What is addressable RGBCCT led controller?
An addressable RGBCCT LED controller is a device that is used to control LED lights with six different parameters: red, green, blue, cool white, warm white, and color temperature. This type of controller allows for precise control over the color and brightness of LED lights, as well as the ability to adjust the color temperature to create different moods or effects.
The "RGBCCT" designation specifies the specific types of LED lights that the controller is designed to work with. "RGB" stands for red, green, and blue, which are the primary colors used to create a wide range of colors. "CCT" stands for "correlated color temperature," which is a measure of the color of light emitted by a light source. A cool white LED has a higher color temperature and emits a bluish-white light, while a warm white LED has a lower color temperature and emits a yellowish-white light.
Overall, an addressable RGBCCT LED controller is a powerful tool for creating sophisticated lighting effects, whether for use in homes, businesses, or entertainment venues.

Capital punishment in Puerto Rico
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Capital punishment is forbidden by law in Puerto Rico, an unincorporated territory of the United States. However, a number of people were executed in the territory before abolition.
From the 16th century until 1898, Puerto Rico was a part of the Spanish Empire. The number of people executed in Puerto Rico by the Spanish authorities is:
 - 16th Century: 289
 - 17th Century: 70
 - 18th Century: 44
 - 19th Century: 159[1]
In result of the Spanish-American War, Puerto Rico became U.S. territory. 27 people were executed under American administration during the 20th century. The authorized method of execution was hanging, although in 1900, the American military authorities executed at least five convicted murderers using the garrotte method that was a legacy of Spanish rule.[2]
The last person executed in Puerto Rico was Pascual Ramos, hanged for murder in 1927. Two years later, in 1929, the Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico abolished the death penalty.[3][4] The Puerto Rico's constitution expressly forbids capital punishment, stating "The death penalty shall not exist".[5]
Despite these provisions, the death penalty can still be applied in Puerto Rico under the federal government, which is a subject of considerable controversy in the territory.[6]

Why did German immigrants come to the United States?
They migrated to America for a variety of reasons. Push factors involved worsening opportunities for farm ownership in central Europe, persecution of some religious groups, and military conscription; pull factors were better economic conditions, especially the opportunity to own land, and religious freedom.
When did Volga Germans come to Kansas?
28 November 1875
A large group of Volga Germans arrived in Topeka on 28 November 1875. They were from the colonies of Herzog, Katharinenstadt, Liebental, Beauregard, Ober-Monjou, Neu-Obermonjou, Mariental, Louis, Marienberg, and Graf.
Why did Mennonites leave Prussia?
Origins in the Vistula Delta In the early-to-mid 16th century, Mennonites began to flee to the Vistula delta region in the Kingdom of Poland in order to avoid persecution in the Low Countries, especially Friesland and Flanders, seeking religious freedom and exemption from military service.
Why did Mennonites leave Germany?
Beginning in 1663, Mennonites emigrated to North America to preserve the faith of their fathers, to seek economic opportunity and adventure, and especially to escape European militarism.
Where did the immigrants of Kansas come from?
Germans were the largest group of foreign immigrants to Kansas. Some came from Germany, but many came from the Volga River in southern Russia, where they excelled in agriculture and were drawn to Kansas by railroad posters. But before the Volga Germans came, they sent five scouts to investigate.
What was the cause of early immigration to Germany?
Early Immigration, _PHONE_. Two forces were paramount in prompting early German immigration: heavy taxation and German laws of primogeniture, which permitted only the eldest sons in families to inherit their fathers' land.
What was life like for the Germans in Kansas?
Germans in Kansas did not always have it easy. They often faced difficult times while settling, and even after being in communities for years, faced anti-German sentiment during World Wars I and II. Germans had a large impact on the formation of Kansas a s a state.
When did most German immigrants come to America?
Wars in Europe and America had slowed the arrival of immigrants for several decades starting in the 1770s, but by 1830 German immigration had increased more than tenfold. From that year until World War I, almost 90 percent of all German emigrants chose the United States as their destination.

Malabar neem (Melia dubia Cav.), commonly called as Hebbuvu or Dreak or Gora Neem, is a dry deciduous multipurpose tree belongs to the family Meliaceae. It is an indigenous and multipurpose fast growing tree species, which has a great potential as a plantation species to meet the raw material requirement of the various wood-based industries. The present study was conducted at Zonal Agricultural and Horticultural Research Station, Hiriyur to assess the growth performance of Melia dubia planted at a spacing of 4 m × 1 m, 4 m × 2 m and 4 m × 3 m in sole condition without intercrop and with integrating horse gram as intercrop. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with six treatments and four replications. Tree parameters viz., tree height, diameter at breast height (DBH) and crown diameter were recorded and basal area and volume of trees were calculated before sowing as initial readings and after harvest of horse gram as final readings. The study revealed that performance of Melia dubia with and without horse gram intercrop was on par and relatively higher in intercropped condition. It was also evident from the present investigation that higher performance of M. dubia was recorded under wider spacing of 4 m × 3 m followed by spacing of 4 m × 2 m and least performance was found in the spacing of 4 m × 1 m. In the present study 4 m × 3 m spacing might be most suitable for taking up M. dubia based agroforestry in the central dry zone of Karnataka.

text: The footprint left by early cancer dynamics on the spatial arrangement of tumour cells is poorly understood, and yet could encode information about how therapy resistant sub-clones grew within the expanding tumour. Novel methods of quantifying spatial tumour data at the cellular scale are required to link evolutionary dynamics to the resulting spatial architecture of the tumour. Here, we propose a framework using first passage times of random walks to quantify the complex spatial patterns of tumour cell population mixing. First, using a toy model of cell mixing we demonstrate how first passage time statistics can distinguish between different pattern structures. We then apply our method to simulated patterns of wild-type and mutated tumour cell population mixing, generated using an agent-based model of expanding tumours, to explore how first passage times reflect mutant cell replicative advantage, time of emergence and strength of cell pushing. Finally, we analyse experimentally measured patterns of genetic point mutations in human colorectal cancer, and estimate parameters of early sub-clonal dynamics using our spatial computational model. We uncover a wide range of mutant cell replicative advantages and timings, with the majority of sampled tumours consistent with boundary driven growth or short-range cell pushing. By analysing multiple sub-sampled regions in a small number of samples, we explore how the distribution of inferred dynamics could inform about the initial mutational event. Our results demonstrate the efficacy of first passage time analysis as a new methodology for quantifying cell mixing patterns in vivo, and suggest that patterns of sub-clonal mixing can provide insights into early cancer dynamics.

LeitnerBox is a technique for learning with more & better effect.
We should learn the things by heart in 5 steps (30 days) with Leitner Box.
This application was created for learning English words or words of another language.
I've created this project with.NET Framework 3.5 SP1, so you have to install it to use the project.
Leitner Box's Algorithm
According to Leitner's Algorithm, we have to study our questions everyday like this :
1 : Answer all questions in Box 5 -> Part 1
If your answer was True the question goes to the Data Base
else it goes to Box 1.
2 : Shift all parts of Box5 to the left ( In the application use Shift up button )
3 : Answer all questions in Box 4 -> Part 1
4 : Shift all parts of Box4 to the left
5 : And so on...
10 : Add new questions to Box 1
I've implemented this algorithm in this project.
Using the Application
At first you have to create a user, so you will see this form :
Notice: You can use A-Z and a-z for the name.
Press the button to create new user, new user will save in a folder beside the main EXE file.
If there are multiple users, you will see this form:
Appending a Word
You have to select a destination box or a part and then add a question.
Notice: You can't add two words with the same questions.
Whenever you type a word into 'Add Questions' textboxes, it searches for the inserted word in former words (in all boxes and database). If something is found, it will show a list of them below the textbox. Now you can choose it by pressing Enter on it.
This is a good way to avoid duplication.

Project Summary / Description:
Compost Clubhouse (CC) is a youth-driven program with a mission to cultivate environmental consciousness through education and youth development and divert food waste from landfills by providing a high impact, convenient and simple approach to composting. Based in Columbus, Ohio, this program brings together youth, advocates, service providers, city leaders, schools, and entire communities to address the critical issues of planet-warming gases emitted from overcrowded landfills. Currently, Compost Clubhouse does this through a multi-prong approach that places youth empowerment at the center. Compost Clubhouse provides weekly residential curbside pickup services and sponsors seasonal composting events in several communities throughout Columbus and the surrounding area. Additionally, Compost Clubhouse partners several schools to limit the amount of food waste produced in their kitchens and cafeterias by establishing school-wide composting servicing and providing educational opportunities designed to teach young people about the importance of composting and motivate them to lead by example in their schools, their homes, and their neighborhoods. Through involvement in these activities designed to divert food waste from landfills, young people develop environmental consciousness, develop leadership skills, and are empowered to use their voice to inspire their communities to address the impact of food waste on our planet.
Regions of Operations:
Best Estimate of GHG Avoidance/Reduction of This Project (Tonnes CO2 Equivalent/Year):
Impact on Underrepresented Groups:
As a pilot program, Compost Clubhouse has partnered with the City of Grandview to provide several centralized bins for residents to deposit food waste free of charge. This service provides the access to composting to all citizens, regardless of socio-economic status. Compost Clubhouse is in the process to scale the free community composting station concept, city by city, throughout the state and eventually the nation. In April of 2022, CC will launch four additional public food waste drop off stations in New Albany, Ohio and Dayton, Ohio. Currently Compost Clubhouse donate food waste pick-up services to ten schools in lower income areas and will extend this service to twenty schools in 2022. Youth membership is growing in diverse and low-income communities, providing high school students with the opportunity to earn service hours required for graduation through their work with the Compost Clubhouse. With COVID restrictions lifting, youth volunteers have been able to do more community projects, including Food Waste and Composting workshops and the implementation of cafeteria collections in local schools. Through a partnership with the Columbus Rotary‚ Service Above Self Program, Compost Clubhouse has provided volunteer opportunities for students in Columbus City Schools. Columbus City Schools is the largest and most diverse school district in Ohio, serving 60,000 students. Founded in 2003, the Service Above Self Program empowers students, including students of color and members of traditionally underrepresented groups to develop and implement unique community service projects that benefit their schools, their neighborhoods, and communities around the world. Through competition, celebration, and scholarship opportunities, the Rotary encourages the link classroom learning and community service. Through additional funding, Compost Clubhouse would continue to expand opportunities to students in the district who want to encourage environmental consciousness and community composting in their neighborhoods.

NORTHERN NEW YORK
Genealogical and family history of northern New York: a record of the achievements of her people
in the making of a commonwealth and the founding of a nation.
New York: Lewis Historical Pub. Co. 1910.
Transcribed by Coralynn Brown
The origin of the surname Burroughs or Burrows is in dispute. Some derive it from a Roman personal name introduced into Britain and thence to Ireland and Wales. It has also been said that the family takes its name from the town of Borough, Leicestershire. In any case the name is probably a place name, and the family has been of some note from the early days of surnames. In 1386 John Burroughs was rector of Collingham, Nottinghamshire, appointed July 1, 1384, chancellor of Cambridge University, of which he was a graduate.
Another John Burroughs, a Benedictine living in 1340, was a writer of some distinction. There have been many noted men in the army, navy and church in England bearing the name.
(I) Jeremiah Burroughs settled in Scituate, Mass., as early as 1645. He served against the Narragansett Indians in 1647. He married, May, 1651, a daughter of Thomas Hewett (also given as Hewes. See Pope's Pioneers of Mass.) He removed to Marshfield, and was drowned in 1660. His widow was appointed administratrix for herself and children.
Children, born in Scituate:
Jeremiah, born March 11, 1651-52.
John, Nov., 1653, mentioned below.
Elizabeth, March 5, 1654-55.
Mary, Dec. 2, 1656.
(II) John, son of Jeremiah Burroughs, was born in Scituate, in Nov. 1653. (See Burroughs family, by L. A. Burroughs, 1894). He settled at Enfield, then Massachusetts, now Connecticut, and died there in 1693. He was one of the first settlers in 1680, and owned the fifth lot south of Ferry Lane. Another account (Enfield records) gives his death as of 1691, and age forty-two years. The date was 1693, as shown by his will, dated in 1691, and presented Sept. 2, 1693, bequeathing to his wife Hannah and children.
John, mentioned below.
(III) John (2), son of John (1) Burroughs, was born in Enfield, about 1685. He married Sarah Tyler, and they removed to Windsor, Conn., in 1718, and bought land there. Another account states that he married Sarah Rumrill, daughter of Simon. A deed of 1720 gives the name of his wife as Elizabeth, showing probably that he had a second wife. His will shows that his wife was Sarah in 1756. Sarah Tyler may have been his first wife and Sarah Rumrill his third wife.
He was called ensign, a mlitary title. His will was dated Dec. 22, 1756, inventory dated Aug. 3, 1757. He had deeded his land to his heirs.
Children, born in what is now Ellington, Conn.:
John, 1711, mentioned below.
Sarah, 1714, married M. Chandler.
Hannah, 1716, married William Booth.
Simon, 1719, married Lydia Porter.
(IV) John (3), son of John (2) Burroughs, was born in Ellington, Windsor, Conn., in 1711. He married Sarah Abby, of Enfield. He removed to Tolland, and thence in May 1766, to Alstead, New Hampshire. He was a farmer.
Sarah, born 1731.
Joel, 1748, married Phebe Messer, of Walpole.

Colonel David Hobart's regiment. General John Stark's command, 1777.
His brothers, Joel and Timothy, served also in Shepard's company. He doubtless had other service, the record of which is not identified.
He married Eunice Thompson. The history of Alstead incorrectly states that he had no children, and that he moved to Ohio. He lived in Gorham, New Hampshire, and West Milan, same state.
(VI) Joseph, son of Elijah Burroughs, was born in Alstead in 1773, and died July 22, 1832. He settled on a farm about four miles from Gorham, New Hampshire. About 1820 he came with his family to Rouse's Point, N.Y. He was United States health officer during the cholera plague in 1832, and was himself a victim of the disease.
He married Sarah Marshall, born 1782, died Oct. 14, 1856. He engaged in the manufacture of hats, and made the beaver hats for men then in fashion.

Battery Assembly Inspection
Battery Assembly Inspection with Acuros® CQD® SWIR Cameras
Lithium-ion battery technology plays a central role in the race toward mobile electrification. Improved inspection capabilities are needed to help drive down cost, increase energy densities, and improve overall safety and reliability. Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) imaging offers new capabilities for lithium-ion battery inspection.
Lithium-Ion battery cells come in many shapes and sizes. At their core they consist of anode, cathode, and polymer separator layers that are either rolled or stacked into cells before being filled with an electrolyte solution and encapsulated. During the assembly process, machine vision systems are used to measure and inspect various aspects of the assembly process.
Imaging through the Li:Ion separator with SWIR wavelengths
One interesting feature of the polymer separator layers common to most lithium-ion batteries is that their optical transparency increases at higher wavelengths; becoming quite transmissive beyond the visible spectrum where SWIR Vision System's Acuros SWIR and Acuros eSWIR cameras operate.
Our Acuros® CQD® SWIR and eSWIR high resolution cameras deliver full HD imaging capabilities, enabling lithium-ion battery manufacturers to maximize optical ROI while maintaining excellent spatial resolution.
Inspection system configurations
In Figure 2, a SWIR camera integrated into a front-side illuminated battery inspection system captures SWIR photons reflected off the sample and provides an enhanced level of subsurface detail. The flexibility of this inspection setup, using Acuros® CQD® high resolution SWIR cameras, frees tool designers to offer a solution with the following properties:
- Detection Performance: improved visibility through separator material layers
- Thermal Management: no need to contend with sample heating/cooling impacts on the measurement
- Inspection Throughput: acquisition speeds dictated by industry standard GigE acquisition standards
- Total System Cost: Full-HD 1920 x 1080 CQD SWIR cameras enable fewer cameras to be deployed per system
Battery inspection applications examples
Edge Detection: One area where SWIR battery inspection promises to improve upon legacy solutions, is battery capacity. Battery capacity is proportional to the amount of overlapping electrode area achieved during assembly. Since visible imaging solutions are limited in their ability to see through the separator layer materials, underlying edges of electrodes can be obscured thus preventing accurate edge identification and alignment. Even small alignment errors (on the order of 100 um or less) can have a meaningful impact.
The enhanced contrast and superior FOV of SWIR Vision's Acuros CQD SWIR cameras provide the necessary alignment accuracy of inter-layer electrodes leading directly to more available energy storage capacity and longer battery lifetimes.
Figure 3 shows a comparison of visible and SWIR images, demonstrating the enhanced contrast achieved using Acuros CQD SWIR cameras. In practice, alignment of electrode layers depends on accurate detection of the previously positioned electrode layers which are hidden beneath the polymer separator once it is laid down. Increasing the contrast of this underlying edge transition enables edge detection algorithms to function with precision.
Particle contamination is another challenge facing lithium ion battery manufacturers. Several high profile incidents of battery fires and explosions have been triggered by minute particles which managed to become lodged between the electrode-separator interfaces. One of the primary sources of particle contamination is the electrode cutting step where the anode and cathode electrode layers must be cut to size before subsequent rolling or stacking processes. During this cutting process, lithium, carbon, and other electrode coating material fragments have a tendency to delaminate from the edge. Metal shavings and other airborne particles can also pose a risk to cell reliability.
Figure 4 provides a comparison between visible and eSWIR images acquired with and without an overlaying polymer separator. In the visible image (top), there are no particles detected as the separator is virtually opaque to the spectral response of the camera. In the eSWIR image, longer wavelength photons are able to penetrate the separator layer and provide details of the sublayer contamination. The particle sizes in this demonstration were on the order of 50-100um. One of the key benefits of SWIR Vision's 1920×1080 focal plane array technology is that smaller particle sizes can still be detected while still maintaining large imaging FOVs.


How Kelvin Teos The Neuroscience of Daily Success can help you make change in your life for the better – Best in Australia

The Neuroscience of Daily Success is a publication that is soon to be released, authored by Kelvin Teo. Kelvin Teo was once a 9-5 worker who was paid well, however he was left with no time and failing physical and mental health as a result. The dissatisfaction he felt in his life is a grievance that is shared by many workers across the world. The general formula that has been handed to people is that schooling and a good job with good pay will create satisfaction and happiness. However, many people are now realizing that this is not the case, and the average worker is usually unsatisfied with their life.
Kelvin Teo discovered that by changing his mental filter, his perceived outlook on his life, he was able to create meaningful changes that led to lasting impacts on his overall life. In 2017, Kelvin went on a personal development journey to find the answers amongst all the motivational talks and fluff. What he discovered were neuroscience techniques which had concrete results, and were no nonsense in their science, application and results. Through the application of these methods and techniques, Kelvin explains that you are planting a seed, and while this seed may be small and insignificant at the moment, that seed (or changes) will turn into huge impacts on your life.
For Kelvin, one of those seeds was changing his mental filter, and how he perceived life. This change grew into something significant, because Kelvin ended up leaving his job in order to pursue personal development. Now, he makes a living through his work and helping others to achieve this in their life, as well as being able to spend time with his family and take care of his health.
He has since committed to further changes that have become major impacts on his life. Within his book, he teaches the reader how to understand mentalism better, learn and identify mental filters and how much they can impact your life, understand how to achieve continuous success on a daily basis and to understand how to take full control of your universe through the application of effective mental strategies.
The content written above, featured from the book, is enough for the user to be able to read through the whole book, and then upon finishing it, implement changes into their life that will sprout into significant changes for the better.
For anyone looking for a good read into neuroscience applications on everyday life, or for those searching for personal development journeys and techniques/methods, then look no further than The Neuroscience of Daily Success by Kelvin Teo. It is definitely worth a read.

Face Identification by a Cascade of Rejection Classifiers
MetadataShow full item record
Nearest neighbor search is commonly employed in face recognition but it does not scale well to large dataset sizes. A strategy to combine rejection classifiers into a cascade for face identification is proposed in this paper. A rejection classifier for a pair of classes is defined to reject at least one of the classes with high confidence. These rejection classifiers are able to share discriminants in feature space and at the same time have high confidence in the rejection decision. In the face identification problem, it is possible that a pair of known individual faces are very dissimilar. It is very unlikely that both of them are close to an unknown face in the feature space. Hence, only one of them needs to be considered. Using a cascade structure of rejection classifiers, the scope of nearest neighbor search can be reduced significantly. Experiments on Face Recognition Grand Challenge (FRGC) version 1 data demonstrate that the proposed method achieves significant speed up and an accuracy comparable with the brute force Nearest Neighbor method. In addition, a graph cut based clustering technique is employed to demonstrate that the pairwise separability of these rejection classifiers is capable of semantic grouping.


January Expeditions to Antarctica, Falklands, and South Georgia
Ashton Palmer
January Expeditions to Antarctica, Falklands, and South Georgia
Ashton Palmer
For most travelers, visiting the 'White Continent' is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. So, why not do it right the first time and include South Georgia—our travelers never regret it!
Top 5 Reasons to visit Antarctica, Falkland Islands, and South Georgia in January:
1. Best time of year: January is mid-summer in Antarctica, when weather, ice conditions, and wildlife viewing are most conducive to exploration. This is by far the BEST time of year to visit both South Georgia and Antarctica.
A January expedition that includes South Georgia is rare and quite special in our books! Generally speaking, there are very few Antarctica, Falklands, and South Georgia trips in January. Reason being, it is more profitable for shipping companies to schedule in multiple Antarctica Peninsula-only voyages during prime season (January) rather than one or two longer programs that include South Georgia. Voyages to South Georgia are therefore typically early or late in the season, when conditions are not at their most advantageous for several activities.
2. Penguin chicks on Antarctic Peninsula: Your heart will undoubtedly melt at the first sight of these precious baby animals! During January, the chicks are still with their mothers in the rookeries, so you will see hundreds of penguin chicks throughout your expedition. Comical and naturally photogenic, these sweet creatures are hands-down one of the most entertaining highlights on these voyages.
3. Sea ice level: You will see sea ice in Antarctica, but there should not be so much to hinder exploration plans by the captain and expedition leader. Less sea ice also means the start of whale season! The whales cannot feed if there is too much ice. Enjoy spectacular whale watching from the ship or at close proximity from your Zodiac--amazing!!
4. Time to relax and acclimate: It takes a few days to get into a trip and over the jetlag. By doing the longer trip (17/18 days) you will have more than adequate time to rest and acclimate yourself, allowing you to better enjoy the experiences of each destination.
5. Elephant Island: You may have an opportunity to visit Elephant Island where Shackleton and his men were stranded after their ship, The Endurance, was trapped by the ice. January is the best month to attempt a landing here, as conditions during other months are often too dangerous to visit the island. For many travelers, this is truly a wonderful highlight!
My friend Brent Houston, one of the leading seabird biologists in the world, once said that if he only had five days left to live he would spend two of them on South Georgia. Of course, people always ask him where he'd spend the other three. "Getting there!" he answers.
It's true that reaching South Georgia is no easy feat. However, the reward is undisputable. A spectacular wildlife hotspot, those who have visited South Georgia have described it as "an experience of a lifetime," and "beyond imagination..." and even "a different realm." You may ask why there are not more trips going there then? The reality is that most people find it too difficult to be away for 3+ weeks. The shorter trips to the Antarctic Peninsula, therefore, operate more frequently and appeal to more travelers. Plus, simply put, the shipping companies make more money by doing several Antarctica-only trips verses just a few Antarctica, Falklands, South Georgia trips.
So why is South Georgia so special? In my experience, there are only a handful of places on the planet that offer such an incredible wildlife experience, and South Georgia is one of those places. Imagine stepping onto a sandy beach and being welcomed by tens of thousands of king penguins as far as the eye can see....none of them the least bit bothered by your arrival. If anything, you are somewhat of a novelty. South Georgia offers the chance to see several wildlife species that you will not likely see in Antarctica: king penguins, macaroni penguins, thousands of fur and elephant seals, nesting wandering albatross, light mantled sooty albatross, and the list goes on.
Not only is the wildlife abundant, fearless and absolutely stunning, but it inhabits one of the most visually spectacular places on earth. Imagine the jagged peaks of the Swiss Alps, laced with the massive glaciers of Alaska's Glacier Bay, surrounded by Hawaii's verdant green valleys, and you might start to understand the visual topographic feast that is South Georgia. Sparkling sandy beaches and black rocky coastline, this island truly is a jewel of the Southern Ocean.
South Georgia has a rich history, and was home to whalers of the Southern Ocean. Today, there are still a few locations where the hulking whale processing factories and a few retired whaling ships now rest, abandoned. Famed explorer Ernest Shackleton is buried at the former whaling station of Grytviken, a popular landing stop for visitors.
Following are a few memories I have of my time visiting...
- Experiencing the thrill when standing in amongst 100,000 king penguins...The sound, sight, even smell takes your breath away. It's like starring in your own National Geographic documentary!
- Traveling by Zodiac around the rocky coastline to watch young fur seal pups playing in the seaweed. The sea lions are so numerous that at times it seems the water is boiling with these playful marine mammals!
- Hiking up to see the wandering albatross on their nests. These birds often spend years at sea and only occasionally return to the place they were born to nest. Seeing these birds on land gives you incredible perspective on their size. Their wing span measures about 12 feet—the largest of any bird in the world.
- Toasting Sir Ernest Shackleton who was laid to rest in the cemetery in Grytvicken Harbor. It's hard not to be impressed by the accomplishments of 'The Boss' as you retrace his footsteps and voyages throughout the region.
- Hulking elephant seals belching and wallowing, fighting and grunting. These massive marine mammals may seem awkward on land but exhibit some of the most impressive deep diving and swimming techniques of any animal on the planet. And, while the adults may not be described as the most attractive animals, their offspring are adorable little sausage packages with big curious eyes. Who could not be moved by the gaze of an elephant seal pup!
- The graceful courting flights of the light mantled sooty albatross gliding over the tussock grass. These birds mate for life and court by flying in unison. Truly one of the most beautiful things to see, their light brown and white plumage are like a watercolor artist's masterpiece.
- Experiencing nature at its most raw and primal state—huge glaciers gouging smooth valleys, jagged snowy peaks, clouds, sun, wind. Feel the elements, breath in the majestic scenery...get in touch with nature.
- Watching the king penguins for hours, whether the young courting pairs, the fuzzy chicks, or the strutting show-offs. The king penguins breeding cycle is a year and a half and it overlaps year-round. The result is visitors will always have opportunities to see chicks, courting, nesting, and fledging.
- A myriad of colors, South Georgia boasts a rainbow of green, red, and yellow that you will not find in Antarctica. These vibrant colors offer a dramatic contrast to the ice of the Antarctic Peninsula.
South Georgia is a pinch yourself, "am I really here?", life-changing experience. As one of our travelers put it: "Knowing what I do now, this was easily the best travel experience I have ever had. No matter where I travel, I probably will never surpass the experience." – Louise Traige; Los Angeles, CA

In the above noted case, a plaintiff was awarded considerably less than she had claimed for a whiplash injury. The judge, in deciding how much this whiplash case was worth, stated that she would have to "exercise caution" in assessing this claim. This injury, like in many whiplash claims, was not objective. As I've stated in previous posts, an objective injury is an injury that is physically observable in some way. Examples of objective injuries are visible cuts and bruises or x-rays showing broken bones. Although you can dispute how the plaintiff got those injuries; you cannot dispute that they exist. Soft tissue injuries, which are common in whiplash events, on the other hand, are not usually observable and you can dispute that they actually exist.
In coming to their final decision, judges will typically put more weight on the credibility of the plaintiff in cases without objective injuries. In this particular case, the judge cited problems with the plaintiff's credibility, as she had given inconsistent statements. Additionally, the judge also found an adverse inference against the plaintiff, as the plaintiff had not called their family doctor to provide evidence.
This case illustrates many of the common pitfalls in whiplash claims.

In a Yorkshire Evening Post article that appeared on the 23rd June 2007, columnist John Thorpe described the inauguration of Leeds' new trolleybus system that took place on the 20th June 1911. The first bus was driven from Thirsk Row (off Wellington Street) to Farnley by Lord Mayor William Middlebrook. The second bus was driven by Deputy Lord Mayor Frederick James Kitson, the grandson of James Kitson, the founder of the Airedale Foundry. Farnley is four miles away from the city centre, and the round trip took 45 minutes.
The photo below appeared in The Electrical Review published on March 29, 1912, and shows a conductor using a trolley-pole to manipulate the trolley heads.
According to the Electrical Review, Leeds had just one trolleybus route at that time which ran from City Square to Moor Top, via Lower Wortley and Farnley., There were four trolleybuses in operation, and they were run by Leeds Tramways. The buses were manufactured by the Railless Electric Traction Company and were powered by Siemens engines. Later on, two additional routes were added, between Guiseley and Otley, and Guiseley and Burley-in-Wharfedale.
Leeds got rid of its trolleybuses in 1928.


8.4 h2pas - C header to Pascal Unit converter
h2pas attempts to convert a C header file to a Pascal unit. it can handle most C constructs that one finds in a C header file, and attempts to translate them to their Pascal counterparts.
See below (constructs) for a full description of what the translator can handle. The unit with Pascal declarations can then be used to access code written in C.
The output of the h2pas program is written to a file with the same name as the C header file that was used as input, but with the extension .pp The output file that h2pas creates can be customized in a number of ways by means of many options.

I am new to haskell, and the code below
import Data.Attoparsec.Text.Lazy
import qualified Data.Text.Lazy as T
toEol :: Parser T.Text
toEol = takeTill isEndOfLine
produces the following error message:
Couldn't match type 'Data.Text.Internal.Text' with 'TL.Text'
Expected type: Parser TL.Text
Actual type: Parser Data.Text.Internal.Text
In the return type of a call of 'takeTill'
In the expression: takeTill isEndOfLine
In an equation for 'cell':
 cell = takeTill isEndOfLine
Where does the type Data.Text.Internal.Text come from? Importing Data.Text instead of Data.Text.Lazy seems to solve the issue.

See the documentation for the Data.Text.Internal module. The strict Text type Data.Text.Text is actually a re-export of Data.Text.Internal.Text. – Mikhail Glushenkov Dec 9 '13 at 0:26

The problem with your code is that takeTill returns a parser for strict Text, but your type signature signature says that it's a parser for lazy Text. That's why changing the import line solves the issue. – Mikhail Glushenkov Dec 9 '13 at 0:34

@MikhailGlushenkov- I agree with everything you said, but find it odd that attoparsec is exporting the non-lazy version of takeTill when he has only imported Data.Attoparsec.Text.Lazy.... Is this a bug? Looking in the documentation there doesn't even seem to be a lazy version of takeTill (which I accept, but why then export the obviously wrong one). He can convert using fromStrict, but that kind of ruins the whole point of using lazy :) – jamshidh Dec 9 '13 at 0:40

@jamshidh I encourage you to file a bug report on the attoparsec bug tracker. It seems like a mistake to me, and if it's not a bug, it shouldn't take long for the library authors to set you straight. – Daniel Wagner Dec 9 '13 at 4:17

From the documentation of Data.Attoparsec.Text: "Attoparsec is specialised to deal only with strict Text input. Efficiency concerns rule out both lists and lazy text. The usual use for lazy text would be to allow consumption of very large input without a large footprint. For this need, Attoparsec's incremental input provides an excellent substitute, with much more control over when input takes place. If you must use lazy text, see the Lazy module, which feeds lazy chunks to a regular parser." So I don't think it's a bug. – kosmikus Dec 9 '13 at 8:28

Holistic Stress Reduction in the Era of COVID-19 through Multimodal Personal Chronicles in College Students
Jessica BorelliOther PIs/Investigators/PhD students:
Amir Hossein Aqajari
The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced a variety of challenging circumstances on college campuses, including the need for social distancing (resulting in the potential for social isolation and loneliness), anxiety regarding infection, and uncertainty regarding the future. Chronic stress exposure leads to long-term adverse mental health outcomes such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidality, and addiction. Emerging adulthood is a risky period of development during which rates of mental disorders increase dramatically, changes which may in part be due to rapid shifts in roles, a lack of structure in daily routines, and relative immaturity of brain structures. Stress management and reduction are crucial capacities for young adults since they often experience high-intensity negative emotions and lack the maturity required to exert top-down control over these intense emotional experiences. This project builds capacity in a holistic stress reduction strategy combining emerging wearable Internet of Things (IoT) technologies with a multi-modal lifelogging framework.

Advanced Trigger Setup
The Advanced Trigger Setup tab of the Trigger dialog box allows you to specify trigger Hysteresis, Slope, and Minimum Timebase Position.
On Option ETR instruments, the hysteresis and slope settings are unavailable (shaded) whenever:
 - Pattern Lock is on
 - Clock Trigger or Clock/Divided is selected
 - The trigger source is set to Free Run or CDR.
These settings are located on the General Trigger Setup tab.
Hysteresis
Trigger hysteresis helps to prevent false triggers from occurring on a falling edge due to noise when the rising edge is selected as the trigger edge (or on a rising edge when the falling edge is selected as the trigger edge). The voltage through which the trigger signal must pass before another valid trigger is accepted is known as the arming voltage level. Hysteresis is the voltage difference between the arming level voltage and the trigger threshold level voltage.
Select Normal for the instrument to trigger if a trigger signal crosses both the arming voltage level and the trigger threshold voltage level. Normal provides good trigger performance while minimizing false triggers.
Select High Sensitivity when the hysteresis is small to allow best sensitivity to high frequency signals. This allows smaller signals to be used as triggers, but can result in false triggers if there is significant noise on the trigger signal, or if the trigger signal is not monotonic in the region of the trigger threshold level.
When using the 86107A Precision Timebase module and the time reference is set, all external trigger sources and controls are disabled.
Slope
Select either the Rising Edge or Falling Edge. Triggering may occur on the rising or the falling transition of the trigger edge, but not both. The instrument identifies the trigger edge as a specified slope. Once the slope is found, the instrument triggers when the trigger signal crosses the threshold level.
Performing an Auto Scale does not affect the transition direction of the trigger edge.
The trigger signal must be connected to the trigger input of the instrument. For example, if you are using the trigger input on the instrument front panel, the trigger signal must be connected to the front panel trigger input. Auto Scale can then set the trigger level.
Pattern Lock / Rapid Eye
This setting allows you to specify the minimum trigger delay while in Pattern Lock when an 83496A/B clock recovery module is used. You can use this control to set the trigger-delay in Jitter Mode. In Jitter Mode, when making measurements on devices that employ a modulated clock, reduce the trigger's Minimum Timebase Position to 24.1 ns to ensure that lock can be established. Jitter measurements on devices with a modulated clock can result in artificially higher measured jitter levels, due to the instrument's trigger delay. Reducing the Minimum Timebase Position reduces the amount of observed jitter. Reduce the value from a default of 40.1 ns to its minimum value of 10.0 ns (N1000A) or 24.1 ns (86100D). Spread spectrum clocks that are used in computers are an example of a modulated clock.

Through a Treehugger's article on kinetic LED chandelliers we found something interesting about the subject.
A British interdisciplinary studio called Troika offers „a tantalizing glimpse" of what energy efficient lighting could bring, whirling geometric light forms.
„Thixotrope" the kinetic LED chandellier is made by eigh mechanical and illuminated structures of tensed steel banding outfitted with rows of LED lights. It is temporary installed in the London's Selfridges departament store.
Designers described it being a: „continuously revolve around their own axis thereby materializing the path of the light and dissolving the spinning structures into compositions of aerial cones, spheres and ribbons of warm and cold light while giving life and shape to an immaterial construct."
To use LED lighting is more than vital in creating space, is energy efficient.


Organization of a nomadic apiary
Organization of a nomadic apiary
The article tells about the organization of a nomadic apiary. The most important thing for a nomadic apiary is the location of the bees or in the pavilion on the platform. I advise you to immediately exclude the option, when the beehive is on the ground, and for transportation it is required to load them into the car and unload it to a new place, because This method requires the hiring of movers, and the time of transportation of bees at night is reduced because of the time spent on loading. Preference should be given to keeping the bees on the platform because of fire safety, because The inflamed platform can be extinguished, having dumped a beehive from a platform and extinguish a fire on the ground, the pavilion can not be extinguished.
So, you are going to create a nomadic apiary. First, you need to determine the number of hives located in the apiary. The recommended number of beehives to one beekeeper is from 50 to 75, depending on the age. The next step is to choose a platform. You can buy a ready platform, or buy a trailer, then build a platform out of it yourself.
Depending on the configuration of the platform, the time of manufacturing the platform from a conventional trailer is several months. This interval depends on many factors: one or more tiers of hives; with additional retractable modules or not. The next article will be about the construction of single-tier platforms with additional retractable modules (the name "exhaust" will be used later).
Proceeding from the experience of operating various platforms, we give some recommendations for building a platform – it is recommended to make a single-tier platform, since multi-tiered platforms have a high center of gravity, which leads to an increased probability of tipping over. If you still decided to make a multi-tier platform, then it is advisable to make the top tier of the platform pushing to the side, otherwise it is inconvenient to cooperate with families in the lower tiers.
Extraction is desirable to make a retractable behind the platform, since there is no need to disengage the tractor from the platform during daytime idle time, or when traveling over long distances. If you increase the overall rigidity of the platform – during transport the trailer will stop swinging.
At the location of the permanent location of the platform, it is desirable to have an auxiliary apiary. It is a small family or nucleus. Their main purpose is to strengthen the main family at the time of bribery, as well as the operative replanting of the queens to the main family with its loss. For the possibility of strengthening the main families, the size of the framework of the auxiliary and main families should be the same.

text: The'management' of midlife women's bodies is becoming an increasingly important focus for both themselves and medical 'experts'. Health technologies play a major part in this process, given health promotion messages about their usefulness for maintaining and enhancing the quality of life. But how do individual women interpret such messages? This paper explores the factors that impact upon health decision making in relation to a group of these technologies. In particular, we examine how related risks are assessed by women themselves and jointly with health professionals, in the clinical context. Drawing upon literature from the sociology of the body and embodiment, debates about risk and feminist research on the menopause, we argue that midlife needs to be understood as an embodied experience and that women's decisions about technology-based health interventions need to be contextualised. The paper draws upon research data from interviews with individual women and health professionals, and recordings of clinical consultations which relate to the specific technologies of HRT, bone densitometry and breast screening. The data reveal the emergence of two major risk narratives within consultations and interviews, health risks and social risks. We conclude that the health decisions and practices of both lay women and health professionals reflect a complex mixture of expert knowledge and advice, and embodied cultural experience.

In celebration of National Ag Day on March 20th, let's give a nod of appreciation to the Ag Transporters who do the hard work within the industry. If you are curious about the job and considering joining the ranks, you should definitely ask these three important questions…
What is Ag Transportation?
Ag Transportation is the community of men and women who drive the country's farm-fresh food from where it's grown to wherever it needs to go. Advanced Career Institute's training will give you all the skills needed to learn the basics of truck driving. Students will also learn how to transport the important agricultural products grown in California.
What is the importance of Ag Transportation?
Truck drivers transport around 500 million tons of grain produced in the US every single year. California's farms and ranches produce over one-third of those vegetables and two-thirds of the fruits and nuts for this country. The most efficient system for transporting these fresh and healthy goods are the highways and truck drivers of the state. Goods often need to be transported more than once before they reach their final destination. Those that do these important jobs of ensuring the quality and safe delivery of these products are Ag Transporters.
What are the benefits of being an Ag Transporter?
The benefits of being an Ag Transporter are vast. Ag Transporters are the first point of contact for receiving and transporting the agricultural products and livestock vital to the food industry. All you need to qualify is a high school diploma and the CDL Certification we provided with our 20-week Ag Transportation training. It's also important to consider that the current future outlook for work as a truck driver is extremely promising.

Adrenalectomy resulted in a significantly greater rise in plasma potassium concentration compared with controls (1.46 ± 0.11 vs. 0.92 ± 0.05 mEq/l, P < 0.001) despite the excretion of an identical percentage (47%) of the administered potassium load in 2 hr. Somatostatin-induced insulinopenia (insulin levels decreased from 37 ± 5 to 20 ± 3 μU/ml) was also associated with a significantly greater increment in plasma potassium concentration (1.51 ± 0.20 mEq/l, P < 0.001) compared with controls, despite the excretion of a similar amount (39%) of the administered potassium load. In animals with combined adrenal and insulin deficiency, the rise in plasma potassium concentration occurred earlier and remained elevated for a more prolonged period of time compared with animals with either adrenalectomy or insulinopenia alone. Conclusion. During acute potassium loading in the rat, insulin and adrenal hormones play an important role in maintaining normal potassium homeostasis, primarily by enhancing potassium uptake by extrarenal tissues.

The 42 mile Rio Grande trail connects Glenwood Springs to Aspen along a historic railroad grade. A community project involving the Roaring Fork Transit Authority, SGM Engineering, Roaring Fork Mountain Bike Association, and Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers aimed at revitalizing the old railroad corridor in downtown Carbondale into a more diverse and engaging experience. This was also the first phase of RFTA Trails providing alternate trail lines in the same corridor.
The aim of the additional trails in the corridor was to:
Provide alternate routes and experiences in the same corridor to alleviate congestion on the paved trail
Serve as a beginner-friendly "intro to mountain biking" trail
Fitting three different alignments within a relatively narrow corridor called for creativity in trail routing. Utilizing the excavated topography alongside the railroad bed lent the singletrack trail dynamic interest, while remaining accessible to beginner-level riders. The gravel walking path was laid out to have a curvilinear effect, differentiating it from the paved path, and serving as a transition to the singletrack.
The initial phase was a community project with RFTA trails, RFOV, RFMBA, Carbondale Arts Council, and SGM. The existing railroad corridor retained a harsh, industrial vibe in the midst of a town that prides itself on an appreciation of beauty, and prioritizes outdoor recreation. These various entities came together to remake this connection from downtown Carbondale to nearby Red Hill more attractive, and engaging. SGM contacted Gumption Trail Works to design both the soft surface walking trail, and singletrack. GTW also performed machine construction of the singletrack, and assisted in leading volunteer crews from RFMBA, and RFOV in finishing work.
The trail has become a community favorite; used by commuters, recreationalists, and families.
As part of the reclamation phase of installing underground utilities along the Rio Grande corridor, Holy Cross Energy reached out Gumption Trail Works to construct a trail on top of the disturbed area. Using excess fill material, GTW transformed the flat, 2 dimensional utility right of way into a dynamic and engaging trail corridor.

The sciences division was the corps of officers within Starfleet who specialized in both scientific and medical research and control functions on starbases, aboard starships, and at Starfleet Command. Members of the sciences division specialized in sensors, research, theoretical and physical laboratory work, biological studies, and also as technicians, medics, and surgeons.
Officers who belonged to the sciences division sometimes wore the division color of a department other than that in which they specialized. For example, if a science officer became a department head, he might have worn the colors of command division, or if he had a dual specialty in an operations division department, an alternate color might have been worn.
Beginning with the Earth Starfleet of the 2140s and 2150s, line officers and noncoms of science division wore blue division stripes on their uniforms. This use of blue continued through several uniform styles until 2260s. On starships, such as the USS Enterprise, science division crewmembers had a specialty insignia in their insignia patch, a circle with two longitudinal lines dividing it.
By the 2270s, new uniforms showed different division colors, with the sciences division signified by two differing colors. Science research and technical staff wore orange behind their Starfleet badge, on uniform bands, accessories, and epaulets. Medical crew wore green badge backings and accessories.
The sciences division was changed again with the 2280s uniforms, with green continuing to represent medical personnel, but science and technical staff now wore gray colors (which was a style shared by services personnel of operations division). The insignia used gave the officer the option of wearing command division white uniform insignia, with another department color like sciences' banded across, or the opposite, with department color insignia (green or grey, in this case) with command white banded across.
On the uniforms used from 2350s onward, blue had again become the sciences division color.
The second variant of the 2371 uniform, while still referred to as blue, was actually a shade of green, jungle green. The color was later be applied to the 2373 uniforms as well.
|Starfleet uniform sciences division colors:|
|22nd century||2230s||AR 2250s||2250s-2260s|| Mid 2260s-|
|Mid 2270s||Late 2270s-2350s||2350s-2370s|| Late 2360s-|

- During the original Star Trek, sciences blue first appeared in "The Cage" and was regularly worn by the science station officers, medical personnel, and security personnel who later wore red after 2265. (TOS: "The Cage", "Where No Man Has Gone Before") Science Officer Spock wore sciences blue, although he briefly wore command gold for his dual position as executive officer. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before") Some scientists (like astrobiologist Ann Mulhall and historian Marla McGivers) even wore operations red, suggesting they had more operational primary duties. The work coveralls were muted variations in the pilots from the duty uniforms and were light blue in color. Later they matched the blue of the standard duty uniform.
- Apparently officers with degrees of scientific or technical training held positions in other departments than just science and medical. Extra characters in blue uniforms were often seen occupying posts normally occupied by command or operations division personnel, up to and including captaincy. One notable example is Hoshi Sato who performed the role of an operations communications officer, while wearing the department color of a exolinguist.
- In the movie era, Star Trek: The Motion Picture featured Spock wearing orange bands and McCoy wearing green. By the Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan uniforms, McCoy continued to wear green, but science officers wore grey, according to schemes and insignia of the later movie-era uniforms by Robert Fletcher.
- The decision to switch the meaning of the colors for command and ops divisions between the TOS and TNG uniform styles was made in pre-production of "Encounter at Farpoint". However, the TOS blue was kept as the sciences division color.
- Most often, in the Federation Starfleet, all captains and admirals wore command division colors; however there were exceptions, which proves that this was not a requirement. In TOS, Captain Krasnovsky wore a science blue dress uniform, the only captain in Trek to ever do so.


text: The present study systematically investigated the effects of warehouse and greenhouse aquaponic growing conditions on consumer acceptability of different basil cultivars. A total of 105 consumers rated their liking of three basil cultivars (Nufar, Genovese, and Eleonora), each grown in three conditions (aquaponically in a greenhouse, aquaponically in a warehouse, both with Cyprinus carpio, Koi fish, and grown in soilless medium). We used linear random effect models to investigate consumer preferences for attributes of basil plants grown in different environments by controlling for individual-specific random effects. Participants generally liked the soilless medium–grown and greenhouse aquaponically grown basil plants more than the warehouse aquaponically grown plants. The soilless medium–grown basil had the highest appearance liking and flavor intensity, followed by the greenhouse aquaponic grown and then by the warehouse aquaponic grown. Aquaponically grown cultivars were rated less bitter than soilless medium–grown cultivars.

Buttercup Information | Evidenced-Based Supplement Guide on MedicineNet.com - How does Buttercup work?
How does Buttercup work?
Buttercup contains toxins which are very irritating to the skin and the lining of the mouth, stomach, and intestines. There is not enough information to know how buttercup might work for medicinal uses.
Are there safety concerns?
Fresh buttercup is UNSAFE. It may cause severe irritation of the digestive tract, with colic and diarrhea. Irritation of the bladder and urinary tract can also occur. Skin contact may cause blisters and burns that are difficult to heal. It can also increase the risk of sunburn.
Some of the toxins in fresh buttercup might be destroyed in the drying process, but there isn't enough information to know if dried buttercup might be safe.
Do not take buttercup if:
 - You are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Dosing considerations for Buttercup.
The appropriate dose of buttercup depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for buttercup. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

Wetland Education Basics for Outdoor Oriented Teaching
Project WEBFOOT is an international, interdisciplinary education outreach program and curriculum created by Ducks Unlimited to bring wetland education to life for 4th-6th grade students.
The fascinating world of wetlands is all around us. It exists in the many marshes, rivers, ponds, and swamps found throughout North America, even among our cities and suburbs. But wetlands aren't spectacular, high-profile places like mountains and canyons. They don't jump out and grab our attention. Instead, they perform their critical functions slowly and quietly—out of sight and, more often than not, out of mind.
Because many people are unaware of the tremendous value wetlands provide for our environment, economy, and well being, these amazing places continue to be destroyed at an alarming rate. To reverse this trend we must educate young people about the importance of wetlands, and empower them to make informed decisions about the future of these vital habitats.
The goal of Project WEBFOOT is to raise awareness and appreciation of wetlands among students, teachers, parents, and communities. Just as wetlands are a critical part of the interconnected web of life, each member of Project WEBFOOT has an important role to play in this exciting outreach program.

ICF CoreSets-plattformen för autism och adhd.
- Functional assessment and analytics
On this website, you can use the ICF CoreSets assessment tool to map functioning in children, adolescents and adults with autism (ASD) and/or ADHD. Assessment results are presented in a clear and dynamic manner, providing grounds for a better understanding of an individual in its environment.
You can also find information about ICF and ICF Core Sets, as well as educational films and instructions on how to use the ICF CoreSets tool.
The tool can be used by:
- Individuals diagnosed with ASD and/or ADHD
- Individuals undergoing assessment for ASD or ADHD
- Their next of kin
- Professionals in healthcare, education,, social services, employment and similar settings
What does function mean?
Function is the way in which individuals act and respond in different environments in everyday life, and how they meet requirements and expectations. Function always arises in interplay between the unique personal prerequisites of an individual and the situation and context they are living in.
The ICF CoreSets tool aims to identify individual strengths and weaknesses, as well as facilitating and hindering environmental factors. Results provide a holistic understanding of an individual's functioning, and a solid basis for understanding diversity and adequate support measures.
What is the ICF?
The ICF CoreSets tool is based on the World Health Organization's (WHO) classification system International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). ICF is a globally accepted system for assessment of the following areas of function: Body functions, body structures, activities and participation, environmental factors and personal factors. It is considered standard practice and is recommended by national and international organizations and guidelines.
What are ICF Core Sets?
ICF Core Sets are short versions of the ICF, targeting a specific diagnosis. ICF Core Sets for ADHD and ASD were developed through extensive research at the Center of Neurodevelopmental Disorders at Karolinska Institutet (KIND) in collaboration with WHO and the ICF Research Branch Institute in Switzerland, as well as international experts and stakeholders. The ICF CoreSets tool is a rating system derived from the ICF Core Sets for ADHD and ASD.

Abstract or Description
When using wireless networks, some chats, web searches, and other information are broadcast out onto the local network. Other users on the same network may intercept and read this information. Unfortunately, without detailed knowledge of underlying technologies, many users are unable to properly evaluate the risks involved in everyday communication tasks. This study aims to develop techniques for allowing users without technical backgrounds to form more accurate expectations of privacy. We have developed a method for notifying users when their computer leaks such information. A large projected display placed in a common workplace shows excerpts from network traffic. A two-week trial was conducted to measure the effects of the display. Data was collected from network traffic monitoring and two paper surveys, which were conducted before and after the trial.

(Phys.org) -- Researchers in Britain are confused by the mute swans of Abbotsbury Swannery. They lay four to ten eggs during a laying cycle which lasts generally a couple of days. During that time, they sometimes sit on the eggs laid up to that point, but not long enough to cause the eggs to begin incubation; that doesnt start until all of the eggs have been laid. So why do they bother at all beforehand? It seems like a waste of energy, which birds as a general rule, tend to avoid. Thats what this new research aims to find out. The group have taken a real egg, sawed off one end and fitted it inside with electronics embedded in rubbery silicon.
The electronics consist of an accelerometer to measure movement, a radio signal generator, a thermometer to find out just how much heat the birds are offering to the eggs both before all are laid and after and a chip to do all the conversions. The end product is good enough to fool the swans and thereby give the researchers a way to measure what goes on with the egg, something that could not be done any other way. The egg sends data to a remote computer eight times a second, where the information is analyzed and stored.
The swannery in Abbotsbury has hosted swans, scientists believe, for over a thousand years and is unique in that its the only mute swan colony that is managed by humans. Its also a tourist attraction. Because of that, the swans are used to people and dont grow flustered and leave when they come around. The colony typically supports over 600 swans of which generally just a hundred and fifty are part of mutual pairings. Nesting swans are generally quite territorial leading to nests that are rather far apart. In Abbotsbury, thats not possible, so the birds sometimes lose track of young as they wander into the nests of others nearby. Back in the 1500s the swans were eaten at special events by monks from the Benedictine monastery at St. Peter's.
In addition to figuring out why the birds roost before laying all their eggs, the researchers hope to learn more about the process by which cygnets hatch in general.

Ho-Ho-Ho, Where Did My Specimens Go?
Some days it may feel like we're living in the land of misfit toys, with customers complaining about lost specimens, admins attempting to track down couriers on their routes or fielding angry calls from physician offices wondering when your courier is going to come by for pick-up. In this article we'll explore why specimens go missing, how to handle the situation, and how to move beyond those challenges.
Why specimens typically go missing
Like anything else, specimens can get misplaced. In the course of a busy day when a courier has multiple stops and dozens of bags and boxes to pick-up/drop-off, there may be a situation where something was misplaced. Perhaps a specimen fell out of the cooler and into the car? Or maybe the courier came by for pick up and was distracted by something else (like mail or other packages), and completely forget about the specimens, or maybe the physician staff forgot to place a specimen in the bin. It's human nature, and when processes are manual, accidents can happen.
Handling lost specimens
Attempting to track down a lost specimen can sometimes be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. It's a he-said, she-said situation and accountability comes into play, if processes are largely manual. So, what do you do if a specimen goes missing? Most importantly, stay calm. Speak with the courier about their route, help them run through the course of the day with a series of questions to see if it can jog their memory. Always check the vehicle first to rule out the possibility of a specimen falling out of a bag or cooler.
Fear not! These challenges can easily be overcome.
MCE was designed specifically for labs to help them track couriers and specimens as well as alleviate the burden of manually scheduling routes. In fact, there are a number of measures and checkpoints in place to reduce instances of lost specimens that can be utilized on a real-time basis. For example:
 1. MCE will notify the courier at the drop-off point if a specimen wasn't scanned.
 2. Signature capture at the pick-up point creates accountability for the customer and courier.
 3. Courier pickup from physician offices, and specimens delivered to the lab, are easily tracked and recorded to validate courier stops.
 4. When scanned, pick-up time is recorded, and the specimen is entered into MCE's system for tracking delivery.
Learn More
With MCE we understand the complexities of courier management and specimen tracking, and in large part have developed MCE based on the feedback and input we've gathered over the years from lab customers. When couriers are armed with a mobile computing device like the Honeywell CT40, they can easily scan a barcode of the specimen and enter specimen count and sample identification to start the tracking process. Along with the information gathered by the courier, key information such as pick-up time is recorded automatically by the system, and routes are optimized through GPS built into the system.
When MCE is implemented, it creates a chain of custody that is not labor intensive to manage and what takes hours or days to handle manually, takes just a few minutes with MCE.

Buying snake fruit, if you're not from Asia perhaps is not as common as buying apple, banana or papaya. Outside Asia, this fruit is actually a rare gem. However, when you find it in the fruit stall in your country, how would you choose the tastiest one?
Picking snake fruit with the perfect ripe condition is not as easy as what you might think it is. So, have you ever wondered why the snake fruit you bought from that fruit stall is not as tasty as what the seller tells you? Did you hesitate to buy it? Because the last time you get it from that shop tastes bitter, too tart or even worse, it's rotten?
If that's the case, then you should definitely know how to buy the tastiest snake fruit from your nearest fruit stall, if any. Take my tips and you will never get that ugly snake fruit ever again.
How to buy the perfect ripe snake fruit from your local fruit stall
- Pick the best cultivar
Did you know: In Indonesia alone, there are at least 30 known snake fruit cultivars, some of them have several varieties and the genus of salacca has 22 species.
First of all, the best cultivars are actually Salak Pondoh, Salak Bali and Salak Padang Sidempuan. The others aren't that tasty, so when purchasing the fruit you should ask the seller if it is one of that cultivars.
- Pick the fruit that has yellowish brown skin color
Snake fruit that has a perfect ripe condition will have yellowish brown skin color. So, every time you buy snake fruits from the fruit stall, you should obviously check the skin color.
- Pick oval shaped snake fruit
The sweetness of a snake fruit, especially from Pondoh cultivar can be spotted from the shape. The more oval the shape, the sweeter it gets. So, make sure you choose the most oval shaped snake fruit.
- Pick snake fruit with wide gaps in its scale
The gap in snake fruit scale marks weather it's ripe or not. A perfectly ripe snake fruit will have wide gaps in its scale, conversely young snake fruit has little gaps. So, make sure you pick the one that has the most wide gaps.
- Try to press the tip gently
Press the tip gently, see if it spits water. If it does, then you shouldn't pick that one. When the tip spits water, it simply means that the fruit is overripe or it might actually rotten.
- Pick the fruit yourself
More often than not, when buying a kilo or two snake fruits, the seller will pack it for you. So, it is better to select several fruits then give it to the seller to pack. So you don't end up getting cheated or bringing home overripe snake fruits.
That's how to buy the tastiest snake fruit. Make sure to check all the tips above before buying one. Do you have any good or bad experiences when buying snake fruit? Share with us your story in the comment section below.
