Pressing the Head Against Objects in Cats
Head pressing is characterized by the compulsive act of pressing the head against a wall or other object for no apparent reason. This generally indicates damage to the nervous system, which may result from a number of varying causes, including prosencephalon disease (in which the forebrain and thalamus parts of the brain are damaged), or toxic poisoning.
There is no evidence that any certain cat breed or age-range is at greater risk for this condition.
Symptoms and Types
The act of head pressing is just one sign of prosencephalon disease, in which the forebrain and thalamus parts of the brain are affected. Other symptoms that may accompany this include compulsive pacing and circling, changes in learned (trained) behavior, seizures, damaged reflexes, and visual problems. Some of these symptoms may lead to lesions, for example, sores on the feet as a result of compulsive pacing, or injuries to the face/head as a result of pressing the head against a surface for long periods of time.
There are a number of reasons for why a cat may feel the need to press its head, depending on the primary cause that is leading to this symptom. Possible causes may be a metabolic disorder, such as hyper or hyponatremia (too much, or too little sodium in the body's blood plasma), a primary or secondary tumor (meaning a tumor located in the brain vs. a tumor located elsewhere in the body), or an infection of the nervous system, such as rabies or fungal infection. Other causes can include head trauma, such as from a car accident, or from exposure to toxins, such as lead.
One primary diagnostic procedure in cases of head pressing includes a fundic examination of the retina and other structures in the back of the eye, which may indicate infectious or inflammatory diseases, as well as reveal irregularities in the brain. Other likely tests are blood pressure measurements to test for high blood pressure, and computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain. Your veterinarian will also include a urine analysis (which may reveal a problem with the metabolic system), and tests for blood lead concentration (which can indicate toxins in the system).
You will need to give a thorough history of your cat's health, the onset of symptoms, and possible incidents that might have preceded this condition.


message" and add the following function:
Function ShowNotification ($MsgTitle, $MsgText) {
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$global:balmsg = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon
$path = (Get-Process -id $pid).Path
$balmsg.Icon = [System.Drawing.Icon]::ExtractAssociatedIcon($path)
$balmsg.BalloonTipIcon = [System.Windows.Forms.ToolTipIcon]::Warning
$balmsg.BalloonTipText = $MsgText
$balmsg.BalloonTipTitle = $MsgTitle
$balmsg.Visible = $true
$balmsg.ShowBalloonTip(10000)
}
You can also send an email notification using Send-MailMessage.
Then if any expired or expiring certificates are found, you will be notified by an email and a popup message.
PowerShell: Create a Certificate Expiration Popup Notification
Then create an automatic task for the Task Scheduler to be run once or twice a week and run the PowerShell script to check expiry dates of your HTTPS website certificates. (You can create a task in the Task Scheduler to run a PS1 script file using Register-ScheduledTask cmdlet.)
How to Check for Expired Certificates in Windows Certificate Store Remotely?
You may also need a PowerShell script check the expiration dates of certificates used by cryptographic services on your domain servers (e. g., RDP/RDS , Exchange, SharePoint, LDAPS certificates, etc.) or users' computers.
On a local computer, you can get a list of certificates using the command:
Get-ChildItem -Path cert
Powershell 3.0 has a special -ExpiringInDays argument:
Get-ChildItem -Path cert: -Recurse -ExpiringInDays 30
In PowerShell 2.0, the same command looks like this:
Get-ChildItem -Path cert: -Recurse | where { $_.notafter -le (get-date).AddDays(30) -AND $_.notafter -gt (get-date)} | select thumbprint, subject
To check only your own certificates, use the Cert:\LocalMachine\My container instead of Cert: in the root folder. Thus, you won't check Windows trusted root certificates and commercial certificates.
To find certificates that will expire in the next 30 days on all domain servers, use this PowerShell script:
$servers= (Get-ADComputer -LDAPFilter "(&(objectCategory=computer)(operatingSystem=Windows Server*) (!serviceprincipalname=*MSClusterVirtualServer*) (!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))").Name
$result=@()
foreach ($server in $servers)
{
$ErrorActionPreference="SilentlyContinue"
$getcert=Invoke-Command -ComputerName $server { Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\LocalMachine\My -Recurse -ExpiringInDays 30}
foreach ($cert in $getcert) {
$result+=New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property ([ordered]@{
'Server'=$server;
'Certificate'=$cert.Issuer;
'Expires'=$cert.NotAfter
})
}
}
Write-Output $result
Scan Windows Certificate Store for Expiring Certificates remotely using powershell
You will get the list of server certificates that are about to expire and you will have enough time to renew them.

How to Reduce Windows.edb Huge File Size _URL_ _URL_ Mon, 10 May 2021 08:00:00 +0000 _URL_ Windows.edb is the Windows Search index database. A search index allows users to quickly search for data and files in the file system due to indexing of files, e-mails in PST files and other content. Indexing is performed in the background by the SearchIndexer.exe process. Obviously, the more files there are in the system, the larger the size of the Windows.edb file. In some cases, it can grow up to tens or even hundreds of GB, taking up all the free space on the system drive.
The Windows.edb file is hidden and by default is stored in the folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\
The Windows.edb file can be found in all modern client and server Microsoft OSs: from Windows 7/Server 2008 to Windows 10/Server 2019.
For example, in my case the size of Windows.edb is more than 15.5 GB (i. e. over 15% on my 100 GB SSD drive).
huge Windows.edb file
You can check the current size of the Windows.edb file with the following PowerShell command:
((Get-Item $env:programdata'\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb').length/1GB)
powershell get windows.edb file size
Next, let's look at a several ways to reduce the size of the huge Windows Search Index (Windows.edb) file.
How to Reset and Rebuild Windows Search Index?
The most appropriate, though not too effective way to reduce the size of Windows.edb is to re-index the files in the system. To do it, open Control Panel -> Indexing Options -> Advanced -> click Rebuild (to open this dialog box, you can run the following command: Control srchadmin.dll ).
rebuild windows search index
After some time, the Windows Search will complete a full reindex of the data on the system drive (and other indexed location), and the size of the edb file will be reduced (it took several hours to rebuild the search index on my computer).
Reducing Windows.edb Size Using Defragmentation
The Windows Search Index file is a Microsoft EDB database. You can defragment the EDB database using the standard tool for maintaining such databases, esentutl.exe (Extensible Storage Engine Utility – should be familiar to Exchange admins). The database is defragmented offline (it must not be used), so you will have to stop Windows Search service first. You can join all these operations in a single bat/cmd script:
sc config wsearch start=disabled
sc stop wsearch
esentutl.exe /d %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb
sc config wsearch start=delayed-auto
sc start wsearch.
To perform the defragmentation, there should be sufficient free space on the hard drive, since a full copy of the EDB file will be created.
Esentutl displays on the screen the current EDB file defragmentation progress. If you see an error after running the esentutl command:
Operation terminated with error -1213 (JET_errPageSizeMismatch, The database page size does not match the engine) after 10.125 seconds.
This means that you are using a 64-bit OS and you need to use the x86 esentutl version to perform defragmentation. In this case, the third command will look like this:
"C:\Windows\SysWOW64\esentutl.exe" /d %AllUsersProfile%\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb
defrag Windows-edb with esentutl
In my case, after the defragmentation, the size of the Windows.edb file reduced by 30%.
Remove and Recreate the Windows.edb file
If free disk space is critical, you can safely delete the Windows.edb file. This action is safe because you don't lose any data, only the search index is reset. To delete the Windows.edb file, stop the Windows Search service, then delete the file and start the service.
net stop "Windows Search"
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search" /v SetupCompletedSuccessfully /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
del %PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb
net start "Windows Search"
The value of the registry parameter SetupCompletedSuccessfully = 0 in the reg key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search forces the Windows Search service to reset the current settings and indexing paths at the next start, restore the default windows search parameters and add the default indexing paths.
After you restart Windows Search, it will start the background reindexing process and recreate the Windows.edb file (system performance may decrease during the full reindexing).
Move the Windows.edb File to a Different Drive
In some cases, when the size of Windows.edb file is constantly growing, it is better to move the index database

A phase spider was a magical beast akin to a predacious version of the ethereal filcher. Phase spiders were monstrous arachnid-kin that dwelt within the Ethereal Plane. They made quick forays into the natural world to snatch an unlucky creature to feed upon. Those stolen by phase spiders were never seen again and were regarded as unsolved disappearances.[3]
Description[]
The phase spider resembled a giant, two-eyed, spindly-legged spider with the same dark green and white coloration of an ethereal filcher (though it was a bit more blue than green).[3]
Combat[]
While the filcher transported between the Ethereal Plane and the Material Plane for the purpose of stealing, the phase spider did this for the purpose of hunting. It looked for a likely spot in the Ethereal Plane, and then teleported (its form of teleportation was known as "phasing," hence the name) to the Material Plane, presumably ambushing travelers it expected to be there, biting and killing them, and then quickly retreating back to the Ethereal Plane.[3]
Behavior[]
They could not speak. They were regarded as neutral in alignment.[3]
History[]
In the Year of Lightning Storms, 1374 DR, a small group of drow arachnomancers took over one of ancient Illefarn ruins, interestingly enough, located in the deep jungles of Samarach of the Chultan Peninsula. Even though their goal remained a mystery, they brought a pack of phase spiders with them and kept the deadly creatures in the top levels of the ruined structure.[6]

Familiarity plays an important role in face processing. The importance of familiarity is increased when facial form cues are degraded, so that a person must rely primarily on movement (dynamic) information to identify someone. It is, however, unclear which dynamic cues are used for face recognition of both familiar and unfamiliar faces. Furthermore, little work has been done on dynamic self-face recognition, and none has focused on the type of movement that facilitates this process. The current study used motion capture cameras to record and isolate facial movements in order to test recognition of self, familiar and unfamiliar faces. Participants completed a 2AFC same/different face-matching task involving point-light displays of natural motion (i.e. both rigid and non-rigid motion), rigid motion only (e.g. nodding/shaking), non-rigid motion only (e.g. mouth/eyebrow motion) and still images to determine whether differences in familiarity resulted in the use of different movement cues. The manner (style) in which someone is speaking may also impact on whether they can be easily identified from dynamic cues. Consequently, speech style was either matched or mismatched between video clips. We found that matching performance was more accurate overall when speech style was matched than mismatched. Familiar face matching appears to use rigid, non-rigid and natural movement cues equally, but unfamiliar and self-face matching are more accurate for rigid than natural motion when speech style differs between clips. These results are discussed in relation to previous research on dynamic face recognition, and possible implications for current face processing models.

India's First Comic Book on Organ Donation
A non-governmental organization Shatayu working in the field of voluntary organ donation has come up with a comic book to inspire school students and their parents. The illustrated comic titled 'Super Donor' is meant for students of standard VI to XII.
India's First Comic Book on Organ Donation - Super Donor
The comic on organ donation will be distributed among all the students. Chairman of Shatayu Dipak Patel says, "The objective behind this is to initiate the young generation and their parents in organ donation. If any family member is brain dead, then the relatives are the ones who can take the decision to donate organs. This can help save several other lives."
The comic also has a voluntary organ donation form which is meant for the children to give to their parents to be filled up. "The comic, we hope, will tell the youngsters as well as their guardians how each one of us has the power to save lives".

Let's say a blue dwarf makes the final connection to the gold. However, there are two paths that one could take to get from the ladder to the gold. One of these paths has a blue door, one of them has no doors. Obviously the blue dwarf would prefer to use the path with the door, so does the player who makes the final connection get to choose what path to use? Or does it go by shortest path to the gold? Basically, what are the rules to determine what path counts as the "final path"?
There's no such concept. The following are the win conditions for the red and blue teams from the rules:
A dwarf from the blue team created the connection, and there is a path that's not blocked by a red door, so the blue team wins, and the red team does not. That's it.
The only way the red team can win if a dwarf from the blue team creates the connection is if the blue team can't win (i.e. every path is blocked by red doors).

the height of the upper falls at Yellowstone falls is 33.2m. when the water reaches the botton of the falls, its speed is 25.8 m/s. neglecting air resistance, what is the speed of the water at the to of te falls.
The water acquires a vertical velocity component during the fall equal to
Vy = sqrt(2gH) = 25.5 m/s. Its velocity at the bottom is 25.8 m/s, so the horizontal component at the bottom must be sqrt[(25.8)^2 - (25.5)^2] = 3.9 m/s
That must be the horizontal component at the top also, since it does not change during the fall. It is the velocity magnitude there.

The multi-million pound finish, known as army brown, replaces the desert sand colour which has been used by the Army since World War Two operations in North Africa.
Specialists at the Leicester-based AkzoNobel chemical company obtained samples of rock and soil plus high-resolution imagery from Helmand in Afghanistan for their research.
The finish was developed jointly at the Government's Defence Science and Technology laboratory using expertise from AkzoNobel's Dulux and Sikkens paint brands.
The new coating includes a "paint and peel" version so that vehicles rushed to a conflict can be spray-painted and then, when they return to the UK, the coating can be peeled off.
"The secret paint scheme was seen for the first time at the MoD's Defence Vehicle Dynamics show in Northampton."
But the most advanced aspect of the sensitive project is that the coating will change when it absorbs toxic chemicals, alerting soldiers that they are under chemical attack.
The secret paint scheme was seen for the first time at the MoD's Defence Vehicle Dynamics show in Northampton.
Now scientists are working to try to develop the paint further so that as well as absorbing chemicals it can neutralise the toxins.
All Foxhound, Husky and a wide range of armoured vehicles used in Helmand and other conflicts are to be painted ready for future operations.
A small number of Warrior armoured personnel carriers have already been painted in the new colour and deployed on operations in Afghanistan.

A hot potato: A team of researchers from Columbia University have used a custom AI model to test if fingerprints are really as unique as forensic and crime literature suggest. The results are surprising, and hard to swallow for the forensic community as well.
Fingerprints have long been used as the "gold standard" for forensic analysis and criminal investigations, as prints of different fingers from the same person – also known as "intra-person fingerprints" – are considered to be unique. This well-known fact is being challenged by a recent study, which used an AI model to refute one of the longest beliefs in forensics.
Led by Gabe Guo, a Columbia Engineering undergraduate senior with no previous knowledge in forensic science, the study states that intra-person fingerprints can be similar. The team used an AI model known as deep contrastive network, which is commonly used in facial recognition tasks, and trained it with a public US government database containing around 60,000 fingerprints.
The researchers fed the fingerprints in pairs, alternating between pairs that belonged to the same person (but from different fingers) and pairs that belonged to different people. After the training period, the AI system started to show a significant accuracy level (77%) in detecting when a fingerprint pair belonged to the same person and when it did not.
When multiple pairs were used, the AI model became significantly more accurate in detecting similar fingerprints. The researchers think that the system could increase current forensic efficiency by "more than tenfold." The surprising results weren't initially welcomed by a "well-established" forensic journal, and Guo's team had to further improve the AI system before the study was finally accepted for publication by the Science Advances journal.
After analyzing the decision process made by the AI model, the researchers discovered that the algorithm essentially discovered a previously unknown forensic marker. Instead of using minutiae, which are the branchings and endpoints in fingerprint ridges traditionally employed for fingerprint comparison, the algorithm was looking at the angles and curvatures of the swirls and loops present at the center of each fingerprint.
If the AI system was able to make a new, potentially revolutionary discovery with just tens of thousands of publicly available fingerprints. "Just imagine how well this will perform" when trained on millions of fingerprint data," the researchers said. However, according to forensic experts, the study didn't show anything groundbreaking or uncover facts that were previously unknown.
The fact that the shapes at the center of fingerprints are "somewhat correlated" between fingers has been known since the early days of fingerprinting, forensic science professor Christophe Champod said. The Columbia researchers have "oversold" their research because of their lack of specific forensic knowledge, the professor added.

Eighth grade survivor "runs" for her life
E. Garcia, Social Media Manager
Amy Flores is a healthy track athlete and she loves what she does. Was it always like this though? When Amy was only eight years old she got diagnosed with a rare kidney cancer called Wilms Tumor.
Wilms Tumor is a type of cancer that starts in the kidneys. It is the most common type of kidney cancer in children. Tumor suppressor genes generally hold back tumor growth and control cell growth.
The symptoms were first noticed when Amy was in the third grade. Everything seemed to be normal until she began to throw up and was sent home. After being sent home, her father noticed a bump on Amy's stomach and knew something was not right with the health of his daughter. They scheduled an appointment with her primary care pediatrician, and received devastating news. The doctor told them that she had to be treated at a hospital, due to a tumor forming in her kidneys. Flores was then rushed to the hospital.
Amy fought this cancer for a whole year, missing most of the third grade. Fortunately, most kids with Wilms Tumor survive and go on to live normal, healthy lives, just like Amy does! When Amy went back to school months later, her classmates welcomed her with love and open arms, although even though some classmates asked if she was a guy because she lost all her hair.
Amy Flores was born October 30th, 2003 and is currently in the 8th grade.

Abstract
A seismic reflection survey conducted directly over two bottom-mounted hydrophones in the north-east Pacific Ocean is used to explore how surface source locations affect ambient noise interferometry for the two hydrophones. The airgun shots are used as an approximation of an impulsive sound source at a discrete location, which allows us to investigate spatial contributions to the cross correlation between the two hydrophones. Simulated and experimental results are presented. The contributions to the cross correlations are explained by different reflections off the surface or bottom of the ocean, and a discussion about what can and cannot be inferred about the emergence to the Green's function is presented.

Frangipani, the sweet-scented tree
Frangipani is certainly the most famous flower in South Pacific, at least the one symbolizing the most the tropical paradise in cold countries.
The name « Frangipani » comes from a legend of the 12th century. It is said that an Italian man called Frangipani made a very appreciated fragrance, and 400 years later, European
travellers in the Caribbean discovered this tree with a similar smell, and called it Frangipani Tree.
It is part of the most beautiful tropical trees. So it is common to find it in gardens, usually decorating and delicately perfuming with its pretty white, yellow or bright pink flowers.
The Frangipani tree, or Tipanie, is originated from South America, and was introduced in Tahiti in 1852.
In Eastern Asia, it has been planted next to temples for thousand years. The Frangipani tree is said to be immortal, because flowers and leaves still grow even after being uprooted.
Way beyond its beauty, the Frangipani tree has an important place in traditional medicine. Used in decoctions, it is rich in essential oils and in substances with high antibiotic properties, giving it excellent antibacterical, antifugal and antiviral properties.
Used in infusions on the body after the bath, it perfumes pleasantly and tones up the skin.
This plant grows slowly but is easy to reproduce: it is just needed to cut the branches when they have no
flowers, let them dry for a few days, then plant and water them.
In French Polynesia, the Frangipani flowers don't have a lot of medicinal uses. They are used for their perfume and their beauty, as ornament or decoration,
and they are used in the elaboration of wonderful and delightfully perfumed necklaces or crowns.
As the cut branches can be kept for a very long time before being planted again, the Frangipani tree is considered as a symbol of immortality. Therefore, it has a very special place into the cemeteries for its supposed contact with the spirits.
In Asia, its bark is used as a strong purgative. In the West Indies, its latex is used as an anti-wart.
In modern cosmetic, the Frangipani flower is found in multiple cosmetic products with soothing properties, as well as in perfumery for its exhilarating and exotic fragrance.
In Asia, Tipanie flowers infusion can be applied on the body following the bath. This infusion will tone up the skin while perfuming it with subtle and delicate smell.

Maximum Performance for Voice, Data and Power in the Real World
Traditional testing methods do not accurately measure the performance of cabling under the strain of increasing bandwidth demand, high power PoE, and evolving wireless technology. That's why Berk-Tek developed a new 4-connector, 100-meter channel that measures cable performance with simultaneous transmission of voice, data and power in the real world. Berk-Tek testing measures the following:
- Mean Opinion Score (MOS) – A quality of service metric used mainly to measure VoIP.
- Frame Error Rate (FER) – A very rigorous test for IP data applications.
- Media Loss Rate (MLR) –A quality of service metric used to measure IP video (IPTV).
- Heat Rise from PoE – A measurement of how efficiently cabling can dissipate
This report will share:
- Real world application testing results
- How Berk-Tek designs and builds cables for the real world

Suqin Shen, and Hui Tian
Team psychological capital reflects the consistency level of individual psychological capital. It is a collective positive psychological state formed by team members in coordination and interaction, and a collection of positive psychological capabilities that promote team development. This paper defines the connotation of team psychological capital through the study of related literature, and introduces the structure of team psychological capital: common vision, team effectiveness, team resilience, team optimism, and team belonging. Three measurement methods of team psychological capital are proposed: individual psychological capital sum method, individual evaluation average method, and overall discussion method. On this basis, this paper analyzes the antecedent and outcome variables of team psychological capital from the level of individual variables and organizational variables. Based on the theory of social infection and cognitive convergence, the formation mechanism of team psychological capital is analyzed, and the development and management measures of team psychological capital are finally put forward.

Methyl mercury dynamics in a tidal wetland quantified using in situ optical measurements
Limnol. Oceanogr., 56(4), 2011, _PHONE_ | DOI: 10.4319/lo.2011.56.4.1355
ABSTRACT: We assessed monomethylmercury (MeHg) dynamics in a tidal wetland over three seasons using a novel method that employs a combination of in situ optical measurements as concentration proxies. MeHg concentrations measured over a single spring tide were extended to a concentration time series using in situ optical measurements. Tidal fluxes were calculated using modeled concentrations and bi-directional velocities obtained acoustically. The magnitude of the flux was the result of complex interactions of tides, geomorphic features, particle sorption, and random episodic events such as wind storms and precipitation. Correlation of dissolved organic matter quality measurements with timing of MeHg release suggests that MeHg is produced in areas of fluctuating redox and not limited by buildup of sulfide. The wetland was a net source of MeHg to the estuary in all seasons, with particulate flux being much higher than dissolved flux, even though dissolved concentrations were commonly higher. Estimated total MeHg yields out of the wetland were approximately 2.5 µg m−2 yr−1—4–40 times previously published yields—representing a potential loading to the estuary of 80 g yr−1, equivalent to 3% of the river loading. Thus, export from tidal wetlands should be included in mass balance estimates for MeHg loading to estuaries. Also, adequate estimation of loads and the interactions between physical and biogeochemical processes in tidal wetlands might not be possible without long-term, high-frequency in situ measurements.

text: To dissociate the influence of host age from length of exposure on acquisition of filarial infection, we examined the development of microfilaraemia and anti-filarial IgG4 in all ages of a naive population that became suddenly exposed to Brugia malayi as a result of transmigration. Responses in 247 transmigrants, who had settled for periods of several months up to 6 years in their new homesteads, were compared with those of 133 life-long residents. As shown in earlier studies, anti-filarial IgG4 increased with age in the indigenous population, whose age is equivalent to length of exposure. However, by examining transmigrants, it became clear that development of specific IgG4 was influenced by age, since levels of this antibody were consistently higher in transmigrant adults than in transmigrant children, despite an equal length of exposure to filarial infection. Examining microfilaraemia, it was confirmed that infection establishes more rapidly in adults than in children.


In nature, compounds with cycles of five and six links are very abundant.Penicillin G molecular model However, the three- and four-membered cycles appear very rarely in natural products.
Stability in cycloalkanes
These experimental facts suggest the greater stability of the five- or six-membered cycles with respect to the three- or four-membered ones.
In the year 1885, the German chemist Adolf von Baeyer proposed that the instability of small cycles was due to the tension of the bond angles. The sp 3 have natural bond angles of 109.5º, in cyclopropane these angles are 60º, which is a deviation of 49.5º. This deflection translates into stress, which causes instability in the molecule.
Cyclobutane is more stable since its bond angles are 90º and the deflection is only 19.5º.
Baeyer applied this reasoning to the other cycloalkanes and predicted that cyclopentane should be more stable than cyclohexane. Angular Strain
Observe the bond angles of the different cycloalkanes:
bond angles in cycloalkanes
Since the natural angle of an sp 3 is 109.5º, von Baeyer reasoned that the most stable cycloalkane was cyclopentane.
However, we know that Baeyer was wrong since the lowest energy (most stable) cycloalkane is cyclohexane. Bayer's error is in assuming that cycloalkanes are planar and that the only type of strain they present is due to bond angles. Types of annular tension
There are three types of tension that destabilize cyclic compounds:
1.- Bond angle tension, due to angles that differ from 109.5º.
2.- Eclipsing tension, due to nearby atoms or groups of atoms, which suffer repulsions (steric tension).

Let them eat cake! Twelve facts about cake
Cake, in one form or another, has been around for centuries. From its humble beginnings as a flattened, hardened bread, the concept of 'cake' has changed significantly to become an essential part of British culinary identity.
Here at Oxford Dictionaries, we love a bit of etymology to go with our cake, and today we share some language facts about our favourite afternoon snack.
Twelve facts about cake:
1. In Roman times, eggs and butter were often added to basic bread to give a consistency that we would recognize as cake-like, and honey was used as a sweetener. The distinction between Roman concepts of cake and bread was therefore very blurred.
3. According to The Diner's Dictionary, the proverb 'you can't have your cake and eat it' first appears as early as the 16th century, however, the proverb 'a piece of cake' was not coined until the 20th century and is possibly related to the cakewalk competition.
4. The word 'cake' comes from Middle English kake, and is probably a borrowing from Old Norse (compare the modern Norwegian kake, as well as Icelandic and Swedish kaka). It is also related to the German word for cake, Kuchen. Interestingly, the French, Spanish, and Italian words for 'cake' do not share a common root; they are gâteau, pastel, and torta respectively. They are, however, related to the English words 'gateau', 'pastry', and 'tart'.
5. The meaning of 'cake' has changed over time, and the first cake (according to the original Oxford English Dictionary definition), was:
'A comparatively small flattened sort of bread, round, oval, or otherwise regularly shaped, and usually baked hard on both sides by being turned during the process.'
6. The Oxford Dictionary of Superstitions cites examples of cakes being made for superstitious reasons. A 'soul cake', in various parts of England, is made on All Souls' Day and kept for good luck, while a 'burial cake' was kept close to the head of a dead person, and one had to have a piece of the cake in one's mouth when looking at the body.
7. The French word for cake – gateau – entered the English language in the 19th century and was often used to refer to a savoury dish that included meat. The OED has citations for 'veal gateau' and 'fish gateau'.
8. The famous saying, 'let them eat cake', was attributed to Marie Antoinette upon learning that her people had no bread, but the saying was probably much older. In his Confessions, Rousseau refers to a similar remark being a well-known saying, and another version 'why don't they eat pastry?' is attributed to Marie Thérèse, who was born more than a century before Marie Antoinette.
9. The original cup-cakes were so called because they were cakes made from ingredients measured by the cupful, and a citation in the OED from 1887 reads, 'Mis'Steele made some cup-cake to-day... She put a cup of butter and two whole cups of sugar in it.'
10. In Scotland, and parts of Wales and northern England, cake took on the specific meaning of 'a thick, hard biscuit made from oatmeal'. From the 17th to 19th centuries, Scotland was humorously known as the 'Land of Cakes' and until comparatively recently, according to The Diner's DictionaryHogmanay was also known as 'Cake Day' from the custom of calling on people's houses at New Year and having cake.
11. The French language has borrowed the word 'cake' to refer to various sorts of rich fruit cake.
12. Birthdays used to be celebrated quite differently, as the first birthday cake was originally a cake given as an offering on a person's birthday. The first citation of 'birthday cake' in the OED, from 1785, reads 'His birth-day cakes crowd on him in such store, The house abounds.'

Polypropylene–EPDM blends were prepared on a twin screw extruder with a rubber content 0–40 vol%. On these materials the yield strength and the notched tensile behaviour was studied as function of test speed (10 24 –10 m/s). With an infrared temperature camera the heat development in the notched samples is studied as function of test speed. On fractured materials the structure of the deformation zone is studied in the middle of the sample, perpendicular to the fracture plane. The yield strength increases with the strain rate and at high rates this increase is stronger. The fracture energy shows a complex relationship with test speed. At low test speeds the fracture energy decreases rapidly with test speed. At intermediate test speeds however the fracture energy increases with increasing test speed. On the micrographs of the high speed deformed samples the formation of a melt zone was observed. The temperature rise in the notched samples starts at approximately 10 25 m/s, and increases almost linearly with the logarithm of the test speed. At 10 m/s a surface temperature increase to 908C was observed.

Heteromultimerization between different inwardly rectifying (Kir) potassium channel subunits is an important mechanism for the generation of functional diversity. However, little is known about the mechanisms that control this process and that prevent promiscuous interactions in cells that express many different Kir subunits. In this study, we have examined the heteromeric assembly of Kir5.1 with other Kir subunits and have shown that this subunit exhibits a highly selective interaction with members of the Kir4.0 subfamily and does not physically associate with other Kir subunits such as Kir1.1, Kir2.1, and Kir6.2. Furthermore, we have identified regions within the Kir4.1 subunit that appear to govern the specificity of this interaction. These results help us to understand the mechanisms that control Kir subunit recognition and assembly and how cells can express many different Kir channels while maintaining distinct subpopulations of homoand heteromeric channels within the cell.

Remote inspection use cases
person sits at desk with coffee and laptop at work
Training employees while they are working increases the chance the learning will be fully assimilated. Using CloudVisit, a colleague or supervisor can guide an employee through the process of performing a task and explain the standards for performing that task. Then, the expert can observe the employee while he or she performs the job and provide feedback on how to improve performance.
What is the best way to determine if someone can complete a take successfully? Have them complete the task in a controlled environment where their work can be assessed, and they can receive immediate feedback. CloudVisit supports this approach by allowing an expert to see the work being done. The expert can capture the results, compare it to pre-defined criteria, and enter comments.
Surveys are used to gather information for a design or for an estimate of what is involved to complete the task. By using CloudVisit, the information that needs to be collected can be identified in a checklist, these items can be captured in the session recording, and the results can be found by searching for the item and jumping to that location in the playback.
A common task for deployment supervisors is to inspect a site and the personnel working on the site to ensure everything is ready for work to begin. CloudVisit gives deployment supervisors and others a way to complete inspections seamlessly and document the results for others to review if necessary.
Instead of waiting to see the results at the end of the project, users of CloudVisit can establish times when the crew will connect with an expert throughout the project to ensure timely and quality results. This approach also can be used to check on equipment, include engineering when needed, troubleshooting, and change requests.
Most jobs have a list of acceptance criteria to determine if the work has been completed successfully. CloudVisit users can import a site-specific checklist, capture the results for each checklist item in the session recording, and flag any items that need to be completed or corrected as part of the acceptance process. Although results may vary, we've seen 33% decrease in the number of defects found and 40% improvement in cycle time. In third-party audits, we've seen 62% more audits pass, 90% reduction in audit defects per site, and 67% reduction in return visits.
Typically, after work on a site has been completed, someone or a group of people must spend a lot of time preparing the handoff package (historically, this included 100s of pictures) to show the work was done properly. With CloudVisit, the handoff package is the session recording with some additional files uploaded into the session folder eliminating the need for hours and hours of post-processing.
Final approval
Ideally, the group doing the work, the company they are working for, and the customer participates in the same CloudVisit session so everyone is aligned and final approval is expedited. Given this isn't always feasible, customers can access the CloudVisit recording after the fact to capture their input and indicate if the site is approved or highlight what needs to be done for the site to be approved.


1 January 2015 - THE FIVE-COLOUR RIVER
G'day folks,
Happy New Year to you all. Let's hope it has everything that you wish for.
Now, here is something different. The Cano Cristales river, or the five color river, as the locals call it, starts its journey at the foot of a Colombian mountain range - Micarna. It continues flowing eastward to meet with the Guivero river. A traveller happening upon the crystal river may find five different colors in its waters: yellow, blue, green, black and red.
The reason for this fiesta of colors is actually biological. It is caused by the materials the many types of algae living in the river produce. The hue of the colors depends on the time of year and the swiftness of the current.
The river, which does look as if it was a path to paradise, is truly an ecological wonder, and while most of the year it hides behind a costume of dim greens and cool blues, for a short time each year it blooms with a rainbow of dazzling colors.
During the Colombian wet season, the water flows too quickly to hold the color, and during the summer there isn't enough water, but for a short few months between these two seasons, there are many types of algae colonies that for thousands of years have continued to give the river its name.
 Now, check out these shots:
Clancy's comment: Nature is amazing, eh? Many humans imagine that they are the greatest inventors.
I'm...
Think about this!


Quick Answer: What'S This Song Called?
Can Siri identify songs?
What are female singers called?
Can you hum a song to Shazam?
Shazam is also built-in to Siri, so you could just ask Siri what a song is and she'll tell you. The downside to Shazam is that it requires the original song to identify, so you can't just hum or sing into it, and tagged songs can't be bookmarked for later reference.
How do I get Google to identify a song?
On your phone, touch and hold the Home button or say "Hey Google." Ask "What's this song?" Play a song or hum, whistle, or sing the melody of a song. Hum, whistle, or sing: Google Assistant will identify potential matches for the song.
What is that song App?
ShazamWhen you want to know "what is that song" playing at a bar, club or party, Shazam will identify it for you in a matter of seconds. What's more, you can use it on Android, iPhone, and Windows Mobile phones. The only disadvantage with Shazam is that it doesn't identify tunes by humming.
How can I find a song by humming?
Can Siri identify a song by humming?
Apple Siri and Google Voice Assistant You can activate the voice assistant by saying Siri or OK Google. Then say 'What song is this'. … If you are using a Windows Phone, Microsoft's Cortana can also perform a similar search and help you recognize songs by humming.
Can't find a song I heard?
Use Shazam or MusicID. These are popular apps that analyze sounds and identify songs from their database of recordings. If you've got Shazam on your phone and hear a song you can't identify and don't know anything about, activate the app and hold it toward the audio source and wait for a result.
What are 4 singers called?
A group of four singers or instrumentalists is called a quartet or quartette (French: quatuor, German: Quartett, Italian: quartetto, Spanish: cuarteto, Polish: kwartet). A quartet can also be a composition for four instruments or voices.
What is that song called?
SoundHound can listen to you sing the song you want to identify. SoundHound does pretty much everything Shazam does and even more. Just like Shazam, SoundHound can tell you what song is playing at the tap of a button. But let's say that song you just heard ended before you could whip out your phone and open Shazam.
How do I identify a song?
Google built song identification into the Google search app on Android. Arguably part of Google Now, identifying songs is one of the many "OK Google" voice commands you can use on Android. To identify a song, you can just say "OK Google, what is this song?"—provided you have the OK Google feature enabled.


I bet everyone has that dream of dusting off that musical instrument, they bought years ago only to have it sit in storage, and finally get some lessons, especially as COVID has us vegetating at home anyways. Israeli company Tonara, the makers of the popular music practice app Tonara Studio, announced the launch of Tonara Connect, a music education marketplace that connects music teachers and students worldwide on a digital platform.
Technology around music education often looks to cut teachers out of the picture, while Tonara puts teachers right at the center. Tonara's app, Tonara Studio, launched in 2018, helps thousands of teachers stay connected and engaged with their students while motivating practice in between lessons.
"The future of music education is being driven by innovation, connectivity, and empowerment. We strive to deliver on all three in the products, content, and global communities that we build." - Cara Katzew, VP Marketing of Tonara.
While Tonara Studio helps teachers manage and motivate their students, the newly released Tonara Connect, allows music teachers to grow their studios by removing geographical limitations and making it easy for students from around the world to find them. This becomes especially prudent as many millions around the globe face quarantine or lock-down restrictions due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus, and find themselves with nothing to do.
On Connect, music teachers are able to create rich, professional profiles, showing potential students who they are, and how they can help them achieve their goals. Music students entering the marketplace can then find the teachers that match their music learning needs, and initiate lessons.
The marketplace currently boasts over 800 teachers and is growing every day, connecting people worldwide through music education on a digital platform.
"We have the potential to do something truly big here. Not just in scale, but in impact. We've all witnessed the power of music education, how it unites, and how it heals. This is something that everyone in the world should have access to and Tonara is here to reshape the future of music education and make that possible". - Tonara CEO, Ohad Golan.
The company was founded in 2008 by Yair Lavi and Evgeni Begelfor. To date, Tonara has raised almost $10 million as of last Series C funding round.

Ability to detect and to isolate faults which may affect the system depends essentially on instrumentation architecture. This is why, before designing an industrial supervision system, determination of monitoring ability based on technical specifications is important. Used methods in the consulted literature are based on a model given as a set of collected data in different modes (faulty and normal) or under complex differential equations. In the present paper it will be shown how the behavioral, structural and causal properties of the bond graph model can be used for monitoring ability analysis (which part of the system is over, just or under constrained) with no need of calculation. The developed method is applied to the designing a real time monitoring of an electromechanical system.

A drug delivery ion pump constructed from organic electronic components also works in plants. Researchers from the Laboratory of Organic Electronics at Linköping University and from the Umeå Plant Science Centre have used such an ion pump to control the root growth of a small flowering plant, the thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana).
In the spring of 2015, researchers from the Laboratory of Organic Electronics at Linköping University presented a microfabricated ion pump with the ability to pump in the correct dose of a naturally occurring pain-relief agent exactly where it was needed. This was a first step towards effective treatment of such conditions as chronic pain. In the autumn of the same year, the researchers presented results showing how they had caused roses to absorb a water-soluble conducting polymer, enabling them to create a fully operational transistor in the rose stem. The term "flower power" suddenly took on a whole new meaning.
"Around 10 years ago, we started considering applying our ion pump drug delivery devices to plants. It wasn't until several years later that we teamed up with Professor Markus Grebe and colleagues at the Umeå Plant Science Centre and finally discovered that the ion pump could be of great use to plant biologists, says Daniel Simon, Associate Professor and head of the organic bioelectronics research area in the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Linköping University.
Assistant Professor David Poxson, Laboratory of Organic Electronics, teamed up with the group's chief chemist, Assistant Professor Roger Gabrielsson, to develop new ion pump materials capable of transporting and delivering powerful plant signalling compounds such as the hormone auxin.
Dr. Poxson then worked closely with biologists at the Umeå Plant Science Centre to investigate highly-resolved delivery of auxin to the roots of living thale cress, Arabidopsis thaliana. This plant is to plant biologists what the fruit fly Drosophila is to researchers working in animal research: a major model organism.
The result: Electronically-controlled gradients of plant hormone were taken up by the roots. Dr. Poxson and co-author Dr. Michal Karady followed the internal auxin response with the help of fluorescent reporter proteins that change their fluorescence intensity in the presence of auxin. They observed that the internal auxin response and even the roots' growth rate could be controlled by the ion pump delivery of auxin.


2.4. Blockade Interaction in a Magnetic Field
The interaction between Rydberg atoms is strongly influenced by external electric and magnetic fields. A small magnetic field for instance lifts the Zeeman degeneracy and thus strengthens the Rydberg blockade, especially if there is a non-zero angle between the interatomic and the quantization axis. This has been discussed in M. Saffman, T. G. Walker, and K. Mølmer, "Quantum information with Rydberg atoms", Rev. Mod. Phys. 82, 2313 (2010). Here we show how to reproduce Fig. 13 using pairinteraction. This Jupyter notebook and the final Python script are available on GitHub.
As described in the introduction, we start our code with some preparations. We will make use of pairinteraction's parallel capacities which is why we load the multiprocessing module if supported by the operating system (in Windows, the module only works with methods defined outside an IPython notebook).
%matplotlib inline
# Arrays
import numpy as np
# Plotting
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Operating system interfaces
import os, sys
# Parallel computing
if sys.platform!= "win32": from multiprocessing import Pool
from functools import partial
# pairinteraction :-)
from pairinteraction import pireal as pi
# Create cache for matrix elements
if not os.path.exists("./cache"):
cache = pi.MatrixElementCache("./cache")
We begin by defining some constants of our calculation: the spatial separation of the Rydberg atoms and a range of magnetic field we want to iterate over. The units of the respective quantities are given as comments.
distance = 10 # µm
bfields = np.linspace(0, 20, 200) # Gauss
Now, we use pairinteraction's StateOne class to define the single-atom state \(\left|43d_{5/2},m_j=1/2\right\rangle\) of a Rubudium atom.
state_one = pi.StateOne("Rb", 43, 2, 2.5, 0.5)
Next, we define how to set up the single atom system. We do this using a function, so we can easily create systems with the magnetic field as a parameter. Inside the function we create a new system by passing the state_one and the cache directory we created to SystemOne.
To limit the size of the basis, we have to choose cutoffs on states which can couple to state_one. This is done by means of the restrict... functions in SystemOne.
Finally, we set the magnetic field to point in \(z\)-direction with the magnitude given by the argument.
def setup_system_one(bfield):
 system_one = pi.SystemOne(state_one.getSpecies(), cache)
 system_one.restrictEnergy(state_one.getEnergy()-100, state_one.getEnergy()+100)
 system_one.restrictN(state_one.getN()-2, state_one.getN()+2)
 system_one.restrictL(state_one.getL()-2, state_one.getL()+2)
 system_one.setBfield([0, 0, bfield])
 return system_one
To investigate the \(\left|43d_{5/2},m_j=1/2;43d_{5/2},m_j=1/2\right\rangle\) pair state, we easily combine the same single-atom state twice into a pair state using StateTwo.
state_two = pi.StateTwo(state_one, state_one)
Akin to the single atom system, we now define how to create a two atom system. We want to parametrize this in terms of the single atom system and the interaction angle.
We compose a SystemTwo from two system_one because we are looking at two identical atoms. Again we have to restrict the energy range for coupling. Then we proceed to set the distance between the two atoms and the interaction angle.
To speed up the calculation, we can tell pairinteraction that this system will have some symmetries.
def setup_system_two(system_one, angle):
 system_two = pi.SystemTwo(system_one, system_one, cache)
 system_two.restrictEnergy(state_two.getEnergy()-5, state_two.getEnergy()+5)
 if angle == 0: system_two.setConservedMomentaUnderRotation([int(2*state_one.getM())])
 return system_two
Now, we can use the definitions from above to compose our calculation.
def getEnergies(bfield, angle):
 # Set up one atom system
 system_one = setup_system_one(bfield)
 # Calculate Zeeman shift
 zeemanshift = 2*system_one.getHamiltonian().diagonal()[system_one.getBasisvectorIndex(state_one)] # GHz
 # Set up two atom system
 system_two = setup_system_two(system_one,angle)
 # Calculate blockade interaction
 eigenenergies = (system_two.getHamiltonian().diagonal()-zeemanshift)*1e3 # MHz
 overlaps = system_two.getOverlap(state_two)
 blockade = 1/np.sqrt(np.sum(overlaps/eigenenergies**2))
 return blockade
With a little boiler-plate, we can then calculate and plot the result with matplotlib.
plt.xlabel(r"$B$ (Gauss)")
plt.ylabel(r"Blockade (MHz)")
if sys.platform!= "win32":
 with Pool() as pool:
 energies1 = pool.map(partial(getEnergies, angle=0), bfields)
 energies2 = pool.map(partial(getEnergies, angle=_URL_, bfields)
 energies1 = list(map(partial(getEnergies, angle=0), bfields))
 energies2 = list(map(partial(getEnergies, angle=_URL_, bfields))
plt.plot(bfields, energies1, 'b-', label=r"$\theta = 0$")
plt.plot(bfields, energies2, 'g-', label=r"$\theta = \pi/2$")
plt.legend(loc=2, bbox_to_anchor=(1.02, 1), borderaxespad=0);

To assess the sustainability of bananas on the German market, the Action Alliance for sustainable bananas has commissioned an external study. It comes to the conclusion that important steps have already been taken since a large part of the German supermarkets already sell certified bananas. However, banana cultivation remains a challenge: the use of pesticides, the repression of trade unions, the lack of cooperation with small farmers' associations, discrimination against women and migrant workers, and the payment of insufficient wages. In the study, the views of various stakeholders were analysed, and recommendations were made on the further orientation of the ABNB.

INA168NA/250, Монитор тока [SOT23-5]
The INA168NA/250 is a high-side unipolar Current-shunt Monitor features a wide input common-mode voltage range, low quiescent current and enable use in a variety of applications. Input common-mode and power-supply voltages are independent and can range from 2.7 to 60V. Quiescent current is only 25µA, which permits connecting the power supply to either side of the current measurement shunt with minimal error. The monitor converts a differential input voltage to a current output. This current is converted back to a voltage with an external load resistor that sets any gain from 1 to over 100. Although designed for current shunt measurement, the circuit invites creative applications in measurement and level shifting.
- Complete unipolar high-side current measurement circuit
- Wide supply and common-mode range
- Independent supply and input common-mode voltages
- Single resistor gain set
- 25µA Typical low quiescent current
- Green product and no Sb/Br


An escape attempt can be made for each throw in the chain.
If the chain is escaped, the remaining throws in the chain are not performed.
Typically, the throws at the start of the chain do very little damage, while
those throws towards the end of the chain are very strong. If all the throws
in a throw link are successful they can easily deplete half of a characters
health. Despite their amazing power they have many escape points making it
unlikely for someone who is actively trying to escape to suffer the entire
throw chain. Note that it takes considerable practice and memorization to
learn the variations of many linking throws. These variations are essential
to using throw links effectively. If you only know a single variation for a
throw, it becomes very likely it will be escaped if the player has fought you
before. Unlike standard throws, if you escape a throw chain neither of you
will have the advantage.
-Running Throws are usually performed like standard throws, except they are
performed while you are running. They usually do more damage than standard
throws. Only a handful of characters possess running throws. Those
characters who attempt to throw during a run and dont possess these throw
types will use a standard throw instead.
-Tackle Throws come in 2 phases. First is the actual tackle which hits
medium. Almost all characters can tackle while running, but many also have
stand alone tackles. Almost, if not all tackles are escaped by pressing
right punch. The tackle itself does very little damage, it is the
second phase of a tackle that causes the majority of damage. Most characters
have the 5 hit mounted punch attack. The mounted punches have an escape
point before the first punch and before the fourth punch. Mounted punches
also have 2 variations creating a guessing game for both escape points. The
punch series can start with either a left or right punch and are escaped by
pressing the opposing punch. If for example the tackle starts with a right
punch, it is escaped with a left punch. The fourth punch can be changed up
to be either a left or right punch and are escaped in the same manner they
are during the first escape point. Some characters can perform throws or
linking throws during a tackle. In most cases these throws can be performed
after the third punch in the mounted punch sequence. It could be hasty to
say so, but in my experience most throws during a tackle are escaped with
left punch+right punch. So while tackles hit medium and almost if not all
characters can use them, they can have up to 3 escape points severely
limiting the amount of damage you can hope to achieve with them. Tackles
also have a point in which they can be reversed. A just input of
left punch+right punch just before your characters back hits the ground will
reverse the tackle leaving you on top. Marduk is an exception to this
however. His tackle can be escaped, but not reversed. Furthermore if
Marduk's tackle connects you will only have one opportunity to escape
his next attack. The escape method for his attacks is the same as
it is for characters using mounted punches. If he initiates the attack with
his left arm, escape with right punch. Marduk has some mounted attacks that
use both arms, to escape these attacks you must either press nothing or if
you prefer you can press left punch+right punch.
-Tossing Throws are best employed near a wall. This allows you to tack on
additional damage by entering a wall game. Tossing throws not only have the
initial escape chance, but some can have their damage reduced with a well
timed ukemi/tech roll. Some tossing throws allow you to juggle your opponent
instead of letting them hit the ground for the full throw damage. The proper
juggle will almost always yield more damage than letting the throw finish.
-Wall Throws are new to Tekkken 6. To my knowledge, only Lili and Marduk
and King have wall throws. Wall throws can only be used on opponents who are
wall stunned. There damage is on par with back throws. Also like back
throws, wall throws cannot be escaped.
Tracking: Tracking refers to how well an attack will succeed against evasion.
Tracking is a property of attacks. Some attacks have very good
tracking while others have very poor tracking. Some attacks only track well
to the left or right making side-stepping in the other direction a viable
form of evasion. For characters or players who rely heavily on side-stepping
for defense, understanding each attacks tracking is essential.
Ukemi/Tech Roll: Tech rolls or Ukemi is a defensive maneuver used when you
are knocked down. It is a form of rapid recovery from knock-down. Press
either punch when you contact the ground to quickly roll and recover to your
characters left. Press either kick when you contact the ground to quickly
roll and recover to your characters right. Pressing forward will spring
your character up the moment he touches the ground. Most of the time a
rolling ukemi will be your best option when knocked down, but they arent
completely safe depending on the recovery of the move used to knock you down.
Ukemi's can only be used when you make contact with the ground with your
back first, though there are a few exceptions to this such as Paul's
Thrasher. In addition, many attacks that violently smash you into the ground
dont allow for the use of ukemi. You can't use ukemi during bounces either.
Despite its limitations, this is still a great defensive tactic and one you
should use at almost every opportunity. As mentioned under throws, certain
throws such as King's Giant Swing can be tech rolled out of to negate some
of the throws damage.
Unblockable: All characters have at least 1 unblockable attack. The most
obvious difference of unblockable attacks is that they can not be guarded
against. These attack simply ignore guard. Most unblockable attacks have
a very long wind-up time that is often accompanied by colorful electricity or
swirls. Unblockable attacks also tend to be extremely powerful. Some are so
powerful in fact, that it would only take 2 of them to kill a character at
full health. Unblockable attacks have unrivaled priority. During the frames
in which an unblockable attack can connect, no normal attack can hope to
strike by advantage of priority. Unblockable recovery is average to slow,
but in no way as terrible as their wind-up. Most unblockable attacks hit
medium and have good range. Despite having so many strengths, their wind-up
is in most cases more than enough to make up for all of these strengths and
then some. Unblockable's with even an average wind-up are practical to use
in more situations. Those with the terribly long wind-ups must be used
carefully and in conjunction with their cancel commands to achieve any
success that isnt derived from pure luck.
Wake-up Game: Wake-up games dont vary much from character to character, but
remain a good source of damage if your wake-up game is good. Your wake-up
game is essentially your skill at dealing as much damage as possible before
your opponent is able to stand back up after being knocked down. In its
purest form the wake-up game is no different than fighting a standing
opponent in a typical Tekken match. It is just far less complex because
your opponents options while on the ground are severely limited and at the
same time your options for striking them is more limited. High attacks are
useless in a wake-up game, so you must omit all of those moves as options.
The wake-up game will be explained in greater detail in the basic combat
section of this guide.
Wall Break: Wall Breaks are similar to ground breaks. After smashing an
opponent into a wall with a powerful attack it will be completely destroyed
revealing an additional portion of the stage. More importantly are your
options available against an opponent who has just been used to destroy the
wall. The victim in this situation will be in a very rare and unique state.
They will be in a complete state of wall stun, but there will no longer be a
wall behind them. So the attacker must switch to a type of combo or juggle
instead of going into their wall game options. It is likely that characters
who excel at juggles will do more damage where those who excel at wall
punishment will do less damage. Because wall breaks are so new to Tekken new
methods of dealing optimal damage in this rare situation are still being
discovered/created. It seems unusual to me, but so far Ive only found a
single stage with a breakable wall. That stage is the Temple Grounds. I
suspect there are other stages with breakable walls and Id appreciate emails
that have verified other stages with breakable walls.
Wall Game: Unlike the wake-up game, wall game doesnt refer to a smaller less
complex game within Tekken, but rather it refers to how well a character can
utilize the walls in a stage. For example, Anna has an excellent wall game
where as Asuka has

For African immigrants, selecting the best childcare options and being aware of available resources is not always straightforward. Finding and paying for childcare frequently hinders working or going to school.
In this article, we will be helping you understand childcare options and benefits available in the UK by sharing information on certain aspects that pose a frequent challenge.
What are child care benefits?
Child care benefits give working or studying parents the assistance they need to care for their kids at work or school.
Can African immigrants access childcare benefits?
Child Care benefits vary from country to country. Set requirements and policies can influence whether you get childcare support and what benefits you get.
As an African parent looking to relocate abroad, you must check out the requirements and policies surrounding childcare benefits in the country you are relocating to. If that country is the UK, we have made it easier for you.
How to apply for child care benefits as an immigrant African parent in the UK
As an African immigrant in the UK, the UK government welfare system needs to become your best friend. The application for childcare benefits will be made via the government's welfare system, reasons why it's essential to know how they operate. Here are steps on how to apply for your child care benefits in the UK as an immigrant African parent:
- Visit the authentic and official government website or contact the local Jobcentre Plus office.
- Applying for a universal credit that combines benefits such as support for childcare costs can be helpful.
- Get the important and necessary documents, which include proof of identity, immigration status, and housing documents, among others.
What are the requirements for applying for childcare benefits in the UK?
To be eligible to receive child benefits, a person must fulfill certain requirements. If you're relocating to the UK from overseas (other countries that are not the UK), you must furthermore demonstrate that you:
- Make the UK your primary residence, except for brief vacations when your kid must usually dwell with you.
- Be able to live in the United Kingdom.
- Prove your child stays or lives with you at the time of application. This is necessary because if you're not from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, you can't apply for childcare benefits without your child being present.
Child benefit is available if you have "settled" status under the EU Settlement Scheme. Verify the extra qualifying requirements if you hold a "pre-settled" status.
As an immigrant African Parent that doesn't have a job when you arrive in the UK, you can only be eligible if:
- Have a self-employed or working family member.
- You, or a family member, were laid off in the UK and are now looking for work or enrolled in training.
- You've worked in the UK before but cannot work due to an injury or illness.
- Usually, they reside in the UK and receive child benefits before spending less than a year overseas.
- Are considered refugees if they made Class 1 or Class 2 National Insurance contributions while working overseas and did so within three months of returning.
- You are eligible to receive benefits and have been granted discretionary leave to enter or remain in the UK.
- You have been granted permission to remain as a displaced person and are eligible for assistance.
The policies or laws protecting children in the UK are very different from those of Africa, and you need to get familiar with them. As an African parent looking to relocate to the United Kingdom, it's never too early to research to ensure your child is adequately catered for.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Can I access childcare benefits if I give birth in the UK?
Yes, you can. As soon as you register your child's birth, you can begin to receive child benefits. You must claim them within three months of the child's birth.
- How much will I be paid in childcare benefits?
If you qualify, the weekly amount you get will be £24 for your first kid and £15.90 for each additional child. You can contact the childcare benefits office if you haven't been paid or paid a lesser amount.
- How do I become eligible for childcare benefits?
There are documents and requirements necessary to be eligible for childcare benefits, some of which have been provided in this article.

Let's return to the statistics question we considered in Part A: Can a person develop skill at playing a game of chance like Push Penny? Note 9
Let's say that a very determined person played 100 rounds of Push Penny with the following results (the number of hits out of four pushes per round):
Note: This is an ordered list (i.e., the first round was three hits out of four pushes, the second was two out of four, and so on).
Do these results suggest that our player has developed skill in playing the game? How might we analyze these data to answer this question? One approach would be to compare these 100 scores to the scores for a player who has no skill -- in other words, a player who is just making "random" pushes.
In order to do this, you must have a description of a random player -- specifically, you need to know the probability that a random push will hit a line.

Studies on some Physicochemical Properties of the Plant Gum Exudates of Acacia senegal (Dakwara), Acacia sieberiana (Farar Kaya) and Acacia nilotica (Bagaruwa)
The physicochemical properties of gum exudates from three Acacia tree species (A. senegal, A. sieberiana and A. nilotica) in Batagarawa, Katsina State, were determined and compared. Data generated from the study confirm that there are a number of physicochemical differences between the gum exudates. Physicochemical properties vary among the three samples studied within the following ranges: moisture (13.40-16.20%); water solubility at 300C (38-45%); pH of 25% solution (4.50-5.00); relative density of 20% solution (300C) (1.23- 1.32); melting temperature (289-3200C); relative viscosity of 1% solution (20.18-24.80); total ash (3.30- 3.54%); nitrogen (0.38-0.42%); protein (2.51-2.77%) and total soluble fibre (77.99-80.41%). Analysis of all the samples showed no tannin content. Determined cationic composition of the gum samples shows calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), sodium (Na) and potassium (K) as the predominant minerals. Copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) were not detected by this study. Despite the physicochemical differences among the samples studied, values of physicochemical parameters obtained compare well with those reported in previous studies on Acacia gums in many parts of the world. There is great potential for the exploitation and application of these gums industrially.

What is the strongest geometric shape when it comes to bridges?
Now you are getting into the kind of specificity that is
necessary. Woods greatest strength is against compression along the growth
axis. The way trees grow is the best evidence for this fact. So the
strongest figure out of wood would be one which carries most of the load as
compression and not bending of the members and is stable. Anything built out
of triangles would be able to transfer a force in almost direction into forces
along the sides without collapsing the figure. Some other kind of material
might indicate a different kind of figure.
