Livelihood Strategies of Female Indigenous Vegetable Farmers' in Osun State, Nigeria
- Adeolu Ayanwale
- Christianah Amusan
This study examined the socioeconomic characteristics, income profile and pattern of livelihood diversification strategies of resource-constrained female indigenous vegetable farmers in Osun state, which may serve as entry point for poverty alleviation and women empowerment in the study area.
A total of 240 female indigenous vegetable farmers were surveyed through the use of pre-tested structured questionnaire during the 2011/2012 production cycle. The study established that the majority of the respondents were below 50 years of age (73%), married (78%) with more than 7 years of formal education (51.7%) and cultivated less than 1 hectare of vegetables (65%). Vegetable production is the most important source of income contributing about half of the total income of the farmers but its share reduces as total income increases. Cluster analysis identified six livelihood portfolio combinations- sole vegetable farming, vegetable and livestock farming, part time vegetable and livestock farming, mixed farming, arable crop farming, part time mixed farming. Part time mixed farming was the most successful livelihood portfolio because it had the highest daily per capita income (N 378.55), the highest proportion of the rich (72.73%) and the lowest proportion of the poor (4.55%), while, vegetable and livestock farming was most common among the poorest farmers (53.85%).
A major policy implication of the results of the study is that multiple complementary economic activities such as milling and other food processing activities should be encouraged among the female indigenous vegetable farmers, to enable them generate sufficient incomes to improve on their livelihood.

Paid revision courses: time for a boycott
- By: Grant S Nolan
They message me more than my girlfriend does, I see their shiny leaflets plastered on the student union's walls, and one plucky company representative even had the audacity to give a quick sales pitch after a lecture. Exam season is looming, and paid revision courses are everywhere.
Medical schools have been around for centuries, educating bright eyed students. They teach us everything from approaching an unconscious patient in the street, to explaining the stomach ache one gets after being kicked in the balls.* Medical societies often provide revision events and proactive students have long formed their own revision groups; testing each other and working together through indecipherable lecture notes. So what gap are these revision courses plugging?
That question becomes even more relevant when you consider the staggering cost of these courses. With recent tuition fee changes to £9000 a year, medicine can already be unaffordable for those without substantial

How to access the Rate of Rise graph on IKAWA Pro App
During the roast the 'actual' RoR is also mapped on the graph (in yellow). This allows you to see how the actual RoR is following the prescribed one, which is particularly useful to see if the roast 'stalls' after first crack, or how the roaster managed the beans going exothermic, then compensating quickly afterwards.
The IKAWA Pro Sample Roaster measures the temperature every second to the nearest 1/10th of a degree Centigrade, and you can see this level of precision on the Actual line of the Temperature graph during a roast. The readings for the Actual RoR are based on the temperature measurements at 15 second intervals. We have not applied any 'smoothing' algorithms, so the graph looks slightly angular, but is very useful for showing the trend.
If users want to delve even deeper into looking at Rate of Rise per second, you can do this by exporting the data for each second of the roast in CSV format and doing some analysis on excel. Our Roast Log feature means you can download unique roast data from all roasts you do on the 2.0 app.
WHY IS RATE OF RISE IMPORTANT?
The rate of rise is the speed that temperature increases (or decreases) during the roast at any given time – for further reading there's a clear and articulate post about this by Morten Münchow on Coffee Minds. Conventional wisdom is that from just after the Turning Point, a good roast will have a steadily decreasing RoR.
The IKAWA roaster has the ability to heat up very quickly – much faster than conventional sample roasters, or large roasters too, and the small batch size means the Turning Point tends to happen within the first minute.
In our experience, people pay most attention to the end of the roast. At the time of the first crack, it's particularly important to be aware of the RoR and use it to ensure roast profiles are getting the best from the coffee.
After first crack, the temperature itself should continue to rise slowly, but if that Rate of Rise increases after first crack it can make the coffee baked – even on light roasts. Matt Perger's excellent Let's Talk About Roasting post quotes Sang Ho from Square Mile by referring to it as the Flick of Death.
Similarly, it's important that the roast doesn't stall after first crack. This will happen if the rate of rise goes negative – i.e. temperature in the roast chamber decreases. This can lead to underdeveloped coffee and the qualities that go with that.
We'd love to know how this feature helps you to design and amend your profiles, and even translate them to larger roasters. Please drop us a line at _EMAIL_.


How do I set the time on my word clock?
After setting the slideshow interval to one minute on your digital picture frame, navigate to the word clock images and select the image for the current time. For example, if the current time is 4:59pm, select the word clock image 5-00-00.jpg (IT IS FIVE O'CLOCK) at exactly 5:00pm.

Why do I set the time interval to one minute and not five minutes?
Although the word clock shows the time in five minute increments, we use multiple images of the same time so you can remove some of them from a digital picture frame that is displaying the word clock images too slowly. See below.

Why is my word clock slow/fast/out of sync?
Some digital picture frames can take a few milliseconds to load an image which causes the word clock to run slowly. Other digital picture frames try to compensate for this by loading the image earlier than the set time interval which causes the word clock to run too quickly. See below.

My word clock is out of sync. How do I fix it?
First, you need to determine how many seconds your word clock is behind/ahead:
 1. On your digital picture frame, find the first image in a five minute increment (e.g. 5-00-00.jpg -> IT IS FIVE O'CLOCK).
 2. Select the image at exactly the same time the next minute starts on your watch, phone's clock, computer's clock, etc. The more accurate you can be, the better, so you should find a clock that displays seconds.
 3. Pay close attention to the word clock and your timing device after four minutes have passed. When the word clock changes to the next image, record the number of seconds before/after the five minute mark.
Enter the number of seconds you recorded into the following form and select whether your word clock is slow or fast:

In 2008, the authors published a review that highlighted an emerging trend for medical schools to change their names to those of wealthy donors. Since 2008, the names of ten benefactors have been added to the medical schools receiving their gifts. Twenty-three of the 141 U.S. medical schools accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education are currently named after donors. Large donations have the potential to positively affect all stakeholders by improving the resources that are available for research, teaching, and clinical care, but the rapid increase in the naming of medical schools after wealthy benefactors raises important concerns for those same stakeholders. In this perspective, the authors explore such concerns and identify mitigating strategies that institutions facing these issues in the future can use to ensure that the benefit associated with a gift outweighs any adverse impact. The authors argue for a strong presumption of impropriety when a donor possesses a conflict of interest with the potential to affect clinicians' judgment. They go on to assess how donors' control of funds may have an impact on institutional mission and research agenda, and analyze the right of an organization to remove a benefactor's name for alleged wrongdoing. The perspective considers how renaming may negatively affect brand recognition and the associated impact on students, residents, faculty, and alumni. Finally, it concludes with an analysis of taxpayer-funded organizations and the concern that educational renaming will lead to a slippery slope in which other public goods are effectively purchased by wealthy donors.

The FCC Enforcement Bureau has called on on marketers of light-emitting diode (LED) signs to ensure that these lights comply with FCC rules. Since March of this year, the agency has entered into 21 settlement agreements with companies that marketed noncompliant LED signs in violation of the Communications Act and FCC rules. The settlements yielded approximately $850,000 in penalties, and commitments to ensure compliance with the law going forward. Adherence to the FCC's equipment authorization and marketing rules is critical because radio frequency emissions from the signs may cause harmful interference to licensed communications, such as wireless services, the FCC said.
"In light of these recent settlements, we remind LED sign marketers of their obligations under the law," said Enforcement Bureau Chief Rosemary Harold. "The FCC takes seriously its responsibility in ensuring that energy-emitting devices like LED lights do not interfere with authorized transmissions."
LED lights are often used in digital billboards and other commercial and industrial applications, including billboards and large video displays in sports arenas. Given the electrical design of these lights, they may emit RF energy. Prior to being marketed in the US, LED sign models must be tested and comply with FCC technical standards and must include the proper labeling, identification, and user information disclosures. The FCC Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) oversees the equipment authorization process for RF devices, including LED signs.
The Enforcement Bureau investigated hundreds of indoor and outdoor LED sign models and discovered repeated FCC rule violations concerning the failure to market the models with the required equipment authorizations, labeling, and user information disclosures. To settle its respective investigation, each company verified that the models at issue were brought into compliance with FCC rules, agreed to pay a monetary penalty, and committed to abide by a compliance plan to improve internal procedures to avoid future violations.
The Bureau has settled 21 investigations to date, with penalties as high as $115,000. Each settlement is available on the FCC Enforcement Bureau home page.

Rare Maud Island Frogs Hatched In New Zealand [ScienceDaily 2008-03-05]

ScienceDaily (Mar. 5, 2008) — What looks at first to be a slimy mess in a Petri dish represents a highly-significant advance in conservation and restoration ecology.
Ecologists from both the Sanctuary and Victoria are celebrating the arrival of the first Maud Island frogs (Leiopelma pakeka) to hatch on mainland New Zealand for many years.
Clustered together to conserve moisture, the 13 fingernail-sized baby froglets were recently transferred from the Karori Sanctuary to Victoria University where they will be incubated and later released as young frogs.
No larger than a human adult's little fingernail, the Maud Island froglets differ from most frog species in that they hatch from the egg as fully-formed froglets without going through the usual tadpole stage.
13 froglets in total were found during a recent audit of a specially-constructed frog research enclosure at Karori Sanctuary.
"Sixty frogs were released into the special mouse-proof enclosure in 2006 in an effort to re-establish this highly-endangered species on the mainland," Victoria Master's student Kerri Lukis says. Ms Lukis is studying the Sanctuary population for her Master's thesis under the supervision of Associate Professor Ben Bell, Director of the University's Centre for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration.
She says that thirty of frogs released in 2006 were later released outside of the enclosure so that the captive and wild populations could be compared. When it came time to find the frogs again to see how many frogs had survived and whether they had bred she was delighted to find the 13 froglets attached to adult males.
"This is extra special because Maud Island frogs have never been found breeding in their natural habitat before, and certainly not on the mainland.
"It's wonderful timing for 2008 - international Year of the Frog – and a Leap Year. It's rare to get a 'good news' story about frogs – every year around 35 species of frog become extinct and two of New Zealand's remaining native frog species are on the critical list."
While not the rarest species, the thimble-sized Maud Island frogs are nationally threatened. Like all of New Zealand's native frog species, they are endemic (found only here) and belong to the endemic genus Leiopelma.
They have evolved very little over the last 70 million years, resulting in some very distinctive features and behaviours. For example, they don't croak, live in water, have webbed feet, or go through a tadpole stage.
Associate Professor Ben Bell says the University and the Sanctuary have worked closely together on this project.
"It is good to know that the Karori Sanctuary frogs are able to breed in an enclosure there. Whether those frogs released into the wild in Karori survived and bred is less certain at present."

text: Results of diffusion tensor tractography for the pyramidal tract (PT) and the aberrant pyramidal tract (APT). (A) For the reconstruction of the PT, two regions of interest (ROIs) were placed on the posterior limb of the internal capsule and the PT area of the anterior medulla (portion of anterior blue color) on the color map. By contrast, for the reconstruction of the APT, three ROI were given on the posterior limb of the internal capsule, the PT area of the anterior medulla (portion of anterior blue color), and additional ROI was placed on the isolated APT area (behind the posterior transpontine fiber at the pontine level). (B) the PT and APT were constructed in the right hemisphere (red: the PT, yellow: the APT). The APT descended along the known pathway of the PT to the posterior limb of the internal capsule and then descended through the medial lemniscus from the midbrain to the pons (blue arrows). (C) The pathways of the PT and the APT are shown at the axial views (blue arrow: the APT was separated from the PT at the upper midbrain level, green arrow: the APT rejoined with the PT at the upper medulla level).

How to get feats in DnD 5e: a simple guide
Medieval Knight – Jousting. Castle Gniew. Poland.
When playing Dungeons & Dragons (DnD), you'll want to find all the possible ways to improve the power levels and capabilities of your character. There are many ways in which you can do this, and one of them, known as 'feats,' allows you to improve their abilities and roleplaying. This is an optional gameplay rule that is noted in the Player's Handbook.
How do you get feats in DnD 5e? There are multiple ways you can get feats throughout the game:
 - Have a Dungeon Master that allows them/plays house rules
 - Become a Variant Human at Level 1
 - Gain feats every time you have an ability score improvement
We will dive into the details of each of these options for using feats in DnD 5e and how they can help enhance gameplay with your character. Because this is an optional rule in the game, not all players use them, and your ability to do so will be largely based on your Dungeon Master and the rules they have established for the group.
Ways to Get Feats in DnD 5e
Feats can make your DnD experience more exciting by allowing your character to do things outside of their traditional abilities and roles. This is a feature in the game that can result in more combative and successful gameplay.
What Are Feats in DnD 5e?
According to the DnD Player's Handbook, a feat "represents a talent or an area of expertise that gives a character special capabilities. It embodies training, experience, and abilities beyond what a class provides." You can find this on page 165 in the Player's HandbookOpens in a new tab..
Feats give characters additional abilities that transcend their race or class. When a character has an ability to gain a feat, they are doing this instead of choosing a new feature or an ability score increase. Unlike features, different classes can access feats that are not specific to their race or class.
While features will enhance the abilities of your character, you may choose a feat instead because it provides additional advantages beyond the feature or ability increase score itself. They can lead to increased levels of customization that traditional features and traits cannot achieve.
How Can You Get Feats in DnD 5e?
There are multiple ways in which you can get feats in DnD 5e, and you may choose one path or another based on the type of character you want, the rules of the game, and your priorities in gameplay.
These are the different ways in which you can get feats in the game:
 1. Dungeon Master rules: Dungeons & Dragons is refereed and moderated by dungeon masters (DMs) that will set the rules for the players. The ability to use and gain feats within the game will be dictated by the DM, and you must make sure they include this optional rule in their game.
 If they are not allowing them (many will), you will have to stick to more traditional methods to increase your character's capabilities. If your DM plays specific house rules, they can just give all characters feats in the first level.
 2. Become a Variant Human: Characters typically are not allowed to use feats at Level 1 unless they are Variant Humans. You will gain a feat, but this only occurs with the creation of your character. If you are looking to build the power of your character, consider a Variant Human race when playing. This will depend on if your DM allows variant traits within your game.
 3. Ability Score Improvement: For all characters, there are key points at which you can gain feats, and this is whenever your character is eligible for an ability score increase. Instead of opting for an additional feature, you can choose a feat (which may give you more than the value of the feature). Ability score improvements occur at levels 4, 8, 12, 16, and 19 (at every 4 levels or when your character is eligible).
It is important to note that some feats will require specific prerequisites in order for your character to be eligible. If you do not qualify, you will not be able to take advantage of gaining the feat. If at any point, during the game, you no longer have the prerequisite, you will not be able to use the feat (even if you already have it).
Most feats are only designed to be taken advantage of once unless the feat specifies other rules. The Player's Handbook is the best place to find these specifics if your DM chooses to play with feats during the campaign.
Types of Feats in DnD 5e
There are a wide variety of feats that can allow you to customize your character in ways that go beyond the traditional features and ability increases that apply to your class or race. With this optional gameplay rule, your character's capabilities can improve substantially.
These are the major categories of feats and how they can help your character during play:
 - Combat Feats: These can be broken down even further into attacking and defensive, but they are all feats designed to assist your character in fighting or combat situations. These will give you additional weapons or shields (or expands their powers) in combative situations that you wouldn't have access to otherwise.
 - Roleplaying Feats: The most general and broad category of ability options, these feats can help to increase overall playing ability and character customization across a wide range of player attributes. Typically, these apply outside of fighting situations.
 - Health Feats: These feats are particularly helpful in keeping your character at full health. You may have the ability to heal yourself or others in combat or other threats posed to your well-being.
 - Spell Feats: As these suggest, they are related to magic and can be used in a variety of situations. Many of these feats have a prerequisite of being able to cast spells.
HereOpens in a new tab. you can find a useful list of the feats and their descriptions as well as rules associated with each of them. This can help you decide which feats will be helpful to your character and help them to excel in the game. It may be beneficial to review these feats before selecting your character to see which ones you would be best suited for.
Why Use Feats in DnD 5e?
If feats are an optional rule, why should you consider taking advantage of them? Well, they add another layer to the game. Many DMs allow them but ask players to incorporateOpens in a new tab. ones that fall into the storyline of their characters rather than using them solely to build power. Some DMs will not allow for specific feats but are perfectly fine with characters using others.
Feats can be a really cool addition to the rules set out by the DM because they enhance character abilities and customization and force players to make choices within the game. They enable the game to reach more exciting levels from a combat perspective as players have more tools in their arsenal for the character to use.
Feats usually offer more capabilities and powers than choosing features or increasing your character's ability score. You may receive all the benefits of a feature plus a bit more when you select a feat.
Getting Feats in DnD 5e
From the perspective of the player, getting feats can make your character more dynamic during play. For DMs, allowing feats offers more options and possibilities for players, which can make the overall atmosphere more engaging! Make sure you check in with your DM to see if feats are allowed and then strategize at power-ups to take advantage of their unique possibilities.

Skills Strategy Implementation Guidance for Slovenia
Improving the Governance of Adult Learning
image of Skills Strategy Implementation Guidance for Slovenia
A well-coordinated adult learning system will be essential to support the achievement of Slovenia's long-term development goals. The transformational effects of globalisation, technological progress and demographic change on life at work and outside of it amplify the importance of getting adults' skills right.
OECD research shows that individuals, employers and society benefit from adults having higher levels of skills. Slovenia has achieved significant improvements in student performance and tertiary attainment in recent decades. Yet today, many adults in Slovenia have only low levels of basic skills. Participation in adult learning remains below Slovenia's targets, especially for low-skilled, unemployed and older adults, and workers in small businesses. Against the backdrop of a growing economy and awareness about the importance of skills, Slovenia's government, social partners and stakeholders have a unique opportunity to improve how they share responsibility and work together in the adult learning system.
This report outlines how Slovenia can strengthen the enabling conditions for co-operation, co-operation between specific actors (ministries, municipalities and stakeholders), and co-operation on specific challenges (promotion and financing). It recommends eight actions that government, social partners and stakeholders can take to strengthen co-ordination and co-operation, in order to improve participation, outcomes and cost-effectiveness in adult learning.
Priority challenges in adult learning requiring co-operation
In Slovenia, as in other OECD countries, two complex challenges facing the adult-learning system are: motivating more adults to learn and appropriately funding adult learning effectively and efficiently. Having strengthened the "enabling conditions" for co-operation (Chapter 2) and improved co-operation between specific actors (Chapter 3), Slovenia should take a more co-ordinated approach to addressing these two challenges as a priority. This chapter presents each of these priority areas in turn with 1) an overview of the current arrangements, roles and responsibilities; 2) a discussion of the opportunities for improvement; 3) examples of good practice from Slovenia and abroad; and 4) recommended actions to better address these two challenges, in order to boost adults' learning and skills.

It's hard to find a person who isn't attracted to the glittery fun of sparklers. These crackling sticks of fire are among the most sold fireworks on our website and the central entertainment of many events from Bonfire Night to New Year's Eve.
We've looked at the science behind the traditional types of fireworks, but what about sparklers? Here's a look at what sparklers are made of and the manufacturing process that gives them the unique and entertaining look.
What Are Sparklers Made Of?
Sparklers are essentially made by using three chemical components: a metal fuel, an oxidiser and a binder. It's also possible to add certain other elements to sparklers in order to enhance the effects or change colours, for example, but the three components are the building blocks of sparklers.
The Metal Fuel
This specific firework is typically made from a metal wire, which is then coated from one end with a mixture of the metal fuel, the oxidiser and the binder. The most commonly used wire is made of iron, which can then be coated in typically four different fuel chemicals:
- Aluminium & magnesium – light yellow/white glow
- Iron – red glow
- Titanium – silver/white glow
- Ferrotitanium – a golden glow
The above four are the most common colours you see on sparklers. But you can add other chemicals to this metal fuel to give it alternative range of colours. For example, certain salts can create different greens, reds and blues.
You can find out more on the firework colours from our previous post.
The oxidisers in sparklers have a crucial role. When the oxidisers are heated as the metal fuel starts burning, they began to decompose and this creates oxygen and other gasses.
In short, the oxidiser ensures the sparkler has the effect and doesn't just end up looking like burning metal. The process is behind the little sparklers jumping around the wire creating the crackling look.
The most commonly used oxidisers include metal nitrates, chlorates or perchlorates, and potassium nitrate.
The final component helps keep the other two components together. Since both the fuel and the oxidisers are simply chemicals in a paste-like form, the binder ensures they stick together and to the wire.
There are different chemicals, which can act as a binder, but the most commonly used is dextrin.In addition, the binder and the above two components are mixed with some water to make the paste smooth and easily applicable on the wire.
Interestingly, some forms of dextrin are also found on foods and are used for medicinal purposes!
Creating the Sparklers
Constructing the sparklers is quite a simple task and mostly automated, unlike fireworks. It starts with a machine cutting the metal wires to a desired length – as you might know there are all sorts of sparklers from long to small.
The wires are then moved along by the machine and place in a position where the mixture of the above chemical components is applied on the wires. The wires are dipped from one end to the paste mixture and allowed to set for a moment. They'll then be dipped a second time to insure the paste is strong enough for the effect to work.
The sparklers will be allowed to dry fully; often up to a week to ensure the quality is good. They will then be packed and sent off to the retailer. Then it's up to you to enjoy using them at your parties and events!

Two tarantulas may be on the loose in a village after three of their babies were found abandoned in a car park.
The RSPCA said it had rescued the baby Brazilian bird-eating spiders after they were found discarded in pots in Derbyshire.
Inspectors said the containers were run over by a vehicle in the village of Somercotes but the driver believes he saw two "larger spiders" possibly the parents – scuttling away.
The tarantula is thought to be the Brazilian salmon pink bird-eater, one of the world's largest of the species with a leg span of up to 25cm.
The spiders are partially pink and usually live on the forest floor in Brazil and eat insects, lizards, mice and the occasional small bird.
Experts said the missing tarantulas may not survive long in English weather. Yet the unseasonably warm climate has led to concerns they may roam for longer than expected.
Kristy Ludlam, an RSPCA inspector, said an "understandably shaken" woman had found the baby spiders in Bateman's Yard livery stable's car park in Somercotes last Thursday and contacted the RSPCA as she is terrified of them.
"It appears someone ran over two of the pots and the driver told the woman who called us he thought he saw two larger spiders. No bodies were found, so it is assumed they may have escaped," she said.
"We collected all the pots and took them to a specialist who found three baby arachnids in them, which he believes are bird-eating spiders – when he opened one pot a spider ran up his arm.
"He is keeping all the pots warm and secure as there is a possibility more eggs may hatch."
It is an offence under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act to release or allow any non-native species to escape into the wild.
The owner of a nearby kennels and cattery said she was very worried. "Two of the workers ran around the kennels screaming when they heard the news," said Sarah Towndrow from Birchwood boarding kennels and cattery in Birchwood Lane, near where the pots were found.
"We are getting a vet out so they can take a good look and advise us on what we need to do. We're also all going to be searching the area to make sure they're not here and then report it if they're here.
"They could cause real harm to the animals here, so we will be keeping a very close eye on them. There's a lot of places they could hide and keep out of the way so the search will be very thorough. People feel frightened and it makes the animals vulnerable."
The rescued spiders have been taken to Arnold and Carlton veterinary centre in Nottingham where they will be cared for until they are ready to be rehomed, the RSPCA said.

Home > Articles > How Cops can Stay 'Left of Bang' in a Critical Incident
"Left of bang" is a concept (and a book by Patrick Van Horne and Jason Riley) which can be described as a timeline. It's the time before a critical incident can no longer be contained. As soon as the IED goes off, the shot is fired, or the crash takes place, you are at bang. "Right of bang" is where police officers do not want to be. Left of bang is about situational awareness and keeping things from getting to bang.
I have recommended Gavin de Becker's book The Gift of Fear to cops and civilians for years and now must recommend Left of Bang as a companion book. The more training and experience people have in developing situational awareness, the better adept they are at staying left of bang. Here are some key ways cops can stay left of bang.
1. Treat people with respect
2. Use contact/cover and backup
3. Sharpen your situational awareness
4. Remember "Ask, Tell, Make"
5. Prepare to use force without hesitation or fear

Rituals and religion help footballers cope
Superstitions can help footballers control their anxiety before a game. That is the finding of research presented at the British Psychology Society Annual Conference, held at the Grand Connaught Rooms, London this week.
Patrick Ofori from the University of Stirling interviewed 10 members of the Ghana team taking part in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa about their superstitions and religious experiences. These included both formal religious rituals and individual superstitions like a lucky mascot
Comments from the players included, "My prayers give me self-belief in my abilities and confidence to play without fear", and "I feel really good any time that I do them and am able to play well too."
The interviews were transcribed and then analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. This is a technique for discovering how individuals make sense of their personal and social worlds.The analysis of the transcripts revealed that superstitious and religious rituals can be helpful or unhelpful to players depending how they are learned.
Patrick Ofori commented: "Coaches and psychologists should encourage athletes to own their rituals and integrate them into their wider coping strategies, because our findings suggest that superstitions and religious rituals can help immunise elite footballers against anxiety. They seem to increase their self-confidence and make them feel more in control of events too."

text: Biogeochemical cycling of internal bioavailable organic phosphorus (OP) is an important source for algal bloom after exogenous P inputs are controlled. Biogeochemical cycling may be affected by hydrological processes and the water cycle and eventually result in water quality deterioration and accelerated lake eutrophication. Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China. The hydrological condition of the lake has significantly changed since 2003, thereby causing a continuous decline in water level. In this study, sediments were obtained from different elevations and different hydrological conditions in Poyang Lake. The sediments were subjected to sequential extraction and enzymatic hydrolysis to determine the transformation of OP into various chemical forms, their bioavailability, and the exchange between the sediments and overlying water. Results suggested that the descending water level caused by the changes in hydrological conditions was one of the major factors affecting OP dynamics. Long exposure of sediments resulted in high OP content and increased availability. The increased OP content in exposed sediments was primarily derived from H2O-Po and NaOH-EDTA-Po. Moreover, the increased OP availability in exposed sediments was mainly attributed to the increasing amount of orthophosphate caused by processes governing sediment exposure, promotion of OP release, and transformation of chemical forms from nonlabile to labile. Sediment exposure time and area have considerably expanded since 2003; hence, the amounts of OP and orthophosphate in the sediments have increased by as much as 600 and 120 tons in the lake every year, respectively. Although the increase in orthophosphate only accounted for 6% of the external total phosphorus, the local region may exhibit higher risk for OP release from the sediments, thereby accelerating quality deterioration. Therefore, maintaining reasonable hydrological conditions is important to protect Poyang Lake water.

01244 area code is representative of a certain physical area in the UK. Are you interested in knowing the details of this area code and the area it represents? Or do you want to know the details of the cost of this phone code?
Keep reading to get your answers and learn more about the 01244 area code. You can also avail of a 01244 area code whenever you want.
Part 1: Where Is 01244 Area Code?
The geographic number 01244 of the UK represents the area of Chester and its neighboring locations. The outskirts, including towns and villages, having 01244 area code include:
|Ashton Hayes||Broughton||Buckley||Connah's Quay||Dodleston|
The 01244 area-code emerged as the need for the time due to the depletion of the original area code of Chester. This depletion was the result of an immense number of devices using phone-lines including fax machines and direct dial-in lines.
Therefore for the solution of this immense shortage, Ofcom came up with a new number system for Chester. This new number was based on a 4-digit area code, introduced in 1995 during the PhONEday.
Moreover, the area code 01244 was introduced by adding 1 to the previous area code of Chester city. Thus the new area code pattern for Chester city is (01XXX) XXXXXX which previously used to be (0XXX) XXXXXX.
However, the area-code 01244 is considered as a 4 digit number since the trunk digit 0 is not counted-in theoretically. The local phone numbers for this area are 6-digit based numbers.
On the other hand, there are some areas that have 5-digit phone numbers and use the 01244 area code. But these areas are very few in number.
Part 2: Dialing 01244 Area Code in the UK
The dialing protocol for the 01244 area-code from within the UK includes dialing the trunk 0 which is eliminated theoretically. When making calls from within the UK, the caller only needs to dial the area code i.e. 01244.
Following this comes the local phone number which is 6-digit based. However, a person calling from within the same area don't need to dial the area code.
Part 3: Dialing 01244 Area Code Outside of the UK
The procedure that one must follow while calling 01244 area from outside the UK differs from within the UK calls. The steps for this task include:
- Dialing the international access code. This varies from country to country, some are listed next:
|Country/Region||International Access Code|
- Entering the country code for the UK which is (44).
- Dialing the local area code for Chester which is 01244. However, for international calls, trunk digit 0 is not dialed.
- Entering the local phone number.
If someone calls from Australia, the complete dialup looks like 0011 44 1244 XXX XXX.
Part 4: The Cost of Calling a 01244 Number
The general rates for calling the geographic numbers of the UK are the same as the local call rates. However, different network providers tend to offer different packages along with offers to call these numbers.
Likewise, the calling costs for the 01244 area code are the same as the local rates. However, there is a difference between the landline-rates and the mobile-rates. When calling from a landline, the call charges range from 2p per minute to 10p per minute.
While the calls from mobile phones cost from 10p per minute to 40p per minute. Most landline operators have call-packages offers for their users allowing them free calls for some specific hours of the day.
Similarly, the mobile phone network providers offer different monthly and weekly packages to the consumers. These allow the callers to make calls free of charge for a certain amount of minutes whenever they want.
They also provide their customers with benefits like top-up credit.
However, with all the perks that the callers get when calling these numbers, some network providers demand additional charges too. These additional charges are in the form of a setup fee which doesn't depend on the duration of the call.
The 01244 geographic area code of the UK represents Chester city and its suburbs. This area code emerged as the need of the time and is now widely used. The calling rates for the 01244 area code are more or less equal to the local rates.

Impact of climate variation on agricultural productivity and food security in rural India
food security index (FSI)
food grain and non-food grain productivity
value of production
Full recordShow full item record
AbstractThis research paper analyzes the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity in quantity terms, value of production in monetary terms and food security in India. The study undertook state wise analysis based on secondary data for the duration of 1980 to 2009. Climate variation affects food grain and non-food grain productivity and both these factors along with other socioeconomic and government policy variables affect food security. Food security and poverty are interlinked with each other as cause and effect and vice versa, particularly, for a largely agrarian economy of India. Regression results for models proposed in this study show that for most of the food grain crops, non-food grain crops in quantity produced per unit of land and in terms of value of production climate variation cause negative impact. The adverse impact of climate change on the value of agricultural production and food grains indicates food security threat to small and marginal farming households. The state wise food security index was also generated in this study; and econometric model estimation reveals that the food security index itself also gets adversely affected due to climatic fluctuations.

How Do Wolves Hunt? 6 Impressive Strategies They Use

Social, cunning, and perseverant, wolves employ several strategies when tracking, pursuing, and taking down their prey. Capable of both group and solitary hunts, wolves are opportunistic predators, maintaining flexibility to capture a range of targets. So, how do wolves hunt, and what strategies do these impressive animals use?
Read on to find out!
1. How Do Wolves Hunt: In Cooperation
Wolves are highly social animals, living together in familial packs. They also hunt in collaboration and, in doing so, can take down prey much larger than an individual wolf. Wolves communicate primarily through body language and vocalizations to coordinate their hunts. When spread out over long distances, wolves will howl back and forth to communicate their locations to each other. This information is vital when driving a herd toward favorable hunting environments.
One study found that the pack size could affect the hunt's success depending on the hunted species. A study observing Yellowstone wolf packs found that 2-6 wolves represented the highest success rate for elk hunts, with success tapering off after six wolves. The theory is that the hunt becomes disjointed with smaller prey when the pack number becomes too large. However, researchers found that 9-13 wolves had the best success in pursuing and taking down this much larger and more difficult prey for bison hunts.
When hunting larger prey, such as ungulates, wolves rely on pack cooperation.
2. Prey Testing
When approaching a herd of elk, for example, wolves will perform what is known as prey testing. They will work together to detect any vulnerabilities or weaknesses in an individual in the herd. They do so by pursuing the herd and singling out the weakest member. This individual may be very young, old, sick, or injured. As endurance hunters, wolves can chase their prey over several miles while they work to isolate their target.
To determine the best target among a herd, wolves will work together to test their prey, singling out weakened individuals.
3. How Do Wolves Hunt: Tracking
Not only are wolves endurance hunters that will chase prey for miles, but they will also track their prey for days before beginning active pursuit. During the tracking part of their hunt, wolves will assess for weaknesses and look for terrain that favors the pack in a hunt. If they are hunting elk, for example, they know to attempt to drive the herd away from open-plan environments. Instead, they may try to drive them into wooded areas or through heavy snow.

Wolves excel at tracking prey over long distances, allowing them to assess potential targets and drive them to favorable hunting terrain.
4. Herding
The lean, swift females of the pack often take on the role of herder, controlling the direction of the prey, preventing escape, and causing confusion by darting in and out of the herd. The larger, more powerful wolves typically stay in the rear, ready to take down an animal struggling to evade the herding pressures.
5. How Do Wolves Hunt: Ambushing
While wolves tend to hunt in packs through endurance strategies and pack cooperation, they also use ambush strategies. Wolves hunting alone or targeting certain prey may use concealment and sudden attack to capture their meal. From late spring through early fall, wolves hunt smaller game alone or in reduced groups. In a 2018 study, researchers proved that wolves use ambush strategies when hunting beavers. Previous studies have suggested that wolves use ambush strategies to hunt beavers, but the 2018 study provided the first video-recorded confirmation. The recording confirmed that wolves employ three components in hunting beavers: waiting near areas inhabited by beavers, concealing themselves, and immediately attacking a beaver approaching within striking distance.
6. Deliver Debilitating Wounds
When hunting larger prey, wolves are typically unable to kill their prey immediately. Instead, they must deliver debilitating wounds to stop the animal from fleeing or fighting back. The attack is the most dangerous part for the wolves, especially when targeting large, powerful animals such as bison. One kick or gouge of the horns from a bison can kill or severely injure a wolf. To best protect themselves, wolves typically attack the sides or neck of the animal, aiming to avoid horns and legs. Once a wolf latches on, the others immediately join in to bring down large and powerful prey.

Concrete Examples of Orderings
Last week, I noted that if you have an object with two components, each of which you know how to order independently, it requires at least a little thought to figure out how to do so. Moreover, there is a commonly used strategy, often called lexicographical order or dictionary order, for taking the ordering strategies for individual components and combining them.
The C++ library is considerate enough to implement dictionary ordering for its users in (at least) three places. The first is the
std::pair template, which defines the six comparison operators in terms of the corresponding operators of the pair's components. Specifically,
pair(x1, y1) < pair(x2, y2) is defined as x1 or ==. Part of its technique for doing so rests on the fact that the comparison x2 < x1 can take place only when it has already been established that x1 pair(x2, y2) is defined as pair(x2, y2) < pair(x1, y1) pair(x1, y1)!= pair(x2, y2) is defined as!(pair(x1, y1) == pair(x2, y2)) pair(x1, y1) <= pair(x2, y2) is defined as!(pair(x1, y1) > pair(x2, y2)) pair(x1, y1) >= pair(x2, y2) is defined as!(pair(x1, y1)< pair(x2, y2))
The underlying principles are easy to understand once explained:
- The pair template never depends on more than the == and < operations on the components.
- Order relations are defined entirely in terms of other order relations.
- Equality relations are defined entirely in terms of other equality relations.
- If the element types have relations defined that meet the library requirements, then the resulting relations on pairs will also meet the library requirements.
As a generalization of
pair, the library tuple template also implements the six comparison operators in terms of < and == on the
tuple's elements. Like
tuple does not reply on the other four comparison operators on elements.
The third place where the library implements dictionary order is in the
lexicographical_compare algorithm. This algorithm accepts two pairs of iterators, each of which defines a range of elements, and uses an extended version of this comparison procedure to compare the sequences:
- If both sequences have the same length and every element is equal to the corresponding element of the other sequence, the two sequences are considered equal. This case holds even if both sequences are empty.
- If one sequence is a prefix of the other, the shorter sequence is considered less than the other.
- Otherwise, the result of the comparison is the result of comparing the elements that make up the first discrepancy between the sequences.
This function offers an easy way to define sequence comparison in terms of element comparison when all the elements have the same type.
Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, one's first thought about how to define comparison between two data structures should probably be to compare the data structure's elements along the lines that we've been discussing. The main mistake that beginners make is to believe that it is possible to define
pair(x1, y1) < pair(x2, y2) as something such as
x1 < x2 && y1 < y2, which doesn't work.
There is another pitfall in defining comparison relations: Sometimes the obvious way of comparing individual elements doesn't always work. We'll look at some examples of that pitfall next week.

Hillary Maddin wanted to look inside the heads of animals as they grow to adulthood, so she found a unique method: Grafting glow-in-the-dark pieces into them when they are young.
Maddin is a paleontologist at Carleton University who was testing whether salamanders are primitive creatures similar to animal life many millions of years ago. (Short answer: No. More on that in a minute.)
tap here to see other videos from our team.
She bought them from a breeder in Kentucky.
The species is called a Mexican axolotl, and it's normally pale beige. She breeds normal salamanders with green fluorescent ones, obtaining half normal and half green offspring.
The lab-modified axolotls have a gene that produces GFP (green fluorescent protein) which comes originally from a jellyfish that contains it naturally. The salamander's resulting glow is mostly visible under ultraviolet light.
Once the gene for GFP is in a salamander, its cells continue to glow for life. And Maddin can extract one piece of a glowing salamander and graft it into a non-glowing salamander.
