The Lab is where the New European Bauhaus is implemented in concrete and tangible projects. It is about what we can achieve when we work together in a spirit of openness and trust. It focuses on connecting people, learning from each other and tapping into everyone's experience.
NEB Lab projects manifest the New European Bauhaus into concrete actions with two missions:
- to create enabling conditions for the green transition, such as new tools, frameworks, policy recommendations, etc.
- to trigger tangible transformation on the ground
What does the NEB Lab do?
The NEB Lab is a project-based structure where teams self-organise to achieve tangible change in a specific place or context.
The New European Bauhaus Community and EU institutions autonomously develop projects proposals for the NEB Lab. Proposals become NEB Lab projects following a process that ensures a clear purpose, transparency towards the community, and well-defined beneficiaries.
The NEB Lab:
- Ensures coherence across projects and alignment with the New European Bauhaus principles.
- Supports project development by challenging proposals, connecting projects with the community and institutions for additional support, and bridging local action with the European and international dimension.
- Offers projects space on a dedicated online platform, mentoring and communication support.
The NEB Lab does not provide funding for projects, however project teams can consider support and financing options, e.g. support in kind, EU, national, regional or local public funding, sponsorship.
What are the key characteristics of NEB Lab projects?
NEB Lab projects are developed autonomously by a team of project coordinators and may receive support from several entities beyond the official New European Bauhaus Community. They count on independent experts and are expected to deliver change on the ground.
NEB Lab projects:
- Create or replicate beautiful, sustainable, inclusive places, products or experiences or enable initiatives to achieve that.
- Provide results that are practical and replicable.
- Are change processes that benefit communities and ecosystems.
- Are based on international and cross-sectoral partnerships.
- Inform the policy-making processes with their outputs, outcomes, and learnings.
- Offer open-source learning opportunities for Community members.
- Use participatory design methods and tools and draw on cross-disciplinary competences.
What is the relationship between the NEB Lab and the New European Bauhaus Community?
The New European Bauhaus community includes:
- the initiative's official partners
- the members of the High-Level Round Table
- the national contact points
- the New European Bauhaus prize winners and finalists
- the beneficiaries of New European Bauhaus calls
- the initiative's friends
- members of the European Commission
The Community is broader than the NEB Lab, but there is a link between the two.
Non-profit organisations can join the Community by becoming New European Bauhaus partners. Official partners undergo a screening process and are the only entities that can jointly propose projects for the NEB Lab. The New European Bauhaus team supports the maturing of emerging projects and validates the ones ready to become part of the NEB Lab.
For-profit organisations, companies, and public or political entities, such as regions, cities and villages, can also join the Community by becoming friends of the initiative. Friends of the New European Bauhaus can recommend NEB Lab activities to partners and support them in several ways, for example by implementing a projects in a region.


Overview: After playing the Middle Ages Time Machine Adventure at activehistory.co.uk, Sidney wrote a complaint letter to the Time Travel Holiday Agent about her experiences. One half of the class wrote similar complaint letters focusing on the negative dimension; the other half wrote travel brochures focusing on the positive experiences!
Examples: This approach can work for any period or topic that has positive and negative sides to it.
Taking it further: Students could be paired together to produce a dramatised dialogue – the holidaymaker could storm into the travel agent demanding a refund by explaining the things which had gone wrong, whilst the travel agent would stress all the positive experiences which are either being omitted in the account or which provide a more rounded view of the situation / period in question.

I'm currently trying to learn Mathematica, and I've got some linear algebra tasks to solve with it. I've gotten quite far but now I'm stuck on this one exercise. The instructions are:
With the help of Mathematica-commands, draw a new picture, where you can see the orthogonal projection of the vector onto the plane. It should look something like this: enter image description here
Now, I started out by drawing the vector in the 3D plane with this code:
Graphics3D [ { Thick , Arrow [ { { 0 , 0 , 0} , { 1 , −1 , 2 } } ] ,
InfinitePlane [ { { 1 , 0 , 0} , { 1 , 1 , 1} , { 0 , 0 , 1 } } ] } ,
Axes -> True , AxesLabel -> { "X" , "Y" , "Z" } ]
This gave me the 3D image in the picture above, without the projection (the dashed line) obviously. But now I'm stuck, and my question is, how would I get the orthogonal projection of the vector?
Thanks in advance.
$\endgroup$

 - $\begingroup$ Maybe it will help you to know the normal of the plane? You can obtain it by plane = InfinitePlane[{{1, 0, 0}, {1, 1, 1}, {0, 0, 1}}]; Normalize[ Cross[plane[[1, 2]] - plane[[1, 1]], plane[[1, 3]] - plane[[1, 1]]]]. $\endgroup$ Jan 1 '19 at 16:17
 - $\begingroup$ Sadly enough, that doesn't work for me. The result comes back saying "Part specification plane is longer than depth of the object." $\endgroup$

 Jan 1 '19 at 17:03
 - $\begingroup$ Hm. Weird. Did you really execute all code I posted? $\endgroup$ Jan 1 '19 at 17:07
 - $\begingroup$ Ah, nevermind. I got it to work now. This gave me three normals, which all had the value of 1/Sqrt[3]. How do I proceed from here? $\endgroup$
 – wznd
 Jan 1 '19 at 17:15
 - $\begingroup$ No, it gave you one normal vector. Let's call it v. The projector onto the place described by the plane is IdentityMatrix[3] - KroneckerProduct[v,v]. It is now only a matter of a suitable translation... $\endgroup$ Jan 1 '19 at 17:22

Try this version
p0 = {0, 0, 0};
p1 = {1, -1, 2};
p2 = {1, 0, 0};
p3 = {1, 1, 1};
p4 = {0, 0, 1};
gr1 = Graphics3D[{Thick, Arrow[{p0, p1}],InfinitePlane[{p2,p3,p4}]},Axes -> True, AxesLabel-> {"X", "Y","Z"}];
v = p1 - p0;
n1 = p2 - p3;
n2 = p3 - p4;
n = Cross[n1, n2];
pl = p0;
pp = p2;
equs = Thread[pl + lambda v == pp + mu n1 + nu n2];
sol = Solve[equs, {lambda, mu, nu}][[1]];
pb = p0 + lambda v /. sol;
vern = n/Norm[n];
prjn = (v.vern) vern;
prjP = v - prjn;
gr2 = Graphics3D[{Thick, Dashed, Red, Arrow[{pb, prjP + pb}]}];
gr3 = Graphics3D[{Thick, Green, Arrow[{pb, prjn}]}];
Show[gr1, gr2, gr3]
enter image description here
In green the component along the normal to the plane and in dashed red the projection onto the plane.
NOTE
The line segment $\mu p_0+(1-\mu)p_1$ for $0 \le \mu \le 1$ is supported by the line $L\to p_l + \lambda (p_1-p_0) = p_l + \lambda \vec v$. The plane containing the three points $p_2,p_3,p_4$ can be defined as $\Pi\to p_p+\mu(p_2-p_3)+\nu(p_3-p_4) = p_p + \mu\vec n_1+\nu\vec n_2$ The intersection point $p_b = L\cap\Pi$ is obtained by solving for $(\lambda^*,\mu^*,\nu^*)$ the linear system $p_l + \lambda \vec v = p_p + \mu\vec n_1+\nu\vec n_2$ and then $p_b = p_l+\lambda^* \vec v$ The plane normal is obtained as $\vec n = \vec n_1\times\vec n_2$ and the $\vec v$ component regarding $\vec n$ is obtained as $ \vec v_{\vec n} = \left(\vec v\cdot\frac{\vec n}{|\vec n|}\right)\frac{\vec n}{|\vec n|}$ and finally $\vec v_{\Pi} = \vec v-\vec v_{\vec n}$
$\endgroup$

 - $\begingroup$ Thank you for the answer! Let's see if I get the steps right. First you get the normal to the plane by taking the cross-product between n1 and n2. But here's where I kind of get lost. What does the following functions mean? Do you think you could explain the next couple of lines for me? I could just post this, but I want to understand aswell. Thank you very much. $\endgroup$

 Jan 2 '19 at 15:54
 - $\begingroup$ Thank you for that. Now all I'm wondering is three lines of code, that I can't seem to understand, even with your great explanation. I'll post a picture with the lines of code that I don't understand. I don't know if it's to much to ask, but if it would be possible for you to explain the functions in words, or a bit simpler to a math novice like me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Here's the section that I don't really understand: gyazo.com/707fd1863efd810e6ea58f295651d5ef $\endgroup$

 Jan 2 '19 at 16:03
 - $\begingroup$ @wznd Removing the semicolon at the end of the command facilitates the understanding. $\endgroup$
 – Cesareo
 Jan 2 '19 at 16:57
 - $\begingroup$ Yeah, I did that initially and it help somewhat. But I'm still unsure about what the equs, solve and prjn variables specifically mean/do. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$
The code in Cesareo's answer can be shortened slightly.
Using the same set of initial points as in the other answer:
p0 = {0, 0, 0}; p1 = {1, -1, 2}; p2 = {1, 0, 0}; p3 = {1, 1, 1}; p4 = {0, 0, 1};
Some intermediate vectors:
d = p1 - p0;
nrm = Cross[p2 - p3, p3 - p4];
Use RegionIntersection[] to find the point of intersection:
pin = First[RegionIntersection[InfinitePlane[{p2, p3, p4}], InfiniteLine[{p0, p1}]]]
 {1/4, -1/4, 1/2}
From there:
Graphics3D[{Arrow[Tube[{p0, p1}]], {Opacity[2/3], InfinitePlane[{p2, p3, p4}]},
 {Green, Arrow[Tube[{pin, pin + Normalize[nrm]}]]},
 {Red, Arrow[Tube[{pin, pin + d - Projection[d, nrm]}]]},

Have you ever found yourself in the situation where you want to send someone a Twitter message but you can't remember their Twitter username although you do know their real name? Or where you can remember their twitter username or their real name, but you do remember who they work for, or some other biographical fact about them that might appear in their Twitter biography? If that sounds familiar, here's a trick that may help…
… a searchable Twitter friends and followers contact list in Google Spreadsheets.
It's based on Martin Hawksey's rather wonderful Export Twitter Followers and Friends using a Google Spreadsheet (I have to admit – Martin has left me way behind now when it comes to tinkering with Google Apps Script…!) To get started, you'll need a Google docs account, and then have to indulge in a quick secret handshake between Google docs and Twitter, but Martin's instruction sheet is a joy to follow:-) Follow the *** Google Spreadsheet to Export Twitter Friends and Followers *** link on Martin's page, then come back here once you've archived your Twitter friends and/or followers…
..done that? Here's how to make the contact list searchable… I thought it should have been trivial, but it turned out to be quite involved!
The first thing I did was create a drop down list to let the user select Friends or Followers as the target of the search. (Martin's application loads friends and followers into different sheets.)
The next step was to generate a query. To search for a particular term on a specified sheet we can use a QUERY formula that takes the following form:
=query(Friends!B:E,"select B,C,D,E where D contains 'JISC'")
Friends! specifies the sheet we want to search over; B:E says we want to pull columns B, C, D and E from the Friends sheet into the current sheet; the select statement will display results over four columns (B, C, D and E) from Friends for rows where the entry in column D contains the search term JISC.
To pull in the search term from cell D1 we can use a query of the form:
=query(Friends!B:E,concatenate("select B,C,D,E where D contains '",D1,"'"))
The =concatenate formula constructs the search query. Make sure you use the right sort of quotes when constructing the string – Google Spreadsheets seems to prefer the use of double quotes wherever possible!
To search over two columns, (for example, the real name and the description columns of the twitter friends/follower data) we can use a query of the form:
=query(Followers!B:E,concatenate("select B,C,D,E where C contains '",D1,"' or D contains '",D1,"'")
Again – watch out for the quotes – the result we want from the concatenation is something like:
=query(Followers!B:E,concatenate("select B,C,D,E where C contains 'Jisc' or D contains 'Jisc')
so we have to explicitly code in the single quote in the concatenation formula.
Unfortunately, the query formula is case sensitive, which can cause the search to fail because we haven't taken (mis)use of case into account in our search term. This means we need to go defensive in the query formulation – in the following example, I force everything to upper case – search corpus as well as search terms:
=query(Followers!B:E,concatenate("select B,C,D,E where upper(C) contains upper('",D1,"') or upper(D) contains upper('",D1,"')")
The final step is to define the sheet we want to search – Friends! or Followers! – depending on the setting of cell B1 in our search sheet. I had idly though I could use a concatenate formula to create this, but concatenate returns a string and we need to define a range. In the end, the workaround I adopted was an if statement, that chooses a query with an appropriate range set explicitly/hardwired within the formula depending on whether we are are searching Friends or Followers. Here's the complete formula, which i put into cell E1.
=if(B1="Friends",query(Friends!B:E,concatenate("select B,C,D,E where upper(C) contains upper('",D1,"') or upper(D) contains upper('",D1,"')")),query(Followers!B:E,concatenate("select B,C,D,E where upper(C) contains upper('",D1,"') or upper(D) contains upper('",D1,"')")))
I now have a query sheet defined that allows me to search over my friends or followers, as required, according to their real name or a search term that appears in their biography description.

1. Intro: Hi, I'm Tiffany. I'm a small business owner, creative entrepreneur, and seven figure Etsy seller. In this class, I'll help you to bypass the number one mistake I see most new shop owners make. Not just open your shop, but instead launch your Etsy shop in each of your Etsy listings to their fullest potential. Etsy as a marketplace provides an incredible opportunity to launch a business. When I started my business, I was a new mom working my day job full-time and working on my Etsy shop in the market creating digital nursery artwork. I had no idea the power of this platform, but it has completely changed my life. There are so many items you can sell on Etsy, everything from handmade ceramics, jewelry, personalized items, vintage items, praecipes, even digital downloads, and so much more. I know that right now is non-pristine time so many people who need to pivot into a new career or extended online arm for their business. Or maybe they have this amazing skill, but they just didn't know how to leverage it into a business and have no idea where to start. Whether you're a maker, an artist, designer, or illustrator, there's plenty of room for you on Etsy. Etsy can be the perfect launching ground for a new business. As a seasoned seller, I'm going to teach you exactly where I would focus today in opening a shop or publishing a new listing. I'll break down what matters most when it comes to getting sales on Etsy, and that is engagement. What is it and how do we get it? I'll share my six rules of Etsy engagement and teach you how to engage with the human shoppers who are trying to find you and me, Etsy machine that will bring them right to your virtual front door. Then come look over my shoulders as I actually opened a shop and follow along with my punch list of items to get it done in your pre-launch workbook. It's your dream to work for yourself, make your own hours and spend more time with your family. While creating what you love, Etsy offers you an enormous opportunity to launch the career of your dreams as a creative entrepreneur. If not now, then when? I believe in you and I'm here to show you how to put your best foot forward into the extraordinary empty marketplace. Come along with me, let me take you by the hand and let's launch an Etsy shop. 2. Welcome: Welcome to the class. My name is Tiffany Emery, and I'm a full-time Etsy seller, and have been selling on Etsy for the last six years through my shop, Adorn Studio. I am so thrilled that you're here. You've made a really important decision, getting educated about Etsy, and that's going to pay off for you in the long run. But before we get started, I did want to be sure to draw your attention to the projects and resources tab where you'll find your pre-launch workbook. This workbook is going to be your class project, that you'll be working through as you prepare to launch your Etsy shop. Now, we do have some work ahead of us, but don't let that sway you from digging in and getting started. I want to share with you the number one mistake that most new shop owners make, to encourage you as you prepare for your launch. What most of new shop owners do, is they basically have no idea how to launch a shop. The path that they usually take, is to gradually open their shop. They figure out their shop name and, then they open their shop. They wait a little while, and then decide to start working on a listing. Then they come up against listing items that they aren't familiar with, or maybe they just don't understand the importance of them. They half fill out a listing. Maybe they have some good photos, or maybe not, but they figured they can upload what they have, and then come back and keep working on their photos later. They usually have no idea what SEO is, which we'll cover in this course. That's completely left out, and then they publish their listing. Then after some time passes, they realize that their shop isn't doing so well. They'll do some research and figure out that they needed to work on their photography. To do that for a little bit, or they needed to optimize [inaudible] for the Etsy search engine so they work on that for a little bit, and little by little, by little, they gradually open the full door to their Etsy shop. Friends, this is a huge mistake. There are a number of reasons why you shouldn't gradually open your shop, and instead launch your shop strong and fully optimized. I'm going to explain them to you throughout this course. But just note that your pre-launch workbook will take you some time, and that's okay. In fact, it's a good thing. It's going to give you an edge over what most sellers do incorrectly. Just remember, it's not a race, it's a strategic launch. You need to prepare to fully throw the doors of your shop open, and launch for the highest probability of success on Etsy. Your pre-launch book is designed to walk you step-by-step through how to prepare for your launch. You'll be ready to launch your shop, and your first listing when you've completed all six sections of the workbook for at least one listing. You'll work through your workbook for each listing that you launch. The workbook includes the following sections: Section 1, Market Research; Section 2, Branding Basics; Section 3, Photography; Section 4, Descriptions; Section 5, Pricing and Shipping Structures; and Section 6, SEO Basics. Once you've completed all the items in your workbook, you're ready to launch your shop. In the last two lessons of this class, I'll walk you through exactly how to do that. So take your time and get it right for the highest payoff possible for all of your hard work. Now let's get started. 3. The Extraordinary Etsy Marketplace: In this lesson, I want to talk about what sets Etsy apart as a marketplace, because it's truly an extraordinary place to sell. Etsy touts itself as a global marketplace and community of sellers empowered to make a living doing what they love, while allowing buyers to find the unique items that

What are 4 channel paperless recorders?
The paperless records collect data/calculated data in the internal storage system of the instrument on the basis of time, without consuming any commonly used recording facilities, such as paper, pen and ink. The stored data recorded in the instrument is displayed on the LCD screen after calculation and simulation. Paperless graphic recorder has many formats to display the data, such as, value display, bar graph display, curve display, history, alarm list, etc. The digital paperless recorder can accept universal signal inputs, such as the flow signal of the flow meter (4-20mA or frequency), the pressure signal of the pressure transmitter, the temperature signal of the thermal resistance (RTD) and the thermocouple, etc.
Signal types can be accepted by the 4 channels paperless graphic recorder
The data collected by paperless recorders can be: temperature, pressure, flow, liquid level, voltage, current, humidity, frequency, vibration, speed, etc.
It can accept current 4-20mA or 10 mA, 1-5V voltage, 0-5V voltage, 0-10V voltage, 20mV voltage, 100mV voltage, 100Ω resistance, PT100, Cu50, Cu53, thermocouple S, thermocouple R, thermocouple B, thermocouple K, thermocouple J, thermocouple E, thermocouple N, frequency,etc.

- PostGaian subtype: Old Gaian Worlds that are losing their biosphere and hydrosphere More information here.
SUPER-TERRESTRIAL CLASS: worlds that are moderately massive, intermediate in mass between Terrestrial worlds and Gas Giants More details here.
This class of worlds is both numerous and varied; most types of terrestrial worlds also exist as superterrestial types, but with higher gravity and greater mass which can profoundly affect the conditions on the surface.
Among the most common types of superterrestrial are SuperHermian, SuperCytherian and SuperGaian types, as well as the more unusual types listed below.
- Pyrothalassic Type: Hot superterrestrials More information here
- Pyrohydrothallasic Type - Hot waterworlds More information here
- Panthalassic Type: Giant Waterworlds More information here
- Nebulous Type: Superterrestrials with thick, helium-rich atmospheres. Helium worlds of this kind often have superrotating atmospheres; those which are tidally locked often have wildly assymetric weather patterns.
- Gas Dwarfs. Example Kepler 11b
- Other types of superterrestrial planets include certain hyperbarian and chthonian worlds, some of which have very sparse atmospheres indeed.

Gas Giants (also known collectively as Jovian worlds) form beyond the snow line, and have very large fluid envelopes compared to their cores. Some rare, and very ancient gas giants formed around the first generation of very low metallicity stars and have almost no rocky or metallic component. Gas giants are classified in two waysby temperature, which affects the composition of the cloud layers of the giant in a number of significant ways, and by mass. Examples of each of the temperature classes can be found in any of the size classes, and vice versa, although some size classes are more common at certain temperatures and vice versa.
A typical gas giant may be classified using both size and temperature types to create a subtype, so the full classification might be Meso-EuJovian Subtype(This is the full classification for Jupiter) or Super-HyperthermalJovian Subtype (the full classification for Behemoth, Hat-P-1B).
Gas Giant Size Classes
Neptunian Class: 0.03 to 0.2 Jupiter masses
- MicroJovian Type Small gas giants, with minimal solid core. More information Here.
- SubJovian Type Medium sized gas giants, 0.08 to 0.2 Jupiter Masses. Many worlds of this type are outer system cryojovian worlds like Neptune and Uranus. More information here.
- Hot Neptunes - a numerous class of world, which may be MicroJovian or Subjovian in mass, and EpiStellar or Hyperthermal in temperature More information here.
Jovian Class: 0.2 to 13.0 Jupiter masses
- Mesojovian Type Major Type of Jovian Class of planet. Masses from 0.21 to 8.0 that of Jupiter More information here
- SuperJovian Type Jovian worlds with masses from 8.1 to 13.0 that of Jupiter, the theoretical upper limit of planets. Objects more massive than this are classed as Brown Dwarfs. More information here.
Gas Giant Temperature Types
- HyperthermalJovian Type: Very hot gas giants, with temperatures above 1400 Kelvin. Includes so=called 'Puffy worlds' and 'Comet worlds'. More Information here.

The practice of offering turkey to God was popular in the time of King David, which is why it appears so often in Psalms. It derived from an older practice of offering turkey to one's parents: people thought, Why offer it to our parents? We can offer it to God!, and did so. The older practice of offering one's parents turkey is alluded to in the verse in Genesis (37:3):
וְיִשְׂרָאֵל אָהַב אֶת יוֹסֵף מִכָּל בָּנָיו כִּי בֶן זְקֻנִים הוּא לוֹ וְעָשָׂה לוֹ כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים
En hamikra omer ela "Darsheni!". This verse makes no sense on first read — what does having a beard have to do with a shirt? — and must be read at a deeper level.
"אהב" is clearly an acronym for "אכל הודו בלילות", "ate turkey at night", so the verse reads:
Jacob ate turkey, from all his sons, at night with Joseph. Because his son [=Joseph] was bearded, he made him a shirt of stripes.
The "shirt of stripes" that Jacob made for Joseph was actually a sort of bib to prevent the barbecue sauce from getting in his beard. It had stripes so that stains would not appear as visibly as they would on a bib that was all one color.
Later, after the time of King David, the custom evolved further. People stopped offering turkey wholly to God and started eating parts of it, as with a korban sh'lamim. Eventually, they stopped offering it at all, and just ate it themselves, from which derives the modern practice of eating turkey on Thanksgiving.

Using a Merlin MicroSeal Septum to Reduce Endrin and DDT Breakdown for EPA Method 8081b – Organochlorine Pesticides by Gas Chromatography10 Sep 2011
EPA Method 8081b requires that Endrin and DDT breakdown percentages are less than 15% each to assure that the GC system is inert and ready for action. Breakdown can be calculated by analyzing a 50/100 pg/µL Endrin/DDT standard and determining production of DDE, DDD, Endrin aldehyde, and Endrin ketone. Breakdown is exacerbated by activity in the inlet liner, whether it comes from poor deactivation of the liner and its wool packing or from contamination by non-volatile residue from analyzed samples. In addition, metal fittings in the inlet can cause breakdown of these sensitive analytes, especially under hotter inlet temperatures.
Inlet liner lifetime in organochlorine pesticide analysis as regards Endrin and DDT breakdown percentages is directly correlated with low breakdown to begin with, and sample cleanliness (or dirtiness). The best way to achieve longer lifetimes is to start with as low a breakdown percentage as possible, which means choosing an inert liner and bottom seal (if present) and making sure the inlet is free of non-volatile residue.
What may not be obvious is that the autosampler injection process and the GC septum can contribute significantly to Endrin and DDT breakdown. In an experiment using an Agilent 7683 autosampler with a dual taper 23/26s syringe needle (to minimize septum coring) on an Agilent 6890 GC-ECD fitted with a 4mm single taper with wool inlet liner and a Restek Thermolite septum, I saw a rapid increase in Endrin breakdown when repeatedly injecting an Endrin/DDT standard from a vial with a PTFE septum (NOT PTFE/silicone, but ALL PTFE). Applying some detective work and getting some photomicrographs with the kind help of Mike Goss, I was able to attribute the degradation to pieces of metal and septum in the liner. The metal comes from the autosampler syringe needle striking the metal needle guide on the septum nut and "cutting" pieces from the guide. I was absolutely shocked at how much metal was atop the GC septum after only 100 injections!
Replacing the silicone septum with a Merlin MicroSeal septum is an excellent way to circumvent this problem and maintain Endrin/DDT integrity for longer periods of time, as seen in the graph below. The MicroSeal septum is a wear-resistant fluorinated elastomer with an efficient dual-sealing mechanism that is not pierced like a silicone septum. This eliminates the problem of septum pieces ending up in the liner. In addition, I did not see any metal pieces in the liner when using the Microseal. Note that a 23g blunt, conical needle autosampler syringe is specified for injecting through a Merlin MicroSeal.
While dirty samples can quickly corrupt the liner and lead to shorter lifetimes, when those lifetimes are measured by Endrin and DDT breakdown, you'll still have more uptime if you switch from a silicone septum to a Merlin MicroSeal.

When a disaster strikes, people want to help. One thing those affected by the disaster don't need is the logistical nightmare that is created when a surge of unsolicited donations pour into their communities and overwhelm those tasked with recovery. This phenomenon is often referred to as the "second disaster."
If you'd like to get involved, before or after a disaster, here are some ways to do so:
Cash donations allow trusted organizations responding to a disaster or emergency event to quickly and efficiently meet the needs of survivors. View a list of voluntary agencies who are often active in disaster response in Iowa. Charity Navigator is also a valuable resourcefor learning more about how to give wisely during a crisis.
As mentioned above, financial contributions are often preferred during a disaster. However, companies and organizations that can match a specific need during an emergency or have access to large volumes of items that may benefit disaster-affected Iowans are encouraged to contact the Iowa Disaster Human Resource Council.

Tipster Alexandre Marion sends us a tip about the AutoCAD Block Attribute Manager command, better known as Battman.
"I've found a command called Battman (pretty easy to remember, right?) that lets you reorganize a block the way you want it, without having to enter the Block Editor. This really helps out in situations such as dealing with a block made by someone with no experience."
Notes from Cadalyst Tip Patrol: Battman is the command you want to use in AutoCAD to help you manage the block attributes of a specific block. It doesn't change the information that you put into a block that has attributes; it manages the attribute objects of a block instead.
To use it, type Battman on the Command line. This will bring up the Block Attribute Manager window. Select a block, then edit the settings of the attributes in that block. If you edit a block's attributes, remember to press the Sync button; this will update every instance of that block in your file.

Willaim Chapin |
(1802 - 1888)
William Chapin (1802 - 1888) was a prominent New York and Philadelphia based engraver active in the early part of the 19th century. Though we know little of Chapin's early years he seems to have been an apprenticed at the age of 15 to John Vallance in the Philadelphia firm Tanner, Vallance, Kearny & CO. from 1817. This firm, which is responsible for Tanner's early atlases, had a substantial cartographic corpus. There are records to indicate that Chapin purchased his freedom from Vallance for 125 USD in 1822. In time he established a significant engraving business for himself in Pennsylvania and New York with heavy focus on cartographic material. Fielding suggests that Chapin's large map of the United States is in fact the first published map to be engraved steel in the United States. Around 1839 Chapin seems to have changed careers when he accepted a position as Commissioner of Public Schools in New York. In this capacity Chapin developed an interested in working with and teaching blind children. Chapin began working as headmaster of several schools for the blind in Ohio and New York. His most significant work with the blind took place at Overbrook School for the Blind, where he developed contemporary techniques for teaching and published the first dictionary for the blind.

Enter the outlet water temperature, inlet water temperature, and the temperature of the vacuum into the calculator to determine the condenser efficiency.
- Condenser Pump Head Calculator
- Reciprocating Compressor Volumetric Efficiency Calculator
- Thermal Efficiency Calculator
- COP (Coefficient of Performance Calculator)
- Thermal Energy Storage Tank Efficiency Calculator
Condenser Efficiency Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the efficiency of a condenser.
CE = (T2-T1) * 100 / (T3-T1)
- Where T2 is the temperature of the outlet water
- T1 is the temperature of the inlet water
- T3 is the temperature in the vacuum of the condenser
- CE is the condenser efficiency (%)
What is Condenser Efficiency?
A condenser efficiency is a measure of the performance of a surface condenser relative to the maximum thermal efficiency of the condenser system.
The condenser efficiency depends on the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet cooling waters as well as the temperature difference between the vacuum and inlet temperature.
How to Calculate Condenser Efficiency?
The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate the efficiency of a condenser.
First, determine the temperature of the cooling water at the inlet. In this example, the inlet cooling water has a temperature of 25 C.
Next, determine the temperature of the cooling water at the outlet. This is measured to be 35 C.
Next, determine the temperature in the vacuum at absolute pressure. For this condenser, this is found to be 50C.
Finally, calculate the condenser efficiency using the formula above:
Condenser Efficiency = (T2-T1) * 100 / (T3-T1)
Condenser Efficiency = (35-25) * 100 / (50-25)
Condenser Efficiency = 40%

With all of the additives, preservatives and chemicals that have started showing up in our food, many people have decided to turn to raising their own. Chickens are the easiest meat to raise because they require less space and less food than other animals that humans eat.
Raising meat chickens is a rewarding experience from start to finish. The meat does taste different and has a denser texture than the bird you purchase from the grocery store. This is because it is all natural without the broth or water injections that are so commonly added to the bird in commercial processing plants.
If you are considering raising meat chickens, there are quite a few things that you need to know. It is the old way of doing things and can reconnect us with where our food actually comes from. Unfortunately, for the most part, we have become disconnected from where our food comes from which has resulted in a broken and unsafe commercial food system.
It is important to not treat your meat chickens as pets because come processing time, that can create a problem with the psychological side of the processing because for most of us, this isn't an easy thing to do. There is no enjoyment on processing day. The enjoyment comes later when the chicken is eaten.

Supplies You Need for Brooding Meat Chicks
This list can vary slightly depending on if you are raising Cornish Cross chickens or not and the number of chickens you are planning to raise. Brooding materials are an up front cost of raising chickens for meat and most of the items will only have to be purchased or built once.
You will need:
 - A source of heat such as a heat lamp. Chicks need to be kept at a certain temperature for their first few weeks and a source of heat is a must have.
 - Chick drinker and feeder.
 - Litter for the bottom of the container. It can be newspaper, straw or wood chips (anything but cedar).
 - Some sort of large container to keep them in. A large plastic tote will work for less than 10 chicks for a couple of weeks but after that, you'll need something larger as the chicks grow until they are fully feathered. Some people find watering troughs work well as brooders. You will also want to have something that will work to cover the top as a lid.
 - Feed
How to Set Up a Brooder
It doesn't have to look perfect or be perfect. Since it is now fashionable and trendy to raise chickens for backyard coops and so many people are doing it, there's a lot of equipment to choose from for brooding chicks. This information is the same whether you are brooding laying hens or meat birds.
 1. Choose the right area for brooding your chicks. You want to stay away from high draft areas around doors and windows. It is personal preference whether you want to brood the chicks in the house, in the garage or outside but all will work if done correctly. I keep my chicks in the kitchen for the first two weeks then move them to the garage until they are ready to go outside.
 2. Fill the bottom of your container with either a layer of newspaper or 1 inch of the material you are going to use for litter.
 3. Attach the heat lamp either to the brooder container or somewhere that it will hang over the top of the container. You will want to keep the lamp to one side so the chicks can get away from the light and the heat if they need to.
 4. Fill the water container and the feed container and put them inside the brooder. I always advise to put the water in the side of the brooder box that doesn't have as much light and heat. That way their water doesn't get heated up from the lamp.
 5. Add the chicks and put the lid on it.
You are done with setting up your brooder.

Raising Chicks
There are a few important things to remember when raising chicks.
Brooder Temperature: For the first week of the chick's lives they need to be kept in a 90 degree environment. After the first week, the temperature inside the brooder can be brought down about 10 degrees per week and the light removed once the nighttime temperatures don't require the use of the light.
It's a good idea to use a red colored heat lamp bulb when the brooder light is being used at night so the chicks aren't disturbed by lighting when trying to sleep. You wouldn't like trying to sleep with a bright white light shining down on you and neither do they! The red color does not disturb normal sleeping patterns and when their eyes are closed, the light doesn't shine through the eyelids.
Changing the Litter: Depending on what breed of meat chicken you are brooding, plan on changing the litter as often as every other day to at least twice a week. If you are raising Cornish Crosses, the litter will have to be changed a lot more often.
Feed and Water: Change the water twice a day and keep the feeder full. Chicks grow extremely fast and will eat more than what you would expect. They can also be messy. Even though they are babies, they will scratch in the litter which means they will toss litter up into their food and water. Some people set their water and feed containers on bricks or blocks of wood to elevate them and help keep the litter problem to a minimum.
Handling the Chicks: Even though these are meat birds and you won't want to treat them as pets, it is important to have the chicks used to being handled. You will want to pick each chick up daily for a few seconds so they will be used to being handled when they are bigger.
When to Put the Chicks Outside: Just like laying hens, meat chickens are ready to go to an outside pen or coop when they are fully feathered out. They can be allowed to free range or be outside in a fenced in area during the day after they are a couple of weeks old but since they require a certain amount of heat to keep them warm, only allow them to go out when the outdoor temperature is even or higher than their current temperature requirement.
What Does Chicken Feed Look Like?
Choosing the right feed for meat birds is extremely important.

Feed and Food for Meat Chickens
Chickens are like miniature garbage disposals and they will eat almost anything. This is true when they are chicks too. Feel free to introduce your meat birds to all foods that chickens love like fresh vegetables, seeds, bugs and fruits. These foods are all nutritious for the chicken which will lead to a healthier chicken and a better bird on the table.
Chick feed is different than chicken feed. They are similar but the difference is similar to a child's vitamin and an adult vitamin. At different stages in our lives, we have different needs. If you choose to use feed, make sure to use chick starter feed for the first few weeks if using the Cornish Cross or about twelve weeks for other meat chickens.
Poultry grit is a necessary additive in both laying hens and meat chickens. The grit is reserved by the gizzard and helps the chicken digest their food. It can be mixed into feed or offered in a separate feeder for the chickens to eat as they need it. Poultry grit is simply small rocks and chickens that are not allowed to free range will need to be offered grit in order to be able to digest their food properly.
When it gets closer to processing time, a lot of people start upping the amount of corn that their meat chickens eat. This adds more bulk to the meat and "fattens" the chicken up before processing. The corn can be given fresh on the ear, in feed form or even out of a can.

Chicken Breeds to Raise for Meat and Where to Get Them
Chicks are usually available for purchase at feed stores in the spring. Sometimes they are sexed and sometimes they aren't but if you are raising chickens for meat, sexing really doesn't matter.
Hatcheries are also a good option for purchasing meat chickens. You place your order and they will send your chicks to you through the mail. You will need to pick up your chicks at your local post office in person. Chicks are surprisingly resilient and can survive being sent through the mail.
The breeds that you want to look for when choosing your meat birds are the ones that are called "heavy breeds." These breeds include the Jersey Giant, Rhode Island Red, Plymouth Rocks and Orpingtons to name a few. Heavy breed chickens are ready for processing at different times depending on the breed, feed and desired size.
The most common breed of chicken that is raised for meat is the Cornish Cross. These chickens grow quickly and can be ready for processing in as little time as 8 to 12 weeks. This is the same breed

This Online Tech Support page is focusing on Oracle user creation. To create user in Oracle database the simple syntax is:
CREATE USER IDENTIFIED BY ;
This command will create a new user and will apply the current database configuration setting on it. The first example will create user "john" with password "john1234".
CREATE USER john IDENTIFIED BY john1234;
While creating the users the best practice would be to let users to change their passwords on first logon and before getting access to the database. To apply this condition the additional command is PASSWORD EXPIRE. Take a look at the example below where the Oracle create user command will be executed with additional PASSWORD EXPIRE keyword:
CREATE USER john IDENTIFIED BY john1234 PASSWORD EXPIRE;
In addition, you can set to the user different Oracle tablespaces and initial quota that would be other than it is set by default. On this following example we are using the same username john and we will assign to it Oracle data tablespace JOHN_DATA and temporary tablespace JOHN_TEMP and his initial quotas will be set on 15 Mb and 10 Mb.
CREATE USER john IDENTIFIED BY john1234 DEFAULT TABLESPACE john_data QUOTA 15M ON john_data TEMPORARY TABLESPACE john_temp QUOTA 10M ON john_temp PASSWORD EXPIRE;
To create new users there is an option to use Oracle Profiles using them you can apply the same restrictions on many user. For example the restrictions could be like maximum amount of open sessions or connection times or giving grants commonly using the permissions profile.
The last part of this page we are explaining a bit a second type of user that you can create in Oracle. Those users are meant to be for external programs or tools that will only be used to connect to the database. The advantage is that these users need to be identified only first time by the external tool. When somebody is using database only via the same tool then the created user will get access only through the same program. This way create user cannot be used by any possible source and this gives a bit more security.
The next example will create Oracle user for external type of connection only.
CREATE USER john IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY DEFAULT TABLESPACE john_data QUOTA 15M ON john_data;

text: We explore how households insure themselves against consumption volatility. We asked households how they would fund an unexpected emergency consumption expense equivalent to one month's income. Answers reveal a range of consumption insurance mechanisms, including borrowing from credit markets and social networks. Despite this, more than one quarter of households have no plan to insure their consumption. The likelihood of non-insurance increases with poor financial literacy and is highest among households most at risk of experiencing a financial shock. Among these households we see large effects of poor financial literacy on non-insurance.

Most wind farm wake CFD models are based on the actuator disc (AD) or the actuator line (AL) models to estimate the influence of the wind turbine on the atmospheric flows, while full rotor (FR) computations [15, 18] are usually used to estimate accurately the loads and power production of wind turbines.
The assumption made in many models is that after a few rotor diameters the details of the wind turbine rotor geometry become irrelevant to the flow behavior. However, it is important to know how much physics is lost in the near wake when using "simpler" models
actuator line and
actuator disc in comparison with a full rotor computation. To address this question, a systematic comparison of the three different types of wind turbine models was made.
This paper presents the preliminary results from the comparison where the three methods is used to simulate the NREL 5MW turbine in uniform inflow and their predictions of the near wake region is compared to each other.

Polarized Light Microscopy
Preparing specimens for observation and digital imaging in polarized light is a relatively simple task. The easiest and fastest method is melt-recrystallization of common organic chemicals that undergo a melting phase without subsequent decomposition. The illustration in Figure 1 shows a scientist holding a pair of beaker tongs that are gripping a microscope slide during a melt-recrystallization specimen preparation experiment.
The microscope slide in Figure 1 is being heated with a Bunsen burner adjusted to produce a relatively low temperature. After the chemicals on the slide have completely melted, the slide is carefully placed on a cool surface (the bench top) and allowed to sit until crystallites reform from the melted chemical. This can take anywhere from a couple of seconds to a several years, but most chemicals will recrystallize in a time frame of a few minutes to an hour or two. When preparing samples using the melt-recrystallization procedure there are several tips that will save quite a bit of time and increase the chances of making good samples.
To begin with, use only very small amounts of the chemical to be recrystallized when you prepare a microscope slide. In most instances, a few grains (couple of milligrams) will be sufficient to produce beautiful patterns in polarized light. Too much of the chemical will lead to very thick layers of crystals that absorb most of the microscope light, and lack the vivid color of thin crystalline preparations. To start, carefully sandwich a couple of grains of the chemical (pure chemicals work best) between a microscope slide and coverslip, and do this at one end of the slide instead of in the center. Grab the end of the slide lacking the coverslip/chemical sandwich with a pair of beaker tongs or insulated pliers and slowly heat on the Bunsen burner.
The grains of chemical will slowly start to melt when the temperature of the microscope slide approaches the melting point of the chemical. After the chemical has completely melted, quickly place the microscope slide down on a protected surface and use the tip of the beaker tongs or nose of the pliers to drag the coverslip from one end of the slide to the other. This produces a sheet of molten chemical across the surface of the microscope slide where the coverslip has passed. The chemical spreading action is done to produce flat sheets of crystals (Figure 2) that are formed on top of the slide but in areas that are not directly underneath the coverslip. We highly recommend this method for making samples for use with the QX3 microscope.
An alternative method for making samples with the melt-recrystallization technique is to press the coverslip on top of the melted chemicals without dragging it across the microscope slide. In this case, the pressure will flatten the melt, resulting in crystallites that are thinner and will have a better chance of displaying a wider spectrum of colors. Use this method for sample preparation when the specimens are to be imaged with a research-grade microscope that has objectives corrected for coverslip glass thickness and refractive index. Unfortunately, the QX3 microscope has no such correction, and specimens imaged through a cover glass tend to lose a significant amount of contrast. For this reason, we suggest making crystal preparations without a coverslip.
The laboratory chemicals found in high school and college chemistry stockrooms provide an excellent source of samples for recrystallization and imaging with polarized light. Most crystals are anisotropic and birefringent, which means they will cause interference between doubly refracted light rays passing through. Both constructive and destructive interference occurring at the microscope analyzer will cause the formation of beautiful patterns that can be captured as digital images by the QX3 microscope.
Many chemicals available at local drug stores and supermarkets can also be effective specimens under polarized illumination. These chemicals include vitamins, moth balls and crystals, aspirin and other painkillers, pharmaceuticals, darkroom chemicals, sugars, and some dairy products.
Occasionally, chemicals decompose upon heating and will be poor subjects for examination under the microscope. Salts are notoriously bad candidates for the melt-recrystallization process. The melting point of most salts is usually very high and any organic portion of the molecule undergoes degradation before melting, and this is often accompanied by rapid oxidation (burning) of the salt.
Another very effective method of preparing recrystallized chemicals for observation with polarized light microscopy is to allow soluble chemicals to slowly form crystallites while undergoing radical concentration increases during solvent evaporation. This method is especially useful when trying to prepare salts for examination under crossed polarized illumination.
To prepare samples using this method, first dissolve the chemical sample in a suitable solvent (illustrated in Figure 3) such as water, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), acetone (fingernail polish), or mineral spirits. After the chemical has completely dissolved, place a drop onto a microscope slide (Figure 4), and then carefully form a sandwich by placing a coverslip over the solution. Often, chemicals can be made to dissolve much more quickly by applying some heat to the solvent, either through the use of a hot plate or stove.
The solution containing dissolved chemicals will flow underneath the coverslip and fill the entire volume between the coverslip and microscope slide. If too much solution is placed on the slide, then excess solution will gather at the edges of the coverslip. Alternatively, when the drop is too small, the entire volume between the microscope slide and coverslip will not be completely filled. When the solvent overruns the edges of the coverslip, large quantities of crystallites often form in areas that contain the excess solvent. These crystallites usually occur at the boundary between the coverslip edge and the glass slide, where they often form very beautiful crystalline aggregates.
After the sandwich of solution between the microscope slide and coverslip has been made, set the slide away for a day or two while the solvent slowly evaporates. These specimens are also ideal candidates for time-lapse cinemicrography using the QX3 microscope. Evaporation times will vary depending upon the vapor pressure of the solvent, with highly volatile solvents, such as acetone, evaporating very rapidly (30 minutes to an hour) and less volatile solvents (water) taking a few days to completely evaporate.
To record time-lapse sequences of crystallite formation due to evaporation, first prepare the specimen and then place it onto the microscope stage and configure the software for the proper time interval using the QX3 Time-Lapse feature. If the solvent is acetone or another volatile, set the interval time at 30 seconds to a minute. This setting should allow between 30 and 100 images to be captured for the time-lapse sequence. When a less volatile solvent is used, increase the time interval for image capture to anywhere from five minutes to an hour.
It is often difficult to find the correct microscope focus when starting the time-lapse sequence, because there are no crystals upon which to focus the microscope, and the field of view is very dark due to the presence of crossed polarizers. The best solution is to focus on the edge of the coverslip and then move the slide until the center of the coverslip is being imaged by the microscope. As the time-lapse sequence is recorded, crystals will spontaneously form at nucleation centers and they will grow with time as the solvent evaporates. These sequences can be very dramatic as they unfold.
A number of other types of birefringent specimens can also be imaged with the QX3 microscope under crossed polarizers. These include rock thin sections that are commercially available from Ward's. A variety of hairs, furs, natural and synthetic fibers, and mineral reference sets are also available on the Web from The McCrone Group. Bone thin sections display beautiful patterns when imaged in polarized light, and can be purchased from either Ward's or Carolina Biological Supply. There are no companies selling pre-prepared crystal slides (of which we are aware), but purified chemicals are available from many distributors directly through their websites. The companies mentioned above are also good sources of other supplies, such as microscope slides, solvents, and coverslips.

The Effects of Background Music on Shopping Behavior
Many marketing practitioners have accepted the notion that
music affects human beings in various ways.Music is increasingly used as
a stimulus in the retail environment as well as in radio and television
advertising to evoke responses advertisers want to see. This paper reviews
literature concerning the effects that various types of background music
have on individuals while shopping online. Past research has shown individuals
to react differently while listening to background music in a store settings.
It was hypothesized that background music does effect several areas of
individual shopping behavior on the internet also.
(note: all important numbers are blue)
experiment was designed to determine whether background music effected
online shopping behaviors. It was hypothesized that background music
would lead to and increase in product likability, increase in the number
of items purchased, increase in the amount amount of money spent
and an increase in the amount of time shopping online.
Independent sample t-tests were used to calculate the results of this study. The hypothesis of background music affecting product likability was not supported T(18)=1.23,p=.233.
Although, the product likability hypothesis was not supported, the results do show background music to have some effect on other aspects of shopping behavior.
However, the hypothesis that background music would lead to an increase in the number of items purchased was supported. On average, participants who were exposed to background music did purchase more items (M=5.50) than those who were not exposed to background music (M=3.60).
difference of only an average of 2 items, substantiated over a number of
customers, is significant
As shown in figure 3, on average participants who were exposed to background music while shopping online, spent more time online (M=13.50 minutes) than those without background music (M=7.50 minutes). These participants were given the option to stop shopping at any time during the experiment and still, the experimental group with the background music stayed online for a longer period of time.
the hypothesis that background music would lead to an increase in the amount
of money spent was not supported T(18)=.589,p=.563.
The background music did not seem to have an effect on the amount of money
spent, but only the amount of products purchased.
examining the average amount per item spent per group, significance was
not found. The experimental group spent an average of $81.75
per item and the control group averages $80.67.
These dollar amounts are too close to be significant.
Although not every finding supported the hypothesis that background music affects shopping behavior, two aspects of shopping behavior were found to be significantly different. Both amount of time spent shopping online and number of items purchased were affected by the music. However, this research shows that money and product likability do not seem to be affected by background music.
The main findings were as follows: as hypothesized, background music did not have an effect on how much individuals liked the products they purchased. However, background music did lead to an in an increase in the amount of products purchased along with an increase in the amount of time spent online. Although more items were purchased while background music was playing, a less amount of money was spent while listening to background music. These findings indicate background music does affect different aspects of online shopping behavior.
some significance was found with the data, there were also several limitations
to this study. The mixed results may have been the cause of the participants
not actually purchasing the products but rather just placing the items
in the shopping cart. If the purchase intentions were real, the participants
may have been more conscientious of what they were buying and how music
money they were spending. There may have been many underlying reasons why
participants purchased more items with background music than those without
music. Impulse shopping behavior may have played a role in this study.
The findings indicate that increased time spent online resulted in an increase
in the number of items purchased. This may be a result of participants
jumping at the first item they see and buying it. How much the participant
liked the background music should have been assessed to see if music preference
played a role in the purchasing of the items. Also, computer literacy among
participants was not measured and may have played a role in how quickly
individuals shopped online.
Also, past experience with shopping online may have caused some participants to move around online quicker than others.
Maturation may have also played a role in the shopping behavior. Individuals who caught on faster by the end of the experiment probably were able to purchase more items than those who never understood the directions on how to shop online. Likability for computers and the Internet may have been a confound variable in this study. Participants who prefer to use computer programs may have felt more comfortable and at ease in front of the computer than those who do not feel comfortable with computers.
To avoid some of these confounding variables, future experimenters may want to access the participantís computer literacy and whether or not they feel comfortable shopping online, along with other demographic variables of the participants.
Although only some significance was found in this study, this data does expand our knowledge of background music and online shopping behavior. This study helps us to understand why some shopping online networks get more business. If online shopping networks included background music on their shopping homepages, increases in time spent online and amount of produce purchased could be hypothesized for these big online shopping networks.

- I've looked it up, and have seen it mentioned a few time. Perhaps it can be added to the article worded as "Some speculate that..." or something similar. Grond 21:22, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
- Christopher Tolkien explicitly identified Carnil (or Karnil as it originally was) with Mars. The Index in Morgoth's Ring says (in my paperback edition), "Karnil The planet Mars. 160, 166; Carnil 166. See pp. 434-5." In the note on pages 434-5 it says how Tolkien wrote an "M." above Karnil, identifying it with Mars and a couple of paragraphs below this Christopher says the following things:-
- "...a great red star named Karnil and marked with 'M' must be Mars (cf. Michael Ramer's name Karan for Mars, IX220)" then, "That Mars and Jupiter, if not Saturn, should appear among them [that is the conspicuous objects of the heavens of Arda] would seem inevitable, seeing that in my father's astronomical myth the planets were never distinguished from the 'fixed stars' " and finally, and most crucially, "Karnil was surely always Mars".
- In my mind there is absolutely no doubt as to what Carnil is. A good online source for astronomy would be the Astronomy of Middle-earth by Kristine Larsen who has written a few articles on Middle-earth astronomy is somewhat of an expert on the issue. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 21:27, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Iowa Department of Public Health
Top Flex Activities
Program Area: Support for Quality Improvement
Iowa's goals are to improve patient safety in critical access hospitals (CAHs) and the community by:
- Ensuring all health care providers and eligible patient populations receive their influenza vaccinations
- Provide technical assistance (TA) workshops and consultation site visits to improve hospital staff and patient vaccination rates and provide online vaccination data reporting system reports (in addition to other data reports)
These goals will be measured by the percentage of CAH staff vaccinated, the percentage of eligible patient population vaccinated and the percentage of CAHs reporting on influenza vaccination rates.
Please share a success story about reporting quality data or using quality data to help CAHs in your state improve patient care.
Floyd Valley Healthcare, part of Avera Health, was one of the hospitals recognized at the 2016 National Rural Health Association's Critical Access Hospital Conference as a Top 20 CAH. The hospital, with an average daily census of about 10, is located in Le Mars, Iowa, which claims to be the Ice Cream Capital of the World and is northeast of Sioux City.
Quality and patient perspectives are only a portion of the measures considered in the CAH ranking methodology. Upon review of the Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Project (MBQIP) data, these were likely strong contributors to Floyd Valley's success. A Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) five-star hospital, Floyd Valley Healthcare performs with excellence across every MBQIP domain and has also been a strong participant and performer in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Partnership for Patients program.
When asked for the most powerful factors that drive Floyd Valley's success, 18-year Administrator Mike Donlin described a healthy culture of teamwork and devotion to patients that impacts everything from the pristine appearance of the campus to excellence in billing and medical records. The culture is one where leaders respect and encourage staff and provide the resources needed to do their jobs well. Donlin stated, "For the whole management team, no one pushes back on investing in quality. We count it as a given and a part of the minimum of what our community expects of us." He added that the work of quality is ongoing. "Nothing is sustainable without effort."
Beyond embracing Avera's proactive quality and patient safety stance, Dolin also points to the power of partnerships to extend the reach of excellence into every aspect of patient care. The hospital collaborates with its principal affiliate Avera Health as well as nearby UnityPoint Health on joint quality and patient safety projects. It is active in the Iowa Hospital Association's Hospital Improvement and Innovation Network (HIIN) and participates in a Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organization (ACO). "We seek participation in everything we can to prepare for what's coming down the pike in terms of value-based purchasing. It is dangerous to rely on the present payment system," Donlin stated.
Program Area: Support for Financial and Operational Improvement
In the area of financial and operational assessments, the Iowa Flex Program will:
- Conduct three meetings with identified CAH cohorts in high need of financial and operational assistance to help prepare CAHs for new payment and delivery models
- Track the number of CAHs in need of financial and operational assessments that show improved financial and operational performance
- Track the number of targeted CAHs that attend regional meetings
Program Area: Support for Population Health Management and Emergency Medical Services Integration
In the area of population health management and emergency medical services (EMS), Iowa will:
- Provide a statewide CAH population health management needs assessment
- Evaluate CAH and county level community health assessments to determine needs related to health access, disease prevention, causes and treatments
- Track the number of CAHs completing or revising health needs assessments
Please provide information about any efforts to assist CAHs/communities and partner organizations in the transition to value-based care.
The Iowa Flex Program has contracted with consulting experts to advise Iowa CAHs and their communities on what value-based care is and how the transition will impact the health care system.
Please provide information about network activities in your state to support Flex Program activities.
The Iowa Flex Program subcontracted to a technical expert to promote and improve the reporting of quality of care data by CAHs.
Please describe how your state Flex Program has enhanced its use of data in the past year.
The National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH) and iVantage recognized Iowa for having 102 hospitals reach top quartile performance status in Quality, Outcomes, Patient Satisfaction and Financial Strength compared to all acute care hospitals in the nation!

Project Description
Field Programmable Gate Array
With the decreased size and power of electronics, efforts are being made to merge the core spacecraft electronics into a single processing platform to reduce size, weight, and power (SWaP). There is a particular desire to integrate spacecraft communication and navigation systems in order to improve the performance of both receivers, support autonomous on-board navigation, and enhance user operations. The goal of this project is to develop a multipurpose, flexible, scalable receiver architecture for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) that can acquire and track communication and navigation signals.
Due to the growing availability of highly capable, radiation tolerant Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), modern satellite hardware platforms are starting to incorporate them into their designs. Hardware developers are taking advantage of the high number of logic resources within these chips to implement and integrate a lot of the software and signal processing functions required by missions.
This project proposes to develop a generalized FPGA-based receiver architecture for receiving spacecraft communication and navigation signals.

The key benefits of this novel architecture are that it would:
 - simplify the integration of the communication and navigation functions of a spacecraft,
 - reduce receiver development time for new types of signals or hardware plaforms, and
 - address the on-board navigation and communication needs for a wide variety of mission types from CubeSats to large "flagship" science missions.
