Two new research studies, published in the Journal of Nutrition and the International Journal of Circumpolar Health, (IJCH) have shown that more than half of Inuit pre-school aged children in Nunavut, Canada, are not receiving adequate amounts of their daily nutritional needs.
Data for the reports was collected as part of the Inuit Health Survey for International Polar Year, held in 2007-2008. That year marked the occasion's third occurrence since it was first created as international research collaboration in 1882.
The study published in the Journal of Nutrition is based on data collected from 1,901 households, while the IJCH study is based on information collected from 388 participants, focusing more on the dietary habits of preschoolers.
According to dietary health surveys conducted in 16 communities over 2007-2008, 56 per cent of Nunavut's Inuit households with a young child were determined to be "child food insecure." These rates were ten times higher than the national average, as reported in the Canadian Community Health Survey. In the national survey, approximately five per cent of households were experiencing child food insecurity.
Seven on out of 10 Inuit households with a young child between the ages of three and five in Nunavut were also deemed "food insecure."
Dr. Grace Egeland, is an associate professor at McGill University's School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition. She is also the lead author of both research studies.
There are "subtle changes in diet that over the long term can have negative consequences," said Dr. Egeland, adding that her teams' research should be used to help food insecure families improve their diets.
Food insecurity is linked with such conditions as low levels of education, household income and access to social assistance. In order to be considered food secure, families must be able to access both traditional foods and foods from markets.
In order to achieve this, says the ICJH study, there is a need for support systems and dietary changes to help families with young children.
In a related story on aboriginal health, the Ontario Office of the Chief Coroner released a 215-page report on factors contributing to 16 child and youth suicides on the Pikangikum First Nation reserve. The report states that there is an urgent need to ameliorate basic living condition in impoverished, remote areas in the northern part of the province. Basic infrastructure, including clean drinking water, a sewage system, schools and recreational facilities and health care, is lacking, the report found. Consequently, many vulnerable children and young adults feel a sense of hopelessness.
Over the period of 2006-2008, 16 children and young people aged 10 to 19 committed suicide, mostly by hanging themselves. Tragically, since July 15 alone, another five young people have done the same. The community's suicide rate is 36 times the national average.
What're more, 27 per cent of girls in grades three and four admitted to sniffing gasoline in order to get high. Truancy also tends to begin at age 10, particularly in households where the parents suffer from alcoholism and do not wake up in time to prepare their children for school. According to the report, the children's situation is made worse by not attending school, as "their best opportunity for adequate nutrition comes from the school, which provides two meals a day."
According to a 2007 report by the Standing Senate Committee on Human Rights entitled, Children: The Silenced Citizens, First Nations children also suffer disproportionately from poverty, youth criminal activity and child protection needs, as well as health problems, including malnutrition, drug use and suicide.
The report notes that health and addiction services are needed to help alleviate the community's social problems. Among its recommendations is to have "early childhood education programs to ensure that children are receiving valuable nurturing; nutritionally, physically and emotionally, that they might not otherwise receive."

The John C. Phillips Memorial Medal recognizes outstanding service in international conservation and commemorates the life and work of Dr John C. Phillips, a pioneer of the conservation movement.
Born in 1876, Dr Phillips specialized in Medicine and Zoology and made significant contributions to science, particularly in taxonomy and genetics. He was vitally concerned with international cooperation for the conservation of nature being closely involved with developing the early wildlife treaties. In his memory his friends established a Memorial Medal and entrusted the awarding of this recognition to IUCN. The Medal has been presented at every General Assembly and Congress since 1963.
Distinguished recipients of the Award have included HRH The Prince of the Netherlands, Indira Gandhi, HM Sultan Qaboos Bin Said of Oman, Professor E. O. Wilson, Dr Luc Hoffmann (pictured on the right receiving his award from former IUCN President, Yolanda Kakabadse in 2004) and Dr José Aristeo Sarukhán Kermez, each of whom have contributed their vision, wisdom and perseverance to furthering the global conservation cause.
Sir David Attenborough was honoured with the John C. Phillips Memorial Medal at the 2012 IUCN World Conservation Congress. The prize was awarded by the IUCN Council, on the recommendation of an award jury consisting of five serving members of the IUCN Constituency Committee.
A British naturalist and broadcaster, Sir David has reached the masses with his captivating programmes on natural history, creating awareness of the natural world and its vulnerability, and, over the course of the last 50 years, inspiring generations to protect and conserve our planet.
"IUCN is an organisation of enormous importance for all of us who care about the natural world. There is no other international organization quite like it, none which is quite so scientifically based, none whose compliments I would value more highly", said Sir David in a video message to the IUCN Congress.

Navigating regional landscapes with Jicarilla personal narrative
Interpretation of how prehistoric hunter-gatherers may have charted the landscape they inhabited is often based on the physical materials left behind. The potential exists to interpret Jicarilla narratives as providing mental templates for movement through and perception of their environments. Personal narratives may have facilitated remembering significant paths and passing this knowledge on to others. These narratives are rich resources that inform our understanding of how the Jicarilla, and perhaps prehistoric plains people before them, may have perceived and travelled through the complex eco-corridors that buffered the Pueblos, extending onto the plains of northern New Mexico and southeastern Colorado. This chapter examines whether specific Jicarilla Apache narratives encoded navigation patterns within oral tradition. Personal hunting narratives are examined as pathfinding mechanisms. Creation stories and ceremonial landmarks mentioned in the text are treated as points of significance on the landscape. Cognitive maps were developed that reveal a series of patterned movements, which may prove insightful in interpreting prehistoric movement and spatial construction.

Books: Around the World in 80 Trades
The trading of goods is the most traditional and ancient type of economy and is still used by many cultures around the world. In Around the World in 80 Trades (MacMillan), cultural exchange and fair-trade economist Conor Woodman puts his negotiating skills and bargaining wits to the test against some of the world's oldest trading cultures. Going all in, Woodman sold his house to finance this extraordinary journey that sees him trading camels from Sudan for coffee in Kenya, trading the coffee for South African red wine, and using the proceeds to purchase Chinese porcelain. Inspired by the various encounters along his route, Woodman concludes that, regardless of geographical, language, or cultural differences, the values of profit remain the same. Part travel writing and part journal of an undercover economist, Around the World in 80 Trades takes the reader on a journey of discovery of cultural exchange and the human story of how the complex modern macroeconomic system came to be: face-to-face exchange.

The Invisible Plane was Wonder Woman's primary mode of transportation for long distance travel.
Wonder Woman's first plane was a product of the Lansinarian Morphing Disk, gifted to her by the Lansinarians. The subterranean technology could transform into a number of transparent items, and both Diana and Hippolyta used it to create a plane during their tenures as Wonder Woman. The disc eventually lost sentience, and was locked in plane shape. It was, however, nonfunctioning.

text: The deployment of a client–server-based distributed intelligent system involves application development in both the network domain and the device domain. In the network domain, an application server (typically in the cloud) is deployed to execute the network applications. In the device domain, several Internet of Things (IoT) devices may be configured as, for example, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and interact with each other through the application server. Developing the network and the device applications are tedious tasks that are the major costs for building a distributed intelligent system. To resolve this issue, a low-code or no-code (LCNC) approach has been purposed to automate code generation. As traditional LCNC solutions are highly generic, they tend to generate excess code and instructions, which will lack efficiency in terms of storage and processing. Fortunately, optimization of automated code generation can be achieved for IoT by taking advantage of the IoT characteristics. An IoT-based distributed intelligent system consists of the device domain (IoT devices) and the network domain (IoT server). The software of an IoT device in the device domain consists of the Device Application (DA) and the Sensor Application (SA). Most IoT LCNC approaches provide code generation in the network domain. Very few approaches automatically generate the DA code. To our knowledge, no approach supports the SA code generation. In this paper, we propose DeviceTalk, an LCNC environment for the DA and the SA code development. DeviceTalk automatically generates the code for IoT devices to speed up the software development in the device domain for a distributed intelligent system. We propose the DeviceTalk architecture, design and implementation of the code generation mechanism for the IoT devices. Then, we show how a developer can use the DeviceTalk Graphical User Interface (GUI) to exercise LCNC development of the device software.

Ἀνδρεία, Τόλμα, Θράσος - Male and Female Courage in Classical Greek Literature
Sammanfattning: This thesis discusses the differences in the descriptions of and the attitudes towards female courage in the literature of the Classical period. Male authors of this period wrote extensively of the martial and virtuous courage of men, andreíā, yet in some instances instead labelled courage as tólma or thrásos. Tólma and thrásos are even more commonly used in descriptions of female courage, audacity or rashness. How these three words could be used in relation to men and women is discussed, and the fundamental belief of the Classical period that women were not capable of courage is encountered. As courage was outside the nature, phúsis, of a woman, her actions were always more likely to be viewed as tólma or thrásos. To what extent the literature of the period can reflect the lived experience of the ancient Athenian is unknown. However, it is concluded that literary works both impact and are impacted by social and cultural values, such as the view that women should not or could not be courageous.

June 10, 2010 A comparison of hockey leagues in Canada for 11-12 year old players finds that compared with leagues that do not allow body checking, those that do have an associated 3-fold increased risk of game-related injuries, including severe injuries and severe concussions, according to a study in the June 9 issue of JAMA.
"Ice hockey is a popular North American winter sport, with more than 550,000 registered youth players in Hockey Canada and more than 340,000 registered players in the USA Hockey Association in 2008-2009. Despite the advantages of sport participation, there is increasing concern regarding the frequency of ice hockey injuries in youth," the authors write. They add that recent attention has been focused on the increased frequency of concussive head injuries in youth hockey. It is the most common type of specific injury, accounting for more than 15 percent of all injuries in 9- to 16-year-old players, according to background information in the article.
Internationally, there are different regulations regarding the age at which body checking is introduced in ice hockey. In the United States, body checking is introduced in all leagues for the age group 11-12 years, but leagues not permitting body checking exist through all ages, up to the leagues for 15-16 year-olds. In Canada, the youngest age group in which body checking is permitted is Pee Wee (ages 11-12 years). In the province of Quebec, however, Bantam (ages 13-14 years) is the youngest age group in which body checking is permitted.
Carolyn A. Emery, Ph.D., B.Sc.P.T., of the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and colleagues examined whether the risk of concussion and injury differed for youth ice hockey players in a league that permits body checking vs. a league that does not. The study was conducted in Alberta and Quebec during the 2007-2008 Pee Wee ice hockey season and included players (n = 2,154) from teams in the top 60 percent of divisions of play. Among the outcomes measured was the rate for gameand practice-related injuries and concussions.
Seventy-four Pee Wee teams from Alberta (n = 1,108 players) and 76 Pee Wee teams from Quebec (n = 1,046 players) completed the study. There were a total of 241 injuries (78 concussions) reported in Alberta and 91 injuries (23 concussions) reported in Quebec. For game-related injuries, the Alberta vs. Quebec incidence rate ratio (comparison of the risk of injury in the two leagues) was 3.26 (n = 209 and n = 70 for Alberta and Quebec, respectively]) for all injuries; 3.88 (n = 73 and n = 20) for concussion; 3.30 (n = 51 and n = 16) for severe injury (time loss, greater than 7 days); and 3.61 (n = 14 and n = 4) for severe concussion (time loss, greater than 10 days).
"The estimated absolute risk reduction (injuries per 1,000 player-hours) that would be achieved if body checking were not permitted in Alberta was 2.84 for all game-related injuries, 0.72 for severe injuries, 1.08 for concussion, and 0.20 for severe concussion. There was no difference between provinces for practice-related injuries," the authors write.
"Among 11- to 12-year-old ice hockey players, playing in a league in which body checking is permitted compared with a league in which body checking is not permitted was associated with a 3-fold increased risk of all game-related injuries, concussion, severe injury, and severe concussion. These findings may have important implications for policy decisions related to body checking in youth ice hockey. The public health implications associated with injury in Pee Wee hockey in which body checking is permitted are significant."
"Future research should compare the injury and concussion risk in the next age group of play (Bantam, ages 13-14 years), in which players in one cohort will have 2 years of body checking experience prior to Bantam participation. This research can inform the development and rigorous evaluation of prevention strategies to reduce the risk of injury in this population of youth ice hockey participants," the authors conclude.

Jinan new fence is a kind of profile material which is processed by machine pressing, painting, bending and so on. It is suitable for construction site, road maintenance and construction site. It is a kind of light-weight and external barrier plate. Its fire-proof, waterproof, moisture-proof and light weight are widely used. As a new type of enclosure, new color steel is widely used in construction projects of construction units. So what are the advantages of the new color steel enclosure? How to install it? Let's have a look with Jinan color steel plate manufacturer today!
1. Before the installation of the new type of enclosure, the lower foundation for brick masonry or concrete pouring and tamping is usually formed in the civil engineering. The guardrail can be fixed in the middle part of the lower foundation by means of mechanical expansion bolt, chemical screw inspection, etc. for straight-line uniform distribution.
2. If the lower foundation of the new color steel enclosure has not been formed, it is suggested to increase the length of the column steel lining and embed it in the wall directly, and then the formal construction can be carried out after the wall maintenance period; or the prefabricated embedded parts are laid in the wall plane and then the column steel lining is welded with the embedded parts by electric welding. The two methods are more solid than the bolt connection, but pay attention to the straight line and horizontal line in the preset.
3. The spacing of column steel lining shall be consistent with the design size to ensure that the pre assembled semi-finished products can be connected with it.
4. Pull two parallel lines at the upper and lower limits of the whole section of the straight line distance as the installation and adjustment benchmark. Ensure the straightness of the upper and lower ends after the completion of guardrail installation.
5. The horizontal and vertical steel linings of the guardrail have been installed and connected before leaving the factory, and the reinforcement fittings of each bearing point have also been installed in place. Only the horizontal linings of the guardrail and the column need to be connected and fixed during the site construction.

Metal puzzles are a fun and challenging way to test your brain. But after hours of working through the same puzzle with no results, you may feel a little stumped! If you're desperate for a solution, a puzzle guide might be your best bet! The P-shaped, horseshoe ring, and double-M puzzle are among the most common metal puzzles—once you've mastered these 3 puzzles, you'll be ready to work through any puzzle design on your own!
Part 1 of 3:
Working Through a P-Shaped Puzzle
 1. 1
 Grab one end of each P-shaped ring with both of your hands. Hold the puzzle as evenly as possible to prevent twisting the puzzle the wrong way while you work. Align the puzzle horizontally before you begin twisting it, with both ends of the P-shaped rings facing outwards.[1]
 - The two Ps should make something resembling a "W" shape before you begin twisting them.
 2. 2
 Turn your left P-shaped ring down. Then, loop the right ring around the upper "P" loop of the left ring. Your two P-shaped rings should look stacked on top of each other and mirroring each other at the loops.[2]
 - The rings should resemble a heart shape at this stage.
 3. 3
 Pull the right ring from the top and through the left loop. As you string the right ring through the left loop, it should slide off once you reach the bottom end. Once the two rings are separated, you have completed the puzzle.[3]
 - Set them down somewhere you won't forget to prevent losing them.
 4. 4
 Slide one ring through the "P" loop of the other ring to reset the puzzle. To prevent losing either ring and to put the puzzle together again, insert one ring through the top loop of the other ring. Pull the first ring all the way through the second ring, then turn the second ring up to secure both in place.
Part 2 of 3:
Beating a Horseshoe Ring Puzzle
 1. 1
 Hold the ring up evenly in front of you. Align the ring as evenly and as tightly as you can. Avoid holding one end of the right higher or lower than the other to prevent the ring from twisting or tangling as you work on it.[4]
 2. 2
 Twist one horseshoe in a counterclockwise direction. Keep the metal ring in-between the two rings. Continue twisting it until the ring is tight between the two rings and you cannot twist the horseshoe any further.[5]
 3. 3
 Bend and align the two horseshoes. Push the two horseshoes together into the middle of the chain until it bends in half. Line up the horseshoes as evenly as possible, allowing the ring to fall to the bottom of the horseshoes.[6]
 4. 4
 Slide the ring up and off of the horseshoe. Grab hold of the metal ring and lift it up through 1 side of the horseshoes. If the horseshoes are aligned, the ring should come off without forcing it. Check the horseshoe alignment if your ring appears stuck or you cannot locate an opening at the top of the horseshoes.[7]
 5. 5
 Re-align the horseshoes to put the puzzle back together. When you're ready to put the puzzle together again, twist and bend the chain in half to align the horseshoes back together. Drop the ring through one end of the horseshoes, then fold the horseshoes back up and twist 1 horseshoe in the opposite direction to secure the ring.
Part 3 of 3:
Solving a Double M Puzzle
 1. 1
 Lift one double M ring above the other ring. Both double M rings have a large curve around the top of the ring. Position your rings so that 1 ring is facing with their curve up and the other is facing downward in the opposite direction.[8]
 - Because the pieces are identical, they should look like a reflection of each other.
 2. 2
 Turn the rings at a 90-degree angle. Lift the bottom ring up through the top ring's side, then tilt them sideways at a 90-degree angle. The two ring curves should still be facing in opposite directions.[9]
 3. 3
 Slide the bottom piece up through the top piece's curve. Keep the rings even and at the 90-degree angle to prevent twisting or complicating your puzzle. When you have reached the top, make the bottom ring aligned with the middle of the top ring's curve.[10]
 4. 4
 Lower the bottom ring through the middle of the top ring's "M." Turn both rings upright again and slide the bottom ring down through the top ring's "M." If you have aligned the rings correctly, it should go through the middle without twisting or catching.[11]
 5. 5
 Insert one ring through the other ring's "M" to put the puzzle together again. To attach the two rings together again, raise one ring through the middle of the other ring's "M." Then, twist the rings at a 90-degree angle and slide it over the top curve and to the bottom of the ring. This will secure the rings together for storage.

Practicing darts while lucid dreaming can improve your game... but only if you're focused.

Image: Flickr/Shannon KringenLike most sports, the more darts you throw, the better you get at hitting the target. But do you *have* to be physically throwing the dart, or is just mentally throwing the dart sufficient? As confusing as that question might be, it's what these scientists studied by having participants throw darts while lucid dreaming, and testing whether these "practice sessions" made them better at darts in real life. And it worked! But (obviously) only if the dreamers weren't distracted while "practicing". Finally, a cheap way to practice for my next speed eating contest!Improvement of darts performance following lucid dream practice depends on the number of distractions while rehearsing within the dream - a sleep laboratory pilot study. "In a lucid dream, the dreamer is aware of the dream state and can deliberately practice motor skills. Two field studies indicated that lucid dream practice can improve waking performance in simple motor tasks. The present pilot study investigated the effect of lucid dream practice in a controlled sleep laboratory setting, using a pre-post design with dart throwing in the evening and morning. The experimental group practiced darts in lucid dreams. Because some participants were distracted during lucid dream practice, the group was divided into lucid dreamers with few (n = 4) and many distractions (n = 5). Change of performance was compared to a physical practice group (n = 9) and a control group (n = 9), showing a significant interaction (P =.013, η2 =.368). Only the lucid dreamers with few distractions improved (18%) significantly over time (P =.005, d = 3.84). Even though these results have to be considered preliminary, the present study indicates that lucid dream practice can be an effective tool in sports practice if lucid dreamers find ways to minimise distractions during lucid dream practice. Moreover, the study emphasises the necessity to investigate lucid dream practice experiences on a qualitative level." Related content: What do Republicans dream about?

The website, Testsquad.org, undertook the job of determining the differences between performance testing and stress testing. It described performance testing as testing performed to figure out how quickly one aspect of a system performed under a given workload or source. The purpose of such testing was to ensure that the system runs according to the required response time performance specifications and to determine system time thresholds and bottlenecks. Performance testers were responsible for creating a workload that matched the production environment.
TestSquad.org described stress testing as testing done to figure out the stability of a system. Testing involved going above and beyond normal operational capacity, such as piling on loads that might cause a crash in an effort to exhaust hardware resources. This testing was done to make the system stronger and better able to handle tough workloads or various attacks.


What is the chemical resistance of Findenser?
General guidance
Findenser is resistant to the majority of solvents and splash-resistant to dilute acids and alkalis at room temperature. Extended exposure to acids or alkalis will attack the outer metal surface of the Findenser. It is important to clean off any chemical spills immediately after they occur.
Further detail
The inner body of Findenser and the cone/socket, i.e. the wetted parts that come into contact with the substance being evaporated during normal use, are borosilicate glass 3.3, which has very good chemical resistance. (See TB 101 Glass Technical Data sheet available here for further details.)
The metal finned jacket is anodised aluminium and the plug and seal are acetal and HT silicone.
Please consider the chemical compatibility of your chemicals with these materials. You can consult chemical resistance tables online.
It is not feasible for our R&D Laboratory to test Findenser with every possible chemical, so we cannot provide data.
As well as wiping off any spills, ensure there is not a significant concentration of corrosive chemical vapours in the air around the Findenser (e.g. by using the Findenser within our guidelines, so the solvent is retained in the Findenser/flask).
There is an advised cleaning protocol detailed in the FAQ entry, 'Should I clean my Findenser? If yes, how?'

Foxhunting: What limits fox numbers in Britain?
The major recorded cause of fox mortality in Britain is collision with vehicles, followed by culling. However, fox control appears to limit fox numbers only at a local level and all the studies that have looked at the effect of over-winter culling on fox densities the following spring have found culling to be ineffective in reducing the breeding population.
Two field studies, in Scotland and in Wales respectively, found that the more foxes were killed in winter, the higher the number of foxes tended to be in the following spring. Thus over-winter culling seems to be counter-productive, attracting immigrant foxes from surrounding areas. Recently, a modelling study confirmed the results of these two field studies.
A modelling study
A study used computer simulations to model the impact of different culling practices on fox numbers in a large region (1,600 km2). Of four methods of fox control (hunting with hounds, winter shooting, culling at the den and fertility control) the most effective at reducing fox populations was found to be culling at the den, which eliminates the mother with her cubs and winter shooting, which removes dispersing individuals. Both methods however, were effective only at very high culling levels (>80%), which are unfeasible for large areas. None of the methods was very effective at reducing fox numbers because immigrating foxes from other areas quickly replaced dead foxes.
Question & Answer
TopIf road collisions and culling do not, what limits fox numbers?
Foxes are organised in social groups that defend a territory against other foxes. The size of these territories is related to the availability of food both in space (how dispersed the food is) and time (according to annual/seasonal variations). As a consequence, the size of territories varies from 0.1 km2 in urban environments to 40 km2 or more in upland regions.
So, at a local level the numbers of foxes present is related to the amount and availability of food. At a local level, disease outbreaks are also likely to be an important factor in regulating fox numbers. At a national level however, food availability is unlikely to limit fox numbers. It is likely that social factors have the largest effect on regulating fox numbers at a national level.

Modern corporations are increasingly looking for near real-time analytics and insights to make actionable decisions. To help organizations understand more about the benefits of ClickHouse, we will focus on how you can achieve sub-second analysis in Excel with Kyligence Tiered Storage.

Why you will be interested
This article is based on the benchmark dataset of the retail industry, which contains over 100 MILLION rows in the transaction table, I will operate with dimensions and measures in Excel pivot to compare the query performance among Object Storage, Base Index and Tiered Storage.

Why Excel
Microsoft Excel is, undoubtedly, the most popular spreadsheet software in the market. Each iteration of this software gives the users a better tool for their statistical needs.
PivotTable in Excel is a powerful tool to calculate, summarize, and analyze data that allows you to see comparisons, patterns, and trends in your data.

Why ClickHouse
ClickHouse is an open-source, OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) database originally developed by the company Yandex, for the needs of its Metrica solution (similar to Google Analytics). Yandex is the first search engine used in Russia.

ClickHouse was developed with a simple objective: to filter and aggregate as much data as possible and as quickly as possible. Similar to other solutions of the same type (eg. Druid, Pinot), ClickHouse uses a column-oriented model for data storage. It also relies on various parallelization and vectorization mechanisms to take the most advantage of multi-core architectures. Hence, Clickhouse can support data volumes of several petabytes.

Let's start with Kyligence Cloud
First, I used Kyligence Cloud, if you also like to try Kyligence cloud, you may visit Kyligence to get a free trial. In order to analyze data, it is necessary to import data. I used a 100 million rows dataset which can fully exhibit strong query performance of ClickHouse.

kyligence Data Import interface
Data Import interface
The SSB (Star Schema Benchmark) dataset is designed to measure the performance of database products in support of classical data warehousing applications and is based on the TPC-H benchmark.There are 5 tables in the SSB dataset - table sampling is turned on by default. With sampling I can get statistical information of the entire dataset.

MDX
After building the model, let's explore MDX in Kyligence Cloud.

I need to set a name for MDX dataset. Here, the dataset was Kyligence Cloud model.

You could even define more complicated relationships among MDX datasets.

How to Gain Power
Power is the most relatively objective measure of your account's strength, and as a result, gaining power is one of the primary goals while playing Mobile Strike.
Gaining power can be done in multiple different ways.
Methods of permanently increasing your power include:
Base missions are completed when the player completes some sort of assigned task, such as building an oil well and leveling it up for the first time. A base mission is awarded each time you complete something assigned by Mobile Strike, including constructing buildings, completing research, and so on. They can be claimed, or completed in the lower left of your base view. Each one adds commander XP and power, typically according to the difficulty of the mission. Players often wait until they level up their Headquarters to claim the missions so that they can maximize the XP bonus from each one once they have a higher level Hall of Heroes. This is done because the XP bonus conferred rises as the Hall of Heroes rises in level.
-Increasing Your Commander Level
Increasing your commander level can be done by earning experience points (XP). XP can be earned by battling with your commander present (either attacking or defending), completing research, base missions as mentioned above, completing research, attacking rebel targets, and completing base missions. The power from your commander can be taken away if he or she is eliminated, but this loss can be negated if you resuscitate him or her using a Medical Kit. Using a Medical Kit will save your power, and all of your Commander XP. So in a way, it is permanent power gained, but also could be considered temporary if you're splitting hairs.
Completing research adds power and can unlock more troops, traps, increase resource production, and many other things. It cannot be reduced or taken away. As mentioned above, completing research also awards XP for your commander.
Methods of temporarily increasing your power include:
Once built, buildings add power on their own, as well as triggering the completion of a base mission the first time you construct them. The power awarded (aside from the completed base mission) can be removed by deconstructing the building, however.
-Training Troops and Traps
Sort of self-explanatory. The more troops and traps you train, the more your power will rise. If the troops are killed or injured, or your traps are destroyed, your power will drop accordingly. If you heal any injured troops, your power will rise according to how many/what type you heal.

The National Science Center, or NSC, is now training kids to stay safe from cyber attack malware when they're surfing the web or using email and cell phones. A new online game called Cyber Swarm Defenders is targeted to 6th-8th grade students and is also appropriate for younger students.
The game is part of the NSC's newest Cyber Ops education outreach program. The NSC is a public-private partnership between the U.S. Army and NSC, Inc., that uses its resources to stimulate and increase science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, known as STEM, proficiency in U.S. students, especially those in grades 4-9.
"Anything we can do to make the young students of our country understand the cyber threat and get them excited about STEM technologies has a big payoff," said Ron Ross, chairman of the NSC.
"Educating students about cyber security threats and how to counteract them is imperative," said Mike Krieger, the Army deputy chief information officer, who serves as the secretary of the Army's proponent for the NSC. He also serves as the co-chairperson for the NSC's Partnership Executive Committee, which provides overall direction and oversight for the NSC.
Cyber Swarm Defenders is deployed through the social networking site, which was built for children ages 13 and under. Kid-safe requirements are built in, including a parental control feature. This tower-defense strategy game integrates cyber security education and "learn to earn" mini-exercises. Students earn points, badges and game coins as they strengthen their defenses to advance through the game levels.
"Installing the game on a social network site allows us to reach a variety of students and an existing community of users," said Krieger.
To access the game from the NSC's website and click on the Cyber Swarm banner button. Or, go directly to this site. To play, participants must first register on jabbersmack–which is not accessible on some older versions of browsers.
"Our additional focus on cyber threats also significantly enhances the value proposition of the NSC Partnership," Ross said.
Created by Congress in 1985, the NSC 's outreach programs include online teacher tools, two 18-wheeler Mobile Discovery Center vans, Junior ROTC STEM Outreach activities, and Cyber Ops. In addition to the new game, the Cyber Ops program links to a Malware Comic Book and Malware Mystery game that are also appropriate for older students.

The Fahai Temple (Chinese: 法海寺; pinyin: Fǎhǎi Sì) is Ming Dynasty Buddhist temple located at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain, about two kilometers to the north-east of Moshikou, Shijingshan District, Beijing, China.
Construction of the Fahai Temple started in the 4th year of reign of the Ming Emperor Zhengtong (1439 A.D.) and was completed in the 8th year of his reign (1443).
The most distinguishing part of Fahai Temple is the Ming Dynasty frescoes. The total area of the frescoes is 236.7 square meters. Comparing with other famous frescoes in China, such as the Yongle Palace frescoes and the Dunhuang frescoes, Fahai Temple's well-preserved frescoes are also notable in the depiction of figures, subtlety of patterns and the craft methods.

The fuel pump is a crucial component in any vehicle's fuel system, which delivers gasoline to the engine. Unfortunately, like all parts, it can wear out over time and require replacement, which can come at a cost.
On average, fuel pump replacement cost range from $1,134 to $1,301, which varies on make and model, location, and the type of fuel pump needed. Some signs indicating fuel pump replacement are loss of power, decreased fuel efficiency, and more.
In this Dbd guide, we have included all the information on the signs indicating the fuel pump replacement and fuel pump replacement price. To find out all the new fuel pump prices, we consulted with professional mechanics.
What is a fuel pump?
A fuel pump is a component of a car's fuel system that pumps fuel from the fuel tank to the engine. Its primary function is to provide fuel at the right pressure to the engine's fuel injector.
After that, it sprays the fuel into the engine cylinders for combustion. Here are some important points to keep in mind:
- The fuel pump supplies fuel from the fuel tank to the engine.
- The fuel pump ensures fuel is delivered at the correct pressure for efficient combustion.
- A malfunctioning fuel pump can cause issues with the engine's tune-up. It leads to poor performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
- The fuel pump works along with the fuel injector to provide the right amount of fuel to the engine for combustion.
- If the fuel pump fails, the fuel pressure in the fuel system may drop, causing the engine to stall or not start at all.
How much does a fuel pump replacement cost?
When it comes to car maintenance, fuel pump repair or replacement is a task that may need to be done. The cost of fuel pump replacement varies depending on several factors, such as the car's make and model, location, and the type of fuel pump needed.
In the United States, the average cost of fuel pump replacement expenses ranges from $1,134 to $1,301.
The cost may increase if the car requires a high-performance fuel pump or if the fuel pump is difficult to access, which can add labor costs.
Additionally, if the faulty fuel pump has caused damage to the fuel injectors or fuel lines, the replacement cost may increase. In some cases, a fuel system flush may also be necessary, adding to the overall cost.
When it comes to replacing a fuel pump, labor costs are a significant factor to consider, which range from $165 to $208.
The job typically takes a few hours, and the mechanic's hourly rate will depend on their experience level. The location of the repair shop also determines the hourly rate.
Fuel pumps are available in different types in the market, including mechanical, electrical, and turbine pumps. The cost of these pumps varies based on their features, brand, and quality. On average, the fuel pump parts range from $970 to $1,093.
When buying parts for your vehicle, there are two main options. OEM fuel pump is produced by the same manufacturer that made the parts for your vehicle when it was originally built.
These parts are typically more expensive, but they are guaranteed to be of high quality and designed specifically for your vehicle. Ford, "Fuel Pumps, … Continue reading
Aftermarket fuel pump, on the other hand, is made by third-party manufacturers and is often cheaper. While they may not be the same quality as OEM parts, they can be a good option for those on a budget.
When should you replace the fuel pump?
If you own a car, it is important to know the signs of a failing fuel pump.
If the pump fails, your car won't start or might stall while driving. Here, let us discuss the signs that indicate a failing fuel pump and when you should consider replacing it:
Difficulty starting the engine
A failing fuel pump can cause your car to have difficulty starting. If you have trouble starting your car or it takes several tries to get the engine going, it could be a sign that the fuel pump is failing.
When the fuel pump fails, your car engine may sputter or hesitate while accelerating. This is because the engine is not getting enough fuel to operate smoothly.
Loss of power
A failing fuel pump can also cause a loss of power while driving. Your car may not be able to accelerate properly or maintain a steady speed, especially when going uphill.
Fuel filter clogging
A clogged fuel filter can cause your fuel pump to work harder, leading to premature failure. If you notice a decrease in engine performance, it could be due to a clogged fuel filter.
Noisy fuel pump
If you hear a whining or humming noise coming from the gas tank, it could be due to a failing fuel pump. This noise may increase in volume as the car accelerates, indicating a more severe problem.
Electric fuel pumps are silent
Unlike mechanical fuel pumps, electric fuel pumps are typically quiet when they operate. If you notice a loud humming or whining sound coming from your fuel pump, it could be a sign that it is failing.
Decreased fuel efficiency
If you notice a decrease in fuel efficiency, it could be due to a clogged fuel filter or a failing fuel pump. A fuel pump that is struggling to supply fuel to the engine can cause the car to use more gas than usual, resulting in decreased fuel efficiency.
If you experience any of these signs, you should have your car inspected by a mechanic. They may recommend an engine tune-up or suggest replacing the fuel pump or fuel injector.
It is important to replace a failing fuel pump as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your car engine. In general, fuel pumps should be replaced every 100,000 miles, but this can vary depending on the make and model of your car.

How often do fuel pumps need to be replaced?
Fuel pumps typically need to be replaced every 100,000 miles. However, the lifespan of a fuel pump can vary depending on the make and model of the car and the quality of the fuel being used.
Can a failing fuel pump cause other engine problems?
Yes, a failing fuel pump can cause other engine problems. A lack of fuel delivery to the engine can result in engine misfires, loss of power, and other performance issues, leading to costly repairs if left untreated.
Can I replace my own fuel pump, or do I need a mechanic?
Replacing a fuel pump can be a complex and potentially dangerous process, as it involves working with fuel and electrical systems.
It's recommended to have a trained mechanic replace the fuel pump to ensure the job is done safely and correctly.
Are there any ways to extend the lifespan of a fuel pump?
Yes, there are ways to extend the lifespan of a fuel pump. Regular maintenance of the fuel system, including replacing the fuel filter and keeping the fuel tank at least a quarter full, can help prevent premature wear and tear on the fuel pump.
Does the cost of a fuel pump replacement vary by car make and model?
Yes, the cost of a fuel pump replacement can vary depending on the make and model of the car.
Some cars may require more expensive parts or a more complex installation process, resulting in a higher cost for the replacement.
In conclusion, the bad fuel pump replacement cost can vary depending on the make and model of the car, the cost of the replacement part, and the labor required for the installation.
We hope this Dbd guide on the cost of replacing the fuel pump was helpful.

Groundwater discharge into the sea occurs along many coastlines around the world in different geological settings and constitutes an important component of global water and matter budget. Estimates of how much water flows into the sea worldwide vary widely and are largely based on onshore studies and hydrological or hydrogeological modeling. In this study, we propose an approach to quantify a deep submarine groundwater outflow from the seafloor by using autonomously measured ocean surface data, i.e., 222Rn as groundwater tracer, in combination with numerical modeling of plume transport. The model and field data suggest that groundwater outflows from a water depth of ∼100 m can reach the sea surface implying that several cubic meters per second of freshwater are discharged into the sea. We postulate an extreme rainfall event 6 months earlier as the likely trigger for the groundwater discharge. This study shows that measurements at the sea surface, which are much easier to conduct than discharge measurements at the seafloor, can be used not only to localize submarine groundwater discharges but, in combination with plume modeling, also to estimate the magnitude of the release flow rate.

5th Element K-2 Class @ Rifle
Children in kindergarten through 2nd grade are invited to the Rifle Branch Library on Friday, February 22 from 12 to 2 p.m. to learn about segregation and how it affected all citizens and sparked the civil rights movement with Ms. Melissa Matis. Students will be introduced to the key events and figures of the Civil Rights Movement. Supplies and snacks will be provided. This class is limited to 25 children, and preregistration is required to attend this event. Please call _PHONE_ or go to _URL_ to preregister.


An Isolable Anionic Gallabenzene: Synthesis and Characterization Taichi Nakamura Katsunori Suzuki Makoto Yamashita 10.1021/acs.organomet.5b00310.s001 _URL_ An anionic gallabenzene was isolated and structurally characterized for the first time. The structure of gallabenzene in the crystal was isostructural with that of the recently reported anionic aluminabenzene. Structural parameters of the gallabenzene ring such as planar structure and unsaturated bond character without bond alternation were consistent with the structural criteria of the aromaticity. By DFT calculations of the gallabenzene, in addition to the presence of an ambiphilic contribution similar to the aluminum analogue, the plausible difference of the electronic structures between the galla- and aluminabenzenes due to the difference of electronegativity was also suggested. 2015-05-26 00:00:00 aluminabenzene Isolable Anionic Gallabenzene Structural parameters gallabenzene ring DFT calculations bond alternation ambiphilic contribution bond character aluminum analogue

Definition of Antitoxin
Antitoxin: An antibody capable of destroying microorganisms including viruses and bacteria.
An antitoxin provides passive immunity. For example, if a child gets whooping cough (diphtheria), an antitoxin prepared in horses against diphtheria may be useful in treatment. The antitoxin can only be of short-term value because the antibodies against diphtheria were made by the horse and the child is just the passive recipient of the antibodies.
The antitoxin is directed against a toxin, one of a number of poisons produced by certain plants, animals, and bacteria.
The term "toxin" is frequently used to refer specifically to a particular protein produced by some higher plants, animals and pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria. A toxin typically has a high molecular weight (as compared to a simple chemical poison), is antigenic (elicits an antibody response), and is highly poisonous to living creatures.
The word "toxin" comes from the Greek "toxikon" = arrow poison.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

A portable basketball goal can provide you and your family with the same amount of fun as an in-ground basketball system with much less hassle. Portable basketball goals come with a hollow base for support, so there is no need to worry about digging a hole or pouring concrete to secure the pole. Since portable basketball goals are free standing, they do require a secure base to ensure that the basket does not tip over and cause injury or damage.
Filling Your Base With Water
Many basketball goals come with 35 gallon bases that can be filled to ensure that it doesn't shift or fall during use or bad weather. Water is the simplest choice, as it is easily accessible to most homes. To quickly secure the basketball goal, use a hose to fill the base completely.
Filling Your Base With Sand
Filling the base with sand is the option suggested by most portable basketball goal manufacturers for a number of reasons. Most importantly, sand is much more dense and heavier than water, and therefore can create a more sturdy foundation for your basketball hoop. Sand weighs just over 13 pounds per gallon while water weighs just over 8, making it the more efficient and reliable option.
Making The Right Choice
Both sand and water will work, and both have their advantages and disadvantages. Water is likely more readily available. Sand is more expensive and filling your base with it can be a messy job, but it is more effective. Basketball hoop manufacturers warn against keeping water in the base during the winter months when there is a possibility it could freeze and damage the base. Water also evaporates, creating more of a danger of your hoop shifting or falling due to a lack of stability. Furthermore, a leak of sand will be much easier to spot.
A Word of Warning
Safety is the most important concern when determining how to anchor your basketball goal, and all basketball goal manufacturers warn against placing bricks, bags of sand or concrete on top of the base. Choosing to do this rather than taking the time to fill the base can cause lead to damage from the hoop falling, or serious injury to the people using the goal.

Monuments to Explore in Austria
In the centre of the Mozartplatz is the Mozart Monument, a statue of the composer by Ludwig Schwanthaler. The statue was to be unveiled in 1841 on the 50th anniversary of Mozart's death. However, this was delayed because a Roman mosaic had been found on the site selected for the statue. After the mosaic had been excavated, the statue was eventually unveiled on 4 September 1842. The marble pedestal on which the statue sits was donated by King Ludwig I of Bavaria.
The Mozart Monument in honor of the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Vienna has been located in the Burggarten in the 1st district of the inner city since 1953 . The memorial is right at the entrance opposite Eschenbachgasse and can be seen clearly from the Burgring .The 7.5 meter high monument was created by the architect Karl König and the sculptor Viktor Tilgner and on April 21, 1896, five days after Tilgner's death, on Albrechtsplatz unveiled.

dc.description.abstract Haitians in the United States represent the fourth largest immigrant population from the Caribbean. As in the case of many immigrant populations, Haitian immigrant adaptation has been challenged by social, political and economic factors, and as a result they have had to seek legal, health, and social services. According to the literature, help-seeking behaviors among Haitian immigrants have been associated with traditional indices of socioeconomic status, namely education, occupation, or income. This study takes a more in-depth look at the influence of social class by approaching it as cultural construct in the context of historical patterns of Haitian immigrant incorporation. Most Haitians arrived during the latter half of the 20th century in four successive waves, the 1957, 1970, 1980 and 1991 wave. Each of these waves of Haitian immigration represented a distinct context of departure and social class composition. A qualitative approach was used to obtain rich information on the role of help-seeking in the immigration and incorporation experience of Haitians from the perspective of immigrants who arrived during the four distinct waves of immigration. Individual and focused group interviews were conducted in English, Creole, and French with a purposive and snowball sample of 43 Haitian immigrants currently living in south Florida. Using a grounded theory approach, the analysis generated six categories related to the Haitian immigrant experience: orientation at time of arrival, establishment of social connections, issues of trust, generational effects, cultural constructs of social class, and perspectives on the help-seeking experience. Key findings emerged that identified the importance of social connections in Haitian help-seeking behaviors in the context of a complex Haitian social class construct imbedded in historical, political, and economic positioning. Specifically, across all immigration waves, regardless of social background--from the highly educated doctor who arrived in the 1950s to the rural peasant who arrived in the 1990s--Haitian immigrants identified an individual of Haitian descent residing in the United States on whom they relied for assistance in obtaining resources. This system of social connections reflected the social constructs of class existing in Haiti and remained a significant factor in Haitian immigrants' help-seeking behaviors during resettlement.

FoPat – Tackling Food Waste
Student | Anushritha Yernool Sunil
Faculty | Rebecca Welz
School of Design, Graduate Industrial Design
FoPat is a temperature sensitive indicator for food freshness. It takes the form of a flat label or a tie around band on the fruit or vegetable. It helps you store your food at the right temperature, and reduces food waste by indicating when your food actually spoils, unlike the uncertain expiry date labels.
The label is a color indicator for the freshness of food. The label reacts with the gases produced by the fruits and vegetables to change color from fresh orange to past best red. It is a food freshness indicator. This color indicating film gradually disintegrates to reveal a bumpy layer below. The tactile sensation indicates the expiry of food. Therefore, this label is also suitable for the visually impaired users. The other half of the label contains information about the barcode and origin of the produce. It also contains a NFC sensor to enable smartphone readings.
The other half is a peel off label which can be further lifted to reveal an underside information section. The underside provides valuable education about the fruit or vegetable.
This label replaces the existing label that is seen on fruits and vegetables in the retail stores. It does not overpower the surface of the fruit or vegetable. This design is meant to improve the technology and develop an active label that can : – Tackle food waste by providing a better and a direct date label mechanism. – Change consumer behavior by providing a playful underside information fold out and further build our connection with food.

|18th Century Dowser|
Witching, divining or dowsing has been used for centuries to locate water, oil, caves, precious metals, artifacts and treasure. Cave paintings depicting dowsing have been found in France, Spain and the Middle East.
The actual skill of dowsing is not hard to learn. L rods are easy to use and to explain. You can make your own from wire coat hangers. Simple cut off the hook and straighten out the wire. Make a bend about 4 inches in on the wire to create an L shape. The smaller part of the L will be the handle. Create another and you have two L rods.
|L rods held out|
Stand normally, hands at your side. Raise your arms to bend naturally at your elbows, with your forearms parallel to the ground. Hold each rod straight out. The rods should be held lightly in your hands. Do not place your thumbs over the bend in the rods. Now begin walking slowly and calmly toward the area you wish to test. When you step on a grave the rods should cross or swing apart. When you step off the grave, the rods should uncross or swing back to their former positions. Before you attempt to go into uncharted territory to divine graves, get your feet wet. Take your rods to a cemetery and practice the art of dowsing there.

A multi-site method to capture turnover in rare to common interactions in bipartite species networks
journal contributionposted on 2022-04-01, 00:58 authored by MV Henriksen, G Latombe, DG Chapple, SL Chown, Melodie McGeochMelodie McGeoch
Ecological network structure is maintained by a generalist core of common species. However, rare species contribute substantially to both the species and functional diversity of networks. Capturing changes in species composition and interactions, measured as turnover, is central to understanding the contribution of rare and common species and their interactions. Due to a large contribution of rare interactions, the pairwise metrics used to quantify interaction turnover are, however, sensitive to compositional change in the interactions of, often rare, peripheral specialists rather than common generalists in the network. Here we expand on pairwise interaction turnover using a multi-site metric that enables quantifying turnover in rare to common interactions (in terms of occurrence of interactions). The metric further separates this turnover into interaction turnover due to species turnover and interaction rewiring. We demonstrate the application and value of this method using a host–parasitoid system sampled along gradients of environmental modification. In the study system, both the type and amount of habitat needed to maintain interaction composition depended on the properties of the interactions considered, that is, from rare to common. The analyses further revealed the potential of host switching to prevent or delay species loss, and thereby buffer the system from perturbation. Multi-site interaction turnover provides a comprehensive measure of network change that can, for example, detect ecological thresholds to habitat loss for rare to common interactions. Accurate description of turnover in common, in addition to rare, species and their interactions is particularly relevant for understanding how network structure and function can be maintained.

If there is foam and soap powder residue in washing machine, refer to the suggestions below for step by step instructions.
The reason for foam in the washing machine is soap or another agent that has got into the machine.
- Foam is not a malfunction in your washing machine.
When your washing machine foams a lot, this may be due to:
- Adding too much soap
- A build up of soap powder residue in the machine caused by a adding too much soap and wash at low temperature.
- Capacity of the soap to prevent foam – soap type
- Washing the fabric with soap powder residue, e.g. cleaning rags with dishwashing detergent and similar
What you can do:
- Clean the machine – run repeated washes at the highest temperature without soap, until it does not produce any more foam.
- Clean the machine with washing machine cleaner. You may need to do this several times.
- Carefully follow the soap powder manufacturer's instructions on dosing
- Wash using a different brand of soap
- Run a boil wash regularly
- Use the extra rinse function
- Use cycles intended for the type of clothing
You may consider contacting the soap manufacturer for further advice and instructions for using the soap.
Foam in the washing machine is obviously not covered by warranty, as it is not a machine fault.
Examples of foam formation:
