Observations of a day-time mid-latitude ionospheric trough
first_imgA summer, dayside, mid-latitude trough detected by a digital ionosonde located at Halley (76°S, 27°W, L = 4.2) is described. The trough is found to be present in the F2-region only and its movements are found to conform to known trough dynamics. The F1-layer shows a greater degree of development within the trough; slant type sporadic E reflections are present underneath the trough minimum. Satellite data from the northern hemisphere show a conjugate trough, with rapid ion flow occurring within it. Possible formation processes for the trough are examined. It is unlikely that depleted nightside plasma could have contributed to the trough. The trough is formed by the effect of enhanced F2 recombination rates combined with a differing solar production term for the plasma associated with the trough minimum and equatorial edge.last_img read more
An additional record of a placental mammal (Order Astrapotheria) from the Eocene of West Antarctica
first_imgRecently, fossil land mammals have been recorded in the James Ross Island area, east of the Antarctic Peninsula, from the marine middle-late Eocene strata of Seymour Island. These include two endemic species of polydolopid marsupial: Antarctodolops dailyi Woodburne & Zinsmeister 1984, and Eurydolops seymourensis Case, Woodburne & Chaney 1988, and three partly determinate placentals identified as a tardigrade edentate, a sparnotheriodontid litoptern and a trigonostylopid astrapothere (Bond et al. 1989). The marsupials are represented by fragmentary jaw and complete dental material, the litoptern and astrapothere only by tooth fragments. All are recorded from Unit TELM 5 of the La Meseta Formation (Sadler 1988), the two ungulates at a lower level than the rest. The subject of the present note is a second tooth fragment from Seymour Island identified as an astrapothere. It is worth recording because such mammal remains are rare and it is from TELM 4, the unit below that yielding the other land mammalslast_img read more
Climatic implications of background acidity and other chemistry derived from electrical studies of the Greenland Ice Core Project ice core
first_imgHigh-resolution continuous profiles were obtained on the Greenland Ice Core Project (GRIP) ice core using two different electrical methods. After correction for temperature and density, the electrical conductivity method (ECM) technique responds only to acidity, while dielectric profiling (DEP) responds to acid, ammonium, and chloride. Detailed chemistry on a section of glacial-age ice allows us to confirm the calibration factor for chloride in DEP. Acidity dominates the DEP variability in the Holocene, Allerod/Bolling, and larger interstadials; ammonium dominates in the Younger Dry as, while chloride is the major contributor in cold periods including smaller interstadials. From the electrical signals plotted on a linear timescale we can deduce the background (nonvolcanic) acidity of the ice, varying from always acidic in the Holocene to always alkaline in the cold periods. In the interstadials, the ice is close to neutral, with most of it acidic in larger interstadials, most of it alkaline in smaller ones, and rapid alternations within interstadials. It is not clear whether neutralization of individual acidic particles occurred in the atmosphere or whether acid and alkaline particles coexisted until deposition in the snowpack. The changes in acidity observed at GRIP apply at least to all of Greenland and probably to much of North America. There would have been ecological effects and important changes in the uptake of some chemicals onto ice. If acidic sulfate particles were neutralized and removed from the atmosphere, which remains uncertain, then there are atmospheric chemistry and radiative effects that require further investigation.last_img read more

The effect of geometry on ice shelf ocean cavity ventilation: a laboratory experiment
first_imgA laboratory experiment is constructed to simulate the density-driven circulation under an idealized Antarctic ice shelf and to investigate the flux of dense and freshwater in and out of the ice shelf cavity. Our results confirm that the ice front can act as a dynamic barrier that partially inhibits fluid from entering or exiting the ice shelf cavity, away from two wall-trapped boundary currents. This barrier results in a density jump across the ice front and in the creation of a zonal current which runs parallel to the ice front. However despite the barrier imposed by the ice front, there is still a significant amount of exchange of water in and out of the cavity. This exchange takes place through two dense and fresh gravity plumes which are constrained to flow along the sides of the domain by the Coriolis force. The flux through the gravity plumes and strength of the dynamic barrier are shown to be sensitive to changes in the ice shelf geometry and changes in the buoyancy fluxes which drive the flow.last_img read more
Effects of temperature on extracellular hydrolase enzymes from soil microfungi
first_imgSoil microbes play important roles in global carbon and nutrient cycling. Soil microfungi are generally amongst the most important contributors. They produce various extracellular hydrolase enzymes that break down the complex organic molecules in the soil into simpler form. In this study, we investigated patterns of amylase and cellulase (which are responsible for breaking down starch and cellulose, respectively) relative activity (RA) on solid media at different culture temperatures in fungal strains from Arctic, Antarctic and tropical soils. Fungal isolates from all three regions were inoculated onto R2A media supplemented with starch for amylase and carboxymethylcellulose and trypan blue for cellulase screening. The isolates were then incubated at 4, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 °C and examined for activity after 5 and 10 days, for tropical and polar isolates, respectively. The data obtained indicate that the polar fungal strains exhibited similar patterns of amylase and cellulase RA. Both Arctic and Antarctic fungi showed highest RA for amylase and cellulase at 35 °C, while colony growth was maximised at 15 °C. Colony growth and RA of the polar isolates were negatively correlated suggesting that, as temperatures increase, the cells become stressed and have fewer resources available to invest in growth. Unlike polar isolates, tropical isolates did not exhibit any trend of colony growth with temperature, rather having idiosyncratic patterns in each isolate. The low enzyme production and RA levels in the tropical strains may suggest both a low ability to respond to temperature variation in their natural thermally stable tropical habitats, as well as a level of thermal stress limiting their enzyme production ability.last_img read more

Origins Science in U.S. K-12 Public Schools; Is it Education or Indoctrination?
A Biophysicist and Constitutional Lawyer Address a Profound Question. Is it OK for our public schools to teach only Atheistic answers to ultimate religious questions?
Where do we come from and what is the nature of life? These are the two biggies implicitly addressed by U.S. K-12 origins science education. The answers form the foundation for the third: How should life be lived ethically and morally? The answers to the third will be significantly affected by how we answer the first two.
The authors show that there are two evidence-based alternatives to the first two. We either come from unguided material causes without purpose or we come from material and intelligent causes for a purpose. The materialistic alternative provides the foundation for non-theistic religious answers to questions of ethics and morality, while the teleological alternative supports theistic answers.
The problem is that modern origins science uses a concealed materialistic orthodoxy that permits only Atheistic narratives about the origin of the Universe, of life and the diversity of life. Thus, when these materialistic/atheistic explanations are taught by our K-12 public schools, the impressionable kids are only given an atheistic narrative rather than an objective education about the evidence for and against both views.
Calvert, the lawyer who switched from stock fraud to Constitutional law 20 years ago, explains how the law actually favors the objective rather than the materialistic method for origins science education. Atheism is just as religious as theism for First Amendment purposes. Accordingly, just as the schools cannot push a theistic prayer during the invocation at a high school graduation, neither can it adopt or implement an atheistic orthodoxy when teaching origins science. He also explains that objectivity is also required as the scientific method for the testing of historical narratives require consideration of all evidence-based alternatives.
At the end, the Authors provide a set of ten suggestions for the development of objective standards and curricula for teaching origins science.

Question: How The Rock Cycle Works Step By Step?
What are three rock cycles?
There are three kinds of rock: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic..
What is a rock cycle Class 7?
The process of transformation of rocks from one form to an other in a cyclic manner is known as the rock cycle. It includes the following processes: Hot lava cools down to form igneous rocks. … When these igneous and sedimentary rocks are subjected to great heat and pressure, they change into metamorphic rocks.
What is the rock cycle diagram?
What are the 5 types of rock?
Rocks: Igneous, Metamorphic and SedimentaryAndesite.Basalt.Dacite.Diabase.Diorite.Gabbro.Granite.Obsidian.More items…
What is an example of a rock cycle?
Here is an example of the rock cycle describing how a rock can change from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic over time. … Melted rock or magma is sent to the earth’s surface by a volcano. It cools and forms an igneous rock.
Do rocks grow?
Rocks can grow taller and larger Rocks also grow bigger, heavier and stronger, but it takes a rock thousands or even millions of years to change. … Water also contains dissolved metals, which can “precipitate” out of seawater or freshwater to grow rocks. These rocks are called concretions or nodules.
What are the 6 steps of the rock cycle?
Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks on the surface of the earth are constantly being broken down by wind and water….When the particles are carried somewhere else, it is called erosion.Transportation. … Deposition. … Compaction & Cementation.
What is the rock cycle in order?
What are the 7 steps of the rock cycle?
Steps of the Rock CycleWeathering. Simply put, weathering is a process of breaking down rocks into smaller and smaller particles without any transporting agents at play. … Erosion and Transport. … Deposition of Sediment. … Burial and Compaction. … Crystallization of Magma. … Melting. … Uplift. … Deformation and Metamorphism.More items…
How long is the rock cycle?
approximately 20 million yearsExercise 3.1 Rock around the Rock-Cycle clock A conservative estimate is that each of these steps would take approximately 20 million years (some may be less, others would be more, and some could be much more).
How is the rock cycle important?
The rock cycle is predictable and provides insight into the probable locations of energy sources. For example, fossil fuels are found in sedimentary environments while radioactive elements for nuclear energy (uranium) may be found in igneous or sedimentary environments.
How do you explain the rock cycle?
The rock cycle is a concept used to explain how the three basic rock types are related and how Earth processes, over geologic time, change a rock from one type into another. Plate tectonic activity, along with weathering and erosional processes, are responsible for the continued recycling of rocks.
What is the rock cycle for kids?
The rock cycle is the long, slow journey of rocks down from Earth’s surface and then back up again. … During the rock cycle, rocks form deep in the Earth, move and sometimes change, go up to the surface, and eventually return below the ground. The three main kinds of rock are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
What does class 7 of the rock cycle?
This process of transformation of rocks from one to another is known as the rock cycle. When molten magma cools, it solidifies to become igneous rocks are broken down into smaller particles that are transported and deposited to form sedimentary rocks.
How does the rock cycle start?
The rock cycle begins with molten rock (magma below ground, lava above ground), which cools and hardens to form igneous rock. Exposure to weathering and erosional forces, break the original rock into smaller pieces. … Eventually, these metamorphic rocks may be heated to the point where they again melt into magma.

T1 - The effect of aging on directional tuning when making judgments about horizontal and vertical motion PY - 2011 Y1 - 2011/09/01 DO - 10.1167/11.11.468 JO - Journal of Vision JA - Journal of Vision VL - 11 IS - 11 SP - 468 EP - 468 SN - 1534-7362 AB - Motion direction identification is impaired in older subjects (Bennett et al., Vis Res, 2007). One explanation for this effect is that the bandwidth of directionally selective mechanisms broadens with age. Although neurophysiological work with senescent primates has found evidence of broader directional tuning in V1 neurons, it is not known if directional tuning changes similarly as a function of age in human observers. To investigate this issue, we measured direction discrimination thresholds in six younger and six older adults. The stimuli were random dot kinematograms (RDK; 400 dots), and the dependent variable was the percentage of coherently moving dots needed to discriminate left-right or up-down motion. RDKs were embedded in a mask consisting of 100 dots moving coherently in four directions: d ± δ deg and (d + 180) ± δ deg, where d is the target direction and δ is the difference between target and mask directions. For both left-right and up-down target motion, thresholds in both age groups declined monotonically as δ increased from 5 to 90 deg. For left-right target motion, neither the slope of the masking function nor threshold in a no-mask baseline condition differed between age groups. For up-down target motion, the masking function obtained with older subjects had a slope that was one-half of the slope obtained with younger subjects, and threshold in the no-mask condition was, on average, twice as high in older than younger subjects. These preliminary results are inconsistent with the idea that there is a non-specific decrease in the selectivity of directionally-tuned mechanisms with age. They suggest, instead, that the effect of aging on the selectivity of directional masking may vary with the target direction. Currently we are replicating this result on a larger sample of subjects, and generalizing it to different dot densities and speeds. Y2 - 5/18/2021 UR - ER -

LEME Database Encoding Practice
Tagging in LEME adds information about the features of Early Modern English word-entries so as to support advanced searching. For example, we tag a word by its language so that researchers can restrict their searches to that language. We also encode texts so as to expand abbreviations and emend typos, thereby making word-entries easier to read.
LEME uses tags that are explicitly called for by lexicographical practices in this period. Early Modern lexicographers are seldom interested in variant spellings or syllabification: as a result, we do not have tags for these. LEME also does not require a conventional order of elements in a word-entry. If a lexicographer wants to reverse the order of headword and explanation, use sentences as headwords, or permit etymons inside an explanation, so be it. We do not use the word "definition" for an explanation because definitions bore only a non-lexical meaning until the first quarter of the eighteenth century. Definitions applied to things, not words. An explanation may be idiosyncratic. It can include translated equivalents, synonyms, logical definitions (of things), conceptualizations, etymologies, and even anecdotal digressions. Word-entries may appear as running prose within paragraphs.
The simpler the LEME tagset can be, the better. When drilling down into a word-entry, LEME enables you to see this encoding. All word-entries have these three structural tags:
<wordentry type="a">
<form lang="en">
<xpln lang="en">
Each word-entry contains a headword (form) and an explanation (xpln). Each tag has a small number of features. The word-entry here is marked as sorted alphabetically within the dictionary. Both form and xpln tags can have a feature or element, lang, that specifies their language. Most tags come in pairs: the first one begins characterizing the word that follows, and the second tag ends that annotation.
Tags also describe other structures inside word-entries. Both form and xpln may enclose other tags, some of which is textual: expan marks an expanded abbreviation, emend the LEME editor's emendation of a typo, correction the scribe's change of a word or passage in a manuscript text, and damage a section of the text that is obliterated. Inside a word-entry, term tags mark a change in language and xref marks a cross-reference. Each word-entry may also have, as an internal feature, an element that LEME calls a lexeme, which is the modern spelling and part of speech for the corresponding headword in the Oxford English Dictionary.
<wordentry type="h">
<form lexeme="ditty(n)">
the matter of a song.</xpln>
Imagine tags as Russian dolls. The outermost two-part leme tag encloses a number of inner sections, which may enclose several smaller gatherings, such as different glossaries. Each glossary may consist of groups of word-entries, such as for words beginning with A, B, C, etc., or for word-entries about a series of topical subjects.
The art of assigning lexemes to old-spelling words is called lemmatization. Lemmatization enables LEME to respond to search queries expressed in modern spellings by listing word-entries whose forms and explanations use old spellings and inflections of the search term.
In modern dictionaries, word-entries often have sub-entries that describe different senses of the headword. Many Early Modern lexical works do not clearly mark senses but all the same may have reams of sub-entries. Here is a sample from John Rider's English-Latin dictionary of 1589:
<wordentry type="h">
<form lang="en">
To Chaine, or tie in, or with chaines. </form>
<xpln lang="la">
1 Cateno.
<subform lang="en">To chaine together.</subform>
<subxpln lang="la">
1 Concateno.</subxpln>
<subform lang="en">
<subxpln lang="la">
1 Catenatus, p. catenarius, ad</subxpln>
<subform lang="en">
A chaine.</subform>
<subxpln lang="la">
1 Catena, f.</subxpln>
<subform lang="en">
A little chaine.</subform>
<subxpln lang="la">
1 Catenula, catenna, f. catellum, n.</subxpln>
<subform lang="en">
A chaining.</subform>
<subxpln lang="la">
1 Catenatio, f.</subxpln>
Rider's practice does not conform to modern expectations in some respects. Note how he places a miniature monolingual English word-entry within the headword form; and how his sub-entries sometimes resemble a different sense ("To chaine together"), and other times various derivatives of the "Cateno" word-family (which all share the same root).
LEME aims at an intelligible transcription of its lexical texts. In the 1990s, I developed a more florid tag-set suited for diplomatic or critical editions. When I changed from making editions to developing a database, my tags contracted. Eventually, with the emergence of the Text Encoding Initiative guidelines, I disregarded most tags for traits of display (e.g., font) and bibliographical elements (e.g., signature, catchword, running-titles). Yet LEME often keeps to the original lineation of its texts because that promotes easier proofreading.
Encoding in LEME exists even at the level of the individual character. Unicode supplies us with what we need, although it also uses many popular entity references that are not as taxing on memory as Unicode. For example, ­ (soft hyphen) joins words split by a line-end, & is ampersand, and œ and æ are the two digraphs. In another respect, regrettably, LEME lacks a standard for reproducing special abbreviation characters in Renaissance texts. We use our own shorthand codes based loosely on the appearance of the character, but in very formal encoding for exchange purposes, we use Babelmap, an excellent tool, to input actual Unicode character sets.
Various tags are permitted and recognized within wordentries but, during processing, are silently ignored. They are <cit>, <correction>, <damage>, <doubtful>, <f>, <hungword>, <infl>, <lemeformat>, <pos>, <pronun>, and <s>. They can be seen but are not acted on by the database.
The tag collection in LEME is a creature of SQL database technology. It does not pretend to be a recommended standard for other corpora. However, LEME is translating its SQL tags into two formal xml languages for purposes of exchange: one uses LEME's own tags, and the other uses TEI, an international standard. A discussion of that will coincide with the release of LEME's texts in xml format.

The Making of Comprehensive Musicians
Inspiration from the Podium
The 2016 All-State Mixed Choir was fortunate to sing under the direction of Jing Ling-Tam from the University of Texas, Arlington. Students experienced repertoire from outside our region’s “typical” tradition, most notably taking them to the folk traditions of East Asia. Folk songs from China, Mongolia, and the Philippines were balanced with Mozart, Rachmaninoff, and a Real Group Jazz chart. Jing Ling-Tam was creative in her approach to teaching the different elements of these unique pieces, focusing in one moment on authentic vocal tone for the various traditions of the repertoire, and the next moment working to create a genuine understanding of the background and musical elements inherent in each piece.
Ling-Tam was a demanding rehearsalist, but also a captivating performer herself. When the energy was low or students were having a difficult time focusing in rehearsal she would interrupt herself with a “commercial break,” where she would sit down at the piano and improvise a song for the students. Her music making in these moments was uninhibited, using humor to redirect the students to a theme she wanted them to focus on. It is in these commercials that the depth of her musicianship became incredibly clear to these students as she sang and played, oftentimes with hilarious results.
One theme that Jing Ling-Tam continued to circle back to throughout the week was the difficulty of really “loving oneself.” She told stories that explained her vulnerable struggle with this idea, and challenged the students to love themselves always. After a long rehearsal or a difficult run-through of a song, students would echo her in a goofy but touching self-affirmation ending with, “I love myself.” Our singers left camp touched by Jing Ling-Tam’s honest approach to music making and her rigorous pursuit of excellence.

The 2016 Minnesota All-State Women’s Choir was fortunate to work with Sigrid Johnson during their weeklong camp this summer. Mrs. Johnson brought intense focus and musical clarity to the very first rehearsal with these 77 singers. She began the week asking students, “When listening to a choral ensemble, what is it that causes you to be distracted?” This led to her brilliant and efficient work with vocal blend focusing on specific desired tone qualities and pitch accuracy from each and every singer.
The goal of the first night was to “sing together well!” The students were challenged to memorize their music quickly in order to continue to build upon good vocal technique and interpretation, and to not get stuck in one sound (i.e. pop scoops, operatic vibrato, straight tone, etc.). Although students showed amazing perseverance and focus during the long hours of rehearsal, an encouraging phrase from Mrs. Johnson such as, “It’s the pickiness that creates art! Don’t be bugged by that!” was always helpful and led to smiles and nods from the singers.
In the midst of making beautiful music together, Sigrid left time for building character and confidence. One afternoon she asked the student, “What one quality would you like people to say about you? Not what they WOULD say about you, but what would you would LIKE them to say?” Each student came up with a word that they hoped described themselves such as “brave,” “ambitious,” “welcoming,” etc. “You see,” said Mrs. Johnson, “there is a good reason that God put your voice between your head and your heart.”

The 2016 MMEA All-State Men’s Choir was under the direction of Dr. Andrew Last from Luther College, Iowa, and they were fortunate to experience an exceptional week of singing, artistry, and personal growth. The repertoire selected by Dr. Last was a key ingredient in allowing for an inspirational week. One of Andrew’s criteria for literature selection is to choose music that he personally loves. In turn, the men loved each piece. The repertoire was stylistically varied and contrasting, and the men’s favorite piece was always the song they were presently rehearsing or performing. The music was a vehicle for tremendous growth in artistic understanding and expression. The musical line was sophisticated yet intuitively attainable when approached by open young men who were fully engaged intellectually, emotionally and physically. The commitment from each and every student in rehearsal and performance was palpable. The level of difficulty was challenging while allowing students to get far beyond the notes and rhythm and to find themselves lost in the flow of the work.
The literature included harmonic, rhythmic, dynamic, texture and melodic challenges that stretched the invested musicians. The vocal color palate was breathtakingly warm, light and lyrical with delicate pianissimo when required and vibrant and full elsewhere, always maintaining an honest execution, true to literature. Andrew brought his authentic self to camp. His humble and understated personality, intellectually stimulating exchanges, positive rehearsal psychology and depth of humanity guided his work and relationships. The rehearsal environment, enjoyed by all, was marked by continual growth in pursuit of musical excellence, engagement, supportive relationships, vulnerability, and a circle of trust. The men left the camp changed; they became better musicians and better people.

Many thanks to our colleagues for these lovely reflections which capture the exceptional experience that the 2016-2017 All-State Conductors provided to their choirs this summer. They serve as a reminder of the impact of the work that we all do on the podium each year. May we find challenge in the wisdom and example of these fine conductors. Work to teach each singer beyond the music. Challenge their better selves. Draw connections to, in, and through the process of singing and the music. Listen to them, not just their singing. Help to inspire all of our singers to become comprehensive musicians.

Tow Hitch Mount 40W Dual LED Pod Light Kit for Any Truck or SUV Installation Guide
This guide will show you how to install our dual 20W CREE LED pod lights on a 2" or 2-1/2" tow hitch (70-243). This is a universally fit LED set that will fit on any truck or SUV with a tow hitch mount. This is ideal when you don't use your truck to tow. The tow hitch is unutilized in that regard. So instead of not towing anything, why not add a light source that you WILL use? The tow hitched mounted dual 20W LED pod lamps work as a backup reverse light, a rear fog lamp, or an off-road search light. Let's begin the installation.
Step 1: Bolt on the metal mounting brackets onto the tow hitch. Slide in the rectangular brackets with the shorter legs outwards.
Route the bolts from the inside so that the threaded end points outwards to secure the rectangular brackets to the tow hitch.
If you cannot get your hand inside the tow hitch, use a pair of pliers to hold on to the bolts and route them through the holes.
Step 2: Fasten the longer LED pod light mounting bracket to the rectangular metal brackets using a set of nuts, bolts, and washers.
Step 3: Install the U-shaped brackets onto the LED pod light units. Refer to our guide on how to assemble an LED pod light.
Step 4: Mount the LED pod lights to the tow hitch brackets. Route the bolts upwards through the U-shaped brackets and the long mounting brackets and secure them with nuts. You will have a much harder time securing the nuts and bolts otherwise.
You can either mount the LED pod lights below the legs or hanging on the legs.
Step 5: Connect the wires of the LED pod lights to the existing wire harness of your desired function. For example, if you want your dual LED pod lamps to work as a backup reverse light, connect the wires to your existing reverse light harness.
Step 6: Test your LED pod lights to make sure they light up. Once they do, your truck or SUV can now fully make use of its tow hitch!
Make full use of your empty tow hitch for when you are not towing with your truck or SUV. Instead of carrying a load some of the time, your truck or SUV can now carry an LED light ALL of the time! Find this or any of our off-road truck lighting solutions at our shop.

Faithfulness in Reproving Sin
As the people stood before Mount Sinai, listening to the voice of God, they were so forcibly impressed with his sacred presence that they retreated in terror, and cried out to Moses, “Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.” [Exodus 20:19.] There before the mount they made solemn vows of allegiance to God; but scarcely had the thunders, and the trumpet, and the voice of the Lord ceased, when they were bowed upon their knees before an idol. Their leader had been called away from their sight, and was enveloped in a thick cloud, in converse with God.
The fellow laborer of Moses, who was left with the solemn charge of the people in his absence, heard them uttering complaints that Moses had left them, and expressing a desire to return to Egypt; yet, through fear of offending the people, he was silent. He did not stand up boldly for God; but to please the people he made a golden calf. He

Different Perspective
Hearing the Intent
Many people believe that successful audio engineering is based in a person's ability to understand technology and what individual tools are capable of. In reality, successful audio engineering is founded in the ability to understand what you are hearing, how that differs from the intent, and how to then correctly apply the technology.
Broken Soul works with churches and their engineers to help them better improve their audio capability, to better integrate audio engineers with their organization, and to understand how success is influenced by authentic community.

While the 2020 general election is now behind us, politics are still on a lot of people's minds. For some employees, their passion for politics are not put on hold when they arrive at work. Here, we explore what employers can and cannot do when it comes to regulating employee political activity.
State and Federal Laws on Limiting Political Activity at Work
With some exceptions, private employers generally have broad authority to limit political activity and speech in the workplace. The First Amendment applies only to government action and does not create a universally protectable right to free speech.
Furthermore, there is no federal statute prohibiting employment discipline or discrimination on the basis of political activity. As such, subject to a few limitations, from a federal law perspective, employers are free to implement workplace policies that prohibit their employees from engaging in political activities and speech.
However, a number of cities and states have laws that afford employees more liberty in their political activities than is guaranteed on the federal level. Included among those are California, Seattle (but not Washington state as a whole), New York, and Washington, D.C. These laws vary by jurisdiction, so it is important to learn the relevant statute before taking action as it may contain important exceptions to the general rule described above.
On the federal level, the most important exception to the general rule might be found in the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Some collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) prohibit employers from discriminating or retaliating based on an employee's political activities.
Regardless of whether it is spelled out in a CBA, the NLRA allows employees to engage in "concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection …" This means that employees across the country, both union and non-union, are entitled to engage in activities and communications regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment, outside of work.
The principle applies even when those issues are not directly related to their particular workplace. Of course, an employer may still enforce rules, such as an attendance policy, if the employees' political activities result in rule or policy violations, even if the employee has missed work for political activities related to wages, hours, etc.
Why Limit Employee Political Activity?
While the right to free speech is generally protected only from government action, the principle is an important component of a healthy democracy. So why might employers want to limit employees' ability to engage in political activity? There is at least one legal reason and one business reason.
If allowed, it is possible that political activities and conversations might turn to topics regarding protected characteristics such as race, gender, or religion. Some examples might relate to Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ+, or efforts to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace.
Should such an activity result in discipline from the employer, along with being at risk for violating a state law or local ordinance, the employer might be perceived as clamping down on—and therefore discriminating against—employees who might fall within those protected classes. Accordingly, regulating political activity potentially exposes employers to liability.
From a business perspective, it is certainly true that a more cohesive workforce is a more productive one. Given the divisive nature of politics, it might make sense to ask employees to leave such engagements at the door.
Conversely, some employees may not be able to stay focused or feel included and/or welcome if they are unable to have some level of political engagement or expression. An employer might find it useful to adopt a "middle ground" that might work for most situations, particularly in those jurisdictions that protect employees who engage with co-workers on political issues.
There is no substitute for expert advice when dealing with issues fraught with personal rights and potential liabilities for an employer. The best policy surrounding political activity is different for every business. When developing rules and policies addressing the subject, be sure to consult labor and employment counsel to ensure your rules and policies comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws.

The technique of glass fusing involves designing, cutting and then stacking, or layering, thin sheets of glass, often using different colors to create patterns or simple images. The piece is then placed inside the kiln and heated through a series of ramps and soaks (hold time) until the separate pieces begin to bond (fuse) together. This is acheived at a temperture of about 1490 degrees.
The glass is then either placed in a mold and re-fired (slump) to give it the shape of plates, bowls, candle holders etc. or cut, polished and re-fired to create unique pieces of jewelry.
All my creations are designed and hand made with great care by me in my studio in Whitby, Ontario. They are unique and very durable, to be enjoyed for years to come.
Enjoy! Jocelyne

Is God a delusion? Barrister Charles Taylor examines the evidence in this very readable book. His findings will be controversial to some but offer hope and insight to others.
We are the only species unable to live in harmony with our environment and each other. The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs is nothing compared with our impact on the Earth. We are currently responsible for “The Sixth Great Extinction” of wildlife. Religious terrorism is widespread, though current atrocities are dwarfed by the bloody record of Christianity. The Middle East is destabilised and to East and West we have Presidents Putin and Trump. So called ‘rational’ thinking and the dominance of our left brains have brought us to the brink of disaster.
We need a spiritual revolution allowing individuals to reconnect with their right brain, intuition and spirit. Religions have had their day. They contain key truths, but these truths are usually obscured by manmade rules constructed to gain wealth and power. At the other extreme, materialism denies God, the spirit, free will, consciousness and love. Happily, the facts contradict this dispiriting left brained faith that we are deluded robots stumbling through life.

UV Stabilizers
How do UV absorbers, HALS & nickel quenchers work?
UV absorbers & HALS
Addivant™ LOWILITE® UV absorbers & HALS are used to avoid the chemical reaction process called photodegradation that takes place when UV radiation from sun or artificial light breaks down the chemical bonds in a polymer, ultimately causing cracking, chalking, color changes & the loss of physical properties.
Addivant™ LOWILITE® UV absorbers function by preferentially absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation & dissipating it as thermal energy. Addivant™ LOWILITE® HALS (Hindered Amine) Light Stabilizers do not absorb UV radiation, but they form nitroxyl radicals which act as radical scavengers to inhibit degradation of the polymer. Because the HALS are regenerated rather than consumed during the stabilization process & as they are typically high molecular weight stabilizers, they are capable of providing extreme long-term thermal & light stability.
Addivant™ LOWILITE® nickel quenchers are light stabilizers that are able to take over the energy absorbed by the chromophores & dissipate it either as heat or as fluorescent or phosphorescent radiation to prevent degradation. They are mainly used for agricultural film applications (greenhouse & mulch films) where they offer the best balance between UV protection & interaction with pesticides. Addivant™ LOWILITE® nickel quenchers work synergistically with UV absorbers & are often combined to take advantage of this.

identity of the rate-determining step (RDS). The RDS is the step that limits the rate of reaction, and is therefore a very important piece of information. In this experiment, you will be able to characterize step 3 as either very slow (the RDS) or very fast. * As might be expected, the base-catalyzed reaction has a different mechanism. The rate law or rate equation for a chemical reaction is an equation that links the initial or forward reaction rate with the concentrations or pressures of the reactants and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial reaction orders).

Dynamics of vortex interactions in two-dimensional flows
Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review
The dynamics and interaction of like-signed vortex structures in two dimensional flows are investigated by means of direct numerical solutions of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. Two vortices with distributed vorticity merge when their distance relative to their radius, d/R-0l. is below a critical value, a(c). Using the Weiss-field, a(c) is estimated for vortex patches. Introducing an effective radius for vortices with distributed vorticity, we find that 3.3 < a(c) < 3.5 independently of the vorticity distribution. The evolution of spiral vorticity filaments in the merging process is effectively producing small scale structures and the relation to the enstrophy "cascade" in developed 2D turbulence is discussed. The influence of finite viscosity on the merging is also investigated. Additionally, we examine vortex interactions on a finite domain, and discuss the results in connection with the formation of "vortex crystals".

Design Philosophy
Philosophical foundations for Participatory Design are based on emerging trends in computer-based system designs that seek to go beyond the limits of formalization. These new trends represent efforts to restructure the design of computer-based systems in favor of newer approaches thats encourage creative thinking and doing design as participatory work between users and designers.
The general sense is that formalized descriptions while doing well to insure reliability and efficiency of a product cannot do much in the way of guaranteeing suitability and relevance in practical use.
The main distinction seems to be the difference between propositional knowledge and practical understanding. Propositional knowledge is that which one can come to know and describe in so many words. Factual information and what one can provide a definition for are good examples of propositional knowledge.
Practical understanding goes beyond formal description. It is understanding that comes from the practical experience of doing something and the recall to mind of earlier experiences (Ehn,1993). Propositional knowledge alone of how to draw does not make one a graphic artist, rather it is through practical understanding gained from experience in drawing that one can come to be a graphic artist. Useful designs rely on practical understanding of how tools are used. Designers gain little or no practical understanding from formal system descriptions. The feeling is that it is the lack of practical understanding of tools used by users that causes a hindrance to successful designs.
The goal of participatory design is to provide a context for design experts where they can gain the practical understanding they need for successful design. Users possess the needed practical understanding but lack the insight designers have into new technical possibilities. Bringing designers and users together is the first step towards the goal. The main difficulty lies in getting users to express their practical understanding in the context of new technological possibilities. Design by doing methods, prototyping, scenarios, and mockups are often used to suggest future possibilities to users. Users learn about possibilities and constraints of new computer tools, and as they put their skill into practice in the new environment, users teach designers their practical understanding.
Design takes on a new meaning in participatory design as the interaction between practical understanding and creation (Ehn, 1993). Users and designers use design artifacts as triggers for the imagination rather than as mirror images of reality. Relaxation from correctness of system descriptions opens an invitation to creativity and gives both users and designers a chance to see new aspects of an already well-known practice. It challenges both users and designers to either build on tradition or create something totally new.
Effectiveness of participatory design depends on the full participation of both users and designers. It remains a challenge in participatory design to provide an environment that encourages learning, creativity and communication between users and designers.

A Gentle Introduction to Optimization / Mathematical Programming
Last Updated on August 10, 2021
Whether it is a supervised learning problem or an unsupervised problem, there will be some optimization algorithm working in the background. Almost any classification, regression or clustering problem can be cast as an optimization problem.
In this tutorial, you will discover what is optimization and concepts related to it.
After completing this tutorial, you will know:
What is Mathematical programming or optimization
Difference between a maximization and minimization problems
Difference between local and global optimal solutions
Difference between constrained and unconstrained optimization
Difference between linear and non-linear programming
Examples of optimization
Let’s get started.

Tutorial Overview
This tutorial is divided into two parts; they are:
Various introductory topics related to optimization
Constrained vs. unconstrained optimization
Equality vs. inequality constraints
Feasible region
Examples of optimization in machine learning
What Is Optimization or Mathematical Programming?
In calculus and mathematics, the optimization problem is also termed as mathematical programming. To describe this problem in simple words, it is the mechanism through which we can find an element, variable or quantity that best fits a set of given criterion or constraints.
Maximization Vs. Minimization Problems
The simplest cases of optimization problems are minimization or maximization of scalar functions. If we have a scalar function of one or more variables, f(x_1, x_2, … x_n) then the following is an optimization problem:
Find x_1, x_2, …, x_n where f(x) is minimum
Or we can have an equivalent maximization problem.
When we define functions quantifying errors or penalties, we apply a minimization problem. On the other hand, if a learning algorithm constructs a function modeling the accuracy of a method, we would maximize this function.
Many automated software tools for optimization, generally implement either a maximization problem or a minimization task but not both. Hence, we can convert a maximization problem to a minimization problem (and vice versa) by adding a negative sign to f(x), i.e.,
Maximize f(x) w.r.r x is equivalent to Minimize -f(x) w.r.t. x
As the two problems are equivalent, we’ll only talk about either minimization or maximization problems in the rest of the tutorial. The same rules and definitions apply to its equivalent.
Global Vs. Local Optimum Points
In machine learning, we often encounter functions, which are highly non-linear with a complex landscape. It is possible that there is a point where the function has the lowest value within a small or local region around that point. Such a point is called a local minimum point.
This is opposed to global minimum point, which is a point where the function has the least value over its entire domain. The following figure shows local and global maximum points.
Local and global maximum points
Unconstrained Vs. Constrained Optimization
There are many problems in machine learning, where we are interested in finding the global optimum point without any constraints or restrictions on the region in space. Such problems are called unconstrained optimization problems.
At times we have to solve an optimization problem subject to certain constraints. Such optimization problems are termed as constrained optimization problems. For example:
Minimize x^2 + y^2 subject to. x + y <= 1
Examples of constrained optimization are:
Find minimum of a function when the sum of variables in the domain must sum to one
Find minimum of a function such that certain vectors are normal to each other
Find minimum of a function such that certain domain variables lie in a certain range.
Feasible Region
All the points in space where the constraints on the problem hold true comprise the feasible region. An optimization algorithm searches for optimal points in the feasible region. The feasible region for the two types of constraints is shown in the figure of the next section.
For an unconstrained optimization problem, the entire domain of the function is a feasible region.
Equality Vs. Inequality Constraints
The constraints imposed in an optimization problem could be equality constraints or inequality constraints. The figure below shows the two types of constraints.
Equality vs. inequality constraints
Linear Vs. Non-linear Programming
An optimization problem where the function is linear and all equality or inequality constraints are also linear constraints is called a linear programming problem.
If either the objective function is non-linear or one or more than one constraints is non-linear, then we have a non-linear programming problem.
To visualize the difference between linear and non-linear functions you can check out the figure below.
Linear vs. non-linear functions
Examples of Optimization in Machine Learning
Listed below are some well known machine learning algorithms that employ optimization. You should keep in mind that almost all machine learning algorithms employ some kind of optimization.
Gradient descent in neural networks (unconstrained optimization).
Method of Lagrange multipliers in support vector machines (constrained optimization).
Principal component analysis (constrained optimization)
Clustering via expectation maximization algorithm (constrained optimization)
Logistic regression (unconstrained optimization)
Genetic algorithms in evolutionary learning algorithms (different variants exist to solve both constrained and unconstrained optimization problems).
Method of Lagrange multipliers
Non-linear optimization techniques
The simplex method
If you explore any of these extensions, I’d love to know. Post your findings in the comments below.

Unity in Diversity
Unity in diversity is a phrase that signifies the unity among people with diverse cultural, religious beliefs, social status and other demographic differences.
This phrase has its origins, since ancient times, it is used by various political and social groups to demonstrate unity among the individuals or communities.
This is an ancient phrase was previously used by some societies in North America and China, around 500 BC.
Unity in India is the best example of ‘unity in diversity’ because people living with different religions and culture follow the same laws as laid down by the Constitution of India.
Important of Unity in Diversity:
Unity in Diversity is very important for any country in the following ways as mentioned below:
For National Integration:
Unity in Diversity is very important for a country because it is very easy to disintegrate people with different views and ideologies.
If there is unity among the people despite their differences, it will always be impossible for a force to disintegrate the nation.
The unity of citizens plays a very important role in maintaining peace and prosperity in a country.
For development and growth:
Unity in diversity plays an important role in the development of the country because the country which is integrated will always move on the path of development.
It will face fewer internal issues than a country that is socially unstable and divided on different terms.
For Global recognition:
A country that is diverse, but still united, not only adds value to the nation but is also respected on international platforms.
It sets an example globally by displaying the values and morals of the citizens of a country who respect and support each other despite being from different backgrounds and cultures.
For peaceful co-existence:
Diversity can also be the cause of internal conflicts but unity in diversity plays a very important role in maintaining peaceful co-existence with people with diverse culture and backgrounds.
It helps them stay united despite their disagreements.
Difference between Unity and Diversity:
There is a feeling of togetherness and integration in unity. It is the spirit that holds people together and a bond that connotes a sense of fairness.
Unity stands for relations between different groups that bind them into a single unit.
It can also be defined as the absence of differences between people belonging to diverse classes based on religious, linguistic or racial aspects.
In dissimilarity, diversity refers to difference or differentiation. It can be defined as the collective differences of different groups based on religion, race or language etc.
It is a diversity of classes and groups living in different regions, with different cultures, traditions and backgrounds.
Diversity is a natural phenomenon that helps to bring different views, experiences and acceptance among people.
Unity is a state of being while diversity is a state of being separate or different.
A family may have people with different views, interests or preferences who show their diversity in many aspects, but as a family, they demonstrate a sense of unity among them.
Advantages of Unity in Diversity:
1. Unity in diversity increases the morale of people in the workplace, organization and community.
2. It helps to increase coordination, relationships, teamwork among people, thus improving performance, work quality, productivity and lifestyle.
3. This makes communication effective even in poor conditions.
4. Keeps people away from social problems and helps in managing conflicts easily.
5. Improves healthy human relationships and protects equal human rights for all.
6. Unity in diversity provides a source of tourism in India. People from diverse cultures, traditions, cuisines, religions and clothing attract more visitors and tourists from all over the world.
7. This, despite being diverse in various ways, leads to the habit of national unity among the people of the country.
8. It strengthens and enriches the country’s rich heritage as well as India’s cultural heritage.
9. It helps to enrich the agricultural sector through various crops and thus the growth of the economy.
10. Source of skilled and advance professionals in various areas of the country.
Disadvantages of Unity in Diversity:
1. This can give rise to various social tensions between different states and people of linguistic origin.
2. It causes corruption and illiteracy in many areas of the country.
3. Due to underdeveloped infrastructure, power shortage, roads etc. it can be the cause of poor lifestyle in various rural areas.

History of Unity in Diversity:
The prehistory of India, according to the available evidence, can trace the second interglacial period between 4 lakh and 2 lakh BC, when the use of stone tools is recorded.
Other archaeological evidence includes cave paintings, burial sites, skeletal remains, jeweller, pottery and bone tools and megalithic remains with the use of iron, even gold as well as their skeletons with spiritual views of the ancient and Contains relics found around habitat sites.
Proto-History of India:
The Indus Valley Civilization in the western border market is the beginning of India’s proto-historical cultures.
It was an advance of civilization that flourished between 2,500– 1,500 BC.
The Indus Valley Civilization is known for its town planning, dockyards, agricultural practice, training of animal implements and textile weaving, jeweller, use of metals, use of wheel utensils etc.
The Vedic period:
The advent of the Vedic Era began with orientations in India. They were nomadic villagers who also practice agriculture to meet their basic needs.
They did not bring any civilization with them, but owned a strong culture rooted in their beliefs, practices and crops and had a penchant for poetry philosophy and art.
He composed in praise of his gods, was racist and considered himself superior to other indigenous inhabitants of India.
To whom they refer by derogatory names, they practised endogamy and brought the concept of purity and pollution to India for the first time.
This led to the rise of Varna and caste system in India and laid the foundation for the first structural and practical social system in India.
Indian history of unity in diversity the influence of other cultures on the Indian population can be seen in the following
A long history of migration, ecological diversity, cultural philosophy.

Unity in Diversity in India
factors that lead to Unity in Diversity:
1. Geographical unity: It means unity around the geographical boundaries of the country.
2. Religious Unity: It means unity among various religious groups, such as Hindu, Muslim, Christian etc.
All these religions have the same principles like kindness, honesty, the value of life, belief in invisible power etc.
3. Language Integration: If there are many languages across the country, having a link language solves the plurality of languages.
4. Cultural unity: It means unity among various castes, sub-castes and communities. Despite the vastness, most ancient cultures have unity.
5. Political unity: A democratic system of politics that calls for political alliances at all its levels.
6. Emotional unity: This means that there should be an emotional bond and they should be close to each other.
Unity in Diversity in Indian Society:
India has been the best example to prove this concept for many years.
More than 1,000,650 languages and tongues are spoken in India. People from different religious cultures and traditions live here.
They follow different religions of their choice because India is a secular country.
Being related to different cultures, languages and religions, people here respect each other and live with a feeling of love and brotherhood.
India, 5000 years old civilization is a land of diversities, be it religion, caste, race, culture or language, there are many variations in the country.
There are about 29 states and each state has its own culture, tradition and language.
Every year more than 30 grand festivals of various communities are celebrated in the country.
Despite such a difference, the people of India demonstrate a genuine sense of unity among themselves which reflects the concept of unity in diversity.
Unity in India’s diversity culture is considered unique in the world which surprises the global community.
This is due to the age-old tradition of India which has taught people the importance of morality, values, respect and tolerance.
Although people belonging to diverse cultures and communities, they share the bond of humanity, love, respect and are bound by the same strand of nationalism.
People in all parts of this country join with the faith of brotherhood.
Unity in diversity is a great feature of our nation because people of different religions have been in a bond of humanity for many years.
If we are not united then we will surely fall which means “united we stand and divided we fall”.
The Constitution of India has also given every citizen the right and freedom to live their life with dignity and respect, without any interference.
The main reasons for Unity in Diversity in India:
India has witnessed a history of experimenting cultures giving rise to new forms, whose diversity can be felt in the number of cultural groups, religions, languages, occupational units and social-political groups.
This diversity can be readily attributed to the past comprising of years of migration, intermixing, inventions and compared to isolation through the natural geographical boundaries.
The period of change and in the current scenario standing with a total population of 1.33 billion.
India presents the scope of different cultures and traditions, we see the rise of faith, going from the pre-historic period to the Vedic period.
Although it was in the recipient of the form, it differed from one region to another, then with the arrival of the Aryans, different tribal communities had different values and different legacies of organized values giving rise to similar heritage fewer generations.
Hierarchical systems were common everywhere, it differed from region to region.
Therefore Hinduism emerged but not as a religion, but as a single ideology of different practices.
Along with the immigration of other strong religious communities in India, especially Islam and Christianity which persisted for a long time in India.
The merger of customs and the development of teachings, the development of tolerance and solidarity in which the land of India is.
Religions like Judaism which came from other countries of the world confined themselves to small pockets of the Indian subcontinent.
While other religions such as Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism developed in India restricted themselves to heal the region and did not make much difference.
The same effect of migration was seen when people belonging to different ethnic groups immigrated to India.
They mix it up, adopting their social biological characters with local population exchanges and expressing new forms of customs and social designs, resulting in diverse physical forms and lifestyles.
People’s involvement with such a diverse language family proves to be the strength of India’s cultural roots. Equal distribution is still prevalent in India’s tribal diversity.
Some of which are still far from the present world of urbanization and modernization.
Our country goes through phases of cultural development following their ancient traditional values.
Hence it exceeds the spirit of nature and the ancestors worship one of the following religious teachings.
Despite the difference in our social structural formulation, the complexity of the caste system has led to the pain of preaching.
We need acceptance, tolerance and adjustment at its core.
Our Constitution also gives us the status of a sovereign, secular, socialist and democratic republic, which we all enjoy with pride and joy.
Unity in Diversity Examples:
Once in the beautiful lake of different fish, all the fish were proud of their beauty, so they did not talk to each other.
And once a shark came to the lake in search of food and he started eating fishes, some survived for their lives.
They later learn that they have to unite and when the shark returns, the fish join hands against the shark.
Due to the unity of the fishes, the shark did not return to the river. To be united, we must respect each other’s unity in diversity.

Conclusion of Unity in Diversity:
Unity in diversity teaches us that although we are from different caste, creed or race, these differences cannot keep us apart and we are always united for the betterment of our nation.
This is the most unique event which is shown in our country, It not only makes the nation unified and strengthened but it also keeps us alive in the old centuries, the tradition of co-existence with love, peace, honour and respect.
The difference in culture, customs, festivals, music and dance makes the country of vibrancy and makes an incredible country in the world.

Letter to the Editor: American must demand investigation to Jan. 6 events
The Alliance Review
To the Editor:
On May 28, the U.S. Senate filibustered the bill that would have appointed a bipartisan independent commission to investigate the Capitol Insurrection. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called in personal favors to prevent enough Republicans to vote for the measure, making it impossible to get enough votes to prevent a filibuster. Despite there being a clear majority of senators willing to vote for it, it could not pass due to an outdated, abused rule that makes it possible for the minority to prevent legislature from passing.
Six months ago, a mob backed by the then-president tried to accomplish a coup. They tried to overthrow our duly elected government and prevent a legal transition of power. When the vice president, speaker of the House and president of the Senate were all there, a mob forced its way into the Capitol Building, chanting “hang Mike Pence!” and asking where Nancy Pelosi’s office was. They erected a gallows on the Capitol grounds.
And our president did nothing to stop it. He refused to ask for them to stop, to go home. It was hours before he said anything, and his first video statement only emboldened the rioters, the insurrectionists.
And now our Senate has refused to empanel a commission to investigate how this happened. How did it happen that there was such a weak security presence that day? When, just a few weeks earlier, there were armed military, and armored personnel carriers, and tear gas, and flash bang grenades, in response to Black Lives Matter protestors? How, when there were weeks of noise about a huge protest that day. When it was all over social media that Jan. 6 was “going to be wild!”
We need to demand this investigation. We, the American public, have to demand that what happened was not OK, and not business and usual, and not a bunch of tourists seeing the sights! That’s an insult to our intelligence, and to our great country.
Stand up for democracy – let it be known that this commission must happen.

Why Autism Makes It Harder For Your Child to Make Friends
Why Autism Makes It Harder For Your Child to Make Friends
Takeaway: Children with autism struggle to communicate and make friends, but with the help of a specialist, you can help your child learn the skills she needs to socialise and fit in better.
‘Autism’ is a useful label to describe children with a certain type of developmental difference. But it’s a highly nuanced term.
All children with autism aren’t the same. And that’s why we think of them as being on the autism ‘spectrum’ (autism is officially called autism spectrum disorder [ASD]). Their brains have developed differently — i.e., ‘atypically’ — but each child will experience this difference in a largely unique way. They’ll have their own set of strengths and weaknesses that they’ll need to navigate, and a unique personality, too. So, just like a colour spectrum, autistic traits express themselves in subtle shades, and caregivers need to be tuned into these nuances.
Children with autism primarily have differences to do with language, interests, and routines.
Because their brains have developed differently, children with autism often struggle to learn languages. That is, they might have trouble picking up language rules and understanding the flow and rhythm of speech. For example, a child might continuously repeat a word she hears (i.e., a speech pattern called echolalia), use words/phrases that don’t fit the conversation she’s having, or speak with a monotonous tone of voice. Aside from this language issue, children with autism also tend to have highly specific interests like playing with toy trains, learning about dinosaurs, or mastering a musical instrument. (Interestingly, they’ll likely have a great vocabulary to do with their interests and passions, even if their general vocabulary is limited.) They also tend to love routine and order, and get disturbed with even the smallest changes. For example, they might have a meltdown if they’re given a different type of breakfast or have to take a new route to school. Learn more about autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
The biggest challenge that children with autism face, though, is communicating and getting along with others.
All of us want to have friends and feel understood — it’s how we process and express our feelings, needs, and ideas. And this means developing our communication and social skills. You’ll notice that this development starts very early on. For example, babies try to copy Mummy’s speech patterns by babbling, begin to look at people who are talking to them, smile when others smile, and so on. This sort of social exchange interests most children and is a massive part of what keeps them happy and mentally healthy. Children with autism struggle to socialise, though. As we’ve seen, they often have trouble with language, making it harder for them to express themselves. But more importantly, their brain differences mean they struggle to understand the complexity of social interactions, body language, and nonverbal communication. For example, they’ll find it hard to understand subtext (like with sarcasm or jokes), decode facial expressions, make eye contact, take turns playing (or talking, in conversations), and so on. These sorts of skills are the building blocks of rich and fulfilling friendships, and so children with autism regularly miss out on social comforts.
While a child’s family might adapt to her social differences, her friends might be less patient.
Children with autism are likely to annoy and frustrate their classmates because of their differences. For example, they might start talking about random topics that don’t interest anyone else, dominate the conversation, refuse to change subjects, talk really loudly, repeat themselves often, and so on. So if their classmates don’t yet understand autism, they’ll probably walk away fed up and overwhelmed. And this leaves the child with autism feeling confused and abandoned, but not knowing what went wrong.
Obviously, these experiences can cause emotional trauma. So, what can we do to help?
There are three general strategies we can use to help children with autism. The first is to train them to behave ‘appropriately.’ We’d do this by teaching them social skills and rewarding them (via tokens, praise, etc.) for using these skills. Here, the child is a passive learner. The second strategy is to let the social skills themselves be the reward. For example, if a child learns to ask for a drink politely, her reward will simply be getting the drink (which she wouldn’t have got without being polite). Here, the child is a more active learner because she’s motivated by the built-in benefits of the lessons, rather than an artificial, external reward. The final, most organic teaching strategy involves letting the child direct the learning. So, a teacher might set up a range of activities and let the child choose the one she wants. And as the child settles in, the teacher will direct her attention to useful skills and lessons. Here, it’s the teacher who follows the child’s lead, instead of the other way around.
Most parents and caregivers find that a child-focused teaching style works best.
Because each child with autism is unique, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. And so, it’s worth nurturing the skills and interests your child already has, rather than trying to force her into a predetermined social mould. Especially one that makes her feel stifled and uncomfortable. For example, if she loves a particular game, use that playtime as a teaching tool. Perhaps you want her to be less aggressive? Well, as you play, you could imitate (and thereby reinforce) all her non-aggressive actions. But you won’t react to the aggressive ones — like throwing her toys in frustration. By engaging with your child, you’re giving her the message that she’s okay being herself, but you’re also subtly modelling the kind of behaviour you want her to learn. You could also slip in other mini-lessons — for example, making a lot of eye contact, varying the pitch and speed of your speech, using body language like nodding your head in agreement or pointing at her toys, and so on. The point here is that you’re fitting yourself into your child’s world and doing all your teaching from in there.
Above all, try and be as attentive, patient, and appreciative as you can.
It’ll take time to help teach your child the skills she’ll need. And along the way, you’ll need to make small, incremental changes. For example, if your child doesn’t speak much at all, you’ll try and communicate using single words — e.g., saying ‘car’ when you’re playing and want her to pass you the toy car. But if she does speak a bit, you’ll then start using short phrases like ‘push car.’ For older children who find it hard to follow instructions, small changes like breaking up what you want to say into shorter points will help. And you could even explain tasks better by using visual aids and drawing pictures. (Visual daily schedules, in particular, can help your child cope with change by giving her easy-to-understand images of what’s going to happen next. This can be very calming for children with autism when forced to get used to a new routine.)
If all of this seems overwhelming, don’t worry. The right kind of specialist can help.
Remember to celebrate your child’s strengths, not just try to ‘fix’ her weaknesses. For example, she could have problems with communication but might also be witty and goofy, a passionate learner, have an eye for detail, and not care about what other people think of her. It’s all about how you look at it. That’s why it often helps parents to focus on their child’s strengths and hand over other aspects of her care to specialists. At The Ed Psych Practice, we offer face-to-face and online assessments, consultation, advice, and problem-solving strategies for parents, nurseries, schools, and universities in London. We have psychologists, paediatricians, and therapists who can help assess your child and offer guidance and support. To consult with us or set up an appointment:

To look trustworthy, put on a happy face
"You can influence to an extent how trustworthy others perceive you to be in a facial photo," says Jonathan Freeman, "but perceptions of your competence or ability are considerably less able to be changed." (Credit: iStockphoto)
We can alter our facial features to make us look more trustworthy, but not more competent.
A new study points to both the limits and potential we have in visually representing ourselves—in situations that include dating, career-networking sites, and social media posts.
“Our findings show that facial cues conveying trustworthiness are malleable while facial cues conveying competence and ability are significantly less so,” says Jonathan Freeman, assistant professor of psychology at New York University.
“The results suggest you can influence to an extent how trustworthy others perceive you to be in a facial photo, but perceptions of your competence or ability are considerably less able to be changed.”
Muscles and bones
The distinction is due to the fact that judgments of trustworthiness are based on the face’s dynamic musculature that can be slightly altered, with a neutral face resembling a happy expression likely to be seen as trustworthy and equally, a neutral face resembling an angry expression likely to be seen as untrustworthy—even when faces aren’t overtly smiling or angered.
But perceptions of ability are drawn from a face’s skeletal structure, which can’t be changed.
For the study, published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers conducted four experiments in which female and male subjects examined both photos and computer-generated images of adult men.
In the first, subjects looked at five distinct photos of 10 adult men of different ethnicities. Here, subjects’ perceptions of trustworthiness of those pictured varied significantly, with happier-looking faces seen as more trustworthy and angrier-looking faces seen as more untrustworthy. However, the subjects’ perceptions of ability, or competence, remained static—judgments were the same no matter which photo of the individual was being judged.
Happy and angry expressions
A second experiment replicated the first, but here, subjects evaluated 40 computer-generated faces that slowly evolved from “slightly happy” to “slightly angry,” resulting in 20 different neutral instances of each individual face that slightly resembled a happy or angry expression.
As with the first experiment, the subjects’ perceptions of trustworthiness paralleled the emotion of the faces—the slightly happier the face appeared, the more likely he was seen to be trustworthy and vice versa for faces appearing slightly angrier. However, once again, perceptions of ability remained unchanged.
In the third experiment, the researchers implemented a real-world scenario. Here, subjects were shown an array of computer-generated faces and were asked one of two questions: which face they would choose to be their financial advisor (trustworthiness) and which they thought would be most likely to win a weightlifting competition (ability).
Under this condition, the subjects were significantly more likely to choose as their financial advisor the faces resembling more positive, or happy, expressions. By contrast, emotional resemblance made no difference in subjects’ selection of successful weightlifters; rather, they were more likely to choose faces with a particular form: those with a comparatively wider facial structure, which prior studies have associated with physical ability and testosterone.
In the fourth experiment, the researchers used a “reverse correlation” technique to uncover how subjects visually represent a trustworthy or competent face and how they visually represent the face of a trusted financial advisor or competent weightlifting champion. This technique allowed the researchers to determine which of all possible facial cues drive these distinct perceptions without specifying any cues in advance.
Here, resemblance to happy and angry expressions conveyed trustworthiness and was more prevalent in the faces of an imagined financial advisor while wider facial structure conveyed ability and was more prevalent in the faces of an imagined weightlifting champion.
These results confirmed the findings of the previous three experiments, further cementing the researchers’ conclusion that perceptions of trustworthiness are malleable while those for competence or ability are immutable.
Eric Hehman, an NYU postdoctoral researcher, and Jessica Flake, a doctoral candidate at University of Connecticut, are coauthors of the study.

Can Eating Fruits Ever Cause health problems?
Fruits are considered to be one of the healthiest foods you can add in your diet if you have a sweet tooth. They contain fructose, instead of glucose, which does not increase your blood sugar levels suddenly but can help calm some of your sugar cravings. Being rich in nutrients and antioxidants, fruits also boost your health and immunity.
However, researchers have always been unsure about the effects of fruits, especially fructose on your health. Excessive fructose consumption has been linked to conditions like obesity and diabetes and other metabolic disorders.
Now, a group of researchers at the University of California San Diego say that excessive fructose intake can lead to leaky gut and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
The study published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Metabolism suggests that the effects of fructose only become apparent once it reaches the intestines.
The study
Fructose is broken down in our gastrointestinal tract by enzymes produced by the intestines and liver. Using mouse models, the researchers noted that fructose, when it is taken in excess, disrupts the gut barrier inside the intestines. The gut barrier is a layer of cells covered with mucus that prevents the passage of bacteria and toxins into the bloodstream.
When the gut barrier is disrupted, it leads to a chronic inflammatory condition called endotoxemia, meaning the presence of endotoxins (toxins released by some bacteria) inside the blood.
When these endotoxins reach the liver, they cause the liver to convert fructose and glucose into deposits of fatty acids. This leads to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
The researchers observed that high fat and high fructose diet has more severe effects while low amounts of fructose did not have severe effects, suggesting that excessive fructose intake over a long time affects health.
The study also pointed out that restoring the gut barrier may be a good way to manage non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
To eat or not to eat
Looking at the side effects of fructose, the obvious question is: should we consume fruits? The answer is not that simple. Fruits do not just have fructose, but they also have health-building substances like minerals and vitamins.
Besides, fruits are not our only source of fructose; a lot of fast foods contain high fructose corn syrup, which is used as a sweetener.
Most studies mention the side effects of having a high fructose diet. So, it is important to consume fruits or fructose in moderation. Experts suggest that you can have 80g servings of fruits and vegetables five times a day.
Understand the concept of calories, glycemic load (the quantity of sugars present in the food) and glycemic index (the speed with which a food spikes your blood sugar levels). Also, while buying any processed foods, make sure to check the label for the presence of high fructose corn syrup. It is all about being conscious and aware of what your diet consists of and not consuming anything in excess.

Control of heterogeneity in nanostructured Ce1-xZr xO2 Binary oxides for enhanced thermal stability and water splitting activity
Nicholas D. Petkovich, Stephen G. Rudisill, Luke J. Venstrom, Daniel B. Boman, Jane H. Davidson, Andreas Stein
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
112 Scopus citations
To enhance the kinetics and overall production of renewable H2 fuel through a two-step thermochemical water splitting cycle, three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) Ce1-xZr xO2 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5) materials were synthesized via colloidal crystal templating. The interconnected macropore system in these materials facilitates ready access to a relatively large active surface area (tens of m2/g), which benefits the heterogeneous reaction. Two different synthetic routes were employed, a methanolic solution of metal chloride salts, and a Pechini-type gel. These routes produced significant differences in the compositional homogeneity of the resulting mixed oxide. 3DOM Ce1-xZrxO2 synthesized with methanolic precursors had distinct CeO2- and ZrO2-rich domains, whereas the Pechini samples contained only a single phase. At higher Zr content, heterogeneities present in the samples from the methanolic synthesis increased both the productivity and peak production rates of H2 compared to the single-phase Pechini samples. Increasing the content of Zr in the mixed oxides also stabilized the 3DOM structure at 825 °C. All 3DOM Ce 1-xZrxO2 materials exhibited significantly faster kinetics during water splitting compared to sintered, micrometer-sized CeO2 granules. Pechini-derived 3DOM Ce0.8Zr 0.2O2 maximized both H2 production and peak production rates, offering better catalytic performance over 3DOM CeO 2.

The Ultimate Guide to Weather and Climate
Table of ContentsWeather And Climate for BeginnersWeather And Climate Fundamentals ExplainedExcitement About ClimateHow Climate can Save You Time, Stress, and Money.
Cahill 2015 Using this information, in the late 1800s and early 1900s a German climate scientist called Wladimir Koppen divided the world’s environments into categories. His classifications were based upon the temperature, the quantity of precipitation, and the times of year when rainfall takes place. The categories were also affected by an area’s latitudethe fictional lines utilized to measure our Earth from north to south from the equator. Today, environment researchers split the Earth into roughly five primary kinds of environments. They are: In this hot and humid zone, the average temperatures are higher than 64F (18C) year-round and there is more than 59 inches of precipitation each year.
In this zone, there are generally warm and humid summertimes with thunderstorms and mild winter seasons. These regions have warm to cool summertimes and really cold winter seasons. In the winter, this zone can experience snowstorms, strong winds, and extremely cold temperaturessometimes falling listed below -22 F (-30 C)! In the polar environment zones, it’s very cold. Even in summer season, the temperatures here never ever go higher than 50F (10C)! This is roughly where those climate zones appear on a globe: Distance to the equator is only one part of an area’s environment. Things like the movement of the oceans and Earth’s tilt and rotation likewise impact how weather condition patterns move around the world.
The 10-Second Trick For Weather
The additional climate zone, labeled “H” on this map, is an unique zone called the highlands. The highlands environment zone is characterized by weather that differs from the surrounding area due to the fact that of mountains. Credit: NOAA (customized) Environment zones can be beneficial for gardening and farming. Plants grow finest in the climate conditions that are discovered in their native community. For instance, if you wish to plant an apple orchard in your yard, you must first examine to see which ranges of apples are a good match for your region’s environment. This is called a Plant Hardiness Zone map. It’s a particular kind of climate zone map that can help you determine what type of plants will survive in your garden.
Nevertheless, they also gather details that assists us monitor a region’s climate with time. For instance, satellites in the GOES-R seriesshort for Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-Rcan keep an eye on the sea surface area temperature and the Gulf Stream, a powerful present in the Atlantic Ocean. Both of these things can influence an area’s climate. In addition, the temperature level of the land becomes cooler during the night, and there are modifications in the quantity of clouds. The GOES-R series satellites monitor cloudiness and land surface temperatureinformation that assists scientists to understand how the distinctions between day and night can affect a region’s climate. Satellites in the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) can likewise supply information on distinctions in between day and night.
Fascination About World Climates
As the satellite orbits from North Pole to South Pole, it captures observations in the afternoon on one side of Earth and observations of the morning on the other side of the planet. While JPSS orbits, the satellites offer worldwide observations of lots of other variables that influence climate such as atmospheric temperature and water vapor, snow and ice cover, greenery, sea and land surface temperature, precipitation and more. These add essential info to our records of regional distinctions in Earth’s climate.
Stats of climate condition in a given region over extended periods Environment is the long-lasting average of weather, normally balanced over a period of 30 years. More carefully, it denotes the mean and irregularity of meteorological variables over a time spanning from months to millions of years. A few of the meteorological variables that are typically determined are temperature level, humidity, air pressure, wind, and rainfall. In a broader sense, climate is the state of the elements of the climate system, that includes the ocean and ice on Earth. The environment of a location is impacted by its latitude, terrain, and elevation, in addition to neighboring water bodies and their currents.
The World Climates Statements
The most frequently used classification plan was the Kppen climate classification. The Thornthwaite system, in usage because 1948, integrates evapotranspiration together with temperature level and rainfall details and is used in studying biological variety and how environment modification affects it. The Bergeron and Spatial Synoptic Category systems concentrate on the origin of air masses that define the environment of an area. Paleoclimatology is the study of ancient environments. Given that extremely couple of direct observations of environment are readily available prior to the 19th century, paleoclimates are presumed from proxy variables that consist of non-biotic proof such as sediments found in lake beds and ice cores, and biotic proof such as tree rings and coral.

Black sands and green sea turtles
The main task we needed to accomplish today was changing sides of the island, going from Volcano on the leeward side and about 3,800 feet elevation to Kailua-Kona on the windward coast. We were following Route 11, but made s short side trip to visit the Punalu’u Beach Park.
It is one of the famous black sand beaches, formed when hot lava met the ocean, became brittle, and shattered into grains. Trinity showed me that among the black grains were green crystals of olivine, which is prevalent in the flows of Kilauea, and also a few yellow crystals. On the inland side of the black sand is a ring of coconut palms and beyond them a freshwater duckpond filled with flowering plants. Between the sand and the surf were black lava rocks, some with algae clinging to them, and some trapping little pools of water on or among them that sheltered shellfish and tiny fishes. In other places, the black sand stretched beneath the waves with no intervening rocks.
Best of all, in two areas of the beach, partitioned off by arcs of what looked like a giant jump rope, were several large green sea turtles, sunning themselves in the morning light. The sea turtles are endangered and people need to stay 25 feet away from them, which is why the ropes are placed in an arc around them when they come ashore. There was also a section roped off more permanently where eggs had been laid, so that people would not inadvertently disturb their nests.
I was so glad that we got to see them with Trinity. She has loved sea turtles for a long time and years ago we “adopted” one for her through the Sea Turtle Conservancy. She named her adopted turtle Merryl, which means “bright as the sea.” Here were Merryl’s distant cousins, three to four feet long and weighing several hundred pounds, slowly pulling themselves up the black sand beach to sun themselves, leaving ridges in the sand leading back to the Pacific.

Overfishing Essay
1117 Words5 Pages
Sage Teachout
Mrs. Hildebrand
English 101
October 16, 2017
Fishing for Answers
Overfishing- to deplete the stock of fish in a body of water by too much fishing. Overfishing can be defined in many way, all of them leading to the same conclusion: Catching too many fish is bad for the environment. Overfishing is an unsustainable use of the oceans. Overfishing occurs because fish are captured at a faster rate than they can reproduce. Also advances in fishing technology and an increased demand for fish has led to overfishing, causing several marine species to become extinct. Despite counter arguments, overfishing is harmful and needs to be stopped because we are depleting our fishing industry, impacting the food web, and creating economical dangers. Without creating stricter regulations, the fishing industry will continue to diminish. Due to advances in technology, fishermen can access places that have never been fished. At first, it was the creation of the simple trawler boat which had a minimal impact on our environment. It was the creation of the factory fishing vessels that have taken over and led to mass amounts of overfishing. These boats use down scan sonar, side imaging, and GPS giving them an unfair advantage over the fish they are after. Using nets that are 50 meters wide and able to hold a weight greater than two medium sized planes, the boats trawl depths of up to 170 km deep. On board, the ships are processing plants. These plants process, package, and serve as

Section 7: Topic 3
Before/after polling
The third approach is more rigorous and relatively time-efficient, but it is expensive. You can commission polling companies to do a sample before and after the media featuring your research goes out. Polling data is typically used to assess changes in understanding and attitudes, but could also be used to assess whether viewers for intentions to act or perform specific actions suggested to them in the content they have engaged with.
There are specialist polling companies that can target the viewers, listeners and readers of specific media outlets or programmes in a highly targeted way. For example, Prof Yamni Nigam from Swansea University had her research on maggot therapy featured in four episodes of the TV soap, Casualty, which has over 4 million weekly viewers. She commissioned a specialist TV polling company to find out what proportion of casualty viewers were aware of maggot therapy and its benefits for treating wounds that were resistant to antibiotics, and the extent to which they viewed maggot therapy as acceptable or disgusting. After the episodes aired, she had evidence of an increase in awareness and understanding of maggot therapy and a reduction in what she called the “yuk factor”. This was important for her, because she had already convinced clinicians to offer maggot therapy on the NHS but uptake by patients was low due to the disgust they felt towards the treatment.
Module 4 - Polling Data.png
Alternatively, you might commission a generalist polling company to obtain a representative sample of the UK population or a particular target audience (e.g. demographic), to see what proportion engaged with the media you put out. For those who engaged with the media in question, you can ask how they responded to it, and for those who did not, you can get the polling company to provide them with the key messages and then probe for their response. For example, Newcastle University designed a before/after poll targeting a representative sample of the UK and German populations after media coverage of their research on the health benefits of organic milk coincided with a spike in organic milk sales across Europe. The polls were designed to be conducted a week after planned media work around research on the benefits of a range of organic foods. Respondents were asked whether they had bought organic food in the previous week, whether they had seen media reports about the health benefits of organic food, and if so, whether they thought these reports had influenced their purchasing decisions. Those who had not seen the media reports were given the key findings in a short summary based on the university press release, and were asked if they would be more likely to buy organic food on the basis of what they had heard. At the same time, sales of organic food were being tracked to see if there was a sales spike. This time, unlike the spike in organic milk sales, it would be possible to infer media coverage of the research as a major factor contributing to the increase in sales.
While polling data might seem like an expensive approach, it may be worth the investment if there is an important enough impact claim that could be proven with the data. However, in addition to the cash, you need to have the foresight to plan your polls well in advance of the media coverage, and this is not always possible.
Listen to Prof Nigam describe how she evidenced impact when Casualty featured her research.

Ikarus ~ Mosaismic
Mosaismic is an angular cityscape wandered through on chilly spring mornings, its buildings vacant and squares ghostly. The geometric intersects with the organic in these spaces, as morning moves through day and people submit to their day’s purpose. Each individual cleaves to their routine path. While these paths may be simple in isolation, zooming out to discern their totality reveals an ecosystem of baffling complexity and hypnotic flow.
It’s not often we review the work of a group with one pure vocalist among their number, let alone two. When we do, the vocals invariable add melodic depth without the distraction of clear lyrics (take Films, for example). What makes Swiss quintet Ikarus stand out is that their two vocalists adopt a wordless delivery more focused on rhythm than melody. This marries with a jazz instrumental trio with hardy rhythmic chops already, making for passages that convulse with polymetered jaggedness while sailing on smooth waves of groove.
With an all-acoustic setup of drums, piano and upright bass, Ikarus construct solid, grounded creations and then cast a range of evocative lights upon them. Deep, cold blues find their place in the set’s first third, as in the icicle notes that commence second track “Ounuamua” or the unsettling meeting of languid piano ostinato with syncopated vocal do’s and dah’s in the spacious “Saiko”. The hues turn warmer as the set develops, but never lost are the sharp edges and jolts that decorate the instrumental and vocal lines – the melodies that end an unexpected semitone lower or higher, the drum and piano lines that squeeze a reliable rest from the bar. On its surface, closer “Cirrus” offers the most calm and warmth of the whole set, but the still water belies an undertow just as mischievous as the rest. Ikarus are wonderfully deceptive, swaddling their aloof welcome with a soft, comforting cloth.
Such is the beauty of this rhythmically intricate yet discreet composition. Like a mosaic, the individual tiles are there to be fawned over by the meticulous, but stepping back into the crowd means can you admire the broader depiction. The concept of a mosaic makes up half the titular portmanteau Mosaismic (the other being ‘seismic’, as in the profound reactions that can result from collisions). It reflects how easily the five members of Ikarus are now fusing together on this, their third LP, while still allowing their individual voices to be heard. Listen to “Aligulin” ~ the vocals dominate the opening passage with a stilted melody of do’s, but in time the bass and piano join, respectively accentuating the awkwardness of the rhythm and providing harmonic warmth that smoothes over those very creases. It’s an intoxicating mixture that in time morphs into an almost danceable passage of scurrying drums and hammered keys, by the end of which the vocals have excused themselves, their salient contribution well served. Fused yet distinct.
The fusion applies to genre as well, with chief composer Ramón Oliveras (the drummer, naturally) as equally drawn to EDM as to jazz and minimalism. The former is most evident in the pounding “Subzero”, based on one of the most perplexing rhythms I’ve heard for a long time ~ and yet still, somehow, danceable. The greatest triumph of Ikarus of that, despite the rigid structures that bind them, these compositions flow. (Chris Redfearn-Murray)

Pigment App Store Screenshot Spotlight
March 28, 2020
An App Store Screenshot is an opportunity to visually present an app while describing its functionality. For apps like Pigment, an adult coloring book app, it is key to show users the patterns and artwork they can make on it. For today’s App Store Spotlight, we look at Pigment’s App Store Screenshots and see how they present the app to its users.
App Store Screenshots
As an adult coloring book app, Pigment relies on its visual elements to drive downloads. The screenshots need to showcase the designs, picture options, color ranges and so forth to show users why they should download it. At the same time, screenshots should include bold callout text that describes the features and benefits. This quickly informs users of what the app provides as they look over the page
Pigment uses the same five screenshots on different device frames on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. These all show the handset against a background with shades of blue that go from light to dark. The lightest section at the top of each image includes callout text that describes a value or feature of the app, which makes the text stand out.
As Pigment uses five screenshots on each store, it has room for another five on the Apple App Store and three more on the Google Play Store. Including extra screenshots could showcase additional designs, art styles and artistic tools to provide further value to users.
The App Store Screenshots used by Pigment do present values that can appeal to users. Two of them show portraits, two show patterns and one is of Belle from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” These demonstrate specific values, such as the mandala patterns presenting a coloring challenge and the “Beauty and the Beast” screenshot showcasing the Disney content.
Each picture is colored with an impressive amount of detail, shading and color work to show what users can potentially create. The Belle image includes additional information at the bottom, proclaiming Pigment’s “exclusive Disney content.”
Each screenshot is accompanied by callout text. These present values such as the stress relief aspects, thousands of pages and frequent updates. These are great value propositions to state, although the text itself is in a small font that does not stand out. Each value proposition also runs a bit long, so users will have to pause and focus on the small text to read it. For instance, the first image calls out “Relieve stress with 5000+ coloring pages,” which is two values in six words on a single image. This could be broken into two images, one focusing on the stress relief and the other on the number of pages it offers.
Competitor Apps
Analyzing the App Store Screenshots of competitors in the adult coloring book market can provide some insight into common practices for these apps. From there, we can see what Pigment does differently or where it follows the common practices.
On the Apple App Store, Taiyasui Color uses the colors for its screenshots differently. As it’s a coloring book app, it shows each page in the process of being colored, rather than the completed image. This makes each colored section pop off the page more, like a bright parrot in a field of white. The callout text is placed closer to the middle of the screen on a multi-colored line, and no line of text is more than four words long.
On Google Play, the Recolor app also focuses on showcasing the artwork users can create, but it provides more variety in the style of the images. For instance, in the screenshot presenting the “4000+ pictures” value, it uses a screenshot from the menu to show a wide selection of picture options. Recolor’s callout text is on the bottom of each screenshot, but each value is 2-3 words long and stands out with large white text.
App Store Screenshots can tell a user much about an app, particularly the visuals and the features. For apps like Pigment and other adult coloring book apps, providing well-designed screenshots can show users what kind of art they can create. Using good callout text is also important for describing the benefits and features of the app. When users search for adult coloring books, or such apps are featured on the App Store, good screenshots can help an app stand out from the competition.

Water Properties
One of the things that renders our earth special is the existence of liquid water. Water is standard for all life; without it eextremely living thing would die.
You are watching: How is a water molecule like a magnet
Water covers around 70% of Earth’s surface and also it provides up 65-75% of our bodies (82% of our blood is water). Even though water might seem boring – no shade, taste, or smell – it has actually amazing properties that make it crucial for supporting life.
(Our require for water and the ocean animals that live in water, is what make oil spills so damaging.)
The chemical complace of water is H2O – two hydrogen atoms and also one oxygen atom. The properties of water are distinct bereason of the means its atoms bond together to create a water molecule, and also the means the molecules communicate via each various other.
Water Polarity
When the 2 hydrogen atoms bond with the oxygen, they affix to the height of the molecule fairly favor Micessential Mousage ears. This molecular structure provides the water molecule polarity, or a lopsided electric charge that attracts various other atoms.
The end of the molecule via the 2 hydrogen atoms is positively charged. The other finish, with the oxygen, is negatively charged. Just like in a magnet, wbelow north poles are attracted to south poles (‘opposites attract’), the positive finish of the water molecule will attach via the negative end of other molecules.
What does this suppose for us? Water’s polarity permits it to disresolve various other polar substances incredibly easily. When a polar substance is put in water, the positive ends of its molecules are attracted to the negative ends of the water molecules, and vice versa. The attractions reason the molecules of the new substance to be mixed uniformly via the water molecules.
Water dissolves more substances than any kind of other liquid – even the strongest acid! Thus, it is frequently called the ‘universal solvent.’ The disresolving power of water is exceptionally vital for life on Planet. Wherever before water goes, it carries dissolved chemicals, minerals, and nutrients that are provided to support living things.
Because of their polarity, water molecules are strongly attracted to one one more, which gives water a high surface tension. The molecules at the surchallenge of the water “stick together” to create a form of ‘skin’ on the water, strong enough to support incredibly light objects. Insects that walk on water are taking benefit of this surconfront tension.
Surchallenge stress and anxiety reasons water to clump in drops fairly than spanalysis out in a thin layer.
It likewise allows water to move through plant roots and also stems, thermometers, and also the smallest blood vessels in your body. As one molecule moves up, it ‘pulls’ the others with it.
Three States of Matter
Water is one of four elements, and the only herbal substance that have the right to exist in all three claims of matter – solid, liquid, and gas – at the temperatures normally found on Planet.
Many kind of other substances need to be super-heated or -cooled to adjust claims.
The gaseous state of water is present continually in our atmosphere as water vapor. The liquid state is discovered almost everywhere in rivers, lakes, and seas.
The solid state of water, ice, is distinct. Many liquids contract as they are cooled, bereason the molecules move slower and also have less power to withstand attraction to each other. When they freeze into solids they develop tightly-packed crystals that are much denser than the liquid was originally.
Water doesn’t act this way. When it freezes, it expands: the molecules line as much as form an extremely ‘open’ crystalline structure that is less dense than liquid water.
This is why ice floats. And it’s a great point it does! If water acted favor a lot of other liquids, lakes and rivers would freeze solid and all life in them would certainly die.
Three Other Properties of Water
Water has actually a high specific warmth. That is, unlike air, water deserve to absorb many warm without transforming temperature. It’s why swimming feels so refreshing on a hot day.
Water additionally loses warmth slower than air. The result is that in summer, lake and ocean water is commonly coldest early on in the seachild and warmest late in the seachild (after many days of soaking up the sun’s energy).

The boiling point of water (212° F or 100°C at sea level) is impacted by altitude. In general, the greater the altitude, the lower the boiling point of water. For instance, in Denver, CO (5,280 ft.), water boils at 202.4° F. On Mount Everemainder in Nepal (29,012 ft.), water boils at 156° F.

Type 03 class submarines (1956)
Chinese PLAN Chinese PLAN (1956-63) - 21(+5) boats
Type 03, the Chinese "Whiskey"
The famous NATO codename was given to the most important serie of submarines post WW2. They were an integral part of the USSR defence policy and represented a mass of 215 modern submarines integrating many of the innovations bring by the fabled German Type XXI. The "Whiskey" (Soviet designation Projekt 613) class was among those proposed to China in an effort to bolster the PLAN, before the Sino-Soviet split of 1960 cut short many further transfers and collaboration works. As part of the initial deal, five of these submarines were to be shipped in China, while parts and equipments, plus advisors were sent to assemble 21 more. These local copies were called "Type 03". Now they are all long retired.
Whiskey III class
USSR submarine transfer history
Before going in the "Whiskey" type, the Chinese PLAN saw a lot of former Soviet vintage units declared surplus and shipped to China circa 1955. These were:
-One M IV coastal submarine (stricken 1963)
-One MII submarine (stricken 1963)
-Four (M200-203) MV coastal submarine (stricken 1963)
-Four Schch class submarine (stricken 1963)
-Four Series IX Stalinetz (S400-403) (stricken 1963).
The coastal submarines were mostly used for training, and gradually until 1963, the others followed. These were all WW2 generation submarines, designed in the early 1930s to late 1930s (like the series IX), ranging from small coastal units to large oceanic ones. That way, the Chinese PLAN could build operating experience on the whole spectrum of submarine warfare. However it was evident that in the mid-1950s the submarine fleet could not compete against American or Japanese submarines operating in the region. They were conceived as a defensive force, delaying enemy efforts before the Soviet-allied Pacific fleet could intervene.
Unidentified Whiskey class
About the "Whiskey" class transfer
About the same time in 1954-58, the Soviet government decided to supply its Chinese ally with the most modern submarine in inventory, the Type Proyekt 613 conventional attack submarines. Commonly named and known as "Whiskey" by NATO. Units were transferred entire, and according to Conway's register, numbered 119-123, 127, 129, 131, 201-207, 221, 241, 243, 244 and 265-267. This total made 21 submarines. They were allegedly in service in 1956, up to 1964, the latter dates corresponding to the boats properly built in China. However there are conflicting sources about exactly known many submarines were transferred versus how many were actually built. If indeed five more submarines were shipped in parts according to Conway's, while wikipedia (no citing a precise source) argues that was the reverse, five transferred entire plus 21 built in China.
Cutaway of a Whiskey I in 1949
Cutaway of a Whiskey I in 1949
According to globalsecurity.org, assembly began in 1953 in Jiangnan and Wuchang shipyards. The first fully built and operational was started in April 1955 (Jiangnan), launched in March 1956 and completed in October 1957. According to Robert Whiston, also 21 boats were assembled in China. According to "The Dragon's Teeth: The Chinese People’s Liberation Army—Its History", the Type 6603 later abbreviated as "Type 03" was part of this 6.4 agreement to give Chinese shipbuilders gradual experience in this type of boat, which went with Soviet expertise, Engineers and naval architects.
In any case, the idea was a transition towards a submarine fully built in China, that was realized later with the Chinese Romeo class. These submarines were assembled in Kiang Chou, Canton, Kiangnan and Shanghai shipyards but most sources argue that was Jiangnan (Shanghai) which started first, followed by Wuchang shipyard. Things gets complicated when counting transfers as five were also transferred to North Korea, but in the 1960s.
Whiskey Type in 1980
Whiskey Type in 1980
Design of the PLAN's Type 6603 submarine
Since the exercise was not to improve on an existing model, but only to gain shipbuilding experience in this type of modern boat, the Type 6603 was a virtual copy of the "Whiskey" and there is no mention of something that stands out in their design to make them properly Chinese. All equipment was indeed supplied from USSR and Soviet naval engineers were there to ensure assembly was made according to original plans. In facts, some authors argue that the 21 Chinese boats were even integrated into the absolute total of Soviet "Whiskey" class submarines -denominated SSG.
The Type 613 was elaborated from 1947 by order of the TTz, and based on the hull of the Type XXI. Development was hold until licence could be obtained for a workable Walter system, however since it was needed fast, Soviet engineers proceeded the same way the Germans did on the Type XXI, by multiplying the electric power almost by three while the rest of the diesel propuslion was rather classic. Unlike the original, they did not had two remotely-operated twin AA guns on both ends of the kiosk, preferring the old school deck gun and a twin AA 25 mm mount in the kiosk's "bathtub". However the Chinese Type 03 omitted these apparently. As specified, the type was able to dive below 200 meters, and had a greater autonomy. However since the transfer occured in 1954, the serie was probably a I, II, III or IV and not the serie V which was a real step forward, despite the fact the licenced Type 04 were built in 1959-63.
The Type 03 are supposed to develop 6800 hp. which was enough for a top speed of 18,25 knots surfaced and 13 knots submerged. These were 1050-1350 tonnes in displacement, measuring 76 x 6.3 x 4.55 m. Armament comprised six 533 mm torpedo tubes, four in the bow ad two in the stern with 12 spare torpedoes while deck armament could have been two 57 mm, and two 25 mm AA on paper.
Whiskey I type
Follow-up: The Type 6613 submarines
During a second stage of operations, in late 1950s, the Chines attempted to design and built their own submarine model, bt apparently without success. Instead, in a third-stage, the 2.4 agreement was signed with USSR in February, 4, 1959, in order to deliver six submarines, and locally built the greatly improved Projekt 6631 NATO "Romeo" class.
Fate of the Type 03 submarines
They were operational from 1961. These submarines could have been deployed during the Sino-Vietnamese war of 1979, but no records are known. However No.418 was sunk 1.12.1959 after a collision with net minelayer Yun Chie.

Alone in his room, Felix is frightened - he imagines he can hear giants gathering on the rooftop. As a wild storm thunders through the night, Felix turns to his trusty torch, creating strong, brave shadow creatures who can keep him company and protect him from the ferocity of the wind and rain.
One by one, frolicking creatures crowd Felix's bedroom. With his shadow friends impatient to play in the night, Felix must decide whether to stay, alone, or venture out shoulder to shoulder with his friends and confront his fears.
From award-winning author Emma Allen and illustrated by Sher Rill Ng comes a story of adventure, imagination and bravery, inspired by traditional shadow puppetry.
Cover design by Stan Lamond
Emma wrote a beautifully poetic story of a young child afraid of the storm, who then conjures up some shadow friends to play with. These friends were to be based on the shadow puppets in the National Library of Australia's collection, and were a perfect starting point for researching how the young protagonist might begin to create and interact with them.

Cardio-Physiology Pt 1: Intro to our body’s Pumping Station
Cardiovascular physiology is primarily focused on getting to know the basic structures of the heart, how these structures work, and what areas are involved in electrical conductivity.
Functions of the Cardiovascular System
Realizing the main functions of the cardiovascular system is necessary for understanding the physiology of the body. With the heart’s intricate pathways of capillaries, arteries, and veins, pumping of oxygen-rich blood, which is one of the primary responsibilities of the cardiovascular system, throughout the body’s entire system is made possible.
Aside from keeping a steady flow of oxygen in the body, the heart and its vessels also perform the following:
• Transport essential nutrients
• Remove metabolic toxins and wastes
• Regulate normal temperature
For more information about how blood flows and distribute oxygen throughout the body, we have prepared a separate video dedicated entirely to that topic. Check it out on our channel.
Hotel Cardiac
Keep in mind that the anatomy portion is different from the electrical part of the heart. So, inside the heart, there are four main chambers, namely:
• Right atrium
• Left atrium
• Right ventricle
• Left ventricle
We explain every single chamber in a song we’ve created titled, Hotel Cardiac. This is basically a spinoff of the popular song, Hotel California. You can also check the lyrics of that song in our channel so it would be easier for you to memorize and recall how the electrical portion of the cardiovascular system works.
The Rooms
Going back to the Hotel Cardiac song, think of the heart as a four-bedroom suite. Let’s identify each room and what their functions are.
1. Atriums
As mentioned, the heart has four rooms or chambers, and at the upper portion, there are the attics or what we call as atriums. Atriums are considered as attics because they are comparably smaller than ventricles. These atriums are the receivers of blood either from the rest of the body or the lungs.
1. Ventricles
Located just below the atriums, the ventricles are the suites of the hearts because they are relatively larger due to their principal objective which is to pump blood to the lungs and out of the heart to the rest of the body. The biggest between the left and right ventricle is the left ventricle which is tasked to pump all the oxygenated blood throughout the various systems. Therefore, if the left ventricle is compromised, the body is doomed.
The Doors
In each of the four bedrooms inside the heart, there are doors which we call valves. These valves are automatic doors that allow blood through the various rooms or suites inside Hotel Cardiac. The sounds, “lub dub,” that are heard when a heart is auscultated are the valves closing.
The Cardiac Gang Sign
The cardiac gang sign, which is just the right hand forming an L like a gun or a loser sign, is a technique that is used to determine the location of the tricuspid and bicuspid valves. By forming an L-shaped figure with your thumb and index finger and closing the rest of the fingers, place the cardiac gang across the chest. Here, you’ll identify that there are two valves at the left side of the heart that is known as the bicuspid valves. On the right side of the heart is where the tricuspid valves are located, which is represented by the three closed fingers.
The Pulmonic and Aortic Valves
The pulmonic and aortic valves create the fundamental sounds that are heard inside the heart. These doors operate through electrical conduction. Currently, the heart is utilizing electricity being transported by the valves.
With that in mind, why is the body not electrocuted? Because the heart is equipped with a zip-lock bag referred to as the pericardium that makes sure electricity flowing inside the heart does not leak to adjacent organs or all over the body.
In part two of our cardiovascular physiology, we will further delve into the process of electrical conduction from one valve and chamber to another. We will tackle the importance of the nodes and branches of the cardiovascular system.

A depraved taste for equality
[Some people] have a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom. I believe that it is easier to establish an absolute and despotic government amongst a people in which the conditions of society are equal, than amongst any other; and I think that, if such a government were once established amongst such a people, it would not only oppress men, but would eventually strip each of them of several of the highest qualities of humanity. Despotism, therefore, appears to me peculiarly to be dreaded in democratic times.

Bullying is a serious issue and can cause serious psychological damage for the victim. But we tend to only hear the victim’s side. There are many reasons why children become bullies but it isn’t always a case of a child being mean or bold. If we can understand why a child is behaving in a certain way, we can teach them the skills they need to behave in a more acceptable manner. If not addressed, their behaviour can continue into adulthood. Children who bully are more likely to get involved in crime, drugs and alcohol as adults.
Here are a few reasons kids bully:
We've all heard the expression that "power corrupts", and this concept applies to children as well. A child might relish a sense of power over another, perhaps because they feel helpless at home where a parent is overbearing; maybe the child is being bullied themselves or they may simply like the feeling of power associated with pushing another kids around. When your peers fear you, they will always respect you, even if they hate you for it.
Unhappy home
If a child comes from a less than warm and loving home, they are more likely to engage in bullying behaviour. If you’re not feeling love at home, you’re going to try to win some love and attention elsewhere. This child will discover that respect and popularity are earned by making fun of others. Their peers will quickly realise that to avoid attack they should pander to the bully and the bully is gratified by a percieved popularity, even though they may not realise that it is not love but fear. Also, children who experience inconsistent of lack of discipline at home are more likely to engage in bullying as well. They simply have never been given clear boundaries and don't know what is acceptable behaviour.
No one is telling them to stop
The victim of bullying often doen’t feel strong enough to stand up to their tormentor. But if responsible adults know or learn about a bullying situation and do nothing about it the bullying will thrive. The bully will learns that his actions have no consequences and the cycle will continue.
Encouragement from peers
Research shows that bullies often have large groups of friends and experience a feeling of support and encouragement from his peers, leading him to think his behaviour is acceptable. What is actually happening is that the social group are in fear of the bully and offer him positive reinforment to his as not to draw wrath.
Feelings of inadequacy
If a child is having trouble at home, is struggling in school or is experiencing other inadequecies in their life, they may try to diffuse these feelings by lashing out someone who they perceive to be weaker than themselves and thereby feel that that there is someone inferior to themselves.

based on the findings from the Sokolova Mogila (1st century AD)
In 1974 an impressive fund was made at the southern Bug: the “The Hawk Grave mound” (Sokolova Mogila) brought a Sarmatian burial of woman 1. Jh.n.d.Z. to light that had not been looted. Therefore, it allowed valuable insights into the appearance and features of a rich Sarmatian woman around the beginning of the Common Era.
Although the majority of the organic materials had passed away in the grave, the leftover finds from the funeral gave witness of a woman who apparently held a high position in society: along rich braids of polished stones and glass beads also gold flakes were found, which once adorned the clothing. Tiny textile remnants show, that the woman was dressed with expensive silk fabric in bright colors. At the lower leg gold thread embroidery remains of textile were detectable, which were previously unknown in the ancient world in this filigree version.
Besides that numberless artifacts were found in the grave; including mirrors, the remains of decorated purses, golden jewelry decorated with stone inlays, many pendants in various forms, vessels, and much more. Due to the rich grave goods and numerous offerings, which the science ascribes to amulets or talisman the finds assemblage of Sokolova Mogila is often addressed in the literature as the grave of a Sarmatian “Priestess”. Whether the woman’s lifetime actually fulfilled priestly functions, must remain in the dark, since this information can not be determined on the archaeological facts. But the scope and inventory of objects give quite to the assumption that it was a person who could have at least met some religious and political function.
Due to the enormous scope of the grave goods we had been limited in the realisation of few details. Especially in the realms of possibilities of extensive gold embroidery on the jacket as well as the numerous, various additions we had to make cuts. Over time, however, we want to expand the presentation to come closer to the level of archaeological template. The entire grave inventory and clothing decor we will never be able to reproduce because of the number of items.

Fanless computers are used extensively in situations where harsh environmental factors such as dust or vibration could easily cause a conventional computer to fail, or in applications where silent operation is important. But why is this technology so suited to such conditions?
A fanless computer doesn’t rely on active cooling using fans, instead heat is dissipated through a heat sync which uses a large surface area to quickly disperse excess heat. This has a number of benefits.
Firstly, because a fanless PC does not rely on drawing air into the enclosure to cool the components, it can be more effectively sealed against environmental contaminants such as dust and moisture. This eliminates the chances of the computer clogging, thereby increasing its reliability significantly.
Secondly, a fanless computer fitted with a solid state drive (SSD) will have no moving parts, further reducing the risk of failure. This also makes the machine particularly resilient to shock and vibration, as solid state components are far more tolerant to such stressors.
Finally, because the PC has no moving parts it will run silently, an important consideration in situations where noise could be an issue.
Fanless PCs are increasing in popularity in many sectors such as defence, aerospace and transportation. For instance, they will often be found in roadside equipment where reliability and tolerance to a range of environmental conditions is of paramount importance.
Steatite offers a range of powerful industrial fanless computers perfectly suited to many applications. Click here to take a look at the range or contact us on 01527 512400 to discuss your requirements in more detail.

What is fopen() and open() in Linux?
LinuxOperating SystemOpen Source
The key difference between the fopen() and the open() function in the Linux operating system is that the open() function is a low-level call, where the fopen() when called simply calls the open() function in the background and it returns a Filepointer directly.
The call to the open() function includes invoking several other functions and the behaviour of the entire process is mentioned below as a reference to understand the open() function better.
Consider the code shown below −
char *tmp = getname(filename);
int fd = get_unused_fd();
fd_install(fd, f);
return fd;
The above code can also be found inside the fs/open.c file on your linux machine.
Now, as we can see there are many functions that gets called from this function, like the first of them is the function named getname() in which we pass the filename as an argument and the code of the getname() function looks something like this −
#define __getname() kmem_cache_alloc(names_cachep, SLAB_KERNEL)
char *getname(const char *filename) {
strncpy_from_user(tmp, filename, PATH_MAX + 1);
return tmp;
The above code can be found inside the fs/namei.c file and its main use is to copy the file name from the user space and pass it to the kernel space. Then after the getname() function we have the get_unused_fd() function which returns us an unused file descriptor, which is nothing but an integer index into a growable list of currently opened files. The code of the get_unused_fd() function looks something like this −
int get_unused_fd(void) {
struct files_struct *files = current->files;
int fd = find_next_zero_bit(files->open_fds, files->max_fdset, files->next_fd);
files->next_fd = fd + 1;
return fd;
Now we have the filp_open() function that has the following implementation −
struct nameidata nd;
open_namei(filename, flags, mode, &nd);
return dentry_open(nd.dentry, nd.mnt, flags);
The above function plays two key roles, first, it uses the filesystem to look up the inode which corresponds to the filename of path that was passed in. Next, if creates a struct file with all the essential information about the inode and then returns the file.
Now, the next function in the call stack is the fd_install() function which can be found in the include/linux/file.h file. It is used to store the information returned by the function filp_open(). The code for the fd_install() function is shown below −
struct files_struct *files = current->files;
files->fd[fd] = file;
Then we have the store() function that stores the struct that was returned from the filp_open() function and then installs that struct into the process’s list of open files.
The next step is to free the allocated block of kernel-controlled memory. Finally, it returns the file descriptor, which can then be passed to other C functions like close(), write(), etc.

Beautiful Palermo
The city was founded by the Phoenicians, but named by the Ancient Greeks as Panormus meaning “always fit for landing in.” Palermo became part of the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire and eventually part of the Byzantine Empire, for over a thousand years. From 827 to 1071 it was under Arab rule during the Emirate of Sicily when it first became a capital. Following the Norman reconquest, Palermo became capital of a new kingdom (from 1130 to 1816), the Kingdom of Sicily. Eventually it would be united with the Kingdom of Naples to form the Two Sicilies until the Italian unification of 1860.
Places to visit:
Palazzo Chiaramonte
Palazzo Abatellis, with the Regional Gallery. It was built at the end of the 15th century for the prefect of the city, Francesco Abatellis. It is a massive though elegant construction, in typical Catalan Gothic style, with Renaissance influences. The Gallery houses an Eleonora of Aragon bust by Francesco Laurana (1471) and the Malvagna Triptych (c. 1510), by Jan Gossaert and the famous Annunziata by Antonello da Messina. The exposition in the museum has been designed by the architect Carlo Scarpa.

Comparative kinetic study for the conversion of lactose and whey permeate powder into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural
Citation: 2021 ASABE Annual International Virtual Meeting 2100747.(doi:10.13031/aim.202100747)
Authors: Surabhi Pandey, Miss, Marie Josee Dumont, Dr., Valerie Orsat, Dr.
Keywords: 5-hydroxymethylfurfural; Lactose; Reaction kinetics; Simulink; Whey permeate
Abstract. The worldwide whey production is estimated at 180-190 x 106 ton/year, out of which only 50% is further processed. The dairy industry is currently dealing with the whey permeate surplus by selling it as dry permeate powder, through incorporation into animal feed, or simply disposing it as waste. However, the disposal of surplus whey requires extensive pretreatments due to its high biological oxygen demand (30 to 50g/L), which incur additional operating costs to the dairy industries. Therefore, this work aimed at converting whey permeate powered residues into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a platform chemical currently being used in several industries including personal care products, lubricants, adsorbents, electronics, photography, batteries, and drug delivery systems. To further gain insights about the HMF formation we have conducted a reaction kinetics study to determine the reaction pathways followed during the conversion. The study showed the influence free amino groups present in whey permeate powder, and how the HMF formation happens through different routes in Lactose.

Football Makes History is an educational project funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. It seeks to help young people explore European history and heritage through the lens of football.
With millions of practitioners, fans and spectators, football is the most popular sport in the world. In our view, the potential to use football history and heritage for social inclusion purposes remains a largely untapped resource.
The responsibility to help unleash the full potential of football history and football heritage rests on many shoulders. There are obstacles across policy areas. To help policy-makers in making the most appropriate decisions they can, we have designed a set of policy and action recommendations.
Do you share our conviction that the diversity of football and football history can help address social exclusion and discrimination? Then sign our Policy Manifesto urging policymakers at all levels to give football history and football heritage the attention it deserves. We believe the way to achieve that is to:
Emphasise and embrace the diversity that exists in football and football history
The diversity of the game and the people who watch and practise it, provide us with a unique opportunity to promote inclusion. All organisations and individuals involved in football and football history should strive to give a voice to those who have so far been left out of popular narratives in football history. Educators, clubs, associations and federations all bear a responsibility to tackle not only the history of success and achievement, but to also look beyond the ‘good stories’ towards people who were excluded or were pioneers in giving the game its current diversity.
Provide teachers more flexibility to include football history in education.
Educators have, in most countries, limited leeway in incorporating new and innovative teaching materials when applying prescribed curricula. Making use of innovative educational activities, including on football history, can as a result be difficult. To counter this, policymakers should embrace the concept of a more open, teacher-led curricula. Allowing teachers to unleash the full potential of their unique knowledge and expertise would be an important step in using football history as a tool to foster social inclusion in classroom settings.
Support football clubs and associations more to better use of their own histories for social inclusion
Football clubs and football associations are often not fully aware of the potential in using their status and heritage in local communities for social inclusion activities. This includes the potential of dealing with local history from the perspective of national football or club history, including players who left their marks on society, iconic events which took place in historically relevant contexts, or reflecting prevalent historical features. This is particularly relevant as clubs and associations can use inspiring and sometimes difficult and challenging stories from their past as a foundation in their work in combatting expressions of discrimination and intolerance in their stadiums.
See football history and heritage as a key popular culture (then and now)
Both the heritage and football worlds should foster cross-sectoral partnerships, including with local communities and the education sector. Just as some football bodies could be more aware of the potential that exists in their role as ‘owners’ of heritage and history, the history, museum and heritage sectors may also not be fully aware of the role football and football history can play in reaching new and varied audiences. Advancing partnerships between traditional custodians of heritage such as museums, the education sector and the world of football could similarly inspire new and engaging educational materials tackling social exclusion through the lens of football history.
Educators should be encouraged to combine their activities with other aspects of popular culture in order to reach broader audiences. History is a pervasive discipline and there is a story to be told about all subject matters. In the same way that sport and history can help address discrimination, policy should encourage the application of other cross-discipline projects, as they can garner the particularities of different disciplines and put them at the service of education in general. The transferability or the combining of activities in local football history for tackling exclusion with other domains of popular culture and other sports should be encouraged.
We believe that football history and heritage is too rarely used as a vehicle for social inclusion – be it in the heritage, education or sport sectors.
Football appeals to millions of Europeans, regardless of their sexual orientation, colour, gender, age, nationality or religion. It is often a defining factor of identities and communities. The rich local cultural heritage of football and its shared history covering the turbulent 20th century offers direct access to addressing past and present diversity.
Do you share our conviction that the diversity of football and football history can help address issues of social exclusion and discrimination? Then support us in giving football history and football heritage the attention it deserves!

Thorlabs Lab Fact: Beamsplitter Package Matters
We present laboratory measurements of the polarization angle, split ratio, and total throughput power of a beam transmitted through Thorlabs plate, cube, and pellicle beamsplitters. While all non-polarizing beamsplitters function similarly, the exact performance is different for different types of beamsplitter. Each type of beamsplitter contains its own advantages and disadvantages compared to other types of beamsplitters. Appropriate choice of beamsplitter is essential to sensitive experimental systems. We present a complete analysis and comparison of optical parameters for three common types of non-polarizing beamsplitters.
For our experiment we used the HRS015 stabilized HeNe as the light source for our investigation. A linear polarizer is used to set the laser beam's polarization axis to 45° in order to provide equal S- and P-polarized light incident on the beamsplitter. The beamsplitter under investigation was then placed in the beampath, and its split beams directed to appropriate detectors. The total power though the optic, polarization states, split ratios, and angle of incidence effects were investigated under this configuration.
The plots below summarize the measured results for all three types of beamsplitters. From these graphs the performance of each optic can be easily compared to one another. The bottom left plot summarizes the results for the total power throughput for each optic. The total power throughput is measured as the fraction of input power. While the plate and pellicle beamsplitters perform rather similarly, the cube shows signs of absorption inside the optic. Additionally, this plot shows the relative insensitivity of throughput power to angle of incidence. The bottom middle graph summarizes the results for the output polarization angle for each optic. The cube shows the most similar polarization angles between the reflected and transmitted beams, with the plate producing the largest difference in polarization between beams. The bottom right plot summarizes the results for the split ratio, as a fraction of input power, for the beamsplitters. Here it can be shown that the plate beamsplitter demonstrates the most ideal for 50/50 power splitting.

How about how beamsplitters are used as beam combiners? How does the side 2 coating come into play with the different types of splitters? How well can they combine two beams of the same wavelength and then two beams of different wavelength?

In a global business environment, no two organizations are the same. While some manage to consistently expand their business footprint, others struggle to up their profits and stay in the game. But why does a particular organization enjoy a better market position than its rivals? How does it sustain a competitive edge in the long run? Porter’s Diamond Model has the answers.
1. What Is Porter’s Diamond Model?
2. The Determinants Of Porter’s Diamond Model
3. Porter’s Diamond Model Example
4. Bring Out The Best
What Is Porter’s Diamond Model?
Porter’s Diamond Model, also known as Porter’s National Competitive Advantage Theory or Porter’s Diamond Theory, is an economic model that aims to understand the factors that give certain nations or groups a competitive advantage over others. It also highlights how governments can significantly catalyze a country’s competitive position in a global environment and suggests ways to improve the same.
Developed by Michael Porter in 1990, the Diamond Model is extensively used by organizations around the world today. It helps them understand why specific businesses enjoy industrial advantages in a particular region and plan a strategy on how to operate in diverse market segments.
The Determinants Of Porter’s Diamond Model
A visual representation of Porter’s Diamond Model takes the form of a diamond. The four points of the diamond represent the four major determinants of Porter’s Diamond Theory. These four determinants are the deciding factors that result in a competitive advantage. Let’s look at each determinant in detail:
1. Firm Strategy, Structure And Rivalry
The first determinant in Porter’s National Competitive Advantage Theory is based on how organizations strategize and structure themselves. Strategy and structure often depend on a combination of economic, social and political factors. These, along with rivalry, decide the competitive position of an organization in the market. Rivalry pushes an organization to better itself in terms of productivity, product quality and efficiency. The more the rivalry, the more is an organization’s urge to differentiate themselves.
2. Demand Conditions
Demand conditions in Porter’s Diamond Model refer to home market demand for a particular product or service. These depend on customer demographics, size of customer segments and their distribution. High demand conditions prompt an organization to constantly improve its product lineup and innovate to be able to gain a competitive edge.
3. Factor Conditions
Factor conditions in the Diamond Model include the various resources that are available to a nation or organization. These can be of two types—basic and advanced. Basic resources include land, natural resources and unskilled labor, while advanced resources involve capital, infrastructure and cutting-edge technology—resources that a nation or organization can develop for themselves. According to Porter, advanced resources play a greater role in establishing competitive advantage compared to basic resources.
4. Related Supporting Industries
Porter’s Diamond Theory says the success of a particular industry depends upon other related industries. Supporting industries can boost an organization’s market position and create competitive advantage through supply chains, exchange of ideas and resources.
Apart from these four primary determinants, the Diamond Framework also includes two additional determinants—government and chance. Governments can influence a country’s international competitiveness through aids, exports/imports and investments. Chance refers to random occurrences that might affect established positions in the market. These are often beyond the control of a nation or organization, and include natural disasters, groundbreaking inventions or sudden shifts in international markets.
Porter’s Diamond Model Example
An international smartphone manufacturer consistently remains a step ahead of the competition with attractive smartphone releases at regular intervals. Let’s analyze its success using the Diamond Model to understand why it enjoys a leading market position:
• Rivalry: The organization faces tremendous competition from the other smartphone giants, which forces it to innovate and improve its product lineup
• Demand conditions: The home demand for smartphones is on the rise, especially with the advent of the pandemic
• Factor conditions: The organization has an excellent pool of skilled employees, state-of-the-art infrastructure and equipment at its disposal
• Related industries: Supporting industries such as component suppliers help the organization expand its product range to gain an edge
This is a Porter’s Diamond Model example. Because the smartphone manufacturer satisfies all the parameters of the Diamond Model, it manages to retain and improve its market position.
Bring Out The Best
Remaining relevant in a rapidly evolving business landscape is crucial to maintaining and enhancing market position. The Michael Porter Diamond Model is essential for any organization looking to expand its business footprint, assess its standing or break into a new territory. Professionals need to know how to use the Diamond Model to their organization’s advantage to scale up business.

A spray-assisted multi-effect distillation system driven by ocean thermocline energy
Qian Chen, Muhammad Burhan, M. Kum Ja, Yong Li, Kim Choon Ng
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
Ocean thermocline energy is a sustainable and reliable heat source for seawater desalination in remote islands that has no access to primary energy. To adapt to the unique features of thermocline energy, i.e., a sensible heat source with a small temperature gradient, we propose a novel desalination system combining the direct-spray technology and multi-effect distillation (MED). The steam generator of a conventional MED is replaced by a tubeless spray evaporator, which eliminates the thermal resistance across the heat transfer surface. The merits of this system, which is named spray-assisted multi-effect distillation (SMED), include reduced internal losses, higher productivity, and smaller heat transfer areas. To quantify the potential of the thermocline-driven SMED system, we firstly conducted a thermodynamic analysis. Comparing with MED, SMED boosts freshwater productivity by 35%, while the pumping power consumption and required heat transfer area are reduced by 58% and 17%, respectively. Based on the thermodynamic performances, the economic potential of SMED is assessed. The SMED system demonstrates significant economic benefits due to the reduced heat transfer area and higher productivity. The optimal cost of freshwater is $1.53/m3, 55% lower than MED under the same operating conditions. The originality and novelty of this study can be summarized as follows: (a) a novel desalination system that maximizes thermocline energy utilization is proposed; (b) a detailed process model is developed and validated for system design and optimization; and (c) a thermo-economic analysis is conducted to maximize the desalination performance. The derived results highlight the thermodynamic and economic potentials of the proposed SMED system, making it a competitive and appealing solution for thermocline desalination.

Coordinate system
Spherical coordinate system, In geometry, a coordinate system in which any point in three-dimensional space is specified by its angle with respect to a polar axis and angle of rotation with respect to a prime meridian on a sphere of a given radius. In spherical coordinates a point is specified by the triplet (r, θ, φ), where r is the point’s distance from the origin (the radius), θ is the angle of rotation from the initial meridian plane, and φ is the angle from the polar axis (analogous to a ray from the origin through the North Pole).

Understanding men’s sexual and emotional needs
Male masturbation frequencies [i] vary significantly, indicating not only a range in responsiveness, but also the different conscious choices men make over how they enjoy their arousal cycle from erection to ejaculation.
Sex is emotional for men because it connects them with lovers, family and society. Male mammals are often solitary creatures. They interact with other males in order to defend territory and with females in order to mate. Men tend not to share their thoughts and feelings as readily as women do. So we say that women are emotional and men are not. Yet men often use aggression (an emotional behaviour) to express anger, frustration and fear.
[i] There are boys who never masturbate. There are boys who masturbate twice or thrice in a lifetime; and there are boys and older youths who masturbate two and three times a day, averaging 20 or more per week throughout periods of some years. (Alfred Kinsey)

Continuous flight auger pile drilling
CFA piles or continuous flight auger piles are a special soil substituting pile type. The borehole wall is supported by the drill cuttings between the auger flights.
First a spiral threaded tube is inserted to the required depth. Thereafter the tube is rotated upwards and at the same time the tube lower end is filled with pumped concrete. The reinforced shell is vibrated into the concrete immediately after the spiral is entirely removed from the borehole. In comparison to conventional drill piles there are no problems with base cleaning. The stability of the drill hole walls is ensured. The surface water level does not sink with pile insertion so neighbouring structures are not damaged.
The piles replacing the soil can be used virtually in all soil types. The given method can be considered as vibration free making it suitable for piling in the immediate vicinity of existing buildings.
Foundation design is considered in the following standards:
EVS-EN 1997-1:2005+NA:2006
"Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design.
Part 1: General Rules";
EVS-EN 1997-2:2007+NA:2008
"Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design.
Part 2: Soil analysis and testing”.
Work is executed according to the following standard:
EVS-EN 1536:2010 + A1:2015"Execution of special geotechnical work - Bored piles".

Here, we use optogenetic circuit mapping in mice to reveal a double dissociation that allows parallel circuits in superficial RSG to process disparate inputs. The anterior thalamus and dorsal subiculum, sources of spatial information, strongly and selectively recruit small low-rheobase (LR) pyramidal cells in RSG. In contrast, neighboring regular-spiking (RS) cells are preferentially controlled by claustral and anterior cingulate inputs, sources of mostly non-spatial information. Precise sublaminar axonal and dendritic arborization within RSG layer 1, in particular, permits this parallel processing. Observed thalamocortical synaptic dynamics enable computational models of LR neurons to compute the speed of head rotation, despite receiving head direction inputs that do not explicitly encode speed. Thus, parallel input streams identify a distinct principal neuronal subtype ideally positioned to support spatial orientation computations in the RSG.

Black immigrants reside in communities that suffer from historical and ongoing structural racism, while facing unique barriers related to the immigrant experience.
by Christina Pardo for Blavity News
Recently, the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise sent shock waves to Haitians across the globe. For many, the assassination of President Moise was another example of a “failed state,” but nothing could be further from the truth.
The people of Haiti continue to suffer the consequences of racism after they fought for independence from France, becoming the first free Black Republic in the Western Hemisphere. What followed was a history of exploitation and neocolonialism resulting in political and economic instability. As a result of a long history of traumatic events, ranging from political instability to natural disasters such as the 2010 earthquake, Haitians and their descendants continue to experience post-traumatic stress.
The shocking assassination of President Moise is the crescendo of nearly 18 months of escalating epidemics of violence and COVID-19, with Haiti being the only country in the Western hemisphere without the readily-available COVID-19 vaccine. While all this occurs, the group with the most significant risk of devastating impact continues to be marginalized and neglected — Haitian mothers.
As a Black Haitian-American OB-GYN, I am clear about the consequences of minimizing women and mothers as we continue to organize and heal. Over the past several years, there has finally been an increased focus on the unacceptable rate at which Black women die from pregnancy complications caused by racism and its manifestations ranging from the impact of chronic stress on individuals, to bias in healthcare settings and differential access to resources. Public health and medicine have yet to fully acknowledge and mitigate how other spheres of oppression — like anti-immigrant rhetoric and violence — contribute to the Black maternal health crisis.
Haitian women and pregnant people continue to pay the ultimate price for this neglect. In New York City where I live, Haitian immigrant mothers have the highest risk of complications in pregnancy than any other group. Infants born to Haitian immigrants have also been shown to have increased risk of infant mortality when compared to most other Black immigrant populations. The unique barriers and contributors include those related to immigration, language/cultural barriers and something not discussed enough — xenophobia.Continue reading

As we saw in our two earlier chapters of perimeter (here and here), finding the perimeter of simple 2D shapes or polygons is simply a matter of adding up the lengths of the sides. Well, now that we also know how to find the perimeter of a circle (called the circumference), we can find the perimeter of composite shapes that involve full circles, or semi circles. The concept is the same, that all perimeters can be found by adding up one side at a time as we travel around the shape (even if the side is circular).
This is a composite shape, made up of a semicircle and a rectangle. Although, we are missing one side of the rectangle and the base of the semicircle as that common line lies inside the shape.
We have the following:
$3$3 straight sides : $2$2 of length $4$4 and $1$1 of length $8.4$8.4
The sum of these lengths = $2\times4+8.4$2×4+8.4 = $16.4$16.4cm
- A semicircle of radius $\frac{8.4}{2}=4.2$8.42=4.2cm.
This length = $\frac{2\pi\times4.2}{2}$2π×4.22 = $4.2\pi$4.2πcm.
In total we could write the perimeter as
$2\times4+8.4+\frac{2\pi\times4.2}{2}$2×4+8.4+2π×4.22 $=$= $16.4+4.2\pi$16.4+4.2π cm
$=$= $29.6$29.6 cm (to $1$1 decimal place)
Units and accuracy
Of course because perimeter is a measure of length, we need to make sure we use any units we are given. Remember from our chapter on units of length, that common units for lengths are millimetres (mm), centimetres (cm), metres (m) and kilometres (km).
All of these could be used to measure the perimeter of different sized objects. Millimetres could be used to measure the perimeter of a sim card, centimetres to measure the perimeter of a wallet, metres to measure the perimeter of a room and kilometres to measure the perimeter of a town.
It is also good mathematical practice to use the word 'units', if no particular unit for the context or question is given.
Another good practice is to perform all calculations that involve $\pi$π at the end - this reduces errors compounding throughout the calculation.
Worked Examples

Find the perimeter of the shape (shaded) shown.
1. Give your answer correct to $2$2 decimal places.

Depletable Resources Homework Help
Depletable Resources Homework Help –Get Fast, Easy Assistance from Competitive Tutors
Do you need homework assistance for your Depletable Resources project? Our experts at are with many years of industry experience and can offer you the best depletable resources homework help services.
What Is the Meaning of Depletable Resources?
Depletable Resources means non renewable resource in general terms. In Economic theory, it can be used to refer to fine resources that can easily run out. Wood, coal, and oil are some of the common depletable resources.
Some of the depletable resources tend to be potentially renewable. However, if consumed faster than the pace of replenishment, these can turn into depletable resources. For instance, fishing was sustainable in the North Sea for many years. But the stocks of fish began to drop with commercial fishing activities in the area. Thus, fishes turned into a depletable resource.
Similarly, a lot of natural resources – such as water – are becoming depletable resources due to Global Warming. At one time, water was available aplenty. Today, it is often in low supply in many areas.
At, our educators can help you to get an in-depth understanding of the project. We can offer you fast and effective depletable resources assignment help services, which can easily solve your questions about the project. You can also get skilled tutors to offer you complete writing assistance.
What is its Significance?
Depletable Resources is a challenging and important concept from the economic perspective. It can be a challenge for an economist to study the depletion of resources and its effect on the economy. A look at the growing population is enough to make one understand that it is important to manage depletable resources with care, and absolute control.
It is important to grow and use such resources in a responsible manner, without causing much damage to the environment. Higher production of these resources is a necessity for a growing world population. Mismanagement of depletable resources, such as energy, can throw the market off balance and make the economy spiral out of control. Within a particular firm, even money can be a depletable resource.
If you are having problems in understanding this concept and all its sub-topics, our experts can help you to comprehend the same. You can get 24/7 assistance, and complete solutions related to your project. You can get solutions according to the preferred standard and format.

WHO reaches ivermectin recommendation without a vote
WHO reaches ivermectin recommendation without a vote
By Peter Yim
WHO updated “Therapeutics and COVID-19” on March 31, 2021 to include a recommendation on ivermectin. The recommendation was:
The recommendation was made by the Guideline Development Group; 63 members consisting of “content experts, clinicians, patients, ethicists and methodologists”.
WHO explained that a vote on the recommendation was not necessary:
“While a priori voting rules informed procedures if the panel failed to reach consensus, these procedures proved unnecessary for this recommendation.”
Two questions:
Was there an “a priori” system in place for deciding when and how to abandon the “a priori” voting rules?How was consensus determined?Is it too late to take a vote?
WHO explained how they reached their “transparent and trustworthy recommendations”. They need to understand that bypassing a vote on the recommendation is the opposite of transparent and trustworthy.

Annualized Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE)
The thermal efficiency measurement of combustion equipment, such as your furnace or water heater, is referred to as annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE). Pronounced ‘A’-‘Few’ is different than the true thermal efficiency as it is a measurement of season-long, average efficiency as opposed to a steady-state, peak measurement.

To "come on like gangbusters" is a reference to the old radio show of the same name "Gangbusters". It was an early law enforcement cops and robbers type show.It made a try on TV, as did many radio shows. but did not last too long - just a few seasons. The opening sound bite of the show was the sound of tramping feet, as if an army were marching into your living room, followed by the sound of police vehicle sirens.( The TV version included a closeup of marching feet, followed by a fleet of cop cars driving out a garage, with lights blazing and sirens wailing.) The sound image was that of a whole army of police converging on the scene to get the criminal. So, "like gangbusters" means to go all out with maximum force to accomplish one's goal.
