Teach GIO to handle AF_UNIX sockets on Windows.
AF_UNIX are available in Windows 10 since Build 17063. The have a number of limitations compared to other POSIX/BSD socket implementations (in particular, no SCM_RIGHTS, and very limited credential passing). However, they are quite attractive as an alternative to opening a local TCP port for local socket communications (and DBus), as they should be more secure and not directly reachable from a web browser! Looking up peer process id is also simpler and a bit safer than with TCP sockets.
There are also interesting use cases that possibles, since they can communicate with WSL2 systems.
For testing purposes, I implemented a
_g_win32_socketpair() (similar to the ocaml implementation from _URL_ I wish this function could be provided publicly by glib, since it's fairly common to want it in various projects for inter-thread communications, or testing. What do you think? There is no WSAError to errno conversion at this point. Perhaps the function could use GError instead.

Hogweed UK map tracker: Where do you find dangerous giant hogweed plants?
GIANT Hogweed, also knowns as Heracleum Mantegazzianum, is a dangerous plant that grows in some areas of the UK. Where do you find dangerous giant hogweed plants?
Comment section Share on LinkedIn Share on Pinterest Copy link Link copied
Giant hogweed: Plant is a huge hazard to children says gardener
Although stunning when fully grown, giant hogweed is an invasive plant and can potentially be harmful. Chemicals in the sap can cause photosensitivity, where skin becomes extremely vulnerable to sunlight. People who come into contact with giant hogweed plants often report symptoms such as skin blistering, pigmentation and long-lasting scars.
Where do you find dangerous giant hogweed plants?
Giant Hogweed belongs to the Apiaceae family, which includes other well-known plants such as parsley, carrots, parsnips, cumin and coriander.
A native of the Caucasus mountains of south-west Asia, it was introduced to the UK in the late 19th Century as a decorative plant.
Giant Hogweed grows all over Britain but is most commonly found along riverbanks where the seeds are transported via the water.
The Royal Horticultural Society says that areas commonly affected by Giant Hogweed include "gardens and allotments adjacent to infected woodland, heathland or common land".

Hogweed also grows along country footpaths, and in places like parks, cemeteries and wastelands.
To find where Giant Hogweed grows near you, you can use this map to do so.
What does Giant Hogweed look like?
When Giant Hogweed is fully grown, it can reach heights of up to 5metres, and have a spread of between 1 and 2metres.

Hogweed UK map tracker: Hogweed's attractive appearance makes it especially dangerous (Image: Getty)
Hogweed forms a rosette of jagged, lopsided leaves in its first year, before sending up a flower spike in its second year and developing seeds.
Giant Hogweed is actually a very appealing and attractive plant, which makes it especially dangerous.
Hogweed's stems grow with purple blotches and stiff, white hairs, and they are hollow with ridges that have a thick circle of hairs at the base of each stalk.
Giant Hogweed's leaves can grow up to 1.5m wide and 3m long, and is divided into smaller leafs.

These closely resemble a rhubarb leaf, with irregular and very sharp and jagged edges.
The appearance of its leaves has given rise to another common name for Giant Hogweed – wild rhubarb.
Flowers of the plant appear in June and July and are small and white, or sometimes slightly pink, and are clustered on umbrella-like heads.
These heads are known as umbels and can reach a diameter of 60cm, while all the flowers on the umbel face upwards.
Hogweed seeds are dry, flattened, oval in shape and almost 1cm long with tan brown lines extending the majority of the seed.
The best way to avoid injury is by familiarising yourself with the plant.
Avoid brushing through patches of Giant Hogweed and exposing yourself to cut plants, which may cause sap to get on your skin.
If you do get giant hogweed sap on your skin, be sure to wash the area thoroughly immediately.
Seek medical advice and make sure not to expose the area to sunlight for at least a few days.

Roquefort cheese or blue cheese, conspicuous by its mould and blue-green veins, has anti-inflammatory properties which could ward off heart diseases, says a new finding.
The cheese, which is aged in caves of Southern France, could perhaps explain why the French enjoy good health despite a diet high in saturated fat, a situation dubbed the French Paradox.
A process that occurs as the cheese ripens is good for a healthy gut, helps slow arthritis, and can slow the signs of ageing, such as cellulite, according to Cambridge-based biotech company Lycotec.
Researchers led by Ivan Petyaev and Yuriy Bashmakov, found that the properties of the blue cheese worked best in acidic environments, such as the lining of the stomach, the Daily Mail reports.
It suggested regular consumption by the French of Roquefort, Camembert and other moulded fermented cheeses could be one of the reasons the nation has the lowest rate of cardiovascular mortality in the developed world.

With Windows 10, Microsoft has introduced several changes to the popular operating system compared to previous versions. Not only have some classic configuration options moved , but many programs and services have been replaced by new solutions. This includes the old and popular default application for opening pictures and photos, the so-called Windows Photo Viewer. Replaced in the current edition of Windows by the Photos application, it is only possible to reactivate and use it indirectly. In the following paragraphs, we will explain why it would be worth reviving the Photo Viewer in Windows 10 and how.
Compared to the Viewer, the new Windows 10 Photos app is much more than just an image viewing program. Unlike the classic Windows program, the application offers numerous additional functions and editing options for your graphics, images and photos. In principle, this makes Photos more versatile, but it also makes it more resource consuming and more complex than the Windows Photos screen. For example, opening an image file takes much longer with the new application..
Another downside to the new viewer is that it doesn't offer full support for color management . Therefore, the representation of color spaces on the monitor, essential for the correct display of images, graphics and photos, works in a limited way. The old PhotoViewer does not have this problem.
In Windows 10, the graphical viewer has been officially replaced by the Photos app and cannot be selected to open image files. However, with just a few small changes to the registry, you can reactivate it. You will only need the Regedit editor and administrator privileges ..
Windows registry configuration errors can have a negative effect on operating system performance. For this reason, any changes not described here should only be made if you have the necessary knowledge.
The procedure to reactivate the Photo Viewer in Windows 10 is as follows:
Step 1 : Go to the Windows search bar from the Start menu (Windows icon), type? regedit ? or? registry editor ? and select the option? Run as administrator ?. In some cases, you may need to first right-click the editor icon:
Step 2 : indicate the administrator data if requested and confirm them with? OK ? Then the registry editor or "Regedit" will open. There you will see the current structure of the registry of your Windows installation. Then navigate to the path ? HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE? ? ?SOFTWARE? ? ? Microsoft? ? Windows Photo Viewer ? ? Capabilities? ? ? FileAssociations? :
Step 3 : open the last entry? File associations ? (? FileAssociations?), By clicking the left mouse button. A list of registry keys assigned to this entry will appear in the drop-down menu . In our case, these are the file formats for Windows Photo Viewer that should appear in the selection. For all other formats you want the change to apply to, create a new entry at this point by first right-clicking in the empty area and selecting the option? Chain ? in ? New ?:
Step 4 : rename the new string with the name of the format? For example. jpg , .svg, .png or .bmp . Then right-click on the corresponding entries and select? Modify ?:
Step 5 : enter the following line in the input field? Value ?:
Finally, confirm this value by clicking? OK ?
Step 6 : Close the registry and right-click on any image (in this case, a .jpg file ) that you want to open with Windows Photo Viewer. From the pop-up menu, select? Open with ? Y ? Select another application ? successively. In the list, select the entry? Windows Photo Viewer ?. Also, check the option? Always use this application to open .jpg files ? for Windows 10 to use the old viewer as the default program to open photos..

Bridgestone Americas Manufacturing Group names Classroom of the Quarter grant winners
Bridgestone Americas Manufacturing Group (BAMG) recently selected the second-quarter 2019 winners of its Classroom of the Quarter grant program. Science teachers from West Middle School and Central Middle School in the Muscatine Community School District were selected for their application, titled, "The Air We Breathe."
Through this initiative, students at the schools will learn causes of air pollution and investigate various pollutants, such as toxic gases and particulate matter. Students will then examine technologies developed by engineers to reduce air pollution, and they will build data-collecting air quality detectors that will be placed at various locations around the community after different weather events. They will act as environmental engineers and present their findings to local engineers in the community, as well as other students. Through this semester-long activity, students will build science skills, engineering-design process skills and professional communications skills.
BAMG created the Classroom of the Quarter grant program to ensure students in the Muscatine Community School District receive a quality, well-rounded education. Bridgestone awards $500 to a teacher or team of teachers each quarter to help provide the resources they need to shape the classroom environment and enhance learning for every child.
Our employees' dedication to programs like Classroom of the Quarter demonstrates the Bridgestone corporate social responsibility commitment, Our Way to Serve. This commitment reflects how Bridgestone and its employees employ innovation and technology to improve the way people move, live, work and play. Our Way to Serve provides a framework for how Bridgestone does business, develops products and interacts with customers and the communities it serves.
Congratulations to this quarter's winners!


DESIGN: Self-Charging Battery Achieves Milliamp Milestone
Strategic Elements is claiming several development milestones for its moisture-powered self-charging battery. The first is a demonstration of the company's Battery Ink technology powering an electronic device equipped with multiple sensors and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication. The ability to power BLE connectivity will enable wireless sensor networks for wearable and internet of things (IoT) devices that transmit data to other devices like mobile phones, computers, and others.
Deemed most significant, the second milestone is to print a prototype battery pack with the Battery Ink that can generate over a one milliamp (1 mA) of current from moisture (humidity) only. Obviously, achieving this higher milliamp range expands the range of devices a battery can power.
Strategic Elements' Battery Ink technology employs graphene oxide-based ink to print small, thin, and lightweight battery cells on surfaces like glass and plastic. The battery cells derive power and self-charge from moisture only. According to the company, "moisture from humidity in the air and graphene oxide are a readily available, environmentally-friendly source of energy compared to alternatives based on lithium."
Curious about this unique power technology but require higher knowledge and illumination? If so, pay a visit to the Strategic Elements website.

Thinking on Housing
Words, Memories, Use
ISBN 9781138293847
Published February 22, 2017 by Routledge
74 Pages

Book Description
If we do stop to think on housing, what do we see? What is housing and what does it do? These seem deceptively simple questions, but they are often left unanswered. The reason for this is that a lot of discourse on housing is really a concern for policy-making and the critical evaluation of existing policies. Discourse, is not, properly speaking, on housing at all. It is concerned with provision, distribution and access, but this thinking on housing stops at the front door. It is only concerned with what is actually external to housing.
But for most people, housing already exists and they have access to it. Housing is not then about policy, but about how we can use what is a complex object in a manner that allows us to live well. Housing, for most of us, is about what we do when the front door is firmly shut and we are free from the external world.
These essays explore this idea of housing as an object that exists for use. Housing is pictured as an object that contains activity. These pieces look at what we do with housing once we have it and so provides a necessary underpinning for any understanding of why housing is important.
A further purpose of these pieces is to present different ways of thinking and writing on housing. It is an attempt to show that housing is a suitable topic for philosophical discourse. It is suggested that we can and should seek to establish a philosophy of housing, rather than just relying on the traditional social sciences.

John Wesley distinguished between essential doctrines on which agreement or consensus is critical and opinions about theology or church practices on which disagreement must be allowed. Though today few people join churches based on doctrinal commitments, once a person has joined a church it becomes important to know the historic teachings of that church's tradition.
In Methodist Doctrine: The Essentials, Ted Campbell outlines historical doctrinal consensus in American Episcopal Methodist Churches in a comparative and ecumenical dialogue with the doctrinal inheritance of other major families of Christian tradition. In this way, the book shows both what Methodist churches historically teach in common with ecumenical Christianity and what is distinctive about the Methodist tradition in its various contemporary forms. Documents examined include The Twenty-Five Articles of Religion, The General Rules, Wesley's Standard Sermons and Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, The Methodist Social Creed, and the Apostles' Creed.

Journal Of Functional Foods
In this study, to prepare the fraction containing multifunctional cationic peptides, we first hydrolyzed rice bran protein (RBP) with pepsin. We separated the enzymatic hydrolysate of RBP into 20 fractions containing peptides with different isoelectric point (pI) values by ampholyte-free isoelectric focusing (autofocusing). Subsequently, we examined the antimicrobial activity of each fraction against four pathogens. In addition, we purified the cationic peptides from fractions exhibiting antimicrobial activity by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and identified them by matrix-assisted laser/desorption ionizationtime-of-flight mass spectroscopy. Of five cationic peptides identified, we chemically synthesized three peptides with high pI values and evaluated their multiple functions, including antimicrobial, lipopolysaccharide-neutralizing and angiogenic activities. Our results demonstrated that the three identified cationic peptides exhibited multiple functions with little or no haemolytic activity. Fractions containing cationic peptides obtained from RBP hydrolysate have the potential to be used as dietary supplements and functional ingredients in food products.

An initial report on the 24-hour count that began midnight Monday and ended midnight Tuesday included 233 different species — a drop of 11 from last year when 244 were counted on Mad Island. While the area likely still has one of the United States' most diverse bird populations, the species that were missing raise questions.
Similar changes in bird behavior could be seen this year in the Midwest and parts of the South, areas that have been gripped by a massive drought that covered two-thirds of the nation at its height. The drought's severity is unusual, but scientists warn that such weather could become more common with global warming.
Thank you Ruth for this important article on how bird species numbers are declining due to climate change.

In probability theory, a conditional expectation (also known as conditional expected value or conditional mean) is the expected value of a real random variable with respect to a conditional probability distribution.
The concept of conditional expectation is extremely important in Kolmogorov's measure-theoretic definition of probability theory. In fact, the concept of conditional probability itself is actually defined in terms of conditional expectation.
Let X and Y be discrete random variables, then the conditional expectation of X given the event Y=y is a function of y over the range of Y
where is the range of X.
A problem arises when we attempt to extend this to the case where Y is a continuous random variable. In this case, the probability P(Y=y) = 0, and the Borel–Kolmogorov paradox demonstrates the ambiguity of attempting to define conditional probability along these lines.
However the above expression may be rearranged:
and although this is trivial for individual values of y (since both sides are zero), it should hold for any measurable subset B of the domain of Y that:
In fact, this is a sufficient condition to define both conditional expectation and conditional probability.
Formal definition
Note that is simply the name of the conditional expectation function.
A couple of points worth noting about the definition:
- This is not a constructive definition; we are merely given the required property that a conditional expectation must satisfy.
- The required property has the same form as the last expression in the Introduction section.
- Existence of a conditional expectation function is determined by the Radon–Nikodym theorem, a sufficient condition is that the (unconditional) expected value for X exist.
- Uniqueness can be shown to be almost sure: that is, versions of the same conditional expectation will only differ on a set of probability zero.
- The σ-algebra controls the "granularity" of the conditioning. A conditional expectation over a finer-grained σ-algebra will allow us to condition on a wider variety of events.
- To condition freely on values of a random variable Y with state space, it suffices to define the conditional expectation using the pre-image of Σ with respect to Y:
- This suffices to ensure that the conditional expectation is σ(Y)-measurable. Although conditional expectation is defined to condition on events in the underlying probability space Ω, the requirement that it be σ(Y)-measurable allows us to condition on as in the introduction.
Definition of conditional probability
For any event, define the indicator function:
which is a random variable with respect to the Borel σ-algebra on (0,1). Note that the expectation of this random variable is equal to the probability of A itself:
Then the conditional probability given is a function such that is the conditional expectation of the indicator function for A:
In other words, is a -measurable function satisfying
A conditional probability is regular if is also a probability measure for all ω ∈ Ω. An expectation of a random variable with respect to a regular conditional probability is equal to its conditional expectation.
- For the trivial sigma algebra the conditional probability is (almost surely) a constant function,
- For, as outlined above,.
Conditioning as factorization
In the definition of conditional expectation that we provided above, the fact that Y is a real random variable is irrelevant: Let U be a measurable space, that is, a set equipped with a σ-algebra of subsets. A U-valued random variable is a function such that for any measurable subset of U.
We consider the measure Q on U given as above: Q(B) = P(Y−1(B)) for every measurable subset B of U. Then Q is a probability measure on the measurable space U defined on its σ-algebra of measurable sets.
Theorem. If X is an integrable random variable on Ω then there is one and, up to equivalence a.e. relative to Q, only one integrable function g on U (which is written ) such that for any measurable subset B of U:
There are a number of ways of proving this; one as suggested above, is to note that the expression on the left hand side defines, as a function of the set B, a countably additive signed measure μ on the measurable subsets of U. Moreover, this measure μ is absolutely continuous relative to Q. Indeed Q(B) = 0 means exactly that Y−1(B) has probability 0. The integral of an integrable function on a set of probability 0 is itself 0. This proves absolute continuity. Then the Radon–Nikodym theorem provides the function g, equal to the density of μ with respect to Q.
The defining condition of conditional expectation then is the equation
and it holds that
We can further interpret this equality by considering the abstract change of variables formula to transport the integral on the right hand side to an integral over Ω:
This equation can be interpreted to say that the following diagram is commutative in the average.
E(X|Y)= goY Ω ───────────────────────────> R Y g=E(X|Y= ·) Ω ──────────> R ───────────> R ω ──────────> Y(ω) ───────────> g(Y(ω)) = E(X|Y=Y(ω)) y ───────────> g( y ) = E(X|Y= y )
The equation means that the integrals of X and the composition over sets of the form Y−1(B), for B a measurable subset of U, are identical.
Conditioning relative to a subalgebra
There is another viewpoint for conditioning involving σ-subalgebras N of the σ-algebra M. This version is a trivial specialization of the preceding: we simply take U to be the space Ω with the σ-algebra N and Y the identity map. We state the result:
Theorem. If X is an integrable real random variable on Ω then there is one and, up to equivalence a.e. relative to P, only one integrable function g such that for any set B belonging to the subalgebra N
where g is measurable with respect to N (a stricter condition than the measurability with respect to M required of X). This form of conditional expectation is usually written: E(X | N). This version is preferred by probabilists. One reason is that on the Hilbert space of square-integrable real random variables (in other words, real random variables with finite second moment) the mapping X → E(X | N) is self-adjoint
and a projection (i.e. idempotent)
Basic properties
Let (Ω, M, P) be a probability space, and let N be a σ-subalgebra of M.
- Conditioning with respect to N is linear on the space of integrable real random variables.
- More generally, for every integrable N–measurable random variable Y on Ω.
- for all B ∈ N and every integrable random variable X on Ω.
- Conditioning is a contractive projection
- for any s ≥ 1.

Captain Falcon (SSB)/Down aerial
Captain Falcon stomps below him, dealing 14% damage. The move's hitbox lasts a very long time, but it has very quick startup. The move functions as a meteor smash, striking airborne opponents downwards when they are hit by the move. The move's reach is also extended by a small hitbox above Captain Falcon's legs. The move is a powerful meteor smash (even if it hits during the latter frames), and it can KO at moderately low percentages offstage. Due to the move having high power throughout the entire duration, it can easily be used after an edge drop and a midair jump to cover the area around Falcon, being very difficult for most recovering characters to get past. If the move is used on a grounded opponent, it produces very weak knockback that only just lifts them off the ground at around 80-90%, though at around 80% it can lead into an up smash to get the opponent into the air, and at around 100-150% (depending on the falling speed of the opponent) it can lead straight into a back aerial or occasionally a neutral aerial for a KO. Used on a grounded opponent at lower to moderate percentages, it can also tech-chase rather easily. This can be performed out of a short hop or after an aerial down aerial onstage. In addition to this, it can be used effectively with the help of platforms; for example, Falcon can use it almost immediately after dropping through a soft platform. Additionally, a down aerial can be used on a grounded opponent right next to the edge of the stage to combo into another down aerial, a forward smash, or even a Falcon Punch.
Captain Falcon can also perform a Ken Combo variation by jumping, using his back aerial (at lower percentages) or forward aerial (at moderate percentages), jumping again and using a down aerial to meteor smash the opponent. A down aerial can also be used to finish a string of up aerials. According to Ken himself, the Ken Combo was initially developed in Smash 64 using an up aerial → down aerial combo with Captain Falcon.

E-Dogz is a collaborative mobile kitchen project that is a platform for the cross-pollinating of foodways. Through collaborative cooking practices, Eric "E-Dog" May develops recipes with guest chefs that reflect the contemporary food landscape while promoting evolving cultural expressions. The guest chefs that work with E-Dogz range from professionals to home cooks and from artists to scientists with whom Erichas struck a dialog with in his continual food- obsessed travels and research. Oftentimes, he allows for the collaborator to guide the menu with their own recipes and traditions, while Eric plays role more as curator of ingredients, bringing to the table flora and fauna that demonstrate his worldview of contemporary eating- a common sense, sustainable approach that challenges societal prejudices toward food sources. E-Dogz intends to bridge cultural ideas about eating and cooking and promote discourse about food, advocating deeper understandings of what we eat- where it comes from and who is making it. The practices of cooking and eating are undeniably central to our lives and thusly are an easy-to-pick up conversation topic that transcends social differences. Street food, the kind of stuff prepared with modest facilities and resources and served out in the open to the public is a catalyst for such engagement. The sites of street food serve as urban oases for ever-shifting populations, gathering places for hungry working people and sites of cultural expression and lively discussion. Promoting a democratic, evolving cuisine is the goal of the E-Dogz project.
Like hotdogs and pizza, BBQ is one of those foods with fierce regional allegiances. In projects such as the International Hotdog Forum, E-Dogz has set aside such arguments for the sake of celebrating the diversity of all the great working class food traditions. For Speakeasy, E-Dogz will be showcasing the similarities and differences of Kansas City and Chicago styles of BBQ, while charting the history of these great traditions. Like Kansas City style BBQ, Chicago style has roots in the south, the former a direct descendant of Memphis style BBQ brought to KC by pitmaster Henry Perry and the latter style traveling up from the Mississippi Delta during the Second Great Migration in the 1950's. The two styles have much in common- like all (real) BBQ the meat is smoked over hard wood and both share similarities in their sauce recipes- tomato based, thick, and sweet. Both Chicago and Kansas City were (and are) hubs of transportation and commerce with prevalent meatpacking industries, so we can safely call them carnivorous towns.
Join us on Friday, April 6th from 6-9 PM, as we celebrate the great Midwestern tradition of smoking meat over hardwood!

Access to Environmental Information: How can better practice be achieved in the Latin American Context?
Opinion paper, 2 pages
Traditionally, in Latin American countries, environmental management policy has been drawn up and implemented in a highly centralised manner, without the involvement of civil society. However, over the last decade, awareness of the importance of including the general public in environmental management has increased. This has generated significant reforms fostering a different relationship between civil society and State bodies. In spite of this, several obstacles continue to conspire against citizen participation in environmental management.

Understanding VI Curves and Their Significance
As each shaker is manufactured, Data Physics gathers Voltage vs. Current (VI) curves for that particular model. The VI curves show the voltage and current output from the amplifier to the AC coil, typically recorded at full force bare table. The original VI curves can later be referred to and compared against current measurements as another health check of the shaker and amplifier assembly. Figure 1 is a recently recorded VI curve for the LE-308/DSA10-20K shaker and amplifier system. You can see the Voltage starts at approximately 100V, which is right at the displacement limit of the shaker. The voltage then gradually increases to approximately 105V, which is the velocity limit of 71 inches per second (1.8 m/s). Since Velocity is directly proportional to Voltage, this constant is maintained until you reach the Velocity to Force crossover frequency, which is approximately 80 Hz, at which point the Voltage drops and Current reaches its maximum. You can see that the Current stays generally constant at approximately 125 Amperes through the entire frequency range of approximately 80-900 Hz, at which time the required current rolls off due to the "free energy" of the system dynamics. Since we have tested this system at maximum force, the maximum current requirement should not change with payload except at the velocity crossover point. In other words, if you were to load a 150 lbs (68 kg) payload or a 250 lbs (113 kg) payload and operate the shaker to its full force output, the required current should remain a constant 125 Amperes.
The only exception to this rule would be at the Velocity to Acceleration cross over point which will shift down significantly due to the payload. However, the curve should look just the same as Figure 1; the only difference would be the point at which the Voltage and Current cross each other.

We roll out the red carpet for dignitaries and celebrities, but what about World War II fighters plane that need to land in battlefields without airstrips? For them, the Army rolled out the burlap:
A FACTOR in Allied victories on the Western Front has been the availability of airstrips for our fighters directly behind the battle lines.
Thanks to a new type of mat which resembles tar paper, Army engineers have been able to lay these emergency fields in recordbreaking time. When a location suitable for an airfield has been rolled and graded, a device known as a "stamplicker," towed by a truck, rolls over it strips of burlap material called "Hessian Mat." These rolls are 100 yards long and 36 inches wide. As they pass through the rollers of the stamplicker, which is towed at a speed between 2-1/2 and 4 miles per hour, they are coated with a 50-50 solution of gasoline and asphalt, called "RC-3 cutback."
The strips are laid with a 50 percent overlap and their seams are sealed with a special tar compound, the resultant surface having about the same non-skid properties as an asphalt highway.

text: EU milk quota deregulation has forced many farmers to reconsider the factors that will limit milk production into the future. Factors other than milk quota such as land, labour, capital, stock, etc. will become the limiting factor for many in a post-EU milk quota scenario. While it can be postulated what the limits to production will be in a post-quota scenario, how farmers react will determine the future direction of the industry. In order to determine the future attitudes and intentions and to identify the key factors influencing farmers who intend to expand, exit, remain static or contract their businesses in the future, a survey of a large group of Irish commercial dairy farmers was carried out. The telephone survey sample was chosen randomly, based on a proportional representation of suppliers to the largest milk processor in Ireland. The sample (780 suppliers) was broken down by quota size (five quota categories, Q1–Q5), supplier region and system of production. The sample was analysed to determine the effect of key survey variables on the future intentions of dairy farmers. The survey was completed by 659 suppliers (0·82 of the sample). The proportions of farmers intending to expand were 0·28, 0·47, 0·61, 0·61 and 0·56, respectively, for Q1–Q5, while the proportions intending to exit were 0·27, 0·18, 0·08, 0·09 and 0·08, respectively. Farmers who were intent on expanding had larger total farm areas, larger milk tank capacity per litre of milk quota, more modern milking facilities, more available cow housing and more housing that could be converted at a relatively low cost and were more likely to have a successor. Of those expanding, 0·60 wanted milk quotas abolished, while 0·36 of those planning to exit wanted milk quotas abolished. The level of expansion was affected by business scale, dairy stocking rate, the additional labour required with expansion and total and milking platform farm size.


\ldots p-1\}$. Universal quantification over an empty domain is trivially true. The rest of the properties of the invariant are easy to prove by just substituting the values of the variables in the first iteration ($k = p$, $i = 1$, $j = 1$).
Maintenance step
The general rule for proving maintenance is: $\{Inv \wedge B\}$ $S$ $\{Inv\}$, being $S$ the set of instructions in the loop body.
The maintenance of the following invariant properties need not be proved:
$\forall 1 \leq x \leq q-p+1 : L[x] = A'[p+x-1]$
$\forall 1 \leq x \leq r-q : R[x] = A'[q+x]$
$L[q-p+2] = R[r-q+1] = \infty$
$A'[p\ldots q]$ and $A_1[q+1\ldots r]$ are already sorted.
since $A'$, $L$, $R$, $p$, $q$ and $r$ are not modified during the execution of the loop.
For the rest of the properties, we are going to prove their maintenance by considering the two possible cases that can occur (either $L[i] \leq R[j]$ or $L[i] \gt R[j]$):
(a) $Inv \wedge B \wedge (L[i] \leq R[j]) \wedge (A[k] = L[i]) \implies ((Inv)_{i+1}^{i})_{k+1}^{k}$
 1. Maintenance of $p \leq k \leq r + 1$
$p \leq k \leq r + 1 \wedge B \implies (p \leq k \leq r + 1)^{k}_{k+1}$
$p \leq k \leq r + 1 \wedge k\leq r \implies p \leq k+1 \leq r + 1$
$p \leq k \leq r \implies p \leq k+1 \leq r + 1$
 1. Maintenance of $k = p+j+i-2$
At the end of the iteration, both $k$ and $i$ will have incremented by one with respect to their previous value, and $j$ will remain unchanged. Hence, the equality $k = p+j+i-2$ will be preserved.
 1. Maintenance of $i \leq q-p+2$ and $j \leq r-q+1$.
The variable $j$ remains unchanged so $j \leq r-q+1$ is maintained.
The variable $i$ cannot grow larger than $q-p+2$ because if $i = q-p+2$, then $L[i] = \infty$, and the condition $L[i] \leq R[j]$ (line 13) will fail provided that $R[j] \neq \infty$, or equivalently, $j \neq r-q+1$. Now, suppose $i = q-p+2$ and $j = r-q+1$ occur at the same time:
$Inv \wedge \color{red}{B} \wedge (i = q-p+2) \wedge (j = r-q+1)\implies$
$(k = p+j+i-2) \wedge (i = q-p+2) \wedge (j = r-q+1) \implies k = r + 1 \implies \color{red}{\lnot B}$
This is a contradiction, therefore, $i = q-p+2$ and $j = r-q+1$ cannot occur at the same time provided $Inv \wedge B$.
 1. Maintenance of $\varphi$
$Inv \wedge B \wedge (L[i] \leq R[j]) \wedge (A[k] = L[i]) \implies ((\varphi)^{i}_{i+1})^{k}_{k+1}$
We want to prove that $((\varphi)^{i}_{i+1})^{k}_{k+1}$, that is:
There exists a bijection $F : \{p\ldots k\} \rightarrow \{p \ldots p+i-1\} \cup \{q+1\ldots q+j-1\}$ such that
$\forall p \leq x \leq k : A[x] = A'[F(x)]$. Furthermore $\forall p\leq x \lt k : A[x] \leq A[x + 1]$.
We will do this in two steps. First we are going to prove $\forall p\leq x \lt k : A[x] \leq A[x + 1]$.
We know from $\Psi$ that $\forall p \leq x \leq k-1 : A[x] \leq min(L[i],R[j])$. Since $L[i] \leq R[j]$, then $\forall p \leq x \leq k-1 : A[x] \leq L[i]$. Since $A[k] = L[i]$, then $\forall p \leq x \leq k-1 : A[x] \leq A[k]$.
We know from $\varphi$ that $\forall p\leq x \lt k-1 : A[x] \leq A[x + 1]$. We can conclude that:
$$(\forall p\leq x \lt k-1 : A[x] \leq A[x + 1]) \wedge (\forall p \leq x \leq k-1 : A[x] \leq A[k]) \implies$$ $$\forall p\leq x \lt k : A[x] \leq A[x + 1]$$
Let's continue with the second part.
Let there be a bijection $F : \{p\ldots k-1\} \rightarrow \{p \ldots p+i-2\} \cup \{q+1\ldots q+j-1\}$ such that
$\forall p \leq x \leq k-1 : A[x] = A'[F(x)]$.
Since $A[k] = L[i] = A'[p+i-1]$, we can construct another bijection $F' : \{p\ldots k\} \rightarrow \{p \ldots p+i-1\} \cup \{q+1\ldots q+j-1\}$ such that
$\forall p \leq x \leq k : A[x] = A'[F'(x)]$.
 1. Maintenance of $\Psi$
$Inv \wedge B \wedge (L[i] \leq R[j]) \wedge (A[k] = L[i]) \implies ((\Psi)^{i}_{i+1})^{k}_{k+1}$
$\Psi: \forall p \leq x \leq k-1 : A[x] \leq min(L[i],R[j])$
Since $A[k] = L[i]$ and $L[i] \leq R[j]$, then $A[k] \leq min(L[i],R[j])$
Since $L[i] \leq L[i+1]$, then $min(L[i],R[j]) \leq min(L[i+1],R[j])$
Therefore, $\forall p \leq x \leq k : A[x] \leq min(L[i+1],R[j])$
(b) $Inv \wedge B \wedge (L[i] \gt R[j]) \wedge (A[k] = R[j]) \implies ((Inv)_{j+1}^{j})_{k+1}^{k}$

text: Sinawi, sometimes spelled shinawi, is a traditional form of Korean music. It is performed improvisationally by a musical ensemble, and traditionally accompanies the rites of Korean shamanism. The style first emerged in the Chungcheong and Jeolla provinces, but is now widespread. The traditional sinawi ensemble followed the principle of sam-hyeon-yuk-gak (三絃六角), with two flutes, a haegeum, a daegeum, a janggu hourglass-drum, and a large buk drum. However, today other traditional Korean instruments such as the gayageum and geomungo are also often included.

CLIFTON — October is National Dental Hygiene Month and the students in Greenlee and Graham counties are getting some help when it comes to dental care.
Delta Dental Foundation of Arizona awarded Tooth B.U.D.D.S. a $25,000 grant to continue providing oral care and education to the students of Greenlee and Graham counties.
"One of the best parts about receiving this oral health grant from Delta Dental of Arizona has been to see the massive growth we have been able to accomplish in one short year," said MiQuel McRae, founder and executive director of Tooth B.U.D.D.S. "We are so excited to have been given another opportunity to bring even more smiles into underserved communities throughout eastern Arizona. We are even hoping to expand into Gila County in 2020."
The lack of dental providers in Greenlee County has led the region to have the lowest percentage of children who regularly receive dental checkups in Arizona. Because of this, some dental conditions have advanced well past what a regular cleaning can address. Program recipients with additional dental needs will be referred to local dental providers who have partnered with Tooth B.U.D.D.S.
In one school visit, these children can receive an exam, X-rays, professional dental cleanings, sealants, fluoride varnish, as well as Silver Diamine fluoride which stops active decay once it has started. To encourage the students to carry on these practices at home, Tooth B.U.D.D.S. will go into each individual classroom to teach students about oral hygiene and provide each child with a water bottle and a Delta Dental Smile Bag that includes a toothbrush, toothpaste and floss.
"Tooth B.U.D.D.S is delivering the oral health-care treatments these children need, no matter what the geographical barriers might be," said Allan Allford, chief executive officer at Delta Dental of Arizona. "We are huge supporters of what this organization is doing for underserved rural communities around the state, and we look forward to seeing the results of their work reflected in the smiles of the children they serve."
The Delta Dental Foundation grant is the second in the last two months for Tooth B.U.D.D.S.; in September, the organization received $4,690 from Arizona Community Foundation of the Gila Valley.
B.U.D.D.S. stands for Bringing Understanding of Dental Disease to Schools. Its primary goal is to improve the oral health and overall health of the children in these counties
In addition to Tooth B.U.D.D.S., the Arizona Department of Health Services has been offering the Cavity Free AZ Sealant program to schools since 1987.
"School-based dental sealant delivery programs provide sealants to children unlikely to receive them otherwise," the ADHS wrote. "In 2015, 75 percent of Arizona third-graders needed dental sealants.
Sealants prevent tooth decay and stop cavities from growing. In 2015, 60 percent of Arizona third-graders were affected by tooth decay; 30 percent had pain, dental infection or severely decayed teeth in need of urgent treatment.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 20 percent of children in the United States ages 5-11 have at least one decayed tooth left untreated.
MouthHealthy.org has some tips in its Halloween Survival Guide to choose the best holiday candies to help reduce dental issues. For example, chocolate cleans the easiest, while sour or hard candies are the worst due to acidity and the possibility of breaking teeth.

How to cite this study
Maples, J.N. and Bradley, M.J. 2017. Economic impact of non-commercial paddling and preliminary economic impact estimates of commercial paddling in the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests. Washington, DC: Outdoor Alliance.
This study conducts an economic impact analysis of paddling expenditures for both noncommercial and commercial paddlers on rivers in the Nantahala and Pisgah national forests in North Carolina. Results indicated that noncommercial paddler visitors spend an estimated $3.2 million annually across seven rivers.
This study is relevant to leaders interested in quantifying the economic impacts of paddlers on water trails. Results should be interpreted with caution as the survey is a convenience sample, meaning that results may not reflect the expenditures and preferences of a typical paddler. Additionally, commercial paddlers' expenditures were calculated by extrapolating from noncommercial paddlers' expenditures, which may lead to an inaccurate estimate of expenditures for commercial paddlers.
Additionally, the mean expenditures for several rivers should be interpreted with care due to low response rates. Finally, the authors do not consider the length of visit for paddlers and how they could affect the economic impact of mean expenditures per visit. However, on the survey, respondents indicated they spent an average of three nights per visit. This indicates an avenue for further research.
The study is located in the Nantahala and Pisgah national forests (NPNF), which cover more than one million acres in North Carolina.
For noncommercial economic impact, the study focuses on seven rivers within the NPNF in North Carolina: Nantahala (8 miles available for paddling), French Broad (8 miles), Nolichucky (8.5 miles), Cheoah (9 miles), Wilson Creek (2.5 miles), Big Laurel (3.5 miles), and North French Broad (8 miles). For commercial economic impact, the study focuses on three rivers: Nantahala, French Broad, and Nolichucky. All are water paddling trails.
The aim of this research is to estimate paddling noncommercial and commercial annual economic impact across rivers in the NPNF. The study was funded by Outdoor Alliance.
- Noncommercial paddler visitors to the NPNF spend an estimated $3.2 million annually across seven rivers.
- Noncommercial paddling tourism supports 35 full-time jobs and $827,000 in job income.
- Commercial paddler visitors may contribute $36 million annually across three rivers in the NPNF.
- Commercial paddling may support an estimated 446 full-time jobs and $10 million in job income. Commercial padding estimates should be interpreted with caution.
Data was collected through an online survey sent to individuals who paddled in the NPNF in 2017. The survey collected information on demographics and expenditures using Qualtrics. Because of these sampling methods, the results may not reflect the preferences of a typical paddler. The total sample was 105 local paddlers who lived in western North Carolina and 307 visitor paddlers who lived outside North Carolina. Using data from American Whitewater, the U.S. Forest Service, and local commercial paddling operations, the authors estimated 40,076 noncommercial paddlers across seven rivers and 199,155 commercial paddlers across three rivers. Expenditures were separated by visitors and residents in the analysis using IMPLAN.

A Hidden Gem in BibleWorks
Luke 18:1-4
Luke 18:1-4 (click to enlarge)
A hidden gem in BibleWorks is the "MacDonald Greek Transcription."
BibleWorks comes with sentence diagrams for the Greek New Testament. They are also useful and look like this:
Luke 18:1-2 (click to enlarge)
Luke 18:1-2 (click to enlarge)
The MacDonald transcriptions above, however, replicate something I haven't seen in any other Bible software (EDIT/UPDATE: Logos has a "clausal outlines" module, minus the color coding), which is the sentence flow method of representing and visualizing a sentence. He uses color coding and spacing to line up parallel ideas and repeated words, making them easier to see than in just the text or even the diagrams.
It's a great way to get at the motifs and important words of a given passage. And I'd forgotten about it until recently, but am now using it most weeks in sermon preparation.
The full title of the resource above is Syntactic and Thematic Greek Transcription of the New Testament, by William Graham MacDonald, 2008. BibleWorks is available here. Its full contents list is here.
5 thoughts on "A Hidden Gem in BibleWorks
 1. In Logos, look for Dean Deppe's "Clausal Outlines of the Greek New Testament". There are NA27 and an SBLGNT editions. They don't use color, but they do structure the text, line up related components, etc. Note that Logos' sentence diagrammer can also be used to structure the text in this way instead of a traditional stick diagram.
 1. Thanks, Rick! I was looking through the Logos pages and forums to see if there was anything, and noticed that you can make your own, but didn't know about Deppe. I just see it as part of the (erstwhile top-secret?) Biblical Languages package in L5. Is it coming available separately any time soon? I find that method a great way to engage the biblical text.

The Chinstrap Colony of Sando Point, Antarctica
Category: Nature
Photo and caption by Bojil Vassilev
Penguins making the most of the scarce land and raising their chicks in a dense grid of nests. The distance between nests is strictly determined by the maximum distance an adult penguin can expel his poo. Chinstrap penguins are able to generate considerable pressure to propel their faeces away from their nest. Polar scientists Meyer-Rochow and Jozsef Gal calculate the pressure at around 10 kPa, well above that known for humans and permitting the 60 cm tall penguins to defecate as far as 40 cm away from their nest. The reason for this behavior remains unknown.

Since the publication of the first edition of Grasses: Panicum to Danthonia in 1973, twenty additional taxa of grasses have been discovered in Illinois that are properly placed in this volume. In addition, numerous nomenclatural changes have occurred for plants already known from the state, and many distributional records have been added. This second edition updates the status of grasses in Illinois. Paul W. Nelson has provided illustrations for all of the additions.
Because the nature of grass structures is generally so different from that of other flowering plants, a special terminology is applied to them. In his introduction, Robert H. Mohlenbrock cites these terms, with descriptions that make the identification of unknown specimens possible. Mohlenbrock's division of the grass family into subfamilies and tribes is a major departure from the sequence usually found in most floristic works in North America.
Synonyms that have been applied to species in the northeastern United States are given under each species. A description based primarily on Illinois material covers the more important features of the species. The common names—Paflic Grass, Billion Dollar Grass or Japanese Millett, Thread Love Grass, and Goose Grass—are the ones used locally in the state. The habitat designation and dot maps showing county distribution of each grass are provided only for grasses in Illinois, but the overall range for each species is also given.


Why do I have to take a bath?
Chris Amaral/Digital Vision/Thinkstock
If your parents tell you to take a bath, then that's the reason why. But there is no survival reason to take a bath. People can go for months without taking a bath and they survive fine.
But, when they don't take a bath, people sometimes smell pretty bad. Taking a bath gets rid of the smell. And your skin gets dirty, just like a car gets dirty if you don't wash it. Taking a bath lets you clean your skin. If you have a cut or a scrape, cleaning the skin will help it heal faster because it gets rid of germs.

I have 2 layers, one representing streets, and one representing pipes. The pipe layer has a street field that I want it to be automatically filled (I want the pipe to show the street that it's on) I tried performing a spatial join based on 'closest' but I encountered the following problem: many pipes never intersect the center of the streets they're on (they are usually paralel), and, at the spatial join, those respective pipes don't get the needed data from the street they go along but from the ones that are perpendicular (cause they intersect the pipes, so they have one point that is closest). I would like some advice. Thanks a lot.

Tudor I've face a similar problem and created a programatic tool that would:
 1. Shorten my street centerline. Here I would take it from.4 to.6 for example (in this case I would consider only the dashes)
 After shortening
 2. I would buffer it for a small ammout, let's say 10% of the original street lenght. Imagine that you are buffering only the dashes in the schematic "drawing above".
 3. Try to intersect it with pipes.
You can repeat 2 and three until you've found a certain number of pipes. The idea for shortening the center line is to eliminate the cases where you other perpendicular lines that you do not want.
Check a less ugly scheme:
enter image description here
Another approach is to just buffer, intersect and compare the angles. You can safely set a threshold of what "parallel" is. You will never have straight and parallel lines in this cases (some will be parallel, but that depends on digitizing). You take only the pipes that have similar angles to your centerline.

Thanks for the answer, I hoped for a different answer, I will try to do something alike. – tudorbarascu Jul 25 '11 at 4:14
I'll see if I can find some code to help you. This method improves confidence of the results, it's not the most pratical, but it works great on regular grids. The more irregular the street network the less confidence you can have with it. – George Jul 25 '11 at 14:29

You can mount your FTP drive on your seedbox so you can easily access your files and folder by a mounted network drive on your PC from the seedbox, You can delete files, copy files from the seedbox like it was a drive on your seedbox.
One more benefit is you can drag and drop a file from seedbox onto a vlc player and it would start playing the video or audio files from seedbox directly.
Step 1: Copy the "Link to Use ftp from browser" sent in your initial mail
Step 2: Go to your desktop and right click on my computers, you dont have my computer on your desktop wtach this 2 mins video which will help you set up my computer in your desktop
Step 3: Right-click on my computer(on your desktop) and select map network drive
Step 4: Choose any unused drive on your device and On the next screen click on the blue text as shown on the screenshot below
Step 5: Select choose a custom network location. Double-click on it.
Step 6: On the tab that opens up paste the ftp url you copied from your seedbox is ready mail and then click next.
Step 7: Name any friendly name for the seedbox drive
Step 8: Click on next and then click finish
Step 9: Browsing to the ftp network drive in your device is easy just follow the screenshot
You and browse the files and folders now within your seedbox but one disadvantage is that you cannot play/open the files directly from your seedbox, but you can copy files and folders in your computer and use it accordingly.
If you have any questions put it in the comments we will try to update the tutorial accordingly.

Definition of Equipotential Surface
Definition of Equipotential Surface
Equipotential surface
We have come to know that potential everywhere on earth's surface is same (zero), as the surface of the earth is a good electric conductor. On the surface of the conductor potential difference cannot exist, because if there is potential gradient an electric field will act on the surface and electrons of the surface will distribute in such way, due to the influence of the electric field, that electric field disappears. The total charge of the conductor whether positive or negative or the conductor is chargeless or whatever may be the actual potential of the conductor with respect to an object, potential on the surface all cases will be equal everywhere.
So, it can be said that the surface or volume becomes such that its potential is everywhere same, then that surface or volume is called equipotential surface or volume.
For example, consider two points A and B on an equipotential surface as shown in the figure.
VB – VA = 0
VB = VA
It may be noted that an equipotential surface may be the surface of a material body or a surface drawn in an electric field.

Mental handicaps, self-sufficient, economic burden, potential contributors to society, employment opportunity, social service structures
Mental handicaps affect a suprisingly large part of the community. If the handicapped cannot make themselves self-sufficient, they become a great economic burden whereas they may have the potential of being contributors to society. This paper will examine aspects of the law relating to employment opportunity and certain social service structures, and question the extent to which they further a handicapped person's goal of fulfilling his employment potential. Field research was done only in the Halifax area, but the analysis is pertinent across Canada because the statutory provisions, social services and social assistance structures found in Halifax are on the whole similar to those found across Canada.

Forlond was a harbour that lay on the northern shore of the Gulf of Lhûn, in the Elvish land of Forlindon. Its precise location is open to question. In Appendix A to The Lord of the Rings, there's an account of the arrival of the Gondorian general Eärnur in Lindon, where we're told that his ships filled the Forlond. That account strongly suggests that the harbour represented no more than the northern part of Mithlond, the Grey Havens. According to the maps that accompany The Lord of the Rings, though, the Forlond was placed some two hundred miles to the west of the Havens, at the mouth of the Gulf of Lhûn.
Whichever of these alternatives is correct, we can be sure that it lay on the northern shore of the Gulf, because the name Forlond is derived from the Elvish for 'north haven'. It had an equivalent on the southern shore, too: the Harlond or'south haven'.

A Short Comparison of Two Different Genres
Updated on May 29, 2013
Differences in an Academic Journal vs. a Personal Narrative
 - Paragraph Length
 - Sentence Length
 - Word Choice
 - Relationships with the Reader
Comparing two different genres of stories is like comparing apples and oranges. The differences are conspicuous and even a callow reader would be able to point them out. After reading two passages, Outbreaks of Food Borne Diseases in the Lazio Region, Italy: The Results of Epidemiological Field Investigations and Grouper with All the Trimmings, I've made comparisons between the genres. There are four major differences in the genres: paragraph length, sentence length, word choices, and relationships with the reader when comparing the genre of an academic journal to a personal narrative genre.
Comparing Paragraph Length
The paragraph length in the academic journal is extensive compared to that of a personal narrative. This is because in an academic journal, there are usually only one or possibly two ideas that the article would be about and the writer would go into great detail about each topic in an academic journal, making sure to cover as much information as possible so they can answer any questions that a reader might have. Because of this, the writer wouldn't need multiple paragraphs, but only a single, long paragraph for each topic that includes all the relevant information. An academic journal may have an introductory paragraph and a conclusive paragraph, but due to the nature of the writing and the type of audience that would read this genre, and introductory and conclusion paragraph isn't necessary. In a personal narrative, the writer is busy trying to convey feelings and experiences, which, as a typical human being, tends to change quickly and sometimes dramatically. Because of the erratic changing of ideas in a personal narrative, a writer would only have a small amount of information about each idea; therefore multiple paragraphs would be needed.
Comparing Sentence Length
The sentence length in the academic journal is longer than those in the personal narrative. This is due to the purpose of the two different genres. The information in the academic journal's purpose is to inform readers of factual accounts and requires support to maintain the credibility of the writer. Therefore, a writer expresses the idea and adds some extra content in order to support the idea. This is also due to the fact that a lot of the words in an academic journal (explained in the next section) are very technical and long, containing a lot of characters. In a personal narrative, the reader doesn't need proof of the story; therefore the writer can simply express their ideas and feelings without any added content, making sentences shorter. They are also able to use simpler words to make reading the story easier for the reader.
Comparing Word Choices
The word choice is one of the most obvious differences in the genres. The academic journal uses technical words; words that are considered "big" or "intelligent". These words must be used in order to demonstrate the knowledge of the writer in their particular field. The words are often scientific in nature and may require a definition or supporting argument. The personal narrative uses smaller and more relatable words so that their readers can easily indulge in the message without having to over-think the message.

Comparing the Relationships with the Reader
The relationship with the reader is another major difference in the genres. In an academic journal, the relationship with the reader is impersonal and authoritative. One could almost say that the relationship between the writer and the reader is cold and uncaring. The writer's purpose in an academic journal is simply to inform, not to connect. The writer is simply trying to promote facts and knowledge. In a personal narrative, the relationship with the reader is very personal. The writer tries to connect with the reader on an emotional level so that the reader can draw mental pictures and actually feel what is happening in the story.
Paragraph length, sentence length, word choice, and relationships with the readers are four distinct differences in the academic journal and the personal narrative. These genres have major differences because they serve different purposes. The differences are obvious to readers and help to distinguish the two genres from each other.

Your Cortland County weather forecast for Wednesday, February 22, 2023:
An icy mix of precipitation will make for slick roads this afternoon and evening.
The morning hours should be quiet with increasing and thickening clouds. Precipitation will first arrive as early as the midday hours and may start as a little light snow.
During the early afternoon, the precipitation should transition to sleet and then freezing rain. This icy mix will last most of the afternoon and may persist into the evening hours.
Sleet is precipitation that falls as already frozen ice pellets. Freezing rain falls as a liquid but freezes once it contacts the surface. The ratio of sleet to freezing rain during the afternoon is uncertain and will likely vary from location to location.
Anywhere from a glaze to as much as a quarter-inch of ice will be possible. Generally speaking, higher elevations have the greater chance for significant icing.
If the ice amounts end up on the higher end, some sporadic power outages could result.
At some point this evening, the precipitation should mostly lift north and temperatures will just nose above freezing. Roads and sidewalks will remain slick if not properly treated, though.
Temperatures throughout the day will hover around or just under freezing in the low 30s. Winds will be from the east and southeast at around or just over 5 mph during both the daytime and nighttime hours.
Here is a look at the weather for the next few days:
Thursday: Morning clouds and some drizzle. Some breaks of afternoon sun possible. Morning lows in the low and mid 30s. Afternoon highs in the low 40s.
Friday: Lake effect snow showers, especially in the morning. Windy. Morning temperatures in the upper 10s. Afternoon temperatures dropping to the mid 10s.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy. Morning lows in the mid single-digits. Afternoon highs in the mid 20s.
Sunday: Scattered snow showers. Morning lows near 20. Afternoon highs in the low 30s.
