Tributary areas extension
SCIA Engineer 17.0 introduced a new method for transfer of surface loads to load bearing elements: the "Tributary area" method. This release (SCIA Engineer 17.1) extends this functionality and also openings defined in panels are properly taken in account. It relates to panel types: "Load to edges" and "Load to edges and beams".
|Extension of tributary areas method for distribution of surface loads with openings|
The tributary areas for load distribution are now properly determined for both supported and unsupported opening edges. However there are still some limitations, e.g. curved opening edges are not supported and, such openings are ignored when tributary areas are created and load generated. Moreover, there is one special situation when the openings in panels are also ignored. This happens when an opening divides the tributary area into two or more parts and at least one of the parts is not connected to any supported element. The reason is that first, the tributary areas are generated and then the openings are subtracted.
If an opening is taken in account, the load is correctly reduced. If the opening is fully inside the tributary area, the load is summed up from both sides of the opening and applied to the supported element.

Use the crops on the logs to help grow your flowers and make your rows. As your flower seed is sat in the slime you will need to move it down to towards the edge of the slime. You won't get any more seeds fall down until the seed on the board is germinated.
Combinations or shovels will break ice, and grab as many crops as you can gather on the grass as you will get extra points. Most of it is under the ice so it needs to be broken.

Cut a 1 yard (1 meter) length of B. Knot one end of B length to one end of A. Thread the unknotted end of B into blunt needle.
As you coil A to make the Cap, you will sew over the strand to secure it as follows:
1. Bring blunt needle to the right side between the A strand you are working with and the already coiled A strand.
2. Draw B strand over the A strand, then back out between the A strands a short distance away.
3. Repeat Step 2 as you work, always securing the strand of A that you are working on to the previously coiled A strand.
On a flat surface, coil knotted end of A into a small circle. Secure the spiral shape by sewing over the strands with B. Continue to coil A into a spiral and to secure the spiral by sewing over the strands with B. When circle measures about 6 1/2 in. (cm) across, pull A a bit tighter so that the circle doesn't get wider but begins to take on a Cap shape. Continue coiling A, sewing it in place with B and checking the fit as you work, until Cap is the desired size.
Knot end of B to secure.
Use your fingers to weave in the A yarn ends, and blunt needle to weave in the B yarn ends.

Brandl & Schlesinger, $29.95 pb, 309 pp
Rhyll McMaster established her considerable reputation as a poet in the 1970s and 1980s. Feather Man is her début novel. In a first-person narrative, the protagonist recounts her life story from the time when she was a child living in suburban Brisbane in the 1950s until her emergence as a painter in London in the 1970s. It is a Kunstleroman divided into four parts, each named for a significant male character who shapes her relationship to art. The narrator's name is withheld until near the end, when we learn that, somewhat ambiguously, her classically educated father named her 'Lyce', from Horace's Odes on Love.

Boride Powder
Calcium Hexaboride CaB6 Powder CAS 12007-99-7
Item No.: Tr-CaB6
Calcium hexaboride (sometimes calcium boride) is a compound of calcium and boron with the chemical formula CaB6. It is an important material due to its high electrical conductivity, hardness, chemical stability, and melting point.
Purity: 99.5%
Calcium Hexaboride Properties
About Calcium Hexaboride CaB6 Powder:
Calcium hexaboride (calcium boride) is a compound of calcium and boron, with the chemical formula CaB6. Due to its high conductivity, hardness, chemical stability and melting point, it is an important material. It is a black, shiny, chemically inert powder with low density. It has a typical cubic structure of six metal boride, with octahedral units of six boron atoms and calcium atoms.
CaB6 has been investigated in the past due to a variety of peculiar physical properties, such as superconductivity, valence fluctuation and Kondo effects. However, the most remarkable property of CaB6 is its ferromagnetism. It occurs at unexpectedly high temperatures (600K) and with a low magnetic moment. The origin of this high-temperature ferromagnetism is the ferromagnetic phase of the dilute electron gas, linkage to the presumed excitonic state in calcium boride, or external impurities on the surface of the sample. The impurities might include iron and nickel, probably coming from impurities in the boron used to prepare the sample.
CaB6 is insoluble in H2O, MeOH (methanol), and EtOH (ethanol) and dissolves slowly in acids. Its microhardness is 27 GPa, Knoop hardness is 2600 kg/mm2), the Young modulus is 379 GPa, and electrical resistivity is greater than 2·1010 Ω·m for pure crystals. CaB6 is a semiconductor with an energy gap estimated at 1.0 eV. The low, semi-metallic conductivity of many CaB6 samples can be explained by unintentional doping due to impurities and possible non-stoichiometry. Feel free to send an inquiry to get the latest price if you would like to buy Calcium Hexaboride CaB6 Powder in bulk.
Product Performance of Calcium Hexaboride CaB6 Powder:
Calcium boride has the characteristics of high melting point and high hardness. Its physical and chemical properties are quite stable. When calcined in air, sub-micron CaB6 will only gain weight after 800 degrees Celsius and is not easy to oxidize. CaB6 is generally insoluble in hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, so technically to remove impurity materials by hot hydrochloric acid, but CaB6 is soluble in nitric acid.
How is Calcium Hexaboride CaB6 Powder produced?
One of the main reactions of industrial production is:
CaO + 3 B2O3 + 10 Mg→CaB6 + 10 MgO
Other methods of producing CaB6 powder include:
Calcium or calcium oxide reacts directly with boron at 1000°C;
Ca + 6B→CaB6
Ca(OH)2 reacts with boron under a vacuum of about 1700°C (carbothermal reduction);
Ca（OH）2 + 7B→CaB6 + BO（g）+ H2O（g）
The reaction of calcium carbonate and boron carbide under vacuum above 1400°C (Carbothermal reduction)
CaO and H3BO3 react with Mg to 1100°C.
Low temperature (500°C) synthesis
CaCl2 + 6NaBH4→CaB6 + 2NaCl + 12H2 + 4Na
As a result, the material quality is relatively poor.
In order to produce, for example, pure CaB6 single crystals used as cathode materials, the CaB6 powder thus obtained is further recrystallized and purified by zone melting technology. The typical growth rate is 30 cm/h, and the crystal size is about 1x10 cm.
Single crystal CaB6 nanowires (diameter 15-40 nm, length 1-10 microns) can be obtained by pyrolyzing diborane (B2H6) on calcium oxide (CaO) powder at 860-900°C in the presence of Ni catalyst.
Technical Parameter of Calcium Hexaboride CaB6 Powder:
Product Name MF Purity Particle Size Bulk Density Melting Point Color
Calcium Hexaboride CaB6 99.5% -325 mesh 2.33 g/cm3 2230℃ Gray Black
Application of Calcium Hexaboride CaB6 Powder:
1. Used as a boron-containing additive for dolomite charcoal and magnesium dolomite charcoal refractories to resist oxidation, erosion and improve the thermal strength.
2. Used as a deoxidizing and degassing agent for highly conductive red copper to improve conductivity and strength.
3. Used as a new type of material for preventing neutrons in the nuclear industry.
4. Used as a new type of semiconductor material in spin electronic components with a temperature of 900K.
5. Used as a raw material for manufacturing boron trichloride (BCl3) and amorphous boron.
6. Used as a raw material for manufacturing high-purity metal borides (TiB2, ZrB2, HfB2, etc.) and high-purity boron alloys (Ni-B, Co-B, Cu-B, etc.).
7. Used to manufacture a mixture of catalyst-containing calcium-boron nitride (Ca3B2N4) and hexagonal boron nitride, and to produce crystal cubic boron nitride with excellent performance.
Storage Condition of Calcium Hexaboride CaB6 Powder:
Damp reunion will affect CaB6 powder dispersion performance and using effects, therefore, calcium hexaboride CaB6 powder should be sealed in vacuum packing and stored in cool and dry room, the calcium hexaboride can not be exposure to air. In addition, the CaB6 powder should be avoided under stress.
Packing & Shipping of Calcium Hexaboride CaB6 Powder:
We have many different kinds of packing which depends on the calcium hexaboride CaB6 powder quantity.
Calcium hexaboride CaB6 powder packing: vacuum packing, 1kg/bag, 25kg/barrel, or as your request.
Calcium hexaboride CaB6 powder shipping: could be shipped out by sea, by air, by express as soon as possible once payment receipt.

OLD UNION, TX (LIMESTONE COUNTY)
OLD UNION, TEXAS (Limestone County). Old Union is just south of Farm Road 3371 and twelve miles southeast of Groesbeck in southeastern Limestone County. It was named for an early interdenominational church. Its population was estimated at 100 in the mid-1930s. A church, a sawmill, two other businesses, and several scattered houses marked the site in the late 1940s, by which time the number of residents had risen to 150. In the 1980s and early 1990s the community's population was reported at twenty-five, and only the church and cemetery were shown on maps of the area.

I have two lists,
List A [Document Number, Name, Title,...] (document library)
List B [Information Number, Name, Title, Document Number] (simple list)
Now List B is getting all documents from List A as lookup column and letting user add documents name to List B specific Information Number, which can have 0, 1 or many documents.
I wonder what would be the best way to get all lookup fields values (document's name but no duplicates) that are associated with any Information Number item in a ascending order by Information Number.
For example:
List B,
 Item A - Document 1, Document 9, Document 3
 Item B - DOcument 2, Document 3, Document 4, Document 5
 Item C - Document 1, Document 5, Document 9, Document 0.8
Now the output I would like is something like this,
Document 1, Document 9, Document 3, Document 2, Document 4, Document 5, Document 0.8
Can I use CAML query or through C# code, and an example code would be appreciated.

If you use a version of .net that support LINQ you can use the Distinct function after a conversion of your value:
var collectionWithDistinctElements = oldArray.Distinct().ToArray();
otherwise you can use the hast table
var list = new HashSet<string> { };
list.Add("a");
list.Add("a");
var countItems = list.Count(); //in this case countItems=1

I used SPQuery to get list items from both lists and then filtered the only ones I need. After I stored them in a List class and used IComparable class to sort them out accordingly.
Hope it helps if anyone else encountered same problem.

, but it becomes quicker at night when foraging for food, and when being blown by the wind, the origin of the Thai name "Ling Lom". When startled, it will cover its face with its arms, the origin of another Thai name, "Nang Ai". It is not often that they show themselves in Khao Yai National Park.
Scientific Name : Arctictis binturong
This carnivore is a viverrid in the same family as civets and genets. Its face resembles a bear and it is sometimes called a "bearcat", in Thai "Meekhor". It has a thick coat of coarse black hair. The tail is bushy like a squirrel, earning another Thai name, "Mee-krarork". The tail is prehensile and able to grip branches. The ears are rounded and terminated by tufts of black hair. Hair on the head is grey, but some binturongs have white hair on their face. They mostly forage at night and rest by day in tree hollows or bushes. Usually solitary, it is possible to sometimes to see a small group, such as a mother with a pup. Its diet is fruit, insects and small reptiles. It is an exceptional tree-climber with its prehensile tail gripping one branch after another. It can also swim well. Like the loris, it is rather rare in Khao Yai National Park.


Fairy tale feasts
A delightful cookbook: "Jewish Fairy Tale Feasts: A Literary Cookbook" Tales retold by Jane Yolen, recipes by Heidi E.Y. Stemple. (Crocodile Books)
Renowned storyteller Jane Yolen and daughter Heidi E.Y. Stemple are making magic again.
They've written another cookbook for kids, and it's delightful.
"Jewish Fairy Tale Feasts: A Literary Cookbook" is filled with lovely illustrations by collage artist Sima Elizabeth Shefrin. There are 18 recipes, including latkes, kugel and blintzes, spiced with an equal number of folk tales. Whether it's "The Latke Miracle" or "The Wheat Came in at the Door" or "How to Know a Noodle," Yolen's storytelling enriches each folk tale.
That food and folk tales are so intertwined shouldn't be surprising. They are among our oldest traditions.
"We eat and we entertain ourselves with stories. There's also a great female aspect because in the old days it was the woman in the kitchen and telling stories to the children," says Yolen during a phone chat with the authors from Yolen's Massachusetts home. "Both of them are arts and skills, and even if you have very little talent for each, you can do something within the family as part of the storytelling and cooking."
Chimed in Stemple, "These are both things that families do together and they're multigenerational. You can tell a story and a child will get one level of it and a parent will get another. With cooking, it's the same."
Get a taste of our weekly Food and Wine newsletter
And while it may sometimes seem easier to chase kids out of the kitchen with an "I'm just cooking a meal," Stemple, who's cooked with her two daughters, including the now-18-year old who helped test recipes, urged otherwise.
"You can say, 'We need to peel the carrots and that's your job' and somebody else needs to stir the batter and that's a job for your younger sibling," said Stemple. "It depends on the recipe, the child and the kitchen. My kitchen has some enormous sharp knives. It has gas. The water is turned up scalding hot. My kitchen is not where a 7-year-old should go into and cook on her own."
"We're just hoping the book becomes a tradition with families, especially if they're families who haven't had much of a story and a cooking tradition because I think that we make it simple to love," said Yolen, who's written a hundred-plus books. "Cooking and telling stories are the way to have that wonderful family time that we're all regretting that we don't seem to have anymore."
The authors have designed the book to appeal to all ages for, as they note, recipes and folk tales have always been adaptable. Recipes get tweaked by cooks to suit their taste buds, skills and budgets. So do stories, whether the listener is a toddler or teenager.
"Be playful with both these stories and recipes," the authors write. "First make (and) tell them exactly as they are here, and then begin to experiment. Recipes and stories are made more beautiful, more filling more memorable by what you put into them."
This recipe from "Jewish Fairy Tale Feasts" is adapted from Jane Yolen's grandmother.
Rinse, core and cut 6 large apples, such as Macintosh or Granny Smith, into medium-size chunks; leave skins on. Put apples in a large pot with 1/4 cup water, 1 cinnamon stick or 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and, if you like, 1 tablespoon to 1/2 cup sugar depending on how sweet you like it. Heat to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally until all apples are mushy and skins are peeling off, 15-20 minutes. Set a colander in a large bowl. Scoop apples into it. Mash apples, using a wooden spoon or spatula to press apples through colander. Makes: 2 cups

In 2020, I found wild Giant Water Bug in several places, but where can I find the habitat of Giant Water Bug in Japan, and can even an amateur find them?The scientific name for the Japanese Giant Water Bug is Kirkaldyia deyrolli.
The Giant Water Bug is an interesting species in captivity, but I wanted to find one in the wild, learn about its actual habitat, and maybe even take some ecological photos!
I was in a hurry and couldn't get a good shot, but I was happy to find a Giant Water Bug and see it preying on a frog.
The Giant Water Bug from Japan became a protected species in 2020, but it is not subject to regulation for individuals to raise it as a hobby.
Expedition to Giant Water Bug's habitat
I have never thought of a collecting expedition because I don't have a driver's license. It would be too difficult to go to a distant wetland by train with a large luggage.
In 2020, a friend of mine invited me to go collecting, and I went looking for Giant Water Bug several times.
As a result, I found a Giant Water Bug on the second trip, and on the third trip, I asked my wife to drive us to a different location and found a Giant Water Bug.
Therefore, the level of difficulty in collecting Giant Water Bug in the Kanto region of Japan is such that a knowledgeable person can find it even if they start from scratch.
Aquatic Insects in the Year 2020
Looking for the Giant Water Bug resulted in finding other aquatic insects as well. Here are a few photos.
An approach to finding a habitat for Giant Water Bug
If you were trying to find the habitat of the Giant Water Bug from scratch, what would be the best way to do it?
Ask someone to pinpoint the Giant Water Bug's habitat
The easiest way is to ask someone to pinpoint the habitat of the Giant Water Bug. However, this is not interesting because it is a matter of course that wherever they are, they are.
I have had people tell me where to find Giant Water Bug, but it is important to have the experience of finding the habitat of Giant Water Bug by yourself based on a hypothesis.
Narrow down the approximate habitat area from past records.
If I were to be too specific, it would identify the habitat, so I will be blunt. For example, if I write about XX prefecture, it is too wide and I can't consider the habitat. If it's not in your hometown, you will have to narrow it down to the city level because of the travel time to get there.
From past records and information about seeing Giant Water Bugs on Twitter, we can usually tell which areas have been confirmed to be inhabited by them even in the recent past.
For example, the Giant Water Bug is widespread and thinly distributed in the northern Kanto region of Japan. They fly several kilometers during the breeding season, so there is no reason to go there just because you happen to find one in the city.
What should I do to narrow down a few more candidates?
Consider the habitat requirements of the Giant Water Bug.
If we work backwards from the causes of the Giant Water Bug's decline, we can see where they are still breeding today.
The Giant Water Bug is the apex of the ecosystem and is extremely vulnerable to pesticides. Therefore, a place where aquatic insects, which are in the lower part of the ecosystem, are also abundant and free from pesticides is a good candidate.
Specifically, the place where the pesticides of the fields flow downstream and crayfish and bullfrogs have invaded and become dead colored water without water plants is unlikely.
If there are enough small shrimps, loaches, or some aquatic insects in the net each time, the expectation of finding a Giant Water Bug will increase.
On the other hand, if the net is filled with crayfish every time, or if we hear the croaking of bullfrogs, we will sigh and retreat.
In terms of probability, Giant Water Bug is not found in fast flowing or deep water, because its larvae are not very good swimmers.
Giant Water Bugs are more likely to be found in waterways next to rice fields and unbanked waterways up to 20cm deep. Concrete waterway with fast flowing water are unlikely to have Giant Water Bugs, and even if there are Giant Water Bugs, it is probably just a coincidence that they have been swept away.
TThe photo shows a place where there is supposed to be a nice waterway, but it has just been renovated. There were still some small Water Beetles swimming around in the surrounding puddles, so the Giant Water Bug was unlikely.
What is "Yatsuda"? Rice paddies in the valley.
There is a topography called "Yatsuda" as a habitat for Giant Water Bug that meet these conditions. Yatsuda is a paddy field environment using "Yato".
Yato is a valley-like topography formed by the erosion of hills. Both sides are hilly, and rice fields spread between them, and there are reservoirs and thin water flows upstream.
Although the impact of pesticides is limited in such topography, it is difficult to modernize, it is easy to become fallow fields or abandoned, and it is easy to become land.
How to view and manage potential sites in Google Maps
I was going to write about how to preview collection spots in Google Maps and how to manage candidate sites in Google Maps, but it would be too long, so I'll write about it in another article.
We are unable tPlease note that I cannot answer questions like "Please tell me the habitat of Giant Water Bug" from strangers. I can't answer questions like that. We'll get to know each other better and then we'll go collecting and observing together.

Myrtle rust: why local New Zealand species are under threat
Myrtle rust: why local New Zealand species are under threat
Sadly, the discovery of more sites in New Zealand infected with myrtle rust suggests that it is here to stay. Originally from South America, myrtle rust invaded Australia in 2010 and rapidly spread. Botanist Lara Shepherd discusses what Australian scientists have discovered about myrtle rust over the last seven years.
What does myrtle rust infect?
Myrtle rust infects members of the Myrtaceae plant family. The Myrtaceae is Australia's dominant plant family with over 1,600 native species, including over 500 species of Eucalyptus.
Experiments have shown that there is a big range in the vulnerability of different Australian species to myrtle rust infection. Some species are highly susceptible (all individuals infected), other species show no signs of infection.
Resistance to myrtle rust
Resistance to myrtle rust is linked to variation at a number of genes called 'resistance genes'.
Plants which contain these 'resistance genes' are able to defend themselves against infection.
However, most Myrtaceae species show a range of infection rates – within these species there are both gene variants that protect them from myrtle rust as well as gene variants that make them susceptible.
The species that vary in their susceptibility often show differences in infection rates across the landscape with populations in one part of the range more susceptible to infection than populations elsewhere.
This finding emphasises the importance of conserving local populations of native species, even for species that are common with widespread distributions.

Conserving local populations of native species
Clearing a few hectares of kānuka (like this farmer decided to do) may seem minor, but if the population destroyed harbours the only resistance genes to myrtle rust, or another disease, then the results could be devastating to the long-term survival of the species.
Similarly, creating monocultures using a subset of a species that are selected for some desirable character, such as mānuka that produces high UMF honey, can similarly put a species at risk from new pests and diseases by reducing the overall genetic variation.
Infection trials of nine New Zealand Myrtaceae species in cultivation overseas have shown that all became infected with myrtle rust. But what we don't yet know is whether any of our species contain resistance genes somewhere within their distributions.
Pohutukawa is a striking member of the Myrtaceae family.

Threat to the Bartlett's rātā
Scientists are particularly concerned about the impact that myrtle rust may have on our Bartlett's rātā – there are only 25 individuals remaining in the wild and genetic variation within the species is very limited. If one Bartlett's rātā become infected it is likely that they all will.
 1. I have two different kinds of guava tree growing at home in Auckland. Is guava more suceptible to myrtle rust than other trees? Should they be watched more closely? And removed immediately when infected? How to dispose of infected plants?
 Can photos of different infected species be published across all media, including local newspapers, to get feedback from the public on the occurrence and spread of this over time?
 What is the best way to recognise resistant populations? Repeated general surveys of absence and presence might provide baseline reference points that make it easier to recognise resistance sooner.

 Hi Peter,
 I'm not sure how susceptible guava is to myrtle rust – hopefully you won't find out! If you do notice something on your trees that might be myrtle rust then don't touch it – MPI says to do the following:
 Call the MPI Exotic Pest and Disease Hotline immediately on 0800 80 99 66.
 If you have a camera or phone camera, take clear photos, including the whole plant, the whole affected leaf, and a close-up of the spores/affected area of the plant.
 Don't touch it or try to collect samples as this may increase the spread of the disease.
 Of course their advice may change if myrtle rust becomes widespread. Naturewatch ( would be a great way to track the spread of myrtle rust because photos, the date and location is recorded for each sighting. As of today no one has recorded it on that platform yet.
 In order to test for resistant populations in Australian plants scientists deliberately infected plants in cultivation. This would have required an available source of cultivated plants from a range of locations. I'm not sure if this kind of research is being done in New Zealand.
 2. But what are the effects of Myrtle rust? Does it kill the plant or are the effects different per individual plant or species? What are the effects?
 PS Myrtle Rust, a great name for the main character in a novel.
 1. Author
 Hi Harm,
 According to the Australian Department of Environment and Energy website:
 'The disease can cause deformed leaves, heavy defoliation of branches, reduced fertility, dieback, stunted growth, and plant death.'
 My understanding is that the severity of the effects depends on how susceptible the particular species is. Also seedlings are more likely to die that adults because of all the new growth they have.
 I agree about Myrtle Rust being a great character name – she'd have to be the villan though!
 3. Why is it only found in Nurseries so far, does that imply they swap plants.
 Is the Government going to provide funding to find a cure for it, so far, no plants with the rust samples have been sent to the scientists at Callaghan.
 1. Author
 Not necessarily – myrtle rust likes sheltered damp, warm situations like nurseries. Also the plants are small so the leaves can be checked (not like a 20m tall rata!) and nursery workers have been looking for it. So research has been done by Scion but mostly around identifying Myrtaceae:
 4. Did I miss the media release advising of extra funding for DoC to address this profound risk?
 5. Genetic engineering would answer the question
 1. Not necessarily true, there is actual NATURAL genetic resistance and tolerance in myrtaceae plants to this fungus, as we have seen in Australia over the past 7 years. It will be mch better R&D investment to explore existing resistance genes rather than a blunt costly tool of genetic engineering
 2. Completely agree with Nick on this one Peter – GE is NOT the best response. In 2015 I presented a review of naturally-occurring resistance in forest trees to newly introduced pathogens at the Kauri Dieback symposium held in Hokianga (it's posted on YouTube). Bottom line is resistance virtually always occurs… just not often at high – or even moderate – frequency when the pathogen is a newly introduced pathogen. In fact the first resistance gene in a forest tree species to be characterised was in sugar pine – to western white pine blister rust. Also, GE is very expensive to develop and requires years of R&D to develop suitable plant delivery systems that are sufficiently robust and allow a wide range of genotypes to be transformed. Better off screening for naturally occurring resistance and propagating from those. In the case of Bartletts Rata, if all remaining individuals are susceptible then maybe a gene editing approach using resistance gene sequences from other myrtaceae would be more appropriate than transgenesis.
 6. I worry about spp found in primarily damp habitats, eg the subcanopy rata spp. Just hope that MPI/DOC collecting seed and cuttings from a wide range of habitats of all native Myrtaceae ie many thousands of samples.
 7. Thanks Lara. Very helpful. Sobering examples.

Transport in the Phloem
Transport of Organic Solutes
 1. Girdling Experiments:
 2. Assimilates: products of assimilation & metabolism
The Pressure-Flow Mechanism
 1. Study how the laboratory system with the two osmometers is set up and how it works. This system shows how bulk flow occurs in the phloem of plants.
 2. Bulk flow (mass flow).
 3. Flow through the sieve tubes is passive, occurring in response to the pressure gradient caused by osmotic diffusion of water into sieve tubes at the source end of the system & out of the sieve tubes at the sink end of the system.
 4. Cytoplasmic streaming does not occur in mature sieve elements & thus cannot play a role in phloem transport.
Two osmometers illustrating the pressure-flow theory of solute translocation
A lab model showing two osmometers that illustrates the pressure-flow theory of solute translocation in phloem
Testing the Hypothesis

 1. Phloem anatomy
 2. Rates of Phloem Transport
 3. Transported Solutes
 4. Phloem Loading: Mesophyll cells have osmotic potentials of -1.3 to -1.8 MPa. Sieve elements in leaves have osmotic potentials of -2.0 to -30. MPa. Osmotic potential is caused by presence of sugars. Sugar concentration is approximately 1.5 - 3 times higher in sieve elements than surrounding mesophyll cells.
 5. Phloem Unloading: maintains low phloem turgor pressures at the sink. Solute unloaded at sink can then be absorbed into developing fruit or other cells. Concentrations can reach values higher than in sieve tubes at source.
 6. Pressure in the Phloem: a pressure gradient occurs in phloem sufficient to account for flow from source to sink. Gradients in osmotic potential in sieve tubes from source to sink have often been measured, with most negative values at source.
 7. Two Problems with Pressure Flow: Substances should move in the phloem not only in the same direction but at the same velocity. Studies seem to contradict this showing that water moved slower than solutes. What accounts for this problem? (see the 2 explanations)
 8. Pressure Flow: Summary: Munch osmometer experiment reviewed. Osmotic system (symplast) with surrounding membranes exists in the plant, & pressures are observed in the transport system. The medium with high water potential around the source phloem tissues is the hydrated apoplast.

During the last two or three decades, incidence of failure of reinforced concrete structures has been seen widely for many reasons, such as increasing service loads and/or durability problems and the economic losses due to such failures are costly. Nowadays, the size and the form of repair and rehabilitation market are too large since there has been an increased emphasis on repair and retrofitting of defected structures over demolition and new construction. For safety in concrete tunnel, periodic inspection has been conducted using many testing technologies and techniques. However, these technologies cannot replace visual inspection because of their slow and complicated procedures. For this reason, the Knowledge-Based Systems (KBS) are used with lab tests results to diagnose R.C tunnel lining corrosion crack damage (DICRCTL). In this study, we attempt to propose an alternative to the human expert, to give technical decisions in diagnosing corrosion crack damages in second segment of R.C. tunnel lining. To overcome this requirement, an expert system is developed to achieve the research aim. This proposed system was constructed on a knowledge base that incorporates with the gathered information, tests in the form of rules which is suitable to implement in an expert system environment to diagnostic advisory nature. The proposed application results show an easy, fast and satisfactory answer to engineering needs.

Chatoyance – Eye of the Cat:
The name "Chatoyance" originates from the French word "chatoyer," which means "to shine like a "cats eye gemstone."
Chatoyance occurs in stones that contain a large number of very thin parallel inclusions within the stone, known as a "silk."
In a chatoyant gemstone, the band of light will move back and forth beneath the surface of the gem as it is turned into a beam of incident light.
The motion of the cat's eye across the top of the gem is one of the things that make these stones so interesting, beautiful, and desired by many people.
The chatoyancy in gemstone chrysoberyl is so prominent that the term cat's eye has come to be used exclusively for it. So it should be understood that a cat's eye is not a gemstone per se, but the name of a phenomenon.
How Chatoyant Works:
In Chatoyancy stone the light wave moves back and forth underneath the Chatoyant gem surface when it is kept or placed under the beam of light.
The beam of a light wave will shift or displace if the observer moves his/her head or stone position is altered to observe stone from different angles.
Chatoyancy is observed in varying forms. First is the regular band of light that distinctly stretches across the stone. Second is the 'opening and closing effect' where there are two bands visible across the stone.
How to cut a cat's eye stone:
The cat's eye gemstone can be produced with cabochon gemstones. Thus, those gem traders who have the intent of producing cat's eye stone must first choose that stone which has a large number of silk inclusions present in the stone.
And the gem cutter should carefully select a rough gemstone so that the parallel inclusions or silk inclusions remain beneath the stone and parallel inclusions remain parallel to the long axis of chatoyancy basically occurs in those stones that possess a large number of parallel thin inclusions inside the stone also termed as "Silk".
The wave of light, when struck this parallel inclusion, forms a band of light underneath the stone surface. The band of light will generally appear at right angles to the length of alongside inclusions.
These inclusions are aligned toward the crystal axis and these inclusions can be named as hollow tubes, crystal or other linear structure that are present in the stone.
Unfortunately, if a gem cutter fails to accomplish the above-mentioned goal, then a clear cat's eye stone will not be produced.
Assessing the Quality of a Cat's-Eye Gemstone:
The best cat's-eye gems have an eye that meets the following criteria:
- It is clearly visible
- It symmetrically bisects the cabochon
- It contrasts sharply with the stone's body color
- It moves smoothly as the stone is turned under the light
If a stone features all of the above criteria and has an exceptional body color, then you have a fantastic cat's eye stone.
Facts about Cat's eye Lehsunia
Some of the lesser known truths about the cat's eye are as follows:
- The chemical that causes this effect of the cat's eye is known as Chrysoberyl (BeO.Al2O3)
- The chemical bonding is Rhombic
- Cat's eye is greenish, brownish, yellowish and often found in colorless hues or shades.
- It has an explicit gravity of 3.71 and hardness of 8.5 on the Moh's scale
- It is brittle, but interestingly it is hard enough to be cast into a ring
- Translucent multi-shaded stones that resemble cat's eye are frequently mistaken for quartz tiger's eye
- They are frequently referred to as " oeil de visit"
Where does Cat's eye gemstone occur?
The Cat's eye is mostly found in Sri Lanka, Brazil and India. Some of the other countries where it is found is South Africa, Russia, Burma, and the U.S. In India, it is largely mined in Odisha, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Bihar.

Difference Between UHF Microphone and VHF Microphone
micro_phoneUHF vs VHF Microphones
Microphones are used to capture sound, whether its from the human voice, animals, or even from the environment, and either amplify it for rebroadcast or to record it for later use. Although VHF (Very High Frequency) and UHF (Ultra High Frequency) are both used to describe frequencies, these are not related to the frequency of the voice that is being recorded. Instead, it is related to the transmission of the voice signal from the microphone to its receiver on wireless microphones.
VHF microphones usually transmit at around 170Mhz to 216Mhz while UHF microphones transmit between 450Mhz and 952Mhz, which is over ten times the difference in the frequency range that devices can use. UHF microphones benefit from this very wide range of frequencies that can be used by manufacturers. This makes it less prone to interference as you are less likely to encounter another UHF device that transmits at the same frequency within range of each other. VHF microphones are a little bit more prone to this due to the number of VHF microphones in existence and the very narrow frequency spectrum.
But if there was no trade-off to the advantage of UHF microphones, VHF microphones would no longer exist in the market today. The disadvantage of UHF microphones is in the relatively high cost of these microphones. Because most people see no significant advantage to UHF microphones, only a price difference, VHF microphones are still widely used. And for most users of VHF microphones, it works flawlessly without any problems.
For most applications, VHF microphones would usually suffice as the probability of having a device that would interfere with it is still quite low. But for people who intend to work in areas where there are a lot of transmitters that work in the VHF range, having a UHF microphone is a must. UHF microphones are also advised to those who wants to ensure that their microphones work every time. In cases where microphones are absolutely essential, like in TV or radio broadcasting or concerts, having both types is the only way to go. So that you can switch to the other in case one is not working properly.
1.UHF and VHF are two divisions of the radio frequency spectrum
2.VHF microphones transmit between 170Mhz and 216Mhz while UHF microphones transmits at around 450Mhz to 952Mhz
3.UHF microphones tend to be less prone to interference compared to VHF microphones
4.UHF microphones cost more than VHF microphones

several elk seasons. They are easily replaced if you ever do damage them. Which is difficult given they are encased inside our calls, they seem to last and last.

Mouth calls for predator hunting
Mouth reeds are also used in predator hunting. They can be used to simulate a Coyote howl to lure in a territorial song dog. This takes some skill to do as the pressure needed is finite. They will also imitate dying prey animals such as rabbits and other small mammals.
As you can see the mouth reed call design is very versatile. It takes quite a bit of skill to operate and users practice for years to become experts. These type of predator hunting calls work in the hands of a master. It can be used in many applications but not quite so many as the next call design we will discuss.
Forward facing reed calls
The next few designs are based on one design in our opinion. A mechanism based on a reed facing into the airstream. The sound is created when it vibrates against a solid flat surface on one side. This is the basic idea behind open reed and closed reed calls. It has several advantages and disadvantages that we will also cover.
How do open reed hunting calls work?
An open reed call uses a piece of Mylar or similar plastic that is facing into the airstream. It sits on a ramp or sound board that resembles a popsicle stick that tapers into a cylinder. The top where the reed sits is flat. It has a hole bored into it that tapers as the ramp tapers.
The hole allows air to flow through the ramp and through the call itself. The reed is generally not as wide as the sound board. It however has the same oval popsicle stick shape at one end. It ends where the sound board ends into the barrel of the call.
The soundboard and reed can be exposed and may have a small rubber O-ring around it. The O-ring changes the effective length of the reed. Smaller reed gives a higher pitch etc. Some calls have o-rings that can be moved up and down, giving variable pitch. This can also be done by using your lips, teeth or fingers to hold the reed tight against the sound board.
The barrel amplifies the sound made, they are cylinders made of plastic or wood. They give an acoustic effect by providing a small chamber that the sound waves bounce around in.
How to use open reed calls
The user places the reed end of the call in his mouth and blows into the reed and effectively forces it to vibrate. Some air goes under it and through the call into the barrel. The faster and harder the pace of the blast of air the louder it gets. However there is a limitation to using these types of calls quietly.
The hard plastic reed has a very high start up velocity compared to reed in our Reel. It is hard to get accurate sounds and pitch changes due to the stiffness of the reed. Simple physics dictates the performance of these calls is better at a higher volume.
They stick and they are unpredictable because of that fact. The two pieces of plastic, the sound board and the reed will stick to each other. Moisture is the open reed calls enemy, the moisture causes a bond to form between the two surfaces. Add cold and the effect is increased rapidly when it freezes.
Our reel calls will work after dunking them in water. You will not have a problem with reeds sticking or an unpredictable nature. Your call will just work and that is one of the biggest problems we had when elk calling.
How much effort both time and money does it take to get a shot at a bull? We wanted to make something that wouldn't be a variable. The Reel just works 100 percent of the time and we are very proud of that.
Open Reed Versatility
Calls based on this Open Reed design are used to hunt Elk, Predator, Sika and Roe Deer to name a few. The forward facing plastic reed open reed calls allow a user to have a decent amount of pitch control. They can be used at quite a loud volume allowing one to call to distant critters.
The wide range of sounds mainly come from the ability to make these calls in different sizes.That could mean different ramp angles, bigger reeds or smaller, or just different shape reeds etc. All these things can vary to make these style of open reed hunting calls work for all kinds of hunting.
How do Closed reed hunting calls work?
A closed reed call uses a cylinder for the barrel and another around the sound board. This forces air blown into the reed end of the call to go thru the hole in the sound board. It goes under the reed and out the barrel. The reed vibrates against the soundboard without an O-ring or lips or teeth pinching it. This causes them to tend to make lower pitched noises than the open reed type call.
Duck and Goose calls use this design and the expired patent that covers these designs is almost 90 years old. The same shortcomings that plague open reed calls also affect closed reed calls. Moisture and high start up velocities are the same due to the same materials and reed configurations.
Deer calls for hunting also use this design to make both buck grunts and doe bleats. Sometimes the mechanism is reversed and a sucking motion is used to generate vibration in the reed. They suffer from unpredictability due to the stated issues with plastic reed type calls.
Even the can call can be considered a closed reed call. After all it is just a tiny little forward facing plastic reed and sound board inside it. The plunger falls and forces a certain amount of air through it at a controlled rate. Making it much more predictable than one you blow or suck through. This however means the call is monotone and can't just be stuck in a pocket. It will go off when you move unless a cap is applied to the vent side.
Best new Deer call on the market!
Our Buck Reel call solves so many issues of previous doe bleat designs. It is extremely easy to use. It allows one to vary the volume and pitch and accurately make many doe and fawn vocalizations. Using it opens up a whole new world to Whitetail deer hunters, think a cow call for hunting elk.
It is so effective that during prototyping we had to warn hunters not to use it till you were able to see enough to shoot. So make sure you're ready to kill a deer before you blow on one is our advice. Be in your chosen stand or blind or wherever and be setup. They will react to this call and be on top of you in an instant.
Closed Reed calls have been around a long time and they have even been adapted to use for many species. They have accounted for more waterfowl shot than anyone could imagine. Millions of hunters carry them to stands and blinds across the world.
How do Reel style hunting calls work?
Our design uses a reed that faces away from the airstream. It stretches a Nitrile Reed in a 3 dimensional shape that resembles a sail and bends over a lower structure to end in a flat reed. Underneath the reed is a complex geometrical design. Above the reed is a hinged foam lined lid that closes on a spring at the end away from your mouth.
When the two halves hinge together it effectively changes the size of the reed in smooth sliding manner. The sides pinch the reed as it closes then it pinches on the bridge underneath the exposed end of the reed.
What happens is rather complex but the mechanism is simple. It allows a high pitch when closed and a low pitch when open and every note in between.
Makes consistent sounds with low airflow
The reed catches air like a sail and allows the slightest amount of air to start it vibrating. It solves the high startup velocities of all other designs. The air is forced over the reed and vibrates it just like a mouth reed vibrates at its open end. However we don't need as much tension as a mouth reed on our reeds. Our hunting calls work with a low startup velocity.
The hinging action controls the pitch and not your tongue creating a more taught reed to control pitch. Making for a predictable call on a level never imagined with mouth reeds or open and closed reed calls. Our type of hunting calls work for you. Not the other way around.
The hinging action takes the skill level way down. If you can blow thru the call and open and close the lid with your fingers you can use it. Its that simple really, does not require years of practice. Just minutes for our elk and deer designs is a common time frame to learn how to use them. We think in the future anything written about how hunting calls work will need to discuss the Reel.
How do Tube style hunting calls work?
A tube call is simply that. Imagine a tube the size of an empty toilet paper roll for example. Stretch a piece of latex over the top and leave a gap on one edge so you can still blow into the tube. Attach a rubber band around the end of the tube over the latex. The call you created can make a number of different animal vocalizations.
The operator simply puts his lip on the opening in the latex and uses airflow and pressure to cause the free edge of the latex to vibrate. These take skill to use but are simple and cheap to make. Some elk call companies use injection molded mouth pieces that take custom silicone reeds but the principle is the same.
The reeds can be easily torn and a cap is often used to protect them. They are unpredictable and there are quite a few

Ammonia can be synthesized at low pressure by the use of an ammonia selective absorbent. The process can be driven with wind energy, available locally in areas requiring ammonia for synthetic fertilizer. Such wind energy is often called "stranded," because it is only available far from population centers where it can be directly used. In the proposed low pressure process, nitrogen is made from air using pressure swing absorption, and hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water. While these gases can react at approximately 400 °C in the presence of a promoted conventional catalyst, the conversion is often limited by the reverse reaction, which makes this reaction only feasible at high pressures. This limitation can be removed by absorption on an ammine-like calcium or magnesium chloride. Such alkaline metal halides can effectively remove ammonia, thus suppressing the equilibrium constraints of the reaction. In the proposed absorption-enhanced ammonia synthesis process, the rate of reaction may then be controlled not by the chemical kinetics nor the absorption rates, but by the rate of the recycle of unreacted gases. The results compare favorably with ammonia made from a conventional small scale Haber-Bosch process.

THE Rotary Club of Northern Guam and community members gathered at a Peace Memorial at Two Lovers Point yesterday to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.
During the ceremony, Rotarians shared a few words, followed by a moment of silence in honor of the lives lost during 9/11. The memorial serves as a tribute to those who lost their lives during the 9/11 attacks and those who fought to defend the nation. The Peace Memorial was unveiled by the Rotary Club in Oct. 11 of last year, a month after the 10-year anniversary of the tragic events.
At the site stands two pillars that depict the World Trade Center's Twin Towers, upheld by Guam's iconic latte stone to signify the strength of the island people in memorializing those who lost their lives in New York, the RCNG explains in a plaque.
Below the pillars is a large granite centerpiece in the shape of the Pentagon building and trees rendering the Eastern Hemlock, the state tree of Pennsylvania – to memorialize those who lost their lives in the crash.
Two doves of peace are etched on the granite, which symbolize the Rotary Club's continuous quest for peace on Guam and all over the world for humanity.

Any of numerous small, parasitic arachnids of the suborder Ixodida that feed on the blood of animals. Like their close relatives the mites and unlike spiders, ticks have no division between cephalothorax and abdomen. Ticks differ from mites by being generally larger and having a sensory pit at the end of their first pair of legs. Many ticks transmit febrile diseases, such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease.

When you can volunteer
There's no upper age limit on volunteering. However, some organisations' insurance policies do not cover you if you're under 16 or over a certain age (usually 80).
You cannot work for a profit-making organisation if you're under 14, even if you're not paid.
Your local councils might have extra rules about the work you can do as a young person. For example, you might not be able to volunteer at a charity shop if the council decides that it's a profit-making organisation.
People aged 50 or older can find volunteering opportunities with the Retired and Senior Volunteering Programme.
Volunteering and benefits
You can volunteer and claim benefits if:
- the only money you get from volunteering is to cover expenses, like travel costs
- you continue to meet the conditions of the benefit you get
If you have a criminal record you can still volunteer in most roles, depending on your offences. You might need a Disclosure and Barring Service check if you want to volunteer with children or vulnerable adults.

Duck TrueMotion 1
From MultimediaWiki
Revision as of 21:36, 29 January 2009 by Compn (talk | contribs)
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Duck TrueMotion 1 (TM1) is the first video codec developed by The Duck Corporation. It uses differential pulse code modulation and interframe differencing. The primary application for which Duck TrueMotion 1 was developed is gaming software, typically on PC or Sega Saturn titles.
Underlying Concepts
TM1 operates on bidirectional delta quantization. The mathematical premise of delta coding is simple addition. For example, take the following sequence of numbers:
 82 84 81 80 86 88 85
All of the numbers are reasonably large (on a scale of 0..255 in this example). However, they are quite similar to each other. Using delta coding, only the differences between successive numbers are stored:
 82 +2 -3 -1 +6 +2 -3
The first number is still large but since the remaining numbers are clustered close to each other, the deltas are relatively small. Thus, the deltas require less information to encode.
TM1 takes this concept and extends it to 2 dimensions. A particular pixel is assumed to have a pixel directly above it and a pixel directly to the left (if neither of these pixels exist in the frame, e.g., for the top-left corner pixel, 0 is used in place of the non-existant pixels). The current pixel is decoded as the sum of the up and left pixels, plus a delta from the encoded video bitstream.
 encoded video bitstream:...D5 D6 D7 D8...
 decoded video frame:
 A B C D
 E F G H
In this example, the encoded video bitstream is sitting at delta D5 when it is time to decode pixel E. A is the pixel above E. There is no pixel to the left of E, so 0 is used as the left value. Thus:
 E = A + 0 + D5
In the case of pixel F, both the up and left pixel values (called the vertical and horizontal predictors, respectively) are available:
 F = B + E + D6
That is the general idea behind decoding TM1 data. The actual decoding algorithm is more involved. The TM1 bytestream actually contains a series of indices that point into tables with the delta values to be applied to the vertical and horizontal predictor pixels. These tables only specify small deltas to be added to pixel predictors. When a larger delta is needed because the delta between 2 numbers is too large, then a special bytestream code indicates that the next delta is to be multiplied by 5 before it is applied.
TM1 operates on 4x4 macroblocks of pixels. Each block in a frame can be broken into 4 2x2 blocks, 2 halves (either 4x2 or 2x4), or encoded as a 4x4 block. The block type is encoded in the frame header.
While the TM1 algorithm operates on RGB colorspace data at the input and output level, it borrows some ideas from YUV colorspaces. For more information of RGB and YUV colorspaces, see the References section.
TM1 uses a modified colorspace that embodies luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) information encoded as RGB deltas. Since Y information is more important to the human eye than C information, the Y data must be updated more frequently than the C data (i.e., more Y predictors than C predictors are applied to the image). For a every pixel within a given block in a macroblock, a Y predictor must be applied. However, only one C predictor is applied for each block in the macroblock.
TrueMotion v1 Frame Format and Header
All multi-byte numbers are stored in little endian format.
An encoded intraframe (keyframe) of TM1 data is laid out as:
 header | predictor indices
An encoded interframe is laid out as:
 header | block change bits | predictor indices
The difference between the 2 types of frames is that an interframe has a section of bits that specify which blocks in the frame are unchanged from the previous frame.
A TM1 header is quasi-encrypted with a logical XOR operation. This is probably done to provide some obfuscation of the header and thwart casual inspection of the data format.
An encoded TM1 frame begins with the one byte that indicates the length of the decrypted header, only with a dummy high bit and rotated left by 5. To obtain the actual length from byte B:
 L = ((B >> 5) | (B << 3)) & 0x7F
Then, decrypt the header by starting with byte 1 in the encoded frame (indexing from 0) and XORing each byte with its successive byte. Assuming the header is of length L bytes as computed above, and that the encoded header starts at buffer[1] (buffer[0] had the rotated length), the decode process is:
 for (i = 1; i < L; i++)
 decoded_header[i - 1] = buffer[i] ^ buffer[i + 1];
The decoded header data structure is laid out as follows:
 byte 0 compression method
 byte 1 delta set
 byte 2 vector set
 bytes 3-4 frame height
 bytes 5-6 frame width
 bytes 7-8 checksum
 byte 9 version
 byte 10 header type
 byte 11 flags
 byte 12 control
 bytes 13-14 x offset
 bytes 15-16 y offset
 bytes 17-18 width
 bytes 19-20 height
The compression method field indicates the type of compression used to encode this frame. There are 2 general types: 16-bit and 24-bit. Further, each has 4 block sizes to select from. The valid compression types are
 0, 9, 11, 13, 15: NOP frames; frame is unchanged from previous frame
 1: 16-bit 4x4 (V)
 2: 16-bit 4x4 (H)
 3: 16-bit 4x2 (V)
 4: 16-bit 4x2 (H)
 5: 16-bit 2x4 (V)
 6: 16-bit 2x4 (H)
 7: 16-bit 2x2 (V)
 8: 16-bit 2x2 (H)
 10: 24-bit 4x4 (H)
 12: 24-bit 4x2 (H)
 14: 24-bit 2x4 (H)
 16: 24-bit 2x2 (H)
>16: invalid compression type
The (H) and (V) designations come from the original Duck source code. It is unclear what they mean, except for the common horizontal and vertical designations common in video terminology.
The delta set and vector set fields are used to generate the set of predictor tables that will be used to decode this frame.
The height and width fields should be the same as those specified in the AVI file that contains the data.
The checksum field appears to contain the frame's sequence number modulo 512. The first frame is 0x0000 and the next frame is 0x0001. Frame #511 has a checksum of 0x01FF while frame #512 wraps around to 0x0000.
If the version field is less than 2, then the frame is intracoded (this may indicate that early versions of the coding method was purely intracoded). If the version field is greater than or equal to 2, then if the header type field is 2 or 3, the flags field has bit 4 set (flags & 0x10) to indicate an intraframe; else if the header type field is greater than 3, then the header is invalid; else the frame is intracoded.
The purpose of the control field is unclear.
The x & y offset, width, and height fields apparently pertain to a sprite mode that is not covered in this document.
16-bit Data
Decoding a 16-bit frame requires 2 tables. The tables can change from one frame to the next and must be rebuilt if the header specified a new table. One table contains the C predictors while the other contains the Y predictors.
Each table consists of 1024 32-bit entries. Each group of 4 entries corresponds to a byte index from 0..255. Each entry contains a double pixel predictor shifted left by one. If the very last bit (bit 0) in the 32-bit entry is 0, then there is another predictor for that index. If the last bit is 1, then this predictor is the last one for this list.
For example...
 A B C D...
 E F G H...
 I J K L...
 M N O P...
24-bit Data
The process of decoding a 24-bit frame is similar to that of decoding a 16-bit frame. However, the frame is decoded into 2 separate planes, a Y plane and a C plane, and recombined into a final RGB map at render time.

Human Resource Management And The Search For The Happy Workplace
The analysis of the impact of human resource (HR) practices on employee well-being at work is an important yet relatively neglected area of inquiry within the field of human resource management (HRM). In this inaugural address, the main findings from ongoing research based on data from the 1998 British Workplace Employee Relations Survey (WERS98) are presented. These suggest that the HR practices that are adopted by organisations have a significant impact on the well-being of their workforces and that this impact tends, on the whole, to be more positive than negative. The effects, however, are more complex than is normally assumed in the literature. In particular, preliminary results indicate that the constellation of HR practices that help to maximise employee well-being (i.e. that make for happy workplaces), are not necessarily the same as those that make up the type of 'High Performance Work Systems' commonly identified in the literature. This has important theoretical, policy and ethical implications for the field of HRM. These are discussed along with important directions for future research.

When ever we have to restore existing database, we always get error "Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use" And what we do to kill all spids we either take database offline or in single_user_mode.
But is this the right solution?
1. Drawbacks for taking database in offline:
- Some times it takes very long time to take database offline / online depend on size of database.
- If data file \ log file have internal corruption then you will not able to take database online again.
2. Drawbacks for taking database in single_user_mode:
- If you are taking database in single user mode and you didn't have any sessions on database you might not able to get session on database again to make it multi user or to run restore.
- Many times you will struggle to make database in multi user and some time if you are unlucky you have to restart sql database
- Some times by the time you make database in single_user_mode, some of system spid will take session and you cant kill system spid the only way to recover is restart sql server.
- If database is having any negative spid on it then you cant kill negative spid if database is in single user mode.
So best option is to kill all spid

Lips are a very delicate and important part of the human face as a beautiful and healthy lip acts as an icing on the cake. But, it is also true because of its delicate nature, it requires a lot of care and maintenance.
The face is the apple of one's eye and one cannot tolerate if any damage occurs to it, in front of their eyes. There is a very common issue that arises with the lips is the bleeding, which can make you a standing joke among the crowd. Bleeding lips not only gives an ugly look, but it is also very painful and irritating.
What can be the causes behind a bleeding lip? It is a common question of many, the causes or the secret behind the lip bleeding are:
1. Skin infection:
If there is an infection in the skin of a person then there are possible chances that lips will be affected as it is a delicate part of the skin. It is generally caused due to inflammation in the skin, which can affect the entire skin of the body or any one part. If you have any symptoms of skin infection, then you must go for medical care.
2. Lip injury:
It is a very normal reason that bleeding may occur when the lips get injured. If the living body part of a person is injured then it is obvious that it causes bleeding. Lip injury is not to worry cause as it can be treated and cured with the application of antiseptics and ointments.
3. Oral cavity cancer:
Lip is a very important part of the oral cavity of a human, hence, if a person suffers from the cancer of the oral cavity, then the lips are also equally affected. Even, of the major symptoms of this cancer includes sore and bleeding lips.
When it comes to the problem of cancer, it is recommended to get medical treatment as soon as possible. The treatment is available for this issue, including radiation and many others.
4. Surgical wound:
If there is, any wound on the body of a person then it is obvious that bleeding will occur from that point. These wounds are often caused due yo surgery, which may be due to strong medicines which are induced because of the surgical process.
These wounds which are caused due to surgery are referred as surgical wounds. One of the causes of bleeding of the lip is this surgical wound and it should be treated with care so that it gets completely cured.
5. Allergic reaction:
As it is noted before that lips are very delicate part of humans, which makes it weak when it comes to allergic reaction. If your lips are suffering from the allergic reaction, then it will bleed. Actually, this reaction is a response or the immune system to a particular allergen, in simple words, the struggle of the immune system with harmful allergens causes allergic reactions.
It is a very common phenomenon and its severity can range from mild to life-threatening. It can be classified as skin allergy and food allergy, it is very important to get proper medical attention if bleeding is occurring due to this reason.
6. Lip cancer:
One of the major symptoms of lip cancer is the bleeding from the lips. This type of cancer is a very rare form of cancer and is treatable with ease if caught at a very stage. This cancer occurs due to an uncontrollable growth of cancer cells in the lips of a person. It is very important to go through medical soon because with time it penetrates deeper into the oral cavity.
7. Skin cancer:
During a skin cancer, any part of the skin is affected and many times, bleeding from the lip is a major symptom because it is attacked first by the cancer cells. Before this cancer captures the whole body, it is advised to go through the required medical care.
Can you imagine your face without lips? Of course not, as a maximum of your daily tasks is performed with the assistance of lips only including, eating, talking, drinking and many others. So, it is very important to provide proper care for them as to get a revived and healthy one.
