text: In this study, the performance of a biotrickling filter (BTF) treating complex mixtures of VOCs from pharmaceutical industries was evaluated. Effects of inlet loading rate (ILR) and empty bed residence time (EBRT) on elimination capacity (EC) and removal efficiency (RE) were evaluated. Methanol, ethanol, acetone and toluene were taken as model pollutants. The net inlet concentration was varied from 1 to 4g/m3 to achieve an ILR variation from 52 to 419g/m3/h, while the EBRT was varied from 25 to 69s. The BTF was able to completely degrade the VOCs up to an ILR of 240g/m3/h, while treating mixed pollutants. On the other hand, 100% RE was achieved for ILRs up to 320g/m3/h in case of single pollutants and the corresponding maximum elimination capacity (ECmax) for ethanol and acetone was 380g/m3/h. However, the ECmax was only 320g/m3/h for the BTF treating mixed pollutants. Competitive interactions between different pollutants resulted in significantly lower ECmax for individual pollutants in a mixed pollutant system than those in a single pollutant system. Toluene was the most resistant to degradation, followed by acetone, among the four pollutants studied. It was found that much of the degradation of ethanol and methanol occurred in the first 30cm of BTF. It was also observed that the ILR and nature of the pollutants significantly affected the RE achieved at different EBRTs. Results from this study help in selecting the operational parameters for optimal performance of a BTF treating complex mixtures of VOCs emitted from pharmaceutical industries. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Natural Resource Modeling
New natural resource modeling study findings recently were published by researchers at University of Foggia
March 13th, 2010
"In this paper, we propose a model describing the commercial exploitation of a common renewable resource by a population of strategically interacting agents. Players can cooperate or compete; cooperators maximize the payoff of their group while defectors maximize their own profit," scientists in Foggia, Italy report.
"The partition of the players into two groups, defectors and cooperators, results from the players' choices, so it is not predetermined. This partition is decided as a Nash equilibrium of a static game. It is shown that different types of players can exist in an equilibrium; more precisely, depending on the parameter values such as resource stock, cost, and so...

Why is boxing forbidden in Islam?
Muhammad Ali, loved by Muslims all around the world, suffers Parkinson's, due to hard blows on face. More than 400 boxers have been injured and even died because of this dangerous sport.
Boxing is based on allowing punches to the face of one's opponent using the maximum force that one possesses. Blows to the face earn more points than blows to any other part of the body. This clearly goes against the teaching of the Prophet (sa), as narrated by Abu Hurayrah (rtam): "When any one of you fights, let him avoid (striking) the face." (Bukhari)
Indeed it is Allah's (swt) Rahmah (mercy) upon us to protect our bodies from harm and avoid such violent fights by making such sports forbidden.

Thousand Oaks Water Damage Crews Urge Readiness Despite Flood Freedom
In the midst of a significant weather disturbance dubbed as the "Pineapple Express", Thousand Oaks is probably one of a handful of places that neither floods nor mudslides have touched. Constant improvements in the area's drainage systems, even when the sun is high, prevented the city from sinking under several feet of muddy water. Some of its improvements, Kyle Jorrey of the Thousand Oaks Acorn reported, were bioswales. Also known as a vegetation swale, this retention mechanism works by treating storm water as it guides it away from critical infrastructure. Bioswales are common in parking lots and roadways, where its vegetation brings aesthetic value.

This article is brought to you in association with the European Commission.
Today, the European Commission proposes to support 473 former workers of vending machine company Selecta in France who have lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic with €4 million from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF). The funding will help these people find new jobs through tailored guidance and advice, develop new skills, and start their own business.
Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights, Nicolas Schmit, said: "Many people across Europe have been hit hard by the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, the EU is showing solidarity with 473 former Selecta employees in France with €4 million from the European Globalisation Fund. The funding goes towards personalised training courses and job-search support, or towards starting their own business."
France applied for EGF support to help dismissed workers at Selecta, following a drop in sales of products by vending machines because of the COVID-19 pandemic, related restrictions on mobility and the use of remote working.
The support to the dismissed workers includes learning new skills through vocational training, job search assistance and funding to start their own business. They will also benefit from psychological support, advisory services and counselling. Job-search allowances are also included in the support measures. Those who start a new job can receive a bonus and contributions to the cost of moving to a new place. Former workers starting their own business can receive training in business creation and up to €6,000 to cover set-up costs.
The total estimated cost of these support measures is €4.8 million, of which the EGF will cover 85% (€4 million). Selecta will finance the remaining 15%. Support to the eligible workers started in April 2021, shortly before the first layoffs.
The Commission's proposal requires approval by the European Parliament and the Council.
The economic and financial consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions on movement and remote working have had a strong impact on sales of products by vending machines.
The fall in the number of workers in offices and of visitors to other places where Selecta's vending machines are located, such as railway stations, resulted in a drastic fall in turnover per machine. Faced with economic difficulties, the enterprise had to restructure its activities and dismissed 473 workers.
The region of Île-de-France (32%) and the city of Lille (13%) were most affected by Selecta displacements. Due to a difficult employment situation in these places and given that one third of the displaced workers have a low level of education, French authorities expect that the workers impacted by Selecta's restructuring will be in need of personalised support to find new jobs.
Under the new EGF regulation 2021-2027, the Fund continues to support displaced workers and self-employed people who have lost their activity. With the new rules, EGF support becomes more easily available for people affected by restructuring events: all types of unexpected major restructuring events can be eligible for support, including the economic effects of the COVID-19 crisis, as well as larger economic trends like decarbonisation and automation. Member States can apply for EU funding when at least 200 workers lose their jobs within a specific reference period.
In November 2021, for instance, the Commission proposed that 297 dismissed Airbus workers in France, who lost their jobs due to the pandemic, will be supported with €3.7 million from the EGF.
Overall, since 2007, the EGF has made available some €660 million in 170 cases, offering help to nearly 166,000 people in 20 Member States. EGF-supported measures add to national active labour market measures.

What do those Certifications Mean?
What do those certifications mean?
Certifications Defined
You've probably seen the NSF and UL labels while shopping for restaurant equipment (and many other products) before. And you probably already have an idea that they represent information about sanitation and safety. But many people, especially those who are new to the industry, may not realize the importance of these small icons on a product. Armed with knowledge about the meanings of these symbols, business owners can make an educated decision about products that will greatly impact their business.
NSF Certification
NSF International (formerly known as the National Sanitation Foundation) is an independent organization that certifies foodservice equipment and ensures it is designed and constructed in a way that promotes food safety. NSF-approved equipment is designed to follow health department rules and helps operators improve inspection scoring.
NSF Food Equipment Certification is a product level certification that addresses the acceptable sanitation requirements for equipment and materials intended for commercial foodservice. NSF Certification is not a one-time activity. The certification programs require regular on-site inspections of the manufacturing facilities and periodic re-testing, as required by policies.
NSF Certified Rethermalizer
This is an additional level of testing done by NSF that is indicated on our product descriptions with our own icon. It applies to our food warmers that pass the NSF test for rethermalization, which is to ensure food is quickly heated to a safe temperature before bacteria has an opportunity to grow. If you're wondering about the symbol itself, it was home grown by our marketing department; there is no "official icon" set by NSF.
cULus Listed Certification |
The UL Listing mark is one of the most common UL marks. If a product carries this mark, it means UL found that representative product samples met UL's safety requirements. These requirements are primarily based on UL's own published standards for safety. This type of mark is seen commonly on appliances and computer equipment, furnaces and heaters, fuses, electrical panel boards, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, fire extinguishers and sprinkler systems, personal flotation devices, bullet resistant glass, and thousands of other products.
There are three variations of UL's Listing mark: one used only in the United States, one used only in Canada and one for both the United States and Canada. The C-UL mark is applied to products for the Canadian market. The products with this type of mark have been evaluated to Canadian safety requirements, which may be somewhat different from U.S. safety requirements. The optional C-UL-US mark indicates compliance with both Canadian and U.S. requirements. UL encourages those manufacturers with products certified for both countries to use this combined mark, but they may continue using separate UL marks for the United States and Canada.
CE Certification |
The CE symbol placed on a product means that the manufacturer or person placing the product on the market or putting it into service claims that the unit meets all essential requirements of the relevant European Directive within the European Economic Area.


History of mediation
Many believe that mediation has come from the United States, and exemplary prove that this term is mentioned e.g. in 1947 in the context of the regulation of conflicts of the labor union. However, a more detailed examination shows that the term of mediation has been used much earlier in Europe, so at the most, it could have been re-imported recently.
In the final document for the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, it has been written, that the diplomat Fabio Chigi, sent by Pope Urban VIII, has worked successfully for five years as a "peace broker" ("mediator pacis") for five years "... without partiality, hard and sedulously...". Already 30 years ago, in the "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation", the Elector of Saxony, tried to act, with three co-mediators on his side, as a "mediator" between the Bohemian Estates and Habsburg. In the "Danske Lov", a Danish codification of law from the year 1683, you can find the original term as well. In this law, the freedom of the parties for a peaceful conflict solution by "mediation" is mentioned. An additional decree from 1795 contains directives and detailed reasons to carry out mediations instead of court proceedings.

s ratio from XDotsInch and YDotsInch (taking into account that the printer may not have square pixels) and then adjust the width and height parameters accordingly. You then ask for a non-aspect-ratio-corrected dump since you already corrected it yourself.
Another possibility is having the printer device do it for you. To get a correct calculation you could build your RastPort dimensions in two ways:
 1. Using an integer multiple of one of the standard (NTSC) display resolutions and setting the io_Modes argument accordingly. For example if your RastPort dimensions were 1,280*800 (an even multiple of 640*400) you would set io_Modes to LACE | HIRES. Setting the SPECIAL_ASPECT flag would enable the printer device to properly calculate the aspect ratio of the image.
 2. When using an arbitrary sized RastPort, you can supply the ModeID of a display mode which has the aspect ratio you would like for your RastPort. The aspect ratio of the various display modes are defined as ticks-per-pixel in the Resolution field of the DisplayInfo structure. You can obtain this value from the graphics database. For example, the resolution of Productivity Mode is 22:22, in other words, 1:1, perfect for a RastPort sized to the limits of the output device. See Graphics Library for general information on the graphics system.
Demo_Dump.c
The following example will dump a RastPort to the printer and wait for either the printer to finish or the user to cancel the dump and act accordingly.

Article source: Enrico Scaramellini Architetto
It often happens that building can be a time-consuming activity, and it can last more than we expected. During this time, the building is an object under construction without its inhabitants, and it has a partial volume and shape. At high altitudes, where building times are reduced due to seasons, they are often extended and there are long pauses between the different phases. It is indeed during these pauses that the building starts to make contact with the landscape, in a "state of suspension".

2 = d$. We solve for $h1$ by $\sqrt{r1^2 - h1^2} = \sqrt{r2^2 - (d - h1)^2}$ then the total volume is the sum of the volumes of the individual spheres (${4 \pi \over 3}ri^3$) minus the two overcounted "caps" given by $h1$ and $h2 = d - h1$.

Of course this computes lightning fast.

If you are struggling to choose which female honorific is the most appropriate to address the modern woman, be sure that you are not the only one. It is not an easy question.
Below we have detailed an explanation of Mrs., Ms., and Miss that should help you to address ladies correctly.
The three nouns Mrs., Ms., and Miss appeared in the 17th century and come from the female English title Mistress which was used to refer to all women. The full stop of the abbreviations is generally used in the USA and Canada whereas in the UK the abbreviations are commonly written without any full stop.
Ms. is slightly old fashioned compared to the two other titles but has been revived in the 20th century. This English honorific is mostly used in business and public life to address a lady. This is generally used when her marital status is unknown. It is neutral regarding marital status. The plural for Ms. can be Mss. or either Mses.. You may also use the French plural "Mesdames" abbreviated Mmes.
Miss is used to refer to an unmarried woman, or girls under eighteen in some countries. Miss alone is frequently used by schoolchildren to address a female teacher no matter what her marital status is. The plural for Miss is Misses or you may use the traditional French "Mesdemoiselles".
Finally, Mrs. is strictly used to refer to a married woman. For the plural you can use the French plural "Mesdames" abbreviated Mmes like for Ms.
Some women may have a preference for Ms., Miss, or Mrs. and if a woman has a professional title, it is more appropriate to use that title such as Doctor, Professor, or Captain instead of Ms., Miss, or Mrs.
So what is your favorite Mrs., Ms., and Miss?

Hand-Knitted Hats Given to Babies in Honor of American Heart Month
UAB's Women and Infants Center will be spotted wearing knitted red hats, instead of the traditional pink and blue, this February for a good cause during American Heart Month.Babies across
The hats, knitted by volunteers and donated by the American Heart Association of Birmingham, are part of the association's "Little Hats, Big Hearts" initiative to spread awareness about congenital heart disease, as well as how families can lead heart-healthy lives.
Congenital heart disease is a problem present at birth that involves defects of the structures of the heart, its valves or blood vessels. It is the most common type of birth defect, affecting one in 100 babies. Many defects can be detected pre-birth and treated shortly after birth, while others are not diagnosed until childhood or even later in one's adult life as symptoms arise."
About 25 percent of cases of congenital heart disease are considered critical, which means that they will require an intervention early in life," said DeeAnne Jackson, M.D., UAB newborn nursery medical director. "However, most of these cases are now diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound screening or through a simple oxygen test measured on the baby's hand and foot at about 24 hours of age."
For the team in the Women and Infants Center, educating newborns' parents on congenital heart disease is a focus, and they hope the red hats donned by the hospital's littlest patients help spark conversation about the disease and heart-healthy practices can be implemented for children early on.
"We aim to inform patients on ways they can improve the lifelong heart health of their children by practicing and teaching a healthy lifestyle from a very early age," Jackson said. "Whether it's about their child's having a diet that includes a variety of fruits and vegetables or making regular physical activity a fun part of the family's daily routine, we try to be resources and help these families lead their healthiest lives."

MLS to implement concussion substitution initiative
I can't speak specifically to his concussion history, but Elliot Panicco wears the relevant headgear, so. Courtesy Nashville SC?Major League Soccer
From League release:
NEW YORK (Monday, April 5, 2021) – Continuing its role as a leader in prioritizing player safety, Major League Soccer today announced that the league will participate in FIFA's concussion substitute pilot program.
A concussion task force comprised of sporting and medical leaders from MLS, NWSL, U.S. Soccer, the USL, and NISA, have worked collaboratively to implement the initiative and have been approved by The IFAB and FIFA to participate in the trial.
Beginning in 2021, Major League Soccer teams will be allowed to make up to two concussion substitutes during a match to replace players suffering from a concussion or a suspected concussion, regardless of the number of substitutions already used. Providing clubs an additional two concussion substitutes allows teams to make substitutions in the interest of player health and safety, without being placed at a competitive disadvantage.
MLS teams will have the following three types of substitutions available each game:
 - Normal Substitutes: A continuation from 2020, each club hasfive normal substitutes available to make over three separate opportunities. throughout an MLS match. Any substitutions made during halftime, or between regulation and extra time, or between the two halves of extra time in the postseason will not count as one of the three opportunities.
 - Concussion Substitutes: Each team will be permitted to make up to two concussion substitutions only during instances of suspected concussions. A concussion substitution can be made immediately after a concussion occurs or is suspected, after an on-field assessment, and/or off-field assessment, or at any other time when a concussion occurs or is suspected. This includes when a player has previously been assessed and has returned to the field of play.
 - Additional Substitutes : If a team uses a concussion substitution, the opposing team will receive an additional substitution that will be available to use only after all five of its normal substitutions have been made. If a team makes a second concussion substitution, the opponent receives another additional substitution opportunity.
Each club's technical staff will be responsible for designating the substitution type by providing the Fourth Official with the appropriate color substitution card: white for a normal substitution, pink for a concussion substitute, and blue for an additional substitute.
While referees may stop play due to a suspected head injury, the match officials will not be a part of the decision-making process to determine whether a player should or should not be replaced, nor will they determine if a normal substitute or a concussion substitute should be used.
MLS will also continue to utilize the medical spotter program through which trained professionals monitor the match broadcast to identify potential head injuries and possible concussions. Those medical spotters are able to quickly provide video to the Venue Medical Director at the fourth officials table to assist in assessing head injuries and possible concussions.
The IFAB has set an initial 20-month trial period to test the concussion substitutes initiative in competitions around the world through Aug. 31, 2022. During its Annual General Meeting in March 2022, The IFAB will decide whether to extend the trial period or whether to make a decision on implementing concussion substitutes into the Laws of the Game.
Additional information on The IFAB's concussion substitutes trials can be found here.

In the realm of botanical research, the intersection of technology and traditional histological techniques has paved the way for groundbreaking discoveries. One indispensable tool that has revolutionized plant histology is the embedding center. This exploration delves into the pivotal role embedding centers play in botanical research, nurturing precision and providing researchers with insightful glimpses into the intricate world of plant tissues.
Botanical research often involves the delicate study of plant tissues, demanding a level of precision that traditional methods sometimes struggle to achieve. Embedding centers bring a symphony of precision to the process of tissue preservation, ensuring that the intricate structures of plant tissues are captured with unparalleled accuracy. This precision begins with the controlled embedding of plant specimens in specialized mediums, preserving their cellular arrangements and morphological features.
In the intricate dance of botanical structures, from the intricate vascular bundles of leaves to the delicate trichomes on stems, embedding centers excel in maintaining the integrity of these features. By providing a controlled environment and precise embedding parameters, these centers ensure that plant tissues are preserved in a state that faithfully represents their natural form. This precision becomes crucial for researchers aiming to unravel the mysteries of plant anatomy and development.
One of the remarkable contributions of embedding centers to botanical research lies in their ability to produce thin sections of plant tissues. These sections, created with precision and consistency, serve as windows into the intricate world of plant morphology. Researchers can study these embedded sections under a microscope, revealing the nuances of cell types, tissue structures, and developmental patterns with unparalleled clarity.
This insightful exploration into plant morphology extends beyond basic anatomy. Researchers can delve into specific cellular processes, such as cell division and differentiation, gaining a deeper understanding of how plants grow and respond to their environments. The precision in creating embedded sections allows for detailed observations that form the foundation for informed botanical studies and contribute to the broader knowledge of plant biology.
Botanical research encompasses a vast array of plant species, each with its own unique characteristics and challenges. Embedding centers showcase their versatility by offering tailored solutions for studying diverse plant tissues. Whether dealing with soft tissues prone to distortion or rigid structures requiring specialized handling, embedding centers provide researchers with the tools to navigate the intricacies of different plant species.
For example, the delicate nature of flowers and fruits, often challenging to preserve using traditional methods, becomes an area of expertise for embedding centers. These centers allow researchers to capture the beauty and complexity of reproductive structures with precision, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of plant reproduction and development. The versatility of embedding centers becomes a botanical kaleidoscope, enabling researchers to explore the diversity of plant life with a level of detail that was once challenging to achieve.
In conclusion, embedding centers have become indispensable allies in the realm of botanical research, nurturing precision and offering insightful glimpses into the vibrant world of plant histology.

, see Berline, Getzler, Vergne ''Heat kernels and Dirac operators'' (it is in the background chapter 1). There is a Fubini principle for integration over the fibres, which reads:
$$\int_E e(TE) = \int_E e(T_v E) f^{\ast} e (TB) = \int_B (\int_{E/B} e(T_v E)) e (TB).$$
The form $\int_{E/B} e(T_v E)$ is a $0$-form, i.e. a function, and you can test its values by restriction to the fibres. The value is the Euler characteristic of the fibre, by Gauss-Bonnet. Thus
$$ \int_B (\int_{E/B} e(T_v E)) e (TB)= \chi(F) \int_B e(TB)= \chi(F) \chi(B).$$
share|cite|improve this answer
I still don't understand how we pick euler classes on each fiber in a 'continuous' way... what am I missing? – Dylan Wilson Mar 6 '11 at 9:30
Or is the problem avoided by starting with a metric on the total space, restricting it to the fibers, and then 'pushing it down' to the base? – Dylan Wilson Mar 6 '11 at 9:31
Pick a (bundle) metric on $T_v E$. This gives you a definite form on $E$ representing $e(T_v E)$. Then pick a metric on $TB$ and pull it back to $f^{\ast} TB$. Finally, pick a splitting of $TE$, which gives a metric on $TE$. This metric is well-adapted to the problem. – Johannes Ebert Mar 6 '11 at 10:11

Emission Prediction with Detailed Chemistry 2019-01-2215
Numerical modeling of engine combustion products requires detailed chemistry and therefore large computational resources and time. This becomes a constraint when engine optimization at system level is desired. In this paper, a 1D modeling approach is proposed for fast computation to predict emission level at various engine running conditions. A new chemical solver within 1D framework is developed along with suitable reduced chemical mechanism. The reduced reaction scheme is validated against detailed chemistry on 0D and 1D reactors. It is confirmed that the new fast 1D solver achieves more than 100X speed improvement. Now larger mechanisms can be used for better accuracy with reasonable turnaround time. This methodology allows virtual engine emission map generation, with a refined emission map completed within 12 hours of computational time. When a transient response is considered, the critical first 600 seconds of FTP driving cycle is calculated within 1 hour, based on a reduced fast running 1D model.


Description
This section describes how to commit an object from your widget in JavaScript. Tutorials related to this subject can be found here.
Instructions
Create or retrieve the object.
Make sure you have your object in the scope for your function. You can get one by creating a new one or by retrieving it from either context or a mx.processor.getObject() call.
Set the object's attributes.
To change an attribute of an object, you can use setAttribute().
orderObj.setAttribute("ProductName", "Margarita pizza");
Save the object.
Now we'll send the changes to cache and the server using object.save(). This function saves the object in cache and results in an asynchronous call, sending the changes to the server. This function accepts 2 functions, a callback and an error function.
orderObj.save({
 callback : dojo.hitch(this, function (orderObj) {
 this.afterSave(orderObj);
 }, orderObj),
 error : dojo.hitch(this, function (orderObj) {
 logger.error('Could not save object: '+orderObj);
 }, orderObj)
});
Commit the object.
Committing an object from a widget is really simple. All you need is to call the commit() function on the object in question.
You can call it without any arguments to run it as fire & forget.
orderObj.commit();
If you want to execute any code as callback or if an error is returned, you can give it the needed arguments.
orderObj.commit({
callback : dojo.hitch(this, function (orderObj) {
 this.afterCommit(orderObj);
 }, orderObj),
error : dojo.hitch(this, function (orderObj) {
 logger.error('Could not commit object: '+orderObj);
 }, orderObj)
});
If your widget is in a Data view and you are editing the object of the Data view, it will be automatically committed when the form is saved. Use this for any changes to the actual Data view object, as the user might want to cancel their changes without committing the object.

Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big in Japan #3 (2006)
Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big in Japan #4 (2006)
After a giant egg arrived on Earth from space, a being later called the Apocalypse Beast hatched from it. The huge newborn creature found and fed on strange egg-shaped organic material, which somehow reacted with the Beast's system and rendered it unconscious. The Deviants, an offshoot of humanity created by the Celestials, used this opportunity to send the weakened creature into another dimension. Afterwards, they genetically engineered a race of beings known as the Moloids and apparently spliced the organic material into the Moloids' genetic makeup should the Apocalypse Beast return. The Moloids were located on an island (later dubbed Monster Island, linked to Subterranea), where the Deviants left machinery that the Moloids would one day know how to use upon the Beast's return.
Recently, Tokyo Giant Monster Museum and Expo Center curator Dr. Yamane, the son of a cultist who worshipped the beast, began a process to return the Beast to Earth. Many of earth's giant monsters (including Deviant mutates, the ancient dragon Grogg and the Atlantean creature Giganto, as well as the science-created lizard monster Droom) sensed the Beast's impending return and went berserk, rampaging through Tokyo before being stopped by the Fantastic Four and Iron Man (who had been touring the museum). Grogg calmed the rest of the monsters and led them away after Mr. Fantastic promised the heroes would stop the Apocalypse Beast. The heroes and Yamane traveled to the North Pole, where they discovered an organic structure in which Shadow Men from the Kaa dimension prepared for the Beast's arrival. Yamane betrayed the heroes, using himself as a key to let the Beast rip through the dimensional barrier. Emerging from its prison, it destroyed the structure before stepping on Yamane. Fully grown now, the Beast instinctively made its way to Monster Island, crossing the whole of Japan in just a few steps, as it sensed the Moloids' DNA was also infused with part of the monster. As the heroes and the Moloids' human master Mole Man tried to stop the monster, the Moloids stopped serving their usual leader and began to prepare for the Beast's arrival. Mr. Fantastic attempted to decipher ancient Deviant paintings regarding the Beast while Iron Man and Invisible Woman entered the creature's system and battled giant antibodies. Just as Mr. Fantastic realized that Monster Island was effectively designed to replicate the functions of a giant syringe, the Beast arrived at the island. The Moloids and heroes activated the Deviants' long-abandoned machines, and many Moloids injected themselves into the Beast's body. Inside the Moloids attacked the Beast's immune system, killing the Beast and turning its body inside out before being launched into space.
In at least one future reality (Earth-6034), by the year 12425 AD, the Moloids who inhabited the Beast's body used it as a floating planet. They created a new civilization for themselves until they finally depleted the resources found in the Beast's body. With only two Moloids and their newborn son left alive, the parents opted to launch the son, Noah, into space as their world died around them, in order to let him find his own place in the universe.

Is a Messy Room a Sign of Mental Illness?
An messy room can likewise be an indication that you have depression. A few of the standards for a depression analysis — sadness, exhaustion, and absence of focus — would all be able to assume a job in why your messy room is in the express it's in.
Moreover, what does a messy room show? Having an messy room may be the consequence of a great deal of variables. It may mean you are occupied and have brief period to clean and sort out. It may be an indication that you have an excess of stuff. Or on the other hand it may be the consequence of having small children in the house who are generally not roused to tidy up after themselves.
Messy youngsters are a juvenile generalization. Declining to keep their room perfect is regularly a path for teenagers to guarantee their space and proclaim freedom from their folks. In any case, an messy high schooler room can likewise be a side effect of an emotional wellness issue. Now and again, when a young person has a muddled room, depression might be the hidden issue.
According to the research of maid service Raleigh, NC, one out of each five young people experiences depression. Furthermore, sadness carries with it a wide scope of indications.
What's the muddled room–depression interface? Here's the manner by which the indications of sadness can prompt teenager chaos.
Depletion and steady weariness are warnings of wretchedness. These indications leave adolescents with no vitality or inspiration to tidy up their rooms.
Discouraged youngsters regularly keep away from social circumstances. That implies they're investing more energy in their rooms, prompting more jumble.
A feeling of gloom, trouble, and depression regularly accompanies sadness. Accordingly, youngsters may feel that there's no motivation to exhaust exertion to keep their own space flawless and sorted out.
The physical indications of depression incorporate unexplained a throbbing painfulness, migraines, and stomach issues. Teenagers experiencing these issues are probably not going to organize room cleaning.
Making some hard memories concentrating is another manifestation of despondency. This absence of center can make it hard for a young adult to remain focused and get their room cleaned.
Sentiments of disappointment and self-analysis ordinarily go with depression. Consequently, teenagers may feel that they don't have the right to have a perfect, composed room. Living in a messy space may be a subliminal method of rebuffing themselves.
Voraciously consuming food and other upset dietary patterns regularly go with sorrow. On the off chance that adolescents are squatted in their rooms, nibbling late around evening time or for the duration of the day, untidiness is unavoidable.
Studies have indicated that messiness produces tension and can cause individuals to feel discouraged. One investigation of moms living in jumbled homes found that they had higher-than-normal degrees of the pressure hormone cortisol. In this manner, living in a muddled room implies that an adolescent's sensory system is consistently in a condition of second rate battle or-flight.
Exploration utilizing fMRIs (utilitarian attractive reverberation imaging) has discovered that confusion and mess negatively affect the manner in which our cerebrums work. In addition, untidiness additionally impacts our feelings, conduct, connections, and even our dietary patterns. Exploration shows that we're bound to eat low quality nourishment when we live in a turbulent situation.
Thus, clearing mess from our condition causes us concentrate better, process data all the more proficiently, and increment our profitability. Furthermore, cleaning up causes us feel less fractious and occupied, contemplates show. Henceforth, the demonstration of cleaning can help turn around an awful state of mind.

Are Foster Carer's paid:
When a child is placed with a foster carer they will receive a weekly fostering allowance which is intended to cover the costs of looking after a child in foster care, such as clothing, food and pocket money. The amount varies depending on the age of the child.
Foster carers also receive a fee in recognition of their time, skills and experience.
Can single people foster?
Yes. Anyone can apply to foster regardless of whether they are single, married or living with a partner. Also, regardless of whether you have your own children or not, whether you live in your own home or rent, whatever your race, religion or sexuality.
Is there a maximum or minimum age to becoming a foster carer?
Foster Carers must be over 21 years old. There is an expectation that foster carers will have sufficient life experience to enable them to meet the needs of children placed with them, and age can be a factor in this.
There is also no official upper age limit on foster care and many older people make excellent carers, providing they are able to look after a child or young person. They bring a wealth of skills and experience to the task and many young people find it easier to relate to an older person.
How long does it take to become a foster carer?
The time it takes to become a registered foster carer can vary, it takes an average of between 6-12 months.
Can I work as well as being a foster carer?
Yes, if there are 2 registered carers 1 can work or the responsibility can be shared between both if there is enough flexibility. If you are a single carer this is more difficult but it is always worth discussing your situation with someone from the fostering team, who will consider your individual circumstances.

How to Make a Sock Monkey
A sock monkey is an iconic toy that almost every child would love to have. To make this toy even more special for a deserving child, one can make their own using a few simple materials. You do not even need to be a very crafty person to create a beautiful toy.
- 1 pair of knee length socks
- Polyester toy stuffing
- Needle or sewing machine
- Thread (coordinate with the sock color)
- Fabric marking pen
- Buttons (if the monkey is for a young child, consider using embroidery thread)
1. Lay one inside out sock with the heel out flat and facing down. Find the center line of the foot from the toe to about an inch from the heel and mark it. Beginning at the toe, sew a seam 1/4" from the center line up the foot and then back down the other side. Carefully cut up the center line, creating the legs.
2. Turn sock right-side out and stuff the entire sock. Use needle and thread to sew around the neck area. Slightly cinch together to create a neck. Finish stuffing the head and sew the top together.
3. Using the second sock cut out pieces for the arms, mouth, tail and ears. The upper part can be cut into to pieces, seamed and stuffed to form the arms. The mouth is created by cutting off the heel and whip-stitching to the face while adding stuffing for shape. The tail is formed from a 1 inch strip with a rounded end. Seam the edges together and stuff. Cut 4 small ear shapes from the remainder of the sock, seam and stuff.
4. Attach the arms, tail and ears to the body. Sew on buttons for the eyes. Because small buttons can be a choking hazard for little children, consider using embroidery thread to stitch eyes when the toy is for a child under the age of 3. A smile can also be embroidered on the mouth.
5. A small hat can be made for the monkey using the toe of the second sock. Simply roll up the cut edge to create a small brim and tack to the monkey's head using a few small stitches.
If you would rather use the original red heel socks that most sock monkeys are made from, just do a Google search for "sock monkey socks" and you will find them.

Abstract— To determine an action spectrum for ultaviolet (UV)-induced elastosis, four groups of 24 albino hairless mice each were exposed to four different spectra emitted by a xenon are solar simulator fitted with cut-off filters (Schott WG 320, 335, 345, and 360). These filters progressively removed more of the shorter wavelengths until, in the final spectrum, only long wavelength UVA (> 335 nm) remained. Exposures continued up to 62 weeks. A fifth group of mice served as controls. Skin biopsies were taken at pre-determined dose points and were processed for light microscopy. Elastosis was quantified by computerized image analysis, yielding dose-response curves for each spectrum. The total energy required for a 50% increase in elastic tissue compared to controls was determined graphically for each spectrum. These were: WG 320, 65 J/cm2; WG 335, 865 J/cm2; WG 345, 1230 J/cm2; and WG 360, 2000 J/cm2. Our results were tested against published action spectra for erythema, photocarcinogenesis and elastosis. The erythema spectrum was the most predictive for elastosis except that the longer UVA wavelengths were less effective for elastosis than for erythema. Solar simulating radiation (WG 320 filter) with its UVB component was the most effective in inducing elastosis. Full spectrum UVA (WG 345) required 20 times more energy while long wavelength UVA (WG 360) required 30 times more energy to induce equivalent elastosis.

Adad was the god of weather in the Babylonian and Assyrian cultures of Mesopotamia * in the ancient Near East. Other cultures in the region called the god Ishkur, Rimmon, Addu, Hadad, or Baal-Hadad.
The son of the sky god Anu, Adad was believed to control storms and rain. He was often portrayed as a warrior holding a forked lightning bolt or a club, and his animal was the bull, whose bellowing and roar were like the sound of thunder.
Like the weather itself, Adad had two sides—one beneficial and the other destructive. As the bringer of rain, Adad was hailed as the Lord of Abundance whose gift made the land fertile and nourished crops. People in many arid Mesopotamian lands worshiped him for this reason. As the bringer of drought or fearful storms, however, Adad could strike his enemies with famine, flood, darkness, and death.

Gender and health equity interventions in poor regions of China and India: a comparison
Date: Wednesday 31 October 10.45–12.15
The Gender and Health Equity Network (GHEN), an international partnership of individuals and institutions, has been working over the last six years to demonstrate through applied research the importance of taking gender equity into account in health policy and programming. Two of its major case studies are in very poor districts in China and India.
The objectives of these action-research studies are to use research to: 1) improve policy implementation with respect to gender and health equity in contexts of high or persisting poverty and inequality; and 2) enable communities, and particularly poor women and adolescents, to exercise their rights to good health. The projects are being implemented in contexts where policy commitments to health equity exist, but also where there are difficulties in translating those macro-level commitments into programmes of work at lower levels of government, or practical action on the ground. In particular, using research to support awareness building or capacity strengthening provides both opportunities and challenges within the contexts of poverty and inequality in which the project is working in the two countries. These have significant implications for policy learning and programming scale-up.
This presentation will explore the lessons being learnt through comparison of the tangible, on-the-ground experiences of working on these issues in China and India. Similarities in levels of poverty and inequality are counterposed with differences in the political, policy and knowledge generation/research contexts of health interventions. Comparative analysis of research and implementation lessons in two such similar, yet very different, locales provides a rich basis for mining the lessons learnt from working in such contexts.

 1. IEEE 1394
 The IEEE 1394 interface is a serial bus interface standard for high-speed communications and isochronous real-time data transfer. It was developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s by Apple, who called it FireWire. The 1394 interface is comparable to USB, and often those two technologies are considered together, though USB has more market share. Apple first included FireWire in some of its 1999 models, and most Apple computers since the year 2000 have included FireWire ports, though, as of 2013, nothing beyond the 800 version. The interface is also known by the brand i.LINK, and Lynx. IEEE 1394 replaced parallel SCSI in many applications, because of lower implementation costs and a simplified, more adaptable cabling system. The 1394 standard also defines a backplane interface, though this is not as widely used. IEEE 1394 is the High-Definition Audio-Video Network Alliance standard connection interface for A/V component communication and control. FireWire is also available in wireless, fiber optic, and coaxial versions using the isochronous protocols.

The intersection of ethics and communication in prenatal imaging: challenges for the pediatric radiologist
- 232 Downloads
Pediatric radiologists who practice prenatal imaging are often at the front lines of communication with pregnant patients and their partners. The communication process is particularly complex when a fetal abnormality is diagnosed. Regardless of whether the information is completely new and unexpected, or the patient is referred for tertiary imaging and counseling, few pediatric radiologists are trained specifically in the communication skills necessary to provide optimal care to the prospective parents. This paper reviews current literature regarding communication with patients about unexpected or difficult information, and illustrates key clinical and ethical features that make conversations with pregnant patients particularly challenging in the setting of fetal abnormalities.

One way to execute a Python script using a Chrome extension is to use Native Messaging. This allows the Chrome extension to communicate with a native application, such as a Python script.
Here are the high-level steps to use Native Messaging to execute a Python script:
 1. Create a Python script that performs the desired task.
 2. Create a native application (e.g., a compiled executable) that can be run from Chrome. This application will launch the Python script and communicate with the Chrome extension.
 3. Create a manifest.json file for the Chrome extension that specifies the native messaging host and the allowed Chrome URLS for the extension.
 4. In the Chrome extension code, use the chrome.runtime.sendNativeMessage() method to send messages to the native application and receive responses.
 5. Start the native application and load the unpacked extension in Chrome.
 6. Test the extension and ensure that the Python script is executed as expected.
It's worth noting that using Native Messaging with a Python script requires some level of programming knowledge and experience. However, there are also libraries and resources available to help simplify the process.

RF Detector Flatness vs. Frequency

Question: How can I figure out the output flatness vs. frequency of an RF Detector such as the AD8363

Answer:
Using the Slope and Intercept specs it is possible to get a sense for and RF Detector's flatness vs frequency. Let's take the example of the AD8363. Let's consider the easy-to-calculate case where the input power is equal to 0 dBm. The general equation for the output voltage of a linear-in-dB RF Detector is:

Vout = Slope x (Pin – Intercept)

So for Pin = 0 dBm, this reduces to
Vout = - Slope x Intercept

Using the published slope and intercept specs of AD8363, we get

100 MHz Vout = 2.99 V
900 MHz Vout = 3.0044 V
1.9 GHz Vout = 2.86 V
2.14 GHz Vout = 2.8188 V
2.6 GHz Vout = 2.5921

Since the slope of the AD8363 is around 52 mV/dB, this corresponds to a variation vs frequency (over this freq range) of approximately 8 dB.

On a newer device ADL5511 whose output voltage is linear in V/V, we have measured the variation and found it to be much smaller. In this case, we see that the device is quite flat up to around 4 GHz. The trade off with this device (compared to AD8363 or AD8318) is that it has less range (47 dB). For more information on this, take a look at Figures 57 and 58 in the Rev. A Datasheet.

The plot below shows the relative errors of various RF Detectors vs. frequency after they have been calibrated at a single frequency. Unsurprisingly, the ADL5511 that was referenced above has the flattest overall performance (this plot has the brown tick marks in the plot). This device also has another advantage in applications where RF power needs to be measured over a wide frequency range. Many of ADI's RF Detectors have external temperature compensation nodes. These inputs allow for the temperature drift of the device (which can vary with frequeny) to be compensated. Since the drift can vary with frequency, the required compensation voltage will also vary. In the case of the ADL5511 RF Detector, no external temperature compensation is required.

A study of the causes of teacher attrition in regular and special education in Wisconsin
The purpose of this study was twofold. First, the study was undertaken to determine an accurate picture of teacher attrition in Wisconsin based on information from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction's (DPI) data base. Secondly, the study sought to discover causes of teacher attrition in Wisconsin and to determine whether special education and regular education teachers left for similar reasons. The study determined attrition rates of regular and special education teachers over a three year period (_PHONE_) using the DPI data base. A survey was then sent to a random sample of 400 teachers (100 regular education teachers and 100 special education teachers who remained in teaching; 100 regular education teachers and 100 special education teachers who left teaching). Principal components analysis and Alpha factoring was used to reduce the 37 variables included in the survey to thirteen factors. On the basis of these factors, discriminant analysis was used to determine whether accurate predictions could be made as to whether a teacher left or remained in teaching. This research considered several hypotheses about teacher attrition. The first nine hypotheses differences in attrition rates of special and regular education teachers, teachers with emergency or full certification, teachers in rural and urban areas, teachers certified at the elementary, middle school, or secondary levels, teacher age, teachers certified in each subject area, teachers with graduate or undergraduate training, experienced and non-experienced regular education teachers, and special education teachers with and without regular education experience. These hypotheses were tested using data from the DPI data base and the survey. Other hypotheses dealt with conditions of the teaching profession such as salary; administrative, parental, and professional support; recognition of and feedback on job performance; vacation time; duties required outside of the classroom; opportunity to work on curriculum development; and autonomy. These hypotheses were tested using the results of the survey. Findings indicated significantly higher attrition rates for special education teachers, teachers on emergency certification, teachers under the age of 35, teachers at the secondary level, music and foreign language teachers, teachers with undergraduate training, and regular education teachers with less than six years experience.

Why Soapstone Griddles Are So Effective
soapstone griddlesSparq's founders LOVE to grill, and you can imagine our dismay when discovered that grilling over an open flame carries HUGE risks of cancer. There is staggering research that finds; Grilling meat directly over an open flame can increase your risk of CANCER by 50% – 70%. We love grilling too much AND our health too much to accept this type of risk. Enter Soapstone Griddle, over the last 3 years we did our homework and came up with a product that would afford us the best of both worlds, our health, and our grill.
Did you know the lifestyle factors of diet and tobacco-use together account for approximately 70% of all human cancer, with diet by itself accounting for 35%-45% of human cancer (Goodherham et al., 1996)? In other words, approximately 80,000 per one million people are estimated to get cancer from diet-related causes.
Points we found in our research to reduce the risk of cancer from grilled foods;
 1. The American Cancer Society recommends avoiding fat dripping onto the hot coals or open flame which causes smoke and flare-ups that can contain carcinogens.
 2. The National Cancer Institute recommends avoiding direct exposure of meat to an open flame or a hot metal surface which causes charring and carcinogen mutation.
 3. The NCI also recommends avoiding prolonged cooking of meat at high temperatures (over 300ºF).
 4. Research published by MSNBC and other science journals recommend using a homemade marinade (avoid thick commercially available marinades).
Features we built into our Soapstone Griddle;
 1. Using the best griddle will remove your meat from an open flame or a hot metal surface (As recommended by the National Cancer Institute).
 2. Using our Soapstone Griddle will prevent flare-ups from dripping fat (As recommended by the American Cancer Society).
 3. Soapstone's temperature qualities allow you to cook at lower temperatures and achieve the same results in the same amount of time (As recommended by the National Cancer Institute).
 4. Our Soapstone Griddle's groove design will naturally self-baste creating a moist, organic marinade while melting away unwanted fat (As recommended by science journals and reported by major news outlets).

Why Soapstone Griddle?
Soapstone Griddles are carved out of the finest soapstone that the earth has to offer. For centuries soapstone has been used for its ability to retain and radiate heat for long periods of time. Native Americans used it for cooking slabs, pipes, and bowls.
To this day it is the material of choice for wood burning stoves and masonry heaters. Brazilians use soapstone cookware for all their culinary needs. In the United States, it is mostly used for countertops in high-end homes, as well as in laboratories. Soapstone is nonporous and is ideal for use around food because it will not harbor bacteria, stain and it will not rust.
We Need To Avoid Dangerous Cookware, See What Say The Experts!
Give Your Grill an Upgrade
Whatever grill you might have, a Soapstone Griddle will make it better, period. Find out what many cultures have known for centuries, that soapstone is one of Mother Nature's greatest cooking tools. It will change the way you grill.
By using soapstone's ability to heat evenly and consistently, you can turn any ordinary grilling experience into a phenomenal one. Our Soapstone Griddles are specially designed to harness soapstone's unique cooking capabilities. Soapstone does not have any sort of taste and will, therefore, not add any unwanted flavors to meats or vegetables. It is also non-porous, which makes it ideal for use around food, as it is resistant to harboring bacteria.
*** The stone protects your food against hot spots and flare-ups, while still allowing that smoky BBQ flavor to access your food. It also reduces cancer-causing carcinogens produced in a normal grilling environment.
Special and Effective Soapstone Design
The ridges on the stone raise the meat slightly above the cooking surface and allow it to brown by preventing escaping juices from contacting the meat. They also leave grill marks, which is the signature of any well-cooked steak.
The troughs are designed to collect the juicy drippings so that they may be recycled into a moist and flavorful environment that will continually baste your meat in its own juices while melting away any unwanted fats. Our slabs have been fire tested to 1200°F so you can sear a steak at exceptional temperatures, or cook ribs low and slow until the meat falls off the bone. We have no doubt that you will soon feel like we do and even a good steak house will lose its appeal.
Your Soapstone Griddle was also designed for use in direct conjunction with pellet grills. The ability of the soapstone to store and radiate heat will enable the pellet cooker to maintain a constant temperature in varying conditions, thus reducing the number of pellets that need to be burned to maintain the desired temperature.
Better yet, it keeps the heat right next to the food, which is where it is needed. The soapstone will enable the grill to return to the desired temperature much quicker if the lid has to be opened and will cut down on heat loss. This is not only a savings of our natural resources and environment, but it is also a considerable saving passed on to you, the consumer.
It also serves as a heat deflector in pellet grills, charcoal grills, and gas grills. By placing the Grill Slab directly over the flame it will absorb the heat and radiate it evenly throughout the grill thus eliminating hot and cold spots. It will also keep the direct flame from drying out the meat. The end result is juicier, tender meat that is evenly cooked.
You can also turn it over and use the flat surface to cook fish or vegetables. By placing it upside down over a range stove you can use it as a griddle. The possibilities become endless when you start thinking about it. So give your imagination the Sparq that it needs. Your taste buds will thank you.

text: REND LAKE, Ill. (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says Rend Lake in southern Illinois was crucial to alleviate flooding on the Big Muddy River and Casey Fork River when water levels rose in recent weeks. Rend Lake is the state's second largest man-made lake. The Army Corps of Engineers says the lake was built primarily as a drinking water source and to provide downstream flood reduction. Corps park ranger Cassie Magsig tells The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan that water rushing through the lake gets held back, and the rush gets slowed. Gov. Bruce Rauner issued disaster declarations for more than 20 counties in Illinois after flooding in the last month. The lake was completed in the 1970s and supplies water to more than 60 communities in 10 counties.
