Ever made an edible Jello rainbow? Although rainbow Jello takes several hours to assemble, the process is simple and it's a great snack for the kids. Here are the steps to make your own rainbow Jello.
Makes approximately 10 servings; double if necessary.
- 1 cup whipped topping (optional)
- 1 small box of each Jello color: red, blue, yellow, green, orange, and purple
Make Rainbow Jello
1Prepare one batch of Jello according to the directions on the packet. For an authentic rainbow effect, start with red and work your way upwards through the color spectrum (or choose purple and work downwards).
- If there is a "quick chill" method involving ice cubes, use that method.
2Fill the bottom of each cup with the first batch of Jello. Make the levels even for the nicest effect, then set the leftover Jello aside.
3Place the pan in the refrigerator for approximately 15 minutes to set.
4Mix a few tablespoons of whipped topping into the leftover Jello mix if desired. If you don't want whipped layers in your rainbow, skip this step.
5Remove the cups from the refrigerator and place a thin layer of the opaque mixture onto the first color if desired. Again, skip this step if you'd prefer not to include whipped cream in the Jello.
6Repeat the steps above for each color, allowing for approximately 15 minutes of refrigerator time between every layer. Garnish with a dollop of whipped topping if desired.
Can I put it in the freezer?wikiHow ContributorYou can, but you may end up with a different texture, and the taste is not as good.
- Though this recipe recommend a 15-minute set time per layer, the actual time will vary based on the temperature of your refrigerator. Before applying additional layers, touch the topmost layer to see if it has set; if it's firm to the touch but still sticky, it's ready for the next layer.
- If the opaque layer starts to set up before you get to spoon it out, place in the microwave for a moment to reconstitute it to a slightly liquid state.
- You may substitute vegan gelatins such as agar or vegetable gums.
- Adding fruit to this recipe, while interesting, disrupts the "rainbow." If you want to make multi-colored Jello fruit salad, go for it! (But don't add pineapple, papaya or kiwi unless it is cooked, because fresh versions contain an enzyme which might prevent the Jello from setting). If you want to make edible rainbows, stick with the recipe.
- Water that is heated in the microwave can overheat and erupt when handled. Always wait for bubbles before you open the door. If you don't get bubbles after a reasonable period of time, do not open the door or reach in until the water has had ample time to cool. Alternatively, just heat it over the stove.
- Jello is not a vegetarian dessert. Gelatin is a protein produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the bones, connective tissues, organs, and some intestines of animals such as cattle and horses.
Things You'll Need
- Ten 10-ounce clear plastic cups
- A cake pan or tray large enough to hold the cups

To study the flow characteristics of gravity based separation between oil and water using CFD AWWA D100 tool. Also, suggest an optimum design for the fixed oil skimmer based on the study.
For multi-phase modeling, there are two approaches for the numerical calculation: the Euler-Lagrange approach and the Euler-Euler approach. In this study for design of internals in the Water balance tank, Euler-Lagrange approach is employed, since the dispersed secondary phase volume fraction is very low. The simulation uses Euler- Lagrange approach to model oil droplets. The oil droplet trajectories are computed individually at specified intervals during the water phase calculation.
It is observed, the flow inside the tank makes a circular pattern where the flow velocities are higher at the periphery of the Skim Tank and the velocities reduce as the flow moves radially towards the center of the tank. This kind of flow pattern increases the residence time of oil particles inside the tank, hence improving the flow separation efficiency of the ITS Tanks. The size of nozzles, orientation and other internals are sufficient to meet design guarantee for the Skim Tank.

Pine nut oil is a natural substance that is popular for its varied benefits for humans. Read and know more about this natural oil.
What is Pine Nut Oil?
It is a kind of pressed vegetable oil. It is extracted from the kernels or seeds (commonly known as pine nuts) of various species of pines. It is extracted only from the edible seeds of pine. It is also known as Pine Seed Oil or Cedar Nut Oil. This oil is distinguished from other curative oils because of the wide range of benefits it has to offer.
There are various species of pine nuts like the European variety (also known as Pignoli) and the American variety (also known as pifiions). The quality of the oil extracted from pine seeds depend on the species of the pine nut it is made from. It is highly believed that the Siberian pine nut oil is superior in quality than other varieties of this oil.
Pine Nut Oil History
This oil has been used by people for many centuries to cure and heal illnesses and also to cook food.
During Great Lent, before the revolution of 1917, it was the main oil used for cooking in Russian homes. At that time, ten percent of the total hard currency of this country was based on the trade of this oil. The trade of this oil was mainly done with France. In France, this oil has been traditionally used for cooking.

Uses of Pine Nut Oil in Diet
Pine nut oil can help in fighting obesity. Scientists have proved that pine nuts can work as an appetite suppressant and curb the desire to eat. As a result it stops people from taking the extra food that causes obesity. Once it was proved, the scientists started to think of using pine nuts as dietary supplement. Pine nut oil was extracted so that it could be easily used for the purpose. Later, pine nut capsules were created so that using pine nut oil in a diet became easier. People can swallow the capsule without having to taste the material.
Pine Nut Oil in the Kitchen
The oil also has wide range of uses in the kitchen. It is a frequently used ingredient and there are various delicious recipes of pine nut oil. But it is not used in cooking like other nut oils. This is because it has a very low smoke point. In other words, it burns and starts to smoke at a very low temperature. This makes pine nut oil unfit to be used in cooking over a high temperature. So, pine nut oil is principally used as a "finishing" ingredient to add flavor to the food.
Pine nut oil can be a very effective preservative for bread. A small amount of the oil needs to be added to the dough.
Pine Nut Oil Side Effects
- The oil is very concentrated in nature. As a result it can cause skin irritation in case of sensitive skin. So, it is always advisable to dilute the substance before applying it to your skin.
- The pine nut oil may cause allergy in people who have allergies to other nuts (peanuts etc). The Department of Alergologia e Inmunologia Clinica at the Clinical University of Navarra, Spain has proved that people who are allergic to nuts have a tendency to have an allergy in pine nut oil.
- It smokes and burns at a very low temperature as it has a very low smoke point. Because of this property, it cannot be used in cooking at high temperatures.
- Pine nut oil causes a lack of appetite in people who ingest it. This may result in low amount of food intake and hence may cause health problems.
Buy Pine Nut Oil

The house was originally the half-timber barn of the former Dolffian property, a noble house situated in a central city park today known as Bergenthalpark. Even today, it is a part of a well-preserved estate, a complex consisting of a residence, barn, stables and a small teahouse in the park.
The former residence from 1670, renovated in 1985, today houses adult education programmes (Volkshochschule).
The stable, which was built in 1760 and directly attached to the barn, was altered into a day care centre for the elderly in 1962.
The small teahouse in the park is the only 18th-century teahouse still existing in Soest.
The whole estate was acquired by Constantin Wilhelm Bergenthal at the end of the 19th century. He was a merchant and his name was given to the surrounding urban park that is nowadays open to the public.
Meanwhile, some objects and gadgets from the Erfahrungsfeld have been installed here. This opens the possibility to connect the reflexion on Kükelhaus's thoughts with experiences perceptible to the senses in order to reach a holistic view of his entire work.

Nested loop (loop over loop)
In this algorithm, an outer loop is formed which consists of few entries and then for each entry, and inner loop is processed.
Select tab1.*, tab2.* from tabl, tab2 where tabl.col1=tab2.col2;
For i in (select * from tab1) loop
For j in (select * from tab2 where col2=i.col1) loop
The Steps involved in doing nested loop are:
a) Identify outer (driving) table
b) Assign inner (driven) table to outer table.
c) For every row of outer table, access the rows of inner table.
In execution plan it is seen like this:
When optimizer uses nested loops?
Optimizer uses nested loop when we are joining tables containing small number of rows with an efficient driving condition. It is important to have an index on column of inner join table as this table is probed every time for a new value from outer table.
- No of rows of both the table is quite high
- Inner query always results in same set of records
- The access path of inner table is independent of data coming from outer table.
Note: You will see more use of nested loop when using FIRST_ROWS optimizer mode as it works on model of showing instantaneous results to user as they are fetched. There is no need for selecting caching any data before it is returned to user. In case of hash join it is needed and is explained below.
Hash joins are used when the joining large tables. The optimizer uses smaller of the 2 tables to build a hash table in memory and the scans the large tables and compares the hash value (of rows from large table) with this hash table to find the joined rows.
The algorithm of hash join is divided in two parts
- Build a in-memory hash table on smaller of the two tables.
- Probe this hash table with hash value for each row second table
In simpler terms it works like
For each row RW1 in small (left/build) table loop
Calculate hash value on RW1 join key
Insert RW1 in appropriate hash bucket.
For each row RW2 in big (right/probe) table loop
Calculate the hash value on RW2 join key
For each row RW1 in hash table loop
If RW1 joins with RW2
Return RW1, RW2
When optimizer uses hash join?
Optimizer uses has join while joining big tables or big fraction of small tables.
Unlike nested loop, the output of hash join result is not instantaneous as hash joining is blocked on building up hash table.
Note: You may see more hash joins used with ALL_ROWS optimizer mode, because it works on model of showing results after all the rows of at least one of the tables are hashed in hash table.
Sort merge join
Sort merge join is used to join two independent data sources. They perform better than nested loop when the volume of data is big in tables but not as good as hash joins in general.
They perform better than hash join when the join condition columns are already sorted or there is no sorting required.
The full operation is done in two parts:
- Sort join operation
get first row RW1 from input1
get first row RW2 from input2.
- Merge join operation
while not at the end of either input loop
if RW1 joins with RW2
get next row R2 from input 2
return (RW1, RW2)
else if RW1 < style=""> get next row RW1 from input 1
get next row RW2 from input 2
Note: If the data is already sorted, first step is avoided.
Important point to understand is, unlike nested loop where driven (inner) table is read as many number of times as the input from outer table, in sort merge join each of the tables involved are accessed at most once. So they prove to be better than nested loop when the data set is large.
When optimizer uses Sort merge join?
a) When the join condition is an inequality condition (like <, <=, >=). This is because hash join cannot be used for inequality conditions and if the data set is large, nested loop is definitely not an option.
b) If sorting is anyways required due to some other attribute (other than join) like "order by", optimizer prefers sort merge join over hash join as it is cheaper.
Note: Sort merge join can be seen with both ALL_ROWS and FIRST_ROWS optimizer hint because it works on a model of first sorting both the data sources and then start returning the results. So if the data set is large and you have FIRST_ROWS as optimizer goal, optimizer may prefer sort merge join over nested loop because of large data. And if you have ALL_ROWS as optimizer goal and if any inequality condition is used the SQL, optimizer may use sort-merge join over hash join

Interview Transcription: Ginger Skelton
I chose to interview Ginger Skelton for our TEL 410 project. Ms. Skelton is an English
as a Second Language teacher in the Fayette County Schools near where I live. I have known
her for several years, and have a lot of respect for how much she cares about her students. I had
the opportunity to observe Mrs. Skeltons classroom on November 13, 2017, and then to
interview her about her job. Here are the questions I asked, and her responses:
1. How long have you been an ESL teacher?
Mrs. Skelton: I got my Masters Degree in Bilingual and Bicultural Education 11 years ago, the
same year my oldest son was born. I worked as a Bilingual teacher for several years in
Colorado, and have also worked as a general classroom teacher in a couple different grades.
This is my first year as a pull-out ESL teacher.
2. What is the ESL curriculum in the Fayette County School District like?
Mrs. Skelton: There is no curriculum for ESL in our school district. This means that I have to
choose all of the resources for my students. They do get to spend some time working on an
online literacy program called Lexia Core 5, but there is no set, specific curriculum that I must
use. My students are at very different levels of learning how to read and write English and their
native language, so it would be hard to follow a set curriculum.
3. How many students do you work with every day?
Mrs. Skelton: I pull out students from almost every grade in the elementary school every day,
which is usually between five and ten students per grade. I also push in to a 4th-grade class every
day. I work with an average of 30 40 students every day.
4. What kinds of languages do the students you work with speak?
Mrs. Skelton: Most of the students speak Spanish as their native and home language. I also have
a student who speaks an Indian language, a student from Pakistan, and two Haitian-Creole
5. What kinds of activities do you use with your students?
Mrs. Skelton: With the kindergarteners, I do a lot of phonics and sound or letter recognition
activities. With the third graders, I try to incorporate reading as much as possible we go
through short chapter books together. My fifth graders are really struggling in social studies
right now, so I use short games that are related to their social studies material to help them in
their other classes.
6. How does your school measure your students progress in English?
Mrs. Skelton: My students participate in a test called the AXIS test for English Language
Learners once a year in January. They also take the other tests that students at their grade level
complete for the state and for national education standards. If they improve on their other tests,
that shows that they are improving their English skills. Students who do very well on the AXIS
test may actually test out of ESL services.
7. What is the hardest part about your job?
Mrs. Skelton: I wish I could spend more time with my students. Some of them need more help,
and I am not able to give them the support they need. I have ten kindergarteners at one time, and
they need a lot of help that I cant give to all of them at once. I see that my fifth-grade students
are struggling in their other subjects, but theres only so much I can do.
8. If you could change one thing about your job or about the ESL curriculum, what would
you change?
Mrs. Skelton: I would push in to a different class for 4th-grade. Right now I go to math, because
that was the only time it worked for me to help those students. But math is not a great time to
support them with literacy, and they need more instruction.
9. How much parent involvement is there with your students?
Mrs. Skelton: My students parents are not very involved, and this is one of my personal goals
right now. Im working on ways to involve the parents in their childrens education and to
support them in knowing how they can help their students. I had the chance to translate a parentteacher conference for some of my parents who speak Spanish, and this helped them connect
with their childs general classroom teacher. Those particular parents wanted to help their child,
but felt like they couldnt because they didnt speak English.
10. How do students become a part of ESL services?
Mrs. Skelton: All parents fill out a short language survey at the beginning of the school year. If
the parents indicate that any language other than English is spoken in their home, their children
are screened during the first two weeks of school. Kindergarteners are interviewed, and 1stthrough 5th-graders take a test. Depending on their school, they are identified for ESL services.
The screening process is not always accurate or useful in showing the level that the students are
at, and the way that the school assesses progress is not helpful. It does not use accurate or
effective testing to determine if students are improving at a good rate.
I learned a lot from my interview with Mrs. Skelton and was very impressed by how
much she cared about her students and by how hard she worked. Her entire day was filled with
activities and pull-out sessions with students who need help. Most days she even works through
her lunch hour, because there are students who need extra support. Her students know that she
cares about them, and work hard in her classroom. It definitely inspired me to work hard on my
advocacy project, and to look for ways to help ESL teachers find more effective methods for
assessing their ESL students.

Contingency of the Now
Contingency of the Now is a performance project curated by Rie Hovmann Rasmussen that explores the questions: what is presence, what is its role today and what potential does it have? Taking its point of reference from the discussion on presence within performance, the project investigates processes and structures of presence and how it might effect and transform relations between the performer, audience and space.
The performance project will be divided in two parts over 2014, where each will focus on different aspects of presence. The first performance series with the title Contingency of the Now #1 took place in June 2014 at NLHspace in Copenhagen with the artists Nanna Lysholt Hansen, Trine Mee Sook Gleerup and Maline Casta and explored processes of presence in relation to time and endurance. In October 2014 Contingency of the Now #2 presented two performances by the artist Melanie Jame Wolf, that investigated digital media and its effect and potential in developing intimate relations.
Debates on presence have a long history within theatre and performance and became pivotal around the late 1950s and onwards with the development of performance art. Key aspects of the discussions were the presence of the performer, especially within theatre, and how aura and authenticity of the performer might manifest the experience of presence. Also specific interests in the audience experience emerged, focusing on a more subjective experience, which often sought to reject the transcendental understanding of presence led by the former. In both cases presence was connected to the presence/absence of the artist body and the liveness of the performance.
With an increased interest in also mediated and simulated performances as well as its documentation, the connection between presence and the live event were revisited in order to open up for a more complex understanding of the relation between performance and presence. Instead of focusing on the occurrence within a specific environment, recent theories in presence suggest that presence is emergent in time and is constituted by developing a consciousness of the self in and before another object or subject. Presence is determined by an increased self-awareness and awareness of one's surroundings. This experience will vary in time and space as it is determined by the social and cultural. Presence can therefore never be resolved by a specific location or by simply one being there.
The title Contingency of the Now refers to the uncertainty of the experience of presence in performance, as it unfolds in the present. Aligned with the concept of presence as an increased awareness and self-awareness the project revisits the promise of presence in performance and explore how it might open up for discussions on identity, being, relations and cultural and political structures.
An important group of people have made this project possible with their support. Thanks to Renée Padt, Elin Lundgren, Zep Andersen, Nanna Lysholt Hansen, Trine Mee Sook Gleerup, Maline Casta, Melanie Jame Wolf and Suada Ada Demirovic.

Harney County, Oregon covers 10,180 square miles, but only about seven thousand people live within its boundaries. One can travel along a main highway for miles without seeing a house or fence, just an occasional road that leads seemingly nowhere. The discovery of gold in the early 1860s brought thousands of prospectors through the area. Cattle ranchers, attracted by the vast amount of bunchgrass soon began moving their herds into the region.

Sage: Ticket #18055: Improve lookahead in IntegerListsLex _URL_
 IntegerListsLex uses a depth first search in a prefix tree, with lookahead to prune branches. The purpose of this ticket is to improve the lookahead algorithm in two directions:

Detect more (all?) branches that can be cut.

Better time complexity; this probably will involve identifying important invariants and caching them.

 Example:: even just for n=1000 this is taking a long time:

 sage: n = 100 sage: IntegerListsLex(binomial(n,2)-1, length=n, min_slope=1).list()

 The following also take a long time, which should be optimized:

 sage: IntegerListsLex(10^100, max_length=1).list() sage: IntegerListsLex(499499, length=1000, min_slope=1).list()

 One could hope that one could reach an average complexity roughly linear in O(log(max_n), max_length) per list generated.

 Concrete steps:

If we want the floor function to satisfy the max_slope constraint, we need to do "reverse smoothing", and the floor function then depends on the interval [0,...,k) over which we want to consider it. The same holds for the ceiling function if we want it to satisfy the min_slope constraint. Let thus f_k and c_k be respectively the floor and ceiling functions for the interval [0,...k)

 Let's ignore the constraints on the length and on n for now. Then, f_k and c_k are valid lists. Prove the following remark:

 For any n between sum(f_k) and sum(c_k) there exists a valid list of length k and sum n.

 Putting back the length and sum constraints, there exists a valid list if and only if the interval I_k = [sum(f_k), sum(c_k)] intersects the interval [min_n, max_n] for some k between min_length and max_length.

Extend Envelope with a method .sum(k) which computes sum(f_k).

 It should have appropriate algorithmic and caching so that the overall time complexity of computing sum(f_k) for all k<=l is linear in l.

 Trick: store, for each j, the smallest i<=j such that between i and j the slope is exactly max_slope. The point is that computing the sum of the parts of f_k between i and j is constant time. Use that incrementally to derive quickly sum(f_k) from sum(f_j) for some j<=k.

 Suggestion for a faster development cycle: experiment with this by extracting the current code for Envelope in a separate file.

Use the above characterization and the .sum(k) methods to implement a method IntegerListsLex.is_empty which terminates with guaranteed result on non degenerate cases. This is essentially what the current lookahead method does, but starting from 0 and with guaranteed results thanks to the reverse smoothing.

 Determine precisely the degenerate cases where is_empty may take an arbitrarily long time (something like: the ceiling can be 0 for an arbitrary long time, without a known limit=0 and limit_start).

 Decide on appropriate metrics to bound tightly the complexity in the other cases (something around max_length, max_n, limit_start).

 As a side product, we probably want to store for later usage the information of which n admit a valid list, as a collection of non overlapping intervals. Then, deciding whether there exists a valid list of sum n for a given n can be achieved efficiently by dichotomy.

Assuming that l is a prefix of a valid list, find out how to determine for which i l+[i] is still a prefix of a valid list.

 Potential building block: the choice of a prefix imposes more constraints on the floor and ceiling later on (our former adapt method), and we want to keep track of that. Given a prefix l, write f_k(l) be the list obtained by extending l to a list of length k using the floor f_k, with appropriate forward smoothing. Same for c_k(l). Write 'I_k(l) = [sum(f_k(l)), sum(c_k(l))]'.

 Now, l is a prefix of a valid list if one of the I_k(l) intersect [min_sum, max_sum]. So, while increasing the length of l we want to do something like incrementally adapting the sequence of intervals I_k(l) to always make sure we stay within one of them.

Use this to reimplement lookahead(self) implementing the above, with a guaranteed result and good complexity. And if at all possible a constant time complexity when the constraints are simple (e.g. floor=0, ...).

 This method should support _current_list=[] as well.

Update next accordingly (the logic should be slightly simpler thanks to the handling of the empty prefix).

Denmark Supports Renewable Energy and District Heating in Russia
The Danish Energy Agency has signed an agreement to support a renewable energy project in Russia. As part of the agreement, Denmark will purchase CO2 credits from the project under the joint implementation mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol.
The project reduces CO2 emissions by 446,000 tons until 2017 which is approximately equivalent to the annual emissions of 11,000 Danish households.
During the winter, temperatures in Priozersk can fall below minus 20 degrees Celsius and the citizens are therefore dependent on a reliable supply of heat. The new, modern boiler houses provide a much more stable, efficient and environmental friendly heat-supply that also reduces CO2 emissions, according to The Danish Energy Agency.
A small part of the CO2 reductions will come from retrofitting the heating network. Furthermore, the project entails the replacement and installation of heating sub-stations as well as the installation of new thermal windows in the buildings which receive heating from the boiler houses.

I am reading the paper, Classification in Networked Data: A Toolkit and a Univariate Case Study. And I have a question about the terminology of this paper, on page 938:
enter image description here
Also, see the following equation, on page 947:
enter image description here
Here we have,
 1. $\mathbf{X}$
 2. $X_i$
 3. $x_i$
 4. $\chi$ (not quite the same font with the paper)
I can understand that 1 is the vector of all class labels since it is big and bold. That makes totally sense.
And 2 is an item of (1) on the index $i$, if I understand correctly. However what is the difference between 2 and 3?
4 also makes sense. However, why do we have $c_1, c_2, ...$ etc. instead of basically having $\chi_1$, $\chi_2$, etc.
Is the second equation even correct? Instead of $P(x_i = c~|~N_i)$ don't we need big $X$ like $P(X_i = c~|~N_i)$?
Summary: Can you explain the difference between these 4 X's like explaining to a 10-year-old? (examples are strongly encouraged)
$\endgroup$
 - 1
 $\begingroup$ I think they wanted to represent $X_i$ like a random variable, whose possible values are denoted as $\mathbf{x}_i$. Does anyone agree with this? $\endgroup$ – user13791 Jun 19 '15 at 7:02
 - $\begingroup$ Item 4 should be $\mathcal{X}$, calligraphic X, rather than the Greek letter chi. $\endgroup$ – Yuval Filmus Jun 19 '15 at 20:13
 - $\begingroup$ @YuvalFilmus It is actually not calligraphic X, it is \mathpzc{X} indeed. However, I couldn't use that library on here. Please see: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/250893/… $\endgroup$ – Sait Jun 19 '15 at 20:25

Typically in probability and statistics, capital letters such as $X_i$ are used to denote a random variable, while lower-case letters such as $x_i$ denote realizations of the random variable. Rigorously speaking, you are correct in pointing out that $P(x_i = c|\mathcal{N}_i)$ should have been written as $P(X_i = c|\mathcal{N}_i)$, although this distinction is often overlooked when the underlying random variable is clear from context. For example, the technically correct way of writing $P(x_i|\mathcal{N}_i)$ should be $P(X_i = x_i|\mathcal{N}_i)$, but this slight abuse of notation is often employed and perhaps even preferred for its simplicity.
As for $\mathcal{X}$, careful authors tend to prefer script-letters, such as $X\in\mathcal{X}, Y\in\mathcal{Y}, x\in\mathbb{R}$ for denoting domains/ranges of numbers, random variables, and functions. However, when referring to particular elements of the domain/range, one would still abide by regular typography (lower-case for real numbers and upper-case for random variables) since it would be too much hustle and slightly abusing to use a calligraphic character for a real number.
Keep in mind, however, that these are all typographical conventions used by the community, and different authors may have different preferences depending on the level of exposition and their personal style. For instance, introductory linear algebra textbooks often denote matrices and vectors in bold letters such as $\boldsymbol{A}$ and $\boldsymbol{\beta}$, but this convention is often neglected in higher-level texts and papers$-$it may be unnecessary, not to mention troublesome, to embolden every letter in a book on multivariate analysis or matrix analysis.

The paper is concerned with a graph with attributes. The attributes are $X_1,\ldots,X_n$, and are collectively known as $\mathbf{X}$, which is either the vector $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ or the set $\{X_1,\ldots,X_n\}$.
Each attribute $X_i$ can take a value in the set $\mathcal{X} = \{c_1,\ldots,c_m\}$.
The value of the attribute $X_i$ is denoted $x_i$. There are two possibilities to interpret this distinction:
 1. $X_i$ is the name of the property, and $x_i$ is its value. This seems like a superfluous distinction, since usually we identify the name of a variable with its value.
 2. $X_i$ is a random variable, and $x_i$ is its value in a specific instantiation. This distinction is useful so that we can write expressions of the form $\Pr[X_1 = x_1 | X_2 = x_2]$. There is a difference, however, between $X_i$ and $x_i$: while $X_i$ is the "official" name of the attribute, $x_i$ is just an arbitrary choice for the specific value of $X_i$ in some context.
The equation on page 947 suggests the first interpretation, and that the authors have background in some very formal disciple such as program verification, programming languages or philosophical logic, in which such distinctions are given importance.
$\endgroup$
 - $\begingroup$ What is the difference between $P(X_i=c~|~N_i)$ and $P(x_i=c~|~N_i)$? $\endgroup$ – Sait Jun 19 '15 at 20:41
 - $\begingroup$ The second is either $0$ or $1$, since $x_i$ is a value rather than a random variable, or so one would hope. On the other hand, your example from page 947 suggests that $X_i$ is the name of a property, and $x_i$ is its value, which seems like a superfluous distinction to me. Perhaps this is a programming language paper? $\endgroup$ – Yuval Filmus Jun 19 '15 at 20:42
 - $\begingroup$ If $P(x_i=c~|~N_i)$ either 0 or 1, equation on page 947 do not makes sense. I think the way you interpret the distinction between x's, is not the same with the authors of the paper. $\endgroup$ – Sait Jun 19 '15 at 20:46
 - $\begingroup$ Yes, I agree. I think that the authors make a useless distinction between $X_i$ and $x_i$, which refer to the same quantity. I don't think that "$X_i = c$" is syntactically valid as far as the authors are concerned. But I could be wrong. $\endgroup$ – Yuval Filmus Jun 19 '15 at 20:47

Formidable in your Dashboard
Go to Concrete 5 Full Dashboard. Check the Formidable section in the Dashboard. Click on "Forms" within the Formidable section of the Dashboard to see the created forms. Click on "Results" to show the results from any of the forms created with Formidable. Note that we also created a page in the "Reports" section of the Dashboard. This also will lead to the "Results"-page of Formidable.
Create a form
Click on the green "Create a new FormidableForm"-button.
The new FormidableForm shows you the properties of this form. When adding a new FormidableForm, some fields are filled by default. Just walk through the form and select or fill where needed.
If you'r done, check your input and click on "Save" on the bottom of the page. Your form is created! If all values are correct you are redirected to the "Elements" of your new FormidableForm. Note that the gray buttons on the top left of the page are now enabled. You can easily jump from form properties to the form elements.
Duplicating forms
Duplicates forms with all the elements and mailings.
Add layout and elements
In the "Layout and elements"-tab of your form you can create the from itself. Within rows you can add columns and elements. This way you can easily create any form with any layout you like. Click on a column allows you to add elements in the column. In the popup you can select the element you would like to add to your form. You can also quicksearch your element if you like. When you found your element just click on it and fillout the element details in the new popup. When you are done, just click save. The new element is added to your form.
Editing layout and elements
You can easily drag elements to sort them out. But you can also move columns and rows if you like. Any changes will be saved automatically. If you need to change an element just click on the name and choose "edit".
Element options
For each element you have a list of options or properties available. Not every element is the same, so they can vary for each element. Label/Name: is the elements label, this label is shown in the forntend of your form.
Hide label / name: If you want to hide the label in the form.
Required: required for the submitter or not.
Confirmation: allows the submitter to enter the value twice. Both values need to match.
Placeholder: nice placeholder for the element.
Element Options: adding values to selector elements (checkbox, radio, select, etc)
Default value: when viewed for the first time the element can have a value already inserted.
Minimum / Maximum: limit the amount of chars, words, values or selections
Masking: mask the input of the element so you always get formatted data.
Tooltip / Description: help the submitted with a tooltip
Appearance: change the appearence of an element or layout.
CSS class: add a custom class to the element. Usefull for theming.
Deleting elements
If you have no need for a certain element you can delete the element. Note that all corresponding submitted data will also be deleted.
Duplicating elements
Just do it! See what happens...
Mail after submission
With Formidable you can create different mailings for each Formidable Form. On every submission all the mailings that are created for this form will be submitted. It's not required to have a mailing.
Add or edit mailings
Go to the mailing page of the form you wish to edit. Click on the green "Create a new mail"-button.
The new FormidableForm shows you the properties of the mail you are about to create. First we need to provide a sender. The sender of the mail can be a custom sender (use the selectbox and select "Send from custom sender"). Insert "Name" and "Email Address" in the inputfields. If you have an "Email Address"- or a "Recipient Selector"-field in your form you are able to select it here. So the sender of the mail could easily be a form submitter. Note that in case of multiple submitters (only with multiple Recipient Selector) the sender of the form is always the first selected. Now we need to set the recipients. There are multiple options here. If you have an "Email Address"- or a "Recipient Selector"-field in your form you are able to select them here (use CTRL-key to select multiple). In case you don't want to select any you can also send to a custom email address. After that the hard part is over. Add a "Subject" to your mailing and add a "Message". Formidable is able to send HTML-mailings, so use the WYSIWYG-block to add HTML. You can also use images from the Filemanager or add links to pages within you Concrete5 website. Also available in the WYSIWYG-block is the use of form-elements in you mailing. In the Editbar above the WYSIWYG-block you see four links ("Add Image", "Add File", "Insert Link to Page" and "Insert Formidable Element"). Click on "Insert Formidable Element" and a popup appears with the the form elements from you form. There are serveral options here. When adding the "All form elements" tag in the message, Formidable will generate a list of labels and values in the mail. You also can add individually labels and values of form elements. The button "Both" will insert a string with label and value split by a colon (:). After setting up your message you can add multiple attachments to the mail. There will be send to the recipients along with the mail. Note that the attachments are loaded from the filemanager.
Deleting mailings
Just click on the "Delete"-button to delete the mail. You'll be asked to confirm.
Duplicating mailings
Just do it! See what happens...
Results
Formidable adds a page in the "Reports"-section of the Concrete5 Dashboard. It also has it's own result page in the "Formidable"-section. Both pages are the same. You can customize the results and offcourse export the results to an Excel-file (xls)
Adding a form to a page
When you are done building your form, you can add this to a page or stack. Just go to the page you want to have your form in. Click on "Add to YourAreaName" in the page and select "Formidable Form" in the blocks list. Select the form you want to show on the page.
Translations
In some cases you want to translate the values for the elements. For example the address-field. In USA it's called Province/State, but in the UK it's called Counties. The best solution for this is to use the default language handler of Concrete5. To do this you have to create a languagefile for the specific language you are using. If the languagefile is created you can upload this in the folder /languages/. Then go to the System and Settings page in the Dashboard and change the default language of your C5 website to the language you just added. This way the form field will be translated. To help you on your way we created a number of different versions for Formidable. You can download it at: _URL_
For the date element you could use a language-file but you don't need to. When you are using the datepicker you can check the "advanced"-checkbox. This way you can easily add your own values to the datepicker.
For example:
[code] dayNamesMin:[ "Su", "Mo", "Tu", "We", "Th", "Fr", "Sa" ], dayNamesShort:[ "Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat" ], dayNames:[ "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday" ], monthNames:[ "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" ] monthNamesShort: [ "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec" ] [/code]

Myth or reality: Exploring teachers' understanding of teacher leadership roles in a Pakistani school
Date of Award
Master of Education (M. Ed.)
Institute for Educational Development, Karachi
This qualitative case study was designed to explore the teachers' understanding of teacher leadership roles in a Pakistani school. Their understanding of teacher leadership roles were explored in relation to their views, practices and professional roles within the school context. The study was conducted in a school and two female teachers participated in it. The data collection processes involved semi-structured interviews, document analysis and observations inside and outside of the classroom. Their interactions with pedagogy and students inside the classroom and their interactions with parents and colleagues outside the classroom was the focus of observation. The findings indicate the teachers' understanding of teacher leadership roles within the school context, as leading school activities and colleagues was their ultimate goal. The study found that both the teachers continuously improved their personal, interpersonal and professional capacities while interacting with the context. Teachers were found autonomous in their instructional strategies in their respective classrooms. Teachers' instructional leadership roles and their relationship with students were found to be rooted into their personal beliefs of knowledge, learning and experiences. The study also found that teachers' own outlook of students' behaviour and their beliefs about learning determined their own relationship with students. The two teachers defined teacher leadership in a hierarchical fashion. In this vertical order of leadership, the headteacher and teachers with formal roles such as deputy headteacher, coordinators, alternate coordinators and teachers formed the chain of leaders. In this top-down chain of leadership, classroom teachers were placed at the bottom. The study reveals that the teachers viewed parents' involvement crucial for their children education, but their emphasis on parental involvement was limited only to academic affairs. The study also suggests that the scope of leadership of teachers with formal positions (coordinator) is broader and wider than those who possess less formal positions such as alternate coordinator. In short, the teachers' understanding of teacher leadership is different in terms of its scope, but both the teachers understand teachers as leaders. The school context and teachers' early experiences provided them with motivation and opportunities to develop their capacities as teachers and teacher leaders.

text: Increases in wind damage are expected if the intensity and/or frequency of tropical cyclones increase due to enhanced greenhouse conditions (climate change). The paper estimates cyclone damage risks due to enhanced greenhouse conditions for residential construction in North Queensland, and then assesses the economic viability of several climate adaptation (hazard mitigation) strategies. The analysis includes probabilistic modelling of cyclone intensity and frequency, time-dependent increase in wind speed from enhanced greenhouse conditions (global warming), and vulnerability functions of building damage. Increases in mean annual maximum wind speed from 0% to 25% over 50 years are considered to represent the uncertainty in changing wind hazard patterns as a result of climate change. The effect of regional changes to building inventory over time and space, rate of retrofitting, cost of retrofit, reduction in vulnerability and discount rate will be considered. The risk-cost-benefit analysis considering temporal changes in wind hazard and building vulnerability can be used to help optimize the timing and extent of climate adaptation strategies.

International artist Kutluğ Ataman's video work, "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare," is on exhibit at the Royal Atheneum of Antwerp in Belgium. Displaying manuscripts of Shakespeare's works in a 35-millimeter film, Ataman's work was selected to represent Turkey in the Belgian exhibition, "I Traveled the World and the Seven Seas," which runs until Nov. 19.
The video created by Ataman and his team features the hand-written manuscripts of 14 comedies, 11 tragedies and 10 other of Shakespeare's plays.
The 35-millimeter film piece was completed in two years. In the silent film, the manuscripts of various plays and poems are streamed in such a way that makes them unreadable and reduces them to images. In this way, the works of Shakespeare are presented as words and letters, rather than works for the stage. The film points to the use of writing as a decorative form of expression in Islamic culture and highlights the ways in which the meaning of words is lost during the passage from a sign and reference system to another. It is a conceptual animation that includes both Shakespeare's dramas and 16th century English ideals.
Wilfried Huet, Dirk Engelen, Stella Lohaus and Isabel Devriendt are the four independent curators for the "I Traveled the World and the Seven Seas" exhibition, a co-production of LLS387 art gallery and HELD. The exhibition is also supported by the Flemish Ministry of Culture and the Antwerp Municipality. On display at the Royal Atheneum of Antwerp High School, the exhibition presents pieces by artists from 50 countries alongside those of Ataman in a display designed for students of the high school who also represent 50 countries.
"The Complete Works of William Shakespeare" has already been exhibited at Gallery Mana in 2012, Arter in 2011 in Turkey, the Francesca Minini Art Gallery in Italy and the Lentos Art Museum in Austria.

Walking through campus down Pittsburgh's Forbes Avenue, visitors are stopping in front of an odd sight — strawberries growing in empty plastic bottles on a fence in front of vacant properties.
Carnegie Mellon's Jessica Jackson (A' 10) is showing the Pittsburgh community how easy and inexpensive it is to grow food in a small space with little resources.
Jackson was inspired by contemporary artist Fritz Haeg, who lectured at the Carnegie Mellon Museum of Art during her first year at the university. She designed the project to encourage people to consider using areas to grow food that they normally wouldn't consider — such as the front lawn, an empty lot or a fence.
"The United States remains mired in a recession and most Americans don't have the cash for solar panels or electric cars," Jackson explained. "This is an example of what normal American families can do to support more sustainable, environmentally friendly modes of transportation and agriculture."
She noted, "Not even a backyard is necessary to grow surprising amounts of food."
Jackson created the garden out of empty plastic bottles, wire, soil, fertilizer and strawberry seedlings. She filled the plastic bottles with soil and seedlings and tied them to the fence with wire. Since that time, she has also added zinnias, radishes, sugar snap peas, green beans and alyssum. She will water and prune the garden as necessary throughout the summer.
"I envision the final garden to be so full of flowering and fruit-bearing plants that people walking by will have to look twice to see that the garden was put together with recycled materials," she said. "I want pedestrians to be able to stick their fingers through the chain-link fence and pick the strawberries."
Any extra fruit will be gathered up and given away, possibly to a food pantry. As soon as the plants start flowering, signage containing information about urban gardening will be available to people walking by, says Jackson.
Jackson studied ecological art with Professor Bob Bingham, collaborating with students from different departments university-wide to create a rain garden on campus.
"I have helped my family maintain a garden since early childhood," she said. "In my senior year in high school, I took a course called 'Food for Thought' that dealt with issues related to global hunger and food distribution. It was in this course that I was first introduced to the concept of urban farming, and I have been thinking about how to promote this concept ever since."
"I hope this strawberry garden project will inspire people to start small, inexpensive container gardens of their own, particularly in places that have been blighted by foreclosure or abandonment and remain cut off from practical use by chain-link fences," she said. "This project will be the beginning of what I hope will be many more community-oriented projects to come."

How to encrypt Bash shell variables with Ansible Vault
Use Ansible Vault to share encrypted Bash environment variables across projects.
Image
Linux terminal
Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash
Ansible is a great tool to automate mundane or complex tasks. It also allows code reuse by passing variables to roles or collections. This is important when sharing code across a large base of users.
However, sometimes those variables are credentials that are specific to a user's access or password rather than a service account credential like you might use in Ansible Automation Platform. You wouldn't want to share sensitive credentials with your team, let alone place them into a Git repo for the world to see. Sometimes these variables are derived from an environment file, such as your .bashrc. And they could be things you need to access from the shell, not only in an Ansible playbook.
This is where Ansible Vault comes into play. Ansible Vault is a command-line tool that allows you to encrypt and decrypt any structured data file. In this article, I'll show you how to protect your shell environment variables while making them available for your typical Bash commands and your Ansible playbooks, roles, and collections.
[ Download now: A sysadmin's guide to Bash scripting. ]
Use encrypted environment variables with Ansible
First, create a .bash_vault file in your home directory:
$ touch ~/.bash_vault
Next, append the following code to your .bashrc file:
export EDITOR=vi
BASH_VAULT=${HOME}/.bash_vault
function bash_vault.load(){
 echo "Loading bash vault..."
 source <(ansible-vault view ${BASH_VAULT})
}
function bash_vault.edit(){
 ansible-vault edit ${BASH_VAULT}
}
function bash_vault.reload(){
 echo "Reloading bash vault..."
 source <(ansible-vault view ${BASH_VAULT})
}
After updating your .bashrc, create your secrets in the .bash_vault file. In this example, you want to keep your usernames, passwords, and destinations secret from prying eyes:
APP1_API_USERNAME='mike.wazowski'
APP1_API_PASSWORD='Ey3b4LL!'
APP1_API_URL='_URL_'
APP2_API_USERNAME='james.sullivan'
APP2_API_PASSWORD='H41rB4ll!'
APP2_API_URL='_URL_'
APP3_API_USERNAME='randall.boggs'
APP3_API_PASSWORD='Ch4m3l0N!'
APP3_API_URL='_URL_'
export APP1_API_USERNAME APP1_API_PASSWORD APP1_API_URL APP2_API_USERNAME APP2_API_PASSWORD APP2_API_URL APP3_API_USERNAME APP3_API_PASSWORD APP3_API_URL
After updating your .bash_vault file, you must encrypt it using ansible-vault:
$ ansible-vault encrypt .bash_vault
New Vault password: ****
Confirm New Vault password: ****
Encryption successful
Now, validate you've encrypted the environment variables:
$ cat .bash_vault
$ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.1;AES256
66623436333962663336333666306230366230336465333865326363666232383365326233333836
6630393461333137633865303134616262353230636163330a386338366663633230343537303335
3635...shortened for brevity....
Reload your .bashrc file and reload the encrypted shell variables stored in .bash_vault using the functions available in your .bashrc file. You will be prompted for your Ansible Vault password:
$ source .bashrc
$ bash_vault.load
Loading bash vault...

Use variables on the command line
But wait, these are shell environment variables, so you can also access them using the command line outside of Ansible.
Typically when users run commands, Bash stores them in command history. You can override this using set +o history or clear it using history -c, but sometimes you need the history to recall previously executed long commands more easily.
By using Ansible Vault-created environment variables, the history shows the variable name but not the variable value. To test this, first execute a command that uses one of the variables:
# Run a curl command with our encrypted shell variables
$ curl -o /dev/null -s -w "%{http_code}\n" ${APP1_API_URL}
# CURL RESULTS
200
Then review the history to check that it shows the variable name and not the variable value:
# Run the history command to check our shell variables
$ history|tail -2|grep -v history
# HISTORY RESULTS
1034 curl -o /dev/null -s -w "%{http_code}\n" ${APP1_API_URL}
Change the vaulted variables
If you need to add, delete, modify, or review your Ansible Vault-created

The False River Watershed Study was prepared for the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources. False River is a 3,000-acre oxbow lake formed from the Mississippi River in Pointe Coupee Parish with a watershed of approximately 37,000 acres. Fisheries, vegetative habitat, and overall water quality have been in decline since the 1980s. The Louisiana Department of Natural Resources, the False River Watershed Council, Chustz Surveying, and local residents teamed with the Water Resources group at Fenstermaker to collect hydrologic data, analyze the existing drainage system of the island, and recommend channel hydromodifications to reduce sediment transport into False River.
Fenstermaker collected data over a six-month period beginning October 2012, developed an existing conditions model, and evaluated several alternatives.

Baby's breath, scientifically known as Gypsophila paniculata, is a familiar plant with small white flowers commonly seen in floral arrangements. It was introduced to gardening in the 1800s and has since become a favorite addition to many gardens.
Characteristics of Baby's Breath:
- Baby's breath is a perennial herb that grows up to 3 feet tall.
- It has thin branches with small, white, or pink, clustered flowers.
It is a hardy plant and can propagate successfully in a variety of soils, making it a popular choice for gardeners.
The Problematic Nature of Baby's Breath:
- Baby's breath, despite its beauty, is an invasive plant that can quickly multiply and spread, outcompeting native plants for resources.
- It can quickly invade nearby areas and disturb the natural ecosystem of an area.
Methods of Removal and Prevention:
- The best way to eradicate baby's breath is through physical removal or chemical methods.
- For physical removal, it's important to dig out the roots of the plant and dispose of any material away from other plant life.
- Chemical methods include using herbicides that are effective at killing the roots of the plant.
- It's also important to plant alternative plants to discourage the spread of baby's breath.
It's important to be aware of the invasive qualities of baby's breath and to take steps towards proper removal and prevention. By doing so, we can protect the natural ecosystem and promote a healthy and diverse landscape.

The History of Golf(1)
Golf as we all know it was invented in Scotland, but its roots stretches back to Flanders. The first record of "Chloe" is from 1353 and portrays something that could possibly be described as a mix between hockey and golf played in Flanders (Belgium) with ping g15 irons. The game was preferably played on ice and the players used sticks curved at the bottom to move balls from starting point to finish point. Since Scottish and Dutch merchants traveled a lot between the two regions and traded together with each other, the game played in Flanders with taylorMade r9 forged irons quickly spread to Scotland where it developed on the grassy Scottish fields and very soon ceased to be a winter game. It was the Scots that began to dig holes in the ground instead of simply selecting a finishing point with callaway diablo octane tour driver. Digging a hole in the Dutch ice had normally not seen a good idea. Although the game changed a great deal after being introduced in Scotland, the balls where still generally imported from Flanders. The more patriotic Scots claim that golf instead evolved from different stick-and-ball games that we understand were played all over the British Isles as early as the middle Ages. These games were inspired by a stick-and-ball game and introduced to the British Isles by the Romans. The first record of the term golf is from 1457 when King James II of Scotland outlawed golf and even soccer, given that the games were so popular with the clubs of taylormade r11 fairway wood that they made the king's archers skip their practice and play golf and soccer instead. James III re-issued this law in 1471 and James IV followed in his footsteps with all new bans in 1491. Golf did however keep on its development in Scotland in spite of the ban. Even during these early days, almost all the essential parts of golf such as Callaway RAZR Hawk Fairway Wood had already been invented. The players used a club to swing a ball into a hole in the ground. The player who managed to get the ball into the hole using the least amount of strokes won. The word gold is derived from the Old Scots words "Goff" or "glove", and these words in turn derive from "kolf" or "kolve", medieval Dutch words which simply meant club such as cheap golf clubs. When the words kolf and kolve were imported to Scotland, the old Scottish dialect transformed the letter K into G, and the game was named Goff, Glove, Glove and Growl.

Why Does Old Ice Cream Get Crunchy?
This was originally posted on Sustainable Nano, which is my new project. You should go check it out! Science Minus Details will live on though! Poop posts will come, have faith!!!!
As with all good meals of information, let's start this one off with ice cream!
In an effort to grow out of my "slim fit" clothes, I've begun an ice-cream-after-every-dinner diet.
Even the cat likes my diet!
An added bonus is that I go through jugs of ice cream so quickly that I NEVER have to deal with old, gross, crunchy ice cream! You know what I'm talking about. You reach into the back of your freezer, find that jug of 6-month-old ice cream, only to discover that it tastes like the perfect mixture of sugar, fat, and sand.
In order to understand this gritty phenomenon, let's talk first about what gives freshly purchased ice cream that wonderfully non-gritty texture. The ice cream manufacturing process is controlled very carefully, such that the ice in ice cream comes in the form of lots of super-tiny ice crystals. These ice crystals are usually around 10 to 100 micrometers in size, which is so small that our tongues can't even detect them as crystals, which is one reason ice cream is so smooth! However, if their size increases significantly, our tongue notices the crystals and the ice cream tastes gritty. But how do the crystals get bigger? Well, as we talked about in the previous post, small crystals have more surface area compared to an equal mass of large crystals. This means that lots of the atoms that make up small crystals are stuck out on the surface of those crystals, instead of being nestled on the inside. Those surface atoms would much rather be on the inside of the crystal, surrounded by other identical atoms. We scientists would say the surfaces of crystals have extra energy, relative to the insides of crystals.
Water molecules on the surface of ice crystals have extra "surface energy" because they aren't fully surrounded by other water molecules.
As a consequence of this, small crystals are always looking for a way to grow larger so that a smaller percentage of their atoms will have to live on the crystal surface. That is exactly what happens over time as ice cream sits in the freezer—the ice crystals find a way to grow larger—leading to that oh-so-disappointing gritty texture. One way this crystal size growth can happen is when small crystals clump together to make larger crystals. This turns some of the unhappy surface atoms into happy interior atoms.
An even cooler way crystals can grow larger is by stealing individual unhappy surface atoms from other crystals. Basically, the surface atoms are so unhappy, they simply "abandon ship" and wash up on the shores of another crystal, making that second crystal larger. This process results in larger crystals growing and smaller crystals shrinking. This can continue to happen until the small crystals disappear completely! Cool!
What in the world does this have to do with nanotechnology? Well, if we shrunk the smooth-tasting ice crystals to be around 1,000 to 100,000 times smaller, they would be nano-ice crystals. We scientists would then call them "nanoparticles," and we can make them from lots of different materials. Nanoparticles are so tiny that their surfaces have WAY MORE extra energy, and this energy can be harnessed to do some amazing things! To choose one example of many—big chunks of gold can't do much for a chemist except buy her lots of late-night meals and maybe a new car bike (we're sustainable here, remember!). However, nano-sized chunks of gold have such energetic surfaces that they can link two different chemicals together—where nothing at all happens without the nano-gold.
Gold nanoparticles can act as "catalysts" in chemical reactions.
The surfaces of nanoparticles can also be harnessed to degrade pollutants, turn fuels into electricity in fuel cells, and tons of other great stuff! Their surfaces are also largely responsible for how these materials behave in the environment and in organisms' bodies (more on that soon!). So, the more we understand about these special surfaces, the better we can predict where nano-pollutants might end up and how toxic or non-toxic they might be. We can then hopefully use this information to design nanoparticles that are "benign by design." So, to stretch the ice cream analogy to its limits, it's best to understand as much as we can about nanoparticle surfaces in order to avoid any gritty-tasting negatives, but there are still plenty of smooth-tasting positives!
 1. glad the cat enjoys the ice cream.
 1. haha, yeah. me too! She didn't like it as much as she likes leftover cereal milk tho.
 2. :-) NOt dead, just trying my best to get paid to talk about science, rather than do it for free, so focusing my efforts on helping scientists learn how to communicate with the public, at I swear I'll come back to science minus details. Have faith. I'm so sorry it's been so long since I've posted an update. Thanks for checking in!!!!!!!!!!!!
 2. Brazilian food tech student here. Just curious about re-crystallization.
 Thanks for the info ;)
 1. This isn't quite "recrystallization" as a chemist would use the term. Perhaps food scientists have another use for it. Recyrstallization usually purifies things by allowing you to rinse away impurities. The water isn't becoming any more or less pure here, just changing the size of its crystals. I'm glad you found it useful though!!!

Does How Fast You Eat Influence How Much You Weigh?
G. Douglas Andersen, DC, DACBSP, CCN
In a recent study, Japanese researchers were curious as to whether how fast a person eats has any effect on how much they weigh.1 Although Japan does not have the same level of obesity seen in the United States, its population has been gaining weight steadily over the past few decades.
Government employees in central Japan volunteered for the study. Each received a physical examination and was weighed, measured and surveyed with an extensive questionnaire regarding diet and lifestyle. Among the many questions study participants were asked included how much they weighed at age 20. Unknown to the subjects, a single multiple-choice question was the basis for the entire study: How fast is your rate of eating? Subjects selected from among the following responses: very slow, relatively slow, medium, relatively fast, or very fast.
Of the more than 5,000 employees surveyed, 3,737 men and 1,005 women met the inclusion criteria. Age ranged from 35 to 69. The mean age of males was 48; females 46. Results were as follows:
TABLE 1 Men – 3,337
TABLE 2 Women – 1,005
In this study, there was a clear relationship between speed of eating and body weight, as demonstrated by the results in tables 1 and 2 above. The questionnaire also revealed a correlation between speed of eating and quantity of food consumed. (Faster eaters consumed more calories.) There were some limitations in this study: Body weight at age 20 was estimated by the subjects, as was their speed of eating; and the people in this sample were all middle-aged Japanese citizens. Therefore, this does not necessarily mean these results would be duplicated in other groups. It does, however give us something to discuss at the dinner table.

Classi-Compare of Raster Satellite Images – Before and After
August 13, 2013
For my research on the effect of power outages on fertility , we study a period of extensive power rationing that lasted for almost a whole year and affected most of Latin America, but in particular, it affected Colombia. The key difficult was to determine which areas were exposed to the power-outage and the extent to which this was the case. This is not straightforward, since there does not exist householdor even municipality level consumption data.
But here is how R and Satellite Data can help. In particular, we study the night light series obtained from the Defense Meterological Sattelite Program, which has been discussed by Jeffrey before.
We simply look for abnormal variation in municipality level light-emitting intensity from 1992 to 1993.
Here is some code that generates some Raster-Maps using the package rasterVis, and uses jQuery to generate a fancy before and after comparison to highlight the year-on-year changes in light intensity of 1992 compared to 1993.
###load the raster images
f151 = raster(tif)
f152 = raster(tif)
##crop a smaller window to plot
e = extent(-78,-72,2,8)
_TAG_ = extent(-80,-78,-4.6,-2)
rn= crop(f151, e)
rn2= crop(f152, e)
### do a logarithmic transformation to highlight places that receive not much, but some light.
p <- levelplot(rn, layers=1, margin=FALSE,col.regions = gray(0:100/100))
p + layer(sp.polygons(COLPOB, lwd=.25, linetype=2, col='darkgray'))
p <- levelplot(rn2, layers=1, margin=FALSE,col.regions = gray(0:100/100))
Now with this together, you can create a fancy slider as I have seen on KFOR -- comparing satellite pictures of towns before and after a tornado went through them.
The code is essentially just borrowed from that TV station and it loads the javascript from their server; it is essentially just a clever use of jQuery and is maybe something that could or is already implemented in an R reporting package? Do you know of such a function?
Anyways, all you need is a slider.html page that contains the code referring to the two picture sources; the code is simple:

 .sample1 {width:725px; height:725px;}.sample2 {width:725px; height:725px;}.sample3 {width:725px; height:725px;}

This is how it looks -- I know the stuff is not perfectly aligned, partly because when cropping the picture I made a mistake and could not be bothered with fixing it.
Have fun!

IKEA Foundation - Portfolio Strategy Support
Climate Change is a pressing issue for all but especially for those with minimal resources and vulnerable to its effects. This is the group the IKEA Foundation focuses on through their projects and grants through their portfolio areas focusing on food/agri, energy, livelihoods and entrepreneurship. However, climate change, a confronting and fast approaching threat, was missing from these portfolios. This is why TheRockGroup supported IKEA Foundation in a review of their portfolios to incorporate Climate change into them. As a result Climate Action is now a 5th portfolio category under which the foundation is making a difference though their strategic projects and grants.
IKEA Foundation is has 4 different portfolios under which they fund projects and make grants to make a strategic difference in their impact areas. Recognizing climate change as an issue that needed addressing they asked TheRockGroup to help them review their current portfolio and strategy to find a way to integrate climate change into the portfolio and see how each portfolio can have an impact on climate change.

Our Work
TheRockGroup was asked to do a quick review of IKEA Foundations' current 4 portfolios with the aim of finding a way to incorporate climate change into their actions. Through a benchmark review of other foundations and granting agencies around the globe we made a recommendation to IKEA Foundation on how best to address climate change through their work. As a result a 5th portfolio was created focusing on Climate Action.

Sangha are best known for their internal diameter measuring instruments, with Sangha bore gauges being used across global aerospace.
As expert metrologists they are often asked to develop new and unusual bespoke precision measuring systems.
Whilst Sangha 3 point bore gauges remain the pre-eminent means by which to accurately and precisely measure internal diameters to within 4 microns, recently they were presented with a measurement problem that required a different application. In this instance the combination of a robotic bore gauge and a rapid laser system was developed to function simultaneously.

FORT CHAMBERS. Fort Chambers, built during the Civil War, was a small Confederate mud fortification located about halfway between the site of Fort Anahuac and the town of Anahuac in Chambers County. It was built in late 1862 under the direction of Heinrich Mueller of Galveston, who was in the Confederate military service. Its construction came after an inspection of coastal defenses by Commander William W. Hunter of the Confederate Navy in January 1862. The small fort, which was named for Thomas Jefferson Chambers, included two cannons, a twenty-four pounder and a thirty-two pounder. They were later mounted outside the doors of Galveston's Artillery Hall.

Thermal Expansion and Contraction -Why It's Important
All modular trench drain systems on the market require a concrete encasement, therefore selecting a trench drain that will meet the wide assortments of conditions is critical to the performance and life span of a properly performing system. Unlike typical drainage pipe, which is buried; and at a relatively stable temperature, trench drain systems are at the surface and subject on a daily basis to wide temperature fluctuations.
ABT Inc's polymer concrete blend is specially formulated to handle the wide temperature fluctuations that are often associated with surface conditions during a daily and seasonal cycle.
HDPE has a lower modulus of elasticity and higher coefficient of thermal expansion than other trench drain materials. These properties cause HDPE trench drains to expand and contract much more from changes in temperature than other trench drain materials. Because of HDPE thermoplastic polymeric nature,its performance is significantly related to its operating temperature.
Because the thermal expansion coefficient of HDPE is approximately 10-15 times that of the steel and concrete it is surrounded by, when exposed to extreme temperature changes, HDPE will experience undesirable structural movements.
Thermal Load in a typical Civil Environment
Daily Temperature Variance in a 24 hr period
50°F to 90°F = 40°F Change
Seasonal Temperature variance in a 12 month period
20°F to 110°F = 90°F Change
