 - 5. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Richard Leeke
 Yes, you can do that. Sheet2 in the attached.

 I'm not sure which way is best - that might depend on data volumes and distribution.
 - 6. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Mike Hyde
 Hmmm that "Late State Filter" is some special kind of voodoo. You're using some derived table calc to act as a filter in such a way that the entire data set is included when the first table calc (total sales for all states) is evaluated?

 I'm guessing this isn't really documented anywhere...?
 - 7. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Richard Leeke
 Yeah, I intended to explain that when I posted that example but got interrupted.

 Filters on calculated fields which involve table calculations are evaluated by Tableau after all table calculations have been evaluated (unlike normal filters which are passed to the database and restrict the rows returned to Tableau).

 So the voodoo is just a trick to force a filter that you really just want on a plain old field to be evaluated after table calculations have been evaluated. I just called it "Late State Filter" because I want the filter evaluated later than everything else. The trick is just to use the LOOKUP() table calculation function to lookup the value in the current row (LOOKUP([X], 0) just says lookup the value of [X] that is zero rows away from the current row). You never need to worry about setting the partitioning on that field because the current row is always the current row, whatever your partitions are.

 I've never seen it documented, I think I thought of it for myself (or maybe I got it from Joe). It's a useful trick which often comes in handy.
 - 8. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Mike Hyde
 That is an excellent trick for sure. There are several times when I wanted to do that, and often ended up using "hide" to visually remove some items but keep them included in the rest of the calculations. This is much better than hiding things though, as the problem with hide is that if your data changes and a new value appears then the new value will not be hidden by default, causing some visuals to mess up.

 Joe used this in an example yesterday as well, so thanks for explaining!

 Having some kind of transparency around calculation order and table calc setups (partitioning and sorting) would be a great improvement to Tableau. It's the one area of Tableau that still feels like voodoo to me whereas they've done a terrific job of making most other things very transparent and intuitive.

 Thanks again
 Mike
 - 9. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Rust Cadwallader
 So I like the trick.

 However, my goal was to be able to get a value that would never change, regardless of how you slice the data. If I go into your view and add a filter on market size to 'Major', the sales change. Most of the time, this is what you would want, but in this case, I want to know the overall total sales, not just the sales within the filtered data.

 I need a way to tell the calculation not to take into account the filters, slicers etc.

 For example, Cafee Latte is 'Medium', and is always in the 'Medium' total sales grouping regardless of any other factors because when you take the data as a whole, that is where it falls.

 Linking the datasources gives me that because the linked data source doesn't appear to take into account the filters and I get the 'whole' values.

 Rust: Yes, the linking approach is much better from that perspective. I use blending back to the same datasource for that sort of thing quite a lot. I was just demonstrating what you have to do to make it work with table calculations. But you would have to apply the "late filtering" trick to every filter you wanted to apply to the sheet, and also add that field as a dimension to one of the shelves if not already there to make the table calculation approach work the way you want.

 Mike: I agree about the lack of transparency of order of operations. Joe has made several impassioned pleas for that on the forums over the last year or so - and in fact there is a thread somewhere where one of the Tableau folk (maybe James or Robert I think) made a very good start on that - but the thread never pinned down some of the finer points. So there's still a lot of voodoo.

 The whole topic of Table Calculations still has lots that is unexplained for me. There was a monster thread I started on table calculations about a year ago in which Ross Bunker from Tableau explained quite a lot of that - and left us with tantalising hints of lots more explanation to come in an advanced table calculations document he was writing - but I don't think that ever saw the light of day. It's almost as if there is a reluctance to document the hard stuff adequately for fear of confusing people (so instead we get left to confuse ourselves on our own).

Alverata Pan European Pro Semibold Italic Font Information
Gerard Unger's new typeface Alverata is a twenty-first-century type-face inspired by the shapes of romanesque capitals in inscriptions of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, without being a close imitation of them. It is additionally based on the early twentieth-century model, but tweaked so as to prevent blandness and monotony.
Alverata performs beautifully in both screen and on paper, delivering excellent legibility. Its letters are open and friendly in small sizes and lively and attractive in large sizes. They are robust, and show refinement in their detail.
Unger's Alverata is an extensive type family, with versions for both formal and informal applications, and with Greek and Cyrillic relatives. Alverata consists of three different fonts: Alverata, Alverata Informal and Alverata Irregular, that variate in form and width, but mantain the same spirit. The 'irregular' version is particularly inspired by the Insular letterforms, the uncials, and their constantly changing positioning.
Alverata strikes a balance among Europe's diversity of languages, combining contemporary typographical practices with features of medieval letterforms, from the time when Europe came into being.
Visually, some written languages, such as Czech and Maltese, differ quite strongly from languages like English and German, notably because of their many accented characters. While other typefaces will show this difference, Alverata removes it. As a result, Alverata enables harmonious convergence of languages.

NAME
 error::fault - memory access faults
DESCRIPTION
 Read or write faults can occur during the operation of a systemtap script, if the script
 causes dereferencing of a pointer that turns out to be invalid. This can be caused by
 using context variables that do not happen to have valid values, or perhaps references to
 memory that is unavailable at that moment due to paging.
 These fault conditions are benign because they are caught by the systemtap runtime, which
 cleanly terminates the script. If quick termination is not desired, consider using the
 --skip-badvars or --suppress-handler-errors or -DMAXERRORS=NN stap options, or wrapping
 relevant parts of the probe handlers in a try/catch block.
 It may be possible to adjust the target program, to make it more likely that needed
 context variables are paged in when systemtap looks for them. Consider adding some
 lightweight processing on the key variables, like a strlen(foo) for a string, or iterating
 across elements of an array or linked list, or touching a few bytes of a heap-allocated
 block. The idea is to trigger any page faults in the target program, before systemtap
 would need to (but can't).

Tinos and the pigeons houses
"When the Venetians came to Tinos in 1207, they first brought pigeons to the island. Pigeons were initially housed in roughly made dovecots, until the familiar pigeon-houses, those masterpieces of architecture, where constructed by the popular self-taught masons of Tinos. Having plenty of readily available schist to use as raw material, they started to build and decorate the famous pigeon-houses. Pigeon-houses are scattered across the island; most of them are at Mesa Meri and Kato Meri, and less at the Exo Meri, built on hill slopes and close to gullies and cultivated fields, so that pigeons can find food and water. There are almost one thousands of them, equal in number to the old country churches. There are no identical two, because each time the owner and the mason wanted to surpass the others, giving a different volume and decoration to the structure. Certainly there are pigeon-houses on other Cycladic islands, but they have nothing common with those in Tinos."

 - Presents a comprehensive mapping in Queen Elizabeth Islands (QEI), Canada of ice velocity using a suite of satellite data from year 1991 to 2015, combined with ice thickness data from NASA Operation IceBridge, to calculate ice discharge
 - Finds that ice discharge increased significantly after 2011 in Prince of Wales Icefield, maintained or decreased in other sectors, whereas glacier surges have little impact on long-term trends in ice discharge
 - Finds that during 1991–2005, the QEI mass loss averaged 6.3 ± 1.1 Gt yr−1, 52% from ice discharge and the rest from surface mass balance (SMB)
 - Finds that during 2005–2014, the mass loss from ice discharge averaged 3.5 ± 0.2 Gt yr−1 (10%) versus 29.6 ± 3.0 Gt yr−1 (90%) from SMB

In the new study, researchers tracked the credit reports of more than a half million adults under 65 in California who had a hospitalization between 2003 and 2007 that wasn't tied to childbirth. They found that hospitalizations clearly forced some patients into bankruptcy in the years following their stay, said study co-author Matthew Notowidigdo, a Northwestern University economist.
It just may not happen as frequently as the other research indicates. "What causes bankruptcies is still somewhat unknown, but it appears that medical expenses are responsible for a much smaller share of them than previously thought," said co-author Raymond Kluender of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Researchers also estimated that hospitalizations were responsible for only about 6 percent of bankruptcies among uninsured patients. They noted that hospitalization rates are lower in that patient group compared to the overall non-elderly population.
The new analysis included a broader range of people than earlier research, which focused on those who already had filed for bankruptcy protection. Such a narrow focus makes it "impossible to infer the role of medical expenses in causing bankruptcy" without information on those who had big medical bills and didn't sink financially, the authors of Wednesday's report noted. Their study also had limitations: It focused only on adult patients from one state who were hospitalized. Kluender said hospital stays often are the first event that triggers a "chain of struggles with medical expenses and medical debt." The research looked at hospitalizations that occurred several years before the federal Affordable Care Act expanded insurance coverage to millions of Americans.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - ADB will help restore the productivity and profitability of Tajikistan's cotton industry through a loan and grant package totaling US$12 million.
The cotton industry is the country's main source of farm income, agricultural exports, and rural employment. However, it has been underperforming, with yields and profitability on the decline, largely due to the substantial and increasing cotton farm debt.
This debt, estimated at $292 million in early 2006, was incurred by cotton farms under a complex system of production credit from intermediaries outside the formal banking system. The Government has responded by developing a comprehensive Cotton Farm Debt Resolution Strategy, and the project will complement this effort.
"An unprofitable cotton industry is inextricably linked to poverty," says Lourdes Adriano, an ADB Senior Rural Development Economist. "Thus, there is an urgent need to support the recovery of the subsector. Its turnaround is the agriculture sector's path to equitable pro-poor growth."
The project will first resolve cotton farm debt on a pilot scale in four selected districts in the two main cotton-producing regions - Sughd and Khatlon - where three quarters of the country's extremely poor live.
A team will analyze the debt level and operations in each farm, then work to restructure and settle the debt. Realistic business plans for each farm will also be prepared.
At the same time, the project will make policy recommendations and farm debt resolution options to the Government, and support education and awareness measures to provide suitable financing products and services to the restructured pilot cotton farms, the Government will relend $3 million of ADB's loan to participating commercial banks.
The project will help develop the cotton market by promoting the adoption of internationally recognized quality standards for fiber cotton. It will also help establish two bonded warehouses to be operated by the private sector that meet international standards to expedite the export of baled cotton.
"Through this project, ADB will support the Government's commitment to genuine development change by addressing the crucial and immediate concerns affecting the agriculture sector," says Neeraj Jain, ADB's Country Director for Tajikistan.
ADB's support comprises a $5.5 million loan and a $6.5 million grant from its concessional Asian Development Fund. The loan carries a 32-year term, including a grace period of 8 years, and an interest rate of 1% per annum during the grace period and 1.5% per annum after.
The Government and private sector will shoulder the balance of $3.29 million, to meet the project's total estimated cost of $15.29 million. The Executive Office of the President is the executing agency for the project, which is due for completion in 2010.

Experimental Investigation on Atomization Characteristics of Ultrasonic Atomizer 900803
An exeperimental study on the atomization characteristics of an ultrasonic Atomizer utilizing pulse laser holographic system is presented in this paper.
The spatial distribution of the ultrasonic frequency and the pressure amplitude behind the atomizer were measured. It was shown by experiment that the sonic wave from the outlet of the atomizer travels as a spherical wave.
The effects of the air pressure within the ultrasonic atomizer on the ultrasonic frequency and the pressure amplitude were studied.
The effects of air pressure and fuel flow rate on the spatial distribution of the droplets and the SMD mean diameters were obtained.
On the basis of experimental results, the atomization mechanism of the ultrasonic atomizer is discussed.

Fly the Vegan Skies
airline vegan meal
A vegan airline meal
Vegan options are showing up in a wide variety of places these days, from prisons to hospitals to public schools. Now a new initiative by the Vegan Society and Humane Society International seeks to make sure airlines have vegan meals available in commercial airliners.
While air travel is blamed for significant greenhouse gas emissions, meat is actually much worse. It's also a culprit in other environmental problems. "A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use," said Joseph Poore, at Oxford University, England. "It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car."
Airlines serve an estimated one billion inflight meals every year, so actively encouraging passengers to choose plant-based options could help reduce the industry's carbon emissions, while at the same addressing a number of other environmental problems caused by meat and other animal-derived foods.
If you fly long distance, be sure to order a vegan meal when you book your flight. While you're waiting for your flight at Seatac airport, why not check out the new restaurant "Floret" by Café Flora? The sister restaurant of our much beloved vegetarian restaurant Café Flora offers both sit down and grab-and-go food.

Weather in Jasper
If you're going to venture into the higher places in Jasper National Park during your vacation, dress warmly. The weather varies wildly here, but the higher you go, the colder it gets.
JASPER, Alberta – What's the weather like in Jasper National Park? That depends on how high you are.
Down in the valleys, summer comes to Jasper in mid-April; it waits until mid-June to arrive in the high countryside. Summer doesn't linger, but it makes its presence felt with long, lingering days. July is the warmest month, with a mean daily temperature of 22.5 degrees celsius (72.5 degrees fahrenheit).
Autumn arrives in August and September, bringing bright colors, clear skies and cooler temperatures. It gives way to a long and variable winter season that alternates between cold, violent storms and mild chinook winds. January is the coldest month, with a mean temperature of -9.4 degrees celsius (15.1 degrees fahrenheit).
Averages, however, can be a little deceiving in a place with such a variety of elevations and terrain. As a general rule, the average temperature drops 1.7 degrees celsius for every 300-meter rise in elevation. In addition to all of the changes brought by the terrain, winds from the Pacific Ocean, though originating a long way away, bring warm air and sometimes moisture to the Canadian Rockies.
In general, the lower you are, the warmer you'll be. But in a place with such a wide deviation of topography, the wisest course is simply to expect just about anything.


In SSIS 2012 there is a new task to set the value of variables: Expression Task. For previous versions of SSIS or for more complex constructions you need the Script Task. Here is an example on how to use variables and parameters in a Script Task.
First you need to add the variables and/or parameters to the readonly and/or readwrite variables. Edit the Script Task and in the Script Pane you will find two textboxes: ReadOnlyVariables and ReadWriteVariables. They are for variables and parameters.
Note: parameters are always readonly. Variables can be readonly or readwrite.
Now you can use them in the script:
using System;
using System.Data;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace ST_def94055cb1544e4aa823a304f97288f
{
 [Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ScriptTask.SSISScriptTaskEntryPointAttribute]
 public partial class ScriptMain : Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ScriptTask.VSTARTScriptObjectModelBase
 {
 public void Main()
 {
 // Variables and parameters work the same in a Script Task, but there are two differences:
 // 1) Parameters have a different Scope (the part before ::)
 // 2) Parameters are always read-only

 // Some examples:

 // Read an SSIS package parameter and sets its value in an SSIS variable
 Dts.Variables["User::MyIntegerVariable"].Value = Dts.Variables["$Package::MyIntegerPackageParam"].Value;

 // Read an SSIS package parameter and sets its value in an SSIS variable
 Dts.Variables["User::MyIntegerVariable"].Value = Dts.Variables["$Project::MyIntegerProjectParam"].Value;

 // Read an SSIS variable and add 1. Because .Value returns an OBJECT, you first need to convert it to an integer
 Dts.Variables["User::MyIntegerVariable"].Value = Convert.ToInt32(Dts.Variables["User::MyIntegerVariable"].Value) + 1;

 Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
 }

 enum ScriptResults
 {
 Success = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult.Success,
 Failure = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult.Failure
 };
 }
}
For a VB.NET version of the code, check out this blog post. It also shows a second option with the VariableDispenser, but that isn't the preferred method.
Parent package variables
A child package can read the variable values of a parent package with a Script Task. But because the names of those parent package variables are unknown for the child package at design time, you can't select those variables names with the select window. So you have to type the exact name (incl. scope) in the readonly variables textbox of the Script Task. Make sure you don't use the same variable names in the parent and child package, otherwise it won't work.
With this simple line of code you can transfer the value of the parent package variable to the child package variable:
// Store parent package variable value in child package variable
Dts.Variables["User::MyChildPackageVariable"].Value = Dts.Variables["User::MyParentPackageVariable"].Value;
For a VB.Net version of the code and more details check this blog post.

Abstract:
The theory of conceptual structures serves as a common basis for natural language processing and medical concept representation. We present a Prolog-based formalization of dependency grammar that can accommodate conceptual structures in its dependency rules. First results indicate that this formalization provides an operational basis for the implementation of medical language parsers and for the design of medical concept representation languages.

Japan's Technology In World
Japan's Technology
Japan has been an innovator of the striking infrastructure projects. Now Japan is involved in several projects around the world that could influence infrastructure for years to come.
Japan has one of the oldest wooden temples still standing after hundreds of earthquakes, The Shinkansen... the first high-speed rail line making the world take note, and several projects that have attracted many nations to get the new technology.
Tokyo 2020 National Olympic Stadium $1.26 billion:
Tokyo Olympics stadium construction and details
Tokyo Olympic stadium construction work and detail about it
When Japan hosted the Summer Olympics in 1964, Japanese architect Kenzo Tange'sYoyogi National Gymnasium became an architectural icon. When it Hosts the 2020 Summer Olympics, Japan will add another Architectural Jewel.
Currently, Under Construction, the new National Stadium dreamed up by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, is designed to harmonize with the surrounding green space and recall the element of a traditional Japanese Temple, while still accommodating Olympic sized crowds.
Shinkansen High-Speed Rail:
Shinkansen Bullet train and how it is the best train
Shinkansen Bullet Train
Under this, we can see many projects going on in countries like India, Singapore, Malaysia, and Texas.
History of these high-speed trains is based on a concept by two of Japan's great visionaries of having a dedicated track for just high-speed trains which have a capacity of the aeroplane and a considerable high speed. They did it on time and perfect, and within 3 years it crossed over 1 million passenger travels.
now it has over 100's of trains going up and down having higher speeds and just 3 min time gap between two consecutive ones with delays in seconds and no death record.
Some of the Shinkansen projects working around the world are:
Shinkansen, India $12 billion
It is a project of 508 km underground as well as an elevated track route. This will connect the financial center of India, Mumbai and Gujarat's major city, Ahmedabad. Japan is going to fund about 81% of the total project and will it repaid by 50 years with 0.1% the interest rate.
The completion date is seen to be in the year 2023.
Shinkansen, Singapore Malaysia $17-20 billion
The shinkansen will be connecting Malaysia and Singapore which will reduce the travel time to 90 minutes where currently it takes around 5 hours. Japan will provide the funds and the technology fr the high-speed train.
The completion date is seen to be in the year 2026.
Shinkansen, Texas $40 million
As most of the railways are in the hand of private investors, this project is seen to be in private investors' plan to build it between Dallas and Houston. Overall there are enough funds with the central rail commission but Japan will fund the $40 million project.
The completion date is not announced.
Chennai Metro Rail, India $9.8 billion:
Chennai metro project taken by the Japan metro organisation
Recognizing the economic potential in the emerging Indian market, Japan has also partnered with this India to become involved in projects like the Free Open Indo Pacific Strategy.
Additional Japan brings the money and technology to the table for the Chennai Metro Rail Project.
W350 Wooden Skyscraper, Tokyo $5.6 billion:
W350 wooden skyscraper
A company named Sumitomo Forestry has plans to build the world's first 70 story skyscraper out of wood. The building carries a price tag of more than $5 billion. We will see the new CLT technology which will help better Timber buildings having resistance to fire and doesn't get weak over time.
Tokyo 2045: TBD:
Sky Mile Tower which will be the tallest tower ever and will house over 50000 people
As an island nation, Japan is practically sensitive to rising sea and other effects of climate change. In response to environmental changes, architects from Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and Leslie E. Robertson creates a vision for Tokyo in 2045. The design includes hexagonal pads in Tokyo Bay to break up storm surges and maintaining a better living city. Another project is of building Sky Mile Tower, a mile-high building, that's twice the height of Burj Khalifa. This would house over 50000 residents.

|scientific name Archanara subflava |
common name Subflava Sedge Borer
It occurs locally throughout most of Alberta, in all natural regions. It is found is and near marshes and other wetlands.
A medium-size moth (3.5-4.0 cm wingspan) with pale yellow brown to deep rust brown forewings with a darker shade along the cubital vein and a prominent row of dark dots marking the postmedian line where it crosses the veins, and a dark shade in the middle of the outer margin. The hind wings are tan to almost white, much paler than the forewings. Similar to Archanara oblonga, but subflava is generally much lighter in color, has much paler hindwings and lacks the row of terminal dots on the forewings. The illustrated specimen on the right is from the Moths of Canada website; the dark specimen is from Grant Co., WA.
Adults are nocturnal and come to light. There is a single brood each year. The larvae are borers in cattails, rushes and bulrushes (Typha, Scirpus). The life history is very similar to that described for A. oblonga.
Nova Scotia west to BC, south to New Jersey in the east and Utah and California in the west.
The Subflava Sedge Borer may be found far from its wetland habitat and hostplants. The reedy ponds and marshes where this moth breeds are scattered across the landscape like islands in a sea. Many of these are intermittent, appearing and disappearing with changes in moisture regimes, and it is not surprising that subflava disperses to colonize new sites, as do other aquatic insects such as Dytiscus water beetles.

SERIES: MR89 AM/FM Tuner
- The MR89 is the latest in a line of superb McIntosh tuners including the MR78 from the 1970s that many still think is the best tuner ever made.
- The MR89 features exclusive McIntosh radio frequency circuitry that is capable of receiving both strong FM signals from nearby stations – something that can overload and cause distortion in lesser tuners – and is also able to tune in weaker FM signals with little to no noise.
- A multitude of advancements have been made in the MR89 to make your radio listening more pleasurable. Sensitivity, Signal to Noise Ratio, Harmonic Distortion, Channel Selectivity, and Stereo Separation were thoroughly analyzed and thoughtfully updated.
- New features have also been added including a High Blend option in the Stereo Blending function, as well as Softmute, and Highcut.
- 60dB output meters show the signal level that's being delivered from the analog outputs of each channel. Depending on the program received, the meters are a good indication of the MR89's excellent stereo separation capabilities.
- A pair of balanced and unbalanced analog outputs along with one each of digital coax and optical outputs are included to connect the MR89 to your home audio system.
- Supports the FM Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS)1, allowing the display to show various information such as station name, music genre, artist name, and song title (if transmitted by the station).

text: New adaptive edge detection algorithms based on volumetric neighborhood size estimation for automatic three or higher dimensional biomedical image analysis are presented in this work. The proposed methods are based on nonparametric three-dimensional kernel functions obtained using the "three-term" orthogonal-type polynomial equations for different types of orthogonal polynomial families. The obtained multidimensional kernels can be of any volumetric neighborhood size and order of approximation. The optimal sizes of volume estimates, produced by the multidimensional convolution of the kernels with the multidimensional biomedical images, are controlled by a switch type variance dependent volume size selector. The proposed methods show excellent results in approximating the true position and shape of the edges of different organs of the human body represented in multidimensional biomedical images, which can have nonuniform voxel size and anisotropic image intensity and noise distribution.

The Herringbone vases are a result of my continued interest in creating visually complex three dimensional forms, in a relatively 'lo-fi', handmade way.
I am interesting in creating objects whose form, often detailed and visually complex, belies the hand-made, lo-fi processes by which they are created. On closer inspection the objects often reveal small imperfections, which are a result of the process and communicate the hand-made nature of the piece. Some of my objects are often assumed to be made by 3D printing, or CNC routing, but they are all handmade.
In a similar manner to my Faceture vases, I have taken a pleat pattern and manipulated it to create a complex folded landscape. This is used as a flat mould into which I cast resin. This flat form is then then folded into the 3D form of the vase. From this form I cast then cast another mould from which the Herringbone vases are cast in a water based cement composite. After it is removed from the mould the casting is hand finished and etched to reveal the fine cement like texture.
Each vase in handmade in my London studio, and has a-non scratch cork base with the number of the object branded into the surface.


Radial Funnel Chart
Here is an alternate visualization of a funnel chart - instead of using bars, it depicts the different steps as concentric circles.
How to use: define an array in the extract() function of the values you'd like to use. If you are pulling data from a data frame, you will need to use something like the pandas iloc function to extract the desired values.
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.patches as mpatches
from matplotlib.collections import PatchCollection
# extract important variables from the data frame
def extract():
# GET DATA FROM DATA FRAME
# if df.size == 0:

Honeywell is driving steel panels into the ground on the southwestern shore of Onondaga Lake along Interstate 690. The work is the first step in the installation of piping that will cross under the highway to connect to a groundwater treatment system under construction on Willis Avenue. Motorists will see the panel installation over the next one to two weeks as they drive along the highway.
Approximately 50 interlocking panels, each 2 feet wide, 40 feet long and weighing more than 1,800 pounds, will create a metal enclosure, which will act as the primary entry point for the piping that will cross under the highway. The panels will prevent lake water from entering the enclosure during pipe construction.
The groundwater treatment facility is one element of the groundwater collection and treatment system to prevent contaminated groundwater from reaching the lake. When complete, the system will draw collected groundwater from the lake's edge and send it more than 500 feet under I-690 and State Fair Boulevard.
Since April, Honeywell, under New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) supervision, has been constructing the $20 million groundwater collection and treatment system. The system consists of a groundwater treatment plant, two storage tanks, a groundwater pumping station, and a one and one-half mile long underground barrier wall to block groundwater from reaching the lake. The paneling work is not connected to construction of the barrier wall which is currently being designed.
This summer, Honeywell completed construction of a prefabricated 17,500 square foot building specifically designed to house the groundwater treatment system. The groundwater treatment facility will be completed in the spring of 2006.

Does a Nonprofit Need a CRM?
Does a Nonprofit Need a CRM? A Customer Relation Management (CRM) System is typically associated with for-profit enterprises. In this sense, a CRM is defined as, "technology systems companies use to manage their external interactions with customers at all points during the customer lifecycle, from discovery to education, purchase, and post-purchase."
With some word substitutions, a CRM can be adapted for use by a Nonprofit.
Customer becomes Stakeholder
Nonprofits have multiple Stakeholders:
All these Stakeholders can be captured in the CRM. (Since the term "CRM" is in common usage, it is still CRM even for Nonprofits.) The original definition specifies external customers but a Nonprofit CRM can also include internal people like Employees, Board of Directors and Volunteers.
The different Stakeholders can be tagged differently to differentiate them from one another. However, sometimes an individual Stakeholder can have more than one role. For example, a Donor can also be a Volunteer. Knowing that this dual role exists for some Stakeholders allows the Nonprofit to tailor its interactions to the maximum effect.
Customer Lifecycle becomes Stakeholder Lifecycle
The Customer Lifecycle concept can easily be adapted to Nonprofit Stakeholders, especially Donors. The original definition notes the lifecycle phases of discovery, education, purchase, and post-purchase. For a Donor, substitute "donation" for "purchase."
Discovery – The Nonprofit identifies potential Donors. All these names are logged in the CRM and each "touch" or interaction is tracked as well. This way, retrospective analysis can help determine which interactions were most effective.
Education – Efforts are made to educate the potential Donors about the Nonprofit's mission and why donations are worthwhile. Again, each "education" interaction is logged.
Donation – Once a donation is made, the CRM becomes the data source for thank you communications. The donation itself is tracked in the system so at any time the Nonprofit's decision-makers can know who donated how much over time.
Post-Donation – Tracking interactions with Donors can help the Nonprofit communicate effectively so Donors feel more satisfied and are motivated to give on an ongoing basis.
Does a Nonprofit Need a CRM? By having a system to keep tabs on all types of Stakeholders, a Nonprofit can better manage its relationships with these constituents and better meet its organizational goals.

Abstract
China and the UK use different risk-based approaches to derive soil screening or guideline values (SSVs; SGVs) for contaminants. Here we compare the approaches and the derived values for 6 illustrative contaminants. China's SSVs are derived using an approach developed in the US as follows: for carcinogens, acceptable level of risk (ACR) is set at 10−6 and the SSVs calculated as 10−6 divided by the soil exposure and toxicity data; for non-carcinogens, the hazard quotient is 1 and the SSV is calculated as 1 divided by the soil exposure and toxicity data. The UK's SGVs are calculated by the CLEA model, for which the Average Daily Exposure (ADE) from soil sources by a specific exposure route equals the health criteria values (HCVs) for that route, whether for carcinogens or a non-carcinogens. The UK's CLEA model is also used here to derive SSVs with Chinese input parameters. China's SSVs, the UK's SGVs and values for Chinese conditions derived using the UK approach were as follows (mg/kg): As, <1, 35, 20; Cd, 20, 18, 11; Cr (VI), <1, 14, 29; benzene, 1, 1, 2; toluene, 1200, 3005, 3800; ethyl-benzene, 7, 930, 1200. By comparing the differences in toxicity assessment and risk characterization, exposure assessment and parameter types in the methodologies to obtain SSVs in China and the UK, and by combining the CLEA model with Chinese parameterisation, these comparisons highlight that the difference in toxicity assessment and risk characterization methods of carcinogens results in the biggest difference in SSVs between the 2 countries. However, for non-carcinogenic substances, the difference of SSVs calculation method and SSVs is small. The difference in SSVs for carcinogenic substances is also related to the route of exposure. For volatile organic compounds, the presence of indoor respiratory exposure pathways greatly reduces the differences caused by toxicity assessment and risk characterization methods. For non-volatile substances such as heavy metals, the effects of toxicity assessment and risk characterization methods are significant. The SSV of As obtained by the CLEA model with Chinese parameters is closer to the background value of soil in China. In the management of non-volatile contaminated sites such as heavy metals in China, the CLEA model can be used for risk assessment and calculation of site specific SSVs. In the future, China can use the UK method to strengthen its toxicity assessment and risk characterization methods for carcinogenic substances, to reduce the uncertainty in the risk assessment of contaminated sites and improve the scientific management of contaminated sites.

Came across the word "heulandite", thought it was weird so I looked it up in the dictionary and found that it means: "a group of minerals of the zeolite family consisting of a hydrous aluminum silicate of sodium and calcium." I looked up "-ite" on etymonline.com so I suspect the suffix comes from Greek meaning: "connected with or belonging to." Where does the "heuland" part come from? Is it related to "andesite" or maybe something else?

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.
OED gives it as named after a mineralogist (presumably the chap who first identified it):
In that regard, the name is related to Andesite in as much as it's named after a particular property of the mineral: in this case, who identified it; in the case of Andesite, where it is found.


How to Draw an Angry Face with Emotion
Even though I tend to draw very peaceful looking characters in most of my pieces, I really like to play with emotions and take some time to do some fun exercises. The more exaggerated the better and you can play a lot with angry expressions!
Let's go over, step by step, on how to draw an angry expression, so that in the end, you can draw your character looking furious and be able to play even more with drawing angry expressions!
Drawing Emotions using the Eyebrows
When drawing any kind of expression, the eyebrows can do most of the work here!
Not sure where to start with the Emotion?
Draw the Eyebrow! Exaggerating a the curves of your eyebrows can change a lot on the expression of your character.
Try putting yourself in front of a mirror and study your reflection.
As you go from expression to expression, you'll notice that in every single one of them, the eyebrows play a very big part in emphasizing it!
Actually, there are a lot of artists and animators that work with a small mirror on their desk.
This way, they can test and watch their reflections as a reference when drawing their characters.
How to Draw an Angry Face with Emotion! Step by step guide by Don Corgi
If you have a small mirror at home, try and do the same: sit at your desk for around 30 minutes or one hour and practice expressions while using yourself as a reference!
Another option is to just look up on the internet some images and make your studies from there.
Remember, when sketching up and drawing, to try and exaggerate the expressions and your lines, it gives more personality and a different motion to your drawings.
Of course, there's the last option, that's a mix of both of these!
Take photos of yourself or a friend.
If jumping between drawing and looking at a mirror seems too complicated, or you can't just a reference image good enough. Then, take a picture of yourself or ask for a friend to pose for you!
Take photos of yourself or a friend to help you getting references to draw emotions like an angry face!
So let's start with our eyebrows first:
Tilting the Eyebrow helps a LOT when trying to convey angry emotions.
Simply tilt it towards the nose, making a very slanted line, with the outside tips going away from the eyes.
The more you tilt them, the more exaggerated your expression will be.
Tilt the eyebrow to make your angry expression stronger!
Of course, if you want a more passive angry face, drawing the eyebrows really close to the eyes to the job. If you want the expression to be very flat but still judgy, draw them almost straight and on top of the eyes.
Once again, the tilted you make them, the angrier it will look like, so it's up to you how you want to convey your character's emotions!
Draw the Eyebrows close to the Eyes to make your expression even angrier!
Larger Eyes Makes Angrier Expressions!
As a general rule, the larger the eye the more emphasis it gives to the expression.
It doesn't matter what kind of shape you're drawing the eyes with, but the bigger you do them, the angrier your character looks.
It's the difference between being angry and furious.
This also works with other emotions: simply scared to terrified, sad to agonized, surprised to astounded and so on.
The size of the eye works like a balance for your emotions.
The bigger, the more emotional it is. So when you're making Angry Eyes and want that extra boost of expression, increase the overall size of the eye. This will make it look extra angry.
In the images below, I give you two examples, one of them you can see that the eye has a very regular size and the other I exaggerated it a lot, making them really big.
A regular sized eye looks like this.
The Larger the eyes, the angrier the expression looks!
Try out both ways and even some other eye sizes in-between so you can really understand the differences, by practicing.
You can even make your drawings, all side by side, scaling them up so you can use it for reference whenever you want to draw angry characters!
On Another Note… Drawing the Iris
We've talked about the size of the eye, let's now talk about yet another important element when drawing expressions: the iris!
When drawing the iris you should draw it small for an angrier expression.
The contrast between a small dot for the iris and a vast white around it, speaks to us, visually, of urgency, panic, and even lunacy.
Draw a tiny Iris to make your expression stronger, like your character is in panic or lunacy.
The size you decide for the iris can make your character look like a real psycho or someone that has completely lost their mind.
For example, someone who's so angry that is way past any kind of logic and reason.
Drawing it too big, can make it look like the character isn't phased at all with what happened, which is also something you can make use of.
A character that is beyond human emotions or a very evil character that doesn't really care what's happening and how much destruction they cause.
If you draw the Iris bigger, you can still make it look like a bad character who doesn't care about all the destruction he's causing.
Once again, you can make the same kind of exercise as before, draw the eyes with different iris sizes, scaling them up and compare each other and how they feel.
Other than the iris, you can also play with the eyebrows and eye size.
Mix and match them and see how many different results you can get!
The Angriest Mouth in the World
Mouths have feelings too!
Well.. kind of.
You can't draw an expression with merely the eyes, the rest as to show the emotion as well, a wrinkled nose goes very well with the angry eyes for example!
The mouth also plays a big role when drawing any kind of expression. One of the easiest ways to express an angry attitude with the mouth is to show some teeth.
Show some teeth! It helps drawing an angry emotion.
Like we talked before, simply try to get angry at the mirror and say something, you'll notice how your teeth tend to show when you're angry.
On another note, an angry *grr* kind of expression almost like a dog works wonders.
The curve of the mouth and its size are two other very important aspects to pay attention to. Depending on it, the way you read the emotion can change a lot!
Let's pick an example, surely you've seen some Batman movies, series, and comics.
Surely you've seen the iconic Joker even if it was in a mug or t-shirt.
His character is a great example when talking about expressions.
He's very expressive and exaggerated. We know he's completely mad and there's no reason left in him, but we don't know this merely by his actions, every tiny visual detail tell us that!
The Joker is a perfect example of someone who has a scary and lunatic face.
"Joker" from The Killing Joke comic, by DC Comics
In a state of pure malice, Joker's face will appear angry, with very tilted eyebrows, big eyes, a tiny dot for an iris and finally, a very opened, big mouth, tilted upwards.
You can tell by the way the mouth curves, he's obviously enjoying his hostility and his "pranks".
So if you're not sure how to draw a character who enjoys how evil they are, Joker will never fail you, look up some comics and you can find a ton of references from it!
Let's take another example: Guts, from Kentaro Miura's famous manga Berserk, is the perfect example of an angry character. An example of someone who turned to anger to find the strength to survive and fight.
Guts from Berserk shows frustration mixed with anger.
The character "Guts" from the Berserk Manga
His mouth, often curves downward, angry, frustrated and when furious his mouth will be drawn opened, showing a lot of teeth, but this time, as oppose to Joker, it tilts upside down.
Guts isn't completely out of his mind, all out of reasoning. Nor does he enjoy it.
No, he's in pain and he's furious, but still very much conscient of his own actions (for the most part, but that's a whole other matter!).
So from this two examples, you can clearly see how you can play with the mouth to change the tone of the emotions you want to portray and how it has such an important role in drawing an expression as the eyes!
Complement the Angry Face with Details!
It's all about the tiny details!
If you've done all the steps and still want to add a little more "oomph" to the face, focus on the details! When drawing a face and expressions, the whole face responds to the emotion.
Wrinkles tend to show around the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Same goes with the eyebrows when they grow very close together. Again, try and make a very angry face at your mirror and look at all the lines that appear around your face!
Add some Gleam and details to the eyes to make the expressions look angrier.
If you want to go really overboard with it, you can add some gleam to the eyes or some bits of saliva connecting the teeth and even a tongue showing up!
Once again it's all about experimenting and trying new things, go completely overboard with it. Think of a character, but before drawing it, think about their traits:
Let's say I want to draw a vampire, hungry for blood, insatiable.
An hungry

Delta Vista Company provides engineered modular solutions for Air Cooled Heat Exchanger (Air Cooler) as per API-661 code.
There are two types of Air Coolers:
- Dry Air Cooler
- Wet Air Cooler (Hybrid)
In Dry Air Cooler, environment air passes through finned tubes by forced fans and cools fluid inside the tubes.
In Wet Air Cooler (Hybrid), environment air is cooled in direct contact with cooling water in the first stage, and then passes through
finned tubes by forced fans and cools fluid inside the tubes. This type is applied when more cooling is required for fluid.


text: Pollen is significant from a human health perspective because it has been known to trigger allergic respiratory disease such as asthma and hay fever. The presence of pollen in the atmosphere has been related to meteorological parameters in past studies, but this has not been done previously in Sydney, Australia. This paper reports the results of a study on Poaceae, Plantaginaceae, Casuarinaceae, and total pollen in Sydney. Pollen concentration data for the period 19 August 1992 to 31 December 1995 was examined with meteorological data for the same period. The daily pollen concentration was compared to the meteorological data for the same day and for up to three days previously. The analysis methods were Spearman's rank correlation and multiple regression. Poaceae, Plantaginaceae, and total pollen appear to be positively correlated with temperature, dew point temperature, and wind speed, and negatively correlated with air pressure. Casuarinaceae pollen is also related to these meteorological parameters, but the sign of the correlations is the opposite. There is potential for the results of this study to be used by public health authorities in the prediction of pollen concentrations in Sydney.
