Commercial diving is a profession that involves inspecting and repairing structures underwater. One of the most important tasks for commercial divers is bridge inspection. Bridge inspection requires specific equipment and methods to ensure that the inspection is done thoroughly and accurately. In this blog post, we will explore the methods and equipment used for bridge inspection in commercial diving and how to create professional reports.
- Inspection methods for bridges:
The first step in bridge inspection is to determine the inspection method to be used. There are several inspection methods, including visual inspection, sounding, and non-destructive testing. Visual inspection involves examining the surface of the bridge for any signs of damage or corrosion. Sounding involves tapping on the bridge with a hammer to detect any hollow or weak spots. Non-destructive testing involves using specialized equipment to detect any internal damage or corrosion without damaging the bridge.
- Equipment for bridge inspection:
Commercial divers use specialized equipment for bridge inspection, including cameras, lights, and sonar. Cameras are used to take high-quality images of the bridge's surface, while lights provide illumination for the camera. Sonar is used to detect any potential issues or damage in the underwater portion of the bridge.
- Professional reporting:
Once the inspection is complete, it is important to create a professional report to document the findings. The report should include a detailed description of the inspection methods used, the equipment used, and the results of the inspection. The report should also include any recommendations for repairs or maintenance that need to be made.
- Safety in bridge inspection:
Safety is of the utmost importance in bridge inspection. Commercial divers should always use proper safety equipment, such as helmets, gloves, and diving suits. They should also be properly trained in the use of the equipment and methods used for bridge inspection.
- Importance of bridge inspection:
Bridge inspection is an essential part of ensuring the safety of the public. It helps to identify any potential issues or damage to the bridge before it becomes a safety hazard. Regular bridge inspections can help to prevent accidents and ensure that the bridge remains safe for use.
In conclusion, bridge inspection is a crucial task for commercial divers. It requires specialized equipment and methods to ensure that the inspection is done thoroughly and accurately. It is also important to create a professional report to document the findings and make any necessary recommendations for repairs or maintenance. Safety is of the utmost importance in bridge inspection, and it is essential to ensure that commercial divers are properly trained and equipped to do their job safely. Bridge inspection plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of the public and should not be taken lightly.

NCEES Testing Nomenclature
Structural Engineering (PE Structural) Exam
SE – Abbreviation for a licensed Structural Engineer
Tests the ability to practice structural engineering and is designed for engineers who practice in jurisdictions that may license structural engineers separately from other professional engineers. It is a 16-hour exam that uses a separate vertical and lateral component to test your ability to safely design buildings or bridges, especially in areas of high seismicity and high wind.
Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) Exam
PE – Abbreviation for a licensed Professional Engineer
Tests the ability to practice in a particular engineering discipline competently. It is designed for engineers who have gained at minimum four years' post-college work experience in their chosen engineering discipline. Each PE exam lasts 8 hours and is split into a morning and an afternoon session.
The NCSEA Structural Licensure Committee works with SEAs to influence the adoption of consistent licensing laws and rules in the interest of public safety, especially relating to licensure of structural engineers. This committee is focused on:
- Recognizing the unique responsibility structural engineers have to protect the safety, health, and welfare of the public over that borne by all disciplines of engineering.
- Promoting structural licensure by educating and supporting SEAs pursuing licensure.
- Ensuring state licensing laws and regulations are divided and labeled by the procedures the state board uses to recognize and license individuals as professional engineers or structural engineers.
- The goal to recognize the additional SE credential based on the NCEES 16 hour structural exam and support transitioning currently practicing structural engineers to a higher standard of practice.
A provision in a jurisdiction's statutes, rules, or licensing board procedures that recognizes every licensee's discipline, usually based on the specific NCEES examination passed by the licensee. Currently, there are 23 states that practice "Roster Designation"; these states publicly recognize engineers by disciplines either through self-declaration or through testing. In general, these states keep a public database of all the licensed engineers and their associated disciplines and do not regulate the practice of engineering, a licensed PE or SE can seal all structures.
Title Restriction, Partial Practice Restriction, Full Practice Restriction
A provision in a jurisdiction's statutes or rules that specifically recognizes structural engineering as a distinct discipline with certain special qualifications beyond, or in place of, those required for professional engineering licensure, typically based on NCEES testing nomenclature.
Title Restriction states: 6 states
Partial Practice Restriction states: 5 states
Full Practice Restriction states: 2 states

Degree of Cure
The degree of curing describes the conversion achieved during crosslinking reactions (curing). In macromolecular chemistry, crosslinking refers to reactions in which a large number of individual molecules are linked to form a three-dimensional network. Linkage can be achieved either by direct setup of macromolecules or reaction to the already existing polymers.
This can easily be measured by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
The degree of curing, α, is the amount of heat converted divided by the reaction enthalpy.
α = H/ΔHR
The degree of cure of an already (partially) crosslinked sample can be determined via the residual enthalpy of post-crosslinking, HPC (post-cure). Then, the degree of cure can be calculated as
α = 1-(HPC/ΔHR)
Figure 1: DSC 214 Polyma measurement results; black curve: uncured adhesive; red curve: partially cured adhesive (sample weight: 2.80 mg and 2.77 mg; heating rate 5 K/min)
Figure 1 depicts an example for the calculation of the degree of cure for a partially cured adhesive. The uncured adhesive shows a curing enthalpy of 242.35 J/g, whereas the partially cured sample shows an enthalpy of just 203.92 J/g for the post curing reaction. Therefore, a degree of cure of 15.9 % for the partially cured sample can be calculated.

The carbon footprint of a single email is negligible, but new research from ICF International and McAfee shows that the 62 trillion spam emails sent each year waste 33 billion kilowatt hours of power, or enough to power 2.4 million homes. The majority of energy is wasted at the end user's computer in sifting through messages to find and delete spam.
There's a relatively easy solution to this massive energy suck: install a spam filter or use an email service like Gmail that provides a built-in filter. If everyone took that simple step, it would be the energy equivalent of taking 2.3 million cars off the road. That's unlikely to happen, but there are immediate benefits for companies that take the initiative for spam filtering. According to ICF, a single business user spends 28 kg of CO2 on spam email each year. Removing spam from that person's email equation would be the same as eliminating 93 km of driving. For a 1000-person company, it's the same as taking five cars off the road.
We're far too reliant on email for communications to completely stop using it, and that's a good thing. The carbon footprint of email is nothing compared to the energy required to transport physical mail--not to mention the paper wasted on mailed letters. But if we can significantly cut our carbon footprints by switching to spam-filtering email services or installing free software, why not?
|Emissions for spam (kg CO2-e / yr)|
|Spammers Harvesting addresses||<1%|
|Spammers Creating Spam Campaigns||<1%|
|Zombies/bots sending spam||<1%|
|Non-bots sending spam||<1%|

Healing Circle Garden
Posted 04/26/2011 by Childhelp
The American Indian medicine wheel was an ancient way of creating sacred space and calling forth the healing energies of nature. Medicine wheels were constructed by laying stones in a particular pattern; usually including a center stone with lines radiating towards the outer circle. Staff at the Alice C. Tyler Village in Virginia recently called upon the healing energies of the medicine wheel to help the children who reside at the Village.
A circle garden was constructed near one of the residential cottages on the Village grounds in 2006. One young resident helped to draw the circle of the garden using stakes and string while several others helped to collect rocks used to outline the garden. The children created planting areas by collecting and piling pine needle mulch and spoiled hay within the circle. Children also helped to build two beautiful Leopold benches that grace the garden.
A garden club was formed of several children who help with garden maintenance each week. This not only keeps the garden looking great, but helps boost the children's self-worth as well. The garden is currently filled with perennials, self seeding plants, and the beautiful Sunflowers which have been a prominent part of the garden every year. Often during the spring and summer, children and staff will stop to peek at the swallow or bluebird babies in the nesting boxes located near the garden.
Several growing seasons have come and gone since the garden was built back in 2006, but the children of the Village continue to enjoy the healing powers that it brings. Whether it's building self esteem or simply offering a chance to reflect on the beauty of nature, the circle garden continues to be a sacred space for the abused and neglected children who make the Village their home.
To protect the identities of the children in our care, we cannot show their faces publicly.

What Is Aggressive Wifi To Cellular Handover?
Aggressive WiFi to cellular handover is a technology that allows mobile devices to switch seamlessly between cellular networks and WiFi networks. This technology is particularly useful in locations where WiFi signals are stronger or more reliable than cellular signals.
Aggressive WiFi to cellular handover works by detecting changes in the signal strength of both WiFi and cellular networks. When a mobile device detects that a WiFi network is strong and stable enough to provide an adequate network connection, it switches its network connectivity to that WiFi network. Likewise, when the signal strength of the WiFi network is weak or breaks down, the device switches back to cellular data seamlessly. Aggressive WiFi to cellular handover is a relatively new technology that solves traditional network connectivity problems faced by most mobile device users, ensuring uninterrupted network connectivity.
What is Aggressive WiFi to Cellular Handover?
Aggressive WiFi to cellular handover refers to a technology that enables devices to transition from a WiFi connection to a cellular connection seamlessly and quickly. This is important in scenarios where the WiFi signal is weak or unstable and the cellular network offers a stronger and more reliable signal. Here are some key points that explain this technology in more detail:
- WiFi to cellular handover is a common feature on smartphones and other devices that support both WiFi and cellular connectivity.
- Aggressive handover means that the device will automatically switch from WiFi to cellular when it detects a drop in WiFi signal strength, without waiting for the connection to completely fail.

We present a phenomenological approximation to the study of various non-universal features of liquid-liquid phase transitions in the framework of an approximate equation that relates the excess volume, the excess enthalpy, and the slope of the critical line. The mixtures under study are those containing 1-nitropropane (NP) or nitrobenzene (NB) and n-alkanes (CNH2N+2). The validity range of the above-mentioned equation is studied in detail for NP-CNH2N+2 systems. The consistency thus observed is within the experimental resolution limits, indicating that the equation can be extremely successful. The influence of effects at a molecular level on the slope of the critical line and on the critical amplitude of the isobaric thermal expansivity is analyzed from the microscopic interpretation of the excess volume and the excess enthalpy. This analysis is extended to NB-CNH2N+2 systems. The results reflect the importance of volumetric effects on critical behaviour, short-range anti-parallel ordering in NB appearing to be particularly relevant.

Referencing Package Contents
Now that we've covered Organizing Content, we'll discuss how to access that content across different packages. Let's consider the following example:
within ModelicaByExample.PackageExamples;
model RLC "An RLC circuit referencing types from the Modelica Standard Library"
 parameter Modelica.SIunits.Voltage Vb=24 "Battery voltage";
 parameter Modelica.SIunits.Inductance L = 1;
 parameter Modelica.SIunits.Resistance R = 100;
 parameter Modelica.SIunits.Capacitance C = 1e-3;
 Modelica.SIunits.Voltage V(fixed=true, start=0);
 Modelica.SIunits.Current i_L(fixed=true, start=0);
 Modelica.SIunits.Current i_R;
 Modelica.SIunits.Current i_C;
 i_R = V/R;
 i_C = C*der(V);
 L*der(i_L) = (Vb-V);
end RLC;
As we learned in the previous section, the very first line,
within ModelicaByExample.PackageExamples;
tells us that the RLC model is contained within the ModelicaByExample.PackageExamples package. As with the previous example, we are going to make use of the Modelica package system to allow us to avoid defining types directly in our model. In this way, we define the types once in one package and then we can reuse them in many places simply by referencing them.
Unlike the previous example in this chapter, we don't define any types in this example. Instead, we rely on types that are defined in the Modelica Standard Library. The Modelica Standard Library contains many useful types, models, constants, etc. For this example, we'll just utilize a few of them. These types can be easily recognized because they start with Modelica. in the name of the type.
We look more closely at the Lookup Rules later in this chapter. For now, it is sufficient to say that all the types starting with Modelica. exist within the Modelica package. In this case, all types start with Modelica.SIunits. SIunits is a package within the Modelica package. The purpose of the SIunits package is to store type definitions that conform to ISO standard quantities and units.
As can be seen in the example code, these types are referenced by their "fully qualified name". That means that type name starts with the name of a top-level package (a package that is not contained within another package). Each. in the name represents a new child package. The last name in the sequence identifies that actual type being referenced.
In this case, we are using 5 different types from within the Modelica.SIunits package: Voltage, Inductance, Resistance, Capacitance and Current. These types provide information about the units for each of these types, limitations on the values of these types (e.g., a capacitance cannot be less than zero), etc. They are defined in the Modelica Standard Library as follows:
// Base Definitions
type ElectricPotential = Real(final quantity="ElectricPotential",
 final unit="V");
type ElectricCurrent = Real(final quantity="ElectricCurrent",
 final unit="A");
// The types referenced in our example
type Voltage = ElectricPotential;
type Inductance = Real(final quantity="Inductance",
 final unit="H");
type Resistance = Real(final quantity="Resistance",
 final unit="Ohm");
type Capacitance = Real(final quantity="Capacitance",
 final unit="F", min=0);
type Current = ElectricCurrent;
Apart from providing better documentation, there is an immediate benefit to associating such types with variables and that is because it enables unit consistency checking of the equations. For example, note the following equation from this example:
i_R = V/R;
Clearly, this is a statement of Ohm's law. But what if we made a mistake and accidentally wrote:
i_R = V*R;
Syntactically speaking, this equation is perfectly legal. Furthermore, if the variable i_R, V and R were all declared to have the type Real, there would be no issue with this equation. However, because we know (from the type definitions) that these variables represent a current, a voltage and a resistance, respectively, a Modelica compiler is able to determine (in a completely automatic way using the definitions shown previously) that the left and right hand sides of this equation are inconsistent with respect to physical units. In other words, by associating a physical type with variables it is possible to detect modeling errors, automatically.

We seek to make protection services available for 200 of the most vulnerable children in Syria, by providing the following services: fitting hearing aids for children who suffer from partial or total hearing loss, speech teaching sessions, providing children of physical disabilities with wheelchairs, psychosocial support sessions and conducting events and recreational activities for moral support.
Children were the most affected group by the war in Syria, and hundreds of them became disabled after receiving injury, which deprived them of their right to practice a normal life, live their childhood and complete their education. Further, additional burden was placed on their parents given their inability to treat their children in light of the difficult economic and living conditions, which they are currently experiencing.
SEMA, through the Child Protection Teams, track the cases of injured and disabled children through the Aamal Centers which are spread in Al-Bab, Azaz, Sharran and Idleb in Northwest Syria. The teams also provide those children with psychosocial support and treatment, so that they can normally continue their lives. SEMA has fitted more than 200 hearing aids for children suffering from total or partial hearing loss. Also, SEMA has provided more than 50 wheelchairs for children with disability.
Through this campaign, we seek to make protection services available for 200 children, by providing the following services: 1. Fitting hearing aids for children who suffer from partial or total hearing loss. 2. Speech teaching sessions. 3. Providing children of physical disabilities with wheelchairs. 4. Psychosocial support sessions. 5. Conducting events and recreational activities for moral support.

Self-Distillation Amplifies Regularization in Hilbert Space
Abstract
Knowledge distillation introduced in the deep learning context is a method to transfer knowledge from one architecture to another. In particular, when the architectures are identical, this is called self-distillation. The idea is to feed in predictions of the trained model as new target values for retraining (and iterate this loop possibly a few times). It has been empirically observed that the self-distilled model often achieves higher accuracy on held out data. Why this happens, however, has been a mystery: the self-distillation dynamics does not receive any new information about the task and solely evolves by looping over training. To the best of our knowledge, there is no rigorous understanding of why this happens. This work provides the first theoretical analysis of self-distillation. We focus on fitting a nonlinear function to training data, where the model space is Hilbert space and fitting is subject to L2 regularization in this function space. We show that self-distillation iterations modify regularization by progressively limiting the number of basis functions that can be used to represent the solution. This implies (as we also verify empirically) that while a few rounds of self-distillation may reduce over-fitting, further rounds may lead to under-fitting and thus worse performance.

Variable emittance vane type louvers are flight proven, lightweight assemblies for temperature control of spacecraft equipment and structures. Applications have included both exposed and covered configurations, depending upon spacecraft performance requirements. One of the most recent applications of a new covered configuration is the louver assembly flying on the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE), which was successfully launched on a Delta II expendable launch vehicle (ELV) from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) on June 7, 1992 into a 528 kilometer circular orbit.
Because EUVE was designed for on-orbit exchange of payload and bus equipment, a new louver-cover design was required which provided protection of the astronauts and louvers during on-orbit servicing in the Space Transportation System (STS).
Described in this paper are features of the louver-cover design which were implemented to provide equal or better thermal control compared to that of the traditional louver-sunshield assembly. Data from thermal vacuum performance testing are included and results are compared to those for a traditional louver-sunshield assembly. The comparisons indicate better than expected performance was achieved for the new louver-cover design.
The enhanced thermal performance and increased durability of the improved louver-cover design make it an ideal application for future missions where on-orbit servicing or extreme micrometeorite environments are encountered.


The question: How to handle table misses? Can we handle this by setting the default action of tstgXY_update_state to finish_action? Will the default action interfere with the correct emulation of all virtual devices sharing the tstgXY_update_state table? - finish_action requires the next_stage as a parameter. The logical value to supply is X + 1 where 'X' is the value in tstgXY_update_state. - Can X + 1 sometimes be incorrect? Yes. - apply_and_select_blocks affect table reference sequence, and the p4c_hp4 compiler maps every table to a unique stage. Instead of setting a default action, we can have the compiler generate a rule for tstgXY_update_state: mparams: vdev_ID: [VDEV ID] action_ID: 0 action: finish_action aparams: next_stage: compiler determines: if 'miss' construct present: use the stage corresponding to the table identified in the 'miss' construct else: use h.p4_control_flows['ingress'].call_sequence call_sequence is a list in which each member is either a table reference, or a tuple, the first member of which is a table reference, and the second member is a list where each member represents an action_case. Find the subject table in the call_sequence; the target table is the next one at the same level in the call_sequence. This target table is the lookup for the stage to pass as the value for finish_action's next_stage parameter. Implementation: existing code that generates tsgtXY_update_state entries: gen_action_entries background: action_to_arep: member of: P4_to_HP4 type: {p4_action: Action_Rep} Action_Rep: stages (set (ints)) tables ({stage (int): table_name (str)}) call_sequence ([(prim_type (str), prim_subtype (str of int))]) initialized: compile_to_hp4 populated by walk_ingress_pipeline new method: gen_tmiss_entries for table_name in h.p4_tables: table = h.p4_tables[table_name] if 'miss' in table.next_: next_table = table.next_['miss'] # ... get stage associated with next_table else: ingress = h.p4_control_flows['ingress'] for entry in ingress.call_sequence: if type(entry) == p4_hlir.hlir.p4_tables.p4_table: elif type(entry) == tuple: else: print("Error: unsupported call_sequence entry type: " + str(type(entry))) >>> h.p4_tables['fwd'].next_ OrderedDict([(p4_action.a_fwd, p4_table.bogus1)]) >>> h.p4_tables['bogus1'].next_ {'miss': p4_table.bogus2, 'hit': p4_table.is_l4_valid} >>> h.p4_tables['bogus2'].next_ OrderedDict([(p4_action._no_op, p4_table.is_l4_valid)]) >>> h.p4_tables['is_l4_valid'].next_ OrderedDict([(p4_action.l4_is_valid, p4_table.fw_src), (p4_action._no_op, None)]) >>> h.p4_tables['fw_src'].next_ OrderedDict([(p4_action._drop, None), (p4_action._no_op, p4_table.fw_dst)]) >>> h.p4_tables['fw_dst'].next_ OrderedDict([(p4_action._drop, None), (p4_action._no_op, None)])

The Department of Disaster and Management Affairs (DoDMA) has urged farmers in Karonga District to practice diversification in farming with an aim of suiting amounts of rainfall that the District will receive.
Deputy Director for Risk Reduction at DoDMA, Fedson Chikuse made the remarks on Tuesday at Karonga Museum following revelation that dry spells are very likely to happen in January 2022 in the District as predicted by the Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services.
In areas where there has been prediction of low rainfall and likelihood of dry spells, we advise farmers to grow variety of crops that will match the amount of rainfall, Karonga is well known for growing rice so the type of rice should be that which matches the predicted rainfall amounts. Chikuse said.
On his part, Karonga District Commissioner Paul Kalilombe said the district is ready to reduce impact of low rainfall amounts and described the dissemination about rainfall amounts as very essential to communities that rely on farming.
As a district, we are ready because we have been doing preparations for a long time like providing equipment for measuring water levels, so dissemination about rainfall amounts is very necessary as this will help a lot of people who rely on rains to plan properly. He said.
According to the seasonal weather forecast by the Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services, in January 2022, the northern and southern parts of Karonga are likely to receive rainfall amounts between 175-210mm.
The department adds that areas of Traditional Authority Kyungu, Karonga Town and Nyika National Park will receive less rainfall amounts between the range of 75-140mm and likelihood of prolonged dry spells in January is very likely.

Wake up and smell the coffee! The taste of a freshly brewer cup will never taste as good as it smells
The smell of freshly brewed coffee can be hard to resist. Unfortunately, the taste doesn't always live up to expectations.
Scientists think they know why – and it is all to do with us having two senses of smell.
When we smell coffee as it is brewing, the aroma goes up through the nose and blows across a sheet of cells that send the information to the brain. Then, when the coffee is sipped and swallowed, the scent is pushed up from the throat towards the same sheet of cells at the top of the nose.
Scientists have discovered information about the taste of a food or drink is sent to a different part of the brain than smell, meaning the first sip of coffee is always bound to disappoint
But, crucially, it wafts across them in the opposite direction.
This second, 'retronasal', sense of smell leads to the information being sent to a different part of the brain and interpreted differently, the British Science Festival in Aberdeen heard.
As most of the taste of a food or drink actually comes from its smell, this, combined with many of the flavoursome chemicals in coffee being stripped out by saliva, leaves it bound to disappoint.
Professor Barry Smith, founder of the Centre for the Study of the Senses at the University of London, said: 'The smell of freshly-brewed coffee is absolutely wonderful. It's intoxicating.
'But aren't you always just a little disappointed when you taste it?
'People waste a lot of money trying to get better machines, the right pressure, sourcing the beans but it will never happen. When you put it in your mouth it mixes with saliva and that strips off about 300 of these volatile chemicals and they are never going to reach the nose again.
'What does reach the nose is going to have a different character to it because the brain actually cares about the direction the air is flowing across sheet of receptors across the top of the nose.
Dieters who fall down on a collection of memory traits are more likely to give in to temptation
'And of course, the companies that sell you it know that. It's wake up and smell the coffee. It's not wake up and taste it.'
Professor Smith said the reverse is true with whiffy cheeses which taste better than expected.
'Think of a smelly cheese, it smells like a teenager's training shoe,' he said. 'You think "do I really want to eat that?".
'But once it's in your mouth and you are experiencing the odour through your nose in the other direction, it's delicious.'
There is however, one food that always lives up to expectations.
Chocolate. No matter how it is smelt, the brain decodes the signals as being delicious.

One million (1,000,000) or one thousand thousand, is the natural number after 999,999 and before 1,000,001. The name is derived from Italian, where mille was 1,000, and 1,000,000 became milione, "a large thousand".
In scientific notation, it is written as 1×106 or just 106. Physical quantities can also be expressed using the SI prefix mega-, when dealing with SI units. For example, 1 megawatt equals 1,000,000 watts.
Il Milione is the title of Marco Polo's narration of his travel to China. The name is supposed to come from Polo's nickname after his tales of riches and multitudes.

In the electromagnetic field computation in consideration of nonlinear magnetic anisotropy, the solution by the Newton-Raphson method has some problems which are an asymmetric matrix and poor convergence characteristic. We applied the Fixed-Point method to the electromagnetic field computation in consideration of nonlinear magnetic anisotropy and examined the usefulness of the Fixed-Point method through comparing the Fixed-Point method with the ordinary Newton-Raphson method. The Fixed-Point method with a symmetric matrix is quite faster than the Newton-Raphson method with an asymmetric matrix. Therefore, the Fixed-Point method is a very useful technique in nonlinear magnetic anisotropy problems.

Stony River Reservoir was constructed on the Stony River in 1888 by Westvaco to supply the source of water for the company's main pulp mill. William Luke's summer residence was located on the lake. The dam suffered from structural weakness and was periodically drained for repairs. The center portion of the dam has since been demolished and the reservoir drained. The majority of the dam still stands on either side of the, now, free flowing river.

Title: The venture of self-fashioning in Mughal India
Author: Chakrabarti, Ishan
Abstract: Individuality – both as a philosophical category and a way of living – forms the focal point of a resonance between our times and the 17th-century. Impelled by this haunting resonance, and in an attempt to understand it, my paper examines the literary history of biographical writing in both Europe and South Asia, from 560 BCE to 1700 CE. What is it about the 17th century that is so specific? Why do only these biographies strike us as records of the lives of true individuals? And why do individuals first appear in 17th century South Asia? To adequately comprehend this nomadic literary genre, we must abstract ourselves from the geography and examine the thematic aspects of our texts. I suggest it is imperative to look at modes of life as they are formed over time, across Europe and South Asia. That is, we most focus on the philosophically-rich questions of the categories that structured lives. Pausing in the 17th century, I examine the Viaggi of Pietro Della Valle (an Italian traveler in Turkey, Iran and South Asia) and the Ardhakathānaka of Banārasīdāsa (the first Indian autobiography, comprising the records of a Jain merchant roaming South Asia). For just one generation, from _PHONE_, autobiographical writing becomes an ethical practice by which they reflect on and build individuality.

VisualParsic4: A C++ Library for Rapid HTML Generation
VisualParsic4 is a C++ library that allows you to create dynamic HTML pages without using any GUI toolkit. It uses simple content templates that define what and where the content should be inserted in the page using placeholders. You can also use VisualParsic4 to draw lines and shapes on SVG files.
In this article, we will show you how to install and use VisualParsic4 on Windows, and how to create a simple web page with it.
To install VisualParsic4, you need to download the ZIP file from this link and extract it to a folder of your choice. Then, run the visualparsic4_install.bat script to install the library and its dependencies. You will also need a C++ compiler, such as Visual Studio or MinGW.
To use VisualParsic4, you need to include the visualparsic4.h header file in your C++ source code. Then, you can create a VisualParsic4 object and call its init method with the following parameters:
The HTML element where you want to insert the content (such as a div or a span)
The path to the SVG file where you want to draw (optional)
The options for the content generation (such as color, font size, etc.)
For example, the following code creates a VisualParsic4 object and initializes it with a div element with id \"line1\" and an SVG file named \"file.svg\":
Then, you can use the VisualParsic4 object to generate content using placeholders. A placeholder is a string that starts with \"$\" and ends with \"$\". For example, \"$name$\" is a placeholder for the name of the user. You can define your own placeholders and assign them values using the set method of the VisualParsic4 object. For example, the following code sets the value of the \"$name$\" placeholder to \"John\":
vp.set (\"$name$\", \"John\");
You can also use predefined placeholders that are automatically filled by VisualParsic4. For example, \"$date$\" is a placeholder for the current date, and \"$time$\" is a placeholder for the current time. You can see the full list of predefined placeholders in the Visual Parsic 4 GitHub project.
To insert content into the HTML element, you need to use the insert method of the VisualParsic4 object. This method takes a string as an argument, which can contain plain text or placeholders. For example, the following code inserts a greeting message into the div element:
vp.insert (\"Hello, $name$. Today is $date$ and the time is $time$.\");
To draw lines and shapes on the SVG file, you need to use the draw methods of the VisualParsic4 object. These methods take two or more Kubeobjects as arguments, which are objects that represent points or vectors in 3D space. For example, the following code creates two Kubeobjects named line1 and line2, and draws a line between them:
var line1 = new Kubeobject (0, 0, 0);
var line2 = new Kubeobject (100, 100, 0);
vp.drawLine (line1, line2);
You can see more examples of drawing methods in the Visual Parsic 4 GitHub project.

Electrification of Midland Mainline Train Line
The electrification project for the Midland Mainline north of Market Harborough has begun. Three secure compounds have been created – South Wigston, Wistow Road (Kibworth Harcourt) and East Langton. These compounds are for delivery of materials, access and welfare and the cabins are solar powered.
An initial public meeting was held in KGSH on 18 July. One of the first tasks is the removal of vegetation alongside the railway line. Diseased and invasive plants along with tall trees, that could affect the gantries used for the wiring, started to be removed overnight from mid August. It is part of a sustainable land use plan. Bird nesting season will be avoided where possible, and hundreds of bird and bug boxes are being donated.
Once the vegetation has been cleared for each section, the installation of the overhead gantries will start. This involves pile driving the foundations for the pillars every 50m or so along the section. Each piling should take 20-40mins to complete and all must be done at night using equipment that runs along the rails, so avoiding conflict with daytime passenger and freight train services.
The approximate timescale has the vegetation management running until June 2023. Piling is expected to start in October 2022 and be completed by August 2023. The wiring element of the project is due to commence in January 2023 and be completed by the end of the year, meaning the works should be complete after quality assurance testing by January 2024. Like all big infrastructure projects, these dates are subject to change!

text: This later nineteenth-century tabernacle frame of ebony-veneered soft wood was designed to house reverse-painted glass. The technique of reverse painting on glass, often called "verre eglomisé", dates to the Roman era, and was widely practiced in Europe by the early sixteenth century. Essentially, an image is painted on the back of a transparent glass or polished rock crystal support and meant to be viewed through it, the substrate becoming an integral part of the painting. The Lehman glass panels were probably painted in Lombardy in the second half of the sixteenth century.This tabernacle house altar has a semicircular pediment and rock crystal columns with silver-gilt Corinthian capitals and bases. A cast silver-gilt relief of God the Father in Benediction fills the pediment, which is surmounted by an agate urn with silver-gilt mounts flanked by two pointed agate finials. Cast silver-gilt appliqués decorate the entablature, the columns and the predella. The reverse-painted central arched panel represents the Adoration of the Shepherds while below, a narrow frieze of smaller vertical plaques shows the Adoration of the Magi in the center, flanked by the Angel Gabriel and the Virgin of the Annunciation. The outer panels show the Eucharistic host, chalice, and paten on the left and the "Arma Christi" on the right.Although its style dates from the early seventeenth century, the wooden framework for this house altar was built in the nineteenth century, probably by Reinhold Vasters (_PHONE_) or someone in his workshop. Vasters was a highly skilled German silversmith and goldsmith who for a time served as restorer at the Aachen Cathedral treasury. There, in the spirit of nineteenth-century historicism, he not only restored but also replaced worn or damaged liturgical objects. It is likely that the Lehman tabernacle house altar was made expressly to house a set of sixteenth-century reverse-painted panels. The unified program and the similarity of the style of the painting on the ten rock crystal panels suggest that they were scavenged from a single piece.

What happens when beer gets skunked?
The truth is simple: the musky aroma has one cause: a chemical reaction that occurs when ultraviolet light interacts with the bitter hop compounds in a brew.
A skunky beer is called "lightstruck" by chemists and beer nerds, and this is why you'll often find odoriferous brews in clear or green bottles..
Can you drink beer left out overnight?
There should be no reason why beer would lose any quality from being left out at room tempreture then being re-cooled. … Beer is very resistant to heat, it will preffer to be stored in a cold location, but will probably not go bad at room temperature for extended periods of time. What really spoil it is is UV light.
Is it OK to let cold beer get warm?
Beer stored cold will last longer, especially if it is a hoppy brew, but there is no real harm done to the beer if you take it out of the fridge and let it warm to room temperature, then chill it down again. … With that said beer can be stored and displayed warm it is just BETTER to store it COLD.
Can you drink 10 year old beer?
Here's the bottom line: drinking a ten-year-old beer is certainly safe. You won't get sick from drinking old beer, nor will you suffer any major side effects (aside from a foul taste in your mouth and drunkenness).
Can you chill and Unchill beer?
Experiment with different serving temperatures until you find your sweet spot for different styles. … Cold stored beer will last longer, especially if it is a hoppy brew, but there is no real harm done to the beer if you take it out of the fridge and let it warm to room temperature, then chill it down again.
Can you drink 3 year old beer?
The simple answer is yes, the beer is still good insofar as it is safe to drink. Since most beer is either pasteurized or filtered to eliminate bacteria, it's extremely resistant to spoiling. How the beer will taste is another matter.
Does beer make you fat?
Any alcoholic drink will make you fat if you eat food at the same time as the alcohol affects your body's ability to metabolise calories (causing them to be stored as fat rather than glycogen in the liver), however as beer has a high associated calorific content (compared to other alcoholic drinks) it will make you …
How long does it take for beer to go skunky?
The answer, as with most things in life, is: it depends. Beer typically lasts for six to nine months past the expiration date on its label. If the beer is refrigerated, it can last up to two years beyond the expiration date. It all depends on what your tolerance for those nasty flavors that come with bad beer is.
Can you keep beer at room temperature?
Much the same way, keeping beer refrigerated will keep its flavor as the brewer intended for much longer. Keeping beer at room temperature can drop a beer's shelf life from nearly six months to only a few weeks, and exposing the same beer to very warm temperatures can affect its flavor in a matter of a couple of days.
CAN expired beer get you drunk?
Beer, like wine, does continue to age after it is packaged. Unlike wine, this isn't really a good thing. As beer sits, it will continue to ferment. … Beer doesn't become unsafe to drink as it matures, but it will begin to taste flat — either because it loses flavor or develops an off-putting flavor profile.
Can you drink out of date beer 2 years?
No, beer has no use by date, meaning it is safe to drink well past the best before date. Beer won't be dangerous to drink, but the taste of the beer will deteriorate over time. … Make sure you store your beer in a cool dark place, to avoid the beer "skunking".
How do you keep beer from getting skunky?
Drink beer indoors or in the shade, and don't let your beer sit around too long before drinking it. Buy beer packaged in light-proof containers. If light cannot penetrate the beer container, the formation of the skunky compound will be completely prevented in the container.
Will skunked beer make you sick?
Although skunked beer is considered to have a bad smell and taste, the ingredient 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol, that causes the beer to be skunked, has no ill effects on the health of the human body. So, the answer is yes, you can still drink skunked beer, without getting sick.
Why does Corona smell like skunk?
We're exaggerating, but Corona and other beers bottled in clear or green glass have developed a reputation as smelling "skunky" or spoiled. … The leftover chemicals hook up with sulfur-packed proteins, and produce a chemical compound that's structurally (and smellably) similar to a skunk's defense spray.
How do you know if beer is off?
Some other possible traits of expired beer product are a change in the color of the beer or a "dusty" settlement visible in the bottom of the bottle. If these things are going on in the bottle, the beer has most likely gone bad and the taste will be "flat" and possibly spoiled tasting.

Belief in hell which is a place of punishment for the spirits of wicked people go after death is common in almost all religions. Hell can have different names and structures in different religions but the common point is that it is a place of torment and suffering. Despite having these negative features, the visual depictions and artistic interpretations of hell continue to be produced and attract attention to this day since the first emergence of belief in hell. The depictions, interpretations, and metaphors of the concept of hell in art make the significance of hell worth examining. The reason why hell has an important place for itself in art and popular culture is in line with the reasons of religions that produce it. When examining why the concept of hell exists in religions and what it means to people, an evaluation can be made on the reasons and significance of the depictions and interpretations of hell in art. The fact that the concept of Hell can be used as a metaphor in expressing feelings such as pain, fear, and hate makes it valuable beyond terms of religion. While the similarity of the concept of hell with life on the earth makes it seem more realistic in the human mind compared to other religious concepts, expressing life on the earth through the metaphor of hell offers a realistic approach to life itself.

In addition to demonstrating PiP, Object Matrix is launching its new management API software, which enables access to audit and monitoring information. It's also featuring Trashcan, which works like the trashcan on a PC, meaning that when content is accidentally deleted it can be stored on the system and recovered instead of being removed entirely.
Nicholas Pearce-Tomenius, sales and marketing director, Object Matrix, said: "We are noticing the rapid increasing of file sizes and the number of platforms for content provision.

Definition:Divisor (Algebra)/Real Number
From ProofWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Let $\R$ be the set of real numbers.
Let $x, y \in \R$.
Then $x$ divides $y$ is defined as:
$x \divides y \iff \exists t \in \Z: y = t \times x$
where $\Z$ is the set of integers.
That is, that $y$ is an integer multiple of $x$.
A more old-fashioned term for divisor is part:
In the words of Euclid:
(The Elements: Book $\text{V}$: Definition $1$)
Let $x \divides y$ denote that $x$ divides $y$.
Then the following terminology can be used:
$x$ is a divisor of $y$
$y$ is a multiple of $x$
$y$ is divisible by $x$.
In the field of Euclidean geometry, in particular:
$x$ measures $y$.
To indicate that $x$ does not divide $y$, we write $x \nmid y$.
Also known as
A divisor can also be referred to as a factor.
The conventional notation for $x$ is a divisor of $y$ is "$x \mid y$", but there is a growing trend to follow the notation "$x \divides y$", as espoused by Knuth etc.
From Ronald L. GrahamDonald E. Knuth and Oren Patashnik: Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science (2nd ed.):
The notation '$m \mid n$' is actually much more common than '$m \divides n$' in current mathematics literature. But vertical lines are overused -- for absolute values, set delimiters, conditional probabilities, etc. -- and backward slashes are underused. Moreover, '$m \divides n$' gives an impression that $m$ is the denominator of an implied ratio. So we shall boldly let our divisibility symbol lean leftward.
An unfortunate unwelcome side-effect of this notational convention is that to indicate non-divisibility, the conventional technique of implementing $/$ through the notation looks awkward with $\divides$, so $\not \! \backslash$ is eschewed in favour of $\nmid$.
Some sources use $\ \vert \mkern -10mu {\raise 3pt -} \ $ or similar to denote non-divisibility.

District Police Departments
Use of forcible means
When on duty, the police have the right in certain situations to use forcible means that can be considered justifiable. In determining this justifiability, the factors considered include the importance and urgency of the duty, the dangerousness of the resistance being shown and the available resources.
The police are entitled to use forcible means in order to
Only the minimum necessary force is used. The lock to an apartment, for example, will not be broken unless this is urgently required. Instead, the police will acquire a key with which entry can be made without causing any damage.
Use of force is permitted in all types of police duties. While it is most commonly used in uniformed police duties, force may also be used by other police officers when, for example, apprehending offenders. Police officers, as indeed anyone else, also have the right of self-defence.

Finding DC operating points of nonlinear circuits is an important and difficult task. The Newton-Raphson method adopted in the SPICE-like simulators often fails to converge to a solution. To overcome this convergence problem, homotopy methods have been studied from various viewpoints. However, most previous studies are mainly focused on the bipolar transistor circuits and no paper presents the global convergence theorems of homotopy methods for MOS transistor circuits. Moreover, due to the improvements and advantages of MOS transistor technologies, extending the homotopy methods to MOS transistor circuits becomes more and more necessary and important. This paper proposes two nonlinear homotopy methods for MOS transistor circuits and proves the global convergence theorems for the proposed MOS nonlinear homotopy method II. Numerical examples show that both of the two proposed homotopy methods for MOS transistor circuits are more effective for finding DC operating points than the conventional MOS homotopy method and they are also capable of finding DC operating points for large-scale circuits.

How an incident's due date is calculated
Answer ID 2215 | Last Review Date 01/03/2020
What is an incident's relative due date (incidents.rel_due) and how is it calculated?
Service Level Agreements, Response Time
When an incident is created, an initial due date is calculated. This value only changes when the response requirements associated with the incident are changed due to the application of a service level agreement (SLA) or if the RECALC_INCIDENT_DUE configuration is set.
The relative due date is calculated by taking the incident's time of creation and adding the response time (from response requirements) associated with the incident. In addition, the due date takes into account the work hours that are configured in the Default Response Requirements table or the hours configured in the applied SLA.
For example if RECALC_INCIDENT_DUE is set to 0, the incident's response time is 45 minutes and the incident comes into the system at 9:00am on 10/10/07, the due date will be 10/10/07 at 9:45. This value does not change regardless of customer updates to the incident and/or additional responses. The value only changes if the response requirements change.
Similarly, if the work interval is configured to be 8:00 to 17:00 on Monday through Friday, and the response requirement is 540 minutes (9 hours). If an incident comes in at 3:00pm on Friday, the date due will be 3:00pm on Monday because the work intervals are taken into account when calculating the date due.
When incidents are created outside of business hours, the time the incident remained in the queue until the business hours begin is not counted against the due date. For example: Business hours are M-F 8:00 to 17:00. The response time is three hours. An incident submitted on Saturday at 15:00 would be due Monday, 11:00 am.
Note that the Resolution Time that is configured for the response requirements or an SLA is never used in calculating the date due value. Both the Response Time and the Resolution Time are based on the created time stamp of when the incident is initially created in the system.
For examples of when the RECALC_INCIDENT_DUE is enabled, see Answer ID 4729: Description of RECALC_INCIDENT_DUE configuration setting

Our industry loves talking about food (honestly, who doesn't?). So, when talking professionally about your product, it's nice to explain the texture and taste on a scale everyone understands. That's why we have Texture Profile Analysis (TPA). It began as a trained sensory panel measuring and describing the textural properties of food. Today, specialized equipment can be used for a more objective and scalable option.
What does texture profile analysis tell you?
TPA helps describe the textural attributes of the food product, which are broken down into different primary categories:
- Hardness: the initial force used to deform
- Cohesiveness: how the item holds together
- Viscosity: flow rate
- Elasticity: the rate at which a deformed item reforms, or its springiness
- Adhesiveness: rate at which item comes away from probe (instrumental) or roof of mouth/teeth
The primary categories can be further broken down into secondary categories:
- Resilience: measurement of how a sample recovers from deformation in relation to speed and forces
- Brittleness (Fracturability): the initial force needed for a material to fracture
- Chewiness: energy required to chew a solid food until it is ready for swallowing
- Gumminess: energy required to disintegrate a semisolid food until it is ready to swallow
Each of these categories can been broken down even further to give a clearer picture of the food. Measurements are made by compressing an item to a set distance and analyzing the force it takes for the item to deform.

Excitation (total ion yield) and de-excitation (resonant photoemission) spectra have been measured in the Si 1s photoexcitation region of the F 3SiCH2CH2Si(CH3)3 molecule using monochromatized undulator radiation. Theoretical calculations within the framework of density functional theory have reproduced the observed total ion yield spectrum very well. The first peak at the lowest photon energy, coming from Si 1s excitation at the trimethyl side into a vacant orbital, induces spectator Auger decays in which the excited electron remains in its valence orbital. The second peak produced through excitation of Si 1s electron at the trifluoride side generates resonant Auger decays in which the excited valence electron remains predominantly also in the valence orbital or is partly shaken up into higher Rydberg orbitals. The third peak generated through Si 1s excitation at the trifluoride side produces resonant Auger decays in which the excited Rydberg electron remains or is partly shaken down to a lower lying valence molecular orbital. These findings exhibit a clear distinction between resonant Auger decays following photoexcitation of Si 1s electrons under different chemical environments.

How to Stop Voice From Changing When Nervous
Nervousness can have a negative impact on how you speak
Image Credit: BakiBG/iStock/Getty Images
If you are nervous when you are speaking, that can cause a noticeable change in your voice tone. A shaky voice conveying nerves can be a big issue, whether you are making a public speech or having an important one-on-one conversation. Conveying nervousness in your voice tone or body language can reduce your chances of success in anything from a job interview to a date.
Step 1
Convey confidence when you speak. Rather than concentrating on not messing up, aim to project confidence and authority in your voice tone. This makes you seem more knowledgeable and lends more weight to the points you are making. Motivational speaker and communication specialist Rachel Green cites voice volume as a major factor in confident communication. Green says that confident communication is easy to hear, but quiet speech can convey nervousness.
Step 2
Put energy and effort into your diction and pronunciation when speaking. A common sign of nervousness is when your words fade away or sound mumbled at the end of a sentence. Common sounds that can waver when you are nervous include the sounds of the letters T, D and K. Practice repeating a phrase like "bake the cake," emphasizing clarity at the start and end of each word.
Step 3
Practice your speech. Tape record yourself giving the speech, them listen for for clarity in your voice and identify where certain words or letters convey nervousness. Continue to practice and to gain confidence as you improve.
Step 4
Use body language and posture to display confidence. According to the Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland, research shows that when you communicate with others, words convey only 7 percent of your feelings, while body language conveys 55 percent. Slumped shoulders and slouched posture can convey nervousness when you are speaking. Practice speaking into a mirror or have a friend watch you speak, then note if you convey nervousness with any posture or twitching motions. Practice repeatedly, and gain confidence from improvements you see.

Type of flour and starter activity- A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT
Hello, I'm new to this site but I really needed some suggestions from experienced bakers for a science project that I'm planning to do it school.
I want to measure the different rates of activity of starters made with different types of flours (whole wheat, refined wheat, rye, corn meal(?), corn flour(?), rice(?) etc), keeping all the other variables constant, of course.
If I'm not wrong, starter activity depends on the amount of starch (what the microorganisms feed on) and possibly the amount of gluten in the flour (traps in the CO2 bubbles as it is formed), correct? Then hypothetically, since the rice and corn flour have the highest starch content, they should allow for the starter to form very quickly? But also as they don't have much gluten (if at all), the starters won't visibly rise a lot?
Before I actually started the experiments I just wanted to question whether:
1.) This would actually work- if I prepare multiple small batches of starters and make each of the starters with one type of flour beginning to end, will the non-conventional flours actually make an active starter?
2.) Will the different starters yield a big enough difference in their activity that I'll be able to write an analysis on it?
3.) Are there any other factors that affect starter activity other than starch and gluten content?

Information Extraction and Computational Linguistics: A Case for Probabilistic Datalog
Supervisor: Dr Thomas Roelleke
Research group(s): Risk & Information Management
Probabilistic Datalog (PDatalog) is a rule-based programming paradigm that provides a high-level data abstraction. PDatalog can be applied to information management tasks such as classification, summarisation, semantic (knowledge-based) retrieval, prediction and recommendation. This project aims at exploring the options to model methods and algorithms from information extraction and computational linguistics in PDatalog. The syntax and meaning of language can be captured in rules (onthologies), and the semantics of a text can be modelled as a set of facts and rules. The purpose of this project is to investigate the application of probabilistic reasoning to extract information and to reason about language. There are numerous challenges to be addressed. The main hypothesis is that many knowledge engineers (data analysts) can benefit from a high-level abstraction to model methods used for information extraction and in computational linguistics.

Rainier III, Prince of Monaco Biography
(Prince of Monaco from 1949 to 2005)
Birthday: May 31, 1923 (Gemini)
Born In: Monaco
Prince Rainier III, also known as Rainier Louis Henri Maxence Bertrand Grimaldi was the ruler of Monaco for nearly 56 years. He was one of the longest reigning monarchs in European history. Prince Rainier Grimaldi was born in Monte Carlo, Monaco and his parents got divorced when he was a child. He stayed with his mother who was the only child of Louis II of Monaco and the sole successor to the Monegasque throne. After studying in the finest schools of England and Switzerland, he went on to complete his graduation from France and also served during the World War II, fighting against the Nazi occupation. Subsequently, his mother renounced her right to become the princess and after his grandfather's death, he was crowned as His Serene Highness Rainier III, Sovereign Prince of Monaco. After ascending the throne, he worked assiduously and launched initiatives to revive the economy of Monaco which had been weakened since the World War II. He was also responsible for implementing reforms in Monaco's constitution and expanding its economy. Later, he became internationally known due to his fairy-tale marriage with the American movie star, Grace Kelly. But, after Kelly's tragic death in an automobile accident, he buried himself in his work and led a solitary life, refusing to marry again. After fighting a long illness in his old age, he died at the age of 81, and was buried next to his late wife.

Finding a suitable apartment and successfully securing it can be an exciting yet time-consuming process. One important aspect of this process is the approval of your rental application by the landlord or property management company. The time it takes to get approved for an apartment can vary depending on several factors. Let's take a closer look at these factors to understand how long the approval process may take.
1. Completing the Application: The first step towards getting approved for an apartment is filling out the rental application accurately and thoroughly. This includes providing personal information, rental history, employment details, and references. The time it takes to complete the application can vary depending on how organized and prepared you are. It is advisable to have all the necessary information and documents ready in advance to expedite the process.
2. Background and Credit Check: After submitting your application, the landlord or property management company will typically conduct a background and credit check. This step is crucial for them to assess your financial stability and ensure you have a clean criminal record. Background and credit checks can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the efficiency of the screening process.
3. Verifying References and Employment: Landlords often contact references and employers provided in the application to verify the information provided. This may involve reaching out to previous landlords, supervisors, or colleagues to gather insights about your character, punctuality, and ability to pay rent on time. The time it takes to complete this step largely depends on the responsiveness of your references and employers.
4. Waiting for Approval: Once all the necessary checks and verifications have been completed, the landlord or property management company will review your application in its entirety. They will consider factors such as your credit history, income, rental history, and references to make an informed decision. The duration of this review process can vary depending on the volume of applications received and the diligence of the landlord.
5. Negotiating Lease Terms: After approval, you may need to negotiate lease terms with the landlord. This can involve discussing rent, security deposit, lease duration, and any additional clauses. The negotiation process can take a few days or longer, depending on the landlord's availability and willingness to accommodate your requests.
In conclusion, the time it takes to get approved for an apartment can range from a few days to a few weeks. To expedite the process, it is essential to be proactive, organized, and responsive. Being prepared with all necessary documents, having good references, and a stable financial history can increase your chances of a quick approval. Keep in mind that each landlord or property management company may have their own unique timeline and procedures, so it is always a good idea to inquire about their specific process upfront.

Extract gold with cornstarch | Ecological method
Widely used in cooking, cornstarch has become an ecological solution for extracting gold. This new technique is less dangerous for the environment and for mine workers.
Researchers at Northwester University have discovered that corn starch is just as effective as cyanide or mercury in extracting gold.
Fortunately, a post-doctoral researcher Zhichang Liu wanted to mix two aqueous solutions. he had mixed a corn starch derivative with dissolved gold salt. Indeed, the first test tube contained a kind of sugar "alpha-cyclodextrin", which resulted from the degradation of starch with bacteria. And there was another test tube filled with gold.
Surprise, tiny needles have formed. Zhichang was saddened because he hoped to see small cubic structures, capable of storing gases or other molecules.
."At first, I was disappointed that my experience did not produce cubes, but when I saw the needles, I wanted to learn more about their composition," said researcher Zhichang Liu in a statement released by his university. . This study was published in the journal Nature Communications.
"Zhichang fell on the magic formula to isolate gold from anything else in an ecological way", estimates Fraser Stoddart who supervised the research.
Going from sadness to joy, researcher Liu had just found the miracle and ecological formula for extracting gold. These needles are an assembly of 4000 nanowires of gold ions, trapped by atoms, water and cyclodextrin.
In addition, the researchers used this technique on another mixture containing platinum or palladium. The sugar molecules succeeded in extracting 78% of gold and metal. They work to purify gold with small pearls containing zinc, gold, copper or silver.
This process is based on a leaching process carried out in two stages:
1) Replacement of cyanide by cornstarch
This starch derivative extracts gold from the ore in a more ecological way. Cyanide is replaced by using starch from corn to extract heavy metal.
2) Use this technique to dissociate the precious metal from electronic waste.
This magic technique is very effective in separating precious metal from electronic waste.
The benefits of cornstarch
- inexpensive product
- affordable product
- it is a food compound
- not dangerous for humans
- biodegradable in nature
- ecological means
- relies on a non-toxic and inexpensive starch derivative
- dissociates precious metal from electronic waste
- replaces cyanide with cornstarch
Professor Fraser Stoddart of Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences explains:
"We have replaced harmful reagents (cyanide salts) with an inexpensive and environmentally friendly material. "
This is good news for the planet since it made a 1/3-ounce 18-carat cycle result in at least 20 tonnes of waste and 13 pounds of toxic emissions, according to data collected by Mother Jones. In addition, these emissions contain 5.5 pounds of lead, 3 pounds of arsenic, almost 2 ounces of mercury and 1 ounce of cyanide, a solution that is mostly used in laboratories. But researchers are working to intensify the process for industrial use. With any luck, we may have found the Holy Grail of the gold industry.
This new technique is a real blessing for the environment, the miners and the population.

Wood Burning Or Multifuel?
Being clear about what each term means is therefore invaluable and will help you to come to a final purchasing decision more easily. Many of Alpine stoves for example the 250 cast iron stove, are made to be either log burning or multifuel burners, it is necessary to be clear on which would best for your individual heating needs.
What is a multifuel stove?
A multi-fuel wood burning stove is designed to burn a range of fuels:
 - Wooden logs
 - Smokeless fuel
This is possible by the central riddling grate and ash pan, or a raised grate that has bars which allows the stove to efficiently burn many types of materials. Unlike wood burning stoves, the fuel bed needs to be de-ashed to help create and manage for the best combustion and the best burning as well. The design of Alpines multifuel stoves includes an ash pan underneath the grate to both collect and enable the safe removal of the ashes that are created during burning times.
Innovations in Alpines stoves design have helped with this burning process and make a quicker, easier and cleaner air wash process. It is worth noting also the improvement that an air inlet makes to efficient combustion as it introduces air from underneath the grate.
What is a wood burning stove?
A wood burning stove runs far more effectively when the fuel is allowed to sit on a bed of ashes. For this reason you will note that a wood stove usually has a fixed grate with a flat base. This ensures that the ashes created when logs are burning are collected in the base of the firebox to allow fresh logs to be placed on top: this greatly assists the combustion process.

A program aimed at improving access to health care by increasing the number of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) is showing positive results in a report recently presented to Congress. Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center (TMC) is one of only five institutions nationwide chosen to participate in the Graduate Nurse Education (GNE) Demonstration.
The purpose of the Demonstration is to increase the number of APRNs by funding their clinical training. APRNs improve access to care and reduce healthcare costs by providing primary care, preventive care, transitional care, chronic care management, and other services.
Historically, many hospitals and healthcare institutions have been limited in their ability to provide clinical training due to cost, which consequentially affected APRN enrollment, according to The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Under the GNE Demonstration, CMS provided training reimbursement to the five participating hospitals that were required to partner with accredited schools of nursing and non-hospital community-based care settings, ensuring students also received training in underserved areas of the country where access to care is especially critical.
"Working with APRN students over the last several years has helped our office see their value as an essential aspect of primary care moving forward," said Dr. Peter Jung, pediatrician at Blue Fish Pediatrics affiliated with Memorial Hermann Health System. "APRNs offer a desirable combination of clinical experience, seasoned bedside manner, and practical fund of knowledge which translates into high quality care for patients."
Memorial Hermann-TMC has far exceeded its initial goal of graduating an additional 400 APRNs in four years. As of August 2016, the Demonstration had graduated 1,695 APRNs of which 98 percent are currently employed in community care settings, offering skilled, high-quality care in areas that need it most. In addition, enrollments in APRN programs at GNE schools have seen a 180 percent increase in enrollment since the beginning of the Demonstration.
"The Demonstration Project has far exceeded its goals and expectations and our participation in this innovative program is not only having a positive impact on our community, it is providing lasting benefits for hundreds of nursing students," said Lori Hull-Grommesh, Director of the Texas Gulf Coast Graduate Nurse Education Demonstration at Memorial Hermann-TMC.
Memorial Hermann-TMC partnered with Prairie View A&M University College of Nursing, Texas Woman's University-Houston College of Nursing, University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston School of Nursing, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston School of Nursing, physician groups, hospitals, community care clinics, Federally Qualified Health Centers and Gateway to Care to accomplish the Demonstration goals set forth by CMS.
"My experience with the GNE has been amazing and the program is truly beneficial to both students and patients. The GNE aids in increasing the number of highly qualified nurse practitioners, which in turn increases access to care for thousands of patients in our community," said Raymond Donato, APRN, adult-gerontology nurse practitioner.
As the Demonstration has been extended to a sixth and final year, a main focus is on the sustainability efforts of the Demonstration with the goal to continue to provide funding for APRN clinical training. Learn more about the Texas Gulf Coast Graduate Nurse Education Demonstration.
