Ram pressure correlations for aspirated cylinders
Scholz, Zachary James
MetadataShow full item record
Design of automobile cooling systems involves tradeoffs in the sizing of grille openings to provide adequate cooling airflow and the tendency to reduce grille opening size to decrease vehicle cooling drag and produce aesthetically pleasing designs. Air that enters the cooling system of an automobile is driven by two major sources, the freestream dynamic pressure resulting from the forward motion of the vehicle and the internal vacuum created by the underhood fan. The flow fields associated with both sources must be considered when assessing the cooling performance of a new automobile design. The current investigation focuses on characterizing the external or dynamic pressure induced flow through a parameter known as the ram coefficient. The investigation utilized an aspirated cylinder in cross-flow as an idealized representation of an automobile front end with grille openings. The pressure distribution on the upstream side of the cylinder model includes a stagnation point and a significant surface pressure gradient similar to those of an actual automobile front end fascia. Various sized openings machined into the side of the cylinder model simulated the grille openings in an automobile. A flexible hose connecting one end of the cylinder to a shop vacuum provided a simulation of the cooling air flow induced by a radiator fan. The primary advantage of the cylinder model is a dramatic reduction in the number of experimental influences on the ram coefficient. The elimination of the various underhood components simplifies the investigation process down to the most basic components, yielding accurate, repeatable results. Primary results are that the cylinder does provide a useful representation of automobile front end. These results verify the general trends seen in previous full scale model tests. Additionally, it was found that ram coefficients for single openings are determined by opening size and location relative to the external surface pressure distribution. It was also found that ram coefficients for combinations of openings can be predicted from knowledge of the performance characteristics of the individual openings.


Leche Merengada Recipe | Spanish-food.org

Leche Merengada
Origin: Spain
Leche merengada
Leche merengada or Spanish milk shake is a typical Spanish drink made with milk, egg whites and sweetened with sugar and aromatized with cinnamon. It's served very cold and in some cases part of the drink is frozen and with a texture similar to snow, making it the perfect summer drink. This is why it's normally served in ice-cream parlors in Spanish cities and "horchaterias" (shops where horchata, a typical Valencia drink, is sold in Valencia).
We don't know much about the origins of this popular drink, however it's a favorite of our grandparents, parents and children. It's normally consumed in summer as it's very refreshing.
Many children have among some of their fondest memories, those of when their grandparents took them to the town or neighborhood ice-cream parlor for a cone or a glass of leche merengada and would tell of their week's adventure while their faces and hair got smeared with the dessert.
Not only is leche merengada a tradition in itself, it also has it's own song:
Tengo una vaca lechera
no es una vaca cualquiera.
Me da leche merengada,
¡Ay! que vaca tan salada
Tolón, tolón. Tolón, tolón.
If you want to know the meaning of this song and many others we suggest a Spanish course in Spain. Songs and food are a great way of learning the Spanish language and they are often used as topics on such language courses.
In reality, this drink is considered a milk shake with egg white, although the basic recipe doesn't change, there are some variations. For instance, some cooks add a few espresso drops, lemon juice drops or vanilla. The recipe is really somewhere in between a milkshake and a milk sorbet. Often Spanish mothers will prepare the drink in the morning so that it has enough time to cool in the fridge or freezer before their children tuck into it. After a glass of it though, you might be thinking of making some more in the evening for the next day too!
Leche merengada has been one of the most popular and in demand drink in cafes in Madrid since the end of the 18th century and has appeared in many novels as summer drinks or ice-creams consumed by character, an example of this is Jacinto y Fortuna by Pérez-Galdós. Today it is still a staple recipe for any good Spanish cook book.
Fortunately, like many other Spanish food recipes, leche merengada is easy to make and uses common and easy to find ingredients. This means that it is a great one to make everyday or for special occasions. Furthermore, the ingredients are normally inexpensive which is great if you are on a tight budget yet still want to enjoy a little taste of Spanish cuisine.
Leche Merengada | Spanish Milk Shake
Leche Merengada
Ingredients (6 portions):
 - 1 liter of milk
 - 4 egg whites
 - 300 grams of sugar
 - 1 cinnamon branch
 - 1 lemon peel
 - a pinch of powdered cinnamon
 - Boil the milk for 5 minutes with the lemon's peel, the cinnamon branch and 250 grams.
 - Turn the stove off and let it cool
 - While the milk cools whisk the egg whites until they form peaks, you can add a few lemon drops, though it's not mandatory.
 - Add the remaining 50 grams of sugar and little by little pour the cold milk on the -meringue through a strainer
 - Put in the fridge if you want it liquid or in the freezer if you want to achieve an ice-cream like texture.
Some people leave the milkshake in the freezer for much longer in tubs so that it turns into ice cream. This means that the drink can serve as a dessert as well. In fact, you will find that a number of ice cream parlours in Spain do in fact have leche merengada ice cream in sale. Why not have a scoop!
Naturally, as an ice cold drink, this is perfect for hot summer days in Spain. But when you make it into an ice cream, it makes a great accompaniment to a piece of warm cake or tart, and can therefore be consumed all year round!

Alaska Court RecordsEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
District courts had jurisdiction over all civil and criminal matters in Alaska before statehood. Federal district judges were appointed as early as 1884. The entire territory had only one district, administered by a judge in Sitka, until 1903, when three districts were created with judges at Juneau, Saint Michaels, and Eagle City. The fourth district was added in 1909, and the four seats were placed in Juneau, Nome, Valdez (moved to Anchorage in 1943), and Fairbanks.
The areas served by these districts are as follows:
- Juneau, District 1: Southeastern Alexander Archipelago and the cities of Ketchikan, Wrangell, Sitka, and Juneau.
- Nome, District 2: North, including Nome and Barrow.
- Anchorage, District 3: South, including Anchorage, Kodiak, and the Aleutian Islands.
- Fairbanks, District 4: Central, including Fairbanks, Bethel, and Toksook Bay.
Since 1959 district court jurisdiction has been limited to minor civil and criminal matters such as issuing marriage licenses and arrest warrants, hearing misdemeanor cases, and acting as the temporary custodian of the property of deceased persons.
A superior court, a supreme court, and magistrate courts have also served Alaska since 1959.
The Family History Library does not have copies of any court records from Alaska. The Alaska State Archives has most of the territorial court records (except probate records) for the first district and some for the second and fourth districts. The archives has the court journals but not the complete case files for the first district.
The case files of the first district, the records of the third district (1900-59), and some miscellaneous records of the other districts are at the National Archives—Alaska Region. Copies of documents not at these two archives can be obtained by writing to the appropriate local clerk's office.

Title: The Pokémon GO search problem and its competitive analysis. Speaker: Marc van Kreveld, Utrecht University (_URL_

Abstract: After its introduction in the summer of 2016, Pokémon GO quickly became the most popular game around. The game requires players---called trainers---to walk outside to search for and catch Pokémon. Now that the first craze is over, it is time for scientists to analyze various aspects of the game. Since the game requires a mobile device with GPS and is (in part) essentially a search problem played on the streets, we can analyze it using competitive analysis. We define an abstraction of searching for Pokémon using a geometric graph and call it the Pokémon GO search problem. We show that for general geometric graphs, there is no constant competitive ratio to find a Pokémon. However, if the graph has convex faces only, or if the graph has constant-bounded geometric dilation, then there is an O(1)-competitive search strategy.

George Brew 'when he wasn't drunk or in prison'.)
The façade still standing today was designed by Emil Guenther, and for five years (including in our picture) all that was visible was a three storey façade and the side wall propped up with steel bracing after a fire destroyed the building in 2000. Given the ferocity of the fire, it's remarkable that the front of the building stayed standing. The Heritage Statement still describes it as a propped façade, but that's very outdated as in 2008 a new development was completed along with the adjacent Grand Hotel to restore the retail use and add condos on the upper floors (and two additional floors set back from the heritage element). The Grand was an earlier building, dating back to 1889, and the owner, Thomas J Roberts, was killed in while attending a card game in 1918, as we noted in an earlier post.
The owner of the new Terminus Hotel when it was built was William Rees Jones; one of six people called William Jones in the city in 1901. He was either born in England into a Welsh family (1901 census) or in Wales (1891 census), and he had arrived in Canada in 1858 when he would have been aged about 15. He was running the Terminus from 1890, buying it from Bill Blair. William Blair was from Maine, and he appears in very early Granville (pre Vancouver) street directories; the first we've found him in was in 1882 when he was running the Deighton House, built by 'Gassy Jack' many years earlier. Before he arrived in Granville he was in Victoria from 1877. Around 1884 he'd moved up the street to run a saloon at this location, with Blair's Hall at the back, where dances, meetings (and church services) were held. After he sold the bar, Blair became a general contractor.
In October 1901 the replacement building for the Terminus was announced. The original hotel and saloon weren't torn down; rather, they were moved to the rear of the site (which hadn't been redeveloped as a hall after the fire) to clear the space at the front for the new structure.
In what reads suspiciously like an 'advertorial' – but which was typical of the day for the thoroughness of the description, the Vancouver Daily Work of 22 March 1902 announced the completion: "On the Site of a Pioneer Water Street Hotel Rises a Complete Up-to-date Structure. Many people thought that the lot on which the Terminus hotel stood could not be made useable for a hotel. It was enclosed between high buildings on either side and the light was shut off. Since the days when Vancouver was a baby the Terminus had been there. It was one of the first hotels that reared itself phoenix – like above the ashes, and Mr. William, Jones hated to change the locality. He therefore decided that once again the house should arise, and he entrusted the work of making the plans to Emil B. Guenther. The result is that there stands today one of the most complete hostelries in Vancouver on the site of what was the old Terminus. The building has a brick front with stone finishings, with a series of bow windows on the front that give a view direct across the Inlet from the front and also a view each way east and west. The general contractor for the building was E. Cook, the well known contractor, whose foreman on the contract was George W. Maynard. The sub – contractors were: (including heaters in bar for hot water. Cope & Frey; heating, hot water, Leek & Co.; for fixtures, Robertson and Hackett: plumbing. W. Brown; painting. H. Miller; furnishing, Chas. Hach; bedding, Pioneer Mattress Factory, R. F. Campbell, manager.
The architect Emil Guenther, went to Seattle and Tacoma to see if anything had been overlooked. The result is that from his own ideas and what he learned abroad on the old site of the Terminus has arisen the most perfect hotel that is to be found of its kind on the const. It was enclosed on either side by high wholesale houses, and the greatest feature was to secure perfect light. This has been done by the judicious use of a skylight that takes in the whole roof. Through this it has been arranged that there is not a dark room in the house. The main entrance is from Water street, but on either side are entrances to the basement, in which are situated a barber shop and a day and night restaurant. The latter will be under the charge of Mr. W. McArthur. The dining room is connected by speaking tubes and bells with the bar, and that is in itself a credit to local workmanship, it is finished in polished oak with tile floor and gutter. The bar is 40 feet long and the back is designed in a series of arches with half – curved pilasters and capitals. The wainscoting is terra cotta cement with enamelled surface finishing, ensuring absolute sanitariness, and the walls and ceiling are finished in pressed steel in tastefully blended shades, making a complete poem in color. The kitchen is supplied with a flue 8 feet by 1 inches, clear to the top, so that it is impossible for any odor to reach the storeys above. The bedrooms are supplied with good, substantial furniture from the well known house of C. Hach, and all the beds have the "D. P." springs and the "Jumbo" soft mattresses. The house was open to the public today at 11 a.m., and is many ways as regards completeness and novelties not overlooking, for example, the electric water heaters supplied by Cope & Frey will be of interest to the public generally. Mr. Jones' confidence in the city is shown, by the fact that he has invested in this building $35,000. Old timers will remember the Terminus locality. Near it was our first church, and on the lot on which it stands was a building in which Sunday services were held in the early days. Those who were here in the old times will remember the gospel hall and will he pleased to know that the man who so freely gave his Premises for the carrying on of any good work in the early days has prospered."
This suggests Mr. Jones might have been a really 'old timer' in the city. There are hints of this elsewhere – a reference in the Archives notes of Major Matthews to "Dissolution of Partnership between William Jones and John Thomas ("Navvy Jack" Thomas – another Welshman), and "Partnership Notice" between William Jones and Joseph Mannion, published in Mainland Guardian, 5 April 1873." Indeed, looking for references to "Billy Jones" reveals more references to his early saloon, next door to the Granville House Hotel (which he had originally partnered with Mannion to acquire from Ebenezer Brown). In 1874 he was in partnership with Mannion. Despite this we haven't found any early directory references to William (or Billy) Jones in Granville. At least one interviewee thought he was an American. The first reference to the Terminus is in 1889 when Bill Blair was proprietor before William Jones bought it a year later. We have no idea what William Jones – assuming it's the same William Jones – did between the mid 1870s and buying the saloon in 1890, but he wasn't in Granville/Vancouver.
The new hotel's early history is recorded in the newspapers of the day; a drunk who tried to kick out all the panels of the hotel; underage drinkers identified by the police; theft of a visitor's bicycle wheel. A more serious case was a 1905 attempt to remove Mr. Jones's licence because he was present when his barman was serving drink 'after hours' when the curtains had been pulled to indicate the bar was closed. (It was during one of the periods in the city's history when the forces of temperance were trying to restrict the serious drinking that took place). W J Bowser, the lawyer defending the case successfully persuaded the Magistrate that it wasn't an intentional lapse of the law, as one drinker was resident in the hotel (and therefore a member of the household who could legitimately drink at any time) and the other was understood to be resident – although he had in fact moved to a different establishment a short while before. In 1906 the Daily World announced "WATER ST. HOTEL SOLD. S. Swoboda, mayor of Wetaskiwin, Alberta, has purchased the Terminus hotel, Water street, from William Jones. Mr. Swoboda has no intention of starting in the hotel business, hut he talks of selling out his extensive interests in Alberta, and coming to the coast. The Terminus is one of the oldest hotels in the city."
In February 1908 the hotel was mentioned several times when a patron was stabbed. In 1909 the hotel, with 33 rooms, was offered for sale again. Leased at $250 a month, it was offered for sale at $33,000. The licensee, George Patton, was in court later that year, accused of allowing gambling on the premises. The attempts to sell the property don't seem to have been successful, or Mr Jones had second thoughts as W Jones, was still the owner in 1912 when he had R H Atkinson design an alteration to the store here. The 1911 street directory shows that he wasn't running the hotel by then; that was R Fiddler and James Thompson. Thompson had run the hotel on his own from 1905 (although he was mis-identified as Johnson that year), but William Jones was shown still living in the hotel, but from 1906 he was in retirement.
At some point the hotel ceased offering the full hotel facilities:


Severe ME
Around one in four people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), are house bound or bed bound. People with severe ME need help to care for themselves and complete minimal daily tasks (e.g. cleaning teeth). They can experience significant cognitive impairment and may depend on a wheelchair for mobility.
In very rare circumstances, complications from ME for people in severe subgroups has resulted in death. In Australia, Alison Hunter died in 1996, aged 19, from complications arising from ME, which included seizures, paralysis, gastrointestinal paresis and overwhelming infection.
The stories below focus on the challenges and experiences of people with severe ME.

The solar day over the course of February. From bottom to top, the black lines are the previous solar midnight, sunrise, solar noon, sunset, and the next solar midnight. The day, twilights (civil, nautical, and astronomical), and night are indicated by the color bands from yellow to gray.
Humidity
We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.
The chance that a given day will be muggy in Gilbert is essentially constant during February, remaining around 0% throughout.
For reference, on August 14, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 26% of the time, while on January 1, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.

Wind
This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10 meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages.
The average hourly wind speed in Gilbert is essentially constant during February, remaining within 0.1 miles per hour of 6.7 miles per hour throughout.
For reference, on April 30, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 7.4 miles per hour, while on August 16, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 5.5 miles per hour.
Average Wind Speed in February

The visual identity of the European
The visual identity of the European Social Charter, created by the Italian artist Luca Rimini, is always published together with the logo of the Council of Europe. It illustrates three faces which unite to form a hand, as a symbol of unity, solidarity and cooperation. The hand may also be seen as offering protection and as being a vector of control. This reflects what the Charter is about and what the European Committee of Social Rights is seeking to achieve – the implementation of human social rights through the efforts of the States Parties to this instrument, and subject to compliance within a legal framework monitored by an independent body of a judicial nature.


This project is read-only.
Project Description
Arduino sketches (and UWP apps), focused upon scanning a phone keypad as input (Bluetooth serial) to a UWP app running on a phone, desktop or IoT-Core device.
About
These projects have been developed using an Arduino Uno (actually a Freetronics EtherTen). They are elements of a bigger Universal Windows Project to remote control a Windows 10 phone camera app (coming). These are being documented on my blog on embedded101,com (under development).
FYI : Arduino Uno Layout
Projects
 1. UWP Generic Bluetooth Serial App
A Simple Bluetooth Serial Terminal for testing sketches 2, 3 and 4
 1. Bluetooth Echo Sketch
Using pins 2 and 3, (RX, TX) receives characters over Bluetooth (serial) and adds then to a string. When reception completes with null char or MAXSTRING is reached, the collection is completed and the string is sent back. Uses the Arduino SoftwareSerial Library. Used the Freetronics Bluetooth Shield but could use others connected to pins 2 and 3. (The Freetronics one has jumpers to simplify selection).
 1. Event Keypad Sketch.
Scans a telephone keypad. Captures keypress, release and hold events. Based upon the Arduino Keypad Library. See details for pins etc. Uses an off-the-shelf phone keypad
 1. Bluetooth Keypad Sketch
This project combines the first two. That is a telephone keypad is scanned and its keypress events (up, down and hold) are transmitted over Bluetooth serial.
 1. UWP KeypadUWPLib
An event driven Phone Keypad library. Includes KeyDown, KeyUp and KeyHoldling events to which event handlers can be attached in apps that use this library. Also includes a mechanism to fire those events from keypad scanning software. No hardware specific code though.
 1. UWP SoftKeypad Test App
A simple app to test the KeypadUWPLib. Implements a keypad as part of the app, which when pressed actions the keypad events. Some limitations imposed by lack of KeyUp event with XAML Buttons.
 1. UWP BTSerialLib
A modularisation of the Generic Bluetooth Serial App extracting out all of the UI functionality. Received serial messages are interpreted as Phone Keypad events. Depends upon KeypadUWPLib as it fires the keypad events based upon received messages.
 1. UWP BTKeypad App
The UI front end of Generic Bluetooth Serial App that uses BTSerialLib to implement the same Generic Bluetooth Serial App Bluetooth functionality with the phone keypad context. Exemplifies the keypad event handlers (ie Requires KeypadUWPLib as well).
 1. UWP KeyPadKeysUWPLib
Abstracts the Keypressed event further by interpreting it in terms of the actual key press. Has a delegate for each key which can be programmatically set by the dependant app as the function (implemented in the app) to call when each key is pressed. Conceptually, sits on top of KeypadUWPLib.
 1. UWP BTKeypad App 2
As per "UWP BTKeypad App" but calls each key's delegate when pressed rather than capturing the Key event.
Uses KeyPadKeysUWPLib as well as BTSerialLib and KeypadUWPLib.

More Water Being Released from Folsom Dam
In an effort to keep salt water from entering the Delta, Nimbus and Folsom Dam are releasing an extra 2,000 cubic feet of water per second from each of the dams. In order to keep fresh water fish alive in the delta, water is needed to flow from the mountains, or else salt water creeps in to the delta. Dry weather in recent weeks have kept the water flow minimal. Folsom Dam is currently releasing 5,500 cubic feet of water per second.

Reawakened Beauty: Jordan River - Exhibition Art Work Views
Reawakened Beauty exhibits 30 platinum prints that document the Jordan River from its source at Utah Lake to its mouth at the Great Salt Lake. Once a natural boundary between civilization and the 'Wild West,' the river has both shaped the Salt Lake Valley and been altered by its urban expansion. In Crane's photographs, we see that some parts of the river have been left seemingly natural, while others reveal evidence of civil engineering, re-routing and pollution. Exhibition held in the Street Level Gallery space.

5 Steps to Deal with the Torrent of Data Requests in Regulated Industries
Steps to Deal with the Torrent of Data Requests in Regulated Industries
The Covid-19 pandemic has given a huge blow to economies worldwide. Quick responses from regulated industries, including the public sector and healthcare have been vital in suppressing the death toll, but have created a gateway for data privacy infringements.
In the aftermath of the pandemic, we can expect a surge in the number of eDiscovery requests and litigation cases.
Most people affected by the coronavirus will want to know whether their privacy has been compromised and in what ways. And this goes beyond the healthcare sector.
These will include people who lost their jobs, as well as parents whose kids used unsafe communication tools to attend classes. And they will also want to know how healthcare institutions, regulatory bodies, and school districts handled their data.
Time to Prepare for Data Requests is Now
Whatever could be said of the preparedness of healthcare institutions and government agencies, we should give them the benefit of the doubt that they did their best to preserve as many lives as possible. Still, this won't abolish them from individual cases of data retrieval.
People will want to get access to their medical files, whether to get a better understanding of their symptoms or to seek evidence of data mistreatment.
And that's not all: individual requests are only one part of the issue. On the other hand, regulatory bodies will check for compliance with regulations on business records preservation. This affects a broad range of sectors, including K12 schools and higher education institutions, legal companies, financial organizations and firms, as well as construction companies.
So what can organizations do to prepare for the inevitable rise in the amount of data requests? We've compiled a list of steps that can help companies prepare.
Step 1: Assign a responsible person
While this is something that might sound trivial, companies often fail at this step. But it's essential: unless there is someone in your firm specifically tasked with the responsibility to ensure data compliance, chances are no one will pick up that responsibility.
This could potentially lead to some use cases/files slipping through the cracks, which could expose the entire company to non-compliance. There are hundreds of regulations on information archiving in the US, so you should really prioritize your compliance, no matter how large your organization is.
So first get your compliance officer, who will interpret the rules alongside your legal team. They should then work on creating and implementing comprehensive policies that will define the data that needs to be archived, as well as how this information will be captured.
They should also perform in-house random checks to ensure all data is backed up securely and that all personnel know how to handle sensitive data and which communication tools to use.
Step 2: Identify which data needs archiving
This step requires thorough research but pays off in the long run. The key outcome here is to make a list of all channels of communications used among your employees and then decide on the ones acceptable for your businesses.
You need to understand where your business records are discussed. Is it WhatsApp or Slack? Do you use Zoom or Skype? Can you capture all this information? In a worst-case scenario, will you have concrete evidence to prove you didn't disclose your clients' data?
Once you know the range of business communication channels you use, you will be much better at tracking, capturing, and retaining all this data.
Step 3: Automate information capturing
The number of communication channels has been expanding vastly, and large organizations often find it difficult to keep track of all places and information exchanged. But once you know where to look for business records, you still need to make sure no piece of information gets lost in the way.
To this end, you need to rely on robust technology that can do this process for you automatically, without disrupting the work of your core departments.
You need to find an information archiving solution that can capture and search through not just email messages, but also video calls, voice calls, instant messaging, zipped files, attachments, and all other places where often vital business information lies.
Step 4: Keep all data unaltered
To face the rising number of data retrieval requests, you need to keep all communication intact. The reason for this is that your organization will need to present proof of the authenticity and integrity of information in case this information is used in a legal proceeding.
With a tamper-proof archiver, you can preserve the original content and metadata for all messages pertaining to a particular case.
So, in cases where you expect an audit or investigation, you should implement a technology that will allow you to apply the legal hold. That way, you will be able to preserve business communication for an indefinite period of time, even after the expiry of its retention period.
Step 5: Train your employees on best practices
As a rule, organizations in regulated industries work with sensitive information, such as health records, financial data, education records, and so on. And what we often see in practice is that no technology is good enough to prevent the mishaps that can happen due to employees being unaware of regulations they need to follow.
That's why in the period when the number of these requests is likely to rise, you need to make sure all your employees understand their role in the process.
Thousands of pictures and videos taken in hospitals during the Covid-19 pandemic have swarmed social media, showing staff working endless shifts to save lives. In most cases, there was no bad intention: these scenes can help people understand why they need to respect the precautionary measures.
However, all of this information can contain some sensitive data: what if someone's identity is revealed? In that case, the person affected can rightly ask for legal action against the hospital or clinic for disclosing their personal information.

What is a death spell
What is a death? And why is it so powerful? A death spell is a type of voodoo spell that summons the power of one's will. Death are powerful because they tap into the power of one's will. Death spells can be used for a variety of purposes. It's even possible to be a layman with some skill and still learn some voodoo. Click Here To WhatsApp Now / Contact me for help.
You've probably heard or read about spells that kill things, but have you heard about spells that bring people back from the dead?
When you drink the blood of a freshly killed victim to gain power and positive effects, it is possible to bring people back from the dead. This is also known as "revivify" magic.
In most cases, that's considered to be a type of suicide spell. However, there are different tactics you can use to resurrect the dead. One is to find a grave with a powerful positive energy. Obtaining this particular grave gives you the power to revive the dead.
"Revivify" magic is not the only type of death spell. Some are arguably more powerful.
Take the classifications of "heal wounds" or "speed up recovery time." These are also considered to be death spells.
More Details Of What Is A Death Spell About
What is a death spellSometimes, you can discover herbs that grant you the same effect as "heal wounds."
"Toxic gas" is a type of death spell. There is a voodoo ritual to cast it on enemies. But when it comes to voodoo healing, it can be a very harsh process.
Some people who self-immolate due to a grievance will rise from the dead. It's a very regrettable tragedy, but it's not considered a "death spell."
A "revivify" spell places a peerless curse on the enemy. Any hostile action performed against the enemy afterward will ensure the recipient will go back to life.
These "death spells" usually be used to kill people. If you want to revivify somebody, found someone who loves you and has no current animus toward you.
 How to cast a death spell and what you should know before doing so
Casting a death spell is not something to be taken lightly. It should only be done if you feel truly threatened and there is no other way to protect yourself. If you decide to cast a death spell, be honest about your intentions and take responsibility for your actions.A proper death spell can take three forms:
1. Executing purpose-driven life changes: When the goal is to steer a person or their life in a certain direction, a good reason can be unnecessary to stand in that person's way. I hope to be able to discourage some of the suicidal tendencies I displayed in my younger days. Probably I could have been saved if I could have accepted my negative events as unforeseeable. That way I would have had more control in addressing them and wouldn't have had to live with my unconscious reactions.
Killing something undesirable or naive to change its nature or character
This is one of the most effective death spells and can be used to change certain aspects of your life, such as a personality or your occupation. Secundus of Saturn is a horoscope reading service that can interpret your future regarding these matters. His readings are confidential and they won't negatively affect your career, health, relationships or financial status.
Sending a predetermined message
If you want to send a message regarding your values, growth or destiny then doing so in this way is an excellent way to lay out your intentions. It's a magical and silent way which will not provoke any response from the one you're sending the message to. This is an alternative to more public methods such as public bombings and protests.
To properly interpret a death spell, begin by listening to how you feel and what you're prepared to sacrifice. Begin by consciously discussing with yourself what you want to change in your life and accept that most likely you won't manage to change everything in your life at once.
The first death spell cast by a human (and how to cast it)
The first death spell cast by a human is believed to have been cast by the ancient sorcerer Ziusudra, the Sumerian Noah. Ziusudra, who is a divine figure in the Sumerian creation myth, Utnapishtim, the sole survivor of the Great Flood.Most people believe his tragic death was directly tied to his attempt to escape the flood by crossing the mighty River Ofern.
Ways to Survive the Ultimate Test
There are current death spells in both professional and internet valued businesses where you've heard about them but you shouldn't actually be using them and you're wondering why.
Deep Cleaning
One of the most common business tools ever devised is the practice of deep cleaning: A business hires a professional cleaning service to leave the physical premises squeaky clean. And, traditional cleaners tend to charge far more than the folks at Home Depot who are simply doing some DIY on your furniture.
So common that it's a lot easier to force your employees to do it yourself. Then, when the end of the road arrives, everything is just one giant mess.
The example given by Cialdini is to
Create a cleaning manifesto that describes the likely mess created by your employees.
Let employees handle items that require cleaning.
Embed cleaning instructions in your prospect's intangible assets.
Direct employees to place items cleanly in designated locations while they clean.
Given the necessity of the project, you might want to try using a cleaning checklist rather than just crowdsourcing it.
4. The second death spell, its history, how effective it is and what you should know before casting it
The second death spell is a spell that can be cast on a person who has done you wrong in some way. This spell can be cast if you feel angry and resentful. If you have ever felt like you just want to get revenge on someone, then this is the spell for you, but there are things you should know before casting it.
First, a death spell is a very harsh spell. You don't want to waste this spell by randomly targeting someone. If you believe you have been wronged in some way then you should settle before using this spell. You also shouldn't use this spell as an immediate solution.
The other thing you should know about a death spell is that you cannot reverse its effects. If you give someone a second chance and they make the same mistakes that you did then that spell won't have any more effect on them. That might not sound like a big deal, but some people take this rule a little too far. The consequences can be deep and long-lasting. As a result, it is typically not advised to cast a death spell unless the whole world is against you.
Sometimes, someone close to you will betray you. On one occasion, a sibling betrayed the only other family member they had left. If you have a lot of resentment against your siblings, this is a perfect time to use a death spell on them.
Some people are obsessed with money. You cannot make them have more money than you have. On the contrary, you can only make them have less money than you.
How much money you have is an extremely personal and important factor for you.
Most people try to figure how much money they need for the year ahead. However, some people take this to an extreme. They focus on having more money than they know what to do with. These people spend their days on increasing their personal wealth to the absolute limit. This makes no sense at all, and it is a sign of excessive wealth.
5. The third death spell and how to cast it correctly
The third death spell and how to cast it correctly. The death spell is actually an ancient magic technique that will bring you great wealth. This spell is used to attract the person you desire and make them fall in love with you. It is not a spell that will force someone to love you.
1. "Erase" a person's positive attributes.
If you wish to make someone dull and boring, it is easy to erase their positive attributes: imagine them with dark, sunken eyes, their hair greasy and sticking to their head, their jaw hanging slack, their skin pale. Irritating, right?
You do not need to concentrate long to have an impact on the person you wish to offend. Darkness and dirtiness can move quickly in your surroundings if you hold your peace for a few seconds.
2. Mark the target with a negative word.
You can say a positive word instead (Let's say, "happy", but I know you want to erase it as well) and the negative word will always bubble up. This is a deadly spell for its quickness.
3. Starve him emotionally.
The more you hate him (that he is) the harder it is for him to love you with all his heart. The one who plans his love attack carefully has one goal in mind: he won't be able to love you the way he wants to. "Your love is poison." — Gibbon
You will prevent him from blooming with love for you by depriving him of it emotionally. This can be done through an incessant stream of remarks (Words of abuse) or colder words. You can also hurt his self-esteem by stating plainly that he can't have you.
4. Neglect his physical and mental development.
Due to the prevailing thoughts you have about him, you're bound to thwart his physical and mental development. He's expected to have all the qualities you find essential in a husband or a son. But if you don't agree with these…well, why are you wasting your time with him? He's just wasting your time.

Democratic Republic of Congo / Rwanda
1.47 S, 29.492 E
summit elevation 3711 m
Visoke Volcano is located on the Democratic Republic of Congo / Rwanda border. The volcano contains a 450-m-wide lake in the summit crater. An eruption in 1957 formed two small cones on the north flank, 11 km from the summit.
Visoke volcano - John Seach
A field of cinder cones is located between Visoke and Sabinyo volcanoes.
The volcano has produced leucitite, olivine nephelinite, basanite and hawaiite
lavas. Visoke leucitites exhibit a relatively restricted compositional range.
No recent eruptions.
In 1957 an eruption occurred at Mugogo volcano, 11 km north of the summit.

To 'acknowledge' means to recognise the importance or quality of something. This concept and its application in Australia has been imperative to the slow repair of disparities that exists between First Nations People and non-Indigenous Australians. By acknowledging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and in turn, giving them the opportunity to welcome us to Country, we promote an awareness of the history and culture of Indigenous people, as well as contribute to mending a long history of dispossession and colonisation. Further to this, by incorporating welcoming and acknowledgment into official meetings and events, we recognise First Nation Peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of this land.
The difference between an Acknowledgment of Country and Welcome to Country is not often well understood. In light of this, today we seek to explain their meanings, tradition and importance.
"An Acknowledgement of Country is an opportunity for anyone to show respect for Traditional Owners and the continuing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Country. It can be given by both non-Indigenous people and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people."
There is no set script for an Acknowledgment of Country. Personalising and localising an acknowledgment is encouraged as it helps to make it as meaningful as possible. An example of an Acknowledgment would read:
"A Welcome to Country occurs at the beginning of a formal event and can take many forms including singing, dancing, smoking ceremonies or a speech in traditional language or English. A Welcome to Country is delivered by Traditional Owners, or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have been given permission from Traditional Owners, to welcome visitors to their Country."

The Stripe Gateway API allows marketplace payments to be processed and distributed automatically using Stripe. Marketplace payment processing using Stripe is the quickest and easiest method of implementing payments for your marketplace.
OpenChannel's Stripe integration manages user credit cards and payment processing, automatically deposits the the commission into your Stripe account and deposits the remaining balance into the developer's Stripe account.
In order to user Stripe payment processing:
 1. You are required to setup and configure a Stripe account for your marketplace
 2. Developers are required to setup and configure a Stripe account
 3. Both yourself and Developers must be from a country that is supported by Stripe (see supported countries)
Payments must be enabled and 'Stripe' must be selected as the gateway in order to use these API endpoints. See Setting Up Payments With Stripe. Once the marketplace's Stripe account is setup and integrated with the marketplace, The Stripe Gateway API can be used to allow developers to connect their Stripe accounts and users to manage their payment details. See Stripe Gateway for more details.
You must have administrator privileges for your marketplace in order to see Settings in the left navigation menu.
Connecting Developer Stripe Accounts
Allowing a developer to connect their Stripe account is as easy as redirecting the developer to a specific URL. Retrieve the URL by calling the Connect Developer Account API method with the developerId and the URL of where you would like the developer to redirected to once they've completed the connection flow.
As part of the API response, a URL will be provided. Example:
 "developerId": "123",
 "expires": 1432695338702,
 "targetUrl": ""
Redirect the developer to this URL in order to begin Stripe's account connection flow. The developer's connected Stripe accounts can be retrieved using the Get Developer Accounts API method. A developer's Stripe accounts can be disconnected using the Disconnect Developer Account API method.
Managing User Credit Card Details
Users can add, update, view and remove their credit card details. By setting up a credit card, users are able to purchase apps without the need to repeatedly enter their credit card details.
Adding credit cards requires the use of the Stripe.js library. After calling the stripe.createToken method, use the result.token value in the response as a parameter to call the Add Credit Card API method.
Although additional API methods are provided to allow for multiple credit cards to be added, updated and removed, the simplest and most preferred implementation strategy is to only allow the user to set a single credit card.
Simple implementation:
 1. Create a form to allow the user to enter their credit card details (name, card number, expiry date, CVC).
 2. Call stripe.createToken from the Stripe.js library to retrieve a token.
 3. Call the Add Credit Card API method with isDefault set to true.
 4. Inspect the Cards returned by the above API call and delete any card that is not the default using the Delete Credit Card API method.

Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM) is widely used in the treatment of anaemia of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). The clinicians must be alert of the rare adverse events such as hypersensitivity with subsequent doses of Ferric carboxymaltose. Here, we report a case of a 59-year-old male a known case of CKD, with anaemia and thrombocytopenia. Ferric carboxymaltose was the treatment of choice. There was a hypersensitivity reaction to the second dose whereas, the first dose was well tolerated. This case report indicates the onset of adverse reaction with ferric carboxymaltose with the second dose even though the first dose was well tolerated.

1352.0.55.086 - Research Paper: Socio-Economic Indexes for Individuals and Families (Methodology Advisory Committee), Jun 2007
Latest ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 23/08/2007 First Issue
|Page tools: Print Page Print All RSS Search this Product|
The Australian Bureau of Statistics has released Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) based on the Census of Population and Housing since 1986. The SEIFA indexes are widely used measures of relative socio-economic status at a small area level. The indexes rank and identify areas that are relatively more, or less, disadvantaged. They provide contextual information about the area in which a person lives. Yet, within any area there will be individuals and sub-populations with very different characteristics to the overall population of the area. When we make judgments about individuals, based on the characteristics of the area in which they live, there is potential for error in our conclusions. This potential for error is referred to as the ecological fallacy.
These documents will be presented in a new window.

A team of volunteers from WRc participated in the Earth Summit on 28th-31st May 2012.
The Earth Summit is an annual event organised by the National Trust. Its aim is for year 5 pupils across Swindon to learn about sustainable living. Approximately 500 children from 11 schools attend workshops on a variety of issues, from renewable energy to recycling, and from transport to fair trade.
WRc presented the workshop called Water Matters in conjunction with Thames Water. It included activities to encourage the pupils to think about where water comes from and the processes that are required to treat water. These discussions prompted ideas about what actions the children and their families could take to reduce their water consumption. They were also given the opportunity to make water filters to test different filtration materials and observe which ones were most effective.
The event took place at the National Trust Estate in Coleshill, which has acres of land in which the children could learn as well as enjoy the great outdoors and the event was a resounding success!

To be a great basketball shooter, it is not just enough to be able to stand at the three-point line and catch and shoot. You also need to be able to shoot the basketball on the move and off of screens. This means that you need to use different basketball drills to get used to moving, cutting, and coming into your shot from different angles and spots on the floor.
This basketball shooting drill is great for simulating game speed shot off of down screens. This basketball drill is named after Ray Allen, who was one of the best at moving without the basketball and shooting off screens. As much as this drill will work on shooting, it is also going to work on footwork. This means that you need to really lock-in on the correct footwork for setting up your defender, using the screen, and then, finally, using the fade cut.
Basketball Drill Overview
Drill Name: Ray Allen Fade Cut Basketball Shooting Drill
Equipment Needed: 1 basketball, 2 chairs, and a partner.
Similar Basketball Drills and Resources
- Reaction Inside Pivot Basketball Shooting Drill
- Ray Allen Straight Cut Basketball Shooting Drill
- Ray Allen Curl Cut Basketball Shooting Drill
Goals of the Drill
- Improve shooting and work on the fade cut footwork.
- Set your man up on each cut and mix in slow to fast on your cuts.
- Visualize how you would do it in a game.
- Jump straight up and down on your shot, don't drift.
Basketball Drill Instructions
- Set a chair on each side of the paint about 2 feet outside of the lane.
- Passer stands at the top of the key, and shooter stands under the basket.
- There are three different types of cuts.
- 1. There is the regular fade cut off of one of the chairs.
- 2. There is the figure 8 cut where you curl off of the first chair and then come back down in the paint and immediately fade cut off of the other chair for the shot.
- 3. Is the curl around the chair, cut back into the paint, pause in the middle, and then fade cut around the same chair for the shot.
- Set your man up each time and fade cut before every shot.
- Do 10 shots in a row and mix in all three different cuts as you do.

Scouting Tips
1. Find your Huntables
Huntables are one of the fastest sources of Food available. When the match starts, try and find your nearby Huntables and kill them with your scout (they don't decay!). You can then bring your Villagers and build a Storehouse next to them and start gathering Food.
For the most efficient gathering possible, try and spread your Villagers so that you have one on each Huntable animal.
2. Scout your opponent's Base
Once you are done killing your Huntables, send your Scout towards your opponent's base. See where their resources are located, if they are gathering from Huntables or Berries, if they are making early Military Units, etc.
Knowing what your opponent is doing is extremely important in making your next decisions. Keep on Scouting!
3. Check the opponent's Stone
Keep an eye on your opponent's Stone deposit. If they are mining Stone, it is likely that they are going for an early 2nd Town Center. Knowing this can help you make a decision whether you want to respond with a Town Center of your own, or to try a more aggressive strategy.
Be careful, though! If your opponent only has 1-2 Villagers on Stone, it may mean that they are going for an aggressive Tower Rush strategy! In that case, make sure to opt for a more defensive strategy and be prepared for a Tower Rush.
4. Build Watch Posts
Watch Posts are very useful for getting vision on key parts of the map. Use your Scout to build them in strategic places (such as where your opponent might send a group of units to attack you, or a Gold Deposit that your opponent might start gathering from soon) so you're always one step ahead.
In case your Scout dies, you can still use your Villagers to build Watch Posts. Preparation is key!

Magnets used to confuse crocs
Crocodile with magnets attached
Crocodiles are posing less of a threat to people in Florida after scientists found an unusual way of distracting them: strapping magnets to their heads!
Researchers say crocs use the Earth's magnetic field to help them get around so having magnets on their heads makes them lose their sense of direction.
The technique is being tried to try to make streets safer in places near crocodile homes, like the Everglades.
That's because simply moving the crocs from residential areas doesn't work.
Experts say crocodiles are extremely territorial and some have been known to travel up to 10 miles a week to get back to the places they were captured.
To try to stop that, when a croc is caught in a residential area conservation workers are moving them deeper into the swamps before releasing them with magnets taped to their heads.
'Valuable creatures'
Lindsey Hord, of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said: "We put the magnets on when they're captured and since they don't know where we take them, they're lost."
"Crocodiles are unique and valuable creatures and we feel like we have a responsibility to live with these animals as much as we can."


In this paper, a decision circuit based on 0.13 μm CMOS is presented. It is designed for 40-Gb/s optical communication systems. This decision circuit achieved by master-slave flip-flops (MS-FFs) with opposite clock can operate at a bit rate of 40-Gb/s and beyond. Current-mode logic (CML) is adopted due to the higher speed compared to static CMOS and the robustness against common-mode disturbances. A 3-stage output buffer is employed to drive the external 50 Ω loads. On-chip shunt peaking (SP) inductors and split-resistor (SR) loads are used to boost the bandwidth. The decision circuit uses a single 1.2V supply and consumes a total current of 33mA. And the chip area is only 0.63mm2 with bonding pads.

Artist Salon Premieres!
By Peter Sheehan
On Sunday, March 31st, the Roost Gallery held its first artist Salon which showcased the work of three local artists. The paintings of Peter Sheehan, Jill Ziccardi and Ed O'Hara were exhibited and after everyone enjoyed refreshments and a lovely introduction from the Roost's executive director, Marcy Bernstein, the main event began. Those in attendance took time to analyze and appreciate each work of art that was shown and first to be discussed was the work of Peter Sheehan. Sheehan, an artist who received his MFA in sculpture from SUNY New Paltz in 1971, makes mesmerizing abstract works that explore the interplay between bright and muted colors and are informed by his experiences as a farmer and one who enjoys nature. His works incorporates small details he sees in the world such as the relationship between ice and the sun as it cracks and expands with the shifting warmth as well as landscapes from his memories. He finds endless inspiration in nature and uses painting as his primary tool in exploring the mysteries of the woods and landscapes he witnesses.
Next to present was Jill Ziccardi, a phenomenally funny creator whose work is inspired by the pet names men use to describe and objectify women. She playfully discusses heavy topics such as gender inequality and feminism by creating artworks that embody nick names like 'sweetheart, ' 'cupcake, ' and 'chicks,' and works to reclaim these words by making colorful and masterful paintings of them. She also uniquely chooses to decorate the borders of her paintings with objects that are relevant to her subjects, such as using cat toys to surround her painting, 'sexy kitten' which allows the painting to live outside of its perimeters and to expand outwards in the gallery space. She attaches these border materials with glue and her incorporation of these objects gives her work a crafty feeling, and with crafts oftentimes considered 'women's work' they are often undervalued in society. Ziccardi also chooses to paint on fabric and skillfully incorporates the preexisting pattern of the fabric into her imagery to pay homage to women who masterfully work with fabrics but are not recognized as skilled artists. Ziccardi's confident and sassy personality is very present in her work and the conversation surrounding her pieces were oftentimes including the words 'joyful,' 'exciting' and 'hilarious.'
Last but certainly not least was Ed O'Hara, former CEO of SME branding and a new comer to the New Paltz art scene. O'Hara's paintings are dramatic and visceral as they explore his family's complicated past and his desire to express subconscious feelings. He utilizes many mediums to communicate these ideas such as paint, family photos, graphite, and various symbols. The jarring and sometimes confusing images he creates mirrors the complex nature of relationships between humans and his use of bright colors and symbols further alludes to those he wishes to either pay homage to or recognize faults in. O'Hara's Latino heritage was greatly denied throughout his life and he uses his art to give that part of his lineage and honorable place to exist. He described his art as a form of "open-heart surgery" as he delved into these densely emotional aspects of his life and family. O'Hara has found immense closure and understanding through his art and the stories he chose to share in his paintings are engaging, raw and greatly appreciated by those who got to enjoy them firsthand.

MaxPix
Defines the maximum height of the item in pixels. If 0 is specified, the item uses the height required, so the item is not clipped vertically.
Comments
The MaxHeightPix property defines the maximum height of the item.
If the item is larger than the defined maximum height, it is truncated and clipped.
This property has no effect when fixed height items are used (see Items.Style). The Items.MinHeightPix and Items.MaxHeightPix properties can be used for fixed height items to define the minimum and maximum height for all item.
The Items.Lines property can be used to define the number of text lines used for item height calculation.
The Item.MinHeightPix property defines the minimum height of an item.
