How are limps treated in dogs and cats?
The treatment of limping in dogs and cats will depend upon the degree and severity of the limping, as well as the underlying cause found through careful diagnostic testing. Treatment may include antibiotics for tick-borne or infectious causes of limping. Splinting and/or pinning and plating may be needed in fracture cases. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents including prescription medications such as Rimadyl, Metacam or Quellin may be used successfully in many cases. Newer pain medications including Gabapentin, or Amantadine are being increasingly utilized by veterinarians as add-on drugs in pets who are limping and/or experiencing pain.
Are there supplements & homeopathic remedies to help pets that are limping?

This is the most fabulous state park with tropical foliage, exciting wildlife, plenty of outdoor activities and campgrounds. Once a week there’s even a highly-recommended farmers market. Visitors rave about this historic site … even more so when they realise that it has a very curious history.
The place was once the site of a commune. A sect called Koreshan Unity began in New York in the 1870 and in 1894 its founder, Cyrys Teed, banded together his followers and founded the commune in Florida.
The sect members had some radical beliefs including celibacy, reincarnation, communism, alchemy – and some rather odd ideas about how the world and the universe are structured. Another was that Cyrus Teed was immortal.
However, this theory was debunked in 1906 when Teed was involved in an ‘altercation’ in Fort Myers and was badly beaten up – so much so that he later died of his injuries.
His followers fully expected that he would rise again and to this end, they kept a vigil over his body and refused to have it buried until the authorities took matters in hand and insisted on a burial for sanitary reasons.
The commune’s land was eventually deeded to the local authorities and now forms the state park with all its natural sights, scenery and outdoor activities.

• Pick a format. For example, give each side a certain amount of time (say, 10 minutes) to present its ideas. Then each side gets a chance to rebut the other’s suggestions. The audience decides the winner—or can take ideas from both sides. Have white boards or large notepads on hand to capture main points.
• Pick advocates carefully. Choose subject matter experts—or employees who need practice in research and persuasion. Explain the format you’ve chosen, and give them enough time to prepare—the more complicated the topic, the longer they’ll need.
• Be a good moderator. Present the issue to the audience, introduce the debaters, and keep the candidates within their time limits. Encourage questions from the audience, so that each side’s ideas are fully understood and discussed. If disputes break out, remind all that they are in fact on the same team and have the same goal—reaching a good decision together.

Although the crisis of the relationship between man and the world of nature on the scale observable today first began in the West where modernism was born, it is now global and demands an inquiry beyond the borders of the Western tradition and the history of the attack against that tradition in modern times. Any inquiry into the question of the relation between religion and the order of nature, one that wishes to address the crucial issues emanating from the present-day environmental crisis, needs to cross the frontiers of various spiritual universes and journey from the Heaven and Earth of a single human collectivity to the many Heavens and Earths of the several “humanities” constituting present-day global humanity as such. To understand the relation of religion to the order of nature on a global scale, rather than from the perspective of a single tradition, it is necessary to understand the meaning of the order of nature or the “Earth” in the context of various religions.

The four engine Lancaster bomber was the backbone of the RAF bomber offensive, flying 40% of all sorties during the war.
Its extremely powerful engines allowed it to carry bomb loads of up to 22,000 lbs (10,000 kgs) – far more than any other bomber used during the war. Its seven person crew consisted of a pilot, flight engineer, navigator, wireless operator, bomb aimer, mid-upper gunner and rear gunner.
A twin engine bomber with a six person crew, that carried out much of the RAF's night bombing offensive early in the war, until the heavy four engine bombers were introduced.
Was killed on a mission – Burton was a popular beer in wartime Britain, and at the time, had an advertising campaign showing different incomplete jobs, with no one working on them – for example, a partially painted wall, with a ladder, paint can and brush, and no painter. The caption read: “Went for a Burton”. Airmen used this term to describe crews that had gone on a mission, and not returned.

Asbestos Survey, What does it involve?
Using our own in house Asbestos testing lab, an asbestos survey is an effective way to help manage asbestos in a premises by providing accurate information about the location, condition, quantity and type of any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). This allows for the management or safe removal of asbestos to ensure safety for anyone at risk of exposure.
In addition to being a statutory requirement to manage Asbestos in non-domestic premises built before the year 2000, there is also a requirement to undertake Asbestos refurbishment and demolition surveys in all property types which were constructed before the year 2000 to ensure hidden asbestos does not cause a risk to tradespeople or occupants as part of the project.

History of Herbal medicine starts with the history of humankind. It probably is the oldest Falk medicine, which has been used by ancient civilizations, Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, Romans. For centuries Herbal medicine was passed verbally to the next generation until Samuel Thomson and Albert Coffin in the 18th century started to document that ancient wisdom.
Herbal Medicine uses plants or parts of the plants. Herbal treatment uses leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds and roots. It is especially effective when the symptoms appear in the early stages of the development. However the healing process is lengthy and may not suit in the emergencies.
Like other Falk remedies Herbs assist the healing process. Studies suggest that patients who adopt herbal medicine treatments reduce their dependency on drugs.
As preventative medicine, herbs succeed to help eliminate toxins from the body, maintain healthy colon, aid digestion. There are many herbal supplements. The herb based capsules, Colosan, is a great aid to healthful living.
Why like Coloson in particular? The obvious reason is it helps to eliminate built up toxins in the body, which is root of many illnesses. You can read more by clicking this link.
If you recognize following symptoms below then Herbal medicine could help you to your journey of recovery.
• Do you have a tendency to catch flue and bugs easily?
• Have high blood pressure?
• Dry skin, hot flushes.

Let's look at how it's put together.
First of all the beginning and end of the procedure are marked with capitalised keywords. This helps readers pick it out from the surrounding code.
The procedure is given a name. In this case, "print_name" is its name.
The procedure needs two pieces of information to work. In this case, FirstName and SecondName. We list the information given to the procedure in brackets after the name. These bits of information are called parameters. Procedures can have any number of parameters, depending on what you need them to do.
The code that the procedure will be repeating is put between the start and end of the PROCEDURE keywords. It's indented, to ensure that readers can make out the structure of the code.

Slide the blocks around inside the frame until you can get the large black block out through the opening.
The object is to be able to slide the large black block to the opening.... BUT - nothing is to slide through the opening except the large black block. CLUES - place the black blocks on the marked positions; place all other blocks inside the frame with all other rectangular blocks vertical.
The puzzle will ALWAYS be possible with the tan rectangular blocks are vertical. Where you place them will determine how many moves it will take to solve. As the puzzle is shown in the photograph it will take at least 68 moves to solve.
There is a way to get the puzzle out in 35 moves... see if you can find this starting position... But, don't just stop there, there are hours of relaxing fun in the numerous different combinations.
J. H. Flemming patented the popular sliding block puzzle called Dad's Puzzle in 1932 in England although it may have been known earlier than this in France as the L'Ane Rouge. Variations of this puzzle then became very popular in Japan during WWII; one called "Daughter in a Box" and another called "Break Through the Enemy's Defences" were made for civilians to pass the time in air raid shelters. The puzzle is still popular now with a widely known computer version said to be based on the ancient Polish children's game of manipulating blocks called klotski or klocki.

What causes genocide? Why do some stand by, doing nothing, while others risk their lives to help the persecuted? Ethics in an Age of Terror and Genocide analyzes riveting interviews with bystanders, Nazi supporters, and rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust to lay bare critical psychological forces operating during genocide. Monroe's insightful examination of these moving--and disturbing--interviews underscores the significance of identity for moral choice.
Monroe finds that self-image and identity--especially the sense of self in relation to others--determine and delineate our choice options, not just morally but cognitively. She introduces the concept of moral salience to explain how we establish a critical psychological relationship with others, classifying individuals in need as "people just like us" or reducing them to strangers perceived as different, threatening, or even beyond the boundaries of our concern. Monroe explicates the psychological dehumanization that is a prerequisite for genocide and uses her knowledge of human behavior during the Holocaust to develop a broader theory of moral choice, one applicable to other forms of ethnic, religious, racial, and sectarian prejudice, aggression, and violence. Her book fills a long-standing void in ethics and suggests that identity is more fundamental than reasoning in our treatment of others.

The first ever picture of an exoplanet was taken 11 years ago–but no one noticed. Now, in a new study, astronomers have subtracted the starlight from an image taken by the Hubble in 1998, and found the exoplanet by its dim infrared glow. While some exoplanets were detected before 1998, they were discovered indirectly by observing their influence on their parent stars; this was was seen directly.
The new technique has excited researchers wondering how many more new planets can be found in old, archived data. “They’ve dug up old Hubble images and found a planet! Crazy!” Geoff Marcy, an astronomer at the University of California, Berkeley, commented by email. “This will spawn a wild race by astronomers everywhere in the world to dig out their old Hubble images to hunt for planets lost in the rubble of the Hubble” [National Geographic News].
Last year, a group of researchers found a trio of gas giants around the star HR8799, which is about 130 light-years from Earth. Alerted that another group of planet-hunting astronomers had used the Hubble camera in 1998 to image the same star but had come up empty-handed, [the research team] reanalyzed the 11-year-old Hubble images of HR 8799. After subtracting the scattered starlight estimated from the new model, the astronomers recovered the outermost of the trio of planets recently imaged [Science News].
The newly discovered image, which will be published in an upcoming Astrophysical Journal Letters, also revealed some new information about the exoplanet’s physical characteristics. It shows that “the planet seems to be only partially cloud covered and we could be detecting the absorption of water vapor in the atmosphere” [USA Today], says study coauthor Travis Barman.
100 years ago, no one would have believed you if you went around talking about discovering extra-solar planets. You might just be thrown out on your ear for saying “extra-solar.” Now, who doesn’t talk about planets around other stars?

Let us consider the earth to be spherical mass of ‘M’ and radius ‘R’. A body of mass ‘m’ is placed initially on the surface and finally taken x distance deep into the earth.
This expression shows that acceleration due to gravity decreases as we go deep into the earth.
At the centre of earth x=R, so g’=0. Hence, the acceleration due to gravity at the centre of earth is zero (0).

The artificial heart, a synthetic replacement for an organic mammalian heart (usually human), remains one of the long-sought Holy Grails of modern medicine. Although the heart is conceptually a simple organ (basically a muscle that functions as a pump), it embodies complex subtleties that defy straightforward emulation using synthetic materials and power supplies. The obvious benefit is to lower the demand for heart transplants, which (as it is for all organs) always greatly exceeds supply.
Early attempts prior to Robert Jarvik with his Jarvik-7 were disappointing; hosts died within hours or days and/or suffered massive foreign-body rejection problems. Jarvik's designs were more impressive but his patients succumbed as well, his first Jarvik-7 patient 61-year-old retired dentist Barney Clark survived for 112 days after it was implanted at the University of Utah on December 2, 1982. Another problem is that an artificial heart requires an external power supply such as a battery pack worn on the patient's waist; no design so far has been able to use the body's own natural biological energy.
Most doctors are confident that with increased understanding of the heart and continuing improvements in prosthetics engineering, computer science, electronics, battery technology, fuel cells, etc. that the artificial heart will be a reality sometime in the 21st century.

During the biomolecular interaction process the instrument is filming and grabbing the images of the sensor surface in order to determine the SPR minimum. An SPR reflectivity image can be taken to position regions of interests (RoI) and to inspect the quality of the sensor surface. A sensor surface area of 6.6 by 8.8 mm is imaged. The sensitivity of the IBIS-MX96 is 0.5 RU as determined by root mean square deviation (sensitivity depends on instrument settings and experimental setup).
In fixed-angle instruments, the applicable range is limited and spot-to-spot sensitivity differ considerably when ligand or analyte panels having different molecular weights are to be monitored. The use of only one fixed incident light angle is therefore not suitable for the monitoring of multiple biomolecular interactions in parallel on a microarray. The scanning angle principle used in the IBIS MX96 overcomes spot to spot sensitivity problems and linearity issues.

A unitary authority in northwest England has deployed a digital CCTV video enforcement system to control traffic and parking infringements on the first ‘red route’ to be authorized outside of a major city in the UK.
Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council has installed high-tech CCTV cameras from Videalert to tackle dangerous parking at a key route into the town. Cameras have been installed on the A678 at Copy Nook on the Furthergate Link Road, a route that has been widened under the Pennine Reach Scheme to improve the flow of buses and traffic between Hyndburn, Blackburn and Darwen. The cameras have been sited on the red route that was introduced in September 2017, to enforce ‘no stopping or loading’ in the designated area. This is the first time that these powers have been used outside London, Birmingham and Edinburgh.
First introduced in London in 1991, red routes are major roads on which vehicles are not permitted to stop. The prohibition extends to stopping for loading or unloading, and to boarding or alighting from a vehicle, with the exception of buses, licensed taxis and the holders of blue badges (disabled or elderly drivers). Red routes are clearly marked with red lines at the sides of the road and are mainly used on major bus and commuting routes, creating urban ‘clearways’.
The Council hopes that the Videalert platform will deliver this enforcement at a significantly lower infrastructure and communications cost than other solutions, as it uses a single lamp post-mounted processor equipped with a single 4G cellular SIM to support up to four cameras simultaneously. The cameras will monitor and enforce the full extent of parking and potential moving traffic contraventions on the red route. The Council is now in the process of identifying other locations in the district, including a number of local schools and hospitals, where a similar configuration of cameras could be used to enforce multiple moving and static traffic contraventions.

Architect Mike Reynolds is in Puerto Rico giving a tour of an Earthship Villa project currently under construction. It’s composed of multiple rooms that are each tiny house sized. Like all Earthships these homes make their own water, power, and are completely independent of the grid. The walls are made from used tires filled with compacted dirt and in this example the roofs are ferrocement domes. Learn more about this novel construction method at Earthship Biotecture.
Video and image by Earthship Biotecture. The earth ship will be used as a community center to bring this community together. Learn more about Taina Soy Apiario, the organization partnering with Earthship Biotecture on this project.

In this post we will show you what is the difference between fork, spawn and exec in Nodejs.In Nodejs it is possible to stream data through a child's stdin, stdout and stderr in a fully non-bloking way.
We can create a child process using require ('child_process').spawn() or require('child_process').fork() or require('child_process').exec(). So, you might ask that then whats the difference between these processes.
require('child_process').spawn() starts sending back data from the child process in a stream as soon as the child process starts executing. When you run this command, it send a system command that will run on its own process rather than executing code within your node process. In this no new V8 instance will be created and only one copy of the node module will be active on the processor. It is used when you want the child process to return large amount of data to Node.
require('child_process').fork() is a special instance of spawn thats runs a new instance of the V8 engine. Which actually means you are creating multiple workers running on the same Node code base for different task.
require('child_process').exec() returns a buffer from the child process. The default buffer size is 200k. It is asynchronous, but it waits for the child process to end and tries to return all the buffered data at once. If your return data from the child process is greater than 200k then you will get maxBuffer exceeded.
How about if spawn a node process? also no new V8 instance will be created?

Artaxia I was the founder of the Artaxiad Dynasty whose members ruled the Kingdom of Armenia for nearly two centuries.
Artaxias was originally appointed strategos of Armenia by Seleucid King Antiochus the Great, but following his monarch's defeat by the Romans at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC, Artaxias and his co-strategos Zariadres revolted and, with Roman consent, began to reign autonomously with the title of king; Artaxias over Greater Armenia and Zariadres over Sophene/Lesser Armenia.
Artaxias was married to Satenik, daughter of the king of Alans. They had six sons: Artavasdes (Artavazd), Vruyr, Mazhan, Zariadres (Zareh), Tiran and Tigranes (Tigran). He was succeeded by Artavasdes.

How do contemporary technologies large and small — from smartphone cameras to artificial intelligence — change the way that architects view and understand the world around them? During SCI-Arc’s Beijing workshops this summer, the students of Tsinghua University spent three weeks exploring these new territories.
He designed the workshop as an exploration into what new aesthetics that architects and AI might be capable of producing together. The students constructed 360-degree, 3D cloud-point scans of an object using photogrammetry and structured light sensors. They then moved onto the basics of more advanced technologies, writing their own intelligent agent-based algorithms to that would transform and distort their 3D images to produce something totally new.
Much like in Rehm’s workshop, Diaz-Granados’s students were making 360-degree views, but where Rehm was concerned with the practical applications of a still-emerging technology, Diaz-Granados took a decidedly more abstract track.
“I had students take Photospheres in distinct spaces that were either intimate or densely populated,” Diaz-Granados explains, referring to a Google phone feature that can stitch individual photographs into a single 360-degree view. The students combined these global perspectives with manipulated audio samples that they had recorded in the area to create a multimedia flythrough.
As for seeing the world in a new way, the Beijing Workshops themselves offered much of the same benefits.

This is a timely announcement for a local high school which is running a poetry contest of its own right now!
This a trailer for her new book Secret Keeper .
Are you ready to Rock the Drop?
Today is Math TAKS Day in Texas for 5th grade.
Hopefully our students will not work their problems this way.
I spent the last three days in the company of men and women who strive daily to make information and literature available to the widest audience possible. Librarians seek to expand their patrons' horizons and supply materials and resources for them in all their endeavors. The Texas Library Association has been supporting these efforts since 1902.
The TLA exhibit hall was full of companies offering online information resources, foreign language instruction packages, library management software and library furnishings. Publishers display new fiction and nonfiction titles while authors sign books and maintain cheerful smiles for fans who queue for their few moments of face time. Apparel vendors supply garments and jewelry that promote reading and librarians in sparkling rhinstones, applique or embroidery.
Gifted storytellers, musicians, authors, illustrators discuss their work in presentations that were thoughtfully prepared and shared.
I've been attending TLA for well over a decade now (good gad!) and the opportunity to visit with other librarians and connect with old friends and acquaintances is utterly refreshing and revitalizing.
Unlike a grade level teacher, school librarians are often "lone rangers" on their campus. They must constantly add new content and new lessons to their programs. Some projects repeat from year to year but there are always new stories to share and new technologies to add their students' information skills.
I know budgets are tight and schedules are full but I find the benefits of attending this conference are worth sacrifices. It contributes to my growth as a professional and to my sense of belonging to a community that is truly committed to a noble purpose.

The sinking of the steamer Brother Jonathan in 1865 just north of Crescent City, Calif., resulted in a change of steamship shipping laws and the construction of the St. George Reef Lighthouse, one of the most costly and dangerous lighthouses in the United States.
More than 250 passengers and crew were aboard the steamer when it crashed into a rock just north of Crescent City. Only 19 survived.
Two years later a decision was made to build a lighthouse on the Saint George Reef, also known as the “Dragon Rocks.” It took years of studies to determine the best site and many more years to build it on Seal Rock at a cost of $704,000. It opened in 1891 and closed in 1975. Five keepers lost their lives on duty there.
The Saint George Reef Lighthouse Preservation Society has been making repairs for several years and plans to open the site for tours this fall. Between November and April, helicopters will daily carry visitors six miles offshore to the historic lighthouse.

Schneider Electric has announced that energy efficiency innovations are enabling the UAE’s $72 billion worth of energy investments during the recent Innovation Day Dubai.
Boosted by the UAE Energy Strategy, which aims to generate 50 percent of its energy from clean energy, and the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy, which aims to generate 75 percent of energy requirements from clean sources by 2050, the UAE hosts $72 billion worth of energy investment to 2022, according to a recent report by the Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation (APICORP).
Schneider Electric highlighted that energy efficiency is a major investment point for every step in the energy process – from energy generation in power plants, to Smart Cities with connected grids for energy transmission, down to monitoring and repairing electrical infrastructure in individual buildings.
“As the UAE and the Arabian Gulf become more urbanised, digitised, and industrialised, energy efficiency can ensure safe, reliable, and connected energy to organisations and people,” explained Darwish.
One of the UAE’s largest engineering, procurement, and construction companies, the Abu Dhabi-based NPCC, digitally transformed its facilities with the EcoStruxure Power architecture, and the Power Monitoring Expert system, and smart meters.
NPCC can identify areas where the company needs to take action to optimise its energy consumption, and reduce its electricity spend. NPCC gains real-time operational insights, with immediate alerts on disturbances, and can solve problems with ease and speed – saving time and money.
Dubai-based Al Rawabi Dairy digitally transformed its energy systems with the Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Power architecture and Power Monitoring Expert system. Al Rawabi Dairy can monitor and troubleshoot power problems from quality power meters.
This system helped Al Rawabi Dairy to enhance control over energy consumption, and also to reduce sophisticated electronic system failures. Al Rawabi Dairy is satisfied with the energy system and plans to install it in additional locations in the upcoming year.

Child abuse is a serious problem, and when your child has autism, the stakes are even higher. Children with autism may have difficulty communicating with parents or other adults about incidents of abuse. They also may have difficulty recognizing that a certain form of interaction is not acceptable, and even think that the perpetrator is their friend. Many of the common signs parents look for may be more difficult to spot in a child who already exhibits repetitive behaviors and withdrawn social interactions.
The news is filled with disturbing stories of abuse towards children and adults with autism. A woman in Sweetwater, Florida was arrested on charges of locking her adult son in bare room containing only a mattress, with no access to food, water or toilet facilities for hours on end. The parents of a 10 year old boy in Cherry Hill New Jersey were shocked to hear verbal abuse and explicit talk about drinking and sexual activity from their son’s teacher and classroom aides after sending him to school with a hidden microphone. A teenage boy is strapped to a table and shocked with electricity over 31 times at a school in Massachusetts.
As parents, we want to protect our children, and we want to trust the professionals who we depend on to help them get the best education and services possible. Most of these people are kind, wonderful folks who truly want to see these children grow and develop, but there are some bad apples in the bunch. What are the red flags parents can look for, to help their child, especially when your child is unable to communicate what is happening?
Many of these symptoms can be explained by things other than child abuse, but if you notice sudden changes in your child’s personality, that can’t be explained by something like an illness or other difficulties at home, you may want to investigate. If your child is coming home from school with unexplained bruises or marks, or suddenly develops an aversion to going to school, there may be something going on .

A UK group called Extinction Rebellion is planning a campaign of mass civil disobedience to address ecological disaster. The group, backed by nearly 100 senior academics and prominent figures from throughout the UK, issued a letter in The Guardian calling for "low level and higher risk acts of civil disobedience". The actions include the convening of a citizens assembly, drafting a manifesto for change and a new constitution, and reducing UK carbon emissions to zero by 2025. The movement is endorsed by prominent figures including the former archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams and US senator Bernie Sanders.
Planners of the demonstrations say that upwards of 500 supporters have signed up to be arrested, and that the group intends to culminate the display of civil disobedience with a sit-in protest at parliament square on 17 November. Already, the Guardian reports, 15 environmental protesters, who blocked the roads outside the Houses of Parliament as part of the movement, have been arrested.
With prominent figures as signatories and supporters, it appears that Extinction Rebellion has gained enough media and social focus to bring attention to their actions and demands. What remains to be seen is how many of the general public will appear at the demonstrations and what, if any, effect will result. Will a group of government officials, scientists, and citizens be convened to “...urgently develop a credible plan for rapid total decarbonization of the economy,” as Extinction Rebellion hopes? Or if this “citizens assembly” is not convened, will the social contract between citizen and government be broken as Extinction Rebellion claims? What other potential outcomes might there be from the demonstrations?
Is this a signal of a rising appetite for climate-related conflict? Where else in the world are acts of rebellion emerging?
In September 2018, three activists were jailed in the UK for an anti-fracking protest. How might the UK government and others respond to rising acts of rebellion?

Ottawa (27 April 2011) – A new survey from Statistics Canada suggests that 34 percent of retired individuals aged 55 and over, whether single or in a couple, held mortgage or consumer debt. The median amount owed by these individuals was $19,000.
The incidence of debt was much higher among those in the same age group who had not yet retired. Among pre-retirees aged 55 and over, two-thirds held mortgage or consumer debt and their median debt load was $40,000, double that of retirees.
Among retired people with debt, 25 percent owed less than $5,000, 32 percent owed between $5,000 and $24,999, while 26 percent owed between $25,000 and $99,999. At the high end of the debt scale, 17 percent owed $100,000 or more.
Retirees who owned homes or who had higher household income, higher levels of education and better financial knowledge were most likely to hold debt.
On the other hand, these same groups tended to have solid finances. Home ownership, income and education were all associated with higher levels of net worth and lower debt-to-asset ratios.
Divorced people (43 percent) who were retired had the highest incidence of debt. They were followed by people in a couple (35 percent), those who never married (30 percent) and widows or widowers (28 percent). Also, divorced retirees had the lowest annual median income and net worth, compared with all other groups.
Older retirees were significantly less likely to have outstanding debt. Just under one-half (48 percent) of retirees aged 55 to 64 had some form of debt, compared with 20 percent of retirees aged 75 and over.
The majority of retirees reported that their finances were what they had expected them to be prior to retirement. They also reported that their income was sufficient to cover expenses and that they were able to stay on top of bills and keep up with their financial commitments.

This opera was completed in 1875 and is based on the story of the same name by Prosper Mérimée. When Carmen was first staged in Paris, the plot was considered indecent and the characters vulgar. Bizet shocked those watching by putting people from the audience on stage. At the premiere the opera was booed and the critics gave it a unanimous thumbs-down. Today Carmen is Bizet’s most famous work and, especially due to its music, one of the most widely staged operas in the world.
At the Theatre Union’s annual award ceremony, the Natalie Mei Award is given to recognise a high calibre of musical production. The award recipient in 2016 is Maarja Meeru for using distinctive colour schemes to create an integral artistic vision based on large-scale stage visual and characteristic costumes in Georges Bizet’s opera Carmen.
Cast Alexandra Kovalevitsh (Opera Theatre Helikon, Moscow), Boldizsár László (Hungary), Luc Robert (NO Estonia), Jānis Apeinis (Latvian National Opera), Jevgeni Chrebtov (Lithuanian National Opera), Diana Higbee (France), Märt Jakobson, Karmen Puis, Pirjo Jonas or Sigrid Mutso, Taavi Tampuu, Simo Breede, Rasmus Kull, Jaan Willem Sibul, Dina Sõritsa et al.

The quality or smoothness of a surfaces greatly influences the look and in some cases functionality of a product.
In this section we will explain the basic concepts related to the quality of surfaces and elaborate the terms like "radius of curvature" and "curvature continuity" . We will also learn to use the tools offered by Creo Parametric to analyze the surfaces.
Most of the surfaces are built around datum curves. So quality of surface directly depends upon the quality of curves.
Understand the difference between curvature continuous and discontinuous curves.
Modify it a curve make it curvature continuous.
The quality of a surface is determined by the quality of individual surface patches and their connection with each other. A surface analysis is usually performed after curve analysis to check the quality of the surface.
Analyze a quilt with Dihedral Angle tool to determine the level of tangency.
Analyze a surface to determine if it has sufficient draft by using Draft Check tool.
Surfaces with singularities are considered to be of poor quality and make the offset, thicken or shell operation very difficult. Furthermore surfaces with singularities are unstable during regeneration.
In this section, we will build two surface models elaborating how to avoid the singularity problems.

According to the latest statistics on the issue, there were 425 Israeli occupation settlements and military bases in the West Bank (including 150 settlements and 107 outposts) by the end of 2016. Data indicated that the total number of settlers in the West Bank was 636,452 by the end of 2016, 302,188 (47.5%), of them lived in Al-Quds Governorate, including 222,325 of them lived in Jerusalem J1 (those parts of Al-Quds which were annexed by Israeli Occupation in 1967). In demographic terms, the proportion of settlers to the Palestinian population in the West Bank is around 21.8 settlers per 100 Palestinians compared with 68.3 settlers per 100 Palestinians in Al-Quds Governorate. In addition, the data indicated that the expansion and annexation wall detaches more than 12% of the West Bank, and these imposed restrictions on 1.9 million inhabitants living in areas close to the wall and / or settlements, accounts 400 thousand inhabitants.
With respect to demolishment acts of the Israeli occupation forces in Palestine, 433 buildings (houses and establishments) have been destroyed in 2017, 46% of them in Al-Quds. Demolished buildings include 170 houses (148 of them in Al-Quds), and 263 establishments including primary schools, forcibly displacing 180 families (818 persons) only in East Al-Quds, half of them are children. They also threatened to destroy 1,030 buildings in 2017, at a time when the needs of housing units for Palestinians increase. In figures, about 61% of households in Palestine need to build new housing units over the next decade according to the data of housing conditions survey 2015 (one residential unit or more). The demolition of the buildings resulted in large economic losses with a value of about 300 US dollars per square meters, meaning that the losses of Palestinians in Al-Quds amounted to about 51 million US dollars during the years 2000-2017.

Much haschanged in the magnitude of the weed control guide over the years, but thepurpose remains the same.
In 1967 itconsisted of 12 pages, with large print and a lot of white space. The currentguide is about 135 pages with very condensed print and contains much moreherbicide information. It has always been intended to be a resource to helpfarmers and crop advisors with selecting herbicides and using themappropriately.
The 1967edition listed 16 herbicide active ingredients while the latest edition includes93 active ingredients. In addition to those 93, the guide also includes genericproducts and pre-mix combinations.
Probably thefirst place you would go to for reference would be the efficacy tables. Theyhave the various herbicide treatments and combinations listed by applicationtiming, whether that is a preplant, preemergence, or postemergence herbicide.Then it provides ratings for the kind of weed control we would anticipate onthe common weed species in those crops.
We base theinformation included in the guide on field trial evaluations done by K-Statescientists, evaluations of new and established herbicides for crop toleranceand weed control, and recommendations from chemical professionals and otheragronomists who have performed herbicide testing in other states.
Along withthe efficacy tables is information about safe use and handling, protectiveequipment and herbicide resistance management. There is also a cost tableavailable, which is developed by soliciting information from distributors andadding in a percentage markup for retail. It does not account for discountsthat might be available through local retailers, so growers might end up payingless than the amount projected.
Additionally,there is information about managing pastures and rangeland, land enrolled inthe Conservation Reserve Program, noncropland and noxious weeds as well.
The guide isjust one source for weed control. People should also consult their local cropadvisors on herbicide application, as products might perform differently incertain parts of Kansas.It is also not meant to serve as a replacement to the herbicide label, which isimportant for people to read.
Theherbicide label is the law, and that's the resource you should go to when usingthose herbicides. But, this guide does provide some comparisons, restrictionsand how the various herbicides should be utilized.
It issurprising how many changes have to be made to the guide annually. Therefore,anyone who has an outdated copy should get the 2014 edition.

Many enterprises create their own calculation methods adapted to the specific conditions and requirements of a particular company. These calculations usually combine standard methods with the company’s own practical knowledge and research in specific areas. Internal calculation methods are often collections of the company’s values and processes intended to ensure that the enterprise functions normally and that new products are released in a timely manner.
Unfortunately, not all enterprises have well-maintained knowledge bases or calculation methods that are useful in daily work.
Soft Xpansion has many years of experience porting enterprise calculation processes to modern platforms like MDESIGN, which is highly regarded in Europe.

Sometimes kids need a little encouragement to get outside and explore, although I’ve always found that they really love it when they do. To help matters, the South West Lakes Trust have produced a great little booklet entitled ‘101 Things to do this Summer’. Everyone loves ticking off things on a ‘to do’ list and it’s much more fun when that list is jam packed full of great ideas.
From the simple ‘Run up and roll down a big hill’ to the more creative ‘Dance on a tree stump’, and the adventurous ‘Build a den’, there’s something for everyone to achieve. ‘Skip along a nature trail’ ‘Make a daisy chain’ and ‘Have an outdoor picnic’ are three of our favourites.
At Wimbleball Lake all ages can enjoy learning to paddle board, canoe (see what wildlife you can spot on the lake) or practice tying knots. On firm ground the lake has miles of off-road trails which can be explored by bike or on foot. Make it more interesting for younger members of the family by incorporating a mini-beast hunt, collecting leaves for leaf rubbing later or tracking animal prints.
Although, of course, we hope you come to Exmoor, this inspiring little booklet can be used whenever you might be out and about this summer and you can download it free here. Enjoy!

Definition - What does BigQuery mean?
BigQuery is a Web service from Google that is used for handling or analyzing big data. It is part of the Google Cloud Platform. As a NoOps (no operations) data analytics service, BigQuery offers users the ability to manage data using fast SQL-like queries for real-time analysis.
BigQuery is considered as an example of infrastructure as a service (IaaS). This tool can be used with Apache Hadoop or other frameworks to handle large data sets. BigQuery also provides a REST API, which uses the Representational State Transfer (REST) model for open and transparent collaboration.
Using data in BigQuery means that the data need to be uploaded first to Google Storage. BigQuery has an API that can be used to integrate this process into the data analysis. BigQuery is compatible with SQL queries and can be used with Google Apps Script, Google Spreadsheets and other Google services.

After years of research and debate, the West Virginia Legislature has declined to pass significant safety legislation for the operation of ATV's in the Mountain State.
Now comes another study requested by Gov. Joe Manchin that clearly defines what needs to be done to decrease deaths and injuries in West Virginia.
The state generally has the highest ATV death and injury rate in the nation.
A workgroup of ATV health and safety experts put together recommendations that include further limiting the operation of ATVs on paved roads and mandating helmet use for all riders.
ATV industry lobbyist Karen Coria has told the legislature for years that the vehicles were never meant to be ridden on paved highways, saying they become unstable and dangerous.
The study found that from 2005 to 2007, nearly two-thirds of fatal ATV crashes occurred on paved roads.
Coria says the study says ATVs should be restricted from paved roads.
Last week, a bill was introduced in the Legislature that would ban ATVs from all paved roads but give counties and municipalities the authority to make exceptions.
Counties and towns could have a problem allowing riders to use ATVs on their local paved highways, a liability risk based on warning labels attached to the ATVs.
It is highly unlikely the bill will pass because the state has the highest number of ATV riders per capita in the nation, a voting block that desires freedom to ride the unlicensed vehicles on main highways.
Coria has said the safety problems, mixing and matching ATVs with cars and trucks is high risk.
The Senate Transportation Committee plans to discuss the legislation today.

In this paper we use confidential-use Census and administrative data to produce the first national estimates of excess mortality, institutionalization and homelessness for the largest Indigenous population in Canada from the ages of 5 to 64. We identify mortality rates at least twice the Canadian average and find exceptionally high mortality rates for young Indigenous women and girls – up to four times the Canadian average at certain ages. We show mortality rates are even higher on reserve – up to five times the Canadian average. These relative mortality rates are higher than the relative mortality rates of African Americans and the Native Americans to non-Hispanics in the United States. We also estimate very high rates of institutionalization and homelessness, especially among men and as a result there are stark gender ratio imbalances among this population. We speculate that this gender imbalance may play a role in excess female mortality in addition to several other socioeconomic factors.

Up to half of people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) use a psychotropic drug, and one in five uses two or more psychotropics concomitantly, according to a study conducted at the University of Eastern Finland.
Psychotropic drug use was more common among persons with Alzheimer’s disease already five years before the diagnosis, and the difference to comparison persons without AD increased at the time of diagnosis. Four years after the diagnosis, psychotropic drug use was three times more common in persons with AD than in comparison persons.
Of psychotropic drugs, the use of antipsychotics was almost eight times more common among persons with Alzheimer’s disease than among comparison persons. There were no differences in the use of benzodiazepines and related drugs. The use of at least two psychotropics concomitantly was three times more common among persons with Alzheimer’s disease four years after the diagnosis. The most common combination included an antidepressant together with either an antipsychotic or a benzodiazepine.
The use of first-line anti-dementia drugs, namely acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, was associated with a decreased risk of psychotropic polypharmacy, whereas memantine use was associated with an increased risk. The results were published in European Neuropsychopharmacology.
“Concomitant use of psychotropics is concerning, as previous studies have shown that there is a link between several adverse events and psychotropic drug use among older persons and persons with dementia,” says Professor Sirpa Hartikainen from the University of Eastern Finland.
Guidelines of care in many countries recommend prescribing an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor to persons with Alzheimer’s disease, if there is no contraindication for use.
This study was part of the nationwide register-based MEDALZ study conducted at the University of Eastern Finland. The study included all 70,718 persons diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in Finland during 2005-2011. Researchers from Utrecht University also contributed to this study.

Abstract : Human activities on floodplains have severely disrupted the regeneration of foundation riparian shrub and tree species of the Salicaceae family (Populus and Salix spp.) throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Restoration ecologists initially tackled this problem from a terrestrial perspective that emphasized planting. More recently, floodplain restoration activities have embraced an aquatic perspective, inspired by the expanding practice of managing river flows to improve river health (environmental flows). However, riparian Salicaceae species occupy floodplain and riparian areas, which lie at the interface of both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems along watercourses. Thus, their regeneration depends on a complex interaction of hydrologic and geomorphic processes that have shaped key life-cycle requirements for seedling establishment. Ultimately, restoration needs to integrate these concepts to succeed. However, while regeneration of Salicaceae is now reasonably well-understood, the literature reporting restoration actions on Salicaceae regeneration is sparse, and a specific theoretical framework is still missing. Here, we have reviewed 105 peer-reviewed published experiences in restoration of Salicaceae forests, including 91 projects in 10 world regions, to construct a decision tree to inform restoration planning through explicit links between the well-studied biophysical requirements of Salicaceae regeneration and 17 specific restoration actions, the most popular being planting (in 55% of the projects), land contouring (30%), removal of competing vegetation (30%), site selection (26%), and irrigation (24%). We also identified research gaps related to Salicaceae forest restoration and discuss alternative, innovative and feasible approaches that incorporate the human component.

I will spend the next seven lessons on the Eucharistic Prayer, and it would really help if you had a copy of the Eucharistic Prayers from your missalette, Daily Roman Missal, Magnificat, or mobile App so you can follow along.
At this point of the Mass, everyone is invited to kneel. Well, at least in the United States. (In other countries – Spain, Italy, France, Mexico – the faithful stand until the consecration.) We kneel because something holy and miraculous is about to happen: the bread and wine will be changed into the Body and Blood of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
There are four standard Eucharistic Prayers for daily Mass, plus several others for Masses of Reconciliation and in some countries, Eucharistic Prayers for Masses with children. For these lessons, I will focus on Eucharistic Prayer I, also known as the ‘Roman Canon.’ The word ‘canon’ in the liturgy means that the prayer is ‘fixed,’ and is the same day in and day out with limited exceptions for Christmas and Easter time.
The first Eucharistic Prayer – the Roman Canon – is the prayer that your parents, grandparents, and great-great-great-grandparents all the way back to 1570, would have followed in Latin at Mass. It was the same from the Council of Trent until the reform of the Liturgy of the Second Vatican Council.
The Roman Canon is still basically the same, except we now pray it in the vernacular (English) and we’ve added the name of St. Joseph to the saints we commemorate at Mass.
Do you struggle with getting your kids to actively participate during Mass, to sing the songs and say the responses? Here’s some advice from a mom and music teacher.

Many Aboriginal youth spoke about their difficulty in finding affordable and safe housing in Calgary. Whether they had chosen to leave their families, were attempting to leave the street or were forced to find accommodation due to family violence, Aboriginal youth felt they were being ignored by landlords and were unsure of rental procedures. In many cases, welfare was not sufficient and they felt they were denied rentals because as Aboriginal youth they would be "too noisy and would party all the time".
Youth suggested an Aboriginal Youth Housing Advocate which would operate as one central service where they could get the help they needed. This was recommended particularly for those Aboriginal youth wanting to leave the street, young prostitutes, emancipated youth leaving Calgary Young Offenders Center as well as those Aboriginal youth who were leaving family violence.
Establish transitional homes for pregnant Aboriginal youth, young prostitutes leaving the street as well as homeless Aboriginal youth.
Aboriginal youth knew of peers who were at particularly high risk of re-entering unsafe situations if they did not receive specialized services. It was important that homeless youth, young mothers as well as child prostitutes have a safe place to go where they could receive services, and be away from negative adult influences. Again multidimensional centralized services were recommended such as drug and alcohol interventions, anger management as well as educational and employment support.
Aboriginal youth felt that they would be more responsive to other youth who had been in similar crisis situations and who had successfully healed themselves. This included youth living on the street, prostitutes and youth involved in criminal or gang activity. An after hours crisis team could respond to situations and encourage Aboriginal youth to look at other options or refer them to services.

Reading takes work, but it is incredibly rewarding. I’ve discovered more and more the benefits of solitary reading on a person’s mind and soul. Reading online isn’t all that terrible (otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this), but it has drawbacks that we should be aware of. This article is spot on.
"The digital world offers us many advantages, but if we yield to that world too completely we may lose the privacy we need to develop a self. Activities that require time and careful attention, like serious reading, are at risk; we read less and skim more as the Internet occupies more of our lives. And there’s a link between selfhood and reading slowly, rather than scanning for quick information, as the Web encourages us to do. Recent work in sociology and psychology suggests that reading books, a private experience, is an important aspect of coming to know who we are."

If you are new to the world of electronics, the best way to get information about circuit board designs is to create a board for yourself. Whether you are a budding inventor who would like to concoct electronic gizmos or a musician who is interested in circuit bending electronic instruments, it can be remarkably helpful to learn how to navigate your way around a circuit board. As with any other topic, the best method of education about circuit boards is complete immersion in the subject.
Novices should start off simply with prepared electronic kits. Once you learn how electronics components like resistors, capacitors and transistors work, you can plot out basic designs on a breadboard. Breadboards are unprinted boards with rows of holes drilled across the entire surface. The holes accommodate the prongs from various components, which must then be connected with wires.
At this point, you may be ready to actually create your own circuit board. You can find raw, undrilled circuit boards, upon which you must drill holes for your components. After this, you must mask the paths and points of connectivity, so that they retain their conductive nature. Once these points are amply covered, you must submerge your board into a chemical bath, to render the remainder of the board non-conductive. The type of chemical bath will vary, depending on the type of raw board you have.
If dealing with etching, masking, drilling and handling messy chemicals seems like too much of an ordeal, you can utilize a designated circuit board manufacturing company to create your prototype board. For very simple circuits, it may be easier to create the board yourself. For complex circuits with dozens of connect points and hundreds of solder pads, though, designated circuit board manufacturers can be a remarkable help.

The 1870s was a decade of railway expansion that would overtake the dominance of paddle-steamers. Both forms of transport were used to carry agricultural produce and minerals to ports for export, and to allow passengers to travel within and between the colonies. Initially the railways were built by private companies but, as the costs increased, the colonial governments took over the responsibility for building them.
Bridge construction accompanied rail expansion. In 1871 Tasmania's first railway line was opened from Deloraine to Launceston. In Western Australia the first railway line opened from Lockville to Yoganup. Between 1873 and 1875, the first Brisbane rail terminal station was built at Roma Street. In 1876 the main line of railway carried the first passengers between Hobart Town and Launceston. A bridge at Echuca spanning the Murray River was opened in 1879 with a railway line placed in its centre. Also, the Murray Bridge in South Australia was completed.
In 1871 the builders of the Overland Telegraph Line reached a waterhole in the centre of Australia, naming it Alice Springs after the wife of the Post-Master General, who was in charge of building the telegraph from Adelaide to Palmerston (Darwin). The Alice Springs Telegraph Station was the first European building to be built in central Australia. The Overland Telegraph Line was completed in 1872. Shortly after its completion, the first morse code message was received in Adelaide, 3,500 kilometres and 36,000 telegraph poles away. A submarine cable from Java reached Darwin, connecting Australia to the rest of the world in hours.
The Sydney Post Office issued postcards for the first time in 1875.

Mammograms are x-rays of the breast of people to look for cancers, like breast cancer. They help find tumors that cant be felt or other things that might signal cancer. This exam is mostly on women ages 40 years old - 74 years old. It is said to get an exam every 1 to 2 years.
Pap smears are exams to see if there is anything wrong with a girl's cervix. They look for infections or anything else that might be wrong with it. This exam is for women at the age of 21 and she should get it at least every 3 years.
This is an exam where a doctor/nurse checks a male's testicular area to see if there is any unusually lumps or bumps. It is good to check yourself at least once a month, if you are the ages 15 to 35.
What are Prostate Cancer Screenings?
This is a exam that is to see if you have prostate cancer, and usually for men between the ages of 40 and 75. And you would only need to get checked once.

Health care is a commercial activity where being fast really matters. Drones can solve many challenges in medical deliveries. However, the approval process for drone flights of medical devices or supplies is complex because they may contain hazardous materials.
But for the first time, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has allowed regular commercial flights of drones carrying products, enabling the pioneering use of drones to fly blood samples across a hospital campus. The aim is to cut down on the time it takes to transport the time-sensitive samples typically driven on the ground.
The short drone trips will be carried out between WakeMed buildings in Raleigh, North Carolina. UPS and drone company Matternet partnered with the hospital on the program.
The FAA confirmed in a statement that it hadn’t previously allowed drones to make routine commercial package deliveries, known as revenue flights. Others have flown drone deliveries as part of smaller-scale tests or demonstrations.
According to Matternet CEO Andreas Raptopoulos, the program will start by flying patients’ medical samples one-third of a mile from a medical park to the main hospital building for lab testing at least six times a day five days a week.
Vials of blood or other specimens will be loaded into a secure box and carried to a drone launching pad, where they will be fastened to the aircraft and flown to another building. Flights will technically be within sight of operators on either end of the route, and they are authorized to fly above people.
In the coming months, the program could expand to flying miles-long routes between the medical facility buildings.
Officials in Reno, Nevada, are in early testing of a program to deliver defibrillators to people having health emergencies. The defibrillator project has so far been testing at a rural site and hasn’t begun home deliveries, according to weirtondailytimes.com.

The occurrence of ground-piercing activity such as excavations in the vicinity of buried onshore pipelines can lead to an inadvertent impact of the pipeline wall, for example by an excavator bucket. This impact can lead to damage such as a dent, a gouge, or a combination of the two.
The implication of the damage depends on the dent depth, the gouge depth, and the gouge length. A dent alone does not generally have any safety implications, although it affects serviceability. However, depending on the depth of the gouge, a breach of the pipeline wall can occur which, depending on the length of the breach, can lead to a rupture running up to several pipe lengths.
Third Party Damage is recognised as one of the major causes of pipeline failure. There are a number of different approaches available for Third Party Damage Assessments. AFAA adopt a probabilistic approach that compares the failure probability for four of the most commonly used approaches.
AFAA have developed very sophisticated in-house software for undertaking Third Party Damage studies, it has been subjected to extensive validation and verification processes.

The Alhambra Palace: earthy, but classy.
It has to be strong to hold up all those tourists.
A whole village of rammed earth.
With a room this nice, who needs curtains?
We are partnering with the University of Western Australia and the WA department of housing using a Research Council of Australia grant to investigate the appropriateness of rammed earth for indigenous housing. There are two complete houses that will be monitored for two years with sensors in each room and several walls. It was great to visit the site and see that houses being lived in and appreciated.
The two houses are identical except for one was constructed using insulated rammed earth and the other was uninsulated rammed earth. Hopefully we can compare the thermal performance difference and try to measure the effects of thermal bridges inherent in the insulated rammed earth.
These thermal mass walls are already working well in the Kalgoorlie climate with occupants expressing the excellent comfort levels. Nearly all houses in the area have evaporatuve air conditioning that uses huge amounts of energy and water. The occupants expressed their joy of being comfortable in a naturally conditioned house on a hot day.
It seems logical that these people who are ‘of the earth’ would be suited to well designed earth houses.

This role of measurement gates in state preparation follows from the Born rule if the Qbits that are to be prepared already have a state of their own, even though that state might not be known to the user of the quantum computer. It also follows from the generalized Born rule if the Qbits already share an entangled state – again, not necessarily known to the user – with additional (unmeasured) Qbits. But one cannot deduce from the Born rules that measurement gates serve to prepare states for Qbits “off the shelf,” whose past history nobody knows anything about. In such cases the use of measurement gates to assign a state to the Qbits is a reasonable and plausible extension of the Born rules. It is consistent with them, but goes beyond them.
Why are "off the shelf" qubits any different from qubits whose state is unknown to the user? And why does whatever property these qubits have mean that the use of measurement gates for state preperation doesn't follow directly from the Born rule?

VDOT offers schools two free curriculum programs through the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO).
The Transportation and Civil Engineering (TRAC) Program is composed of hands-on educational modules designed for integration into science, math and social science classes in middle and high schools.
Students design, build, and present their bridges.
Open to middle and high school- aged students in Virginia. Scouting groups, homeschool groups, and teams from private schools are encouraged to participate.
Note: The AASHTO national bridge competition rules are different from the VDOT rules. All teams are encourages to try for the national competition which requires some additional requirements.
Also knows as RIDES, this program was developed by the Mississippi Department of Transportation.
It is a collection of K‐8 lessons that align with National Standards for math and science. Teachers receive a large storage trunk with supplies needed to complete the activities.
Both programs are free to schools. Teachers just need to attend a training session.
You can also invite a VDOT volunteer to speak to your students.

WEST CHESTER (July 6) – With excessive heat in store for the Chester County region this week, state Senator Andy Dinniman advised residents to stay hydrated, avoid the outdoors during mid-day hours, and know the warning signs of heat-related illness.
The National Weather Service has issued an Excessive Heat Warning for Chester County and Southeastern Pennsylvania from 11 a.m. today (July 6) to 6 p.m. Friday, July 8. Temperatures are expected in the lower and mid-90s today and in the middle 90s on Thursday and Friday. The heat index values will be around 100 during the afternoon hours today, Thursday, and Friday.
Avoid strenuous activity outdoors, especially during peak mid-day hours.
Wear light-colored, lightweight, loose-fitting clothing that provides protection from the sun.
Stay hydrated with cool liquids, but remember that alcoholic or caffeinated drinks can actually contribute to dehydration.
If you don’t have air conditioning, seek air-conditioned environments like malls, movie theaters, libraries, or senior centers.
Do NOT leave children or pets alone in unattended vehicles. A car’s interior can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.
Dizziness, nausea, headache, rapid heartbeat, chest pain, fainting and breathing problems are all warning signs of heat-related illness and help should be sought immediately. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool area. Heat stroke is an emergency, call 9-1-1.
In addition, the Chester County Department of Aging Services has complimentary box fans available for senior citizens (age 60 and older) who are in need. The fans are courtesy of PECO. Please contact the department at (610) 344-6350 to request a fan.
“Please be cognizant of the dangers of excessive heat and keep an eye out for the warning signs of heat-related illness. That goes for pets, too. Be sure they have access to plenty of water and don’t leave them outside or in the sun for lengthy periods of time,” he added.

A form of arthritis characterized by severe burning pain, redness, tenderness and stiffness in joints. Gout is a kind of arthritis caused by uric acid crystals forming in one or more joints.
Affected joint becomes red, feels hot, and painful.
Pain increases when the joint is touched.
Foods that are rich in purines increase the risk for gout – Salmon, sardines, organ meats, asparagus, mushrooms and herring are examples of foods rich in purines.
Men develop gout more often than women.
Lose weight if patient is overweight.
Follow diet prescribed – low-salt, & low-fat diet.
To avoid alcohol and foods that are high in purines.
To drink lots of water to help flush uric acid from the body.
When gout is not treated, a gout attack can last for days or even weeks.
Prolong attacks for many years may lead to TOPHI – uric acid crystals that form lumps under the skin.
Tophi usually form on the toes, fingers, hands and elbows.
Gout may also lead to kidney disease or kidney stones from uric acid crystals that collect in the urinary tract.

I know that it’s tough to end up unemployed because the boss installed a machine at the toothpaste factory to do your job of screwing the lids on. It has to be tough and a surprise. And I suppose it’s no consolation to the people who find themselves in that position that it has been going on since the dawn of man.
We can trace many jobs that have been lost to mechanization. People used to need horses, box, wagons. They don’t need these things anymore. All the people involved in wagon making and livery had to go out of business. Many of the fruits and vegetables that we eat were once picked by hand and are now picked by machine. In each of these cases new fields of employment opened up as a result. So yes, it is true that people lost their jobs.
However, it is also true that many other people obtained employment. As you know, I am a huge fan of Mike Rowe Works which is an organization that seeks to help people attain trade education. While a university education can be beneficial we have seen more and more that the people who do well are the people who have a marketable skill. Especially the kind of skill that does something. If you are a stone ask maker and the bronze guy comes along your best bet is to learn how to do the bronze making.

The Plainview School is a ten-room, single-story, rectangular O 70′ x 58′) structure constructed from heavily rusticated and coursed native sandstone. It has a flat roof with parapets capped by cut limestone. Entryways are recessed; the front entry is covered with a pre-formed concrete porch and lintel, the latter extending to the roof line. Placed by threes, the windows are aluminum encased and rest on pre-formed concrete sills.
The Plainview School is an exceptionally attractive structure, mainly due to the fine workmanship and materials that went into its construction. Built by what were originally unskilled laborers, this structure displays the fine job the WPA did in training its workers and giving them a skill. Many of the most significant aspects of the WPA are displayed in this structure: employing unskilled laborers left jobless because of the depression, giving those laborers a skill they could utilize later in life, and promoting learning through the construction of new schools. Within the community it is unique in terms of type, style, materials and workmanship.

Continuing our IQ theme, the New York Times has a fascinating article on the contributions of genetics and environment to IQ and argues that the effect of the environment becomes much more crucial for those from low-income backgrounds.
[Psychologist Eric Turkheimer] has a reputation as a methodologist’s methodologist. In combing through the research, he noticed that the twins being studied had middle-class backgrounds. The explanation was simple – poor people don’t volunteer for research projects – but he wondered whether this omission mattered.
This interaction between economic background and mental functioning has now been replicated in a number of studies looking at everything from mental illness to criminal behaviour (e.g. see Christian’s previous post).

Due to advances in treatment and technology, more patients than ever before who are born with congenital heart disease (CHD) are living into adulthood. For the first time, there are more adult than pediatric CHD patients, with the number of adult cases in the U.S. estimated at 1.3 million.1 The management of these patients is so complex that a new subspecialty of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) is now available for certification by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Penn State Hershey Heart and Vascular Institute has long recognized the complex needs of this growing population, and started a program for adult congenital heart disease (PACHD) in 1991, which is directed by William Davidson, Jr., M.D.

Did you know it is common for people to injure themselves during their move? When you are packing and preparing to move out of your home, your goal is to get everything done as quickly as possible. Because the process is so lengthy and taxing, it is easy to forget to prioritize and rush into things. This can lead to injuries that can last a lifetime! Make sure you avoid injuries by learning proper lifting techniques, ways to avoid cuts and breaking bones, and utilizing movers in Denver.
Use a wide stance: Prior to lifting an object, make sure you have a wide stance to allow you to have more support when lifting. Keep feet at shoulder-length, with one foot a little ahead than the other.
Lift with your legs: Do not bend over at a 90-degree angle with your back and pick up heavy items. This can lead to strains or damage. Instead, lift with your legs. The process is simple—just squat into a position and place your hands under the object. Make sure to keep your back straight and slowly rise back up. Repeat this when setting items on the floor.
Use your hips as a guide: If you need to turn into another direction with a heavy objection in your hands, avoid an injury by keeping your shoulders in the same direction as your hips.
Keep the item close to you: If you keep an item further away from your body, it can lead to strains and issues in your lower back, arms, and more. Keep the box or object close to you.
During your move, it is important to protect yourself from moving-related injuries. As you build and close boxes, you might be increasing your risk for cardboard cuts. These can be a painful nuisance! A great way to prevent this from happening is to use special gloves. These will fit great and keep you from accidentally cutting yourself on the box.
It is also common for people to break bones when moving. One wrong move can lead to a painful situation. As you move, it is important to be able to see your hands when picking up items and to have clear paths established throughout the moving area to avoid tripping on items. Many people also injure themselves when heavy items fall onto them because they are unsecured or improperly placed.

Arboriculture is the cultivation, management, and study of individual trees, shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants. Photo: IISS.
The IISS is now offering arboriculture internships to the US; expanding on its unrivalled opportunities for Irish greenkeepers to work abroad.
The Irish Institute of Sports Surfaces (IISS) is now providing arboriculture opportunities in the US to prospective participants, adding to its already established US greenkeeping internship offering.
A career in arboriculture is diverse with no two days the same. The opportunity combines practical and theoretical principles in management, ecology, and the planning of tree and woodland care.
Participants will experience practical training with access to specialist machinery and industry standard equipment. Participants will carry out inspections and surveys of individual and woodland trees — advising homeowners and/or landowners on how to care for their trees — and teach others about the benefits of managing trees.
Prospective participants are required to already be trained in chainsaw safe-use and trained or experienced in working at heights with a recognised accredited qualification.
Participants who are successful in securing the internship will be provided with housing, health insurance, transportation, and a monthly stipend.
If interested in participating, contact IISS via email at [email protected] for more information on opportunities for 2019.

Ventilate your house or apartment several times a day.
Condensation on the inside windows are always an indication of damp indoor climate. Ventilate if this happens.
Do not constantly leave your windows open in cold weather.
Install mechanical ventilation in the kitchen and bathrooms – it is important that these rooms always are ventilated. Keep doors closed to prevent moisture from spreading throughout the apartment.
Keep the temperature consistent and never allow cooling below 0°C (32°F) due to the risk of condensation.
The doors between cold and warm spaces should remain closed.
Do not place furniture directly against exterior walls.
Check the floors, walls and ceilings for visible water damage, including bubbles on the surface, mould spots or colour changes.
Use a shower curtain and wipe up water on the floor after showering or bathing.
Clean the bathroom floor drains, under the tub and around the edges on the tub or shower.
Perform a simple ventilation control to see if the mechanical ventilation can hold a paper. If you do not have a vent in the bathroom, there should be a gap for air exchange that is about as wide as a finger under or over the door to the bathroom.
Always contact your landlord before you install a washer or dryer.
The ventilation system does not always have the capacity to vent the moisture from bathrooms used by several people. The residual moisture can lead to mould growth (dark colour) or bacteria (orange-red). This can be washed weekly with a sponge and ordinary detergents. Residual mould in tile joints does not present a health risk.
If your home still has high humidity despite extensive ventilating, the cause also could be a hidden leak or a constructional defect. Contact a professional restoration company if this is not provided through your insurance company.

Laser hair removal is one of the most common laser procedures performed today. Most of us have unwanted hair on our underarms, arms and other parts of our body. With so many of us always on the go, who wants to deal with shaving, waxing or tweezing? The laser hair removal treatment is a cosmetic procedure that uses pulsed laser energy to remove unwanted hair from a targeted area, while leaving surrounding skin unharmed.
There are temporary treatments to remove unwanted hair, but patients seeking more permanent and less irritating methods are frequently good candidates for laser hair removal. Through what is a safe and usually painless procedure, hair can be removed from nearly any area of the body at Skin & Laser Surgery Center of New England.
While any individual with excess hair is a candidate for laser hair removal, certain colors and types of hair benefit more. Laser hair removal treatments are most effective on people with coarse and dark hair as well as a fair complexion. People with lighter and less course hair can still benefit from laser hair removal.
Redness, soreness or swelling may occur immediately after laser hair removal, but typically disappear within a few days. Cold compresses or ice packs, moisturizers, and anti-inflammatory creams may minimize discomfort. Dr. Khatri recommends avoiding sun exposure as much as possible for some period of time. This will allow your skin to recover from the laser hair removal treatment.
At Skin & Laser Surgery Center of New England, we perform laser hair removal while the target area is numbing with a topical anesthetic. A handheld device that emits intense laser pulses moves across the area, focusing on individual hair follicles. There are several different methods of laser hair removal. Dr. Khatri will decide the appropriate method for you during your consultation.
Hair growth takes place cyclically, in three stages. The most effective laser hair removal takes place during the full growth stage, because the hair follicles in this stage are susceptible to laser energy. But, because all hair is not in the same stage of growth at any time, several laser treatments may be necessary. To some extent, the length of treatment depends on the texture of the patient’s hair, and the treatment area.

Whether you are an archivist at a large museum, a volunteer at a local historical society, or the family historian, it’s important to know the vintage and type of photographs in your collection.
Numerous types of photographs appeared and then went out of favor throughout the 1800s. So, the first step in narrowing the possible date for your old photograph is to be able to identify 19th-century photographs to determine what type you have. The information provided in this handy and light application can turn you into a proficient photo detective.
Through this FREE android application (Antique Photograph Process Identification), you will find various information about most known antique photographs types. whether it is a direct positive like Daguerreotype, Ambrotype, and Tintype, or from a negative for instance, Salted paper print, gelatine prints, and albumen prints.etc.
Ther information in this application covers the main features of the identified type and its layers and support materials, in addition, some information about its deterioration features.
Some other useful links are added to the application for the most well-known photograph institution as well as some Youtube videos about photographs conservation techniques which have been applied in most cases for some research purpose by me.
At the time being, I am working hard to update this application with new features and options for naive users, which will make antique photographs identification easier for those who are not professionals or not fully familiar with photo types to help them at least to get a basic idea of their family and private photograph collection.
This application gives you basic information about antique photographs types, but if you would like to take action to those photographs you should consult an expert before taking any action.

Can Excessive Humidity Damage Your Electronics?
Excessive humidity in a home can lead to lots of problems. First of all, your health could be affected in many ways, and other bad things could happen as well. Are you wondering if excessive humidity can damage your electronics? If so, then by reading this article you will definitely find the answer to your question.
What happens if the humidity in your home is very high?
If the humidity in your home is very high, then this will certainly affect, first of all, your health. You will probably deal with respiratory problems and you will find very hard to fall asleep due to this issue. Furthermore, people who suffer from asthma will cause a worsening of their condition. Young children and babies could also deal with this sort of problems. Your hair and your skin could also be affected, and in the worst scenario, you could deal with serious lungs problems. Many people know only about this sort of problems caused by a high humidity level, but there are also other bad things that could happen. For example, your electronics could be affected as well. How? The explanation is very simple, a continual running of your electronic devices in a very humid environment will decrease the insulation resistance in the capacitors. Moreover, these units have some important transistors that could deal with an increased leakage current, and also a reduced gain, which is extremely bad. Condensation will be formed on the internal components, and this will definitely damage your electronics. Therefore, in case you are wondering if excessive humidity can damage your electronics, the answer is yes, it can certainly do that.
What’s the best solution to a right humidity level in your house?
In order to maintain a proper humidity level in your home, it is highly recommended that you purchase a dehumidifier. Units like this are perfect for reducing the humidity in an indoor environment, and keeping it under control. By doing so, you will, first of all, avoid serious health problems, and you will also prolong the life of your electronics. Furthermore, the indoor air will be very easy to breathe, and you will also find a lot easier to rest at night. Due to the many models that are available in the shops these days, you will probably find a bit too hard to make a choice. Therefore, a great advice would be to choose an ultrasonic device, as it is extremely efficient and quiet, which means that you can use it at any time of the day without disturbing your family.

The Red-tailed Hawk is one of three species known in North America as a “chickenhawk”. Its breeding grounds range throughout North America, from western Alaska and northern Canada to Panama and the West Indies. This species inhabits a wide range of environments such as deserts, grasslands, coniferous and deciduous woodlands, tropical rainforests, farm fields and urban areas. The only place it is not found in North America is unbroken forest areas and the high arctic. This species is very trainable and used commonly by falconers in the United States. The conservation rating for the Red-tailed Hawk is Least Concern.
Red-tailed Hawk: Native only to the Ne-arctic region. They are found throughout the United States and Canada, and into Mexico and Central America. Many birds are year round occupants although the birds of the far north migrate south during the fall to escape the harsh winter. Habitats include open country with scattered, elevated perches, woodlands, mountains, agricultural fields and pastures.
High-pitched calls from two fledglings.
The raspy cry of the Red-tailed Hawk is typically used in movies to represent any eagle or hawk anywhere in the world.
Males and females perform a courtship ritual in which they dive and roll in the sky. They will even lock talons and fall together a distance before splitting apart.
They can spot a mouse from a height of 100 feet.

Is nasal surgery a solution for sleep apnea?
Surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea depends on determining where blockage of breathing is occurring during sleep, whether in the Nasal, Palate, or Tongue Regions that I outline on my main website: sleep-doctor.com. Often an individual will have more than one of these Regions involved, leading to my recommendation of a combination of surgical procedures. One of the most common questions I receive is whether a more-limited approach would be successful in treating sleep apnea, particularly surgery focused only on the nose.
Why should someone with sleep apnea consider nasal surgery?
There are many studies showing that nasal surgery–whether of the nasal septum, turbinates, sinuses, or the outside of the nose–can improve nasal obstruction and other related problems. In addition, improving nasal obstruction is one of the few things that has been shown to improve results of treatment with positive airway pressure therapy, and my experience is that it can do the same for oral appliances.
So what about nasal surgery as treatment of sleep apnea by itself?
Likewise, there are many studies evaluating the impact of nasal surgery by itself in the treatment of sleep apnea. However, many of the studies are fairly small, leading to challenges in drawing clear conclusions. This type of research evidence lends itself well to the technique of meta-analysis, the scientific combination of results of many studies into one larger study. The September 2015 issue of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery includes a published meta-analysis on this topic. In short, the study showed that nasal surgery can improve important symptoms such as sleepiness and a measure of sleep apnea called the respiratory disturbance index (capturing incomplete blockage of breathing that is enough to wake up someone from sleep) but does not generally achieve a significant improvement in the apnea-hypopnea index that measures more-substantial blockage of breathing. For anyone interested in hearing more, the journal has posted a podcast concerning the meta-analysis and the perspectives from Dr. Lisa Ishii (lead author) and me.
However, I have no crystal ball. Based on a personalized approach to shared decisionmaking with patients, even when the chances of clearing up sleep apnea are low, sometimes I will treat nasal breathing as a first step and reevaluate before proceeding with additional procedures. Sometimes we are all surprised by how much benefit we see after nasal surgery.

Evaporation equipment in operation when the internal solution is a corresponding flow, resulting in different evaporation efficiency. Compared with ordinary evaporator, multi-effect evaporator in every respect has a lot of advantages, then it flows and how it?
Through a comprehensive observation, we found that multi-effect evaporator flows there are many, including the forward feed, countercurrent feeding, shunt feeding, cross-flow feeding, etc., but also between them very different nature. Such as feed and stream for instance, the solution will be higher than the pressure and temperature of the evaporator, the low temperature evaporator pressure flow, that flow between the various aging solution is to rely on pressure to complete.
Steam in this case, the solution is usually the state of overheating and produce gasification, evaporation effect will be further enhanced, thereby reducing energy consumption. But this way, the characteristics of multi-effect evaporator is the concentration of the solution will be progressively increased, the temperature gradually decreased, so that the heat transfer area of the entire evaporation process is increased. Thus we conclude, and stream feeding only on the viscosity of the solution was evaporated little more effective.
Look at the countercurrent steam feeding happens, it happens to be overcome and streams feeding disadvantage, of course, it also has some limitations. Including solutions need to rely on pumps to be transported; solution flow process since there is no evaporation; heat-sensitive material was not conducive to evaporation, etc., due to the presence of these factors, making multi-effect evaporator feed countercurrent flow is not perfect.

Interventional Radiology, often referred to as ‘IR’, is the rapidly developing and exciting area of minimally invasive treatments using image guidance to perform procedures in nearly every organ in the body.
Interventional Radiologists are medical specialists trained in using ultrasound, X-rays or CT to place needles and catheters (tubes measuring a few millimeters) through the skin without requiring any incisions (usually just a ‘nick’ in the skin). These can be placed into arteries and then steered to the body part needing treatment or placed directly into the organ or tumour. A growing number of procedures that previously required open surgery can now be performed using interventional radiology.
When compared to the open surgery for the same condition the recovery is must faster, and the risks are often less.
Interventional radiologists offer in-depth knowledge of the least invasive treatments available coupled with diagnostic and clinical experience across all specialties. Interventional radiology treatments can offer less risk, less pain and less recovery time compared to open surgery.

Waikato pet rabbit owners are being urged to vaccinate their bunnies now, with the release of the RHDV1 K5 virus to tackle wild pests due to occur in mid-April.
K5 is a virus that could reduce Waikato’s wild rabbit population in the region’s hotspots. It’s a variant of a virus that’s already present in New Zealand and only affects the European rabbit.
In mid-April contractors will be pre-feeding using carrots in strategic locations in Pauanui, Whangamata, Thames, Matarangi, Hamilton, Cambridge, Taupō, Kuratau and Kinloch.
“This will get the rabbits used to eating the carrots before the virus is put in,” said Waikato Regional Council biosecurity pest animals team leader, Brett Bailey.
“We’ve selected sites where our communities and local councils have told us rabbits are a particular problem, and where the virus will have maximum impact on rabbit populations,” he said.
Mr Bailey said a small number of rabbit owners had contacted the council concerned about their pets. “This is not a new virus. It’s been in New Zealand more than 20 years and there is a well-tested vaccine which is available from most veterinarians.
“If they haven’t already, we’d suggest pet rabbit owners ensure vaccinations are up-to-date,” he said.
The virus is specific to rabbits. Humans and other animals won’t be affected if they accidentally come into contact with carrots treated with the virus or the carcasses of rabbits killed by the virus.
The virus is spread by rabbit-to-rabbit contact, and also by flies. The full impact of the virus could take six weeks or more for its full impact to be visible.
Mr Bailey said it was important rabbit carcasses are left in place so the virus can spread naturally. Moving carcasses can dilute the strength of the virus and result in rabbits being immune to it.
Approval to import and release the virus was given in late February. The new strain of the virus has already been released in others parts of New Zealand, including Otago and Canterbury.

With technology evolving at a a dizzying speed, new terminology pops out of the woodwork every five minutes. While it's generally pretty easy to understand the gist of these new words, sometimes the real meaning is lost on us.
"These technologies have huge implications for our industry, well beyond the very real benefits of saving time and money."
For example, in the market research industry, we throw around words like "machine learning", "automation" and "artificial intelligence" – often using them interchangeably. But how many of us actually know what they mean, especially in the context of market research?
Saida Eldon and Horst Feldhaeuser from the Infotools Client Services team defined these terms in an article for the October-November 2018 edition of Research News, published by the Australian Market and Social Research Society (AMSRS). Download the PDF to see how they describe the difference between automation, machine learning and AI and how they are being applied in the market research industry.
Horst Feldhaeuser shares his views about the changes in the market research industry in recent years in this interview with Radio New Zealand.

Foam Cleaning refers to the cleaning of equipment by using special chemistry applied as a foam. The applied foam is followed by a low-pressure water rinse. Our chemistry is engineered after studying the type of scales and deposit formed on the subject. An ideal cleaning method for fin-tube exchangers, surface condensers, high-pressure steam turbines etc. as it maximizes solvent-to surface exposure so as to reach the entire surface without any gaps. The chemistry is biodegradable and environmentally safe to use.

What is today’s Halloween began more than 2,000 years ago as the Celtic festival of Samhain.
The Celtic year began on Nov. 1, marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, which often was associated with death.
The weather would insure that the meat would keep since it would become frozen.
It was believed that on New Year’s Eve, Oct. 31, the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead was thin enough that those who had died could pass into the world of the living.
People would dress in costumes and dance around bonfires while the Druids, Celtic priests, would tell fortunes.
In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III declared Nov. 1 All Saints Day. Soon thereafter, Nov. 2 was made All Souls Day.
It was believed this was an attempt by the church to replace the pagan holiday of Samhain with a similar Christian one.
All Saints Day and All Souls Day were celebrated essentially in the same way as Samhain had been.
Once America was discovered, Europeans brought the festival with them.
It was celebrated more in the southern colonies than in New England because of the strict religious beliefs of many Protestants there.
The festival again evolved to include native American traditions such as the telling of ghost stories.
As more immigrants came to America cultural lines began to blur.
People brought all their traditions from their homelands and mixed them with the existing festival, making the Halloween celebrated today.

Get connected with the Community Mapping Network and protect wetlands in your area.This is a great project for anyone who is passionate about the health of their local wildlife and watersheds, from community volunteers to schools, consultants, and planners!
BCWF’s Wetlandkeepers Courses are 2.5 day workshops that educate participants about wetland conservation! Upon a community request, BCWF brings the Wetlandkeepers Course into an area to teach wetland mapping, wetland hydrology, amphibian, plant and animal identification and soil sampling. This is a hands-on fieldwork course that provides participants will technical skills to steward their own wetland. Upon completion of the workshop participants are provided with a Wetlandkeeper certificate, and provided with follow up support by the Wetlands Coordinator.
Are you working on a wetland project and/or program in your community? Join us for 7 day intensive hands-on workshop on Salt Spring Island. The Wetlands Institute educates participants about wetland stewardship, restoration and construction skills. Participants often come to the Wetlands Institute with a wetland project they wish to implement in their home communities. During the workshop, participants receive support from knowledgeable experts and obtain hands-on training in order to successfully implement their wetland projects upon returning home. Since 1998, the Institute has been held bi-annually in selected communities across British Columbia. Participants spend most of the week in the field learning about the importance and diversity of wetlands, practising up to date field techniques to inventory wetlands vegetation mapping, water quality, soils, birds, amphibians, and fish. In addition, participants discuss ways to contact and communicate with landowners and developers and to raise public awareness and influence conservation policies. Within the selected host community(ies), several different wetland sites are visited during the week to highlight different restoration, conservation and education methods. Upon completion of the Institute, participants from all types of backgrounds are fully trained to begin wetland projects in their home communities!
The wetland restoration design workshops spend 1 to 2.5 days to teach you how to begin designing a restoration plan for wetlands. Though each course is tailored to be site-specific, topics covered may include, amongst other things, the principles for wetland design, estimating costs, and habitat considerations.

The CAE exam has 5 modules or papers. The objective of these papers is to assess the overall ability of a candidate on all 4 key skills such as Listening, Writing, Reading and Speaking. However, recognizing the importance of Grammar and Vocabulary, the CAE exam has an additional paper called “Use of English”, which is designed to assess and provide scores to candidates on their knowledge of grammar and their knowledge of vocabulary.
The table below provides an at-a-glace view of each module, the broad content and the duration of the exam.
A variety of text types are used including articles from newspapers, magazines, journals, extracts from books (fiction and non-fiction), promotional and informational materials.
The types of tasks used include multiple choice, matching and a gapped text task where candidates read a text from which six paragraphs have been removed and placed in a jumbled order.
Task 1 compulsory - Candidates write an article, a report, a proposal, or a letter based on material of up to 150 words.
Task 2 choice based - Candidates must complete one task from a choice of five. Two of the five questions are based on set reading texts.
50 questions over 5 parts.
The test uses a variety of tasks: multiple choice, gap-fill, word formation, key word transformation and gapped sentences. Requires candidates to demonstrate their ability to apply their knowledge of English vocabulary and grammatical structures.
30 questions over 4 sections.
The questions include multiple choices, sentence completion and multiple matching. Candidates must answer questions after listening to either short monologues or interacting speakers.
The Speaking test uses a paired format where two candidates are assessed by two trained Cambridge ESOL examiners.
One examiner acts as an ‘interlocutor’ and conducts the test, while the second examiner acts as an assessor and does not join in the conversation.
Each candidate has a short conversation with the interlocutor about themselves and subjects from daily life.
Each candidate then has a 1-minute turn where they are asked to make comparisons, express opinions, describe and speculate about visual stimuli.
Both candidates are asked to engage in conversation together while completing a collaborative task. They must then engage with the interlocutor in a wider discussion about the completed task.

This post is copied (with some small modifications and additional comments) from section 0.4 of my Ph.D. thesis, Towards compositional game theory. It is loosely based on a talk I gave at Logic for Social Behaviour 2016 in Zürich.
The term compositionality is commonplace in computer science, but is not well-known in other subjects. Compositionality is the principle that a system should be designed by composing together smaller subsystems, and reasoning about the system should be done recursively on its structure. When I thought more deeply, however, I realised that there is more to this principle than first meets the eye, and even a computer scientist may not be aware of its nuances.

Peppermint leaves are available throughout the year and is a favourite herbal medicine of the ancients. It is a member of the aromatic mint family and is used as a flavouring agent or as a comforting cup of herbal tea. The ancients certainly were aware of the mint family’s medicinal value. But even today’s scientific investigations have proven the abundance of potential health benefits peppermint plant carries.
Peppermint has been used for its health benefits for many years; it was a treatment for digestive problems, nausea, cholera, colds, cramps and bloating. In the nineteenth-century peppermint leaves were mashed and rubbed on the chest to ease whooping cough. Let us unveil more health benefits of peppermint.
Peppermint calms the stomach muscles and improves the flow of bile. Peppermint oil relieves symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, including indigestion, dyspepsia, and colon muscle spasms. It relaxes your digestive system and eases the pain. Peppermint also prevents smooth muscles from contracting, which could relieve spasms in your gut. Peppermint oil has been shown to relax muscles in your digestive system and improve various digestive symptoms.
There is a reason why peppermint is a common flavouring for toothpaste, mouthwashes and chewing gums. Peppermint has a pleasant smell; and also antibacterial properties that help kill germs that cause dental plaque- which improves your breath. Peppermint oil is said to kill germs that lead to bad breath.
It contains antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Peppermint mixed in a cup of warm tea may fight clogged sinuses due to infections, common cold and allergies. According to researchers, the active compounds of peppermint improve the perception of airflow in your nasal cavity.
As peppermint acts as a muscle relaxant, it may relieve menstrual cramps. Drinking peppermint tea may reduce the intensity and length of menstrual cramps since peppermint helps prevent muscle contractions.
Peppermint is a good source of manganese, copper and vitamin C. Vitamin C in peppermint has a role in decreasing colorectal cancer risk. It is the main water-soluble antioxidant required by the body to decrease levels of free radicals that can cause damage to cells.

This Environment Agency booklet aims to analyse the history of the By Brook. The By Brook is a tributary of the Bristol Avon River, situated roughly in the centre of that river's catchment. In recent geological history, the By Brook was the headwaters of the Avon; drainage to the south, east and north of its catchment being to the headwaters of the River Thames. The report is aimed at providing information for people interested in the subject of tributaries and geology, water mills of the By brook, Communities, natural history, geomorphology, wildlife and finally a suggested walk taking in some of the historic mill sites.

Water Quality Monitoring has been an integral component of the Ventura Countywide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit (Permit) since the first Permit was issued in 1994. Previous permits have focused on Mass Emission, Receiving Water, and Land Use water quality monitoring. The current Permit (adopted in 2010) focuses on Mass Emission and Major Outfall water quality monitoring.
The purpose of mass emission monitoring is to identify pollutant loads to the ocean and identify long- term trends in pollutant concentrations in the receiving waters. Mass Emission sites are located in the lower reaches of the three major Ventura County watersheds: Calleguas Creek (ME-CC), Ventura River (ME-VR2), and Santa Clara River (ME-SCR). Mass Emission drainage areas are large and include multiple sources of discharge, including natural sources, wastewater treatment plants, municipal and agricultural sources, and groundwater discharges. Monitoring at these sites allows the Program to measure water quality parameter concentrations resulting from discharges throughout an entire watershed and evaluate the cumulative effects of stormwater and other surface water discharges on beneficial uses in the watershed prior to discharge to the ocean.
In accordance with the current NPDES permit, water quality samples are collected for chemistry, and bacteriological analysis from each Mass Emission site during three wet weather events including the first significant (>0.25”) storm during the wet season (October 1 – April 15) and one dry weather event during each monitoring year (July 1 – June 30). Aquatic toxicity samples are collected during the first significant storm of the season.
Major Outfall stations, a component of the Permit since 2009, are located in subwatersheds representative of each Co-Permittee’s jurisdiction, and are used to determine their contribution to downstream waters. Stations are located in the Cities of Camarillo (MO-CAM), Fillmore (MO-FIL), Moorpark (MO-MPK), Ojai (MO-OJA), Oxnard (MO-OXN), Port Hueneme (MO-HUE), Santa Paula (MO-SPA), Simi Valley (MO-SIM), Thousand Oaks (MO-THO), and Ventura (MO-VEN), and the County unincorporated area (MO-MEI in Meiners Oaks).

Russian 57 mm Hotchkiss Gun.
These were the Russian versions of the well-known 6-pdr. (2.72 kg) Hotchkiss guns. They were originally purchased from France starting in 1904 when it became apparent that the 47 mm and 37 mm guns being used as the standard anti-torpedo boat guns were ineffective in that role. Three different lengths of the 6-pdr. guns were used in the Russian Navy: 40, 50 and 58 calibers. These were installed on destroyers built in 1905-1907, but were quickly removed in 1909-1910 when it was realized that they were almost as ineffective as the smaller guns they had replaced. In 1911-12 they were turned over to the Army for use as close defense guns in coastal fortresses. A number of them were then converted into AA guns in 1914 but the majority of them were destroyed in a fire at the warehouse where they were stored.
In addition to the Hotchkiss guns, there were also 57 mm Nordenfeld Guns originally used as ranging guns for coast defense batteries. In 1914-15 many of these were converted into AA guns and other 57 mm/40 guns bought from Japan were also used for AA. In 1917 there were nine 57 mm/40 Japanese Guns and sixteen 57 mm Nordenfeld guns remaining in the Black Sea Fleet.
The data below applies to the Hotchkiss guns except where specified.
^Shrapnel was available in very limited numbers.

The jazz composer, bandleader and trombonist Glenn Miller was the highest-selling recording artist of the late 1930s, composing more top 10 hits than Elvis or even The Beatles. He gave jazz a place in the musical mainstream and in the 75 years since his death, Miller’s music has lost none of its euphoric potency. His long list of standards continue to dazzle audiences in performances today and L’Auditori celebrates his anniversary with their very own Catalan homage to the great man. Their wonderfully eclectic program delves deep into Miller’s career and pays tribute to some of the other popular styles and composers in the jazz tradition and beyond.

Parental age at child's birth--which has steadily increased in the U.S.--is strongly associated with heightened risk of autism. By analyzing patterns of concordance for autism among twin pairs, we identify a central mechanism for this association: de novo mutations, which are deletions, insertions, and duplications of DNA in the germ cells that are not present in the parents' DNA sequence. We show how a social demographic change like rising parental age can yield genetic changes that, at the population level, combine to contribute to the increased prevalence of autism.

One of the first indications of head lice is itching caused by an allergic reaction to the bites, especially behind the ears and at the nape of the neck. Red bite marks or scratch marks are often seen on the back of the neck caused by scratching.
Signs of head lice include a tickling feeling of something moving in the hair. Irritability and lack of concentration. Head lice droppings - these show as black specs on pillow cases or collars.
They are the size of a sesame seed. Nits are the eggs and are yellowish white in colour. The eggs are sometimes mistaken for dandruff. Head lice can be anything from greyish white to white in colour.
Nits are found on the hair shaft generally at the nape of the neck. Adult head lice may be found anywhere on the head.
It takes several weeks exposure to the head lice before itching develops.
There are a number of other reasons for itching and scratching, of which dry air alone can be a culprit, and so ideally, the head lice need to be identified.
How did I get head lice?
Most cases of head lice are transmitted by close head to head contact and through sharing items such as ribbons, hats and hair brushes.
Head lice, also known as Pediculus humanus capitis, do not hop, jump or fly – they crawl.
If you have nits, just KP it!

The graphic below illustrates the significant differences in the demographic composition of the Australian population. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population shows a young population with approximately 42 percent under working age and less than 50 percent of working age (aged 20-59) compared with an older profile in the non-Indigenous population with approximately 26 percent under working age and over 56 percent of working age (aged 20-59).
The geographic distribution of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population also varies greatly from the non-Indigenous population.
In 2011, there were 15.7 million people living in major cities, 6.1 million in regional (rural) Australia and about 500,000 in remote Australia.
While only 1% of the population in Major Cities is Indigenous, 45% of the population in Very Remote areas is Indigenous.
Approximately 35% of Australia’s Indigenous people live in Major cities, with 65% living in regional and remote areas. In comparison, 71% of Australia’s non-Indigenous people live in Major cities, and 29% live in regional or remote areas.
Rural (including regional) populations have proportionally more children, fewer young adults, fewer people of working age, more people in late working age approaching retirement, and more elderly people.
Remote populations have proportionally more children, fewer young adults, slightly more people of working age, similar numbers of people in late working age approaching retirement, and substantially fewer elderly people.
