In this article, we will show how to calculate a component's position in the component hierarchy using Gremlin. Used in a calculated field this can be a convenient way to quickly get an understanding of the component's position in the hierarchy without having to utilize the hierarchy navigator. This can be particularly useful in presentations where the hierarchy navigator is not available.
Calculating a Specific Component's Position in the Hierarchy
In this example, we will calculate the position in the component hierarchy for the component called Sales Strategy and Plans. Assuming that the top level is number 1, we can see that the component is located at level 4 in our Business Capabilities workspace:
Ardoq Calculating a Specific Component's Position in the Hierarchy
Assuming that we only have one component called Sales Strategy and Plans we can use the following query to calculate its position in the component hierarchy:
g.V(). has('name', 'Sales Strategy and Plans'). emit().repeat(out('ardoq_parent')). count()
In the first two lines of the query, we find the component called Sales Strategy and Plans. In the third line of the query we repeatedly keep the current component (using emit()) and traverse up the hierarchy by following the outgoing ardoq_parent reference. The ardoq_parent reference is not an actual reference, but in Ardoq we expose child-parent relationships in Gremlin as a reference called ardoq_parent. In the fourth line of the query we count the number of components we are left with. This will give us the component's position in the component hierarchy since the position is equal to the number of ancestor components plus the component itself.
Ardoq query showing ardoq_parent reference
As expected we get 4 as a result.
Creating a Calculated Field to Show a Component's Position in the Hierarchy
In this example we will create a calculated field that shows the hierarchy position of any component the field is applied to. We will only cover the actual Gremlin query used to create the calculated field, so if this is your first time creating a calculated field make sure to also check out _URL_ to learn how to set up a calculated field.
Below we have modified our previous query to fit how Ardoq expects calculated fields to be defined:
g.V(ids). project('id', 'name', 'value'). by(id). by('name'). by(emit().repeat(out('ardoq_parent')).count())
You may notice that the last line of the query is very similar to our previous query. The rest of the query is common for all calculated fields in Ardoq and ensures that one value is calculated for each component that the calculated field is applied to. Running the query in the calculated field editor we can see that the calculated value for our Sales Strategy and Plans component is 4, as expected:

After saving and applying the field, we can navigate to our Sales Strategy and Plans component and verify that our Position In Hierarchy field has been set to 4, as expected:

A Northeast wind is fishable in some instances especially close to the shoreline on the bayside even up to 15-20 mph. East winds at times can be the least productive to fish in.
A Southwest wind is fishable up to 20 mph but only on the oceanside (seaside). It is more productive to fish in than a Northeast wind.
North or South Winds
North and South winds over 15 mph are not fishable on either side (The Bay or Seaside). They are unfishable due to a rapid drift.

The sterically polymer-based liposomal complexes (SPLexes) were formed by cationic polymeric liposomes and pH-sensitive diblock copolymer were studied for their capabilities in improving the stability with high efficiency of siRNA delivery. The SPLexes were formed a dual-shelled structure and uniform size distribution. The PEGylated outer shell could mitigate the phagocytosis and reduce the cytotoxicity. Moreover, the folated SPLexes improved 42.9× accumulation in vitro and 1.7× tumor uptake in vivo in contrast with nonfolated SPLexes. The protonated copolymer at low pH would improve the siRNA released into cytoplasm following SPLexes fusion with the endo/lysosome membrane and inhibited the protein expression to 75.6 ± 4.5% efficiently. Results of this study significantly contribute to efforts to develop lipoplexes based siRNA delivery systems.

Only one week remains before TIGER TIGER is released to the world. You can pre-purchase your copy now directly from the Samhain website!
In the process of writing it, we learned a lot about writing, editing, and life in general. Here are our five favorite things we learned:
1. Writing a novel is like anything else that requires a lot of sustained effort over time (weight loss, marathon running, etc.). Learn how to put small, consistent work in on the project so that you don't burn out, but that you keep the momentum going.
2. Editing can be tough. Allow yourself the time to do it, and use tools like 30 On/30 Off to make it doable.
3. Collect a master document of things to look for in edits. If you make consistent errors with something (spelling manger instead of manager, etc.) then put that in your document so you know to look for it during edits, and you don't have to be paranoid about it during the writing stage.
4. Remember that it's play. Relax and enjoy the project and keep foremost in your mind that you're doing this because you love the characters and the story.
5. Trust your Inner Storyteller. Trust that the Story should be told and give yourself enough time to get the whole thing out onto the page.

Opened in December 2021, the Family Kitchen Shop and Restaurant at Royal Botanic Gardens Kew offers families a place to shop, eat and engage with the natural world, learning more about where food comes from and discovering the important role that plants and fungi play in our lives.
Designed by Lumsden Design, the new shop has sustainability threaded through every aspect, making it the deserving winner of the Cultural Enterprises Sustainability Award earlier this year. As Retail and eCommerce Operations Officer Emma Sinclair explains, sustainability was the key consideration when conceiving and creating everything related to the project and space.
"The building was designed to help reach the Royal Botanic Gardens commitment of going beyond achieving net zero carbon emissions and to be climate positive by 2030. The building is constructed in timber, includes 71 photovoltaic roof panels generating 30 megawatt hours of electricity per annum, is BREEAM (Building Research Establishment's Environmental Assessment Method) Excellent and approximately 80% of the hot water used in the building is heated using heat recycled from the front of house areas, shop and kitchen.
"Kew Gardens for many is a place that celebrates learning and nature, inspiring a younger generation to discover the important role that plants and fungi play in all our lives. With the new shop space, we wanted to reflect these beliefs whilst creating a vibrant, welcoming and colourful environment for all to shop, learn and enjoy.
"The first thing you notice when you enter are the brightly coloured zones which reflect the six key multi-sensory learning zones in the space – Diversity, Autumn, Science, Water, Sun and Spring. We reflected these zones within the shop through vinyl shapes and playful display units to denote the different areas. Fixtures in the shop celebrate sustainability and materiality whilst also being welcoming and engaging. FSC Wood is utilised throughout, and the multicoloured tables resemble ants and beetles which have inspired some of the key product ranges within the space, making for creative and eye-catching visual merchandising.
"We created a reading area in the Books section featuring many of our well-known Kew publishing titles and a giant pink earthworm bench which customers young and old love sitting on to read or capture a family selfie! The lighting in the space is also a talking point – fluffy cloud lights hang above you as you enter, and a recycled cardboard honeycomb pendant light that mimics Kew's iconic Hive installation is the centrepiece. The till countertop is made from recycled yoghurt pots creating a unique marble style material with flecks of paper and metallic foil running through it and there are sculptural mushroom shaped tables made from trees felled at Kew Gardens during Arboretum maintenance across the space.
"All ranges for the shop were purchased using our Ethical and Environmental Sourcing Policy, ensuring all suppliers stocked at Kew meet required standards. We took the decision to move away from plastic and instead opted for FSC approved wooden toys which last longer and align with objectives outlined in our 2021 organisational Sustainability Strategy. We introduced a children's gardening range to inspire a new generation of horticulturalists, including seed tins to grow your own, easy care house plants, colourful children's gardening tools and plant pots made from recycled plastic, produced with wind energy. Our popular Bees of Kew, Bugs and Beetles range also expanded in keeping with the shop theming and was particularly popular during the April 2022 Easter Bank Holiday Family Programme for The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.
"We also partnered with sustainable clothing company Frugi on their SS22 collection featuring colourful, fun prints inspired by flowers that bloom in spring. 90% of the range featured GOTS certified organic cotton alongside sustainable or recycled materials and extendable cuffs, waistbands and shoulder straps, which grow with the child to avoid having to purchase larger sizes so regularly.
"To date, we have seen a considerable increase in customer conversion compared with the former White Peaks children shop. We believe this can be attributed to the shop's imaginative and inspiring look and feel and product offerings that reflect our core values with varied price architecture for broad appeal. The shop has also been an incredibly popular addition to our Christmas at Kew lights trail, offering an alternative family offer for those visiting with younger children and families."
A vibrant, interactive and fun place to shop with sustainability threaded through every aspect of the design and ranges.The Judges, Cultural Enterprises Awards

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology
1. 1. Seasonal differences in metabolic and water loss rates were examined in three related species of grasshoppers collected from shrub-steppe communities in Utah: Arphia conspersa, A. pseudonietana and
2. 2 cohorts of Trimerotropis pallidipennis. 2. No significant differences (P = 0.05) in metabolic rates were observed between seasons (early vs late), between genera (Arphia vs Trimerotropis) nor among species.
3. 3. Early season (spring) grasshoppers had a higher (but non-significant) mean water loss rate (±X ± SD in mg.g−1-hr−1) (4.81 ± 1.53) than late season (summer) grasshoppers (4.43 ± 1.43).
4. 4. Among species, early season A. conspersa had a significantly higher water loss rate (5.22 ± 1.76) under similar conditions than late season A. pseudonietana (3.67 ± 1.22), but early season T. pallidipennis had a significantly lower water loss rate (4.40 ± 1.17) than the late season generation (5.32 ± 1.12).
5. 5. Because of variables that were not or could not be controlled, the relationship between these physiological traits and season was difficult to address.

Ethiopia launching national youth volunteer service program
August 8,2018
The Ethiopian government is launching what is poised to become Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's flagship program of "trans-boundary volunteers."
With this program, youth volunteers are to serve outside of their respective ethnic-based Federal states, seemingly which is why it is named "trans-boundary", in the country.
1000 graduating students drawn from different parts of Ethiopia are taking part in the program which is commencing today. And volunteer youth are to get credit for their participation when they are looking for employment after graduation.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed met with the volunteers today before they are deployed to where they are assigned.
"When you serve the community as volunteers, you also need to learn and acquire knowledge as well," the prime minister told the volunteers. He meant to emphasize that there is knowledge in the community outside of university and other institutions of higher learning.
Apart from providing new graduates with relevant work experience, the motive of the program is to foster what the government describes as "people to people relation" and national feeling.
Ethiopia has a history of mobilizing youth for volunteer work in the community. Soon after the Ethiopian Revolution in 1974, Colonel Mengistu Hailemariam's government embarked on a nationwide illiteracy eradication program by deploying hundreds of thousands of youth in the countryside in different parts of the country to provide basic education. The program was successful so much so that illiteracy was significantly reduced in the country.
Although Abiy Ahmed's initiative in launching the program seems to be positive and perhaps a move in the right direction, especially if the program is given Ethiopian character as opposed to practices in the west, the political situation in the country could prove difficult to achieve the goals of the program.
This past week, for example, there has been an organized ethnic-based violence in Jijiga and other nearby towns, South Eastern parts of Ethiopia, where more than 29 people were killed and more than 10 churches were burned. Seen from that angle, it is questionable if it is the right time.

A proactive transfer policy for critical patient flow management
Revista : Health Care Management Science
Tipo de publicación : ISI Ir a publicación
Hospital emergency departments are often overcrowded, resulting in long wait times and a public perception of poor attention. Delays in transferring patients needing further treatment increases emergency department congestion, has negative impacts on their health and may increase their mortality rates. A model built around a Markov decision process is proposed to improve the efficiency of patient flows between the emergency department and other hospital units. With each day divided into time periods, the formulation estimates bed demand for the next period as the basis for determining a proactive rather than reactive transfer decision policy. Due to the high dimensionality of the optimization problem involved, an approximate dynamic programming approach is used to derive an approximation of the optimal decision policy, which indicates that a certain number of beds should be kept free in the different units as a function of the next period demand estimate. Testing the model on two instances of different sizes demonstrates that the optimal number of patient transfers between units changes when the emergency patient arrival rate for transfer to other units changes at a single unit, but remains stable if the change is proportionally the same for all units. In a simulation using real data for a hospital in Chile, significant improvements are achieved by the model in key emergency department performance indicators such as patient wait times (reduction higher than 50%), patient capacity (21% increase) and queue abandonment (from 7% down to less than 1%).

A reAqua grey water recovery system collects waste water from the first floor bathroom's shower, bath and basin and treats the water so it can be used for toilet flushing. Heat is recovered from the waste water and used to pre-heat the water in the hot water cylinder.
How does it work?
A revised plumbing setup takes all the waste water from baths and showers in a property and redirects it through a reAqua filtration unit to treat it with a disinfectant. The treated water is then piped on to supply all flushing water needs for multiple toilets. If one toilet is specified, gravity feed is sufficient. If two or more are connected, an electrically pumped feed is provided within the unit.
The unit also recovers the heat from the bath and shower water used, transferring it to the building's central heating system through use of a heat-exchanger. The recovered heat is transferred to the cold feed of a combi-boiler or hot water cylinder, reducing demand on the existing central-heating system.
- Reduces water consumption
- Reduces energy consumption by pre-heating water in the heating or DHW system
- Unit is compact, fitting into a cupboard.

Data-mining-based system for prediction of water chemistry faults
Industrial Electronics, IEEE Transactions on
Fault monitoring and prediction is of prime importance in process industries. Faults are usually rare, and, therefore, predicting them is difficult. In this paper, simple and robust alarm-system architecture for predicting incoming faults is proposed. The system is data driven, modular, and based on data mining of merged data sets. The system functions include data preprocessing, learning, prediction, alarm generation, and display. A hierarchical decision-making algorithm for fault prediction has been developed. The alarm system was applied for prediction and avoidance of water chemistry faults (WCFs) at two commercial power plants. The prediction module predicted WCFs (inadvertently leading to boiler shutdowns) for independent test data sets. The system is applicable for real-time monitoring of facilities with sparse historical fault data.

Campbell Transit Station
Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa
Located in a 30-acre parking lot, the Campbell Transit Station is designed to serve the commuting needs of faculty and students. While programmatic requirements included: seating, wireless communication, restroom, and vending facilities, the station was designed to resist the effects of recurrent flooding through the use of cast-in-place concrete construction.
The undulating roof also participates in the ecology of the site by collecting and directing rainwater to a native grass rain garden. The result is a shelter that marks its place in the horizontal landscape by a parallel and undulating overhead plane–by the shadows it casts, wind it buffers and the precipitation it sheds.

This new monitoring system for critical vessels uses thermal imaging cameras to provide higher measurement density than traditional systems based on thermocouples. The Critical Vessel Monitoring System from Land Instruments International Ltd, a unit of Ametek Inc., measures surface temperature once every 16 cu cm, as compared with one measurement every 250 cu cm in typical thermocouple systems.
By measuring temperatures in more locations, the system allows for earlier detection of refractory wear or breakdown. Benefits include greater protection against catastrophic vessel failure and extension of refractory lifetime based on actual data.
The system is optimized for use in gasifiers and other critical vessels in petrochemical refining, power generation, chemical and coal processing, waste management, and fertilizer and plastics production.
Industrial cameras suitable for harsh environments are placed to view all parts of the vessel including the critical cone and dome sections. Each camera records over 110,000 individual measurements, ensuring that even the smallest degradation can be detected.
Measurements from all cameras are reported using graphical software that signals an alarm if a potential breakout is detected. The software also compiles temperature trends to support statistical analysis of refractory wear. An integrated web interface allows visualization of current vessel conditions from all plant locations.
The system supports operating efficiency by allowing installation and maintenance to be performed without shutting down the process.

This Guidance Document gives recommendations how to consider transformation products from soil photolysis ('phototransformation products') when modelling the predicted environmental concentrations in groundwater. It describes possible parameterisations of the photolytic pathway (i.e. the photolytic half‐life and the corresponding reference irradiation) in a tiered approach using the FOCUS‐PELMO model. Following the recommendations of the EFSA guidance (2014), separate half‐lives can be derived for the surface processes (kfast) and the biodegradation in the soil matrix (kslow) from field dissipation studies by using biphasic models. From field dissipation studies evaluated with biphasic kinetics, the kfast value can be considered representative for the photolytic degradation on soil surface for non‐volatile substances. This value should be determined after a time‐step normalisation according to irradiance data for the location and period of the field trial, to a reference irradiance of 100 W m−2. In case irradiance values are not available in the study, these values can be derived from databases such as AGRI4CAST or NASA, freely available in the Internet.

This paper presents the application of advanced optimization techniques to unmanned aerial system mission path planning system (MPPS) using multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs). Two types of multi-objective optimizers are compared; the MOEA nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II and a hybrid-game strategy are implemented to produce a set of optimal collision-free trajectories in a three-dimensional environment. The resulting trajectories on a three-dimensional terrain are collision-free and are represented by using Bézier spline curves from start position to target and then target to start position or different positions with altitude constraints. The efficiency of the two optimization methods is compared in terms of computational cost and design quality. Numerical results show the benefits of adding a hybrid-game strategy to a MOEA and for a MPPS.

Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a functional and inviting kitchen space. In 2023, there are various innovative kitchen lighting ideas that can transform your cooking area into a stylish and well-lit haven. Whether you want to enhance the ambiance, improve task lighting, or add a touch of drama, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions and expert tips to help you choose the perfect lighting for your kitchen.
1. What are the different types of kitchen lighting?
There are three main types of kitchen lighting: ambient, task, and accent lighting. Ambient lighting provides overall illumination and can be achieved through ceiling-mounted fixtures or recessed lights. Task lighting focuses on specific work areas such as the countertop or stove, and can be achieved through under-cabinet lights or pendant lights. Accent lighting highlights specific features or areas of your kitchen, such as artwork or a kitchen island, and can be achieved through track lighting or spotlights.
2. How can I incorporate natural light into my kitchen?
Natural light can make your kitchen feel more spacious and inviting. Consider installing larger windows or skylights to maximize the amount of natural light entering your kitchen. Additionally, you can use translucent window coverings or sheer curtains to allow light in while maintaining privacy. If your kitchen lacks natural light sources, consider using light-colored paint and reflective surfaces to bounce light around the space.
3. What are some trendy lighting fixtures for 2023?
In 2023, there are several trendy lighting fixtures that can elevate the style of your kitchen. Industrial-inspired pendant lights with exposed bulbs are gaining popularity, adding a touch of modern sophistication. Geometric-shaped chandeliers or cluster pendant lights can create a focal point and add a contemporary flair. Additionally, LED strip lights under cabinets or along the toe kick can provide a sleek and futuristic look.
4. How can I create a cozy ambiance in my kitchen?
To create a cozy ambiance in your kitchen, consider using warm lighting tones. Opt for warm white or soft yellow LED bulbs instead of cool white bulbs. Install dimmer switches to have control over the intensity of the light. Adding candlelight fixtures or string lights can also create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your kitchen.
5. What are some tips for maximizing task lighting in the kitchen?
To maximize task lighting in your kitchen, focus on the areas where you perform most of your tasks, such as the countertop, stove, and sink. Install under-cabinet lights directly above the countertop to eliminate shadows and provide ample illumination for food preparation. For the stove area, consider installing a pendant light or a range hood with built-in lighting. Task lighting can also be achieved through adjustable track lights or recessed lights with directional bulbs.
6. How can I make a statement with my kitchen lighting?
If you want to make a statement with your kitchen lighting, consider using bold and unique fixtures. Oversized pendant lights or chandeliers with intricate designs can become the focal point of your kitchen. Opt for fixtures made from unconventional materials such as glass, copper, or even recycled materials. These eye-catching lighting choices can add personality and drama to your kitchen space.
7. What are the benefits of energy-efficient lighting in the kitchen?
Energy-efficient lighting not only helps reduce your environmental footprint but also saves you money on electricity bills. LED bulbs are an excellent choice for kitchen lighting as they are long-lasting, energy-efficient, and emit less heat compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. Additionally, many energy-efficient lighting options are dimmable, allowing you to adjust the brightness to suit your needs.
8. How can I highlight my kitchen's architectural features?
If your kitchen has unique architectural features that you want to showcase, consider using accent lighting. Install track lights or spotlights to draw attention to a beautiful backsplash, an exposed brick wall, or open shelving. Use adjustable lighting fixtures to direct the light precisely where you want it, emphasizing the architectural elements of your kitchen.
9. What are some general tips for kitchen lighting?
Here are some general tips to keep in mind when choosing kitchen lighting:
- Consider the size and layout of your kitchen before selecting fixtures.
- Ensure that the lighting fixtures complement the overall style and design of your kitchen.
- Install multiple light sources to create layers of light and avoid shadows.
- Utilize dimmer switches to adjust the lighting intensity based on your needs.
- Regularly clean and maintain your lighting fixtures to ensure optimal performance.
With these tips in mind, you can create a well-lit and visually appealing kitchen space that enhances both functionality and style.

The CANCEL command does not delete the specified process. If the
process is executing an image when the CANCEL command is issued for it,
the process hibernates instead of exiting after the image completes
To delete a hibernating process for which wakeup requests have been
canceled, use the STOP command. You can determine whether a subprocess
has been deleted by entering the SHOW PROCESS command with the
A local process name can look like a remote process name. Therefore, if
you specify ATHENS::SMITH, the system checks for a process named
ATHENS::SMITH on the local node before checking node ATHENS for a
process named SMITH.
You also can use the /IDENTIFICATION=pid qualifier to specify a process
name. If you use the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier and the
process-name parameter together, the qualifier overrides the
parameter. If you do not specify either the process-name
parameter or the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier, the CANCEL command cancels
scheduled wakeup requests for the current (that is, the issuing)

omit leading zeros when you specify the PID.
The CANCEL command in this example cancels a wakeup request for a
process named CALENDAR (which continues to hibernate until it is
deleted with the STOP command).
$ RUN/SCHEDULE=14:00 STATUS
%RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 0013012A
The RUN command in this example creates a process to execute the image
STATUS. The process hibernates and is scheduled to be awakened at
14:00. Before the process is awakened, the CANCEL command cancels the
$ RUN/PROCESS_NAME=LIBRA/INTERVAL=1:00 LIBRA
%RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 00130027
$ CANCEL LIBRA
$ STOP LIBRA
The RUN command in this example creates a subprocess named LIBRA to
execute the image LIBRA.EXE at hourly intervals.
Subsequently, the CANCEL command cancels the wakeup request. The
process continues to exist, but in a state of hibernation, until the
STOP command deletes it.


Cost of Raising a Child in China
ID-10055547The Chinese economy has been flourishing at a rapid rate. However along with the steady economic progress, the cost of living in China has also been growing over the years. The higher cost of living in China is such a stark reality for its citizens that when in 2013 the Chinese government eased up on 'one child policy', it raised concerns among the people.
If the cost of raising children in China is a matter of anxiety for its citizens, how does it affect the expatriate community in China?
The concerns
Bringing up kids is not an easy thing to do, even when parents do not have any financial or personal problems. There are a million things that could go wrong or there is always a nagging feeling at the back of parents' mind if they are doing all they can for their children. This is a part of parenting. However, the parenting anxieties could double if you are living the life of an expat and need to raise your kids in a foreign country. The concerns could more than double if you are living in a country like China where the cost of living is very high and expats face language barriers as well as strong cultural traditions.
If you are raising children in China, you must already be aware of the problems and concerns of being a new parent in a foreign country. After the announcement by the Chinese government allowing couples to have a second child if one spouse is an only child, there have been a flurry of surveys and opinions running rampant in the media. To some Chinese couples the announcement means nothing, as they believe raising one child has been tough enough. So how does higher cost of living affect foreigners raising their children in China.
The expenses
In all the surveys conducted, the high cost of education has been cited as the number one concern by parents. The figures floating around indicate that the cost of one kindergarten semester alone costs about 10,000 yuan. While middle class families are spending about 100,000 yuan for education alone and well-off families up to 300,000 and this doesn't include university cost; this calls for serious planning and savings on the part of parents who are raising their children in China.
Other expenses like food and insurance for kids also run into thousands of yuan. And let's not forget the hospital bills if you are giving birth in China. So if you are a new parent who would be raising children in China or giving birth to your first kid in China, it would help you a great deal if you to research and plan for the things you wish to have for your child and to save money accordingly. Every family's budget is different, so each family's plan will look different.

Can I use the Pololu Jrk Motor Controller with Feedback to control a window motor and use it as a steering servo for a power wheels. Basically can I programt the controller to run directly off a RC receiver and to have a center point, then be able to turn the motor both directions about 90 degrees? I hope this makes since.
Yes: for input, the jrk can be directly connected to an RC receiver.
For output/feedback, the jrk can control the position of a motor as long as you have an analog feedback signal that represents the position of the motor. Do you have a potentiometer that turns when your motor turns? If so, the jrk can control the position of that motor if you configure it correctly.
The feedback and input scaling settings of the jrk will let you set the center points.

Location:Dacia School in Oradea, RomaniaPartial solar eclipses happen when the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, but they don't align in a perfectly straight line. Because of this, the Moon only partially covers the Sun's disc.
In Oradea, Eclipse started at 10:44, with a maximum at 11:53 (local time). The end of eclipse was at 13:03. About 1000 students of Dacia School looked through telescope a part of solar disc covered by Moon.

Tunnel-making, boring war machine
|Physical and technical specifications|
|Usage and history|
Groundborers were large machines used for creating tunnels manufactured by Akin-Dower. They were used to provide a quick shelter on dangerous worlds. A group of wealthy Naddists purchased several for use in the Freedon Nadd Uprising, where Warb Null attacked the city of Iziz on Onderon using modified versions of the Akin-Dower groundborers. After this attack, they were known as Onderonian War Machines.

Reader question: "I have read that you need to leave your ball python alone when it's going through a shed. How soon after a shed can I handle my ball python?"
You can handle it immediately after a shed. You don't have to worry much about it, after the snake has shed. The hands-off period occurs before the ball python sheds — not after.
When the snake first starts to go "blue," it will start hiding more than usual. Its eyes will get cloudy, and the skin tone will become darker. This is a normal part of the shedding process. This is when you should avoid handling the ball python. The snake's eyes will have an opaque layer over them, so it won't be able to see very well. Handling at this time can cause the animal stress. How would you like to be picked up by something you couldn't see?
Ball pythons feel vulnerable when they're going through a shed cycle. That's why you should avoid handling them, until after they shed.
When your snake goes into the "blue" phase leading up to a shed, you might want to increase the relative humidity inside the enclosure. Snakes use moisture to separate the old skin layer from the underlying layer. That's why it's so important to keep your ball python well hydrated — it helps them shed properly, all in one piece.
You can handle the ball python anytime after a shed. Just leave it alone when it's going into the shed. If you have additional questions about ball python care, you can download our e-book on the subject. You can also post a question to our Q&A forum.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations, inherited and somatically acquired, are common in clinical prostate cancer. We have developed model systems designed to study specific mtDNA mutations in controlled experiments. Because prostate cancer frequently metastasizes to bone we tested the hypothesis that mtDNA mutations enhance prostate cancer growth and survival in the bone microenvironment. METHODS. The pathogenic nucleotide position (np) 8993 mDNA mutation was introduced into PC3 prostate cancer cells by cybrid formation. Wild-type and mutant cybrids were grown as nude mouse subcutaneous xenografts with or without bone stromal cell co-inoculation. Cybrids were also grown in the intratibial space. Tumor growth was assayed by direct tumor measurement and luciferase chemiluminescence. Gene expression was assayed using cDNA microarrays confirmed by real time PCR, western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS. Cybrids with the 8,993 mtDNA mutation grew faster than wild-type cybrids. Further growth acceleration was demonstrated in the bone microenvironment. A 37 gene molecular signature characterized the growth advantage conferred by the mtDNA mutation and bone microenvironment. Two genes of known importance in clinical prostate cancer, FGF1 and FAK, were found to be substantially upregulated only when both mtDNA mutation and bone stromal cell were present. CONCLUSIONS. The ATP6 np 8,993 mtDNA mutation confers a growth advantage to human prostate cancer that is most fully manifest in the bone microenvironment. The identification of specific molecular alterations associated with mtDNA mutation and growth in bone may allow new understanding of prostate cancer bone metastasis.

Water quality violations can range from minor incidents, such as car washing, to large spills from an overturned vehicle. Water quality violations can also come from multiple sources, including roadways, underground problems, failing septic systems or hazardous materials stored outside and uncovered from the rain.


text: The nutrient intakes and circulating vitamin levels of 32 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who were treated with methotrexate were evaluated over a 6-month period. Dietary data were obtained and blood was drawn prior to the initiation of and following 12 and 24 weeks of methotrexate therapy. More than 50% of the patients had food intakes providing less than 67% of the recommended dietary allowance for zinc, vitamin E, folic acid, pyridoxine, and magnesium. Patients 51 years or older had better nutrient intakes than patients less than 51 years. Of the patients, 22% consumed vitamin supplements at the time they were recruited for the study. Mean circulating vitamin levels measured over the 6-month period were within normal limits. Our findings agree with previously published reports that patients with rheumatoid arthritis particularly the subpopulation taking methotrexate, consume diets that are marginal in some nutrients. Additional research needs to be done to identify more sensitive nutrient assays and to establish more definitively the nutrient needs of patients with rheumatoid arthritis taking several therapeutic agents.

What is a pizza peel made out of?
Metal pizza peels are usually made out of aluminum and are generally the best option for retrieving baked pizzas from the oven. The paddles on these peels are thinner than their wooden counterparts, allowing them to more easily slip under pizza crusts.
How thick should a pizza peel be?
Ideally, you're looking for something in the 1-3 mm (3/64-1/8 inch) range. Wooden peels, tend to be thicker since you can't make the wood as thin as metal. A wooden peel works great for transferring the pizza into the oven, but it's less ideal to get it out.
Should I oil my pizza peel?
Should you oil a pizza peel? No you don't need to. A pizza peel should be grease and moisture free to allow the pizza to slide off easily. You should not put any seasoning coating because the wood is porous and absorbs moisture to stop the dough sticking.
What type of pizza peel is best?
Here are the best pizza peels
- Best pizza peel overall: New Star Foodservice 50295 Restaurant-Grade Wooden Pizza Peel.
- Best innovative pizza peel: EXO Non-Stick Super Peel Pro Composite.
- Best metal pizza peel: American Metalcraft 3016 Extra Large Blade Pizza Peel, 30 Inch.
What can you use if you don't have a pizza peel?
The 6 Best Pizza Peel Substitutes
- Rimless Cookie Sheet. This common household item is perhaps the best replacement for a pizza peel.
- Upside Down Rimmed Baking Sheet. If you 're not an avid baker, you may not have a rimless cookie sheet on hand.
- Parchment Paper.
- Cutting Board.
- Serving Platter.
Do you need a pizza peel with a pizza stone?
Because you heat the stone with the oven and place the pizza directly on the stone, it is essential to use a pizza peel when cooking with a pizza stone.
Can you make a pizza peel out of plywood?
The fastest and easiest way to make a peel is with a piece of plywood. Find a scrap piece of quality plywood. 3/8″ or 1/2″ thick works well. Avoid temptation to stain your new peel – the heat and pizza ingredients work best with an unfinished surface.
What makes a good pizza peel?
Wood is the classic material for a pizza peel because it effectively prevents the dough from sticking. It also works well as a cutting board for your pizza once it's done baking. However, a wooden peel can warp and absorb stains and smells over time. Many are somewhat bulky, so they can be difficult to handle.
Does Walmart have pizza peels?
Our pizza peel is perfectly used for transferring pizzas,breads,pastries and so on. Its wooden handle is for easy and convenient to grip,and it could protect your hands from being burnt by hot oven.It has compact size and simple structures,very easy to clean.
Can you cut pizza on a pizza peel?
Pizza peels come in three basic materials: Wood is also the best material to prevent sticking of raw pizza dough—essential for inserting a raw pizza into the oven without disturbing the toppings. You can also cut and serve your pizza directly off the peel without damaging your knife or pizza wheel.
Why is my pizza sticking to the peel?
If your dough is a little cold or sticky for some reason, it may stick to the peel at the oven's entrance. You may want to sprinkle some cornmeal on the peel instead. Any of thesematerials make for an effective peel dust. My personal favorite is a blend of equal parts cornmeal, semolina flour and regular pizza flour.
What kind of oil do you use on a pizza peel?
Apply a thin layer of food-grade mineral oil to the face of your pizza peel before its first use. This will seal and protect the wood, which makes your pizza peel last longer. Allow the oil to sit until it's fully soaked into the wood. Do not use olive or vegetable oil, which can become rancid.


Concrete @ your Fingertips
Friction between concrete and sub-base
Friction between the underside of a concrete slab and the sub-base will reduce the slabs capacity to move. This may result in tensile stresses that cause restraint cracking of the slab.
The expression used to calculate the force required to overcome friction is;
Ff = wu, where Ff is the frictional force, w is the weight of the slab and u is the coefficient of friction.
Typically the value of u between concrete and sub-base is 0.7. This can be improved to 0.2 by having a plastic sheet between the concrete and sub-base.

Ronald Francis "Ron" Clements (born April 25, 1953) is an American animation director, screenwriter and producer. He often collaborates with fellow director John Musker.
Life and career
Clements was born in Sioux City, Iowa, the son of Gertrude (née Gereau) and Joseph Clements.
Clements began his career as an animator for Hanna-Barbera. After a few months there, he was accepted into Disney's Talent Development Program, an animator training ground and workshop. After that, he served a two-year apprenticeship with famed animator Frank Thomas, a supervising animator in classic Disney films such as Peter Pan (1953), Lady and the Tramp (1955), and The Aristocats (1970). Clements made his feature debut as a character animator on The Rescuers and Pete's Dragon in 1977. In 1981, he became the supervising animator on The Fox and the Hound. Future partner John Musker worked as a character animator under him, and Clements later teamed up with Musker as story artists on The Black Cauldron before they were removed from the project. In 1982, Clements proposed adapting children's book series Basil of Baker Street by Eve Titus into an animated feature and, along with story artist Pete Young, it was pitched to Ron Miller. Because the animators were displeased with the direction of The Black Cauldron was heading, Basil of Baker Street was approved as an alternative project.Burny Mattinson and Musker were assigned as the original directors while Dave Michener was brought in as an additional director. Due to a shortened production schedule and multiple story rewrites, Roy E. Disney assigned Mattinson to serve as director/producer while Clements was brought in as another director.

For imports coming from tensorflow.keras with tensorflow 2 I am unable to reproduce your issue; for me, upon being built, the model in your example yields a model summary with the output names as desired. Similarly, using the functional and sequential apis in a similar way works fine for me. If you'd like, I'm happy to write an answer describing how to verify this. If you are using the same imports as me, in what verifiable sense is your code not changing the output names? $\endgroup$ May 18 '20 at 21:43
 - $\begingroup$ I am using tensorflow.keras with tensorflow 2.2 but my output names are output_1, output_2, ... i checked it in kaggle notebook and even in my local computer and i have this issue in both cases. @It'sRecreational $\endgroup$

 - $\begingroup$ Huh, that is odd. In what sense are your output names output_1 and output_2? When you instantiate model = MyModel() and call model.summary()? Or in another context? If you can provide more details about your setup and what precise code is yielding output that is unintended, I can try to be of more help. $\endgroup$ May 19 '20 at 1:25

I also have this issue, but didn't have the answer with a customized Model. There is a workaround as follows:
 model = Model(inputs=inputs,
 outputs={'ctr_output': ctr_pred, 'ctcvr_pred': ctcvr_pred, 'cvr_output': cvr_pred})
$\endgroup$

$\begingroup$
maybe this is better in your case:
class MyModel(Model):
 def __init__(self):
 super(MyModel, self).__init__()
 self.layer_one = Dense(1, name='output_name_one')
 self.layer_two = Dense(1, name='output_name_two')
 def call(self, inputs):
 output_name_one = self.layer_one(inputs)
 output_name_two = self.layer_two(inputs)
 return {'custom_name_one': output_name_one,'custom_name_two': output_name_two}

NASA Puts New World Cup Ball to the Test
Dr. Rabi Mehta uses smoke and lasers to inspect the flow pattern around an adidas Brazuca football.
NASA Ames Research Center
Knuckle is a word without many positive connotations. Thugs use brass knuckles; people knuckle under to pressure; knuckle-dragging has never been a cool-looking locomotion technique; knuckle balls drive baseball hitters crazy; and soccer balls can "knuckle," flying through the air with an unpredictability that can earn the enmity of players.
The 2010 World Cup ball, the Jabulani, had a knuckling problem. If it was kicked with none or very little spin it would fly unpredictably. Simply put, it took some pretty crazy flight paths through the air.
To address those concerns, adidas for the 2014 Cup created the Brazuca, which, the company hoped, would handle better, and provide a truer flight path, than the Jabulani.
PHOTOS: World Cup 2014: How the Soccer Ball Has Evolved
The Brazuca has only six panels, where the Jabulani had eight. But the seams are longer and deeper. The panels are also covered with small bumps. The overall result is a rougher ball, one built to decease the incidence of knuckling at regular kicking speeds.
Did adidas succeed? Is the Brazuca an improved soccer ball, truer in flight? The folks at NASA -- no slouches when it comes to testing objects in flight -- decided to find out.
Rabi Mehta, chief of the Experimental Aero-Physics Branch at NASA's Ames Research Center, set out to study the aerodynamics of the Brazuca. (Aerodynamics, in simple terms for we ordinary civilians, looks at how air and fluid flow around something. That something could be an airplane, a satellite or a soccer ball.)
Mehta put the Brazuca through its paces in a 2x2 wind tunnel, which blew air past the ball at varying speeds. To increase visibility of the air path around the ball, the team used a controlled flow of laser-lighted smoke over the ball's surface (see photo below).
A close up of the Brazuca ball in Ames' Fluid Mechanics Laboratory's two-foot by two-foot wind tunnel. Smoke highlighted by lasers visualizes air flow around the ball.

What Mehta wanted to find was the speed at which the smoke pattern made an abrupt change, which would show the speed at which knuckling occurred.
The fanciful Jabulani, from 2010, knuckled at about 50 miles per hour, which is right in the typical kicking speed zone of a skilled World Cup striker. So the "ordinary" speed of play in 2010 saw some quite extraordinary ball behavior.
By contrast, Mehta found the new Brazuca to maximum-knuckle at a much slower speed of around 30 miles per hour, well below regular ball-striking speeds. (The traditional 32-panel soccer ball -- the kind we're all used to seeing -- also knuckles at around 30 miles per hour, Mehta observed.)
"The materials used, the ball's surface roughness and its distribution determines its aerodynamics," said Mehta. The rougher surface of the Brazuca had decreased the knuckling effect seen in the smoother Jabulani.
The net result? The Brazuca should offer a more predictable flight path. "The players should be happier with the new ball," said Mehta. "It is more stable in flight and will handle more like a traditional 32-panel ball."

Expand Macros
Rust makes extensive use of metaprogramming through its support for both declarative macros and procedural macros. Both of these allow you to avoid repeating similar code, but through different mechanisms. Declarative macros work like a pattern matching and replacement mechanisms, allowing you to define your own expansions. Procedural macros, on the other hand, are more complex: they work by you writing a little Rust program, which is called with the input (as parsed tokens), and are able to perform any kinds of substitutions on it.
These mechanisms are very powerful, allowing you to achieve very complex things. For example, often times Prodecural macros are used to derive trait implementations for your structs, as is the case with serde.
However, this has the downside that the code you write is not the code that gets compiled: first, it is expanded by invoking the macro. When you are trying to debug macro-heavy code, this can be an issue, because you cannot see what the compiler actually gets as input.
Cargo Expand
For this reason, cargo expand exists, which is a Cargo plugin that allows you to view your code after macro expansion. It does some other nice things, such as formatting and syntax-highlighting your code for easier consumption.

South Mimms is a village and civil parish in the Hertsmere district of Hertfordshire in the East of England. It is a small settlement located near to the junction of the M25 motorway with the A1(M) motorway and is perhaps more widely known because of the naming of the service station at that junction.
South Mimms parish was the northernmost part of the county of Middlesex. The name is thought to derive from the name of a tribe who once inhabited the area. Potters Bar was originally a small settlement in the parish. Potters Bar became the location of the nearest railway station and eventually became much larger.
The parish was split in 1894 under the Local Government Act 1894 with the extreme southern tip forming South Mimms Urban parish in the Barnet Urban District and was transferred to Hertfordshire. This area now forms part of the London Borough of Barnet. The rest of the parish became the South Mimms Rural District, later renamed the Potters Bar Urban District.
The Grange, a country house in South Mimms, served as a home for Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands during her exile during World War II, from 1940. On 20 February 1944, a German air attack on South Mimms narrowly missed her, killing two of her guards, an incident mentioned in her autobiography. This prompted her move to a house near Reading.
St Giles' Church, South Mimms
The Grade I listed parish church of South Mimms is dedicated to Saint Giles. It is situated on the west side of the village. It has a chancel with north vestry and chapel, nave with north aisle and south porch, and west tower. Except for the north aisle and chapel, which are partly of brick, the walls are of flint rubble with stone dressings.
The chancel, or at least its western part, is of the 13th century; the east end may be an extension of the earlier 14th century, the date of the east window. It is not structurally divided from the nave, which appears to have been rebuilt at the end of the 14th century, the date of the windows and doorway in the south wall. The three-stage tower was added c. 1450 and has a western doorway and an external stair turret. The north chapel and aisle, with their arcades of two and four bays, were built in the early 16th century and the latter was apparently complete by 1526, when the stained glass windows depicting its donors were in place. The whole church appears to have been richly provided with stained glass of the medieval period. The chapel, which may be a little older than the aisle, is enclosed by wooden screens decorated with the leopard's head badge of Frowyk. There was formerly a late medieval rood screen.
The chancel was in disrepair in 1685, when it was ordered that the communion table be railed in. By the 18th century all the medieval glass, except the lower part of four panels in the north aisle, had gone and the chancel, nave, and aisle had flat plaster ceilings. Then the walls and the screens of the Frowyk chapel were all whitewashed. There was a gallery for children at the west end, extending some way along both sides of the nave, and there were box pews, a lofty pulpit, and a reading desk. The royal arms were 'placed where the rood had been'. Externally, the south porch was of classical design and the tower was covered in ivy.
The lead roof of the nave was replaced by slates in 1823 and the gabled roof of the chantry by a flat leaded roof and a battlement before 1849. In 1846 a flint-and-brick wall was built at the west end of the church and Lord Salisbury, as lay rector, was asked to repair the chancel. In 1848 he still had not done so and the vestry resolved on legal proceedings. By 1876 the fabric was causing concern and the vestry accordingly appointed George Edmund Street to carry out a complete restoration. The church was re-opened in 1878, after the plaster had been stripped from the exterior, a south porch built, and a battlement added to the south wall to give height to the nave. Inside, the lath-and-plaster ceilings were taken out but the timber roof of the aisle was preserved; whitewash and white paint were removed, the box pews were replaced by oak ones based on the design of two which had survived from the 16th century, and a stone pulpit and an oak roodloft were installed. No stained glass had been introduced into the church since 1541, but in 1889 the central light of the east window was filled with Munich glass and in 1894 more stained glass was inserted.
In 1552 the church possessed a pair of organs. A barrel organ had been introduced in 1813, although the innovation was not welcomed by all the parishioners, and a new organ was built in the chantry in 1889. The square baptismal font dates from the 13th century and has 14th-century panelling on the pier. Its cover, designed by Sir Ninian Comper in 1938, is supported on four gilt pillars.
The notable collection of monuments includes 15th- to 18th-century brasses to members of the Frowyk, Ewer, Harrison, Hodsden, and Ketterick families, including one commemorating Thomas Frowyk (d. 1448), his wife, and nineteen children. Wall-monuments include an early-17th-century memorial, with a death's-head and carrying the arms of the Nowell family, and memorials to William Adams by Thomas Denman and Mary Dakin by William Spratt. There are 17th-century floor-slabs to the families of Norbury, Marsh, Howkins, Adderley, and Ewer, and a canopied altar-tomb with some Renaissance features, perhaps that of Henry Frowyk (d. 1527). In the north chapel there is a canopied tomb in an earlier style bearing the arms of Frowyk impaled with those of Throckmorton, Aske, Knollys, and Lewknor, and with an effigy of a man in armour adorned with the Frowyk leopard's head; it is probably that of Henry's son Thomas, who died by 1527. The churchyard contains a large monument to Sir John Austen, MP (d. 1742).
South Mimms Castle
The remains of a motte and bailey castle are situated 1.25 kilometres northwest of the village, consisting of a circular mound about 9 metres high by 35 m across, in the corner of a kidney-shaped inner bailey about 125 m long. Traces of an outer bailey survive to the south of the site. The castle is thought to have been built by Geoffrey de Mandeville, 1st Earl of Essex in about 1141 during The Anarchy, a period of civil war between the forces of the Empress Matilda and those of King Stephen. The site was only identified in 1918 and was excavated in 1960-67 by Dr John Kent. These works found that the wooden keep, a large framed tower with tapered sides, had been built on the natural ground level and the motte had been piled up against it afterwards, using spoil from the ditch. The sides of the motte had originally been revetted with wood, so that only a timber wall would have been visible. Entrance to the tower was through a tunnel at the base of the motte. The castle was probably destroyed in 1143, but finds at the site suggest that occupation continued for a time afterwards. The castle remains are on private land and there is no public access, although a public footpath runs close to the site.

Mass Death of Bees in Bulgaria's Dobrudzha
Over a thousand hives have been affected by the mass death of bees in Zafirovo, a village situated in Bulgaria's north-eastern region of Dobrudzha.
Hristo Tsonev, a beekeeper in Zafirovo for the last 20 years, described the phenomenon as "unprecedented", as he was quoted by Bulgaria's television channel bTV.
He also said many bees were displaying strange behavior, as for instance some could not make their way back to their hives and were going around in circles, looking disoriented.
Some beekeepers suggest the recent events are related to the use of illicit substances sprayed on crops, but scientists are yet to explore the reasons.
The mass death of bees has lately been a concern around the world, with some regions fearing an environmental and agricultural disaster if mortality among the insects keeps at its current pace.
EU lawmakers introduced last year restrictions on the use of pesticides harmful for bees, and Bulgarian MEPs were among those backing the decision.

I have an iPad app that contains a webview. The webview's page has a button on it that, when clicked, needs to somehow tell the native app to close the webview. Is there any way to do this? i.e. a way for the javascript in the webview to pass messages to the native app, and vice-versa?

Maybe have an NSNotification fire when an NSString instance field is changed. Use the post here to help understand how to communicate between JavaScript and Objective-C.
Then, it is just a matter of notification and string logic:
Steps for JavaScript to Objective-C:
 1. Web view button is pressed.
 2. JavaScript fires method which returns string.
 3. Local NSString is updated to denote button in Web view was pressed (see post above).
 4. NSNotification fires based on string change.
 5. Objective-C closes the Web view.
Not sure what you want to pass back to the Web view from Objective-C, but the above post should help.

You can consider using -webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType:. Create a dummy link which you can identify and close the web view. As for the other way round, _USER_'s answer sounds appropriate.
share|improve this answer
You can attach any action using
- (NSString *)stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:(NSString *)script
that detects the javascript from your webview!
Here is the doc: _URL_
share|improve this answer
I think the best way is using pseudo image instead.
JS will insert a new image such as: _URL_
And your webview will override NSURLCache to retrieve 1x1 transparent image and parse parameters from you web content.
Note that NSURLCache only cache only one times, so please generate new timestamp for each calls.
This way is work for my project and call native iOS app immediately.

Zhang J, Mitra S, Suo Y, Cheng A, Xiong T, Michon F, Welkenhuysen M, Kloosterman F, Chin PS, Hsiao S, Tran TD, Yazicioglu F and Etienne-Cummings R A closed-loop compressive-sensing-based neural recording system Journal of Neural Engineering 12(3):036005 (2015)
This paper describes a low power closed-loop compressive sensing (CS) based neural recording system. This system provides an efficient method to reduce data transmission bandwidth for implantable neural recording devices. By doing so, this technique reduces a majority of system power consumption which is dissipated at data readout interface. The design of the system is scalable and is a viable option for large scale integration of electrodes or recording sites onto a single device.
The entire system consists of an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) with 4 recording readout channels with CS circuits, a real time off-chip CS recovery block and a recovery quality evaluation block that provides a closed feedback to adaptively adjust compression rate. Since CS performance is strongly signal dependent, the ASIC has been tested in vivo and with standard public neural databases.
Implemented using efficient digital circuit, this system is able to achieve >10 times data compression on the entire neural spike band (500-6KHz) while consuming only 0.83uW (0.53 V voltage supply) additional digital power per electrode. When only the spikes are desired, the system is able to further compress the detected spikes by around 16 times. Unlike other similar systems, the characteristic spikes and inter-spike data can both be recovered which guarantes a >95% spike classification success rate. The compression circuit occupied 0.11mm(2)/electrode in a 180nm CMOS process. The complete signal processing circuit consumes <16uW/electrode.
Power and area efficiency demonstrated by the system make it an ideal candidate for integration into large recording arrays containing thousands of electrode. Closed-loop recording and reconstruction performance evaluation further improves the robustness of the compression method, thus making the system more practical for long term recording.

Local or Migrant: Which Is Which?
When robins start moving, how do you know which ones are your "own" local robins and which are migrants just passing through?
You can usually tell by their appearance unless they have been banded or color-marked. Male robins from Newfoundland and Labrador are darker than other robins. They have almost black backs, brighter red underparts, more noticeable striping on the white throat, and a bolder eye-ring. People farther south in Canada and the U.S. may notice the difference when they spot one of these robins; then they'll know for sure that these are the northern race rather than their own breeding robins. Many magazine photos of winter robins show these brightly colored ones, which make a lovely contrast against snow-covered branches and orange berries.
If you keep your ears peeled, you may be able to hear the difference between local and migrant robins. Male robins that intend to remain in your area will sing their territorial song. Robins that are passing through will occasionally sing, but not as often (especially at dawn); they tend to remain fairly quiet.
