A number of protocols for working with Indigenous communities and Indigenous culture and heritage have been developed. The protocols provide a best practice model for artists.
It is important to be aware that Indigenous protocols cannot answer all the questions you may be faced with, as every Indigenous community, organisation and individual is different. However, Indigenous protocols are an excellent resource as they provide:
- a starting point for solving problems,
- a set of guidelines and principles to help you think about a project or the nature of collaboration,
- questions to ask the Indigenous participants, and
- legal and non-legal issues to be considered.
There are a number of different types of Indigenous protocols:
- Protocols for artists and those working with them
- Protocols for arts dealers
- Protocols and information for consumers
- Protocols for cultural institutions
- Protocols for the media
- Protocols for language projects
The Australia Council for the Arts published a set of Indigenous protocol guides in 2002, written by Indigenous lawyers Robynne Quiggin and Terri Janke. Those protocols provide information and advice on respecting Indigenous culture and heritage.
There are five sets of protocols specific to the following Indigenous art forms:
Arts Tasmania - Respecting Cultures, Working with the Tasmanian Aboriginal Community and Aboriginal Artists
This publication provides a specific Tasmanian perspective as a companion text for the Australia Council's protocols. Respecting Cultures promotes greater awareness of the protocols needed to ensure that Aboriginal artists are acknowledged and their intellectual property and culture is respected and protected.
National Association for the Visual Arts – Valuing Art, Respecting Culture: Protocols for Working With the Australian Indigenous Visual Arts and Craft Sector
This document sets out protocols both to guide non-Indigenous people in their relationships with Indigenous artists and communities, and assist Indigenous artists to define their rights.
The IAACCC is a voluntary code to regulate the conduct of participants in the Indigenous art industry. Its main aims are to ensure fair and ethical trade with artists, transparency with the promotion and sale of artwork as well as a fair and equitable dispute resolution system for disputes arising under the code. The Indigenous Art Code Limited, a public company, was founded to administer the IAACCC.
The City of Melbourne has developed a code of practice for galleries and retailers of Indigenous art. The code is a guide outlining ethical and appropriate ways to display and sell authentic Indigenous art and work with Indigenous artists.
National Indigenous Consumer Strategy - Taking Action, Gaining Trust: National Indigenous Consumer Strategy – Action Plan 2010-2013
The National Indigenous Consumer Strategy (NICS) was developed by the Standing Committee of Officials of Consumer Affairs (SCOCA), who represents all the Commonwealth, State and Territory government consumer protection agencies. The NCIS aims at improving the consumer outcomes of Indigenous Australians by encouraging consumer protection agencies to share information and education materials, collaborating in the enforcement of consumer rights and laws, and co-ordinating research, policy development and consumer education initiatives. The NCIS was originally created in 2005 as a three year strategy. However an updated action plan for 2010-2013 has recently been developed.
Australian Government, Department of Environment and Heritage – Welcome to Country: Respecting Indigenous Culture for Travellers in Australia
This information brochure is aimed at providing travellers in Australia with some key protocols to follow in order to ensure respect for Indigenous culture. It is framed around three main principles:
- Relationship – Recognise Indigenous people's relationship and connection to the land.
- Responsibility – Acknowledge the ongoing responsibility Indigenous people have to their country, and recognise your own responsibility to travel thoughtfully.
- Respect – Respect Aboriginal beliefs associated with country and culture. As a visitor, respect the wishes of your hosts and and restrictions that you have been asked to observe.
These resource guidelines are aimed at assisting cultural institutions in developing links with the broader community. They are intended to be used to support non-Indigenous cultural heritage workers in small museums throughout Australia who wish to work with culturally diverse communities, including Indigenous communities.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Library and Information Resources Network (ATSILIRN) – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Protocols for Libraries, Archives and Information Services
The ATSILIRN Protocols are intended to guide libraries, archives and information services in appropriate ways to interact with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the communities which the organisations serve, and to handle materials with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander content.
They are a guide to good practice which will need to be interpreted and applied in the context of each organisation's mission, collections and client community.
Intellectual Property Research Institute of Australia (IPRIA) - Cultural Institutions, Law and Indigenous Knowledge: A Legal Primer on the Management of Australian Indigenous Collections
This document examines some of the legal issues which arise for cultural institutions and other bodies in the acquisition, use and reproduction of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural material. The term 'cultural material' is used broadly to refer to collection items that reproduce, record or depict Indigenous people, cultures, knowledge and experiences; in some cases, this is highly sensitive of restricted information. It includes artistic outputs and archival research material.
Australian Institute for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) - Guide for Ethical Research in Indigenous Studies
The AIATSIS guidelines provide recommendations and suggestions for achieving the best standards of ethical research in Indigenous studies. The document is laid out with a series of principles, which are accompanied by a brief definition and some practical applications.
Australian National Maritime Museum (ANMM) - Connections: Indigenous Cultures and the Australian National Maritime Museum
The ANMM's Indigenous protocols provide guidance on Indigenous issues that can impact on museum programs and procedures. It aims to help the ANMM and other institutions interpret Indigenous cultures authentically and respectfully.
Museums Australia – Continuing Cultures, Ongoing Responsibilities: principles and guidelines for Australian Museums working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage.
The Continuing Cultures, Ongoing Responsibilities document is intended to guide museums and galleries in framing their own procedures for dealing with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the management of their cultural heritage.
The Collections Australia guide provides a practical tool for land developers, land users and managers, cultural heritage professionals and many others who may have an impact on Indigenous heritage. This title – 'Ask First' is intended to highlight the guides focus on consultation and negotiation with Indigenous stakeholders as being key to addressing heritage issues.
Screen Australia (Terri Janke) – Pathways and Protocols: A filmmaker's guide to working with Indigenous people, culture and concepts
Screen Australia's guide provides comprehensive information for all filmmakers working with Indigenous content and communities, providing advice about the ethical and legal issues involved when transferring Indigenous cultural material to the screen. The guide includes information on documentary and drama productions, including short dramas, feature films and television drama. Drawing upon real case studies as practical examples, the guide assists and encourages recognition and respect for the images, knowledge and stories of Indigenous people.
This protocol is for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and their consultants working together to produce language materials, for example linguists, schools and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) specialists. The FATSIL guide covers protocols for producing language materials at a local level, rather than through one of the major publishing houses.
The aim of this protocol is to encourage positive working relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and their consultants. Any language materials produced should recognise the cultural and intellectual property rights of the language community. The FATSIL protocol accompanies, and should be read in conjunction with, the model language agreement prepared by the Arts Law Centre of Australia

First Non-Stop Transatlantic Flight from New York City to Lithuania July 15, 1933
Exhibit depicts a philatelic story of one of the first non-stop transatlantic flights from North America to Europe which took place on July 15th, 1933. Darius-Girenas flight was the second longest distance-wise flight in the history of aviation at the time and fourth longest time-wise. The flight also had tremendous philatelic significance: with permits from both US Postmaster General and Lithuanian Government, it carried the first official Transatlantic air mail consignment in history. Despite the tragic ending to the flight leading to death of both pilots, the air mail consignment survived and was delivered to the intended recipients.


Getting out and about: Town centres and shops
As lockdown restrictions are lifted and people gradually find their feet with the new normal what exactly does this mean for the VI community? Whether it's accessing public transport or navigating town centres it's time to admit that, yes things are different but this by no means suggests any changes are insurmountable.
Here we take a look at what to expect when going into town centres and visiting shops;
Many local councils are implementing changes to pavement and road layouts to improve opportunities for social distancing, and because all our towns and cities vary in layout, age and pedestrianisation the adaptions made vary from street to street and town to town.
Possible adaptations are;
 - pavement areas being widened by temporarily blocking off parking bays or one lane of traffic.
 - floor markings denoting spacings and direction of travel to their pedestrian areas
 - signs on lampposts to denote direction of travel and to remind people to maintain 2m social distancing.
Now that restrictions are lifting and more shops are able to open you may be venturing out for the first time since lockdown started, some things to be aware of when visiting shops and businesses are;
 - to maintain social distancing, shops and businesses are limiting the number of people who can go in, this means there are often queues outside whilst people wait. Larger shops will have a member of staff on the door to instruct people and provide assistance such as at supermarkets. Smaller shops and businesses such as banks or post offices will probably not have a person on the door and rely on signage which will instruct how many people can be in the shop at one time.
 - places may have adapted their entrances to distance people entering from those leaving, or there may be previously unused doors used being used to distance people.
 - some shops and businesses will have one-way systems marked by arrows to control the flow of people around the premises.
 - there are now often clear Perspex barriers in place to protect the cashier at the till or counter, this may mean that card machines are in a different place.
As a VI community how can we adapt to this? Keep things simple…
If the new layout is likely to cause problems maybe there is someone in your household or if you're a lone adult, a support household that you can bubble with who could accompany as necessary for as many trips as required to learn the new geography.
Alternatively, if you have no option but to travel alone be sure to use your preferred mobility aid whether that be a guide dog or a cane. This had the double advantage of protecting you from hazards but also tells Joe Public you have a sight issue that would make social distancing/directional travel difficult.
Lastly, ASK! If you are unsure about a new layout on the roads or in a shop, ask someone to explain what the layout is and they should help, these new changes ca be confusing for all of us and we are all learning new ways of navigating town centres and shops.
Here's what Chris our Sustainability manager says after a recent visit to Huddersfield Town Centre;
'Just a quick note about Huddersfield town centre. There are extra barriers up on New Street and Market Street to extend the pavements so people can socially distance. Also, there are arrows on the paving stones along New Street asking people to use it as a one-way system. Obviously Kirklees highways have not considered people with sight loss in their plans. We are highlighting this here to alert you as things may be different when you go into the town centre. Dewsbury or Batley will have made similar changes, so it might be worth checking before you travel.'
This article describes some of the changes put into place in Huddersfield and Dewsbury Town Centre's.
We will keep you updated as any changes come into place that may affect the VI community.

Symbolic meaning of number thirteen is surrounded with controversy. Is it lucky? Unlucky? Only you can decide for yourself this post and my other more detailed page on thirteen may help you with your decision.
For those of you who want fast, quick references, the following attributes have been associated with the number thirteen:
This snapshot of meanings comes from a variety of different sources.
Its primary claim to foreboding fame is the number thirteen's association with the Last Supper in Christian history. There were thirteen people present at this gathering, the Christ and his twelve disciples.
In France the number thirteen referred to as le point de Judas, to mark Judas's betrayal of Christ. This term also suggests an omen as Judas was the first to leave the table at the Last Supper, and also the first to die. Also in France it is still the practice to hire a quartorzieme, or a fourteenth guest to a dinner party if only thirteen were in the original total. This is said to assure a problem-free event.
The letter "m" is the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and was said to bring bad luck because it is the beginning and end of the word mem which means death.
Interestingly, the number thirteen is assigned to the Death card in the Tarot deck. Here the number takes on a meaning of transition, surrender, and recycling. More information on this can be found on the number thirteen death card page.
On a more positive note, the number thirteen is sacred and honored in ritualistic practices in many Native American tribes.
The Aztecs also hold the number thirteen sacred and divided their week into thirteen days. Each day is ruled by a god. The thirteenth day is ruled by Tezcatlipoca, who represents: Mystery, Psyche, Illusion and Magic.
Similarly, within ancient European cultures as well as earth-based religions it is well known there are thirteen moons in a year. Here the thirteen is aligned with all the associations of the moon: Emotion, Cycles, Intuition, Mystery, Devotion, and Influence.
It is also seen as a sign of good fortune in ancient Greece where it is associated with the Zeus because he is the thirteenth and most powerful of Greek gods.

STRAWSCRAPER – an urban power plant
STRAWSCRAPER is an extension of Söder Torn on Södermalm in Stockholm. With its new energy producing shell covered in straws the building can now recover wind energy and thus works as an urban powerplant. What was originally planned to become a building of 40 flights became 26. Söder Torn was finalized in 1997, however, the architect Henning Larsen had already left the contract after having lost influence over the design of the tower.
Belatchew Arkitekter wants to give Söder Torn its original proportions and at the same time explore new techniques that could create the urban wind farm of the future. By using piezoelectric technology a large number of thin straws can produce electricity merely through small movements generated by the wind. The result is a new kind of wind power plant that opens up possibilities of how buildings can produce energy. With the help of this technique, surfaces on both old and new buildings can be transformed into energy producing entities. Furthermore, an additional aspect is revealed when the constant movement of the straws creates an undulating landscape on the facades. What is usually considered to be the most static of all things, the building, suddenly comes alive and the construction gives the impression of a body that is breathing. The straws swaying in the wind gives the building a constantly changing facade further reinforced at nighttime with lighting in changing colors.
The straws of the facade consist of a composite material with piezoelectric properties that can turn motion into electrical energy. Piezoelectricity is created when the deformation of certain crystals is transformed into electricity. The technique has advantages when compared to traditional wind turbines since it is quiet and does not disturb wildlife. It is operable at low wind velocity since only a light breeze is sufficient for the straws to start swaying and generate energy. The existing premise on top of the building is replaced with a public floor with room for a restaurant. The new extension creates, apart from the energy producing shell, room for the citizens with the possibility to reach a lookout platform at the very top of the tower. Here you will be able to enjoy an unmatched view of Stockholm.

Buildings designed in the Brutalist style—raw concrete fronted structures built between the 1950s and 1980s—are often overlooked gems among Toronto's diverse urban landscape. Blue Crow Media, in partnership with local heritage specialists ERA Architects have teamed up to create the "Concrete Toronto Map"—a guide to forty-seven of the city's most notable concrete structures. The two-sided guide features original photography by Jason Woods and a map that details where to find it all, along with details of the structures' significance and heritage.
What began as a post-war experimental medium in Toronto and elsewhere, concrete is found in most of the structures we interact with daily, but it's not always expressed on the exterior of buildings, and is most often covered with other materials. The Concrete Toronto Map celebrates the buildings that celebrate the medium, usually where care has been taken to leave patterns and texture. From clustered concrete tower blocks, like Viljo Revell's New City Hall to the sculptural structures like the University of Toronto's Robarts Library by Warner, Burns, Toan & Lunde, the map highlights the buildings that remain as symbols of the brutalist period. The Concrete Toronto Map joins an existing series from the publisher which includes Chicago, Tokyo, and several other major cities.
As many concrete and Brutalist buildings around the world are either being demolished or under threat, this map seeks to highlight and solidify the role of concrete architecture in Toronto's celebrated cityscape. A statement from the editor reads "Toronto is beginning to redefine itself through its concrete heritage – the fabric of our post-war growth – the architecture of our schools, universities, libraries and mass housing. Many are developing a cult following as a new type of landmark; and some are finding a second life through new investments and restorations. However, most are under threat. This map provides a calling card at this crucial moment of the city's understanding of its concrete legacy."
The Concrete Toronto Map is available through Blue Crow Media's website. Have a particular interest in brutalist architecture? Let us know by leaving a comment in the space provided below.

2. You shall have to inform what you want to inform by fuiling application through lawyer,
3. Your informing his not enough. You shall have to sustantiate what you are saying through evidence,
4. So, go to the police station and negotiate with the I.O. and try to record his admission that he had seized your passport before, which he had not submitted before the Court,
5. After audio recording the admission of the IO, you send him a letter by speedpost calling upon him to return the passport to you or submit before the Court,
6. On the date of the next hearing, you submit the latter written to the IO alongwith the audio recorded evidence of his admission that he had already confiscated your passport,
7. In fact your lawyer should have informed the Court at the time the bail order was passed or in the bail petition that the passport has already been seized by the police.

You can help foster resilience to piracy
We can help seafarers be more resilient to pirate attacks. This is the view of Dr. Michael Stuart Garfinkle of SCI who has published the first clinical study of piracy's effect on seafarers.
Better coordination to enhance resilience, identifying resources available to seafarers and improved access to those resources would go a long way to reduce seafarers' suffering from the long-term effects of trauma, he said. In an article published by the Seamen' s Church Institute of New York and New Jersey, Garfinkle writes:
Maritime piracy represents the single greatest risk to the seafaring community—not because of its prevalence, but because of the potential magnitude of traumatic experience. Resilience describes how we get through the stressors of everyday life, how we survive tragedy and how we recover from traumatic experience. If we think of traumatic experiences as those that interrupt our ability to think, disturb our feelings and make us feel overwhelmed, resilience is the counterforce that minimizes the impact of trauma. Extensive trauma, both in terms of length and intensity, especially tests resilience. Where there are direct threats to life, outcomes tend to be worse.
As a process, resilience is possible at the individual and community level. An individual can be supported in coping, in using available help from loved ones and professionals and in returning to purpose in life. Many seafarers come from supportive families and communities, and the literature on resilience and surviving traumatic experience suggests that acceptance by peers improves outcomes.
You can help foster resilience by accepting a person's temporary weakness due to difficult experience.
- Accept that their suffering is normal.
- See expressions of pain as opportunities to render help.

Comprehensive risk assessment of groundwater drawdown induced subsidence
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2019
We present a method for risk assessment of groundwater drawdown induced land subsidence when planning for sub-surface infrastructure. Since groundwater drawdown and related subsidence can occur at large distances from the points of inflow, the large spatial extent often implies heterogeneous geological conditions that cannot be described in complete detail. This calls for estimation of uncertainties in all components of the cause-effect chain with probabilistic methods. In this study, we couple four probabilistic methods into a comprehensive model for economic risk quantification: a geostatistical soil-stratification model, an inverse calibrated groundwater model, an elasto-plastic subsidence model, and a model describing the resulting damages and costs on individual buildings and constructions. Groundwater head measurements, hydraulic tests, statistical analyses of stratification and soil properties and an inventory of buildings are inputs to the models. In the coupled method, different design alternatives for risk reduction measures are evaluated. Integration of probabilities and damage costs result in an economic risk estimate for each alternative. Compared with the risk for a reference alternative, the best prior alternative is identified as the alternative with the highest expected net benefit. The results include spatial probabilistic risk estimates for each alternative where areas with significant risk are distinguished from low-risk areas. The efficiency and usefulness of this modelling approach as a tool for communication to stakeholders, decision support for prioritization of risk reducing measures, and identification of the need for further investigations and monitoring are demonstrated with a case study of a planned railway tunnel in Varberg, Sweden.

i believe that TV and books are equal.
books need light to read but TV includes light,there can be sound and you can sometimes pause it. my uncle, Des, is sadly blind so he listens to the TV because he cant read books. A reason about books is you can visualise the word and it helps you learn.
another reason for TV is easier than reading a book because you have to learn to read and it takes time to develop reading but with TV there are 3 easy steps: 1.sit 2.turn on 3. watch.
That also means reading a book is like a reward for learning.
That's why i am unsure if books are better than TV.

The Landsat satellites have been gathering data about Earth for 40 years - the first one was launched in 1972. The images in this gallery have been coloured with a digital palette by the US Geological Survey to highlight certain features.
Siberian Ribbons - June 15th, 2005 - Vivid colors and bizarre shapes come together in an image that could be an abstract work of art or an illustration for a fantasy story. This labyrinth of exotic features is present along the edge of Russia's Chaunskaya Bay (vivid blue half circle) in northeastern Siberia. Two major rivers, the Chaun and Palyavaam, flow into the bay, which in turn opens into the Arctic Ocean. Ribbon lakes and bogs are present throughout the area, created by depressions left by receding glaciers.

Liersch, S.; Fournet, S.; Koch, H.; Djibo, A.G.; Reinhardt, J.; Kortlandt, J.; Van Weert, F.; Seidou, O.; Klop, E.; Baker, C. and F.F.Hattermann (2019). Water resources planning in the Upper Niger River basin: Are there gaps between water demand and supply? Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies 21, 176-194.
The growing demand for food, water, and energy led Mali and Guinea to develop ambitious hydropower and irrigation plans, including the construction of a new dam and the extension of irrigation schemes. These two developments will take place upstream of sensible ecosystem hotspots while the feasibility of development plans in terms of water availability and sustainability is questionable. Where agricultural development in past decades focused mainly on intensifying dry-season crops cultivation, future plans include extension in both the dry and wet seasons.
Today's irrigation demand corresponds to 7% of the average annual Niger discharge and could account to one third in 2045. An extension of irrigated agriculture is possible in the wet season, while extending dry-season cropping would be largely compromised with the one major existing Sélingué dam. An additional large Fomi or Moussako dam would not completely satisfy dry-season irrigation demands in the 2045 scenario but would reduce the estimated supply gap from 36% to 14%. However, discharge peaks may decrease by 40% reducing the inundated area in the Inner Niger Delta by 21%, while average annual discharge decreases by 30%. Sustainable development should therefore consider investments in water-saving irrigation and management practices to enhance the feasibility of the envisaged irrigation plans instead of completely relying on the construction of a flow regime altering dam.

Why is Pomp and Circumstance Always Played at Graduations?
Nathan K. asks: How did Pomp and Circumstance get to be the tune always played at graduations?
Every year, hundreds of thousands of students march across a stage in a gown and a squared hat to receive a piece of paper that says they've completed a particular phase in their education. This school graduation will undoubtedly be marked by cheering, proud adults, and, particularly in North America, the playing of the seminal marching tune "Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1." So, why is Pomp and Circumstance played at seemingly every graduation?
We should probably kick things off by discussing the name itself- "pomp and circumstance" simply is a phrase for a ceremony or display of splendor or stateliness. It comes from the Latin "pompa," meaning "procession," and "circumstantia," meaning "standing around." A procession of standing around doesn't make much sense until one follows the evolution of the meaning "circumstantia." In the 13th century, the word was used in reference to "a particular detail, matter of small consequence." But a century later, in the 1300s, somehow it literally reversed its meaning to be defined as "something of great importance or accomplishment."
Like so many other phrases, the credit for the first to coin this one is generally given to William Shakespeare, though in many cases it is thought he was just using existing phrases that we simply don't have earlier surviving examples of today. Whatever the case, in Act 3, Scene 3 of his 1604 play "Othello," the title character notes
Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump,
The spirit-stirring drum, th'ear-piercing fife,
The royal banner, and all quality,
Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
From there, the phrase seemed to take on an almost sarcastic quality, often used as a way to make fun or point to the belief that someone or something thinks of themselves as overly important.
Flash forward three centuries later, in 1901, one Edward Elgar had already made a name for himself as one of the premier English musical composers of his day. Despite this, as so many musicians and artists before him, Elgar was struggling financially, unable to translate critically-acclaimed works into money-making successes.
Knowing that people love a good military march, he composed two (of what would end up being five) marches that he called "Pomp and Circumstance," pulling the title from the line in Othello.
As for the most famous of these, March No. 1, legend has it that Elgar told a friend, Dora Penny, that "I've got a tune that will knock 'em – knock 'em flat! … a tune like that comes once in a lifetime." Whether he actually said this or not, "Pomp and Circumstance" March No. 1 in D was first performed on October 19, 1901 by the Liverpool Orchestral Society. This debut performance was reportedly met with a standing ovation, which was nothing compared to when it was played three days later in London.
After the first go-around, the ecstatic audience would not let the rest of the concert go on until the tune was played two more times. (And, note, this sort of non-passive audience used to be the norm, even during symphonies, contrary to what generally happens at such events today, see: Has There Ever Been an Actual Case of Someone Being Pelted With Tomatoes During a Performance?)
This event was, according to the London performance's conductor, Henry J. Wood, the first time in that particular theater's history that a double encore was ever done.
In November of that year, Elgar was approached by famed English contralto Clara Butt who asked him to compose a finale for her performance with a full chorus at the crowning of King Edward VII later that summer.
Sparing himself extra work, Elgar used the very same march he'd composed that was such a hit. He did add lyrics to it, thanks to poet Arthur Christopher Benson. Called "Land of Hope and Glory," Benson's lyrics extol the virtues of the British crown and empire. The march, coupled with lyrics and Butt singing, was all set to premiere on June 30th at King Edward VII's coronation, but the king fell ill and the ceremony was delayed until August 9th.
In meantime, Elgar put together four more marches and produced sellable versions of them. By August, he was already making good money off this. When it was finally played at the coronation of the new King and Queen, Elgar was on his way to finally making his fortune.
Thanks to the music's prominence in the coronation, Elgar became internationally famous. Fairly quickly, in part because of its use at the coronation of the King and Queen, the march became immensely popular with American orchestras, particularly played with great frequency in Chicago.
Coming back around to why Pomp and Circumstance is played during graduation ceremonies, in 1905, Elgar was invited to the United States by a friend, Professor of Music Samuel Sanford, to receive an honorary degree from Yale University. Hailed as "England's foremost musician," he outshone the 12 others who were also receiving honorary degrees from the revered American university that day.
Upon completion of the ceremony, the entire group left the stage to the tune of "Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1" in honor of Elgar. This is the first known time that the tune was played at a school graduation.
The uplifting song was noted by other colleges and played at graduations, including at Princeton in 1907 and University of Chicago in 1908.
According to the Elgar Research Center, it was the 1920s when "Pomp and Circumstance" became the norm at college graduations across the United States, though it's unclear when it shifted from being a recessional to a processional (entering) song.
Today, the lyrical version of the march (Land of Hope and Glory) is one of England's most famous songs, even considered by some to be something of a second national anthem. In the United States, the march – sans lyrics – is also played thousands of times a year while students march down the aisles in anticipation of receiving their diplomas.

Middle Ground Coastal Battery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A close-up of the coastal battery
The Middle Ground Coastal Battery is a heritage site of an antique coastal gun battery managed by the Indian Navy on an islet off the coast of Mumbai, India. It is situated on Middle Ground isle in Mumbai Harbour, a few hundred metres away from the Gateway of India, in Thane Creek.
The Middle Ground Coastal Battery was once part of a reef, like the nearby Oyster Rock. Middle Ground islet is a piece of hard basalt rock, emerging from the creek bed, having an area of a few hundred square metres.
The island was fortified in 1682 by the British East India Company to curb the sea piracy in the area. Later a marine police force of Bhandaris was stationed on the islet to keep an eye on the pirates who used to board ships. The Bhandaris were chosen for their honesty and local knowledge. They had a distinctive uniform of yellow turbans and blue trousers. After piracy moved to the South China Sea, about two hundred years ago, the police were disbanded and the rock passed into the control of the Royal Navy (RN), and from thence to the Royal Indian Navy (RIN) and eventually to the Indian Navy (IN).
The RIN added to the fortifications with the use of cannons and later on three anti-aircraft guns to protect the harbour from a perceived Japanese invasion during World War II. The AA guns were eventually removed, but the deep cylindrical mountings of the old guns still remain.
Current use[edit]
The island is manned by a staff of eight sailors of the Indian Navy who keep in touch with the mainland through radio communications. Currently the island serves as the saluting base to the Flag Officer Commander-in-Chief (FOC-in-C) of the Western Naval Command. The old cannons are ceremonially fired along with a bugle call when a new FOC-in-C takes office or when a naval ship returns to its home port in the harbour after an extended deployment.
The edifice stores artefacts of the colonial era such as ceramic bathtubs, etc. A maritime museum occupied a portion of the isle, but it was shut down in 2000 with the exhibits moving to the maritime museum of the decommissioned aircraft carrier INS Vikrant (R11) when it was opened to the public. Ensigns of old naval ships are still stored on the isle.
The islet is difficult to visit owing to the problems faced while berthing during low tide. The Navy has been offered many lucrative deals for the obsidian isle, but selling it would heavily compromise the security of warships berthed at Naval Jetties.

How low can you go? Why signal to noise ratios are important in programming high voltage power supplies.
Virtually all Spellman power supplies are programmable; usually a 0 to 10 volt ground referenced analog programming signal is proportional to 0 to 100% of full scale rate voltage and/or current. Modular supplies typically only accept a remotely provided signal, while rack units also have front panel mounted multi-turn potentiometers to provide local programming capability.
Let's look at two example units, where 0 to 10 volts of voltage programming equates to 0 to 100% of output voltage. The first unit is an SL100P300 (100kV maximum) and the second unit is an SL1P300 (1kV maximum).
If a rather low output voltage of 100 volts was desired, let's look at the level of programming voltage each unit requires.
|(100/100,000) (10) = 10mV
|(100/1000) (10) = 1 volt
The SL100P300 needs a programming signal of 10mV, while the SL1P300 needs a programming signal of 1 volt to achieve the same 100 volt output.
Noise is present in most electrical systems; it's the low level background signal that is due to switching regulators, clock circuits and the like. Ideally zero noise would be desired, but some amount is present and must be dealt with. In a power supply like the SL Series 25mV of background noise on the analog control lines is not uncommon. Ideally we would like to have the programming signal as large as possible, so the noise signal has the least amount of influence. Let's see how that noise affects the signals of our two example power supplies.
|Signal = 10mV
|Signal = 1000mV (1 volt)
|Noise = 25mV
|Noise = 25mV
|s/n ratio: signal is smaller than noise!
|s/n ratio: signal is 40X larger than noise
It's easy to see that getting a stable, repeatable 100 volt output from the SL100P300 will be quite difficult, while this is easy to do with the SL1P300.
When low output voltages are needed think about the programming signals required and how they compare to the system noise levels. Doing so will provide a stable, repeatable output where noise has minimal effect.

In SCEC code-comparison exercise, the results of TPV25 are quite different when the conditions at the fault junction are changed. The connected branch fault allows the rupture to slip at the junction and thus has ability to fully rupture. Does pylith supports such connected branch fault model?
PyLith can handle T intersections of faults.
Typically for a fault branch, we create the main (through-going) fault first and then the branch fault. The branch fault must be clamped (no slip) at its intersection with the main fault. The clamping is done by including the intersection in the buried edges. This results in the following geometry:
A===============B=============C \ \ \ D
The "main" fault is A-B-C and the branch fault is B-D. The vertices at B are included in the buried edges for the branch fault. Slip can occur anywhere along A-B-C on the main fault. Slip can occur on the branch fault B-D except at B.
Alternatively, the branch fault can be B-C. That is, one can first create the main fault A-B-D and then the branch fault B-C with B again being in the buried edges for the branch fault B-C. This would allow slip anywhere along the main fault A-B-D and slip on the branch fault B-C except at B.
When I say, create the main fault first, I mean list it first in the PyLith parameter file. PyLith will create faults in the order they are listed in the
Thanks for your help. You used the command
group "branch_fault" remove node in main_fault in
createbc.jou file of TPV24. If I include the intersection in the buried edges rather than remove it from branch fault, then I can create a connected fault model. Is that right?
Hi, Brad. I created a fault model as you described. I set the A-B-C as the main fault and B-D as the branch fault with vertices at B included in the buried edges. But I found that B-D is still disconnected with the A-B-C and can only be dynamic triggered by the rupture on main fault. I am wondering that if I run two simulations with A-B-C and A-B-D respectively and then combine the results of A-B-C and B-D, could it equivalent to a connected fault model?
In PyLith v2.2 when creating the
branch_fault nodeset, you do not need to remove the nodes in the
main_fault nodeset; that only applied in versions of PyLith before we implemented buried edges. The nodesets for the two faults will overlap at the intersection; the nodes in the intersection should be included in the bured edges nodeset for the branch fault.

Installation and maintenance procedure of thin wall deep groove ball bearing
wallpapers Environment 2021-05-08
1、 Bearing installation and disassembly must be careful

Different types and sizes of thin-walled deep groove ball bearings have different installation methods and tools, including mechanical or hydraulic. Here is to explain some general basic installation methods and precautions.

First, do not install the ball hard, which will lead to local overload of the ball and contact surface, leading to premature failure of the bearing.

Second, do not use hard tools, such as hammers, elevators and so on to knock the surface of the bearing, which will make the outer ring of the bearing fracture or brittle.

2、 Cleaning of bearings

A clean environment is very important for bearings. The surface roughness accuracy of thin-walled deep groove ball bearing ring and rolling element is about 1 / 10 μ m. If the smooth ball surface is polluted, its influence is very serious. The lubrication layer between rolling surfaces is usually 0.2 ~ 1 μ m. The particle type impurities larger than the lubricant particle size will be over rolled by the rolling element, which will produce local pressure in the self-aligning roller bearing steel, and eventually lead to permanent material fatigue. In addition to this, the size of dust particles in the external environment can reach 10 μ m. It can also cause damage to self-aligning roller bearings. Because of this, clean and tidy working environment for the bearing is how important ah.

3、 Process inspection of bearing

In the process of use, the working temperature of the bearing is detected by hot drying. If the temperature exceeds the specified limit, the alarm will be given automatically to prevent the occurrence of shaft burning. High temperature is often used to indicate that the bearing is in abnormal condition. High temperature is also harmful to bearing lubricants. Sometimes the overheating of thin-walled deep groove ball bearings can be attributed to the lubricant of the bearings. If the temperature of the bearing exceeds 125 ℃ for a long time, the service life of the bearing will be reduced. The causes of high temperature bearing include: the bearing may be lack of lubrication, unqualified lubricant, which contains impurities, when the load is too large, it may also be that the internal clearance of the bearing is not enough, and the oil seal has friction and so on.

text: Deep neural networks (DNNs) are famous for their high prediction accuracy, but they are also known for their black-box nature and poor interpretability. We consider the problem of variable selection, that is, selecting the input variables that have significant predictive power on the output, in DNNs. We propose a backward elimination procedure called SurvNet, which is based on a new measure of variable importance that applies to a wide variety of networks. More importantly, SurvNet is able to estimate and control the false discovery rate of selected variables, while no existing methods provide such a quality control. Further, SurvNet adaptively determines how many variables to eliminate at each step in order to maximize the selection efficiency. To study its validity, SurvNet is applied to image data and gene expression data, as well as various simulation datasets.

PerfWorks has now been replaced with an updated C++ API and a new name - NVIDIA® Nsight™ Perf SDK. You can find more information about it and download from here. The new NSight Perf SDK supports NVIDIA GPU Architectures from Volta through the latest Ampere chips. The API is easy to use and integrate into your application.
PerfWorks is a C++ API used for GPU performance analysis on NVIDIA GPUs. PerfWorks allows developers the ability to instrument an application and to access low-level performance metrics on NVIDIA GPUs. PerfWorks delivers these metrics in order to give developers the ability to recognize top performance limiters quickly and make appropriate application changes to remove the associated bottlenecks. These metrics can be collected over user ranges, draw calls or dispatches. There are four metric categories including: cumulative work, timing, activity and throughput.
- Cumulative work includes work achieved over time such as number of shaded pixels
- Timing refers to time duration or average clock rate calculations that make it easier to understand a scenario.
- Activity tells you where the GPU is stalled and where the GPU is active.
- Throughput refers to the rate of operations e.g. the number of instructions executed.
PerfWorks is the successor to NVIDIA's Perfkit. PerfWorks adds range based profiling and it supports next generation APIs featuring multi-threaded GPU work submission. GPU generations supported by PerfWorks includes Maxwell, Pascal and future generations when available. PerfWorks is used by NVIDIA internal tools including: Tegra Graphics Debugger, Nsight Visual Studio Edition and other future products.
- Support for collecting Graphics Metrics. See Figure 1 below.
- Support for collecting Compute Metrics. See Figure 2 below.
- These Compute Metrics can be Compute-Bound, Memory Bound or Latency-Bound.
- Range Based Profiling
- Other tools profile one kernel or draw-call at a time. However, with PerfWorks a developer can profile them as a range therefore allowing for inherent parallelism of execution.
- Multi-Pass Profiling
- The hardware has a limited number of physical counters. To collect more than the physical limit, PerfWorks requires the application to deterministically replay the GPU work multiple times. During each replay the application must make the same GPU calls with the same range delimiters and a different set of counters is collected.
- D3D12 Support
- Supports multithreaded GPU work submission. D3D12 is a different way of coding than CUDA or OpenGL.
- Support for nvperf
- nvperf is a command line tool for offline querying of PerfWorks metrics


How Samsung uses AI to improve photos taken on the Galaxy S21
How Samsung uses AI to improve photos taken on the Galaxy S21
In our reviews, we made clear that the Galaxy S21 Ultra and the S21+ are capable of capturing excellent photos. While the camera sensors do play a part in this, modern photography is now also a lot about AI and image processing and that is exactly what Samsung reveals in a blog post that details how the AI-algorithm works on the new Samsung flagships.
 - Samsung reveals specific details about the AI post-processing of its photos
 - It involves the camera detecting faces and separating them from their surroundings before editing them
 - Blurred backgrounds in portraits are also more accurate and feature a sharpening gradient
It's always exciting to see what technology smartphone manufacturers use to improve the images on their latest smartphones. Samsung, in its blog post, details the magic it uses to improve portraits captured on its phones in fair detail.
Behind the Snapshot S21 AI main1
The software uses masks to separate faces and enhance fine details / © Samsung
First of all, it's all about making faces look natural and a little bit out of the subject at the same time. To do this, the software detects the two faces of the subjects and separates them from the rest of the image for post-processing. Samsung then uses "natural enhancements" to tweak things like the eyes, hair, face shape, and white balance to create natural faces. Here, Samsung basically takes the same approach as it does with manual digital photo editing, which also uses masks to tweak only certain areas of the image.
Precise portrait mode with sharpness gradient
Masks are also about blurring backgrounds. It's been a trend in camera smartphones for a few years now to mimic the depth of field of portrait lenses with a small open aperture, and in fact it worked very well in my review of the Galaxy S21+. For portraits, Samsung takes advantage of the depth information gained from the Time-of-Flight sensor on the S21 Ultra and the additional and slightly differently positioned cameras on the S21+.
As with the faces in the first example, Samsung's camera software creates a mask and then optimizes the transition between subject and background. By using a tri-mask consisting of background, subject and the area of transition, Samsung can also identify hair with greater accuracy and omit it when blurring.

At the same time, the software segments subjects if they are at different distances from the camera. This explains the quite natural-looking sharpness gradient you can see in my test photo of the Galaxy S21.

Difference Between Euro and Pound
Euro vs Pound
In everyday life, we often hear about the two popular currencies Euro and Pound. Right from the country of origin, the exchange rates and symbols of these two currencies are entirely different.
Euro is the term used to specify the currency of European Union countries. The countries are Belgium, Spain, Vatican City, Martinique, Germany, Finland, and the like. This currency is now being used globally owing to its exchange rate and economy of the countries to which it belongs. It is the only used currency of the 16 European Union member states. These member states together contribute the Euro Area or the Eurozone.
Pound or British pound is the currency of Great Britain. There is one more term which refers to this currency. It is Pound Sterling. This is the financial term used to represent the currency. This currency is used in the countries of United Kingdom, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man. Sometimes pound is also known as United Kingdom Pound.
The symbol of Euro is â‚¬ and the abbreviation is EUR. The symbol of Pound is Â£ and the abbreviation is GBP. This refers to the term Great Britain Pound. Some other abbreviations used to denote the currency are UKP, GBR, UK, and STG.
A Euro is made up of 100 cents while a Pound is made up of 100 pence. The symbol of a penny is 'p' and an amount like 40 pence is pronounced as fourty pee. So the basic unit of Euro is cent and that of Pound is pence. Both Euro and Pound have a conversion factor of six significant digits. The cents of Euro are issued as coins.
Euro came into existence in 1995 and was introduced in the financial markets in 1999, as an accounting currency. Today Euro is the second most traded and second largest reserve currency in the world. It has the most combined cash value in circulation. Pound sterling comes as the third largest reserve currency in the world. And in the foreign exchange scenario it is the fourth most traded currency.
In the foreign exchange market, if a Pound is equal to 1.59 USD, one Euro is equal to 1.46 USD. So roughly speaking, one Pound is equal to 1.09 Euro.
Euro banknotes and coins are in circulation since 1st January 2002. The European Central Bank in Frankfurt and the Eurosystem administers and manages the circulation of the Euro. The Eurosystem monitors the process of minting, printing, and the circulation of the coins and notes in the states.
The Pound and Euro are two major currencies in the foreign exchange market and two leading players in the global financial arena.
1.Euro is the currency of EU countries while pound is used in the UK.
2.The exchange rate of pound is greater than that of euro.
3.In the financial market, euro is the second most traded and pound is the third most traded currency.

What was the fare for railroads and stagecoaches?
All stagecoach riders paid a price in physical discomfort, lack of sleep, bad food and unfriendly elements. As far as fare went, short trips charged 10 to 15 cents per mile. The cost for the 2,812-mile journey from Tipton, Missouri, to San Francisco, California, was $200, and that didn't cover the $1 meals.
Passenger train travel during the 1880s generally cost two or three cents per mile. Transcontinental (New York to San Francisco) ticket rates as of June 1870 were $136 for first class in a Pullman sleeping car, $110 for second class and $65 for third, or "emigrant," class seats on a bench.

Men Who Like Spicy Food have More Testosterone
For older men, eating spicy foods can be an issue given that the resulting stomach acid can lead to a certain amount of distress that needs antacid tablets or treatments. However, studies have now shown that men who enjoy spicy food actually have higher levels of testosterone. It may seem strange that food which can barely be kept in the mouth for very long and having properties that may in certain cases be really uncomfortable to eat is linked to having higher testosterone levels in the body.
However, a study from France has shown that men who preferred spicy foods were more likely to have boosted levels of testosterone which naturally leads to the supposition that elements or ingredients in spicy foods have a naturally boosting effect. The study was conducted with 114 men who were aged 18 to 44 and they were asked about which types of foods that they enjoyed eating. It was found that the men who preferred spicier meals such as those including red peppers for example had higher levels of testosterone.
Is the Link Between Spicy Food and Boosted Testosterone Real?
There is no doubt that men who enjoy spicy foods tend to have higher levels of testosterone in their body. However, the question is whether spicy foods actually boosted the testosterone levels or do men who have naturally higher levels of testosterone enjoy spicier foods.
To the researchers involved in the study, they lean toward the latter as the men who did like spicy food tended to be more risk taking, more youthful in their appearance and approach to life. This indicates the their enjoyment of spicy food was simply a sign or symptom of their higher levels of testosterone in their bodies.
So, the idea that spicy food alone boosts testosterone levels naturally has no basis in fact at least right now. However, the consuming of spicy food if it is not very distressful to the male can be good for the health when done in moderation. Spicy food from natural sources such as red pepper is not only more tasty, it also provides plenty of nutrients that the body needs.
While the evidence leans towards spicy foods at best being a reinforcement of the testosterone that is already present. It does not hurt to spice up the diet with foods from the pepper family and other spicy sources. Especially if they reduce the amount of sugar that is consumed which is a big factor in reducing the amount of testosterone in the body.
The researchers are continuing their efforts and even using rats in studies which have actually shown some indication that testosterone levels can at least be reinforced, if not boosted with the consumption of spicy foods. However, it does seem at this point that men who have a taste for spicy foods came from their upbringing or perhaps the coloring of the foods were attractive enough for them to try them out. There is no indication as of yet that eating spicy foods will actually boost testosterone levels.
At my site there are reviews of natural testosterone boosting supplements that may be used either with or in place of spicy foods.

At Alabama Chanin, we believe DIY projects are integral to sharing creativity and promoting sustainable heirloom-worthy pieces. Bibliocraft: A Modern Crafter's Guide to Using Library Resources to Jumpstart Creative Projects is a great guide to DIY crafts that utilize a range of library resources for inspiration. Written by rare book librarian Jessica Pigza, this book contains over 20 unique projects and crafts for your home, including the Cyanotype Throw, designed by the Alabama Chanin team.
Pigza walks readers through different types of libraries, collections, and other resources that can foster motivation and provide ideas for the curious and creative. The book shows you how to find the right library for you and also provides information on digital libraries and an array of library catalogs. To get you started on your project, there are lists of recommended library collections from general visual resources to performing arts and film. The book is an informative and inspiring guide for learning about new resources and turning to libraries for discovery. There is something different and special about holding an actual, physical book in your hand that continues to draw me toward libraries. As a designer I find escape within library walls, and as a business owner I find critical information that has helped me grow into who I am as an entrepreneur.
At Alabama Chanin, we have often looked to nature for stencil inspirations. Many of the first stencils I designed when I started embellishing recycled T-shirts were of bugs and animals—what I felt were constant surroundings when I made my return home to Alabama from New York over a decade ago.
Our newest DIY Men's Kit features the Scorpion stencil, designed by Butch Anthony, on a yoked T-shirt. The yoke cut of the T-shirt helps it stand apart from the standard tee. The design and style fit easily into any man's wardrobe.
Each month, we highlight one of our favorite embroidery techniques through our Swatch of the Month Club. As a companion to that monthly series, we have also put together a selection of projects you can create with your completed swatches. This month, we have created a beaded clutch bag, which you will need one finished swatch to complete. We created our bag using May's beaded ruffle swatch.
Supplies for May's Swatch of the Month (or your favorite swatch of choice)
1 – 10" x 10" 100% organic medium-weight cotton jersey panel, unembellished, for pocket
1 – 10" x 1 1/4" strip cotton jersey (cut across the grain), for rib binding
Basic sewing supplies: fabric scissors, rotary cutter, cutting mat, ruler, tailor's chalk, needles, thread, pins.
Complete your Swatch of the Month according to the instructions – or create a swatch using your own personal design choice. Refer to Alabama Studio Sewing + Design as a resource, if you need additional guidance.
One of our Mother's Day Gift Guide selections, the DIY Magdalena Shawl is versatile in design and function. The Magdalena stencil is a bold design that dresses up casual wear. A shawl is a simple way to adjust to the changes in weather that tend to occur on a whim this time of year and acts as a perfect canvas to display the Magdalena design.
I like to keep a variety of shawls on hand for chilly mornings and to use as a pillow or blanket on long airplane or car rides. Depending on how you wear your shawl, it is possible that both the front and the back may be visible, showing off the intricate stitches and handwork used to finish it.
The Swatch of the Month for May demonstrates our beaded ruffle stripe technique. This is a variation of our random ruffle technique, featured in Alabama Studio Sewing + Design. You can add several rows of ruffles for a more elaborate textural design or use just one if you want to highlight the technique itself.
Detailed instructions on how to apply ruffles can be found on pages 107-108 in Alabama Studio Sewing + Design. To add ruffles to your swatch, you will need to use tailor's chalk to draw a line (or several lines) on the right side of your top layer fabric. This will be your guide for where to add your ruffles.
To make a ruffle stripe, cut a 1"-wide strip of cotton jersey, sew with a basting stitch down the middle of the strip, then pull on the ends of the basting thread to ruffle, or gather, the strip. Attach the ruffled stripes to your double-layer fabric swatch by first basting them down (along your chalked line) with an all-purpose thread and then securing them with a stretch stitch or another decorative stitch down the center of the ruffle. We used a zigzag chain stitch on our version of the swatch.
For our swatch, we have opted to add chop beads to the stitches securing the ruffle to the base fabric. The beading adds a bit of sparkle, dimension, and detail.
The hi-resolution photograph above of our swatch with the random ruffle, for use as your computer desktop background, is available for download from our Resources page.
Our classic Short Skirt is great for just about every occasion, including Mother's Day. Whether you arrange an outing to church, a restaurant, or just a walk in the park, you can make Mom happy by making her something she'll love.
Currently featured as part of our Mother's Day Gift Guide, the DIY Check Skirt is the only DIY Kit pattern we currently feature using our Short Fitted Skirt pattern from Alabama Studio Sewing + Design.
This version of the skirt is made using the reverse appliqué technique and is embellished with beaded eyelet details. Instructions for the Short Skirt can be found on pages 60 – 61 of Alabama Studio Sewing + Design. When ordering, please specify your desired top layer and thread color.
Today, April 24, is the one-year anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It has also been declared Fashion Revolution Day—celebrating best practices in the fashion industry and raising awareness of the true cost of fast fashion.
In homage to the anniversary, we etched wax candles with our Anna's Garden and Bloomers stencil designs—candles we will light tonight in honor of the lives lost.
Fashion Revolution Day is asking: Who made your clothes? Not just where they were manufactured…but who spun the threads? Who sewed them together? Who grew the cotton? What you do with your discoveries is up to you.
The Fashion Revolution movement is encouraging everyone to wear clothes inside out today—tags showing—to join the conversation on fast fashion and creating a more sustainable future.
Mother's Day will be upon us soon, and we hope that you are all planning a way to make it a special day. Our freelance editor, Sara, says that her father always got worked up over finding her mother just the right gift. Inevitably, this stress would result in a frantic, last minute decision that wasn't necessarily the right choice. She says that they still laugh about the year he bought her mother a calculator. (And he still insists that she said she wanted one…) Other years, her father did a much better job; Sara remembers once planting a dogwood tree just outside her mother's kitchen window.
We appreciate that mothers come in all forms, shapes, and sizes, so this DIY Check Tied Wrap featuring our 2014 Stencil of the Year is a perfect fit for your mother, or grandmother, daughter, or friend. In the morning sunlight, it almost looks like dogwood flowers blooming.
We are offering this DIY Kit as part of our Mother's Day Gift Guide. Make something for mom – or give her something she will enjoy making for herself.
In service to everyone who showed such great response to our Swatch of the Month, we are featuring a series of DIY projects that you can create with your completed swatch(es). This month's project is a book cover adapted to fit the size of our Studio Books. It requires one swatch and four blank panels of fabric to complete. Make your own Studio Book cover, or adapt the size to fit your favorite book.
We chose to use this month's appliqué swatch for the main portion of our book cover. The additional four panels were left unembellished in order to highlight the intricate Anna's Garden design.
The Swatch of the Month for April allows you the opportunity to experiment with a basic, traditional appliqué technique in our Anna's Garden stencil design. Appliqué is a way of "applying" one fabric on top of another. We use appliqué for many reasons – to add color, texture, dimension, and more elaborate design work to a piece. You can use any number of stitches to appliqué your top design to the bottom fabric. Here, we demonstrate the most common way that we add an appliquéd element to a base fabric: a simple parallel whipstitch.
Detailed instructions on appliqué techniques can be found in Alabama Studio Sewing + Design. Match up each appliqué shape with its correct position as you cut it to avoid creating a complicated puzzle for yourself. Take care to position your appliqué pieces precisely by pinning each cut shape of the stenciled design into place. Then, stitch each appliqué shape to your fabric using a parallel whipstitch, which will attach your appliqué pieces securely.
The hi-resolution photograph of our appliqué swatch, for use as your computer desktop background, is available for download from our Resources page.


Job description for a first-contact physiotherapist
Developing a job description or person specification
Many employers now have their own standard pro forma for job descriptions and person specifications which will need to be followed. Typically a job description is likely to include some or all of the following aspects:
Title of the post
 - Grade of the post (this will be determined following job evaluation – see below)
 - To whom the post holder reports and to whom he/she is accountable
 - Location(s) of the work
 - An overall statement of job purpose
 - Outline of all the main duties and responsibilities of the post, set out under appropriate sub-headings which reflect the main areas of responsibility of the post.
The person specification focuses on the skills, knowledge and experience that are required to undertake the role.
It is essential these are developed through a critical assessment of what is required from the role within the local context, and the level of skill, knowledge and experience needed to deliver this.
Job evaluation
Within the NHS it is the job description and person specification that are the key factors in determining the correct band for the job, and not the title of the role.
The NHS uses a system of job evaluation. This requires a trained matching panel to assess each job by measuring the job content, responsibilities and tasks of each job, and the knowledge and skills needed by a post holder to successfully carry out their work.
The purpose of job evaluation is to ensure that all jobs with similar demands are on the same grade and pay band. Employers outside the NHS may also refer to the NHS job evaluation scheme or may have their own local pay and grading structure. However, there are advantages to maintaining the same system outside the NHS in terms of comparability of pay and expectations of the role.
More information on the NHS JE scheme can be found on the NHS Employers website.
Within general practice, the role of the physiotherapist will vary depending on service need and structure. Therefore specific roles will need to be evaluated to determine the appropriate banding. This could vary considerably depending on the local needs and structures for support and supervision.
However, it is envisaged that the greatest value and impact of physiotherapy roles in general practice will be gained from those that require a high level of independence (without the day-to-day support of peers) along with the ability to order further examinations and to refer on to a range of different services and for the delivery of specialist treatments, which are likely to fall into the band 7-8 range.
If a post also involves integrating MSK/physiotherapy assessments into the wider health system (e.g. across GP, community and hospital services) to meet patient need and contribute to the development of these areas, the job role is likely to fall within the band 8 range.

View clinical trials related to 5 French Stylette.Filter by:
Study Design: Allocation: 2 arms Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment Detailed Description The utilization of a Foley catheter for induction of labor is well established. There are two techniques readily used for placing a Foley catheter. The most common method is under direct visualization of the cervix during a sterile speculum examination and the other method is to place a catheter during a digital cervical examination. Studies have reported the use of a rigid stylette (a thin wire inserted into a catheter to maintain rigidity) to guide the insertion of the Foley catheter decreases failure rate. The Foley catheter plus rigid stylette technique seems to be an efficient and safe method for labor induction. However, to our knowledge there is no study that assesses the difference between the standard digital placement of a Foley catheter versus the digital placement of a Foley catheter with stylette.


Chemical clock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In an iodine clock reaction, colour changes after a time delay.
A chemical clock (or clock reaction) is a complex mixture of reacting chemical compounds in which the onset of an observable property (discoloration or coloration) occurs after a predictable induction time due to the presence of clock species at a detectable amount.[1] In cases where one of the reagents has a visible color, crossing a concentration threshold can lead to an abrupt color change after a reproducible time lapse.
Types[edit]
Clock reactions may be classified into three or four types:[2]
Substrate-depletive clock reaction[edit]
The simplest clock reaction featuring two reactions:[2]
A → C (rate k1)
B + C → products (rate k2, fast)
When substrate (B) is present, the clock species (C) is quickly consumed in the second reaction. Only when substrate B is all used up or depleted, species C can build up in amount causing the color to change. An example for this clock reaction is the sulfite/iodate reaction or iodine clock reaction, also known as Landolt's reaction.
Sometimes, a clock reaction involves the production of intermediate species in three consecutive reactions.
P + Q → R
R + Q → C
P + C → 2R
Given that Q is in excess, when substrate (P) is depleted, C builds up resulting in the change in color.
Autocatalysis-driven clock reaction[edit]
The basis of the reaction is similar to substrate-depletive clock reaction, except for the fact that rate k2 is very slow leading to the co-existing of substrates and clock species, so there is no need for substrate to be depleted to observe the change in color. The example for this clock is pentathionate/iodate reaction.[2][3]
Pseudoclock behavior[edit]
The reactions in this category behave like a clock reaction, however they are irreproducible, unpredictable and hard to control. Examples are chlorite/thiosulfate and iodide/chlorite reactions.[2]
Crazy clock reaction[edit]
The reaction is irreproducible in each run due to the initial inhomogeneity of the mixture which result from variation in stirring rate, overall volume as well as geometry of the reactors. Repeating the reaction in the statistically meaningful manners leads to the reproducible cumulative probability distribution curve. The example for this clock is iodate/arsenous acid reaction.[4]
One reaction may fall into more than one classification above depending on the circumstance. For example, iodate−arsenous acid reaction can be substrate-depletive clock reaction, autocatalysis-driven clock reaction and crazy clock reaction.
Examples[edit]
One class of example is the iodine clock reactions, in which an iodine species is mixed with redox reagents in the presence of starch. After a delay, a dark blue color suddenly appears due to the formation of a triiodide-starch complex.
Additional reagents can be added to some chemical clocks to build a chemical oscillator. For example, the Briggs–Rauscher reaction is derived from an iodine clock reaction by adding perchloric acid, malonic acid and manganese sulfate.[5]

V2 Vocabulary Building Dictionary
Definition: gloomy or having a generally downcast personality
Synonyms: gloomy, sullen, depressed, melancholy, moody, sulky
Antonyms: cheerful, upbeat
Tips: Morose can refer to a specific gloomy mood, but it more often refers to someone who is unhappy and sullen in general. Morose is related to sullen. When you refuse to speak to or acknowledge someone because you are irritated or in a bad mood, you're being sullen. Morose refers more to being withdrawn, depressed, bitter and gloomy. For a memory trick, note how morose sounds like "more rose" or "no rose." Now, think of providing someone with "more roses" to cheer them up if they are morose. Or consider that someone who is morose may have received "no roses" in his or her life and that is why they are morose.
Usage Examples:
A quiet, morose man, he was never close to anyone. (sullen, depressed)
She could tell by his morose expression that he was unwilling to speak with her. (sulky, moody)
She always seems so sad and morose. (depressed, moody)
His morose attitude toward life did not make him popular with his peers. (sullen, melancholy)
