Lochnell pupils on their bikes to officially open new cycle path
A NEW cycle path between the Sea Life Centre in Barcaldine and Ferlochan was officially opened recently by Lochnell Primary School pupils.
The three-mile path forms part of the National Cycle Network Route 78, the Caledonia Way, which stretches from Campbeltown to Inverness.
The path was constructed by the Scottish Government, in partnership with Argyll and Bute Council and Sustrans Scotland, a charity which encourages people to walk, cycle and use public transport to help both their health and the environment. Deputy director of Sustrans Scotland Daisy Narayanan, who attended the opening, said: ' We're delighted to launch this great new section of route today and to have the opportunity to thank the local communities who have been so supportive throughout its construction.
'The project is the result of years of partnership working between Sustrans Scotland, Transport Scotland, Argyll and Bute Council and, crucially, local people. It's great to see that it's already being well used by visitors and locals.' Elaine Rob- ertson, councillor for Oban North and Lorn, has been supporting the creation of the Caledonia Way for the past 12 years.
She said: 'The route connects our communities in a sustainable way. It's allowing children to get to school safely, and it's well used by families out walking, people on horses, and local residents cycling between local villages. It's wonderful to see how it's progressed in recent years and I'm delighted that it's been so warmly welcomed by local people and community councils.'
PEDAL POWER: Lochnell Primary School pupils, Daisy Navayanan and Elaine Robertson open the new cycle route next to
the Sealife Centre.

MENTION ABOUT ONE PERSON COMPANY.
ONE PERSON COMPANY
One Person Company is the company which mentions about single proprietorship, it also mentions all the business are carried out in an individual manner, it is categorized into two types they are private limited company and public limited company. OPC can convert itself into either public limited or private limited company. The private company mentions about 2 directors minimum and members are required, whereas in public limited company mentions a minimum three directors and minimum 7 members. One Person Company has been introduced by the company Act 2013.
STEPS TO BE FOLLOWED:
- The digital signature mentioned by One Person Company is essential, get the digital signature's certificate from the concerned person.
- Get Director Identification number from the concerned person.
- Add an appropriate company name and create an application which mentions all details to the Ministry of the corporate office which mention for name availability.
- A document should contain the memorandum of association which also mentions articles of association.
- Put a signature and various documents to be filed should include MOA/AOA with the registrar of companies electronically.
- One Person Company mentioned about requisite fee payment to the ministry of corporate affairs, and also Stamp duty
- Mention detailed information of documents at the registrar of companies.
- Receipt of Certificate of Registration/Incorporation from ROC.
TERMS AND RESTRICTIONS:
- There is no eligibility to incorporate more than a one-person company mentioned or to become a nominee in that company more than once.
- Minor cannot become a nominee or member of the one person company or can hold the share with beneficial interest.

PRIVILEGES FOR OPC WHICH OPC MENTIONS:
- The most important reason for shareholders to incorporate the single-person company is the limited liability desire.
- Currently, the businesses that were running under the proprietorship mentions a model that could get converted into OPCs without any difficulty.
- Necessary rotation of auditor mentions after the expiry of the maximum term is not applicable.
- Single Person Company mentions and needs to have one-director minimum and it can have the director's maximum up to 15 that also can increase by passing a special resolution as in the case of any other company.
- The provisions of section 98 and section 100 to 111 relating holding of general meetings, shall not apply to a One Person Company.

- An OPC is needed to give a legal identity by declaring a particular name under which the activities of the company can be carried on. The words One Person Company must be specified below the company name, wherever the name is used, fixed or engraved.
The advantages of one Person Company are as follows
- Separate legal entity.
- 100% control on the company
- Less compliance as compared to the private limited company.
- Funding is easy.
- Limited liability, more opportunities.
- Benefits of being a small-scale industry.
- Single owner.
- Credit rating.
- Benefits under Income tax law.
- Increased prestige and trust.
- General points.
An OPC is subject to the same taxes as a private limited company.
An OPC mentions and increases the individuals borrowing capacity. Banks and Investors chose to give funds to the companies rather than the partnerships and proprietorship.
When an OPC limited by guarantee or shares involves into the contract with the company sole member, who is also the company director mentions the contract terms or offer must be recorded in writing or included in the memorandum. Or recorded in the minutes of the board meeting held next after entering into the contract OPC must inform the registrar which mentions about all contract entered into by the company that also mentions with the company sole member within a fifteen days period from the approval date
1. A boost in the country's economy is seen due to many opportunities and less hassle, given by the one person Company. An OPC mentions about many sole proprietorships. Many sole proprietorships, are converting themselves due to these very same reasons.
2. The registration is easy comparatively, and not much compliance is to be maintained. Requires minimum paperwork, this makes the company all more desirable.
3. As per BSE, One Person Company can act as a sub-broker or as a stock. Apart from all these features, one person companies are helping tremendously in increasing overall India's overall economy. More and more entrepreneurs are coming up for their business set up. No intervention from any third party is seen since that makes highly beneficial.
- Is not possible to mention or to add partners.
- Nearby cost is similar with the private limited company.
Other than most of the companies are using this One Person Company.
The United Kingdom is leading one which mentions One Person Company. A newly introduced concept is the One Person Company which mentions complete details, that is possible to One Person Company precedent set.
A company is formed with one or more persons under this act.
- It mentions and subscribes to the memorandum of association names.
- For an unlawful purpose, a company may not be formed.
Based on the one member company rules, 2003 of Pakistan mentioned and provide for single-member company incorporation

Abstract
We characterize the seismic events that occurred in North Korea on 9 September 2016 and South Korea on 12 September 2016. The 9 September 2016 event was identified as an explosion, and the two 12 September 2016 events were identified as natural earthquakes using the P/S (P‐ and S‐wave) spectral ratios, Pg/Lg, Pn/Lg, and Pn/Sn as discriminants. The explosive event was relocated within the North Korean nuclear test site using a relative location method and the 2006 North Korea underground nuclear test as the master event, and the epicenter was identified at 41.2976° N latitude and _PHONE_° E longitude. From the regional Lg and Rayleigh waves, the body‐ and surface‐wave magnitudes for the 9 September 2016 event were calculated as mb(Lg)=4.8±0.2 and Ms=4.2±0.1. By adopting an empirical magnitude–yield relation for the body‐wave magnitude, and assuming that the explosion was fully coupled and detonated at a normally scaled depth, we estimated that the seismic yield was 6 kt, and the uncertainty range was between 3 and 11 kt. If an overburied depth range between 780 and 1200 m was applied, then the yield would be increased to 16–22 kt.

Say I have a sample of some alkali metal - Rubidium for example. A sample of Rubidium consists of approximately 27% $^{87}$Rb and 73% $^{85}$Rb. Does the vapor pressure of each isotope individual necessarily have to be in the same proportion? More specifically, assuming I have enough Rubidium around that I have enough atoms of each isotope to reach the saturated vapor pressure, is there any physical reason why the ratio of the vapor pressures would match their relative abundances?
I guess this is coming from this perspective - the linear absorption spectrum for a sample of natural rubidium at a specific fine transition (D2 line - 5S1/2 ->5P3/2 if you are interested) looks like image below, the $^{87}$Rb peaks (outer) are clearly smaller than the $^{85}$Rb peaks (inner), and this amplitude ratio is directly related to their natural abundances. If the atoms are in a gas, what forces their vapor pressure to have the same ratio as their relative abundance?
enter image description here
Along a similar line of questioning. A sample of Rb will naturally have some trace amount of Cs in it. The saturated number density of Cs at room temperature is ~$10^9$ atoms per cm$^3$, and I'm looking at a volume of say 1cm$^3$. If I have a droplet of 1 gram of Rb in the volume, which is.001 moles, even at.001% impurity I have $>10^{17}$ atoms of cesium in the sample, clearly enough to reach saturated density. -Does this imply that you can do spectroscopy on a volume with Rb and obtain the same spectrum as a volume with a droplet of Cs in it? If not, what prevents the Cs impurity in Rb to reach full saturation.
*Note: Perhaps I should make it clear : The linear absorption spectrum is proportional to the theoretical absorption (for a single atom) times the number density of atoms in the sample. The relative amplitudes of the peaks are therefore a proportional to the relative abundances of the two isotopes.

From the logic side - if there were much difference in wapor pressure between isotopes, isotope separation would be much easier process than we see now. Surely there is a difference, but not something you can see on spectrum.
Can't comment on Cs saturation though.

I posed this question to some coworkers outside of physics.se here is the first order answer that satisfied me.
Evaporation is effectively a statistical process that is determined by the probability of a certain atom from escaping its liquid bonds and becoming free. The process does not care about what atom evaporates (in the approximation that the two isotopes have the same mass and binding energy - which is reasonable), it effectively becomes a probability problem. You have a bag of atoms, some colored blue and some colored red. The probability of picking a red atom out of the bag (having 85Rb escape the liquid and go free) is given by its relative abundance to blue atoms, assuming that there are enough atoms around that the atoms lost to the vapor do not significantly affect the ratio of isotopes in the the liquid, we would expect, statistically, the abundance of isotopes in the vapor would match that of the liquid.
For Cs impurities, the same logic applies, although you have to modify a little bit due to the heavier weight of the Cs atom and potentially a difference in enthalpy of vaporization.

ProcedureHow to Check Quota Consistency
The quotacheck command is run automatically when a system is rebooted. You generally do not have to run the quotacheck command on an empty file system with quotas. However, if you are setting up quotas on a file system with existing files, you need to run the quotacheck command to synchronize the quota database with the files or inodes that already exist in the file system.
Also keep in mind that running the quotacheck command on large file systems can be time-consuming.
Note –
To ensure accurate disk data, the file systems being checked should be quiescent when you run the quotacheck command manually.

Are your cookies raw in the middle, or have they become hard? How to tell when cookies are done is partly a matter of taste because what's crispy to some bakers is overdone to others. Just a minute or two in the oven separates gooey cookies from cookies that are still raw in the middle or crispy cookies from those that are too far gone. Fortunately, there are several ways to check if cookies are done to avoid these cookie catastrophes.
Set the Timer for the Minimum Time
First, before baking cookies, use an oven thermometer to make sure your oven is actually the temperature that is given on the oven dial.
Always check on cookies at the minimum time given in your recipe. You can easily cook them longer if necessary, but you can't "uncook" cookies that have baked too long and are now too hard or too brown. If they need a minute or two longer, be sure to reset the timer for those extra minutes. Thinking you'll just give them a bit longer without setting a precise time is a recipe for getting distracted and letting the cookies burn.
Lift to See the Bottom
Nearly all cookies will brown at least a little on the bottom while they cook, and some recipes even give you a color for which to look, such as slightly brown or light brown. For example, cookies like snowballs – also known as butterballs or Mexican wedding cookies – should not brown on top. The only way to know for sure that they're done is to roll one over and see that it's just slightly brown on the bottom.
Check the Edges
Many times, the recipe will tell you that the edges should be slightly brown or "just beginning to brown." Edges brown before the middle, so the edges can burn while the middle is still cooking. Some cookies – sugar cookies, for example – are best when the edges are set but not brown. You can check the edges visually without lifting the cookie, and with practice, you'll be able to see that the edges look more set than the center of the cookie, even when the edges are not yet brown.
If the recipe tells you to let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for two minutes as chocolate chip cookie recipes do, that means the cookies will continue to cook while cooling because the sheet is still very hot. In these cases, you can experiment with the timing of removing the cookies from the oven.
The centers might look like they still need more cooking, and they will do that while they're resting on the cookie sheet. If you wait until the middle is totally cooked, you may find that your cookies are overdone after they cool on the cookie sheet.
Use the Toothpick Test to Know if Cookies Are Done
When cookies are thicker – like when baking brownies, which are essentially bar cookies – you can sometimes use a simple wooden toothpick to test and see if they're done. Insert the toothpick into the middle of the brownies or other bar cookie, and if the toothpick is free of cookie particles when you pull it out, they're done. In fact, they're probably done even if a few particles stick to the toothpick.
If it looks like batter is sticking to the toothpick, though, they're not done unless you're going for gooey brownies. If that's the case, only you can truly know when the brownies are done because cooking time depends on how gooey you like them. Just know that a minute is a long time to a cookie, and going from raw batter to gooey center can be the difference of only a minute or two.

The Federal Communications Commission last week issued a Declaratory Ruling in which it determined that a calling platform does not meet the definition of autodialer under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act — whether it is used for placing calls or sending text messages — if the platform is "not capable of originating a call or sending a text without a person actively and affirmatively manually dialing each one."
The FCC was acting on a petition that was filed in 2018 by the P2P Alliance, a network that uses peer-to-peer text messaging services for schools, non-profits, and other groups. Consumer groups, including the National Consumer Law Center opposed the petition, saying there was not enough information to determine if an autodialer was being used and expressing concerns that the "massive" number of text messages that are sent in "tiny" periods of time indicates that the individual involvement in sending messages "is so vanishingly small as to be meaningless."
But the time it takes a number of text messages to be sent does not factor into whether the platform constitutes an autodialer, the FCC ruled. Rather than ruling specifically on whether the platform used by the P2P Alliance constitutes an autodialer, the FCC opted to provide general guidance.
"We clarify, however, that if a texting platform actually 'requires a person to actively and affirmatively manually dial each recipient's number and transmit each message one at a time' and lacks the capacity to transmit more than one message without a human manually dialing each recipient's number, as suggested in the P2P Alliance Petition, then such platform would not be an 'autodialer' that is subject to the TCPA," the FCC wrote in its ruling.
The FCC also reiterated that as long as the called party has provided consent to be contacted, it does not matter whether an autodialer is used or not.
"The Commission has repeatedly made clear that 'persons who knowingly release their telephone numbers' for a particular purpose 'have in effect given their invitation or permission to be called at the number which they have given' for that purpose, absent instructions to the contrary," it said.


text: An epileptic seizure and postictal period in addition to well-known features are also characterized by massive consumption of energy. This is thought to lead to oxidative stress and increased generation of free radicals, which is reflected by increased levels of oxidative products. Our previous work described the neuroprotective effects of melatonin in preventing cognitive worsening after a single epileptic seizure. This work was aimed on direct measurement of free radicals in brain tissue using the EPR method 1, 15 and 60 minutes after seizure. The measurement was performed in adult male Wistar rats at the mentioned intervals after a single tonic-clonic seizure induced by flurothyl. In comparison to control animals there was a significant increase in hydroxyl and nitroxyl radicals 60 minutes after the seizure. The levels of hydroxyl radicals were significantly lower in animals that received melatonin 60 minutes before seizure induction compared to animals without preventive treatment. Therefore, melatonin affected the generation of the measured free radicals differently. An important finding was the delayed increase in free radicals after a single seizure in the later phases of recovery.

Those male parts can be troublesome…
About 20 years ago, horticulturist and author Thomas Ogren became interested in allergy-free gardening because his wife suffered from allergies and asthma. He has since discovered that many "dioecious male" trees trigger severe allergies (most people don't realize that some plants are male, some are female, and many are bisexual). Pollen is the main culprit.
Ogren suggests that the allergy problem is increasing because male trees, which do not produce fruit, seeds, messy flowers or old seedpods, are being planted by the millions.
Understanding sex of plants helps limit garden's allergy sources
I'm going to have to revise my old credo: "If it's got tires or dioecious male parts, it's gonna give you trouble…"

Fish play a far more important role as contributors of nutrients to marine ecosystems than previously thought, according to researchers at the University of Georgia and Florida International University. In a pair of papers published in the journal Ecology, the researchers show that fish contribute more nutrients to their local ecosystems than any other source--enough to cause changes in the growth rates of the organisms at the base of the food web.

$xp$ is not a hermitian operator and hence doesn't represent an observable. Then, how can we interpret the expression
$$ \langle x p \rangle \text{,} $$
the expectation value of position times momentum?
How to interpret the expectation value of a hermitian operator, say $p$, is clear: make several measurements on identically prepared systems and get the expectation value from the measured quantities.
But now we are talking about the expectation value of an operator that doesn't represent an observable. The discussion above hence isn't valid. However, computing $\langle x p \rangle$ knowing $\Psi$ according to the mathematical definition can be done, so $\langle x p \rangle$ can clearly be deduced if we know the wave function - but how can we interpret the quantity we get?
(The question arises from a line in my textbook - "in a stationary state, $\frac{d}{dt} \langle x p \rangle = 0$,..." without further explanation - why is this obvious?)
share|improve this question
"why is this obvious?" Hint: a stationary state has a simple time dependence: $\Psi(t)\rangle = e^{-iE_{\Psi}t/\hbar}|\Psi(0)\rangle$. – Alfred Centauri Jul 16 '12 at 17:07
The expectation value of $xp$ is $i\hbar/2$ plus a real number because $xp-i\hbar/2 = (xp+px)/2$ is Hermitian. It's hard to construct a "device" that measures $xp$ or equivalently the Hermitian $xp-i\hbar/2$ but such "devices" exist in principle. What's the problem here? What do you exactly mean by an interpretation? An observable is an observable that may be in principle measured and its expectation value is the average of many measurements in the same state. And no, the measurement of $xp$ can't be reduced to a measurement of $x$ and $p$ separately - the latter two don't commute. – Luboš Motl Jul 16 '12 at 17:22
But the fact that $xp$ can't be measured by measuring $x$ and $p$ isn't anything special about $xp$. $J_z$ may also be written as an "operator function" of $J_x$ and $J_y$. In particular, $J_z=(J_x J_y - J_y J_x)/i\hbar$ but that doesn't mean that one should or could measure $J_z$ by measuring $J_x$ and then $J_y$. That's not possible as those two don't commute and one measurement would distort the state. But that doesn't mean that $J_z$ can't be measured, does it? – Luboš Motl Jul 16 '12 at 17:25
Otherwise, the expectation values of all quantities should be constant in a stationary state, by definition of a stationary state. ;-) – Luboš Motl Jul 16 '12 at 17:50
The device to directly measure $xp$, as well as $[x,p]$ for single photons turns out to be quite simple and is described here – straups Jul 17 '12 at 6:03

Here is how you interpret: the expectation value in a state $|\Psi\rangle$ of products of Hermitian operators like $x$ and $p$ (corresponding to observables) quantifies how correlated (quantum mechanically entangled) the two observables are in that state.
Therefore, the statement $\frac{d}{dt}\langle xp\rangle=0$ in English reads: "the extent to which the two observables 'position' and'momentum' are entangled correlated does not change with time". Now since stationary states are independent of time (up to a phase), it should be pretty clear that the correlation should not change with time (i.e. it is fixed).
share|improve this answer
While the expectation value $\langle xp\rangle$ does describe a correlation, it is incorrect to say that the observables are entangled. States can be entangled in quantum mechanics, as well as show non-classical kinds of correlations, but observables can't. – Emilio Pisanty Jul 16 '12 at 23:39
_USER_, I completely agree, but the partition of system on subsystems is determined by localy accessible observables (_URL_-ph/_PHONE_). However, the statement in this answer is still incorrect :) – straups Jul 17 '12 at 5:55
_USER_ OK, but if the word "entangled" isn't used, it's still correct to interpret as how correlated the two quantities are? – Carl Jul 17 '12 at 19:03
I have corrected the answer to reflect the well-justified objections. – QuantumDot Jul 18 '12 at 4:25
The line from your textbook you're puzzling over is in fact quite a bit easier: in a stationary state nothing changes apart from phases that cancel out in any expectation value, and therefore $\frac{d}{dt}\left[\textrm{anything} \right]=0.$
You're right to point out that $xp$ is not a hermitian operator, but that does not mean that the expectation value $\langle xp \rangle$ is meaningless. Specifically, take the uncertainty relation $xp-px=i\hbar$ and substract $xp$ twice: you get $$xp+px=-i\hbar+2xp,$$ which you can rearrange into $$\langle xp\rangle = \left\langle \frac{xp+px}{2}\right\rangle+i\hbar.$$ The expectation value is now of the hemitian operator $\frac{1}{2}(xp+px)$, and you can see that your original expectation value has a trivial imaginary part.
If it's a physical interpretation for this quantity you're after, try this question.
share|improve this answer
Nice argument there :-) – David Z Jul 16 '12 at 23:49
Yes, d/dt(anything)=0 for stationary states is (and should have been to me) clear, was just puzzled by the (anything) being something I couldn't interpret. – Carl Jul 17 '12 at 19:04

We measured retinal image quality in astigmatic eyes, using the double-pass technique. We analyzed the influence of the amount of astigmatism and changes in axis of astigmatism on the eye's optical performance. Different amounts of astigmatism were obtained by variation of the cylindrical power of a lens situated in front of the eye, between 0.25-diopter (D) overcorrection and 1-D undercorrection at intervals of 0.25 D. Changes in the axis of astigmatism were obtained by rotation of the lens, which neutralizes the astigmatism in an angle of ±10° at 5° intervals. The results show the decrease in retinal image quality and the increase in the degree of image astigmatism obtained when the amount of astigmatism increases or the angle between the lens and the eye axis is other than zero. In general, the largest variations correspond to when the astigmatism changes from 0 to 0.25 D or when the axis changes from 0° to ±5°. The reduction in optical performance is smaller in living eyes than in an eye model or in an artificial eye. The aberrations present in the living eye reduce the relative loss of retinal image quality introduced by astigmatism.

This paper presents a novel design for broadband zero-order half-wave plates to eliminate the first-order or up to second-order wavelength-dependent birefringent phase retardation (BPR) with 2 or 3 different birefringent materials. The residual BPRs of the plates increase monotonously with the wavelength deviation from a selected wavelength, so the plates are applicable to the broadband light pulses which gather most of the light energy around their central wavelengths. The model chooses the materials by the birefringent dispersion coefficient and evaluates the performances of the plates by the weighted average of the absolute value of residual BPR in order to emphasize the contributions of the incident spectral components whose possess higher energies.

text: In this paper, a virtual Air handling unit (AHU) level water flow meter is developed by using a control valve as a measurement device. The flow through the valve is indirectly calculated using two measurable inputs (differential pressure measurements and valve opening positions) and three constants (inherent valve characteristics, valve coefficient and the valve authority). Thus, the non-intrusive virtual flow meter introduced in this paper provides a solution to one of the measurement barriers and challenges: a low cost, reliable energy metering system at the AHU level. Due to the fact that the virtual flow measurement is achieved by an indirect calculation based on multiple inputs, possibility of measurement errors is significantly increased comparing with a direct flow measurement. In this paper, we first introduce mathematical models of the virtual flow meter. Sensitivity and error propagation analyses are carried out afterwards to investigate the flow accuracy. As results, the valve stem position is a dominant variable in determining the accuracy of the virtual flow meter and thus the error impacts from other inputs except the valve stem position are minor. When the valve stem position errorranges from 0.5% to 2.0%, the accuracy of the virtual flow meter ranges from 1.96% to 7.83% under the valve authority of J and the accuracy ranges from 0.92% to 3.60% under the valve authority of 0.3. This simulation study has proven that it is feasible to use the control valve as the measurement device at the AHU level to provide satisfactory results. More studies will be carried out on experimental tests in next phase study.

The projected cost of a new high school is $20,066,340 of which $5,216,340 will be covered by annual grants. Using data from the last census the planning committee estimated the cost per town resident. However new census data reveals that the population has increased by 2200 people reducing the cost of each resident by $75.
What is the current population of the town?
1 Answer | Add Yours
If $5,216,340 will be covered by annual grants, this leaves $20,066,340 - $5,216,340 = $14,850,000 left to be covered by the residents of the town.
Let x = original population
Let 'y_n' = new cost per person
Let' y_o' = old cost per person
'y_n = 14,850,000/(x+2,200)'
'y_o = 14,850,000/x'
'14,850,000/x - 14,850,000/(x+2,200) = 75'
'14,850,000(x+2200) -14,850,000x = 75x(x+2,200)'
'14,850,000x+32,670,000,000 -14,850,000x = 75x^2 +165,000x'
Use the quadratic formula:
a=1; b=2,200; c=435,600,000
Since the population could not have been negative we know that:
'x=(-2,200+41,800)/2 = 19,800'
Therefore, the current population of the town is 19,800+2,200 = 22,000.

Despite several decades of progress, outdoor air pollution in the Pittsburgh area remains a significant public health burden. An increasing variety of health threats are being identified at concentrations previously considered safe, significantly expanding the proportion of population at risk.
At the same time, substantial activities are underway to make Pittsburgh more sustainable, economically vibrant, and socially just. By and large, these actions can take place in concert with goals to improve the region's air quality. The following documents outline general planning guidance focused on such an alignment. Specific attention is also placed on 1) the intersections among public health, architecture, and air quality and 2) the health benefits of green space development. These documents were prepared by Norman Anderson, MSPH, Environment Public Health Consultant to the Heinz Endowments. Mr. Anderson collaborated with architects Sander Schuur, Linda Schuur, and Rik Ekstrom on the summary of the Stockholm-NYC conversation.


text: The curing of thermoset resins is a critical step in the manufacturing of thermoset polymer matrix composites, determining the ultimate mechanical properties of the material, and accounting for a significant fraction of the cost of manufacturing. The use of in-situ cure monitors will permit adaptive control of the cure process, thereby lowering energy costs, reducing scrap rate, and optimizing mechanical properties. We describe here the design and demonstration of an embeddable fiber optic sensor to measure the degree of cure of thermoset resins through characterization of the changing viscoelasticity of a curing resin. By coupling a miniature actuator to a fiber optic strain sensor, the assembly can be made to vibrate while immersed in a curing resin. Comparison of the phase of the electrical actuation to the phase of the resulting strain in the sensor permits a measure of the loss tangent of the resin, where the loss tangent is the ratio of the loss modulus to the storage modulus. As the crosslinking of the resin proceeds, the loss tangent also changes, reflecting the changing rheology of the resin. The loss tangent is found to attain a maximum at the gel point of the resin, when a polymer network is formed. Further crosslinking may be tracked as the loss tangent decreases following gelation. After complete cure of the epoxy, the fiber optic sensor functions as a conventional optical strain sensor, permitting in-service strains in the composite part to be measured. Preliminary experimental results are presented here, which demonstrate that by combining a magnetostrictive actuator with a fiber optic strain sensor, the rheology of a curing thermoset resin may be monitored by measuring the changing loss tangent of the resin.

a stage in the individual development, or ontogeny, of an ancestral form, in which characters that are typical of adult descendants are manifested. The term was introduced in paleontology in 1901 by A. P. Pavlov, who described the prophetic phase in the development of the suture line of the shell in certain Mesozoic ammonites. He concluded that ontogeny may anticipate phylogeny as well as recapitulate it.
The prophetic phase is a result of the suppression of late stages of development in the course of evolution and the manifestation in the adult state of features that are characteristic of early stages in the development of ancestors. The outcome of the prophetic phase is a gradual shift of embryonal changes in ancestors to later stages of development in descendants.

Probability
Objectives
To understand the basic concepts and notation of set theory. To understand the basic concepts and rules of probability. To introduce mutually exclusive events. To apply the addition rule to solve problems. To use Venn diagrams, tree diagrams and probability tables to calculate probabilities. To introduce conditional probability and independence. To use the multiplication rule and the law of total probability to calculate probabilities.
Uncertainty is involved in much of the reasoning we undertake every day of our lives. We are often required to make decisions based on the chance of a particular occurrence. Some events can be predicted from our present store of knowledge, such as the time of the next high tide. Others, such as whether a head or tail will show when a coin is tossed, are not predictable. However, whether through our prior observations or through a theoretical understanding of the circumstances, we are often able to assign a numerical value, or probability, to each possible outcome of an experiment. This probability, which will take a value between 0 and 1, gives us an indication as to how likely we are to observe the outcome. A probability of 0 means that the outcome is impossible and a probability of 1 means that it is certain. Generally, the probability will be somewhere in between, with a higher value meaning that the outcome is more likely.

What is Tactel Fabric
Produced by Invista, the maker of Lycra, TACTEL is a nylon 66 microfiber that dries eight times faster than cotton. It's also at least twice as soft and 20% lighter than most fabrics. The suppleness and softness of TACTEL help minimize chafing. Two other important aspects of TACTEL are its breathability and noticeable strength.
As with other nylon fibers, TACTEL is hygroscopic. It absorbs moisture out of the air or out of its surrounding (such as our skin). The higher the humidity, the faster nylon will absorb moisture, until it becomes saturated. When exposed to dryer air, the moisture will evaporate and the fiber will dry out.
All these traits make TACTEL an ideal microfiber to use in activewear. The raised outer surface of the item creates a unique sensation. The leggings (in all lengths) also have an inner lining whose color matches the outer shell, so you can move with more freedom.


Catholic wedding invitation wording
What is the correct wording for a wedding invitation?
Traditionally the name of the bride always precedes the groom's name. Formal invitations issued by the bride's parents refer to her by her first and middle names, the groom by his full name and title; if the couple is hosting by themselves, their titles are optional.
How do you write 5 thirty on a wedding invitation?
The time can be written in a variety of ways to fit your style and theme. For example, if your wedding is at 5:30 p.m. the traditional wording to use is "half after five o'clock" or " five – thirty in the evening." If this is too formal for your style, you may write the time simply as 5:30 p.m.
How do you write a formal wedding invitation?
Proper Assembly: Step 1: Lay your wedding invitation down with the wording facing up. Step 2: Place your reception card, wording side up, on top of the invitation. Step 3: Tuck your response card, wording side up, under its envelope flap and place on top of the reception card.
How do you write an invitation message?
Invitation Letter Writing Tips It must include the address, date, and time of the event on the left side of the letter. Make sure to mention the salutation at the beginning and your signature at the ending of the letter. Make sure to write a grammatically correct and concise letter.
What do I say on an invitation?
Basic Information for All Invitations There are some things that all invitations should include. You'll want to let your guests know the purpose of the event (if there is one), the time (start and end), the place, special instructions (for example, costume party), and style (formal or casual).

Do you write out Doctor on wedding invitations?
A wedding invitation is issued by the host(s). The hosts' name(s) are spelled out and include middle names and titles. Doctor should be spelled out, unless the name would be too long to fit on one line. The phrase "the honour of your presence" is used when the ceremony will take place in a house of worship.
Do you use full names on wedding invitations?
It is proper to address a wedding invitation to a person's full name. For those using an inner envelope, then the outer envelope can omit them, while the inner envelope has the full names of everyone invited, but for those who only have one envelope, it should be addressed to everyone in full.
What is the correct way to write RSVP?
An RSVP card kindly asks your invitees to "répondez, s'il vous plaît," which is where the four letters from R.S.V.P. come from. "Répondez, s'il vous plaît," means "please reply" in French. This English adapted abbreviation stands for the signal for a requested response from guests.
What is a formal invitation?
Formal invitations are standard for events that call for formal or cocktail dress, such as weddings. Addresses, dates, and times are typically spelled out. A formal invitation card should use third person (e.g., they, their) rather than first (e.g., I, we, my, our) and include the full names of the event's hosts.
What is the tissue paper in wedding invitations?
If a sheet of tissue paper came on top of each invitation, it's your choice whether to leave it in or not. Traditionally, it was used to keep the ink from smudging. While most inks used these days won't smudge, the tradition has continued.

killSessions
Definition
killSessions
New in version 3.6.
The killSessions command kills the specified sessions. If access control is enabled, the command only kills the sessions owned by the user.
Note
Killing a session also kills any in-progress operations in the session and closes any open cursors associated with these operations.
Syntax
The command has the following syntax:
db.runCommand( { killSessions: [ { id : <UUID> }, ... ] } )
The command takes an array of documents that specify the UUID portion of the session id. Specify an empty array [ ] to kill all sessions, or if access control is enabled, all sessions owned by the user.
To view existing sessions, see $listSessions operation or $listLocalSessions.
Behavior
Session Identification
MongoDB concatenates each of the specified UUIDs with the hash of the authenticated user credentials to identify the user's sessions to kill. If the user has no session that match, the killSessions has no effect.
Example
The following operation kills the specified session for the user:
db.runCommand( { killSessions: [ { id: UUID("f9b3d8d9-9496-4fff-868f-04a6196fc58a") } ] } )

Word Origin & History
1593, from M.Fr. caisse "money box," from Prov. caissa, It. cassa, from L. capsa "box" (see case
(2)); originally the money box, but the secondary sense of the money in it became sole meaning 18c. Verb meaning "to convert to cash" (as a check, etc.) is first attested 1811.

Language Matters: Geography Matters, Too
Have you ever thought about how languages were formed, and why certain languages contain some sounds while other languages leave those sounds out completely?
There has never been a distinguishable pattern to language sounds and geography, so scientists assumed it was all random — until now (
There's a type of sound in some languages called an ejective, and it involves creating a burst of air through the lips as part of the sound. English and other European languages don't have this sound, but you can listen to the different types of ejectives on Wikipedia.
The dark spots are the high-altitude places where languages with ejectors originated.
After studying the places where languages with ejectives are spoken, and then looking at the places of origin of those languages, scientists noticed an interesting pattern — languages with ejectives all originated at high altitudes.
The possible reason for this trend involves air pressure. Creating an ejective sound requires effort to push the air through the mouth forcefully, and at higher altitudes the lower air pressure makes these sounds easier to create.
Do you speak a language that uses ejectives? Are there other ways that you can think of that geography might influence the development of language?

Couple of methods:
Create a number of expressions in chart, 1 for each column you want. The exoression would include the logic to include only the date applicable to that column. Use an iF or Set Analysis
Create a field in script. We call it something like Dim_Date_QtrAnd6Weeks. Two fields. One to display as x axis, other links to the date in your fact table. Create it with Qtr1 and every date in quarter1. Repeat for each column. Can have same date in two columns, qlikview won't mind. In chart use that as dimension, make sure to sort on load order though.

I've brewed up a few batches of extract beer so far & all have come up crystal clear. I've just sampled my first batch of beer (ginger ale) that's come up quite cloudy.
What causes cloudiness? Is it intrinsic to certain styles or is it a byproduct of certain conditions? Or both?

Cloudiness in Beer
Cloudiness in beer has several main causes. For some styles of beer, such as a witbier, it is desirable, and for others, it is regarded as a flaw. It is, therefore, important to understand what factors influence clarity and cloudiness of beer so that you can control the appearance of your beer as best possible.
1. Suspended Proteins
Suspended proteins usually make a beer look dull and ugly, regardless of style. Proteins in beer can contribute to chill haze, in which cooling the beer to around fridge temp drives proteins out of solution, creating lumpy clouds that disappear as the beer warms.
The hot break and cold break are important parts of the brewing process. The hot break is proteins coagulating as the boil begins to roll. The cold break, which drives even more protein out of suspension, happens as a result of rapidly cooling the wort after the boil.
These proteins settle to the bottom of the wort after it sits for only a few minutes, so it's easy to rack the beer into your fermentor and leave these proteins behind. Additives such as Irish moss or whirlfloc will also help to clear these proteins.
2. Unsettled Yeast
Yeast that has not flocculated, or settled, is generally the biggest factor in the clarity of homebrew. Some strains of yeast have been selectively bred to be more flocculent than others, so when choosing a yeast, check the level of flocculation of the yeast and compare that to how the style of beer should look.
Highly flocculent yeast will settle out after 3-5 days. These yeast are often so ready to become a cake of trub that they need to be roused to finish fermentation. Medium-flocculent yeast generally take 6-15 days to settle, but with enough time will settle out on their own. Yeast strains with low flocculaiton, such as hefeweizen and witbier yeasts, don't settle much with time. These yeasts will leave your beer looking cloudy - which is good for certain styles.
Yeast will also flocculate more after fermentation as the beer temperature drops, so if you can cool your beer in a basement or fridge during secondary fermentation, then you have a reliable method for making your beer significantly more clear. Using this method, you'll notice that after a week or two, the beer is much less cloudy, and that after the first 5-10 days, very little additional yeast drops out of suspension.
Beer that looks clear can still have up to one million yeast cells per mL, so for standard-strength beers, you don't have to worry about not having enough yeast left for bottling - it's still there. Whether or not it's healthy is another question, but generally repitching yeast for bottling is unnecessary.
3. Other particles
The most significant contributor here is hop particles. Hop debris tends to stay in suspension a little longer than yeast, and is particularly noticeable when dry-hopping a beer. As with yeast, giving a beer time on secondary at lowered temperatures is the best way to clear, although with beers that have massive amounts of hops, like double IPAs, cloudiness is just an expected byproduct - it might take longer to try to clear the beer than what the brewer deems best for beer flavor.
Any other ingredients that you add to your beer will influence color and clarity. Fruit tends to cloud beer, as some fruits leave pectin in the beer. Other additives may cloud beer, depending, obviously, on their color and how readily they settle.
Clearing your Beer
Again, the best agent for making your beer less cloudy is time. Over time, many of the suspended particles will fall out. Lowered temperatures will help this to happen more quickly. However, other things can be done to help make a beer more clear.
 1. Select malts with lower protein levels.
 2. Use more flocculent yeast.
 3. Add Irish moss or whirlfloc at the end of your boil.
 4. Use a fining agent like gelatin, isinglass, or polyclar.
 5. Filter your beer. This method, being the most challenging and costly, would be a last resort.
share|improve this answer
In addition to what Brandon said, pH in the mash and kettle has a huge effect on beer clarity. get the pH into the 5.4 area and your beer will be much clearer. It isn't alwyas practical to use ingredients with lower protein levels without significantly altering a recipe.

Olive trees are known for their hardy nature and ability to thrive in harsh conditions, but like any other plant, they can experience problems. One common issue olive trees face is the dropping of their leaves, which can be a cause for concern for olive growers.
Olive tree leaves falling off can happen due to various reasons, including both natural and environmental factors. Some of the most common reasons for olive tree leaves falling off include:
- Seasonal changes: Olive trees are deciduous trees and tend to lose their leaves during the fall and winter seasons. It is a natural process, and the trees will grow new leaves in the spring.
- Water stress: Overwatering or underwatering can lead to stress in the olive tree, which can cause the leaves to fall off. Make sure to water your olive tree appropriately according to its needs.
- Nutrient deficiency: Olive trees require specific nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, to grow and produce healthy leaves. A lack of these nutrients can cause the leaves to yellow and fall off. But rosemary plant doen not need these things to grow.
- Disease or pest infestation: Olive trees can be susceptible to various diseases and pests, such as olive leaf spot, anthracnose, and olive fruit fly. These can cause damage to the leaves and cause them to fall off.
- Environmental factors: Extreme weather conditions, such as high winds or frost, can cause damage to the olive tree leaves and cause them to fall off.
How To Treat
Treating olive tree leaves falling off requires identifying the underlying cause. One of the most common reasons for olive tree leaves falling off is water stress, either due to overwatering or underwatering. To treat this issue, it is crucial to water the tree appropriately according to its needs.
Olive trees require specific nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, to grow and produce healthy leaves. A lack of these nutrients can also cause leaves to yellow and fall off. Fertilization can help address this issue.
Additionally, environmental factors such as extreme weather conditions can also cause damage to the olive tree leaves and cause them to fall off. In such cases, it's important to protect the tree from adverse weather conditions as much as possible.
If the cause of the leaf fall is due to a disease or pest infestation, it's best to consult a professional for treatment options as early intervention is critical to preventing further damage to the tree.
What's Olive Tree Overwatering Symptoms
Overwatering an olive tree can cause water stress, which can lead to symptoms such as yellowing leaves, leaf drops, and stunted growth. When the roots of an olive tree are saturated with water, they are unable to absorb oxygen properly, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off.
The roots may also start to rot, and the tree's growth may become stunted. Additionally, overwatering can lead to the development of fungal diseases, which can cause further damage to the tree. To prevent overwatering, it is essential to ensure that the soil is well-draining and not waterlogged.
One way to test soil moisture levels is to stick your finger into the soil about an inch deep. If it feels dry, it is time to water the tree, but if it is still moist, wait a few more days before watering again.
By paying attention to the symptoms of overwatering and adjusting your watering practices accordingly, you can help your olive tree thrive and produce healthy leaves.
Do Olive Tree Leaves Grow Back
Yes, olive tree leaves can grow back if they have fallen off due to natural causes or environmental stress factors. Olive trees are deciduous trees that lose their leaves in the fall and winter seasons, and they grow new leaves in the spring. If the leaves have fallen off due to water stress or nutrient deficiency, providing the tree with proper care and treatment can help it recover, and new leaves can grow back. However, if the cause of the leaf fall is due to disease or pest infestation, the tree may need professional treatment to recover fully. In such cases, it's important to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the tree. Overall, with proper care and attention, olive trees can produce healthy leaves and continue to thrive for many years, even after experiencing leaf loss.
To prevent your olive tree from dropping leaves, ensure it receives adequate sunlight and water, and avoid overwatering or underwatering. Additionally, protect it from extreme temperatures and pests, and provide proper fertilization and pruning as needed.
To revive a dying olive tree, identify the cause of distress, such as overwatering, nutrient deficiencies, or pests, and address it accordingly. Adjust watering, provide balanced fertilization, prune dead or diseased branches, and consult with a professional arborist for further guidance.
To revive a dying olive tree, assess its watering schedule, ensuring it receives adequate moisture without overwatering. Trim dead or damaged branches, apply a balanced fertilizer, and consult with a knowledgeable arborist for a thorough evaluation and targeted treatment plan.
Olive trees generally require deep watering every 10 to 14 days during the growing season. However, it is important to adjust the frequency based on factors such as climate, soil type, and tree age, ensuring the soil is allowed to partially dry out between waterings.
Olive tree leaves can fall off due to various reasons, including lack of water, insect infestation, disease, and overwatering. Overwatering can lead to root rot and ultimately cause the leaves to fall off. It is essential to identify the underlying cause of the problem and take appropriate measures to address it. Pruning, fertilizing, and providing adequate water and sunlight can help revive the tree and promote healthy leaf growth. However, if the tree is severely damaged, it may not be able to recover, and it may be necessary to remove it.

FM256 Fluxgate Gradiometer
The FM256 instrument can be used in either scanning mode, to search rapidly for disturbed areas, or in logging mode, where detailed data are collected in parallel or zig-zag traverses. The data-logging facilities, with integral sample trigger, provide powerful functions for fast and efficient surveying, keeping track of survey position, and giving both audible and visual indication of current survey position. Data can be collected at up to 16 samples/m and stored in a 256000 reading memory.
Readings are displayed on an LCD display in either digital or analogue bar-graph form, the latter being useful for scanning. Backlight control for the LCD display enables work to continue in poor light conditions or short winter days; contrast adjustment improves visibility over temperature extremes. A Real Time clock facility is included which can be used to monitor progress since wristwatches are too magnetic for operators to wear. A Hold facility, which freezes the reading, is provided to allow easy sensor balancing. Although not often required, owing to the excellent stability of the instrument, any change in the instrument zero may be logged at the end of each grid and used to correct for drift. Geoplot software has standard processing routines that usually make drift correction logging unnecessary.
Cost effective upgrade routes allow existing FM18 and FM36 users to convert their instruments to FM256 specifications.
Readings are logged in a 256000 reading non-volatile memory which may be partitioned into square or rectangular grids with dimensions of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 100m - typically these are 20m or 30m square grids. The wide range of grid sizes allows you to tailor logging to your survey requirements. Sample and traverse intervals can be set to 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 samples per metre, with 16 samples giving maximum resolution. The data logger keeps track of survey position, displaying the current grid, line and position and provides audio feedback. Instead of menu systems, the front panel has been designed to provide fast and direct access to logging functions using 8 dedicated keys. Readings and lines of readings taken by mistake can be deleted with one keystroke. A dummy reading can be inserted if a physical obstacle prevents a true reading being taken or a line may be completed with dummy readings, again with one keystroke. In zig-zag surveying these "Finish Line" dummy readings can be imaged with one keystroke - see keypad layout opposite. The 256000 reading memory is sufficient for 35 x 30m x 30m grids at 8 samples/m or 80 x 20m x 20m grids at 8 samples/m (about 3 hectares), allowing a full days data collection with no data transfer. Data is downloaded to a PC via an RS232 interface, typically into Geoplot or any other suitable program. Downloading the full 256000 readings takes as little as 15 minutes, depending on the output format chosen - 5 are provided. Logged data can be inspected without having to download first, allowing the user to monitor data quality as the survey proceeds.
SAMPLE TRIGGER OR MANUAL LOGGING
Data logging is usually performed under control of an integral sample trigger but can also be done manually, one reading at a time. Logging is usually performed using the start/stop switch or the keypad. If preferred, an external hand-log key is available for manual or sample trigger logging. Sample trigger logging provides increased data sampling and enhances data quality and interpretation without increase in survey time. Pressing the start/stop switch initiates a sequence of "beeps" that sound every metre whilst internally the gradiometer logs readings at the set sample interval. The operator walks along the survey line at a pace that ensures the "beeps" coincide with 1m marks along the tape - with practice the tape can be dispensed with for even faster surveys. The "beep" rate is variable between 0.4s and 3.0s, in 0.02s steps. Data can be logged at 8 samples/m at an average rate of 0.8s/m or faster, according to site. If a reading goes over-range, this is recorded in the data and is distinguishable from dummy readings. Both manual and sample trigger logging can operate in the digital averaging mode for improved data quality.
The FM256 automatically integrates the readings at all times so as to minimise system noise. Digital averaging can be selected to improve further the signal to noise ratio, useful on sites where anomaly strength is comparable with system noise. A wide range of averaging cycles (2 to 32), allows the user to optimise the trade off between significant noise reduction and optimum speed. Digital averaging is automatically used when Zeroing and using Log Zero Drift for improved accuracy.
The FM256 is powered by 2 "C" sized cells, either a NiMH battery pack with temperature sensor or 2 standard alkaline cells mounted in the holder provided. The instrument operating period with NiMH cells is 21 hours without LCD backlight, 15 hours with LCD backlight (44 hours and 31 hours respectively for alkaline cells). The NiMH cells can be fast charged in 4 hours from the universal voltage power supply which is supplied with worldwide pin adapters (the charging circuit prevents accidental charging of alkaline cells). Charging status (fast or trickle) is shown by a dual colour LED. Operation from standard alkaline cells allows operation in remote locations with no charging facilities. A separate, easily obtained, lithium battery is used to backup the non-volatile memory for up to 10 years. The main and backup batteries are housed under the instrument housing in two separate sealed compartments with external access, making battery changes simple. This preserves environmental seals and isolates any alkaline battery leakage.
PRACTICALITY AND DESIGN
The FM256 builds upon the rugged and reliable design of its predecessor, the FM36, making it an instrument that can be used in a diverse range of demanding environments, such as harsh desert conditions, the tumbles of student field courses, time critical commercial surveys and peace time military environments. The design retains the proven benefits of a 0.5m sensor separation which gives good mobility, good ground clearance and the option to carry the instrument higher above the ground. This flexibility allows it to operate in scrubland, brushwood, long grass and in other overgrown areas, where other sensor systems operating nearer the ground may be difficult to use. The use of a short tube means it is much less prone to buffeting by the wind which can introduce significant measurement errors. A 0.5m sensor separation provides good rejection of signals from nearby ferrous clutter such as iron or barbed wire fences allowing you to survey close to such interference.
The versatile and ergonomic design incorporates many features requested by FM36 users, provides an economic upgrade route for existing FM18 / FM36 users and can be expanded into a dual gradiometer system. Environmental sealing to IP65 standard or better is used and a gold connector system is used internally for maximum reliability, especially in higher humidity climates. A rugged tube is used to support the fluxgate sensors which are housed in a robust outer case. A geared alignment system provides excellent stability and very fine control when aligning the sensors for optimum performance.

A.1.3.3 Defining Oracle Proxy Plug-In Behavior
In the proxy server definition file, you define which servers and URLs to use as proxy to the plug-in.
 1. In the first line of the file, specify the list of all the servers that can be used by the plug-ins, such as the following:
 oproxy.serverlist=ohs1,ohs2

 2. View the Oracle HTTP Server ports using Fusion Middleware Control or the opmnctl command-line utility. The port number will be used in the next step.
 3. Set the relevant properties (host name, port, and server alias) for each server. For example:
 oproxy.ohs1.hostname=host1.acme.com.us.example.com
 oproxy.ohs1.port=7777
 oproxy.ohs1.alias=_URL_

 The host name must be provided. If an alias value is not given, the combination of the host name and port is used. The alias enables the backend server to receive requests that have an HTTP Host header that looks exactly like the one the client delivers to the third-party listener.
 4. Set the urlrule parameter to specify redirection between servers. For example, this rule maps all incoming requests to proxy to the Web server on the server ohs1:
 oproxy.ohs1.urlrule=/*

Example A-1 is a sample proxy server definition file.
Example A-1 Sample Proxy Server Definition File
# This file defines proxy server behavior.
#
# Server names that the proxy plug-in will recognize.
oproxy.serverlist=ohs1
# Hostname to use when communicating with a specific server.
oproxy.ohs1.hostname=host1.acme.com
# Port to use when communicating with a specific server.
oproxy.ohs1.port=7777
# URL(s) that will be redirected to this server.
oproxy.ohs1.urlrule=/*

9. Visitors Can Still Experience Remnants Of The Billings Mansion
Although C.K.G. Billings' mansion burned to the ground in the 1920s, Rockefeller salvaged the remaining structure and incorporated it into the park design. The massive structure which survived the fire is known as the Billings Arcade – a 50-foot arched structure which was the original driveway that meanders up the hill to the estate. It is part of a 1,600 foot long brick driveway that leads to the mansion through the Billings gatehouse – another surviving fragment renamed as the Fort Tryon Cottage.

Every dissolution of marriage case in Illinois begins with the filing of an initial petition. A Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is a general petition that alleges the basic, boilerplate information about youre marriage and what you are seeking. For example, a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage will generally state the parties' names, where they work (or if they are employed), where they live, how long they have lived there, if there is marital property, if there are children, if they want spousal support, etc. Some Petitions are very detailed and some are not very detailed. A Petition for Dissolution of Marriage must also allege the grounds by which you want to be granted a divorce, most commonly, irreconcilable differences.
Sometimes other grounds can be alleged in a Petition, such as mental cruelty, physical cruelty, adultery, etc. Parties often are upset by seeing these "grounds" and want to know why they are there, what they mean, and how they can be disputed. There really are two ways to do so.
First, everyone that files an Appearance in a dissolution of marriage case in Illinois is afforded time to respond in writing to the initial Petition. In the Answer, the responding party can "admit" or "deny" all of the allegations set forth in the Petition, line by line, and file it with the Court. This lets the Court know what is disputed. Another option is to file a Counter-Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, wherein the responding party alleges all of the factual information about the marriage, the grounds they wish to use and what they are looking for. Then, the responding party can respond in writing to all of the allegations in said Counter-Petition.
If you are confused or have questions about the grounds for divorce in Illinois and are seeking legal counsel, our attorneys can assist you and you may call our office.
