The Isle of Man Green Party has said extraction of gas from the Manx seabed would be 'incompatible' with the island's Climate Change Act and the Paris Climate Agreement.
In a statement, the party has called on the gov to stop the exploration process at the end of the four month extension granted to Crogga to allow it to complete surveys.
The party said that it had written to CoMin asking ministers not to extend Crogga's licence, which was due to expire on December 31 2021.
It said: 'In the knowledge that Phase B of the licence awarded to Crogga in 2018 to explore for fossil fuels in the Isle of Man seabed was coming to an end at the end of 2021, and it being understood that if certain obligations had not been met by Crogga the licence would expire and automatically cease, the Green Party wrote on December 14 2021 to each Minister of the Council of Ministers, including the Chief Minister, setting out cogent reasons why the licence should not be extended.
'The Green Party's letter set out the realities of how climate change is impacting the Isle of Man, including the increasing prevalence of droughts, extreme rainfall, and erosion from a more volatile and expanding Irish sea. It is clearly stated by the relevant science that extreme climate change in the Isle of Man and elsewhere is being caused by carbon emissions, that the consequences of the same will be hugely damaging to our community and communities globally, and that we must urgently decarbonise and transition to renewable forms of energy. Gas is a high carbon fuel that is contributing to extreme climate change; accordingly, the Government should be introducing policies to reduce its use in order to protect our island community.'
In the letter, which can be seen below, the party said that any extensions would be 'in direct contradiction to the Government's commitments, amongst other things, in respect of the United Nations Paris Agreement, to undertake efforts to keep global heating to 1.5°C, and the Government's climate change duties pursuant to the Climate Change Act 2021'.
They said that after the extension was granted, they wrote to DoI Minister Tim Crookall asking for an explanation, but that they had not received a response.
Its statement added: 'Given the promises of action that emanated from the members of this Government in the 2021 election, the Green Party hopes that the Government will now take decisive action to end the licence in its entirety upon the expiry of the extension, and immediately commence the much needed investment in renewable energy.'

Regulating groundwater levels in Schönebeck
Evaluating possible measures of regulating groundwater levels in Schönebeck.
When changes to a city's drinking water supply are made without regard for possible repercussions, it can have widespread, negative impacts on the entire urban area. However, with knowledgeable groundwater management and regulation measures, it is possible to prevent many subsequent and unsuitable issues such as flooding and degradation of water quality. The town of Schönebeck in Germany experienced various challenges with regard to their groundwater, including increasing water levels, causing water logging and urban flooding. DHI-WASY was contracted by University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg-Stendal to find the best possible measure of regulating groundwater levels. Using detailed analyses, they found dewatering wells to be the best possible solution to the town's challenges.

Stephen King, arguably the godfather of modern day horror literature, has written a Batman story about an altercation with the caped crusader's most loyal sidekick, Robin.
The story premiered on NPR's newest podcast, Too Hot for Radio, and was read by guest actor Stephen Lang (Avatar, Public Enemies) and followed up by an interview from host Aparna Nancherla with Stephen King expert, Stu Tinker. The story, which can be heard below, starts around the 5:30 mark.
The short story originally appeared in the 2012 issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine and was included in King's collection of shorts, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams. The story follows a son and his father, who is suffering from Alzheimers, as they try to recall moments from their past. All his father can remember, however, is the time that they dressed up as Batman and Robin for Halloween and the events surrounding that night.
King has been a longtime Batman fan, penning an essay about why he always felt a kinship for the character over other superheroes, and has talked endlessly about the vigilante's plight and his history in the comic book realm. What King liked most about Batman was that he was "just a guy," as he wrote in his essay, and as such, was just as mortal as the people reading his story.
There are elements of Batman's character woven into the short story, and the interview with Tinker following the story provides a little more insight into the character's use within King's story.
Too Hot for Radio is a weekly podcast on NPR that looks at fictional short stories from some of the most successful and prolific authors to date.

Toy: City Of Circle
Architecture In Play
The toy "City of Circle" is the abstracted construction of a city.
Upon the bowl-like plywood base as the landscape, the toy provided an open-ended game: leveled or tilted, higher or wider, the children as a group can always find a way of interpreting the process of building.
The basic units of the toy are dual 2" cylinders. Each pair of cylinders are connected by colorful canvas, which could be rotated within 270 degree to accommodate different angles across the landscape. Positioned by rounded 3/4" dowels, the toy could be constructed via stacking.

Separation of music signal sources by NMF based on preservation of spectrum envelope
- Other Title
Search this article
This paper proposes the method to separate polyphonic music signal into signals of each musical instrument by NMF: Non-negative Matrix Factorization based on preservation of spectrum envelope. Our method bases on a common feature of harmonic signal: spectrum envelopes of musical signal in close pitches played by the harmonic music instrument would be similar. We estimate power spectrums of each instrument by NMF with restriction to synchronize spectrum envelope of bases which are allocated to all possible center frequencies of each instrument. This manipulation means separation of components which refers to tones of each instrument and realizes both of separation without pre-training and separation of signal including harmonic and non-harmonic sound. We had an experiment to decompose mixture sound signal of MIDI instruments into each instrument and evaluated the result by SNR of single MIDI instrument sound signals and separated signals. As a result, SNR of lead guitar and drums approximately marked 3.6 and 6.0 dB and showed significance of our method.

A British Supermarket Successfully Sent a Chicken Nugget to Space
While many strange things have been sent up to space, from cookie dough to toilets worth millions of dollars, this is the first time fast food found its way to orbit. According to the media, the British supermarket chain Iceland Foods Ltd was able to launch a chicken nugget all the way up to space on October 13. The supermarket did the stunt as a way to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
According to Andrew Staniland, the chain's trading director, 2020 was a huge year for the Iceland Foods supermarkets, and they wanted to mark the occasion in a special way. He added that this was the best way for the chain to show that their products were indeed out of this world. The company sent a chicken nugget because it was one of its customers' favorite products.
 "Sent Into Space" Helped Get the Chicken Nugget Out of the Atmosphere
Chicken nugget in spaceIceland Foods teamed up with Sent Into Space to organize the launch and ensure it would be a complete success. The chicken nugget was taken to a predetermined launch site in Wales, where it was tied to a gas-filled weather balloon and released to go to Near Space. It reached an altitude of about 110,000 feet or 20.7 miles, and the media reported it traveled at about 200 mph.
When the nugget was at its highest point into space, the distance was enough to fit around 880,000 chicken nuggets. The nugget made it to Near Space easily and stayed in that area for a while. Scientists refer to Near Space when talking about the space between Earth's atmosphere and Outer Space. It starts at twelve miles above sea level and ends at around 62 miles.
The Chicken Nugget Floated in Space for About an Hour
The chicken nugget after one hour in space
Once the chicken nugget was in Near Space, it stayed there for about an hour and then started descending back to earth. Its fall had to be slowed down by a parachute, and the landing was also a success. Because the nugget was frozen when it was launched, it showed itself to be indifferent to the very low temperatures of space.


How Do Farmers Know If A Chicken Egg Is Fertilized?
Can you decrow a rooster?
I found that hatchets decrow roosters very well.
Some people have a rooster box for their roos to keep them quit.
Even if they crow it is not as loud, you could make one from a tote from wallmart.
Just make sure you put plenty of air holes at the bottom and a few at the top on one side..
Are eggs a chickens period?
Although chickens do not menstruate (and thus their eggs are not "chicken periods" as is sometimes asserted), the cycle of creating and passing much larger eggs relative to their body size and weight is arguably even more physically taxing, especially in modern hens who have been bred to produce such unnaturally high …
Can you eat a fertilized chicken egg?
The answer is yes. It is perfectly okay to eat fertilized eggs. Also, as mentioned in the previous paragraphs, once the fertilized egg is stored inside the fridge, the embryo no longer undergoes any change or development. Rest assured that you can eat your fertilized chicken eggs just fine like the unfertilized ones.
Can 2 roosters live together?
How many fertilized eggs does a hen lay?
The semen can be viable for up to two weeks in the SST, so if a hen is in that productive phase of her life where she is laying 1 egg per day, then the single copulation could produce up to 14 fertile eggs.
How long does a rooster have to be with a hen before the eggs are fertile?
two to three weeksWhen a hen has laid at least two infertile eggs in a row, you can be pretty sure her SSTs are clear of sperm. Many chicken keepers, to assure fertile eggs are from the desired mating, simply put the hen and rooster together, then wait two to three weeks before collecting the eggs for hatching.
Do Roosters have balls?
Rooster Testicles They've got two bean-shaped testes located against their backbone in front of the kidneys. Rooster testicles vary in size based on their age and time of year. If you butcher a rooster in the winter his testicles will be smaller than during the spring mating season, when they swell up considerably.
Do chickens have periods?
Birds, however, don't have a uterus, which means they also have no uterine lining and, of course then, no ritual shedding of this lining. Ergo, they have no period.
Why do supermarket eggs not hatch?
Eggs you buy from a supermarket aren't fertilized, so they will never hatch. … The hen will still lay eggs whether they have been fertilized by the rooster or not. Eggs that have been fertilized will develop into a baby chick and hatch.
Are supermarket eggs Fertilised?
Most eggs sold commercially in the grocery store are from poultry farms and have not been fertilized. … Given the right nutrients, hens will lay eggs with or without having been in the presence of a rooster. For an egg to become fertilized, a hen and rooster must mate prior to the formation and laying of the egg.
Why do chickens run before mating?
A hen runs because she doesn't want to be mated. The rooster doesn't care about what the hen wants; he'll chase her down, hold her down, and mate her whether she wants to or not. Chickens don't think of things in human terms, but if they did, you'd say there was a lot of rape in a chicken flock.
How many times does a rooster need to fertilize a hen?
Does a rooster fertilize every egg?
You don't need a rooster for your hens to lay eggs, as hens will lay just as many eggs whether there's a rooster around or not. However, a rooster is needed to fertilize the eggs to hatch them into baby chicks.
How do you hatch a supermarket egg without an incubator?
How to Give an Egg Heat Without an IncubatorPlace an egg underneath or slightly near a hen inside the nest.The hen will instinctively roll eggs in her nest under her body.Eggs will receive heat naturally and then the hens adopt the hatchling.Place a medium-sized towel in a cardboard shoe box.Set the egg in the middle of the towel.More items…
How does a rooster fertilize the eggs?
The rooster jumps on the hen and breeds her and the egg gets fertilized inside the hen before she lays it. … If there is a rooster with the hen the eggs she lays will be fertile, and if she sits on the fertile eggs for 21 days they will hatch into baby chickens.
Why do roosters die after mating?
These dads die after devoting all their resources and energy to mating, an effort that helps their sperm—and genes—win out. Since the 1970s, scientists have suspected that females synchronize mating so that they wean their young at the same time that insect abundance peaks each year.
Are hens happier with a rooster?

Process Intensification Techniques for Continuous Spherical Crystallization in an Oscillatory Baffled Crystallizer with Online Process Monitoring
Guided by the continuous manufacturing paradigm shift in the pharmaceutical industry, the proposed thesis focuses on the implementation of an integrated continuous crystallization platform, the oscillatory baffled crystallizer (OBC), with real time process monitoring. First, by defining an appropriate operating regime with residence time distribution (RTD) measurements, a system can be defined that allows for plug flow operation while also maintaining solid suspension in a two-phase system. The aim of modern crystallization processes, narrow crystal size distributions (CSDs), is a direct result of narrow RTDs. Using a USB microscope camera and principal component analysis (PCA) in pulse tracer experiments, a novel non-contact RTD measurement method was developed using methylene blue. After defining an operating region, this work focuses on a specific process intensification technique, namely spherical crystallization.
Used mainly to tailor the size of a final dosage form, spherical crystallization removes the need for downstream size-control based unit operations (grinding, milling, and granulation), while maintaining drug efficacy by tailoring the size of the primary crystals in the agglomerate. The approach for generating spherical agglomerates is evaluated for both small and large molecules, as there are major distinctions in process kinetics and mechanisms. To monitor the spherical agglomeration process, a variety of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tools were used and the data was implemented for scale-up applications.
Lastly, a compartmental model was designed based on the experimental RTD data with the intention of predicting OBC mixing and scale-up dynamics. Together, with validation from both the DN6 and DN15 systems, a scale independent equation was developed to predict system dispersion at different mixing conditions. Although it accurately predicts the behavior of these two OBC systems, additional OBC systems of different scale, but similar geometry should be tested for validation purposes.

The last Land Rover Defender has rolled off the production line in Solihull marking the end of 67 years of production. Since 1948 more than two million of the 4x4s have been produced, making it the longest continuous production of a vehicle in the world, surpassing the VW Beetle.
The iconic vehicle was originally conceived as a hardy and reliable "go anywhere" option, "for the farmer, the countryman and general industrial use". The Defender truly lives up to this marketing tag line, with Land Rover estimating that up to 70% of all Defenders still around on the roads today.
Quintessentially British, the defender has changed very little since its birth in 1948. Used by the Churchill, James Bond and the Queen who has been frequently photographed driving one, it is a bastion of days gone by, conjuring up nostalgic memories.
The Defender has faithfully served so many, being used by British troops in Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan, making it through snowdrifts when no one else could, by explorers across Africa and the Americas and by the wealthy London families.
In recent years though the popularity of the faithful Defender has waned, with EU legislation and technology putting a strain on the old design. In 2007 the backwards-facing seats were banned and increasingly tighter environmental legislation and safety standards have forced Land Rover to cease production.
Jaguar Land Rover however, has announced a new Defender, although when or where it will be made have yet to be confirmed. Predictions of this new vehicle also vary, with many believing the new model won't be the utilitarian workhorse but more likely more of a passenger vehicle.
Whilst it is the end of production for the Land Rover Defender, it certainly isn't the complete end for the Defender. With the production and supply of parts for 15 years and the Defenders unrelenting ability to keep going we are sure to be seeing this British icon on our roads for decades to come.

Beautiful arrays ICPC16B-Can some one say what is wrong with my code..i get a correct answer in other compilers..but code chef gives wrong answer..PLS HELP!
using namespace std;
int main()
int i,g,n,noe;
int* arr=NULL;
int* k=NULL;
cin >> n;
int flag=0;
int car=noe-1;
arr = new int[noe];
k= new int[car];
flag= ++flag;
if(flag == car)
return 0;
Your code gives a "Yes" for the following test case but it should not give a "Yes".
Test Case:
2 0 3
in both the above cases the number is beautiful because the answer is one of the multiplicands right…Is that the case?An array a is called beautiful if for every pair of numbers ai, aj, (i ≠ j), there exists an ak such that ak = ai * aj. Note that k can be equal to i or j too.Here 1st pair ai =2,aj=0;2nd pair-ai=0,aj=3…Can you please tell what i understood is right or wrong?
Please include the test cases with the explanation…
Hey _USER_,
I think your approach is wrong.
For every value of Ak = Ai*Aj exist, then it's for sure that a number greater than can be only one. If we have more than one number greater than one, so for that to happen we have to create a chain of never ending sequence.
assume 1,2,3
than to if 2 and 3 are present than 6 must also be present, if 6 is there than 12 and 18 should also be there and so on.
Now condition's are only on 1 and -1. I want to you to figure it out yourself by making some test cases. If aren't able to figure out than I'll try to help you out.
You can also see this Code. for better explaination.
Hope this helps!
Thank you, Mr.Sandeep.I understood the concept after having working out your code…I understood your code better! but can you please do some corrections in my code which is posted above to get the result because I want to know that the array method which I have used is working or not!If possible pls can you do that?If you are busy don't need
your welcome, _USER_
if you feel, your question is being answered than a gentle request to accept the answer so that this question can be removed from an unanswered question list.
Oh, i am sorry!


If
If( cond_expr, true_expr, false_expr )
If( cond_expr, true_expr, false_expr )
If( cond_expr, true_expr, false_expr )
If( cond_expr, true_expr, false_expr )
if_( cond_expr, true_expr, false_expr )
If( cond_expr, true_expr, false_expr )
Description
The If function evaluates and returns the true_expr or false_expr expression, depending on the value of the cond expression. If the cond expression evaluates to anything other than a Boolean, If returns an "invalid argument" error.
Any valid Fauna Query Language expression is acceptable, including null.
The If function requires three parameters, and using them is equivalent to if-then-else. This means that you cannot use If to express if-then logic. Instead, you might find the Filter function useful, as it could be used to remove documents from consideration, in bulk, that might otherwise require If logic.
Parameters
Argument Type Definition and Requirements
cond
Boolean Expression
The conditional expression to evaluated and tested for true or false.
true_expr
Expression
The expression or variable to return if cond is true.
false_expr
Expression
The expression or variable to return if cond is false.
Returns
The evaluation of either the true_expr or false_expr expression, depending on the evaluation of the cond expression.
Examples
The query below evaluates the cond expression, which is the condition that needs to be tested, and then determines that cond returns true. This causes the second argument, the true_expr expression, to be evaluated and returned. The third argument, the false_expr expression, is never evaluated.
client.Query(If(true, "was true", "was false"));
"was true"
curl _URL_ \
 -u fnAChGwBcAACAO70ziE0cfROosNJHdgBmJU1PgpL: \
 -d '{ "if": true, "then": "was true", "else": "was false" }'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
{ "resource": "was true" }
result, _ := client.Query(f.If(true, "was true", "was false"))
fmt.Println(result)
was true
System.out.println(
 client.query(
 If(Value(true), Value("was true"), Value("was false"))
 ).get() );
"was true"
client.query(
 q.If(true, 'was true', 'was false')
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))

Does the definition of a(t) suggest that it starts ONLY at t = 0? I'm guessing that it doesn't. In my mind, this function kicks in at the moment cash is deposited and the formula must start counting all over, at that point, for the new deposit.
Remember that simple interest does NOT compound. If you calculate the growth to t = 3 and then calculate the growth to t = 8, you have capitalized the interest earned up to t = 3. That's no good.

This article is about the Semitic letter. For the band, see Qoph (band).
Phonemic representation kˤ, q, g
Position in alphabet 19
Numerical value 100
Alphabetic derivatives of the Phoenician
Qoph or Qop is the nineteenth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician Qōp Phoenician qoph.svg, Hebrew Qof ק, Aramaic Qop Qoph.svg, Syriac Qōp̄ ܩ, and Arabic Qāf ق (in abjadi order). Its sound value is an emphatic [] or [q]. In Hebrew gematria, it has the numerical value of 100.
The origin of qoph is uncertain. It is usually suggested to have originally depicted either a sewing needle, specifically the eye of a needle (the Hebrew קוף means "hole"), or the back of a head and neck (qāf in Arabic meant "nape").[1] According to an older suggestion, it may also have been a picture of a monkey and its tail.[2]
Hebrew Qof[edit]
The Oxford Hebrew-English Dictionary gives the letter Qoph a transliteration value of q or k; and, when word-final, it may be transliterated as ck. The normal English spellings of Biblical names containing this letter may represent it as C or K, e.g. Cain for Hebrew Qayin, or Kenan for Qenan (Genesis 4:1, 5:9).
Orthographic variants
Various print fonts Cursive
Serif Sans-serif Monospaced
ק ק ק Hebrew letter Kuf handwriting.svg Hebrew letter Kuf Rashi.png
Hebrew spelling: קוֹף
In modern Israeli Hebrew the letter is also called kuf. The letter represents /k/; i.e., no distinction is made between Qof and Kaph. However, many historical groups have made that distinction, with Qof being pronounced [q] by Iraqi Jews and other Mizrahim, or even as [ɡ] by Yemenite Jews under the influence of Yemeni Arabic.
Significance of Qof[edit]
Qof in gematria represents the number 100. Sarah is described in Genesis Rabba as בת ק' כבת כ' שנה לחטא, literally "At Qof years of age, she was like Kaph years of age in sin", meaning that when she was 100 years old, she was as sinless as when she was 20.
After a child says something false, one might retort: "B'Shin Qoph, Resh" (with Shin, Qoph, Resh). These letters spell sheqer, which is the Hebrew word for a lie. It would be akin to an English speaker saying "That's an L-I-E."
Arabic qāf[edit]
The letter ق is named قاف qāf and is written in several ways depending on its position in the word:
Position in word: Isolated Final Medial Initial
Glyph form: ق ـق ـقـ قـ
It is usually transliterated into Latin script as q, though some scholarly works use.[3]
According to Sibawayh, author of the first book on Arabic grammar, the letter is pronounced as a voiced phoneme.[4] As noted above, Modern Standard Arabic has the voiceless uvular plosive /q/ as its standard pronunciation of the letter, but dialectical pronunciations vary as follows:
This variance has led to the confusion over the spelling of Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi's name in Latin letters. In Western Arabic dialects the sound [q] is more preserved but can also be sometimes pronounced [ɡ] or as a simple [k] under Berber and French influence.
The Maghribi text renders qāf and fā' differently than elsewhere would:
منكم فقد ضل سواء السبيل فبما نقضهم ميثـٰـقهم لعنـٰـهم وجعلنا قلوبهم قـٰـسية يحرفون الكلم عن مواضعه ونسوا حظاً مما ذكروا به ولا تزال تطلع
Maghrebi variant[edit]
The Maghrebi style of writing qāf is different: having only a single point (dot) above; when the letter is isolated or word-final, it may sometimes become unpointed.[5]
The Maghrebi qāf
Position in word: Isolated Final Medial Initial
Form of letter: ٯ ـٯ ـڧـ ڧـ
The earliest Arabic manuscripts show qāf in several variants: pointed (above or below) or unpointed.[6] Then the prevalent convention was having a point above for fā' and a point below for qāf; this practice is now only preserved in manuscripts from the Maghribi,[7] with the exception of Libya and Algeria, where the Mashriqi form (two dots above: ق) prevails.
Within Maghribi texts, there is no possibility of confusing it with the letter fā', as it is instead written with a dot underneath (ڢ) in the Maghribi script.[8]
In Persian, the letter is pronounced [ɣ]~[ɢ].

text: Imperfections in integrated photonics manufacturing have a detrimental effect on the maximal achievable visibility in interferometric architectures. These limits have profound implications for further photonics technological developments and in particular for quantum photonics technologies. Active optimisation approaches, together with reconfigurable photonics, have been proposed as a solution to overcome this. In this paper, we demonstrate an ultra-high (>60 dB) extinction ratio in a silicon photonic device consisting of cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometers, in which additional interferometers function as variable beamsplitters. The imperfections of fabricated beamsplitters are compensated using an automated progressive optimization algorithm with no requirement for pre-calibration. This work shows the possibility of integrating and accurately controlling linear-optical components for large-scale quantum information processing and other applications.


text:
The Xandabox (based on Raspberry Pi) automatically detects on start-up the "preferred" resolution of the connected monitor (usually, its native resolution). Sometimes, the resolution might not be detected properly. This might happen if you power up your Playbox without a screen connected, or if after a power failure the Playbox starts before the screen has the time to power up and report properly. In this case, the standard VGA resolution of 640×480 is used.
Try rebooting your Playbox, it might be just fine. Also, you can follow this guide here to select the desired resolution of your player automatically on boot.
For Advanced, Custom and 4K resolutions we strongly recommend reading this article first.


Each 3DMark benchmark is rendered at a fixed resolution regardless of hardware. This is the rendering resolution. The rendered frames are then scaled to fit your system's Windows desktop resolution. This scaling has a negligible effect on the benchmark in most cases, and scores are comparable regardless of the desktop resolution you use.
Benchmark rendering resolution and Windows desktop display resolution are independent. You don't need to have a 4K monitor to run a 4K benchmark like Time Spy Extreme or Fire Strike Ultra. The benchmark will render at 4K then scale the frames to your PC's desktop display resolution.
Impact on CPU-limited systems
When a benchmark is limited by the CPU, or when the frame rate is very high, image scaling may have a small impact on the benchmark score. Both scenarios can be avoided, however, by choosing the right benchmark for your system.
Impact of 4K and other ultra-high resolutions
If you have a 4K desktop resolution but your GPU is not very powerful, the image scaling may require a considerable amount of GPU resources and video memory. Running with integrated graphics or a low-end discrete GPU at 4K desktop resolution or higher is not recommended. Your score may be degraded by the performance penalty of image scaling.
As a workaround, you can override the output resolution with the Scaled Resolution setting on the Options screen. For most benchmarks, choosing 1920 × 1080 (1080p) for the output resolution will be fine.
Scaling options
The Scaling Mode setting on the Options screen lets you choose between Centered and Stretched Scaling.
Centered scaling preserves the original aspect ratio. It adds a letterbox effect if your desktop resolution does not have a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Stretched scaling will stretch the image to fill the display without preserving the original aspect ratio. You could use stretched scaling to fill a triple-monitor setup, for example. Stretched scaling does not change the workload. The benchmark still renders to the internal rendering resolution, it is just scaled differently to your display.
How to change a benchmark's rendering resolution
In 3DMark Advanced Edition and 3DMark Professional Edition, you can use custom benchmark settings to change the internal rendering resolution. Please remember that custom runs do not produce an overall score and the sub-scores cannot be compared with scores obtained with default settings.
How to change a benchmark's scaled resolution
You can use the Scaled Resolution setting on the Options screen to set the scaling resolution to something other than your current desktop display resolution. This option does not affect your score.
Optimal settings for overclockers
If you're aiming for the highest possible score in a benchmark—for an overclocking contest, for example—matching your desktop resolution to the benchmark's internal rendering resolution may provide a very slight performance gain.

Although the influence of identity on consumer behavior has been documented in many streams of literature, the absence of a consistent definition of identity and of generally
accepted principles regarding the drivers of identity-based behavior complicates comparisons across these literatures. To resolve that problem, we propose a simple but inclusive definition of identity. Identity can be defined as any category label with which a consumer selfassociates
that is amenable to a clear picture of what a person in that category looks like, thinks, feels and does. Building from this definition, we propose the following five basic
principles that can help researchers model the process of identity formation and expression: (1) Identity Salience: identity processing increases when the identity is an active component of the self; (2) Identity Association: the non-conscious association of stimuli with a positive
and salient identity improves a person's response to the stimuli; (3) Identity Relevance: the deliberative evaluation of identity-linked stimuli depends on how diagnostic the identity is in the relevant domain; (4) Identity Verification: individuals monitor their own behaviors to manage and reinforce their identities; and (5) Identity Conflict: identity-linked behaviors help consumers manage the relative prominence of multiple identities. To illustrate the potential usefulness of these principles for guiding identity research, we discuss new avenues for identity research and explain how these principles could help guide investigations into these areas.

LEM, a validated cartoon character that expresses 8 emotions
Why work with a cartoon character?
The LEMtool has been developed to depict emotions in the clearest, most recognizable way. In order to achieve this, LEM – a cartoon character, has been developed that shows eight caricatured expressions of emotions3. Facial caricaturing (reduction of facial information redundant to the expression and exaggeration of the essential components) has been found to enhance the recognizability of emotions.
Why not add the words to explain the expression?
We deliberately do not explain which emotions are expressed by the character. This 'non-verbal approach' actually adds reliability to the tests. Often, people are feeling similar emotions, but refer to it with different words. With our scientifically validated cartoon characters you surpass the verbal word-significance discussion.
A great benefit of this approach is that it can be used cross-culturally: Between cultures, there are tons of small differences between words that are used to express emotions.
We might feel the same emotion, but call it differently
- How the LEMtool avoids the verbal word-significance discussion
Our research shows that even though different people use different words to express a specific emotion, they choose the same cartoon character expression because it best represents their felt emotion. This illustrates that these people are actually feeling the same, but merely call it differently.

Apple Pears
Can Dogs Eat Apple Pears?
Some fruits are so delicious that you cannot stop yourself from offering some to your dog. Is that the case with apple pears? If yes, you might have the question of whether they can healthily digest this fruit or they will have some stomach problems. So, can dogs eat apple pears a.k.a. Asian pears?
To briefly answer that question: dogs can eat apple pears only in moderation. It is not toxic. However, you should be careful about the seeds and the sugar content that most fruits naturally have high amounts of.
It might be true that some fruits and vegetables have amazing effects on dogs. But not all of them. As you know, some human food is toxic to dogs. So, it is always a wise idea to check what your dog is feeding on. The same goes for the apple pears. It does not matter if your dog accidentally ate them, or you are planning to offer him some.
Many dog owners have thought of giving food to their furry friends, myself included. It might be really tempting to share some delicious food, but do they really need it? If you are wondering if canine friends can eat apple pears, read on to learn everything you need to know.
Nutritional Value of Apple Pears
Apple pear is a fruit coming from a tree called Pyrus Pyrifolia in science. It is native to Asian countries, and you might also hear people call it nashi pear, sand pear or Asian pear. It is a really delicious type of pear with a high water level and a more complex texture when you compare it to the common pear we have at our homes.
A standard apple-pear would be around 50 kcals. 47 kcals of apple pears, almost most of it, comes from the carbs and sugar. That is around %7 of a 30lbs dogs' daily intake. Apple pears have 13 grams of sugar, where 9 grams of it is sugar. The rest is fiber.
Among beneficial things that apple pears have, we can list vitamin C, beta-carotene, thiamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and folate (vitamin B9). Apple pears also have minerals such as magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium, and iron.
Can Dogs Actually Eat Fruits?
A balanced diet for dogs works in the same way that it works for humans: it needs to have carbohydrates, protein, water, vitamins, and minerals. Most of the dog owners stick with the classic packed dog food, and some want to try different food and discover new possible diet options for their dogs.
Fruits have shown to be a great source of vitamins and fiber for them. Actually, it would not be a bad idea to give your dog fruits as treats to make up for the vitamin and fiber needs in his body. You know, maybe he will love it.
Apple Pears
Seeds of Apple Pears Might be Toxic
Apple pears are not toxic to dogs, but you should not let your dog eat it without any supervision. Because, even though they are not toxic, the seeds might be dangerous for the dogs.
There is only a small concern, and that is the seeds of apple pears. They contain a small amount of cyanide, and that substance is dangerous for dogs to consume. If the seeds are swallowed without being crushed, the cyanide will stay inside the seed, and it will be dumped with the stool.
However, if your dog ended up crushing the seeds while chewing, they will absorb some cyanide. People say that it is very unlikely to cause any harm, but it is never a bad idea to be extra cautious with your furry friend.
He will most likely be gassy and have diarrhea after consuming the seeds that have cyanide, but you should know that any fruit will have these side effects.
Apple pears are very less likely to cause serious damage to dogs. If your dog is finding some apple pears that have been fallen to the ground and eating it, make sure that you clean that place so you can control how and how much he is eating this fruit.
What Will Happen If My Dog Eats too Many Apple Pears?
Apple pears are delicious, and your dog might be a big fan of it, too. However, more than half of one apple pear is too much for a dog, and it will cause stomach problems if consumed more than that.
Eating too much apple pears can cause diarrhea and vomiting in dogs. If you think your pooch had a little too much of this delicious fruit, contact your vet right away to be safe.
Conclusion: Can Dogs Eat Apple Pears?
It is very tempting to resist watching your dog look at you with his puppy eyes while you cook or eat. And you might be wondering if he can eat some delicious apple pears or not. Most of the fruits are a very great way to supply your dog's vitamin, fiber, and mineral need because they are full of them.
Yes, we can say that dogs can eat apple pears, but dogs can eat apple pears only in moderation. Because so much of any human food will have some unwanted consequences when consumed by our canine friends.
Another thing to look out for when giving apple pears to your dog is the seeds of this fruit. We already mentioned that the seeds of apple pears contain a small amount of cyanide, which is toxic to dogs.
We hope that you have the answer you have been looking for. Do not forget that moderation is the key when feeding your dog with the same food you are eating.
Gummy Bears
Can Dogs Eat Gummy Bears?
We hope that most of the adults know how unhealthy gummy bears are. So, willingly giving it to your dog is not an option. However, let's say that your dog accidentally ate a bunch of gummy bears or a kid unknowingly gave it to your furry friend. In that case, you have to know the answer to the question of whether dogs can eat gummy bears.
The short answer is, dogs can't eat gummy bears. Gummy bears have a substance called xylitol in them, and that is what makes it problematic food for dogs. This chemical is seriously toxic if eaten by dogs. In fact, gummy bears are the most dangerous thing to give to a canine.
Let's admit that regardless of age, everyone loves gummy bears. So, you might think that it can be a good snack to offer your pup Or, your dog might have done some counter surfing, who knows.
Let's look at what can happen if your dog consumes gummy bears and their effects on dogs to avoid any potential problems.
What Happens If My Dog Consumes Gummy Bears?
Gummy bears have a huge amount of a toxic substance called xylitol. It is a sweetener and is a chemical substitute for sugar. Yes, it does not affect humans if you have not consumed lots and lots of it. However, it is seriously risky for dogs to even eat the tiniest bit of it.
Just a few grams of xylitol can cause death to a 60lbs dog. As you might know, the chocolate has the same effect. So, what do you do if your dog eats too much of gummy bears?
The first thing to do should be watching for signs of poisoning. Just a couple of gummy bears are unlikely to cause big of a problem. However, you should still look out for symptoms such as tremors, vomiting, increased heart rate, and diarrhea.
It is always a good idea to call a vet while observing your dog for further help and support. If your dog ate more than a couple, you have to induce vomiting. This process is an extreme one, and it will probably be messy. So, at least make sure you have your dog in the shower or bathtub, or maybe somewhere that you can clean easily.
Give your dog 2 to 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide to cause vomiting. If your dog does not react in three minutes, send him two or three more tablespoons. When doing so, make sure that someone is in touch with your vet or medical pet care facility in your city.
Symptoms of Xylitol Toxicity
If you are not sure that your dog has eaten enough gummy bears to be poisoned, you should always look for the symptoms listed to act immediately: seizures or shaking, lethargy, abnormal stool, not walking normally, falling or collapsing, vomiting, increased heart rate, diarrhea.
If your furry friend has just eaten gummy bears and you are aware of the problem, keep a very close eye on your canine and check his behaviors for any of the mentioned signs, or anything else that is odd. Because this is not exactly an accurate interpretation of what he can suffer.
Please notify your vet immediately if you find something odd about your dog's actions, behavior, or health, and call your vet if your dog eats xylitol-containing gummy bears. Although your dog may be treated for xylitol poisoning, it is important to detect the symptom early to improve your dog's chances of survival.
Gummy Bears
Effects of Xylitol
Even though xylitol is safe for humans to consume, it is not the same case for dogs. Xylitol is as sweet and dangerous as refined sugar. If we do not consider the toxic effects, we can also say that it is very high in calories. That is why it can make your dog extra active for a short amount of time.
If your dog gains weight, this can bring unwanted health complications. Obesity and heart diseases are only a couple of them. Among

To calculate impedance of pH electrode 400 using method 300, a circuit equivalent of electrode 400 is obtained at step 310. Accordingly,
Based on experimental simulation values, it was determined that the resistive component R2 of gel layer 420 is the primary aging component of pH electrode 400. Thus, diagnosis of the pH electrode 400 substantially relies on the measurement of the electrical characteristics of the solution junction layer (i.e., gel layer 420). Since R2 is in connection with Q, a constant phase element (CPE), in parallel, and since Q is a significantly more complex component, it was appreciated that finding a measurement solution of R2 can be simplified by approximating Q. In particular, based on the experimental simulation values it was determined that constant phase element Q has an n value larger than 0.5. Therefore, constant phase element Q can be approximated by replacing Q with a capacitance. Accordingly,
Based on the simplified circuit equivalent 600, the voltage across terminals 620 and 630 when a test current I is applied is given by the following equation:
where Vc0 is the initial voltage (i.e., at time t0) across nonzero-frequency component C2. Further, the initial voltage Vc0 is given by the formula:
where V0 is the initial voltage V across terminals 620 and 630. Thus, substituting Eq. 2 into Eq. 1 gives:
As discussed above, the resistive component R2 of gel layer 420 is the primary aging component of pH electrode 400. Thus, diagnosis of the pH electrode 400 substantially relies on the measurement of the electrical characteristics of the solution junction layer (i.e., gel layer 420. Therefore, Eq. 3 and 4 can be utilized to compute an equation for zero-frequency component R2 and nonzero-frequency component C2 of the electrode. From Eq. 3 and 4, the following equations are generated:
Further, because the primary aging component of the pH electrode is the zero-frequency resistive component R2, it is advantageous to select an arbitrary value for nonzero-frequency component C2. In accordance with one embodiment, component C2 is approximated by an arbitrary value K. The arbitrary value K is, in one embodiment, ascertained based on experimental simulation values. In one example, K is set to a value of approximately 10 nF. However, it is noted that any arbitrary value can be selected based on the characteristics of the particular pH electrode being tested. Additionally, the methods and calculations explained herein can be applied to any suitable equivalent circuit with substantial exponential response to a constant current excitation.
At step 320, a diagnostic test signal is applied to electrode 400. In one embodiment, the diagnostic signal is a known DC current I that is injected into the electrode. Further, in one embodiment the diagnostic current applied to the electrode comprises a series of oscillating square waves, such as the waveform 700 illustrated in
At step 330, a voltage response of the electrode created by the diagnostic signal is measured. The voltage is measured across the electrode and corresponds to the voltage (V) 610 across terminals 620 and 630 represented in
In one embodiment, voltage response 800 (i.e., samples 802-812) is acquired over a time duration that is substantially less than the time constant associated with the electrical characteristics of the pH electrode. In one embodiment, time durations 702 and/or 704 (illustrated in
At step 340, the voltage samples taken at step 330 are utilized to compute the electrode impedance based on the equivalent circuit of the electrode. In accordance with one embodiment, values t0, ΔV1, ΔV2, Δt1, calculated from the voltage samples are applied to Eq. 5 and/or 6, computed based on the circuit equivalent for the pH electrode. The resulting computation solves the circuit equation for R2C2. Further, as discussed above the value of C2 can be set to an arbitrary value K. As such, Eq. 5 becomes:
In addition to calculating the source impedance of the pH electrode, the sample data from step 330 can also be utilized determine the source voltage produced by the pH sensor, which is indicative of pH level of the solution. In embodiments where the test currents are applied for equal durations and magnitudes, but opposite polarity, the total average charge to the electrode will be zero for a complete test cycle. Source voltage Vph is given as:
where P3 is the positive sample taken at time t3 and N3 is the negative sample taken during the prior application of the negative test current (i.e., t0). Thus, Vph represents the average of the voltage changes resulting from the switched test current. Because the time duration between t0 and t3 is substantially less then the time constant of the pH electrode, pH readings are updated more frequently than in conventional systems.

Fighting Gravity:
Assessing the True Cost of Lifting Decisions
The Fighting Gravity Series
 The goal of the Fighting Gravity Series is to help operators, engineers and purchasers think through their requirements for lifting solutions, primarily in the lift range of loads of 1 tonne to 10 Tons, but many of the principles apply to all of your lifting decisions. Does a portable gantry solution make sense? What about an overhead gantry crane? When is a lightweight davit crane the appropriate tool?
In this edition of Fighting Gravity we will focus on a portion of your gantry crane planning: cost assessment. Having a framework to assess the costs is an important factor in arriving at the correct decision. There are a wide range of costs that aren't readily apparent at the time of purchase, so let's try and flush out a few of those hidden items below!
Assessing the Cost: Price vs Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Unfortunately most decisions start with the question "How much does that cost?" The correct question should really be "How much will this cost me over the life of the solution." It's often difficult to get an exact apples-to-apples comparison while evaluating competing products. Focusing exclusively on the up front price can miss the longer term cost of a solution. Rather than price, let's discuss the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of your lifting solution over the life span of the equipment. Products that appear slightly more expensive initially can often be very cost effective over the useful life of the equipment. Things to consider when assessing your TCO:
 - Cost to implement the solution
 - Annual costs
 - Product durability
 - Vendor reputation
 - Solution versatility
Costs to Implement the Solution
Certain solutions such as overhead gantry cranes will likely require extensive up-front planning, including engineering costs, a potential building review to ensure the structural integrity of the building, safety program planning, along with a number of other items depending on the situation. The number of service providers required to successfully implement the project can grow quickly, making organization and team management critical. You should also consider the cost of internal resources required to evaluate and manage the project. It can often require a diverse set of internal resources from engineering, finance, safety etc. to properly manage a project of that magnitude.
As a comparison, for lighter lifts, a 2 ton aluminum gantry crane would have no implementation costs aside from the purchase price, but different mobile gantry cranes come with different features. One question might be whether or not a beam trolley is included in the initial purchase price. Does it come with required safety documentation such as engineered stamped drawings or certificate of test? Is the manufacturer representing that it's been tested or will you need to that yourself (and take on that liability). These, plus other questions are important to consider at the outset of a purchase.
Annual Costs
Annual costs operating costs should be factored into the TCO calculation. These costs might involve annual maintenance or safety inspections, along with annual safety training or certification. It's critical for operator safety to know the Occupational Safety and Health Administration standard (OSHA) for each piece of equipment and operating environment.
While the upfront implementation cost might be less burdensome for portable gantry cranes, there are definitely hidden annual costs to evaluate. Legacy steel mobile gantry cranes may require large pieces of equipment such as a forklift or front loader to move them around a facility due to their heavy weights and limited mobility. The cost of an operator's time, the operating cost of the machinery, along with the opportunity cost of that piece of machinery not engaging in a higher value added activity should be seriously considered. With a forklift costing more than $30k and a front-loader at $100k the opportunity cost can become substantial. Many operators or purchasers are shocked at how high these hidden costs are on an annual basis, sometimes equaling the entire cost of a less than mobile gantry crane! A general rule of thumb is to multiply these annual operating costs by 10-20x to understand their true cost over a longer term time period (say 10+ years). So if you will incur an additional $3,000 per year in annual operating costs for one solution vs a competing solution, then over the life of the solution the cost is really closer to $30,000 to $60,000 greater than the alternative.
Lightweight, aluminum portable gantry cranes avoid the trappings of the older legacy steel gantry cranes. The aluminum portable gantry crane can be easily moved from location to location, due to its lightweight, either by quickly disassembling it to move it or by easily rolling it around a facility. As lifting capacity increases, the difference between the aluminum gantry crane and steel gantry crane can become significant. A 3 tonne to 10 ton aluminum gantry crane can be moved without additional machinery, such as the ones we produce at Easily Moved Equipment (eme). Avoiding the cost of specialized equipment to move or rig the portable aluminum gantry crane can result in substantial savings over the life of the product, reducing the TCO.
Product Durability
Most operators or purchasers will focus on direct repair costs. However, loss of productivity due to downtime is the real economic monster. Wasting time and resources to replace or repair a piece of lifting equipment that should be functional, can ripple its way through the production process or service workflow, costing multiples of the initial equipment cost.
You should also consider the environment that the equipment will be located. Is it outdoors where the elements will eventually cause degradation in either the structural or operating integrity of the asset? If so, then maybe a mobile solution has a lower TCO over the long-run.
Vendor Reputation
Understanding your equipment vendor is very important while analyzing the risk of hidden future costs. A poor assessment here regarding quality, service costs, etc. of the vendor could be costly down the road.
Understanding your equipment vendor's reliability track record is critical in this area. How quickly do they respond to service requests, if necessary? Can you obtain parts domestically or are they shipped in from overseas? What does the vendors track record of quality look like? Do they rigorously test the equipment before sending it out to a customer? These are important questions to ask of your equipment vendor to assess your TCO.
Is your vendor committed to your particular market? As an example, are you dealing with an overseas vendor that's new to your particular geography? Is there risk that vendor may decide to pack up and head home if it doesn't achieve the sales levels it requires to justify geographic expansion? What does that mean to you if you are in the unfortunate position of needing service or parts 2 or 3 years after purchasing the gear?
Understand your vendor's full product line-up. Is the model you are buying from them their core competency, or did they simply produce a couple of products for "marketing purposes" and aren't fully committed to that technology and type of product for their core lineup.
Has the ownership of your vendor changed? Sometimes this can put the historical track record such as service or quality levels at risk since new ownership may decide to focus on financial metrics rather than putting the customer first. In that situation you might not be factoring the risk and cost of repair correctly.
Solution Versatility
Certain solutions are likely purpose built, such as the overhead crane that we discussed above. You can't move it to other parts of the facility, but it's there to do a specific job!
 Other solutions can potentially serve multiple functions around a facility or worksite. If it's possible to substitute a mobile 10 ton gantry crane for a 10 ton overhead crane, the solution could have significantly lower TCO. A mobile gantry can take on many different forms. An older steel gantry crane, as discussed above, may have such limited mobility at heavier rated capacity loads of 3 tonne, 5 tonne, 7.5 tonne or 10 tonne, that it's effectively an overhead crane but on the ground. In order to use these gantry cranes at that rated capacity, you likely need to incur the cost of having multiple steel gantry cranes at each desired location, even if it has infrequent use. In contrast, the eme portable aluminum gantry crane at a 3 tonne, 5 tonne 7.5 tonne or 10 ton rated capacity can be disassembled and moved around a specific location or to another site. This may allow the operator to replace multiple legacy products with significantly fewer aluminum gantry cranes. Not only is this likely to save up-front costs, but it reduces the complexity of having to maintain or potentially certify a higher amount of equipment each year.
Lastly, understand if your equipment vendor's products are interoperable with other products in their lineup. For example, if your primary need is

I, holobiont
In 2019, performer and choreographer Nella Turkki and Janis Heldmann created a short choreography for the Urban Art Festival in Herne. The 20-minutes performance named "I, holobiont" dealt with the topic of the human body as a multispecies entity.
A holobiont is a living ecosystem that consists of diverse cells, microbes and bacteria. These living beings share the same body and live in the interdependence of each other. Modern biology claims that the human body is such a system and therefore a holobiont.
How can we encounter the unknown in us and each other, if we are aware that our behavior is influenced by bacteria and microbes? Where are our borders to the environment, if we are not alone in our bodies?
These questions were the main motives of "I, holobiont". Furthermore, a recorded speech invited the audience to discover their own embodied awareness of their holobionic nature.
The performance is abvailable to be shown in festivals in Germany and Europe. The full length video can be requested.

Canada Invests in Protecting Caribou in Quebec
August 11, 2021 Amos, Quebec Natural Resources Canada
Species at risk, particularly woodland caribou, which are listed as threatened under the Species at Risk Act, continue to be an important issue for the natural resource sectors. The Government of Canada is investing in Indigenous-led conservation efforts to protect caribou habitat and ensure their continued survival as a crucial part of Canada's forest ecosystems.
Marc G. Serré, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources and Member of Parliament for Nickel Belt, on behalf of the Honourable Seamus O'Regan Jr., Minister of Natural Resources, today announced $218,240 to the Abitibiwinni First Nation to support woodland caribou recovery in the region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue.
This project aims to inventory local Indigenous knowledge regarding the Detour and Kesagami woodland caribou populations' habitat, demography and behaviour in order to support land-use planning decisions. It will also serve as a basis for negotiating impact and benefit agreements with forest and mining industry stakeholders active on the community's ancestral territory.
Natural Resources Canada is providing funding to five Indigenous community-led projects across the country to support development and implementation of community-driven approaches to woodland caribou conservation, built on Indigenous knowledge.
"Indigenous Peoples are important stewards of Canada's forests. Investments like these, which build on traditional Indigenous knowledge, will play a critical role in the long-term survival of our forest ecosystems."
Marc G. Serré
Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources
Member of Parliament for Nickel Belt
"Indigenous Peoples are taking ecosystem protection into their own hands and succeeding. This funding will support woodland caribou recovery and empower traditional expertise, while bringing local benefits to their communities."
The Honourable Seamus O'Regan Jr.
Minister of Natural Resources
"Thanks to the financial support of Natural Resources Canada, we will be able to acquire our traditional knowledge and ensure better protection of the habitat of the woodland caribou in our ancestral territory."
