How to Hang a Dartboard in a Cabinet
A dartboard mounted on a bare wall can lead to pretty several holes inside the wall from darts that miss the target. 1 method to resolve this challenge is always to hang the dartboard within a cabinet that could support defend the wall from errant shots. Most cabinets are constructed from wood and have doors that will conceal the board when it really is not in use. You could hang a dartboard inside a wall cabinet within a handful of minutes with some simple hand tools.
 1. Measure the height with the dartboard cabinet and divide the measurement in half. Subtract that measurement from five feet eight inches, measure up in the floor to this height and spot a horizontal pencil mark around the wall.
 2. Find the wall studs just above the mark and note the centers on the studs around the wall using a pencil.
 3. Position the dartboard cabinet to ensure that its bottom edge is aligned with all the horizontal pencil mark. Adjust the board in order that the 4 mounting holes are aligned with all the centers on the two wall studs, then adjust the angle in the cabinet using a level. Drive a two 1/2-inch wood screw by way of every single of your pre-drilled holes within the back in the cabinet in to the studs making use of a energy drill having a lengthy screw bit.
 4. Attach the mounting bracket for the dartboard towards the two hole places within the center on the cabinet having a screwdriver.
 5. Insert the mounting screw in to the center of your back from the dartboard. Drive the screw till it can be flush, then back it out a single complete turn.
 6. Attach the 3 rubber bumpers in the dartboard kit evenly spaced about the perimeter in the dartboard having a screwdriver. Then position the dartboard in to the cabinet and slip the head on the center screw in to the mounting bracket. In the event the board is also loose, get rid of it and tighten the screw slightly, then remount the dartboard. Rotate the dart board till the 20 position is pointing straight up.

Growing Degree Days
- The Growing Degree Day method (GDD) for estimating when insects will emerge is based on the average daily temperature. It is therefore a more accurate method for timing pest management strategies (spraying pesticides, etc.).
- GDD is calculated by averaging the daily maximum and minimum temperatures and then subtracting the base temperature as follows: ((maximum temperature + minimum temperature)/2) – base temperature.
- Insects, like plants and many other organisms, are dependent on temperature to develop. During warm years insects develop faster and become problems sooner. During cooler years development is slowed down. Problems from ornamental plant pests may be noticed weeks later in a cooler year than in a warmer year.
- The Pest Predictive Calendar is a monitoring tool to assist in predicting when susceptible stages of pest insects are active.
- Use GDD in combination with the Pest Predictive Calendar (click on link to access) to make timely decisions on implementing management strategies to protect your plants.

Grammar and Pragmatics
The research group Grammar and Pragmatics (GaP) unites linguists from two earlier research groups, Center for Grammar, Cognition and Typology (CGCT) and the IPrA Research Center, who study grammar (in a broad sense), pragmatics and their mutual relationship.
A basic tenet is the assumption that language can only be studied and properly understood through its use.
GaP is a partner of the international research network LingNet-Europe.


PolyDataFilters.delaunay_2d(tol=1e-05, alpha=0.0, offset=1.0, bound=False, inplace=False, edge_source=None, progress_bar=False)
Apply a 2D Delaunay filter along the best fitting plane.
This filter can be used to generate a 2d surface from a set of points on a plane. If you want to create a surface from a point cloud, see pyvista.DataSetFilters.reconstruct_surface().
tolfloat, optional
Specify a tolerance to control discarding of closely spaced points. This tolerance is specified as a fraction of the diagonal length of the bounding box of the points. Defaults to 1e-05.
alphafloat, optional
Specify alpha (or distance) value to control output of this filter. For a non-zero alpha value, only edges or triangles contained within a sphere centered at mesh vertices will be output. Otherwise, only triangles will be output. Defaults to 0.0.
offsetfloat, optional
Specify a multiplier to control the size of the initial, bounding Delaunay triangulation. Defaults to 1.0.
boundbool, optional
Boolean controls whether bounding triangulation points and associated triangles are included in the output. These are introduced as an initial triangulation to begin the triangulation process. This feature is nice for debugging output. Default False.
inplacebool, optional
If True, overwrite this mesh with the triangulated mesh. Default False.
edge_sourcepyvista.PolyData, optional
Specify the source object used to specify constrained edges and loops. If set, and lines/polygons are defined, a constrained triangulation is created. The lines/polygons are assumed to reference points in the input point set (i.e. point ids are identical in the input and source).
progress_barbool, optional
Display a progress bar to indicate progress. Default False.
Mesh from the 2D delaunay filter.
First, generate 30 points on circle and plot them.
>>> import pyvista
>>> points = pyvista.Polygon(n_sides=30).points
>>> circle = pyvista.PolyData(points)
>>> circle.plot(show_edges=True, point_size=15)
Use delaunay_2d() to fill the interior of the circle.
>>> filled_circle = circle.delaunay_2d()
>>> filled_circle.plot(show_edges=True, line_width=5)

Fatigue design consideration in columns under wave cyclic loading. - Research Paper Example
Engineering and Construction
Pages 11 (2761 words)
Designing of structures, particularly, columns and beams are measures that require several factors to be kept in focus. One of the most important factors of these is the fatigue design considered for columns under cyclic wave loading…
Studies reveal that there are significant calculations and estimations that need to be considered to determine the effects of wave conditions on these structures. The present study focuses on these factors, and the types of fatigues that are possible. This would bring into light the necessity for experts to consider an extensive study on the structures, the materials employed and the conditions of the waves such that effective measures may be applied in the process of construction. Introduction: Considering the issue of cyclic wave loading, it is necessary to understand that both cyclic strains and residual strains or strains that are permanent in nature are developed when a sequence of cyclic loads affect the underground soil. The permanent or residual strains stay behind at the end of each cyclic load reflecting a growing effect that gets accumulated with the effects left by earlier storms. Greater attention has been provided to evaluations of peak cyclic displacements that occur along with a storm. However there are greater needs for studies on issues of permanent displacement. While considering these issues, it is also necessary to take into consideration the relationships among the properties of the soil, cyclic loading as well as well as the residual strains and the shear stress (Marr et al, 1981, pp._PHONE_). ...

Los Angeles CO2 Measurements
Researchers: Cindy Yanez; Dr. Claudia Czimczik; Dr. Francesca Hopkins; Dr. Manvendra Dubey
Affiliation(s): UCLA, UCI, UCR, and LANL
Summary: Urban areas disproportionately emit carbon dioxide (CO2) and hence are important contributors to climate change. To examine fossil fuel CO2 emission patterns in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, we are collecting a suite of field measurements in various sites along an urban to rural gradient. Specifically, we measure total column CO2 abundance using a compact Fourier Transform Spectrometer, atmospheric radiocarbon content through analysis of vegetation samples (grass species), and surface CO2 levels using a cavity ringdown spectrometer. Our goal is to compare these observations between sites and assess their sensitivity to detect fossil emission sources.


text: Head motion during Computed Tomographic (CT) brain imaging studies can adversely affect the reconstructed image through distortion, loss of resolution and other related artifacts. In this paper, we propose a marker based innovative approach to detect and mitigate motion artifacts in three dimensional cone-beam brain CT systems without using any external motion tracking sensor. Motion is detected using correlations between the adjacent projections. Once motion is detected, motion parameters ( i.e. six degrees-of-freedom of motions) are estimated using a numerical optimization technique. Artifacts, caused by motions, are mitigated by using a modified form Feldkemp-Davis-Kress (FDK) algorithm which uses the estimated motion parameters in back-projection stage. The proposed approach has been evaluated on a modified three-dimensional Shepp-Logan phantom with a range of simulated motions. Simulation results demonstrate a quantitative and qualitative validation of motion detection and artifacts mitigation technique.

This Week in History
West Palm Beach
World War II
One of the more popular landmarks in Palm Beach County is the Little Red Schoolhouse, the first in southeast Florida (1886), which was restored and sits in Phipps Ocean Park in Palm Beach.
But Martin County has its own landmark: the New Monrovia One-Room Schoolhouse, believed to be the only remaining one on the Treasure Coast.
Built around 1930, the 25-by-30 wood-frame structure was one of the first schools built in Martin County to educate black children.
On March 9, county officials, former students and historians cut the ribbon on the newly-restored structure.
The schoolhouse is in what is now Port Salerno. Plats called it Salerno Colored School, but students remembered it as Mrs. Williams' School, for Costella Hannibal Williams, who moved to the area in 1929 and taught at the school until around 1960.
Warmed by a pot-belly stove, their way lit by kerosene lamps, black children looked to Williams as a mother figure.
Those children include retired Indian River Community College administrator David "Doc" Anderson, the first black elected to the Martin County School Board. He served 32 years on the panel, including stints as its chairman.
Anderson was a student in first through fourth grades, 1946 to 1950.
He said the four grades shared the one room, and one teacher: Williams.
"She was something else. She was quite a person. I don't know how she did it," Anderson said.
Williams — described as the "Matriarch of New Monrovia" in the 2000 Palm Beach Post book Our Century — retired from Martin County Schools in 1975. According to the Stuart News, she died at 97 in Palm City on April 19, 2003.
The schoolhouse eventually closed and the county used the building as a community center, then closed that in 1998 after building a civic center next door that bore Williams' name.
The schoolhouse fell into disrepair and was damaged by hurricanes Frances and Jeanne in 2004.
Martin County spent $115,000 to restore the schoolhouse; it received a roof, floor and ceiling, windows and doors, and a fresh coat of paint.
Three of the original walls were saved.
Inside, green chalkboards hang from the original locations on the wall, and replicas of the students' original wooden desks, built by South Fork High School carpentry students, line the room.
And there's even a potbelly stove.
Visitors view the interior of the renovated Monrovia One-Room Schoolhouse during its re-dedication March 9. The building, believed to be Martin County's last surviving one-room schoolhouse, was one of the first schools built in the county for black children. (Photo courtesy Martin County)

Valentine's Day isn't the only thing around here that's red. Palm Beach's "Little Red Schoolhouse," the only school in all of southeast Florida when it opened March 1, 1886, reopened this month after being closed for nearly a year.
Once again, the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach will host its "living history" program, which takes fourth-graders back in time for a mini-day in a one-room school of the 1890s.
The schoolhouse, in Phipps Ocean Park, was closed during a yearlong soil-remediation project in the park. The Foundation took advantage of the down time to renovate and update it.
When it opened, it was the only schoolhouse in what was then Dade County, which was a swath of scattered settlements stretching north to Stuart and covering an area the size of Massachusetts.
A county grant of $200 paid for lumber for the 22-by-40-foot building. Laborers donated time.
The Ladies Aid Society raised another $200 from the sale of embroidery and quilts to pay for furniture and supplies.
The first class had seven students ranging from 7 to 17 years old.
The teacher was Hattie Gale, from Kansas. She was all of 16, younger than some of her charges.
She was the daughter of the Rev. Elbridge Gale, a minister, educator and professor of horticulture, who retired to the area from Kansas in November 1884 and became one of the first to build a cabin on the west side of Lake Worth (the Intracoastal Waterway).
Hattie, who arrived in 1885, taught for only three months before the area hired a teacher for $100.
In 1901, the schoolhouse closed and a boat ferried the children to the new four-room school at Clematis Street and Poinsettia Avenue, now Dixie Highway, in West Palm Beach.
The original building was moved to Casa Bendita, the Palm Beach estate of John Phipps. It sat there for four decades, where it was used as a potting shed.
In 1960, shortly before Casa Bendita was razed, the schoolhouse was dismantled and moved to Phipps Ocean Park. In 1990, the Preservation Foundation restored the building to look like a one-room schoolhouse.
The building is closed to the public, except for the "living history" program.

This is Black History Month. More than one person over the years has wished for a time when we don't need a special day to single out one ethnic group's accomplishments. Until then, this column will endeavor to point out the long struggle of all minority groups — and to honor that struggle's many heroes.
One of our most unsung heroes might well be Charles H. Stebbins, Jr. Here's more from columns in 2004 and 2007:
His legacy was continued partly through the accomplishments of his niece, Freddie Lee Stebbins Jefferson, an educator, community leader and Palm Beach Post columnist who died at 71 in October 2007. And through Freddie's husband, retired educator and activist James Julius "Jeff " Jefferson, who died at 80 in 2011.
Charles Stebbins wanted to be paid the same as white teachers. But he never benefited from the victory he helped achieve. Long since fired from his teaching job, he was waiting tables in New York the day in 1941 when a federal judge's ruling set a stunning precedent. It was a step toward the landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision.
White teachers with five years of experience had received a $25 raise. Furious black counterparts, who got no raise, founded the Palm Beach County Teachers Association and about 85 percent of the county's 115 black teachers joined.
The group brought in Thurgood Marshall, later the Supreme Court's first black justice. They needed a name to put on the lawsuit against the county school board. Charles Stebbins volunteered.
The Arcadia native taught social studies at West Palm Beach's Industrial High School until he was fired. A school board official offered him $500 and his job back to drop the case. His wife was ill — she would die in a year and a half — but he declined.
"He was blackballed throughout the state," Freddie Jefferson said in 1999. "He was the troublemaker." Also, the black union failed to honor a promise to pay him a year's salary if he was fired.
Stebbins moved to New York, then served in the Navy, where he filed two discrimination suits. He worked 32 years for the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, where he sued for promotions, but failed. He never returned to education, and died in 1991.

Thanksgiving and football may mean watching the NFL on TV today, but Palm Beach County fans of a certain age will recall when THE Thanksgiving game was Palm Beach High vs. Lake Worth — a long-time rivalry played on the eve of Thanksgiving. The annual holiday game began in 1928 and continued through the 1960s, when the Forest Hill Falcons stood in for the Lake Worth Trojans.
The 1964 game has been described as the one of the most publicized football games in Palm Beach County history. Both teams — the Palm Beach Wildcats and the Forest Hill Falcons — were unbeaten. The preview story in The Palm Beach Post began, "Tonight's the night when the hopes and dreams of an unbeaten-untied football season are wrapped up in 48 violent minutes of combat."
The Palm Beach High football team as pictured in the Nov. 25, 1964 game preview story in The Palm Beach Post.
The Wildcats won that 1964 game 25-6.
The 1946 game between Palm Beach and Lake Worth drew what The Palm Beach Post called "the largest crowd in the history of Palm Beach County football," with estimates ranging up to 10,000.
The cover art on the program from the 1946 game was by Lon Keller, an artist from Pennsylvania whose work was featured on high school and college football game-day programs from 1938-70.

One Common Trench or Two Opposite Sides?
From Wikisource
Jump to: navigation, search
The Arab Socialist Baath Party regards all Arabs as being part of one nation both in the cultural and spiritual sense. The different countries, in which they live, make up a politically and economically united fatherland. In the Party's documents, 'the Arab fatherland' means all the Arab countries. Each of these is a 'qotr', which, literally translated, means country; in the Baath context, it should be read as province or region. The adjective 'Qotri' (provincial, regional) is used when referring to an individual country. The adjective 'qawmi' (national), on the other hand, is used when referring to all the countries, which together make up the one fatherland. Thus, the National Leadership deals only with matters concerning the whole fatherland. Each Regional Leadership deals with matters within its own country.
As for example, the Lebanese or Jordanian Regional Leadership etc.
The word Baath can be translated as meaning revival, resurgence or renewal. Hitherto, resurgence seems to be the meaning, which is preferred by Arab intellectuals and foreign Arab experts.

Distribution and abundance maps for priority weed species within NSW
NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has collected weed distribution and abundance information from local government in 2007 and 2010.
Local government noxious weed officers supplied DPI with distribution and abundance information on priority weed species that threaten the environment, production and human health.
The following weeds were surveyed;
- weeds that have been targeted to be excluded from NSW. These species can be found in NSW and national weed alert lists.
- weeds already established in NSW. These species are monitored to inform actions that aim to contain their spread to new areas and to reduce their impacts on the environment, production and human health.

What can I do about paper feed problems?
Check the following:
- If the the paper jams in the Automatic Document Feeder, make sure the originals are not creased or folded and do not have tape, staples, or other materials that could obstruct the feeder. Load only up to 30 letter-size sheets (up to 10 for legal-size) at a time.
- If paper doesn't feed, remove it from the sheet feeder. Reload it against the right side, behind the tab, then squeeze the edge guide and slide it against the paper. Make sure the paper is not above the arrow mark inside the edge guide.
- If multiple pages feed at once, remove the paper from the sheet feeder, fan the edges to separate the sheets, then reload it.
- If it's wrinkled when it ejects, the paper may be over-saturated or too thin. (If the paper is over-saturated, make sure you select the correct media type in the printer software).
- Make sure you use new, smooth, high-quality paper, that is not curled, creased, old, or too thin. Make sure to load it printable side up.
- Do not load paper with holes punched in it for insertion in a binder.
- Make sure you adjust the edge guide to match the width of the paper.
- If the paper doesn't eject fully, you may have set the wrong paper size. Turn the printer off then on again. The paper should eject completely; if not, open the scanner and remove the paper. Select the correct paper size when you reprint.
- Make sure you don't load more than the recommended number of sheets. If you're printing on both sides of the paper, try loading fewer sheets.

We report first measurements of a single-shot method through which the properties of an electron beam at linac energies may be studied using the spontaneous emission of a micro-wiggler. The setup is simple and the measurement efficient. A simple set of scaling laws describe the natural line width, energy spread and divergence broadening of spontaneous emission in a narrow bandwidth radiation cone. A systematic series of experiments were performed with the MIT Microwiggler at the Accelerator Test Facility at BNL which demonstrated the response of the cone to changes in the beam quality. Estimates of divergence were obtained from the measurements of the radiation cone.

Do You Know Why Surgeons Wear Blue And Green Scrubs During Surgeries?
As the problem is mainly with the green coloured optical illusion, it is logical to use green scrubs while surgery. This helps to blend the annoying green colour illusion of organs of the patient in the green scrubs. The combination of white surroundings, white apparel, and bright operating room lights, however, was believed to cause eye strain for surgeons and staff. As a result, operating-room attire was changing to various shades of green by the 1960's. Among other benefits, shades of surgical green as well as blue were found to reduce eye fatigue, provide a high-contrast working environment and make bloodstains less obvious. These shades in replacement of white could help physicians see better for two reasons.
This is the reason why doctors wear only green or blue clothes during the operation. There is a big reason for wearing green and blue clothes in the operation theater. Along with this, there is some scientific Pharmaceutical uniform hire service reason behind this, due to which, during the operation or surgery of a patient, doctors and nurses wear only green or blue clothes. During the operation, doctors have to watch blood for a long time.
If they stare at the white coat again at this time, they will have illusion. But did everyone blindly agree to this green colour change or there was any scientific reason behind it? Did you get the answer of why doctors wear green clothes during surgery? Alright, the next section will answer your query in a scientific way. As the doctors vision continuously focused on the red colored patient's organ, where the red color can cause green colored optical illusion on the white colored surface and certainly can be annoying.
Today we will give you a complete and detailed answer to this question. Seeing green or blue colour from time to time actually makes a doctor's eyes more sensitive to red colour. Green also happens to be the saviour as it is a complete opposite to red, thereby reducing the illusions. Contrasting colours like blue or green help to differentiate between the red and pink organs and tissues of the human body which is a big requirement in the surgery. This in turn has an advantage of better concentration on the patient and his/her anatomy. Thus, looking at blue or green during the surgery helps refreshing the surgeon's vision of red things.
Since then, most doctors started wearing green clothes, although some doctors also wear blue clothes. There are two major reasons why green could help doctors see well. The first reason is; seeing blue, or green can refresh a doctor's vision of red things, including a patient's bloody bowel during surgery. If the surgeon looks at something red and pink, the surgeon becomes insensitive to it. The red signal in the brain fades, which can make it difficult to understand the nuances of the human body.
Originally, operating room attire was white to emphasize cleanliness. However, the combination of bright operating lights and an all-white environment led to eye strain for the surgeon and staff. At the same time, it is also mentioned that white clothes are worn as a symbol of peace. It is also believed that after coming to the hospital, the patient can stay positive in a stressful environment, that is why doctors always wear white coats.
Red can lead to distracting green illusions on white surfaces. However, this still doesn't explain why surgeons chose green and blue as the primary colors for their scrubs and not purple or yellow.
Which also helped centralized laundries from mixing up different institutions linnens . Most scrubs in operating rooms remain blue or green today, however, some facilities have gone so far as to have scrubs in an obnoxious pink color, which helps to lessen the impact of scrubs 'walking off'. Often you all have seen a doctor wearing green or blue clothes in movies or in the hospital. Usually, such clothes are worn by a doctor when someone has to do an operation.
Originally designed for use by surgeons and other operating room personnel, who would put them on when sterilizing themselves, or "scrubbing in", before surgery, they are now worn by many hospital personnel. This is the reason that from the curtains to the clothes of the employees in the hospitals are green or blue, so that the eyes of the patients coming and staying in the hospital are relaxed, they do not have any problem. Because of this, the green and blue colours of their clothes not only help to improve a surgeon's visual acuity but also make them more sensitive to different shades of red.

You could use following to get element position run time and use them
String xCoordinate = selenium.getElementPositionLeft("elementLocator");
String yCoordinate = selenium.getElementPositionTop("elementLocator");

Thanks Tarun, So In this case if I have to move my mouse at particular position i need to store the x,y values in string and then use mouseMoveAt() similar for clickAt() method etc... – smriti Jun 24 '11 at 12:23
yup you should try that – Tarun Jun 25 '11 at 1:53
Thanks again... – smriti Jun 26 '11 at 12:29

The above answer is not a possible solution because selenium.getElementPositionLeft("elementLocator"); returns a number and not a string and not just that it also gives an error which says that we cannot make static reference to non static methods.

Herbs & Botanicals I – L
Common Name: JasmineScreenshot 2018-04-13 at 5.34.57 PM
Scientific/Latin Name: Jasminum
Symbolism/Spiritual Meanings: Love, Money, Prophetic Dreams
Medicinal Properties:
Jasmine has been used for liver disease, liver pain due to cirrhosis, and abdominal pain due to severe diarrhea (dysentery). It is also used to cause relaxation, as a sedative, to heighten sexual desire as an aphrodisiac, and in cancer treatment. The aroma of jasmine essential oil has a pleasing and uplifting effect on the mind and it actively fights depression. It is also a very good antiseptic and disinfectant. Since it is a cicatrisant, it can help fade those scar marks and after spots. It can also help eliminate the fat cracks that often happen in pregnant mothers. It provides relief from a cough by helping clear out the accumulation of phlegm in the respiratory tracts. It also eliminates snoring by clearing the congestion from nasal and respiratory tracts. Jasmine essential oil increases milk secretion from the breasts and is therefore very good for lactating mothers and their new babies. The essential oil of jasmine facilitates and eases parturition and reduces labor pains. It provides quick relief from spasmodic coughs, cramps, congestion, asthma, breathlessness, and even spasmodic cholera. It also helps protect the uterus from tumors, particularly after menopause, by restricting the flow of estrogen.
Practical Uses:
Jasmine tea can also be administered as a tincture to treat cuts and scrapes. A compress using jasmine flowers can be useful for headaches and strokes. Jasmine juice is useful for treating corns. In fact, various skin conditions including sunburn and rashes can be treated by apply jasmine in lotion form. A body massage with jasmine oil is known to not only lift spirits but also relieve aches and pains. If you cannot sleep, try diffusing jasmine essential oil in your bedroom at night and simply inhale it from your cupped palms whenever you are feeling anxious. If you are suffering from a cold and cannot get rid of that annoying cough, try inhaling the oil from a sink full of steaming water before bed time.

Common Name: Juniper berryScreenshot 2018-04-13 at 5.36.36 PM
Scientific/Latin Name: Juniperus communis
Symbolism/Spiritual Meanings: Protection, Anti-theft, Love, Exorcism, Health. This is an excellent tree for healing and cleansing especially in curbing the spread of poisons or disease.
Medicinal Properties:
Oil of Juniper is given as a diuretic, stomachic, and carminative in indigestion, flatulence, and diseases of the kidney and bladder. One major benefit of juniper berries is the antioxidants they contain. Antioxidants help your body to prevent and fight disease because they relieve oxidative stress caused by too many free radicals in your system. These berries have compelling effects on many strains of bacteria and fungi. In fact, at least one study suggested they could be part of treatment for skin and respiratory infections. A simple Google search reveals that one of the most common uses for juniper berries, specifically in essential oil form, is to treat skin issues like rash or eczema. The antioxidants they contain are probably one major reason this can be effective. Many natural health practitioners recommend juniper berry essential oil as a relaxant and believe it has a positive impact on brain chemistry, encouraging rest. Juniper berries can help to improve heart function. It's possible that one novel use of juniper berries could be the treatment of the parasite that causes leishmaniasis, a disease commonly contracted in tropical regions and southern Europe.
Practical Uses:
The oil mixed with lard is also used in veterinary practice as an application to exposed wounds and prevents irritation from flies. The antibacterial and antifungal qualities of juniper berries have stood the test of time, which is one reason that juniper berry essential oil is often suggested as a natural household cleaning agent. For the most pungent flavor, try crushing fresh berries before using them in a sauce or marinade. You may also try toasting them, but over-cooking will draw out the bitterness and make the berries inedible. To prepare a diluted infusion with the juniper berries, take 15 gm of dried juniper berries and boil it in 500 ml of water and strain out the liquid.

The cyclical behaviour of remittances with respect to the receiving-country economy has important implications for economic and financial policies. Counter-cyclical remittance flows could form part of broader stabilisation policies in economic downturns and could also encourage receiving countries to adopt fixed (or less flexible) exchange-rate regimes. On the other hand, pro-cyclical flows may create an amplification effect of upturns or downturns in the receiving economy. There is an extant literature dedicated to exploring the cyclical nature of remittances. In general, the results tend to be country-specific and show that, for some migration and remittance corridors, remittances are counter-cyclical while, for others, they are pro-cyclical. This paper argues that the cyclical nature of remittances must be evaluated in a dynamic framework and that the relationship (between remittances and the receiving economy) is unlikely to be stable over time. Using data from Mexico, we show that remittances are counter-cyclical during some periods, but pro-cyclical at others. The changing cyclical nature of remittances questions the potential of remittances to smooth out cyclical fluctuations in output.

text: Fuzzy rules are used to model solute dispersion in a river dead zone, such that the turbulent diffusion is determined by a fuzzy inference system which relates the local mean velocity shear to the longitudinal velocity fluctuations. A finite-volume hybrid scheme is applied to a non-orthogonal grid for which a mean velocity field is produced using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package Telemac 2D. At each cell face fuzzy rules predict a fuzzy number, and these numbers reflect the possible magnitudes of turbulent velocity fluctuations. These are input to the finite-volume model using a single-value simulation method. Multiple model runs produce a fuzzy number for the solute concentration in each cell. The results of the fuzzy model are then compared with data collected in a field experiment with rhodamine dye in the River Severn.

At the seder, the festive meal that marks the beginning of the holiday of Passover which begins Friday, the youngest child is encouraged to launch the retelling of the Passover story by asking the age-old question: "Why is this night different from all other nights?
Given that Passover always falls during tax season, one could rephrase the question slightly with regards to the donation tax credit and ask: "Why is this credit different from all other tax credits?"
The answer is that while most non-refundable tax credits, such as the basic personal amount, age amount, spouse or common-law partner amount, and so forth, are calculated at the lowest credit rate, when it comes to charitable donations, a two-tiered credit system applies.
You can claim a federal non-refundable tax credit of 15% for the first $200 of annual charitable donations. The federal credit rate jumps to 29% for cumulative donations above $200. These rates are equal to the tax rate of the lowest federal bracket (income below about $45,000) and the highest bracket (income above approximately $139,000) respectively.
So why the two-tiered credit system only for charitable donations?
Its history can be traced back to the 1988 federal tax reform that converted various tax deductions into credits. The theory behind the two-tiered approach is that since donations are purely voluntary, if the credit was set at the low credit rate, it may have resulted in a decline of donations from high-income earners who were used to getting a deduction at their high, marginal tax rates.
The result of our two-tiered system is that small gifts below $200 are equivalent to a deduction by a person in the lowest bracket while donations over the $200 threshold are equivalent to a deduction at the top bracket, regardless of whether the taxpayer is, in fact, actually in the top bracket.
So it makes sense to claim more than $200 annually. Or, if you claim less, save the claim for a future year (there is a five-year carryforward).
When provincial credits are added to the federal ones, your total credit can be as high as 50%, depending on your province of residence. Interestingly, while both Quebec and Ontario introduced new high-income brackets in 2013, the provincial donation credit rates in those provinces remain unchanged, thus at these high-income levels, the credit is not as valuable as a deduction would have been.
In its recent budget, Alberta's revenue-strapped government announced a reduction in its provincial tax credit for donations, beginning next year. Currently, Albertans who give over $200 annually to charity can claim a 21% provincial donation credit, despite the fact that Alberta's current flat provincial tax rate is only 10%.
Alberta's unusually high credit was the result of a 2007 enhancement meant to encourage higher donation levels. But, as the recent budget stated, while the enhanced credit gave existing donors significant additional tax savings, it had limited success in encouraging higher total donations and as a result was deemed to be "not an effective tax measure."
As a result, Alberta's rate for donations over $200 in 2016 will be returned to 12.75%, the rate in effect prior to 2007, resulting in an estimated $90 million of tax savings annually to the province's coffers.
Finally, keep in mind that if you are a "first-time donor," you can take advantage of the temporary First-Time Donor's Super Credit, which provides an additional 25% federal non-refundable tax credit on up to $1,000 of donations.

When we think of limes, we often associate them with their zesty flavor and their important role in culinary creations and refreshing beverages. However, have you ever wondered why some limes don't have seeds? It may seem like a mystery, but there is a fascinating scientific explanation behind this phenomenon.
The evolution of seedless limes is an interesting development in the plant world. While most fruits and vegetables reproduce through seeds, there are certain genetic mutations that have led to the development of seedless varieties. These seedless limes offer unique benefits and have become increasingly popular in both commercial and domestic use.
In this article, we will delve into the biological reasons for seedlessness, explore how seedless limes are produced, discuss different seedless lime varieties, highlight the health benefits they offer, and explore their various culinary uses.
So, grab a glass of lime-infused water or a refreshing limeade, and let's discover the intriguing world of seedless limes!
Read more: Why Do Fruits Have Seeds
Evolution of Seedless Limes
The evolution of seedless limes can be attributed to a combination of natural and human interventions. In the wild, most fruits and vegetables produce seeds as a means of reproduction. However, certain genetic mutations and natural selection have resulted in the development of seedless varieties, including limes.
These mutations typically occur spontaneously and are the result of changes in the plant's genetic makeup. Over time, these mutations can become more prevalent and establish themselves as a distinct variety. In the case of seedless limes, the absence of seeds is a desirable trait that has been perpetuated through generations.
Human intervention has also played a significant role in the evolution of seedless limes. Through selective breeding and cross-pollination techniques, plant breeders have been able to cultivate seedless lime varieties that exhibit the desired characteristics.
By selectively propagating trees that produce seedless limes, breeders have been able to establish and cultivate these varieties on a larger scale. This has led to the availability of seedless limes in the market and their widespread popularity among consumers.
Overall, the evolution of seedless limes is a fascinating example of how both natural and human factors can shape the development of new plant varieties. Through genetic mutations and selective breeding, seedless limes have emerged as a distinct and sought-after type of lime. Their seedlessness not only enhances convenience but also offers unique benefits in terms of taste and versatility in culinary applications.
Biological Reasons for Seedlessness
The absence of seeds in seedless limes is not a coincidence but rather the result of specific biological mechanisms. There are several reasons why certain lime varieties develop without seeds:
1. Parthenocarpy: Parthenocarpy is a biological phenomenon where fruit develops without the process of fertilization. In seedless limes, parthenocarpy allows the fruit to develop without the need for pollination and the subsequent formation of seeds. This can occur naturally through genetic mutations or can be induced through human intervention.
2. Seed Abortion: In some instances, seedless limes may actually start with seeds. However, during the fruit's development, hormonal changes can occur, leading to the abortion or elimination of the seeds. This results in a seedless fruit that still possesses the characteristic flavors and properties of limes.
3. Triploidy: Triploidy refers to a condition where the cells of an organism contain three sets of chromosomes instead of the usual two. This abnormality can arise spontaneously or as a result of human intervention. Triploid limes, which have three sets of chromosomes, often produce seedless fruits. The extra set of chromosomes disrupts the normal development of seeds, resulting in seedlessness.
Seedlessness in limes offers several benefits. The absence of seeds means that the fruit can be easily consumed without the need for seed removal, saving time and effort. Additionally, seedless limes have a more consistent and smooth texture, making them ideal for use in various culinary applications.
Overall, the biological reasons for seedlessness in limes are fascinating. Through natural genetic mutations or induced mechanisms, seedless limes have emerged as a convenient and desirable variety, offering all the flavors and qualities that make limes a beloved fruit.
Commercial Significance of Seedless Limes
Seedless limes have gained significant commercial significance in the agricultural and culinary industries. Their unique characteristics and advantages have made them a popular choice for both producers and consumers alike.
One of the main advantages of seedless limes is the convenience they offer. The absence of seeds means that the fruit can be used directly without the need for time-consuming seed removal. This makes seedless limes a preferred choice for restaurants, cafes, and food manufacturers, as it saves time and effort in food preparation.
The consistent texture of seedless limes also makes them highly desirable in the culinary world. With no distractions from seeds, the flesh of seedless limes offers a smooth and uniform consistency, perfect for creating sauces, dressings, marinades, and other culinary creations.
Seedless limes also have a longer shelf life compared to their seeded counterparts. The absence of seeds minimizes the risk of spoilage and extends the fruit's freshness. This quality is highly appealing to both retailers and consumers who seek longer-lasting produce with maximum flavor and quality.
From a consumer perspective, seedless limes are favored for their versatile use. They can be easily squeezed for fresh lime juice, used as a garnish or flavor enhancer in dishes and beverages, or incorporated into desserts and baked goods. Their seedlessness allows for a hassle-free experience, whether it's enjoying a refreshing limeade or adding a zesty twist to a homemade guacamole.
Furthermore, seedless limes have become a staple ingredient in various industries, including the production of lime-flavored beverages, culinary condiments, and cosmetics. Their consistent flavor and absence of seeds make them a reliable choice for achieving the desired taste profiles and textures.
Overall, the commercial significance of seedless limes lies in their convenience, longer shelf life, and versatility. As the demand for quick and easy food options continues to rise, seedless limes have emerged as a valuable resource for chefs, food manufacturers, and consumers who seek hassle-free and consistent lime flavor in their dishes and products.
How Seedless Limes are Produced
The production of seedless limes typically involves a combination of natural processes and human intervention. Here is an overview of the methods used to cultivate seedless lime varieties:
1. Natural Mutations: In some cases, seedless lime varieties arise from natural genetic mutations. These mutations can occur spontaneously in lime trees, leading to the development of fruit without seeds. These naturally occurring mutations may be discovered by farmers or plant breeders who then propagate and cultivate these seedless lime trees to create a consistent seedless variety.
2. Cross-Pollination: Another method to produce seedless limes is through cross-pollination. Plant breeders selectively choose parent plants with desired traits, including seedlessness, and facilitate the transfer of pollen from one tree to another. This process allows for the combination of genes from different lime varieties and the production of offspring with seedless characteristics.
3. Induced Parthenocarpy: Parthenocarpy, or the development of fruit without fertilization, can also be induced in lime trees. This process typically involves the application of growth hormones or other treatments to stimulate fruit development without the need for pollination and the subsequent formation of seeds. By inducing parthenocarpy, seedless lime varieties can be grown and propagated.
4. Triploid Breeding: Triploidy, a condition in which plants possess three sets of chromosomes, is often associated with seedlessness in limes. Plant breeders can intentionally create triploid lime trees by crossing diploid (normal two sets of chromosomes) and tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes) lime varieties. The resulting offspring are triploid and tend to produce seedless fruit.
Once seedless lime trees have been established, they can be reproduced through vegetative propagation methods such as grafting or budding. This ensures that the seedless characteristics of the trees are maintained in subsequent generations.
Through a combination of natural mutations, controlled cross-pollination, induced parthenocarpy, and triploid breeding techniques, seedless lime varieties have been successfully produced and cultivated. These methods allow for the creation of consistent, seedless limes that offer numerous benefits to growers, distributors, and consumers.

SCons duplicates source files in variant directory trees because it's the most straightforward way to guarantee a correct build regardless of include-file directory paths, relative references between files, or tool support for putting files in different locations, and the SCons philosophy is to, by default, guarantee a correct build in all cases.
The most direct reason to duplicate source files in variant directories is simply that some tools (mostly older versions) are written to only build their output files in the same directory as the source files. In this case, the choices are either to build the output file in the source directory and move it to the variant directory, or to duplicate the source files in the variant directory.
Additionally, relative references between files can cause problems if we don't just duplicate the hierarchy of source files in the variant directory. You can see this at work in use of the C preprocessor _TAG_ mechanism with double quotes, not angle brackets:
The de facto standard behavior for most C compilers in this case is to first look in the same directory as the source file that contains the _TAG_ line, then to look in the directories in the preprocessor search path. Add to this that the SCons implementation of support for code repositories (described below) means not all of the files will be found in the same directory hierarchy, and the simplest way to make sure that the right include file is found is to duplicate the source files into the variant directory, which provides a correct build regardless of the original location(s) of the source files.
Although source-file duplication guarantees a correct build even in these end-cases, it can usually be safely disabled. The next section describes how you can disable the duplication of source files in the variant directory.

Equivalent Circuit Model for OPV Cells
Equivalent circuit model for OPV cells
Organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) are, in fact, very complex electric systems and an approach to aid understanding of their electrical properties is to model the devices using electrical components, observe how the model-fit parameters change with any treatment that is applied to the OPV, and to give a realistic and scientific physical explanation for this OPV behaviour. The one-diode model (ODM) or two-diode model (TDM) has been worked well in modelling the normal I-V curve of the OPV.
However, the current-voltage (I-V) characteristic of OPV devices sometimes exhibits a kink, often referred to as an "s-shaped" I-V curve. This kink reduces the fill factor (FF), which in turn lowers the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the OPVs. In my project a new equivalent circuit model is proposed by modifying the ODM. This model is able to account for the "s-shaped" I-V curve and to extract their model-fit parameters across the full range of the I-V curve and therefore is of use to probe the underlying physical processes in OPV devices.

The four-year project involved transporting a 21-foot-diameter, 340-ton boulder from a Riverside quarry to LACMA, where it spans a 456-foot-long subterranean pedestrian ramp next to the La Brea Tar Pits. Victor Langhaar was the Lead Geotechnical Engineer from project design through construction. Completed in 2012, Levitated Mass drew national attention and was the subject of a documentary feature film focusing on the boulder's 11-day trip to LACMA.
The project faced several unique and interesting geotechnical engineering challenges. Characterizing the rock mass and intact properties of the boulder were central to engineering the transport and "levitation". Due to the project's artistic nature, the design of the supporting slot structure required an unusually low tolerance for settlement or deflection. Also, several temporary excavation and gantry crane options were necessary for the final setting of the boulder due to transport variables and logistics.

A Method for Designing Monuments for River Culture: The Chilean Patagonia Sin Represas Environmental Movement as a Case Study
MetadataShow full item record
This thesis asks how nature becomes a part of identity. It looks to the Chilean Patagonia Sin Represas (Without Dams) movement which halted the building of several hydroelectric dams along the Baker River. Geographical scales are used as a way of showing how a localized infrastructure proposal became a national issue, inspiring protesting far away in the national capital. Design methods and siting strategy are directly derived from this scalar analysis. Abstraction speaks to general national experiences. Complimentary river monuments and rhetorical siting strategies come from different regional identities. The idea of paths and perception show how particular cultures form connections to local landscapes. The result are monuments inspired by each of the protest characters which are situated along the largest protest route in Santiago. These interventions not only give space to the former protestors, but also invite all Chileans to think of the importance of rivers.

I want to check if a string only contains the sign in the above expression, just want to make sure no more weird sign like #%&/() are in the strings.
I am wondering if there's any difference between these two regular expression? Did the beginning and ending sign matter? Will it affect the result somehow?
share|improve this question
When inside of []s, it's best to put the '-' character, when used to match the character '-', at the end of the [], as in [A-Za-z0-9_-]. Otherwise it's possible to misread your form as "9 to underscore" before seeing that it's actually '0 to 9, -, and '. It also sometimes happens that people change, say, 'A-C-' to 'ABC-_' and forget that changing the first - affects how the second is interpreted. – Andrew Dalke Dec 14 '11 at 17:44

The beginning and end sign match the beginning and end of a String.
The first will match any String that contains zero or more ocurrences of the class [A-Za-z0-9-_] (basically any string whatsoever...).
The second will match an empty String, but not one that contains characters not defined in [A-Za-z0-9-_]
share|improve this answer
Python regular expressions are anchored at the beginning of strings (like in many other languages): hence the ^ sign at the beginning doesn't make any difference. However, the $ sign does very much make one: if you don't include it, you're only going to match the beginning of your string, and the end could contain anything – including the characters you want to exclude. Just try re.match("[a-z0-9]", "abcdef/%&").
In addition to that, you may want to use a regular expression that simply excludes the characters you're testing for, it's much safe (hence [^#%&/()] – or maybe you have to do something to escape the parentheses; can't remember how it works at the moment).

Python offers two match methods, match and search - make sure you use the right one, as search is not anchored. – Mark Ransom Dec 14 '11 at 15:40
Yes it will. A regex can match anywhere in its input. # will match in your first regex.

Quick query - Dialog director
AS: 1.6
MacOS: 9.2.2
iMac 600
What is the syntax for extracting text from a Dialog Director dialog box?
(Dialog Director scripting addition required)
I require a floating palette which is why DD is being used to generate the dialog box. I have been through a number of the example files but cannot find what I am looking for. I need to be able to assign the text entered into the Dialog box to a variable for later use.
Here is the dialog portion of the script:
property theDialog : {size:[260, 95], contents:[¬
{class:push button, bounds:[190, 65, 250, 85], name:"OK"}, ¬
{class:push button, bounds:[110, 65, 170, 85], name:"Cancel"}, ¬
{class:text field, bounds:[10, 36, 250, 36 + 16], name bounds:¬
[10, 10, 250, 26], name:"Please enter pdf file code", value:""}], style:movable dialog}
return [dd auto dialog theDialog with grayscale]
What is the command to now take the result and assign it to a variable?
Eg. set text returned to pdfCode ?? Display Dialog pdfCode ??
Hey Matt,
Here's a possibility…
The result of the line
return [dd auto dialog theDialog with grayscale]
is
{{true, false, "", {382, 347, 642, 442}}}
so the first thing you need to do is change the square braces for parentheses because you're nesting a list inside a list, which is really just confusing things.
This gives you…
return (dd auto dialog theDialog with grayscale)
Which in turn will give the following result (as an example)…
{true, false, "Test text", {382, 347, 642, 442}}
From here you can use the following code…
set theDialogValues to dialogHandler()
set theText to item 3 of theDialogValues
--
on dialogHandler()
property theDialog : {size:[260, 95], contents:[¬
{class:push button, bounds:[190, 65, 250, 85], name:"OK"}, ¬
{class:push button, bounds:[110, 65, 170, 85], name:"Cancel"}, ¬
{class:text field, bounds:[10, 36, 250, 36 + 16], name bounds:¬
[10, 10, 250, 26], name:"Please enter pdf file code", value:""}], style:movable dialog}
return (dd auto dialog theDialog with grayscale)
end dialogHandler
It's worth looking at what actually gets returned from the handler. It gives the state of each of the buttons (a value of 'true' tells you which one was clicked), then the text which was entered, followed by the bounding rectangle of the dialog.
You can see from here that you want the third item of this list which is the text, so just set a variable to item 3 of the result. The order of the list is determined by the order in which you create the dialog items.
Hope this helps,
Juerg
PS. Does anyone know where Andreas has gone!? :cry:
No and I've been wondering the same. I think I'll send a note to see what's up. The BBS isn't the same without Andreas. :slight_smile:
Good idea, Rob. Say 'Hi!' from me! :slight_smile:
Dear Juerg,
Thanks for your assistance.
[b]The section of code that you provided works just like I need it to. What I need to know is how to integrate this into my existing script that is already running a hander.
I get a message stating "expected end or end tell". This indicates that either you can't nest handlers or I'm not doing it correctly. [/b]
Here is the script that I am building, it is for batch renaming pdf files based on the information in the pdf file. The need for the floating dialog, is that sometimes the input dialog was obscuring the portion of the pdf file that contained the code that I required.
(take a any pdf and drag onto the app to run)
– assign global varibles
global pdfname
global origname
global timedelay
– set properties for the Dialog Director floating dialog box.
property theDialog : {size:[260, 95], contents:[¬
{class:push button, bounds:[190, 65, 250, 85], name:"OK"}, ¬
{class:push button, bounds:[110, 65, 170, 85], name:"Cancel"}, ¬
{class:text field, bounds:[10, 36, 250, 36 + 16], name bounds:¬
[10, 10, 250, 26], name:"Please enter pdf file code", value:""}], style:movable dialog}
– define variable for text returned out of dialog box.
set theDialogValues to dialogHandler()
set pdfname to item 3 of theDialogValues
on open fileList
–tell application "Finder"
–display dialog "How many seconds do you require to note the file code?" default answer "5"
–set timedelay to text returned of result
–close every window
– end tell
repeat with aFile in fileList
 tell application "Finder"
 activate
 set origname to name of aFile
 --display dialog origname
 open aFile
 -- delay 5
 end tell

 tell application "Finder"
 activate
 close every window
 [b]-- THIS IS THE PART THAT IS NOT WORKING.
 on dialogHandler()
return (dd auto dialog theDialog with grayscale)
end dialogHandler[/b]
end tell
 tell application "Acrobat 5.0"
 activate
 close document origname
 end tell
 tell application "Finder"
 activate
 select aFile
 set name of aFile to pdfname & ".pdf"
 end tell
end repeat
end open[/b]
Hi Matt!
No problem!
I haven't had time to test your script yet but here are a few observations…
The main problem here is that you can't nest handlers which is why you're getting the error when you try to compile your script. You must move the handler outside of the 'on open()' handler - so put it after the 'end open' statement.
However, having looked at your script I see no need for a handler. Try deleting the handler entirely and using this…
 set theDialogValues to (dd auto dialog theDialog with grayscale)
instead of…
set theDialogValues to dialogHandler()
Or perhaps even better, delete the following line aswell…
set pdfname to item 3 of theDialogValues
and use this…
set pdfname to item 3 of (dd auto dialog theDialog with grayscale)
I think this should get you going for now! :slight_smile:
All the best,
Juerg

JavaPlot is a library that can be used as a way to create gnuplot plots on the fly through pure Java commands. In contrast with other common gnuplot Java libraries, it uses Java structures to store the various plot parameters, including datasets.
Moreover, it is flexible enough to give special parameters to gnuplot, even if the library does not yet support it. JavaPlot software uses Java's Exceptions to inform the user if something went wrong.
Java 1.5 (or better) is needed for this library. The reason is the extensive usage of various 1.5 technologies, such as Generics and autoboxing, to help maipulation of plot data. It has been tested with gnuplot 4.2. Older versions might or might not work.
This library has been checked in Windows XP, Linux (Debian) and Mac OS X (Tiger & Leopard). It should work on any other system, if you fine tune the special parameters needed.
First you have to include this library in your classpath. Then the easiest way to start creating plots, is to create a new instance of JavaPlot object.
A test case can be found under test/com/panayotis/gnuplot/GNUPlotTest.java. It needs JUnit4 to run, but you can safely copy&paste the ocde from this example to match your needs. For more detailed information, see the provided javadoc. Most methods should be self explanatory.
If you want to go deeper into the library, it is important to understand "ProeprtiesHolder" class, which is the base properties holder of this library.. This class is able to store pairs of values (such as key-value pairs). Use the set() and unset() method of this class to add parameters which will be used when creating the gnuplot program.
There are some things that are not supported yet. These are mainly the multiplot environment and splot-family commands. Still, using methods like getPreInit() and getPostInit() you might be able to simulate them.
If you want to use SVG output in Java, you need a library to handle SVG files. Such a library is SVGSalamander provided with this package. There is a bug in this library, though, which ignores color values. Thus all colors in SVG graphs are black.

Wisconsin is one of the most enriched states in America in terms of having many wondrous animals. However, many of these wondrous creatures are also risking extinction – therefore, we've listed the most endangered animals in Wisconsin for you.
Its rich animal-life is probably due to its impressive land diversity. From woodlands to beaches, hills to rivers, and wetlands to grassland, you will be amazed to see the diversified landscape of Wisconsin.
Thanks to its diverse landscape, it is no wonder that Wisconsin is home to around 700 different and unique species of animals.
Keeping their rapid reduction in numbers in mind, the Wisconsin Wildlife Administration has enlisted around twenty-four animals as the most endangered in Wisconsin. Among these twenty-four animals, many different species are featured – such as wolves, bats, sea animals, and even birds.
Here is a detailed outline of Wisconsin's twenty-four most endangered animals.
#1 Higgins Eye – Pearly Mussel (Lampsilis Higginsii)
Higgins Eye is the rarest species of sea animal you will find in Wisconsin. These are one of the most expensive and beautiful mussels with genuine pearls, which is why they are also known as Pearly Mussels. The scientific name of these mussels is Lampsilis Higginsii.
Higgins's eyes were declared endangered in 2001. You can find a small amount of these mussels around the beaches of Wisconsin, as the state is considered their home. Importantly, they are expensive and contain one of the most highly-rated pearls.
Higgins Eye is getting extinct because they cannot survive in polluted water. The Eastern US holds 70% of the freshwater mussels at the moment, which may also become extinct if the water's pollution doesn't decrease with time.
#2 Dragonfly – Hine's Emerald (Somatochlora Hineana)
Hine's Emerald is one of the rarest dragonflies, their scientific name is Somatochlora Hineana. The Us Wildlife Administration has declared them one of the most endangered species in Wisconsin, standing on the brink of extinction.
The estimated amount of Hine's Emerald left was 30,000 in 2013. By now, approximately 20,000 of these dragonflies are left in the world and can be found only in Canada and the US. A large portion of their total population can be spotted around Wisconsin in the US.
However, this dragonfly is now considered endangered because they are rapidly getting fewer in number. One significant threat to them is the depletion and contamination of groundwater caused by the nearby development.
Hine's Emerald isn't extinct yet, but if there is an increase in the amount of contaminated groundwater, it may become extinct much sooner than anticipated.
#3 Butterfly – Karner Blue Entire (Lycaeides Melissa Samuels)
Numerous butterflies are endangered, and some have even been declared extinct. Karner Blue Entire is one such species and mainly exists in the state of Wisconsin.
It is one of the most beautiful butterflies in the world. Belonging to the family of Lycaeides, the scientific name of this butterfly is Lycaeides Melissa Samuels.
Importantly, this particular species of butterfly was declared endangered in 1992. It was probably due to the rapid decrease in their population after the wildfire suppression. Also, habitat loss, clearing of land for farms, and land development for residential and commercial purposes were other contributing factors.
However, you may still find some Karner blue butterflies around Wisconsin, as these butterflies are native to Wisconsin.
#4 Winged Mapleleaf (Quadrula Frogosa)
The Winged mapleleaf is an underwater species with the scientific name Quadrula Fragosa. It is a particular species of mussel, also known as "false mapleleaf" or the "hickory net shell."
These mussels are becoming extinct because of rising water levels, which is why they were declared an endangered species in 1991. The US wildlife service suggests that the water must stay constant between 1,3 to 6,5 feet (0.4 to 2.0 meters) to ensure these mussels survive.
It is illegal to harm, catch, or kill them so they don't go extinct, as per the US Wildlife Association. These mussels can be seen around the beaches in Wisconsin, US.
#5 Sheepnose Mussel (Plethobasus Cpyhyus)
Sheepnose is another aquatic species of mussels found in deep clean water. The scientific name of Sheepnose is Plethobasus Cpyhyus, colloquially known as "bullhead." However, these mussels are getting extinct because of the increasingly polluted water.
These mussels are now rarely seen around Winsconsin because of their population decrease. These mussels are declared endangered, with only 20% of their total number left in the world. If there is no improvement in water quality, they may very well be extinct within the near future.
#6 Snuffbox Mussel (Epioblasma Triquetra)
Snuffbox, also called a rock monster, is an underwater species. These freshwater mussels are mainly found in deep clean water. The scientific name of this mussel is Epioblasma Triquetra. Snuffbox is declared endangered by the US government.
Additionally, they are wild, so their extinction may threaten many other water species. Snuffbox mussels have been announced as endangered animals in Wisconsin, so it isn't easy to see them around the beaches. Merely 40% of the Snuffbox mussel population remains in Wisconsin.
#7 Plover – Pipping Great Lakes Watershed (Charadrius Melodus)
Pipping great plover is an uncommon bird that is declared as threatened globally. The scientific name of Pipping plover is Charadruis Melodus. Around 4,000 pipping plovers are left worldwide. In other words, they are nearly extinct.
These birds have been declared endangered for several reasons, such as the lack of habitat. Pipping plovers have fewer and fewer places to nest because of human development.
As of recent, they tend to lay eggs on the beaches due to lacking proper habitats, which is why they cannot protect their eggs. If you're lucky, you can spot them around the shores of Wisconsin, US.
#8 Skipperling – Powesheik (Orisma Powesheik)
The Poweshiek skipperling is a rare butterfly that is risking extinction because of the polluted environment. This skipperling is also called Orisma Poweshiek.
According to the US wildlife association, this particular species of butterfly was declared endangered in 2014. However, the remaining species were given a special habitat in 2015. They are primarily threatened because of habitat loss.
Still, the Poweshiek skipperling can be seen around areas in Wisconsin and a few places in Michigan. The US government has officially announced that they are endangered, and any damage to skipperlings is illegal.
#9 Spectaclecase Mussel (Cumbarlandia Monodonta)
Spectaclecase is another aquatic species that is endangered due to polluted water. The scientific name of these mussels is Cumbarlandia Monodonta.
Interestingly, Spectaclecase was declared endangered by the US. Fish and Wildlife Association and the IUCN in 1984 already. However, many Spectaclecase mussels can be seen around Winsconsin as there are native to Winscson beaches.
Moreover, they are becoming extinct because of their habitat loss due to human impacts like chemical contaminants, channelization, and mining. Together they all negatively affect water quality, causing high levels of pollution.
#10 Kirtland's Warbler (Dendroica kirtlandii)
Kirtland's Warbler is a small bird, often called Jack Pine Bird. The scientific name of this bird is Dendroica Kirtlandii or Setophaga kirtlandii. They are one of the rarest birds that can sing and live in the jack pine forests of Michigan and different parts of Wisconsin.
Moreover, they don't lay eggs very frequently, which is one of the reasons why they are left in a minimal amount. That's why the respective administration listed them endangered under the Endangered Species Act in 1973. You rarely see Kirtland's Warbler as they have yielded most of their habitat due to human development.
#11 Gray Wolf (Canis lupus)
Gray Wolves are among the most beautiful wolves and like to live in cold places. The scientific name of this beautiful type of wolf is Canis lupus. Sadly, Gray wolves were declared endangered in 1926 by the US Fish and Wildlife Association.
The reason for their endangerment was due to wrongful assumptions of people living in the area. They thought that this wolf could be a threat to their livestock, which is why they started killing and haunting them. Resultantly, they migrated to new habitats, such as Wisconsin.
That is also one of the reasons why you won't see them in the places they used to live before. By now, most Gray wolves live in Wisconsin, which is deemed a secure and healthy state. However, the species is still considered endangered.
#12 Northern Long-Eared Bat (Myotis Septentrionalis)
Northern long-eared bats with the scientific name of Myotis Septentrionalis are considered one of the rarest bats on the planet. This bat has been declared an endangered species and faces many threats.
The leading cause of their endangerment is the increase of white-nose syndrome, a deadly disease affecting these bats in the whole state.
Consequently, these bats have also been declared endangered in Wisconsin, considered one of the biggest hub

Broken, exhausted, out of action — 'the TV's bung'.
It comes from bang meaning 'dead', which was first recorded in 1841 in the Yagara Aboriginal language of the Brisbane region.
The word found its way into nineteenth-century Australian pidgin, where the phrase to go bung meant 'to die'. By the end of the nineteenth century, the present sense had developed.
