Observations of deep space quasars – extremely luminous objects with highly active supermassive black holes at their centers – show that within less than a 100,000 years these black holes had already reached masses of a billion suns. This is much too quick for them to have formed from the conventional erroneous view of “gobbling up” material that falls into their inescapable horizon. Additionally, the latest detection of gravitational waves demonstrates black holes with median mass ranges that were not expected to result from stellar collapse. As evidenced in the observation of a "massive fail", which shows that the standard understanding of supernovae and black hole formation may not yet be completely understood.
These and other observations begin to piece together a pattern that black holes, specifically primordial black holes, may be responsible for the formation of various cosmological structures and high-energy phenomena, from quasars to galaxies and potentially the source of so-called dark matter. Although it is well understood that following the Big Bang the density of the universe was sufficient to produce a wide range of primordial black holes -- just think of all that energy confined to an extremely small volume, this possibility has been largely ignored.

The star — which only has the scientific designation of EBLM J0555-57Ab — is located about 600 light-years from Earth and can be seen from the Southern Hemisphere — if you look through a large telescope.
"I was a little surprised to find one this small," Amaury Triaud, co-author of the paper published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics on Wednesday, told CBC News.
Astronomers searching for exoplanets, which orbit other stars, came across the star in one of their surveys. This is part of the team that discovered the TRAPPIST-1 system, another small and dim star that has seven planets, three of which hold the best chance for finding life outside our solar system, something that Triaud, who is a senior researcher at the University of Cambridge's Institute of Astronomy, still believes to be true.
The team focuses mainly on exoplanets, using the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) survey, telescopes that look for minute dips in a star's brightness that may indicate a planet is crossing in front of it.
But sometimes stars pass in front of another star as part of a two-star system. Astronomers have catalogued 200 of these binary systems using WASP.
Initially, the astronomers thought that it was an exoplanet. The star is 2,000 to 3,000 times fainter than our own sun. However, upon collecting more data, they realized that the mass indicated it had to be a tiny, dim star.

An international team of astronomers has detected evidence of a cold planet at least three times the size of Earth orbiting an ancient red dwarf star, right in our stellar neighborhood.
If you were traveling at the speed of light, it would take you just six years to reach it. In the context of the universe, that’s basically right next door.
The newly discovered world, described in Nature, is associated with a small, dim star known as Barnard’s star that is older than our solar system. It takes the planet 233 days to complete a single orbit around its cool red sun.
It is now the second-closest known planet to our solar system. The only closer known planet is an Earth-sized body that orbits the small red star Proxima Centauri in the Alpha Centauri triple star system. That planet was discovered in 2016 and lies just four light-years from Earth. The planet around Barnard’s star is probably too cold to host life, researchers said.
Although it is about as close to its own star as Mercury is to the sun, scientists say it is probably as cold as Saturn. That’s because Barnard’s Star emits only 0.4 percent of the sun’s radiant power.
But the new discovery is exciting for other reasons.

While working on the model to create this effect, Colin scribed figures in the surface and glued small plastic items to the surface to depict realistic shadows and detail.
Before computer graphics were viable, the props for Star Wars were developed using models. The styrene globe that Colin had ordered for the Death Star model arrived in 2 halves. Unfortunately, the edges of each half had shrunk slightly so that the two halves had a very tiny dip around the circumference. From his experience, Colin knew that it would take hours of work to connect the two globe halves so perfectly that a line would not show around the middle when the model was lit from the side with studio lights. With this in mind, Colin called George Lucas and asked him what he thought about the idea of creating a trench around the center of the Death Star.

And perhaps the government at the time sees it as a threat and tries to squash it out via persecution but it eventually spreads and by the end of the movie (or series of movies) becomes the dominant “religion” of the galaxy and have a presence on all of the planets. It could have a history that parallels the early churches rise and spread. I think if done right it could be a great breath of fresh air.

It's something Trekkies have wanted for a long time, and that desire for the franchise to head back to the small screen extended beyond mere fandom. Over the years, several Star Trek cast members have come forward with their own ideas about new TV series, and Michael Dorn was among the most vocal.
Dorn, who has the unique distinction of logging more hours as a cast member than anyone else in Star Trek history, has been working for a while now on a potential new TV series he dubbed The Worf Chronicles, which would follow the beloved Klingon's adventures beyond the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Fans everywhere seemed up for the idea, and Dorn was hoping CBS would be too.
Then, CBS announced a new TV show, which basically left The Worf Chronicles dead in the water. Dorn's not deterred, though. He apparently still wants to make the show ... just not as a Star Trek show.
"We were always aware that this was a possibility and we have a plan B," Dorn said. "The idea that we have is a great idea, so what we'd like to do is use it to start a new franchise."
That's right, Dorn's now hoping to develop a new sci-fi series completely independent of Star Trek, and while that means it could no longer be about Worf, he does

Located 1,360 light-years away in the constellation Lepus the star is a Mira-type variable, changing its brightness over a period of about 14 months. R Leporis is now recognized as a carbon star, a very cool and highly evolved red giant with an extreme abundance of carbon. Extra carbon in carbon stars is created by helium fusion near the dying stellar core and dredged up into the stars' outer layers. The dredge-up results in an overabundance of simple carbon molecules, like CO, CH, CN, and C2. While it's true that cool stars radiate most of their energy in red and infrared light, the carbon molecules strongly absorb what little blue light is left and give carbon stars an exceptionally deep red color. R Leporis is losing its carbon-rich atmosphere into the surrounding interstellar material through a strong stellar wind though, and could be near the transition to a planetary nebula. Oh, and Happy Halloween from the folks at APOD.

To discern between the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper, look for the constellation made of seven dim stars – this is the Little Dipper (the Big Dipper is made of seven brighter stars). To avoid confusion, use the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia together to spot the North Star. The Big Dipper and Cassiopeia are generally opposite each other and rotate counterclockwise around Polaris, with Polaris in the center.
You will use two “pointer stars”, one each from the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia, to form a line that points to the North Star. First, spot the Big Dipper (made of seven bright stars).

Director Justin Lin, best known for his work on the Fast & Furious franchise, has begun co-writing a Space Jam 2 script with the intention of directing and producing the film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
With Lin taking the reins and James already signed on with Warner Bros, one of the few hurdles that remains is bringing together a cast of hoop stars to star alongside LeBron. Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny obviously took center stage in the first movie, but what would the Space Jam of '96 have been without Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, Muggsy Bogues and Shawn Bradley having their basketball talents stolen by the Nerdlucks?
It's currently unknown if the reboot will follow a similar plotline, but considering the box office success of Jordan's Space Jam, it would be a big surprise if LeBron's didn't feature a handful of NBA stars in supporting roles.

Now, that fate is sealed as Fox bought a movie specifically for Jordan to star in.
The studio, who produced Chronicle and will also produce Fantastic Four, is so confident in his acting talent and box office draw that they acquired Men Who Kill from writer T.J.

To do this, astronomers are looking for less massive stars, where the effects of gravity from a smaller, Earth-sized planet will be easier to spot. Today, an international team of astronomers announced they have found a planet with only 3 times the mass of the Earth orbiting a tiny star that can barely support nuclear reactions.
The announcement of this new planet, known as MOA-2007-BLG-192Lb, was made at the 212th meeting of the American Astronomical Society held in St. Louis from June 1-5, 2008. Researchers from several universities, including the University of Notre Dame presented their findings.
The star is known as MOA-2007-BLG-192L, and it’s located about 3,000 light-years away. It’s probably not actually a star, with only 6% the mass of our own Sun. These objects are classified as brown dwarfs, because they don’t have enough mass to sustain nuclear reactions in the core. I say “probably” because the uncertainty of the observations might put it into the very low end of a hydrogen-burning star.
Researchers found the planet and star using the gravitational microlensing technique. This is where two stars line up perfectly from our point of view here on Earth. As the two stars begin to line up, the foreground star acts as a lens to magnify and distort the light from

Respawn will be a part of EA's big E3 press conference in some way, but details are still nebulous.
New information on an upcoming project will be teased at tomorrow's EA Play, Respawn's Vince Zampella today confirmed. Respawn, now owned by EA after being acquired for $315 million, is currently developing three major games: a new war-based VR game, a narrative-driven third-person action Star Wars game, and Titanfall 3. Which one could be teased? We're hoping for the middle one.
Following Battlefront II's big lootbox controversy and Visceral Games' closure and the cannibalization of its interesting-sounding Star Wars project (aka Project Ragtag) the Star Wars gaming market has been pretty slim. EA's exclusive license to make Star Wars games has been stretched out now that the timeline has been disrupted. Project Ragtag was to release in 2018, and Respawn's game was to launch in 2019 or 2020 (EA's FY2020 and FY2021, respectively). Considering the Star Wars game is Respawn's highest profile game in development it's possible we could get more concrete info about it at E3 2018. However the VR war game is to release in 2019...so it could be that too.
It's been a while since we last heard about Respawn's Star Wars game.

The first place to start when looking at what is a cold call is comparing warm calling to cold calling.
Cold calling refers to calling a prospect that has zero knowledge of who you are. They may know of your company but they have not reached out to you or to your company and they most likely do not know who you are.
The other important thing to think about with what is a cold call is where does the cold call fit and stop when it comes to your sales process steps.
We see the cold call sales process step as the first 2 to 5 minutes of a call with a cold prospect. This is worth discussing because there are many scenarios where you cold call a prospect and you talk to them for more than 5 minutes. When this is the case, we feel like you are either still in cold call and you are letting the call go on too long or that you have progressed to the next step in the sales process.
In most cases, the next step after a cold call will be some sort of appointment or discussion. When you cold call someone and end up talking to them for somewhere between 10 to 15 minutes, we see that as you have progressed to the appointment at the same time as the cold call and we

The icey cold weather spikes a peak in runny noses and colds, however there are a few myths that you shouldn’t believe anymore.
Running outside during the winter with wet hair might not be the warmest and most comfortable thing to do, but it isn’t the reason why you’ve caught a cold (as most people like to believe). The real cause? Viruses.
Viruses have a higher survival rate that runs from late spring to early fall. This is because viruses thrive better during a time of high humidity. But why does it seem like we often catch more colds during the winter?
Well for starters we usually aren’t crowded together indoors as often during warmer weather as we are in the harsh winter cold. With many people in the same vicinity, there’s no escaping viruses transferring. Physical transfer and airborne viruses are more susceptible to transfer from one person to another when we are packed in a mall like sardines.
Washing your hands and using alcohol hand-sanitizer help reduce the spread of germs and viruses, but recent studies have shown that airborne viruses are causing more people to become sick than physical transfer. Viruses that are airborne can’t be avoided either!
Though you won’t become sick just because you go outside with wet hair, the cold weather does weaken your immune system and can cause you to be more inclined to catching the viruses.

Why Does Cold Weather Cause Tooth Sensitivity?
Your teeth expand and contract in response to cold and hot weather. This can lead to cracks in your enamel, which is the outer layer of the teeth. When the enamel erodes, it exposes the underlying layer of the teeth, the dentin. The dentin is covered in nerve fibers, and exposure to heat, cold, or acidic substances can cause pain and sensitivity. In Seattle, there’s not too much we can do about cooler temperatures and rainy weather. But there is something you can do to help reduce pain and sensitivity.
In order to do your part to prevent cold sensitivity in teeth, you need to prevent demineralization in the enamel so the dentin doesn’t become exposed. This is easily done by staying on top of your daily dental ritual. Flossing daily, brushing twice a day for 2 minutes, and not brushing too hard will all help. If you notice that cold brings you pain, we want you to call us. There are many ways we can treat this so it won’t happen again.

Have you heard of brown fat? Sounds kinda gross, but we swear it’s not. Here’s the deal: The “bad” fat we’re all busting our butts at bootcamp to burn off is “white fat”—it basically exists to store calories (just in case we starve or something), and too much of it can raise our risk for diabetes and heart disease. But brown fat is actually cool—it stores calories for you to burn when you’re cold and your body needs to warm up, and possibly even to fuel exercise. The more brown fat you have, the theory goes, the slimmer you might get.
Anyway, a new study out this week in the journal Cell finds that exposure to cold could help your body turn white fat into brown-ish fat. (Whoa!) The study was done in mice, and the researchers found that when the mice’s white fat was exposed to cold, their immune systems sent out signaling proteins that pulled certain immune cells into the white fat—which in turn actually made the white fat cells beige and made them become little calorie-burning machines.
Research on brown (and beige!) fat is growing, so we’ll be looking forward to learning more about how we can grow our own brown fat stores. In the meantime, keep banging out those workouts—and it probably won’t hurt to take a summer dip in a cold pool (or hang around your window unit).

If the core is small, they may be similar to our planet, Neptune, which has a large gaseous envelope surrounding its core and is considered to be an ice giant planet.
The scientists expect their study of these new planets’ composition will take months or years, and that will be just the first step in discovering more about them.
The first step to understanding their formation is to determine their compositions.

The rings around planets like Jupiter and Saturn (yes Jupiter has rings!) are made up of bits of ice and rock.
They form when asteroids,comets, or any other large objects pass too close to the planet and are torn apart by the planet's gravity. There is a point around the planets called the Roche Limit. This is the point where gravity will tear apart an incoming object, and prevent the particles from re-accreting back into a larger object.
Essentially, rings are just thousands of tiny moonlets that orbit a planet and don't clump back into larger objects.
There is a problem, however, if the debris orbiting a planet orbits too closely. Because gravitational force varies with distance, the different accelerations between two points at different distances from a massive object create a tidal force that has a stretching effect on nearby objects. This force from the Sun and Moon creates tides on opposite sides of the Earth, for example. When the tidal force is large enough, it overcomes the gravitational forces trying to bring individual particles together. Within a given distance from a planet, called its 'Roche Limit', tidal forces prevent debris from aggregating into larger bodies.
Planetary rings, then, consist of millions of separate small rock and ice particles, each maintaining their own orbit around the host planet. From a distance, these small orbiting particles only APPEAR to be a continuous, solid ring.

Francois Fressin, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), presented the analysis today in a press conference at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Long Beach, Calif. A paper detailing the research has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal.
Kepler detects planetary candidates using the transit method, watching for a planet to cross its star and create a mini-eclipse that dims the star slightly. The first 16 months of the survey identified about 2,400 candidates. Astronomers then asked, how many of those signals are real, and how many planets did Kepler miss?
By simulating the Kepler survey, Fressin and his colleagues were able to correct both the impurity and the incompleteness of this list of candidates to recover the true occurrence of planets orbiting other stars, down to the size of Earth.
"There is a list of astrophysical configurations that can mimic planet signals, but altogether, they can only account for one-tenth of the huge number of Kepler candidates. All the other signals are bona-fide planets," says Fressin.

Winn and his colleagues looked to measure Kepler 78’s Doppler shift by analyzing observations from the Keck Observatory in Hawaii—one of the largest telescopes in the world. The team analyzed starlight data taken over a period of eight days. Despite the telescope’s strength, the signal from the star was incredibly faint, making a daunting task for the scientists.
Sanchis-Ojeda was able to solve this puzzle by taking into account Kepler 78’s rotational period. By tracking the frequency at which certain starspots reappeared, Sanchis-Ojeda determined that the star completes a full rotation every 12.5 days—considerably longer than the planet’s orbital period of 8.5 hours.

In June, researchers from the University of Rochester discovered a planet around a star so young that it shouldn't exist according to existing theories of planetary formation. Further observations have backed up the discovery; there's definitely a planet there which is only 100,000 to 500,000 years old. This is much too young for either of the established theories of planetary formation. In the "core accretion" model, larger and larger chunks of rock smash together for 10 million years until a large planet is formed. In the "gravitational instability" model, a cloud of material pulls together into a planet by its own gravity; this is faster, but still not fast enough to explain how the planet got there.
Intriguingly, working from the original team's data, Frank, Alice Quillen, Eric Blackman, and Peggy Varniere revealed that the planet was likely smaller than most extra-solar planets discovered thus far - about the size of Neptune. The data also suggested that this planet is about the same distance from its parent star as our own Neptune is from the Sun. Most extra-solar planets discovered to date are much larger and orbit extremely close to their parent star.
The discovered gap strongly signaled the presence of a planet. The dust in the disk is hotter in the center near the star and so radiates most of its light at shorter wavelengths than the cooler outer reaches of the disk. The research team found

There's still so much we don't know about our solar system, and as it slowly reveals more of its secrets we can't help but be star dazed. The newest information is on the discovery of a very distant dwarf planet that can help us understand how planets are formed. Meet DeeDee!
Distant Dwarf, or DeeDee for short, is located really far from our planet.
At a far corner of the solar system, DeeDee is a very important discovery for science. We received the first signals related to it in 2016 but we knew too little about its physical structure.
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) radio telescopes recently made new observations that excited scientists.
Because apparently DeeDee is a much larger object than what was previously thought and it's very surprising that it wasn't observed up to this day. Unfortunately, DeeDee doesn't fully meet the scientists' requirements to become the 9th planet of the Solar System.
DeeDee is 2/3 the size of Ceres, the largest dwarf planet in the solar system.
Just like Ceres, the largest member of the asteroid belt, DeeDee has a big enough mass to make it globe shaped. That's why it's considered to be a dwarf planet rather than an asteroid. But we still need to wait for its official categorization and naming.
DeeDee's distance to the Sun is about 85 billion miles (137 billion kilometers).
It takes 13 hours for the sun rays to reach DeeDee. That makes it the dwarf planet farthest from the Sun, after Eris.

But despite several attempts to observe more closely the mysterious object orbiting the sun at a distance of more than 14 billion kilometers, accurate estimates of its size remained elusive. Now German astronomers working in Spain have determined that UB313 has a diameter of roughly 3,000 kilometers--roughly 700 kilometers larger than Pluto's.
Frank Bertoldi of the University of Bonn in Germany and his colleagues used the IRAM 30-meter telescope in the Sierra Nevada mountains of southern Spain to observe UB313 in the infrared range. Because visual brightness alone is not an accurate indicator of size--it could result from the body's surface being either actually large or mirrorlike--the researchers made observations in wavelengths longer than those of visible light. Outside the range of visible light, the scientists could measure the amount of light the object absorbs and then radiates back as heat. By combining the infrared and visible measurements, they could then determine the object's size and its overall reflectivity, or albedo. Based on observations made over nine nights in August 2005, the team reports, UB313 appears to have a diameter of between 3,094 and 2,859 kilometers. Even the smallest size in that range would make the candidate planet's diameter more than 500 kilometers larger than Pluto's.
These calculations rely on several assumptions, however, such as UB313 lacking an atmosphere that would either reflect more light or

The project was called ‘Numerical Modelling of the Exoring System Around the Exoplanet J1407b.’ Planet J1407b can be found near the Centaurus constellation, approximately 433 light years away. That is 4.10×1018 metres, which is an unfathomable number. The planet’s “funky name” is an exoplanet, meaning it orbits another star other than our own. Like our planet, it is theorized that J1407b has a moon. Only this moon carves its way through a ring system, 200 times larger than Saturn’s!
Following this, I created a plot of gap width against the mass of the moon. To summarise, as expected, the larger the moon, the larger the gap in the exoring it creates. One of the problems with creating a graph on C++ is that the scaling can be a bit too large. This means that when looking at the graph, you can see a general trend, but not individual values accurately. So, although C++ is great for quickly doing repetitive calculations, graphs are not its strong point… Although, it could be my skills still needing improvement!

We aren't just talking about wanting to curl up under the covers when it's time to get moving; did you know that cold weather can have a big impact on how our body copes with regular exercise?
Today, we explore the ways in which winter affects our body’s performance when working out and the extra risks you need to watch out for if you’re heading out for some trampoline-based exercise in the cold.
There’s a reason that we remind you to always warm up before engaging in trampoline exercise, and this is particularly relevant in colder weather... Cold muscles have a much greater risk of injury! When we exercise in summer, the environmental heat keeps our muscles warmer for longer; therefore, icy conditions cause our muscles to cool down much more quickly.
If you’re doing ‘stop-start’ exercise routines on your Vuly trampoline, it’s important to keep note of how much you cool down in between exercises, and if you require intermittent warm up sessions. It’s also a great idea to gently stretch and warm down at the end of your trampoline workout. This can prevent your muscles from seizing up and cramping.
People with breathing difficulties, such as asthma, need to be conscious of their symptoms when heading out for trampoline exercise; rapidly breathing in cold air can be a trigger.

Stink bugs become most noticeable in late summer through fall because they try to find a warm place to spend most of their time. As the heat kicks on to warm the structure or spring arrives, stink bugs warm up too and come out of hiding.

Micro-tearing of muscle fibers also results from extended strenuous activity leading to swelling and adhesions (like strands of spaghetti stuck together). Without proper rest and stretching between exercise, muscles become increasingly fatigued and contracted. Constrictions prevent free muscle movement and literally destroy range of motion.
During massage, circulation is stimulated and muscle tissue is stretched helping muscles recover faster and more completely. Sports massage focuses on the muscle groups most used by the athlete and incorporates stretches to maintain muscle elasticity. Over the long-term, sports massage helps athletes sustain higher levels of performance and remain free of injuries.
Neglecting to warm-up can result in injury because cold muscles are less elastic and more vulnerable to damage. A proper warm-down with ample stretches helps start the muscle recovery process, re-aligning muscle fibers and preventing tightness.
As we get older, our muscles become more prone to damage due to wear and tear, so stretching and proper warm-up and warm-down become more important. Since it takes muscles longer to recover as we age, a longer rest period and more regular massage is beneficial.
Pre-event sports massage can take place from two days to two minutes before a race. Two days before, sports massage can be thorough and deep to ensure you are in optimum condition and fully recovered from any previous exercise. Shortly before an event, sports massage uses passive stretches and muscle warming techniques for maximum muscle elasticity. Some also choose to get massage the day of an athletic

The system provides heat via several parts that work together, but problems can develop if any of the parts begin to malfunction. The furnace is the main part that must be functional for heat to be produced, but it can stop working for various reasons and need to be replaced. If you are trying to determine why your system has stopped producing heat, you might need to hire a professional to pinpoint the problem on your behalf. The content below explains parts of a central heating system that might need to be replaced when no warm air is being produced.
Unless your furnace is fully electric, there are lines attached to it that are important for heat production. The lines are used for supplying oil or gas to the burner inside of the furnace. Gas or oil is necessary for helping the burner create the flame that is needed in the pilot area of the furnace, which is where combustion completes to create heat. The lines can cause problems if they become clogged up, but can usually be cleaned by a professional.

This makes it the smallest extrasolar planet yet found (two other planets have already been found orbiting that star, with 15 and 8 times Earth’s mass).
This is amazing enough! But it gets far, far better. The parent star, Gliese 581, is a red dwarf, meaning it’s smaller and cooler than the Sun. The as-yet unnamed planet orbits this star much closer than the Earth does the Sun; it stays about 11 million kilometers (6.7 million miles) from its star, while the Earth is 150 million km (93 million miles) from the Sun.
That is warm enough for water to be a liquid.
So what we may have here is a terrestrial planet with liquid water on its surface.
Let me be clear: this is not a guarantee!

If you randomly put a massive planet like Planet X in the outer solar system for a very long time, such a planet “would make The Goblin’s orbit unstable, so you’d expect The Goblin to be basically ejected out of the solar system,” Sheppard said. The stability that the team found in simulations means that the two objects will never get close or threaten to collide, and would explain why we see The Goblin today.

If the core is small, they may be similar to our planet, Neptune, which has a large gaseous envelope surrounding its core and is considered to be an ice giant planet.
The scientists expect their study of these new planets’ composition will take months or years, and that will be just the first step in discovering more about them.
The first step to understanding their formation is to determine their compositions. Are they rocky, like Earth, or do they have smaller cores surrounded by large, gaseous envelopes, like the ice giant Neptune?

Gliese 581, a red dwarf star already known to have at least one other planet, has a potentially habitable planet. It's somewhat larger than Earth (about 5 times as massive), and its average temperature appears to be well within the liquid range for water.

NASA said its Kepler mission, which was launched in March 2009 and was named after German astronomer Johannes Kepler who lived in the 17th century, has discovered the first planets, identified as Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f, which are similar in size to Earth and orbiting a sun-like star. But they are too close to their star to be in the so-called habitable zone where liquid water could exist on a planet’s surface.
The newly discovered planets, which NASA considers to be an important milestone in the ultimate search for planets like Earth, are thought to be rocky.
Kepler-20e is slightly smaller than Venus, measuring 0.87 times the radius of Earth, while Kepler-20f is slightly larger than Earth, measuring 1.03 times its radius. Both planets reside in a five-planet system called Kepler-20, approximately 1,000 light-years away in the constellation Lyra.
Kepler-20e’s and Kepler-20f’s orbital periods, which are every 6.1 days and every 19.6 days respectively, mean very hot, inhospitable worlds. Kepler-20f, at 800 degrees Fahrenheit (426 degrees Celsius), is similar to an average day on the planet Mercury.

A first analysis of the data from the magnetometer instrument, built and run by Imperial College London physicists, shows that the planet's magnetic field has a tilt of less than 0.01º. The results are published today in a special issue of Science reporting the first end-of-mission results.
It was thought that magnetic fields around planets can only form when there is a discernible tilt between the rotation axis of the planet and the magnetic field axis. This is the situation on Earth, where the magnetic poles are offset from the geographic poles.
This tilt sustains currents in a liquid metal layer deep inside a planet – on Earth this is a liquid iron-nickel layer around the solid iron core, and on Saturn it’s believed to be a metallic hydrogen layer surrounding a small rocky core.

And they find it's possible to radically change the water content of planets based on the amount of a radioactive element present in the material forming the exosolar system. The difference, they suggest, can determine whether a system is filled with ocean worlds or whether it winds up looking more like our own Solar System.

This star, estimated to be 10 million years old, is one of the closest young stars to the Earth. Thanks to the proximity and the fact that its axis of rotation points roughly in the Earth's direction, giving us a face-on-view of the developing planetary system, TW Hydrae is one of the most favorable targets for investigating planet formation.
Past observations have shown that TW Hydrae is surrounded by a disk made of tiny dust particles. This disk is the site of planet formation. Recent ALMA observations revealed multiple gaps in the disk . Some theoretical studies suggest that the gaps are evidence of planet formation.
The team observed the disk around TW Hydrae with ALMA in two radio frequencies. Since the ratio of the radio intensities in different frequencies depends on the size of the dust grains, researchers can estimate the size of dust grains. The ratio indicates that smaller, micrometer-sized, dust particles dominate and larger dust particles are absent in the most prominent gap with a radius of 22 astronomical units .

Then complexity set in, increasingly, until breathtaking designs seemingly sending complex messages were discovered and captured on film for the world to ponder. Now, in early 2005, we are back to simplicity! Is there a message in this simplicity? Most certainly, as simplicity focuses the message, eliminates confusion, like a spotlight.
The message is that Planet X is Sun centered as viewed from Earth, standing between the Earth and Sun, and this overlapping influence will soon be apparent. The time is now, not years away. What are the indications in the early 2005 season circles that this is the message? Hoeven has a measured diameter that exactly matches our description of the diameter of Planet X and Earth, which we have described as being 4 times the diameter of Earth, the larger circle 8 meters, the smaller 2 meters. Ripley has a swirl showing a clear clockwise motion, the retrograde rotation of Planet X, this swirl becoming central as it is the clash of rotation direction that is one of the prime factors in rotation slowing. St. Catherines describes a relationship between 3, the Earth, Sun, and Planet X, with Planet X assuming influence over the Earth in the same manner that the Sun holds influence over Planet X.

Prior to this, researchers believed that our Moon was created when a smaller planet referred to as Theia grazed Earth and split up, which resulted in smaller chunks (debris) being sent into space where Earths gravity captured them.
But, if this theory was correct, it would mean that the chemical composition of the moon is different from Earth since our satellite would have been made up mostly of fragments of Theia.
However, after studying moon rock samples brought back by Apollo mission astronauts, scientists from the University of California have discovered that oxygen isotopes are identical to those on Earth.
This suggests that the collision that occurred 4.5 billion years ago between Theia and Earth was so violent that it caused the two planets to meld together forming a new planet, and a chunk of the collision eventually led to the formation of our Moon.
Scientists analyzed seven lunar rocks which were brought back to Earth by the Apollo 12, 15 and 17 missions, and six volcanic rocks of the Earth’s mantle, five from Hawaii and one from Arizona. The study revealed a chemical signature in oxygen atoms which suggest that 99.9% of the oxygen of our planet is O-16, (because each atom has eight protons and eight neutrons).
But scientists also found small amounts of heavier isotopes of oxygen, O-17, which has an

In August, MIT researchers identified an exoplanet with an extremely brief orbital period: The team found that Kepler 78b, a small, intensely hot planet 700 light-years from Earth, circles its star in just 8.5 hours—lightning-quick, compared with our own planet’s leisurely 365-day orbit. From starlight data gathered by the Kepler Space Telescope, the scientists also determined that the exoplanet is about 1.2 times Earth’s size—making Kepler 78b one of the smallest exoplanets ever measured.
Winn and his colleagues, including lead author Andrew Howard, of the University of Hawaii, publish their results this week in the journal Nature. The group’s results appear in the same issue as a paper published by a separate group in Geneva, reporting similar results—scientific agreement that Winn says adds confidence to the mass measurement.
Winn and his colleagues looked to measure Kepler 78’s Doppler shift by analyzing observations from the Keck Observatory in Hawaii—one of the largest telescopes in the world. The team analyzed starlight data taken over a period of eight days. Despite the telescope’s strength, the signal from the star was incredibly faint, making a daunting task for the scientists.
Sanchis-Ojeda was able to solve this puzzle by taking into account Kepler 78’s rotational period. By tracking the frequency at which certain starspots reappeared, Sanchis-Ojeda determined that the star completes a full rotation every 12.5 days—considerably longer than the planet’s orbital period of 8.5 hours. From these measurements, Sanchis-Ojeda was able to calculate the star’s true

Megan Sandel: Understanding how energy and health are connected is a burgeoning field. We understand that the cost of energy can sometimes be particularly important because families may have to make tradeoffs, such as trading off between paying for their heat and necessarily eating enough. Or they’re trading off between paying for their heat or their electricity bill and being able to pay for medicine. And while some people may see the potential concern for some users over heating costs, they may not

If you’ve had these thoughts, renewable energy and the peace of mind that goes along with it has probably popped into your mind too. We recently spoke to Justin Schmidt, Head of Renewable Energy Africa at Absa, and got him to answer all of those pressing questions around this ever-changing source of energy.
According to Schmidt, the first thing you need to know is that this technology is not as expensive as you might think, plus it will also last a lot longer.
Before we explain why it’s a cost-effective option, it’s important to define exactly what is meant by ‘renewable energy’. Schmidt explains that this is any form of energy generated through natural processes (like sunlight) that can be replenished over a period of time. In contrast, energy that depends on finite resources such as coal or gas are called non-renewable.
The technology is tried and tested and has been massively improved over the past few years.
Over the past few years, the price of solar panels has decreased in leaps and bounds.
Climate change is affecting rainfall and climate around us. The more we move toward renewable energy sources, the more we’re able to take strain off the environment.
The Treasury has introduced tax incentives (section 12B) to allow for solar PV installations less than 1 Megawatt to be depreciated in the first year. This benefits the cash flows of the project

By misused, I mean that many people blame their “slow” metabolism for being overweight, or a “fast” metabolism for being skinny. While there are some genetic factors involved, these kind of statements about the metabolism couldn’t be further from the truth.
Your metabolism is primarily based on the amount of Fat Free Mass (FFM) you have. This only differs slightly from Lean Body Mass (LBM) in that LBM also includes some essential fat that is mostly around and in your organs.
If you have had a an accurate body composition test done then your Basal Metabolic Rate with be an amount closely related to the amount of your Lean Body Mass percentage. Basically this means that the more muscle mass you have the higher your metabolic rate will be in relation to someone your same weight, height, and gender.
Before we move ahead let’s go back and examine what your metabolism really is, before we worry how high or low it is, and if you can change it.
The majority of your metabolism revolves around simply staying alive. Your organs use up anywhere from 60-75% of the daily energy you consume. Men generally have bigger organs than women which accounts for their slightly higher metabolic rate. That and the fact that men generally carry more muscle mass than woman. Your body also has to stay within an optimal temperature range to function well. These factors make up the vast majority of what we call a metabolic rate.

It’s often here that you discover why forgiveness is the ultimate personal growth tool to have in your arsenal.
When you’re dealing with any situation that you need to work through, you always have to reach forgiveness at the end, whether you’re forgiving someone else, God, society or yourself.
By skipping to the end you shortcut the amount of time you’ll spend on an issue, and the energy you’ll waste trying to understand it and figure it out.
When you really forgive someone or something, understanding the ‘why’ of the situation and what really happened won’t matter to you anymore – the act of forgiveness relieves the relevance for you.
So this means you don’t have to waste hours, days, weeks and months running it over in your head and trying to understand: the moment you let go it won’t matter to you anymore.
In addition, forgiveness is a spiritual tool, and like all spiritual tools it will relieve the issue at all the levels below it.

They will often exert themselves in order to ensure that they are able to finish the bowl of food that is in front of them but what if it was taken away by an unusual circumstance? You are about to see the results.
The progression of pictures that you are about to see show something that is rather amazing and quite humorous as well. It starts out when a cat was given a bowl of food on the front porch and they were probably really excited about the opportunity to have something to eat. It wasn’t long, however, before they had an unwelcome visitor and that visitor came up and started eating the food without

I am not ashamed to admit that I LOVE the aquarium. One of my favorites is the Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut. I like the layout and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that they have beluga whales. They are such beautiful creatures and Juno, the younger of the 2, has quite the personality. He poses for selfies, photobombs, and starts trouble with the patrons. I recently went to an adults only evening that they have periodically called “Cocktails with Whales” and it is every bit as amazing as it sounds.
First of all, it’s only $10. That gets you in the door to socialize with your friends, coworkers, strangers, and the whales. There is a cash bar and prices are average priced. I nursed my $8 drink the whole 2 hours we were there. People, as a whole were friendly and courteous. Of course everyone wants to be near the tank and get their selfie with the whales but most were pretty considerate of others and moved along after a few minutes so others could have their chance.
Juno did not disappoint. He entertained everyone for 2 full hours. Coming up behind people and smiling, splashing us, and at one point, looking like he wanted to fight one woman. In talking with one of the employees, I learned that Juno loves attention and has quite the personality, He is 16 and is very much “a punk teenager”.

Let the story tell the story. Your first draft is just that, a first draft, a blueprint to build upon.
Sure, the industry looks at word count often but it’s the story that sells. Writing Flash Fiction does something great for your skills. Write a scene as you normally would, then strip it down to under 600 words or 300 words. If you can do this and still convey everything the reader needs to know and feel, then you have accomplished your mission and saved your Agent/Editor and yourself a lot of work later on.

Several factors go into making good air quality forecasts, because so many weather events influence air pollution. As Houston heats up and air quality becomes a greater concern this summer, we wanted to talk a little about what air pollution is, and the part weather plays in it.
Air pollution consists of two types: primary and secondary. Primary pollution comes directly from a source, like car and ship exhaust, power plant emissions, fires, etc. Secondary pollutants, on the other hand, aren’t emitted directly into the air. Instead, chemical reactions in the atmosphere create these pollutants. Ozone, for example, forms when sunlight interacts with nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and other “volatile organic compounds”, or VOCs. Ozone in the stratosphere (think of the ‘ozone hole’) acts as an invisible sunscreen layer for earth, preventing UV rays from reaching the surface. However, ozone near the surface, or ‘smog’, acts as a respiratory irritant. The more sunlight we get during a day, the more potential there is for smog.
Knowing where pollution comes from plays into forecasting pollution. For example, we know that, because of car emissions, weekdays are worse than weekends, and pollution is worse during morning and evening commutes. Houston, which already has a regional population of 6.7 million people, also deals with emissions from refineries,factories, and the ship channel.
Several weather patterns and phenomena influence how bad air pollution will be on a given day. Wind is obviously the biggest factor. Strong winds will blow away pollutants

Researchers from University of Utah in the US conducted a study to determine if homeowners change the way they live if they could visualise the microscopic air pollutants in their homes.
"The idea behind this study was to help people understand something about this invisible air quality in their home," said Jason Wiese, an assistant professor at University of Utah.
Researchers built a series of portable air quality monitors with Wi-Fi and connected them to a server. Three sensors were placed in each of six homes from four to 11 months in 2017 and 2018. Two were placed in different, high-traffic areas of the house such as the kitchen or a bedroom and one outside on or near the porch.
Each minute, each sensor automatically measured the air for PM 2.5 -- a measurement of tiny particles or droplets in the air that are 2.5 microns or less in width -- and sent the data to the server.
The data could then be viewed by the homeowner on a tablet that displayed the air pollution measurements in each room as a line graph over a 24-hour period. Participants in the study could see up to 30 days of air pollution data.
To help identify when there might be spikes in the air pollution, homeowners were given a voice-activated speaker so they could tell the server to label a particular moment in

There are many traps and the results may loose a lot of quality compared to what you expected.
First, you must be seated near a window (and on the right side) and you must avoid the presence of the wing and/or an engine which could reduce the view. Choose your seat wisely at check-in time or politely negotiate with the passenger better seated.
The engines of the plane produce a lot of air turbulence that is very perceptible just behind them. Seat sufficiently in front (unfortunately, the more expensive seat are often in the front of the plane).
Air moisture and dust are less problematic at high altitude than at ground level, but you will probably shoot your landscapes from very far. Only when the sky is very clear can you try a flight. Then you would limit the atmospheric veil to its minimum. It’s even better to fly early in the morning (the light is nicer and the air moisture is still mostly on the ground). Chance must fly with you (or you will have to compensate with perseverance).

NWCAA urges residents to limit burning as much as possible to avoid another burn ban in the near future.
During a Stage 1 burn ban, all burning in fireplaces or uncertified woodstoves is prohibited unless you qualify for an exemption from NWCAA. (See http://nwcleanairwa.gov/wood-heating-exemption-forms/ for more information.) No outdoor burning is allowed, including residential, agricultural and forest burning.
Burn ban violators could face fines and other enforcement actions. In addition, remember that it is always illegal to emit excess chimney smoke that impacts your neighbors. It is also illegal to burn trash.
Burn bans are based on weather forecasts and current air pollution from small particles. They are called when air quality is predicted to be worse than the national health-based standard for at least 24 hours.
Fine particles in wood smoke are harmful because they can be inhaled deeply into lungs and damage delicate tissues. Smoke pollution can trigger asthma attacks, cause difficulty breathing, and make lung and heart problems worse. Air pollution is especially harmful to children, people with heart and lung problems, and adults age 65 and older.
Check www.waburnbans.net or NWCAA’s website (www.nwcleanairwa.gov) for up-to-date burn ban information.

More than half the world’s population now live in cities. In the near future, this will reach two thirds. This is because more people move from rural areas to cities. There will be more cars on the roads, more traffic near homes and workplaces, and less green space.
City inhabitants are already suffering from fumes and smog on their daily commutes. It’s healthier for some people to stay inside rather than walk outside and breathe polluted air.
Nation, political leaders, experts and campaigning organizations want to reduce air pollution to improve people’s health. This problem might be solved by rethinking the way cities work changing how to design cities in the future.
Air pollution is considered “the silent killer” because it is a major environmental risk to health. By reducing its levels, countries can reduce strokes, heart diseases and lung cancer.
Nowadays there are different efforts to reduce emissions or develop cleaner and more efficient fuels. Lawmakers apply taxes and ban older cars on cities. The car industry is producing hybrid and electric vehicles, which are more environmentally friendly.

We've all seen the flyers promising a full house air duct cleaning for $99 or even lower. Don't believe it. No reputable company will work for three to four hours (the average amount of time to clean a home's air duct system) for that amount of money. They can't afford to. So what is that low price about? At best, it's about attracting customers, and it is deceptive. Maybe you'll find out when the technician inspects your system that the price advertised does not include the services that you need. Suddenly, you'll need to pay a great deal more for the cleaning. Or even worse, the technician may spend a few minutes vacuuming out your vents, without giving the full cleaning service that your HVAC system needs for best performance. And it may even make your indoor air quality worse. Reputable air duct cleaners know the worth of their service, and they charge fair and competitive prices.
Sometimes your friends, family or neighbors have gone through this process themselves. Ask for their recommendations. Feel free to speak to more than one company, so you can compare their prices and qualifications before you decide.

Porsche corporate — the company — just announced that it will expect all 190 of its U.S. stores to install high-voltage fast chargers at a cost of $300,000-$400,000 per store as part of the company’s “commitment” to “electrify” half its product portfolio by 2025.
The problem — which Porsche openly concedes — is that while electric Porsches are fast, they’re slower than a ’72 Pinto with a slipping transmission when it comes to recharging.
Electric cars can’t go as far as gas-engined cars, even very thirsty ones. A 911 Turbo averages about 20 MPG (19 city, 24 highway) but it can still go between 340 and 429 miles (city/highway) on a full tank — which is at least 100-150 miles farther than the longest-legged electric car currently on the market, a Tesla S.
And the range touted by Tesla and other EV advocates should always be taken with two big spoonfuls of salt — because it’s much more variable than the range of a gas-engined car. For example, electric cars are more affected by heat — and cold — in part because power-using accessories such as AC and heat are powered by electricity and take a lot of electricity to power. Use these accessories and your range decreases.

If the car is driven fast then the sound waves behind are stretched out and those in front are bunched up. If you listen to a fast car going past you then the note changes.

This diagram is exaggerated. The car would have to be traveling very fast for the sound waves to bunch up this much.
Early last century astronomers examining light from distant galaxies noticed that in most cases the patterns were shifted into the red end of the spectrum. The characteristic lines of absorption spectra stayed in the same pattern but were shifted into different colours.

Aside from providing compensation to affected owners and agreeing to invest $2 billion in electric car infrastructure in the United States, Volkswagen is going to build a “nationwide 150kW+ fast charging network” in the country.
It was reported last month that Volkswagen was going to install super-fast 320kW chargers for electric cars in California. The latest plan released by VW and the EPA shows that the company is also going to install chargers throughout the country.
VW is going to set up a nationwide 150kW+ fast-charging network for electric cars along highways. This is going to take the pain out of long cross-country journeys for most electric car owners who may suffer from range anxiety when they set out on a long road trip without knowing for sure if there will be charging stations along the way.
For this purpose, VW is going to set up a new subsidiary called Electrify America which is going to built this network independent of the automotive giant. The chargers are not going to be proprietary to VW and will rely on Combined Charging System (CCS), CHAdeMO and open protocols such as the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP).
The first fast-charging stations being set up by Electrify America will be operational by Q2 2018.

This has blurred the line between private and public as often-intimate and occasionally blustering phone conversations have now become a common part of the background noise during bus rides, grocery shopping excursions, picnics, sidewalk strolls, waits in airport terminals and many other public venues.
To see how people are responding to these changes, people were asked about their views on general cellphone etiquette in public. About three-quarters of all adults, including those who do not use cellphones, say that it is “generally OK” to use cellphones in unavoidably public areas, such as when walking down the street, while on public transportation or while waiting in line. At the same time, the majority of Americans do not think it is generally acceptable to use cellphones in restaurants or at family dinners. Most also oppose cellphone use in meetings, places where others are usually quiet (such as a movie theater), or at church or worship service.
It is important to note that the survey did not specify what “using a cellphone” meant, and so the question was open to interpretation. It is possible that people who use their phones more often and in more diverse ways may have wider definition of what “cellphone use” entails, including less intrusive or more social activities such as sending a text message, checking email or taking a photo. Clearly, less frequent users and non-users may more strongly associate the idea of “cell use” with voice calls, which may be seen as more disruptive.

Could childhood infections double cancer risk?
Younger brothers and sisters are usually considered pests for their whining and fighting. Now it seems they could also be a factor in whether older siblings grow a brain tumour.
The cause of brain tumours is a long-standing and impenetrable mystery, because they are very rare and it is difficult to collect together enough cases to find a common cause. But one idea is that viral infections are involved, as they are in causing cervical and other cancers.
To explore this, a team led by Andrea Altieri of the German Cancer Research Centre in Heidelberg, studied the number of brothers and sisters a person has as a surrogate measure for the number of infections they suffered. The idea, used by epidemiologists before, is that a greater number of snotty siblings generally exposes a child to more viruses.
The team found that people with four or more siblings (either younger or older) were twice as likely to have developed certain types of brain and nervous-system tumours than those with no siblings.
Sibling count is "one of the highest risk factors we know for nervous-system cancers," Altieri says.
The team analysed more than 13,600 cases of nervous-system tumours in a Swedish cancer database, one of the largest family cancer registries in the world.

Patients who undergo bariatric surgery dramatically reduce their risks for a variety of health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and sleep apnea.

They seem to have the fundamental conviction that they are destined for a superior and esteemed position in life.
Aurum people pray as a result of different psychological states and for different reasons. In certain cases they themselves have difficulty explaining and understanding their need for prayer. It is usually manifest in younger people: they pray and pray for hours, being unable to stop without really knowing why. The fact of the matter is that they are unconsciously depressed, dejected, and disappointed by life. If one inquires about the possibility of prayer with seriousness and concern, they may confess their need. They find that praying diverts their attention from their background depression, enough to almost provide them with a deep sense of relief and joy. The compulsion to pray in such a fashion – for hours on end without stop – occurs several years before the deep suicidal depression appears.

Since health care providers generally don't look for Alzheimer's disease in younger people, getting an accurate diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's can be a long and frustrating process. Symptoms may be incorrectly attributed to stress or there may be conflicting diagnoses from different health care professionals. People who have early-onset Alzheimer's may be in any stage of dementia — early stage, middle stage or late stage. The disease affects each person differently and symptoms will vary.
Have a comprehensive medical evaluation with a doctor who specializes in Alzheimer's disease. Getting a diagnosis involves a medical exam and possibly cognitive tests, a neurological exam and/or brain imaging. Contact your local Alzheimer's Association for a referral.
Doctors do not understand why most cases of early-onset Alzheimer's appear at such a young age. But in a few hundred families worldwide, scientists have pinpointed several rare genes that directly cause Alzheimer's. People who inherit these rare genes tend to develop symptoms in their 30s, 40s and 50s. When Alzheimer's disease is caused by deterministic genes, it is called “familial Alzheimer's disease,” and many family members in multiple generations are affected.

Policies through work are a great benefit to have, but are usually limited to one- or two-times your salary or a fixed amount like $50,000.

Over the past five years one of the major issues in the Australian economy has been the rise of underemployment given it is strongly linked with the ongoing weak growth of wages. The latest Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (Hilda) survey undertook a deep dive into the make-up of the underemployed. And while the news is generally bad for younger workers, the good news is that, for most, underemployment is not a long-term situation.
But while it is unsurprising that underemployment rises in time of recession, the rise over the past few years has been perplexing – especially as unemployment was generally falling.
The latest Hilda survey has sought to investigate who is being affected by this rise in underemployment and whether or not it is an issue that has long-term consequences for workers.
Now a big reason for this is that younger workers are more likely to work part-time, and given underemployment is mostly part-time workers seeking more hours (as opposed to full-time workers who are working less than they would like), generally when you have more part-time workers, you will have more underemployed.
The Hilda survey also found that underemployed workers are somewhat ironically more likely to be working multiple jobs than others. Just over 8% of all workers work multiple jobs, however 10.9% of those who are underemployed do so.

A survey conducted a few years ago by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that only 38 percent of the individuals surveyed correctly identified the symptoms of stroke and knew to call 911 if they suspected a stroke in progress.
Stroke is the nation's fifth leading cause of death, and the 4th leading cause of death in Virginia.
On average, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds.
A stroke occurs when there is bleeding in the brain or normal blood flow to the brain is blocked. Within minutes, brain cells start dying. Fast diagnosis and treatment of a stroke is critical in saving as much brain function as possible.
Patients who arrive at the Emergency Department within 24 hours of their initial symptoms tend to be significantly healthier and less disabled after a stroke than those whose care was delayed.
Growing statistical evidence shows that older adults aren't the only people who should be concerned about stroke. Stroke occurrence has risen significantly in younger adults in the 20 to 55 age group, making many more people vulnerable. In fact, a little more than one-third of the people hospitalized for stroke last year were younger than age 65.

For people driving EVs, it means a raft of changes: plugging in at night instead of hitting the gas station, keeping an eye on a battery meter instead of a fuel gauge, and most importantly, a change in the way they drive.
To get the maximum benefit out of driving an electric car, the accelerator (you can’t call it a gas pedal anymore!) controls both the speeding up and slowing down. Pressing the pedal makes the car go, as usual, but lifting your foot makes the car slow down, hard, not coast.
It’s a quirk that takes some getting used to. At first, it can feel like the parking brake has been accidentally left on. But most drivers eventually prefer it because it makes inching forward in traffic much easier than swapping your foot back and forth between pedals.
In a conventional car, brake pads clamp onto a metal disc, with friction converting the kinetic energy of a speeding car into wasted heat. But when electric cars slow down, the electric motor runs as a generator, recovering some of that previously wasted energy to top up the battery. Depending on how much regeneration the software engineers allow when designing the car, the force can be powerful enough to slow the car most of the way to zero, meaning drivers only need to use the brake pedal to come to a full stop.

One of the first signs you may notice when your timing belt is failing is the presence of loud noises coming from the engine. At first, you may hear a loud shrieking sound whenever you try to speed up going down the highway. This high-pitched noise is likely caused by a worn belt slipping on the pulleys.
As the timing belt wears down even more, it may start jumping off of the pulleys, causing the loose belt to slap against adjoining parts. Each time it hits, you will start hearing a clicking sound coming from under your hood.
The frequency of these clicking noises will change depending on how fast you are going, with high speeds making them heard in rapid succession. As you slow down, the sounds will slow down as well.

I shot the video below on the skid pad at Thunderhill between coaching sessions.
The first part shows an exterior view of some switchbacks. It’s sort of comical how slow I’m going and how little my car looks like a racecar. But even at slow speeds it will slide around corners.

Answer: A car battery isn’t very different from a regular battery. If the battery in your cell phone dies, you’re not going to be making any calls. When your car battery is dead, your car isn’t going to start.
Car batteries last an average of three to five years, but there are a few factors that can affect that length. The first is driving habits. If you regularly drive for 20 minutes or less, your battery does not fully charge, which will cause it to fail sooner.
The second is climate. Many people associate dead batteries with the winter months, but summer’s heat actually has a greater effect on battery life. According to the Car Care Council, heat causes battery fluid to evaporate, which damages the internal structure of the battery. That’s slow death for a battery.
In hotter temperatures, your car battery requires a higher charge rate, which can lead to an accelerated loss of active material from the positive lead plates, increased grid corrosion and water loss. All of this adds up to a battery that’s on borrowed time.
Your engine doesn’t start immediately or it cranks slowly.
Some electrical components aren’t functioning when you try to start the vehicle.
You need a jump start to get your car running.

Try to watch what’s going on a few cars ahead of you. If you notice tail lights a block away, you’ll be more ready to slow down when you get there, even if the car in front of you hasn’t started slowing down yet.
It may be surprising, but slow drivers can be just as dangerous as fast drivers. Any time you are on the road, pay attention to the general flow of traffic around you. Try to maintain a speed that keeps you moving along comfortably with the other cars.
Be aware of where you are in relation to the cars around you. A good rule of thumb is that if you can’t see the eyes of the driver beside you, that driver probably can’t see you. Staying in their line of sight will keep them from changing lanes into you or cutting you off unexpectedly.
According to Groth & Associates – Car Accident Injury Lawyers, you should always have at least a half car length between you and the car in front of you. When you’re following too closely, a sudden surprise slowdown or stop could end in a collision. Give yourself room to slow down comfortably no matter what happens.

In this Toyota Prius review you will learn why this hybrid is considered by many one of the best hybrid cars and how despite its small size, can be the right fit for a small family.
Although the Toyota Prius hybrid car has a sleek and sporty design, it does not seem to have the power of a sports car, or even the power of a similar non-hybrid family car. It does have a slow acceleration. However, once it gets moving the Prius drives like any other small car whether on the freeway or city streets. Eventually you will get used to the slow start and forget that you are driving a car with a different engine system than the standard small car.
The cost savings over the life of the car makes up for any drawbacks to driving and owning a hybrid car. For example, as advertised the 2010 Prius does regularly get 48 miles to the gallon. In addition, it’s not uncommon during long drives on the freeway to reach over 50 miles to the gallon. For families that take regular road trips, the gas savings can make a significant difference in the vacation budget.

For drifting you must have a rear wheel drive car or a four wheel drive car which has most of the power going to the rear wheels. Assuming you want to go into drifting on a budget you will need a car you can afford to break and repair easily. You will have lots of crashes, and mistakes when you are starting out so something like a Ford Sierra or an older American car will have a ready supply of cheap parts.
The only essential modifications for drifting are the Diff and suspension. Obviously weight reduction and increasing the power output of the engine would be nice but on a budget and while you are learning these are unimportant.
Patience, steady control and very deliberate slow throttle and steering controls are the difference between hacking a car around and drifting.

When going in a straight line both cotton reels rotate at the same speed. But when on a curve the reel on the outside needs to rotate faster than the inner reel otherwise it will just be slipping over the surface and not gripping.

The easiest way to pass someone is to get a better exit off the previous corner, drag race them down the straightaway, get a run, pull out of the draft, and pass them in the braking zone. To make this happen, you will most often need to “back the corner up” (be patient on the entry, braking a little early) and focus on trying to get a really, really good exit off the corner (getting to full throttle very quickly) and thus getting a great run down the straightaway.
Let’s take Turn 7 at Road Atlanta, for example. That is a perfect place to really focus on the exit, and it leads right into a great passing area in Turn 10a. Brake a touch early into Turn 7, slow the car in the center of the corner, then get the car lined up straight (rotated), and get to full throttle way sooner than the guy ahead you are racing… don’t get sucked into over-driving the entry to Turn 7 because you want to get past the guy in front of you RIGHT NOW!

As the heroic head rooster on the farm you’re obliged to solve the chick population problem by giving the hens a little action. To do this you have to tap near the hens and watch as they partake in a short and clever animation session of jump rope or something like it.
Being the man of many hens doesn’t come without its trials though, and keeping the hens laying and happy isn’t any old walk in the park. There’s an elderly brown rooster at your heels and ready to give you a beating unless you place feed in front of him on time. There’s also a dog happy to ruffle your feathers if you try anything while he’s awake. Apparently the farm is full of enemies ready to stick their nose in your business.
To gain victory over these nosy troublemakers you have to tap your rooster to different parts of the farm strategically, picking up bonuses and dropping them in front of enemies just as they approach. Avoid all the wrong things while giving the hens all the right things at just the right time.
The resulting game is a kind of modern day Pac Man where the half circled bad guys take the shape of farm animals and

But as the global population soars, so does the demand for food (yes, even broccoli)—and the path from farm to plate is getting ever more tenuous. Despite growing need, there are fewer U.S. farmers, and those that are still in the profession are getting older. Many of their children are hesitant to take over the reins of the family farm, opting to leave their rural hometowns for potentially greener pastures.
According to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) farm census numbers, the average age of a principal farm operator is now 58 years old—just six percent are under the age of 35. And the number of new farmers—those who have been on their current operation fewer than 10 years—is down 20 percent between 2007 and 2012.

That’s a warning from Chinese agricultural journalist Zhou Siyu, in his fine 2012 outlook story about his country’s projected agricultural fortunes, published in the China Daily.
Zhou, who visited Guelph in September as a participant in the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists congress, says China’s farmers are fighting a battle on two fronts.
“They are simultaneously contending with a surge in demand stemming from the ever-increasing population, and with a decrease in the amount of arable land, water and other natural resources that can be exploited, ” he says.
According to Zhou, the country’s looming troubles help explain why it has imported more agricultural goods in recent years. Not until 1996 did the country begin to import soybeans. By 2010, though, China was bringing in 54.8 million tons of soybeans a year, making it the largest importer of that farm product in the world.
Here’s the Canadian angle: in 2011, China surpassed Canada to become the largest importer of US agricultural goods. It’s a very hungry country. And, says Zhou, it’s spending a lot of money on food, with its imports helping keep economies such as the US afloat.
That’s why the world can’t afford China to fail, says Zhou. Globally, who else is spending money?

And, although nutrition can cope or even help with a mediocre farm health status, or even untrained staff and below-par facilities, the one thing that cannot fix is a mixed genetic population.
Certain farms enjoy breeding and cross-breeding their own genetics, which I consider a noble exercise, but when it becomes a self-indulging purpose, it negates any nutrition effort to feed commercial (terminal) animals efficiently. It is not rare for a farm to have four or even more breeds of animals, all intermixed in the same facilities, while cross-bred animals are constantly and even randomly produced. I understand there is a certain thrill there and, in fact, I know this is how the first genetics advances were achieved. But I am focusing here in commercial operations that produce their own market animals and not modern genetics businesses.
When faced with a mixed population, a nutritionist cannot create any reasonable nutrition program to feed any animal efficiently. At best, a medium animal is envisioned, resulting in the paradox where no such animal exists and as such some animals are underfed whereas the rest are overfed.

Farm workers, however, tend to be socially, geographically, and economically disadvantaged. They often labor in rural areas, and are therefore physically invisible to the majority of Americans. Farm workers tend to be racial and ethnic minorities, and are often immigrants. They are often poorly compensated for their labor. The multiple forms of oppression that they experience further contribute to their isolation and invisibility. Similar to the rest of the U.S., farm workers in Idaho face social and economic challenges. While Idaho farm workers face long hours, low wages, and inadequate housing, they continue to produce for the consumption habits of Americans, as well as for global markets.

Every 1.5 millionths of a second, the Sun releases more energy than all humans consume in an entire year. Without the Sun there would be no light, no warmth, and no life.
Its heat influences the environments of all the planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and comets in our solar system.
How does a big ball of hydrogen create all that heat? The short answer is that it is big. If it were smaller, it would be just be a sphere of hydrogen, like Jupiter.
But the Sun is much bigger than Jupiter. It would take almost 1,000 Jupiters to fill it up!
That’s a lot of hydrogen. That means it’s held together by a whole lot of gravity. And THAT means there is a whole lot of pressure inside of it.
In fact, the pressure is so intense, and the density so great, that the hydrogen atoms collide with enough force that they literally meld into a new element—helium.
This process—called nuclear fusion—releases energy while creating a chain reaction that allows it to occur over and over and over again.
That energy builds up. It gets as hot as 27 million degrees Fahrenheit in the sun’s core. The energy travels outward through a large area called the convective zone. Then it travels onward to the photosphere, where it emits heat, charged particles, and light.

He talks about his experiences, but also looks ahead to the future.
Plenty is still to be done closer to home in Europe as well. “Everyone has their own methods, but if you’re doing it right, you’ll make weekly schedules.

To avoid the rising price of cardboard, the sector could decide to choose crates, something Frits researched with Willem Kokkeel some years ago. The benefit of crates is that they should save energy. Because air circulation is better, up to 30 per cent less energy is used during ripening. “That’s massive, but it’s not really getting through to people yet, because there are a few bottlenecks,” Frits says.

When objects vibrate, they create pressure waves that alternately compress and decompress molecules as the wave travels through the medium. Sound waves radiate in all directions away from the source, for example, ripples on the surface of a pond.
Sound waves are typically described by two basic components: Amplitude and Frequency.
Amplitude describes the “loudness” or amount of energy that is in the waves.
Frequency is the number of times a single wave passes through a reference point. The more often the waves passing by, the higher the frequency. Frequency is a critical in Acoustic Larvicide©. Using the correct frequency leads to an effect called “resonance”. Matching the resonant frequency of a material means that energy can be built up to a greater extent.
For example, a swing set at the park uses the principles of resonance to reach its heights. Energy is stored up gradually as the legs are swung at the resonance of the swing set. Resonance is also the effect used to break a wine glass using only sound. When resonance is achieved, it can be a powerful tool.
Every mosquito contains small amounts of air in the dorsal tracheal trunk. These air bubbles come in various sizes depending on the species of the mosquito.
The objective of Acoustic Larvicide© is to sweep through a range of frequencies that will resonate with the air bubbles. The air absorbs this energy and starts to vibrate and ruptures the membrane of

The new 3500R e-chain series, which is based on the proven two-piece energy chain family E2/000, enables long travels of up to 150m at speeds of up to 4m/s with low additional loads to be achieved cost-effectively. It is particularly suitable for applications where travel is too long for a pure sliding application, and where a robust P4 roller energy chain is over-dimensioned due its weight.
The low friction roller system safely drives energy cables and is said to be especially energy-efficient compared to sliding solutions, achieving travels more economically. Further advantages include high levels of safety, durability and abrasion resistance, combined with low noise levels.
The easy-to-install energy chain can be opened from the external radius and is adjustable to suit any horizontal application thanks to its modular interior separation. The modular design of the roller chain link allows the use of all widths of the standard 3500 series, from 50 to 250mm. All 3500R series energy chains are part of the comprehensive modular system and are therefore delivered from stock.

How is it measured...and why has it fluctuated during the course of geologic time? And why is it not even across the globe? As you watch the following quick video, make a list of forces mentioned that influence sea level. The video clip (3:25) was published on Nov. 25, 2013, by MinutePhysics.
Sea level seems like a pretty easy concept, right? You just measure the average level of the oceans and that's that. But what about parts of the Earth where there aren't oceans? For example, when we say that Mt. Everest is 8850m above sea level, how do we know what sea level would be beneath Mt. Everest, since there's no sea for hundreds of kilometers? If the Earth were flat, then things would be easy - we'd just draw a straight line through the average height of the oceans and be done with it. But the Earth isn't flat.
If the Earth were spherical, it would be easy, too, because we could just measure the average distance from the center of the Earth to the surface of the ocean. But the Earth isn't spherical - it's spinning, so bits closer to the equator are "thrown out" by centrifugal effects, and the poles get squashed in a bit.

As I have already explained, Rahmstorf claims in his 2011 paper (which I will refer to as R2011), that his model is “robust,” meaning that variations of historical 20th century input sea level data yield essentially the same sea level rise projections for the 21st century.

For the moment, let’s leave aside the larger debate about how much the water actually will rise. Zillow’s worst-case scenario is based on a study The Washington Post wrote about earlier this year, in which scientists projected that sea levels could be six feet higher by the end of this century — nearly twice as much as previously predicted — if carbon dioxide emissions continue unabated. Sharp cuts in greenhouse gas emissions in coming decades could lessen the impact, however, leaving the increase closer to two feet.

The clear skies will allow overnight lows to drop to near the freezing mark through the end of next week. The only possible bump could be late next week as a low pressure center could drop back in from the northeast, but unless it cuts back farther to the west than the models are presently showing, all it will do for us is cool us down a bit.
Why is it colder higher up in the atmosphere? We are, after all, closer to the sun up there. But the difference in the distance is so minute (the top of Mt. Everest is about .000005% closer to the sun than sea level), that it becomes a non-factor. But thermodynamics play a much bigger role. The air pressure drops as you gain altitude.

Watching a high tide temporarily swallow up a marsh you feel amazed at how many different species have evolved to live in an environment that is not fully terrestrial or aquatic, and it reminds you the delicate balance that must occur for marshes to persist through time. Persistence of a marsh is a balancing act between inputs which increase marsh elevation and keep it partially dry (accretion, organic matter inputs, tectonic uplift) and processes that decrease marsh elevation (erosion, compaction, and subsidence) relative to sea level. The magnitude of these effects can be measured in millimeters a year. If processes that increase marsh elevation outpace those that decrease it, marshes transition into uplands. If processes that decrease marsh elevation outpace marsh inputs, then a marsh can transition to mudflat. The graphic below illustrates the key processes that effect marsh elevation and persistence: accretion, organic matter input, tectonic uplift, erosion, compaction, subsidence and sea-level rise.
If you are one of the many people who lives near the coast you likely live closer to a marsh then realize. So next time you are aching for a dose of natural beauty and wildlife look no further then your closest marsh.

Venus is significantly closer to the Sun than the Earth. Did it lose its water or never have it. Mars still has some vestigial water. But could they have had more. Could the Earth have had more? Could it just as easily have ten times as much water or a tenth?
Ten times, to first approximation gives an average depth of 30,000 metres, so no islands at all. How common are pue water worlds of this kinds? Would they have ice caps? (I'd guess not.) Doubling the amount of water would raise the sea level by 3000 metres. That would still make Mount Everest a substantial mountain at a height of about 5700 metres above sea level, but what percentage of the world would be dry land? I am sure I have talked before about my wish to see an atlas of the Earth with different sea levels, both higher and lower than at present. I'd guess that there wouldn't be that great a percentage above the raised sea level. The Tibetan Plateau though has an average height of ~4500 metres, so would be well about the sea level and is three times the size of metropolitan France.

Retrieved Text: That is the conclusion of an international team of researchers lead by Dr. Jochen Hinkel from the Global Climate Forum (GCF) in Berlin and addressed in a paper published today in the journal Nature Climate Change.
“Sea-levels may rise substantially above 1 or even 2 meters during the 21stcentury,” explains Dr. Hinkel, and hence an important question is, to what extent are coastal societies able to adapt.
Dr. Hinkel and his team had a closer look in a set of case studies, including Bangladesh, Catalonia, Ho Chi Minh City, The Maldives, New York City and The Netherlands, and found that the ability of coastal societies to adapt is mainly determined by social rather than technical challenges.
Generally, engineering technology is available worldwide for protecting coastal societies even against 2 meters of sea-level rise. For densely populated coastal areas and cities this is even economically favourable: protection is much cheaper than doing nothing and suffering damages through coastal floods.
What makes coastal adaptation difficult is the lack of access to finance and conflicts of interests amongst the diverse users of the coastal zone. For example, in Bangladesh, Ho Chi Minh City and New York City it is difficult to mobilize sufficient financial resources for adaptation, even though adaptation is economically favourable. Furthermore, in many cases, the team found conflicts between coastal communities receiving public support for adaptation and those paying for this through taxes.
“The core challenge concerning adaptation to sea-level rise is not whether we can technically adapt, but rather how much this will cost, whether societies are willing to finance

This idea is the start of our investigation using a few different loops of ribbon and rope. The ropes are made into loops by melting and joining the two ends together and then hang limply until put into motion. The behavior of the rope as it hangs stationary and limp versus when it is put into motion is quite remarkable.
The closest analogy that might help to understand what is going on would be to imagine throwing rock in a moving stream or river. The waves traveling upstream would slow down and if the stream would be fast enough, the waves wouldn’t be able to move in that direction at all. The waves headed downstream would move very fast since both speeds would be in the same direction.

[T]he streaming execution engine has strong consistency guarantees and provides a windowing model that is even more advanced than the one in Spark Streaming, but there is still a distinct batch execution engine that is capable of performing additional optimizations to pipelines that do not process streaming data. Crucially, the client API for the batch and the stream processing engines are identical, so that any operation that can be performed in one context can also be performed in the other, and moving a pipeline from batch mode to streaming mode should be as seamless as possible.
Essentially, Dataflow should make it easier to build reliable big data pipelines than previous architectural models, which often involved managing Hadoop MapReduce for batch processing and something like Storm for stream processing. Running Dataflow on Spark means there is a single set of APIs and a single processing engine, which happens to be significantly faster than MapReduce for most jobs.

When you place a ping-pong ball on the stream of hot air blasting out of a hair dryer pointed upwards, Bernoulli’s principle explains what’s going on. As the floating ball drifts towards the side of the air stream, it interferes and causes the moving air there to slow down, which in turn increases the forces that push it back towards the centre, creating an equilibrium that traps the ball in mid-air.

The blasting process provides a fast and even light etching to remove only the chipped lacquer on virtually new wheels, whilst being capable of etching right back to bare metal if required. And, unlike traditional disc sanders, it allows both easy penetration of the blast media stream between the spokes and also very precise localised etching.
A pressure feed blast system is available as an option for intensive blasting or when needing to strip a wheel back to bare metal. The blast media is stored within a pressure pot and falls through a valve into a compressed air stream within the blast hose. It is then accelerated through the blast nozzle to impact upon the wheel. The pressure feed system produces faster moving blast media and offers cycle times that can be up to four times faster than a suction feed system for tougher blasting applications.

(CNN) -- New materials with the ability to manipulate the speed of light could enable the creation of a "space-time cloak" capable of masking events or even creating an illusion of "Star Trek"-style transportation, according to scientists in London.
The cloak, while currently only existing in mathematical theory, takes advantage of the potential properties of "metamaterials" -- artificial materials designed and manipulated at a molecular level to interact with and control electromagnetic waves.
Scientists have previously demonstrated that one possible use of metamaterials could be to render objects invisible by bending light around them. But Professor Martin McCall of Imperial College London says he has now extended the concept of invisibility to a cloak also capable of hiding events both in time and space.
"In some senses our work is mathematically quite closely related to the idea of invisibility cloaking," McCall told CNN. "It's just that we're doing it in space and time instead of just in space. It's added a new dimension to cloaking, quite literally."
In a paper published in the Journal of Optics, McCall said metamaterials made it theoretically possible to manipulate light rays as they enter a material so that some parts speed up and others slow down. This could create "blind spots" in time, masking an event. While the accelerated light arrives at a space before an event has happened, the rest of the light doesn't reach it until after the event.

Rapids tend to form in younger streams, with water flow that is straighter and faster than in older streams. Softer rocks in the streambed erode, or wear away, faster than harder rocks. This process is known as differential erosion. The result of differential erosion is that as the streambed wears away, the stronger rocks remain and eventually begin to break up the flow of the stream. The many tiny waterfalls they create make the slope of the stream more steep.
The safety of a section of river is measured by the class, or level, of its rapids. The class of a rapid determines how difficult it is to navigate using a kayak, raft, or other vessel.
Class I: Small waves, no obstacles.
Class II: Medium waves, no obstacles.
Class III: Many waves of different strengths, many obstacles, narrow passages.
Class IV: Many strong waves, many dangerous obstacles, whirlpools.
Class V: Constant strong waves, constant obstacles, whirlpools, fast currents, some waterfalls.
Class VI: (also classified as U, for "unraftable") Constant strong waves, constant obstacles, whirlpools, fast currents, steep waterfalls.
Rapids can be important to the health of a stream system. The water splashing over rocks captures air in bubbles. This splashing, called whitewater, leads to more dissolved oxygen in the water. The oxygen is useful to fish, insects, and bacteria in the water, and in turn to the ecosystem around the stream.
Rowboats are not the safest way to navigate rapids.

The majority of your metabolism revolves around simply staying alive. Your organs use up anywhere from 60-75% of the daily energy you consume. Men generally have bigger organs than women which accounts for their slightly higher metabolic rate. That and the fact that men generally carry more muscle mass than woman.

The heart chakra is the home of that all-permeating, healing energy we call love. In our culture we use the word “love” in so many different contexts that it can be a little confusing. In this healing context, I am referring to love as a powerful, pervasive energy that connects to others in a positive, life-affirming way. It is unconditional and all-encompassing, not connected to any thought or judgment. Love is just a feeling of positive, healing connection to another being, and the thing that opens the heart chakra most is loving connection.
Conversely, the thing that closes the heart most is the kind of judgment that gets in the way of this connection. When someone does something we don’t like, we may feel hurt. We may then judge what they did as wrong and decide on some level to not forgive them, to protect ourselves against the possibility they might hurt us again.
Unfortunately, the choice to not forgive creates a pain in the person who is unwilling to forgive. When we choose not to forgive someone, it can seem like we are doing something to them, like it’s some sort of retribution for the pain we feel they put us through.

What can psychics tell us about love? And how do they use the different tools to do that (e.g. horoscopes, numerology, tarot)?
A good psychic pulls information out of you that you can’t see because you’re trapped in your own energy and physical body. Every thought and emotion is energy.

But discovering and releasing that potential energy can lead to some very high-voltage results indeed. This chapter is about finding the hidden conflicts that motivate us all.
In physics, 'potential energy' is stored energy, energy that is waiting to be released. A tensely coiled spring is just waiting to explode outward and transform its potential energy into kinetic energy.
Melachy Welsh, a mentor of mine, teaches that the energy arising from tension is the force that moves society forward. All of us have needs, appetites, duties, and responsibilities that drive us through each day-from short-range issues ('What will I have for lunch?') to long-range ones ('How can I make my family's life better?').

Using radio observations of the distant universe, NSF-funded researchers Judd Bowman of Arizona State University, Alan Rogers of MIT, and others discovered the influence of such early stars on primordial gas. The team inferred the stars' presence from dimming of the CMB, a result of the gaseous filaments absorbing the stars' UV light. The CMB is dimmer than expected, indicating the filaments may have been colder than expected, possibly from interactions with dark matter.
This updated timeline of the universe reflects the recent discovery that the first stars emerged by 180 million years after the Big Bang. The research was conducted by Judd Bowman of Arizona State University and his colleagues, with funding from the National Science Foundation.

They also determined that the gas was in a state that would have been possible only in the presence of the very first stars. These stars, blinking on for the first time in a universe that was previously devoid of light, emitted ultraviolet radiation that interacted with the surrounding hydrogen gas.

Astronomers at McDonald Observatory are trying to find out how often young planets wander so dramatically. They’re looking for giant planets in distant orbits — arrangements that are similar to our own solar system.
Most of the planets discovered in other star systems are quite close in. That includes many planets that resemble Jupiter, the giant of the solar system.
But there’s a problem with that layout.
Giant planets probably grow so large by first amassing chunks of rock and ice to build a heavy core. The gravity of that core then quickly sweeps up vast amounts of gas left over from the star’s birth.
But a star’s heat and winds prevent that process from playing out close to the star itself. So a giant planet must form away from the star, where it’s colder. Interactions with the remaining gas and with other planets may slow it down, causing it to spiral closer. Small planets that are born close to the star may even fall into it.
The McDonald project is trying to determine how common it is for giant planets to remain far from their stars. The astronomers can then look for a common factor that may allow giant planets to remain far away. That will provide a better understanding of the evolution of all planetary systems — including the ones where the young planets don’t stay

After some careful estimation (looked it up on Zomato) there are more than 750 Italian restaurants just in Dubai. Throw that out to the broader Emirates, and that number goes above 1,000.
While I have not visited all of them, I can pretty much guarantee each serves pizza and pasta “just like mama used to make”, plates will be served on red and white checkerboard tablecloths, and there will be at least one man (probably not from Italy) who goes by the name of ‘Mario’.
That makes the Italian restaurant trade incredibly competitive here, and for any Italian to stand out, it needs to go above and beyond the oft flaunted stereotypes of ‘typical’ Italian cuisine, which is surely a bit of a concern for the likes of the Ritz-Carlton’s trademark Italian eatery, Splendido.

Stars are beautiful, wondrous things. Much like planets, planetoids and other stellar bodies, they come in many sizes, shapes, and even colors. And over the course of many centuries, astronomers have come to discern several different types of stars based on these fundamental characteristics.
For instance, the color of a star – which varies from bluish-white and yellow to orange and red – is primarily due to its composition and effective temperature. And at all times, stars emit light which is a combination of several different wavelengths. On top of that, the color of a star can change over time.
Different elements emit different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation when heated. In the case of stars, his includes its main constituents (hydrogen and helium), but also the various trace elements that make it up. The color that we see is the combination of these different electromagnetic wavelengths, which are referred to as as a Planck’s curve.
The wavelength at which a star emits the most light is called the star’s “peak wavelength” (which known as Wien’s Law), which is the peak of its Planck curve. However, how that light appears to the human eye is also mitigated by the contributions of the other parts of its Planck curve.
In short, when the various colors of the spectrum are combined, they appear white to the naked eye. This will make the apparent color of the star appear lighter than where star’s peak wavelength falls on the color spectrum. Consider our Sun. Despite the fact that its peak emission

I had the pressure part backwards. It makes a big difference in aviation because if you fly from an area of warm air into one of colder air, your barometric altimeter is going to indicate that you're farther from the ground that you really are. That is, you'll be lower than you think by looking at the altimeter. Or as the pilot saying goes, "From high to low, watch out below!" The expanded version doesn't scan, but it accounts for temperature, too: "From high to low and hot to cold, watch out below!"
It's the "hot to cold" part that I had backwards. I'd been thinking--erroneously--that because warm air is less dense than cold air, the pressure would be less. In order to get it straight, I had to think of it as if the air were contained in a rigid container. In that case, raising the temperature would increase the air pressure inside the container. But I still don't really understand how it works in free, uncontained air--just that it happens.

Sea level varies from day to day and week to week, depending on the weather situation. Air pressure has a direct influence on the sea level.
High air pressure exerts a force on the surroundings and results in water movement. So high air pressure over a sea area corresponds to low sea level and conversely low air pressure (a depression) results in higher sea levels. This is called the inverse barometer effect.
The average sea level during a year is 0 cmPGA and the average air pressure is 1013 hPa. Since the air pressure normally varies between 950 and 1050 hPa during a year, the expected variation in sea level due to air pressure is between +63 cm and -37 cm around mean sea level.
Water levels at a particular location are not only affected by the local air pressure but also by other factors, so this simple correlation is rarely observed.
Sea levels in north-western Europe are often high during autumn and winter when there are frequent depressions and strong westerly winds, but low during the spring and summer when high pressure and gentle winds dominate.

You can make a simple barometer by inserting a drinking straw in narrow-mouthed jar that’s half full of water and by sealing the neck of the jar around the straw (with a rubber stopper, wax, or glue). Make sure that the end of the straw is immersed in the water and that the water level in the straw is above the top of the jar. As the outside air pressure decreases, the trapped air inside the jar will push the water farther up the straw. As the air pressure increases, it will push the water farther down the straw. Try to keep your barometer’s temperature constant, because temperature will also affect its water level. You can use your barometer to predict the weather (somewhat) because storms tend to be accompanied by lower air pressures.

Why does this happen? When air moves, the pressure decreases. This creates a lower (relative to the surrounding air) air pressure pocket right between the cans. Recall that higher pressure pushes, and thus the cans clink together. Just remember – whenever there’s a difference in pressure, the higher pressure pushes.

An intake manifold refers to an engine part that supplies the air and fuel mixture to the cylinders. Intake manifold plenums facilitate the distribution of this mixture.
The intake manifold’s primary function is to transfer the air and fuel combustion mixture to the intake ports contained in each cylinder head. This distribution optimizes engine performance and efficiency. The intake manifold must contain higher pressure than the outlet, which is provided by the cylinders during the intake stroke. This higher pressure is produced by an air enclosure, or chamber, called the plenum.
Intake manifolds contain runners, or tubes that extend to the cylinder head intake ports from the plenum. The runners take up a smaller section of the plenum surface than the inlet, thereby aerodynamically supplying air to the plenum.
Intake manifold runners take advantage of the Helmholtz Resonance phenomenon, which results in air resonance in a cavity, such as the plenum. When a valve closes, air outside of the valve compresses against it, created a pocket of high pressure. This pressure equalizes with lower pressure in the plenum, which creates cycles, or pulses, of oscillation. This enables the plenum to operate at a high volumetric efficiency when equalizing air flow to the engine cylinders.

You are here: Home / What Is The Pressure Regulator For?
Whether you know it as the pressure adjustment valve, or as I and many others call it, the pressure regulator, why is there one on a compressor and what is the pressure regulator for?
You’ll spot the regulator. It is normally in the line on the air compressor through which tank air to flow from the compressor tank to the coupler into which connector on the air line is inserted. Once inserted into the coupler, the connector opens the coupler internal check, and air can flow into the air line.
The pressure regulator will look similar to the one shown on this page, though, on many smaller air compressors, the only part of the regulator that might be seen is the adjustment knob.
When the compressor runs to fill the tank, once the tank is full, the compressor shuts off. Depending on the make of air compressor, the air in the tank might be at 125 PSI, maybe 150 PSI or even, on some compressors, 200 PSI.
There are very few air-using tools that require air at those pressures to work properly. In fact, by supplying too high an air pressure to the air tool, not only will it waste air, but it could also lead to early maintenance issues with the air tool.

Superchargers are devices used in reciprocating (internal combustion) engines to compress air that deliver additional air to an engine. They draw power from the engine. Superchargers are placed behind the air intake so they will compress the air before it flows to the cylinders in the engine where it is compressed again. Superchargers use a small rotary compressor to give air from the atmosphere higher pressure. They are powered by gears in the engine's crankshaft.
Superchargers are important at high altitudes where air has low density and pressure and where engine performance deteriorates. Use of a supercharger provides higher pressure air (air that has been compressed) to go the engine.
A turbocharger, also called a turbosupercharger, is a supercharger that is driven by a turbine that draws power from the engine exhaust rather than from the engine. Using a turbine to power the supercharger is more efficient since exhaust gas pressure is used, which is wasted energy. This enables the engine to use all of the power for rotating the propeller. Turbochargers can provide more "supercharging" than the gear-driven type of supercharger.

For most people, the answer is CPAP. CPAP therapy is the first-line therapy of choice for most cases of mild to severe sleep apnea, snoring, and upper airway resistance syndrome. Most people with apnea and sleep-disordered breathing respond well to CPAP, as long as they give themselves time to get used to the therapy.
However, there are special cases where a BiPAP Machine may be a better choice.
You may not have heard much about BiPAP. Some people casually lump it under the broader category of “CPAP machine” because the devices are similar and have the same end goal of treating apnea. However, there is a difference between these two forms of sleep apnea therapy.
Both CPAP and BiPAP treat sleep apnea by delivering pressurized air to keep your airway from collapsing when you sleep. However, the two apnea machines have different settings and slightly different functions. CPAP and BiPAP essentially do the same job, but they aren’t interchangeable devices; which one is best for you depends on a few factors.
A CPAP machine provides “continuous positive airway pressure”—a steady, gentle flow of pressurized air, at an air pressure level prescribed by your doctor. This pressurized air, delivered via tubing and a mask, keeps your airway open while you sleep.

Why There Is An Opportunity For Energy Saving?
Every industry has problem of fluctuating air pressure. This is caused by intermittent use of several pneumatic equipments. It begins with sudden air demand pulling down pressure at the point of use. The only way for the Air Compressors to know about it, is when it travels to upstream through distribution network. The capacity control mechanism of the Air Compressor in the form of Load/Unload or VSD then starts delivering compressed air in the system. Practically it takes a while for the entire air system to fill up to the required pressure.

A lot of us simply fail to drink enough water to make things count every day. Water is absolutely essential and necessary to keep our body functioning at peak capacity, removing waste, carrying nutrients and life-giving oxygen around our body. Since our body loses water through a number of ways, such as perspiration, breathing and waste, we need to replenish our water daily. Make sure you drink enough water so you can keep yourself healthy.
Now this is another common offender we deal with daily, since we tend to feel the days are too short and we often stay up late. When you don’t rest well you will end up eating more and it often happens to be junk food. If you get enough sleep on a regular basis, you will not need to eat more to counterbalance that.
Exercise every single day if you can. Movement means life, which in turn will add more benefits to your life and health, such as a lower risk of diseases, weight loss, better bone density, longer life span and so on. You should always choose walking over any kind of transport whenever you can, climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator every

There is something so right about the sound of trickling water in an otherwise peaceful garden. It compliments the sound of birdsong and it adds a new dimension to a space thanks to light play and water(pond plants), creating a pretty and natural element. The sound of just one simple small water feature is reminiscent of natural water features and how many of us are lucky enough to boast a pond or stream in our garden? Not many that’s for sure! It’s a wonderful thing that promotes wildlife and attracts birds to your garden. Garden care will always pay off.
Water features for your garden are much less of an outlay financially than they were in the past; low energy water pumps and a proliferation of recycling ideas have ensured that more and more people are taking the plunge and adding water features to their gardens. It doesn’t have to cost a lot either, you can make a frugally priced garden water feature.

It doesn't result in a significant increase in strength and power, and it doesn't cause muscle to hypertrophy like resistance training does (1). On its own, the gains you would get are absolutely minimal, if any. Added to a resistance training program, it can interfere with the gains you could make in strength, power, and muscle hypertrophy.

Now, a team at Purdue University has found that a compound called F6 is effective at killing bacteria that have already evolved resistance to existing antibiotics. In tests, the new drug also seems less susceptible to bacterial resistance down the track.
The discovery and use of antibiotics was one of the greatest scientific achievements of the 20th century, as previously-dangerous procedures quickly became safe and infections relatively easy to treat. But after decades of overuse and overprescription, bacteria are fighting back, with more and more antibiotics becoming ineffective – including some of our last lines of defense. If left unaddressed, the problem is predicted to worsen until these so-called superbugs are killing up to 10 million people a year by 2050.

In this paper we examine the relationships among bedrock properties and hydraulics in shaping bedrock channel morphology at the reach scale. The Ocoee River and four other bedrock streams in the Blue Ridge province of the southeastern United States, which have reach scale differences in bedrock erodibility controlled by lithologic and structural variation, are the focus of this study. We describe a simple conceptual model for concentrated erosion in bedrock channels and test three hypotheses in order to investigate the interactions among rock erodibility, characteristics of undulating rib like bed forms, reach scale gradient, and hydraulic roughness and energy dissipation. Substrate differences correlate with variation in reach morphology (i.e., gradient, bed form orientation, and amplitude), such that less erodible substrates are associated with steeper reach gradient and with transversely oriented ribs of greater amplitude. One dimensional modeling in HEC RAS indicated that in the reach with the least erodible substrate and greatest bed slope and rib amplitude, the reach averaged hydraulic roughness was the greatest. Increased hydraulic roughness in steeper reaches points to the importance of positive and negative feedbacks in these systems: Greater substrate erosional resistance limits profile lowering, which likely creates steeper bed slopes and greater stream power, creating a self-enhancing feedback. This local increase in stream power is balanced by increased roughness resulting from the erosional processes that produce bedrock ribs, which represents a self regulating feedback. The overall result reflects quantifiable adjustments between substrate resistance and hydraulic driving forces in bedrock channels.

Ever since he appeared on the cover of Muscle and Fitness mag, it seems that everybody wants to fnd out just the best way to get a Terrell Owens body. Well, believe it or not he didn't build those sculpted perfect abdominals working with free weights. Due to the fact inside NFL circles he is called the "Rubber Band Man."
Owens as you may most likely realize is a wide receiver in the NFL. Being a football player, he puts in the time required to sharpen the playing skills. Additionally, he also has to invest time engaging in lifting weights. However, contrary to most football players he does not devote any time exercising with free weights. Unbelievable as this

Sessions will take place Mondays and Fridays and will run from 6:30-7:45 AM.
What are we thinking with that 6:30 AM time?
We realize that we are not going to have hundreds of people beating down the door at 6:30 Monday morning all pepped up to do their yoga.
The people who do arrive will most likely be slow-moving and will look a little bleary-eyed at first.
And when these sleepy practitioners begin, it is entirely possible that they will experience sluggish, mucky resistance to yoga, accompanied by persuasive internal voices encouraging a retreat back to bed.
Which is surely just the thing you’ve been seeking to fill that early morning Monday & Friday slot on your calendar, is it not?
Mention of mucky resistance might seem an ineffective way to promote something that already doesn’t seem to have much going for it. Yet the resistance has to be mentioned 1) because it happens (if you’ve taken even a few yoga classes, you’ve experienced it), and 2) because it is intertwined with all the very good, truly wonderful reasons for practicing.

If you're looking for an affordable stationary bike you can use at home, then this Sunny SF-1001 Indoor Cycling Bike is a great option that keeps the cost low without compromising on quality.
Stationary bikes are excellent for toning up and losing weight for a large number of reasons. Not only do they allow you to achieve a high level of exertion in one spot but they're also low impact and perfect for training while reading a book or watching TV.
This particular model from Sunny also offers variable resistance in the form of a tension pad. Instead of having the standard option of selection from numerous different levels of resistance, you instead have the ability to gradually increase or decrease the amount of resistance as you please.
This makes it very easy to see yourself progressing over time and means you don't have that sudden 'jump' as you go from level 6 to level 7.
At 43'' high this is also a relatively low exercise bike, and for many people, this small frame will be a considerable advantage as it means you can fit it into a small flat or a crowded space. The small size is also great for those who may want to take the bike with them moving home or otherwise traveling around.
Despite being small and affordable though, the bike is also very sturdy and isn't likely to wear out anytime soon thanks to a heavy-duty steel

The refractory metals are insoluble in silver and copper. They do not form alloys and cannot be made by the usual melting and casting methods. Instead they are made by powder metallurgy techniques. Elkonite® is made using the press-sinter-infiltration procedure whereby refractory powders are pressed and sintered to form strong bodies with a pre-determined amount of porosity. The pores are then filled with molten silver or copper to form essentially fully dense bodies. There is usually an excess of silver or copper on one of the surfaces which in most cases is removed by machining. With the press-sinter-infiltrate process, the refractory content of the materials can range from about 35% to 90% by weight. The materials made by the press-sinter-infiltration process normally have the greatest resistance to arc erosion. They are used for almost all of the larger switchgear contacts as well as for some of the lighter duty applications.

Aerobic exercise increases your pulse and breath rate, which raises the level of oxygen in your blood. This process helps improve cardiovascular health, clear your body of toxins, accelerate healing, accelerate weight loss and increase overall physical fitness. Large muscles of the arms, hips and legs are used in aerobic exercise. To perform an aerobic workout without the use of your legs, the workout will focus on arm movements.
Exercising in water is a low-impact activity that does not require the use of the legs, and you can burn 400 to 500 calories per hour with aquatic aerobic exercise. Consider performing the ball lever exercise, during which you lie flat and face down in the water with your head out of the water to facilitate breathing, and holding an inflated ball out in front of you. Keep your arms straight and move the ball down into the water in an arc, bringing it to your thighs, then return it to the front. The larger the ball, the greater the resistance and, consequently, the greater the intensity of your workout.
You can get an aerobic workout while seated in a chair or wheelchair. If using a chair, stabilize the legs to prevent movement. If you are in a wheelchair, apply the brakes during aerobic exercise. Possible exercises include the use of a resistance band or dumbbells for various resistance exercises. Try air punching or the use of a speed bag for added intensity.

I was thinking of adding two animal print chairs to a room with a floral couch. Any thoughts? Thank you.
That is tough without seeing your choices. You can mix and match florals and prints that agree/ coordinate in color and scale. Scale is important when choosing print furniture. Is the floral a smaller scale and the animal print larger? That will work, if the colors are right. Then make sure your accents aren't loud. Use them to tone it down, if you need to. Maybe your pillows are solid colors and your walls are neutral. -That would work!
Mixing animal print fabrics with other fabric patterns in a room can work very well depending on the fabric. Mixing with a floral pattern can work depending on the sizes of the patterns, the colors of the animal print and florals and the style of the room. It can create a very interesting, eclectic room to mix and match, however, you must be careful to choose colors in the patterns that compliment one another, the colors of the patterns do not have to match, they just need to look good together.

A gecko and its sticky feet.
These numbers have recently been estimated by a team of zoologists at the University of Cambridge. Their new study, published in PNAS, explains why nature hasn't produced adhesion-based climbers larger than the gecko. As the size of a climbing animal increases, the percentage of body surface that needs to be covered by sticky pads increases too, setting a limit to the size of animal using this strategy: larger animals would require very big feet. The necessary shape changes would make the evolution of this trait impractical.
David Labonte and his colleagues based their study on a simple geometrical observation. "As animals increase in size, the amount of body surface area per volume decreases – an ant has a lot of surface area and very little volume, and an elephant is mostly volume with not much surface area," explains Labonte.
which decreases as the size of the sphere, measured by , inreases: the larger the sphere, the smaller the amount of surface area per volume. And while animals aren’t usually spherical, their shapes aren’t outlandish enough to defy the inverse relationship between surface area per volume and size.

Q: How old is too old to have a dog spayed?
A: This can be a tricky question for pet owners because of the risk of surgery for older dogs. It really depends on the animal. I would most definitely consult with your vet to discuss your options. Make sure your vet checks your new pup’s heart to see if it’s strong enough for surgery, and include blood work to determine if spaying the dog would be okay. If your vet feels there wouldn’t be too many complications, it’s probably a good idea to have the surgery because sometimes intact animals can have health problems later in life. Males can develop testicular cancer, and females can have mammary tumors or pyometra - an infection of the uterus. In both cases, the diseases can seriously affect a pet’s health, and in some instances, be fatal. So, if your vet feels your older dog is strong enough for the surgery, it’s probably a good idea to go through with it. This is a tough decision to have to make because even with all the tests, there’s still no guarantee. Talk the situation over with your vet, and I’m sure you’ll make the right decision for the health of your four-legged friend.

The animal shelter was surprised to discover that one of the rescued rabbits was pregnant, and recently gave birth to a litter of bunnies, adding six more to the adoption list - once they have received proper veterinary care.
The Jackson County Animal Shelter will host a bunny adoption event on February 9-10, 2019 from 12 p.m.- 3 p.m. at the shelter on S. Pacific Highway in Phoenix.
After announcing the event, they also received numerous guinea pigs from Pet’s-Mart, who claimed to have no more room for them. The guinea pigs will also be available for adoption during the bunny adoption event this weekend.
"Taking care of a rabbit or a guinea pig is not something that's just a year or two - they end up living longer than that and so the family really needs to be committed to it, same thing with cats and dogs," Barbara Talbert, Manager at Jackson County Animal Shelter said.

Today, our animal protection officers work out of a brand-new animal shelter, providing services throughout unincorporated Spokane County and the municipalities within the county. The road to our new regional model has been a long and winding one, with a few speed bumps along the way. It all began when SCRAPS staff and area elected officials envisioned a regional program with streamlined processes and better services for the people and pets in our community. The idea was to take a complicated system with multiple providers and make it simple, easy to understand and functional.
a modern regional animal shelter served as a community resource, offering help with animal behavior problems, providing humane education, promoting responsible pet ownership and encouraging volunteerism while providing a safe haven for homeless animals.
Our move toward this model began almost a decade ago with a simple conversation in a SCRAPS staff strategic planning session. We became more serious five years ago when county government and municipalities within the county formed a regional animal control task force.

This way of eating, also know as flexitarianism, allows you to reap the benefits of vegetarianism without having to give up meat completely. If you love meat or feel deprived without it, you don’t need to give it up–– you can simply change the ratio on your plate, using meat as an accent rather than a centerpiece.
New studies have shown that eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can boost your memory and improve your cognitive ability. Eating mostly plants is one of the best ways to preserve memory and mental sharpness as you age.
Plants are Mother Nature’s prescription for improved health. They are chock-full of protective vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, many of which cannot be found in animal protein. In addition, studies have demonstrated that people who consume a plant-based diet also consume more of every essential nutrient the body needs, dispelling the myth that meat-free diets are nutrient deficient. Some people are concerned about getting enough protein on a plant-based diet; however, most vegetarians and vegans meet or exceed their protein requirements. Simply add protein-rich foods like legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and vegetables to boost your protein intake.
When you focus on eating more vegetables, you naturally eat less meat and fewer processed foods. It’s not about going completely plant-based or vegan (unless you want to.) There’s no one way or right

All have similar feet, well suited for walking on soft sand, moss or very fine grasses.
The Alpaca lives in the South American Andean region at altitudes as high as 5000 meters where it needs a thick fleece or coat to keep out the cold. They are domesticated animals and together with the LLAMA, have lived with man from time immemorial, highly valued for their fibre and meat. The ALPACA is a smaller version of the LLAMA and it is used mainly for food and clothing, whilst the larger heavier LLAMA is also used as a pack (load bearing) animal.
Alpaca’s can be split into two sub-breeds, the HUACAYO, which is the most numerous and represents about 90% of all the existing animals and the SURI making up the other 10%.
The Huacayo is more like the Llama in appearance, though slightly smaller with thick wavy hair covering most of the body. In contrast the Suri has long silky lustrous hair, which is very compact and more highly valued.

Baby cats need a lot of attention, whether or not they have the advantage of being around their mother.

Have you noticed that many self-driving car tests avoid the highway? There's a good reason for it: the LiDAR (laser pulse-based radar) cars use to navigate frequently can't handle high-detail images at the speeds and distances needed for timely reactions. Velodyne might fix that with its newly unveiled VLS-128 LiDAR system. It has 10 times more resolving power than its predecessor and can detect objects up to 300 meters (984 feet) away, helping it spot even smaller hazards at high speeds.
As the company's Anand Gopalan explained to The Verge, this could be crucial for the kind of dangers you see on the highway. An autonomous vehicle blasting down the road needs to very quickly determine whether or not an object is dangerous enough to require evasive action -- you want the car to avoid an animal crossing the road, but you don't want it to slam the brakes because of a paper bag.
The VLS-128's power also promises faster reactions, as its detail could save cars from having to check their LiDAR data against cameras before making choices. It's smaller and more efficient than Velodyne's previous technology too, so it shouldn't be quite so bulky as existing LiDAR systems.
The new hardware ships by the end of 2017. There's no mention of pricing, but this is bound to be expensive when it's Velodyne's spare-no-expense option. Not that this is necessarily a problem.

A gecko and its sticky feet.
These numbers have recently been estimated by a team of zoologists at the University of Cambridge. Their new study, published in PNAS, explains why nature hasn't produced adhesion-based climbers larger than the gecko. As the size of a climbing animal increases, the percentage of body surface that needs to be covered by sticky pads increases too, setting a limit to the size of animal using this strategy: larger animals would require very big feet. The necessary shape changes would make the evolution of this trait impractical.
David Labonte and his colleagues based their study on a simple geometrical observation. "As animals increase in size, the amount of body surface area per volume decreases – an ant has a lot of surface area and very little volume, and an elephant is mostly volume with not much surface area," explains Labonte.
which decreases as the size of the sphere, measured by , inreases: the larger the sphere, the smaller the amount of surface area per volume. And while animals aren’t usually spherical, their shapes aren’t outlandish enough to defy the inverse relationship between surface area per volume and size.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Sumatran tigers at Zoo Atlanta are offered 10 pounds of a specially prepared diet that is nutritionally appropriate for their species. Many wild animals kept as pets suffer from malnutrition because people do not understand their nutritional needs.
Is the species solitary or social? Some species are happy living a solitary life, whereas others thrive in social environments with a companion (or even larger group) of their own kind.

John Gerstenberger, vice president of product development and sourcing for Ware Pet Products in Phoenix, said small animal pets are an emerging pet category and deserve products that are species specific and designed based around their unique housing care, nutritional and play needs versus a one-size-fits-all mentality.
Another significant shift in the market is color. In years past, almost all small animal products were designed to appeal to kids and fit in their play areas or bedrooms.
Shoppers in the small animal category are also on the hunt for products that are affordable and versatile, industry experts report.
Jason Casto, director of Pets International, Kaytee Hard Goods, in Chilton, Wis., noted that pet owners of all ages are price conscious and discerning.

The water footprint of meat from beef cattle (15 400 m 3 /ton as a global average) is much larger than the footprints of meat from sheep (10 400 m 3 /ton), pig (6000 m 3 /ton), goat (5 500 m 3 /ton) or chicken (4 300 m 3 /ton). The global average water footprint of chicken egg is 3 300 m 3 /ton, while the water footprint of cow milk amounts to 1000 m 3 /ton.
Per ton of product, animal products generally have a larger water footprint than crop products. The same is true when we look at the water footprint per calorie. The average water footprint per calorie for beef is twenty times larger than for cereals and starchy roots. When we look at the water requirements for protein, it has been found that the water footprint per gram of protein for milk, eggs and chicken meat is about 1.5 times larger than for pulses. For beef, the water footprint per gram of protein is 6 times larger than for pulses. In the case of fat, butter has a relatively small water footprint per gram of fat, even lower than for oil crops.

The two immediate concerns in any animal attack are whether the victim neededs medial attention and if the animal involved is still a threat. If the person needs to be treated, then handle the call as per the department's usual protocols.
Incidents involving dogs and cats are probably handled by the local animal control. Because of the concern for rabies, the animal at fault needs to be caught and quarantineed. Find out if the creature is still on the scene. If not, which way did it leave? Which direction was it last seen leaving? How long ago was the animal last spotted? Was the animal wounded?
What color was the animal? Was it a solid color, or was it multi-colored? In the case of wild cats, did it have a long tail or short (bobcats have short tails while mountain lions have long tails). Did the animal have a collar or tag in it's ear? This is important because wild animals may be identified by collars or tags.

Home » Blogs » Poultry Around the World » Is today’s poultry industry fit to feed the world?
Is today’s poultry industry up to the task of meeting the developing world’s predicted rise in demand for animal protein?
It probably is, but the industry that turned chicken meat into an affordable source of quality animal protein for developed markets was very different to that which exists today, and it now operates in a very different world.
Think back only 50 years: How many chicken producers were there in developed markets? How many breeding or animal health companies, and how much independent research was carried out by universities?
All of the these elements competed to gain market share and, in so doing, took our knowledge of production forward and advanced the sector as a whole. Now there are far fewer companies, and the nature of university research has changed enormously. Resources are scarcer, and the environment less forgiving.
That is not to say that our understanding of poultry production does not continue to move forward – probably faster now than ever before – but there is less competition, and the various elements that contributed to making developed world poultry production the success that it is today have become concentrated in fewer hands.
It can be argued that bigger companies are more efficient and able to exploit that efficiency for the benefit of consumers, wherever they may be, but it can also be argued that they are less agile and able to adapt. They may have

The muscles that close the animal's mouth are extremely strong, but the muscles that open the mandible are comparatively weak, such that a typical human can safely hold an alligator's mouth closed with two hands. Although alligators are an apex predator, they feed primarily on small mammals and fish which they can eat in one bite. When hunting larger prey, the alligator will grasp the animal with its mouth and drag it into a body of water.

All have similar feet, well suited for walking on soft sand, moss or very fine grasses.
The Alpaca lives in the South American Andean region at altitudes as high as 5000 meters where it needs a thick fleece or coat to keep out the cold. They are domesticated animals and together with the LLAMA, have lived with man from time immemorial, highly valued for their fibre and meat. The ALPACA is a smaller version of the LLAMA and it is used mainly for food and clothing, whilst the larger heavier LLAMA is also used as a pack (load bearing) animal.
Alpaca’s can be split into two sub-breeds, the HUACAYO, which is the most numerous and represents about 90% of all the existing animals and the SURI making up the other 10%.
The Huacayo is more like the Llama in appearance, though slightly smaller with thick wavy hair covering most of the body. In contrast the Suri has long silky lustrous hair, which is very compact and more highly valued.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Sometimes our lessons are hard, and they come in a way that might make us want to resist. Slowly but surely, little by little God is sanctifying us; changing us; making us Holy as we move forward. The best sort of change comes from hard situations. From persevering through the most difficult seasons. Learning from the less compassionate without it breaking our spirit means trusting God’s promises more and more.

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a common response to exercise training especially when starting (or restarting) an exercise program. Some research tells us that there actually is very little correlation to quality of work and degree of DOMS. However, the soreness can at least let us know which muscles were working after exercise. Some muscle groups are more prone to DOMS such as hamstrings, triceps and shoulders.
So why does DOMS happen? First, lets break the myth that DOMS is the result of lactic acid build up. Lactic acid builds up during exercise; it’s the “burn” we feel during a lot of repetitions. But lactic acid is remediated by blood flow rather quickly. Rather, DOMS is the result of small “tears” in the muscle fibers that then require repair. When our muscles repair themselves, they grow back stronger. DOMS is a normal part of the growth process for muscle. One way to decrease DOMS is to get moving! Increased blood flow is the key to healing. When we move, we increase blood flow and potentially decrease DOMS or the amount of time DOMS hangs around.
So when is soreness bad? What we want to avoid is soreness in a joint rather than a muscle. For example, if the soreness is in your knee rather than your hamstring or quad, it is a sign of something wrong. That

They give you the best cuddles in the world and the noisiest kisses. They are sometimes fair, sometimes unreasonable, but always bold and genuine in their questions, wanting to embrace and discover the whole world through one answer.
Without any doubt they can move you to tears of joy or sadness, make you laugh and awaken the child within yourself. They can make you crawl, dance, race, make faces …they can make you feel alive and enjoy life around you.
Children sometimes don`t know what fear is, sometimes have fears that can be removed with a smile; they challenge you to answer tricky questions about life and the world that surrounds them.
Their natural, heartfelt directness and expectations help you realize how complex and unique the human mind is. A child of four can easily teach you about the simplicity of life, about honesty and friendship and how painful and disappointing it is when you/they break those precious principles…the whole world collapses around them. But it takes them minutes to restore their happiness and security and that simply comes with an “I am sorry” and a warm hug.
I have noticed lately a trait of very deep thinking in my children. Their drawings reflect very serious thoughts through metaphoric representations.

People who have weight issues have very little length between their armpit and waistline. Do you wonder what it has to do with looking big?? Think again.
We have our organs between our ribcage and pelvis. When our back and side muscles get really tight, they pull our pelvis up towards our ribcage. This pushes our viscera forward and we see big, protruding belly. Everything that protrudes is mistaken as fat accumulated in the belly and is blamed for poor posture. If those back and side muscles become long again, there will be enough space for all the organs to go back to their own space and belly will not protrude. Longer muscles help move with ease and flexibility and look graceful.
People with weight issue look like they have more fat around their belly. They don't have a good posture, they cannot move fluidly and flexibly, they experience pain and all of this is blamed on their weight. Only if they reduce their weight everything will be great!!
Growing up, I was a very active child and I was very slim. I never thought in my dream that weight will be an issue for me. Then, I started experiencing chronic pain and couldn't move. I just started sitting for the entire day. And then I put on 50-60 lbs.

This has blurred the line between private and public as often-intimate and occasionally blustering phone conversations have now become a common part of the background noise during bus rides, grocery shopping excursions, picnics, sidewalk strolls, waits in airport terminals and many other public venues.
To see how people are responding to these changes, people were asked about their views on general cellphone etiquette in public. About three-quarters of all adults, including those who do not use cellphones, say that it is “generally OK” to use cellphones in unavoidably public areas, such as when walking down the street, while on public transportation or while waiting in line. At the same time, the majority of Americans do not think it is generally acceptable to use cellphones in restaurants or at family dinners. Most also oppose cellphone use in meetings, places where others are usually quiet (such as a movie theater), or at church or worship service.
It is important to note that the survey did not specify what “using a cellphone” meant, and so the question was open to interpretation. It is possible that people who use their phones more often and in more diverse ways may have wider definition of what “cellphone use” entails, including less intrusive or more social activities such as sending a text message, checking email or taking a photo. Clearly, less frequent users and non-users may more strongly associate the idea of “cell use” with voice calls, which may be seen as more disruptive.

Cataracts can develop in one or both eyes, and one eye can often be more affected than the other.
The lens is the transparent structure positioned near the front of the eye. It is originally clear and allows light to pass through to the back of the eye. However, if parts of the lens become cloudy (opaque), light is unable to pass through the cloudy patches as efficiently.
Over time, the cloudy patches become bigger, and more of them develop. As less light is able to pass through the lens, a person’s vision is likely to become blurry or cloudy. The cloudier the lens becomes, the more the person’s sight will be affected.

Cataracts are the main cause of impaired vision worldwide, particularly in developing countries. They affect men and women equally.

Adultism fosters pediaphobia, which is the fear of children. Seen as less-than-adults, children are infantalized and generally belittled through language and actions that constantly impose adult power, control and authority over them.
Ephebiphobia is the fear of youth. Caused by the segregation of young people from adults that truly takes form in the preteen years and leads to the alienation and demonization of youth until adulthood.
Adultism makes older people aliens to their own existence through gerontophobia, demeaning and disempowering them as routinely and consistently as children and youth. However, as aged adults, older people can exert their authority through gerontocracy, which is when older people control people, organizations, nations and the world simply because of their age.
Adultcentrism is based on adultism, which is bias towards adults. This bias is the central force in causing the three resultant phenomena of pediaphobia, which is the fear of children; ephebiphobia, which is fear of youth; and gerontophobia, which is fear of older people.

Ageist stereotypes about seniors are unfortunately pervasive in our culture. In films, on television and even in the jokes we hear, misconceptions about aging and seniors are ever present.
While aging can create cognitive changes, older people may perform better in certain areas of intelligence and poorer in others. While seniors may have slower reaction times, “mental capabilities that depend most heavily on accumulated experience and knowledge, like settling disputes and enlarging one’s vocabulary, clearly get better over time,” writes Patricia Cohen in the New York Times.
Though social isolation can be a problem for seniors, especially to those who have limited mobility, most seniors are able to stay socially engaged. Activities with family and friends and visits at places such as the local senior center or a place of worship, also help seniors stay active and happy.
There are countless examples that dispel the myth that aging makes you less creative. In fact, many artists actually find their calling or achieve mastery in their later years. A great example is American artist “Grandma Moses,” who held her first one-woman art show in 1940 when she was 80 and continued to paint until she was 101.

Given our demographics, insights into how our aging population make decisions could help those who are living it as well as those who advise an aging client population.
In one section of this book, the authors explain socioemotional selectivity theory (SST). The concept is that as people age, their perception of the amount of life time remaining is shortened. As a consequence, a more limited time for decision making changes modestly the type of information included in decision making and the way it is processed. In particular, when time is viewed as limited, people tend to be more present oriented. They tend to seek satisfaction in the moment and are focused on what can be experienced and enjoyed now.
People with limited time are generally more focused on intimacy and embracing value from their social interactions. Alternatively, when people view time as expansive, they tend to be more future oriented. They seek future rather than present satisfaction.
According to SST, as time passes and people’s time horizon perspectives become more limited, goals focusing on knowledge acquisition become less salient and goals focusing on emotional well-being become more so.

Whether you have a whole class of seniors or a few elder students sprinkled into your classes, you will want to take careful consideration of your older learners. They are a joy to teach and a welcomed addition into any classroom. Follow these tips and you will have a great time learning from, as well as teaching your older learners!
Older adults have a lot of life experience under their belts and also have well-developed learning strategies that have served them well in other settings. They can use these strategies to their advantage in language learning, too. As with all learners, you want to tap into their experiences and expand upon those whenever possible. Language learning should give older students the same safe environment in which to share their past and also learn from the others in the class. Teachers should be flexible enough to allow different approaches to the learning tasks inside the classroom. This also connects to their motivation. Older learners almost always have a very pointed reason why they are studying, and that reason will be their primary motivation. It is a good idea to get to know them and their story so that you have a good basis for what types of lessons and themes will attract their attention and motivation.

If you have an older loved one that may no longer enjoy what used to be their favorite dish or is having trouble staying physically active, it is time to consider their health seriously. Nutrition for older adults is a top priority here at Oaks Senior Living, which is why we have compiled the following Nutrition Guide for Older Adults.
One thing to take into consideration is that when the body ages it begins to need fewer calories, but just as many nutrients. This is why nutrient-dense foods are essential for older adults - these foods are generally packed with minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients a senior’s body may need.
The best way to ensure your older loved one is eating healthy is to ensure they are consuming all the colors of the rainbow. This means vibrant vegetables, colorful fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy items, lean meats, seafood, beans, nuts, and seeds. They should also try to avoid unhealthy fats, sugary foods, and refined grains.
It is important for seniors to try and keep a healthy weight. It may help to check in with their primary health care provider to ensure they are on track. You may ask yourself, “Why does a healthy weight matter?” As the body ages, it tends to lose muscle mass, become frailer, and changes in caloric need. There are two concerns with nutrition

The heather covering the moorland is an important habitat. Short (young) heather provides food for sheep and red grouse, and shelter and nest sites for some ground-nesting birds. Taller (older) heather provides shelter and nest sites for birds and other wildlife.

Consequently, gamekeepers manage the heather by burning it when the stems get to about wellie-top height.

I had the pressure part backwards. It makes a big difference in aviation because if you fly from an area of warm air into one of colder air, your barometric altimeter is going to indicate that you're farther from the ground that you really are. That is, you'll be lower than you think by looking at the altimeter. Or as the pilot saying goes, "From high to low, watch out below!" The expanded version doesn't scan, but it accounts for temperature, too: "From high to low and hot to cold, watch out below!"
It's the "hot to cold" part that I had backwards. I'd been thinking--erroneously--that because warm air is less dense than cold air, the pressure would be less. In order to get it straight, I had to think of it as if the air were contained in a rigid container. In that case, raising the temperature would increase the air pressure inside the container. But I still don't really understand how it works in free, uncontained air--just that it happens.
When pressure gets lower, altimeter indicates higher or airplane goes lower.

This process is accomplished through the changing barometric pressure. Outside the cave, air is warmed during the day. As it warms it becomes less dense and the barometric pressure falls. When the outside pressure falls, the air flows out of the cave. At night the air is cooled, becoming more dense causing the pressure to rise. Air will be drawn into the cave during the night.

Density altitude is pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature. As the density of the air increases (lower density altitude), aircraft performance increases. Conversely, as air density decreases (higher density altitude), aircraft performance decreases. A decrease in air density means a high density altitude; an increase in air density means a lower density altitude. Density altitude is used in calculating aircraft performance. Under standard atmospheric condition, air at each level in the atmosphere has a specific density; under standard conditions, pressure altitude and density altitude identify the same level. Density altitude, then, is the vertical distance above sea level in the standard atmosphere at which a given density is to be found.
Density altitude is computed using pressure altitude and temperature. Since aircraft performance data at any level is based upon air density under standard day conditions, such performance data apply to air density levels that may not be identical to altimeter indications. Under conditions higher or lower than standard, these levels cannot be determined directly from the altimeter.
Density altitude is determined by first finding pressure altitude and then correcting this altitude for nonstandard temperature variations.

Increasing the refrigerant pressure also increases its condensing temperature. The refrigerant vapor condenses to a liquid at this higher pressure and temperature. Because this condensing temperature is hotter than the ambient temperature, heat moves from the condenser to the ambient air and is rejected. The high-pressure liquid then passes through a throttling valve that reduces its pressure. Reducing its pressure also reduces its boiling point temperature. The low-pressure liquid then passes into the evaporator and is boiled at this lower temperature and pressure. Because the boiling temperature is now lower than the temperature of the conditioned air, heat moves from the conditioned air stream into the evaporator and causes this liquid to boil. Removing heat from the air in this manner causes the air to be cooled.
The refrigerant vapor then passes into the absorber where it returns to a liquid state as it is pulled into the lithium bromide solution (the absorption process).

The environmental conditions produced by different weather parameters have an impact on the quality of the surrounding ecosystem. Weather elements form a chain reaction, as the impacts do not remain solely in the atmosphere. Temperature, pressure and humidity (moisture) can interact to form clouds. These clouds, in turn can reduce solar radiation for plants, or increase precipitation, which can runoff into a body of water.

Likewise, a lack of precipitation affects not only weather conditions, but soil moisture and water levels due to evaporation.

Most people with apnea and sleep-disordered breathing respond well to CPAP, as long as they give themselves time to get used to the therapy.
However, there are special cases where a BiPAP Machine may be a better choice.
You may not have heard much about BiPAP. Some people casually lump it under the broader category of “CPAP machine” because the devices are similar and have the same end goal of treating apnea. However, there is a difference between these two forms of sleep apnea therapy.
Both CPAP and BiPAP treat sleep apnea by delivering pressurized air to keep your airway from collapsing when you sleep. However, the two apnea machines have different settings and slightly different functions. CPAP and BiPAP essentially do the same job, but they aren’t interchangeable devices; which one is best for you depends on a few factors.
A CPAP machine provides “continuous positive airway pressure”—a steady, gentle flow of pressurized air, at an air pressure level prescribed by your doctor. This pressurized air, delivered via tubing and a mask, keeps your airway open while you sleep.

The cost for the additional low pressure pipeline is normally paid off within few months. It is part of the Pneumofore offer to calculate the dimensions of the compressed air system at no cost for the customer, in order to guarantee electrical power savings in the long term. Operating from 2,5 to 10 bar(g) with a power range from 10 to 630 kW, the A Series air compressors represent a stable and economical solution for low pressure supply.

Pressure decreases as altitude increases.
This is true for any gas in equilibrium and not just limited to oxygen. Air at a lower altitude is compressed more due to the weight of a longer column of air above it. Therefore, the pressure will be higher.

Sea level varies from day to day and week to week, depending on the weather situation. Air pressure has a direct influence on the sea level.
High air pressure exerts a force on the surroundings and results in water movement. So high air pressure over a sea area corresponds to low sea level and conversely low air pressure (a depression) results in higher sea levels. This is called the inverse barometer effect.
The average sea level during a year is 0 cmPGA and the average air pressure is 1013 hPa. Since the air pressure normally varies between 950 and 1050 hPa during a year, the expected variation in sea level due to air pressure is between +63 cm and -37 cm around mean sea level.
Water levels at a particular location are not only affected by the local air pressure but also by other factors, so this simple correlation is rarely observed.
Sea levels in north-western Europe are often high during autumn and winter when there are frequent depressions and strong westerly winds, but low during the spring and summer when high pressure and gentle winds dominate.
The sea surface on the Baltic can slope significantly both from north to south and from west to east. Deep low pressure passages over the Bothnian Bay, combined with high pressure over the southern Baltic can create sea level differences of up to 2 m.

Retrieved Text: Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by air molecules as they bump into each other and surrounding surfaces, which translates to the weight of the atmosphere over a particular location. The measure of this weight, taken using a device called a barometer, is referred to as barometric pressure. It is an active, ever-changing phenomenon that varies with the time of day, altitude, latitude and weather conditions.
High barometric pressure is associated with calm weather, whereas low pressure usually brings stormy weather. As air cools, the molecules pack together, making it denser and thus increasing the pressure. This dense air presses down on the air beneath it, causing that air to grow warmer. Conversely, as air heats, its molecules move apart, making it less dense. This low-pressure air rises to create fast-moving, volatile, warm air fronts which are pushed higher into the atmosphere by denser, cooler air columns underneath them. As Earth rotates, these different pressure systems move in a characteristic pattern called the Coriolis Force, which produces the atmospheric jet streams that bring different weather patterns to different regions of the planet.
Barometric pressure is subject to a daily cycle based on heating by the sun, followed by cooling. Pressure usually peaks around 10:00 am and 10:00 pm, and reaches its nadir around 4:00 am and 4:00 pm. Extremes in daily pressure highs and lows are greatest near the equator, and lower towards the poles.

A barometer measures air pressure by examining the forces that air exerts on surfaces. The higher the air pressure, the more force air will exert on a certain surface. Most barometers compare the present air pressure with a known pressure by putting those two pressures on opposite sides of a flexible surface. The higher the air pressure, the more that surface will bend away from it. You can make a simple barometer by inserting a drinking straw in narrow-mouthed jar that’s half full of water and by sealing the neck of the jar around the straw (with a rubber stopper, wax, or glue). Make sure that the end of the straw is immersed in the water and that the water level in the straw is above the top of the jar. As the outside air pressure decreases, the trapped air inside the jar will push the water farther up the straw. As the air pressure increases, it will push the water farther down the straw. Try to keep your barometer’s temperature constant, because temperature will also affect its water level. You can use your barometer to predict the weather (somewhat) because storms tend to be accompanied by lower air pressures.

You are here: Home / What Is The Pressure Regulator For?
Whether you know it as the pressure adjustment valve, or as I and many others call it, the pressure regulator, why is there one on a compressor and what is the pressure regulator for?
You’ll spot the regulator. It is normally in the line on the air compressor through which tank air to flow from the compressor tank to the coupler into which connector on the air line is inserted. Once inserted into the coupler, the connector opens the coupler internal check, and air can flow into the air line.
The pressure regulator will look similar to the one shown on this page, though, on many smaller air compressors, the only part of the regulator that might be seen is the adjustment knob.
When the compressor runs to fill the tank, once the tank is full, the compressor shuts off. Depending on the make of air compressor, the air in the tank might be at 125 PSI, maybe 150 PSI or even, on some compressors, 200 PSI.
There are very few air-using tools that require air at those pressures to work properly. In fact, by supplying too high an air pressure to the air tool, not only will it waste air, but it could also lead to early maintenance issues with the air tool.
The device that is used to REDUCE the tank pressure level to a pressure that is more suitable for the use is the pressure regulator.

We need oxygen to live. When we breathe in, oxygen travels in the air through the trachea and bronchi, into the bronchioles and finally reaches numerous sac-like structures called alveoli. The thin surfaces of the alveoli are in contact with blood vessels calledcapillaries. At the alveoli, oxygen enters the blood to be carried to cells in the body. Waste carbon dioxide in the blood is excretedat the alveoli and expelled in the air we breathe out.
What is the Irish connection with breathing?
Robert Boyle (1627 – 1691), the Irish chemist showed that a change in the volume of a fixed mass of gas causes a change in pressure. If the gas volume increases the pressure decreases and vice versa.
When the air in the lungs expands, its pressure decreases to less than atmospheric pressure. But its pressure rises above atmospheric pressure when it is compressed.
Air moves from higher to lower pressure until the air pressures are equal. Therefore by creating a pressure difference, air can be moved into and out of the lungs.

Generally speaking, there are three types of carbon dioxide refrigeration cycle, namely supercritical carbon dioxide refrigeration cycle, transcritical carbon dioxide refrigeration cycle and subcritical carbon dioxide refrigeration cycle.
Supercritical carbon dioxide refrigeration cycle: That is to say, all the circulation state is above the critical point. In the process of circulation, carbon dioxide can not become liquid, and is always in the form of gas. This method is generally used in the nuclear electric power generation, not used in the field of refrigeration and air conditioning.
Transcritical carbon dioxide refrigeration cycle: That is, the suction pressure is lower than the critical pressure, the evaporation temperature is lower than the critical temperature, but the exhaust pressure is higher than the critical pressure. The heat absorption process in this cycle is carried out under subcritical conditions, and the heat transfer is mainly realized by latent heat. This form of refrigeration cycle is currently the most used and most active.
Subcritical carbon dioxide refrigeration cycle: That is, the suction pressure and exhaust pressure are both lower than the critical pressure, and the evaporation temperature is lower than the critical temperature, so the heat absorption and heat release process in this cycle are carried out under subcritical conditions.

LED lights look different from incandescent lights, and people have different opinions about their looks, but the differences are much deeper than they seem. Read on to learn about the differences.
Warm Light. Incandescent lights have that warm glow most people associate with the holidays. Humans are drawn to warm light, the light associated with fire and warmth, and most people tend to prefer incandescent light for this reason. It's a softer light, and it creates a more traditional holiday lighting display than the new, cooler LED lights.
Easy to Maintain. Incandescent holiday lighting technology has been around a long time, and manufacturers have figured out how to make them easy to maintain. Burned out light bulbs and other small maintenance jobs are easy to solve with incandescent lights.
Best for smaller jobs. Although they're lovely and easy to maintain, incandescent lights are best for smaller jobs that don't require a lot of extension cords or complicated design features. That said, it's possible to create an elaborate holiday display with incandescent lights; it just may take some additional creativity.
Cooler Light. You can still tell the difference at a glance between warm incandescent lights and cool LED lights. Many people dislike the cool light produced by LED bulbs. That's slowly changing, however, as manufacturers are learning to mimic the warmer incandescent glow in their LED lights. It's also possible to get a warmer appearance from LED lights by sticking with warmer

Over the past 10 years or so, companies have been showing interest in solar energy. And it makes sense, too. The sun gives off enough energy in one day, everyone on the planet would have power for the entire year. Just imagine what that could mean for people who do not have power! Pretty amazing, right?
The problem is, people don’t really understand how solar power can help change our lives. With that said, is it possible that solar generators could eliminate the need for fuel generators all together? Eh, let’s have a look and compare the two to see how they stack up against one another.
Unlike fuel, solar energy is free and in ample supply. The sun comes up every day, so why not use the energy it provides us? When you install solar panels, they will be costly at first, but in the following years, they will harness much of the sun’s power that you won’t have to pay for electricity in the future.
Fuel generators are able to create electricity faster, this is true. However, they require more fuel to get started, which without fuel, they’re nothing more than a heap of metal. With a solar generator, it’s useful in any condition, although it may take a little bit longer than fuel. We also want to point out that fuel generators create a lot of pollution, which is something

Swap light bulbs. “Lighting accounts for 5 to 10 percent of overall energy use in a typical home,” says Hickey, and switching from incandescent to compact fluorescents — those light bulbs that are often spiral-shaped — can make a big difference. “Replace bulbs in your five most frequently used fixtures, and you can save $65 or more each year.” If you gave compact fluorescent bulbs a shot years ago and just didn’t like the way they looked or how long they took to brighten up, give them another try.

For instance, you can keep recycled cardboard boxes for occasions when you need to ship things to relatives and friends.

The Health Impact Project has just released a new health impact assessment (HIA) of a pilot program run by Illinois' largest electric utility, Commonwealth Edison. The HIA looked at the health effects of implementing "smart metering," which replaces existing mechanical meters with digital meters that record customer usage in 15-minute increments. The new meters are coupled with a new two-way communication system that allow a utility company to remotely connect and disconnect service, as well as get real-time, detailed customer usage.

Is coal a renewable resource? There’s some confusion on this point because as a naturally occurring resource, coal might appear to be inexhaustible.
The difference between renewable and non-renewable resources is that a renewable resource is replenished by the natural world within a realistic timeframe to be used again. A non-renewable resource won’t be replenished and will eventually run out.
Coal is a finite resource because the conditions that were in place to form coal are long gone. Even if the conditions were right, coal regeneration within our lifetimes could not happen because it would take millions of years for new coal reserves to solidify.
In this post, we’ll talk more about how exactly coal formed, the process of mining coal, and what happens when we burn coal. We’ll also look briefly at a few other non-renewable and renewable energy sources that are used today.
The coal we use today started as living plants millions of years ago. The plants soaked up light from the sun which they then used to create energy through photosynthesis.
These plants were located in areas with a lot of swampy lands with groundwater in or even on top of the soil. Over millions of years, the plants died and sank to the bottom of the bog as they decomposed.
Because the atmosphere of the earth was very different when the coal formed, the conditions to create new coal no longer exist on a large scale. Again, even if they did, we couldn’t reap the benefits for millions of years, which doesn’t fit

Once these surfaces touch metal is removed, clearances widen and wear increases. As this takes place the oil pressure drops and very soon the result will be mechanical failure and engine seizure, resulting in the end of your race, most likely race meeting, replacement engine required and a massive cost to your team.
Oil to Air Transmission Coolers are used for cooling gearboxes, crown wheels and pinion units, differentials and power steering pumps to prevent overheating and loss of pressure due to material expansion that results in greater tolerances and lack of oil circulation and spiralling heat build-up causing mechanical failure and seizing.
Due to the intense nature of motorsport these failures will happen in a very short space of time and using the obp Motorsport Hi-Quality Reliable Oil to Air Coolers is essential to prevent these types of failures.

Ingenuity makes it thin. Aluminum makes it strong.
When it was introduced four years ago, the original iPad set the standard for thinness and lightness. Since then, iPad has become even thinner and lighter. But thanks to its durable aluminum unibody, iPad Air 2 doesn’t sacrifice strength in the pursuit of thinness. From the moment you pick it up, you feel how sturdy and rigid it is.
Not just a thinner display.A better display.
The displays on previous generations of iPad used three separate components. iPad Air 2 changes all that, combining those three layers into just one. This eliminates gaps between layers, along with the internal reflectance caused by those gaps. The result? Colours are richer, contrast is greater, and images are sharper and more vivid.

Here are six common problems, how to avoid them in the future, and the best ways to fix them if they do attack. The first three have more to do with the material, environment and spray equipment, while the last three are more related to your spraying technique.
As finish flows through the gun, the tip atomizes it into tiny airborne droplets. If those droplets are too large or too thick to flow out during drying, you may end up with a surface that is pebbly, like the surface of an orange peel. Sometimes you can avoid it by using a smaller fluid tip on the gun, but the simplest way to sidestep orange peel is to thin the material.
A pebbly surface on your project, with the texture of an orange peel, is the result of finish droplets that are too large or too thick to dry properly.
Fixing orange peel is fairly easy. Wait until the coat is dry, sand it smooth, and spray the next coat with thinner material.
Incidentally, when you first spray water-based coating, it may look like there is orange peel, but when you let it dry overnight, the finish usually will flow out. That’s because water-based coating has a high surface tension and will create beads of finish, but the evaporation of the high-surface-tension water in the mix will allow the remaining finish to flow out level during the drying process.

Kuklinzki, It is not a good idea to use a water based wash (Vallejo) on a water based paint job without some kind of protectant coat. What you can do is after your base paint hase cured for at least a day, spray a light coat of future floor wax (or the appropriate brand where you live) over it and let is cure for a few minutes then spray another tyhen let it cure for a day. Then your Vellejo pin wash should work better. If you use oils (I do), make sure you use a medium (thinner) such a mineral spirits or turpenoid to thin the paint.

The most common water-based paints are latex, acrylic, and vinyl, which means those materials are used as a binder (holds paint to surface). Alkyd paint, often called oil-based, uses mineral spirits (paint thinner) as a binder. Often, one type of paint is better suited to a particular job than the other, so it is important to know at least a little about each type and the pros and cons of each one.
Water-based paint gets its name from the fact that water is used as the solvent. It is combined with a binder such as latex or acrylic, additives and pigments to create a product that when dry, provides a flexible & durable protective coating for your home. Latex and acrylic paint are both good choices for wood sided homes, as they can expand and shrink with the wood, which prevents blistering and peeling. Water-based paints are a good choice for exterior painting as well because they contain little volatile organic compounds (VOC's), which release into the air, contribute to pollution and may even cause cancer. If you choose any water based paint, be careful of cold temperatures. It should be at least 50 degrees for the paint to work correctly; if it freezes before it dries, it will crack, split and peel.
Oil-based paints use paint thinner as a solvent, and alkyd resins as a binder. In the past, this type

I will cry when we finally give away our Lego Duplo , but considering my 8 year old will still happily play with it I am not packing it up yet. One of the things I like to do with toys that we already have to make them fresh is to find new ways to use them or ways to make them seem new. Enter washi tape. If you aren’t familiar with washi tape it’s colorful paper tape that comes off easily so not only can you reposition it you can remove it. I added some washi tape to my daughter’s Lego Duplo on a whim around Valentine’s Day and posted it to Instagram and the response was great enough I knew I needed to do a full post about it here. As you will see washi tape Lego Duplo can also be used for more directed activities too. Scroll down to see what we did with it.
Gather your materials. You will need some blocks – we used Duplo but Mega Blocks or Little People Builder blocks would work, as would regular old wooden blocks. You will also need some washi tape. I got ours online here ( affiliate link), as well as some Scotch brand washi tape at Target.
Start by wrapping the tape around the blocks. Make a few blocks with the same tape.
Time to build. Mix the different blocks with tape along with some without the tape for a fun group of blocks to build with.

I was keen to do some slow projects that would give me the enjoyment of piecing every month without the pressure of expecting a finished quilt. With that in mind I signed up to take a free Craftsy class to make a block each month. I liked the idea that some of the blocks would also teach me some new techniques and the videos are a great visual way of learning for me.
When the girls over at And Sew We Craft decided to do a Block of the Month quilt too, that fitted in perfectly. We each chose two blocks from the Modern Blocks book and then we have taken turns to share the tutorials and the blocks. It is so interesting to see how different the blocks look in different fabrics!
Best of all I have been able to use some of the skills I learnt in the first BOM (Block of the Month) to make the blocks in the ModernQAL (Modern Quilt Along). It has been fun.
The Craftsy class is all but finished. There is one more block in the class that I have decided to switch out. I’m not a huge fan of applique flower baskets and I like the other geometric blocks so I will look at how I can join them into a quilt top without that block in the coming weeks.

This month we're making what I'm calling a patchwork mosaic block, using the color palette below.
These block are basically 9 patches made of 4" units that will measure 12.5" unfinished. Each block has between 0-3 pieced blocks, the rest being unpieced patches. Use pattered fabrics, please, no solids. Decide on the arrangement for your blocks and cut the needed number of solid patches to 4.5" square.
For the pieced blocks, you can make any block you want to that is 4.5" unfinished. There's always a 4-patch, start with 2.5" squares. Or there are a bunch of blocks you could make from 2.5" HSTs.
You could make a log cab or court-house steps block from 1.5" strips. You can make almost any paperpieced block by scaling it down appropriately. Keep it simple or be as ambitious as you like. Have fun!
Arrange your pieces randomly and sew together into a 9 patch measuring 12.5".

All un-planed blocks are usually close to the listed length, width, and depth but are occasionally + or -1/8 inch because of conversions from English to metric in some of the milling shops. If exact lengths, widths, or depths are crucial to your order please specify this in the comment box below for 20% extra and we will meet your needs.
Balsa Blocks or planks are 1x1 inches or larger chunks of balsa. Balsa can vary between 3# (foam weight) - 40# (oak weight) for pounds per cubic foot (lbs/cuft) but the most common densities are 8-16 pounds per cubic foot. We can also dimension the blocks to most any size. Balsa blocks are used for carving of decoys, statues, toys, industrial projects, airplane parts, and decorations.
Normally the biggest balsa blocks we get in are 3x4 un-laminated. If you require something larger than 3x4 un-laminated mention it in the Order Notes below and there is a 50% additional fee. For most balsa blocks larger than 3x4 we usually have to laminate from a few smaller blocks to make the larger sizes. The blocks turn out square and smooth after the lamination process.

As I was playing Jenga, it just hit me. The same way that we strategize every move while playing the game, we should think and strategize every move we make in our life. When we make decisions without thinking through them, it often leads us to regretting the decision, or wishing that we had taken more time to think about the choice we made, and how it will impact us and others as well.

There are 32 wooden blocks to play with including some plain multi-coloured blocks for adding dimension and expanding the fun possibilities.
Little Mr and I have put fun to the test with the blocks by initially building up towers and obviously, him knocking them down again. He thinks it’s a great game and will happily spend a good ten minutes watching me build up the towers (with a little bit of Little Mr’s help passing me the blocks) and then knocking them down and clapping his achievement once they’re on the ground.

I suppose this is a remnant of the personal styles and preferences of some of the masters of prior generations in how they preferred to do demos. But it is just not true. Any of the techniques in aikido can be done large and flowing into projection, or small and abruptly throwing straight downward into control.
The aikido we do (coming from Tomiki Sensei) was much influenced by Kano's ideas and interactions with Tomiki. I've heard it said that one of Jigoro Kano's pet theories about physical education is that large motions are more appropriate for beginners and small motions are more appropriate for experts. (Incidentally, Funakoshi said the same thing about karate-do.) So, it would make sense that our preference for large flowing motion and projection was intended by the old masters to be appropriate for beginners. But at some point you have to move beyond the beginner exercises (I think we generally have a problem with this in a lot of ways in our aikido, but that's a post for another day).

I've avoided telling my teacher about it since she lets me choose a lot of the music I do, so I just choose music that doesn't have that much tonguing in it! (I'm in Year 11). I've heard about double tonguing, but maybe that's a bit advanced? Thanks!
When you're thinking about articulation and tonguing, remember that the tongue has muscles in it. So we need to train those muscles and learn how to use them as efficiently as possible.
My advice with any sort of practice where you're developing a technique is to set yourself some goals - with this one, you can do something as easy as playing your scales at a certain metronome marking (say 4 notes at crotchet = 60 as an example) and then tell yourself that every day for 2 weeks you'll increase the metronome by 1 or 2 notches. In 2 weeks you'll be tonguing around crotchet = 80 which is a dramatic increase! My rule for this sort of thing is I have to get it right 3 times in a row before I can increase the metronome marking!
The other thing to know is that articulation actually has a lot to do with air, so just be aware of how fast you're blowing while you're working on this and experiment a bit.
I think you're right with that for now, we can

Some of you may have read one of my facebook posts a while back on smiling, but this time I am going to dig a little deeper. Why do we smile? Let’s look at all the situations when we usually smile, shall we?
First, the obvious, we smile when something makes us happy. For me, there are a lot of things that make me happy. Sleeping until my alarm goes off, hitting all green lights on my way to work, having the dishes done when I get home, a large thunderstorm, the smell outside after rain when the sun peeks out, Christmas music, a big mug of coffee, and the arms of my loved ones wrapped tightly around me. There are a lot more, but you get the idea.
Next, we will move on to laughter. We laugh when something is funny, and usually we smile in the process. I can think of several things that make me laugh. My husband and daughter make me laugh a lot, along with the rest of my family. A good, clean joke, anything vulgar just makes me roll my eyes; will usually get my belly a jiggling. I also love watching romantic comedies. They can get me laughing in a wonderful way, like a laugh/cry.

Retrieved Text: Why do people sometimes say that when we look at stars that are very far away that we are "looking back in time"?
This is because of the finite speed of light. When we look at objects that are very large distances away from us, the light that is hitting us now will have started from the object quite a long time ago, so in effect we aren't looking at what the object looks like now but what it looked like some time ago (when the light was emitted).
For example, Proxima Centauri, which is the closest star to us (other than the Sun), is about 4 light-years away. This means that the light we see from it now left the star about 4 years ago. Something catastrophic could have happened to the star within those four years and we can't know about it yet (but that's unlikely, by the way!).
Similarly, even the light you see from nearby objects is slightly delayed, but since the speed of light is about a foot per nanosecond (billionth of a second!), the finite speed of light doesn't matter much in everyday life. However, you may notice it on TV broadcasts involving communication between people who are on opposite sides of the Earth. It takes time for the signal from one person to reach the other, so you may observe a slight delay between one person's question and the other's response.

We hope Malek’s villain has a novelty henchman like the Bond villains of old, at least some part of their body should be made of metal or wear a deadly accessory. That, and Daniel Craig pretending he likes playing Bond in press interviews is all we ask.
The shoot has been delayed by two months after Danny Boyle, the original director, left over ‘creative differences’ and True Detective director Cary Joji Fukunaga stepped in.
Bond 25 will hit cinemas next April and starts shooting imminently, but Malek hasn’t given anything away yet. When asked by ET about being linked to the project, he replied “We’ll have to see about that – it would be nice to play a villain, that would be another dream role for me. I’ve got to play so many great ones so far so who knows.” Suitably vague, cunning even, cunning enough for a Bond villain? Watch this space.

Now, a team at Purdue University has found that a compound called F6 is effective at killing bacteria that have already evolved resistance to existing antibiotics. In tests, the new drug also seems less susceptible to bacterial resistance down the track.
The discovery and use of antibiotics was one of the greatest scientific achievements of the 20th century, as previously-dangerous procedures quickly became safe and infections relatively easy to treat. But after decades of overuse and overprescription, bacteria are fighting back, with more and more antibiotics becoming ineffective – including some of our last lines of defense.

Type 2 diabetes is caused when the body produces an insufficient amount of insulin for it to function properly or when insulin resistance occurs, which describes the failure of the body’s cells to react with insulin. Fortunately, the symptoms of type 2 diabetes can be controlled by monitoring blood glucose levels. Among the many symptoms that are associated with type 2 diabetes, excessive thirst, fatigue, weight loss and more frequent urination are common. However, not everybody who has type 2 diabetes will suffer symptoms immediately. One of the most serious effects of type 2 diabetes is hyperglycaemia, which refers to an increased presence of glucose in the blood. If left untreated, hyperglycaemia can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis and, ultimately, death. Obesity is commonly cited as a primary cause of type 2 diabetes.
Genetic predisposition DNA testing for type 2 diabetes is useful for identifying those who are most likely to develop the condition. There are a number of known causes or precursors to type 2 diabetes that can be taken into consideration when evaluating an individual, such as age, weight and ethnic origin. In respect to the latter, it has been found that UK residents of African-Caribbean or South Asian descent are at least five times more likely to develop the condition than a white person. Research has also shown that a genetic predisposition to type 2 diabetes does exist, with variants in the PPARG

That report–confirmed by Hamas itself–emerged in 2012, not from the Israeli government, but the sympathetic Journal of Palestine Studies, in an article that otherwise celebrated the secret tunnel system as a symbol of Palestinian resistance to the Israeli “siege” of the Gaza Strip.
The article, “Gaza’s Tunnel Phenomenon: The Unintended Dynamics of Israel’s Siege,” was published in the Summer 2012 edition of the Journal by Nicholas Pelham, who writes for the Economist and the New York Review of Books, according to his bio. It is receiving new attention thanks to Myer Freimann of Tablet, an online journal of Jewish affairs, whose post about Hamas’s use of child labor has gone viral in social media.
Pelham wrote that despite the economic success of the tunnels underneath the Egyptian border, which enriched Hamas through a thriving black market as well as arming it with new weapons, there were a few drawbacks. One of these was a “cavalier approach to child labor and tunnel fatalities,” he noted. “During a police patrol that the author was permitted to accompany in December 2011, nothing was done to impede the use of children in the tunnels, where, much as in Victorian coal mines, they are prized for their nimble bodies. At least 160 children have been killed in the tunnels, according to Hamas officials” (emphasis added).

Depends upon how fast you want the trike to move.
How does varying the voltage take effect on it???????

Apart from '1kW' we know nothing about your motor so can't answer those questions.
On level ground the principal sources of drag are wind resistance, tire rolling resistance, then everything else (bearings, power transfer, etc.), in that order. Air drag goes up roughly with the square of speed, and that will determine your top end speed.
Acceleration or speed up a hill is limited by simple physics, and you can get a decent estimate by just ignoring wind resistance.
It takes a fair amount of power to raise 200kgs up an incline; about 54 watt-hours for an elevation increase of 100m.
2 people is already close to 200kg. The trike frame with batteries, motor, steering, 3 wheels etc will be pretty heavy too. Budget for maybe 350kg total.
500W is totally inadequate for that size vehicle. Even a 1kW motor will give pretty poor performance, and you can forget 40mph. You may get a "fast jogging" speed 10-12mph.
Most likely your gonna need a motor larger than 10kW, probably closer to the power of a small car engine ie 50-100kW.
That seems a little excessive. A car with 50kW engine usually weighs around 1200kg and gets 0-100km/h in about 15 seconds. I think that 10kW motor will still be overkill for a two-person trike.

Currently it is only for use in evaluating resistance of gastro-intestinal roundworm parasites in sheep and calves.
Pre-treatment faecal egg counts (FECs) of 12 animals are compared against FECs 10-12 days post anthelmintic treatment to calculate the percentage faecal egg count reduction for each anthelmintic treatment.
Larval cultures are used to determine which parasite genera were present at the commencement of the FECRT, and which of those parasites are resistant to any of the anthelmintic treatments.
The optimal time to undertake the drench resistance test is in the spring or autumn when parasite levels are usually at their highest, and when most of the parasite genera are present.
The drench resistance test is best performed on young animals (less than 1 year of age) as their less developed immune systems are likely to result in higher and more varied parasite burdens.

What is the difference and should these conditions be treated differently? How is it possible that two doctors think I have two different conditions?
Insulin resistance is usually found in people who are overweight. The metabolic changes that are brought on by excess weight prevent cells in the liver and muscles from utilizing glucose, despite normal insulin levels in the body. Insulin is the hormone that helps our body metabolize, or burn, glucose. The body in effect becomes "resistant" to insulin. The body's response to this is to produce more insulin. Unlike some diabetics, whose bodies produce insufficient amount of insulin, individuals who have insulin resistance have high levels of insulin early on in the disease. This process is rather complex and genetic susceptibility to diabetes plays a big role, but suffice it to say that long-term insulin resistance eventually leads to diabetes.
The goal of treatment is to normalize day-to-day sugar levels. If you are carrying excess weight and your pancreas still produces an adequate amount of insulin, most likely you have some degree of insulin resistance. You will benefit, therefore, from medicines that are considered insulin "sensitizers."

Camping World and Gander Mountain are owned by the same parent company now. As to why they are so much cheaper: no idea. On sale? Loss leader?
It is the same product (based on product code) as other vendors.
When looking at the difference it appears the less expensive one has the flow through caps, the other doesn't.
IMO I'd think the flow through design would be the better choice, easier to add air if needed, and it's less expensive.
On another forum a member posted that he called TST to order a 507 system. The TST person suggested that he instead check with CW as they were currently running a sale on the same system.
As for the flow thru, some have complained that it takes a long time to add just a few pounds of air thru the flow thru sensors.
I had the TST 507 flow through and had issues with them. Some wouldn't allow me to air up at all without unscrewing them anyway. Also you can't get a good read with a gauge and have to remove them for an accurate reading. For those reasons I would go with caps.

Everyone was busy in the shop. Out in the yard we were doing new fencing for the horses. We were also stocking up on supplies needed for the Sculpture Magic Workshop that starts tomorrow. In between I worked at my design table and other various jobs.
Some of the tasks we were doing were not glamorous nor flashy, but still very necessary. One such item(s) was the first batch of fence posts, now ready for the application of concrete and then sculpting.
The hard working crew has also finished almost a hundred rock forms, both welded and wired. These will be soon welded to the 'dirt bank' structures that forms the mountain before we apply the concrete in the coming weeks.
When I went to town for supplies I stopped in up at Cultus Lake to see progress on-site. The large crew up there has been very busy to say the least. The bumper boat pool bottom was poured today. Next week they will backfill the pool and begin work on the island which will support the raised deck for the giant swing ride. That will be our cue to begin our theme work on site.

How is Pressure Related to Altitude and Depth?
The typical altimeter (and/or depth gauge) is a pressure measuring instrument that calculates its altitude (or depth) according to the local air or water pressure.
Below we explain how is pressure related to altitude and depth and show you how to calculate both air pressure and water pressure.
1 litre of air has a weight of approximately 1 gram.
A column of air 10m high and 1cm² area (1 litre) creates a pressure of 1g/cm² = 1mbar, so the pressure at sea level is approximately 1000mbar.
At 100m above sea level, the air pressure is 900mbar. The air pressure has decreased by 100mbar.
Altimeters are based on these changes of the atmospheric pressure and are used in aircraft and by mountain climbers. They always need correction for the variation of that pressure. Pilots will ask for the barometric pressure at runway level prior to landing, and mountain climbers will correct their altimeters at a location of known altitude.
Water is about 1000 times heavier than air, and so 1 litre of water has a mass of 1kg and a volume of 1000cm³.
Again, if we produce a column 10m high and 1cm² area, we will create a water pressure of 1kg/cm² at the bottom (1kg/cm² = 1bar). The pressure in water increases by 1bar for every 10m depth.
At 100m, water pressure is 10bar, relative to the surface. But the absolute pressure is 11bar (1bar is the atmospheric pressure on the water surface, plus 10bar water pressure).

Q. A couple of years ago I started re-reading my old ORGANIC GARDENING magazines from when you were the Editor (I kept them all!), which led to me finding your podcasts and I've been listening ever since. Now I have a question: Are cinder blocks safe to use to make raised beds? My daughter would like to use them for this purpose but the information pro and con on the internet is confusing and unconvincing. Is there really a risk of the substances used in making the blocks leaching into a raised bed? (In the Pacific Northwest we get a lot of precipitation, which can cause a lot of leaching). I told her that I would trust your opinion. Thank you for continuing to help keep our world safe. P.S. I was one of those subscribers who had to fight to get the issue with the infamous comic book cover away from my kids!
A. If you're thinking, "did Mike really put a comic book cover on a gardening magazine?" the answer is yes. Back in 1992, I got my old friend Marvel Comics Editor and Publisher (and now movie star) Stan Lee to come speak to the entire Rodale staff and we did a tribute to the cover of Fantastic Four #1 in his honor. The response was crazy; we got write ups in a lot of national magazines.

Today I moved a lot of the stuff that was there, broke up some palettes, and pulled up a lot of bermuda grass, straggler daisy and stray sunflowers.

I was keen to do some slow projects that would give me the enjoyment of piecing every month without the pressure of expecting a finished quilt. With that in mind I signed up to take a free Craftsy class to make a block each month. I liked the idea that some of the blocks would also teach me some new techniques and the videos are a great visual way of learning for me.
When the girls over at And Sew We Craft decided to do a Block of the Month quilt too, that fitted in perfectly. We each chose two blocks from the Modern Blocks book and then we have taken turns to share the tutorials and the blocks. It is so interesting to see how different the blocks look in different fabrics!
Best of all I have been able to use some of the skills I learnt in the first BOM (Block of the Month) to make the blocks in the ModernQAL (Modern Quilt Along). It has been fun.

Better Builder’s Wands Mod for Minecraft 1.13 adds four different wands that you can use in survival or creative gameplay. These wands are designed to make menial and repetitive building tasks easier and can be used to place several blocks at once in either vertical or horizontal from the player’s crosshair.
The simplest tool can be crafted using two sticks and one cobblestone block. This wand can only place 5 blocks at a time and can only be used horizontally. The wand also has a very low durability and can be broken quite easily.
The second-tier wand can place 9 blocks at a time and has two modes: Vertical placement and Horizontal placement.
The wand for the serious builder, the Diamond Builder’s Wand can place up to 1500+ blocks at once and can be used quite a lot before breaking.
The ultimate wand this mod offers is great for using in Creative mode or if you are really serious in building a huge structure. This final-tier wand can use all the blocks in your inventory in one use and doesn’t run out or break.
The Better Builder’s Wands mod requires Minecraft Forge. The mod can be installed easily by downloading the mod from the link below and dropping the downloaded file in the mods folder inside Minecraft directory.

That’s the bottom line from David Widmar, an agricultural economist with ageconomists.com and Purdue University, who will be the keynote speaker at GrowingOn® 2019 at five locations in Kansas in December. He points to revenues declining faster than production costs as the cause of the squeeze.
As producers seek to maintain black ink, paying close attention to feed and pasture costs is critical, Widmar says. Combined, these costs account for two-thirds of total variable costs and about half of all costs.
KFMA records for 2017 also indicate the difference in feed cost between the top third and bottom third of producers based on a margin of 30 percent for calves and almost 40 percent for feeder cattle, with the higher-margin third paying $89/head less per calf and almost $163 less per feeder.
The difference in pasture rent is less, with the higher-margin producers paying 10 percent more per calf and 20 percent more per feeder. In other words, they likely have better-quality pastures.
Some other costs have even larger percentage differences between top-third and bottom-third margins, but they are less important on the whole due to their smaller role in overall costs.
Overall, the high-margin producers using KFMA had net returns $334 per head higher than the low-margin producers.

The berries, nuts, meat, and pasta that we eat, and the hops and grapes that we drink, for instance, are made possible in large part by the skilled labor of farm workers. Farm workers, however, tend to be socially, geographically, and economically disadvantaged. They often labor in rural areas, and are therefore physically invisible to the majority of Americans. Farm workers tend to be racial and ethnic minorities, and are often immigrants. They are often poorly compensated for their labor. The multiple forms of oppression that they experience further contribute to their isolation and invisibility. Similar to the rest of the U.S., farm workers in Idaho face social and economic challenges. While Idaho farm workers face long hours, low wages, and inadequate housing, they continue to produce for the consumption habits of Americans, as well as for global markets. Building on our previous work in immigration studies (Meierotto) and agriculture and food system inequality (Som Castellano), we decided to conduct research examining the well-being of farm workers and their families in Idaho.
We began conducting ethnographic research with Idaho agricultural workers In December 2016. We wanted to learn more about the challenges farm workers face in maintaining their well-being, paying particular attention to household food security and the labor of food provisioning.

AppMania‘s new Farm It! Seasons is unlike any Old McDonald tune you’ve ever sung and it’s worth checking out.
As the heroic head rooster on the farm you’re obliged to solve the chick population problem by giving the hens a little action. To do this you have to tap near the hens and watch as they partake in a short and clever animation session of jump rope or something like it.
Being the man of many hens doesn’t come without its trials though, and keeping the hens laying and happy isn’t any old walk in the park.

There’s also a dog happy to ruffle your feathers if you try anything while he’s awake. Apparently the farm is full of enemies ready to stick their nose in your business.
To gain victory over these nosy troublemakers you have to tap your rooster to different parts of the farm strategically, picking up bonuses and dropping them in front of enemies just as they approach. Avoid all the wrong things while giving the hens all the right things at just the right time.

Of course, we – especially in the West, love elephants. We are fascinated by these amazing and intelligent creatures. We get very, very angry when they are killed for their tusks.
However, for the Africans who live in close proximity to elephants, life can be challenging, resulting in human-elephant conflict. The reason for this, is quite simply because of elephant raids on crops upon which the people depend for survival. Population growth has ultimately put people in conflict with elephants.
"The root cause of human-elephant conflict is the exploding human population growth and resultant pressure on elephant habitat. Habitat loss and degradation inevitably lead to conflict. As Kenya's human population soars, elephant populations will continue to be under greater pressure."
However, a brilliant and innovative solution has been found, using honey bees to create a ‘Bee Hive Fence’.
Why are bees being used to deter elephants?
It has been found that elephants will avoid trees where bee nests or swarms are present.
Less dangerous – when the local people attempt to guard their crops themselves, they risk their own lives. The bee hive fence means the people can leave the bees to deter the elephants!
It prevents the killing of elephants – elephants populations are in a dire state, so this is a very good thing!

In the combined eight decades Missouri brothers Mark and Terry Drury have chased big whitetails in the farm country of the Midwest, they’ve learned a few things ­— some the hard way.
The first lesson they learned was simple: A whitetail is still a whitetail, no matter where it lives.
Mark says farm-country bucks offer some unique challenges because of the agriculture and native foods they rely on, not to mention the mix of habitat types: rolling, tree-lined hills, open fields and dense creek bottoms. And of course, you must factor in the habits of people working and living on the land. All these variables impact where big bucks are and when they move.
“Because their food sources and bedding areas are often so close in certain areas of farm country, it does make it more difficult for hunters to intersect with the travels of a mature buck,” Mark says. Now add in the changing seasons, crop rotation, livestock, domestic animals, predators, human workers and other intrusion into the deer’s back yard. Finally, factor in the element of different buck personalities within a deer herd, and daytime deer movement easily can be suppressed.
When that happens, key points the brothers have learned over the years serve as their bedrock hunting principles. And in the breadbasket of America, one of those factors is obvious: food.

The almost electrical interference of the pixels on the sensor is what creates noise. Noise is a random textured, almost grainlike pattern that interferes with the image quality. The bigger the number, the more likely you are to see this noise.
The lower the number, the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain. In bright light, a low ISO number (about 100 or 200) can be used to get a clean image at most apertures and shutter speeds.
However, in dim light, you may need to increase the ISO number to capture the image you are after (as it will allow changes in the aperture and shutter speed). However, the higher the ISO, the more likely that the image will appear more grainy.
How distracting the grain is, depends on your taste. In urban photography, the gritty quality of noise can add another dimension or element to the image. Its all about finding the balance between the components of the photography triangle to get the image you want.
Be prepared that in low light situations where you would need to increase the ISO that there is going to be a risk of noise or grain.
The rules of photography are open to interpretation. Don’t be afraid to experiment to find your style.

I don’t think it is traction control, more likely stability management (read yaw control). Start by checking your tire pressures to see if one or more is unusallly low.
All tire pressures good. Traction control light flashes on the dash and car feels like it is swaying/rolling at highway speeds.
Traction control operates on the basis of different tire rotational speeds, hence my question about air pressure levels, which can trigger the system, as can differences it tire diameters caused by wear or mismatch tires. My suggestion would be to put a Porsche specific scan tool in the car and take it for a ride, watching what the system is doing when the problem occurs. You can also set the diagnostic tool to capture real time data to look at later.

Take a close look at the tires to see if one looks more worn that another, sometimes small differences it diameter trigger these reactions.

For the first time, infinite speeds have been achieved on a computer microchip.
How do they do it? When you see a pulse of light, that pulse is comprised of a packet of light waves all blended together. Because light acts as a wave, energy within the light wave rises and falls across a space. When a pulse of light moves through a material that bends, scatters, or absorbs light, the packet of light waves are of course scattered and can interfere with each other. This causes the crest of the waves to surge forward, driving the waves to travel faster than light.
To create the microchip, scientists created a metamaterial that has a refractive index of zero. That means when light waves shine through a zero index substance, the waves are able to travel through it at infinitely fast speeds, without violating any principles of physics.

The above info is correct at the time of writing, but do be aware that providers' official upload speeds can change, even when download speeds don't.

Shutter speed is one part of the exposure triangle of photography. The other two are aperture and exposure. Shutter speed, although just one part of that, is a very important part of photography to become familiar with.
Shutter speed is how long the camera shutter stays open to bring light into the camera's sensor. How long the sensor is exposed to light will greatly effect the type of photo you end up taking. It can blur or sharpen movement taken by your camera. Shutter speed can also stop movement in the picture.
Shutter speed is measured by fractions of a second. Shutter speeds can be as slow as 1/4 of a second and as fast as 1/4000 of a second. Use varying shutter speeds for your shots to see the effects it has on movement in your photographs.
Another part of shutter speed that needs to be considered is exposure. Exposure determines how bright a picture turns out. A fast shutter speed may result in a darker image. ISO and aperture may also need to be adjusted to get the ideal light or dark photo.

Here are 4 easy steps to get you started with outdoor portraits.
If you're out shooting on a sunny day, it's best to find shade and darker areas. Direct sunlight is harsh and unpleasant and it also casts bad looking shadows on the subject's face. One other option is to shoot on a cloudy day. Clouds act like a natural diffuser, making the like soft and even.
This is especially important when photographing children. Because they have quick movements, using a slow shutter speed will result in blurry images. Use at least 1/160th or 1/250th of a second. If the light isn't good enough for these speeds, boost the ISO and open the aperture to its widest value. Prime lenses are best for outdoor portraits, and one of the reasons is their unmatched brightness that allows you to use fast shutter speeds in low light.

Flipping the camera dial off “automatic” can be a little intimidating, but the results will be well worth the effort. Before flipping the dial it’s important to understand some camera basics.
When the shutter release button is pushed to take a picture, the shutter is opened to expose the camera’s sensor to the image in view and then closed after a certain amount of time. How long the image is exposed to the sensor is determined by the shutter speed. Faster or slower shutter speeds will have different effects on a picture. A fast shutter speed is useful for freezing action, like in sports photography. A slow shutter speed is useful for low light photography or for artistic effects like a motion blur.
Fast shutter speeds are measured in fractions of a second like 1/200 of a second and can stop action like the falling pear on the left, above. Slow shutter speeds can be small fractions like 1/15 of a second (pear on the top right) or even full seconds like 30 seconds.
Hand-holding a camera can be difficult at slow shutter speeds because the photographer’s hand might shake.

Modern communication is the result of humans learning how to utilise radio waves, an invisible form of light, to transmit data. Now however, scientists and technologists are wanting to use physical lights to help provide a low cost alternative to Wi-Fi.
First developed by a team led by Harold Haas, light fidelity (Li-Fi) is a ‘bi-directional, high speed and fully networked wireless communication system’ that uses LED bulbs to transmit data. The technology works by pulsing LED lights, imperceptible to the human eye, to enable data transfer.

Evaluation of an icy road surface warning system installed on a mountain road in California indicated that, when the warnings of icy conditions were activated, mean speeds were more than 5 mph (8 km/h) lower than when no warnings were shown (Veneziano and Ye, 2011).

That would be a tenfold increase on the network’s current peak capability and would mean you could download multiple HD movies in just a second.
The company has been trialling the next generation tech in laboratory conditions in Melbourne which works by sending multiple wavelengths of light down a single strand of fibre.
Before you start asking where to sign up there will be some limitations — it will only be available if you have a fibre to the premise (FTTP) connection. At current projections, that will be slightly more than 20 per cent of homes and businesses on the NBN.
There has been no commitment made on when, or even if, the technology will be introduced in Australia and is likely to be five to 10 years away from reality.
Currently the NBN wholesaler already offers 1Gbps download speeds for those with an FTTP connection but retailers such Telstra, Optus and TPG only offer a top range of 100Mbps for customers.
“The NG-PON2 trials we have conducted with Nokia have shown us the huge potential this very exciting technology

We expect the global number of broadband homes to have grown by about two percent to 715 million by the end of 2015. The term ‘broadband’ is a blanket term that describes an ever-widening range of different performance levels, from a few megabits per second (Mbit/s) up to a few hundred Mbit/s. Average broadband speed obtained in most markets should increase by between 15 and 25 percent . This average, however, obscures significant differences between households.
The term “broadband divide” often refers to the gulf between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’. This gap is important, but it is also critical to recognize variations between the ‘haves’. The gulf between those with access to the fastest broadband speeds and those on basic speeds has widened over recent years; and in the near term looks likely to increase further. In many markets the top decile of broadband homes are likely to enjoy ten times or greater the average speed of those in the bottom decile.
Location. Typically, the further a home is from an exchange, the lower the speeds. Rural homes are more scattered, and so typically, due to the distance from the exchange, have lower broadband speeds.
Technology. There are four main types of broadband technology, each of which offers a different range of speeds and currently supports a different set of applications. ADSL – the original broadband technology -- should always be good enough for general

Every object may have Potential energy but Gravitational Potential energy is only stored in the height of the object. Any time that a heavy object is kept high up, a force or power is likely to be holding it up there. This is the reason why it stays up and does not fall. It is important to note that the heavier the object, the more its potential energy.
Consider Mr Green throwing a bag of gold coins to Mr Red, who is up a tower. As Mr Green throws the bag from A to B, potential energy is transferred from Mr Green into the bag, which now has kinetic energy.
As the bag moves upwards, kinetic energy decreases, and gravitational energy increases. At the highest point (B) Kinetic energy is zero, and Gravitational potential energy is highest.
As the bag did not get to Mr Red, it starts falling from point B downwards due to gravity. It starts falling slowly (kinetic energy is low) and then speeds up downwards.
At point A, the bag is at full speed and kinetic energy is highest, whiles gravitational energy is nearly lost.
When the bag of gold coins hits the ground, kinetic energy is converted into heat and sound by the impact.
It is worth noting that the higher the gravitational energy of an object moving downwards, the lower the kinetic energy, and the lower the kinetic energy of an object moving upwards, the higher its gravitational energy.

Scattered photons are deflected from their original path after their interaction with the object. This additional contribution of the scattered photons results in increased measured intensities, since the scattered intensity simply adds to the transmitted intensity. This effect is seen as an overestimation in the measured intensity thus corresponding to an underestimation of absorption. This results in artifacts like cupping, shading, streaks etc. on the reconstructed images. Moreover, the scattered radiation provides a bias for the quantitative tomography reconstruction (for example atomic number and volumic mass measurement with dual-energy technique). The effect can be significant and difficult in the range of MeV energy using large objects due to higher Scatter to Primary Ratio (SPR). Additionally, the incident high energy photons which are scattered by the Compton effect are more forward directed and hence more likely to reach the detector. Moreover, for MeV energy range, the contribution of the photons produced by pair production and Bremsstrahlung process also becomes important. We propose an evaluation of a scattering correction technique based on the method named Scatter Kernel Superposition (SKS). The algorithm uses a continuously thickness-adapted kernels method. The analytical parameterizations of the scatter kernels are derived in terms of material thickness, to form continuously thickness-adapted kernel maps in order to correct the projections. This approach has proved to be efficient in producing better sampling of the kernels with respect to the object thickness.

These missing parts can be detected, and the scanner can be reconfigured for the following scan.
In order to achieve a better scan, the transformations of the scanner's motors will be adjusted in such a way that these missing parts will be seen from a better angle. These transformations can be calculated from the results of the previous scans. The point cloud is analyzed, for example, normal vectors are calculated for the points, and the transformations for the following scan are calculated. These transformations are created so that it is the most likely to scan every part of the object based on the previously scanned point cloud.
The calculations also contain a list of points that must be visible from each scanned point (for example the camera and the laser) and it also contains an ideal point that is used for optimization purposes.

A vehicle has a certain mass, and when the speed it moves at increases, the energy the object contains increases as well. When this object needs to be slowed down for whatever reason, this amount of energy needs to go somewhere. The use of friction is a regularly used solution, where the braking systems consists out of 2 objects being pressed against each other. 1 object moves with the vehicle while another object remains stationary. The friction creates heat, which absorbs part of the energy from the moving vehicle. Without brakes, a vehicle has no way to slow down or stop completely.

The most commonly used dowsing rod is a forked (Y-shaped). Many dowsers today use a pair of simple L-shaped metal rods. One rod is held in each hand, with the short arm of the L held upright, and the long arm pointing forward. When something is found, the rods cross over one another making an "X" over the found object. If the object is long and straight, such as a water pipe, the rods will point in opposite directions, showing its orientation.

By understanding and applying a few principles we can make images that are more believable, and create materials that behave more predictably in different lighting setups.
In modern renderers, physically based rendering generally refers to concepts like energy conservation, physically plausible scattering and layering in materials and linear color spaces. Arnold is a physically based renderer, but it also lets you break the rules and create materials and lights that do not obey the laws of physics if you wish. In this document we'll explain the underlying theory and how to set up your shaders to follow these principles.
Arnold supports various third party applications such as Substance Painter.
In rendering we simulate photons emitted from lights, travelling through the air and bouncing off surfaces and through volumes, eventually ending up on a camera sensor. The combination of millions of photons on the camera sensor then forms the rendered image.
This means that from a physics point of view, surface shaders describe how the surface interacts with photons. Photons hitting an object can be absorbed, reflect off the surface, refract through the surface, or scatter around inside the object. The combination of these components results in a wide variety of materials.
Unless an object is a light source that emits photons, it can't return more energy than is being contributed by the incoming light. For a material to be energy conserving the number of photons leaving the

Computer illustration of microquasar LS5039. Image credit: PPARC.
In a recent issue of Science Magazine, the High energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) team of international astrophysicists reports the discovery of another new type of very high energy (VHE) gamma ray source.
The object that is producing the high energy radiation is thought to be a 'microquasar'. These objects consist of two stars in orbit around each other. One star is an ordinary star, but the other has used up all its nuclear fuel, leaving behind a compact corpse. Depending on the mass of the star that produced it, this compact object is either a neutron star or a black hole, but either way its strong gravitational pull draws in matter from its companion star. This matter spirals down towards the neutron star or the black hole, in a similar way to water spiraling down a plughole.
However, sometimes the compact object receives more matter than it can cope with. The material is then squirted away from the system in a jet of matter moving at speeds close to that of light, resulting in a microquasar. Only a few such objects are known to exist in our Galaxy and one of them, an object called LS5039, has now been detected by the H.E.S.S. team.
In fact, the real nature LS5039 is something of a mystery. It is not clear what the compact object is. Some of the characteristics suggest it is a Neutron star, some that it is a black hole. Not only that,

In “project” chapters, I’ll stop pummeling you with new theory for a brief moment and instead work through a program with you. Theory is indispensable when learning to program, but it should be accompanied by reading and understanding nontrivial programs.
Our project in this chapter is to build a virtual ecosystem, a little world populated with critters that move around and struggle for survival.
To make this task manageable, we will radically simplify the concept of a world. Namely, a world will be a two-dimensional grid where each entity takes up one full square of the grid. On every turn, the critters all get a chance to take some action.
Thus, we chop both time and space into units with a fixed size: squares for space and turns for time. Of course, this is a somewhat crude and inaccurate approximation. But our simulation is intended to be amusing, not accurate, so we can freely cut such corners.
We can define a world with a plan, an array of strings that lays out the world’s grid using one character per square.
The “#” characters in this plan represent walls and rocks, and the “o” characters represent critters. The spaces, as you might have guessed, are empty space.

This article relates my observations over the years and tries to make sense out of the confusion that may exist when dowsers first set out on the earth energies trail.
The Earth Energies Group chose the name carefully by using the plural “energies” rather than the singular. This indicates that these energies may have many sources, in, on and around the earth. The statement made by many dowsers that every object has a dowsable energy field around it goes a long way to answering the question, but the significance is not fully appreciated.
Is the size of the object important? Is the position of the object important? Is the distance from the object important? Does the object need to be on the surface of the earth or can it be under the surface of the earth or above the surface of the earth?
If taken literally, the statement that every object has a dowsable energy field would mean that size is not important and that there is no cut off point right down to the smallest molecule or up to the largest feature in creation.

When an object points to another one, this is called strong reference, or just reference, as we used to say, and in this case the GC will not collect that obhject as a "garbage". The WeakReferences are kind of references, the objects, which they point to can be collected, and if later they will be accessed throug the WeakReference, the access will fail.
The managed heap contains two internal data structures whose sole purpose is to manage weak references: short and long weak reference tables.
If an object has a short weak reference to itself, and is collected, then it's finalization method doesn't run, and it is being collected immediately. For the long weak reference, when the garbage collector collects object pointed to by the long weak reference table only after determining that the object's storage is reclaimable. If the object has a Finalize method, the Finalize method has been called and the object was not resurrected.
These two tables simply contain pointers to objects allocated within the managed heap. Initially, both tables are empty. When you create a WeakReference object, an object is not allocated from the managed heap.

The likelyhood of an extinction event depends on the energy released during impact, which in turn depends on the mass (which is related to the size and density) and the velocity.
In general it is estimated that an object of 10km diameter or larger would result in many deaths and would release enough dust into the atmosphere to cause a 'nuclear' winter.

I do have a more in-depth post and free PDF about jump rings, but let’s do a quick overview, so you can make sure you have the right rings for the project.
It’s sturdy enough to not warp easily.
For the project, you will need 18 gauge jump rings that have an ID of 6mm. You can go as low as 5.9 or as high as 6.5, but 6mm is the “sweet spot”. You’ll also need some smaller rings for the ends — I think the ones I used were around 4mm, but you could use 3.5mm if that’s all you have. And if you only have the 6mm rings, you can use those as well! I just happen to like smaller rings for the ends.
For the beads, I highly suggest you use 6mm bicones. The reason is that the bicone shape lets the beads “snuggle down” and lets the top rings close easily. While you can use fire-polished or round beads, I don’t suggest you use them for this particular project — they make it very difficult to get the top rings closed.

I will try to to keep the level of this project adjustable, meaning you could make it at a workshop with heavy machinery and at home with relatively common tools. This is a fairly low budget project and the final cost will mostly depend on how much you choose to spend on your wood slab.
wooden slab - any type and size you like, I think a long narrow piece with the original trunk edge is best (like mine).
light housing - I used three E27 light housings but you can use more or less and different sizes (just make sure you get matching bulbs).
chain - I got two chains, 1 meter each, of a galvanized 4 mm link chain.
others - some wiring (preferably the color of your chain or clear) and wire connector, 6 hook screws (4 for the slab, 2 for the ceiling), varnish for the wood +cloth or brush to apply it (optional).
You should be able to find all these things (except for the wood) at your local hardware store but it's all also available online.
This is the hardest part of the project, especially if you aren't working at a workshop.
First cut the slab you want. Use whatever saw you have available that is easiest to use (table, band, chain or if you must - hand). Once you have the desired piece its time to straighten it out. The easiest way is using a planer

The trend in the jewelry making nowadays is the layered necklace. Basically, the beads and the chain are easy to make and you can make your own design by choosing various beads with different colors and sizes as well as to pick your own chain from the style of the chain up to the length of it. You can personalize the necklace to meet your style.
Step 2. Make up some beaded connectors from wire and beads. You can make any numbers of beaded connectors as they depend on the design and the length of your layered necklace. If you want to make 32” necklace, you can make 12 beaded connectors.
To make the beaded connector, you have to cut the wire for 4” long. At 1” from end, bend the wire to make the loop using the round nosed pliers. Then, circling the 1” tail around the wire below the loop to completely close off the loop. Circling the tail for about 3 times and cut the excess wire to leave only the loop.

Use light 24 gauge wire to practice with as it is easy to handle.
Take a piece of wire about 7-8cm long, grip it about two thirds along with your chain nose or flat nose pliers.
Bend the short end of the wire down to form a right angle.
Swap the wire over to your chain nose pliers and hold it at the bend.

After a while at this, you might be ready to draw something, and here is the foundation to most of my wire work- the loop.
With loops placed at strategic points in your work, you can build strength and stability. These are the connecting points in the sculpture. Without welds, or solder, you still need a way to connect, and these are better in my mind. Master this way, and other ways seem unsophisticated by comparison.

I have cut my wire, but still have a long enough piece to go through one of the holes, but still have enough to wrap around the part of wire just outside the loop. This is another key- when you wrap wire, it must be wrapped tightly and consistantly. This will keep your work from looking sloppy and conspicuous.

If the tenderness is severe, take ibuprofen or whatever you normally take for a headache or similar pain. Until your mouth becomes accustomed to the appliances, your lips, cheeks, and tongue may also become irritated for one to two weeks as they toughen and become accustomed to the surface of the braces.

Water, carbon dioxide and other small ions can diffuse freely through cell membranes. Concentration gradients occur in all organisms. Where they do, simple diffusion will transport things around. Nutrients being carried in blood for example will diffuse into those cells that need them. Diffusion is also vital for getting oxygen into cells and carbon dioxide out of them, for example, in humans. Facilitated diffusion occurs when substances move down the concentration gradient by "carrier proteins" in the cell membrane.Osmosis is also a type of passive transport involving the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. Water will move by diffusion from an area where there is more of it to an area where there is a less of it. This results in the movement of water from a dilute (less concentrated) solution to a stronger (more concentrated) solution. It is the way water enters and leaves a cell. Osmosis is a special case of the diffusion of water. Osmosis occurs when water diffuses across a semi permeable membrane. Semi-permeable membranes will let small molecules pass through it easily, but will hold back larger molecules like sucrose's. It acts as if it has tiny holes in it, too small for the larger molecules to squeeze through.

Any type of movement of fluids either in gaseous or liquid state, there must have pore system in concrete and depending on their internal connection system, the movement of fluid is varied.
We know intrusion of oxygen accelerates deterioration of metal reinforcement embedded within concrete and our aim is to reduce diffusion as small as possible. A term diffusion coefficient has already been introduced in our last post.
Pore system of concrete is noticed to change with time and which more prominent during hydration of cement paste. As diffusion is a function of interconnected pore system, diffusion co-efficient is also changed with time.
It is also noticed that diffusion through water filled space is significantly slower than that in air-filled space. In case of oxygen diffusion, it is obvious that moist curing significantly affect diffusion of oxygen through concrete. Diffusion coefficient of concrete is observed to reduce to great extent (up to a factor around 6) under prolong moist curing.
Moisture condition in the concrete has also significant influence on diffusion as water in pore also reduce diffusion rate. So a well cured concrete having less pores, pores with discontinuous system or water in pores, as a whole a good quality concrete have less susceptibility to diffusion.

During the fluid filtration, the parameter inhomogeneities lead to spatially irregular flows and are responsible for dispersion of the fluid particles, which causes convective diffusion that is additional to molecular diffusion. In contrast to the molecular diffusion, this diffusion is anisotropic and directly proportional to the filtration flow velocity. We consider the inhomogeneities of both permeability and porosity of the medium and report on analytical results for the most common options of their statistical properties. It was assumed that the inhomogeneities are relatively small and their autocorrelation function decays with the distance r not slower than 1/rβ, where β > 1. Direct numerical simulation for different cases confirmed the validity of the restrictions we adopted and the correctness of the analytical findings.

The topological characterization of the phase-separated gel systems is achieved by confocal microscopy and the diffusion measurements are performed using pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR and fluorescence recovery after photo-bleaching (FRAP). These two techniques gave complementary information about the mass transport at different time- and length scales, PFG NMR provided global diffusion rates in the gel systems, while FRAP enabled the measurements of diffusion in different phases of the phase-separated gels. The results revealed that the phase-separated gel with the largest characteristic wavelength had the fastest diffusion coefficient, while the gel with smaller microstructures had a slower probe diffusion rate. By using the diffusion data obtained by FRAP and the structural data from confocal microscopy, modelling through the lattice-Boltzmann framework was carried out to simulate the global diffusion and verify the validity of the experimental measurements. With this approach it was found that discrepancies between the two experimental techniques can be rationalized in terms of probe distribution between the different phases of the system. The combination of different techniques allowed the determination of diffusion in a phase-separated biopolymer gel and gave a clearer picture of this complex system. We also illustrate the difficulties that can arise if precautions are not taken to understand the system-probe interactions.

The interface significantly affects the mass transfer of CO2 between oil and water phase. In this paper, based on the determination of the CO2 diffusion coefficient in oil or water phases, the diffusion processes of CO2 from oil to water were experimentally investigated under different pressures. A numerical method was proposed to calculate the pressure drop and the diffusion coefficient in the process of CO2 diffusion from oil to water. The experimental results indicated that the CO2 diffusion coefficient in oil or water increased rapidly with pressure up to the critical pressure of CO2 and gradually slowed down thereafter. The CO2 diffusion from oil to water was much slower than that in oil or water. The diffusion coefficient of CO2 from oil to water was one magnitude lower than that in the single liquid phase of oil or water, and the effect of pressure was not significant. Based on the diffusion coefficient of CO2 in a single liquid phase and the proposed numerical method, the pressure drop and the numerical diffusion coefficient in the process of CO2 diffusion from oil to water were calculated. The relative errors between the experimental and numerical results were within 9%. Therefore, the numerical method proposed herein can be used to predict the diffusion process of CO2 from oil to water and the diffusion coefficient associated with this process.

To study the effect of these trapping sites, different microstructures with different surface ratio of grain boundaries were generated. In order to do this, hydrogen diffusion in both grains and grain boundaries was modelled using Cellular Automaton technique combined with the finite difference method. The simulation was implemented in two-dimensions (2D) in both grains and grain boundaries to highlight the significance of grain boundaries in hydrogen diffusion. The developed model was validated by comparing the simulation results with the experimental outcomes of hydrogen permeability measurements in X70 pipeline steel having different grain sizes. The results revealed that grain size (grain boundary fraction) has a two-fold influence on the diffusion rate, that is, in both very fine and very coarse microstructures diffusion rates are slower than for an optimum intermediate grain size.

Like all diffusional processes, it is driven by a gradient of free energy (chemical potential), created in this case by the applied stress. For example, an applied tensile stress creates regions of high hydrostatic tension at the extremities of each grain, along the loading direction. In what might be termed the “equatorial” regions of the grain, the hydrostatic stress is lower. Since atoms have a lower free energy in these “polar” regions of high hydrostatic stress (ie “low pressure” regions), they will tend to diffuse towards such regions and this motion will lead to elongation of the grain along the loading direction. Since this occurs on the scale of the individual grains, diffusion distances are shorter in fine-grained materials, which thus tend to be more susceptible to creep.
There are two types of diffusion creep, depending on whether the diffusion paths are predominantly through the grain boundaries, termed Coble creep (favoured at lower temperatures) or through the grains themselves, termed Nabarro-Herring creep (favoured at higher temperatures).
Dislocation creep is a mechanism involving motion of dislocations. This mechanism of creep tends to dominate at high stresses and relatively low temperatures.
Dislocations can move by gliding in a slip plane, a process requiring little thermal activation.
This is discussed in the Introduction to Dislocations TLP.
However, the rate-determining step for their motion is often a climb process, which requires diffusion and is thus time-dependent and favoured by higher temperatures. Obstacles in the slip plane, such as other dislocations, precipitates

The phase transition regulation of the coating after heating, the influence of heating at different temperatures and time on the reaction depth, and the correlated theory of the in-situ formation of the NiAl intermetallic compounds were studied and analyzed. The results showed that after the heat treatment, a ragged wave-like morphology was exhibited in the diffusion front of Al, and a small amount of the Ni in the diffusion region did not participate in the reaction.

It is found that, in deuterated water, although a one-to-one relation does not exist between the instantaneous frequency of an OD bond and the distance of its associated hydrogen bond, such a relation does hold on average. The dynamics of spectral diffusion is investigated by means of frequency-time correlation and spectral hole dynamics calculations. Both of these functions are found to have a short-time decay with a time scale of ~100 fs corresponding to dynamics of intact hydrogen bonds and a slower long-time decay with a time constant of ~2 ps corresponding to lifetimes of hydrogen bonds. The connection of the slower time scale to the dynamics of local structural relaxation is also discussed. The dynamics of hydrogen bond making is shown to have a rather fast time scale of ~100 fs; hence, it can also contribute to the short-time dynamics of spectral diffusion. A damped oscillation is also found at around 150-200 fs, which is shown to have come from underdamped intermolecular vibrations of a hydrogen-bonded water pair. Such assignments are confirmed by independent calculations of power spectra of intermolecular motion and hydrogen bond kinetics using the population correlation function formalism.

The capsules are prepared by layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolyte multilayers on silica particles, followed by dissolution of the silica core. In capsule dispersion, 1H PFG echo decays of phenol are single exponentials, implying fast exchange of phenol between a free site and a capsule-bound site. However, apparent diffusion coefficients extracted from the echo decays depend on the diffusion time, which is typically not the case for the fast exchange limit. We attribute this to a particular regime, where apparent diffusion coefficients are observed, which arise from the signal of free phenol only but are influenced by exchange with molecules bound to the capsule, which exhibit a very fast spin relaxation. Indeed, relaxation rates of phenol are strongly enhanced in the presence of capsules, indicating binding to the capsule wall rather than encapsulation in the interior. We present a quantitative analysis in terms of a combined diffusion-relaxation model, where exchange times can be determined from diffusion and spin relaxation experiments even in this particular regime, where the bound site acts as a relaxation sink. The result of the analysis yields exchange times between free phenol and phenol bound to the capsule wall, which are on the order of 30 ms and thus slower than the diffusion controlled limit. From bound and free fractions an adsorption isotherm of phenol to the capsule wall is extracted. The binding mechanism and the exchange mechanism are discussed.

Starting from the classical equations of motion, a generalized non-Markovian Langevin equation for the center of mass diffusive motion of an adsorbed molecule is derived. In this model, the influence of the background on the molecule is separated into an adiabatic force, and a rapidly fluctuating stochastic force with a corresponding frictional damping term. The model accounts for energy exchange between the center of mass motion and vibrational degrees of freedom of the molecule, and expressions for the friction coefficient in terms of vibrational properties of the molecule and substrate are derived. This stochastic model is first applied to a harmonically bound dimer diffusing in one dimension. This simple model system allows for a systematic test of how the diffusive motion of a molecule is affected by its vibrational degrees of freedom, and specifically how important memory effects are in determining the diffusion coefficient. It is found that coupling to molecular vibrations leads to increased frictional damping and slower diffusion, and that memory effects are typically not important for small molecules, but could be significant in large molecules. The model is then used to study the diffusion of dithioanthracene on a Cu(111) surface. Density functional theory is employed to calculate the adiabatic force and vibrational properties, allowing for a first principles determination of all required quantities in the stochastic model.

This makes the examination of domain-specific deficits in aging difficult, as differences between conditions in raw RTs (RT costs) typically increase with slower average RTs. Here, we examine the mapping between two established approaches to dealing with this confound in the literature. The first is to use transformed RT costs, with the z-score and proportional transforms both being commonly used. The second is to use mathematical models of choice RT behavior, such as the drift-diffusion model (Ratcliff, 1978). We simulated data for younger and older adults from the drift-diffusion model under four scenarios: A) a domain specific deficit, B) general slowing, C) strategic slowing, and D) a slowing of non-decision processes. In each scenario we varied the size of the difference between younger and older adults in the model parameters, and examined corresponding effect sizes and type 1 error rates in the raw and transformed RT costs. The z-score transformation provided better control of type 1 error rates than the raw or proportional costs, though did not fully control for differences in the general slowing and strategic slowing scenarios. We recommend that RT analyses are ideally supplemented by analyses of error rates where possible, as these may help to identify the presence of confounds. To facilitate this, it would be beneficial to include conditions that elicit below ceiling accuracy in tasks.

The reductive approach to chemical reactions is attractive to scientists, as it’s convenient when interpreting results and easier to work with. However, if a more simplistic experimental framework is adopted, these tests may overlook the critical aspect of intracellular crowding.
If there is less space available for each molecule, the resulting effective concentration is boosted, increasing the chemical potential. When more molecules are crammed together, there is also the possibility that reactants will link up, causing the chemical potential to respond drastically.
There is also a slowdown of molecular diffusion, particularly for larger molecules. Lower rates of diffusion imply that diffusion-limited reactions happen slower, especially those involving larger constituents. These two consequences, higher chemical potentials and lower diffusion rates, counteract each other when it comes to intermolecular reactions, making the resulting reaction rate difficult to predict. However, there usually is an optimal spot with enough coziness to encourage reactivity, but not too much to gum up the works.
The effects on thermodynamics and kinetics are so far ranging that estimates of reaction rates and equilibria made in uncrowded solutions differ by orders of magnitude from those of the same reactions operating under crowded conditions.

Understanding the SCC mechanism is a key issue for the extension of reactor lifetime. A SCC model based on a selective and asymmetrical oxidation of the grain boundary ahead of the crack tip has been proposed in previous studies. Adjacent to this oxide, a chromium-depleted area is observed exclusively in one of the two grains adjacent to the grain boundary. As oxygen transport is found to be faster than chromium diffusion in the alloy, the latter is assumed to be the rate-limiting step of crack propagation. Nevertheless, the mechanism responsible for chromium depletion is still under debate. Indeed, the lattice and the grain boundary diffusion coefficients of chromium in nickel-based alloys at 350°C are not high enough to explain the chromium depletion magnitudes measured in the literature. Accordingly, factors accelerating chromium diffusion in the alloy ahead of the SCC crack tip should exist. Thus, two assumptions have been proposed in this work: plasticity-enhanced chromium diffusion and diffusion-induced grain boundary migration (DIGM). The aim of this study is to confront these two assumptions by combining both experiments and modeling in order to explain chromium depleted areas observed at the SCC crack tip. Thus, diffusion tests under loading were performed in order to study the effect of plastic deformation on chromium diffusion. Plasticity-enhanced diffusion is evidenced.

We carry out a linear stability analysis on a homogeneous state using an activator-inhibitor reaction. We find that shear dispersion induced by the Poiseuille flow may lead to instabilities at slower flow rates. We find that contrary to the one-dimensional system, the instability depends on which substance is advected. We find a critical average flow speed for instability depending on tube size.

The combination of dielectric spectroscopy and quasi-elastic neutron scattering experiments allows us to characterize the water dynamics over a wide range of temperatures (dielectric spectroscopy) and at microscopic length scales (neutron scattering). The dielectric investigation evidences two relaxations associated with water motions: a fast process corresponding to motions of loosely bonded water molecules and a slower process corresponding to motions of amide-water complexes. While the slower process presents the characteristic Arrhenius temperature dependence of a secondary local relaxation over the whole temperature range, the fast process shows a crossover from Arrhenius to Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman (VFT) behavior at T approximate to 225 K, characteristic of confined water dynamics. The microscopic investigation by neutron scattering shows than in the VFT regime of the fast process the dynamics present a diffusive nature similar to bulk water. A large distribution of diffusion coefficients indicates possible differences in the connectivity of the hydrogen bond network. Diffusive heterogeneous dynamics can arise from a nonuniform distribution of water. The confinement effect of the polymer matrix is detected as a considerable reduction of the diffusion coefficient of water with respect to bulk. The presence of a crystalline phase results in a slowing down of both the fast and slow processes involving water motions. This could give a hint to the presence of a rigid amorphous phase in the semicrystalline material.

Besides, when the market is doing well, all bananas are yellow, but when the market is disappointing, those same bananas are suddenly too yellow. “It’s difficult to make everyone speak the same language within the sector,” Frits says.
To avoid the rising price of cardboard, the sector could decide to choose crates, something Frits researched with Willem Kokkeel some years ago. The benefit of crates is that they should save energy. Because air circulation is better, up to 30 per cent less energy is used during ripening. “That’s massive, but it’s not really getting through to people yet, because there are a few bottlenecks,” Frits says. Perhaps the smallest challenge: the crates are used as side tables in countries such as India, China and Indonesia, instead of being used

Every 1.5 millionths of a second, the Sun releases more energy than all humans consume in an entire year. Without the Sun there would be no light, no warmth, and no life.
Its heat influences the environments of all the planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and comets in our solar system.
How does a big ball of hydrogen create all that heat? The short answer is that it is big. If it were smaller, it would be just be a sphere of hydrogen, like Jupiter.
But the Sun is much bigger than Jupiter. It would take almost 1,000 Jupiters to fill it up!
That’s a lot of hydrogen. That means it’s held together by a whole lot of gravity. And THAT means there is a whole lot of pressure inside of it.
In fact, the pressure is so intense, and the density so great, that the hydrogen atoms collide with enough force that they literally meld into a new element—helium.
This process—called nuclear fusion—releases energy while creating a chain reaction that allows it to occur over and over and over again.
That energy builds up. It gets as hot as 27 million degrees Fahrenheit in the sun’s core. The energy travels outward through a large area called the convective zone. Then it travels onward to the photosphere, where it emits heat, charged particles, and light.

And as the name suggests, it’s a philosophy to travel the globe with nothing but carry-on luggage.
But why would anyone relinquish their airline-given rights to cart 20, 30, or even 40 kilograms of luggage through airport terminals and around the globe?
Some airlines have smaller/lighter restrictions, but if you don’t have checked baggage, they’re usually a little flexible. We traveled through Africa and the Middle East with carry-on bags of 10kg+ and didn’t have any issues when we said we had nothing to check in.
Okay, so why carry-on only?
You don’t have to wait for baggage handlers after a flight, which seems like a non-issue at home, but it’s akin to winning the lottery after a 14-hour flight. You simply grab your bag from the overhead locker, exit the plane, and walk straight out of the airport (also see ‘agility’ below).
You may think, ‘oh, airlines don’t lose luggage these days’. But they do, and it’s actually quite common on smaller airlines. We’ve heard estimates of a 1 in 7 chance of losing your luggage on certain smaller airlines. Of course, it’s close to impossible for them to lose your carry-on bag, which is especially important if you have irreplaceable items (E.g. mountaineering boots that you’ve spent 6 months wearing it).

Tankless water heaters avoid the standby heat losses associated with storage water heaters, which saves energy and money.
When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water travels through a pipe into the unit and a gas burner or an electric element heats the water. As a result, tankless water heaters deliver a constant supply of hot water. You don't need to wait for a storage tank to fill up with enough hot water. However, a tankless water heater's output limits flow rate.
For homes that use 41 gallons or less of hot water daily, on-demand water heaters can be 24%–34% more energy efficient than conventional storage tank water heaters. They can be 8%–14% more energy efficient for homes that use a lot of hot water—around 86 gallons per day. You can achieve even greater energy savings of 27%–50% if you install an on-demand water heater at each hot water outlet.
Tankless water heaters cost more than conventional storage water heaters. However, you may find that a tankless water heater may have lower operating and energy costs, which could offset its higher purchase price.
Proper installation and maintenance of your on-demand water heater can optimize its energy efficiency. Proper installation depends on many factors including fuel type, climate, local building code requirements, and safety issues, especially concerning the combustion of gas-fired water heaters. Therefore, it's best to have a qualified contractor like GreenHomes America install your on-demand water heater.

where 'n' is the index of refraction value of a material, 'c' is the speed of light in a vacuum, and 'v' is the speed of light in a material.
The net velocity of light in a material is decreased because of continual absorption and reemission of the light wave by atoms that it encounters. The light wave energy absorbed sets electrons in the atoms into vibrational motion. This energy is then reemitted as an electromagnetic wave with the same frequency of the original wave.
The index of refraction usually increases as the physical density of the material increases.
The optical density of a material relates to the sluggish tendency of the atoms of a material to maintain the absorbed energy of an electromagnetic wave in the form of vibrating electrons before reemitting it as a new electromagnetic wave.

Transformers are found everywhere Alternating Current (AC) electrical energy is used. A transformer is an electrical device that trades voltage for current in a circuit, while not affecting the total electrical power. This means it takes high-voltage electricity with a small current and changes it into low-voltage electricity with a large current, or vice versa. One thing to know about transformers is that they only work for Alternating Current (AC), such as you get from your wall plugs, not Direct Current (DC).
Transformers can be used either to increase the voltage also known as stepping up the voltage, or they can decrease the voltage also known as stepping down the voltage. Transformers use two coils of wire, each with hundreds or thousands of turns, wrapped around a metal core. One coil is for the incoming electricity and one is for the outgoing electricity. Alternating Current in the incoming coil sets up an alternating magnetic field in the core, which then generates Alternating Current in the outgoing coil.
Energy is lost in the process of transmitting electricity long distances, such as during the journey from a power plant to your home. Less energy is lost if the voltage is very high. Usually, electrical utilities use high voltage in long-distance transmission wires. However, this high voltage is too dangerous for home use. In the case of electrical utilities in homes, they use transformers to change the voltage of electricity as it travels from the power plant to your home.

In its simplest form, a generator would consist of a U-shaped magnet and a single loop of wire. If you rotate the loop of wire between the poles of the magnet, this induces (generates) the electricity in the loop.
Most generators have several magnets and coils (with lots of windings) and most produce an "alternating current"as the current travels in one direction for half of the turn and in the opposite direction for the other half.
Note: A generator does not create energy. It changes mechanical energy into electrical energy. Every generator must be driven by something that produces mechanical energy and uses fuel or another type of energy such as wind or flowing water.

That being said, the more you understand about how wave energy is transformed into epic surfing waves, the better you’ll be able to harness these incredibly powerful forces of nature. This guide discusses all things having to do with wave types.
Ground: Groundswell is generated by storms and very strong winds over a long distance in the open ocean — the bigger the storm the more punch the swell will be packing. This wave energy can reach as deep as 1,000 feet and travel for thousands of miles, ultimately producing stellar surfing waves.
Wind: This kind of swell is created by wind that is much more localized and closer to shore. As a result, this type of wave energy doesn’t run as deep and is generally not nearly as powerful as groundswell.
Concave: When a line of swell travels over a raised bottom contour that has deeper water around it, the farthest ends of the wave will bend toward the shore. From the side, the wave looks like a “bowl” with energy focused at a peak in the middle. This is known as “concave refraction” and can produce excellent surfing waves that can be ridden to the left or the right of the peak.

But there is some manufacturing tips and advice that every company in the sector should be making the most of. Below, you will find information on manufacturing advice your business definitely shouldn’t be without.
To start with, you should make sure that you keep on investing in the machinery you rely on, as well as the parts inside it. Without strong machinery to keep your business moving forward, there is no way to get the work done. You are 100% reliant on the machinery in your workplace when you run a business that operates in this sector, so don’t forget that.
If your machinery is getting old or past its best, you need to update and upgrade it. You should get the best Schaeffler bearings and replacement parts if things are moving more slowly than you’d like too.
Keeping your costs down is one of the most important things you can do when you work in this sector. If you allow costs to get out of your control, it won’t be long before your business starts to struggle. When you spend more, you have to make more in order to maintain a healthy level of profit.
In other words, failing to keep costs down just allows things to get out of your control, which is never a good thing. It’s easier said than done, though. And only you can take steps to ensure that your

But are salaries the most important factor in the decision of where to manufacture? Let’s find out by comparing manufacturing in China vs. Vietnam.
In the past 10 years, salaries of factory workers in China have doubled. When manufacturing processes depend on actual labor work, it is more likely production costs will be cut down in Vietnam, not in China. But keep in mind, there is a trend of wages rising across the whole of Southeast Asia.

The tree is grown in specific parts of the country especially around the western Mediterranean where Portugal is the world�s leading producer accounting for 50 percent.

It is durable and resistant to destructive effects like scratches that are very common where foot traffic is heavy. Harvesting is the first step when manufacturing a cork floor so you have to be sure to carry it with a lot of precision and competence. Once harvested, the slabs are never used immediately as they need to go through some detailed seasoning to make them stronger.

You youngsters won't believe this, but there was a time when Americans actually made physical things called "products" right here in America.
Workers would go to large, grimy buildings called "factories" where they would take a raw material such as iron ore and perform industrial acts on it, such as "forging" and "smelting." By the end of the day, as you can imagine, they smelt terrible (rim shot) but they had turned the ore into something useful, such as a locomotive, or a toaster, or (this was not a big seller) a toaster-locomotive.
The making of things was outsourced decades ago to foreign nations such as Asia.

It immediately conjures up images of hard-working Americans out of work because some “foreigner” is willing to do the same job for less. Not only is this a closet xenophopic reaction, but it is economically naive. Societies are best-served when their assets and resources are exerted toward high value objectives while outsourcing activities and services that can be done at a lower cost per output with trading partners. While this may sound like pie-in the-sky mumbo jumbo at first glance, there are entire careers and studies dedicated to this notion. The key economic descriptor at work here is the Law of Comparative Advantage.
Comparative advantage explains how trade can create value for both parties even when one can produce all goods with fewer resources than the other. The net benefits of such an outcome are called gains from trade. It is the main concept of the pure theory of international trade.
In essence, when you look at the net cost to the whole system (multiple countries, companies, households, whatever), it would be vastly higher to perform all the activities individually as opposed to trading with those who specialize in performing the service most efficiently.

While he says much of manufacturing has become more efficient and competitive, he says advanced manufacturing in areas such as green technology is critical to the country's economic future.
"Everybody has to come to grips with the fact that we're not going to make tennis shoes anymore. We're not going to make certain low-end manufacturing products," Ryan says.

Businesses can more easily integrate all steps of the manufacturing process including design, manufacturing, supply chain and operation. This facilitates greater flexibility and reactivity when participating in competitive markets. Enabling this vision requires a combination of related technologies such as IoT, AI/machine learning, and Edge Computing. In this article, we will introduce Edge Computing and discuss its role in enabling Smart Manufacturing.
Put simply, Edge Computing is about taking code that runs in the cloud and running it on local devices or close to it. Like in a gateway device or a PC sitting next to the device.

There are a lot of variables in manufacturing accounting that need to be considered. Whether you're in charge of the company or working in the accounting department, here are the thing to know about accounting for a manufacturing business.
At many companies, the accounting focuses on the sale of goods and services to customers. However, manufacturing is a little different, even though the goal is to produce goods to sell.
Manufacturers are building brand-new products. This means that the accounting department has to consider a variety of things.
This includes the cost of materials and equipment, as well as possible research, testing, and even design costs at some companies. Those costs have to get managed alongside the finished products' value. That way, no money gets lost in the production efforts.
Some of the things an accounting department at a manufacturing company has to think about are the same as at other companies. Others are unique to the industry. Here are the top tasks accountants have to balance in manufacturing.

But what is connected field service or field service automation and how does it differ from field service software?
What is Connected Field Service?
Connected field service is the idea of adding connected devices, powered by IoT (Internet of Things) and the Cloud to your existing field service operations. Field Service Automation software like Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Field Service provides the ability to send information directly to service providers about equipment condition and the potential need for repair. This idea of being connected, fundamentally unifies the service and manufacturing industry. With proactive maintenance a possibility, the need for customer, client, or failed equipment initiation has been discarded. Whereas, with previous field service processes, this element was central to the service relationship.
How does Connected Field Service differ from Field Service?
Field service organizations and manufacturing companies have conventionally followed the process of installation, check-up maintenance, and break-fix or repair appointments. Since there are no sensors and this process is reactive, the customer is forced to pick up the phone when something breaks to log the ticket. With Connected Field Service, these issues are mitigated, and you’ve moved to proactive service by having connected/IoT devices.

Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, India, and Indonesia are all perceived as the “new-China” due to significantly lower wages. But are salaries the most important factor in the decision of where to manufacture? Let’s find out by comparing manufacturing in China vs. Vietnam.
In the past 10 years, salaries of factory workers in China have doubled. When manufacturing processes depend on actual labor work, it is more likely production costs will be cut down in Vietnam, not in China. But keep in mind, there is a trend of wages rising across the whole of Southeast Asia.

The industry anticipates being able to only hire about one-third of these new workers needed, creating a huge employment gap which will likely increase labor costs.
If you want to close your employment gap and continue to grow your business you need to search everywhere for qualified manufacturing employees. Leaving no stone unturned and fully utilizing these resources will give you access to the workers you need.
There is no better resource available to you than your current workforce. Your employees know your company’s values, culture, how things work, and represent the best recruiting tool available to you. Create an enticing incentive program, designed to encourage your employees to recommend those they know who can contribute to the further success of the company. You’ll likely see an instant increase in applications and create a win-win for you and your employees. They’ll recommend those most likely to succeed at the company and you make your employees a partner in that success.
If you have not already done so, strike up a partnership with several of your area community colleges, trade, and technical schools. There are more than 1,100 of these institutions across the country, with an enrollment of 7.1 million as of Fall 2017.

4 "Ways to Improve Quality, Productivity & Process Time"
Industries across the globe rely on the efficiency of their manufacturing processes to create quality products that consumers can afford. The more expensive and inefficient your manufacturing process, the higher the cost of making your products. Whether it's broken machines, unmotivated employees, or just a dysfunctional system, you're going to end up with problems. The result is higher prices for your consumers and perhaps even fewer sales for your company. The solution is to improve the efficiency level of your manufacturing processes. Manufacturing efficiency is the level of performance within your company, and it's something that can always be improved upon.
Know your product, and make sure everybody in your company knows the product. Manufacturing efficiency starts with well-trained individuals throughout the entire company. When it comes to training, make sure it's hands-on. A booklet can only teach someone so much, but supervised on-the-job training can speed up the learning process.
Cut down on waste. Every unfinished product loses money, so don't accept that it's bound to happen without coming up with an explanation for why it happened. Mistakes are okay, but when they become frequent, you need a solution, whether it's new machinery or new employees.
Troubleshoot machines before they have a chance to break. Trust the employees that use these machines and know how they work. Nobody wants to have to call an outside source to come in to fix something. Instead, pay attention to the signs that something might be wrong. It's

To expedite the process, these companies rely on a highly structured clinical trial system to collect, analyze, and categorize data about a new drug as it progresses through development, testing, and trials in the field.
Yet like a massive pipeline that's equipped with a myriad of inbound and outbound valves and conduits, the clinical trial system depends on precise timing, monitoring, and coordination efforts as well as a cataloged flow of information and materials. If just one critical step in the clinical trials process goes awry and slows or stops the pipeline, the drug manufacturer could lose tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars in potential revenue and profit. The longer it takes for a new drug to go through clinical trials, the shorter the amount of time is available to enjoy protected sales on the market before its patent expires--an industry rule of thumb pegs the opportunity cost as high as $1 million per day in lost revenues.
To help keep the new-drug pipeline flowing freely and improve time-to-market and profitability, pharmaceutical manufacturers often rely on various technologies to help connect clinical trial management with manufacturing.

Sadhguru reminds us that far beyond merely bending the body, the science of yoga provides the ultimate tool for enhancing human capabilities and functioning at the highest peak of body and mind.
Q: Sadhguru, I have heard you say that yoga is the Ultimate Expression. What is that?
Sadhguru: When we say “yoga,” for most people it probably means twisting the body into impossible postures. That’s not what yoga is about. Among the Yoga Sutras, which form the bedrock of today’s yoga, only one sutra is dedicated to asanas. All Patanjali said was “Sthiram sukham asanam” – a posture which is comfortable and firm, that is your asana. Asanas are a very preparatory step, but unfortunately they are being propagated as the whole of yoga. Yoga means to be in perfect tune. Your body, mind and spirit and the existence are in absolute harmony. When you fine-tune yourself to a point where everything functions so beautifully within you, the best of your abilities will naturally flow out of you.

Houses and other dwellings account for nearly a third of all the energy used in the United Kingdom (in the U.S. it’s a bit lower). That takes a toll on the climate and on people’s wallets. What’s worse is that much of that energy is wasted because residents don’t see an immediate connection between the thermostat, for example, and the utility bill.
In the multi-year IDEAL project, launching in 2013, Goddard and his colleagues will outfit hundreds of British homes with relatively inexpensive sensors that monitor temperature, humidity, and light levels, as well as gas and electricity use, and wirelessly report their readings every minute. Using machine learning techniques, Goddard and his team will be able to analyze that noisy data to infer what people are actually doing–cooking or taking a shower, for example.
Then they’ll use another cutting-edge technology–natural language synthesis–to generate automatic text messages that give people feedback about their energy use. A text message might read, “Last week you spent £10 on hot water for showers, if you reduced your average shower time from 15 minutes to 12 minutes you could save £100 per year.” Over time, they can tweak the kinds of messages they send to make them as effective as possible.

Your metabolism is primarily based on the amount of Fat Free Mass (FFM) you have. This only differs slightly from Lean Body Mass (LBM) in that LBM also includes some essential fat that is mostly around and in your organs.

The majority of your metabolism revolves around simply staying alive. Your organs use up anywhere from 60-75% of the daily energy you consume. Men generally have bigger organs than women which accounts for their slightly higher metabolic rate. That and the fact that men generally carry more muscle mass than woman.

In other words, the holodeck recreation functioned just as the real thing would in the real universe. Essentially the converter was just a complex series of mirrors and reflective coils, but they were "real" enough for the physics to work.

The national divorce rate is currently around 40%. Yes, that statistic includes celebrities.

Many basic table manners have to do with this self-control. We don’t just grab the food with our hands and shove it into our mouths.

With a few exceptions, humans are the only species that drink liquids with their food. Raccoons, for example, are noted for "washing" their food first, but this is because they lack salivary glands that would provide the moisture to help the digestive process. It's hard, if not impossible, to swallow, say, dry crackers without something to wash them down. With people, the saliva wets the crackers and helps us get them down. Or, we take a drink of something.
Raccoons don't eat crackers, of course, but they must find external moisture to enable them to "wash" their food down. It has nothing to do with being sanitary, as some have thought.
While there are other exceptions, it is a primarily human thing to do - to take a sip of some beverage during a meal, then perhaps wash everything down afterward. Many people also imbibe significant quantities of liquid before and after a meal, often in the form of coffee, or perhaps a cocktail. A proper table is set with plates, silverware, and cups and/or glasses for the beverages. Everything in one place.
These are cultural habits. And as we all should know, cats have no culture.

I suppose each remedy has it's own merit but my personal view is this: if the F&B outlet is so bent on getting better reviews, then this situation is exactly the PR angle that they should exploit on.

But we all have that person in our lives that is just impossible to buy for. Every year you spend hours trudging round the shops, trying to find anything that you think they might enjoy, and it seems like it just doesn’t exist. They often end up with a pile of presents that you know they will hate, but you couldn’t just not get them anything. If you want to avoid the awkwardness of giving somebody a rubbish present, here are a few unique present ideas for people that are difficult to buy for.
When you’re trying to shop for difficult people, it is often a good idea to go for something practical. That way, you know that they will actually use it instead of throwing it in the back of a cupboard, never to be seen again. A personalized docking station is a great idea. They can charge their phone on it, and it gives them a place to store their keys and wallet. This one is especially good for a forgetful friend or family member. You can have it engraved with their initials to give it a special touch.
One of the main reasons that people can be hard to buy presents for, is that they don’t like having a lot of unnecessary clutter around the house. They don’t want anything that will take up space in the house, unless

A balancing act with magnetic coins from Patagonia, by MagneticCoins.
The practice of balancing and spinning magnetic coins has been around since at least the early 1990's, but the most beautiful demo I've seen is in the video above from 2013.
To begin, you'll need to find some magnetic coins containing iron or nickel. Sadly, U.S. coins are not magnetic, except for the 1943 penny, which was made of steel. Even the U.S. nickel, which is currently made of a 75/25 blend of copper and nickel,1 is not measurably magnetic. A partial list of coins that ARE magnetic has been compiled by the helpful folks at http://www.magneticcoins.info/. In the absence of magnetic coins, steel washers may be substituted, but the edges are not usually as flat as on coins and they tend not to balance as well.
To prepare the stage, lay a ruler across two stacks of books, or two bottles as in the video. Put a strong magnet on top of the center of the ruler, with the poles aligned vertically: north pole up and south pole down, or vice versa. You may also stick another magnet under the ruler if you need more field strength. To get the right field strength for your coin stack, you will want to be able to adjust the height of the magnet, or alternatively adjust the height of the platform that

Furthermore, it appears worthwhile and instructive to try to recreate Walter Thurner's cryogenic magnet motor and develop a system that limits and controls its speed of rotation.

An example of an embodiment of Walter Thurner`s idea is sketched above in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. His concept implies a linear or especially a circular array of magnets. One of such a magnet (1) is sketched in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Another magnet (3) is attached to a rod (4) which is connected with a shaft (5) so that the magnet (3) can move above (1). The sketched arrangement of the magnets (1) and (3) results in a motion of (3) towards the edge of (1). A repulsion arises between (3) and (1) when (3) approaches the edge of (1) and an attraction occurs when (3) goes away from (1).

What are the strongest magnets made of?
The strongest available permanent magnets (i.e., magnets that retain their magnetic properties in the absence of an electrical current or some other magnetic field) consist of compounds of neodymium, a rare earth metal with atomic number of 60 and symbol of Nd. Neodymium magnets are actually made of an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron. Alloys of different elements make stronger, longer-lasting magnets because pure magnetic materials usually demagnetize quickly. Neodymium magnets are often coated with nickel, which is less likely to chip or corrode.
Neodymium magnets are available in different grades, from N35 up to N52. The higher the value, the stronger the magnet. The strongest neodymium grade available is Grade N52. If there are letters after the grade number they refer to the heat tolerance of a magnet. For more information about grades you can see this article on Magnet Grades.
Many strong magnets are so powerful that they are difficult to hold apart with your fingers and can be extremely difficult to separate once they become stuck to each other. To make magnets easier to separate, place a non-magnetic spacing material between them, e.g. a piece of plastic, wood or cardboard.

The above image is what Greg sent me. There are basically three areas to measure in each magnet... #1 is the leading position, #2 is the center position, and #3 is the trailing position. The center position will have a matched reading with the other magnet. Now take each magnet separately and take a reading on the leading and trailing positions and record these readings. Turn the magnet over (up side down) and and repeat the process and record the leading and trailing readings. In the diagram below the stars indicate where to measure each magnet.
Repeat this process for each magnet and match the best you can. What you are ultimately after is a strong leading reading #1 a #2 reading that matches the other magnet and a #3 trailing reading that is weak.
Now Greg didn't stop there... there's more!! If you recall in reading the above paragraphs you were told to flip

This month, K&J answers these practical and silly questions alike.
What magnets can hold a wreath?
For hanging a wreath on a steel door, we like the WPH-SM or WPH-LG magnets best. These hooks are made with neodymium magnets inside a water resistant, plastic housing. They are specifically designed for holding a weight on a vertical surface like a steel door. Their rubbery contact surface provides enough friction to help prevent sliding down the door.
We show both of these in the short video clip below. We found that the smaller WPH-SM magnet was just barely enough to hold a good-sized, 4 lb wreath. In a protected space behind a storm door, this might be enough.
The extra strength of the larger WPH-LG felt more secure. If it’s windy, consider this size.
Thanks to the folks at Wreaths of Maine for donating the beautiful wreath for our mad, magnetic demonstrations. No magnets or wreaths were harmed during our testing. Plus, now our offices smell wonderful!
What if I want to hide the hook behind the wreath?
Using the same WPH-LG magnet, we show a way to keep the hook behind the wreath. The hook is more hidden this way. We removed the hook and attached the wreath in its place. It’s a nice, secure solution.
We also tried hanging the same wreath using our HOOK-BLK

The light we see, which is called visible light, is actually made up of different wavelengths of light. When mixed together, the wavelengths look white, but if separated, each appears as a different color to our eyes. The longest wavelengths look red to us, and the shortest, blue or violet.
Usually, light travels in a straight line and all of its wavelength colors are mixed together, making it appear nearly white. But whenever something intercepts light's path, the colors are scattered out of the beam, changing the final colors you see. That "something" could be dust, a raindrop, or even the invisible molecules of gas that make up the atmosphere's air.
As sunlight enters our atmosphere from space, it encounters the various tiny gas molecules and particles that make up the atmosphere's air. It hits them, and is scattered in all directions (Rayleigh scattering). While all of the light's color wavelengths are scattered, the shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more strongly -- roughly 4 times more strongly -- than the longer red, orange, yellow, and green wavelengths of light. Because blue scatters more intensely, our eyes are basically bombarded by blue.
If shorter wavelengths are scattered more strongly, why then isn't the sky appear as violet or indigo (the color with the shortest visible wavelength)? Well, some of the violet light is absorbed high up in

Any object with internal energy (a temperature above absolute zero, or 0 K) radiates that energy in the form of electromagnetic waves (light). The theoretical distribution of wavelengths in that radiation represents 'black body' radiation, and is described mathematically by an equation called Planck's Law. Plotting intensity vs. wavelength, the resulting curve peaks at a wavelength that depends on temperature--the higher the temperature, the shorter its peak wavelength will be. That consequence of Planck's equation is also known as Wien's Law. Also, intensities increase across all wavelengths as temperature increases.
You can see this behavior as an iron rod is heated from room temperature. At first, all of the radiation is in the infrared region, which has a wavelength too long for humans to see. As the rod's temperature increases, it glows red as emitted wavelengths decrease into the visible range. Next, you see orange, then yellow, then white as peak intensity moves to shorter and shorter wavelengths. By analyzing the spectrum of wavelengths, temperature can be calculated. Temperatures of astronomical objects can be determined with this technique. Extreme temperatures near a black hole, for example, peak in the region of very short X-Rays. Stars like our Sun emit primarily in the visible region, and cooler objects like planets emit invisible infrared radiation.

By tweaking the widths in the three-waveguide array and the gaps between the waveguides, researchers made the array appear as a single, wider waveguide to certain (longer) wavelengths. Adjusting the metrics of the waveguides created a cutoff point, measured in nanometers, at which a wavelength of light would “see” the three-waveguide array as a single waveguide.

The optical properties of filters are completely described by their frequency response, which specifies how the magnitude and phase of each frequency component of an incoming signal is modified by the filter.
Filters mostly belong to one of two categories. The simplest, physically, is the absorptive filter; then there are interference or dichroic filters.
Optical filters selectively transmit light in a particular range of wavelengths, that is, colours, while absorbing the remainder. They can usually pass long wavelengths only (longpass), short wavelengths only (shortpass), or a band of wavelengths, blocking both longer and shorter wavelengths (bandpass). The passband may be narrower or wider; the transition or cutoff between maximal and minimal transmission can be sharp or gradual. There are filters with more complex transmission characteristic, for example with two peaks rather than a single band; these are more usually older designs traditionally used for photography; filters with more regular characteristics are used for scientific and technical work.
Optical filters are commonly used in photography (where some special effect filters are occasionally used as well as absorptive filters), in many optical instruments, and to colour stage lighting.

This interactive tutorial demonstrates how the Noise Terminator technology functions.
The tutorial initializes a traditional fluorescence filter optical block (from an inverted microscope) containing an excitation and barrier filter, as well as a dichromatic mirror, appearing in the window. Photons (yellow spheres) from the light source enter the filter block from the right-hand side of the window and pass through the excitation filter, which is a bandpass filter allowing primarily wavelengths between 510 and 560 nanometers (green light) to pass through. The light leaving the excitation filter (green spheres) is deflected at a 90-degree angle by the dichromatic mirror and up to the objective and specimen.

Actually, it is not interstellar dust that is responsible for the color of the sky during the day and the Sun in morning and evening. It is the scattering within the Earth's atmosphere that is responsible.
Visible light is the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths from 0.00000035 meters (violet light) to 0.00000075 meters (red light). Light usually travels in a straight line path, but it can be scattered by particles such as the nitrogen molecules in the Earth's atmosphere. This means that portions of the light energy are sent off into different directions. These directions are determined by the size of the wavelength of the light and the size of the particles doing the scattering. For the Earth's atmosphere, the effect is strongest in the shortest wavelengths; the effect is very small at longer wavelengths. The scattering is dominant for the wavelength that we see as blue, and this is why the sky appears blue.
When the Sun is close to the horizon, such as at Sunrise and Sunset, the light must pass through a much longer path in the atmosphere; more of the blue light is scattered out of this direction, leaving only the red light. This is why the Sun appears red at Sunrise and Sunset.

Efforts to extend this technology to longer wavelengths are meeting with some success, but the trend remains that longer wavelengths correlate with greatly reduced power. The carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is capable of delivering high energy, 10 micron wavelength pulses, but the gain structure makes operating in the ultra-short pulse regime difficult. The Naval Research Laboratory and Air Force Research Laboratory are developing a novel CO2 laser designed to deliver ~1 Joule, ~1 picosecond pulses, from a compact gain volume (~2x2x80 cm). The design is based on injection seeding an unstable resonator, in order to achieve high energy extraction efficiency, and to take advantage of power broadening. The unstable resonator is seeded by a solid state front end, pumped by a custom built titanium sapphire laser matched to the CO2 laser bandwidth. In order to access a broader range of mid infrared wavelengths using CO2 lasers, one must consider nonlinear frequency multiplication, which is non-trivial due to the bandwidth of the 10 micron radiation.

Waves in the electromagnetic spectrum vary in size from very long radio waves the size of buildings, to very short gamma-rays smaller than the size of the nucleus of an atom.
Electromagnetic waves can not only be described by their wavelength, but also by their energy and frequency. This means that it is correct to talk about the energy of an X-ray or the wavelength of a microwave or the frequency of a radio wave.
Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves can be longer than a football field or as short as a football. Radio waves do more than just bring music to your radio. They also carry signals for your television and cellular phones.
Infrared light lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared light has a range of wavelengths, just like visible light has wavelengths that range from red light to violet.

The intent of this is to give you a start on things to think about; a brief look into what is the truth behind all of the hubbub. Like I say to my nervous clients, “Relax, the anticipation is far worse than the actual treatment…” Are you ready?
First question – “How does it work?” Regardless of laser or IPL, we are using light energy to destroy a hair bulb by a process called photothermolysis. Let’s break that down from its latin form. Photo meaning light, therm meaning heat and lysis meaning to destroy. Simply put, we are using light and heat, to destroy the follicle. The goal is to use the right amount of light energy to heat and destroy a hair follicle. The light energy is absorbed and transformed into heat energy by an object referred to as a chromophore. A chromophore is a light absorbing target. In the case of hair reduction, our chromophore is the pigment in the hair follicle. Did you ever walk barefoot onto your driveway or the beach on a sunny day and just about burn the heck out of your feet? That’s because the pigment in the asphalt or the sand had absorbed all of that light energy. Energy is a constant – it changes forms, but never really goes away.

During photolysis, N2O undergoes a transition from the electronic ground state to the continuum level B(1A). The larger mass of the isotopically substituted species lowers their ground-state energies, which shifts their absorption spectra to shorter wavelengths (Fig. 14.7). Since most photolysis occurs at wavelengths on the red side of the absorption peak, cross sections for 446 will be larger than for the heavy species and 446 will be photolysed preferentially, leaving the remaining pool enriched in the heavy species. As discussed earlier, the fractionation constant is the ratio of the heavy to light cross sections. The ratio, or fractionation constant, decreases with increasing wavelengths up to the absorp tion peak, where the model predicts that a crossover in the absorption spectra occurs, and the heavy cross sections become larger than the light ones, and the heavy species become depleted.
The model predicts the correct relational order between the heavy N2O fractionation constants, but its quantitative estimates of the constants are about a factor of 2 smaller than laboratory-based results (Rahn et al., 1998; Umemoto, 1999; Rockmann et al., 2000; Turatti et al., 2000; Zhang et al., 2000; Rockmann et al., 2001a). Improvements to the ZPE model using more sophisticated quantum mechanical calculations (Johnson et al., 2001; Blake et al., 2003; Liang et al., 2004) produce quantitative results in good agreement with experiments (Kaiser et al., 2003); though the best matches to the experimental fractionation constants are found

These two frames were captured with the only equipment I have currently, that is able to record IR wavelengths, but it’s not ideal for the job as such. They were captured using a UG-11 conversion.
UG-11 blocks visible light from reaching the image sensor, allowing over 99% UV light transmission from around 235-410nm however, much less IR transmission from around 650-1250nm peaking at around only 30% transmission at close to 715nm. This makes UG-11 ideal for UV photography (think: flowers or forensic applications) but less ideal for IR shooting. Though there is no need for an IR filter to be mounted on to the front of the lens (because visible light is already being blocked) a simple UV filter is adequate in order to allow only IR wavelengths to pass. However, because the peak light-transmittance of IR wavelengths is only around 30% of a dedicated IR conversion, it does mean that unless one is happy to record their images at higher ISOs in order to shoot handheld, a tripod will still be required. (Shooting this configuration with a tripod at base ISO would render some fabulous cloud or water movement due to longer Tv necessities for accurate exposures, I would imagine.)

The walls absorb longer wavelengths of light while allowing shorter wavelengths to reach a membrane below the scales. Using the images of the scales, the researchers created computer models to confirm this filtering effect. The nano-hole arrays change from wave guides for short wavelengths to barriers and absorbers for longer wavelengths, which act just like a high-pass filtering layer.
So, what does this have to do with fuel cells? Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen takes energy, and is a drain on the amount you can get out of a cell. To split the water, the process uses a catalyst, and certain catalysts — say, titanium dioxide — function by exposure to light. The researchers synthesized a titanium dioxide catalyst using the pattern from the butterfly's wings, and paired it with platinum nanoparticles to make it more efficient at splitting water. The result? A 230% uptick in the amount of hydrogen produced. The structure of the butterfly's wing means that it's better at absorbing light — so who knows, you might also see the same technique on solar panels, too.

The aim of this work was to employ an optical technique to measure straylight at different wavelengths and to identify the optimal conditions for visually relevant optical measurements of straylight.
METHODS. The instrument, based on the double-pass (DP) principle, used a series of uniform disks that were projected onto the retina, allowing the recording of the wide-angle point spread function (PSF) from its peak and up to 7.38 of visual angle. A liquid crystal wavelength tunable filter was used to select six different wavelengths ranging from 500 to 650 nm. The measurements were performed in nine healthy Caucasian subjects. The straylight parameter was analyzed for small (0.58) and large (68) angles.
RESULTS. For small angles, the wavelength dependence of straylight matches the transmittance spectrum of hemoglobin, which suggests that diffuse light from the fundus contributes significantly to the total straylight for wavelengths longer than 600 nm. Eyes with lighter pigmentation exhibited higher straylight at all wavelengths. For larger angles, straylight was less dependent on wavelength and eye pigmentation.
CONCLUSIONS. Small-angle straylight in the eye is affected by the wavelength-dependent properties of the fundus. At those small angles, measurements using wavelengths near the peak of the spectral sensitivity of the eye might be better correlated with the visual aspects of straylight. However, the impact of fundus reflectance on the values of the straylight parameter at larger angles did not depend on the measuring wavelength.

Global cooling was a conjecture during the 1970s of imminent cooling of the Earth's surface and atmosphere culminating in a period of extensive glaciation.
Shocked scientists told reporters that the Earth is cooling at a dramatic and alarming rate. Global warming has been the subject of so many discussions in recent years, but scientists now say that the world is not warming, but instead is becoming cooler – by the day!
Solar activity can affect Earth's climate, but the idea that the current global warming trend is fueled by the sun is "nuts," one researcher says.
Empirical measurements of the Earth's heat content show the planet is still accumulating heat and global warming is still happening. Surface temperatures can show short-term cooling when heat is exchanged between the atmosphere and the ocean, which has a much greater heat capacity than the air.
The argument that "Earth hasn't warmed as much as expected" generally relies on ignoring the factors which have a cooling effect on the Earth's temperatures, and the planet's thermal inertia, which delays the full amount of global warming.

Beautiful and eerie, this colouration is caused by a total lunar eclipse. Unlike solar eclipses, which are rare and only visible from specific places on Earth, lunar eclipses occur at least twice a year. They’re visible to almost any part of the world, as long as it’s night when the eclipse is happening.
What made this particular lunar eclipse so special was that this occurred during a supermoon—when the moon is at its closest point to Earth during its orbit, and looks bigger than normal. This was the first time in over 30 years that a supermoon and a lunar eclipse coincided.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned with Earth in the middle. As the moon creeps into the Earth’s shadow, it gradually disappears from the view of people on Earth. Once the moon enters the umbra—the central part of Earth’s shadow where all direct sunlight is blocked—a total lunar eclipse occurs. At this point, the sunlight that passes through the periphery of Earth’s atmosphere is scattered, giving the moon a red hue.

The dwellings they left behind near the inner-city were generally taken over by working class populations who were looking to better their housing situations. With time, middle-class populations also followed their predecessors to the suburbs, leaving behind the working poor, racial minorities and new immigrants. Starting in the 1970s, a back-to-the-city movement called gentrification occurred. Gentrification is characterized by the restoration of old run down inner city homes for the well-to-do. This started a new wave of investment near the city cores. This latest phase of urban development has led to the displacement of low-income earners from their traditional places of residence. Drawing from the vast bank of urban geography literature, this research explores the impact of gentrification on the growing homelessness problems within North American cities.

I was on a ride for about 1.5 hour and was at medium to low speed with 4 people on the cart. At the end of the ride the motor started to make a high pitch whining sound when I was on the accelerator. Once I got home I noticed the speed controller was warm and so was the motor.
After I inspected the cart, I took it for another ride and the sound did not return.

A conveyor system is used to get a item for one place to another, this item can be large, small, irregular shape, light or heavy. Not only can conveyors move items from one point to another it can be used in an assembly line so as the product is going through the conveyor it is being made or assembled. Conveyors can move items up an incline or vertically with another conveyor sandwiches the item in place. These are versatile tools for production in the industry world if the right one is implemented for a job.
Some companies in the industry will require a belt conveyor system to meet a certain standard. These standards insure the safety of the conveyor but also effectiveness of it.
Standards will include handling and storage of belts, strengths of belts, and dimension restrictions of each part in the system.

After all, customers are revenue, revenue is capital, and capital is the lifeblood of every business — online or offline.
Customers are no longer exclusively evaluating their experience by what happens on the front-end of the transaction; e.g. learning about products and services, building relationships with businesses, and making a secure and easy online purchase. Customers are just as interested in what happens after the transaction and, specifically, on ecommerce fulfillment.
These days, customers are much more interested in – and influenced by – convenience rather than speed. For example, they want to know that costly items will not be left on a porch, and that items will be either delivered when they are home, or sent to a nearby (and of course, secure) collection point. This does not mean that speed is optional; obviously that is not the case. But speed without convenience is not a formula for providing exceptional customer experience.
In the past, shipping information typically began and ended with a generic email saying “your order has shipped.” However, today’s ecommerce customers have much higher expectations, and want to be in the loop about when their order is being prepared, when it ships, and how quickly it is heading towards them. Notably, many customers will tolerate a delay and will not punish an online business if they know about it in advance.

Usually, when somebody tells you to "take a flying leap," they don't really expect you to fly. But you can if you know what you're doing and have a hang glider strapped on. Hang gliders work on the same principle as any winged aircraft. As the wings move forward, air is deflected above and below. The air traveling over the curved wing must travel farther--and faster--than the air below. When air speeds up, it drops in pressure, creating a low-pressure zone above the wing. This in turn gives the air traveling below greater relative pressure and the strength to push up the wing. To become airborne, a hang glider's airspeedmust equal about 20 mph. Airspeed is a combination of the pilot's running speed and the speed of the wind coming toward the pilot. Many different combinations are possible. If a pilot is running at 20 mph, no wind is necessary. (But this is unlikely, since the world's

We watched one pop in less than a second, while the addition of water kept a similar balloon from popping for over 20 seconds! Who remembers why one balloon popped and the other didn’t?
My favorite parts of Energy Matters are the two experiments where the students can really SEE how heat is changing the energy of two different chemical reactions. First, we tested some glow sticks. The best part about glow sticks, of course, is that they glow! They glow because the chemicals inside the tube react in an exothermic chemical reaction, which means a chemical reaction the produces energy, in this case mostly light energy!

When dressing for cold or wet weather fishing; dress from the inside out. The layer of clothing next to your skin is the one you will feel all day!
Your inner layer should be made from synthetic material for maximum comfort. It should be soft and designed to wick moisture away from your skin. Never wear cotton clothing under your waders!

The phenomenon has an easy explanation: the Airbus is making a very slow low pass, taking advantage of the very strong head wind combined with the minimun air speed and a high angle of attack to achieve lift for its flaps configuration (which is hard to see from the ground).
This produces extremely low ground speed, which results from the A330's air speed minus the speed of the head wind. The combination of this ground speed and the A330's size give the viewer the sensation of a plane almost frozen in midair.

Motion means kinetic energy, which can be captured, just like the energy in moving water can be captured by the turbine in a hydroelectric dam. In the case of a wind-electric turbine, the turbine blades are designed to capture the kinetic energy in wind. The rest is nearly identical to a hydroelectric setup.
When the turbine blades capture wind energy and start moving, they spin a shaft that leads from the hub of the rotor to a generator. The generator turns that rotational energy into electricity. At its essence, generating electricity from the wind is all about transferring energy from one medium to another.
Wind power all starts with the sun. When the sun heats up a certain area of land, the air around that land mass absorbs some of that heat. At a certain temperature, that hotter air begins to rise very quickly because a given volume of hot air is lighter than an equal volume of cooler air. Faster-moving (hotter) air particles exert more pressure than slower-moving particles, so it takes fewer of them to maintain the normal air pressure at a given elevation. When that lighter hot air suddenly rises, cooler air flows quickly in to fill the gap the hot air leaves behind. That air rushing in to fill the gap is wind.

The finding offers new insights into animal locomotion and points to potential ways to harness energy from natural resources, such as rivers or wind.
"Air or water flows naturally generated during flight or swimming can prevent collisions and separations, allowing even individuals with different flapping motions to travel together," explains Joel Newbolt, a doctoral candidate in New York University's Department of Physics and the lead author of the research, which appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "Notably, this phenomenon allows slower followers to keep up with faster-flapping leaders by surfing on their wake."
"While we currently use wind and water to help meet our energy needs, our work offers new ways to more efficiently leverage them as we seek new methods for enhancing sustainable practices," observes Leif Ristroph, one of the paper's co-authors and an assistant professor in NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

How windy is your site?
We require a minimum wind speed in order to make the site viable for a wind turbine.
How close is the required grid connection?
A local connection to the national grid is important as the cost of a long connection run can be prohibitive.
How close are your nearest neighbours?
Due to noise we like to site turbines away from habitations.
Does the site have any planning limitations?
If your site is within a restricted area such as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) or SSSI designated; then planning is unlikely to go ahead.
Can turbine & equipment be brought to site?
A wind turbine is a large piece of equipment, so access for the cranes, wide turning circles for the blades and traffic planning need consideration.
A signed Option Agreement allows us to then run through the full planning process and if successful move onto construction.
Once complete, we submit the planning application for appraisal from the local authority. If granted we can move onto construction.

Factors like water temperature and wind seem increasingly important during spring. Often, the most important piece of equipment is a temperature gauge as activity often revolves around water temperature. A temperature gauge also enables an angler to gauge the influence of wind. Water temperature is relative in the sense that there is no magic water temperature to find. Rather an observation of where warmer pools of water are located within a system.
Some locations just heat up better during the spring and this difference in temperature often seems to hold and attract fish. Many of the most productive spots we find are bays within bays within bays… small protected coves that are shallow and protected from the fluctuations of the main basins. These protected pockets will tend to warm up regardless of wind direction. Dark bottoms tend to warm up even more and some of these protected spots might only be five or six feet deep but these shallow spots can and will hold a lot of walleyes.
A general rule of thumb is that the fishing typically gets better in these locations during stable weather. As long as the water temperature continues to rise, these spots get more consistent to a point. Also early in the year, afternoons and early evenings are sometimes better as

Most likely this is the setup of the board and the foil don’t match too well. The Foil is ‘back footed’ whereas you have the board setup with your weight further forwards. Move the mast foot back and if possible the footstraps back. This will get weight more over the foil and help sustain lift. If you feel like your back leg is burning to keep it up, you almost definitely need to move things back.
This has been a really common call, email. Most people have successfully had their first flights but are now struggling to sustain flight and feel a little up and down. This has come down to a couple of things. Lets first look at setup.
Once you’re past your first flight, you are trying to encourage yourself to be more upright on the board. A higher boom will really help this.

I love hiking and try to take two trips a year to the Carpathian mountain range. For me it is a time of meditation when I can ponder the deep issues of life. I climb with my back pack five to six hours a day. The physical challenges help me to focus on serious inner dialogue. This is my idea of an ideal vacation.
This trip was very special for me and my friends who accompanied me. We decided to cross the mountain range in three days. We had done it in the past and we considered ourselves experienced hikers.
The first day was hard as usual but was rewarded with a nice location to overnight. When we got up in the morning the weather had changed. It had started to snow. But that didn’t scare us. On the place of our second overnight location, we met a group of hikers from Poland who told us that they had encountered a big storm on their way down the mountain. That didn’t scare us either. We had only eight kilometers to cover and an additional attitude of 600 meters.
When we started in the morning, we soon realized that the weather had dramatically changed. The snow in some places was so deep that we sank into the snow up to our hips.

Dune is a wind-blown sandy landform widely distributed in desert areas on the earth, and it is a wind-blown landform formed by wind erosion, transportation and accumulation of sandy land. A large number of dunes of different shapes have also been found on Mars and Titan.
< p> dome dune is a kind of dune with special shape. They are round in shape, and their plane shapes are similar to circles or ellipses. They are like steamed buns of large and small, lack of fallen sand slopes and irregular spatial distribution of individuals. Such dunes are common on Mars and Titan.
< p> dome dunes occur in the environment of relatively less abundant sand sources and complex wind conditions. Affected by the complexity of wind conditions, dome dunes can evolve from crescent dunes (dunes similar to crescents in shape) (Fig. 2).
Figure 2: Dune morphological characteristics under different wind conditions in numerical simulation. A. Solitary crescent-shaped and dome-shaped dunes. B. Crescent-shaped and dome-shaped dunes developed on non-erodible beds. C. The complexity of wind conditions is expressed by standard deviation of sediment transport rate. From the picture above, we can see that the dome dunes evolved from the crescent dunes. When the more complicated wind blows in all directions, the crescent moon is gradually "filled up" and piled higher and higher, and becomes a steamed dome dune. The direction and intensity of wind will affect the formation process of these steamed buns. In addition, compared with

A stiff breeze can be tough, but active fish often concentrate on the windy side of a lake or reservoir where the food chain goes wild and walleyes can use their keen sight and lateral lines to their advantage. The wind breaks up light penetration as well.
We’ve all seen it. Wind blows, hammer fish, wind stops, and so does the bite. The key is to learn boat control techniques that make the wind your friend.
A strong wind makes controlling boat speed difficult. Walleyes can be selective and finicky. Like all predators, they’d rather their food come to them, as they instinctively reserve energy for growing and reproducing. They tend to avoid chasing lures or bait. As a result, more walleyes are typically caught when the boat is moving slower than 1.5 mph.
Sometimes, wind moves a boat faster than you want it to go. It’s a good thing there are tools you can use to slow down!
In a slight breeze, turn the bow of the boat into the wind in order to work the contours of structures. When buying a boat, equip it with the most-powerful trolling motor and the longest shaft you can afford. MinnKota’s Terrova trolling motor is a great aid for most walleye anglers. The I-pilot feature allows you to set the direction

With just over 3,000 nautical miles still to go, PUMA managed to pull out a lead of slightly over 13 nm by the 0700 UTC position report this morning, but the margin between second and third remained miniscule, with overall race leaders Telefónica edging past CAMPER to establish an advantage of just one and a half nautical miles.
At 1300 UTC PUMA had a 9.28 nm lead, and CAMPER had returned to second place, half a nautical mile ahead of Telefónica in third.
Ian Walker’s Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing were in fourth, 46 nm off the lead, but still capable of pouncing on any mistakes by the leading trio. Back in fifth, Franck Cammas’ Groupama sailing team are struggling to make major inroads into their 116 nm deficit.
This morning the leading three boats made a synchronised move towards Brazil, gybing to the west to pick up an advantageous current and hook into a wind bend around the coast.

Top end is lightning fast; she cruises at an easy 40 knots and burns 1.1 mpg, which is what I used to burn on my other boat with a slower cruise and a smaller boat. There is a tremendous increase in cockpit space and the overall length of the boat is much bigger. It has a bigger console, bigger T-Top and just plain old feels a lot bigger. SeaVee did a great job with her. The electronics from Simrad are awesome and the stereo system from JL Audio is amazing. It�s been windy all week, but we have been fishing every day and what a better way to break her in. The triple 350 Verados move her through the biggest of waves without any issues. Truly a very impressive machine.
To make matters even better she is catching fish right of the bat. The wind has been out of the east at a good clip and that has pushed a lot of mahis onto the edge. That combined with the fact that there has been a ton of bait in 40 to 80 feet of water and the mahi fishing has been very good. Most of the fish are in with the bait so we have been looking in the shallower water and finding the mahis pushing up bait. Once we spot a shower we can quickly cast live baits and hook up with some very decent size

Retrieved Text: As always, kite position is critical and will vary depending on what kind of air you want to do; you might aim for a long, flat air or a high, vertical air. The conditions will really affect where your kite should be; on light days, if your kite is low it won’t provide much lift and will instead drag you sideways rather than providing height so you’ll need to keep your kite a little higher to get that lift.
The unstrapped back-roll is a great starting point if you’re new to aerials as they’ll help you practice control through the air and develop your ability to land moves.
CONDITIONS: back-rolls are easiest in side-shore or side-onshore wind as you can head directly at the chop or wave and get a really good launching pad. But you don’t need a wave to practice on, just a decent bit of wind chop.
- Wind speed of between 10-25knts. Over 25 is usually more unpredictable and unsuitable for unhooking. Plus, the windier it becomes the smaller kite you’ll be riding which typically means it will turn and respond faster leaving less room for error. Larger kites have a slower response time and give you a little leeway, which is helpful when you’re starting out unhooked.
- Wind direction: unhooking is easiest in side-onshore all the way around to side-shore conditions. Side-off or offshore is still possible although much harder.
- Downwinders are great for starting out with unhooking as there’s no pressure to stay upwind or frustration when you mess up a wave.
For me,
