The Impact of the Chinese Exchange Policy on Foreign Trade
with the European Union
The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of the Chinese foreign exchange policy on foreign trade with the European Union. After describing the importance of the exchange rate in an open economy and some of the methodologies employed to calculate its equilibrium value, we examine whether the Chinese competitiveness is due to the existence of misalignment (undervaluation) of its exchange rate, or rather, to other sources of competitiveness. For this purpose, we use a Vector Error Correction (VEC) model to estimate a long-run exports equation. The empirical results indicate that over the past few years, Chinese exports have benefited from an 'unfair' competitive advantage resulting from the manipulation of its currency value.


Rules: Jail
Thieves land in jail when they are caught by one or more detectives at the castle. However, the previously stolen collection cards are not returned to the original owners.
The thief card is laid in cell number 1. When more than one thief is caught those with lower numbers are placed in jail first. Whenever a new thief arrives in jail, any other thieves already in jail are moved up one cell.
The thieves are released from jail when they move out of the last jail cell (the number of jail cells equals the number of players in the game). Released thief cards are returned to the thief's owner and can again be played.


Remove specified figure
close name
close all
close all hidden
close all force
status = close(...)
close deletes the current figure or the specified figure(s). It optionally returns the status of the close operation.
close deletes the current figure (equivalent to close(gcf)).
close(h) deletes the figure identified by h. If h is an array, close deletes all figures identified by h. h can also be the figure Number.
close name deletes the figure with the specified name.
close all deletes all figures whose handles are not hidden.
close all hidden deletes all figures including those with hidden handles.
close all force deletes all figures, including GUIs for which CloseRequestFcn has been altered to not close the window.
status = close(...) returns 1 if the specified windows have been deleted and 0 otherwise.
More About
expand all
The close function works by evaluating the specified figure's CloseRequestFcn property with the statement
The default CloseRequestFcn, closereq, deletes the current figure using delete(get(groot,'CurrentFigure')). If you specify an array of figure handles, close executes each figure's CloseRequestFcn in turn. If an error that terminates the execution of a CloseRequestFcn occurs, the figure is not deleted. Note that using your computer's window manager (i.e., the Close menu item) also calls the figure's CloseRequestFcn.
If a figure's handle is hidden (i.e., the figure's HandleVisibility property is set to callback or off and the root ShowHiddenHandles property is set to on), you must specify the hidden option when trying to access a figure using the all option.
To delete all figures unconditionally, use the statements
c = get(groot,'Children');
The figure CloseRequestFcn allows you to either delay or abort the closing of a figure once the close function has been issued. For example, you can display a dialog box to see if the user really wants to delete the figure or save and clean up before closing.
When coding a CloseRequestFcn callback, make sure that it does not call close, because this sets up a recursion that results in a MATLAB® warning. Instead, the callback should destroy the figure with delete. The delete function does not execute the figure's CloseRequestFcn; it deletes the specified figure.

OXFORD, Ohio (AP) -- New projections say Ohio will have 16 counties in 2050 where a third of the population will be at least age 60.
None of Ohio's 88 counties had such a high percentage of 60-or-older people in 2010, underscoring challenges ahead as the Baby Boomer generation becomes grayer and life spans increase. The forecasts based on data analysis and current trends are from Miami University's Scripps Gerontology Center.
Earlier projections showed six Ohio counties are expected to have a third of their 2020 populations as 60 or older.
Older populations are common in the economically struggling Appalachian region. One county, Noble, is projected to have half its population 60 or older by 2050.
Ohio officials say changes are needed to provide for senior needs and keep people in their homes longer.

Automatic orientation is a control process system that drones apply. The system allows a drone to work independently under the user's control. Electronic hardware components activate the auto-orientation system that processes information and prepare the user interface. These components are the central processor unit, memory, and random access memory.
Auto-orientation only works if there is an active power supply. Once the user activates the drone's power supply, the automatic orientation system starts re-orienting the user's interface. If the control interface is ready, the user can start commanding the drone. An example is launching the drone above the ground and starts exploring the environment.
Auto Orientation Component:
1. Central Processing Unit (CPU): This is the drone's brain that processes the auto orientation system. This electrical component is a touchable hardware installed to the motherboard. The CPU activates automatic orientation to process and acquire information.
2. Memory: This is a small touchable electronic hardware component installed to the motherboard. The memory's function is for storing and sharing information. This electronic hardware stores image or video taken by the drone's camera lens.
3. Mother Board: The motherboard is a tangible Printed Circuit Board (PCB) found inside the drone. It holds most electronic hardware components such as the memory and CPU hardware. The motherboard connects electronic components together to activate the auto orientation's processing system.
4. External Memory: This is a removable extra memory component attachable to the drone's Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. The external memory provides alternative memory storage if the primary memory storage is already full. An example is the USB flash drive.
Automatic Orientation Importance:
· Automatic orientation needs power supply availability. Auto-orientation on drones cannot operate without a power supply.
· Activates the control system to easily navigate drone's features. Auto-orientation powers the processing unit to re-orient the user interface.
· Drones function's independently after following a certain command. Auto-orientation allows the user to command a simple task to a drone. An example, the controller uses the launch gear to let the drone fly above the ground.
· Automatic orientation improves data processing accuracy. The system organizes the functions of the processor and memory while sharing and processing information.
· Establishing an effective communication between the drone and the controller. Automatic orientation processes information to execute a specific task.
· Detecting errors is an important function for the automatic orientation on a drone. The system warns the user to fix any detected problems before it affects the processing system.
· Automatic orientation regularly updates the current status to the user right after the drone is activated. An example is updating on the drone's current battery capacity in percentage.
Pros and Cons of Auto Orientation:
1. Automatic Response: As the auto-orientation is activated the system immediately prepares the user interface. The automatic orientation system creates a program to accomplish the user's command. An example, the user orders the automatic orientation system to fly the drone vertically from the ground to the atmosphere.
2. Programmed Memory: Automatic orientation always store data to the memory using an analog algorithm system. The auto-orientation processes image, video, or media clip automatically in the memory's storage.
3. Communication: The automatic response system acts as a connector between the processing unit, memory, and other electrical hardware components. The system uses an analog algorithm to store, process and manipulate data.
4. Organize Tasks: Automatic orientation organizes each function of the drone. The system controls all data in the memory and processes a command through the CPU.
5. Notification: Automatic orientation immediately notifies the user if there are changes detected in the system. As an example, the system notifies the user that the drone is ready to record a new video clip.
1. Power Supply Dependent: Auto-orientation only depends on an active power supply. If the user forgot to charge the drone's battery, the auto-orientation fails to function.
2. Constant Software Update: The auto-orientation system needs a constant software update. The automatic-orientation system's functionality becomes obsolete if the user fails to schedule the software for an update.
3. Hacking: Auto-orientation is connected to a local access network. There are anonymous users who are capable of penetrating the control systems of drones. Hackers can always decode any drone's algorithm to overrun the device.
4. Power Outages: Automatic orientation experiences system error when the power supply is frequently interrupted. Power outages stops the processing system of automatic orientation.
5. Expose Confidential Information: Automatic orientation risks the privacy of data kept in the memory. If the drone is connected to an active social media account, third parties can manipulate the system to steal and exploit confidential information.

Scientists have found a way to increase fermentable sugar stores in plants which could lead to plant biomass being easier to convert into eco-friendly sustainable biofuels. Their research is highlighted in the latest issue of Business, the quarterly highlights magazine of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
Using the plant Arabidopsis, Dr Paul Dupree and his team have found three enzymes responsible for the production of all detectable levels of a type of sugar called glucomannan. Their research also shows that the quantity of glucomannan can be increased or decreased in the stem with no visible detrimental effects on plant development or cell wall strength. However, the researchers found that changes in glucomannan levels had a detrimental effect on seed development.

Are you eager to witness the rapid growth of your guppy fry? If so, learning how to raise guppy fry fast is key to ensuring their healthy development. These tiny, colorful fish can grow quickly under the right conditions, and with proper care, you can witness their transformation from tiny fry to vibrant adults in no time. In this guide, we will explore the essential steps and techniques to maximize the growth rate of your guppy fry. From creating an optimal environment to providing nutritious food, we will delve into the strategies that will help you achieve your goal of raising guppy fry fast. So, let's dive in and discover how to raise guppy fry fast, step by step.
On How to Raise Guppy Fry Fast
If you want to raise guppy fry quickly and ensure their healthy growth, here are some tips:
- Separation: As soon as the guppy fry are born, it's important to separate them from the adult fish. Guppy fry are susceptible to being eaten by larger fish, including their own parents. Move them to a separate tank or breeding box to provide a safe environment for their growth.
- Proper tank setup: Set up a suitable tank for the guppy fry. Use a small tank or breeding box with a sponge filter or air-driven filter to maintain water quality without creating strong currents that could harm the fry. Ensure the water temperature is around 75-80°F (24-27°C) and provide hiding spots such as dense vegetation or artificial structures.
- Feeding: Feed them a high-quality diet formulated specifically for fry. You can use commercially available fry food, finely crushed flakes, or infusoria. Feed small amounts multiple times a day to ensure they have enough food without causing water quality issues.
- Water quality: Maintaining good water quality is crucial for the health and growth of guppy fry. Perform regular water changes of around 20% every few days to keep the water clean and stable. Optionally use a water conditioner to remove chlorine and other harmful substances from tap water.
- Gradual introduction of solid food: As the fry grow, you can gradually introduce finely crushed flakes, baby brine shrimp, or microworms to their diet. These foods provide additional nutrition and help in their development. Monitor their behavior and adjust the feeding routine accordingly.
- Growth-friendly environment: Ensure the tank is well-maintained and free from any potential stressors. Avoid sudden temperature fluctuations, excessive noise, and bright lights that could cause stress. Provide a stable and comfortable environment to promote healthy growth.
Remember, each fish's growth rate can vary, and patience is key. With proper care, feeding, and a suitable environment, you can help your guppy fry grow quickly and thrive.
When considering how to raise guppy fry fast, it's important to provide them with a nutritious and appropriate diet to support their growth and development. Here are some good food options for guppy fry:
- Powdered or liquid fry food: Commercially available powdered or liquid fry food specifically formulated for young fish is an excellent choice. These foods often contain a balanced blend of essential nutrients, proteins, vitamins, and minerals necessary for fry growth. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for feeding quantities and frequency.
- Finely crushed flakes: You can crush high-quality flakes into fine particles to make them more manageable for the fry. Ensure the flakes are fresh and free from additives or preservatives. Look for flakes that are specifically designed for fry or small fish.
- Newly hatched brine shrimp: Baby brine shrimp (artemia) are a highly nutritious food source for guppy fry. You can hatch brine shrimp eggs at home using a brine shrimp hatchery or purchase pre-hatched brine shrimp from aquarium stores. Feed the newly hatched brine shrimp to the fry, as they are small enough to be easily consumed.
- Micro worms: Microworms are another popular live food option for guppy fry. These tiny nematodes can be cultured at home or purchased from specialty stores. Microworms provide a good source of nutrition for the fry.
- Infusoria: Infusoria refers to a mixture of microscopic organisms such as protozoa, rotifers, and microalgae. You can culture infusoria at home, and it can serve as a suitable first food for newly hatched fry, as they are small and easily consumed.
- Commercial fry foods: Some commercial fish foods are specifically formulated for guppy fry and other small fish species. These foods often come in the form of powders or finely ground pellets, providing a balanced diet for the growing fry. Look for reputable brands and check the ingredients to ensure they contain high-quality nutrients.
When feeding guppy fry, remember to offer small amounts of food multiple times a day, as they have small stomachs and need frequent feeding. Observe their behavior and adjust the feeding routine accordingly to avoid overfeeding or wasting excess food, which can lead to water quality issues.
Variety is key when it comes to feeding guppy fry, as it helps provide a range of nutrients and encourages a well-rounded diet. Incorporating a mix of the above-mentioned food options will help ensure the fry receive the necessary nutrition for healthy growth and development.
In conclusion, raising guppy fry fast requires careful attention to their environment, nutrition, and overall well-being. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can create an ideal setting for their growth and development. Remember to provide a safe and separate space for the fry, maintain optimal water conditions, and offer a balanced diet. Regular monitoring and maintaining a suitable stocking density are also important factors in promoting rapid growth. While patience is required, with consistent care and attention, you can help your guppy fry thrive and reach adulthood in a relatively short time. Enjoy the rewarding experience of witnessing their transformation and the vibrant colors they will display as they mature.
Happy guppy fry raising!


Documentation:Windows Section 5.2
From POV-Wiki

Insert Menu
The Insert menu allows you to insert header sections, object definitions, etc. into a file you are editing with the internal editor, with only a few clicks of your mouse. It is only visible if you have selected an editor window.
This menu is built dynamically from the directory called 'Insert Menu', which is in the POV-Ray for Windows installation directory. The way it works is similar to the Windows 95/NT Start Menu. You can even edit it at run-time, and POVWIN will automatically pick up the fact that it's been changed and re-load it.
It has the additional special feature that menu entries may optionally have an image file associated with them, which is displayed when that entry is highlighted. A set of these image files is shipped with POV-Ray for Windows as standard; you can re-render these at a higher resolution if you like - see Re-Render Insert Menu Bitmaps in the Other Settings menu.
How the Insert Menu is Built
Physical Layout
Each sub-menu in the Insert Menu is a directory (also called a 'folder' these days). To create a new sub-menu, just create a new directory. The submenu will have the same name as the directory.
The actual items that you can insert in your scene files are simply text files. POVWIN recognizes them by the extension.TXT. Any.TXT file in the Insert Menu directory tree will appear in the Insert Menu. The name shown in the Insert Menu will be the filename of the.TXT file, minus the.TXT extension. If you select this file from the Insert Menu, the contents of the corresponding text file will be inserted into your scene file at the current cursor location.
Sorting the Insert Menu
It is possible to order the insert menu entries any way you like, both for folders and for the files (or sub-folders) within them. Normally, the entries are added to the menu in alphabetical order, with all folders being added before files. However, you can influence the ordering of each group (folders and files) by prepending a 'NN -'to a folder or file, where 'NN' is any letter or digit (note however that this does not permit you to place a file before a folder).
For example, suppose you wanted to move the folder called 'Transformations' (which creates the menu entry called 'Transformations' in the above sample image) so that it appears between the 'Expressions' and 'Headers' items in the menu. You could achieve this by re-naming the folder from 'Transformations' to, say, 'F0 - Transformations' (the choice of 'F0' in this example is arbitrary - you could use anything that will alphabetically sort between 'Expressions' and 'Headers').
When the editor code builds the insert menu (which happens each time you change it), any file or folder that starts with a prefix of 'NN -'(note the trailing space) will be sorted using the prefix, but displayed without the prefix.
Adding a Separator
Creating a special file called '-.txt' (a hyphen followed by.txt) usually prefixed by a 'NN -'(e.g. '30 - -.txt'), will cause a menu separator to be drawn instead of inserting a new item into the menu. The contents of the file are ignored.
To create a separator between sub-menus, do the same thing as above, but create a folder instead of a file and leave off the '.txt' extension.
Using the Insert Menu
Each Insert Menu text file can have an associated BMP file that provides a preview of the item that the text file can generate. In the above example image, the item provides the spiral2 pattern, so the preview image shows a rendered example of this pattern.
Preview images can be of any bit-depth, but if you want to distribute them we strongly recommend that they be no more than 8-bit. Additionally, they should be no larger than 640x480 pixels.
The easiest way to understand how it all fits together is to inspect the Insert Menu directory that ships with POV-Ray for Windows. The first item in the Insert Menu will allow you to do that by opening an Explorer window located at that point on your disk.
See also Re-Render Insert Menu Bitmaps in the Other Settings menu.
Render Menu
The Render Menu contains options that relate to starting, stopping, and controlling the rendering process (i.e. the generation of images).
Edit Settings/Render
This command lets you select an INI and/or a POV file and make any last-minute command-line changes to the POV-Ray options before rendering.
In the 'Ini file' box, you can select an INI file by typing in the filename. You can also browse your directory structure for it. POV-Ray for Windows remembers the last directory from which an INI file was actually selected. If you select an INI file that has sections (see Sections in Understanding File Types), the Section box shows the first section label. Clicking on the down arrow brings up a menu of other sections in the INI file for you to choose from.
In the 'Source file' box, you can select a POV file by typing in the filename. You can also browse your directory structure for it. Once again, the directory that shows up is the last directory from which a POV file was actually selected.
If you currently have an editor window selected, you will not be able to change these entries as they will be set to the name of the file you are editing (even if its extension is not.POV). If you want to use these fields you need to choose the Message window first.
The commands are processed from top to bottom. Any options in the INI file you select override the default POVRAY.INI file as well as any POVRAY.INI file in the directory where the scene file resides. A selected POV file overrides any 'Input_File_Name=' option in the selected INI file. Finally, any command-line options override corresponding options in any INI file. The command line is processed from left to right; if an option is repeated on the command line, the one last processed applies.
If you want to change the command-line settings but do not want to start rendering the currently loaded POV file, press 'Set but don't Render'.
The command line is versatile. If you have a POV file and a number of options loaded, you can override the scene to be rendered by typing the name of another POV file on the command line. Conversely, you can type in one or more options (or the name of an INI file), forcing POV-Ray for Windows to render the currently loaded POV scene with the new options. If you type the name of an INI file which specifies a new POV file with the 'Input_File_Name=' option, the current scene file as well as the current options are overridden. See also Understanding File Types.
Select File and Render
This is the way to select a file from disk for immediate rendering. If the file is a POV file, it is rendered with the current options. If it is an INI file with no POV input file specified, the options will apply to the currently loaded POV file, only to be overridden by command-line settings. If the INI file specifies a POV input file, that POV scene is rendered with the options set in the INI file. See also Understanding File Types.
Start Rendering (Go!)/Stop Rendering
This is a toggle. If you are not currently rendering, the command Start Rendering instructs POV-Ray for Windows to start rendering the currently loaded POV file with the current settings. While POV-Ray for Windows is rendering, the command reads Stop Rendering and will interrupt the current rendering job. You can continue an interrupted rendering job by selecting 'Continue ' from the Rerun SubMenu.
Run Demo
The easiest way to see what POV-Ray for Windows is capable of is selecting this command, which renders a sample POV-Ray file to screen. To interrupt rendering, select Render/Stop Rendering or double-click on the drawer icon in the top left-hand corner of the rendering window. See also Getting Started.
Run Benchmark
This command instructs POV-Ray for Windows to run the standard POV-Ray benchmark file, using a given set of options.
Note: The file itself and the options used are built into the program and may not be changed (this includes the resolution). Any options specified on the command-line will be ignored.
Be aware that during the render, there is no image display, and furthermore, no output file is produced. The only purpose of the benchmark command is to determine how long it takes to render the standard file with the specific options used.
Immediately before POV-Ray for Windows starts writing the render information to the message display, it will output a line telling you what version of the official benchmark is being used.
Warning: If you choose to quote your benchmark results publicly, it is essential that you include the benchmark version and the exact version of POV-Ray that you ran it on. Changes to the benchmark file itself, and optimizations to POV-Ray, may make comparisions between different versions of the benchmark or different versions of POV-Ray meaningless, especially if it is CPU performance that you are testing.
The actual benchmark file used is built-in to the program; it is not dependent on the benchmark.pov file which is included in the ~\scenes\advanced directory. However, if you want to run the benchmark manually, or on another platform, you may use that file (just make sure it is the same version). The file also contains the recommended command-line parameters to be used with the render.
After the benchmark completes a dialog box will be displayed showing the average PPS (pixels per second) that the render took. Larger

Are you in search of affordable appliances or looking to sell excess inventory?
Appliance liquidation sales present a fantastic opportunity for both buyers and sellers to engage in the thriving market of discounted appliances. Understanding the ins and outs of appliance liquidation is essential whether you're a savvy consumer looking for affordable solutions or a reseller aiming to maximize profits. This in-depth guide will examine the appliance liquidation process, offer professional advice on locating and assessing liquidation appliances nearby, cover various forms of liquidation, and address frequently asked issues.
Understanding the Process of Appliance Liquidation
Using a B2B recommerce platform like B-Stock, resellers have access to a vast network of enterprise retailers and manufacturers. These platforms play a crucial role in connecting retailers with excess or discontinued inventory to resellers who can effectively manage and sell these products. Let's dive into the appliance liquidation process, focusing on the "Big 5" of the industry: washers, dryers, refrigerators/freezers, dishwashers, and ovens/stoves/cooktops.
Collaboration between retailers and recommerce platforms
When retailers face situations such as overstock, store closures, or seasonal inventory turnover, they collaborate with recommerce platforms to efficiently handle the liquidation process. B2B recommerce platforms like B-Stock act as intermediaries, managing the logistics of the liquidation sales. These platforms provide a centralized marketplace where retailers can list their excess inventory for auction or direct purchase by qualified buyers with resale businesses.
The process of appliance liquidation often involves auction-based platforms. Resellers, registered on the platform, have the opportunity to bid on bulk quantities of appliances. The auction mechanism allows resellers to determine the value of inventory and what they're willing to pay for it. Resellers make important decisions about bid strategy, market knowledge, and estimations of possible resale value during the auction process.
Types of Appliance Liquidation
Appliance liquidation encompasses various types, each presenting unique characteristics and opportunities for buyers. Understanding these different types can help resellers navigate the market more effectively and capitalize on specific niches. Let's explore some common types of appliance liquidation:
Store closure liquidation
Store closure liquidation occurs when a retail store or chain shuts down its operations. To recover a portion of their investment under such circumstances, retailers frequently dispose of their inventory, in which a wide range of equipment usually becomes available at discounted prices. Store closure liquidation sales are excellent opportunities for resellers to acquire a diverse inventory of appliances from various brands.
Overstock liquidation arises when retailers have surplus inventory due to overestimating demand or changes in consumer preferences. Liquidating overstock appliances allows retailers to clear their storage space and free up capital. For resellers, this type of liquidation presents an opportunity to obtain brand-new appliances that have never been used or opened at discounted rates. Overstock liquidation sales often feature appliances in pristine condition, making them highly desirable for buyers.
Seasonal inventory liquidation occurs at the end of a particular season or holiday when retailers need to make room for upcoming products while recovering some of their investment. For example, at the end of the summer season, retailers might liquidate air conditioners, fans, and outdoor grills. By buying seasonal appliances at lower prices, resellers can potentially sell them at higher profits later. However, this approach requires them to have ample storage space to strategically hold onto this inventory.
Returned and refurbished
Another type of appliance liquidation is returned and refurbished liquidation. In this case, shops get appliances that customers have returned for a variety of reasons, like minor cosmetic damage, functional problems, or just a change of heart. After being examined, fixed, and reconditioned, these returned appliances are put back in working order. This product type adds an extra layer of reassurance for discerning buyers. Fun fact: Scratch and dent inventory is historically easy to sell and allows you to move inventory quickly. Something to think about: 80% of appliance purchases are replacement purchases. This means shoppers are looking for a unit to bring home fast, usually in the next 24-48 hours.
Retailers could be left with inventory that they need to liquidate when manufacturers decide to stop making a specific model. Appliances that would otherwise become obsolete can be purchased at steep discounts during discontinued and end-of-line liquidation deals. These appliances are frequently completely new and unused, but because older models are being phased out, they are now more reasonably priced.
Overall, bulk liquidation involves the sale of large quantities of appliances in a single transaction. When retailers or manufacturers have excess inventory or need to quickly clear out a substantial amount of appliances, they can sell it to traditional liquidators or B2B recommerce platforms.
Tips for Buying Liquidation Appliances
Evaluating inventory condition
As a reseller, it is essential to thoroughly evaluate the condition of the liquidated appliances before placing a bid or making a purchase. B2B recommerce platforms provide detailed product descriptions, condition reports, and often include photos to help resellers make informed decisions. Carefully reviewing this information allows resellers to assess the quality of the appliances and determine their resale potential.
Conducting market research
To maximize profitability, resellers should conduct comprehensive market research. This involves analyzing consumer demand, identifying popular appliance models, and understanding market trends. By staying informed about current market conditions, resellers can make strategic decisions regarding which liquidated appliances to bid on and which ones are likely to yield higher returns.
Calculating shipping and logistics costs
There are unique shipping and logistics costs associated with buying liquidated appliances. Resellers should factor in these costs to determine the overall profitability of their purchases. Accurate cost calculations help resellers set appropriate pricing and ensure they can still generate a profit after accounting for these shipping expenses.
Considering brand reputation and warranty coverage
Brand reputation plays a significant role in the resale value of liquidated appliances. By considering brand reputation and warranty coverage, resellers can strategically decide on inventory their customers will find most appealing. Appliances that still carry the original manufacturer's warranty can add value to potential buyers.
Finding Liquidation Appliances Near You
If you're interested in buying or selling appliances, here are some additional tips to consider:
Online liquidation platforms
In addition to B-Stock, there are several reputable B2B recommerce platforms that specialize in appliance liquidation. These platforms provide a large variety of manufacturers and retailers, guaranteeing a varied assortment of merchandise. Find the platform that best meets your company's demands by doing some research and comparing several options. To aid in your decision-making, look for marketplaces that offer transparent information about their sellers, product descriptions, and condition reports. You may also consider platforms that provide access to exclusive sales, early notifications, and additional support.
Create an auction strategy
Understanding market trends and demand is crucial when participating in liquidation auctions. Research popular appliance models, examine historical pricing information, and keep up with business news. You may use this information to set goals, create a budget, and strategically bid to acquire the greatest bargains. Consider setting bidding limits to ensure you don't overspend.

It has a 360 degree view of the surrounding Berlin cityscape. The debating chamber of the Bundestag, the German parliament, can be seen down below. A mirrored cone in the center of the dome directs sunlight into the building, and so that visitors can see the working of the chamber--symbolizing that the people are above the government. The dome is open to the public and can be reached by climbing two steel, spiraling ramps that are reminiscent of a double-helix. The glass dome was also designed by Foster to be environmentally friendly. Energy efficient features involving the use of the daylight shining through the mirrored cone were applied, effectively decreasing the carbon emissions of the building. Foster was awarded the Pritzker Prize in 1999 for his work on the building, which has become one of the top tourist destinations in Berlin.

The basic arrangement for cross-laced spokes is thus:
Spoke Length = sqrt[ (RRSP - (HSR * cos(SAA)))^2 + HFO^2 - (HSR * cos(SAA))^2 ]
For radial (straight) spokes, the formula is simpler:
Spoke Length = sqrt[ (RRSP - HSR)^2 + HFO^2 ]
- RRSP (Rim Radius plus Spoke Penetration) is half of the Effective Rim Diameter given by the manufacturer plus 2mm for the spoke's penetration into the nipple
- HSR (Hub Spoke Radius) is the radius from the hub center to the outermost edge of the spoke holes on the hub
- SAA (Spoke Anchor Angle) is the angle of from the hub spoke hole to rim hole that the spoke goes to. It depends upon the lacing pattern and which individual spoke you are calculating for.
- HFO (Hub Flange Offset) is the distance from the hub's flange to the lateral center of the wheel, based upon the dish of the wheel. For a front wheel, this will be the same on each side, but for a rear wheel, which has a dish to accommodate the rear gears, this is different for each side since the hub's own lateral center is different from the wheel's lateral center.
I'll credit this page for the formula; it also has more detail.
There are also a bunch of calculators online, the easiest of which is probably Damon Rinard's spocalc spreadsheet. Other calculators:
As usual, Sheldon Brown has a great page on wheel building and you can learn more about the math from the above mentioned book.

customer consented to the transaction despite the disclosed conflict? If the customer consented, was the customer in a position to evaluate the effect of the conflict on the customer's interest? The more vulnerable the customer the greater the burden on the investment adviser to show that the customer has knowingly consented to the conflict. Disclosure and customer consent may not always be sufficient remedies for conflicts of interest.
 The examiner will review any written policy of the investment adviser on conflicts of interest and will consider conflicts issues throughout the review of books and records during the audit. An examiner might spot a conflict through review of correspondence with customers, customer complaints, or through the statements of account of customers and of the investment adviser itself and of its employees. Once an examiner has spotted a conflict, the examiner will generally ask the principals of the investment adviser for an explanation. The examiner will then seek further evidence to confirm the representations of the investment adviser. Conflicts of interest may involve serious securities law violations, such as sale of unregistered securities, fraud in connection with the purchase or sale of securities, and unlawful acts of a person advising another. Some of the most serious conflicts problems arise when the investment adviser is also an issuer or is an affiliate of an issuer. If there is an apparent conflict of interest, the investment adviser has a greater burden of showing that the investment recommendation was suitable for the customer.
 7. Custody and Discretion. The examiners will look at the way your firm operates to determine whether it has discretion or custody of client funds. If the adviser has direct or indirect access to client funds or securities, it has custody of client funds. An adviser who is also an issuer of securities is deemed to have custody unless an independent custodian is utilized and the custodial agreement(s) include provisions that define the method by which the advisor receives payment and withdraws funds (via an independent representative). If your firm uses an independent custodian, the examiners may look at whether the adviser has any affiliation with the custodian. The examiner may obtain information regarding how instructions are conveyed to a custodian, who determines where the client funds or securities are maintained, and, if the custodian is a person other than a broker-dealer (such as a bank), how the transactions are settled.
 The examiner may look at your firm's billing practices to determine whether it has custody. An investment adviser may also be deemed to have custody of client funds if it sends the bills for its services directly to the custodian who then automatically pays the adviser unless:
 - The client authorizes the arrangement in writing
 - The adviser sends the invoice to both the client and the custodian at the same time
 - The invoice shows the amount of the fee, how it was calculated and the value of the assets on which the invoice is based
 If you have or are deemed to have custody of client assets, we will want to see how you handle those assets. In particular we will look for any evidence of failure to comply with the rules relating to safeguarding client assets in the adviser's custody. Does Form ADV reflect that the adviser has custody? Are these assets maintained in segregated accounts? Does the adviser maintain the required records of client assets in its custody? Does the client get an itemized statement at least every three months showing the assets in the adviser's custody and the activity in the account? Has the surprise audit of client assets been conducted at least annually by an independent accountant? If the adviser has discretionary authority over the client's account is there any evidence of excessive trading, self-dealing, preferential treatment, unsuitable recommendations, unauthorized transactions or incomplete disclosure?
 8. Compensation. How is the adviser compensated? (Fixed fee, hourly fee, asset-based fee, performance fee, wrap fee arrangements, start up fees, termination fees, soft dollar arrangements, etc.) Is there any evidence of variation in the fees being charged to different clients for the same service? Do the fees charged appear to be reasonable? Are the fees charged consistent with what the clients were told the fees would be?
 9. Marketing. Does the adviser employ paid solicitors? Performance advertising? Testimonials? Misleading DBAs? Does the adviser in any way misrepresent its qualifications? Guarantee results? Any evidence of incomplete disclosure or non-disclosure? False advertising? Use of non-registered persons?
 10. Disclosure. How is the required disclosure made? If a document other than Part 2 of Form ADV is used does it contain all the necessary information? Does the adviser maintain records of delivery of the brochure? Does it appear that disclosure is consistently made in a timely manner? The examiner will look at what investment advisory services are being provided, who is providing those services, what is the client being charged for the services, and what conflicts of interest might be involved for the investment adviser. The examiner will then compare the way the firm operates to the disclosure the firm provides to customers to see if the disclosure accurately reflects the firm's practices.
 11. Contracts. Does the adviser maintain a copy of each contract with every client? Is the contract in writing? Does the contract describe the services to be provided? The term of the contract? The advisory fee and a formula for computing the fee? Is there a provision for the return of any prepaid, unearned fee in the event of termination or nonperformance? Does it state whether discretionary power is granted to the adviser? Does it provide that the contract may not be assigned by the adviser without the consent of the other party? What services are being provided and who is providing are questions that often arise where the investment adviser only introduces the clients to one or more other advisers who will actually provide the investment advice to the client. These questions also arise in connection with wrap fee programs, where some services may be provided by someone other than the investment adviser. The investment advisory agreement should answer these questions, as should the investment adviser's brochure (Part 2 of Form ADV). Alabama Securities Commission auditors review the investment advisory contract and compare the contract with the activity the auditor observes at the audit site and with the contents of Form ADV.
 Does the contract contain a hedge clause, mandate arbitration of disputes, restrict the venue for settlement or otherwise impinge upon the client's rights? Examiners review investment advisory agreements to make sure they do not contain "hedge clauses" in which the investment adviser disclaims liability for losses occasioned by the investment adviser's negligence. Hedge clauses are usually inconsistent with state laws and are therefore ineffective. Inclusion of hedge clauses in an agreement is therefore misleading to clients.
 12. Practice Management. Has the adviser established and maintained written supervisory procedures? Do they include provisions for effective supervision of representatives? Are personnel familiar with the procedures? Is there any evidence of instances of failure to supervise? Does the adviser maintain records of all transactions by the firm and all associates? Are all books and records complete and current? Has the adviser amended its filings with the jurisdiction promptly following changes in the information? Are the adviser's records in an easily understood format? Does the adviser engage in other business activities that present a current or potential conflict of interest?
 How are such conflicts handled? Are financial records and reports prepared and maintained in accordance with accepted accounting principles? Are copies of all filings with the jurisdiction available? Are copies of all advertising or other sales pieces available for examination? Does the adviser maintain a complaint file? Is there anything therein, or elsewhere, that indicates that clients may have misunderstood or been confused by or about the services, contract, compensation, or some other issues?
What is going to happen as a result of the exam?
Once the examiners determine that their job in your office is finished, they still have more to do. Normally, and if time permits, the examiner will conduct an "exit interview" during which the adviser will be apprised of the major points discovered during the on-site portion of the exam. Having discussed their findings and possible action, they will collect their notes and leave.
If the findings are minor, the adviser will be sent a letter outlining the deficiencies and requesting that the adviser respond with a plan to resolve them. If serious violations are discovered, the examiner may refer the matter to the enforcement staff for further investigation and enforcement action. The enforcement action might include having the adviser execute a Consent Order wherein it agrees to specific corrective steps such as hiring an outside consultant to supervise certain aspects of the business or paying a fine or instituting new supervisory procedures. The aim of any such action is to get the adviser into compliance with the law. Occasionally, the examiner discovers violations that cannot be corrected or that suggest that the continuing presence of the firm or one or more of its principals or employees in the investment advisory business would put the investing public at undue risk. In such cases, enforcement staff may take action to suspend or revoke the registration of the offending persons. In the even more rare situations where a crime has been committed, enforcement staff may investigate and make a referral to Alabama Securities Commission's legal division for criminal prosecution.
What about a written report?
As mentioned above, in time, usually sixty to ninety days, you will get a letter from the Alabama Securities Commission. It will set forth any deficiencies noted and ask you to reply stating what corrective action you plan to resolve the stated deficiencies. Fourteen days are usually given to respond to the letter. If you have questions you should call or write to the person who signed the letter. If you need more time to reply send an interim report and note what you have done and how you plan to complete the necessary action. Normally an extension can be granted upon reasonable request.
How do we know it is over?
Most of the time, when you satisfactorily reply to the deficiency letter and receive an exam closure letter this will mark the end of the experience until the next exam cycle. However, if you had significant problems,

In ancient Rome, virtus was originally the quality of "manliness," from vir, "man." It often means "valor," but as the quality that made a man fulfill his potential as a man, it came to mean something more closely akin to "character, personal integrity," and hence "virtue," which women could also possess. Virtus was personified as a deity, though not always of the same gender. In the Roman Republic, Virtus often received sacrifices in the company of Honos, Honor, and the pair were also cultivated as deities jointly at temples. Virtus continued to be regarded as a deity in the Imperial era, and was one of the qualities or virtues associated with the cult of the emperors.

ADE carried out data collection activities during three weeks in April and May 2023 in close contact with key stakeholders and local partners.
During the field phase, on-site visits to projects in sectors including transport, agriculture, power, water, social, public, and private were carried out. These field visits will support a comprehensive assessment of the projects and their effects on the ground. By conducting these field visits and engaging with various stakeholders, ADE's evaluation team sought to gather first-hand information and insights.
The evaluation aims to assess the design and implementation of the AfDB's strategy, programs, and operations. It also aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the AfDB's CSPs in achieving expected development outcomes. Additionally, the evaluation will identify operational factors that either facilitated or hindered successful implementation. The goal is to derive evidence-based lessons that can contribute to the improved design and implementation of the next cycle of the AfDB's CSP in Kenya.

Regarding liquid nitrogen, although more and more widely used, we ordinary people have begun to contact liquid nitrogen-related items. So can liquid nitrogen be in direct contact with food? Will no toxic substances be produced after contact with food?
In fact, the temperature of liquid nitrogen is about minus 80 degrees Celsius, and we generally use it to store human cell specimens, which can keep the cell activity and the RNA inside it from being degraded.
After exposure to air, it will quickly volatilize and biochemically form nitrogen into the air. Although direct contact with food does not produce toxic substances, it cannot be eaten anymore and is frozen.
The mystery of many foods is liquid nitrogen at -196°C. The frozen taste and coldness of the freezer are very different.
Liquid foods are generally used for more expensive foods, and dry ice is cheaper (lower cost, much less loss, but only -78.5 °C). The transportation industry uses dry ice for storage. Liquid nitrogen is liquid. Dry ice is solid. The seal will explode, causing great loss in the seal. If the western food shop and the expensive ice cream shop use dry ice for cooking, it would be too profitable.
In the case of liquid nitrogen, when the cells are thawed, the cell mechanism is directly ruptured due to the increase in the volume of water in the cells. It seems that this is really good for ice cream. It is said that the ice cream needs less bubbles inside, just like liquid nitrogen.

(near Webster City, Hamilton
Three dedicated groundwater monitoring wells were drilled at
Briggs Woods Park
near Webster City in Hamilton County. Briggs Woods 1 is 35 feet deep and is
monitoring the water table in the Quaternary till above the bedrock aquifer. The
next deepest well (Briggs Woods 2) is 110 feet deep and allows us to monitor an
upper aquifer zone (St. Louis-Pella Formations) in the Mississippian aquifer.
Briggs Woods 3 is 410 feet deep and taps water from the lower portion of the
Mississippian aged Maynes Creek Formation.
Core descriptions (Quaternary
stratigraphic section have been prepared for each well.
Pump tests were performed on all three wells to determine the water level
response when the wells were pumped. During the well drilling, isolated
intervals were selected for water quality analysis. These intervals were
isolated using a packer (an inflatable device) and then water samples were
Water quality analyses were performed on the two deep wells in July 2002 and
April 2003 (click

On the Trade-Off Between Environmental and Economic Objectives in Community Energy Storage Operational Optimization
The need to limit climate change has led to policies that aim for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Often, a trade-off exists between reducing emissions and associated costs. In this article, a multi-objective optimization framework is proposed to determine this trade-off when operating a Community Energy Storage (CES) system in a neighborhood with high shares of photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation capacity.

text: In English, pitch accent placement makes a word prominent. Previous studies have documented that talkers can highlight accentual prominence by such strategies as lowering the jaw more in the stressed vowel of the word. This study examines the acoustic consequences of such supralaryngeal correlates of accenting. Speakers of Australian English produced multiple tokens of dialogues which elicited nuclear-accented and de-accented productions of the names Beeber, Deeder, and Geeger, which have a stressed high front vowel in different consonantal contexts. Recordings were made of tongue--dorsum and jaw movement using the Movetrack electromagnetometer system. The results showed multiple articulatory strategies that varied across talkers and consonantal context. For example, of two talkers that lowered the jaw more in accented syllables, one fronted the tongue to compensate for the jaw lowering in all contexts, whereas another did so only in the velar context. Nevertheless, accenting the word resulted in a consistent raising of the frequencies or amplitudes of spectral peaks in the region of the second and third formants. These results suggest a model of accent as ''localized hyperarticulation'' whereby the talker has multiple articulatory strategies for achieving a perceptual effect of ''sharpening'' the /i/ timbre to increase the word's clarity.

Lead Shot vs. Steel Shot
In more and more areas, laws require waterfowl hunters to use steel shot rather than the traditional (and toxic) lead shot. But even if given the option, many hunters are confused by the distinction. In this article we hope to clear it up.
lead shot, steel shot - #4 steel and #4 lead cartridges
Steel shot (left), is slightly larger than lead shot (right).
lead shot, steel shot - geese in flight
From the standpoint of a goose encountering them as projectiles, lead shot and steel shot are about the same. But only lead shot contaminates the environment afterwards, if it fails to find its mark.

While surfing various sites, I see that several people are still publishing the false information that William Brockett was born in
Wallingford, CT, son of Elisha. This has been proven to be wrong, and one would hope that all good researchers will correct their gedcoms and websites accordingly.
It is also unfortunate that John Brockett of New Haven is repeatedly shown to be born 1611, son of John of Caswell, who was son of Sir John Brockett III. This, too, is incorrect. The birth date is not yet proved, but John, son of John of Caswell, was not on the Hector in 1637. He was still in England in 1638, busy cheating his father out
of the Caswell farm, as proved in a Chancery Bill for that year and 1642-4. There is no evidence that Hector John was descended from Sir John III. Many people have based their Brockett ancestries on the false information.

I have a data that lists the value of a contract per contract number. So I've created a pivot table that counts the number of contracts valued at 0 - 10, 11 - 20, etc. I want to be able to format the group, e.g. $0 - $10, $11 - $20 I've tried formatting the underlying data as currency and formatting the column in the pivot table, but it still shows as 0 - 10, 11 - 20
Also I have a column in the pivot table that says Total which is the Count of the number of contracts in that range, i.e. Value Total 0 - 10 1 11 - 20 1
Its an autogenerated column heading that Excel put in. How do I change this to say Number of contracts. I want it changed because when I chart the pivot table, the series is called called Total :(

The most bulletproof approach would be to make another column and construct the proper label with string concatenation. Then use that column as dimension ("Group by" in your post terminology).
If you can give more specifics about the data (e.g. column layout, based on which you construct your pivot table) then maybe we can come up with more specific answer.
share|improve this answer
It's not a terribly satisfying solution, especially if you have many groups, but you can change the names of the groups by typing over them individually in the formula bar at the top of the sheet. Thankfully, unlike formatting, it remembers the changed names even if you mess around with the contents and layout of the PivotTable. (Of course, if you change the grouping options themselves, your customizations will be lost.)
As far as the "Total" label, it won't let you change that on the PivotTable (not even via the formula bar), but it will let you change the title of the chart - just select the title and type in your desired text. Again, unlike most formatting changes, it will remember your new title even if you play around with the chart options.

You are right, it does not show the $ sign. Another simple solution is mentionning the unit in your header, such as Amount ($). This translates well when doing charts afterwards.
And Martha is spot on about having to type header names and chart titles yourself!
Here's what I get:
Amount ($) Number of contracts
 0-9 1
10-19 1
20-29 1
40-50 1

available in a range of sizes and are no longer considered design limited. Today's rotary screen machines are highly productive, allow for the quick changeover of patterns, have few design limitations, and can be used for both continuous and discontinuous patterns.
Estimates indicate that this technique controls approximately 65% of the printed fabric market worldwide. The principle disadvantage of rotary screen printing is the high fixed cost of the equipment. The machines are generally not profitable for short yardages of widely varying patterns, because of the clean-up and machine down time when changing patterns. Flat screen printing is much more suitable for high pile fabrics, because only one squeegee pass is available with rotary screen. However, rotary machines are used for carpet and other types of pile fabrics. Most knit fabric is printed by the rotary screen method, because it does not stress (pull or stretch) the fabric during the process.
The rotary garment screen printing machine, developed in the 1960s, is the most popular device for screen printing in the industry. Screen printing on garments currently accounts for over half of the screen printing activity in the United States. [i]

 great explanation! Do you happen to know the average yards per minute printed with rotary screens? All of my fabrics are printed that way. I have a few videos I would be happy to share with you if you are interested.
 2. Jennifer says:
 What is the difference between screen printing and digital printing? Is one more eco-friendly than the other?
 1. oecotextiles says:
 This printing topic is so complex that I've had to cover it over several weeks – and digital printing is on the agenda!
 3. Janette says:
 This is a great explanation. Thanks. Good to know the worldwide stats. Is there any chance Oecotextiles will cover the digitally printing fabric process and in particular the inks used. In my experience digitally printing fabrics appear to be coming more common for smaller print runs. However, the fabrics I have received using a digitally printed process, smell very much like synthetic chemicals. I am concerned about the off gassing and health effects of these types of fabrics.

 i too print fabric but work rather more slowly…and the colour is absorbed directly into the cloth from leaves using heat and moisture. not completely environmentally friendly but getting fairly close. certainly no competition for industry though!
 5. Pritam says:
 india It's really good to explain the things in Lehman language like this. it is really helpful to give presentation for my non technical office staff. It's really really good explanation. I think it will be more helpful if you can add more pictures in next articles. Thanks again.
 6. Branden says:
 in my view its actually amazing designed for me.

Cover of "2,000 Years of Korean Embroidery" (CHA)
Korea National University of Cultural Heritage's traditional arts and crafts professor Sim Yeon-ok has published a book, titled "2,000 Years of Korean Embroidery," which offers historical analyses on the technical development of Korean embroidery, in collaboration with her students.
Established in 2000, the Korea National University of Cultural Heritage is run by the Cultural Heritage Administration.
The book presents 48 historic embroidery works from the ancient kingdoms period to the Korean Empire. The book describes in detail about the stitching techniques, materials, usages and social meanings reflected in the historically meaningful works.
According to the CHA, the examined artifacts include several items that were rarely introduced before such as the embroidered textile fragments excavated from the Seokam-li historic site in Pyongyang, the tomb of Baekje King Muryeong in Gongju, South Chungcheong Province, and the Mireuksa temple site in Iksan, North Jeolla Province.
Some of the items located overseas that reflect Korean embroidery culture are also introduced in this book.
All objects in the book are photographed by Seo Heun-kang. To enhance readers' understanding, the book contains over 550 high-quality images of the examined artifacts and 64 diagrams illustrating detailed techniques and structure of the pieces.
"We will continue to work hard to promote the outstanding techniques and beauty of Korean embroidery to the world through this new book '2,000 Years of Korean Embroidery,'" Sim said in a statement.
The new publication is Sim's third about Korean textiles. Previously, the professor published "5,000 Years of Korean Textiles" and "2,000 Years of Korean Textile Design" in 2002 and 2006, respectively.

Recently, we covered some exciting research being pursued by the University of Southampton relating to the use of 3D printing for the creation of uniquely shaped fiber optics. Though their technique will likely involve the selective laser sintering of pure glass powder, it has been brought to my attention by one 3DPI reader that Southampton's project is not the first to unite 3D printing and fiber optics. In fact, a team of researchers at the University of Sydney may have been the first to create fiber optics with 3D printing.
From the video below, you'll see that the process for creating optic fibers is a tedious, expensive, and time-intensive one. To create a single fiber, a long glass tube is heated to the point that silica and germanium particles are formed within, eventually forming a preform.

Battle of Yeosu
Part of Korean Conflict
Date 17 – 18 December 1998
Location off the coast of Yeosu, Jeollanam-do, South Korea
Result South Korean victory
 Republic of Korea Navy Korean People's Navy
12 warships,
3 bombers
1 semi-submersible
Casualties and losses
none 1 semi-submersible sunk
~4 dead
The Battle of Yeosu, in December 1998, was a naval skirmish that began when the Republic of Korea Navy intercepted a North Korean semi-submersible vessel attempting to land commandos on the southern South Korean coast.
Throughout 1998 there had been several incidents involving North Korean infiltrators attempting to land on along the South Korean coastline. In the June 1998 Sokcho submarine incident a North Korean submarine was found in South Korean waters off Sokcho entangled in fishing nets, the submarine was towed to a ROK Navy base and when opened the crew were all dead in an apparent murder-suicide. Another infiltration occurred in July when a dead commando and abandoned infiltration craft was discovered near the city of Donghae. [1]
On December 17, a ten ton North Korean I-SILC class semi-submersible infiltration vessel was observed by a South Korean guard post about 2km off the coast of Yeosu and ROK Navy ships were scrambled to intercept it. After several warnings were given, the ROK Navy fired warning shots at the semi-submersible. The North Korean craft ignored the warnings and opened fire on the South Korean vessels. It then attempted to escape, fleeing southwest while being tracked by patrol planes and boats, but several hours later it had sunk in 300 feet (91 m) of water approximately 100km south of Geojedo. [2][3]
The ROK Navy attempted to recover the bodies of the dead North Koreans and pieces of the infiltration craft. The body of one North Korean frogman was found. From the size and type of the vessel it was assumed that the entire crew consisted of four sailors and that all had perished. Searches were also conducted on nearby land to make sure that infiltrators had not landed on the coastline. When questioned, the North Korean government denied sending the vessel or knowing anything about its origins. This incident helped fuel increasing tensions between the two governments and an even larger naval skirmish was fought the next year.
The (North) Korean Central News Agency said on 19 December:
The South Korean puppets said that they located a "submarine" in the sea off Ryosu, South Jolla Province, at 11:15 p.m. on December 17 and had a battle in which the "submarine" was sunken and they brought a dead body clad in diving-suit to the land. They also said that they issued an order called "Jindogae nN.1" throughout the coastal areas of South Korea and have been put on the red alert. This time, too, the puppets described the "incident" as the "intrusion by the north," shifting the blame on to the north. This frantic anti-communist campaign is a continuation of the anti-communist, anti-north campaign such as the fiction of the "intrusion of the north's vessel" near the coast of the Kanghwa island on the West Sea of Korea and the description of a flock of birds as "something mysterious" in the sea off the Kanghwa island. The incidents have nothing to do with the north. Now the South Korean are trying hard to find a pretext for unleashing a war against the north in line with the U.S. imperialists' moves for war against the DPRK. It goes without saying that the "north's submarine infiltration incident" is a farce cooked up for that purpose. We can no longer remain a passive onlooker to the South Korean continuous anti-communist campaign and slander against the north. The campaign can convince no one. We will take resolute measures so that the provokers may drink a bitter cup. We seriously warn the South Korean not to act rashly.

Global Initiative for Food-related Scientific Advice (GIFSA)
What and Why?
For over 50 years WHO and FAO have been the international source of scientific advice on matters related to the safety of food. This advice provides the evidence base for a linkage between substances in food and disease, or the prevention of disease. This evidence base is necessary to define the best preventive measures to avoid foodborne disease and promote human health as it links to our daily food. It also enables both national and international solutions to these problems, a necessary pre-condition in the present period of increased international food trade. Therefore it is important that the FAO/WHO scientific advice provides the basis for food standards, guidelines and codes of practice developed by the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius Commission.
WHO and FAO devote significant resources to the provision of scientific advice in relation to food. However, there has been an increase in the demand for scientific advice. More and more links between food and disease have been discovered and recently also beneficial food constituents are now investigated and linked to the prevention of disease.
The FAO/WHO framework for scientific advice is based on a transparent and global selection of experts representing the best in food safety and nutrition science. Over recent years the scope of scientific advice has therefore been broadened to include zoonotic diseases, biotechnology and nutrition as well as new emerging priority issues.
As a result, FAO and WHO need to overcome a number of challenges in order to continue to support the technical consultations, workshops and related activities, which form the basis of FAO/WHO scientific advice. Over the past few years FAO and WHO have revised their advice framework to ensure the independence, quality, timeliness and sustainability of the provision of scientific advice. In order to specifically address the issue of sustainability of the provision of scientific advice, FAO and WHO are establishing a Global Initiative for Food-related Scientific Advice (GIFSA).
The specific objectives of the GIFSA are:
- To increase awareness of the FAO/WHO programme of work on the provision of scientific advice,
- To mobilize technical, financial and human resources to support the provision of scientific advice in food safety and nutrition,
- To promote the timeliness of the provision of scientific advice by WHO and FAO, while ensuring the continuation of the highest level of integrity and quality.
Characteristics of the Fund
The main focus of GIFSA is to establish a mechanism to facilitate the provision of extrabudgetary resources for scientific advice activities. Contributions are accepted from governments, organizations and foundations in accordance with WHO and FAO rules. Two separate accounts will be maintained, one at WHO and one at FAO. An FAO/WHO Committee manages the GIFSA, and procedures have been developed to ensure that all resources provided through GIFSA will be allocated to activities in an independent and transparent manner, taking into consideration the criteria for prioritization of activities already agreed by Codex, FAO and WHO and the specific needs of FAO and WHO Member countries.

Ultrafast dynamics of excess electrons in molten salts: Part II.† Femtosecond investigations of Na–NaBr and Na–NaI melts
Ultrafast dynamics of excess electrons in Na–NaBr and Na–NaI molten solutions at elevated temperatures (T = 953–1128 K) were investigated over an extended wavelength range. Modelling the time profiles resulted in two time constants τ1 = (200 ± 40) fs and τ2 = (2.8 ± 0.4) ps for both systems at 1073 K. All transients can be understood in terms of dynamical equilibria between polaron and Drude-type electrons as well as polaron and Drude-type electron forming bipolarons. In agreement with our earlier results for K–KCl melts the fast component is assigned to the relaxation of Drude-type electrons into polarons while the longer component, τ2, represents the time during which Drude-type electrons recombine with polarons leading to bipolarons. In addition, the temperature dependence was studied in Na–NaI: Decreasing the temperature to 953 K resulted in an increase of the time constants to τ1 = (360 ± 50) fs and τ2 = (4.3 ± 0.7) ps, respectively. At temperatures, where the ionic diffusion in Na–NaI melts becomes comparable to Na–NaBr melts, the time constants for the relaxation processes also coincide. The temperature-dependent investigations resulted in an Arrhenius activation energy of (25 ± 5) kJ mol−1 for Na–NaI melts in good agreement with literature data.

Spain is home to a beautiful pink lake among its hidden gems that not many people know about. I stumbled upon Torrevieja pink lake by chance when planning my Alicante itinerary, so I had to see it myself. Now, I am sharing the ultimate travel guide to Torrevieja Pink Lake to help you visit it.
WHY VISIT TORREVIEJA PINK LAKE?
Laguna Salada de Torrevieja or Laguna Rosa de Torrevieja is a salt lake located on the northwestern edge of the Costa Blanca region, near the small seaside town Torrevieja.
Apart from the pink lake, Torrevieja is home to a green lake nestled nearby the pink one. Together, these two lakes form Las Salinas de Torrevieja, or the Salty Lakes of Torrevieja, and are part of the Natural Park de las Lagunas de La Mata y Torrevieja. However, don't get too excited; unfortunately, the green one doesn't stand out as much as the pink one. It has a tint of green color, but not that eye-catching.
So why is water pink? The water got the bubblegum hue pink color from a natural process of bacteria and algae. The so-called salt bacterium, or Halobacterium, and micro-algae (Dunaliella Salina) flourish in salty water and similar places, giving the lake its strawberry milkshake color. Despite its unusual color, the water is lovely. It's very salty and can sometimes smell.
The town of Torrevieja depends on its salt lakes. Locals obtained the mineral from Las Salinas de Torrevieja for centuries. At the beginning of the 19th century, the town officially became a center for the country's salt industry.
Apart from increasing the city's economy, the Laguna Salada de Torrevieja also functions as a natural spa. The mud and salt residue at the bottom have healing characteristics and can help respiratory diseases and common skin problems.
CAN YOU SWIM IN TORREVIEJA SALK LAKES?
Swimming in Torrevieja salt lakes is prohibited, although people do swim despite signs. I have read various blogs and even watched videos where people go for a dip. This is because salt exploration and production are still running in Torrevieja pink lake. Moreover, as it's part of a Natural Park, it's essential to preserve the ecosystem of these lagoons and their unique flora and fauna.
That being said, public access to the salty lakes and the natural park is allowed, but remember to minimize your presence and interaction.
If caught by the environmental agents or civil guard, you might get fined a large sum, something around 6000 Euros. When I visited the Torrevieja pink lake, we dipped our toes and walked no more than a meter from the shore to take some photos and left the premises. Even though it was very appealing to take a relaxing swim in the Torrevieja salt lakes, my friends and I didn't want to risk being caught and care about the environment.
TORREVIEJA PINK LAKE: ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
Suppose you want to learn more about the Las Salinas de Torrevieja. In that case, you can pay a visit to the Visitor Center, Centro de interpretación Parque Natural la Mata Torrevieja, to learn more about salt production.
The center is open from Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 2 pm; on weekends and public holidays from 9 am to 1 pm. It is closed on the following dates: January 1 and 6, December 24, 25, and 31.
Alternatively, you can visit the Sea and Salt Museum or Museo del Mar y de la Sal, located in Torrevieja. Opened in 1995, the museum gives a glimpse of the areas' salt production and the complex relationship of town with sea and salt. It showcases Torrevieja's traditions and customs from an early stage when it still was a small fisherman's village.
The museum displays old photographs, gorgeous buildings and ships made from salt, and an old salt port model. The Sea and Salt Museum is an exciting place to explore if you like unique venues. As the museum is relatively small, you won't need more than 30-40 minutes to see it all. Plus, it's FREE to enter.
Apparently, flamingos also frequent the Torrevieja pink lake to feast on algae-filled shrimp that live in the lake. Even though I would have loved to see the flamingos matching the lake's color, the best time to do so is their breeding season, i.e., March, April, and May. Around 2000 flamingos fly here to feed and rest.
If you decide to tip-toe in the pink salt lake, bring an extra bottle of water to wash off the salt from your feet. Once the water dries on your skin, you'll have a sandy-looking residue from the salty left.
HOW TO GET TO SALT LAKES TORREVIEJA
Visiting salt lakes Torrevieja is possible by renting a car and using public transportation. The best and the most convenient way would be to rent a car and see it as a day trip from Alicante.
If you decide to take public transport, you'll need to walk a fair amount of kilometers to get to the lakes' entrance. Frequent busses run from Alicante to Torrevieja or from other nearby towns.
Alicante Torrevieja bus departs from Alicante bus station and arrives in Torrevieja station every day starting from 6:45 am to 10:15 pm. The journey takes around one hour, and the ticket costs 4,65 Euros one way.
Buses from Torrevieja to Alicante also run daily from 6:45 am to 9 pm.
When visiting Torrevieja pink lake, consider that the territory is fenced, but there are a couple of openings to enter and get closer to the lagoon. These openings can be near or far from each other.
The entrance Google Maps showed had bushes preventing us from getting closer. So we drove to Calle Munera and Via Verde de Torrevieja. We walked on a dirt road for a few meters to get to the water to dip our toes inside.
The shore here was not as sandy-like as I have seen in the pictures, but it was pretty enough to take a couple of pictures.
Find other possible entrances from Calle Venus by walking down about 50 meters to the water or from Calle Sol. I believe these are the most common areas to get to salt lakes in Torrevieja, so we drove a bit further to be on the safe side.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM TORREVIEJA PINK LAKE
The lake is indeed pink, but you only notice its strawberry milkshake color once you get very close to the lagoon. It's not very vibrant pink, as shown in the pictures. Full disclosure, I have increased pink hues for a bit in my photos. Or maybe it didn't look vibrant when we visited it even though it was a sunny day with a clear blue sky.
I have also read that the pink watercolor turns somewhat brownish during the wind and cloudy days. I can only imagine how stunning the pink lake would be during the sunset, reflecting the pastel-color sky in the lagoon.
