script starts the display manager and desktop before any of the aforementioned shell startup files are sourced. In other words, this is performed before any of the variables are loaded in the environment.
Setting the locale globally should be done using /etc/env.d/02locale file. This file should look something like the following:
FILE /etc/env.d/02localeDemonstration of en_GB.UTF-8
## (As always, change "en_GB.UTF-8" to the appropriate locale value; each language has a different value!)
LANG="en_GB.UTF-8"
Nota
It is possible to substitute the LC_CTYPE variable for the LANG variable. For more information on the categories affected by using LC_CTYPE read the GNU locale page.
Next, the environment must be updated by running the following command:
root #env-update
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
root #source /etc/profile
Now, run locale with no arguments to see if the correct variables have been loaded in the environment:
root #locale
LANG=en_GB.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ALL=
The values of locale environment variables that have been explicitly set e.g. in an export statement (if using bash) are listed without double quotes. Those whose value has been inherited from other locale environment variables have their values in double quotes.
Alternative: Using eselect to set locales
Although it is good to maintain the system as described above, it is possible to verify the correct locale configured using the eselect utility.
Use eselect to list the available locales on the system:
root #eselect locale list
 [1] C
 [2] POSIX *
 [3] en_GB.utf8
 [ ] (free form)
Using eselect setting the locale is as simple as listing them. Once the correct locale has been determined invoke:
root #eselect locale set 3
Setting LANG to en_GB.utf8 ...
Check the result:
root #eselect locale list
 [1] C
 [2] POSIX
 [3] en_GB.utf8 *
 [ ] (free form)
In case it is preferred to have /etc/env.d/02locale with .UTF-8 instead of .utf8, run the appropriate eselect command:
root #eselect locale set en_GB.UTF-8
Setting LANG to en_GB.UTF-8 ...
root #eselect locale list
 [1] C
 [2] POSIX
 [3] en_GB.utf8
 [4] en_GB.UTF-8 *
 [ ] (free form)
Running the following command will update the variables in the shell:
root #env-update && source /etc/profile
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
That is everything. The system is now using UTF-8 locales. The next hurdle is the configuration of the applications used from day to day.
Application support
When Unicode first started gaining momentum in the software world, multibyte character sets were not well suited to languages like C, which is the base language of most commonly used programs. Even today, some programs are not able to handle UTF-8 properly. Fortunately the majority of programs, especially the common ones, are supported.
(V)FAT
For UTF-8 support in FAT filesystems see the FAT article.
Filenames
For changing the encoding of filenames, app-text/convmv can be used.
root #emerge --ask app-text/convmv
The format of the convmv command is as follows:
root #convmv -f <current-encoding> -t utf-8 <filename>
Substitute iso-8859-1 with the charset being converted from:
root #convmv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 filename
For changing the contents of files, use the iconv utility, it comes bundled with sys-libs/glibc and should be installed on all Gentoo systems. Substitute iso-8859-1 with the charset being converted from. After running the command be sure to check for sane output:
root #iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 filename
To convert a file, another file must be created:
root #iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 filename > newfile
The recode (app-text/recode) package can also be used for this purpose.
The system console
To enable UTF-8 on the console edit /etc/rc.conf. Set unicode="yes" and read the comments -- it is important to have a font that has a good range of characters to make the most of Unicode. For this to work make sure the Unicode locale has been properly created.
The keymap variable, set in /etc/conf.d/keymaps, should have a Unicode keymap specified.
CODE Example /etc/conf.d/keymaps snippet
## (Change "uk" to the right local layout)
keymap="uk"
Ncurses and Slang
Nota
Ignore any mention of Slang in this section if it is not installed or unneeded.
It is wise to add unicode to the global USE flags in /etc/portage/make.conf, and then to re-emerge sys-libs/ncurses and sys-libs/slang. Portage will do this automatically if the --changed-use or --newuse options are used. Run the following command to pull in the packages:
root #emerge --update --deep --newuse @world
We also need to rebuild packages that link to these, now the USE changes have been applied. The tool we use (revdep-rebuild) is part of the app-portage/gentoolkit package.
root #revdep-rebuild --library libncurses.so.5
root #revdep-rebuild --library libslang.so.1
KDE, GNOME, and Xfce
All of the major desktop environments have full Unicode support, and will require no further setup than what has already been covered in this guide. This is because the underlying graphical toolkits (Qt or GTK 2) are UTF-8 aware. Subsequently, all applications running on top of these toolkits should be UTF-8-aware out of the box.
On GTK based applications, the key sequence for hexadecimal Unicode input is Ctrl+Shift+u+<hex digit>. As an example, the unicode character ✔ which has unicode number U+2714 can be written as Ctrl+Shift+u+2714+ENTER, being rendered as .
X11 and fonts
TrueType fonts have support for Unicode, and most of the fonts that ship with Xorg have extensive character support, although, obviously, not every single glyph available in Unicode has been created for that font.
Also, many font packages in Portage are Unicode aware. See the Fontconfig page for more information on recommended fonts and configuration.
Window managers and terminal emulators
Window managers not built on GTK or Qt generally have very good Unicode support, as they often use the Xft library for handling fonts. If the window manager does not use Xft for fonts, then it is still possible to use the FontSpec mentioned in the previous section as a Unicode font.
Terminal emulators that use Xft and support Unicode are harder to come by. Aside from Konsole and GNOME Terminal, the best options in Portage are x11-terms/rxvt-unicode, x11-terms/xfce4-terminal, gnustep-apps/terminal, x11-terms/mlterm, or plain x11-terms/xterm when built with the unicode USE flag and invoked as uxterm. app-misc/screen supports UTF-8 too, when invoked as screen -U or the following is put into the ~/.screenrc:
CODE ~/.screenrc for UTF-8
defutf8 on
Vim, emacs, xemacs, and nano
Vim provides full UTF-8 support, and also has builtin detection of UTF-8 files. For further information in Vim, use :help mbyte.txt.

Bridges are an essential part of transportation infrastructures. Due to the progressive deteriorations and accumulated fatigue damages of structures under dynamic loads such as vehicles and wind, it is essential to ensure the structure safety in both routine service and extreme loading environments. For long-span bridges in extreme wind, no traffic load is typically considered, assuming that bridges will be closed to traffic at high wind speeds. Therefore, bridges are usually tested in wind tunnels or analyzed numerically without considering moving vehicles on them. On the other hand, when assessing bridge performance in routine service, such as fatigue damage, wind effects are not usually considered. However, there are numerous possible scenarios under which both vehicles and winds may simultaneously contribute to bridge responses and cause significant serviceability and bridge fatigue damage issues.
We develop a comprehensive framework for wind-vehicle-bridge interaction analysis. This includes both the experimental identification of the key parameters, and the development of numerical simulation tools to quantify the system performance. Along the way, we thus have developed a comprehensive approach to address vehicle and bridge safety issues, through the development of a three dimensional finite element analysis framework that considers the interaction of wind, bridge, and vehicles; the establishment of an experimental framework for both static and aerodynamic tests of bridge section models and vehicles. In the course of these developments, we conducted CFD prediction of wind loading on vehicles, evaluated the performance of vehicle safety and bridge fatigue in service, and bridge safety in extreme wind conditions. We also developed mitigation measures for bridge vibrations, studied vehicle dynamic impact on different bridges, and provided system identification based on vehicle-bridge interaction.
Recent Findings
 The dynamic effects from vehicles are significant for short span bridges. When the road surface deteriorates or faulting forms at the bridge ends, bridge design codes may underestimate the dynamic impact factors and new specifications are needed for performance assessment of existing bridges. However, the vehicle dynamic impact effect is relatively small for long-span bridges and the effects from vehicle speeds and road roughness conditions can be neglected. Vehicle dynamic effects for FRP bridges can be significantly compared to traditional concrete and steel bridges. The combined dynamic effects from winds and vehicles might result in serious fatigue problems for long-span bridges, though the traffic or wind loads alone may not be able to induce serious fatigue problems.
This research provides a basis for improving bridge design codes. The developed relationship between safe driving vehicle speed and wind speed provides a starting point for developing a scientific traffic management strategy in windy environment, which can ultimately replace the current practice of closing a bridge or highway due to strong wind based on experience only. Finally, the strategy of using vehicle-bridge interaction to identify bridge or vehicle parameters will provide a new direction for bridge damage detection or vehicle law enforcement.

We have studied the characteristics of a pulsed gas-discharge laser on iron bromide vapor generating radiation with a wavelength of 452.9 nm at a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 5–30 kHz. The maximum output power amounted to 10 mW at a PRF within 5–15 kHz for a voltage of 20–25 kV applied to electrodes of the discharge tube. Addition of HBr to the medium produced leveling of the radial profile of emission. Initial weak lasing at a wavelength of 868.9 nm was observed for the first time, which ceased with buildup of the main 452.9-nm line.

 Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the issue. Are you calling a compiled C program that adds two numbers from InstallBuilder? Could you paste here the relevant parts of your XML project?

 I guess you're using Turbo C for compiling your C programs. To edit the output directory, go to Options -> Directories
 You'll get 4 text fields. 1. Include Libraries 2. Library Libraries 3. Output Libraries 4. Source Libraries
 See if any path is present in the "Include library" field by default. If there is any content, copy the same to the other three fields as well.
 If there isn't any content in any of the fields, type the root directory, usually "C:" or "D:" or the directory in which you've installed Turbo C, followed by the installation folder. Usually, its "tc".
 After copying the content to the other text fields, press OK.

The remianing bags of Maitum jars that were recovered from looters last year are to be sent to the National Museum, after preliminary studies suggest that the faces depicted on them represent a distinctly separate group from the Ayub Cave pottery that was found 15 years ago.
National Museum orders transport of remaining seized cultural artifacts
Minda News, 23 April 2009
The National Museum has ordered the transport of the remaining 17 of 22 bags of cultural artifacts seized August last year by the police in Maitum, Sarangani, as a study on the five sacks earlier transported to Manila revealed that the makers of the confiscated anthropomorphic pottery, were, indeed, â€œ a distinct or separate group that most likely had contact with the group who made and used the pottery from Ayub.â€ In a letter to Maitum Mayor Elsie Lucille Perrett dated February 16, 2009 but received only recently, National Museum Director Corazon Alvina said that a study conducted by Dr. Eusebio Z. Dizon and his staff members revealed that the potteries are â€œdifferent from Ayub Cave pottery assemblage.â€
â€œWhile the anthropomorphic potteries from Ayub Cave and confiscated materials exhibit similarities in general morphology, variation in the details of human traits were observed.
Likewise, the technology employed in pottery production was different. These suggest that the makers of this confiscated pottery were a distinct or separate group that most likely had contact with the group who made and used the pottery from Ayub,â€ Alvina said, quoting from the study.
Dizon in September inspected the contents of the 22 bags and chose five for transport to Manila.

Objectives: Retrospective cholecystography studies in adults with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) suggested detectable gallstones in 37% to 43% of patients. Since longitudinal studies using biliary ultrasonography are unavailable, the aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of gallstone disease, as detected by biliary ultrasonography, in children and young adults with HS. As individuals with HS who co-inherit Gilbert syndrome have a greater risk of developing gallstones, uridine diphosphate-glucuronyl transferase (UGT-IA) gene polymorphism was also determined. Patients and Methods: The authors retrospectively evaluated 44 patients aged 1.4 to 22 years with HS, 12 (27%) of whom underwent splenectomy. Ultrasonography was performed annually starting at the age of 4 years or at the time of diagnosis, if later. Results: Of the 44 patients, 18 (41%) developed cholelithiasis as demonstrated by gallbladder ultrasonography. In most patients (94%) the test first proved positive at age 4 to 13 years. Patients with HS and Gilbert syndrome tended to be younger at the time of cholelithiasis. Conclusions: Early cholelithiasis was detected in children and young adults with HS. To identify this complication, the authors recommend early annual biliary ultrasonography in HS children, starting at about 4 years of age. In patients with Gilbert syndrome, closer follow-up may be indicated.

New Teacher Academy continues through ninth year
July 19, 2022 — DENTON — The New Teacher Academy (NTA) at Texas Woman's University continued into its ninth consecutive year and third as an online event. This summer, the NTA welcomed 118 participants with engaging sessions on classroom management, a teacher/principal panel, and more.
The ever-growing event, developed in 2014 by Sarah McMahan, PhD, and Rebecca Fredrickson, EdD, in the Department of Teacher Education, is reaching more teachers as an online event. McMahan and Fredrickson have collected data that indicates 96% of participants prefer the flexibility of the online option on Zoom.
It fits the College of Professional Education's goal of being in communities for communities. Teachers participated from across Texas with one even mentioning, "with gas prices so high, I am so grateful NTA was online. I couldn't attend otherwise."
Another attendee told Fredrickson, "I loved learning so many ideas about what I can do to prepare for the start of school." Others appreciated that the NTA is free and found it to be encouraging, helpful and stress relieving.
The New Teacher Academy is a collective partnership with iteachTexas, an alternative certification program that provides extra mentoring support and professional development to TWU graduates and iteachTexas candidates who are beginning their first years of teaching.
The majority of participants in the 2022 NTA showed interest in a smaller online version during the winter holidays. As a result, the planning committee is building a less-structured version.
"It will allow participants to have deeper conversations on challenges they face in their first two years," said McMahan.
Participants can expect topics on:
- Classroom management
- Technology integration
- Navigating challenging situations with parents and families
"Engaging alumni in opportunities to give back allows us to continue to support them and share with them opportunities about furthering their education in graduate programs," said McMahan.

Mineral Mines & Quarries Inspectorate | Alert | No.421 V 1 | 16 December 2022
A short but significant storm passed across a mine during day shift operations. Surface trucking operations were halted and operators were instructed to park machines. Personnel were transported to crib and office facilities until the storm passed.
Upon returning to the parking areas to resume operations, workers discovered the tyres (positions 3, 4 and 5) on a rear dump truck had exploded. The explosion caused tyre fragments to project into the general park up area and nearby mine road, and a rock ejector was found approximately 10 metres away from the machine.
It is believed a lightning strike during the storm caused internal pyrolysis on the tyres leading to the explosions.
Investigations are ongoing and further information may be published as it becomes available. The information in this publication is what is known at the time of writing.
We issue Safety Notices to draw attention to the occurrence of a serious incident, raise awareness of risks, and prompt assessment of your existing controls.
A number of safety notices have been published regarding adverse weather and lightning strikes, including the following:

POSTED MAR 14, 2016 12:11 PM CDT
The U.S. Justice Department is sending a "dear colleague letter" warning state and local courts about constitutional concerns regarding fees and fines imposed on poor defendants.
The letter (PDF) from the department's Civil Rights Division and the Office for Access to Justice urges courts to review procedures regarding fines to make sure they comply with "due process, equal protection and sound public policy." A press release links to the letter and describes a $2.5 million grant program to help agencies develop strategies that reduce unnecessary confinement of those who can't pay fines and fees. TheWashington Post and the New York Times have coverage.
Dear colleague letters have been used "to help push the boundaries of civil rights law," according to the New York Times. Yet they are unusual. The last such letter, issued in 2010, advised judges they need to provide translators for people who can't speak English.
The new letter refers to "illegal enforcement of fines and fees" in "certain jurisdictions," including Ferguson, Missouri, in cases involving misdemeanors, quasi-criminal ordinance violations and civil infractions.
"Typically, courts do not sentence defendants to incarceration in these cases; monetary fines are the norm," the letter said. "Yet the harm caused by unlawful practices in these jurisdictions can be profound. Individuals may confront escalating debt; face repeated, unnecessary incarceration for nonpayment despite posing no danger to the community; lose their jobs; and become trapped in cycles of poverty that can be nearly impossible to escape."
The letter outlined "basic constitutional principles" regarding fee and fine enforcement. They include:
1) Courts shouldn't incarcerate a person for nonpayment without first determining whether the person is indigent and whether the failure to pay is willful.
2) Courts must consider alternatives to incarceration for indigent defendants unable to pay. Alternatives could include requiring community service or classes, reducing the debt or extending the time for payment.
3) Courts must not condition access to a judicial hearing on the prepayment of fees and fines.
4) Courts shouldn't use bail or bond practices that keep indigent defendants incarcerated because they can't afford to pay for their release.

Vocal ontogeny in bat pups
My Ph.D. student Ahana Fernandez studies the ontogeny of the vocal repertoire in bats. Ahana's particular interest is the conspicuous babbling behavior in which Saccopteryx bilineata pups engage regularly (Knörnschild et al. 2006). During ontogeny, pups of both sexes learn territorial songs by imitating adult male tutors (Knörnschild et al. 2010a). Since precursor songs often appear in babbling bouts, babbling probably constitutes vocal practice (Knörnschild 2014). To date, Saccopteryx bilineata is the only non-human mammal that is both a babbler and a vocal imitator, making this bat expecially well suited for biolinguistic studies.
Ahana recording Saccopteryx bilineata pups in a tree (© Stifter).
Ahana descibes the ontongenetic trajectories of different syllable types produced by babbling pups. Moreover, she studies the phonological syntax of babbling bouts and uses playback experiments to test whether pups can discriminate between syntactically correct and incorrect babbling bouts.
Babbling Saccopteryx bilineata pup roosting next to its mother (© Stifter).
Babbling pups utter long sequences of various syllables in a repetitive and juxtaposed fashion reminiscent of human canonical babbling or avian plastic song (Catchpole & Slater 1995, Doupe & Kuhl 1999, Hultsch & Todt 2004). Precursors of all adult vocalization types known to date are found in babbling bouts of pups (Behr & von Helversen 2004, Knörnschild et al. 2006), making it highly probable that babbling plays a crucial role in the species' vocal repertoire acquisition.

background
Threonine
Like other amino acids, it is an important part of cell proteins, especially important for some proteins, since the hydroxyl group of threonine can be phosphorylated (like that of serine or tyrosine) which can be used by cells to perform signaling processes, via phosphorylation/dephosphorylation. It is a precursor of isoleucine, and so it provides energy during dark hours when there is no photosynthesis.

How To Make A Wreath With Fabric Squares?
If you're looking for a creative way to use fabric scraps or add a personal touch to your home decor, making a wreath with fabric squares is a fun and easy project to try.
Whether you're a seasoned crafter or new to DIY, this step-by-step guide will show you how to create a beautiful fabric wreath that will brighten any space.
Gather Your Materials
Before you create your fabric square wreath, ensure you have all the necessary materials. Here's what you'll need:
- Fabric squares: Choose various colors and patterns that coordinate with your decor or theme.
- Wreath form: Opt for a foam or wire wreath form, depending on your preference.
- Scissors: Sharp scissors will come in handy for cutting out fabric squares.
- Hot glue gun or craft glue: Use a hot glue gun to secure the fabric squares to the wreath form.
- Ribbon or embellishments: Add finishing touches to your wreath with ribbon, bows, or other decorative elements.
Step 1: Prepare The Fabric Squares
Before you begin, you'll want to prepare your fabric squares. Start by cutting your fabric squares into uniform sizes.
Depending on the size of your wreath form and the desired fullness of your wreath, you can cut fabric squares measuring anywhere from 2-4 inches. Use a rotary cutter or scissors to ensure clean cuts.
Step 2: Attach The Fabric Squares To The Wreath Form
To attach the fabric squares to the wreath base, you have a couple of options:
- Option 1: Using a hot glue gun, apply a small dab of glue to the back of a fabric square, then press it onto the wreath base. Repeat this process, overlapping the squares slightly until the entire wreath base is covered.
- Option 2: If you prefer not to use hot glue, use craft glue. Apply the glue to the back of a fabric square and press it firmly onto the wreath base. Hold it for a few seconds to allow the glue to dry. Continue this process until the wreath base is covered.
Step 3: Add Ribbon Or Embellishments
Consider adding ribbon or embellishments to give your fabric square wreath visual interest. This can be done by tying a festive bow at the bottom or top of the wreath or attaching other decorative elements, such as artificial flowers or ornaments.
Step 4: Hang Your Fabric Square Wreath
Once your fabric square wreath is complete, it's time to hang and display it. Use a sturdy wreath hanger or attach a ribbon loop to the back of the wreath for easy hanging.
Place it on your front door, above the fireplace, or on a wall for everyone to admire.
Step 5: Enjoy Your Diy Creation
Aside from fabric squares, you can experiment with different fabric types to add texture and variety to your wreath. Consider using burlap, lace, or even repurposing old t-shirts or pillowcases for a unique and eco-friendly touch.
Now that you know how to make a wreath with fabric squares, it's time to get crafting. Gather your materials, indulge in some creativity, and enjoy the process of creating a beautiful and personalized wreath for your home.

- On a mirror: Add a touch of elegance by hanging your fabric square wreath on a large mirror. This creates a beautiful reflection and adds visual interest to any room.
- Suspended from the ceiling: For a more unconventional display, consider suspending your fabric square wreath from the ceiling using a clear fishing line. This creates a floating effect and works well in spaces with high ceilings.
- As a table centrepiece: Lay your fabric square wreath flat on a table and place a vase with fresh flowers or a centrepiece in the middle. This creates a unique and eye-catching display for a dining table or entryway console.
Remember, the key is to get creative and experiment with different ideas to find the perfect way to showcase your fabric square wreath in your space.
How Much Fabric Do I Need To Make A Fabric Wreath?
Have you ever wondered how much fabric you need to make a beautiful fabric wreath? Well, look no further.
Here, we'll discuss the key factors and considerations to help you determine the perfect amount of fabric for your wreath-making project.
Factors To Consider:
Size of the wreath:
The size of your wreath will significantly impact the amount of fabric you'll need. Larger wreaths will require more fabric, while smaller ones will need less. Consider the space where you plan to hang the wreath and choose the size accordingly.
Type of fabric:
The type of fabric you choose will also affect the amount needed. Thicker fabrics like cotton or flannel may require less fabric than sheer or lightweight fabrics. Keep in mind the desired texture and appearance of your wreath.
Style and design:
Are you planning to make a simple wreath with a single fabric color, or do you want to create a more intricate design with multiple fabric squares?
The complexity of your design will impact the amount of fabric needed. Plan your design to estimate the required quantity.
Fullness and density:
The level of fullness and density you desire for your wreath will determine the amount of fabric required. If you want a lush and full wreath, you'll need more fabric to achieve it. Consider your wreath's desired thickness and look as you calculate the fabric quantity.
Estimating The Fabric Requirement:
To estimate the fabric requirement accurately, you can follow these steps:
- Measure the diameter of the wreath form or base you'll be using.
- Determine the width and length of the fabric squares you plan to use.
- Calculate the area of a single fabric square by multiplying its width and length.
- Divide the total area of the wreath form by the area of a single fabric square.
- Round up the result to ensure you have enough fabric to account for overlapping or any mistakes.
Remember, having a little extra fabric is better than not having enough. You can always cut off any excess, but running short of fabric can be frustrating.
Calculating the amount of fabric required for your fabric wreath is an essential step to ensure a successful and beautiful outcome. You can accurately estimate how much fabric you'll need by considering size, fabric type, design, and fullness.
Caring For And Maintaining The Fabric Square Wreath
After putting in the effort to create a beautiful wreath with fabric squares, it's important to know how to care for and maintain it to ensure its longevity. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
Cleaning And Dusting The Wreath
- Regularly

If you are getting "Windows has detected an IP address conflict" error in Windows 10, this tutorial will show you how to fix.
Let me explain first what is an IP address conflict? If you have more than one device connected to your home network, you may face an issue called an IP address conflict. IP address is a unique address your computer gets while it connects to a network. So if two different computers have assigned same IP address, when they're either on Local Area Network or on the web, an IP address conflict will appear with a little notification "Windows has detected an IP address conflict"
When this occurs, your connection becomes unstable or you usually lose your connection to the network. Now let's proceed with troubleshooting the problem.
How To Fix Windows Has Detected An IP Address Conflict In Windows 10/8/7
Method 1. Restart Your Router
If you are on a Home network, turn off your router, wait for 1-2 minutes, and then power it on again and check if you still get message
Method 2. Release and Refresh IP Address
Renew or release the IP address by performing these following steps:
Step 1. Press Windows Key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin).
Step 2. After you open the Command Prompt, type the following commands and hit Enter after each:
Step 3. Wait until the command has finished, restart your system and check the problem still persists.
Method 3. Remove Statically Assigned IP Address
This error often occurs by users who have fixed IP address assigned. Hence, I highly recommended you use dynamically assigned IP address would help you to resolve this problem. To do that, follow these steps below:
Step 1. Press Windows Key + R then type ncpa.cpl in run dialog box and click OK.
Step 2. When Network Connections window opens, right click on your primary network adapter and click Properties.
Step 3. Then, on the property sheet, at Networking tab, choose Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.
Step 4. From TCP/IPv4 property sheet, at General tab, make sure that Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically are selected.
Step 5. Restart your computer then check the problem has resolved.
Method 4. Disable IPv6
According to Windows 10 users, they found that disabling IPv6 resolve IP address conflict for them.
Here's the video to help you more on this problem:

Position Slow Mode (Multicopter)
PX4 v1.15

Position Slow mode is a velocity and yaw rate limited version of the regular Position mode.
The mode works in exactly the same way as Position mode but with the controller stick deflection re-scaled to lower maximum velocities (and proportionally lower acceleration). You can use it to quickly slow down the vehicle to a safe speed (if it is moving faster than the maximum velocity in the limited axis). You can also use it to get more precision from stick input, in particular when flying close to obstacles, or to comply with regulations such as EASA's low-speed mode/function.
The velocity limits can be set using parameters, from an RC Controller rotary knob, slider, or switch, or using MAVLink. Limits set using an RC controller override those set by MAVLink, which in turn override those set using parameters. The limits can only be reduced below those for normal Position mode.
Set Limits using Parameters
The maximum values for slow mode horizontal velocity, vertical velocity, and yaw rate can be set using parameters. This approach is useful when the maximum desired speed in slow mode is fixed, and you just want to be able to quickly drop to a safer speed range (perhaps using a switch on your controller).
The table below shows the parameters used to set the maximum values for Position slow mode and Position mode, respectively, along with their default values.
AxisPosition slow modePosition mode
Horizontal velocityMC_SLOW_DEF_HVEL (3 m/s)MPC_VEL_MANUAL (10 m/s)
Vertical velocityMC_SLOW_DEF_VVEL (1 m/s)MPC_Z_VEL_MAX_UP (3 m/s) / MPC_Z_VEL_MAX_DN (1.5 m/s)
Yaw rateMC_SLOW_DEF_YAWR (45 °/s)MPC_MAN_Y_MAX (150 °/s)
From this you can see, for example, that when switching from Position mode to Position slow mode, the default maximum upward horizontal velocity is reduced from 10 m/s to 3 m/s. If traveling faster than 3 m/s horizontally you'd be slowed to 3 m/s.
Note that the parameters are used only if limits are not provided by from RC or MAVLink.
Set Limits using RC Control
You can map a rotary knob, slider, or switch, on a RC Controller to set the maximum velocity of an axis (horizontal/vertical/yaw). This approach is useful when the appropriate slow-mode maximum values can vary while flying.
If the input control is set to its highest value the vehicle will go as fast as in Position mode. If the input is set to its lowest value, the vehicle maximum velocity is set to the value in the corresponding MC_SLOW_MIN_ parameter (shown in the table below). If an RC control input is mapped for an axis it has priority over all other inputs.
The table below lists each axis along with the parameter used to select which RC AUX channel corresponds to the control knob, and the parameter that sets the lowest possible "maximum value" for the axis.
AxisParameter to map auxiliary inputParameter for minimum value of maximum velocity
Horizontal velocityMC_SLOW_MAP_HVELMC_SLOW_MIN_HVEL
Vertical velocityMC_SLOW_MAP_VVELMC_SLOW_MIN_VVEL
Yaw rateMC_SLOW_MAP_YAWRMC_SLOW_MIN_YAWR
To use this approach:
 1. Make sure you have a remote with an extra input and an extra RC channel to transmit it's position.
 2. Map the channel which contains the knobs position as one of the 6 auxiliary passthrough inputs by setting RC_MAP_AUXn to the corresponding RC channel number.
 3. Map that auxiliary input using the appropriate MC_SLOW_MAP_ parameter for the axis you want it to control (see table above).
For example, if you want to map RC channel 8 to limit the horizontal velocity you could set RC_MAP_AUX1 to the value 8 and MC_SLOW_MAP_HVEL to the value 1. The RC input from channel 8 then sets a horizontal velocity limit between MC_SLOW_MIN_HVEL and MPC_VEL_MANUAL.
You can adjust the velocity limits using the MAVLink message SET_VELOCITY_LIMITS. This approach is used primarily by automatic systems, for example to slow a vehicle when zooming a camera.
The message can set the maximum value on any of the axes by supplying a non-NAN limit value. This overrides limit values set in parameters, but is ignored if the axis is mapped to an RC knob. The value can be updated from a message at any time, and is latched until either the next message or a mode switch.
Note that PX4 does not provide velocity limit telemetry (i.e. it does not support streaming the VELOCITY_LIMITS message).

TR121 Nursery visits for Fiji kava farmers
Three farmer groups in Fiji were selected for study tours of established nurseries around Viti Levu. This report highlights the observations of and lessons learned by the groups that received training and advice on the basics of establishing and managing a nursery, soil sterilisation and grafting. The report also includes accounts of the progress made by the groups in establishing nurseries in their villages.
The idea behind the establishment of the nurseries was that farmers should not only focus on kava as a source of income but that they should also include fruit trees and vegetables that can be included in the family diets and also supplement family income. This report concludes that the concept of establishing and managing nurseries should be expanded to the other 11 provinces in Fiji to create a green revolution in agriculture.

Prima::VB::CfgMaint - maintains visual builder widget palette configuration.
The module is used by the Visual Builder and cfgmaint programs, to maintain the Visual Builder widget palette. The installed widgets are displayed in main panel of the Visual Builder, and can be maintained by cfgmaint.
The Visual Builder widget palette configuration is contained in two files - the system-wide Prima::VB::Config and the user ~/.prima/vbconfig. The user config file take the precedence when loaded by the Visual Builder. The module can select either configuration by assigning $systemWide boolean property.
The widgets are grouped in pages, which are accessible by names.
New widgets can be added to the palette by calling add_module method, which accepts a perl module file as its first parameter. The module must conform to the VB-loadable format.
This section describes format of a module with VB-loadable widgets.
The module must define a package with same name as the module. In the package, class sub must be declared, that returns an array or paired scalars, where each first item in a pair corresponds to the widget class and the second to a hash, that contains the class loading information, and must contain the following keys:
class STRING
Name of the VB-representation class, which represents the original widget class in the Visual Builder. This is usually a lightweight class, which does not contain all functionality of the original class, but is capable of visually reflecting changes to the class properties.
icon PATH
Sets an image file, where the class icon is contained. PATH provides an extended syntax for indicating a frame index, if the image file is multiframed: the frame index is appended to the path name with : character prefix, for example: "NewWidget::icons.gif:2".
module STRING
Sets the module name, that contains class.
Sets the default palette page where the widget is to be put. The current implementation of the Visual Builder provides four pages: General,Additional,Sliders,Abstract. If the page is not present, new page is automatically created when the widget class is registered.
Sets the module name, that contains the original class.
The reader is urged to explore Prima::VB::examples::Widgety file, which contains an example class Prima::SampleWidget, its VB-representation, and a property lineRoundStyle definition example.
add_module FILE
Reads FILE module and loads all VB-loadable widgets from it.
Returns string declaration of all registered classes in format of classes registration procedure ( see "FORMAT" ).
Loads class and pages information from either a system-wide or a user configuration file. If succeeds, the information is stored in _USER_ and %classes variables ( the old information is lost ) and returns 1. If fails, returns 0 and string with the error explanation; _USER_ and %classes content is undefined.
Returns array of page names
Reads information from both system-wide and user configuration files, and merges the information. If succeeds, returns 1. If fails, returns 0 and string with the error explanation.
Erases all information about pages and classes.
Writes either the system-wide or the user configuration file. If $backup flag is set to 1, the old file renamed with.bak extension. If succeeds, returns 1. If fails, returns 0 and string with the error explanation.

html code corrupted when modifying a string
0
Hi, In our email module we need to modify the body text when e.g. doing a forward of an email. The original (HTML) body text is retrieved and text (header info like to and cc addresses) is added to the new body text before it is presented to the user. We encounter several issues with emails that contain MSWord copied texts (most of them included in emails received from customers). A lot of MSWord formatting is included in the HTML and when modifying the body text HTML (adding the text) HTML characters like < and > are changed to their HTML code equivalents < causing the HTML to be treated as regular text and as such messing up e.g. bullet lists in the emails. How can we prevent this change of HTML characters to their HTML code equivalent. Kind regards, Brian Remark: Although I agree with cleaning the code to remove MSWord markup, the actual issue is caused by the conversion of the < character to & l t ; (had to add spaces otherwise it renders as <). What is causing this conversion. If I can prevent this conversion, my issue is resolved as well (and I will not have to bother about cleaning externally created emails). Any ideas what might be causing the conversion and how I can prevent it? It seems like the Mendix string modification (in a variable) in the microflow is actually doing the conversion. Any remarks are appreciated.

After some more research it turned out that the Rich Text Editor (even the latest version) is doing the incorrect translation of the < tag and as such causing the issue. I tested using a form displaying the email in a text area (so I could read the HTML code) and the replacement did not occur. Once I add the RTE to the form (while leaving the text area in the form as well), the replacement of the < is done in as well the RTE as the textarea (referring to the same attribute).
In my code I now try to replace the specific code before it is posted to the form so the text will be displayed properly to the user. Not a nice solution, but it does work.

According to the documentation tinyMCE filters the word contents when pasted. Looks like a bug in that feature.
BTW the html created by msword can be pretty complex and huge.

Maybe you could remove the MS formatting with a java-action. There are java libraries available to do this.

There is in the community commons string util section a HTMLToPlaintext java action. From the documentation: Use this function to convert HTML text to plain text. It will preserve linebreaks but strip all other markup. including html entity decoding.

Annulment or Divorce, What's the Difference? - Law and Daily Life
Annulment or Divorce, What's the Difference?
Annulments, as a general rule, require at least one of the following: 1) some type of fraud or concealment; 2) a refusal or inability to consummate the marriage (yes, that's pretty much just what it sounds like); or 3) a misunderstanding. Although "misunderstanding" sounds like a fairly broad category, it actually is usually interpreted fairly narrowly to mean a misunderstanding on some kind of a "deal-breaker" type of issue. It doesn't mean an argument or simply "not getting along". One example of a key misunderstanding might be if a couple had never discussed having children and they now found out they disagreed on the issue.
Fraud or hiding key information from a spouse might be grounds for an annulment, as well. For example, if a spouse lies about their ability to have kids (i.e. they physically can't), or hides that they have a sexually transmitted disease, these might be grounds for an annulment based on fraud or concealment.
The above noted requirements and the examples probably demonstrate why most annulments happen shortly after marriage, and in circumstances where the parties didn't know each other too long before marrying. Lastly, if a short term marriage is involved, an annulment would probably not involve any major issues such as division of property, child custody and support, etc. Below are links to more information on the topic, as well as a questionnaire for those looking into annulments.

Royal Botanical Gardens - 40 cents 1991 - Canadian stamp
- Quantity: 3 000 000
- Issue date: May 22, 1991
- Printer: Ashton-Potter Limited
- Scott: #1313
Prominent Canadian gardens are the subject of five stamps issued on May, 1991. Southern Ontario's Royal Botanical Gardens came into being as the result of the determination of two members of the Hamilton Park Board. Cecil V. Land and the Hon. Thomas Baker McQuesten wanted to create a "rival" to Britain's famous Kew Gardens. They suggested that a large tract of land near the Niagara Escarpment be set aside, and on November 12, 1929, the project began. The project provided hundreds of jobs during the Great Depression as men hauled rocks and soil to the location. Originally known simply as "Botanical Gardens" in 1930, King George V decreed that the designation "Royal" could be added and in 1941 the Ontario legislature passed the Royal Botanical Gardens Act, which established the RBG as an independent institution with scientific and educational objectives. Designer David Wyman and illustrator Gerard Gauci combined their talents to produce the designs.

When a new user logs on to a computer and they start Adobe Acrobat Standard/Pro for the first time, they will be prompted with a registration window. This may not be something you want for your users, especially not on RDS. Up until version 9, this prompt could be turned off through a registry setting, but this no longer works.
You can however also turn off the registration window through another way, during installation. Unfortunately, this requires you to uninstall and reinstall the software but the result does work perfectly.
 1. If Acrobat is already installed, uninstall it first.
 2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the installation media (or folder).
 3. Perform the installation by using msiexec, rather than setup.exe and manually add some parameters:
 msiexec /i AcroStan.msi EULA_ACCEPT=YES REGISTRATION_SUPPRESS=YES /n
 The MSI file referenced is for Acrobat Standard. Substitute the name if you're using Pro.
Note that this will install Acrobat with the default language settings. If you want to use another installer language, you will have to add an additional parameter, pointing to the correct language file (i.e. Transform file). Usually the files are in the same folder, and have the name of the numerical language identifier (click link for reference). For example, for English (US), this would be 1033.mst.
Determine the correct language identifier, then run the installer with the TRANSFORMS parameter in addition to the other parameters:
msiexec /i AcroStan.msi EULA_ACCEPT=YES REGISTRATION_SUPPRESS=YES TRANSFORMS=1033.mst /n
The command above would install the English (US) version of Acrobat Standard. Again, substitute where appropiate.
E.g. for Dutch, it would be TRANSFORMS=1043.mst.

Did You Know? Different traffic whistles in Mexico mean different things
Mayhem prevails in many Mexican cities during rush hours. The traffic in some big cities rarely seems to let up, or slow down, as vehicles jockey for the best position before becoming ensnarled in a tangled web of blocked intersections and jam-packed avenues.
Even thirty years ago, a standing joke (pun intended) in Mexico City was that the city's largest parking lot was actually the ring-road or periférico. Built originally as a means of diverting traffic away from the downtown areas, the periférico (much of it 6 lanes wide in each direction) was swallowed up in the 1960s and '70s as the city's boundaries pushed inexorably further and further into the state of Mexico. The periférico no longer helped drivers escape the clutches of Mexico City's traffic; it actively ensured that many would get trapped in it with no possible means of escape.
A casual observer of the traffic flows in most large Mexican cities could easily be forgiven for thinking that the entire experience is one best described as out-of-control anarchy.
But amazingly, some parts of the apparently chaotic daily movement of tens of thousands of vehicles between home and workplace are very carefully choreographed by traffic signs and police officials.
While most road signs, traffic signals and police gestures are self-evident, and unlikely to cause much confusion, there are some which newcomers need help to interpret correctly.
To help drivers out, police gestures are usually accompanied by penetrating whistles. These are delivered with wonderful over-statement by many traffic policemen, making them fully paid-up members of the Guild of Street Entertainers. It was several years before I discovered that their incessant whistles actually had very specific and well-defined meanings.
In Mexico City and the state of Mexico, a single short whistle means "Stop!", while two short whistles means "Carry on!". A single long whistle, however, means "Everyone stop!" Newcomers should be advised that the difference between one short and one long whistle may only become apparent when the vehicle immediately in front of them screeches to a complete, and totally unexpected, halt.
The system sounds simple enough, but, like so many facets of Mexico, it is not quite so simple as it first appears. Almost all traffic regulations are determined at either the municipal or the state, not federal, level. The fine print of traffic statutes therefore varies from one state to the next. The precise body positions used by the police when giving hand gestures (at least those used in directing traffic...), as well as the number, length and meaning of whistles, are all defined in the regulations.
Almost all states agree that one short whistle means "Stop!", while two short whistles still means "Carry on!". For other indications, though, the airwaves are somewhat more crowded.
For instance, in the states of Guanajuato and Nuevo León, three or more short whistles means "Speed up!" This is deceptively similar to the situation in Jalisco, where four short whistles means "Speed up!". However, while in Jalisco, you'd better be aware that three "regular length" (i.e. neither long nor short) whistles are an indication for "All traffic to stop!" Newcomers who slam their brakes on when they hear three normal whistles in Guadalajara should beware of any Guanajuato or Nuevo León plated vehicle immediately behind them, whose driver may already be pressing his or her foot hard down to the accelerator...
Making matters even more complicated, while we have already seen that a single long whistle in Mexico City means "Everyone stop!", in Jalisco, it officially means "Take care!" or "Proceed with caution!"
So, next time you're caught in rush hour, or hopelessly lost while trying to navigate through an unfamiliar city, listen carefully, and at least avoid infringing, even accidentally, any of the many sound (pun intended) commands issued by traffic officials.
Drive safely, and remember, "Your children are waiting for you" and "Better late than never!"

B. Akakiev: Market size of isotope production will rise to US $ 8 billion by 2017
The global market of isotope production will reach about US $ 8 billion by 2017 with an average annual growth rate of 10.4%.
Currently, the market is estimated at US $ 4,8 billion, where medical products are 80% of its volume. Boris Akakiev, Acting General Director of JSC Isotope presented such information, speaking at the 1st International Business Conference for producers, suppliers and consumers of isotope production. According to him, 70% of isotope production consumer market is situated in North America and Western Europe. USA is considered to be the largest consumer, accounting for 50%.
According to B. Akakiev, the most part of isotope production, manufactured by Rosatom enterprises, is exported. Russia takes the leading position in the field of radiation technologies for a variety of products, in particular, Russia is the leader in the production of cesium-137, carbon-14, americium-241. Over the past 20 years, the Russian export isotope production increased six times. As explained B. Akakiev to Nuclear.Ru, growth happened because of "not the expense of raw materials, but by high-tech products - sources of radiation." He also specified that sales volume of JSC Isotope in 2011 amounted to about 1.6 billion rubles.

The Office of Educational Partnerships and Diversity
In the video below, two recent UW School of Dentistry graduates, Danielle Stimson and Jessica Bremerman, share their experiences of what being a Native American in dentistry is like.
There is a great lack of access to dental care in many communities throughout Washington state. In addition, there is an underrepresentation of dentists and other oral health care providers from under-served communities. Causes include poverty and lack of education and knowledge of educational opportunities.
The Office of Educational Partnerships and Diversity works to build infrastructure to support projects in which Dental students can play an important role in helping alleviate many of these problems. Dental students provide much needed care, and act as teachers and mentors to youth from these communities. Community interaction of this type, has the potential to not only improve the oral health of the under-served community directly but also increase the number of dentists, educators and leaders within these communities in the long term.


.facilty.naming.rdb.SequenceIdAllocator'. containing only the long allocateId(long seqValue, Object key) method. To specify the use of an identifier allocator, you have to put the class name as value associated to the key 'sql-seq-allocator'.
 Even if the identifier is allocated by a sequence you can want to have access to the identifier field. You can declare a persistent field as primary which the type is long or java.lang.Long. If you choose 'long' the null references are stored with the -1 value. If you choose 'java.lang.long' the null references are with the NULL SQL value.
 NOTE: The other datastore identity types (autoassign, increment, uuid-string and uuid-hex) will be supported later.
 7. Primitive fields
 8. With Speedo a field is a primitive field when its types is a primitive type or a wrapper to a primitive type. Here is the list of field types manages as primitive type in Speedo:
 Its is not required to declare primitive fields in the .jdo file, excepted if you want to specify constraints or column name. In the .jdo file a persistent field is declared thanks to the 'field' xml node (sub node of 'class' node) Here a simple example.
 <field name="myField"/>
 JDO 2 specification defines several attributs to declare constraints:
 In relational support a primitive field is mapped over a single column. The column definition can be specified with the sub xml node column as shwon by the following example:
 <field name="myField">
 <column name="MY_COL" sql-type="VARCHAR(28)"/>
 </field>
 On this column tag, the 'sql-type', the 'size' or the 'scale' can be specified.
 The 'sql-type' is the SQL column type.
 The 'size' attribut is useful for String, BigDecimal or BigInteger fields. For BigXXX fields, this property represents the number of digits (integer + decimal). For String fields, the attribut represents the maximal String length. This attribut is ignored if the sql-type attribut is specified.
 The 'scale' attribut is useful for float and double field. This attribut is ignored if the sql-type attribut is specified.
 'field-converter' extension
 An extension named 'field-converter' permits to change the usual translation between the memory type and the data support type for a primitive field. For example, if the user has a legacy relationnal database, it can map an integer field into a String (VARCHAR on a RDB). To do this, the user must implement the org.objectweb.speedo.api.UserFieldMapping interface provided by Speedo. This implementation is able to convert a memory value to a data store value and reversly. Finally, the user must indicate, as value of the extenstion 'field-converter', the class name of the interface implementation.
 <field name="f1">
 <extension vendor-name="speedo" key="field-converter"
 value="com.foo.bar.String2intConverter"/>
 </field>
 And here is the source code of the String2intConverter class:
 package com.foo.bar;
 public class String2intConverter implements UserFieldMapping {
 public Class getStorageType() {
 return String.class;
 }
 public Class getMemoryType() {
 return Integer.TYPE;
 }
 public Object toMemory(Object storagevalue) {
 return Integer.valueOf((String) storagevalue)
 }
 public Object toStorage(Object memoryvalue) {
 return (memoryvalue == null ? null : memoryvalue.toString());
 }
 }
 'user-cache' extension
 The extension named 'user-cache' permits to specify that a primitive field is a part of an unique index in an user cache. For more details about the user cache feature see the corresponding chapter. The value of the extension is the name of the user cache. If the index of the cache is composite, you simply have to specify the extension for each field with the same user cache name. A class can have several unique indexes.
 The following examples a class containg 4 fields. The fields 'id' is the identifier (primary key). The couple (f1,f2) is a secondary key. The field 'f3' is another key.
 <field name="id" primary-key="true"/>
 <field name="f1">
 <extension vendor-name="speedo" key="user-cache"
 value="myCache1"/>
 </field>
 <field name="f2">
 <extension vendor-name="speedo" key="user-cache"
 value="myCache1"/>
 </field>
 <field name="f3">
 <extension vendor-name="speedo" key="user-cache"
 value="myCache2"/>
 </field>
 9. Direct reference to persistent instance
 10. A reference field is a field which references one persistent instance. In case of there is no bidirectional relationship (no reverse field), the reference to the other persistent class is mapped over column in tables of the field owner class. In other words the foreign-key is in the table of class owning the reference. The column corresponding to the foreign key can be defined with 'column' attribute or sub xml node. Below is a simple example of showing a reference from the class 'A' to the class 'B'. The class 'A' is stored on the 'TA' table whereas the class 'B' is stored on the 'TB' table.
 class A {
 String myIda;
 B myB;
 }
 class B {
 long myIdb;
 }
 Below is the corresponding jdo file part describing both persistent class and the mapping of the reference:
 <class name="A" identity-type="application" table="TA">
 <field name="myIda" primary-key="true" column="IDA"/>
 <field name="myB" column="FK_IDB"/>
 </class>
 <class name="B" identity-type="application" table="TB">
 <field name="myIdb" primary-key="true" column="IDB"/>
 </class>
 The 'column' defines the name of the foreign key column (FK_IDB). As the referenced class has an identified composed of a single column (IDB), the correspondance is implicit.
 If the identifier of the referenced class is composite, you have to specify the target column for each column of the foreign key as shown by the following example:
 <class name="A" identity-type="application" table="TA">
 <field name="myIda" primary-key="true" column="IDA"/>
 <field name="myB">
 <column name="FK_IDB1" target="IDB1"/>
 <column name="FK_IDB2" target="IDB2"/>
 </field>
 </class>
 <class name="B" identity-type="application" table="TB">
 <field name="myIdb1" primary-key="true" column="IDB1"/>
 <field name="myIdb2" primary-key="true" column="IDB2"/>
 </class>
 11. Multivalued fields (Collection, Set, List, Map)
 12. A multivalued field is a field referencing several primitive values or several persistent instances (mixing is forbiden). Speedo supports several types of structure (java.util.Collection, java.util.Set, java.util.List, ...). This chapter is divided in several parts corresponding to the content of multivalued field and the type of structure.
 Reference to several primitive values
 When a multivalued field references a collection of primitive values, an additional table is required. This table must be join to the main table of the field owner. Currently, Speedo supports only joins based on the identifier. Here is an example of a 'A' persistent class references a set of String value.
 class A {
 String ida;
 Collection strings;
 }
 <class name="A" >
 <field name="ida" primary-key="true" column="IDA"/>
 <field name="strings" table="T_SET">
 <collection element-type="String"/>
 <element column="STR"/>
 <join column="FKIDA"/>
 </field>
 </class>
 The sets of String are stored into the 'T_SET' table. The column corresponding to the element is STR. The join to this table is based on the identifier of the class. The foreign key column is 'FKIDA'. If the id

Stranded Polar Bear Floats Down London's Thames
A very large polar bear was spotted traveling down the River Thames, under the Tower Bridge and past Parliament in London today.
Lifelike as it seemed, the 1.5-ton structure -- built by 15 artists in 18 days -- floated down the river to raise awareness of the melting ice caps and the larger picture… climate change (see video below).
The melting of the ice caps threatens polar bear's lives because their habitat is literally disappearing. The 2 billion people depending on glacial meltwater for irrigation and drinking are also faced with serious consequences.
This 16-foot-high sculpture of a mother and cub holding on to life was commissioned by Eden, a new digital television channel featuring natural history programs. Wildlife broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, narrator of series including Life on Earth and Fragile Earth, said the display spreads the message that our environment is currently unbalanced and events like the polar bears extinction will have extreme repercussions.

Can A Kidney Patient Eat Pomengranate
2015-08-19 08:05
Can A Kidney Patient Eat PomengranateCan a kidney patient eat pomengranate or not? Drinking pomengranate juice or eating pomengranate benefits our health and skin in a myriad of ways. Pomengranate has been used for medicinal purposes like diarrhea, high blood pressure and high blood sugar, etc. Kidney disease patients can get the following health benefits from eating pomengranate:
1. Reduce high blood pressure
High blood pressure can be a cause and complication of kidney disease. It can worsen kidney condition and cause further kidney damage. Patients should lower high blood pressure through diet and medical treatment. Pomengranates also known to reduce high blood pressure. Thus, kidney disease patients can eat pomengranate moderately.
2. Alleviate anemia
Anemia is a common sign or symptoms in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Anemia is a condition caused by the deficiency of red blood cells in the body. Since pomengranate juice contains plenty of iron, it is able to surmount the red blood cell deficiency in the body so as to alleviate anemia to some extent.
3. Reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases
Using Pomengranate juice aimed at reducing the high cardiovascular morbidity of CKD patients and their deterioration to end-stage renal disease should be conducted.
Generally speaking, pomengranate can ward off a number of complications in kidney disease patients. However, it is not enough for patients to only eat pomengranate in the treatment of kidney disease. Apart from pomengranate and other healthy foods, kidney disease patients need to take medical treatment. The key point is to repair injured kidneys and improve kidney function. In western medicine, there is no effective way to improve kidney function while Chinese medicines can dilate blood vessels, prevent inflammation and coagulation, degrade extracellular matrix, and provide necessary nutrients so as to promote the self-healing of kidney intrinsic cells and gradually enhance renal function. When kidney function is improved, patients can live a high quality life.
