Gathering of the Tribes
Dynion Mwyn holds certain religious symbols to be of primary importance. Each God and Goddess is represented by a totem animal which symbolizes the power of the deity in our daily life. This relationship between animals and deities, has over the eons, built a complex relationship of religious rituals, energies of the land, and magickal practices. This same philosophy is applied to trees, plants, mountains, buildings, jewelry, springs and the weather. Every Land or tribal location has a Sacred Centre of Divine Being. Following is a summary of major Welsh symbols including totem animals and their divinities, places, and things. :
The Owl of Wisdom is associated with Bloeddewedd, and is a symbol of knowledge.
The Stag is associated with Cernunnos. This is the aspect of the wild hunt in which the spirits of the dead are transported to the underworld. The horns of the stag are symbolic of the Lord of the Animals. Also associated with Merlin.
The Serpent is also associated with the God Cernunnos and is found on Torcs, the sacred neck ornament. Some serpent Torcs also have a ram's head which symbolize the power of nature and animals.
The Horse is associated with the Goddesses Epona and Rhiannon. This represents the power and fertility of the horse connected to the Kingship of the clan.
The Bear is associated with the Goddesses Artio and Andarta and the Gods Arthgen (Arthur) and Artogenus. The Bear symbolizes the King's connection to the land as well as the Constellation Arcturus, The Great Bear.
The Bull is associated with the God Esus, trees, and the three Cranes.
The Boar is associated with the Goddess Ceridwen and the God Math. The Pig is thus closely associated with shape shifting transformative powers as well as necromancy and flight. Other important totem animals are:
The Raven is associated with the goddess Morrigna,
Salmon of Knowledge is associated with the Goddess Cerridwen.
The Hare is associated with, and the Goddess Cerridwen.
The Ram is associated with the God Cernunnos.
The Celtic Cross is the equal armed cross in a circle which is the symbol of male and female energies confined only by the boundaries of the Universe associated with the Goddess Donn.
The Winged Ankh represents eternal life and strength of the soul associated with the Goddess Donn
The Pentacle represents spiritual and earthly power; the point of the pentacle is always pointed up, meaning good, never down, which symbolizes evil, associated with the God Amaetheon.
Cromlech: This is a large stone placed upon two upright stones to make a able or altar. It was always placed in the center of the circle.
Cairns: These were either large stones or a pile of stones that were placed on high ground, such as a hill, and used to worship their deity.
Viereckschanzen: These are roughly rectangular wall or ditch constructions that appear in the La Te/ne period from middle France. Inside of these rectangular wall and ditch enclosures, which also quite often had elaborate gate constructions, there often appear deep pits which in some cases still contained wooden statues of "gods" and a number of offerings. Equal pits, but without the surrounding wall and ditch constructions, have also been found on the British isles. Sometimes also small houses appear inside these Viereckschanzen, which in some cases appear to be the precedessors of later Gallo-Roman temples.
Portal Tombs: Also called dolmens, they consisted of three or more standing stones capped typically by a large monolith and the dead would be buried under an earthen mound. Erosion over the millenia caused these structures which were built between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago to appear like an altar or table, hense the term dolmen.
Druid Sigil: The origin of this is unknown, however, it is commonly seen as a leaved wreeth with two staves running through it.
Awen: The three rays of light known as, The Awen, form a symbol of the Devine name and concentre upon the stone of speech as do the rays of the summer solstice and of the spring and autumn equinoxes upon the altar stone at Stonehenge. The Awen symbolizes the source of Light in the cosmos and in man whence come the Druidic virtues of courage, brotherhood, and selfless service.
Torc: This was often a ceremonial neck piece worn by the Druids and often worn by Celtic hierarchy. The actual significance of this is unknown.
Triskel:The triskell is considered British origin, finding its way from Scotland, Wales and Cornwall over to Brittany. The 3 arms are said to represent Earth, Wind, and Fire. It is often said that the triskel represents the three druidic virtues or the three stages of life to the Celts
We believe that when we die, we travel to that land beyond the veil of Maya, where weary souls repose within the realms of the Horned One and the Great Mother, to grow young again and to be reborn upon the earth. This is that fair land of nod called GWLAD YR HAV or the Summerland. It is the land to which the Wiccae go when they leave this life on earth. This is the abode of the Gods and Goddesses.of the Welsh Tradition.

UNZEN VOLCANO, Western Kyushu
(June 1, 1996)
Slow deformation of lava dome after the halt of magma supply was monitored successfully with GPS and EDM analyses by the Shimabara Earthquake and Volcano Observatory (SEVO), Kyushu University. The deformation shows the tendency that endogenous dome is flattening: the maximum subsidence and lateral movement during this one year are about 1.5 m and 1 m, respectively; the averages are 0.5 and 0.4 m, respectively. The temperature measurement of fumarolic gas at the top of the dome by SEVO showed that gas had cooled from 500-700 deg. C to 300-500 deg. C during this one year.
Several small block-and-ash flows occurred on 10, 12 and 13 February 1996, leaving one-year quiescence, though magma supply had stopped since February 1995. According to the Shimabara Earthquake and Volcano Observatory (SEVO), Kyushu University, these flows descended to SE, traveling about 1.0 km from the source; surge-like (ash-dominated) deposits were associated with the flows. These deposits were colored in reddish brown, and the temperature of lava blocks in them was measured >60 oC using the infrared camera of the Public Work Research Instiute. These flows were generated by partial collapse of old lava (lobe 7 or 8). The witness told that the ash-cloud accompanied by these flows was much similar to those of pyroclastic (block-and-ash) flows that took place frequently during 1991-94. Simple rockfalls (without ash-cloud) also occurred simultaneously and reached about 1.5 km from the source, beyond the front of block-and-ash flows!
No volcanic earthquakes occurred before and after these events. Tiltmeter close to the dome did not show any change during these events. These partial collapses may be due either to cooling shrinkage of the dome or seasonal temperature change.
Generation of pyroclastic flows and major deformation of lava dome had stopped in February 1995. Refer to Decade Page for the _PHONE_ eruption history.

Up your bilingual recruiting game
How credit unions can recruit bilingual talent
Many credit unions are actively recruiting bilingual talent at all levels (from tellers all the way to the executive suite!) to better serve their linguistically diverse members. However, they are facing the same problem that other organizations face: that hiring and recruiting bilingual talent is challenging. By taking the following steps, your credit union will be able to save time, effort, and money, all while ensuring the most qualified bilingual talent serves your members and effectively communicates your credit union's value to the community.
Step One: Revise Your Bilingual Talent Strategy
Some credit unions think they can just hire a couple of Spanish speaking tellers and they are good. Understanding the language needs of your members and of your community (if you want to grow) is crucial. Do a comprehensive analysis to the commonly spoken languages in your area. While many areas have large Spanish speaking populations, don't just assume Spanish is the only language of your community. Try to figure out or estimate how many members or potential members have limited English proficiency and develop a plan to hire enough bilingual talent to serve them. For example, if 25% of your members speak primarily Spanish, then you should consider having at least 25% of your staff be fluent in Spanish and ensure that you have personnel to provide services such as mortgage lending, business lending, investments, etc. in Spanish. If not, your credit union could have a "gap" or "deficiency" where it cannot effectively serve its members due to the language barrier.
Step Two: Provide Detailed Language Qualifications in Job Postings
I have seen countless job postings for bilingual postings where the technical skills are clearly defined, but there is one very small line stating "bilingual (English/Spanish)". It was clear whoever created the job post had no real idea about the bilingual part of the job. If the language skill matters, then you do need to include detailed language qualifications and specifics for how the language will be used on the job. Explain how the candidate will utilize reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills in that language. Will the candidate be expected to translate mortgage documents into Spanish? Will the candidate be helping Mandarin speakers open member accounts? Will the candidate be a community liaison into the local Polish community?
Also, if being bilingual is truly a major component of the job, then bilingual skills should be heavily weighted in the decision process. Don't just say bilingual skills are required, make it required. Many credit unions place a surprisingly low weight on the bilingual skills, which puts the credit union at risk of hiring an unqualified (from the languages aspect) candidate. In however way your credit union weighs qualifications, make sure bilingual skills are either the biggest or one of the biggest factors in making a hiring decision.
Ask that when a candidate applies, that they demonstrate proof or explain why they are qualified for the role from a language perspective. Can the candidate prove the targeted language is their native language? If not, can they demonstrate they studied the language or have extensive work experience in the language? You must make sure the candidate's language skills are just as strong as their technical skills.
Step Three: Initial Language Screening
Languages are one of the most difficult skills to verify in the recruiting process. Few people who are bilingual have credentials that prove it. Often candidates develop the skill through years of study and practice. That is why it is so crucial to conduct an initial screen of the job candidate's language abilities. Unfortunately, some candidates, intentionally or unintentionally, claim to be bilingual when they really are not. Just because someone took a year or two of high school language courses or downloaded the Duolingo app doesn't mean they're qualified for a bilingual position.
Therefore, I suggest that credit unions implement an initial screening process so that they can identify the candidates with strong language skills for further consideration and eliminate the ones with weaker language skills. Some companies develop their own ad-hoc language screening processes, but these often consume valuable time and effort. ECLPS360 offers the Enterprise Cultural & Language Proficiency Screener (ECLPS), which is a platform where job candidates can take an automated assessment in either English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Arabic, or Russian.
Step Four: Final Screening
After a small group of finalists have been identified, I highly recommend that an additional and more precise screening of the candidates take place, especially if it is a position where the language skills are critical. This level of screening is more intensive, and expensive, than then ECLPS described above, which is why it should be deployed at this late stage. Language Testing International, offers language assessments developed by ACTFL, the leading organization that advocates for the teaching and learning of languages. Not only will the candidate receive a nice credential in the form of a certificate, but the results will help make the final decision.
Don't look at the ECLPS and LTI assessments as a cost, but as an investment. In the same way you pay to inspect a home before buying it to uncover major issues, you should invest in effective screening methods to ensure the bilingual candidates are truly qualified. Hiring an unqualified bilingual candidate will cost your credit union far more than the screening and assessment costs.
Step 5: Retain & Develop the Bilingual Talent
Building the proper workforce does not end when the candidate joins the credit union. Make sure that you retain that talent (as they are in high demand and hard to find!) to serve your credit union for years to come. Just like with many other technical skills, look for professional development opportunities focused on the language. If you feel that a member of your team has room to improve their language skills, seek opportunities to raise their language skills and the investment will soon payoff.
Now you have a basic overview on how to improve the bilingual recruiting process at your credit union. Every credit union should have bilingual talent on their team to serve an America that is increasingly globally minded and diverse. Plus, that bilingual talent is the first step in gaining a competitive advantage over your competition and opening new markets for growth. I am also available to speak to and consult credit unions and industry associations about this topic.

Leaders Performance Advisor Rachel Vickery discusses the importance of front-loading strategies when moving on from failure and setbacks in high-pressure scenarios.
"I often talk about the difference between fixing broken and creating awesome," Rachel Vickery tells the Leaders Performance Podcast.
The performance coach, who guides and supports high performers to excel, lead and thrive in high-pressure and high-stakes environments, is discussing the importance of preparing athletes for the high-pressure scenarios they face in competition.
"You don't need a 'get out of jail card' in the first place if you haven't ended up in jail in the first place," she continues.
"Performance under pressure is less about what happens in the moment of pressure, it's more about 'what have you done?' everywhere else that's led you into that moment."
In the course of our chat, Rachel, a former gymnast who works across the worlds of sport, military and medicine, to name a few, explores:
- The importance of helping athletes to build a buffer and front-loading strategies to deal with human stress responses [6:00];
- The need for awareness and understanding of those stress responses so that athletes don't feel they are 'going crazy' [13:00];
- The role of imposter syndrome in feeding arousal states during competition [23:00];
- Why it is necessary to aim for excellence rather than perfection [28:00].

Automated support can be supplied, if two conditions are fulfilled. First, a set of suitable {\em qualitative} concepts has to be availiable as a tool box for constructing adequate models. Second, powerful computational machinery must handle model complexity. In this paper we introduce both a conceptual basis and a computational algorithm for dealing with mode switching physical systems. Our approach is more effective than current AI-based methods since it is based on general physical principles at the proper level of abstraction, expressed in terms of bond graphs. The latter formalism is extended in order to deal with mode switching. All meaningful causal modes and transitions between modes are derived automatically. A power electronic circuit serves a guiding example.}

How Long Can You Drive With Bad Struts (And Why)?
Exact Answer: 40,000 or 50,000 miles(approx)
It is always good to have an idea as to how can the struts be fixed even after knowing how long we can still drive with those damaged and worn-out struts.
There is a possibility of all the cars not having struts. Some of them will only have in the front and hence called the front struts. Due to the damaged struts, the tires, transmission system, and engine (components) are affected. The struts in the front wheels are called MacPherson struts. They are part of the steering structure as the car wheels rotate around them.
How Long Can You Drive With Bad Struts?
The car or the vehicle can still move a person from one place to another. But you must be very cautious about it.
 - Avoiding Hard Debris and Bumps- It is best to avoid them. This can be done by driving through the sides when coming across hard debris and bumps to avoid a terrible tremor. Thus, it is very much important to be keen.
 - Careful Acceleration- When driving on a straight road, no one likes to accelerate. But when driving with bad struts, we would definitely want to accelerate. If careful acceleration is done for stopping the car or while driving on the road, then we won't be afraid of the noises that worn-out struts make.
 - Gentle with Braking System- To avoid the possibility of an accident, you must be ensured to make no sudden brakes. Bad struts affect the braking system badly. Therefore, make sure they are corrected before the brakes stop altogether.
 - Being careful when driving around corners and on steep roads- Toying with the worn-out struts is something that is not supposed to be done. They can make the car go lean on one side, and thus it becomes a threat to life when driving on a steep road.

On an average75,000
Some25,000
Others40,000
Why Does It Take That Long To Drive With Bad Struts?
It depends on the number of dangers and it is good for you to know them.
 - Broken Joints- One common danger of bad struts is the breaking down of car joints. The joints of a car comes into danger when a car is vibrating. Thus, it leads to jolting and shaking which is normal enough if a car has bad struts.
 - Shattered Sway Bar- Including the sway bar, bad struts break down other parts of the suspension structure. It's purpose is to assist the car while taking a turn. When the sway bar gets shattered, it becomes difficult to take a turn.
 - Broken Spring- Spring is connected to the strut. If the strut is broken, even the spring won't be in a good condition. Bad springs leads to a rough ride and makes the car jolt throughout the drive.
 - Bad Power Steering- The steering is either a hydraulic or electric press. Even with one broken press, a car can be driven. But the ride will become hectic until we wish not to drive.
 - Broken Wheels- The wheels get affected by the bad struts which are part of the suspension structure. If any tire becomes flat when driving at a high speed, an accident can occur.
 - Damaged Shock Absorbers– Vibrations will be experienced all the way if the car shock absorbers are damaged. The damaged shock absorbers then will result to jolting and later on the vehicle will not be controlled.

Conclusion
We get to know from the above conditions and situations that it is possible to ride whenever we want with the worn-out struts.
We have come to know that we should ensure our well-being as well as our vehicles.
Bad struts can cause permanent damage to a car's part or parts as a whole. Therefore, it is necessary to know from the beginning how to fix them and maintain the car's interior as well as the exterior so that the car can be maintained well with less expense and can have graceful aging.

"Scientists can finally track [ancient Rome's] economic booms and recessions—thanks to the exhaust of its massive coin-making operation, preserved for centuries in Greenland's ice sheet"
Why does the amount of lead in the atmosphere tell us something about the Roman economy? "It's a proxy for coin production. That's the biggest thing," said Seth Bernard, a professor of ancient history at the University of Toronto. When the Roman government needed to pay for something, it ordered the creation of new silver coins. These coins were produced, in part, in mines on the Iberian peninsula. But these mines didn't excavate pure silver: Instead, they unearthed an ore of silver, lead, and copper that had to be smelted into silver. This process filled the air with lead pollution.
Once in the air, these lead emissions did not stay in one place. Instead, it wafted with the winds, eventually blowing into squalls and storms over Greenland. When these storms deposited lead-tainted snow or sleet over the Arctic island, the precipitation fused with the ice sheet and became its newest layer.
When compared with other studies, research suggests that Western Europe may have seen higher lead emissions during the Pax Romana than at any time prior to the Industrial Revolution, nearly 1,800 years later.
This finding reverses a widely cited study from the 1990s that reached almost exactly the opposite finding.

How to Identify the Age of a Windsor Chair
By Jan Czech
Windsor chairs, backs
chair image by hazel proudlove from
Windsor chairs were first manufactured in England in the early 18th century and are named after the English village where they were first made. Around 1740 they were produced in America, first in Philadelphia. As their popularity grew, they could be found in all areas of the country. Windsor chairs come in many shapes, colors and sizes. They are used as dining chairs, side chairs, writing chairs and high chairs. These versatile chairs have not gone out of style and have been in production for over 300 years.
Research Windsor chairs. Before you can accurately determine the age of a Windsor chair, it is imperative that you do your homework. Consult reference books on the topic like, "Windsor Chairs" by Wallace Nutting, and go to websites like Kovels that are devoted to antiques. Visit museums that feature exhibits on early American life. Talk to dealers and collectors.
Examine the chair's construction. An early English Windsor chair will have turned sticks driven through the plant seat to form legs. Above the seat the sticks will connect with a hoop to form the back and arm supports. These chairs had no stretchers, which are horizontal dowels that connect the legs, and no nails were used to hold the chair together
Look at the chair's legs. An American Windsor will have angled legs, whereas the English chair legs were straight.
Check the chair's plank seat to see how thick it is. Generally, older chairs will have thicker seats.
Count the chair's spindles. Generally, the older chairs will have the most spindles.
Study the chair's composition. Windsor chairs were crafted from a variety of woods like pine and birch, with more than one type used in a single chair. A chair with mahogany parts can be dated to the late 19th century because mahogany was difficult to obtain before then.
Determine how the chair is finished. Windsor chairs were painted to hide the variety of woods used to make them and are found most commonly in green, but other colors include shades of red, blue and yellow. A clear finish is rare and may mean the chair has been stripped and refinished.
Consult an expert. Ultimately, an expert on Windsor chairs is the only person who can definitively date your Windsor chair and tell if it is original or a well crafted reproduction.

The barrel cactus looks round. Characteristics of the Genus. Interestingly, the seeds from this plant are usually infertile. Although pencil cholla is found in all soil types, it prefers sandy and heavier bottomland soils, often along fence rows and under trees from bird deposits. Cylindropuntia, called cholla, a prickly pear relative, grows with segmented cylindrical stems that can reach 10 feet tall. Some types of desert cactus include prickly pears, saguaros, cholla jumping cactus, and barrel cactus. When it is completely ripe, the fruit will split open exposing the bright, deliciously red flesh. It has fairly short, white, or light brown spines, 10 to 30 per areole, that allow the green stem color, purplish in times of cold weather, to be clearly visible. Examples of some chollas are Cylindropuntia bigelovii (Teddy Bear Cholla), Cylindropuntia versicolor (Staghorn Cholla), and Cylindropuntia leptocaulis (Desert Christmas Cactus). Also known as the hanging cholla, it is native to the South Western United States and Sonora. There are many other types of succulents in the world, but they lack areoles, places where the thorns (spines) grow.

Ancient Mean Curvature Flows and their Spacetime Tracks. (arXiv:1901.05481v1 [math.DG])
来源于:arXiv
We study properly immersed ancient solutions of the codimension one mean curvature flow in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, and classify the convex hulls of the subsets of space reached by any such flow. In particular, it follows that any compact convex ancient mean curvature flow can only have a slab, a halfspace or all of space as the closure of its set of reach. The proof proceeds via a bi-halfspace theorem (also known as a wedge theorem) for ancient solutions derived from a parabolic Omori-Yau maximum principle for ancient mean curvature flows. 查看全文>>

Australia: the next culinary capital?
A food museum could put Australia firmly on the global food tourist map, but defining our national food culture could be a challenge, according to an Australian tourism expert.
From Sweden's Disgusting Food Museum and the Netherlands' Dutch Cheese Museum to the Philippines' Desert Museum and Spain's Museu de la Xocolata, countries all over the world are increasingly capitalising on the lucrative food traveller market – according to the World Food Travel Association, around 53 percent of holidaymakers are food travellers.
Tourism expert and Edith Cowan University researcher Dr Eerang Park believes that food travel could be a golden opportunity for Australia when international travel resumes post-COVID. However, the first step will be understanding what makes Australia's cuisine unique.
"We need to prepare for beyond the pandemic," Dr Park says. "We can tap into culinary tourism by positioning Australia as a destination of choice for a unique food experience.
"Australia has some incredibly diverse offerings for food tourists, from modern gastronomy to traditional Indigenous cuisine. We should showcase this to Australians and to the world."
More than just pavlova and Vegemite
Dr Park says while Australia is home to some iconic foods – such as Vegemite, Tim Tams and lamingtons – the key to a successful food museum will be in defining our food culture.
"Australia is well-known around the world for its high-quality produce, particularly our fresh food and wine," she says. "But how do we express our food culture and identity while also embracing our vast and diverse heritage and Indigenous history?
"Food tourism is deeper than just a few special dishes – it needs to go beyond the food to the culture and wider experience."
Hungry for knowledge
Dr Park has researched gastronomy travel around the world to understand what attracts holidaymakers. Her latest study explored the motivations of food tourists who visited China's Hangzhou Cuisine Museum, which features lifelike models of dishes from different historical periods, and found that providing an authentic and engaging experience was key.
"Food museum visitors want an immersive experience with the ability to taste and enjoy the food while learning about its origins and history," Dr Park says. "Around the world, we're already seeing a gradual shift in museums from look-but-don't-touch monuments to more interactive places for visitors to explore and learn."
Dr Park believes the opportunity for an Australian food museum is ripe for the picking.
"When the world recovers from the devastating impacts of COVID-19, what better way for people to reconnect, explore and engage than through food?"

Various factors like climate change and population increase have limited water management evaluation. In South Korea particularly, although the management of water quality and water quantity has recently been integrated, a comprehensive policy has not yet been identified. This study, therefore, aims to propose a methodology for evaluating water social service for 18 basins near major water resources in South Korea. It aims to promote advanced water resource management, secure water equity, and improve inadequate policy implementation. In addition, it proposes a methodology for comprehensive water management evaluation linked with integrated river evaluation with respect to water quality and water quantity. Accordingly, contrary to the common assumption that the entire population has easy access to the supplied water, the status of water service was assessed objectively. The status of water management per sector was also visually represented, through which the vulnerabilities of water management could be intuitively diagnosed. Based on the possibility of utilizing the study results to determine the basic direction for water management, the methodology of this study has been proposed as a tool for establishing an efficient water management policy.

The proposed system integrates a double-prism system and a scanning mirror system to supply a compact flexible view. The kinematics of the imaging system is analyzed based on a simplified model initially to investigate the workspace and identify the kinematic performance. A more rigorous analysis of kinematics of the system is then made based on the ray tracing method.

From Sméagol to Gollum: Mechanical Stress and Bone Remodelling
Author(s) Nicole Pace
ABSTRACT
This imaginary transformation from Sméagol to Gollum is a dramatization of the illusive repercussions of mechanical stress affecting bone. This paper presents the main ideas of mechanical stress and bone remodelling from a novel's perspective. The object of this study is to provide evidence for new ways to explore bone's functional adaptation to mechanical stress made through the copious interpretation and integration of new and existing literature. It tackles the underlying biology of bone cells and how they detect and react to strain stimuli. The different types of mechanical demands in daily activities are sifted through and any misconceptions found fallible in literature are refined. A personal experience of a stress fracture is reviewed to parallel the implications that lead to the incident with the findings on the link between mechanical stress and bone remodelling. Some factors regarding age, gender and ethnicity and the interplay with mechanical stress influencing bone remodelling are considered. Brief overviews of three new medical novelties in bone healing are outlined, hoping that these interventions of proper medical techniques can be a change for the better: one from Gollum to Sméagol rather than vice versa.
1. Introduction
In the movie adaptation of the great work of fiction that is "The Lord of the Rings", movie director, Peter Jackson presents us with the lengthy and multi-faceted transformation that led the weak hobbit Sméagol to turn into the quasi-immortal Gollum. In this imaginary change, bones must have been broken and reformed tens of times at the least, over its nine-hundred-year period. Thus in a few minutes, we witness enormous variation in the creature's overall structure; facial features; garb, gait and pace. Even its diet and behaviour transformed due to the changes in bone structure. This dramatization is a realistic and palpable one albeit being only fantasy.
Now it is not the purpose of this study to discuss this matter at any length but that this helps to illustrate these changes of a human's bones and their effects, and that may exemplify to a general audience the effect of bone remodelling over a period. Firstly, the different aspects of this essay will be individually discussed beginning with mechanical stress, followed by bone remodelling. Definitions will be brushed up and a walk through the cycle of bone remodelling and its fundamental constituents comes next. The different types of mechanical demands in activities of daily living will be sifted through and any misconceptions found fallible in literature are refined. The next part of the essay will focus on the association between the two and the effect that mechanical stress has on bone remodelling. Here, an account of stress fracture injuries is presented and the implications of mechanical stress on bone remodelling debated. The main factors affect bone remodelling through mechanical stress such as age, gender and ethnicity where possible. A brief overview of new medical applications in bone healing is outlined. Ultimately, the general conclusion from all this body of research is showed.
2. Occupational Terminology
Bone is a living rigid tissue that is subtly renewed throughout a person's life. The bones that make up the skeleton are not there just for structural support for the other bodily components but they serve a variety of functions. This includes acting as levers for the surrounding muscles to permit locomotion and movement in several planes; protecting vital internal organs from accidental damage; offering maintenance of intra- and extra-cellular levels of calcium and inorganic phosphate; serving as a stockpile of cytokines and growth factors; and providing the proper medium for hematopoiesis within the bone marrow. In all this, bone must be as lightweight as possible to decrease the overall body mass yet have the mechanical ability to endure stresses whenever a force is loaded upon them. This is mandatory for being able to carry out the conscious functions effortlessly, such as simply walking up the stairs.
2.1. Mechanical Stress
In physical terms, stress is the measure of the internal forces within a continuous material where particles standing adjacent to each other exert these forces on one other. Romani et al. concluded that "whether the stress comes from the pull of a muscle or the shock of a weight-bearing extremity contacting the ground, it is defined as the force applied per unit area of the load-bearing bone" [1] . There is also another type of stress, the physiological one. This can lead to the flight or fight response or if the state of stress prolongs over a longer period this response is stopped but the stress can have severe negative impact on a person's mental and physical well-being. Of course, there are also links between such psychological stress and diseases like osteoporosis that effect bone growth [2] . However, this is not the object of this paper and is to be distinguished from the more physical type of stress, that is mechanical stress that is the subject of the paper.
2.2. Bone Remodelling
The bone remodelling cycle preserves the integrity of the skeleton by strict control of two essentially opposing processes; bone resorption and bone formation, through the complementary toil of its constituent cell types. Bone resorption calls for the removal of mature bone from the skeleton and is accomplished by the bone-degrading osteoclast. The osteoclast cell has an exocrine function that dissolves the minerals in bone and then degrades extracellular matrix proteins by using enzymes. On the other hand, bone formation also known as ossification is as its name implies the growth of new bone tissue for which the bone-forming osteoblast is responsible for. The osteoblast cell produces the organic bone matrix and helps in its mineralization. Last but not least within bone matrix, the osteocyte acts as a mechanotransducer [3] and has a specific role in orchestrating osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity. A fourth cell type, "the bone lining cell, is thought to have a specific role in coupling bone resorption to bone formation, perhaps by physically defining bone remodelling compartments" [4] .
3. Mechanical Stress
The quotidian natural forces experienced on bone are predominantly compression, tension, bending, torsion, and shear. Compression and tension are contrasting forces generated by attachments of ligament and muscle pulling on bone. Without cracking, compression causes bone to shorten and widen, thus reducing bone volume, while tension causes bone increase in volume as it lengthens and narrows. Miniscule levels of these forces cause bone to strain [1] . The mechanical aptitude of the bone's quality is reliant on material conformation of the bone's composite; geometry and architecture of the bone's network; and remodelling process repairing microdamage. These characteristics are influenced by external aspects like adaptation to the load itself and internal aspects like disease or aging [5] .
The elasticity and strength of the bone to bear a load is determined by its structure and material composition. Trabecular bone exhibits elastic properties due to its intriguing morphological arrangement [5] but can withstand stress according to the alignment of fibre matrix [1] . The stiffness of bone correlates rather well to tissue mineralization according to compression and bending tests conducted on cortical bone [6] and in fact cortical bone can withstand stress in compression better than in tension [1] .
Bone must be durable in a way that it is stiff to bear muscle forces or body weight, yet still able to resist deformation when the different types of mechanical stresses are applied on bone. Hence, throughout typical daily activity, bone must be able to shock absorb and deform accordingly when muscle forces are caused during nonimpact or impact exercises.
If the bone is made brittle in a sense that it is too stiff and unable to deform to an adequate degree, then the energy stored in the bone will be released and cause the structure to fail. Initially, microcracks will develop and eventually a full fracture will ensue. This may be observed in patients who suffer from osteogenesis imperfecta where the unfitting Type I collagen structure interacts differently with the hydroxyapatite crystals varying bone formation. In turn, collagen fibrils rapidly fail even at minor shearing forces [7] . On the other hand, if the bone is too flexible and deforms beyond peak strain thereby reaching the plastic range, it will also crack. Osteomalacia typically occurring in the elderly as it relates to factors like poor diet and being housebound lead to vitamin D deficiency. In basic terms, lack of vitamin D induces a fall in calcium and phosphate levels altering the mineralization process and deformed bowing on weight bearing bones is observed [8] .
Despite this, Crockett et al. argue that the "presence of microcracks in bone affects mechanosensing and is currently considered a crucial driver of the remodelling response by initiating osteoclastic resorption" [4] .
Acknowledging the influences required to maintain bone stability and the relationship with mechanical properties may lead to improvements in assessing a person's risk of fracture and in weighing the efficacy of new therapies and clinical tools such as prosthesis.

The 3 Key Factors in CPVC Welding Rod Reliability
As the saying goes, "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link." With an industrial system, the same rule applies. Though welding rod material accounts for a seemingly insignificant fraction of a system, if it fails—whether from corrosion, pressure or temperature demands—the whole system is affected.
Due to chlorinated polyvinyl chloride's (CPVC) inherent chemical resistance and overall performance, CPVC sheet is often fabricated for different industrial uses.
Whether the CPVC sheet is fabricated to be the tank lining in an air scrubber, for a storage tank built entirely out of CPVC sheet, or for a specialty fitting, the welded seams must maintain the strength and reliability of the CPVC material.
In each case, correct welding rod selection and effective welding techniques directly correlate to how long the system will last before requiring repair.

Understanding CPVC and Hot Air Welding
In CPVC formulation, the large chlorine atoms—along with protective additives used to enhance the resin—give CPVC increased temperature performance and fire resistance, among other important attributes.
With hot air welding, CPVC's increased chlorine content makes welding rod specification and welding technique especially important because the stiffer molecules require more heat and time to weld.
During hot air welding, both the welding rod and adjacent pieces of sheet are heated until they reach a melting state. This allows the material to soften and the molecules to move more freely.
As heating occurs, the pieces are pushed together for a certain amount of time at a specific pressure, allowing the surface molecules of each piece to entangle and bond together. The better the entanglement, the better the corrosion resistance and physical strength of the seam.

How To Increase Welding Rod Reliability
To lessen the likelihood that a fabricated seam will require early repair, the welding rod and sheet material should come from the same manufacturer, and be fabricated by a skilled, experienced welder.

1. Choose a Welding Rod With Equivalent Formulation to the Sheet
The molecular makeup of the welding rod must match that of the sheet being fabricated. If the welding rod does not maintain equivalent performance to the sheet in a certain area—such as corrosion or pressure resistance—it is likely to be the point of failure.
The variance in performance between two brands of CPVC material can be surprisingly significant.
Specifically, five primary performance tests should be considered for welding rod and sheet selection. Note that Corzan® CPVC is used as an example show how the performance of two materials with the same name can be vastly different.
 - An Izod Impact Rating is the ASTM standard for determining the impact resistance of a material. Corzan CPVC, for example, tests up to 10.6 ft. lbs/in.2 (22276.13 J/m2), which is approximately 10 times greater than some test results of generic CPVC.
 - The Heat Distortion (or Deflection) Temperature (HDT) is the highest temperature the material can withstand before deforming. Corzan CPVC is rated up to 200°F (93.3°C), while other brands have tested below 185°F (85°C).
 - The Tensile Strength of a material refers to how much force it can withstand and still return to its original shape. Corzan CPVC's is 7,410 psi, while alternatives have tested below 6,500 psi.
 - The Tensile Modulus defines stiffness, where lower values may indicate lower molecular weight or fusion quality issues. Corzan CPVC's is 388,000 psi, with alternatives testing near 350,000 psi.
 - The Vicat Softening Point is the temperature at which a material that has no definite melting point start to soften or allow a narrow specimen to penetrate the exterior. Corzan CPVC's Vicat softening temperature is 212°F (100°C) and other CPVC has tested near 194°F (90°C).
In these examples, if a fabricator used Corzan CPVC sheet and generic CPVC welding rods, the welding rods would likely fail under the harsh conditions of a processing application first.

2. Match the Welding Rod and Sheet Manufacturer
In addition to using a material with the same inherent molecular properties for both the sheet and welding rod, ensure it comes from the same manufacturer. Most sheet manufacturers also produce welding rods.
These manufacturers are able to achieve maximum chemical resistance from the finished material. Their processes ensure that the CPVC molecules have:
 - Melted and become completely disentangled.
 - Tangled back together with equal dispersion of the performance enhancing additives.
 - Ultimately entangled together as tightly as possible to minimize free volume.
If molecules do not completely entangle or minimize free volume in the finished sheet or welding rod, weaknesses in the material will accelerate the rate of degradation.
If the manufacturing process is maximized, not only will the material be more consistent and reliable in general, but it will also make effective entanglement between the welding rod and sheet more easily achievable during hot air welding.
Also, make the distinction between the distributor and manufacturer. Doing so is the safest way to ensure the welding rod maintains equivalent performance as the sheet.

3. Welding and Fabrication Effectiveness
The final step to achieve reliable seams is to use a fabricator or welder with the skill and experience to consistently achieve proper welds.
When properly welded, the fabricated system is expected to perform to approximately 80% of its nominal tensile strength—a weld efficiency factor of 80%.
Less qualified or detailed welders may create a cold weld. This is when the weld looks complete, but the molecules have not completely entangled. Depending on the system's chemicals and conditions, the seam can fail.
Consistent hot air welds that uphold the weld efficiency factor of 80% depend on correct equipment and material selection, proper weld preparation and correct structural welding.
Standards for thermoplastic welding were developed for the United States by the American Welding Society (AWS) and approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and for Europe by the DVS (German Welding Society). Each instance explains the requirements of welding specification and the operations to be followed.

We study quasiparticle dynamics in 3He-4He mixtures at low temperatures. In dilute mixtures the 3He part of the mixture behaves as a degenerate Fermi liquid, and can be described by Landau's Fermi liquid theory, treating collective exitation modes of 3He system as quasiparticles, which have definite energy and momentum. The superfluid 4He part acts as a background, and its velocity affects quasiparticle energy .
The properties of helium mixtures can be studied experimentally using vibrating wire resonators immersed in the liquid. The liquid damps the vibration of the wire, causing dissipation and a change to the effective inertia of the wire, which can be measured at different temperatures. As temperature is reduced, the viscocity of 3He increases, thus increasing the inertia of the wire, as more fluid moves along with it. The increased inertia is observed as decrease in the resonant frequency of the wire. When temperature is further reduced, the mean free path of quasiparticles exceeds the size of the experimental setup, and the resonant frequency of the wire begins to increase. Close to the zero temperature the mean free path becomes infinite, and the fluid can be described as a gas of ballistic quasiparticles. In recent experiments the resonant frequency, in the ballistic limit, surprisingly becomes less than that caused by the superfluid 4He alone . This is one motive for our theoretical research of the subject.
We solve numerically the Landau-Boltzmann equation for 3He quasiparticles in a discrete grid near the wire for different values of the mean free path. The effect of the wire is taken into account by using boundary condition for quasiparticle scattering from the surface of the wire. Both specular and diffusive scattering, or their combination, can be used. We have included the effect of Fermi liquid interactions, and the superfluid motion of 4He in the calculations. The confinement of the fluid is taken into account by assuming either diffusive or absorbing walls of the helium container. To mimic the geometry of the experiments we use a slab geometry, where the wire oscillates between two plane walls. For comparison, we use a cylindrical container (of radius b), concentric with the wire (radius a).
Once the quasiparticle distribution is solved, the force on the wire can be readily calculated. The results can be conveniently presented in terms of the mechanical impedance Z, using F=Zu, where u is the velocity of the wire. The results are shown in the figure on the left. The red line shows the main results in the slab geometry for diffuse wire and walls, the blue line shows results for a cylindrical container of radius b=8a with absorbing walls, and the green line is the same with radius b=80a. These are compared with the experimental results of Martikainen et al. (yellow crosses), and with hydrodynamic theory (thin dashed line for unlimited fluid and thick dashed line for a cylindrical container of radius b=8a). The parameters for all calculations in the figure correspond to a 3.6% helium mixture, and are obtained from independent measurements.
Our results show rather satisfactory agreement with experiments, taking
into account that no fitting parameters have been used. Especially, they
confirm that in the ballistic limit, the resonant frequency of the wire
becomes larger than at the high temperature end. Part of this overshoot
can be explained by noting that the normal component of the fluid (the 3He part plus some of the 4He)
decouples from the wire. The rest is explained by the Fermi liquid
interactions and the confiment. The fermi liquid acts like an elastic
medium, leading to increase of the oscillation frequency of the wire.

Types of Garage Door Sensors
There are various types of sensors involved in the proper functioning of a garage door. These sensors work under different mechanism whereby infrared signals is the primary mechanism. There are major four types of garage door sensors. These sensors include safety sensors, monitoring sensors, pressure sensors and Carbon dioxide sensors. These sensors have different purpose and functionality. The following is a brief description of each of these garage door sensors.
Safety sensors are used to prevent the garage door from closing on people, pets, cars, bikes and any other thing that moves in and out of the garage. They are hooked on the rails on both sides of the garage door and make use of infrared signals.
Monitoring sensors are used in homes that have more than one garage door. Their purpose is to notify the homeowner of whether the garage door is open. Some types of sensors can automatically shut an open garage door after a specified set time duration. These sensors offer extra safety since they prevent intruders from accessing your home.
Pressure sensors are usually fixed on the bottom edge of the door. They are used to sense the changes in pressure when the garage door is closing. These sensors change the garage door direction whenever they detect a change in pressure. They also help in preventing the door from closing on items and people underneath.
Carbon Dioxide Sensors
Carbon dioxide sensors are used to measure the carbon dioxide level inside the garage. They work continuously and monitor the levels of toxic gas inside the garage and check if they are hazardous. They are not commonly used but can help in safety guarantee to your people and pets.
You should always repair or replace your garage door sensors whenever an issue arises. They are very critical when it comes to the proper functioning of the garage doors. Call now for garage door repair Waltham MA


8. No absolute property in wild animals.
There is no absolute property in wild animals while living, and they are not goods or chattels1. There may, however, be what is known as a qualified property in them, either:
 (1) per industriam2;
 (2) ratione impotentiae et loci3; or
 (3) ratione soli and ratione privilegii4.
This qualified property is defeasible, for if the animal has no intention to return, but resumes its wildness and is at large again and not under pursuit, it is free and may be taken by another person


Elastomers the backside of the elastomer will show
Elastomers swell:

Elastomer swell can
occur either when the elastomer is affected by production fluids or treatment
chemical that are incompatible with it (chemical swell) or due to an increase
in temperature (thermal swell).

Chemical swell is
generally caused by the elastomer coming in contact with high API gravity crude
oils or incompatible treating chemicals; both of which have a fairly high
percentage of aromatics. Chemical swell generally permanent and nonreversible
once the
Source of the swelling
has been removed.

Thermal swell on the
other hand is purely due to an elevation in temperature resulting in the
elastomer expanding due to this increase in temperature. This expansion also
results in an increase in the interference fit between the rotor and stator
thereby in an increase in operating torque as well. Thermal swelling can be
predicted and is not permanent. Once the temperature decrease the thermal
expression of the elastomer also decreases.

Bond failure:

A bond failure occurs
when the bonding agent that keeps the elastomer in the stator tube fails.
This can occur at two
interface is between the bonding agent and the elastomer. In this instance,
there is no elastomer test on the stator tube but there is bonding agent. A
view of the backside of the elastomer will show it to be smooth. The stator
tube will also be smooth with a gray or black color.

Explosive Decompression:

Explosive decomposition
is also known as Gas permeation occurs when gas; under pressure; enters the
elastomer matrix and expands due to a pressure drop. When the gas expands, it
often results in blister or bubbles forming within the elastomer. This pressure
drop can be the results of the event such as the fluid level equalizing in the
wellbore after a shut down or from the pulling of the pump.
 The expanding gas within the elastomer matrix
can sometimes expand to the point that the elastomer ruptures. This is called
explosive decompression. The rapidly
decompressing of the gas entrained within the elastomer matrix tears and chunks
the elastomer when it expands.

Delamination:

The word delamination
contains the word lamination which means "layer". In elastomeric terms, this
means that the elastomers had not knit through its cross-section resulting in
layer-like striation within the elastomer. This is often the result of
temperature during the injection process. These lamination or layers create
weak areas within the elastomers and a prime location for gas that has
permeated into the elastomers to gather. When a pressure drop occurs, the gas
has entered these laminated areas expands thereby tearing these weak areas.
Visually looking at the laminated areas, the internal surface of the laminated
are smooth; unlike a torn surface where the surface are rough and jagged.

Improper Rotor Spacing:

Improper rotor spacing
is not a material or application related failure but a failure due to improper
installation procedure. For a given set of well condition, the sucker rods will
stretch a given amount. This stretch is dependent upon the rod size, total
dynamic head and the effective cross-sectional areas of the pump. If the proper
amount of stretch is not accounted for, the rotor placement within the stator
could either be too high or too low. In either case, excess stresses are placed
on the rotor and sucker rods and may result in a torsional fatigue of the
either the rotor or the sucker rods.

In case of not enough space out:

Rotor runs on the tag
bar, thus putting the rotor in compression and potentially causing premature
failure of the rotor and tag bar.

If a torque anchor is
not used the additional torque of the rotor running on the tag bar could result
in the stator/tubing unscrewing.

In case of too much space out:

Reduced contact with
the pump stages & over pressuring of the pump or excessive unidirectional
bending of the rotor causing it to break.

Dry run:

A pump that has run dry
its elastomer hard, brittle and extensively cracked. In an extreme run dry
condition, the contour will be completely gone.

Abrasive wear:

Abrasive wear occurs
when the elastomer is worn from the presence of abrasives in the produced
fluids. As the percentage of abrasives increases, the chances of prematurely
wearing the seal lines that are formed by the interference fit between the
rotor and stator also increase. The hardness and angularity of the pumped
abrasive can also affect the wear rate.

The total differential
pressure seen across the pump as well as the pump's rotational speed play a key
role in how abrasive affect the elastomer. As a result of the elastomer
wearing, the slip within the pump increases and as a result, the production
will drop off.

 The data and the related case studies are
mentioned below at page no.6 & 7.

HMS Orlando was a Mersey-class wooden-hulled steam-powered (although fully rigged with sails) screw frigate built for the Royal Navy from 1856 to 1858 but not commissioned until 1861. The Orlando and her sister ship the Mersey were the longest wooden warships built for the Royal Navy. At 336 feet in length, HMS Orlando was nearly twice the length of HMS Victory, the flagship of Admiral Horatio Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar. At 5,643 tons displacement, she was certainly a large and impressive looking ship in her day. She was heavily armed, and in comparison to many of her counterparts was quite fast with an approximate speed of 12½ knots, achieving 13½ on trials.
The length, the unique aspect of the ship, was actually an Achilles' heel of the Mersey and Orlando. The extreme length of the ship put enormous strains on her hull due to the unusual merging of heavy machinery, and a lengthy wooden hull, resulting in her seams opening up. They were pushing the limits of what was possible in wooden ship construction:
Britain had built two long frigates in 1858 - HMS Mersey and HMS Orlando - the longest, largest and most powerful single-decked wooden fighting ships. Over 335 feet long, they suffered from the strain of their length, proving too weak to face a ship of the line in close quarters.[2]
In 1866 the Orlando was laid up and was sold for breaking in 1871.

The Mountain Boomer is a small sized (by dinosaur standards) bipedal dinosaur evolved from a Thescelosaurus-like ornithopod.
Female Mountain Boomers are generally 6 to 7 feet tall while smaller males are usually 3 to 5 feet high. The males have a more vivid coloration than the females. The Mountain Boomer are found everywhere ... but tend to nest in the more remote mountain regions where they sleep lives in caves or burrows. Its is extremely fast, swift and agile, easily being able to outrun a human or other predator. Additionally, it has a tremendous leap. The creatures are shy and reclusive, fleeing as defence. They have a strange wolf-like howl.

Son preference refers to a general preference by an individual or a group for male offspring over female offspring. Son preference may be evidenced by female infanticide, sperm sorting, or female fetus abortion, or it may simply exist as a psychological preference. Even a psychological preference may have an impact on the lives of offspring: preferred male offspring may be given more and better food, greater access to health care services, or greater access to education, for example.
Son preference is both a historical and a contemporary phenomenon. Historically, evidence of son preference exists for many civilizations, including ancient Greece, Rome, India, China, Japan, Korea, and Europe. The same is true for Arab and Native American civilizations, Australian aboriginal society, and historical Polynesia. In the twenty-first...

However, there are cases in which you will receive the error message even when your Internet connection is working just fine.
In this article, we will see how to fix the Microsoft Windows Store app when you experience 'the store needs to be online' issue.
Of course, apply the troubleshooting solutions from below only after setting up a proper internet connection – just make sure that your device is currently connected to Internet and your modem is working properly.
How can I fix the MS Store needs to be online error?
 1. Run a system file check
 2. Run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter
 3. Reset the Microsoft Store app
 4. Reinstall Microsoft Store
 5. Create a new Microsoft account
1. Run a system file check
 1. Type cmd in the search box and click on Run as administrator under the Command Prompt app.
 2. Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
 3. Wait while the scan runs – it might take a while depending on how many files are stored on your hard drive.
 4. Type and run the following commands (press Enter after each command line): Dism/Online/Cleanup-Image/CheckHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
If you received the Microsoft Store error after applying a new Windows 10 update or after installing certain software, you should run a system scan. In this way, you can search for system errors and address everything automatically.
Use a third-party system restoration app
The system scans are not always the best answer to problematic files, because they won't find all possible problems and glitches, especially when we'e talking about newly emerget issues.
A better way to scan your system for faulty files and software is to actually use a third-party app that was designed for this purpose.
