Completing your kitchen outfit? See what pots you will need for preparing everyday meals.
It's hard to imagine cooking without pots. Here are 4 types of pots that are essential for every kitchen.
1. Traditional pot for everyday dishes
Traditional pots with handles and a lid in various sizes are useful for cooking potatoes, pasta, rice or so-called one-pot dishes like stew or bigos. A set of such pots is essential equipment for every kitchen where fresh dishes are prepared on a regular basis.
2. Saucepan for cooking
A saucepan, or a pot with one long handle, is useful for making sauces, roux, heating milk, or melting butter. It is the second essential pot in our kitchen.
3. Pressure cooker
Thanks to its special, tightly closing lid you can cook in a much shorter time such dishes as bigos, stew, stuffed cabbage or beans in different ways
Steamed food does not lose its nutritional properties, retains its color and firmness. You can steam not only traditional pancakes and vegetables, but also meat and fish. In pots that have several levels with strainers you can cook several different foods at the same time.

Large diameter straight seam steel pipe can be used as sand pumping steel pipe
Date:2019-03-01 View:672 Tag:Large diameter straight seam steel pipe can be used as sand pumping steel pipe
Large diameter steel pipe can be used for straight seam pumping sand used, taking widely used in sand mining machinery, dredging, salt extraction, Chati iron, steel can be called pumping sand , sand pumping pipeline , pumping sand with steel.
Straight-welded pipes are generally stronger than spiral steel pipes. They can produce welded pipes with larger diameters with narrower blanks. They can also produce welded pipes with different pipe diameters with blanks of the same width, but compared with straight-slit pipes of the same length. The weld length is increased by 30 to 100% and the production speed is low.
Therefore, most of the smaller diameter welded pipes are straight seam welded, and the large diameter welded pipes are mostly spiral welded. Straight seam steel pipe can be used for sand pumping steel, which can reduce production cost and increase work efficiency. Straight seam steel pipe is used as sand pumping pipe in beaches, rivers, shoals and silt. Illegal sand pumping is prohibited.

How to Eat French Food Like a French Person
In France, gourmet food is called gastronomique. And there's a lot of it. (How French people stay skinny with all this rich food and sans exercise is another question for another story.) But this is the question Yahoo Travel set out to answer: How do you eat French food like a French person? Hint: You've been doing it all wrong. Here's the scoop from French insiders.
There's an art to eating croissants.

The first meal of the day is sweet, generally including an espresso, some juice, and (score!) a chocolate croissant or pain au chocolat. Kerry Saretsky of French Revolution says though in America croissants are used for sandwiches, she's never seen it done in France. Here's how to eat them the French way;
1. Enjoy them sitting down — croissants are not meant to be eaten in motion.
2. Use your hands to pull apart the croissant instead of biting off chunks. Begin at one end, then move to the other so you're eating from the outside until you reach center. Once at the center, fold the larger pieces in half so you create even more flaky layers. Or, if you prefer, tear the pastry in half first and eat from the inside out. Either way: tear, eat and repeat.
3. You can keep your croissant au naturel or paint on jam, honey, or butter, using a knife to smear each bite as you go. Tear, smear, eat — repeat.
4. Share your crumbs with the sparrows.

Dip your baguette and butter.
How crispy is your baguette? Benjamin Setiawan of Hungry Editor says beware of the bread rules:
1. Dip your baguette into your coffee, especially in the morning.
2. Use your day-old baguettes to make… French toast.
3. Rip it; don't slice your bread unless it's lengthwise for a sandwich.
4. For a treat, slather your bread with Nutella for for a late afternoon snack with le gouter (afternoon tea).
Pro tip: Follow the crowd to a good, legitimate boulangeries. The best ones have long lines out the door.
Pair your crepes.

French-born Christophe Caron of Delice & Sarrasin, a family-owned creperie, says crepes have been conceptualized as a fast-food import in America. But the French way is to have a savory crepe (a.k.a., a gaullet) followed by a sweet crepe. And they're not supposed to be unhealthy — the batter shouldn't be made with sugar and the crepe should be filled with ingredients that have fiber and protein. Here's what else to know:
1. You can find crepes to go in Paris, but it's just for the tourists. The French enjoy their crepes sitting down, using a fork and knife.
2. Pair both your sweet and savory crepes with a fresh, dry, mildly alcoholic cider.
3. Don't fold your crepes like a slice of pizza or roll them like a burrito.
Know your dairy.
Cheese is everywhere in France. Frenchman Dylan Glynn says it's a daily staple for locals. Melted cheese counts as a meal, while a plate of cheese can also be dessert. Here's a primer on French dairy:
1. Eat your fromage in small, bite-size pieces.
2. Cook with creme fraiche, which is similar to sour cream.
3. Spread fromage frais and fromage blanc on bread or crackers; they are creamy, soft cheeses.
4. Yaourt (yogurt) is also a fave. Eat it with a spoon.
Hit the market for a picnic.

Picnicking in Paris can be amazing. Try sitting along Canal St. Martin with the hipsters or in the green grass below the Eiffel Tower with the fashion bloggers. According to Marjorie R. Williams, author of Markets of Paris:
1. Rotisserie chicken, olives, and wine are French picnic staples you can get at the markets.
2. Don't touch the produce on the stands — unless a basket is provided, let the vendor pick it for you.
3. Don't forget a corkscrew if you want to drink wine at your picnic. (You can also buy them at the markets.)
4. Buy your cheese last and pack it with some ice for freshness.
5. Some public parks don't allow grass seating. Look out for signs.
Dinner has rules.

Tom Meyers of Eurocheapo explains "eating is a cherished, revered part of the day and if someone has prepared dinner for you, eat it… all." Here's how to tackle dinner:
1. As we mentioned, finish everything on your plate.
2. Under no circumstances should you complain about foods you don't like. Expressing a distaste for a particular food or even an allergy is seen as a weakness.
3. Diner will be eaten late (around 8 p.m.) and will have multiple courses. So don't snack and save your appetite. Luckily, the portion sizes will be smaller than we get in America.
Savor some cognac.
For 300 years, Martell's cognac has been fermented with fine grains and aged in old barrels. (Photos: Ko Im)
Cognac is a special brandy dating back to the Age of Enlightenment, and it currently serves as the drink of choice for the older, elite French crowd. According to the Martell Cognac's cellar master Benoit Fil, the barrel to bottle concoction can sipped on its own or taken in cocktail form (e.g., an Old Fashioned). Actress Diane Kruger serves it at special dinner parties. Wealthy Chinese are known to throw back shots. Fil provides these tips:
1. Do: Smell it like you would a fine wine. Sip it to smoothly coat and warm the throat.
2. Don't: Hold the glass itself, as that will warm the alcohol unnecessarily; instead take it by the stem.

- god (n.)
- Old English god "supreme being, deity; the Christian God; image of a god; godlike person," from Proto-Germanic *guthan (cf. Old Saxon, Old Frisian, Dutch god, Old High German got, German Gott, Old Norse guð, Gothic guþ), from PIE *ghut- "that which is invoked" (cf. Old Church Slavonic zovo "to call," Sanskrit huta- "invoked," an epithet of Indra), from root *gheu(e)- "to call, invoke."
But some trace it to PIE *ghu-to- "poured," from root *gheu- "to pour, pour a libation" (source of Greek khein "to pour," also in the phrase khute gaia "poured earth," referring to a burial mound; see found (v.2)). "Given the Greek facts, the Germanic form may have referred in the first instance to the spirit immanent in a burial mound" [Watkins]. Cf. also Zeus.
Not related to good. Originally a neuter noun in Germanic, the gender shifted to masculine after the coming of Christianity. Old English god probably was closer in sense to Latin numen. A better word to translate deus might have been Proto-Germanic *ansuz, but this was used only of the highest deities in the Germanic religion, and not of foreign gods, and it was never used of the Christian God. It survives in English mainly in the personal names beginning in Os-.
I want my lawyer, my tailor, my servants, even my wife to believe in God, because it means that I shall be cheated and robbed and cuckolded less often.... If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. [Voltaire]
God bless you after someone sneezes is credited to St. Gregory the Great, but the pagan Romans (Absit omen) and Greeks had similar customs.

A 1975 report identified the areas of geology and anthropology as being the two most likely to develop collections in Australian Universities. Since then Australia has seen a relative decline of the traditional resource-based economy and a lessening demand for geology graduates. Over the last decade, but particularly since 1996, the restructuring of the tertiary education sector has mean that university based collections in areas that do not attract a significant student load, such as geology, are in danger because of a lack of adequate resources for their effective management. Staff levels are an indicator of resources available for management of collections. The 1998 Transforming Cinderella Collections report showed some eight staff Australia-wide responsible for just over 1 million specimens. A mere four years from that time and these staff numbers are now much reduced. Many large collections have no staff and are essentially inaccessible. Whilst the large number specimens required for undergraduate teaching do not require advanced information management systems, those that result from basic research do. Without adequate management systems and strategies, the knowledge base of the earth sciences in Australia is at risk.

Industrial Designs Law in Australia is a small but increasingly relevant area of law covering the protection of visual aspects of a product.
Unlike Patent Law, which predominantly protects innovations of a functional form, designs law protects the overall appearance of a product, particularly visual features.
If you design goods to me manufactured industrially, speak to an IP Specialist at Clarifis IP today to ensure your designs are protected.
Why should I register a design? Aren't products protected by Patent or Copyright Law?
Despite misconceptions, Copyright Law only protects industrial design rights holder from copyright infringement in a limited fashion. For a product, which is not applied industrially (ie. less than 50 articles) copyright protection may subsist in the design to the extent that the design is an artistic work. Nonetheless, Designs Law grants a monopoly over the use of the design in Australia and superior protection against infringement.
Patent Law on the other hand addresses innovations in relation to functions. This may well be applicable to the product which you have designed or developed however in some cases, several different aspects of Intellectual Property Protection need to be considered.
How is a design registered in Australia?
Under the Designs Act 2003 (Cth) a person (including a company) may make an application to register a design. There are two steps in the registration process:
- Registration-Only: Provides inclusion on the 'prior art base' of your new design.
- Certification: An examination is undertaken by the register to certify that the design meets the requirement for registration and accordingly, infringement actions may be undertaken by the registrant or in some cases, licensee.
What is the prior art base?
The prior art base in relation to designs, similarly to patents, is a database of industrial designs which have been registered or certified. The significance of the prior art base is that any future designs must be considered new or distinctive when compared to existing designs on the prior art base.
What requirements must I meet to register my design?
In order to register your design, you must have developed a design which is new and distinctive when compared with the prior art base.

Adolescents and the native-immigrant mental health gap in Spain. The same story as in the U.S.?
Yumiko Aratani, Columbia University
Hector Cebolla, Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED)
Amparo Gonzalez-Ferrer, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC)
Mariña Fernandez Reino, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
This paper explores and explains migrant-native differentials in psychological health of adolescents in Spain. As a recent immigration country, research on integration outcomes in Spain is attracting growing attention. Spain was the second largest destination of international migration only after the US from 2000 to 2007, and the impact that the Great Recession is being particularly strong among migrant families and other disadvantaged groups. Our paper is inspired by a growing body of research from United States showing that Latin American origin adolescents tend to show highest risks for mental health even after controlling for age, gender and socioeconomic status. Despite of the growing size of this population in Spain, research on their mental health and psychological wellbeing remains very limited due to a serious dearth of adequate data. We take advantage of a recently released dataset, the Chances (2011) survey, which sampled students enrolled in the 3rd and 4th grades of secondary education in the municipality of Madrid (n=2,734). The survey oversampled adolescents of immigrant origin, which allows for separated analyses of this population. In addition, it contains very rich information on the life of adolescents, including indicators of mental health and psychological wellbeing, quality of the relationship within the family, relationships with friends and schoolmates, etc. A parallel survey was taken with the parents of half of the adolescents sample (n=1,239), which includes additional information about family characteristics and intergenerational relationships. Finally, the data also permit to examine the impact of contextual factors such as schools and neighbourhoods. Our findings suggest worse mental health outcomes of children of migrant families compared to native families in Spain. Using several indicators of mental health outcomes (e.g. difficulties to concentrate, sleep, self-esteem), the paper examines the effect of parent characteristics, family conflict, and school and neighbourhood context on adolescent mental health.

Saturday, August 13, 2011
ScienceDaily (Aug. 11, 2011) — Constant bitterness can make a person ill, according to Concordia University researchers who have examined the relationship between failure, bitterness and quality of life.
"Persistent bitterness may result in global feelings of anger and hostility that, when strong enough, could affect a person's physical health," says Carsten Wrosch, a professor in the Concordia University Department of Psychology and a member of the Centre for Research in Human Development.
Unlike regret, which is about self-blame and a case of "woulda, coulda, shoulda," acrimony points the finger elsewhere -- laying the blame for failure on external causes. "When harboured for a long time," says Wrosch, "bitterness may forecast patterns of biological dysregulation (a physiological impairment that can affect metabolism, immune response or organ function) and physical disease."
The jury is still out on this proposal. Wrosch and Renaud say bitterness can be avoided, if people who experience failure can find other ways to fulfil their goals. If they can't, the researchers stress, it's essential to disengage from the fruitless effort (e.g., to get promoted, to save a marriage) and reengage in something that's equally meaningful (e.g., a new job or passion).
Called self-regulation processes, disengaging and reengaging can be necessary for a person to avoid bitter emotions. "Any effective therapeutic intervention," says Renaud, "hinges on the affected individual finding ways to self-regulate."
In some cases, overcoming bitterness demands more than self-regulation. When bitterness arises from blaming other people, then recovery may involve others. "In order to deal with bitter emotions there may need to be something else required to enable a person to overcome the negative emotion -- that something is forgiveness," says Wrosch.


This week's word: REBARBATIVE
Not one of the nice words, rebarbative means unattractive, objectionable, annoying, repellant. It comes to us directly from the French rebarbatif, meaning literally to "face each other, beard to beard." That derives in turn from barbe, "beard," all going back to the Latin barba. We get barb and barber from the same source.
To understand how facing each other, beard to beard, came to signify something repellant, think of the related verb, to beard, to confront someone boldly or challenge. Beard and rebarbative are literally in-your-face words, with the disagreeableness inherent in such a situation.
Example: Though they had once been friendly, Edmund Wilson and Vladimir Nabokov fell out over Wilson's review of Nabokov's translation of Puskhin and thereafter exchanged rebarbative remarks in the pages of the New York Review of Books.
From last week: Tim contributed a memorable comment on last week's word, nonage: "What comes between nonage and dotage? Midage?"

message like this, try changing the words in your grammars/key phrases by splitting up the words or using to similar words, e.g. changing "natlink" to "nat link".
I hope to eventually have words and phoneme strings dynamically added to the current dictionary and language model using the Pocket Sphinx ps_add_word function (from Python of course).
Spoken Language Support¶
There are a only handful of languages with models and dictionaries available from source forge, although it is possible to build your own language model using lmtool or pronunciation dictionary using lextool. There is also a CMU Sphinx tutorial on building language models.
If the language you want to use requires non-ascii characters (e.g. a Cyrillic language), you will need to use Python version 3.4 or higher because of Unicode issues.
Dragonfly Lists and DictLists¶
DictLists function as normal, private
rules for the Pocket Sphinx engine. On updating a dragonfly list or
dictionary, the grammar they are part of will be reloaded. This is because
there is unfortunately no JSGF equivalent for lists.
This isn't a limitation of CMU Pocket Sphinx; text-to-speech is not a project goal for them, although as the natlink and WSR engines both support text-to-speech, there might as well be some suggestions if this functionality is desired, perhaps utilised by a custom dragonfly action.

Eagle Creek Dry Storage Basin
The Eagle Creek Flood Basin is a flood-risk reduction project designed to have storage capacity for excess flows from the 1% Annual Chance Exceedance (ACE) (100-year) storm event on Eagle Creek and to safely pass flood events of greater magnitude. The basin will remain dry during normal flows (up to approximately 650 cubic feet per second along Eagle Creek) and will begin to store flood waters during larger rain events. The purpose of the project is to reduce the peak flow rate in Eagle Creek and the Blanchard River during these large storm events, thereby reducing the downstream water surface elevations and associated flood risk. The primary project goals include the following:
A secondary project goal is to improve water quality by creating wetlands, native habitats, and riparian corridors within the inundation area. A tertiary goal is to provide passive recreation opportunities on the project site.
The project site is located in Eagle Township in Hancock County, Ohio, approximately four miles south of the City of Findlay downtown area.
The primary flood risk reduction element for the project is an earthen embankment dam forming an in-line, dry-storage basin. Other primary components consist of a principal spillway, an auxiliary spillway, exterior drainage features, and interior drainage improvements and land use design. The dam alignment and proposed dry basin footprint is bound by Township Road 76 to the west and US-68to the east. To the north, the basin is formed by an embankment parallel to and approximately 4,000 feet to the north of Township Road 49. The impoundment is bound by high ground to the south, approximately 1,750 feet north of County Road 45. The impoundment area of the basin within the dam alignment will be approximately 765 acres.
The Eagle Creek Flood Basin project is being funded by Grants through Ohio State Capital Budget. Grants of $60 million have been received to date. The estimated annual maintenance cost is approximately $100,000 to $150,000.
To date, the project has progressed through Final Design. Property acquisition is ongoing, and stakeholders are in the process of obtaining necessary easements and permits before moving to the construction phase. The project will require a construction permit through the ODNR Division of Water Resources Dam Safety Program. Construction is expected to begin in early 2024 and the construction duration is estimated to be approximately 18 to 24 months.
Model results show that the Eagle Creek Flood Basin project results in a peak flow reduction of about 2,550 cfs (16% decrease) on the Blanchard River during the 1% ACE event which translates to about 2.2 feet of lowering of the base flood elevations near the confluence with Eagle Creek.
The reduction in water surface elevations along Eagle Creek and the Blanchard River is estimated to remove approximately 1,830 parcels and 1,400 acres from the regulatory floodplain.

After - chart function
After() returns the value of an expression evaluated with a pivot table's dimension values as they appear in the column after the current column within a row segment in the pivot table.
Syntax:
after([TOTAL] expr [, offset [, count ]])

Information note This function returns NULL in all chart types except pivot tables.
Arguments:
Argument Description
expr The expression or field containing the data to be measured.
offset
Specifying an offset n, greater than 1 moves the evaluation of the expression n rows further to the right from the current row.
Specifying an offset of 0 will evaluate the expression on the current row.
Specifying a negative offset number makes the After function work like the Before function with the corresponding positive offset number.
count
By specifying a third parameter count greater than 1, the function will return a range of values, one for each of the table rows up to the value of count, counting to the right from the original cell.
TOTAL
If the table is one-dimensional or if the qualifier TOTAL is used as argument, the current column segment is always equal to the entire column.
Defining the aggregation scope
On the last column of a row segment a NULL value will be returned, as there is no column after this one.
If the pivot table has multiple horizontal dimensions, the current row segment will include only columns with the same values as the current column in all dimension rows except for the row showing the last horizontal dimension of the inter-field sort order. The inter-field sort order for horizontal dimensions in pivot tables is defined simply by the order of the dimensions from top to bottom.
Example:
after( sum( Sales ))

Comparing NFPA 96 and the California Mechanical Code
By January 15, 2023January 17th, 2023No Comments
The California Mechanical Code, Chapter 5, Exhaust Systems and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 96 Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations are both important codes for ensuring the safety and proper operation of exhaust systems in commercial kitchens. While the codes have some similarities, there are also some key differences between them.
Fire Safety
One of the main similarities between the two codes is the focus on fire safety. Both codes include provisions for the use of fire suppression systems in commercial kitchens to minimize the risk of fire and protect against potential damage. However, while the California Mechanical Code, Chapter 5, requires exhaust systems to be designed and installed in accordance with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standard 62.1, NFPA 96 focuses specifically on the design, installation and maintenance of commercial kitchen exhaust systems. This means that the NFPA 96 standard goes into more detail on the specific requirements for exhaust systems in commercial kitchens, including the construction and placement of exhaust hoods, ducts, and fans, as well as provisions for cleaning and inspection.
Another difference between the two codes is that while the California Mechanical Code, Chapter 5, includes general requirements for exhaust systems, NFPA 96 is specific to commercial kitchens. This means that the NFPA 96 standard includes provisions that are not found in the California Mechanical Code, Chapter 5, such as requirements for the cleaning and inspection of exhaust systems and guidelines for the use of fire suppression systems in commercial kitchens.
Cleaning
In terms of maintenance, both codes require regular cleaning and inspection of exhaust systems to ensure that they are free of obstructions and that the fans and other components are in good working order. However, the California Mechanical Code, Chapter 5, does not specify a frequency for these inspections, while the NFPA 96 Standard requires commercial kitchen exhaust systems to be inspected at least annually and cleaned at least every three months.

Overall, while the California Mechanical Code, Chapter 5, and the NFPA 96 Standard both focus on ensuring the safety and proper operation of exhaust systems, the latter is more specific to commercial kitchens and goes into more detail on the requirements for exhaust systems in these types of buildings. Building owners and operators should be familiar with both codes and ensure that they are in compliance with both codes to minimize the risk of fire and protect against potential damage.

You can use 'to do' in almost every English sentence to emphasize the main verb in a sentence. The meaning of the main verb gets stronger or shows contrast by using 'to do'. This grammatical structure is called the emphatic do in English. For a full overview of what this is and how to form it, click here.
Emphatic Do Exercise 3
You can find the exercise below:
Complete the following sentences by using the emphatic do and the verb in brackets.
1.I (to like – present) beer.
2.We (to have – present) a dog.
3.She (to watch – present) TV sometimes.
4.They (to like – present) rice pudding.
5.I (to eat – past) a large pizza all by myself.
6.It (to escape – past) from its cage.
7.He (to use – present) his airpods a lot.
8.Yes, I (to break – past) my arm.
9.They (to listen – present) to the radio.

To use this functionality you require a developer license
Barcodes in Visual Basic, C# & J# projects
How to add a barcode to a Visual Studio project
You can use the ActiveBarcode control in Visual Studio like you do with any other control, e.g. a button.
First you have to add the ActiveBarcode control into the development
1. Adding ActiveBarcode to the development environmentGo to the menu "Tools" and select the function "Choose Toolbox items":
A dialog appears. As ActiveBarcode is a COM component first select the tab "COM Components". A list of the available controls will be displayed. Select "ActiveBarcode" and activate it.
Then click OK.
Now ActiveBarcode is added to your development environment.
2. Use ActiveBarcode in your project
Create a new project. Be aware that you select a project type that supports ActiveX controls:
To add the ActiveBarcode Control to a form you select the function "Toolbox" from the "View" menu first. This opens the toolbox. "Toolbox". Have a look or search for the ActiveBarcode Control in the toolbox now.
Click on ActiveBarcode there and move it the form you want to place the control. The control will then be placed on this form.
You can change the barcode properties of the barcode control now or later. In this example we change the background color to white:
Now add a "Textbox" to this form, too.
Double click this textbox now to open the source code for the event "Textchange". We will use this event to change the barcodes content every time the textbox changes.
This code example is for Visual Basic. With Visual C# you use the following code for the assignment og the text property:
axBarcode1.Text = textBox1.Text;That's it. Now launch this example application:
If you change the content of the textbox in the running application, the barcode will encode
Optional: Non visual usage of ActiveBarcodeYou also can create ActiveBarcode at run time and use the the control:
In the following example ActiveBarcode is created invisible, then a Code 128 with the encoded content "Example" is generated and saved as image file by using the SaveAsBySize function.
Dim MyObject As ObjectVisual C#:
MyObject = CreateObject("ACTIVEBARCODE.BarcodeCtrl.1")
MyObject.text = "Example"
MyObject.typename = "Code 128"
MyObject.SaveAsBySize("example.bmp", 400, 100)
BARCODELib.Barcode ab = new ACTIVEBARCODELib.Barcode();
ab.Text = "123456789012";
ab.TypeName = "EAN 13";
ab.SaveAsBySize("example.bmp", 400, 150);

One of the most useful colors in an artist's palette is one of the last colors anyone else would think. Only its spooky name would incline your attention towards it. Caput mortuum, which means dead head or death head, is made of haematite–iron oxide (in fact there are several extremely similar colors made of the same pigment but with slightly different hues and names–particularly mars violet and Indian red—but we will stick to talking about caput mortuum because that's the variation I use). This unpromising rust color possesses a protean mutability–it could be red, brown, orange, or violet depending on the context. Although it can stand on its own as a focus of attention, caput mortuum is very easy to paint into a network of subtle shadows: many painters use it for shadowed flesh or as land cast in darkness (after all a person's flesh and the red clay of a landscape both take their ruddiness from iron).
Though not a flashy color, caput mortuum has a dignity and a beauty to it. In the middle ages and Renaissance, painters used it to paint the robes and clothing of eminent monastic religious figures and of patrons & donors (ie the people actually paying for the painting). Oftentimes when looking at a religious painting, a viewer will notice that Jesus, Mary, and Saint Peter–resplendent in gold, white, blue, and red—are joined by an unknown pair of merchants wearing caput mortuum. These two often have the most realistic and beautifully painted faces in the painting–it is difficult to say what Jesus really looked like but even the most money grubbing burgher knows his own face!
Although there is something somber about the deep color of caput mortuum, its name does not come from an obvious association with blood and corpses. In addition to meaning "dead head" the Latin phrase also means "worthless remains" and it was used by alchemists to describe the inert residue left over from a chemical reaction. Apparently this by-product was often a rusty violet color. Alchemists used a (very) stylized skull to denote the oxidized left-overs.
However it's more evocative to imagine the pigment being named after a death's head. The concept lends art a much needed touch of operatic dark magic.


In my previous post, I looked at the basics of using the ChemFig package to create chemical structures. I finished that post with a structure that is complete but which I think does not look great compared with the reference version I created in ChemDraw. (There's a MyChemistry entry that looks at similar customisation: worth a look!)
Atom placement
The first issue to tackle is the placement of atom labels. ChemFig 'detects' atoms, so that the labels are correctly centred relative to bonds. However, that does not work with numbered R-groups, as the numbers need to be 'ignored' for alignment purposes. This is a pretty common requirement, so ChemFig provides a way to 'split' labels, using |:
\chemfig{
 *6(-(-R|^2)=-
 (-=[::-60]N-*6(=(-R|^3)-=(-R|^4)-=(-R|^3)-))
 =(-OH)-(-R|^1)=)
}
which gives the output
To see the difference here, look at for example R2 here compared to the version in the previous post: it's subtle, but it is there!
Atom spacing and bond width
The standard settings for ChemFig share a 'feature' with those for ChemDraw: they don't look very good! As I said in the previous post, I use the Royal Society of Chemistry's template for my structures, as I think they look much better. The template uses 7 pt text, and so the lengths, etc. all match that size. For use in LaTeX, I want things to be more flexible so wanted to convert the values into em (i.e. relative dimensions based on font size).
There are three key dimensions used by both ChemDraw and ChemFig to set how bonds look: the bond length, the line width and the gap between lines when drawing double bonds. There is also a 'margin' used between atom labels and bonds, so the two don't touch. After a bit of work doing the calculation (using to the LaTeX3 FPU), I found that
\setdoublesep{0.35700 em} % 'Bond Spacing'
\setatomsep{1.78500 em} % 'Fixed Length'
\setbondoffset{0.18265 em} % 'Margin Width'
\newcommand{\bondwidth}{0.06642 em} % 'Line Width'
\setbondstyle{line width = \bondwidth}
was the right set up. The comments are the ChemDraw names for settings, and I've set the line width as a command as it turns out I'll want it again for some more advanced things to be covered in the next post.
The central double bond
Changing the bond spacing shows up another issue: the central double bond is not right. Rather than bond to the 'middle' of the double bond, we want the chain to choose one 'side'. That can be done using either _ or ^, depending on which side is required. I decided to match the ChemDraw version using
\chemfig{
 *6(-(-R|^2)=-
 (-=^[::-60]N-*6(=(-R|^3)-=(-R|^4)-=(-R|^3)-))
 =(-OH)-(-R|^1)=)
}
Atom font
The final thing to adjust to get this example right is the font used for atom labels: the convention is to use sanserif. ChemFig prints text using the \printatom command, which is set up to ensure math mode and \mathrm. Thus the simplest approach is
\renewcommand*{\printatom}[1]{\ensuremath{\mathsf{#1}}
Like many people, I use the excellent mhchem to write in-line chemical equations, so I wanted to use the \ce (or faster \cf) command for printing atoms. My initial attempt failed, with an internal error. A quick e-mail to the ChemFig author led to a fix
\makeatletter
\def\CF@node@content{%
 \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
 \printatom\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
 {\csname atom@\number\CF@cnt@atomnumber\endcsname}%
 \ensuremath{\CF@node@strut}%
}
\makeatother
followed by
 \renewcommand*{\printatom}[1]}
leads to the final input
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{chemfig}
\usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
\makeatletter
\def\CF@node@content{%
 \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
 \printatom\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter
 {\csname atom@\number\CF@cnt@atomnumber\endcsname}%
 \ensuremath{\CF@node@strut}%
}
\makeatother
\setdoublesep{0.35700 em} % 'Bond Spacing'
\setatomsep{1.78500 em} % 'Fixed Length'
\setbondoffset{0.18265 em} % 'Margin Width'
\newcommand{\bondwidth}{0.06642 em} % 'Line Width'
\setbondstyle{line width = \bondwidth}
\renewcommand*{\printatom}[1]{{\sffamily\cf{#1}}}
\begin{document}
\chemfig{
 *6(-(-R|^2)=-
 (-=^[::-60]N-*6(=(-R|^3)-=(-R|^4)-=(-R|^3)-))
 =(-OH)-(-R|^1)=)
}
\end{document}
and output
I'd say that is pretty good: I'd be happy to use this in a publication (although drawing the kind of structures I do my research with would be a challenge!).
In the final part of this series, I'm going to look at some other things that are needed for chemical structures but which don't show up in the demo I've used. We'll see that many can be done, but there will be one or two outstanding challenges.


Dead Money
DEFINITION of 'Dead Money'
A slang term for money invested in a security with minor hopes of appreciation or earning a return. The stock may also be referred as dead money by analysts, as a warning to investors who might purchase the shares.
Funds that are not earning interest or income are known as dead money. Some investors will hold a stock despite recent price drops, hoping that it will turn around and earn back some of the lost value. However, if the investment is dead money, the likelihood of a turnaround is low, and investors should consider selling the shares before incurring additional losses.

Godot facilita a criação de recursos personalizados no Inspetor.
 1. Crie um objeto de recurso simples no Inspetor. Isso pode até ser um tipo que deriva Resource, desde que seu script esteja estendendo esse tipo.
 2. Defina a propriedade '' script'' no Inspector como seu script.
O inspetor agora exibirá as propriedades personalizadas do script de recursos. Se você editar esses valores e salvar o recurso, o inspetor serializará as propriedades personalizadas também! Para salvar um recurso do Inspetor, clique no menu de ferramentas do Inspetor (canto superior direito) e selecione "Salvar" ou "Salvar como …".
If the script's language supports script classes, then it streamlines the process. Defining a name for your script alone will add it to the Inspector's creation dialog. This will auto-add your script to the Resource object you create.
Let's see some examples.
# bot_stats.gd
extends Resource
export(int) var health
export(Resource) var sub_resource
export(Array, String) var strings
func _init(p_health = 0, p_sub_resource = null, p_strings = []):
 health = p_health
 sub_resource = p_sub_resource
 strings = p_strings
# bot.gd
extends KinematicBody
export(Resource) var stats
func _ready():
 # Uses an implicit, duck-typed interface for any 'health'-compatible resources.
 if stats:
 print(stats.health) # Prints '10'.
// BotStats.cs
using System;
using Godot;
namespace ExampleProject {
 public class BotStats : Resource
 {
 [Export]
 public int Health { get; set; }
 [Export]
 public Resource SubResource { get; set; }
 [Export]
 public String[] Strings { get; set; }
 public BotStats(int health = 0, Resource subResource = null, String[] strings = null)
 {
 Health = health;
 SubResource = subResource;
 Strings = strings ?? new String[0];
 }
 }
}
// Bot.cs
using System;
using Godot;
namespace ExampleProject {
 public class Bot : KinematicBody
 {
 [Export]
 public Resource Stats;
 public override void _Ready()
 {
 if (Stats != null && Stats is BotStats botStats) {
 GD.Print(botStats.Health); // Prints '10'.
 }
 }
 }
}
Nota
Scripts de recursos são semelhantes aos ScriptableObjects da Unity. O Inspector fornece suporte interno para recursos personalizados. Se desejado, os usuários podem até criar seus próprios scripts de ferramentas baseados em Control e combiná-los com um: ref: EditorPlugin <class_EditorPlugin> para criar visualizações e editores personalizados para seus dados.
O DataTables e o CurveTables do Unreal Engine 4 também são fáceis de recriar com scripts de recursos. DataTables são uma String mapeada para uma estrutura personalizada, semelhante a um dicionário que mapeia uma String para um script de recurso personalizado secundário.
# bot_stats_table.gd
extends Resource
const BotStats = preload("bot_stats.gd")
var data = {
 "GodotBot": BotStats.new(10), # Creates instance with 10 health.
 "DifferentBot": BotStats.new(20) # A different one with 20 health.
}
func _init():
 print(data)
using System;
using Godot;
public class BotStatsTable : Resource
{
 private Godot.Dictionary<String, BotStats> _stats = new Godot.Dictionary<String, BotStats>();
 public BotStatsTable()
 {
 _stats["GodotBot"] = new BotStats(10); // Creates instance with 10 health.
 _stats["DifferentBot"] = new BotStats(20); // A different one with 20 health.
 GD.Print(_stats);
 }
}
Em vez de apenas inlining os valores do dicionário, um poderia também, alternativamente …
 1. Importe uma tabela de valores de uma planilha e gere esses pares de valores-chave ou …
 2. Projete uma visualização no editor e crie um plug-in simples que a adicione ao Inspector ao abrir esses tipos de recursos.
CurveTables are the same thing, except mapped to an Array of float values or a Curve/Curve2D resource object.
Aviso
Esteja ciente de que os arquivos de recursos (*. Tres / *. Res) armazenarão o caminho do script que eles usam no arquivo. Quando carregados, eles buscarão e carregarão esse script como uma extensão do tipo. Isso significa que tentar atribuir uma subclasse, ou seja, uma classe interna de um script (como usar a palavra-chave '' class'' no GDScript) não funcionará. Godot não serializará as propriedades customizadas na subclasse do script adequadamente.
No exemplo abaixo, Godot carregaria o script '' Node'', veria que ele não estende '' Resource'' e determinará que o script falhou ao carregar o objeto Resource, pois os tipos são incompatíveis.
extends Node
class MyResource:
 extends Resource
 export var value = 5
func _ready():
 var my_res = MyResource.new()
 # This will NOT serialize the 'value' property.
 ResourceSaver.save("res://my_res.tres", my_res)
using Godot;
public class MyNode : Node
{
 public class MyResource : Resource
 {
 [Export]
 public int Value { get; set; } = 5;
 }
 public override void _Ready()
 {
 var res = new MyResource();
 // This will NOT serialize the 'Value' property.
 ResourceSaver.Save("res://MyRes.tres", res);
 }
}

The mighty ash (Fraxinus excelsior) which stands on the lawns to the front of Gordon Castle, in the Morayshire town of Fochabers, presents an imposing figure.
The trunk is of exceptional girth for this species, measuring a staggering 7.79 metres (25 feet 7 inches) in girth at 1m (3 feet 3 inches) above ground level. Above this, the girth becomes grossly exaggerated because of large swellings and limb bases, attaining 8.74 metres (28 feet 8 inches) at 1.5 metres (4 feet 11 inches) above ground.
The huge, stately canopy is equally impressive, with the massive limbs which form the framework of the crown reaching 28.5 metres (93 feet 6 inches) in height. The tree appears to have been pollarded many years ago, and displays a typically low-branching and multi-stemmed crown form.
As is typical with most old ash trees, the trunk is heavily decayed and largely hollow. It is a remarkable testament to the strength of its timber that the thin outer shell of sound wood is capable of supporting such a capacious canopy.
Ash as a species is relatively short-lived, with few trees exceeding 200 years before old age and decay set in. The Gordon Castle tree is clearly something of an exception, and is of considerable antiquity. The site has been a stronghold of the Gordon Clan since the 15th century, with the original castle of 1470 being replaced by the 4th Duke of Gordon in 1769. It is likely the tree dates from around this time.
Where to see the Gordon Castle Ash:
The entrance to Gordon Castle is located at the west end of the town of Fochabers, approximately 14.5km (9 miles) east of Elgin, Moray. The impressive entrance gates lie to the north of the A98 road at the war memorial, just at the entrance to the west end of the main street. The ash tree stands on the lawns to the north of the castle. Access available with permission.

Here's a quick way to draw consistent wavy lines. The same technique can be applied for springs.
This isn't intended to devalue your request for a precise geometric tool for this kind of needs, which i agree it's quite useful.
It's just a way to help you solve the problem with the available tools/resources we have at the moment.
because you need a transparent image at the end, I think you have to cut out the spaces. I don't know if it is the right way but you can achieve it like this...
(since we still don't have an offset tool, we have to use expand stroke)
1. write your text, set stroke width and align stroke to outside (stroke width will determine the space between your text and your lines later)
2. convert your text to path and go to Layer -> Expand Stroke (I've switched off visibility of the black text in the screenshot)
3. draw your lines with your appropriate stroke width; highlight your lines, go to Layer -> Expand Stroke and set Geometry -> add, now you have one "line-shape",
make sure your line-shape is underneath your text
4. highlight the line-shape and all the expanded strokes -> Geometry -> Subtract
5. now you have a cutted line-shape
6. Geometry -> divide and delete the small pieces
7. you're done ;-)

Icelandic Is Essential to Getting Access to Society
"Having good command of Icelandic is the key to access to society and a prerequisite for people's wishes and dreams coming true," Helgi Gíslason, principal of Fellaskóli grade school in Breiðholt, Reykjavík, tells Morgunblaðið. "Good progress in school brings confidence, and that's how opportunities present themselves," he adds. "The basis for that is good command of Icelandic, which we put every effort into improving, along with the whole school community in the neighborhood."
Fellaskóli stands out among other Icelandic schools, due to its high ratio of students whose native language is not Icelandic. About 80 percent of the students, or 330 of them, are bilingual, meaning that either one or both parents are of foreign origin. Many immigrant families live in the multi-cultural Fellahverfi neighborhood.
A new initiative, called Draumaskólinn, meaning 'Dream School' has just been launched in the Fellahverfi neighborhood. It involves a three-year plan – a cooperative effort between students and staff of Fellaskóli grade school, with the participation of the Ministry of Education and the City of Reykjavík. It includes cooperation with the neighborhood preschools and recreational center as well.
The goal is to increase the ability of students whose native language is not Icelandic to read and speak Icelandic and to increase their vocabulary, thereby helping them develop a positive self-concept.
"The role of grade schools is manifold," Helgi states, "including educating students and encouraging their active participation in a diverse democratic society. This includes offering equal opportunity and facilities. Having obtained the same foundation and education, graduating students ought to have equal opportunities once they move on to further studies and work."

Tobacco use in China is unequally distributed among urban and rural people. It was found that rural people smoke more than urban. Experts say that the main reason for that is that people from rural areas have a lower socio-economic status (SES), however, they cannot exactly say how social structural factors affect rural smoking.
The objective of the study was to examine the social and personal contributing factors that play a leading role in supporting smoking practices among rural people in China.
An ethnographic study was made in a rural area of Central Jiangsu, China. People who participated in the study were those who lived in families with at least one smoking resident and there were kids. In order to collect all necessary data the participants had to answer on a number of questions. Also unstructured observations were used to collect data. All collected data was analyzed by specialists.
The results of the study showed that though people were poorly informed about negative effects of smoking and had no motivation to give up the habit, social factors were the main barriers to quitting smoking.
In China cigarette gifting and cigarette exchange are considered an absolutely nromal thing. The tradition is especially popular in rural areas where the phenomenon is presented in every aspect of rural life, from daily activities to leisure time, in family and wider social interactions.
Now the question is — how traditional collectivism and familism is interacted with pro-smoking environment. What is the attitude of rural people towards smoke-free environments? Are they ready to implement smoke-free policies? These are just several questions that interest the experts. Living in the rural area was a serious barrier to quitting smoking because people were not informed about smoking cessation.
The main conclusion made after the study is that development of smoking cessation programs in rural areas of China must take into consideration the social determinants influencing smoking practices.
- 350 Million Smokers in China
- Age, gender and social advantage affect success in quitting smoking
- Smoking Rates Reduced in New Zealand

The Amsterdam Hebrew Printing Industry _PHONE_: The impact of intellectual, economic and religious developments on Hebrew Printing
University of Amsterdam
Supervisor(s): Prof. Emile Schrijver/ Prof. Paul Hoftijzer (Universiteit Leiden)
The dissertation will give an insight into the history of Hebrew printing in Amsterdam and explore the impact that intellectual, economic and religious developments had on this history. The research will cover the period _PHONE_. Special emphasis will be put on identifying and analysing the networks that Hebrew book printers in Amsterdam had and how the presence or absence of networks influenced the field of Hebrew printing in this timespan. One objective of the dissertation is to examine if the book printers worked autonomously or responded to the demand of the market, the wishes of a sponsor or the restrictions on printing by the governors of the boards of Jewish congregations. Another objective is to get a clearer picture of the interaction between book printer, craftsmen, book trade and market. The aim is to map who the major players were and how this network functioned under different circumstances. The expectation is that this analysis will lead to a deeper understanding of the considerations and obstacles that a printer of Hebrew books had to face and the strategic choices made to bring a book to the presses.


Can Cats Eat Sugar? What You Need To Know
(Last Updated On: June 13, 2020)
As humans, most of us love sugar. We tend to put it in everything from cookies to breads, or minimally in coffee or tea.
It's easy for humans to eat sugar, but as you dig into something sweet or add a little sugar to your cooking, you might be wondering if your cat can enjoy sugar as much as you do.
At the very least, you might want to know if it's detrimental for their health, which is why we're here to answer the question of whether cats can eat sugar.
Can Cats Eat Sugar?
As a cat owner, you might already know that your cat cannot simply eat the same food that you eat.
They simply cannot metabolize food like we do, which is why certain human foods make cats very sick. Sugar, thankfully, is not one of those foods, meaning that yes, cats can eat sugar.
It would be best to avoid it whenever possible though for the sake of your cat's long-term health.
Sugar is not actually poisonous to cats, so if yours happens to have some sweet cereal or a bit of something like syrup or frosting, you don't have to worry about rushing off to your vet.
It isn't great for the long-term health of your cat though, since it is still a junk food. In the end, you should minimize sugars in your cat's diet wherever possible.
Tasting Sugar
Believe it or not, cats actually cannot taste sugar anyway. They won't taste the sweetness that we enjoy, meaning that there's no real reason for you to give your cat sugar anyway.
This doesn't mean that your cat won't eat something sweet though. There may be another ingredient in the food that they're attracted to that implores them to take a bite.
For instance, think of chocolate. We all know that chocolate is dangerous to cats, not necessarily because of the sugar, but because of other ingredients.
Cats still eat it though which is why it's important to always keep it out of reach.
Existing Health Conditions
Like humans, cats can deal with diseases like diabetes. This would make sugar very detrimental to their health if they happen to have it.
They may not be able to taste the sugar, but that doesn't mean it won't be harmful. Especially in this case, your cat cannot have sugar at all for the sake of their health.
If your cat does happen to have diabetes, remember to give them their insulin shot after they've eaten. This type of treatment will prevent your cat from experiencing worse health problems like a damaged liver.
Only Good Sugars
You shouldn't give your cat sweet sugar that we use for baking, but like humans, cats do need certain types of sugars to function.
They need sugars from high-end, high-protein cat food rather than the ordinary table one.
Can cats eat marshmallow?
These are the types they can metabolize and use for cellular energy, although there still shouldn't be large amounts of sugar in your cat's food.
This is why the total sugar content of your cat's food should be less than one percent. Ultimately, if there is glucose and fructose in urine, then that means that your cat has too much in their diet.
Long-Term Issues
Ordinary table sugar is completely lacking in nutrition, providing calories without giving your cat what they need for their health.
Since adult cats only need a few hundred calories a day, the empty calories from sugar add up quickly, potentially leading to obesity and other health issues.
Obesity inhibits the ability of your cat to lead a happy life, since they're unable to enjoy exercise like they used to. This reduces the quality of their life and may lead to other health issues as well.
An obese cat is more likely to have conditions like osteoarthritis, insulin resistance, type two diabetes, and some cancers.
It can lead to diabetes in particular, while obesity increases the chances of a heart attack or stroke. If your cat is already obese, they certainly shouldn't be having any in their diet.
Oral Health
There have been conflicting opinions on whether sugar has negative results on your cat's oral health, but like humans, it's likely that too much sugar is able to damage your cat's oral health.
Giving your cat sugar may increase their chances of cavities, gingivitis, and other types of oral infections.
If bacteria then enters into the bloodstream, it can travel throughout your cat's body to infect their liver, kidneys, and heart.
Especially if you do not brush your cat's teeth on a daily basis, as many of us do not, you should try to protect your cat's teeth in other ways.
This includes giving your cat as little sugar as possible to avoid future problems.
Talk to Your Vet
If you think that your cat has had too much sugar, or you are unsure about your cat's diet, it's always best to chat with your vet.
They will be able to go over your cat's diet with you to keep them healthy long-term.
The occasional amount of sugar will not kill your cat, as it is not toxic or poisonous.
If your cat happens to like it, it's okay to just give them a little bit here and there. But it's important not to give them too much.
Even though it isn't toxic or poisonous, too much of it can lead to health problems in the future. This includes oral health problems, obesity, and diabetes.
In order to keep your cat healthy, it's best to give them as little as possible. Since they can't even taste it, it's likely that they won't mind nearly as much as some of us would!

Become the Next eSafety Champion MOOC
With its virtually limitless content and opportunities, the internet has become so popular, we now carry it in our pockets to everywhere we go. However, its popularity and wide reach also bring about risks along with it. In a world where education is increasingly reliant on technology and online tools, it is essential that schools provide an online environment where students and staff can make the most of the internet while staying as safe as possible.
The eSafety Label+ MOOC aims to support education professionals to create an online safety strategy tailored to their school's needs in order to ensure their pupils learn and interact in a safer digital environment. How will this be achieved? Through an introduction to the concept of 'eSafety strategy' and a thorough analysis of the schools' strengths and shortcomings. As a participant, you will reflect upon and be better prepared to make informed decisions about a safer technological infrastructure, school policies and practices for your students. Moreover, the eSafety strategy developed throughout this MOOC will pave the way for your school to receive an eSafety Label, the European online safety accreditation service for schools!
With a view to creating your own personalised eSafety strategy, in this MOOC you will:
- Reflect on the importance of appropriate eSafety policies in a school context,
- Identify the eSafety risks and challenges your school and students may face,
- Learn how to embrace a whole-school approach and encourage all relevant parties (teachers, parents, school managements, ICT professionals, and so on) to develop an eSafety strategy tailored to your school's needs.
- Learn to implement, monitor and assess your eSafety strategy.
This course is open to anyone interested in eSafety in a school context, but it is primarily designed for practising primary and secondary school teachers. Other stakeholders such as heads of schools, ICT teachers or parents may also benefit from this course.
- Module 1: How to build an eSafety strategy
- Module 2: Identifying eSafety challenges at your school
- Module 3: Start building your strategy
- Module 4: Implementing and monitoring your strategy
Each module includes some suggested learning activity that supports the design of an eSafety strategy to be submitted at the end of the course.

Weak-field laser phase modulation coherent control of asymptotic photofragment distributions
Coherent control of the asymptotic photofragment state-resolved distributions by means of laser phase modulation in the weak-field limit is demonstrated computationally for a polyatomic molecule. The control scheme proposed applies a pump laser field consisting of two pulses delayed in time. Phase modulation of the spectral bandwidth profile of the laser field is achieved by varying the time delay between the pulses. The underlying equations show that such a phase modulation is effective in order to produce control effects on the asymptotic, long-time limit photofragment distributions only when the bandwidths of the two pulses overlap in a frequency range. The frequency overlap of the pulses gives rise to an interference term which is responsible for the modulation of the spectral profile shape. The magnitude of the range of spectral overlap between the pulses becomes an additional control parameter. The control scheme is illustrated computationally for the asymptotic photofragment state distributions produced from different scenarios of the Ne–Br2 predissociation. An experimental application of the control scheme is found to be straightforward.

Word Origin & History
O.E. cocc, O.Fr. coq, O.N. kokkr, all of echoic origin. O.E. cocc was a nickname for "one who strutted like a cock," thus a common term in the Middle Ages for a pert boy, used of scullions, apprentices, servants, etc. A common personal name till c.1500, it was affixed to Christian names as a pet diminutive,
cf. Wilcox, Hitchcock, etc. Slang sense of "penis" is attested since 1618 (but cf. pillicock "penis," from c.1300); cock-teaser is from 1891. A cocker spaniel (1823) was trained to start woodcocks. Cock-and-bull is first recorded 1621, perhaps an allusion to Aesop's fables, with their incredible talking animals, or to a particular story, now forgotten. French has parallel expression coq-à-l'âne.
in various mechanical senses, such as cock of a faucet (late 15c.) is of uncertain connection with cock
(n.1), but Ger. has hahn "hen" in many of the same senses. The cock of an old matchlock firearm is 1560s, hence half-cocked "with the cock lifted to the first catch, at which
position the trigger does not act."
seeming contradictory senses of "to stand up" (as in cock one's ear), c.1600, and "to bend" (1898) are from the two cock nouns. The first is probably in reference to the posture of the bird's head or tail, the second to the firearm position. To cock ones hat carries the notion of "defiant boastfulness"
also in M.E. cocken (c.1150) "to fight."


Kevin Hodes, CEO of Credit Card Processing Company Swypit Shares the Closing Article of a Two-Part Series on Setting Goals in Life and Business.
Frisco, TX – November 2, 2020 – Kevin Hodes, CEO of Swypit has published a new article entitled "When Setting Goals in Life and Business, Is the Outcome or the Process What Really Matters?" In the piece, Hodes concludes his exploration of how strategic goal setting, with a plan for achievement, can improve both personal and professional outcomes in our lives.
Picking up where he left off with the benefits of goal setting when done properly, Hodes goes on to discuss the importance of the process and not just the outcome when we strive to achieve our goals.
Hodes says, "Remember, our goals will determine our behavior. Similarly, goal setting theory also states that the most simple and direct explanation for why some people perform better than others is simply because they set higher goals."
Specifically, he adds, "Yes, setting higher, harder, or more challenging goals means we work harder and almost always, perform higher. In other words, goal setting and performance are related in a linear way. People adjust their level of effort, motivation, and determination based on how hard or easy the goal they set is."
Hodes goes on to say that this means if we want to see bigger results, we should set bigger goals.
He elaborates, "If we set bigger goals, we will do more—expend more effort and stay more motivated—to achieve them because the strength or size of the goal will determine the strength or size of our effort. Therefore, even if we "fall short" on the actual result we attain, we will still likely achieve MORE in the process than if we had set smaller or less challenging goals."

Manga / Witch Hat Atelier
Go To
"Magic is amazing!"
"Are athletes athletes from the moment they're born? What about astronauts or idols? These things aren't decided at birth. So then... what about witches?"
Witch Hat Atelier (Tongari Booshi no Atorie in Japanese, Atelier of Witch Hat in German and Spanish publications) is a fantasy manga by Shirahama Kamome.
Ever since the day a mysterious witch sold her a picture book detailing the wonders of magic, seamstress's daughter Coco has loved magic and wished to become a witch. Unfortunately for Coco, everyone knows witches are born, not taught. Coco is resigned to a magic-less life until the fateful day when the witch Qifrey visits her mother's shop. Secretly observing as Qifrey magically repairs a flying chariot, Coco watches in awe as he casts his spells by drawing glyphs. Trying to replicate the effect, Coco turns to the magical picture book. When she copies down the glyphs in the book, Coco finds that even she is able to perform magic — until her attempts backfire disastrously, nearly destroying her home and turning her mother to stone. Rescued from her uncontrollable spell at the last minute by Qifrey, Coco is given a choice: she can let Qifrey erase her memories of magic, or join him as his apprentice and learn how to reverse the spell that trapped her mother.
Coco is swept up into a world of magic she could only have dreamed of before, but her troubles are far from over and the danger is far from past. Can Coco learn to harness the power of magic and prove herself a capable witch? Does Qifrey have an alternate motive for allowing Coco to join his atelier as an apprentice? And who is the mysterious witch who sold Coco a book of dangerous magic?
Kodansha Comics began publication of their English translation in 2019.
A spin-off called Kitchen of Witch Hat started publication in 2019.
Witch Hat Atelier provides examples of:
 - Abandon the Disabled: Witch society as a whole — magic casting is an art that utilizes precisely drawn glyphs, and Qifrey notes that the magical community does very little to accommodate those with vision problems. Even the children of witch families (who are raised with magic as part of their every-day lives) find their ability to become proper magic apprentices is limited if they have vision problems.
 - Tartah, who is the grandson of a magic stationer, has an advanced form of colorblindness. While he has been allowed to live among witchfolk and serve as an assistant to his grandfather, he's well aware of how limited his options for pursuing magic are and feels out of place in witch society.
 - Qifrey is progressively losing vision in his one remaining eye. He feels it necessary to hide the fact from even his closest friends with custom, invisible spellwork on his glasses that amplifies his failing eyesight. He fears losing his sight entirely will result in the magic world turning its back on him, in much the same way the Magic Security Council was willing to erase his memory and abandon him as a child.
 - Amplifier Artifact: The buried city of Romonneau had a huge magic "mirror" designed to amplify the effects of glyphs, with Qifrey describing the artifact as "ancient war magic." The effects of a warmth stone designed only to warm skin are amplified to the point where it throws off enough heat to melt gold, killing the gilded citizens of Romonneau who were forced to live in the caverns for hundreds of years.
 - Animate Inanimate Object: With a set of seals, Agott manages to create a "Parroting Pouch" in Chapter 34, meant to repeat words and act as a guide for others to follow. At the end of the chapter someone has managed to take control of it to guide Coco into a secret meeting.
 - The Apprentice: In the world of witches, all magic users must start out as an apprentice in an established witch's atelier:
 - Coco joins Qifrey's atelier and becomes one of his apprentices, joining his other pupils Agott, Tetia, and Richeh.
 - Other apprentices in the series include Euini (apprenticed first to Kukrow, then to Alaira), Ririfin (apprenticed to Sage Beldarut), and Jujy (apprenticed to Hieheart).
 - Arc Symbol: During the Second Test Arc, scales. The arc opens to a shot of scaled wolves shedding their scales for mating, the path of the second test is shaped like a serpent, with the ground tiles looking like scales and all the ones being tested wear a special cape with scales.
 - Bag of Sharing: Twin Bottle magic. It's been lost to time along with the medical witches, who used it to share medicine.
 - Ban on Magic: Anyone can use magic, as long as they can draw glyphs and have access to a magic ink. Unfettered and unregulated access to magic caused the world to go into mayhem, so the most responsible and powerful magic users created a set of rules for users and erased the memory of the rest of the population. The majority of the population believes that the witches are almost a separated species altogether, and most people can't use magic. One of the rules is that no magic can be used in human bodies, not even healing (with the exception of memory manipulation, and only in order to keep the truth about witches a secret). Orugio further explained that it's believed that what exactly led to the ban were dangerous and perverse human experimentation made by witch doctors.
 - Blood Magic: The Brimhat witch uses his blood as ink.
 - Body Horror:
 - Eunie being the victim of Brimhat forbidden magic — he has a glyph carved into his skin that causes him to undergo a Painful Transformation into a scaled wolf.
 - In the city of Romonneau, the prideful citizens used magic to turn people who they thought were worthless into solid gold while crucified. The gilded citizens are still alive in that state, and they end up melting in Chapter 24 when a warmth stone gets placed in a magical amplification mirror, killing them.
 - The Call Knows Where You Live: Though Coco had always wished to be a witch, her entry into the world of magic ends up being rather cruel and ironic—a book of Black Magic given to her by a rogue witch causes her to accidentally turn her mother to stone, and Qifrey decides to take her as an apprentice so she won't get mind-wiped by the magical authorities.
 - Catapult Nightmare: Coco has one in Chapter 14 where she envisions her mother blaming her for being turned to stone and the Brimhat telling her it's her fault the world will be destroyed.
 - Cool Hat:
 - Witches wear pointed hats to show that they are magic users. The design varies from witch to witch. When an apprentice is accepted into an Atelier, they receive their pointed cap.
 - The Brim-hat witches are recognizable by their witch hats that have additional wide brims or masks incorporated that hide the face.
 - Cute Witch: All the girls are young witches-in-training and are usually very pleasant.
 - Cutting the Knot: While being chased by the Brimhat in Chapter 22, Agott decides to just freeze the entire road rather than deal with it while they're being chased.
 - The Dark Arts: Widespread abuse of magic once led to the world being embroiled in constant chaos and war. When the witches of the Conspiracy took power, one of the means they used to bring peace was wiping out all knowledge of magic that directly affected the human body, such as transformation, teleportation, and even healing, and condemning it all as "forbidden magic". This includes magical techniques that are only indirectly related: twin bottle magic, used to remotely share the contents of one container with another, was destroyed because of its association with medical witches accused of human experimentation. It's taken seriously enough that people interested in medicine are expressly forbidden from learning magic, and even the hospital of the Seabed Sanctum, the center of magical governance, is staffed solely by non-witches despite the ban on them learning about magic making it inconvenient. Memory erasure is the sole exception to the body taboo, as it's used to enforce the laws of magic.
 - Escort Mission: The Second Test for becoming a Witch involves escorting a group of migrating birds to their mating grounds. However, its through a twisted landscape shaped by magic from the last war.
 - Establishing Character Moment:
 - Tetia, one of Coco's sister apprentices, is introduced happily telling her not to fear magic and helping her use the waterdrop buoy, a magical item that draws moisture from the air. She also thanks Coco for thanking her because she likes being thanked.
 - Richeh, another sister apprentice, is introduced by telling Coco not humor Tetia or else she won't shut up. She states that by staying quiet, Tetia will eventually give up.
 - Agott is first shown flowing into her room by the window using magical tools and asking Coco to move away so she can land. She doesn't even look in her direction when presenting herself and although she feels sorry for what happened to Coco's mother, she is quick to say that her mother will never be human again and that it's Coco's fault.
 - Floating Landmass: The Dadah "Mountain Range" is a watery landscape dotted with round, airborne hummocks. They float or sink at various altitudes depending on
