National Dog Biscuit Day
National Dog Biscuit Day
National Dog Biscuit Day is nothing to turn your nose up at. After all, if it wasn't for this national day, your dog may not know "biscuits or "treats" as he knows them today. National Dog Biscuit Day is celebrated annually on February 23rd
Dog biscuits were not always called "biscuits". In fact, way back in the 1800's, biscuits or treats as we now know them, were referred to as dog bread. The name came to fruition due to the fact that dogs were indeed served bread. Not just any bread though, dogs were given the bread that was deemed not edible for human consumption. Day old, hard, moldy ….well, you get the picture. So, the bread was quite literally thrown to the dogs! They took what they could get, but one very important person came along that would change what was thrown to the dogs altogether.
"Necessity is the mother of invention" ~ Plato
James Pratt created the very first dog biscuit after a sad sight on a fateful trip to England. It all began in the middle of the 1800's. He saw the suffering of stray dogs in search of any old scraps of left of food. These poor dogs were literally scavengers. James Pratt was compelled to created edible, made for consumption cake-like biscuits. These biscuits were made of meat, grains and vegetables. He called these early biscuits "Meat Fibrine Cakes". He began selling these cakes to Englishmen for dogs, specifically sporting dogs. He then began to market his cakes at dog shows in America. Interestingly enough his biscuits dog cakes were given to army dogs during World War I. Now, the bone shaped biscuits that dogs have come to know love, milk bones, were created in 1907. Milk Bone was eventually bought out by Nabisco in 1931 and subsequently taken over by Genera Mills in 1950.
The Biscuit Industry has Exploded
Now more than ever, the market for dog biscuits has exploded. Dogs everywhere are begging for more and their pet parents are giving right in! Varieties of dog biscuits exist for every possible reason and taste bud. Every texture and every flavor can be found in pet shops across the world, but why?
Most domesticated dogs no longer have to scavenge for "bread" or "biscuits", but present day biscuits, or treats, are used in a variety of ways.
 1. Chewing is a natural way for dogs to get their energy out. Many treats are made specifically to keep your dog occupied and focused for a period of time. We all have experienced just what happens when a dog becomes bored! He will find something to chew on and it's usually not one of his own belongings.
 2. Similarly, chewing does mimic the brushing action of a tooth brush. This means your dog can chew on a treat and have his teeth cleaned at the exact same time. Two for the price of one! These treats are specifically marketed as dental chews although, many treats or chews can achieve the very same result.
 3. Dog treats of biscuits are also used for training. Pet parents everywhere learn early on the power of their pet's favorite treat. Most dogs will do exactly as you say if they know that the potential for a treat exists. Learning basic commands and tricks all of a sudden becomes relevant for a dog that has experienced receiving treats as a reward!
 4. Just because! If you have never given your dog a treat just because he's cute and you love him more than just about anything else then, well, you're lying! Just as our dog openly expresses his love to us, we do our best to do the same and often time that means giving treats, toys, and snuggles "just because". The only downfall with this is that some dogs end up a little too pudgy for their own good. Moderation is key!
How will you celebrate National Dog Biscuit Day this year?
Why not celebrate by giving a nod to Mr. James Pratt? Dogs in need everywhere would love a good treat. Reach out to your favorite shelter, rescue or pet sitter and donate treats. Often times in our effort to donate, we always send things that dogs need. Why not add treats to that list because most dogs in shelter or rescue situations could use a little boost and what a great way to do so.
After you donate, why not try your hand at baking just like James Pratt. You won't need to start from "scratch" either (no pun intended). Treat recipes can be found all over the internet and in book stores these days. Many recipes are easy to whip up and require only a few ingredients. It doesn't get much easier. In fact, many treat recipes are "no bake". Just mix the ingredients and freeze or refrigerate. Well, what are you waiting for?
We hope you never look at dog treats the same again! Now, go give your dog a treat!

Other neat features in Eudora Pro 4.2 can be accessed via URLs. Here are a few of my favorites:
 - You can double-click a URL to open it in the appropriate program. But, with the setting below, you can Command-click a URL to open it in the background without switching out of Eudora. It's a great way to open a bunch of URLs from TidBITS for browsing after reading the issue. You can also Command-click partial URLs like _URL_ and ftp.tidbits.com and Eudora will try to open them in the appropriate helper application. And, although this isn't new, you can Command-click email addresses to create a new message addressed to that person.
 - If something crashes while you're writing a message, you can lose a fair amount of work. Eudora has an auto-save function, though it's not turned on by default. Double-click this URL to make Eudora save messages every 120 seconds.
 - The default settings for the size of the preview panes may not work well with larger monitors. The first URL below sets the default size of the preview pane, in number of lines, and the second one sets the minimum number of lines for either the preview pane or the summary pane. Play with different numbers for these settings and see what works best for you.
 - Although Eudora allows spaces in nicknames, Eudora still tries to replace spaces with underscores when you're creating nicknames. You can override that behavior with this URL. Double-click it, and in the dialog box change the third character from an underscore to a space.
 - If you dislike the new format=flowed display of excerpt bars rather than angle brackets after giving it a chance, you can revert by double-clicking this URL.
Discussion Rampant -- The TidBITS Talk discussions of various aspects of Eudora have ranged far and wide, with numerous people weighing in on the bits of Eudora they like or dislike. Eudora being the program that it is, people posting complaints about how Eudora does something have often received tips on how Eudora can in fact meet their needs; check out the various threads relating to Eudora and you may learn even more about this deep program.

How Zella Got Her Name
Kimberly Maynor
Zella is named after her grandmother, Zenaren Zimmarue Blevins. Zella's mother, Sarahann Susie Sulvanus (spelling? ) Day, was forcibly kidnapped from her mother, Zimmarue, by Catherine'Caty' Harris and Ambrose Day because Zimmarue was a Cherokee. Zella wrote a letter detailing how the Day's plotted the kidnapping since Myron Sulvanus Day, Zella's grandfather, died 3 months before Susie was born. The excuse, they didnt want Susie "raised indian". Zella was given her grandmother's middle name.

Kids exploring parks
Natural places, such as parks, are a source of health and wellbeing for adults and children.
Time in nature has been associated with positive impacts on mental health, stress reduction, obesity, creativity, imagination, and connection to ourselves and the world around us.
Being outdoors gives children the chance to explore, to engage in imaginative play, and to learn about their surroundings, which you just can't get in front of a screen.
Kangaroo Island parks provides a wonderful space for children to explore and play.
Learning about these natural environments can help us understand, appreciate, and protect them. The kids exploring parks packs are a great way to get out into nature and be inspired by all the things you will discover!

HOW SOIL AFFECT THE VEGETATION OF A PLACE OR ENVIRONMENT
HOW SOIL AFFECT THE VEGETATION OF A PLACE OR ENVIRONMENT
Soil is define as the uppermost layer of the earth crust
which provides support and nutrient for growth.
The soil is also a habitat for some animal species.
Before we look at the effect of soil on types of vegetation, we have to know what constitute soil. So there are three major types of soil, they are
a. Sandy soil
b. Loamy soil
c. Clay soil
Each of these types of soil varies in their ability to retain water necessary for plant and vegetative growth.
The types of soil found in a place can be a mixture of one or more
of the various soil types.
So let us take a proper look at the types of soil and they affect the vegetation of an environment. Here
1.
THE EFFECT OF SANDY SOIL ON VEGETATION
SANDY SOIL
A soil is to be sandy if the sand particles contained in the sample of soil is high. The particles sand are mainly quartz, and having a size of around 0.2mm to 2.0mm in diameter.
i. THE EFFECT OF SANDY SOL ON VEGETATION
Sandy soil is very low in plant nutrient due to the effect of leaching, which is the result of too much spaces between the pores of the particles, hence supports scanty vegetation or grassland. In other words, sandy soil is not good for farming activities.
2.
THE EFFECT OF CLAY SOIL ON VEGETATION
CLAY SOIL
A soil is said to be clayey if the proportion of clay in sample of soil is very high. The relative size of clay particle is less than 0.oo2mm in diameter. Clay soil is very heavy hence it very difficult to work on or cultivate.
I.
CLAY EFFECT ON PLANTS
Due to the fact that clay soil has the ability to retain water, it also has the capacity to retain little amount of plant nutrients. So clay soil can only support a few variety of plants such as savanna or shrubs and some luxuriant vegetation
3.
THE EFFECT OF LOAMY SOIL ON VEGETATION
Loamy soil is a mixture of sand and clay particles with high proportion of organic matter. Loamy soil is more fertile than either sandy or clay soil. Anytime we describe a portion of soil as sandy loam is means the soil contains more sand particle than loam, but if it is described as lay loam it means the proportion of clay is very high.
i.
EFFECTS OF LOAM ON VEGETATION
Loamy soil is by no doubt the best type of soil for farming activities as it contains large amount of plant nutrient hence it supports plant life effectively
WHAT ARE THE FACTORS AFFECTING WATER HOLDING CAPACITY OF THE SOIL?
Factors that may affect water retention capacity of soils are but not limited to the following
1.
ORGANIC MATTER CONTENTS:
the organic matter contents of the soil affect the rate at which water is retained. Loamy soil which rich in organic materials has more water retention capacity than sandy soil.
2.
SIZE OF SOIL PARTICLES:
sizes of soil particle also affects the soil ability to retain water. The smaller the particles, the higher the rate of water retention. So the clay soil has a higher capacity of water retention because of its fine and small particles.
3.
SOIL TEXTURE:
the soil texture, which is the degree of fineness or coarseness of the soil particles has a lot of influence on the water holding capacity of the soil. Clay soil has fine particles, hence it can retain water that a coarse sandy soil
4.
CLAY CONTENT OF THE SOIL:
the amount of clay present in any type of soil goes a long way to determine its water retention capacity. The higher the amount of clay in a soil sample, the higher the retention capacity of that soil
5.
MINERAL SALTS AND PH:
the amount of mineral salts in the soil determines the amount of water the soil can retain. High levels of mineral salts leads to high level of pH which supports high rate of water retention but when the pH is low, the mineral salts are disintegrated and subsequently lower the water retention capacity

Cat and Dog Fur Trim
Voice for Animals is against the use of any animal for fur. However, the dog and cat fur issue has strongly captured attention in both the US and in Canada. Every year, around Valentine's Day, Edmonton and other cities across Canada hold a fur protest to raise awareness about this issue.
Most people are unaware that each year over 2 million dogs and cats, sometimes former pets, are brutally slaughtered for the fur trade, mostly in China, Taiwan and the Philippines. Undercover investigations have revealed that cat and dog skins are used to make trim for a variety of products which are shipped all over the world, including Canada.
The investigations have also revealed that the animals are kept in horrendous conditions, such as in unsanitary, cold, cramped and damp cages. Some were beaten, stabbed or strangled before being brutally butchered; some have been skinned alive. Consumers are unaware of this brutal cruelty because the fur-trimmed clothing (including, jackets, hats and gloves), toys, figurines and novelty items they purchase may be trimmed, dyed and processed to look like faux fur; many have also been deliberately mislabeled as "rabbit" or "fox" or other species.
The United States, Australia and the European Union have banned this cruelty. Incredibly, Canada has not enacted legislation banning the import and sale of cat and dog fur; it currently remains legal to import and sell cat and dog fur here! As well, Canada has no legislation that would make the labeling of fur products mandatory. The Canadian Textile and Labelling Act does not require that animal pelts or hides be labeled, so consumers are being deceived about the fur products they buy! Help stop this horrible cruelty and deception.
1. Support Bill C-296 which, if passed, will ban the import and sale of cat and dog fur and will make the labeling of fur products mandatory in Canada.
Download, print and help collect signatures for The Associations for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals' petition (_URL_) to ban the import and sale of all cat and dog fur in Canada and to ensure that all fur products have a label indicating species of origin.
2. Contact your local Member of Parliament and the Prime Minister.
3. Help raise awareness about this issue by ordering and distributing the leaflet: Could you be wearing dog or cat fur? from _URL_ to local junior/high schools, colleges, universities and organizations.
4. Expose the brutality of the fur industry by writing letters to the editor. As well, post links to our website and to
_URL_ on your Facebook page and on other social media.
5. Obtain permission to set up aninformation table/booth at an event. Have leaflets, petitions and other information on it for distribution. Purchase and show the video "Silent Screams" at the event.
6. No animal should be butchered for
their fur. Say NO! to all fur and fur trim products!
Fur Overview
In 1987, Edmonton animal rights activists decided something had to be done about the cruel fur industry. At that time, sales of fur were high and wearing furs was considered prestigious by many. After years of picketing along "fur row" - Jasper Ave. between 103 and 104 St., our efforts started to show results.
The following chart shows the decline in the fur industry in Edmonton since 1988.
Date No. of Retail Fur Stores No. Wholesale & Manuf.
1988 18 9
1991 17 10
1994 13 6
1997 9 6
2000 7 4
2004 3 1
2008 2 1
2013 2 0
The federal government has been very supportive of the fur industry in Canada there have been huge subsidies to the industry paid for by Canadian taxpayers. Attempts to get legislation to protect fur bearing animals have proved futile.
We are therefore focusing on educating the public about the cruelty of the fur industry. By showing pictures of the suffering that both trapped and farmed animals endure and appealing to people's sense of compassion, we hope to put an end to this industry.
Our current campaign against the fur industry is called "Before and After". We want to impress on people that the animals used in the making of fur coats and fur trim are beautiful, sentient creatures that literally have their skin ripped off their back.
Before and After:
The three most common types of traps are:
1. Steel-jaw leg hold traps
2. Conibear or body gripping traps
3. Spring trap
Fur Facts:
Trapping - did you know:
 - Steel-jaw leg hold traps cause excruciating pain, crushing the leg of the animal and often tearing flesh and breaking bones
 - Trapped animals suffer in traps for hours or even days
 - They endure pain, hunger, thirst and exposure to the elements
 - The trapper returns to kill them by crushing their neck or chest or bludgeoning them to death
 - One in four animals caught in a leg hold trap will chew off their limb to escapeFor every animal trapped for its fur another 4 "trash" animals are caught and killed
 - A coat made from a trapped animal uses 3 times as much energy to produce as a synthetic fur coat
Farming - did you know:
 - Animals spend their entire lives confined to tiny, filthy cages
 - The animals are driven to many kinds of abnormal behaviour such as frenetic, repetitive movements, cannibalism and self-mutilation
 - They are killed by anal or vaginal electrocution, neck snapping and gassing, often with inappropriate gas that doesn't always kill the animal and it is skinned while still alive
 - A factory farmed fur coat takes 15 times as much energy to produce as a synthetic fur coat

I need to isolate a word that starts with a hashtag (#) from a string of user input. For example if the user enters "Hi how _TAG_ you today" i need the program to print out "_TAG_".
My thought process was to try to isolate the substring from the index of the # to the next space, but I do not know how to get it to recognize the index of the next space instead of just the first space in the string. So my code for this action looks a little like this right now:
tweet = keyboard.nextLine();
int pos = tweet.indexOf("#");
String hashtag = tweet.substring(pos, " ");
System.out.println("Hashtag: " + hashtag);
ANY advice would be helpful. Also I have not learned about loops or arrays yet so if there is anyway to do this without them that would be great!

SEARCH COMMAND
 This section contains the limitation settings for the search command.
 The settings are organized by type of setting.
[search]
 The settings under the [search] stanza are organized by type of setting.
Batch search
 This section contains settings for batch search.
allow_batch_mode = <boolean>

* Default: true
batch_search_max_index_values = <integer>
* When using batch mode, this limits the number of event entries read from the
 index file. These entries are small, approximately 72 bytes. However batch
 mode is more efficient when it can read more entries at one time.
* Setting this value to a smaller number can lead to slower search performance.

* and running out of memory on the system with concurrently running searches.
* Default: _PHONE_
batch_search_max_pipeline = <integer>
* Controls the number of search pipelines that are
 launched at the indexer during batch search.
* Increasing the number of search pipelines should help improve search
 performance, however there will be an increase in thread and memory usage.
* This setting applies only to searches that run on remote indexers.
* Default: 1
batch_search_max_results_aggregator_queue_size = <integer>
* Controls the size, in MB, of the search results queue to which all
 the search pipelines dump the processed search results.

* Default: 100000000
batch_search_max_serialized_results_queue_size = <integer>
* Controls the size, in MB, of the serialized results queue from which
 the serialized search results are transmitted.
* Increasing the size can lead to search performance gains.
 Decreasing the size can reduce search performance.
* Do not specify zero for this setting.
* Default: 100000000
NOTE: The following batch search settings control the periodicity of retries
 to search peers in the event of failure (Connection errors, and others).
 The interval exists between failure and first retry, as well as
 successive retries in the event of further failures.
batch_retry_min_interval = <integer>
* When batch mode attempts to retry the search on a peer that failed,
 specifies the minimum time, in seconds, to wait to retry the search.
* Default: 5
batch_retry_max_interval = <integer>
* When batch mode attempts to retry the search on a peer that failed,
 specifies the maximum time, in seconds, to wait to retry the search.
* Default: 300 (5 minutes)
batch_retry_scaling = <double>
* After a batch retry attempt fails, uses this scaling factor to increase
 the time to wait before trying the search again.
* The value should be > 1.0.
* Default: 1.5
Bundles
 This section contains settings for bundles and bundle replication.
load_remote_bundles = <boolean>
* On a search peer, allow remote (search head) bundles to be loaded in splunkd.
* Default: false.
replication_file_ttl = <integer>
* The time to live (ttl), in seconds, of bundle replication tarballs,
 for example: *.bundle files.
* Default: 600 (10 minutes)
replication_period_sec = <integer>
* The minimum amount of time, in seconds, between two successive bundle
 replications.
* Default: 60
sync_bundle_replication = [0|1|auto]
* A flag that indicates whether configuration file replication blocks
 searches or is run asynchronously.
* When set to "auto": The Splunk software uses asynchronous
 replication only if all of the peers support asynchronous bundle
 replication.
 Otherwise synchronous replication is used.
* Default: auto
bundle_status_expiry_time = <interval>
* The amount of time the search head waits before purging the status of a knowledge bundle
 push request to the indexer.
* The status is purged either when it is not queried for a period greater than
 this setting or when its associated bundle is deleted by the reaper.
* The interval can be specified as a string for minutes, seconds, hours, days.
 For example; 60s, 1m, 1h, 1d etc.
* Default: 1h
Concurrency
 This section contains settings for search concurrency limits.
base_max_searches = <integer>
* A constant to add to the maximum number of searches, computed as a
 multiplier of the CPUs.
* Default: 6
max_rt_search_multiplier = <decimal number>
* A number by which the maximum number of historical searches is multiplied
 to determine the maximum number of concurrent real-time searches.
* NOTE: The maximum number of real-time searches is computed as:
 max_rt_searches = max_rt_search_multiplier x max_hist_searches
* Default: 1
max_searches_per_cpu = <integer>
* The maximum number of concurrent historical searches for each CPU.

Dividing small businesses in divorce can be difficult, complex and of course contentious. This is usually because the business is the family's largest asset, and the parties may have very different views about what it is worth, as well as their respective shares. One party may believe that the business is failing and is only a fraction of its perceived value, whereas the other party may insist that it is a budding enterprise that is worth much more than is being explained. These views can be especially difficult if only one party primarily owns or operates the business, for the other may believe that they are being denied their fair share of the proceeds.
When emotions drive each party's sense of entitlement, costly litigation is a certainty. However, the following tips can help parties properly value a business, determine how it should be divided in divorce and avoid further acrimony over their rightful share.
First and foremost, it is important to understand the difference between a business as "property" as opposed to "income." A business labeled as property (such as a rental property) is subject to Illinois' asset division laws and will be divided as such. A business known for its income (such as a doctor's private practice) will invariably lead to spousal maintenance payments based on the revenue produced by the business. Some businesses may be considered both "property" and "income." In these instances, the two must be separated to avoid double dipping (i.e., dividing the business and then paying maintenance based on the income from it).
Also, finding the valuation method appropriate for your business is critical. The fair market value method assesses a business' worth by determining what it would sell for on the open market. Essentially, a valuation is reached by comparing values of similar businesses or comparable sales. Some businesses are valued through the capitalization of earnings method, which considers the business' prospective rate of return, its history of earnings and the risks involved. Regardless of the method used, the higher the business value, the more each party stands to receive.
Ultimately, dividing a small business can be a very complicated process. An Illinois divorce attorney with a business background can advise you on what method would be appropriate for your business.

CAC Beardsley Community Farm
Location1719 Reynolds StKnoxville, TN 37921 United States
To empower people by providing gardening resources, nutrition education, and localized food system sustainability.
Beardsley Community Farm sits on the former grounds of Beardsley Junior High School. In 1996, work began to convert the abandoned school grounds to a community garden. The city of Knoxville provided funds to build a greenhouse and the Community Action Committee (CAC) received a grant from the USDA to complete the conversion. Workers and volunteers from CAC and AmeriCorps continue to maintain and cultivate the space today.
Beardsley is an urban demonstration farm that grows organic produce and houses bee colonies and free-range chickens. All the food we grow is donated to local food pantries and others in need of fresh fruits and vegetables. We also work with community members and provide tools to help them grow their own food and learn about the financial and environmental benefits of home food production.
Off the farm, we provide nutrition education in elementary schools and after-school programs to teach kids about food and healthy living. Beardsley Farm is run by a dedicated farm manager, an assistant, and two AmeriCorps members. In addition, we rely on volunteers from the community to help us successfully maintain the farm.
If you are hungry for fresh, delicious vegetables or want to learn about organic gardening, you can enroll in our workshare CSA and volunteer with us in exchange for some fresh produce.
If you are a teacher or club leader, we can arrange for your group to visit the farm and learn about nutrition, the environment and teamwork.
Have other ideas? We will work with you to develop the project that best suits your group. Activities can include art projects, farm tours and assisting with our daily activities, such as watering, planting and harvesting.

I wonder what interesting and non-trivial examples of density Ramsey theorems with explicit asymptotics are there?
I'm aware of two examples: Szemerédi's theorem and density Hales-Jewett theorem.
Let me try to formalize what I mean by "density Ramsey theorems". I'm interested in statements of the following type: for every $k \in \mathbb{N}, \alpha > 0$ there exists $n_0 = n_0(k, \alpha)$ such that if we have a collection of $n \geq n_0$ objects, then whatever $\alpha n$ objects we take there are $k$ among them that form a "nice" structure. Collections and niceness are problem-specific of course: in case of Szemerédi's theorem they are $\lbrace 1, 2, \ldots, n\rbrace$ and arithmetic progressions, for Hales-Jewett — $[k]^d$ and combinatorial lines, respectively. I'm particularly interested in theorems where the dependence $n_0 = n_0(k, \alpha)$ can be made explicit.

Fix $\epsilon>0$. Every subset $A$ of $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ with $|A|\geq \epsilon n$ contains a centrally symmetric subset $E$ (in other words, there is a $c$ with $E-c=c-E$) with $|E|> \alpha \epsilon^2 n$. The optimal value for $\alpha$ isn't known, but there are reasonably close upper and lower bounds. Greg Martin's paper, with some coauthor or other, isn't the state of the art, but it's the source that sticks in my mind.
Personally, I prefer the continuous statement: every subset of $[0,1]$ with measure $\epsilon$ contains a centrally symmetric subset with measure $0.6\epsilon^2$. And the the "$0.6$", while not best possible, cannot be replaced with "$0.9$".

Kostas Tyros spoke in the Toronto set theory seminar just yesterday about a density version of the Halpern Lauchli Theorem. Actually he spoke about a finite version of the density theorem, and the density version is due to P. Dodos et. al. from 2010 I believe.

Your Answer


) NSTimeInterval animationDuration;
The duration over which the animationImages sequence will play. This is measured in seconds and defaults to the number of animation frames divided by 30 (i.e. 30 frames-per-second). This value is automatically set whenever the animationImages array is updated, so remember to set this after you set the animationImages property.
@property (nonatomic, assign) NSInteger animationRepeatCount;
The number of times the animation will repeat. Defaults to zero, which causes the animation to repeat indefinitely until the stopAnimating method is called.
@property (nonatomic, assign) CATransform3D imageTransform;
A 3D transform to apply to the image. This can be used to center, scale or rotate the image. This can be useful for implementing pinch to zoom/rotate functionality. It is more efficient to transform the image using this property than to transform the entire view using the view.transform or view.layer.transform properties.
GLImageView methods
- (GLImageView *)initWithImage:(GLImage *)image;
This method creates a GLImageView containing the specified image and sets the view frame to match the image size.
- (void)startAnimating;
Inherited from GLView, this method starts the animationImages sequence. Playback always starts from the first frame. Calling play when the animation is already playing will start it again from the beginning.
- (void)stopAnimating;
This method stops the animation sequence. Once stopped, the sequence can not be resumed, only started again from the beginning.
- (BOOL)isAnimating;
This method returns YES if the animationImages sequence is currently playing.
GLModel methods
+ (GLModel *)modelNamed:(NSString *)nameOrPath;
This method loads the model file specified by the nameOrPath paramater and returns a GLModel. The model is cached so that any subsequent modelNamed calls for the same file will return the exact same copy of the model. In a low memory situation, this cache will be cleared.
The name can include a file extension. If it doesn't, .obj is assumed. The name may also include a full or partial file path. Like the GLImage imageNamed: function, modelNamed: can load models outside of the application bundle, such as from the application documents folder. However, because these models are cached, it is unwise to load models in this way if they are likely to be replaced or deleted while the app is running, as this may result in unexpected behaviour.
+ (GLModel *)modelWithContentsOfFile:(NSString *)path;
- (GLModel *)initWithContentsOfFile:(NSString *)path;
These methods load a GLModel from a file. The path parameter can be a full or partial path. For partial paths it is assumed that the path is relative to the application resource folder. The format is inferred from the file extension; Currently only .obj (Wavefront) and .model (Apple's GLEssentials sample code model format) files are accepted. Models loaded in this way are not cached or de-duplicated in any way. Note that is is also possible to use the @2x and ~ipad filename suffixes to specify different models for different devices, which is useful if you wish to provide more detailed models for higher-end devices.
- (GLModel *)initWithContentsOfFile:(NSString *)path;
- (GLModel *)initWithData:(NSData *)data;
These methods initialise a model with data. The format of the data should match the contents of one of the supported file formats.
- (void)draw;
Renders the model in the current GLView. In practice you may wish to configure the OpenGL state for the model before calling draw, e.g. by setting a texture image to use for the rendering. See the GLModelView layoutSubviews method for an example.
GLModelView properties
@property (nonatomic, strong) GLModel *model;
The model that will be rendered by the view.
@property (nonatomic, strong) GLImage *texture;
A GLImage that will be used to texture the model. The model must have texture coordinates defined in order for the texture to be applied correctly.
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIColor *blendColor;
A color to blend with the model texture. This can be used to tint the model or modify its opacity. If no texture image is specified, the model will be flat-shaded in this color.
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSArray *lights;
An array of GLLight objects used to illuminate the model. By default this array contains a single white light positioned above and to the left of the object. You can set up to eight lights, although increasing the number of lights has a negative impact on performance. Setting an empty array is equivalent to having a single ambient white light.
@property (nonatomic, assign) CATransform3D modelTransform;
A 3D transform to apply to the model. This can be used to center, scale or rotate the model to fit the view frame. See the example project for how this can be used.
GLLight properties
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIColor *ambientColor;
The ambient light color. This color is used to illuminate the object uniformly. Defaults to black (off).
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIColor *diffuseColor;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIColor *specularColor;
The diffuse and specular light colors. These illuminate the object in a directional fashion, eminating from the position specified by the transform. These default to white (full brightness).
@property (nonatomic, assign) CATransform3D transform;
The transform property controls the position of the light. Currently only the position/translation part of the transform is used. Rotation and scale properties are ignored. Use CATransform3DMakeTranslation(x, y, z) to set a suitable value. The default translation is (0, 0, 1), which is typically behind the camera, or between the camera and the scene being viewed.
GLLight methods
- (void)bind:(GLuint)light;
This method binds the GLLight to a particular light in the scene. The light parameter is an OpenGL constant representing the light index, where GL_LIGHT0 is the first available light, and GL_LIGHT7 is typically the last available light.
Image file suffixes
iOS has a clever mechanism for managing multiple versions of assets by using file suffixes. The first iPad introduced the ~ipad suffix for specifying ipad-specific versions of files (e.g. foo~ipad.png). The iPhone 4 introduced the @2x suffix for managing double-resolution images for Retina displays (e.g. _EMAIL_). With the 3rd generation iPad you can combine these to have Retina-quality iPad images (e.g. foo@2x~ipad.png).
GLImage supports the @2x and ~ipad suffixes automatically, so if you attempt to load an image called foo.png, GLImage will automatically look for _EMAIL_ on a Retina iPhone and foo~ipad.png on an iPad, etc. These suffixes also work when loading ImageMap plists and 3D model files, so you can provider higher-res versions for Retina displays.
This is an elegant solution for apps, but is sometimes insufficient for games because, unlike apps, hybrid games often share near-identical interfaces on iPhone and iPad, with the assets and interface elements simply scaled up, and this means that the standard definition iPad and Retina resolution iPhone need to use the same images.
Naming your images with the @2x suffix works for iPhone but not iPad, and naming them with the ~ipad suffix works for iPad but not iPhone, which forces you to either duplicate identical assets with different filenames, or to write your own file loading logic.
The -hd suffix is a concept introduced by the Cocos2D library to solve the problem of wanting to use the same @2x graphics for both the iPhone Retina display and the iPad standard definition display by using the same -hd filename suffix for both.
The GLView library has no built-in support for the -hd suffix, however if you include the StandardPaths library (_URL_ in your project, GLView will use this library to automatically add support for the -hd suffix to GLImage, GLImageMap and GLModel, as well as other suffixes supported by the StandardPaths library, such as -568h for iPhone 5-specific assets.
PVR images
The PVR image format is a special proprietary image format used by the PowerVR graphics chip in iOS devices. PVR images load quicker and can take up less space in memory than PNGs, so they can be very useful for apps that need to load and display a lot of images.
Due to the rapid loading, they can also be streamed off disk

12th World Cancer Conference
National Hospital Abuja
Title: Anaemia in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy: Our experience at the National Hospital Abuja, Nigeria
Biography: Chinedu S Aruah
Introduction: More than 50% of cancer patients will receive radiotherapy in the course of their therapy. Anaemia is the most common haematological complication in cancer patients. The cut-off value for anaemia varies from centre to centre, but Hb of 10 g/dl is a borderline value and administration of radiotherapy without adequate haematological support may tilt the patient into clinical anaemia.
Objective: To study the impact of radiotherapy on the haemoglobin level of cancer patients undergoing therapy.
Materials & Methods: A total of 63 patients with solid tumours with intent for radical treatment were recruited within a period of 8 months. Informed consent of participants was obtained and demographic characteristics of the cancer patients and their various oncologic diseases were gathered. Baseline or pretreatment Haemoglobin (Hb) was measured on the first day of consultation. Patients were simulated and treated with linear accelerator. Their Hb level was measured once every 2 weeks during therapy. The blood film pictures of the patients were examined in the course of treatment. The whole process was terminated after 3 consecutive Hb reading or after week 6. Anaemia was classified for this study into: Less than 10 g/dl-severe anaemia; 10–10.9 g/dl -moderate anaemia; 11–12 g/dl-mild anaemia;> 12 g/dl-no anaemia (Normal)
Results & Data Analysis: Data collected was analyzed using a standard statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 10. Out of 63 cancer patients, 92.1% were female and 7.9% were male. Age range was 25–75 years, with median age of 50 years. Breast 47.6% (30) was commonest site of tumour. 74.6% (47) presented with stage III disease. Prevalence of anaemia in the study was 42.9%. At the end of therapy, 55.6% (63) cancer patients had their Hb level between 11.52–12.13 g/dl. At P-value > 0.05 there was no statistical significance on distribution of mean Hb, standard deviation based on sex and treatment type.
Conclusion & recommendation: Prevalence of anaemia in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy was 42.9% as shown by the blood film. However, at 95% confidence interval (95CI) radiotherapy had no significant impact on Hb level, hence Hb: 11.52 –12.13 g/dl at the end of therapy. We recommend Hb of 11 g/dl as irreducible minimum level for cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy in Nigeria Oncology Centres.

Conscientiousness Moderates the Relationship Between Perceived Stress and Depressive Symptoms Among U.S. Chinese Older Adults.J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2017 Jul 01; 72(suppl_1):S108-S112.JG
The present study examined whether individuals' personality traits, Neuroticism and Conscientiousness, moderated the relationship between perceived stress and depressive symptoms among U.S. Chinese older adults.
Data analysis was based on the Population Study of Chinese Elderly in Chicago (PINE). Three thousand one hundred and fifty-nine Chinese adults aged 60 years and older participated in the PINE study. They completed scales that assessed their personality (ie, Neuroticism and Conscientiousness of the NEO Five-Factor Inventory), perceived stress (the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale), and depressive symptoms (the Patient Health Questionnaire).
Perceived stress was positively related to depressive symptoms among U.S. Chinese older adults. No moderation effects were found for Neuroticism. Conscientiousness significantly moderated the perceived stress-depressive symptom relationship. The positive relationship between perceived stress and depressive symptoms was weaker for people who were higher in Conscientiousness than those who were lower in Conscientiousness.
Conscientiousness mitigated the stress-depressive symptom relationship among U.S. Chinese older adults. Future research is needed to identify the psychological and sociocultural profiles of individuals who show stress resilience and those who are vulnerable. Social services and psychological interventions are needed to promote health and well-being among U.S. Chinese older adults.

Hey! Directory Localizer
Directory Localizer helps you localize directories.
Periodically, you'll want to know where a Python source file is actually located on disk. You might want this for all sorts of reasons, and it's always a bit messy when you do want to know.
DirectoryLocalizer solves two problems:
- it lets you know where you are on disk, assuming you're not anywhere crazy, like in a zip import, and
- it lets you pass that location to other code that might want to know where you are.
Usage is extremely simple:
- Make a DirectoryLocalizer object, dl (or whatever).
- Call dl.set() from the file you want to locate on disk.
- Any code that can access dl can now call:
- dl.dir(): for the directory of the file where dl.set() was called,
- dl.path(fn): for the filename of a file in the directory where dl.set() was called,
- dl.file(fn): for a file object of the file in dl.path(fn), and
- dl.read(fn): to get a read of the file in d.file(fn).

The first-ever 3D analysis of a material known as "Zwischgold" has unveiled its composition, along with how medieval metalworkers used it as a gilding material thousands of years ago.
The study was conducted by physicist Dr. Benjamin Watts and his team at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland.
What is Zwischgold?
Zwischgold is a blend of both silver and gold, formed into a foil that was commonly used as a coating, or gilding material for medieval objects and paintings. It's not uncommon to find Zwischgold adorning artifacts from the medieval period. The surface layer of gold used on top of the silver base is ultra-thin – more than 2,300 times thinner than a human hair – meaning it would have been cheaper to use than pure gold.
Artisans from this period would have had to be master craftsmen, and more technologically advanced than we previously had thought.
"It is incredible how someone with only hand tools was able to craft such nanoscale material," says Watts. "Although Zwischgold was frequently used in the Middle Ages, very little was known about this material up to now."
A Unique Study
This new study has its origins in finding ways to preserve Zwischgold-gilded objects, given how easily the material corrodes after prolonged exposure to oxygen. Researchers used samples from a 15th-century altar that was likely constructed around 1420, which had been used within a mountain chapel in the Swiss Alps for centuries. The altar features the Virgin Mary, holding baby Jesus in her arms. Samples, supplied by the Basel Historical Museum, were taken from Mary's robe.
The team then leveraged a new 3D diffractive imaging technique called ptychographic X-ray computed tomography (PXCT). The scan helped to further reveal the chemical composition of Zwischgold without compromising its structure in the process.
The imaging allowed the research team to observe the degree of adhesion, the thickness of both the gold and silver layers, and how evenly distributed the thin gold layer was applied to its silver base.
"Many people had assumed that technology in the Middle Ages was not particularly advanced," notes Qing Wu, a member of Watts' team and lead author of the research paper. "On the contrary: this was not the Dark Ages, but a period when metallurgy and gilding techniques were incredibly well developed."
While no documentation has yet been discovered as to how Zwischgold was produced and applied to objects, these new 3D scans give scientists and art historians insight into how it was likely done.
Silver and gold were hammered into foils separately and meticulously, with the gold foil being hammered to a much thinner degree. Once the two metals were hammered out, they would have been combined and worked on in tandem.
"This required special beating tools and pouches with various inserts made of different materials into which the foils were inserted. This was a fairly complicated procedure that required highly skilled specialists," says Wu.
The results of the PXCT scans will be used to further future studies, and to help conservators understand, preserve, and restore these uniquely gilded objects.


Any time a content type has custom fields (i.e. fields created by an administrator), you must tell the module how to map the data over. You do this using the Migration::addFieldMapping function. This function's arguments are ordered counterintuitively; the source field is the second argument in the function and the destination field is the first argument. The call to Migration::addFieldMapping should look like:
$this->addFieldMapping('destination_field_name', 'source_field_name');
You can check the destination field names easily through the GUI. In the admin menu, go to Structure -> Content Types -> Type -> Manage Fields (where "Type" is the content type you are creating a class for). Custom fields are any field that is not Title, Body, URL Path Settings, or URL redirects. You may match the machine name directly for the destination fields. However, the source fields require more attention to detail. One does not simply copy the field name, as they did with the destination fields. To find the source field names, you have to connect to the source database through drush. You need aegir permissions to connect to the source database. The connection command will vary between source databases, but it should begin with a call to mysql from Drush. You can switch databases inside mysql by typing 'use db', where "db" is some other source database. Once you've found the correct database, you need to find the table of the content type for which you are mapping fields. This could either be in the node table or in content_type_foo, where "foo" is a content type. Once you find the correct table, use the SQL command desc table to get a list of the fields in that table. You will most likely see significantly more tables in the source than in the destination. Many tables will have the same name, but end in _attributes or _value. For these duplicate fields, truncate the last word and use the root of the field name inside your node.inc file. It may take some time to see which words need to be omitted for the fields to map correctly. You can always try a migration to test it and roll back if it doesn't work properly.

Supreme Court likely to bar some US green card applicants
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court appeared ready Monday to prevent thousands of people living in the United States for humanitarian reasons from applying to become permanent residents.
The designation applies to people who come from countries ravaged by war or disaster, protects them from deportation, and allows them to work legally.
Many have lived in the US for many years, given birth to American citizens, and have put down roots in this country, their advocates say.
Legislation that would allow people who are here for humanitarian reasons to adjust their immigration status has passed the House but faces uncertain prospects in the Senate.
The case before the court involves a couple from El Salvador who has been in the country since the late 1990s.
People from 10 other countries are similarly protected.
They are Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.

UltraScan VIS Spectrophotometer
The UltraScan VIS colour measurement spectrophotometer detects opaque, transparent, and translucent solids and liquids across the entire CIE recommended spectral range of 360–780 nm. It may be used in the lab and in production to examine raw materials, evaluate finished products, and develop colour analysis procedures.
- Measures reflectance, transmittance and haze
- Wavelength range 360 nm – 780 nm
- 10 nm optical resolution and reporting interval
- Two reflectance measurement areas
- Exceptional inter-instrument agreement
- Automated UV calibration and control
- Large transmission compartment open on three sides
- Includes EasyMatch QC software
Guaranteed Measurement Accuracy
The UltraScan VIS accurately detects reflected and transmitted colour, as well as transmission haze, and follows CIE, ASTM, and USP colour measuring criteria. UltraScan VIS employs a diffuse/8° geometry with automatic inclusion/exclusion of specular components. The employment of a robust CIE-conforming sphere instrument (TTRAN Total Transmission mode) for transmission measurement successfully eliminates the effects of small scattering commonly encountered in clear samples.
You may be confident that discrepancies between measurements are attributable to product colour changes, not instrument variability, because to its remarkable inter-instrument agreement and long-term stability. Materials that are on the edge of acceptable tolerances will not be rejected.


hits you in order to chamber. Note that stab directions are always irrelevant while chambering - any stab can chamber any other stab (if timed and aimed correctly). Also note that the window within which a chamber is possible is very small, and as such if your opponent delays their strike slightly (i.e uses a "drag") then you are most likely going to get hit. For more information about chambering, refer to this video.
Next, onto feinting. Many players will be familiar with this from Chivalry. This simply involves pressing Q during the windup of your attack. Note that there is a point during the windup at which you can no longer feint. A feint can be used to bait your opponent's parry and then score a hit afterwards. Note that you can feint almost all types of attacks, including ripostes (unlike in Chivalry). There is also another mechanic called the "feint-to-parry" button which essentially simulates pressing feint and then parry in an instant which can be used to stop and parry an incoming attack during the middle of your own strike (this is bound to RMB by default).
The final advanced mechanic is morphing. Morphs allow the player to start winding up an attack and quickly switch into a different type of strike. Currently you can morph stabs into slashes, or slashes into stabs, but you cannot morph a slash into a slash or a stab into a stab. To execute a morph, simply press the key of the first attack and then quickly press the key of the second attack. Note that ripostes cannot be morphed; however chambers can be morphed.
Mordhau has a wide variety of settings which you can take advantage of. To access the settings tab, click the "Settings" button in the main menu, or press escape and click the "Settings" button if you're in-game. Here you should be able to see different tabs which allow you to control different aspects of your game. For example, in the Video tab, you find all the video settings that you'd usually expect from a 3D game. If you're looking to squeeze the best performance out of a slightly old computer, you should consider turning down the resolution since this greatly reduces the load on your GPU. In the Controls tab you can set key bindings and mouse sensitivities. The menu is relatively intuitive and self-explanatory. More information may be added to this section at a later date.
In Mordhau, there are no classes. Instead, you can make your own loadouts consisting of whatever equipment and armour you wish, and then select it when you play. There are four default loadouts: Heavy, Medium, Light and Templar. These are all pretty arbitrary, and like I mentioned before, you can easily change these to suit your own preferences (I will explain how to do that in a second). When you join a game you will be met with a screen asking you which loadout you want to select. You can access this panel at any time using the "B" button to change to a different loadout.
In the escape menu you can find all the options pertaining to loadout customization. You can select a loadout using the dropdown box and create a new loadout using the green button to the right. In this menu you can select your primary, secondary and tertiary weapons, change your armour, or sculpt your character's face. Note that loadouts can be shared between people fairly easily: on Windows, you can find the information for each loadout in "\AppData\Local\Mordhau\Saved\Config\WindowsClient\Game.ini" which can then be sent to your friends (just make sure to only send them the relevant parts and not the entire file).
Thanks for reading the guide. If you have any information you want to add, or any questions about the information contained within, then you should comment here.

Bandwidth Scanner
Notes presented during the session: _URL_
Background
The overall goal of bandwidth weights is to balance load so that each stream has approximately the same performance, regardless of the relays chosen by the client.
In 200?, Mike measured the Tor network. He partitioned relays by their self-reported bandwidth, then measured their stream capacity.
The highest-bandwidth relays had much more capacity than the lower-bandwidth relays. So we decided to re-balance network load towards high-bandwidth relays.
Each relay's self-reported bandwidth is scaled by the ratio between its measured bandwidth, and the network average measured bandwidth.
Bandwidth Distribution
The distribution of relay bandwidths is exponential. This was our original goal when we wrote torflow.
sbws can match Torflow's bandwidths.
If we deploy a network full of sbws, we think it will scale like Torflow does.
Scanner Transition
sbws is ready to install using a python virtual environment.
The Debian package has been patched and needs some testing.
As we deploy sbws instances, we should check:
 - client performance: onionperf is the same or better, with the same or less variance
 - bandwidth map (across the network, and per authority?) on relay search is the same
 - relay bandwidth history graph is stable (and doesn't go down)
Next Steps at this Meeting
Metrics: getting data from sbws
Bwauth operators: talk through deployment issues
Metrics, scanner, research: How to decide if sbws is working or not?
Future Work
Let's deploy sbws first. Then we can make it different to Torflow.
Do we need a better distribution of relay bandwidths?
Should we give less weight to low-bandwidth relays, so that they can handle random variation better?

Finnair A350 Operates 100KM Hop Across The Gulf Of Finland
Finnair today operated an Airbus A350 flight of just 100km. The short hop saw the widebody aircraft visit Tallinn for the first time as the airline looked to move 'a belly full of cargo'.

Airlines around the world have been operating some interesting routes recently. This has all been in aid of keeping passengers and freight moving while many usual flights have stopped. Examples have seen Lufthansa in New Zealand, and Air New Zealand in Germany. Finnair has even had its fair share. However, today the Finnish national airline operated a very short hop for a widebody aircraft.
Shortest Finnair A350 flight?
Today's hop to Tallin may have been the airline's shortest A350 hop in history, carrying passengers or freight. (If you know of a shorter hop with such a purpose, please do let us know in the comments!) The flight was so short that it only lasted 20 minutes, with the taxi either end taking almost as long as the flight. Let's take a look at the numbers.
Finnair, Airbus A350, Freight
The aircraft flew a short hop across the Gulf of Finland. It reached its maximum height at the position indicated. Image:
After pushback, the flight from Helsinki to Tallinn began to taxi towards the runway at 12:14 UTC. At 12:22, the aircraft began its takeoff roll. The Airbus A350 then began to climb to a height of 13,000 feet according to data from It reached this height at 12:27.
The aircraft didn't stay at its cruising altitude for long, however. In fact, just two minutes later, and less than halfway to Tallinn, it began its descent at 12:29. After a further 13 minutes in the air, it touched down in Tallin at 12:42, before taxiing for another five minutes. In total the aircraft spent 20 minutes flying and 13 minutes taxiing.
While it's not clear what exactly the aircraft was carrying, Finnair did mention that the flight was being operated for cargo reasons. The airline also remarked that this flight was the first time one of its A350 aircraft had flown to Tallinn.
Not the only interesting flight
Finnair's flight today is not the only interesting cargo flight made by a passenger aircraft. In fact, as many passenger aircraft are going unused at the moment, they are instead being used for cargo. airBaltic used an Airbus A220 for a seven-hour cargo flight from China. Meanwhile, Virgin Atlantic flew cargo from Shanghai with a Boeing 787, while Lufthansa used an Airbus A330.
Which interesting cargo flights have you seen operating recently? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Improved Agricultural Land Reserve Use Regulation part of StrongerBC Economic Plan
March 8, 2022 By Government of British Columbia
British Columbians will soon be able to enjoy more locally produced food and farmers will have new opportunities to grow thanks to regulatory supports from the B.C. government. An improvement to the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) Use Regulation is part of the StrongerBC Economic Plan that sets out to make British Columbia a global player in the agritech marketplace.
"Making B.C.'s food system more sustainable and resilient helps build a stronger economy and prosperous farming communities," said Lana Popham, minister of agriculture, food and fisheries. "When the pandemic and recent climate change-related floods disrupted supply chains, British Columbians were reminded of the incredible bounty in our own back yard. Opening opportunities for more vertical farms and innovative agritech practices in partnership with existing traditional farms helps solve our overall food security and food economy puzzle."
The regulation allows for more intensive farming, known as vertical farming, where crops are grown in vertically stacked layers, maximizing space and reducing energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. While vertical farming can be placed anywhere, this opens the door to additional opportunities on ALR land for farmers and farm businesses to produce more food for British Columbians.
The ALR is designed to ensure food security and these changes allow it to be used in a practical way to increase local food supply. For example, vertical farming and other controlled environment structures can also make smaller pieces of land that are currently fallow more viable to grow on.
"A key pillar of our StrongerBC Economic Plan is centred around fostering innovation to grow the economy while tackling climate change," said Ravi Kahlon, minister of jobs, economic recovery and innovation. "By opening up new opportunities for agritech companies to operate in B.C., we are positioning our province to be a world leader in finding innovative solutions to food security problems."
The regulation is an important step toward making B.C. a leader in using technology and innovation in agriculture to reduce emissions, create new opportunities and ensure a secure and sustainable, local food supply. In the coming months, the province will also launch a new agritech centre of excellence to help companies grow and scale up, providing more high-quality, high-tech jobs for British Columbians.
Agritech operations use technology and innovation, such as robotics for harvesting or controlled indoor growing systems, to produce more sustainable food, while using fewer resources. Agritech farming contributes to a more resilient food system with increased product density and shorter growing times with the potential to increase crop yields, product quality and food security.

$2750 a month for every adult, guaranteed? Switzerland's considering it
Five cent coins are pictured in the air in front of the Federal Palace in Bern, Switzerland, during an event organized by the committee proposing a minimum monthly household income of 2,500 Swiss francs for every adult citizen living in Switzerland.
Denis Balibouse/Reuters
Here's a deal: Each month the Swiss government will send every adult a check for about 2,500 swiss francs (roughly $2,750) — no matter their need or income.
Player utilities
At least, that's the proposal before the Swiss people.
In response to growing economic inequality, a grassroots movement in Switzerland collected the 100,000 signatures needed to secure a national referendum on their basic income proposal. Swiss law states any petition that receives at least 100,000 signatures will be voted on nationally.
"It is not as kooky as it sounds," says Karl Widerquist, a Georgetown University professor who has researched basic income policy for a decade. "It's the idea of putting a floor under people's income, the idea that income doesn't have to start at zero."
Basic income is a social security system in which the government regularly gives each citizen a sum of money — with no conditions.
Widerquist points to one example of a similar system here in the United States. With Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend, the government divides up some of the state's yearly oil revenue and gives a portion to each resident. The amount fluctuates year to year, from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand.
But the proposed measure in Switzerland would be much greater, adding up to more than $30,000 in guaranteed annual income for each adult.
In recent studies in Africa and India, Widerquist said giving people unconditional monetary gifts often increases labor.
"A basic income, in a way, frees you to improve your skills and your efforts and do something that actually makes a bigger contribution to economy," he says.
No date has been set for the national referendum on Switzerland's guaranteed income proposal.

Abstract Although landfilling and disposal into the ocean present still the most common methods used in the sewage sludge management, the share of recycling and reuse based on drying and incineration procedures continuously increases during the last decades. In this paper, an energy-efficient thermal treatment of sewage sludge is proposed, aimed at its use in blended cements. A practical application of the designed treatment is performed for the sewage sludge obtained from the municipal wastewater treatment plant in Patras, Greece. The material characterization shows that the sludge thermally treated at 700 °C has significant amounts of silica, alumina, calcium oxide and iron oxide, while the content of amorphous phase is 41%, which results in a good pozzolanic activity. The mechanical properties of hardened cement pastes prepared using blended Portland cement-thermally treated sewage sludge binders are after the 28-days curing period not satisfactory yet, indicating that a substantial part of the sludge acts still as filler only. This discrepancy between the pozzolanic activity and mechanical tests can be explained by too coarse sludge particles which slow down the pozzolanic reaction. The results of chemical tests show that the safe limit for the practical use of sewage sludge as partial Portland cement replacement is 10%, which is mainly due to the relatively high content of chlorides and alkalis. This limit can though be increased by the removal of soluble salts from the raw sludge using water treatment. The life cycle a...

Trees' and insects' growth and development are dependent on environmental factors like temperature (heat), light and humidity. Because insects are cold-blooded, temperature has the greatest effect on insect development rates.Development rate increases as temperature increases up to a point. In the temperature range from 10 to 30 degrees, development rate changes almost linearly with increasing temperature. At very low temperature there is no development, and at very high temperature development is stunted.
Since temperature influences tree growth in a similar manner to insects, development of the various growth stages in the tree is dependent on temperature. Each stage of tree development requires a certain amount of heat units before growth to the next stage will occur. This measure of accumulated heat over time is known as physiological time. For instance, remember the cool, rainy late-winter/early-spring weather we recently had? This year's cherry blossom's in DC went from 2/28/2011 (green color in buds) to 3/29/2011 (peak bloom).Last year's cherry blossoms only went from 3/14/2010 (green color in buds) to 3/31/2010 (peak bloom) because it was warmer earlier – so developmental growth speeded up – and left us with less time to enjoy the blooms.
For many years, growers have observed the arrival or development of a partlcular insect pest with flower bud or leaf development and have timed the applications of sprays in the spring. This is an indirect use of physiological time. Using these natural timers are most useful early in the growing season when tree growth stages are readily observable. However, making accurate predictions on insect life stages throughout the growing season are needed. This is done by measuring degree-days of the insects in question.
What are degree days? Entomologists have determined lower threshold temperatures and degree-day totals for the life stages of many insects by studying their development in the field and the laboratory. The lower developmental threshold for a species is the temperature below which development stops. The upper developmental threshold is the temperature at which the rate of growth or development begins to decrease. Phenology models are then developed and used to predict various events or lifestages of an insect. This is useful for tree and shrub care companies because it gives a general timetable for when to treat insect pests during the correct stages to be effective.
Mother Nature is full of surprises! If you find your insect pest populations are out of control this season and damaging your trees and shrubs, contact Wood Acres Tree Specialists for a consultation. It takes years to grow a beautiful tree or shrub specimen – don't let it be disfigured or destroyed in one season.

Problem 2699. From a given cell array of strings, extract the non-unique strings.
We are given a cell array of strings C. From this cell array we require to extract the subset of non-unique strings, returning the results as a column vector.
For example, if C = {'A', 'B', 'C', 'A', 'B'}, then the strings 'A' and 'B' are repeated, so the result should be {'A'; 'B'}. The order of occurrence of the strings should be preserved, so {'B'; 'A'} would not be an acceptable solution. The order of appearance of the strings is defined using the column-major format. For example, if C = {'Jack', 'Bob'; 'Dave', 'Amanda'} then the order of the strings is 'Jack', 'Dave', 'Bob', 'Amanda'.
