The First Icelandic Glacier Lost To Climate Change Will Receive a Memorial
On August 18, 2019, Iceland's Okjökull glacier (also known as Ok glacier) will be memorialized with a plaque, after it tragically lost its battle with global warming. Disappearing back in 2014, it was the first Icelandic glacier to vanish due to climate change.
Last year Okjökull glacier was the focus of a documentary called Not Ok, wherein Rice University anthropologists Cymene Howe and Dominic Boyer told its tragic story to the world. And this summer, the pair will lead a tour called "Un-glacier Tour II" with the Icelandic Hiking Society, during which they will place the plaque. Those interested in joining the tour may reserve a spot on the website.
According to The Guardian, one century ago, Okjökull covered almost six miles and was 165 feet thick. Today, it has been reduced to less than one mile of ice that is thinner than 50 feet.
The plaque reads, "A letter to the future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years, all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it."
In a press release, Howe said, "By marking Ok's passing, we hope to draw attention to what is being lost as Earth's glaciers expire. These bodies of ice are the largest freshwater reserves on the planet and frozen within them are histories of the atmosphere. They are also often important cultural forms that are full of significance."
Okjökull glacier is one of 400 glaciers in Iceland, all of which scientists fear will be gone by 2200. In lieu of flowers, you can reduce your carbon emissions.

CN-10 Cable Cutter Adjustment
This article will discuss the adjustment of the CN-10. There have been several generations of the CN-10, and the concepts below apply to all.
Cable cutters rely upon correct adjustment to keep the cutting blades operating properly. If the tool is not cutting correctly it may need adjustment. The handle that is adjacent to the screw head is not threaded. The handle that is adjacent to the locknut is threaded. Adjustments are made from screw head side after loosening locknut.
1. Grab handles and test for play by moving them against axis of bolt. If there is knocking or play, tool should be adjusted.

2. Loosen the locknut counter-clockwise.
Loosen locknut
3. Turn screw slightly clockwise. Adjust in small increments of 1/16th of a turn.
Tighten screw slightly
4. Secure locknut and test for play as in step 1. Test for play only after securing locknut.
Secure locknut
5. Repeat 3 and 4 as necessary until play is gone. Make adjustments in small increments. NOTE: A small amount of drag in the blades is acceptable.
Test cutter on cable and housing.
Test on cable

With much use, any cutter edge will begin to wear and not be as effective. When this occurs it is necessary to replace the cutters.

Cotswold Wildlife Park has experienced a baby boom with over 350 births from 50 different species so far this year.
New additions include a tiny Giant Anteater pup who is the third breeding success for parents Zorro and Zeta.
The last time they successfully produced an Anteater pup was back in 2016.
The public were invited to help name the newborn via the Park's Facebook page and chose 'Zena'.
Curator of Cotswold Wildlife Park Jamie Craig said: "Zeta has again proved to be an excellent and diligent mother. We are extremely proud of her here at the Park and it is great to see another healthy baby growing rapidly and exploring her surroundings from the safety of her mother's rather formidable back!"
Elsewhere in the Park, keepers are celebrating the arrival of Bactrian Camel Petra.
She is the first calf sired by first-time father Louis, who was named after Prince Louis of Wales as they were both born on the same day, and experienced mother Cleo.
The wild Bactrian Camel is classified as critically endangered and is thought to be one of the rarest large mammals on earth. Camels have a gestation period of approximately 360 to 440 days.
Section Head of Primates and Small Mammals, Natalie Horner, said it has been a very busy time on the Primates and Small Mammals section this year.
"Several new births to celebrate include our Colobus Monkeys, Titi Monkeys, Cotton-top Tamarins, Dwarf Mongoose and Naked Mole Rats.
"We're also thrilled with our latest additions to the Lemur troop, including the birth of one of the rarest primates on earth - the Greater Bamboo Lemur.
"With only 30 animals in captivity worldwide, we're one of only two zoological collections to have successfully bred Greater Bamboo Lemurs this year.
"And our pair of Crowned Lemurs recently gave birth to twins. Female Sava and her partner Izao are first-time parents and are doing a brilliant job of raising their youngsters."
It was also a remarkable breeding year for the White Storks.
Cotswold Wildlife Park is heavily involved in one of the UK's most ambitious rewilding programmes – The White Stork Project - which aims to restore wild Stork populations to Britain – a sight not seen since the 15th century.
2022 was not only the most successful Stork breeding season in the Park's history, with a record 33 chicks reared.
This year's chicks hatched at Cotswold Wildlife Park in May and were transferred to Knepp Castle Estate in West Sussex for release into the wild in August.
Other breeding successes so far this year include African Straw-coloured Bats, Dyeing Poison Frogs, Prairie Dogs, Binturong triplets, Parma Wallabies, Gundis, Black-cheeked Lovebirds, Pallas's Cats and White Rhino 'Queenie' who was named in honour of Queen Elizabeth II to mark Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee.

Main Content
This workshop is about the concept of covenant and the forms it takes in Unitarian Universalism. Take some time to reflect on covenantal relationships in your life. This could include marriage, congregational membership, participation in a small group that uses a covenant, or other relationships. What do these relationships mean to you? What promises do you make, and what are the joys and challenges of being part of them? What happens when covenant is broken?
Covenant is an abstract concept. Spend some time thinking about the concrete ways it plays out in your life so that you can help youth do the same.

The uptake of EGME and the urinary excretion of its major metabolite (MAA) was studied in seven male volunteers during experimental exposure to EGME at rest. The exposure concentration was set at 16 mg/m3, the present Threshold Limit Value. A high retention (0.76) remained unchanged during the 4-h exposure period. In combination with a constant pulmonary ventilation and a fixed exposure concentration this resulted in an uptake rate that showed no significant variation in time. The total amount of EGME inhaled corresponded to a dose of only 0.25 mg/kg. During and up to 120 h after the start of the exposure, MAA was detected in the urine. The elimination half-life was on average 77.1 h. The total amount of MAA excreted was calculated by extrapolation and averaged 85.5% of the inhaled EGME. The pharmacokinetic data are compared with those obtained from other human exposure studies to ethylene glycol ethers (EGEE and EGBE).


Is it time to stop obsessing over MadELeINE?
Why the Madeleine McCann case epitomises a narrative of white privilege
By El Barnes
The Madeleine McCann case is the most notorious missing person's case in history.
Almost twelve years later, Operation Grange has received a total of £11.75m of government funding, the most recent instalment having been granted in October 2018. But with 1 in 200 children going missing each year in the UK alone, is it time to finally stop obsessing over Madeleine McCann?
Before continuing, it must be addressed that this is a devastating case which has at the heart of it a beautiful and innocent little girl who, no matter which theory you choose to believe, has been met with an exceedingly tragic fate. I do find it interesting, though, that the only other case involving a child that has had an international audience just as captivated is the 1996 murder of JonBenét Ramsey in Boulder, Colorado. The most significant point of contrast between the two is that JonBenét's ordeal culminated with the discovery of a body, but the similarities don't start and end with public reception.
Like Madeleine, JonBenét was thought of as something of a juxtaposition between prized possession and least favourite child. Like Madeleine, JonBenét suffered the most horrific fate with her – apparently oblivious – family close by. JonBenét's brother, like Madeleine's siblings, was completely unaware and came out unscathed. As with Madeleine's case, evidence arose after the fact that pointed towards some kind of familial involvement. Like Madeleine, JonBenét was a white middle-class child, born to wealthy and respected parents. Like Madeleine, JonBenét was innocence personified – a young child with fair hair, fair skin and coloured eyes.
According to the charity Missing People, someone is reported missing every 90 seconds in the UK.
That means that since Madeleine's disappearance over 4.2m others have been reported missing, the majority of these being children, which begs the question: why Madeleine? It seems crass to suggest that an innocent and ill-fated child should become an unfortunate symbol of white privilege, but the sad truth is that when a person of colour and/or an immigrant or refugee goes missing, the media is far less likely to pay attention. A scroll through the current list of missing persons in the UK will reveal a glaring and cruel reality: people of colour make up a significant majority of missing persons, despite the population of the UK being 86% white.
What really saddens me about this is that I couldn't name a single person of colour on this page; the only missing persons' cases I've seen media coverage of recently are that of 16-year-old Liam Smith from Aberdeen, 21-year-old Libby Squire from Hull and 19-year-old Daniel Williams from Reading. The common denominator? The victims whose faces the media has chosen to circulate are all white.
I'm not suggesting that these three people received the media attention they deserved, or anywhere near as much as Madeleine.
I'm not even suggesting that Madeleine has received more than she deserves; I firmly believe that everything should be done to uncover the circumstances of her disappearance and bring the perpetrator(s) to justice. She, as a child, and an innocent victim, deserves that much. But if the government is incapable of providing such extensive and sustained funding, and the media incapable of giving such extensive and sustained air-time, to every child that goes missing, then it shouldn't be provided to one in particular. After all, it's not just Madeleine whose image conjures up reminders of the perpetuation of white privilege – it's her parents, too.
All too often Madeleine herself becomes lost in the earth-shattering reverberations of the tempestuous see-saw that is the public opinion of Kate and Gerry McCann and no matter which side of the see-saw you are on, you are sure to have an opinion. You are sure to believe that they are victims of unimaginable tragedy or evil perpetrators of a heinous crime. You are sure to know their faces. You most likely know that in just the first 10 months following Madeleine's disappearance, the public donated £2m to the McCanns. Picture Madeleine, and you inevitably picture Kate and Gerry along with her; their names and faces and numerous details of their lives…and yet so many names of actual missing people in the UK draw a blank.
But instead of contributing to an endless media circus and becoming another extension of the problem, let's talk about the missing people of colour in the UK and remind them, wherever they are, and their families, that we haven't forgotten them.
Recent photos can be found at, where you can also report sightings.
Let's find 16-year-old Ismael Berkoun, missing from Westminster since March 13th.
15-year-old Iesha Manuk Welsh, missing from Lambeth since March 13th.
14-year-old Rhys Moore-Campbell, missing from Camden since March 7th.
15-year-old Tamara Oram, missing from Walthamstow since March 4th.
17-year-old Tung Nguyen, missing from Luton since February 18th.
16-year-old Haftom Manush, missing from Birmingham since February 10th.
16-year-old Amy Mendes, missing from Croydon since January 22nd.
Let's circulate their names and faces and keep them in our thoughts as much as we have kept Madeleine there for the past twelve years and let's hope, just as fervently, that they too will be found.

Computer and office equipment production statistics - NACE Rev. 1.1
From Statistics Explained
- Data from January 2009, most recent data: Further Eurostat information, Main tables and Database
This article belongs to a set of statistical articles which analyse the structure, development and characteristics of the various economic activities in the European Union (EU). According to the statistical classification of economic activities in the EU (NACE Rev 1.1), the present article covers for the manufacture of computers and office equipment, corresponding to NACE Division 30, which is part of the electrical machinery and optical equipment sector. The activities covered in this article are the manufacture of:
- office machinery;
- peripherals, such as printers and terminals.
Note that the manufacture of electronic games is classified under toys and is covered within the article on jewelry, musical instruments, sports goods and toy production.
Main statistical findings
There were 10.7 thousand enterprises within the EU-27's computer and office equipment (NACE Division 30) manufacturing sector in 2005, employing 154.6 thousand persons in 2006, while value added reached EUR 9.6 billion from a turnover of EUR 59.6 billion in the same year. The computer and office equipment manufacturing sector was by a considerable margin the smallest activity among the four NACE divisions that comprise the electrical machinery and optical equipment (NACE Subsection DL) manufacturing sector; this was the case for each of the main indicators used to measure the size of an activity. In relative terms, the computer and office equipment sector generally accounted for around 5 % of the electrical machinery and optical equipment manufacturing sector; this share rising as high as 8.4 % for turnover and falling as low as 4.2 % for the number of persons employed.
Within the activity of computer and office equipment manufacturing, the biggest subsector was clearly the manufacture of computers and other information processing equipment (NACE Class 30.02), which accounted for more than three quarters of both the EU-27's value added (77.3 %) and number of persons employed (77.5 %), the remainder being accounted for by the manufacture of office machinery (NACE Class 30.01).
The production of computers and office equipment was highly concentrated in three of the Member States, which together accounted for just over 75 % of the EU-27's value added in 2006. Germany was the leading producer, with a 38.3 % share of EU-27 value added (considerably higher than its corresponding share of the workforce, which stood at 25.4 %). The second highest level of output was recorded in Ireland (20.9 % of EU-27 value added), while one sixth (16.7 %) of the total was generated in the United Kingdom. To give some idea of the extent to which these three countries dominated EU-27 production, the fourth highest share in EU-27 value added was recorded in Italy at just 4.5 %. The contribution of the computer and office equipment sector to non-financial business economy value added was highest in Ireland (2.2 %), which may be attributed to Ireland often being used as a hub by large international manufacturers before distributing their computers across Europe. The next most specialised country was Hungary (where the manufacture of computers and office equipment accounted for 0.6 % of non-financial business economy value added), while Germany (0.3 %) was the third most specialised Member State.
As with many technology-related activities, EU-27 output from computer and office equipment manufacturing followed an erratic development, rising at a rapid pace through to the peak of the dot.com boom in 2000, before falling in the period from 2001 to 2003. Annual short-term statistics show that the index of production for the computer and office equipment manufacturing thereafter rose at a particularly fast pace (on average by 9.2 % per year) between 2003 and 2007. Having also peaked in 2000 the EU-27 index of employment for computer and office equipment manufacturing started to follow a downward path and fell in successive years through to 2007, losing an average of 4.5 % of the workforce each year; this trend was likely to be endemic of a gradual shift in assembly operations to lower labour cost regions.
Price comparisons over time are particularly difficult because computer specifications are constantly increasing, while the price of computers tends to fall. Indeed, in contrast to the majority of industrial NACE divisions, the domestic output price index for the manufacture of computers and office equipment in the EU-27 fell between 1997 and 2007 at an average rate of 8.1 % per year.
Expenditure and productivity
Gross investment in tangible goods of the EU-27's computer and office equipment manufacturing sector in 2006 was particularly low at EUR 710 million. Computer and office equipment manufacturing accounted for 3.5 % of the total investment made in the electrical machinery and optical equipment sector in 2006. The investment rate (defined here as the ratio of investment to value added) of the computer and office equipment manufacturing sector in the EU-27 was 7.4 % in 2006, which was the second lowest ratio among all of the NACE divisions within the non-financial business economy for which data are available in 2005 or 2006 (higher only than for instrument engineering – see Instrument engineering statistics - NACE Rev. 1.1). The Czech Republic and Greece (2005) were the only Member States among those for which data are available to report an investment rate for computer and office equipment manufacturing that was above their non-financial business economy average.
The relative importance of personnel costs in relation to operating expenditure was 10.9 % in the EU-27's computer and office equipment manufacturing sector in 2006. This was almost half the average share recorded within the electrical machinery and optical equipment sector (20.6 %) and was the lowest share among the four NACE divisions that comprise the electrical machinery and optical equipment sector.
In productivity terms, each person employed in the EU-27's computer and office equipment manufacturing sector generated an average of EUR 62.3 thousand of value added in 2006, which was well above the EUR 55.3 thousand average for electrical machinery and optical equipment. Average personnel costs were also somewhat higher, at EUR 42.6 thousand per employee in 2005 for computer and office equipment manufacturing, when compared with the average for electrical machinery and optical equipment (EUR 39.6 thousand per employee in the same year). Apparent labour productivity more than covered average personnel costs, as the wage-adjusted labour productivity ratio for computer and office equipment manufacturing stood at 153.0 % in 2005, which was above the average for the whole of electrical machinery and optical equipment sector (130.9 % in the same year), as well as being the highest wage-adjusted labour productivity ratio among the four NACE divisions covered within the electrical machinery and optical equipment sector.
In the majority of the Member States, average personnel costs were considerably higher within the computer and office equipment manufacturing sector than across the whole of the non-financial business economy. This was particularly true in Germany, where they were 83.4 % above the average in 2006. These relatively high personnel costs per employee were to some extent reflection of a high level of apparent labour productivity, as each person employed in the German computer and office equipment manufacturing sector generated 75.7 % more added value than the national average within the non-financial business economy. This relative performance was only bettered in Latvia (where apparent labour productivity among the computer and office equipment workforce was 212.1 % higher than the average), Ireland (87.1 %) and in Hungary (82.9 % higher).
Data sources and availability
The main part of the analysis in this article is derived from structural business statistics (SBS), including core, business statistics which are disseminated regularly, as well as information compiled on a multi-yearly basis, and the latest results from development projects.
Other data sources include the PRODCOM statistics on the production of manufactured goods.
The electrical machinery and optical equipment sector is an important and strategic part of Europe's manufacturing sector, producing a wide range of mostly high-technology products (for example, computers, switchgears or semi-conductors). This sector has been cited as being at the centre of industrial development, as almost every other sector depends, at least to some degree, on the capital equipment, technology, end-products, research and innovations that are provided by the electrical machinery and optical equipment sector. It is therefore often referred to as one of the main drivers of productivity gains and central to the EU's objective of creating more and better jobs.
The goods and services made within the electrical machinery and optical equipment sector range from capital goods used in energy and primary transformation activities, transport manufacturing (motor vehicles, aeronautics and rail equipment producers) or process manufacturing sectors (agro-industries, chemicals, plastics or wood), through intermediate goods (such as electronic components or wiring) that are often used by other manufacturers, to consumer goods (such as consumer electronics, mobile phones and household appliances).
This sector operates within a long-established legislative framework that covers issues such as product safety, energy labelling, minimum efficiency requirements, eco-design and waste. Two Directives (2008/34 and 2008/35) on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment were introduced in 2008. The EU aims to take measures to prevent the generation of electrical and electronic waste and to promote reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery in order to reduce the quantity of such waste by

Asphalt Driveways Kilmore Big County Dublin
Asphalt is an inexpensive solution for large surfacing areas. When you use it for a smaller surface, however, it can cost a little more than usual.
While asphalt is often referred to as asphalt tarmac, the two things are not actually the same. The main difference between asphalt and tarmac is that asphalt is tremendously hard-wearing, but the main disadvantage is that it's not as hardy as tarmac in relation to continuous deterioration by car tires.
However, asphalt is less affected by extreme weather and requires less maintenance. Another difference is that asphalt is kinder to the environment than tarmac.
When the driveway gets old, you can recycle asphalt and reuse the material elsewhere fairly easily. For driveways you can also use asphalt concrete.
Find out more about our Asphalt Driveways Dublin service here.
What is asphalt concrete?
Asphalt concrete is a blend of asphaltic cement mixed with grit or sand which delivers a long-lasting and hard-wearing driveway. These driveways are more expensive again as they are harder to repair than asphalt or tarmac. Also, Asphalt concrete gets damaged more easily by fluctuating temperatures.
How Long Will An Asphalt Driveway Last?
The way you treat your driveway will determine the lifespan of asphalt. For instance, extreme weather conditions and heavy traffic can cause dents and cracks in the driveway. So, the eventual life expectancy of an asphalt driveway depends on several factors just like tarmac. However, the general life expectancy of an asphalt driveway is about 20 years.
The Differences Between Tarmac VS Asphalt driveways Kilmore Big County Dublin
While tarmac and asphalt are usually used for pavements, driveway surfaces, and roads, they aren't the same. Asphalt is a mixture of aggregates and bitumen that needs up to two days before it completely cures. On the other hand, Tarmac is a combination of crushed stone and tar that cures quickly.
Here are the main differences between tarmac vs asphalt:
- Asphalt offers a better finish and smoother surface than tarmac. This helps to increase tire grip and makes it a more suitable, safer option for driveways and roads. This is because tarmac consists of larger aggregates than asphalt.
- Asphalt is reusable but tarmac is not. You can scrape off the asphalt surface as well as reprocess the material to use for a different project. This makes asphalt a more eco-friendly choice in comparison with tarmac.
- Tarmac is likely to get damaged by diesel or petrol spills, while asphalt needs less maintenance.
- Asphalt is slightly more expensive material to use over small surface areas.
- Similarities Between Tarmac and Asphalt
- Both are used for a wide range of paving applications.
- Both paving materials have the same makeup.
- They each contain petroleum products, fillers such as sand, and aggregate such as stone.
- Both are suitable for large loads and heavy vehicles.
Both asphalt and tarmac are used for surface pavements, roads, and driveways, but they aren't the same material. Tarmac or tarmacadam is a blend of tar and larger aggregates, whereas asphalt is a blend of bitumen and smaller aggregates. Tarmac is easy and quick to install and a litte bit cheaper than asphalt for driveways.
Asphalt is slightly more eco-friendly than tarmac as you can break and reuse it at the end of life. Since asphalt tops are smoother in comparison with tarmac, they are safer to drive on because of better tire grip.
Where Are Tarmac And Asphalt Used?
Both asphalt and tarmac materials are extensively used for roads (such as motorways, highways, caravan parks, private roads, car parks, etc.,). They are also used on pavements and driveways. Contact Quality Driveways Dublin for Asphalt Driveways Kilmore Big County Dublin. Both elements are extensively used in domestic and corporate settings.
Which Product Is Cheaper?
Among the two materials, tarmac is a bit cheaper than asphalt.
What Are The Benefits Of Asphalt And Tarmac?
Both elements offer longevity, durability, and ease of installation compared with other surfacing such as Block Paving.
Which Product Is More Environmentally Friendly?
Asphalt is slightly more eco-friendly than Tarmac.

Demand to attend a tribunal in New York on the Irish Famine was so great that the event has had to be postponed until April 2013. It was originally scheduled for October.
The Irish Famine tribunal was set up by Irish and American scholars to examine British responsibility for the catastrophic events,
However demand was so great for places that it has now had to be postponed.
The new details will be posted on irishfaminetribunal.com before the event takes place over a weekend in April.
Organizers insist it will not just be a Brit bashing episode but a serious look at the causes of the Famine
"Nobody is going to walk into an Irish-American Britbashing exercise," Niall MacGiollabhuí, a Dublin-born, New York attorney and a member of the organising committee told the Irish Sunday Times. "The arguments are finely balanced and it will be difficult to come to a conclusion on it.
"The population of Ireland fell from 8m to 4m through death and emigration caused by the Famine. The event also changed the face of the east coast of America with the huge migration trends it triggered, including the Presbyterian emigrants to the Appalachian mountains."
The purpose of the tribunal is to "examine the responsibility of the British government, under international law, for the tragic consequences of this period". In particular, the tribunal will consider whether the Famine amounted to genocide or a crime against humanity.
The organizers are also planning to make a television documentary.


Movement Speed
From Caves of Qud Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
As of Patch This information is reliable as of patch
Movement speed (MS) is an attribute that controls the action cost of moving.
Movement speed can't be adjusted during character generation, and is not affected by other attributes, such as agility. The player and most other characters begin with a default movement speed of 100.
Overview[edit | edit source]
How fast a character moves is determined by a combination of quickness (QN) and movement speed (MS).
 - Quickness determines how fast a character is overall. It affects all actions, including moving, attacking, using items, and just about anything else a character can do. For that reason, if you have a choice between increasing your quickness or your movement speed, it is generally preferable to increase your quickness.
 - Movement speed is a more specialized attribute that affects only movement actions. Improving your movement speed can allow your character to move multiple spaces in a single turn (or, more commonly, to move one extra space during the course of a few turns), helping you to outrun enemies, escape dangerous situations, or keep your distance as you fight an enemy with a ranged weapon.
Mechanics[edit | edit source]
Characters generate a certain number of action points each turn equal to ten times their quickness (QN) value, or QN x 10. Each time a character moves, the character expends some or all of those action points, depending on their movement speed.
Moving consumes a number of action points equal to 100000 ÷ MS.
If your movement speed and your quickness are both equal to 100, this means that you can move exactly once per turn.
Action points generated per turn
QN × 10
Action cost of a single movement
Total movements per turn
QN × MS10,000
Increases in movement speed follows a simple logic based on how much greater it is than the base movespeed of 100. 150 movespeed means that you will move 1.5 times faster than normal. For example, with 100 quickness, you will see the following behavior as your movement speed increases:
 - 100 MS - You move 1 time each turn
 - 120 MS - You move 1.2 times each turn (6 times every 5 turns)
 - 150 MS - You move 1.5 times each turn
 - 180 MS - You move 1.8 times each turn
 - 190 MS - You move 1.9 times each turn
 - 200 MS - You move 2 times each turn
Because of this, negative decreases will have more significant impacts to how often you can move. 50 movespeed means moving 0.5 times a turn, half that of the base movespeed; However, +50 is moving 1.5 times instead of double the movespeed.
Modifying Movement Speed[edit | edit source]
These things directly modify a character's movement speed, changing the action cost of a single movement, and thus the number of movements the character may take per turn.

East Branch Indian Creek Bridge
N.M. Stark of Des Moines began building bridges for Story County in 1902 and soon became the county's only bridge builder. This trend lasted until the state legislature passed legislation in 1913 prohibiting annual bridge contracts and codifying bidding procedure. This effectively ended Stark's monopoly on bridge construction in the county; after 1913 he did not build a single bridge. But in the early 1910s he was responsible for several small- and medium-scale concrete arches, built using the patented configuration of Indianapolis engineer Daniel Luten. Stark's arches ranged in span length from 20 feet to 75 feet, and all featured the distinctive elliptical profile of Luten's design and the concrete parapets with incised rectangular panels that had become a Stark trademark.
Located southeast of Nevada in Nevada Township, the East Indian Creek Bridge was one of the arches built by Stark during this period. It was constructed for a cost of $4,462, as part of a multiple-bridge contract awarded to Stark in May 1912. With a span length of 75 feet, the Indian Creek Bridge was the longest concrete arch built by Stark in the county, excluding the Squaw Creek Bridge (since destroyed by floods) he erected in Ames in 1908. It is thus technologically significant as a long-span example of a patented structural type, constructed by the state's most prolific concrete bridge builder before the standardization of bridge design in Iowa [adapted from Fraser 1992].

death metal underground
The Ultimate Death Metal Resource
Death Metal Search Engine
Dismember - Like an Ever-Flowing Stream...
Review: Swedish death metal became famous for its phrases of destruction interrupted by thunderous recursion, ripping themselves apart in unfolding conclusion, alternated with racing formations of fast-strummed chords flowing liquid and rhythmic like the energies that replenish life and bring the sudden violence of death.
Dismember accentuate these qualities and build simple pieces into epics through emphasis on the release from order to deconstruction, layering driftlike afterimage guitars on the obscure fast and simple riffs blasted out in syncopation with a riveted structure of vibrations supporting the entire expression in a simultaneous chain of organic events in precision correspondence to a greater event. Songs are usually a permutation of a verse-chorus infrastructure, broken into subsections and riff-salad variants to avoid the simple ratcheting loop of that contrast, held together in the basic rhythm of the drums while guitars synchronize their rhythms closer to the brutal beating that death deserves.
Vast openings peel away levels of song and reduce simple concepts to epic importance, having ritual placement within the essence of a song. The composition of each riff takes the stream of logic that power chords provide and breaks it into rhythmic components of demise, each taking the scale apart or blasting it out in a rhythm to bend its shape: conformity of the basic to a larger and aesthetically different idea, a rearrangement toward an apocalypse where the patterns of life with be dissassembled in destruction and then the pieces recontextualized with new functions in a darker universe.
Differences in tonal motion within the chords are purely a matter of relative direction, the vectors of the syncopated motion of life put into similar patterns in energetic, vitalizing, aggressive music of survival in a postapocalyptic herd. In grim championship of destruction Dismember delight in switching their rhythms from simple walk-beats supporting informative ragged chants of verse to blasting racetrack demonisms and then closing on a blast; solos are sometimes scissoring streams of chords overlaid in somewhat chaotic arrangements creating simple melody in the mysterious harmony and yet wistful dissonance, drifting into a potential-less twist of a note, gesturing toward a direction unfound before the closure of despair.
Emerging from the past toward a future of potential design this music is a hybrid of heavy metal angst and death metal practicality and emotion, forming from explosively collisive chord structures an inner beauty and sonority through the harmonizing affinity of distorted sound shaped into melody. As a result, this music has in itself an elusive passage of transcendence in which it is forever from the mud reaching toward the stars.

A new study suggests that applying an aloe vera gel coating to pomegranate arils can significantly extend their shelf-life. Demand for pomegranate arils has risen sharply in recent years, but fruit quality deteriorates rapidly postharvest due to desiccation and browning, reducing the product's shelf-life.
Now a team at Elche's Miguel Hernández University has discovered that coating the arils in a gel based on aloe vera can improve both the commercial life and quality of the fruit. The study, results of which were reported on the Postharvest website, treated arils by immersion in a solution containing organic acids and subsequently with an aloe vera gel solution, before placing them inside plastic packages under coldstorage for 17 days.
The results revealed that fruit treated with the gel had a lower maturity index than an untreated control and that the edible coating resulted in lower ethylene concentration in the packaging head space and firmer arils. The gel did not affect the natural flavour of the arils or the internal gas composition of the package when compared to a control.
Moreover, the edible coating led to a dramatic reduction in the microbial counts, leading the research team to conclude that aloe vera gel coating could be an effective additional technology for improving the general quality of this product.

Originally Published: 2005/2/16
I've mentioned this before, but I'd like to repeat myself here to hopefully help the debunking of the age-old Japanese sentence order myth.
Many of you have probably heard this before but to review, here's how the myth goes.
An English sentence must consist of at least a subject, verb, and object in that order. However, in Japanese, the order must be subject, object, then verb.
English sentence order = [Subject] [Verb] [Object]
Japanese sentence order = [Subject] [Object] [Verb]
I can debunk this myth is 2 seconds. Let's see, is this sentence correct?
-Apple I ate.
Why, yes it is. And look, the object appears to come before the subject. Boy, that was easy.
There are several misleading things about this myth besides the fact that it's just plain incorrect. First of all, as I've partially explained in a previous post, Japanese doesn't require or even have anything equivalent to the English subject. In addition, you only need a verb to make a complete thought in Japanese.
What gets tricky is that the state-of-being verb (the English verb "to be") can be implicitly implied by a noun or adjective. That's because Japanese doesn't have an actual verb for the state-of-being.
-That [is] unfortunate.
Why Japanese doesn't have strict sentence order
In Japanese, we have things called particles that come after almost every word in the sentence to identify exactly what role that word is playing. That means that no matter where the word is in the sentence, we'll know whether it's an object, topic, identifier, target, context, etc.. The only reason sentence order is so strict in English is because without clear rules of ordering, we won't have any idea which word is supposed to play which role.
In English, sentence order changes the meaning of the sentence.
１） Dog saw Tree.
２）Tree saw Dog.
In Japanese, because of particles, no matter how you move things around, the dog is still the topic and the tree is still the object.
１） Dog[topic particle] tree[object particle] saw. = Dog saw tree.
２） Tree[object particle] dog[topic particle] saw. = Dog saw tree.
In order to really understand Japanese sentence structure, you need to break things down into clauses. A clause is the smallest part of a sentence that expresses a complete thought. As mentioned previously, in order to express a complete thought, you must have a verb or a noun/adjective that is a state-of-being. Now, the only thing you have to remember is that everything that applies to that verb must come before it. And that each clause can have only one such verb.
The verb (or state-of-being) must come at the very end of the clause
１）犬が木を見た。 – The dog saw tree.
２）木を犬が見た。 – The dog saw tree.
１）私は学生です。 – I am student.
２）学生は私です。 – The student is me.
Surprisingly, that's really the only thing you have to worry about in terms of Japanese sentence ordering. It's one of the great benefits of particles actually because sentence order no longer defines a word's function.
All of the following sentences are correct.
It is also important to realize that the farther away you get from the main verb, the more extraneous the information becomes. In sentence １, the sentence is mostly centered on the fact that the studying is done at the library while in sentence ３, the focus is on the fact that he always studies.
In order to make more complicated sentences, you can take separate clauses and combine them with either with conjunctions or by direct noun modifications. But as long as the sentence structure in each separate clause is correct, there should be no problems with sentence ordering no matter how complicated and long the sentence is.
I'm sure linguistic experts will claim I'm totally wrong and SOV is a classification, word order preference, or whatever you want to call it and doesn't technically require an "S" or "O". My original point in the article (though admittedly I was younger and more dramatic) is that this classification doesn't help SLA and in fact creates a lot of confusion and common mistakes for beginners learning Japanese as a second language.
It's a BIG stretch to say there's some equivalence to English as an SVO language. In English, saying "Ball boy hits" is grammatically incorrect. On the other hand, in Japanese, not only are both "Ball boy hits" and "Boy ball hits" grammatically correct, they have the same meaning if the particles remain unchanged regardless of order. There's a fundamental difference in the two languages that is not accurately portrayed by this misleading classification.
Furthermore, I believe the whole viewpoint of SOV vs SVO linguistically is very western-centric and not a good way to describe Japanese. If you want to prove me wrong with a mathematical proof in the style of formal language theory, that's one thing but this is far more subjective and to say one is "wrong" because it doesn't adhere to an established curriculum is short-sighted. I highly doubt linguistics created in a vacuum purely for Japanese would have taken the same approach here.


Literacy in Oman
The importance that Oman places on education is reflected by the fact that well over a quarter of the civil expenditure of the state budget is spent on the education system, though this has not always been the case. Until 1970, there were only three public schools in the country, and most other schools were Koran-based schools primarily aimed at teaching religious values. The public schools were elementary boys' schools, located in Muscat, Mutrah and Salalah. Throughout the entire country, 909 students were taught by about 30 teachers. It was not until subsequent years that a school system free of charge was introduced and became accessible to the people of Oman. This system stands out for its quality in the Arab world. However, the previous generations that did not benefit from a good school system were not forgotten in shaping current education policy.
Illiteracy – a problem of the older generation
Naturally, as the education system in Oman grew, so did the gap in education between young and old people. To address this, Sultan Qaboos established a strong adult education system in parallel to the ever-improving public education system. There are now approximately 250 adult education centers and over 180 literacy centers open to every adult citizen of Oman. Anyone who wishes to do so will be instructed in Arabic reading and writing as well as various other educational courses.
Literacy – Progress in all parts of the country
While urban populations have been quickly and effectively integrated into the education system in recent decades, the process in more rural areas have tended to be slower. Since Oman is a vast country that is sparsely populated in some areas, creating educational opportunities is often not simple in more rural areas of the country. Now more than ever, it is possible to access remote regions and promote literacy in the deserts and smaller villages and towns on oases or desert outskirts. Particularly older women are extensively using the opportunities of adult education in the country with great enthusiasm because, in the past, they had little access to education in reading and writing.

It is very difficult to learn and notice the parts of the Page of Earth (Pentacles). That is Two, Three and Four of Earth (Pentacles). These parts are fully active from the first day of man, unlike other functions, which the person must learn and develop.
Three of Earth (Pentacles) - Arcane Glyphs Tarot
Three of Earth (Pentacles) is active 24 hours a day, just like the Two of Earth (Pentacles). The difference is that the Three of Earth (Pentacles) is more busy with physical system maintenance.
It is a monotonous activity, not in-depth tests and treatments. That is, the Three of Earth (Pentacles) perform an automatic check and repair of the system.
In the event of a more unusual problem, the Three of Earth (Pentacles) do not know and can not handle.
In these cases, the problem is addressed by other parts responsible for it.
Because the operations of the Three of Earth (Pentacles) are entirely mechanical and do not require attention and intervention, intervention in this function, or an attempt to bring attention to this function, can cause damage. If a person succeeds for some reason to change something in this function, he should change all the other parts associated with this function. Otherwise, there will be damage.
The Three of Earth (Pentacles) also represent people, who usually focus on what is related to the physical world.
They will deal with what is related to their physical bodies, healthy food, healthy living, energy-saving, and so on. Usually, their lives will be filled with rutin and simplicity.
The Three of of Earth (Pentacles) enjoys health care, and may even try to persuade and influence others to act like him.
Sometimes the Three of Earth (Pentacles) tends to exaggerate his health pursuits, and it can manifest itself in various forms, sometimes even hypochondria.

National Estimates of Petitioned Status Offense Cases (Continued)
Judicial Decision and Disposition
In 1995, 50% of petitioned status offense cases handled by juvenile courts resulted in formal adjudication (figure 14).3 Ungovernability, truancy, and liquor law violation cases carried virtually the same likelihood of adjudication (figure 15). Proportionately fewer runaway cases were adjudicated. The proportion of petitioned status offense cases resulting in adjudication declined from 67% to 50% between 1986 and 1995 (table 55). There was some variation across status offense categories in the decline in the proportion of petitioned cases resulting in adjudication.
3 The remaining flow diagrams in this chapter present only proportions and not estimates of case counts because of the relatively low volumes of cases in many of the branches.

Because the panda plant is considered a novelty succulent, it can be difficult to find in nurseries or garden centers. Although, if you're lucky enough to locate one, you'll need to be even luckier that it's still in stock. So is panda plant rare?
It is absolutely not a rare plant. As a novelty succulent, the panda plant is only available as a seedling, and it's difficult to find. But it doesn't mean it can't be acquired. with the popularity of this plant for houseplant lately, you can easily purchase it from your local vendor nowadays.
The panda plant, native to Brazil, is an odd succulent that's part of the Kalanchoe genus. The strange appearance and ease of growing are what make it a sought-after indoor plant. These unusual-looking plants have thick, gray leaves that are covered in papery white blotches, giving them the namesake appearance of a panda's face. They produce bright red bell-shaped flowers in the spring, adding to their unique value.
Panda plants, with their unusual leaves and white, red or pink flowers, have found their way into many a garden, largely due to the popularity of indoor gardening. These unusual plants are a win-win for gardeners because they're not only eye-catching but also low maintenance.
The panda plant is an interesting succulent to grow, as it's one of the few that can be propagated from stem cuttings. It's a good idea to start your panda plant from a cutting or a leaf so that you can be sure you're getting a healthy plant from which you can successfully propagate more. This propagation method is fairly simple, although it requires a little extra care.
The panda plant will only grow into its iconic leafy panda face shape when the plant is getting lots of light, warmth, and water.
Panda plant care is a snap. Here's how to grow your own tasty panda plants:
- Panda plant care requires light. These sun-loving succulents do not like to be kept in the dark. A sunny location is best, but they will tolerate partial shade. Also, the leaves may develop sunburn or turn brown if exposed to direct sun for too long.
- Panda plant care involves water. Like most succulents, panda plants prefer dry soil the majority of the time. During the summer months, give them a good drink every mid-week and never let their soil dry out completely. During cooler months, water them once a month and allow the soil to dry before you water them again. Never let their roots sit in water as this can cause root rot.
So in conclusion panda plant which is a type of succulent or cacti is not a rare plant or species. It is just a rising start for indoor plants lately which might cause a shortage in stock.
Gardening is my passion and growing plants indoors has always been a stress relief for me. Grow a banana tree in my apartment once (although failed to produce bananas).

Magnet Designation Matters to Nurses | 50 States Staffing
Magnet Designation Matters to Nurses
Magnet Hospital
Once thought to be the most reliable measure of patient care and satisfaction, nurse-patient ratios have been joined by a number of other statistics that correlate with positive outcomes. Evidence suggests nurse work environments play an important role in quality patient outcomes, along with nurses' perception of the type of facility they work in. For example, hospitals that have earned a "Magnet" designation are recognized for valuing nurses' contributions, formalizing career development and training, and keeping lines of communication open. It is widely believed that workplace satisfaction is higher at these facilities than at non-Magnet hospitals. The ANCC (The American Nurses Credentialing Center) administers and awards the Magnet designation.
Although some healthcare experts may question the procedures for awarding and maintaining the Magnet designation, a Gallup survey indicated that nurses who work in Magnet facilities perceive the level of care they provide to patients as being higher than nurses who don't.
These exclusive hospitals tend to promote a high level of communication between nurses and doctors, deploy advanced medical technologies and are receptive to nurse input. Magnet facilities keep a close eye on nurse staffing burnout and typically offer health and wellness programs to enhance career satisfaction.
Nurse workplace quality is reflected in patient outcomes
The nurse workplace is under scrutiny, with hospitals, academics and institutions all looking at ways to improve patient care levels by enhancing working conditions. One case study, from McKinsey and Company, reported that improved levels of job satisfaction for nurses led to improved quality of care, reduced absentee rates, and cost savings. Although Magnet designation can require substantial investment, the hope is that it will not only enhance patient care, it will eventually earn back its investment.
50 States is a travel nursing agency that focuses on placing RNs in travel nursing jobs, in particular at Magnet facilities.
50 States staffs some of the largest health systems in Florida and more than nine Magnet facilities across the state, including popular destinations Clearwater, Tampa and St. Petersburg. Nurses in search of a traveling RN job in Florida should intensify their search in early Fall; winter is tourist season and the need for travelers in Florida rises.


Delta: The Value That Matters in Fatigue Risk Management
Noninferiority or equivalence testing are often used when comparing a novel pharmaceutical, operation, or procedure to the current standard designated as safe. Noninferiority and equivalence testing require estimates of a metric called delta: the margin of meaningful difference. Inappropriate delta margins can lead to invalid conclusions, thereby creating uncertainty about a study's scientific credibility. The authors recommend that a working group be convened with the following goals: 1) to evaluate delta values currently in use in aviation; 2) to determine if it is possible to develop a systematic, evidence-based, and replicable process to derive delta values based on statistical properties from population data, rather than a mixture of evidence- and opinion-based processes; and 3) based on the findings of the second goal, update the current delta values in use in aviation. This working group should include, at a minimum, government agencies and other key stakeholders using these values within operational settings.

Is Frozen Dead Oyster Safe to Eat in India?
Seafood is a popular choice among food enthusiasts across the globe, and India is no exception. With its vast coastline, the country offers a rich variety of seafood, including oysters. However, a common question that arises among many is whether it is safe to consume frozen dead oysters in India. This article aims to address this concern and provide a comprehensive understanding of the safety and precautions associated with consuming frozen oysters in India.
Oysters are a type of shellfish that are enjoyed both raw and cooked. They are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and proteins. However, they are also highly perishable and can harbor harmful bacteria if not handled and stored properly.
Is it Safe to Eat Frozen Dead Oysters?
Generally, it is safe to eat frozen oysters, provided they have been frozen properly and thawed under controlled conditions. Freezing oysters can kill harmful bacteria and parasites, making them safer to eat. However, it is crucial to ensure that the oysters were alive before they were frozen. Dead oysters can harbor harmful bacteria, which can lead to foodborne illnesses.
How to Ensure the Safety of Frozen Oysters?
Always buy from a reputable source: Ensure that the oysters are sourced from a reliable and certified supplier. This reduces the risk of contamination.
Check for freshness: Fresh oysters have a mild sea-like smell. If they smell strong or unpleasant, they are likely spoiled.
Proper storage: Oysters should be stored at a temperature below -18°C. Any temperature above this can lead to bacterial growth.
Proper thawing: Thaw the oysters in the refrigerator and not at room temperature. This prevents the growth of bacteria.
Cooking: Cooking oysters at the right temperature can kill harmful bacteria. The U.S. FDA recommends cooking oysters to an internal temperature of 65°C.
In conclusion, while it is generally safe to eat frozen dead oysters in India, it is essential to take certain precautions. Always ensure that the oysters are sourced from a reliable supplier, stored and thawed properly, and cooked at the right temperature. By following these guidelines, you can enjoy the unique taste of oysters without worrying about potential health risks.

January 28, 2016 — Verathon Inc. announced the launch of its new portable 3-D ultrasound instrument: BladderScan Prime. New features on the system include a touch-screen interface, live B-mode scanning and onboard self diagnostics.
Prime is designed to help reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) by reducing the use of catheters.
With one button press, Prime's VMODE technology acquires multiple scan planes inside the body, producing a three‑dimensional quantification of the bladder. Based on this quantification, the instrument automatically calculates and displays urinary bladder volume.
Promoting long and uninterrupted service, reliability is built into the BladderScan Prime system. For example, in the event of a drop, the Prime ultrasound probe has an internal mechanical diagnostic to confirm it's still working properly.
To boost accuracy among users of varying skill levels, BladderScan Prime provides simple and advanced aiming modes; immediate feedback for off-center scans and pubic bone interference; and onboard help/tutorial assistance available at any point in the exam.

I was going through Eric Lippert's latest Blog post for Guidelines and rules for GetHashCode when i hit this para:
We could be even more clever here; just as a List resizes itself when it gets full, the bucket set could resize itself as well, to ensure that the average bucket length stays low. Also, for technical reasons it is often a good idea to make the bucket set length a prime number, rather than 100. There are plenty of improvements we could make to this hash table. But this quick sketch of a naive implementation of a hash table will do for now. I want to keep it simple.
So looks like i'm missing something. Why is it a good practice to set it to a prime number?.

Say your bucket set length is a power of 2 - that makes the mod calculations quite fast. It also means that the bucket selection is determine solely by the top m bits of the hash code. (Where m = 32 - n, where n is the power of 2 being used). So it's like you're throwing away useful bits of the hashcode immediately.
Or as in this blog post from 2006 puts it:
Suppose your hashCode function results in the following hashCodes among others {x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x...}, then all these are going to be clustered in just m number of buckets, where m = table_length/GreatestCommonFactor(table_length, x). (It is trivial to verify/derive this). Now you can do one of the following to avoid clustering:
Or simply make m equal to the table_length by making GreatestCommonFactor(table_length, x) equal to 1, i.e by making table_length coprime with x. And if x can be just about any number then make sure that table_length is a prime number.

I know this is resurrecting an old thread, but your first paragraph confuses me. Consider your power of 2 to be 128, in this case hash%128 will be the same as hash&127, which means only the last 7 bits are going to decide the bucket selection. Or is my understanding wrong? – jogabonito Feb 21 at 7:33

Because this produces a better hash function and reduces the number of possible collisions. This is explained in Choosing a good hashing function:
A basic requirement is that the function should provide a uniform distribution of hash values. A non-uniform distribution increases the number of collisions, and the cost of resolving them.
The distribution needs to be uniform only for table sizes s that occur in the application. In particular, if one uses dynamic resizing with exact doubling and halving of s, the hash function needs to be uniform only when s is a power of two. On the other hand, some hashing algorithms provide uniform hashes only when s is a prime number.

+1 thats a good answer... but then don't we loose the number of hashes we can have within a given range... – Shekhar_Pro Mar 1 '11 at 8:44

You can find people that suggest the two opposite ends of the spectrum. On the one side, choosing a prime number for the size of the hash table will reduce the chances of collisions, even if the hash function is not too effective distributing the results. Note that if (in the simplest example to argue about) a power of 2 size is decided, only the lower bits affect the bucket, while for a prime number most bits in the result of the hash will be used.
On the other hand, you can gain more by choosing a better hash function, or even rehashing he result of the hash function by applying some bit operations, and using a power of 2 hash size to speed up calculations.
As an example from real life, Java HashTable were initially implemented by using prime (or almost prime sizes), but from Java 1.4 on, the design was changed to use power of two number of buckets and added a second fast hash function applied to the result of the initial hash. An interesting article commenting that change can be found here.
So basically:
 - a prime number helps dispersing the inputs across the different buckets even in the event of not-so-good hash functions.
 - a similar effect can be achieved by post processing the result of the hash function, and using a power of 2 size to speedup the modulo operation (bit mask) and compensate for the post processing.

FAQ
Can I microdose while I'm on antibiotics?
No, it is not wise to microdose if you use antibiotics. Your brain contains many neurons, which communicate through synapses. If you combine medicines and microdosings, the combination can be disrupted by stimuli and damping. This has to do with the neurotransmitters that are active. In addition, your immune system can respond to the use of microdosings. That may mean that you feel warm, sick or poor.
Different combinations will not stand in the way. Always consult a doctor if you think of microdosing, while using antibiotics or other medicines. Moreover, it is a good idea to drink enough water if you want microdos.


Different Areas, Times, People, Truths
 1. Churchwork
 Over the two thousand years of church history, various churches have been raised up at different times. This we may call the cause of time. Then as churches have been formed in different areas, area has become a cause. Also, with the raising up of different human instruments used in the planting of churches, people have become a cause. In addition to these three causes of time, area, and person, there is further the cause of emphasis on a particular truth in the Bible. The Word of God contains so many aspects of truth that people tend to establish churches based on one special truth. Maybe in a certain area there arises a special need and someone comes forth with a particular emphasis on one aspect of truth.

Which format has the smallest file size?
JPGOn the web, JPG is the clear choice for photo images (smallest file, with image quality being less important than file size), and GIF is common for graphic images, but indexed color is not normally used for color photos (PNG can do either on the web).
Does cropping reduce file size word?
Instead, cropping means that you are simply telling Word how much of the original graphic you want displayed. If the graphic is embedded in the document, then cropping it is not a way to reduce file size because the full, complete graphic is still saved with the document.
What is better JPEG PNG or TIFF?
The PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format comes close to TIFF in quality and is ideal for complex images. Unlike JPEG, TIFF uses a lossless compression algorithm in order to preserve as much quality in the image. … The more detail you require in graphics, the better PNG is for the task.
Are GB bigger than KB?
There are (from largest to smallest): Gigabytes(GB), Megabytes(MB), Kilobytes(KB), Bytes and Bit. But that really doesn't tell you much other than a gigabyte is bigger than a kilobyte.
Is KB bigger than MB in file size?
1 KB (Kilobyte) is equal to 0.001 MB in decimal and 0._PHONE_ MB in binary. It also means that 1 megabyte is equal to 1000 kilobytes in decimal and 1024 kilobytes in binary. … 576 bytes in binary. So as you can see, a Megabyte is one thousand times bigger than a Kilobyte.

Did You Know This is a Survival Tree?
Did You Know This is a Survival Tree?
It's no surprise that trees are useful in survival situations. They offer us shelter from the rain, fuel for our fires, and some trees produce fruits or nuts that we can eat. However, this tree may come as a surprise.
The willow tree is usually found in damp, swampy climates and can provide you with water when tapped for this reason. The willow tree also contains a compound known as salicin, which is the active ingredient in aspirin, offering natural pain relief.
Thanks to the willow tree's flexible yet strong bark and branches, it can be used to make fishing traps for shellfish and fish alike. The branches can also be used to make bows.
The thinner branches on a willow tree that give it its iconic name can be braided into strong cordage. The willow can also provide you with a quick shelter to help you stay dry in the rain.
Feel like you may have a cold coming on? Check out this tree that can help soothe your cough so you can get back to whatever you need to be doing.

We know Muggle parents can have a magical child, but could magical parents have a Muggle child?
Depends what you mean by 'Muggle'.
A Squib is a person with no magical powers born to magical parents. They fall somewhere in between a wizard and a Muggle: while unable to actually perform magic, they can still access the magical world. From the Pottermore fact file:
Humans with little or no magical talent born into wizarding families, who are looked down on by the wizarding world
Appearance: Usually dressed like the rest of wizard-kind
Magic Abilities: Able to access the wizarding world, unlike Muggles, and can use certain magical objects and creatures
We even see a couple of these in the main HP stories: Argus Filch, the unpleasant janitor of Hogwarts, and Arabella Figg, the cat-loving neighbour of the Dursleys. But according to Ron, they're not very common:
A Squib is someone who was born into a wizarding family but hasn't got any magic powers. Kind of the opposite of Muggle-born wizards, but Squibs are quite unusual.

Unlike the other phases, only the first player acts in the Mythos Phase (check the first sentence about the Mythos phase in the rulebook page 9)
In your example you'd have 10 turns each before the GOO (Great Old One) awakens. Some caveats:
- 10 is just a sample number, various GOO's have between 7 and 14 tokens allowed.
- Not all Mythos cards open a gate (Rumors for example).
- There may already be a gate there (no Doom token is placed).
- Gates can open via other circumstances (these also generate a Doom token).
You can never be quite sure how many turns you have left. That's one of the great things about Arkham Horror.
The terror track is completely different. The main way that it advances is due to having too many monsters in the outskirts. It is pretty rare to fill the terror track, but you will see a building or two close fairly often.
For two players, you are allowed 6 monsters in the outskirts; if there are any more, then dump them and increment the terror track. (Note that 8 less the number of players is always the maximum number of monsters allowed in the outskirts.)
