City Directories and History: On Chappell's Cabin Branch Plantation at Hopkins stands the oldest house in Lower Richland. It was built by Major Hicks Chappell (_PHONE_) at the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Threewits in 1781. Here he lived until his death in 1846. The plantation was originally given the name of the branch on which it was located and later it had the name of its owner added to distinguish it from other plantations on Cabin Branch that had the same name. The house is interesting from the standpoint of its structure as well as from the history of the early Chappell family. The simple two-story frame house built on the style of those of early Virginia, consisted of two shed rooms on the front, which were the library and dining room. The parlor was a spacious room behind the shed rooms. Bedrooms were on the second floor and an attic was above. The kitchen, typical of the period, was in the yard.
Major Hicks Chappell entered the army as a boy of eighteen as a private, fighting with Generals Sumter and Marion. At the close of the Revolution he was awarded the rank of major. John Joel Chappell (b. 1782), the oldest son of Major Hides Chappell, was a distinguished citizen of his time. He was an officer in the War of 1812, a lawyer, a statesman, serving from March 4, 1813, to March 3, 1817, as Congressman from the Second District. One child born to this couple died in infancy and several years later the mother also passed away. Both are buried in the First Baptist Church yard in Columbia. On January 3, 1833, his daughter Eugenia married Andrew Pickens Calhoun (_PHONE_), the son of John C. Calhoun (1782- 1850), the ceremony taking place in the parlor of Chappell's Cabin Branch. This interesting home, remodeled in recent years, has additional rooms and a wide porch across the front of the house.

FAQ & Tips
What size of storage unit do I need?
This is a common question for us. You never know how much space you'll need until you see all of your belongings together in one location. Here are a couple of tips we recommend for eliminating those moments of guess-timation.
- If you've packed all your belongings and have them put to the side in one room, measure the dimensions of that room (width x height) and multiply them together for the total square footage. Knowing how many square feet your contents occupy, will make it easier for us to quote you the storage unit size needed.
- If you are just starting the moving/packing process, imagine putting all of your belongings into the bedrooms of your home. How many rooms would it fill? From 1 bedroom apartments to 5 bedroom homes, we have units to accommodate all your belongings.
When preparing to move your belongings to a storage unit, you want to ensure that your moving goes as smoothly as possible. We can help you choose the right size of locker that would work for your items. Here are a few things for you to consider:
- Are you planning to store for short term or long term? If you are short term, you can fill the unit completely. If you are long term, get a slightly larger unit so you can make a path down the center to have easier access to all of your items.
- Are your items very long ( e.g. kayak) or a very large ( wall unit)? If so, you will need the longer sized unit.
- Pack nonessential items first and place them at the back of the locker.
- Purchase good quality boxes. That way they stack easier. Remember to not fill the boxes with too much weight so you can't lift them. Use smaller boxes for heavier items and larger boxes for lighter items.
- Label boxes on every side for easy reference. Don't write on the box the exact contents. Instead, keep a list of each box contents with you and number the boxes, so when you are looking for something, you can see what number it is and not have to go through every box.
- When storing your mattresses in a plastics cover, do not seal it. There is moisture in the mattress from your body, so you need to let it vent. The same applies to leather couches.

SQL Question
Error when inserting row into MySQL database from Python
I'm trying to update an empty mySQL database using Python.
This is the error I receive:
pymysql.err.InternalError: (1416, 'Cannot get geometry object from data you send to the GEOMETRY field')
Here's the problematic code:
with connection.cursor() as cursor:
# Create a new record
sql = "INSERT INTO 'projects' ('name', 'country', 'activation_date', 'active') VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s)"
cursor.execute(sql, ('Nate', 'USA', '2016-06-23 09:11:32', '1'))
Here is what the table looks like in the database (it's empty):
enter image description here
enter image description here
It looks like you're using the MySQL type linestring to represent a string, while in MySQL the correct type to represent a string of characters would be text or varchar(). linestring is a representation of a geometric line, as you can see here:
To fix this, simply change the column types of name and country to varchar() or text. See:

Local Architecture: Wayfarers Chapel by Lloyd Wright
Taking inspiration from the natural environment, Wayfarers Chapel in Palos Verdes is a beautiful architectural interpretation of Northern California's soaring redwood forests.
Designed by Lloyd Wright, the son of Frank Lloyd Wright, the small glass and wood enclosure seamlessly connects to its beautiful site, perched above the Pacific Ocean on the California Coast.
Constructed in 1951, the 'tree chapel' highlights the relationship between nature and spirituality through the considerate use of form and massing, as well as transparency of materials and scale.
A celebration of space, spirituality and the natural world, the small structure is a beautiful and timeless work that embodies an appreciation of space, connectedness and the natural environment.

Rolling Resistance (Fuel Efficiency)
Rolling resistance will use a classification from best performance (green category "A") through to the worst performance (red category "G") – category "D" is not being used.
Rolling resistance is the main key factor in measuring the energy efficiency of a tyre. It has direct influence on the fuel consumption of a vehicle. Fuel efficiency is important to reduce both CO2 emissions and the cost of driving.
The difference between each category means a reduction or increase in fuel consumption of between 2.5%-4.5%. That's a difference of about 0.42-0.56 mpg for a 36 mpg car per category.
This figure will increase even more for light and heavy trucks.

HP workstations cut down production costs
Computer giant HP has just released its souped up workstation that promises higher performance for the financial traders, digital animators and mechanical engineers who will use it.
The super computer, which has two intel processors, is used for real time trading updates and can run up to eight monitors at the same time, as well as simulate 3D images of models.
HP vice president research and development workstations Terry Pilsner said workstations could save businesses of all sizes huge amounts of money in the initial stages of production.
Workstations can be used to test the strength of medal, the capacity buildings have to move in the wind, the structural soundness of bridges by stimulating virtual conditions.
Mr Pilsner said cars would still be tested during the final stages of production but during the initial stages virtual testing could save millions. Companies such as Lucas Films, Weta Digital and Pixar were using workstations to create digital images and models before entering into the production phase.
He said animation had fundamentally changed through such technology as images created in 3D format could now be rotated on screen and shared between colleagues through HP's SkyRoom across the globe in real time.
"It can predict and design the future virtually. It can design and test buildings to be resistant to earthquakes and wind through stimulation. It reduces the time from idea to conception," Mr Pilsner said.
The workstations are suitable for small businesses and many businesses are investing in technology that can reduce capital expenditure.
Cars can be virtually driven into brick walls through this technology and then engineers can assess the damage and see what needs to be fixed before the model goes into its first production cycle.
Because of this technology, engineers can return to the drawing table, redraft the model all before they start assembling the actual model. The implications for business of all sizes in immense, he said.

Hyundai Oilbank has outlined plans for a new biodiesel plant to be built in South Korea.
The new 130,000-ton facility will be constructed in the southwest of the country in 2023.
A spokesman for the company said the proposals include changing part of the Daesan plant to produce 500,000 tons of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) annually.
Daesan is a petrochemical complex in Seosan, about 120 kilometers southwest of Seoul.
The refiner said it will seek to tap into the global market with production of sustainable aviation fuel by using the HVO.
Hyundai Oilbank will also seek to build a white bio production facility in other countries, like Indonesia, where it is easy to secure the supply of raw materials, and will further expand to bio chemicals, using the by-products of white bio materials, the company said.
It will work to establish a white bio ecosystem of an annual 1 million tons by 2030, according to Hyundai Oilbank.
White biotechnology refers to using non-polluting renewable resources, like plants, molds and bacteria, to produce chemical materials and energy sources. It is considered more environmentally friendly than the existing bio business largely based on beans, corn and palm trees that can hurt forests and farms along the production process.

This week is Tongan Language Week – Uike Kātoanga'i 'o e Lea Faka-Tonga. This is the second blog post for this week where the Pacific Cultures team highlight collection items that relate to Tongan language and culture.
This is a kumete, a wooden bowl used in Tongan communities for the preparation of kava, a beverage made from the roots of the kava plant. A person preparing kava will crush the roots into a powder-like form before mixing it in a bowl with water to suitable strength and taste.
The most important use of kava is in meetings and ceremonies. Important guests and occasions are honoured with the formal serving of kava in coconut shell cups. Kava is also consumed informally, sometimes in kava clubs. While these informal kava drinking circles are often social, they are also important venues for the preservation of Tongan language and culture. Conversation, song, humour and even relationships are nurtured around the bowl through the sharing of the beverage among family and friends.
At Te Papa we collect tangible items associated with kava drinking such as kumete, kava cups and photography of specific events. However, just as interesting are the intangible elements of culture that make these artefacts significant – the stories, tales and cultural practices.
Watch this video clip from the Tales from Te Papa series where the Reverend Tevita Finau explains how kava drinking can play a role in the arts of Tongan courtship. Click here to Go to video.

text: The pressure-metering system of the improved depth gauge mechanism is housed in a pressure converter on the left-hand side of the case. Through the pressure converter, water pressure acts on a spring membrane and pushes a shaft towards the interior of the case. This movement is transmitted through a system of levers and moves the gauge's two indicators at the centre of the watch. While the blue current depth indicator moves to show current dive depth, the red maximum depth indicator remains at the maximum depth attained in the course of the dive, prevented by a pawl from returning to its original position. The maximum depth indicator can be reset to zero by pressing a push-button.


Light Paths
Referencia
Panel
Render ‣ Light Paths
Ray Types
Ray types can be divided into four categories:
 1. Camera: the ray comes straight from the camera.
 2. Reflection: the ray is generated by a reflection off a surface.
 3. Transmission: the ray is generated by a transmission through a surface.
 4. Shadow: the ray is used for (transparent) shadows.
Reflection and transmission rays can further have these properties:
 - Diffuse: the ray is generated by a diffuse reflection or transmission (translucency).
 - Glossy: the ray is generated by a glossy specular reflection or transmission.
 - Singular: the ray is generated by a perfectly sharp reflection or transmission.
The Light Path node can be used to find out the type of ray the shading is being computed for.

The object ray visibility settings.
Bounce Control
The maximum number of light bounces can be controlled manually. While ideally this should be infinite, in practice a smaller number of bounces may be sufficient, or some light interactions may be intentionally left out for faster convergence. The number of diffuse reflection, glossy reflection and transmission bounces can also be controlled individually.
Light paths are terminated probabilistically when specifying a minimum number of light bounces lower than the maximum. In that case, paths longer than minimum will be randomly stopped when they are expected to contribute less light to the image. This will still converge to the same image, but renders faster while possibly being noisier.
Transparency
The transparent BSDF shader is given special treatment. When a ray passes through it, light passes straight on, as if there was no geometry there. The ray type does not change when passing through a transparent BSDF.
Alpha pass output is also different for the transparent BSDF. Other transmission BSDFs are considered opaque, because they change the light direction. As such they cannot be used for alpha-over compositing, while this is possible with the transparent BSDF.
Note that, while semantically the ray passes through as if no geometry was hit, rendering performance is affected as each transparency step requires executing the shader and tracing a ray.
Ajustes
Max Bounces
Total
Maximum number of light bounces. For best quality, this should be set to the maximum. However, in practice, it may be good to set it to lower values for faster rendering. A value of 0 bounces results in direct lighting only.
Difusión
Maximum number of diffuse bounces.
Glossy
Maximum number of glossy bounces.
Transmisión
Maximum number of transmission bounces.
Volumen
Maximum number of volume scattering bounces.
Transparent
Maximum number of transparency bounces.
Note, the maximum number of transparent bounces is controlled separately from other bounces. It is also possible to use probabilistic termination of transparent bounces, which might help rendering many layers of transparency.
Clamping
Direct Light
This option limits the maximum intensity a sample from rays which have not yet bounced can contribute to a pixel. It reduces noise at the cost of accuracy. Setting this option to 0.0 disables clamping altogether. Lower have a greater affect (dimmer samples) on the resulting image than higher values.
Nota
This option provides a way to limit Fireflies. However, note that as you clamp out such values, other bright lights/reflections will be dimmed as well.
Care must be taken when using this setting to find a balance between mitigating fireflies and losing intentionally bright parts. It is often useful to clamp indirect bounces separately, as they tend to cause more fireflies than direct bounces. See the Clamp Indirect setting.
Indirect Light
The same as Direct Light, but for rays which have bounced multiple times.
Caustics
A common source of noise is Caustics.
Ver también
See Reducing Noise for examples of the clamp settings in use.
Filter Glossy
When using a value higher than 0.0, this will blur glossy reflections after blurry bounces, to reduce noise at the cost of accuracy. 1.0 is a good starting value to tweak.
Some light paths have a low probability of being found while contributing much light to the pixel. As a result these light paths will be found in some pixels and not in others, causing Fireflies. An example of such a difficult path might be a small light that is causing a small specular highlight on a sharp glossy material, which is observed through a rough glossy material. In fact in such a case there practically occurs a caustic.
With path tracing it is difficult to find the specular highlight, but if you increase the roughness on the material, the highlight gets bigger and softer, and so easier to find. Often this blurring will hardly be noticeable, because it is blurred by the material anyway, but there are also cases where this will lead to a loss of detail in lighting.
Caustics
Reflective
While in principle path tracing supports rendering of caustics with a sufficient number of samples, in practice it may be inefficient to the point that there is just too much noise. This option can be unchecked, to disable reflective caustics.
Refractive
The same as above, but for refractive caustics.
Fast GI Approximation
Referencia
Panel
Render ‣ Light Paths ‣ Fast GI Approximation
Approximate diffuse indirect light with background tinted ambient occlusion. This provides fast alternative to full global illumination (GI), for interactive viewport rendering or final renders with reduced quality.
Método
Fast GI approximation method.
Reemplazar
Replace global illumination with ambient occlusion after a specified number of bounces.
Agregar
Add ambient occlusion to diffuse surfaces.
AO Factor
The strength of the ambient occlusion.
AO Distance
Distance from shading point to trace rays. A shorter distance emphasizes nearby features, while longer distances make it also take objects farther away into account.
This option can also be overridden per object in the Object Properties, which is useful when you have both small and large scale objects in the same scene.
Vista Rebotes
Replace global illumination with ambient occlusion after the specified number of bounces when rendering in the 3D Viewport. This can reduce noise in interior scenes with little visual difference.
Render Bounces
Number of bounces when rendering final renders.

What is a "non-public facing" remote communication product?
A "non-public facing" remote communication product is one that, as a default, allows only the intended parties to participate in the communication.
Non-public facing remote communication products would include, for example, platforms such as Apple FaceTime, Facebook Messenger video chat, Google Hangouts video, Whatsapp video chat, Zoom, or Skype. Such products also would include commonly used texting applications such as Signal, Jabber, Facebook Messenger, Google Hangouts, Whatsapp, or
iMessage. Typically, these platforms employ end-to-end encryption, which allows only an individual and the person with whom the individual is communicating to see what is transmitted. The platforms also support individual user accounts, logins, and passcodes to help limit access and verify participants. In addition, participants are able to assert some degree of control over particular capabilities, such as choosing to record or not record the communication or to mute or turn off the video or audio signal at any point.
In contrast, public-facing products such as TikTok, Facebook Live, Twitch, or a public chat room are not acceptable forms of remote communication for telehealth because they are designed to be open to the public or allow wide or indiscriminate access to the communication. For example, a provider that uses Facebook Live to stream a presentation made available to all its patients about the risks of COVID-19 would not be considered reasonably private provision of telehealth services. A provider that chooses to host such a public-facing presentation would not be covered by the Notification and should not identify patients or offer individualized patient advice in such a livestream.

Breckenridge to take water from Miner's Creek to replace Blue River water used higher in the basin
By Bob Berwyn
SUMMIT COUNTY — While the big trans-mountain water diversions to the Front Range tend to get most of the attention, Summit County's hillsides are also laced with smaller ditches and channels that move water out of their natural drainages for agriculture, municipal use or snowmaking.
Some of these diversions are more than 100 years old, dating back to the mining era. Last week, the town of Breckenridge got the Forest Service OK to divert water from Miner's Creek, a Frisco-area stream, up to the North Barton Gulch drainage, where it will flow into the Upper Blue to make up for water that's used elsewhere in the basin.
Blue River resident Robin Theobald discovered the old diversion ditch more than 10 years ago and notified the town, which decided to take advantage of that flow to enhance its own water portfolio.
The water would be shunted about 2,400 feet from Miners Creek to North Barton Creek and back into the Blue River. The diversion would enable Breckenridge to take more water from the Blue River upstream while still meeting minimum stream flow requirements in the Blue River between the town and Dillon Reservoir.
The historic ditch has been carrying water from Miners Creek to Barton Creek since the mining era, but the flow is not formally controlled or measured.
When Breckenridge first applied for formal water rights to the Miner's Creek flows, it raised some hackles with a group of residents in the Bill's Ranch neighborhood. They were concerned that the diversion could affect trout in Miner's Creek, as well as ditches and ponds in their neighborhood.
Since then, a settlement agreement limited the amount of water Breckenridge can divert while maintaining a minimum stream flow in Miner's Creek.

The web page that I wanted to test using Selenium consisted of multiple tinymce editors used for various rich textareas. Internet Explorer 8 was the target browser. Obviously simply using the type command with input text did not work. So googled on how other people achieved this, found following two solutions:
1. Select frame and then type text
2. Identify the text area using DOM locator
selectFrame id_of_tinymce_iframe focus tinymce type tinymce Text_text selectFrame relative=parent
type dom=document.getElementById('id_of_tinymce_iframe').contentWindow.document.body Test_text
Both of them seem to work on Firefox where I develop my test using Selenium IDE. But on IE 8 I would not see the "Test_text" in the TinyMCE textarea even though the steps would run fine. The way I ended up achieving this was by using the following:
Yes and this did work on IE 8.
focus dom=document.getElementById('id_of_tinymce_iframe').contentWindow.document.body getEval selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.getElementById('id_of_tinymce_iframe').contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML = 'Test_text';

A novel two-step method for cross language representation learning
Cross language text classification is an important learning task in natural language processing. A critical challenge of cross language learning arises from the fact that words of different languages are in disjoint feature spaces. In this paper, we propose a two-step representation learning method to bridge the feature spaces of different languages by exploiting a set of parallel bilingual documents. Specifically, we first formulate a matrix completion problem to produce a complete parallel document-term matrix for all documents in two languages, and then induce a low dimensional cross-lingual document representation by applying latent semantic indexing on the obtained matrix. We use a projected gradient descent algorithm to solve the formulated matrix completion problem with convergence guarantees. The proposed method is evaluated by conducting a set of experiments with cross language sentiment classification tasks on Amazon product reviews. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed learning method outperforms a number of other cross language representation learning methods, especially when the number of parallel bilingual documents is small.

In the scope of the ESA project "New Guidance Schemes for the Terminal Area Energy Management (TAEM) of Atmospheric Re-entry", the nonlinear guidance and control approach initially developed for Mars entry was adapted for an Earth re-entry. The scheme was applied to two types of Earth atmospheric entry missions (ISS and Lunar return missions), and a subscale Apollo-like vehicle was modeled.
The reference low-g (<3g) trajectories, which are especially challenging given the limited aerodynamic capabilities of the capsule, were optimised for both missions using the ASTOS software.
Despite these demanding requirements, the performance achieved by the nonlinear guidance scheme yielded further proof of both the validity and the performance of the proposed solution to the guided entry problem. In particular, lunar return trajectories all remained within a 2km circular radius, with >80% of cases within 250m.

We perform the wavepacket dynamics simulation of a graphene-based device where propagating electron trajectories are tamed by an applied magnetic field toward a normal/superconductor interface. The magnetic field controls the incidence angle of the incoming electronic wavepacket at the interface, which results in the tunable electron–hole ratio in the reflected wave function due to the angular dependence of the Andreev reflection. Here, mapped control of the quasiparticle trajectories by the external magnetic field not only defines an experimental probe for fundamental studies of the Andreev reflection in graphene but also lays the foundation for further development of magnetic focusing devices based on nanoengineered superconducting two-dimensional materials.

Bainbridge Island, Washington, is home to a number of historical concrete structures that are remnants of the island's military past.
The presence of the United States naval base in Bremerton was one of the reasons for the establishment of coastal defense sites like Fort Ward. The Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton has been an important facility for the United States Navy, particularly during the World War I and World War II eras when the threat of naval invasion was considered significant.
Fort Ward and other military installations in the Puget Sound area were part of the Harbor Defense of Puget Sound, a network of forts designed to prevent enemy ships from entering the inland waters and attacking naval assets, industrial facilities, and cities like Seattle and Tacoma. The strategic importance of protecting these naval and industrial resources led to the development of comprehensive coastal defense systems, including gun batteries, minefields, and observation posts, to secure the area against potential threats.
At lease five concrete bunkers are identified in the article below. If you know of more, please see the last FAQ below and let us know where it is!
Fort Ward's Concrete Bunkers
Fort Ward was established in the early 20th century, around the time of World War I, and was later expanded during World War II. The fort was part of a larger network of military installations intended to defend the important industrial and military facilities in the Bremerton area and the Seattle harbor.
The concrete structures you see scattered around the park include gun emplacements, bunkers, and ammunition magazines. These were built to be sturdy and long-lasting, and many have survived to this day, offering a glimpse into the area's military history. Some of these structures were designed to house large guns that could fire on enemy ships, while others were used for storing ammunition or for housing troops and command centers.
After World War II, the need for coastal defenses like Fort Ward diminished, and many of the military installations were decommissioned. The land was eventually turned over for public use, and Fort Ward became a state park then a city park.
Today, visitors to Fort Ward Park can explore these concrete structures, which have been preserved as historical artifacts. The park also offers recreational opportunities, including hiking, biking, camping and enjoying the natural beauty of the area.
The history of Fort Ward is a reminder of the strategic importance of the Puget Sound region in national defense plans during the first half of the 20th century. The remaining structures serve as a physical connection to the past and are a point of interest for both locals and visitors interested in military history. A more detailed history can be read in the Wikipedia entry.

Objectives: Despite decreasing mortality rates in acute lung injury, studies of long-term physical function in acute lung injury survivors have consistently reported poorer quality of life persisting years into recovery for reasons that are not completely understood. We sought to determine if pulmonary dysfunction is independently associated with functional impairment among acute lung injury survivors and to determine if high-resolution computed tomography could be used to predict its development.
Design: Secondary analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial in acute lung injury.
Setting: ICUs at three academic medical centers.
Patients: Patients diagnosed with acute lung injury who had high-resolution computed tomography scans performed at 14 and/or 180 days after diagnosis.
Measurements and main results: An objective radiologic scoring system was used to quantify patterns present on chest high-resolution computed tomography obtained at 14 and 180 days in patients with acute lung injury. These scores were correlated in univariable and multivariable analyses with pulmonary function testing and quality of life survey data obtained at 180 days. Eighty-nine patients had evaluable data at day 14, and 47 at 180 days. At 180 days, increased radiologic scores for reticulation were associated with a decreased total lung capacity, forced vital capacity, and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (p values all < 0.002). Decrements in quality of life attributable to pulmonary dysfunction were most strongly associated with higher radiologic scores. Additionally, radiologic scores at 14 days independently predicted poorer quality of life at 180 days, accounting for age, severity of illness, pneumonia as the acute lung injury risk factor, and length of time on mechanical ventilation.
Conclusions: Among survivors of acute lung injury, increasing chest high-resolution computed tomography involvement correlated with restrictive physiology and poorer health-related quality of life, implicating pulmonary dysfunction as a potential contributor to activity limitation in these patients.

Objective: To report our experience with magnetic resonance urography (MRU) in pregnant women suspected of having obstructing upper tract calculi. The diagnosis of an upper tract calculus in the pregnant woman can be challenging. Recent evidence suggests that MRU can be used to effectively evaluate renal colic. Methods: From 2008-2011, 9 pregnant women were referred for evaluation of suspected renal colic caused by an obstructing upper tract stone. All patients underwent MRU with a half Fourier single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) protocol. Medical records and imaging studies were reviewed for demographic and clinical data as well as outcome measures. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 25 years (range 20-34); average gestational age of the fetus was 23 weeks (range 9-36). In all cases, a renal ultrasound was the initial imaging study obtained, with nondiagnostic findings. HASTE MRU detected 4 ureteral stones and 4 cases of physiological hydronephrosis of pregnancy. In one case, interpretation of the MRU was limited as a result of patient motion. Of the patients with obstructing stones, 1 required endourologic management during her pregnancy and 3 were followed conservatively. No adverse events related to MRU occurred. Conclusion: HASTE MRU is an informative imaging study for pregnant women with suspected upper tract stone disease. Information gathered from this study augments that gained from alternative modalities, and aids in medical decision-making. The lack of ionizing radiation exposure, coupled with the capture of detailed anatomic imaging, makes HASTE MRU a particularly useful study in this setting.

During a recent archaeological site on Guernsey in English Channel scientists made a very unexpected discovery. One From the excavated ancient graves, scientists found the remains of a dolphin.
Philip de Jersey and his colleagues discovered a burial ground in which the bodies of medieval monks were buried. However, among of them, to everyone's surprise, turned out to be the corpse of a marine mammal. The excavation manager reports:
It is very strange. We do not know what to think. What for Someone needed to dig a dolphin here many centuries ago? His grave was dug very carefully and made so that it It looked like a burial place of a person. Apparently, the one who he did, attached great importance to this animal. we wonder why? Dolphins were caught for meat and fat, however, for the first time I see that the animal is buried in a full the grave as a person.
Some researchers have suggested that dolphins could bury here to eat later. They say monks don't I wanted to dig a special hole, so they put their prey to a grave intended for someone. In favor of this hypotheses say traces of salt (a known preservative) found in the earth and the remains of an animal. It is possible that the buried carcass the dolphin was simply forgotten, and other people took it for a grave with by the human body inside.
However, this theory is no less fantastic than all the others, oh which scientists are trying especially not to spread. Nonetheless, as a hypothesis that does not contradict any orthodox dogma science is quite acceptable. But the true reason for this we offer our readers to think about their own graves …

Fatwa allow Syrians to eat cats, dogs to survive starvation
By Ghanizada - Tue Oct 15 2013, 9:36 pm
Syria-conflictReligious clerics in Syria have issued a new ruling (Fatwa) which allows tens of thousands of Syrians suffering from starvation, to eat meat that is normally forbidden.
The besieged Syrians were allowed in the new ruling (Fatwa) to eat cats, dogs and donkeys in a bid to survive from starvation.
The evidence of starvation of tens of thousands of people emerged after Syrian Arab Red Crescent evacuated women, children and elderly men from the rebel-held area of Moaddamiyah, where they had been surrounded for nearly 10 months.
In the meantime the syrian oppposition released video footage purporting to be from Moaddamiyah which shows besieged Syrians starving to death.
Moaddamiyah is one of at least five areas in Syria that are besieged either by regime forces or by rebels trying to overthrow Assad.
The religious ruling (Fatwa) was issued on the ocassion of Eid al-Adha, which authorizes the besieged Syrians in the Ghouta agricultural belt around Damascus to eat animals usually considered unfit for human consumption in Islam.
The clerics also warned that the living would have to eat the dead, if the situation continued to deteriorate.

While new bass players generally learn to play using right-hand finger plucking techniques, many bassists choose to play the bass with a pick. As a newer bass player, or as an intermediate one joining a new band or getting into a new musical style, you may be wondering which approach to choose.
Whether to play with fingers or a pick depends on the tone and rhythmic feel you want to achieve. A pick gives you a sharper, more percussive and driving tone and allows you to play faster 8th/16th notes on a single string. Finger plucking gives you a rounder sound and is better for a pocket feel and frequent string changes.
Playing with a pick generally produces a more aggressive and articulate tone which helps the bass cut into the mix as a rhythm instrument. The ability to alternate up and down strokes at a very rapid pace (aka tremolo picking) lets you play super-fast patterns on one or two strings.
Most bassists prefer to use finger plucking for laying down a foundational groove with a larger tone. The attack produced by a pick is not as appropriate for this goal. Finger plucking gives you better control over the strings and produces a more fluid and mellow kind of tone compared to a pick.
Fingers playing on the bass also makes skipping strings easier and lets you play two notes at the same time spanning more than 2 strings (e.g. for a 10th double stop). Playing with the fingers also allows you to easily swap to slapping and back during a piece.
Both pick and finger plucking have their advantages and limitations and should both be part of a good bass player's toolkit. Choosing the right-hand technique for a groove is akin to selecting the right pickup, the right bass, and the right plucking position for achieving the desired sound.
Table of Contents
Tone & definition
As mentioned, the pick typically gives you a sharper attack, while fingerstyle playing provides a much rounder and woolier sound with a smoother punch appropriate for song with mellow tones.
With newer players, finger plucking can sound undefined. However, definition quickly improves with technique and with the calluses that build up on the fingers. Note that there's no way around getting blisters when playing fingerstyle, however the calluses become painless once they get thicker.
With the right technique, hard finger playing can actually bring up more attack than a pick due to the trebles from the strings hitting the frets. See this post for more about how hard to pluck on a bass.
Frequently, "normal" (not hard) fingerstyle bass plucking technique in a live setting will cut through the mix better than a pick since a lot of the treble produced gets lost in the mid-high range of the other instruments.
On the other hand, a pick can produce a purer attack and sound when playing hard as it leaves out more harmonics compared to finger playing, which is great for bass recording.
Another reason pick playing often provides a cleaner sound on the bass is that, in contrast to apoyando-style finger playing, you don't get the noise of the finger hitting the lower string when following through.
Pick playing gives you snappier attacks and punchier tones with more logarithmic decay. Pick is also good for bass lines that require muted scratchy strokes.
While slapping and popping requires finger playing, similar-sounding attacks can be obtained with a pick and some additional gain. Conversely, a pick-like tone can be achieved by digging it harder and adding some extra treble.
Many bassists are attached to the 60s-like tone of a P bass with old flat strings played with a pick.
Rhythm & muting
Fingerstyle bass playing has the advantage of letting you always have a free finger for string muting, making it suitable for playing more complex and spaced rhythms. When you pluck, your finger follows through on to the next string and mutes it.
In contrast, playing with a pick makes it harder to mute the string adjacent to the one your playing. This is actually an advantage when you want to let a string ring for playing another note against it. Pick playing also typically works great for palm muting.
Another area where bass fingerstyle and pick-style playing differ is rhythm. On the one hand, finger playing lets you add more groove and articulation than pick playing, and hence works best for very groovy songs. For example, many bassists prefer to play syncopated funk lines with their fingers as they're able to play faster.
On the other hand, a pick lets more easily play a same note fast while keeping the pace with less strain on your fingers. E.g. punk and metal songs that involve rapid repetitive 8th or 16th notes during a relatively long time span.
It's worth noting though, that using a pick on the bass for fast punk music sometimes lead to wrist strain because of the heavy string tension. In these cases, it's best to revert to fingerstyle.
Also, picking the bass with a plectrum works best when there is little string skipping, while fingerstyle playing is best where dynamics are involved.
Power & expressiveness
Besides speed and rhythm, power and expressiveness also influence whether to play with fingers or a pick on the bass.
While some people use the pick to get more power, bassists with proper apoyando technique are generally able to play just as loud, or even louder, using their fingers.
Also, while playing the bass at a fast tempo can be easier with a pick, very high speeds can also be attained with two or three finger plucking techniques with high coordination.
Many bassists feel that, using a pick, they're able to play accents much more evenly on fast 8th or 16th note patterns due to the homogeneous nature of the up and down strokes. While fingerstyle plucking can fast as well, the sound is generally not as homogeneous across finger strokes.
As mentioned though, fingerstyle bass has the upper hand for dynamics. Fingers offer much more subtle and versatile variations and character – truly soft notes, more distinguishable accents. Playing with a pick is generally a good option if the focus is on volume and velocity vs expression – e.g. in punk and metal.
Fingerstyle bass plucking allows for easy transitioning to slap/pop for a more powerful attack, or adjusting the fingering angle to add warmth and softness without adding unwanted loudness.
Pick vs finger bass playing and genre
Many metal bass players favor the pick, as the harder edged attack helps them be heard, and lock in with the guitars that are playing fast and repetitive patterns. A good bass with flatwound d'addario's medium gauge played with a pick can produce a great-sounding punchy metallic sound with a nice growl.
Some new metal bassists, on the other hand, prefer fingerstyle as it allows them to throw in a slap and pop once in a while.
Rock bassists like John Paul Jones and John Entwistle are known to constantly alternate between pick and fingers for varied tones and playing techniques.
Some bass players in other styles e.g. soundscape commonly use a pick for playing around the high part of the neck while adding delay and reverb effects for high and clean attacks.
To recap, the ability to play with both your fingers and with a pick makes you a better bassist as you can mix and match techniques based on the music played. Pick playing gives you sharper attacks and percussiveness, fast repetitive note playing, unmuted riging notes, and homogeneous stokes and accents.
Finger plucking gives you speed and agility for string skipping, warmer and rounder tones, great dynamics and sensitivity for complex and syncopated rhythms, and the ability to dig in hard and switch back and forth to and from slap & pop.


Can Guinea Pigs Eat Peaches? Benefits And Risks
The simple answer to the question, can guinea pigs eat peaches, is yes. Your lovely little furry friends can most definitely enjoy these peaches.
However, guinea pigs cannot have many peaches at once, so this is definitely a snack; you can treat them occasionally as a reward. But as long as you remember not to feed them peaches that frequently, your little pet guinea pigs will be perfectly safe enjoying this delicious fruit.
Always take note that our fuzzy and furry little guinea pigs are highly sensitive, and you can only feed them a limited amount of some selected fruits and vegetables. Although peaches cannot be a daily meal for your pets, you can benefit from feeding them this fruit because of its many health benefits.
Let's delve further!
Health Benefits Of Feeding Pet Guinea Pigs Peaches
After answering the question, can guinea pigs eat peaches? Here are some of the health benefits of feeding them such a fruit:
 - High levels of antioxidants
Your little pet guinea pigs can surely benefit from eating peaches because of their high levels of antioxidants, making them incredibly healthy for your furry guinea pigs because they can help prevent various diseases and somehow slow their aging process.
 - Helps prevent some types of cancers for guinea pigs
Caffeic acid and carotenoids are just some of the antioxidants found in peaches. These two antioxidants are capable of anticancer protection and effectiveness, according to recent studies.
 - Strong guinea pig immune system
Large amounts of vitamin A are present in peaches. Vitamin A is good for helping your guinea pig's immune system be strong and healthy.
Nutritional facts of peaches
Peaches are sweet and juicy fruits. They are safe for your cavies to eat and even has health benefits. It's low in fat and calcium, rich in Vitamin C and various antioxidants. But, peaches also contain a lot of glucose and has high levels of acidity.
So, feed your guinea pigs peaches sparingly. Have them as a treat rather than a part of their diet. Once a week, with twice being the limit, should do. The standard serving size is one slice. However, this only applies to matured guinea pigs. It's not recommended for baby guinea pigs to consume it.
Remember not to feed your little friend peaches the very day that you offered other sugary treats. If your guinea pig loves peaches, white peaches are a better option. They are sweeter but comparatively have lower acid levels. Still, restrictions should be observed even if you can feed them a slightly larger slice.
Although it's safe to eat the skin, rinse the peaches properly. There may be remnants of chemicals or bacteria left. Additionally, never feed them dried peaches or canned ones. A guinea pigs' digestive system cannot consume dried fruit. Canned peaches are overly sweet, especially with the syrup and preservatives.
In a serving of 100g, there is:
 - Calories: 39
 - Total fat: 0.3 g
 - Potassium: 190 mg
 - Dietary fiber: 1.5 g
 - Sugar: 8 g
 - Protein: 0.9 g
 - Vitamin A: 6%
 - Vitamin C: 11%
 - Calcium: 0%
 - Iron: 1%
 - Magnesium 2%
Risks To Consider
As sweet and delectable peaches are, consuming it comes with some risks. It has high glucose content that can cause diarrhea and obesity.
Obesity in guinea pigs can cause various health issues and can imminently lead to their death. Due to the unique digestive system of guinea pigs, they struggle to break down sugar. Unable to break it down, they suffer through constipation and diarrhea.
Aside from high sugar levels, peaches have high acidity. The high acidity levels can burn their lips or throat. And even develop sore lips. Additionally, there is potential for fungal infections.
In all fruits, there is always trouble with pesticides. While not considered a vital risk, remnant pesticides left on the peach skin can upset their digestive system. You can be through when washing, or if you don't feel safe, merely peel off the skin.
You don't want your pet to end up like my friend's since after she overfed her guinea pigs with peaches, lots of health issues emerged. Followed with check-up fees.
Are Peaches For Guinea Pigs?
Peaches are nectarines with many benefits and may have a few issues. But don't worry, we are here to give you some tips and reminders. Here is some additional information that can be of help in certain situations. Just keep reading!
How many peaches can you feed your pet guinea pigs?
Your guinea pigs are most definitely allowed to eat peaches. However, you can only feed them a small serving size of peaches with a maximum frequency of 2 times a week. My ginger really enjoys nibbling on these yummy treats!
Peaches are fruits that contain very high amounts of sugar, and your little pet guinea pigs are highly sensitive to sugar. Guinea pigs can also eat the peach's skin, as long as you have washed the peach properly so that traces of pesticides will not be present on the skin.
Are our peaches and nectarines good for guinea pigs?
Can guinea pigs eat peaches and nectarines? Your cute little pet guinea pigs can eat peaches and nectarines. However, a nectarine is a fruit that has a pit that you should remove before feeding it to your guinea pigs.
Nectarines are very delicious fruits, but they are sweet and sugary. Because of their sweetness and high sugar content, they are not very good for your guinea pigs to eat daily because guinea pigs are highly sensitive to sugar. So remember to consider peaches and nectarines as treats that you can feed them occasionally but not frequently.
How much portion size should I feed my guinea pigs? How often?
Your guinea pig may like other kinds of food, and a number of them may be high in sugar and water content, just like peaches. Their diet must not contain an excessive amount of these components, so you should regulate their sugar and water intake.
Peaches should only be fed once or twice a week, not in succession. The portion size should be comprised of a few slices, at most. Keep in mind that nectarines are considered snacks and not consumed regularly. Remember our golden rule: serve in moderation. I always keep this in mind to avoid overfeeding ginger.
Can nectarine skin be given to guinea pigs?
Peach skin has quite an appealing taste to guinea pigs. Yes, it is edible and, therefore, available for consumption. Also, remind yourself to rinse it thoroughly and make sure it's clean. You can also consider taking the peel off if you're still having second thoughts.
How to give your guinea pig peaches for the first time?
It is important to remember that guinea pigs are quite like humans. They need enough time to get used to a new feeling. When feeding them a new kind of food, give it in small portions; to make sure their diet doesn't change abruptly and cause imbalance.
Pay extra attention to their reactions, and this will determine whether you will include the fruit in their diet. A positive reaction can give you a signal. In contrast, an adverse reaction should make you remove the fruit from the diet.
Even if peaches are very beneficial, it is crucial to put your pet's safety first. There are thousands of fruits available for consumption other than peaches. If the pigs like it, you can continue the diet by gradually increasing the portion size.
So, can guinea pigs eat peaches? We wholeheartedly say yes! Aside from the numerous health benefits peaches can offer your beloved pet, the sweet taste and juicy texture will surely excite your pig and make it appreciate you even more!
Keep in mind to do everything in moderation. Give average-sized portions and clean the fruits thoroughly before feeding it. If you keep the instructions and tips we gave in this article; then you're good to go!

Purpose: To develop a method for estimating the radiation dose to the conceptus from multidetector computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis in pregnant patients during the first 7 weeks of gestation.
Materials and methods: This study was approved by the institutional review board and informed consent was obtained. A CT simulation software package was used to (a) develop voxelized models on the basis of image data from 117 nonpregnant patients who underwent abdominal and pelvic multidetector CT and (b) calculate dose at a position of the uterus assumed to be the position of the conceptus in case of pregnancy during the first 7 weeks of gestation. Regression analysis was carried out to establish the relationship among conceptus dose, patient body size, and distance from the conceptus to the anterior skin surface.
Results: Normalized conceptus doses calculated by using the software package ranged from 0.335 to 0.785 mGy per absorbed dose to air. Conceptus dose showed a significant correlation with maternal body size and conceptus depth (R² = 0.793, P < .001). A multivariable correlation of conceptus dose normalized to the free-in-air CT dose index (CTDI(F)) with conceptus depth and patient perimeter was produced for estimating conceptus dose from abdominal and pelvic multidetector CT. Conceptus dose data provided for a specific scanner can be applied to other scanners by using correction factors based on ratios between the weighted CT dose index and CTDI(F), resulting in inaccuracies in the estimation of conceptus dose of less than 12%.
Conclusion: The radiation dose to the conceptus from abdominal and pelvic multidetector CT can be estimated with a method that allows for variations in maternal body size and conceptus position.

A research facility in green concrete
The state-of-the-art research facility of B130 at the Department of Civil Engineering of DTU – Technical University of Denmark will act as a framework for the department's research of materials as well as supporting a number of its core services. The building itself is part of the research project on green concrete, where, for the first time ever, a newly developed green concrete is used, saving up to 30 percent in CO₂ emissions.
The ambition of the building is to support interdisciplinary collaboration and to offer an attractive and stimulating universe for research and learning. Hence, the disposal of the project is based on securing a high degree of openness and transparency – both in relation to the surroundings, where the students and employees can include the outdoor areas for experiments, and within the building where one will be able to view the activities in the workshops and laboratories from the outside. Furthermore, the workshops and laboratories of B130 will consist of facilities that support research, teaching and innovation of building materials.
Together with B128 and B129, completed in 2018, B130 will create a sculptural and workshop inspired spatial whole.

Retrieving Earth's phase curve
Presentation #1119 in the session "Open Engagement Session B".
Published onMar 17, 2021
Retrieving Earth's phase curve
The EPOXI extended mission phase for the Deep Impact spacecraft observed the Earth in 2008 and 2009 as an analog for a habitable terrestrial exoplanet. The EPOXI data ranges over visible and near-infrared wavelengths and consits of five observations. They are at five different phase angles and three are equatorial observations and two polar (one North and one South) over a 24 hour period. This data is used to create the phase curve and it is compared to a Lambertian scattering disk as can be seen in Figure 1.
The model lines are made using Equation 1 where Ag is the geometric albedo, pi F is the incoming flux and the final term is the Lambert phase function [Madhusudhan and Burrows, 2012].
The geometric albedo to create the lines is 0.2 [Mallama, 2009]. This value is greatly smaller than the classic value for geometric albedo of 0.4341, showing that there is research to be done. Besides this, it can be seen that the difference between model and empirical data is dependent on wavelength. Furthermore, the polar observations have clearly a higher signal than the model for all wavelengths. Since the geometric albedo is the only variable, one can solve for the required geometric albedo to match the model with the data. These values can be seen in Table 1.
From these values, it can be seen that the shorter wavelengths require higher values than longer wavelengths. Furthermore, it shows that the polar observations are distinct from the equatorial ones and it shows that results can be misleading if only equatorial observations would be used. Additionally, it can be seen that despite the different phase angle, the equatorial observations have a similar geometric albedo for each wavelength. The same can be said for the polar observations, even though they are opposite poles. In general, all these numbers are much lower than the geometric albedo of 0.434. Now the values for geometric albedo from EarthObs1 are used to plot the model lines, the result can be seen in Figure 2. This figure visualises what is said before, that the equatorial observations are similar but the polar observations are clearly different.
The analysis still needs to be extended to the infrared region but the visible already shows potential for research. The same potential is expected from the infrared, due to the high signal-to-noise ratio compared to what would be available for a real exoplanet observation. The next step of the research will also involve adapting and improving an exoplanet model made by Dr. D. M. Stam (TU Delft) as the goal is to be able to predict the signal for a certain phase angle.

Simply energy efficiency is about media size. Smaller media has more surface area and higher media / particle collision frequency making it more efficient. The high intensity in the IsaMill™ means small media can break coarse particles. The large scale of the IsaMill™ makes that efficiency available to mainstream grinding.
The high energy efficiency of stirred mills compared to ball mills is well understood. The use of tower mills as an energy efficient alternative to secondary and regrind ball milling became a common inclusion in the latter part of the previous century. Traditionally the higher energy efficiency was attributed to the difference between attrition grinding in tower mills and impact grinding in ball milling. However by far the most important factor for fine grinding is media size and therefore the breakage rate. Small media has a larger surface area which translates to better transfer of energy. Although Tower Mills are full attrition grinding, they are constrained to using relatively coarse media 12-25mm balls. In contrast the IsaMill™ can operate with much finer media (e.g. 1mm) and much higher intensity of power input.

Media selection has a major influence on mill parameters such as energy efficiency, internal wear and operating costs. With the introduction of economic ceramic media the energy efficiency of IsaMills™ increases dramatically.

You see that '(a b (c d) e) is a tree, don't you? Something like
In this representation, nodes are lists, and leafs are symbols. What you could do, it print all the leafs of the tree:

 1. If the tree's CAR is a symbol, print it, then process the CDR of the tree
 2. If the tree's CAR is a list, process the CAR of the tree, then process the CDR o the tree
Once you do that, you'll replace "print" by "put the value somewhere". Hopefully, that should lead you to what you want.
