Keeping the Found Things Found
This weeks New York Times Circuits article: Now Where Was I? New Ways to Revisit Web Sites, which covers the Keep the Found Things Found research project at University of Washington. The program is summarized:
This topic is at the heart of the Personal Information Cloud. How does a person keep the information they found attracted to themselves once they found that information. Keeping the found information at hand to use when the case to use the information arises is a regular struggle. The Personal Information Cloud is the rough cloud of information that follows the user. Users have spent much time and effort to draw information they desire close to themselves (Model of Attraction). Once they have the information, is the information in a format that is easy for the user or consumer of the information to use or even reuse.

Forest Degradation Layer
The Forest Degradation layer code creates the degradation layers and disturbance matrix values, including the conservation areas. The parameters input_pf and output_gcbm define the folders where the permanent forest files are and the folder of the output data for the model.
The other parameters include the permanent forest layer in the FREL for two years, 2001 and 2010, defined as year_t1 and year_t2. The number of quantiles to represent the degradation is defined as n_quantiles.
We read the permanent forest shapefile and the codes that indicate degradation are 2,3,4 and 10000, 10001 in the "Carta". Do note that the change in CO2 (CAM_CO2) has to be negative.
pf <- st_read(dsn = input_pf, layer = layer_pf)
degradation <- dplyr::filter(
 pf,
 Carta %in% c("2", "3", "4", "10000", "10001"),
 CAM_CO2 < 0)
A random year is defined for the degradation between 2002 and 2010 and the regional average of CO2 is calculated. The percentage of the regional CO2 that is lost in each degradation pixel is also calculated and the shapefile is divided into two parts: degradation that occurs in conservation areas and degradation that occurs outside of conservation areas.
degradation$year<-sample((year_t1+1):year_t2,nrow(degradation),replace=TRUE)
degradation$year
regional_CO2 <- _PHONE_ * 1.75 * 0.5) * 0.5 * (44/12)
degradation$p_regional <- (degradation$CAM_CO2 / regional_CO2) * (-1)
degradation_c <- dplyr::filter(degradation,ca_ras_erp>0)
degradation <- dplyr::filter(degradation,ca_ras_erp==0)
The quantiles are further calculated and the mean of each quantile is calculated. The name of the disturbance according to the quantile (intensity level) is also fetched.
degradation$quantile <- cut(degradation$p_regional , breaks = quantile(degradation$p_regional, seq(0,1,length.out = n_quantiles+1)),labels=1:n_quantiles, include.lowest=TRUE)
means_quantile <- group_by(as.data.frame(degradation), quantile) %>% summarize(mean_quan = mean(p_regional))
degradation$Perturb <- paste0("Forest ", "Degradation Chile"," intensity lvl ",degradation$quantile)
The same operation is performed with the degradation in conservation areas. Both of the degradations are joined in a single shape, and a shapefile is written which will be used as input for the tiler (GCBM).
degradation <- rbind(degradation,degradation_c)
degradation<-degradation[,c("year","Perturb")]
degradation<-st_transform(degradation, "+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0")
degradation$year<-as.integer(degradation$year)
We then use the information of each quantile to make the disturbance matrices to insert them into the gcbm_input database. For the same, we create the disturbance type CSV and start the id counting from 9003 (9001 and 9002 are deforestation and substitution).
In a for loop, we will calculate the disturbance in each iteration, with the first degradation outside conservation and then inside conservation areas.
for (i in 1:(n_quantiles*2)) {
 if (i==n_quantiles+1){
 lvl <- 1
 }
 if (i<= n_quantiles){
 name <- paste0("Forest Degradation Chile intensity lvl ",lvl)
 } else {
 name <- paste0("Forest Conservation Degradation Chile intensity lvl ",lvl)
 }
 code <- id
 disturbance_type <- cbind(id,disturbance_category_id,transition_land_class_id,name,code)
 if (i==1){
 disturbance_types_full <- disturbance_type
 } else {
 disturbance_types_full <- rbind(disturbance_types_full,disturbance_type)
 }
 id <- id + 1
 lvl <- lvl + 1
}
The same process is repeated for the disturbance matrix CSV where the data frame just assigns an id and name to the disturbance matrix. It starts from 903 (901 and 902 are deforestation and substitution) and the first degradation is calculated outside conservation and then inside conservation areas.
Finally, the CSV is inputted into the gcbm_input database and the disturbance matrix association CSV is created. The disturbance matrix corresponds to spatial unit 36 (British Columbia and Pacific maritime). The disturbance type ID starts from 9003 while the disturbance matrix ID starts from 903. Similar to prior methods, the first degradation is calculated outside conservation and then inside conservation areas.
for (i in 1:(n_quantiles*2)) {
 disturbance_matrix_association <- cbind(spatial_unit_id,disturbance_type_id,disturbance_matrix_id)
 if (i==1){
 disturbance_matrix_association_full <- disturbance_matrix_association
 } else {
 disturbance_matrix_association_full <- rbind(disturbance_matrix_association_full,disturbance_matrix_association)
 }
 disturbance_type_id <- disturbance_type_id + 1
 disturbance_matrix_id <- disturbance_matrix_id + 1
}
In a similar manner, we calculate the disturbance matrix values CSV where the dataframe includes the proportion of each reservoir that goes to CO2.
for (i in 1:(n_quantiles*2)) {
 disturbance_matrix_id <- rep(dist_id,6)
 source_pool_id <- c(1,2,3,6,7,8)
 sink_pool_id <- rep(22,6)
 if (i<= n_quantiles){
 proportion <- rep(means_quantile$mean_quan[i],6)
 } else {
 proportion <- rep(means_quantile_c$mean_quan[i-n_quantiles],6)
 }
 disturbance_matrix <- cbind(disturbance_matrix_id,source_pool_id,sink_pool_id,proportion)
 if (i==1){
 disturbance_matrix_full <- disturbance_matrix
 } else {
 disturbance_matrix_full <- rbind(disturbance_matrix_full,disturbance_matrix)
 }
 dist_id <- dist_id + 1
}
Finally, we write the CSV that is inserted into the gcbm_input database.

The data that's analyzed by seismologists following a large earthquake is usually the record of a catastrophe — it typically means something really bad has just happened. But what if you could take this data and turn it into something beautiful instead? That's the thinking of designer James Boock who has rigged together an elaborate paint-globbing mechanism that uses seismic wave data to generate colorful abstract images. The end result is one-half geology, one-half art.
It's called the Quakescape 3D Fabricator and its construction was inspired after a major quake hit Christchurch, New Zealand last year. It works by taking earthquake data from the site GeoNet and converts it into a series of visual patterns.
The canvas is a moulded, topographical landscape that's shaped like a real section from Christchurch. The colors, which are ejected from a series of hanging cartridges, represent the magnitude of the seismic waves.
Boock put this together with the help of Josh Newsome-White, Brooke Bowers, Hannah Warren, George Redmond, Richie Stewart and Philippa Shipley.

Jonas Cuaron, son of filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron, shows creative daring in his first feature.
An elegant formal experiment — building a film entirely of still images — gives rise to a warm, involving story in "Year of the Nail" (more poetically titled "Ano Una" in Spanish), a bittersweet time-capsule tale of a Mexican teen's infatuation with an American college student. The film recently screened at AFI Fest.
After amassing 8,000 pictures of family and friends over a yearlong period, Cuaron selected about a third of them and began constructing his script. The camera subjects provide the voice-over dialogue and thoughts of their characters (with the exception of Cuaron's grandfather, Salvador Elizondo, who died during the photography phase of the project and is voiced by actor Fernando Becerril).
Cuaron creates a sense of movement through successions of fixed-frame images of characters moving through space and, not least, through Martin Hernandez's evocative sound design. More interesting, he has successfully assembled a film backward, beginning not with the written word but with the image.
The strategy at first feels like a hindrance to storytelling but ends up being expressive. Divided into chapters defined by the seasons, "Nail" begins in black and white, adding color in the second section, Autumn. The color saturation deepens as the year progresses and feelings deepen between the two main characters.
Eirann Harper (the filmmaker's girlfriend and one of the film's producers) plays New York student Molly, who's in Mexico City for the summer to learn Spanish. Self-conscious about being "so white" but eager to explore her surroundings, she nonetheless lets her plans to photograph the city get pushed aside and spends most of her time with an unseen French boyfriend, the latest in a string of bad romantic choices. Returning over Thanksgiving in hopes of a more authentic experience, Molly rents a guest house from a divorced woman. Again forsaking her photography plans, she ends up spending much of her time with the 14-year-old son, who falls hard for her.
Diego Catano (the director's brother), who made a strong impression in the coming-of-age tale "Duck Season," brings an innocent vulnerability to the sex-obsessed virgin Diego. The film's title refers to a soccer injury that has left him with a troublesome ingrown toenail, a problem that isn't resolved until story's end, along with other growing pains.
In its brief running time, the film touches upon matters of youth and time, family, the relationship between tourism and traditional culture and photography itself. Amid the digital-picture snapping at his 70th birthday, Diego's grandfather can't understand the need to see images of something that just happened. "Nail" is a fresh exploration of photography's power to show us how things were.

a local Forestry Board and the local department of natural resources
forestry service. This service learning activity will consist of
three parts. Cooperating students will:
a Time Capsule
2. Plant a Tree
3. Take the Tree Pledge
Trees help refresh our air, shade our homes, and reduce crime in
our neighborhoods. Many of Baltimore's street and communities need
trees, especially where sidewalk tree wells are empty. Harbor City
students recognize this need by planting a tree(s) on school campuses
and neighborhood streets. Our urban community needs volunteers to
help reforest this environment by identify sites, planting trees,
and maintaining their well-being.
Outcomes: Students will
- Gain an understanding of how the urban environment needs
trees for its citizen's health and safety.
- Demonstrate how to plant trees.
- Learn that their efforts will improve the community as a
whole, including real estate prices.
- (Baltimore) demonstrate the concepts of civic virtue and
common welfare as outlined the Baltimore City Social Studies
- (Maryland) meet the 1997 Maryland graduation requirement
regarding service learning.
Lessons could include video, readings, guest speaker, and discussion.
Handouts will include a description of the service learning activity
as well as a permission form for the students to have signed by
their parents. Information will be dispersed for their time capsule
that will be interred with the tree planting as part of the dedication.
Activities for the Action and Reflection portions of the service
learning activity will be discussed.
Students will travel to a predetermine location and plant a tree.
Students will be instructed as to the proper method of planting
a tree. It has been prearranged that the tree for planting will
have been delivered at the predetermined site.
Part I - Using the materials selected by the students, a
time capsule will be sealed. This time capsule will then be interred
with the tree as a record for future generations as to why, when,
and who planted this tree.
Part II - (Baltimore) Students will be informed of other
famous Baltimore City trees, e.g. the Al Capone, Pope John Paul
II and Frederick Douglass trees that were planted earlier in our
Part III - Students will all recite the Baltimore City
Forestry Board's Tree Pledge that will encourage students to be
responsible for the care and upkeep of their tree.
Certificates of service learning hours will be presented to student
participants and photos and film will be shown for the enjoyment
and evaluation of the students.

Researchers from the University of the Philippines – Los Banos (UPLB) found that sweet sorghum, a grain commonly used in the production of molasses, can be a healthier substitute to regular coffee beans.
In the study titled the "Acceptability, nutritional, and potential health values of sweet sorghum coffee substitute," the researchers ran sampling tests by roasting the grain and brewing it at different temperatures.
They found that roasting the grains for 50 to 70 minutes at approximately 226 degrees Celsius and brewing them for three minutes produced the most acceptable sample, comparing the coffee's taste and aroma to that of rice coffee.
Other coffee substitutes used in the Philippines are corn, ampalaya, and soy.
The stem of the sweet sorghum is usually used to produce molasses, and its leaves are used as food for animals.
The United States is the world's leading exporter of the grain, accounting for almost 75 percent of the global trade.
In the Philippines, sweet sorghum has been utilized as a source of bio-fuel.
Although not popularly cultivated in the country, the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), an India-based agricultural research organization, identified the North Luzon Super Region (Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Ilocos, Cagayan Valley, and Central Luzon) as a suitable location for sorghum cultivation.
The researchers also said that drinking sweet sorghum coffee may help in preventing neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and serious diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
"SSCS [Sweet Sorghum Coffee Substitute] could be a potential health and nutritious beverage as its powder contains carbohydrates, protein, essential fatty acids, dietary fiber, and is low in fat, particularly saturated fat. Moreover, the SSCS powder contains phytochemicals contributing to its high antioxidant activity. These findings suggest that consumption SSCS may help in preventing diseases in which free radical production plays a key role," they said.

Do Chia Seeds Increase Estrogen in Males
Published
on
You might be wondering, 'Can chia seeds really boost estrogen levels in men? That seems unlikely!' Yet, bear with us as we aim to offer information grounded in evidence.
In this article, we'll debunk the myth surrounding chia seeds and estrogen levels in men. We'll explore the science behind hormone regulation and the impact chia seeds have on testosterone levels.
So, if you're looking to incorporate chia seeds into your diet but have concerns about estrogen, keep reading. We've got you covered.
Key Takeaways
 - Estrogen is produced in small amounts by the testes and adrenal glands in males.
 - Chia seeds do not increase estrogen in males.
 - Chia seeds contain phytoestrogens that can mimic or block the effects of estrogen.
 - Limited scientific evidence specifically studies the effect of chia seeds on testosterone levels.
Estrogen in Males: Understanding the Basics
In our exploration of the effects of chia seeds on estrogen levels in males, it's important to understand the basics of estrogen in males.
chia seeds morrisons
Estrogen is a hormone typically associated with females, but it also plays a crucial role in male health. In males, estrogen is produced in small amounts by the testes and adrenal glands. An imbalance in estrogen levels can have various symptoms, including mood swings, decreased libido, and fatigue.
Advertisement
Additionally, high estrogen levels have been linked to a decrease in male fertility. Estrogen can interfere with the production of testosterone, which is essential for sperm production.
Understanding the effects of estrogen on male fertility and recognizing estrogen imbalance symptoms are important steps in maintaining overall male health and well-being.
Debunking the Myth: Chia Seeds and Estrogen
Contrary to popular belief, chia seeds don't increase estrogen in males. This misconception stems from a misunderstanding of the phytoestrogens found in chia seeds. Phytoestrogens are plant compounds that can mimic estrogen in the body, but their effects are much weaker than the estrogen produced by the human body.
chia seeds for weight loss
While some studies have suggested that phytoestrogens may have a slight impact on hormone levels, the evidence is inconclusive and doesn't specifically link chia seeds to increased estrogen in males.
In fact, the overall nutritional profile of chia seeds, including their high fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acid content, makes them a valuable addition to a balanced diet.

The Science Behind Chia Seeds and Hormone Regulation
Our understanding of the relationship between chia seeds and hormone regulation is supported by scientific research and provides valuable insights into their potential effects on the human body.
Chia seeds are often touted for their numerous health benefits, including their potential to regulate hormone balance. While chia seeds do contain phytoestrogens, compounds that mimic the effects of estrogen in the body, research suggests that they may actually help balance hormones rather than disrupt them.
what is chia seeds in telugu
Phytoestrogens can bind to estrogen receptors in the body and either mimic or block the effects of estrogen, depending on the individual's hormonal needs. This means that chia seeds could potentially help regulate hormone imbalance in both males and females.
However, further research is needed to fully understand the extent of chia seed benefits on hormone regulation and their effects on specific conditions.
Chia Seeds and Testosterone Levels in Males
From our research on the relationship between chia seeds and hormone regulation, we can now delve into the impact of chia seeds on testosterone levels in males.

Testosterone is a crucial hormone that plays a key role in male fertility and overall well-being.
tukma benefits
While there's limited scientific evidence specifically studying the effect of chia seeds on testosterone levels, some studies have explored the potential benefits of chia seeds on fertility in men.
Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been associated with improved sperm quality. Additionally, chia seeds are a good source of zinc, a mineral that's essential for testosterone production.
While more research is needed to fully understand the effect of chia seeds on testosterone levels in males, incorporating them into a balanced diet may potentially have positive effects on fertility and overall reproductive health.
Incorporating Chia Seeds Into a Balanced Diet for Men
To incorporate chia seeds into our balanced diet, we can start by including them in our daily meals and snacks. Chia seeds offer several benefits for male fertility. They're rich in essential nutrients like zinc, which plays a crucial role in sperm production and overall reproductive health.

Additionally, chia seeds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for men's health. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation, support heart health, and may even improve sperm quality.
Adding chia seeds to our diet can be as simple as sprinkling them on top of yogurt or oatmeal, blending them into smoothies, or using them as a topping for salads.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Chia Seeds Increase Estrogen Levels in Males?
Chia seeds have been studied for their effects on testosterone levels in males. While there is limited evidence, some studies suggest that chia seeds may have potential benefits for male fertility. However, more research is needed to fully understand their impact on estrogen levels.
Is It True That Chia Seeds Have Hormonal Effects on Men?
Absolutely! Chia seeds have numerous potential health benefits, including hormonal effects on women. While research on males is limited, chia seeds are unlikely to significantly increase estrogen levels in men.

Yancy Fry Jr. (born c. 1971) is the elder son of Yancy Fry Sr. and Mrs. Fry, and brother to Philip J. Fry.
Early years
Yancy frequently belittled his three years younger brother Philip from birth, partly because of the attention their parents spent on their new baby instead of him, and partly because he wanted his brother's name instead of his own.
In their teens, Philip was talented at both basketball and break dancing, while Yancy was always mediocre. Due to jealousy, Yancy would steal Philip's original moves and claim them as his own. After his brother found a seven-leaf clover and succeeded in pulling off an impossible move, Yancy tried to steal the clover, forcing Philip to hide it in his Ronco Record Vault.
Adult life
On 1 January, 2000, Yancy's brother goes missing. Unbeknown to the family, he has accidentally been frozen. While his parents seem neutral to the disappearance, Yancy was surprisingly more concerned. After finally giving up the search, he continued his life.
Before Yancy's wedding several years later, while looking for records in Philip's old Ronco Vault, he found the seven-leaf clover, but decided not to use it, but keep it as a reminder of his brother.
When his wife gave birth to a child, they agreed to name him Philip J. Fry after his brother, and Yancy gave him Philip's old seven leaf clover, thus ensuring his future success.
Yancy's son did grow up with great luck, and, among other accomplishments, had a series of hit songs with his band Leaf Seven, and was the first man to walk on Mars.
Yancy's brother woke up from the accidental freezing a thousand years later, long after Yancy had passed on. After finding a statue in the ruins of Old New York with his (and his nephew's) name on it three years after the freezing, he believed that Yancy had stolen his clover and his life, and he planned to rob his brother's grave of the clover, which he had been buried with. Reaching the grave, however, he realized that it was of his nephew and not his brother, and he left the clover there.
Time paradox duplicate
These events were slightly altered when time paradox created a duplicate of Philip J. Fry I which lived for another twelve years in the 21st century after the original Philip was frozen before going missing again. However, despite his brother technically not being frozen, Yancy still named his son after him.

things that change its behavior in a peculiar way.
You may have heard many people express their dislike for Turbolinks and/or Spring. I happen to like both of these technologies, but if you don't know what they do for you, they may lead even the most experienced JavaScript developers scratching their heads.
Let's have a brief description of these two libraries.
Turbolinks is a tool that loads pages more quickly and provides a few quick-load UJS features for forms and some CRUD actions. The introduction of Turbolinks does change the JavaScript page ready hook you would normally use to "turbolinks:load". Using the standard JavaScript page ready hook causes issues when Turbolinks is in use.
Spring is a preloader for code in your application. It will load both Ruby code and frontend assets in its own process and cache what's loaded to be available by the next request. If you don't know how JavaScript handles errors, this can lead you to try to track down a bug for many days, as Spring will have things work after the first navigation from the first page load. So when the site loads, some things may seem not to work, but then you click a link and it starts working.
Let's take a look first at how JavaScript handles bad code before delving in to Spring's role in it.
When JavaScript comes across some bad code, or anything that evaluates to something it shouldn't, JavaScript stops what it's doing and produces some output in your browser's console indicating that something is wrong. So when you introduce a new JavaScript library to your application and it has some bad code, then anything that follows it in your code, whether it's more libraries or your own code, won't run. This is the normal JavaScript behavior, to stop code execution at a point of bad code evaluation.
But when you add in Spring, which will load your assets in to a cache (with Turbolinks), Spring doesn't avoid JavaScript code after bad JavaScript code evaluation. So you load the first page and Spring/Turbolinks caches your assets and libraries for faster load.
By the time you navigate through the first link, you may not see that anything is wrong because Spring produces the good JavaScript code after the bad. If a JavaScript feature isn't needed on the first page load, then unless you're looking for a problem in the console, you may not know anything is wrong. And when you go to publish your work, all of a sudden the site is partially down and not behaving as you expected even though "it works on my machine."
This kind of thing has likely led many people to pull their hair out over not getting the same results on their machine as in production.
A good tip for JavaScript developers is that any time you add a new library or new JavaScript code to your application, put a simple console.log("Seems okay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"); right after it. Then in your browser console, make sure that the code gets that far. Once you see the console log the output, you know that your JavaScript code didn't come across any bad evaluation of code when loading.
I had tried a version of the Bootstrap 4 library, which has some bad JavaScript code evaluation in it, and I had placed it before the other JavaScript libraries were required in one of my applications. This caused all of the JavaScript related code not to work on the first page load but then appear to work on refresh and after the first link navigation. Because I had put it before Turbolinks that code was also behaving in this manner. To get it to work with Spring on the first page load, I put together this little hack in CoffeeScript:
if !Turbolinks?
 location.reload
Turbolinks.dispatch("turbolinks:load")
This of course makes it work on my machine but won't work in production. Developers in Rails often run into situations where the "turbolinks:load" trigger isn't called the first time the website's first page loads.
The Turbolinks.dispatch("turbolinks:load") is the way to instantly trigger that web hook as soon as that line of JavaScript is evaluated. This will come in handy for anyone who needs to get this to occur on first page load of their JavaScript/CoffeeScript scripts.
Triggering CoffeeScript on page load normally requires a little extra work since all CoffeeScript code is wrapped in a function and its scope is protected. Using the Turbolinks.dispatch("turoblinks:load") method makes this not so complicated.
if !Turbolinks?; location.reload is only a useful hack for when Spring is in use. It's only needed to load JavaScript code in your development environment despite some bad JavaScript code evaluation occurring. Instead of using it, just use the console.log technique to see how far your JavaScript code has successfully executed. Then remedy the bad code evaluation situation.
Summary
Capybara is a nice library for simple-to-write tests that work with your full frontend experience. Rails generates most of the proper Capybara tests for you so you can read the tests that are there and continue writing similar tests with what you learned from there. Rails does the heavy lifting of configuration and defaults so it's very easy to get started with frontend testing.
Another additional nicety in Rails 5 is that whenever there is an exception raised in a system test, it captures a screenshot of the browser window's contents and saves it to tmp/screenshots/. Now you can see what's on the screen and compare it to your test to better determine what's wrong with it.
With an understanding of how JavaScript behaves with Rails' libraries, we can prevent lots of debugging time we would otherwise get stuck with. This further increases our ability to use these powerful tools that have jaded others. Turbolinks and Spring make for a wonderful experience once you understand their effects and how to take advantage of them.
It feels good to be a Rails developer these days. Enjoy frontend testing!

Reading Time: 5 minutes
For an app to function at its best, every part of the application stack needs to be optimized and modernized. Technologies like containers and container orchestration tools have brought this kind of modernization to the infrastructure layer of the stack. The way code is deployed is changing as applications are built and deployed in a more distributed manner. Microservices architecture has ushered in this type of decentralized approach to software delivery.
However, between the infrastructure and the code, the layer that needs to function seamlessly is the networking layer. In modern containerized applications, a lot of focus is on the infrastructure and packaging and deployment of code, but traditionally not as much on networking.
This has been changing recently with the advent of the service mesh.
"Containerized app development focuses on infrastructure and code but not as much on networking."

What Is a Service Mesh?
Network communication was pretty simple back in the day. The network relayed messages from client to server and back. You could easily trace the route messages take, the few touch points across the network, and easily debug latency issues and errors. It took just a single monitoring tool like Nagios.
In a containerized app, each application is made up of loosely coupled microservices. Each microservice is made up of multiple containers, or pods in the case of Kubernetes. Every request now touches multiple services, and to make things worse, each of these services are dynamic. Containers are created and destroyed automatically as the system changes and as deployments are made.
Still, communication between these services needs to be happen seamlessly, and this is the job of the service mesh.
A service mesh is a communication layer between services that handles east-west traffic between microservices. The reason the service mesh is important in microservices is that communication between distributed apps is more complex than with monoliths.
Despite its complexity, microservices architecture brings advantages in performance, control over each service, capability of the system to adapt to changes, and visibility across the network. These advantages make it worthwhile to endure the management overhead of a more complex system.
A service mesh makes it easier to manage networking for microservices.
The Role of a Service Mesh
The most basic responsibility of a service mesh is to handle core networking tasks like load balancing and service discovery. Apart from this, a service mesh introduces advanced tactics like circuit breaking and failure-inducing, which help provide network performance that a cloud native application needs.
In a complex microservices system, failures

What are the regulated professions?Print
Regulated professions are professions which require possession of specific professional qualifications. In other words, to work in a regulated profession one must meet the conditions set out in the legislation of a given country. In practice this means that to perform work in regulated professions one requires certificates, licenses and other certification types, without which a person cannot effectively seek employment in a specific position.
At present the number of regulated professions inPoland is large – there is 380 of them. Such professions inPoland include, among others: attorney, solicitor, architect, estate agent, tour guide, tourist guide, doctor, nurse, midwife, dentist, dental assistant, psychologist, physical therapist, paramedic, a masseur, pharmacist, librarian, employment agent (broker), crane operator, scaffolding fitter, welder, taxi driver, and many others.


[edit]
There are a few challenges to implementing MoB in Icon/Unicon.
 - There are no nested procedures and non-local variables that go with them
 - There is no selectable call by value .vs. call by name/reference. Knowledge of the implicit mutable/immutable types is needed.
 - Procedure calls can't be deferred transparently but can be deferred through co-expressions
 - Co-expressions aren't enough as they trap local copies of variables which follow Icon rules for mutability/immutability
The initial solution below involved the use of co-expressions which seemed a natural tool to solve MoB. It turns out that co-expressions aren't necessary to solve this task. Co-expressions are very powerful and MoB really doesn't exercise their full capability. There is a lighter weight solution and also a cheat solution which is a further simplification. The light weight version exploits that procedures are a data type and can be passed around and assigned. This allows us to defer calling 'B' which is just what is required. The change introduces a new record definition 'defercall' and changes only two lines of the original solution in 'eval' and 'B'. The cheat would be to have 'eval' know that it always called 'B'.
MoB is intense and can be pushed to challenge any machine. If you run this and the program hangs up or fails with an inadequate space for static allocation error, you may need to tweak the way Icon/Unicon allocates memory. This is controlled through the environment variables COEXPSIZE, MSTKSIZE, BLKSIZE (see Icon and Unicon Environment Variables).
Notes:
 - The co-expression version will require adjustment to COEXPRSIZE, and possibly BLKSIZE and MSTKSIZE.
 - Mob 13 ran on a machine with 4GB RAM running Unicon Win32 using COEXPSIZE=71000; BLKSIZE=_PHONE_; and MSTKSIZE=_PHONE_.
 - Mob 15 ran on on a 64-bit linux box with 16GB RAM with COEXPSIZE to 200000 (and everything else defaulting).
 - The non-co-expression version required adjustment to BLKSIZE and MSTKSIZE.
 - Mob 21 ran on the same 4GB machine with BLKSIZE=_PHONE_; and MSTKSIZE=70000000
 - Mob 23 ran on the same 4GB machine with BLKSIZE=20000000; and MSTKSIZE=300000000
The co-expression version.
record mutable(value) # we need mutable integers
# ... be obvious when we break normal scope rules
procedure main(arglist) # supply the initial k value
k := integer(arglist[1])|10 # .. or default to 10=default
write("Man or Boy = ", A( k, 1, -1, -1, 1, 0 ) )
end

procedure eval(ref) # evaluator to distinguish between a simple value and a code reference
return if type(ref) == "co-expression" then @ref else ref
end

procedure A(k,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5) # Knuth's A
k := mutable(k) # make k mutable for B
return if k.value <= 0 then # -> boy compilers may recurse and die here
eval(x4) + eval(x5) # the crux of separating man .v. boy compilers
else # -> boy compilers can run into trouble at k=5+
B(k,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5)
end

procedure B(k,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5) # Knuth's B
k.value -:= 1 # diddle A's copy of k
return A(k.value, create |B(k,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5),x1,x2,x3,x4) # call A with a new k and 5 x's
end
Below are the code changes for the non-co-expression version. A new record type is introduced and the two return expressions are changed slightly.
record defercall(proc,arglist) # light weight alternative to co-expr for MoB

procedure eval(ref) # evaluator to distinguish between a simple value and a code reference
return if type(ref) == "defercall" then ref.proc!ref.arglist else ref
end

procedure B(k,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5) # Knuth's B
k.value -:= 1 # diddle A's copy of k
return A(k.value, defercall(B,[k,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5]),x1,x2,x3,x4)# call A with a new k and 5 x's

In a time when the majority of young children know more about a computer than agriculture, this project brings agriculture to them in a unique way. This presentation introduces a program that aims to connect elementary students with the vast agriculture industry in the digital age using appropriate technology. The project consists of teaching children in Eastern Kentucky and beyond about agriculture and land use through the virtual dissemination of relevant stories, facts, and activities. In this way children can learn how agriculture is vital to their everyday life. Featured topics include horticulture crops, agronomic crops, livestock, and the history of agriculture practices in Appalachia. The information is being shared through the Facebook social media platform using a page entitled, "Little Aggies. The project's goal is to foster learning about agriculture in an intriguing way, while encouraging reading and greater appreciation for plants, animals, and all living things.

100mm Dia Driven Cased Piles 50 – 60KN
100mm diameter driven cased piles are the smallest piles that we install. There load capability is 60KN. We use this size of pile for conservatories, garage bases and other lightly loaded structures where access is restricted. The pile casings range from 1.0m to 2.0m sections. This enables the casings to be manually handled through doorways and into even into cellars.
The piles are driven internally with a grundomat (shown below). The grundomat is powered by compressed air. Our compressors can be located outside and air line run inside thus preventing any build up of fumes and minimising distruption.
The following is how each steel cased concrete filled pile is driven:
 1. 100mm nominal diameter "starter" casing is placed at pile the position complete with 500mm concrete / stone bung in toe.
 2. The grundomat 95 piling hammer, air driven is placed inside the starter.
 3. The grundomat and tube is raised into position of the pile and held virtically.
 4. the compressor is started up and the air tap gradually opened allowing hammer action of the grundomat to drive the casing.
 5. Once the casing if firm and aligned, open tap for maximum drive, and drive the starter to approx 300mm from ground level.
 6. The next length of casing "follower" is fillet welded to the starter via a spigot and socket joint.
 7. Driving contiues addeing more "followers" if required until the required resistance is reached.

J. H. L. Johnstone
John Hamilton Lane Johnstone was educated at Pictou Academy before before earning a B.Sc. (1912) and M.Sc. (1914) at Dalhousie University. He became a student instructor of mathematics in 1911 and received the University Medal in mathematics and physics in 1912. Johnstone went on to complete a Ph.D. at Yale in 1916, after which he joined the army and became captain of the Royal Canadian Engineers in France. He also fought with British forces in Salonika and was made a member of the Order of the British Empire. In 1919, Johnstone returned to Dalhousie to teach and was made a full professor in 1926. In 1925, he was sent by Dalhousie to Newfoundland to advise in the creation of Memorial College. During the Second World War, Johnstone was seconded to the National Research Council for naval research, along with fellow Dalhousie professor G. H. Henderson. The two professors researched magnetic mines that were used by the Germans and built an instrument to detect them. After the war, Johnstone returned to Dalhousie and became the head of the Physics Department. In 1949, he was appointed as the first Dean of Graduate Studies. Johnstone was involved in the construction of the Sir James Dunn Science Building and the Nova Scotia Research Foundation building. He passed away in the winter of 1972-73 at the age of 83 during a holiday in Mexico.


3e SRD:Disable Device Skill
From D&D Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
This material is published under the OGL
Disable Device (Int; Trained Only)
The effort requires at least a simple tool of the appropriate sort (a pick, pry bar, saw, file, etc.). Attempting a Disable Device check without a set of thieves' tools carries a –2 circumstance penalty, even if a simple tool is employed. The use of masterwork thieves' tools enables the character to make the check with a +2 circumstance bonus.
The DM makes the Disable Device check so that the character doesn't necessarily know whether the character has succeeded. The amount of time needed to make a check and the DC for the check depend on how tricky the device is. Disabling a simple device takes 1 round (and is at least a full-round action). Intricate or complex devices require 2d4 rounds. The character also can rig simple devices such as saddles or wagon wheels to work normally for a while and then fail or fall off some time later (usually after 1d4 rounds or minutes of use).
Disabling (or rigging or jamming) a fairly simple device has a DC of 10. More intricate and complex devices have a higher DC. The DM rolls the check. If the check succeeds, the character disables the device. If the check fails by up to 4, the character has failed but can try again. If the character fails by 5 or more, something goes wrong. If it's a trap, the character springs it. If it's some sort of sabotage, the character thinks the device is disabled, but it still works normally.
Device Time DC* Example
Simple 1 round 10 Jam a lock
Tricky 1d4 rounds 15 Sabotage a wagon wheel
Difficult 2d4 rounds 20 Disarm a trap, reset a trap
*If the character attempts to leave behind no trace of the tampering, add 5 to the DC.
Yes, though the character must be aware that the character has failed in order to try again.
A rogue who beats a trap's DC by 10 or more can generally study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it (along with his companions) without disarming it.
Rogues (and only rogues) can disarm magic traps. A magic trap generally has a DC of 25 + the level of the magic used to create it.

text: Climate change is believed to affect the hydrological cycle and thus it would have significant implications on the regional scale agricultural water availability. In this study an Agricultural Water Availability Index was developed for Rechna doab, Pakistan. This index was used to evaluate the present and future agricultural water availability. Moreover this study also demonstrates the use of remote sensing to determine the soil moisture content on a regional or basin scale. Water availability for the future scenarios was assessed by statistical downscaling technique to downscale Tmax, Tmin and precipitation using the HadCM3 GCM outputs for the study area. The study results demonstrate that the variation in water availability will increase both spatially and temporally and there will be critical water shortage during the wheat sowing period. Therefore suitable climate change adaptation options were forwarded to cope with the shortages. This study can be used for making better surface water allocation in the future on the basis of knowing water availability on a spatial scale.

Tenants (both prospective and current) are legally protected from various forms of discrimination under the federal Fair Housing Act. Alabama does not have a state Fair Housing Act, so tenants in the Yellowhammer State must look to the federal Act for protection. Although tenants have protection from certain types of discrimination, there are some legal reasons why a landlord can reject them.
What Types of Discrimination are Prohibited Under the Fair Housing Act?
The federal Fair Housing Act includes prohibitions against housing discrimination on the basis of:
- Skin Color
- National Origin
- Familial Status
- Disability (physical or mental)
These groups are known as "protected classes", and it is illegal for landlords to reject a potential tenant because they are a member of any of these groups. Some examples of illegal practices landlords may engage in include:
- Targeted advertising that is designed to shut out various groups (e.g., targeting a certain age group, gender, and other demographic information with Facebook ads);
- Lying about the availability of a rental unit after learning that a potential tenant falls into one of the protected classes;
- Stating in a rental ad that families with children are not allowed (unless the unit is part of an approved senior living facility);
- Refusing to make a reasonable accommodation for a tenant that is disabled;
- Unreasonably raising rent and other fees in order to force a tenant out (based on a protected class);
- Refusing to make the repairs necessary to provide livable conditions to a member of a protected group.
Tenants have the right to have fair access to housing, and if a landlord engages in any of these or other illegal practices, there are various legal remedies available, depending on the circumstances. The best place to start is to speak with our experienced Alabama discrimination attorney to discuss your legal rights and options.
What are Some Legal Reasons a Landlord Can Reject a Potential Tenant in Alabama?
There are several reasons that a landlord is legally allowed to turn down someone who is applying for housing in Alabama. Here are some of the most common:
- Inadequate Income: One of the most basic reasons a landlord could legally reject a potential tenant is for inadequate income. Clearly, landlords have the right to expect that their tenants will be able to pay the rent and cover the rest of their bills each month. Generally, a tenant may be expected to earn at least three times the amount of monthly rent to have their application approved.
- Unverified Income: Closely related to the first reason is the inability of the landlord to verify how much income the applicant earns. Income is usually verified with pay stubs and W2s, and for self-employed individuals, tax returns. A landlord may also ask for employer references if some of this other information is missing.
- Falsified Housing Application: Maybe your application shows that you have adequate income and you have that documentation to verify this, but your documents are not real – they have been falsified. If the landlord finds this out, he/she has the right to turn down your application.
- Pet Prohibitions: It is not uncommon for landlords to have rules regarding pets. Some do not allow pets at all, others allow only certain sizes and breeds, and still others may only allow cats and not dogs. Prohibiting pets is allowed in Alabama except in the case of certain service animals. Landlords must allow guide dogs that assist tenants who are partially or totally blind.
- Criminal History: Although it may be very unfair, especially if you have a very old criminal conviction, there is no law that prohibits the landlord from denying a tenant because of a criminal history. The one possible exception to this may be a felony conviction for the use of drugs that may fall under the classification of a "mental disability". In such cases, the discrimination would occur because the applicant is part of a federally protected class.
- Credit Problems: A landlord is allowed to consider an applicant's credit history in deciding whether or not to rent to them. Generally, a bankruptcy and/or a credit score of 620 or lower could create problems with your application. You may also have trouble obtaining housing if you have a history of not paying your rent, prior evictions, and doing damage to other units you have rented.
The above are all legal reasons a landlord can reject a potential tenant, but landlords have to be careful that they apply these (and other reasons) equally to everyone. Otherwise, they may find themselves in violation of the Fair Housing Act for once again discriminating against one of the federally protected groups.

plot a chart of enrolment base on ownership
It looks like the data we need is all contained within Sheet1 of the Excel file, and the other sheets are empty. The data includes enrolment numbers by discipline, level (PGD, Masters, Ph.D.), and ownership (Federal, State, Private).
Next, we'll clean up the data in Sheet1 to focus on the ownership columns and then plot the enrolment numbers based on ownership.
Show enrollment by ownership in a bar chart
We've already created a bar chart showing postgraduate enrollment by ownership. It displays the number of enrollments for Federal, State, and Private ownership categories.
test the hypothesis that there is no significant differences in enrolment with programmes
To test the hypothesis that there is no significant difference in enrollment among different programs, we can perform an ANOVA test (Analysis of Variance). This test is suitable if we have three or more independent groups and want to compare their means to see if at least one of them is significantly different from the others.
First, we need to prepare our data for the ANOVA test. We'll extract enrollment numbers for each program type (PGD, Masters, Ph.D.) across all ownership types (Federal, State, Private). Then, we'll conduct the ANOVA test.
Hypothesis Test Summary
 - Test Used: ANOVA (Analysis of Variance)
 - Purpose: To test if there's a significant difference in enrollment among PGD, Masters, and Ph.D. programs.
 - Result: The ANOVA test resulted in a p-value of 0.185, which is greater than the common alpha level of 0.05.
 - Conclusion: With a p-value greater than 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. This suggests that there are no significant differences in enrollment among the PGD, Masters, and Ph.D. programs.

Basset history
So, is it true? Did Lafayette really give 2 basset hounds to George Washington?
The very famous British Basset - FRED
William Shakespeare
(THÉSÉE: Scene V)
A Midsummer Night's Dream
French star - Télé Z
The encyclopedia description of the Basset Hound is:
"The Basset Hound is a short-legged breed of dog of the hound family. They are scent hounds, bred to hunt by scent. Their sense of smell for tracking is second only to that of the Bloodhound. The name Basset derives from the French word "bas" meaning "low".
I will not go into all the technical details about bassets - there are more than plenty of excellent books covering the subject. Just a few facts that I found interesting.
Firstly, everyone seems agreed on the fact that Bassets are French, even though they travelled to the UK and the US where they became very popular at different times. Their first use was in hunting rabbits and hare. Being scent hounds they just trail their victims and don't actually kill them.
Once, in a field meeting in France, they were described as "paramedics"! They smell the blood of the injured animal and follow that trail till they find them. The reason their ears are so long is that they drag along the ground and this helps bring up the scents to their noses.
In France there are two distinct breeds: the Basset Hound and the Basset Artésien Normand; in other countries they do not distinguish between the two breeds.
The origins of the Basset Hound go back to the middle ages but they probably did not have exactly the same appearance as today. They started becoming popular in the latter part of the 19th century.
William Shakespeare himself even described what sounds very much like a basset hound in A Midsummer Night's Dream, in the words of Theseus :
My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind,
So flew'd, so sanded, and their heads are hung
With ears that sweep away the morning dew;
Crook-knee'd, and dew-lapp'd like Thessalian bulls;
Slow in pursuit, but match'd in mouth like bells,
Each under each. A cry more tuneable
Was never holla'd to, nor cheer'd with horn,
In Crete, in Sparta, nor in Thessaly:
Judge when you hear.
Time magazine featured the Basset Hound in 1928 and some people think that this is what made the Basset Hound popular in the United States. I think that Fred Basset did a lot for making the breed popular in the UK, back in 1963 when Graham "gave birth" to Fred his world famous comic strip in a national newspaper.
I have often heard said that it was the Marquis de Lafayette who introduced Basset Hounds to America, offering them as a gift to George Washington. I have just read a very detailed biography on the life of Lafayette and did not see any mention of this. Ah well, I learnt plenty of other interesting things whilst reading the book, anyway.
There have been several famous Basset Hounds around the world and some connections with famous people, too. Here are just a few of them that I know about :
Droopy Dog, originally created in 1943 by Tex Avery; US
Fred Basset, comic strip created in 1963 by Graham; UK
Rosebud the Basselope, from Berke Breathed's comic strip "Bloom County"; US
Bassets in films :
Lafayette, in the 1970 Disney Film "The Aristocats"; US
Fred, in the 1977 film "Smokey and the Bandit"; US
Gabriel, in Ghost in the Shell 2 : Innocence (directed by Mamoru Oshii. Gabriel is his own dog and features in many of his films) ; US/Japan
TV Bassets :
Sherlock, on The Steve Allen Show (sung to by Elvis P in person!) on July 1st 1956; US
Flash, in the Dukes of Hazzard, 1980's; US
Cleo, The People's Choice; US
Dog, in the Columbo series; US
Quincy, from Coach; US
Sammy, from That's so Raven; US
Socrates, in Judging Amy; US
Ari, from Karen et Ari; France
Heinrich, (a German series) ; Germany
Some famous Basset Hound owners (past and present):
Queen Alexandra (wife of Edward VII) - Bijou UK; Harry Anderson - Floyd; Bob Hope - Recession; Clint Eastwood - Sidney; Candice Bergen - Dickles; Marilyn Monroe & Arthur Miller - Hugo; Rex Harrison - Homer; Anson Williams - Beau; Sara Cox - Snoop;
and not forgetting those whose bassets' names I do not know : Jean-Pierre Coff (French TV cuisine); Richard Dean Anderson (McGyver); Jake Plummer (Denver Broncos); James Earl Jones; Alton Brown; Truman Capote. Xaviera Hollander (The Happy Hooker!).
I'm sure there are plenty more.....

thicknesses along the rod's shaft. The underlying notion is to use something narrow enough to go inside the groove but big enough to sharpen the whole curve.
This geometry is effective, as the serrations on the edge are of various widths. And that you will apply that part of the rod, which fits the serrations. In simple words, you can find the exact size that goes with the form of each serration for sharpening it precisely. Before selecting a rod, ensure that the rod's diameter is of the same size or smaller than the size of the grooves.
Sharpening rods are made using diamond, steel, and ceramic. Although the rod's body is usually of stainless steel, the other two are used for layering to facilitate different levels of sharpening.
The rods made fully of steel do not actually sharpen the serrated blade but hone it. This is because the steel rod is identical to the steel knife in terms of hardness. On the other hand, diamond rods come with a diamond-layered exterior that proves to be too hard to sharpen with.
While a diamond rod can sharpen a serrated knife, it can end up sharpening some teeth well while leaving some dull. Further, it is tough to achieve an even outcome with a diamond surface, as it is highly abrasive. After all, sharpening a serrated knife is a bit more delicate task than sharpening a straight-edged knife. However, a medium-abrasive diamond rod can help you achieve the goal safely.
Thus, of all, the ceramic rod is recognized as the best type of serrated knife sharpener that is not that expensive and is versatile enough to sharpen almost any knife.
At times, a ceramic sharpening rod is also confusingly termed as ceramic sharpening steel. However, the build material should be ceramic. A ceramic rod is harder than other sharpening rods. Designed to fit into the indentations, the rod sharpens individual serrations while focusing on a single tooth at a time.
It works by discarding the unwanted blade particles. You are really discarding a thin coat of the blade's material to reveal a new sharp edge. This is just like sharpening a pencil, during which you remove the core and wood to get a fresh lead point.
This is important to know, as it informs that you need something harder than the blade to sharpen. Ceramic is harder than steel. A high-polished ceramic rod is required for sharpening or honing a serrated edge. For harder materials, it should be made with at least 1500 to 1800 grit.
Following are the steps to use a ceramic rod against wide, narrow, and short grooves:
 1. Locate the blade's side that is beveled or serrated. This side inclines down a bit just before the notches, which is the bevel. You will be applying the rod only to the beveled edge.
 2. Position the rod in one of the gullets and select a suitable angle. The bevel's angle can be your guide here. The suitable angle between the blade and the rod is usually between 13 and 17 degrees.
 3. Move the sharpener to be compatible with the diameter of the gullet. In the case of a tapering rod, place it in the gullet such that its diameter is identical to or a bit smaller than that of the gullet's size.
 4. Sharpen the targeted gullet by passing the rod along it to make a few short strokes. Move-in a single direction with gentle pressure but away from the edge and toward the spine. Do spin the rod as you move it so that you get an even grind. Gently slide the rod away from you and stop when its diameter is identical to the gullet's width. Otherwise, you will end up expanding the gullet.
 5. Look for burrs, also known as metal shavings. For this, pass your fingers over the length of the groove's rear. If you feel them, it means that sharpening has occurred sufficiently after a few strokes.
 6. Repeat the steps for each indentation or gullet. For a groove of different size, change the tapered rod's position such that it fills the gullet.
 7. Remove the burrs. To do so, rub the rear of the knife using a fine-grit sandpaper sheet.
 8. Sharpen a straight-edged area, if any, using a whetstone.
A few rods, especially the ones used in a kitchen, are big. They are not useful for handling small serrations. In this case, a small rod is required to fit inside the serration. Most such rods are tapered.
Triangular Sharpeners
Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker with Safety Rods, Instructional DVD, Two Premium Alumina Ceramic Stone Sets for Blade Repair and Professional-Grade Finishing - 204MF
A triangular sharpener is a special sharpening tool featuring two triangular rods of ceramic, one designed for fine sharpening and the other for medium sharpening. There can be even other rods designed for honing or finer sharpening.
Such a sharpener is useful for sharpening a serrated edge, as the triangular rods work just like the normal ceramic rod. One such famous sharpener comes from Spyderco. Herein, the rods facilitate easy access to each groove while consistently retaining the desired edge angle.
They are positioned at an angle, forming a V shape at 40 degrees. Due to this position, the tapered rods are ideal for sharpening blades having V-shaped grooves. The sharpening process is almost like the ceramic rod one, except that you move the edge back and forth rather than spinning it. Just place the knife straight while moving it up and down the tool.
Thus, this procedure removes the tough job of selecting the right angle. On the flip side, these rods cannot precisely fit the groove's width. Thus, it is essential to find the size of the grooves before investing in a triangular sharpener.
Electric Sharpeners
Chef's Choice AngleSelect Hone Electric serrated Knife Sharpener
Another common type of sharpener used for serrated edges is an electric one. A couple of electric sharpeners can sharpen both serrated and straight edges. For buying a model that can handle a serrated edge, it is usually a matter of considering the sharpening slots or stages it has and the ability to accommodate a serrated edge.
Using this sharpener is all about ease of use and speed. For sharpening a serrated portion, all you have to do is just pass the blade through the dedicated stage; the rest is done by the device.
Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener Ken Onion Edition for serrated knives
In the case of an electric model with a belt, you sharpen by passing the blade's rear along the belt to polish the grooved edge for restoring it to the original grind. The best part of a belt sharpener is that even a naïve can get a razor-like sharp edge. As the belt turns, it grinds the edge incessantly to give an amazing sharpness in no time. A few of these belt models come with guides to set the right angles, keeping guesswork at bay.
Just keep in mind that not all electric sharpeners can sharpen a serrated edge. While serrated edge sharpening is easy once the right angle is known, selecting a reliable electric sharpener is a critical task.
If you choose an electric model that is not designed to sharpen serrations, you will end up damaging the edge as well as the sharpener, an awful outcome for anyone who invests in a costly device. Yes, electric sharpeners are costlier options than ceramic or triangular rods.
It is also not true that there are no reliable electric models that can sharpen serrated knives. What needs to be inferred is that one is required to remain careful while choosing and working with an electric sharpener.
The biggest benefit of electric sharpeners is that they consume less time to sharpen a serrated edge than any other traditional method. However, you cannot expect them to give you full control over its working. You cannot control the amount of material that is discarded from the edge.
If an electric sharpener removes much edge material, you will lose a gullet each time you sharpen the edge. Sharpening too often will simply convert the serrated edge into a plain one, which means you lose all grooves!
What About Using Stones for Sharpening Serrated Edges?
A traditional sharpening stone such as a whetstone or an oil stone is used to sharpen most knives. These stones usually come in a rectangle shape. While they are ideal for sharpening the smooth, even edges found on most kitchen knives, they end up making the serrations dull or remove them to give you a plain edge. Thus, stones are preferable for serrated knives. The only exception is a file or a round barreled oilstone that can reliably sharpen a serrated edge.
Just like any other knives, serrated knives become blunt over time. This can result in unlikable fraying at the cutting spot. It is possible to sharpen serrated knives, although it is different from sharpening straight edges. If done with normal sharpeners, it can result in misalignment of the gullet. Further, aggressive sharpeners can discard the metal fully.
Thus, there are serrated knife sharpeners for handling these edges safely. Although restoring serrated edges can be overwhelming, it can increase the lifespan of them even without maintenance. Only the right tool and proper care are required.

Can you Boil chicken in water?
It's as easy as bringing a pot of water to a boil and — when done correctly — boiling can provide a perfectly tender piece of chicken..
Is it good to boil chicken before cooking?
Whether you're tempted to boil it first to speed up the cooking process or because you believe it will make your chicken more tender, step away from the pot of water. It's simply not necessary to boil chicken before frying it. You may actually compromise the bird.
How can you tell when boiled chicken is done?
Check the juices run clear "Our recommendation at the council is always use a meat thermometer, but another easy way to confirm if it's cooked is, if you pierce the meat and the liquid comes out and it's clear, you've got a pretty good chance it's cooked," Williams said.
Does chicken float when it's done frying?
Use a thermometer to heat the oil to the correct temperature and to test for doneness. When frying dense things such as chicken breasts or thighs, pierce with a fork or skewer to allow the hot oil to penetrate the flesh. … Hint: Chicken floats when it's done.
How long do you boil chicken?
Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a gentle boil. For a whole chicken cook for about 90 minutes. For boneless chicken breasts, cook for 15 minutes or until no longer pink.
Why is boiling chicken bad?
Most people assume and think that because they're cooking proteins surrounded by liquid that they can't overcook or dry them out. … The same is true with chicken…if it is boiled or cooked too quickly and rapidly, or for simply too long, the proteins contract tightly and squeeze the moisture out.
Does boiling chicken kill bacteria?
The Tough Bacteria coli — and Salmonella are killed by heating or boiling it until the internal temperature reaches 165 F. … Clostridium bacteria can produce a heat-resistant spore that still leaves the chicken contaminated.
Is it better to boil or bake chicken?
Baking chicken produces drier meat but the flavor is more robust than boiled chicken. Boiled chicken is lower in phosphorus and other minerals but nearly the same in protein content as baked meat.
Is it good to drink boiled chicken water?
Originally Answered: Is it good to drink water which is left after boiling chicken ? Yes, you can. If you're thinking about all the bacteria and stuff, it dies out when you boil.
How long do you boil chicken quarters?
Place the chicken quarters in a large pot. Fill the pot with water 3/4 full. Season and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Why is my boiled chicken rubbery?
Overcooking. One of the leading causes of rubbery chicken is overcooking the meat. Chicken is to be cooked quickly with relatively high heat. Since most boneless skinless breasts aren't the same thickness, it makes it difficult to cook them evenly.
What is the white foam when you boil chicken?
"During cooking at high heat, some of that water comes back out of the meat and with the water is a small amount of sarcoplasmic protein. At high temperatures that protein denatures and assumes a foamy, frothy appearance," Sindelar explains.
Can you boil noodles in chicken broth?
Cooking noodles in broth is as simple as it sounds: Just bring salted chicken broth to a boil—enough to cover the pasta (it doesn't have to be a ton)—and toss in short, stout noodles. … When the pasta is nearly done, add cooked vegetables or those that cook quickly, such as peas or finely chopped kale.
Does chicken lose nutrients when boiled?
On the other hand, the lengthy cooking times for stewing and simmering can lead to a loss of B vitamins, nutrients that are typically high in meat and poultry. Up to 60% of thiamine, niacin and other B vitamins may be lost from the meat as its juices run off.
How long do you boil stock?
Add hot water as needed to keep bones and vegetables submerged. Simmer uncovered for 6 to 8 hours. Strain stock through a fine mesh strainer into another large stockpot or heatproof container discarding the solids.
Is it safe to boil raw chicken with vegetables?
Is it safe to cook raw meat and vegetables together in the same pan at the same time? Yes, this is a safe method of cooking, as long as everything in the pan is fully cooked before eating.
Is KFC chicken boiled first?
"There's a perception that, because it's fast food, it's going to arrive pre-cooked and then it gets thrown in a fryer and then served up," Lawson told the newspaper. …

For what it's worth, I read neuroscience literature occasionally and have taken a graduate class in it, and I can't recall ever seeing neurologic, though neurological is used often. I can't think of an instance where the meaning changes. – Rachel Aug 25 '12 at 5:52
Interesting. I work in Pharmacy & often see both. In newer materials, I feel as though I see neurologic much more frequently than neurological. – aelephant Aug 25 '12 at 5:54
After some more thought, I've probably seen neurologic disorder, though not as often as the other. Other places where neurological seems a bit wrong or clumsy, e.g., to modify pathways, neural or even neuronal come to mind as more apt and common (though the latter two have very slightly different meanings from each other). – Rachel Aug 25 '12 at 6:00
It might be a usage bias of mine (which is perhaps affecting my memory). I highly prefer to say neurological myself. I have also noticed that I habitually use morhpological instead of morphologic. But I don't say semantical or syntactical, so who knows. Maybe there's no method to my madness. – Rachel Aug 25 '12 at 6:05

In my experience with the medical community and scientific literature, neurological is a far more common adjective than neurologic. However, as far as I can tell, both words are equally correct when used to refer to the study of, or anything pertaining to, the nervous system. But a quick example might help to illustrate the relative prevalence of the two.
A pubmed.org search for scientific papers with titles containing neurological yields about 20,000 responses; an identical search for neurologic yields 10,000. By that token, neurological is twice as common as neurologic.
The bottom line is: you can't go wrong with either.

Thanks for the research, it didn't occur to me to search for prevalence on pubmed. I think I have a personal preference for "neurologic" just because it is shorter. If the 2 words mean the same thing & "neurologic" saves space & keystrokes, why not use it? – aelephant Aug 25 '12 at 6:45
_USER_: I'm not sure that "saving two keystrokes" is a good reason to choose one over the other. It might be best to do some additional research first – like this – and see if those in the field follow conventions. I believe you can go wrong – if, at a conference for neurologists, you pick one that's seldom used, or opt to save two keystrokes in the title of a paper, thereby taking a credibility hit. – J.R. Aug 25 '12 at 8:22
Searches on google (for lone words or phrases) return even wider disparities. If are curious about speakers' preferences, it occured to me that their prosodic patterns might play a role. This seems to hold true for my own case. It also could explain why you might find preferences varying depending on the surrounding words (when this isn't explained by something else like a phrase becoming fixed). – Rachel Aug 25 '12 at 8:23
Very cool J.R.! I didn't even know Google Ngram existed! I added "neurologic toxicity" & "neurological toxicity" to the search here & found that neurologic toxicity is more commonly used, so it appears to be context-specific. – aelephant Aug 25 '12 at 8:29
_USER_: A pubmed.org search for papers with neurological research in the abstract/title returned 142 papers, while those with neurologic research returned only 25. I won't argue that you're wrong, because I don't know enough about the subject, but I will point out that your bottom line seems like a hastily-drawn conclusion after so little research. – J.R. Aug 25 '12 at 8:41
As you point out, in the American Academy of Neurology Writing Styles And Standards Guide, available online at _URL_ there is the entry on page 11:
Neurologic vs. Neurological — The word neurologic is preferred to neurological when used as an adjective.
I don't think it gets any more authoritative in this field than that. It is a preference, a style decision.
For what it's worth, we use neurologic in our veterinary publications, too. We consider it a style decision. When we copyedit manuscripts, we change neurological to neurologic (unless the word is part of a cited reference title, of course.) Neither form is "wrong," it's just a preference, and we try to be consistent.
We also use, for example, endocrinologic instead of endocrinological and radiologic instead of radiological.
share|improve this answer
As I understand it, this is similar to the historic/historical situation.
Neurological is the adjective for the discipline of neurology - neurology-cal, and neurologic is the adjective for neural. The medical problems are neurologic diseases, possibly discovered by a neurological examination
Curiously, my unabridged Collins doesn't even list neurologic, but has neurological for both neural and neurology. Princeton Wordnet lists both, but with identical definitions.

I don't think you can make the distinction you make in your sentence with the links. You link to two different organizations' sites. They probably have chosen one over the other for their style. – JLG Aug 25 '12 at 14:19
That is true only if you assume that the distinction is purely one of style. You describe the style guide below as not getting 'any more authoritative in this field than that', but I see style guides as being inherently un-authoritative, partly because they are frequently contradicted by academic writing (which I see as more authoritative), and partly because they invariably contradict each other. As they can't all be right, what grounds do you have for saying any particular one is the ultimate authority? – Roaring Fish Aug 25 '12 at 14:29
I do think it is a matter of style. And I think if you want to be in line with the "big dog" in a field, then in the field of neurology, the AAN is it. Your use of links from two different sources doesn't prove your assertion that one term is for the discipline and one is for the disease (or whatever your distinction between the terms was meant to be). It just shows that two different organizations chose different styles. If you search the Boston Children's Hospital site (your link for neurological examination), you'll also find "neurological disease" used. – JLG Aug 25 '12 at 14:38
Interesting factoid: Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary, 30th Edition, doesn't list neurological at all. It just has neurologic: pertaining to neurology or to the nervous system. – JLG Aug 25 '12 at 14:44
As I said earlier, Collins Unabridged has it the other way - they can't both be right. I agree that if you want to submit material you follow the style guide. The point I was making is that a style guide is not an academic authority that can be used as 'proof' of anything. – Roaring Fish Aug 25 '12 at 15:05
