It aims to boost crop yields, maximize soil circumstances, enhance harvesting and processing equipment, reduce wastage, among others.
Additionally to assisting farmers to increase their crop production potential by maximizing soil health and wellbeing, enhancing the high quality of crops, and optimizing agribusiness costs, modern day agtech may also improve food safety and traceability. The reason is , agri-enterprises can better manage hazards and variability in plant production with the use of predictive analytics, allowing them to generate informed decisions based on the current and traditional performance of their farms.
A lot of technological developments have already improved farming practices in past times, including mechanization, the use of chemical manures and pesticides, genetically customized seeds, and more. But even more must be done to remodel the sector in order for us to be able to match future requirements for foodstuff.
According to the Un, a business-as-usual scenario might see us having to produce per cent more food by 2050. That’s for what reason the plagiarism of modern ag tech is crucial to our future achievement, as it permits us to grow food more successfully and sustainably with a lot less need for external inputs.
However , a major hurdle to agtech’s success is that it requires a substantial investment plus some farmers can be hesitant to do so. Fortunately, coverages that encourage the usage of digital tools will help you to overcome this. This includes endorsing and creating unambiguous restrictions that can help to ease the transition to new technology. It ought to be paired with educational initiatives to educate and train maqui berry farmers on how to successfully utilize contemporary ag technical. | 1agronomy

The $150M ($94M) programme will enable the water district to again use the dam for maximum water supply storage when completed in 2018.
Following a seismic stability evaluation in 2011, the water district implemented self-imposed water level restrictions on the dam, which were later approved by regulators. The evaluation revealed the dam is subject to significant damage if a large earthquake were to occur nearby. To protect downstream communities from the potential uncontrolled release of water, the reservoir will operate at 68% capacity until improvements are completed.
As programme manager, Black & Veatch will work with a team of local small business subcontractors to oversee planning, permitting, design and construction of improvements for the dam. | 29hydraulic_engineering

February home sales in Dane County continue to surge due to record low mortgage interest rates and an inventory shortage. Dane County's median home price was $335,000 in February, which was up 12.61% from last February.
This chart shows increased median home values, month over month, for the previous 5 years. Dane County is showing super strong levels of appreciation with continued growth year over year too.
Dane County had 410 homes sold in February which was down 1% from last February.
As buyers continue to battle over limited listings in Dane County, home prices continue to soar. The spring market cannot come soon enough as new listings are needed badly. Though we fully expect the demand to exceed the availability of homes the entire year. The 30 yr fixed moved up slightly over the last month to 3.00%. Increasing speculation of mortgage rates being on the rise for 2021. | 59statistics

Outer Banks face risk from sea-level rise
A U.S. study suggests North Carolina is one of the states that will be hurt the most by a substantial rise in sea-level.
Lead author Jim Titus of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said the sandy shore of the mid-Atlantic will erode faster than other coastal areas. The Outer Banks is at particular risk, The (Raleigh, N.C.) News & Observer reported Wednesday.The report suggests the sea-level could rise anywhere from 16 inches to about 3 feet by 2100. Earlier estimates, which suggested a 7-inch to 2-foot rise, did not include the impact of rapid ice melt in Antarctica or Greenland, the newspaper said.
Sea-level rise can affect coastal communities and habitats in a variety of different ways, including submerging low-lying lands, eroding beaches, converting wetlands to open water, intensifying coastal flooding, and increasing the salinity of estuaries and freshwater aquifers, the EPA said in a statement. | 45ocean_science

A survey of various religions of the world, their beliefs, practices, and ethical concerns. Focusing primarily on Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, students in this course examine the history, literature, structures, and manifestations of each of these religions. We examine how such disciplines as psychology, sociology, theology, art and ethics shape, and are shaped by, particular religious worldviews. The course ends with a specific examination of some of the key conflicts/disagreements between two of these religious traditions.
Introduces students to a wide variety of major religious traditions in the United States, and examines both how adherents of those traditions have responded to their "American" experience, as well as how religion generally has transformed in a diverse and increasingly pluralistic environment.
Same as CSRF 232.
Same as CSRF 233.
Focuses both on the distinctiveness of "Christian ethics" over against other ethical theories (e.g. ethical egoism, utilitarianism, etc.) and on the different ways in which Christians themselves use biblical texts within theological ethics.
Centers around two main questions: What has been the impact of science on theology, and are science and religion incompatible? The first question is primarily historical. We examine key advances in the history of science and theological responses to them. The second question is primarily philosophical. In each case, discussions take their departure from the issues raised in important primary texts.
Same as SOC 336.
An examination of Christian ethical perspectives on war and peace. Topics include the justifications for and limitations on the use of force, just war and pacifism, alternative approaches such as just peacemaking, and application of these perspectives to current issues.

Following are key Johnson quotes when he spoke alongside Macron just after his arrival:
“I want to be clear to you Emmanuel, to the French people, that of course I want a deal and I think that we can get a deal and a good deal. I was powerfully encouraged by our conversations last night in Berlin with our mutual friends and I know that with energy and with creativity and with application we can find a way forward for all our businesses and our citizens.
“It is vital for trust in politics that if you have a referendum then you should act on the instructions of the voters and that is why we must come out of the EU on October 31, deal or no deal, and then of course we can take our relationship forward.
“Let’s get Brexit done, let’s get it done sensibly and pragmatically and in the interests of both sides and let’s not wait until October 31. Let’s get on now in deepening and intensifying the friendship and partnership between us.
“When you look at the border with Northern Ireland … under no circumstances will the UK government be instituting, imposing, checks or controls of any kind at that border.
“We think there are ways of protecting the integrity of the single market and allowing the UK to exit from the EU, all and entire and perfect as it were.
“It was very interesting to hear some of positive noises that we’re now hearing about the ways that can be done. We look forward to developing those thoughts in the next few weeks.
“She (Merkel) said if we can do this in two years then we can do this in 30 days and I admire that ‘can-do’ spirit that she seemed to have and I think she is right. I think that the technical solutions are readily available and they have been discussed at great length.
“You can have trusted-trader schemes, you can have electronic pre-clearing for goods moving across the border and I just want to repeat one crucial thing, under no circumstances will the UK be putting checks at the frontier. We don’t think it is necessary from the point of view of the EU to do that to protect the integrity of the single market, we think there are other ways of doing that. We have got I think adequate time to do it, let’s get on and do it.
“A great deal of work has already been done to ensure that the transition on October 31 is as smooth as it possibly can be and so there are already agreements on aviation, on financial services, many other sectors and what we want to do in the next 71 days or whatever is remaining, we want to make sure we do all the necessary work on both sides of the Channel to make sure that whether we get an agreement or not our exit is as smooth and pain-free as possible for citizens and businesses on both sides.” | 55public_administration

- *BY TERRY Magnet’Eyes Palette…I covered my lids (to the brow bone) with the peachy shade as a base, added the chartreuse shade along my upper lid for depth and color and placed the first teal/peacock shade (top left corner) in my crease with a shadow brush. I then dampened the eyeliner side of the included brush and used it to run the midnight navy shade (top row, third color) along my upper lash line (like a liquid liner). Finally, I swept a touch of the peach and lighter teal (bottom row, second from right) shades along my lower lash line for definition.
- For brows, I used the BY TERRY Eyebrow Mascara in #4 Dark Brown (reviewed HERE) to lightly groom and polish.
- Two coats of BY TERRY Mascara Terribly in Black Parti-Pris (reviewed HERE) completed the eye look.
- For lips, I simply applied the new Tom Ford lip color in Bare Peach, a luminescent neutral peach shade (LOVING this!).
- A single pump of the decadent *African Botanics MARULA Shimmering Gold Oil (reviewed HERE) along my decollete and to tame flyaways was the finishing touch for a radiant glow.

Frustration is a common experience among Christians
longing for spiritual fulfillment, transformation and maturity. What is the road to becoming truly spiritual
and godly? Are we praying often
enough? Are we praying in the right way
and for the right things? Are we reading
and studying the Bible enough and in the right way? Are we reading the right books? What about fasting and meditation? What should we be doing? Are we doing enough? How do we become
spiritual? How do we become truly mature
Fortunately, here is no process for becoming
spiritual. God graciously gives us
everything we need for life and godliness.
In our spiritual journey we rely on Jesus Christ from the beginning to
the very end. Everything comes from God. Christian spirituality is simply following
Jesus and receiving from Him. Spiritual
formation is not a process of self-development.
God does the forming. Our
spiritual life is something graciously given to us by God.
So, why write about or spend any time focusing on our spiritual life?
We are called to
pursue the Lord and to be receptive to what He has given us. As we practice spiritual disciplines we take
in and receive Godís nourishing Word that feeds our soul. Jesus teaches us to pray and He intercedes
for us. We receive what we need from Him
as we read, pray, meditate and fast. God
gives us His Spirit. He gives us
gifts. In each encounter in spiritual
battle God guides us with His Word and His Holy Spirit. We depend on Him and He empowers us. We need to be spiritually awake and ready for
battle. Even suffering, temptation and
failure form us into the image of Jesus Christ as we learn to cling to Him and
depend on Him.
My prayer is that you will be nourished and encouraged by these study outlines.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a controllable two-phase network with amplitude compensation.
2. Description of the Related Art
One conventional modulation method for information technology is amplitude modulation. Amplitude-modulation signals have two side bands. The two side bands carry the same information, that is to say one side band is redundant. One side band is, therefore, normally removed from the modulated signal. One possible way to remove a side band is to use a filter. However, owing to the stringent damping and gradient requirements for the filter, a second method is often used, the phase method. In the phase method, the signal and local oscillator signal (LO signal) are split into two signal elements which are phase-shifted through 90° and applied to separate modulators and/or demodulators. Their output signals are added or subtracted and thus produce the upper or lower side band, respectively (see, for example, O. Zinke, H. Brunswig, “Hochfrequenztechnik 2” [Radio-frequency technology 2], fifth Edition, pages 550 to 554, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1999).
In order to achieve optimum suppression of one side band while the other side band is unchanged, it is necessary inter alia, for the two LO signals to be phase-shifted through exactly 90°, and to have exactly the same amplitudes. Controllable two-phase networks are used to carry out the method, and these use an LO signal as the input signal to produce two output signals which are of the same amplitude but have a phase difference of 90°. These are used for so-called 0°/90° LO signal processing by IQ modulators and demodulators.
All-pass networks are preferably used for shifting the phase of the LO signal, since they have a frequency-independent amplitude response. Networks which contain few active elements, or even no active elements at all (for example operational amplifiers), are used for radio-frequency signals. Active elements are frequency-limited and adversely affect the all-pass character of a network at high frequencies. For purely passive all-pass networks, only networks which are independent of the characteristic impedance are of interest for this application. These can be set to an exact phase shift of 90° by variation of one parameter, for example the value of a trimming capacitance C or of a trimming resistance R. However, networks such as these require abnormal impedances for the source (ZQ=0) and for the load (ZL→∞).
Passive all-pass networks which are independent of the characteristic impedance are known and are used for side band suppression. As a result of the restrictive conditions relating to the source impedance and load impedance, attempts have been made until now to approximate the abnormal impedances for the source (ZQ=0) and for the load (ZL→∞) as well as possible. As the frequencies rise, the source impedance and load impedance abnormalities become even more difficult to approximate. The phase difference of 90° can admittedly be appropriately readjusted, but there always remains an amplitude error between the two output signals, owing to the finite source and load impedances, and this error detracts from the side band suppression. Variable non-reactive resistances or capacitances are used to control the variable phase difference. A PIN diode is in this case normally used to achieve a variable resistance, and a capacitance diode is normally used to achieve a variable capacitance.
An object of the invention is to specify a two-phase network in which finite load impedances and, if appropriate and in addition, a finite source impedance that is not zero are provided, satisfying the stringent requirements for phase exactness and amplitude equality.
The above object can be achieved by a controllable two-phase network producing from an input signal, a first output signal and a second output signal at a first load and at a second load with at least approximately identical load impedances. The input signal originates from at least approximately identical sources, which contain ideal sources, and may additionally contain non-reactive source resistances (internal resistance). The two-phase network contains a phase path, which produces the first output signal from the input signal, and contains an amplitude path, which produces the second output signal from the input signal.
In the phase path, the first load, which is connected to ground on one side, is connected in series with two parallel branches, with a source which is connected to ground on one side being connected in series with a trimming resistance in one branch, and with a source which is connected to ground on one side being connected in series with a trimming capacitance in the other branch.
The amplitude path contains a compensation circuit, which is used for matching the amplitude of the second output signal to the amplitude of the first output signal. The amplitude path contains the second load, which is connected between ground and the output of the compensation circuit, and one or two sources which are each connected to ground on one side. The compensation circuit has one or two inputs, to which the one or two sources is or are respectively connected.
By taking account of the finite load impedances and any source impedances that are not zero in the circuit diagram for the phase path, these values are included in the network analysis of the two-phase network. The network analysis shows that the all-pass character of the phase path is maintained, as is the phase shift, which can be varied by the trimming resistance and/or capacitance, between the input signal and the first output signal, as well. However, the magnitude transformation ratio between the input signal and the first output signal is no longer necessarily equal to 1, but is less than or equal to 1.
This magnitude transformation ratio is taken into account by the compensation circuit in the amplitude path. For a fixed selected configuration (network structure and values of the components) of a phase path, this compensation circuit is designed such that the two-phase network has the following characteristics:
The network structure is required in the compensation circuit in order to achieve these two characteristics, and the corresponding network elements are obtained for given impedances of the source and of the loads in the phase path, by known analytical or numerical network analysis and synthesis methods.
One of the aspects of the present invention provides for both the source impedance and the load impedance to be purely non-reactive resistances. The compensation circuit, which is produced in this way has only one input. A trimming resistance is connected between its input and output. The network analysis of this two-phase network shows that the magnitude ratio β of the input signal to the two output signals in the two paths is β≦1. The transfer function at the output of the phase path is, in particular, that of an all-pass filter, multiplied by the factor β. The required stringent conditions for the phase and amplitude characteristics of the two-phase network are satisfied, despite the finite source and load impedances.
In another aspect of the present invention, mathematical relationships exist between the trimming resistance, the source resistance and the load resistance, that depending on the magnitude ratio β and the value of the source resistance RQ, the trimming resistance has at least approximately the value
and the load resistance has at least approximately the value
Owing to the mathematical relationships between the trimming resistance, the source resistance and the load resistance, it is better to change only the trimming capacitance and not the trimming resistance in order to set the phase shift to the desired value of generally exactly 90°. In order to achieve a satisfactory result with regard to the exactness of the amplitude equality and the phase difference, it is advantageous for the trimming resistances in the phase branch and in the amplitude branch to be synchronized as accurately as possible. No provision is made for a reactive component in the load capacitance.
In another aspect of the present invention, the load impedance is a parallel circuit formed by a non-reactive resistance and a capacitance. The source is ideal, that is to say the source impedance is equal to zero or does not exist. The compensation circuit that results from this has only one input. A parallel circuit formed from the trimming resistance and the trimming capacitance is connected between this input and its output.
In the configuration described above, the trimming resistance and capacitance can be varied without any problems in order to set the desired phase shift. Network analysis shows that both paths once again have exactly the same output amplitudes. The amplitude response of the two output amplitudes is not constant, that is to say the phase path is not exactly an all-pass filter.
The frequency response of the amplitude attenuation can be kept very low by choosing components with suitable values in the two-phase network. For example, one aspect of the present invention provides for the value R of the trimming resistance to be very much less (that is to say, for example, by a factor of at least 100) than the value RL of the load resistance, and for the value of the trimming capacitance C to be very much greater (that is to say, for example, by a factor of at least 100) than the value of the load capacitance CL. If this measure is not sufficient to produce satisfactory amplitude response results, a so-called equalizing filter can be connected upstream of the two-phase network in order to compensate for the amplitude response of the two-phase network by an inverse amplitude response. In this aspect of the present invention, exact synchronization of all the trimming elements in the phase path and amplitude path is advantageous.
Another aspect of the present invention provides for the value R of the trimming resistance to be α times the value RL of the load resistance, and for the value of the trimming capacitance C to be 1/α times the value of the load capacitance CL. This once again means that the amplitude response of the transfer function between the input and output signals is independent of frequency. There is then no need for an equalizing filter.
In another aspect of the present invention, a non-reactive source impedance which is not infinitely small is provided in addition to the complex-value load impedance, that is to say a parallel circuit formed by a non-reactive resistance and a capacitance. Network analysis of the phase path formed in this way leads to a compensation circuit with two inputs and one output. The trimming resistance is connected between one input and the output. There is a node, that is to say an electrical junction point, between the input and the trimming resistance. The trimming capacitance is connected between the second input and the output. There is likewise a node between the second input and the trimming capacitance. Each node is connected to ground via a series circuit formed by a resistance with half the value of the trimming resistance and a capacitance with twice the value of the trimming capacitance. Since the compensation circuit has two inputs, one source, which is connected to ground on one side, is connected to each of these two inputs. Good synchronization of all the control elements in both paths is necessary. The two trimming elements R and C can be varied without any problems. The amplitude equality of the two output signals is no longer satisfied exactly in the strict mathematical sense, but can be approximated fairly well, by choosing suitable values for all of the components. The amplitude discrepancy between the first output signal and the second output signal may, for example, be kept below one millidecibel for a given frequency range.
The components with the values of half the trimming resistance and twice the trimming capacitance are advantageously in the form of a parallel circuit formed by two equal trimming resistances and capacitances, since this is the best way to achieve the accuracy (twice the value or half the value) and the synchronization of the corresponding resistance and capacitance values.
In another aspect of the present invention, the trimming resistance is variable. This makes it possible to adjust the phase shift that is achieved in the phase path, and it can thus be readjusted if necessary. In this case, it is particularly advantageous for the trimming resistance to be in the form of a PIN diode, which has the advantage over a trimming potentiometer, for example, that it can be controlled electrically and not mechanically.
The trimming capacitance is variable in another aspect of the present invention. This results in the same advantages as those for a variable trimming resistance. It is particularly advantageous for the trimming capacitance to be formed by a capacitance diode, whose capacitance can be controlled electrically rather than mechanically, in a corresponding manner to the PIN diode.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the preferred embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b) are circuit diagrams of implementation options for a resistance (a) and a capacitance (b) from
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.
The two-phase network 2, which is shown in
As shown in
An input signal 9 is fed into the amplitude path 6 on the line 16 a from the source 8 a, which is identical to the source 8. Depending on the internal configuration, that is to say the impedance, of the sources 8 and 10 and of the load 22 in the phase path 4, a further source 8 b, which is likewise identical to the source 8, may be required in the amplitude path 6, and feeds a further input signal 9 on a line 16 b into the amplitude path 6. The one (8 a) or two (8 a,b) sources is or are connected to one (27 a) or both (27 a,b) of the inputs of a compensation circuit 26. The structure and the components in the compensation circuit 26 are dependent on the impedances of the sources 8 and 10, and of the load 22. After passing through the compensation circuit 26, the input signal 9 produces an output voltage UA, as the second output signal 28, across the load 22 a, which is connected to the output 29 and is identical to the load 22 in the phase path 4.
Network analysis of the illustrated two-phase network leads to the result that the ratio of the magnitudes of the two output voltages UP and UA to the magnitude of the source voltage UQ results in the factor:
The phase path 4 in this case has an all-pass characteristic, provided that
The transfer function in the phase path 4 is then:
Thus, according to (1), the magnitude of HP(s) is constant for all values of s, or in other words, the magnitude of HP(s) is constant for all frequencies. For the limit situation β→1, this results in the known combination RQ=0 and RL→∞ for a finite trimming resistance 18 with the value R. In the amplitude path 6, the factor β is simulated by a purely non-reactive voltage divider between the ideal source 30 and the load resistance 34. The amplitudes of the two output signals 24 and 28 are mathematically exactly the same, and the phase shift between the two can be set to exactly 90° by the choice of the trimming capacitance 20. It is generally impossible to vary the trimming resistance 18 since, on the basis of (2) and (3), the values of the source and load impedances 32 and 34 must then be readjusted. In this embodiment, the source and load impedances are restricted to purely non-reactive values RQ and RL. No provision is made, for example, for the load 22 or 22 a to have a complex-value impedance ZL and, in general, this would lead to contravention of the amplitudes and phase conditions between the output signals 24 and 28.
Examples of values for the circuit illustrated in
In this embodiment, the values R and C of the trimming resistance and trimming capacitance can in general be chosen such that R<<RL and C>>CL. The amplitude of the output voltage UP from the phase path 4 thus remains sufficiently independent of frequency that the all-pass characteristics of the phase path 4 are still satisfied well. The analysis of the two-phase network according to (5) shows that both paths have exactly the same output amplitudes. With the boundary conditions R<<RL and C>>CL mentioned above, the magnitude ratio in (5) is equal, to a good approximation, to the constant 1. In this refinement of the invention, both R and C are variable. One of the advantages of this embodiment is correspondingly good synchronization between all the control elements, that is to say the trimming resistances 18 and trimming capacitances 20, in both paths 4 and 6. There is no abnormal load impedance 32 with ZL→∞, but only the abnormal source impedance RQ=0. The minor discrepancy in the frequency response of the magnitude ratio of the two output signals according to equation (5) from a constant value is generally tolerable. If not, in order to compensate for this frequency response, it is possible to connect a so-called equalizing filter upstream of the two-phase network 2, which amplifies the input signal 9 that is fed in for all the sources 30 in the two-phase network 2 in advance, by the inverse value corresponding to the magnitude attenuation according to (5).
As an alternative or in addition to the conditions R<<RL and C>>CL, components may also satisfy the conditions RL=αR and CL=C/α. The exact all-pass condition is then satisfied once again, and this results in an amplitude attenuation, which is constant for all frequencies, of:
In this situation, no equalizing filter is required to compensate for a frequency response of the magnitude transfer function.
Exact synchronization of all the control elements is particularly advantageous, especially in the embodiment that is shown in FIG. 4. However, this relates not only to the various instances of the trimming capacitance 20 and the trimming resistance 18, but also to the values R/2 and 2C of the resistance 38 and of the capacitance 40. These are therefore actually expediently configured as shown in
All of the elements, for example all of the trimming resistances 18, in each two-phase network 2, as shown in
The sources 30, possibly in conjunction with their source resistances 32, are advantageously configured as shown in FIG. 6. This leads to all of the sources that are used in the two-phase network and the electrical signals, which are emitted from them being at least approximately identical. An actual and single signal source 42 feeds an original source signal to an amplifier or phase inverter 44, whose outputs produce the amplified signal 46 and the amplified and inverted signal 48. Emitter followers 50 each contain a commercially available transistor, whose collector is connected to a supply voltage +VCC, and whose emitter is connected via an emitter resistance 58 to a supply voltage −Vee. The two amplified signals 46 and 48 are passed via the emitter followers 50 and optional output resistances 52. The signals are for this purpose fed into the base of the transistors in the emitter follower 50, and are tapped off at their emitters. This thus results at the outputs 54 in a signal, which, for example, corresponds to the signal from the sources 8, 8 a, 8 b and, at the outputs 56, in a signal which, for example, corresponds to the signal from the source 10. Since the bases of the emitter followers are connected and they are configured identically, it is thus possible to produce two or more identical sources 8, 8 a, 8 b and 10 as required, for example, in
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to preferred embodiments thereof and examples, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.

A total of 8,787 immigrants were arrested trying to slip into Greece in 2009, whereas in 2010, the figure shot up to 47,088, which represents a rise of 535 percent.
Citizens’ Protection Minister Christos Papoutsis announced plans earlier this year to construct a 12-5 kilometer fence on the Evros border to deter clandestine migrants and human traffickers.
There were much smaller rises in the number of migrants who were detained on Dodecanese or Cycladic islands last year.
Overall, the number of illegal immigrants detected by border guards was slightly higher in 2010 (132,524) than in 2009 (126,145).
Last year, more than 52,000 migrants were repatriated. | 57sociology

Located on the 59th and 60th floors of the hand-cast, arch-windowed, bronze-trimmed building, the units feature panoramic views of the city, unique balconies that aid in airflow and cooling, and furnishings from the Aston Martin Home Collection, produced in Italy by Formitalia, with fabrics, hides, and metals that reflect the materials used in Aston Martin’s luxurious handmade auto interiors.
Aston has collaborated on luxury buildings before, but this is the first one in New York. It’s also its first collaboration with Adjaye, though the connection between the designers has a deeper history. “I graduated from the Royal College of Art as did David, and we were both born in the same year, so we were at the college at the same time,” Reichman says. “And through alumni dinners and knowing friends of friends, someone said, you really should meet up with David and do something together. And that’s how it started.”
Adjaye, the winner of the Isamu Noguchi Award, the Louis I. Kahn Memorial Award, and the Thomas Jefferson Medal in Architecture, and the designer of the stunning and moving National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., furthers this notion of a collaborative spirit between the two former classmates. | 2artistic

“I was always targeted. I am happy to be targeted,” Gandhi told the media here.
He was responding accusations by Bharatiya Janata Party MP Kirit Somaiya that Kanishka Singh, an aide to Gandhi, was involved in the AgustaWestland and the 2010 Commonwealth Games (CWG) scams.
Somaiya said Kanishka Singh had shares in Emaar MGF Land Ltd, a real estate company that also has as a director, Guido Ralph Haschke, who is an accused in the AgustaWestland case.
“Emaar MGF was formed by the family of Kanishka Singh, who is advisor/Principal Secretary to Rahul Gandhi,” Somaiya said. He urged the government to check the links between the companies and Gandhi.
Kanishka Singh has dubbed the allegations as “baseless, false and given with an ulterior political motive”.
A statement from the Congress accused Somaiya of making false allegations against Kanishka Singh with malafide intent since February 2013.
“Kanishka Singh … has absolutely nothing to do with the matter. Singh wishes for parties, including AgustaWestland or Hashke or Emaar-MGF, to be punished in the harshest possible way if found guilty,” it said.
Added Congress spokesman Randeep Singh Surjewala: “Instead of relying on media leaks, insinuations, innuendos and falsehood, the BJP government should conclude the inquiry (against AgustaWestland) and give the harshest punishment to those found guilty.” | 33law

The holy grail for plastic surgeons is a totally non invasive method of shaping the body by reducing the amount of fat in areas of the body that are disproportionally large. Liposuction of some type, usually utilizing some power assist, presently is the gold standard in fat removal. This new Exilis machine, while not as effective as a surgical result can be used after liposuction to help skin retract and to smoothe out the result. There are those patients that either can not, or will not, opt for an invasive procedure like liposuction and yet still want to reduce some areas of the body. The Exilis treatment is perfect for these patients. You can read more about it and my comments here. | 26health

Comments about Battery Tender 12V Super Smart Battery Tender Plus:
I've had Battery Tenders of this model in use for about 10 years, and have been very happy with their performance and reliability. If I had to guess, I saved 2x the cost of the Battery Tender in the first year, as I am very neglectful of batteries otherwise, due to having many motorcycles and vintage cars not regularly driven. In some cases prior to using Battery Tenders, I would allow my batteries to get too discharged, then be destroyed by conventional chargers. The Battery Tender solves all of the above! Never overcharges nor allows the battery to deplete. My father-in-law also uses this model on his Jeep, which is stored in Colorado for 10 months/year, and he says this is the first time he has managed to keep a battery alive for more than 2 years.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Tender Loving Care for Your Battery
from Allentown, PA
Serious enthusiasts understand the importance of a good quality battery and proper maintenance. Unlike conventional [motorcycle] battery chargers, this is a smart charger that won't overcharge or overheat your battery, thus potentially extending battery life by years. I got seven years out of my last battery - a Yuasa, and I attribute much of that to the Battery Tender. Used properly, the Battery Tender could pay for itself after one season.
Great Battery Tender, But .......
from Port St. Lucie, FL
This is a great battery charger for maintaining a battery over the winter months or while your bike is in storage. The plug in connector can be installed on your battery and tucked out of sight. But remember to watch your battery water level if you're not using a "maintenance free" battery!
from Madison WI
I have the it cannected to the battery on my motorcycle with the wires designed for that. Also have the clip wires for keeping the battery in the car in storage charged too.

However, in most of the data measured with automobiles, there are many frequency components of 1/2, 1/4, or 1/6 of the fundamental frequency and their higher harmonics. An investigation on the generation of such frequency components is reported. It was found that the differences in the lengths of the exhaust pipes generate such frequency components. This paper describes, first, the reduction of the theoretical equation in which the phase modulation in the exhaust noise due to the difference in the length of the exhaust pipe of each cylinder generates such frequency components. The spectra which have the same frequency components as the spectra of the measured exhaust noise are obtained by numerical computation of the equation. The same results are also obtained by computer simulations. The difference in sound quality is felt by hearing the synthesized sound. It is expected that this study is usable in realizing an engine of agreeable exhaust noise quality. | 52physics

The plans for the 60,000 seat stadium were designed by Herzog & de Meuron, who also designed the Beijing Olympic Stadium.
The new stadium would be almost half as big again as the existing one, which has a 42,000 capacity. It would replace the existing ground, which has been built over time, with a completely new brick-clad construction.

Directed by Beth B
Call Her Applebroog
This deeply personal portrait of acclaimed New York–based artist Ida Applebroog was shot with mischievous reverence by her filmmaker daughter, Beth B (Exposed). Born in the Bronx to Orthodox Jewish émigrés from Poland, Applebroog, now in her 80s, looks back at how she expressed herself through decades of drawings and paintings, as well as her private journals. With her daughter’s encouragement, she investigates the stranger that is her former self, a woman who found psychological and sexual liberation through art. As Beth B finds a deeper understanding of her mother as a human being, Applebroog shares a newfound appreciation for her own provocative work. –MoMA Doc Fortnight
Call Her Applebroog had its World Premiere at MoMA’s Doc Fortnight on February 26, 2016. It opened at the Metrograph in New York on June 10, 2016.
Read about Ida Applebroog and Beth B in The New York Times and read an interview with Beth B about the film in Vogue.
To book this film please contact Nancy Gerstman or Emily Russo or call 212-274-1989.
CRITICS' PICK! 'Call Her Applebroog,' a brief feature about the inventive, provocative artist Ida Applebroog, is less a documentary than a love letter... Beth B is not out to deliver a comprehensive biography. Instead, she achieves a vivid snapshot of a still-vital artist late in a still-purposeful life.
REVEALING...The director has the sort of access to her subject, both logistically and emotionally, that gives the film a unique tension.
The possibilities and limitations of art as a route to self-knowledge are on display in Beth B’s...gently incisive portrait of her mother, Ida Applebroog.
The documentary reveals a woman as layered, wry and dark as the artwork that’s won her Guggenheim and MacArthur Foundation Fellowships, amid plenty of other recognition.... Applebroog’s art is intimate and political, confessional and sometimes exhibitionist.
Thoroughly engaging and intimate.

The video shows the Marines conducting aerial gunnery with the GAU-17 Minigun and the GAU-18 M2 machine gun on an UH-1Y Venom helicopter near Yuma, Arizona.
The GAU-17 Minigun is a flexible mount firearm that is mostly used by the United States Air Force (USAF) and United States Navy (USN). The GAU-17 Minigun features Gatling-style rotating barrels with an external power source, typically an electric motor.
The term “Mini” in the “Minigun” is used to denote the firearm’s slightly smaller size in comparison to bigger caliber designs that use a rotary barrel design, such as the 20-millimeter M61 Vulcan. The term “gun” is used to denote the firearm’s use of rifle caliber bullets, instead of shells used by an autocannon.
The GAU-18 M2 machine gun is a lighter variant of the M2 and M3 models of the .50 Caliber Machine Gun. This machine gun is used primarily on the USAF’s MH-53 Pave Low and HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopters.
The GAU-18 M2 machine gun is typically set up as a left-hand feed, right-hand charging weapon. On the HH-60 Pavehawks that use the EGMS (External Gun Mount System), however, the GAU-18 M2 machine gun is isolated from the shooter by a recoil absorbing cradle, and is fed by a chute adapter attached to the left or right, allowing the machine gun to receive ammunition from externally mounted ammunition containers holding 600 rounds each.
The UH-1Y Venom helicopter – also called the Super Huey or Yankee– is a twin-engine, medium-sized utility helicopter built by Bell Helicopter under the H-1 upgrade program of the United States Marine Corps.
The UH-1Y Venom has a four-blade, all-composite rotor system designed to withstand up to 23 mm rounds. The helicopter also features upgraded engines and transmission, as well as a digital cockpit with flat panel multifunctional displays. | 66weapons_science

|Sonia Uyterhoeven is Gardener for Public Education. Join her each weekend for home gardening demonstrations on a variety of topics in the Home Gardening Center.|
Plants such as stonecrop (Sedum) and hens and chicks (Sempervivum) have evolved fleshy leaves (the same strategy as cacti) to help them retain water during periods of drought. They are the camels of the plant world. Other plants have leaves that are thick and leathery or finely cut to help prevent water loss.
Some plants have evolved a waxy, whitish coating (glaucous) on the leaves. Other plants such as lamb’s ear (Stachys, pictured) have evolved hairy or woolly surfaces to help conserve moisture. Plants with fine hairs are easy to identify in the garden; they have gray or silver foliage that reflects light and heat. Many of these plants contain fragrant oils in their foliage that serves a dual purpose of protecting the plant by repelling predators as well as helping to slow down the rate of water evaporation.
While these fragrant oils may be offensive to grazing animals, many are tempting to our curious noses. Lavender (Lavandula) is one of my personal favorites. Wormwood (Artemisia), yarrow (Achillea), and culinary sage (Salvia officinalis) are several other examples. These plants need full sun and good drainage to survive. It is generally wet feet and not the cold that kills these plants in winter.
Many prairie plants have deep tap roots. The advantage of these tap roots are twofold: to help the plant rejuvenate when consumed by grazing animals and to help them weather dry spells. Plants with deep roots systems dry out less quickly than those with shallow roots. A grassland species that is notable for a large tap root is false blue indigo (Baptisia).
There are some wonderful cultivars of false blue indigo on the market. ‘Purple Smoke’ has been out for a number of years. It has steel-gray stems and robust purple flowers. ‘Carolina Moonlight’ is a more recent introduction that has creamy-yellow flowers.
The latest addition, ‘Twilite Prairieblues’, has burgundy flowers highlighted with yellow. If you are looking to enhance your white garden with one of these tough natives, try Baptisia alba var. alba ‘Wayne’s World’. These plants are slow to establish, but once they get going they are glorious. Warning: Rabbits love to nibble on the young plants.
In addition to conserving water, there are plenty of other reasons why drought-tolerant plants are desirable for the garden. Many such as tickseed (Coreopsis), ornamental sage (Salvia), and calamint (Calamintha) are stay in bloom for a long time. Others such as sea holly (Eryngium) and butterfly weed (Asclepias) make excellent, long-lasting cut flowers. There is a new sea holly on the market this year: Eryngium x zabellii ‘Big Blue’. Try it and tell me if its strong stems and big blue flowers live up to its reputation. | 1agronomy

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article
An ion approach is demonstrated to determine energy resolution in both semiconductor detectors and scintillators over a continuous energy range. For semiconductors, the energy resolution of a silicon detector was measured as a function of helium ion energy, and the values from extrapolation to high energies are in good agreement with the literature data from alpha measurements. For scintillators, benchmark crystals subject to He+ irradiation were investigated, and the agreement of energy resolution between the ion and gamma measurements indicates that the ion approach can be used to predict the energy resolution of the candidate materials in thin-film form or small crystals when large crystals necessary for gamma-ray measurements are unavailable.

Objective To identify the key targets of ginkgo leaf extract against diabetic retinopathy (DR), and to identify the underlying pharmacological mechanism using network pharmacology.
Methods Potential targets of active components in ginkgo leaves were searched from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform and SwissTargetPrediction database. Therapeutic targets highly related to DR were retrieved from the GeneCards and DisGENET databases. Their intersection targets were subjected to Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses to construct the active component-target network. Based on the degree of network nodes, key active components and targets were used for molecular docking verification.
Results A total of 27 active components and 34 potential therapeutic targets of ginkgo leaf extract in the treatment of DR were screened. GO enrichment analysis indicated that these therapeutic targets were mainly enriched in the processes of inflammation, oxidative stress, angiogenesis, and hypoxic damage. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that they were mainly enriched in the advanced glycation end product-receptors for advanced glycation end products, mitogen active protein kinase, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase-protein kinase B, hypoxia inducible factor-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and interleukin (IL)-17 signaling pathways. According to degree values calculated from the active component-target network, the top four key active components with higher degrees were quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, and isorhamnetin, and the top eight key targets were serine/threonine protein kinase 1, vascular endothelial growth factor A, IL-6, TNF, nitric oxide synthase 3, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ, IL-10, and matrix metalloproteinase-9. The binding activities between key active components and targets were good.
Conclusions A variety of active compounds contained in ginkgo leaf extract targeted therapeutic targets related to DR, and regulated multiple signal pathways, thereby exerting a therapeutic effect on DR.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular complication of diabetes. It can cause blindness in people over 50 years of age 1. Simply controlling blood glucose is not an effective way to delay the occurrence and development of DR. At present, therapeutic methods, mostly used in the treatment of advanced DR, such as laser photocoagulation, intravitreal injection of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs, and vitrectomy, have been proven to effectively inhibit the progression of DR, but have also been shown to damage some tissues 2-3. Due to natural and safe characteristics, traditional Chinese herbal medicines used in DR prevention and control have attracted more attention 4. Ginkgo leaves have been used clinically for thousands of years; Ginkgo biloba preparations have been used in more than 130 countries. Because of its extensive use, well-known experts from Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, and the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, have prepared the Chinese Expert Consensus on Clinical Application of Oral Ginkgo Biloba Preparations as a guideline for the clinical use of ginkgo leaves. The Ginkgo biloba preparation is recommended for patients with early DR 5. According to numerous basic and clinical studies, ginkgo leaf extracts can safely and effectively minimize retinal microvascular and nerve damage, and it can be used as an alternative therapy for the prevention and treatment of DR 6-9. Ginkgo leaves contain many pharmacological components, such as flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, and isorhamnetin, etc.) and terpenoids (ginkgolide, etc.) 10-11. These components may play a positive role in improving blood microcirculation, regulating lipid metabolism, preventing blood clot formation, resisting oxidative stress, and reducing inflammation 12-14. However, the specific mechanism of its treatment of DR has not been fully clarified. Therefore, it is necessary to further identify the active components in ginkgo leaves to identify the pathways and mechanisms by which these components successfully treat DR. In addition, the network pharmacology method, used in the field of ophthalmology, can be used to study the underlying mechanism of drug action in vivo, and reveal the regulatory principles of small molecule drugs 15-17. This study therefore aimed to identify the underlying mechanism of Ginkgo leaf extract in the treatment of DR by using a network pharmacological approach, to provide new ideas for the treatment of DR.
1 Materials and Methods
1.1 Screening of active components and targets of ginkgo leaf extracts from databases
The active components of ginkgo leaves with the threshold of oral bioavailability ≥ 30% and drug-likeness ≥ 0.18 were searched using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) (https://old.tcmsp-e.com/tcmsp.php). The TCMSP and SwissTargetPrediction database (http://www.swisstargetprediction.ch/) were also searched for known targets and predicted targets of active components in ginkgo leaves, by setting the threshold probability > 0.3.
1.2 Screening DR-related targets from databases, and identification of potential therapeutic targets
The targets related to the treatment of DR were identified using the GeneCards (https://www.genecards.org/) and DisGENET (https://www.disgenet.org/home/) databases by retrieving the term: diabetic retinopathy. Targets highly related to DR were screened with relevance score > 5 and gene-disease association score > 0.1 as thresholds. By intersecting these two targets, potential therapeutic targets against DR were identified.
1.3 Construction of the ginkgo lead extract active components-target network, and analysis of key nodes
The target protein was imported into the STRING (https://string-db.org/) database after the target name was normalized in the Uniprot (https://www.uniprot.org/) database. The interactions of target proteins with high confidence > 0.7 were imported into Cytoscape 3.8.2 software to construct an active components-potential therapeutic target network of ginkgo leaf extracts. The key active components and key targets with high importance according to degree value parameters were screened using the NetworkAnalyzer plug-in in Cytoscape 3.8.2 software. The degree value is the number of interactions between nodes and other nodes, which represents the importance of nodes.
1.4 Functional enrichment analysis and pathway analysis for biological functions and the signaling pathways of targets
The potential therapeutic targets of ginkgo leaf extract against DR were subjected to functional enrichment analysis, pathway analysis, and visualization using R software (R-3.6.3; The R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). In this process, the org.hs.eg., the db package was used to convert the above target names into entrez identifications, and the clusterProfiler package was used to perform Gene Ontology (GO) for identifying biological functions (with P-value < 0.05 and Q-value < 0.05 as thresholds), as well as the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) signal pathway enrichment analysis to identify potential therapeutic targets. Finally, the enrichplot package was used to visualize the top 10 GO entries and the top 20 signal pathways in three modules of biological process, cell composition, and molecular function, where they were sorted by the count value of the number of enriched genes.
1.5 Molecular docking verification of the binding effect of key active components and key targets of ginkgo leaf extracts
Mol2 files for key active components were downloaded from the Pubchem (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) database, which were then converted into three-dimensional (3D) structure files in PDF using Chem3D software. For key target proteins, the 3D structure files in PDP format were directly downloaded from the Protein Database (http://www.rcsb.org/pdb). Autodock 4.2 software was then used to set Gridbox parameter ranges based on protein active sites, and Autodock Vina 1.1.2 software was used for molecular docking. PyMOL was used to show the docking diagram of the target protein and the active component. Based on the principle of lowest binding free energy, the key active components that showed the best docking with each key target protein were determined. This lower binding free energy led to more stable binding between the target protein and the active component, resulting in a higher possibility of interaction between the two components. The design flow chart of this study is shown in Figure 1.
2.1 Active components in ginkgo leaf extracts
A total of 307 Ginkgo leaf compounds were retrieved from the TCMSP database. By setting the screening conditions of oral bioavailability ≥ 30% and drug-likeness ≥ 0.18, Ginkgolide A, a component in ginkgo leaf extract with high content and pharmacological activity, was obtained from the supplementary literature 18, and a total of 27 active components in ginkgo leaf extract were obtained. Basic information of active components in ginkgo leaf extract is shown in Table 1.
2.2 Potential therapeutic targets of ginkgo leaf extracts against DR
A total of 312 effective targets of 13 active components were obtained after combining the 118 targets obtained from the Swiss target prediction database and 224 targets from the TCMSP database. Another 196 highly related targets were identified from 1,553 DR-related therapeutic targets retrieved from the GeneCards and DisGENET databases. By intersecting the 312 targets of active components in ginkgo leaf extracts and the 196 DR-related therapeutic targets, a total of 34 potential therapeutic targets of ginkgo leaf extract against DR were identified (Figure 2).
2.3 Functional enrichment analysis and pathway analysis
2.3.1 Biological functions of potential therapeutic targets of ginkgo leaves against DR
The targets were mainly involved in the processes of chemical stress, oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species metabolism, and protein kinase B signaling. Among the cell components, the targets were mainly found in the secretory granule lumen, the cytosolic vesicle lumen, the membrane region, and the lipid raft pathways. Regarding molecular functions, the targets were mainly involved in the processes of receptor ligand activity, signaling receptor activator activity, cytokine receptor binding, cytokine activity, and growth factor activity (Figure 3A).
2.3.2 Biological signaling pathways of potential targets of ginkgo leaf extracts for the treatment of DR
The targets were enriched in various signaling pathways, including the advanced glycation end product-receptor for advanced glycation end product (AGE-RAGE) signaling pathway, hemodynamics-related flow shear stress and atherosclerotic pathway, proliferation and regulation of angiogenesis related mitogen active protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K-Akt) signaling pathway, hypoxia stress-related hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway, immunity and inflammation-related tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway, and interleukin, IL)-17 signaling pathway (Figure 3B).
2.4 The active components-potential therapeutic targets network of ginkgo leaf extract and its key nodes
The top four key active components with higher degrees in the network were quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, and isorhamnetin, and the top eight key targets were serine/threonine protein kinase 1, vascular endothelial growth factor A, IL-6, TNF, nitric oxide synthase 3, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ, IL-10, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (Figure 4).
2.5 Validation of binding effects between key active components and key targets in ginkgo leaf extracts
The docking results of key active components with key targets showed that the binding free energies were all less than or equal to -5.0 kcal/mol, indicating that the key active components had good binding with key targets (Table 2). Specifically, quercetin was connected with hydrogen bonds of Ser205, Thr211, Ile290, and Lys268 of AKT1 (Figure 5A), Leu66 of VEGFA (Figure 5B), and Tyr123, Ser107, Gln110, and Glu124 of TNF (Figure 5C). Kaempferol was docked by hydrogen bounding via Met358 of NOS3 (Figure 5D). Luteolin was hydrogen-bonded to Arg16, Leu19, and Arg24 and Gln28 of IL-6 (Figure 5E), Glu142 of IL-10 (Figure 5F), and Met247, Ala189, and Gln227 of MMP-9 (Figure 5G). Isorhamnetin was hydrogen-bonded to Gln273 and Thr268 of PARRG (Figure 5H).
In this study, a total of 27 active compounds of ginkgo leaf extract and 34 potential therapeutic targets against DR were identified. According to the degree values of the interaction network nodes between the active components of ginkgo leaf extract and their potential therapeutic targets, four key active components were identified, including quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, and isorhamnetin, and eight key therapeutic targets of AKT1, VEGF-A, IL-6, TNF, NOS3, PPARG, IL-10, and MMP-9. Previous studies have indicated that these key active components are essential for the treatment of DR. For example, quercetin reduced the production of TNF and IL-6 induced by high glucose, and the expression of MMP-9 and VEGF in rats with DR 19-20. Luteolin and quercetin inhibit the VEGF-induced neovascularization, both in vitro and in vivo 21–23. Kaempferol inhibits the angiogenesis of human retinal endothelial cells in a high glucose environment through the targeted inhibition of VEGF 24-25. Additionally, the results of molecular docking between key active components and key targets also verified the binding activity between them.
In this study, 34 potential targets of Ginkgo leaves for the treatment of DR were subjected to GO and KEGG enrichment analyses. The results showed that active components in ginkgo leaves extracts regulated AGE-RAGE, MAPK, PI3K-Akt, HIF-1, TNF, and IL-17 signal pathways in lipid rafts, secretory granule cavities, cytoplasmic vesicle cavities, and other cell components. This meant that it could delay DR progress by reducing inflammation, antioxidant stress, hypoxia induced injury, and by inhibiting angiogenesis. These signaling pathways may be potential therapeutic targets against DR. Among others, an abnormal AGE-RAGE signaling pathway may cause macrovascular and microvascular complications in diabetes mellitus 26. Binding of AGE to RAGE induces a strong signaling cascade and abnormal activation of downstream signaling pathways such as MAPK and PI3K-AKT. This causes retinal microvascular dysfunctions, such as endothelial dysfunction, pericyte apoptosis, neovascularization, and vascular inflammation 27–29. According to previous studies, hypoxia can induce the progression of DR by promoting neovascularization and vascular dystrophy 30-31. In DR, the hypoxia-related HIF-1 signaling pathway regulates retinal neovascularization by affecting VEGF expression, participates in inflammation by regulating the expression of pro-inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α 32-33, and ameliorates retinal microvascular and neuronal damage by inhibiting inflammation mediated by the TNF and IL-17 signaling pathways 33-34. These results suggested that ginkgo leaf extract played a role in the treatment of DR by acting on multicellular types, regulating multiple signaling pathways, and producing different biological functions.
In conclusion, the active components, key targets, and underlying mechanism of ginkgo leaf extract in the treatment of DR were analyzed by network pharmacology, and the binding activity between compounds and the targets were verified by molecular docking. Together, this study provided the basis for further understanding of the pharmacological mechanism of ginkgo leaves extract in the treatment of DR. However, the results need to be further verified by experimental studies.

An engagement shoot at Joshua Tree National Park! So if you’re thinking about this iconic location as the backdrop for your engagement shoot, take a look at these gorgeous photos for inspiration of different ways to style the session. Be inspired by the edgy jumpsuits, couture gowns and stunning scenery… take a look!
In this ragged and rough environment, with the cacti and huge rock formations- it can be absolutely stunning to juxtapose all of this with an elegant tulle gown, just like the one photographed. Pale colours, such as whites, creams and soft blushes work great, and don’t forget its all about those layers of delicate fabric. Your other half can be dressed in a simple suit to compliment your aesthetic.
If you’re wanting to add a modern twist to your engagement shoot, why not mix it up and try a jumpsuit like the one pictured below? The only accessories you’ll need is a beautiful bouquet and perhaps some bold earrings or statement shoes! You can ask your partner to keep it simple and sexy with a black ensemble.
Wanting to create a bohemian vibe at your shoot? A hat is a perfect (and practical!) accessory to create this boho look, we’re also loving this bride’s long braids.
Even if Joshua Tree isn’t the right choice for you… or is a little too far away, a similar look can be created at pretty much any desert location! Just grab your photographer and head out into the wilderness for a muted background to your gorgeous bridal get-up. Pure perfection!

It is an evening of fraud, forgery and illegitimacy, centering on the complicated relationship between a father and son.
This lost text is the true story of the famous King Arthur from the Bard's point of view. It is a tale of epic war, love and the search for one man's true calling. THE TRAGEDY OF ARTHUR is a play full of Shakespeare's language, poetry insight, drama, beauty, and history; however the mystery of its true origins, begs us to blend and blur what we know and what we choose to believe.
GSP originally hosted a sold out reading of THE TRAGEDY OF ARTHUR at The Public Theater during the summer of 2011 that American Theater Magazine called a "full-throttle reading" of a "swashbuckling, blood-and-guts five-act history play."
Scheduled tonight, March 22 through April 7 THE TRAGEDY OF ARTHUR will have a performance schedule of Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:00pm, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm, and 2:00pm matinees on Saturdays and Sundays at TBG Theatre (312 West 36th Street, 3rd Floor) in Manhattan. Tickets are $18 and can be purchased through SmartTix by calling 212-868-4444 or online at www.SmartTix.com. | 15drama_and_film

Freedom For The Thought We Hate: A Biography of the First Amendment
Not the best of titles (not much about religious freedom here and it is not just about stuff we "hate"), but Anthony Lewis provides a good introduction for the general reader. Most interesting is his acceptance of limits, including to respect privacy, and rejecting too much special favoritism of the press. A few factual slip-ups though. | 34library

It is about two best friends, whose journeys through life lead them in very different directions.
It is about the struggle to forge our own identities within the confines of social expectations, and the damage and shame we can experience as a result.
It is about love, lust and capital.
It is about French literature, nominative determinism and dental hygiene.
It is about what we do with the shit that life throws at us.
Bruises also explores the still hugely taboo topic of sex work in the hope of opening up a more informed and compassionate dialogue. In performing this play, we hope to contribute to the demystification of this part of life, and to explore it within the wider tapestry of human experience. | 2artistic

Nucor and Gerdau Ameristeel have issued letters to customers indicating that they have cut prices on both steel long products while Keystone Steel & Wire has cut rebar prices by $70.
“With scrap prices falling, steel prices are going down,” says Denis McMorrow, president of metal deck maker D-MAC Industries in Alpharetta, Ga. But he and other buyers say actual sales are lower than the mills are acknowledging--with rebar as low as $900/ton and merchant bar as low as $953. Rebar is used to strengthen concrete in structures ranging from bridges to buildings; merchant bar has myriad industrial and commercial uses and comes as rounds, flats, angles, squares and channels.

The Montreal Canadiens have had many legendary players over the years. They have had terrific goal scorers like Guy Lafleur and Rocket Richard. Their list of fantastic goaltenders is far longer than any other team in the history of hockey.
When it comes to defensemen, most will recall the “Big Three” of Larry Robinson, Serge Savard and Guy Lapointe who patrolled the blue line together in the 1970’s and were a huge part of the best teams in NHL history.
However, as good as all three of those defenders were, the best blue liner in the history of Habs hockey could very well be Doug Harvey.
It took many years after he was retired for the team to agree, but they finally retired his number 2 and hung it in the rafters of the Montreal Forum on October 26, 1985. Harvey had not played in the NHL in close to 20 years, but the organization finally corrected its error and honoured the great Doug Harvey 35 years ago today.
Whether he was the best defenceman in Habs history or not could be up for debate. But there is no question he was the best defenceman in the NHL for a very long time.
While Bobby Orr and later Paul Coffey changed the game for defencemen by allowing blue liners to play a more offensive role and join the attack, it was Doug Harvey who paved the way for the next generation of great offensive defencemen.
Playing on a team stacked with talented forwards like Jean Beliveau, Maurice Richard, Boom Boom Geoffrion, Henri Richard and Dickie Moore, it was Harvey who would start the rush from his own end and get the puck up to the skilled forwards, or just lead them as he carried the puck up ice.
It was Harvey’s excellent power play abilities on the power play that led to the league changing its rules and allowing players to leave the penalty box after a goal is scored against his team during a minor penalty.
The Montreal native won his first Norris Trophy in 1955 and would win seven of eight between 1955 and 1962. The only time he didn’t win it in that span was in 1959 when his defence partner Tom Johnson won the award. Harvey played a total of 1113 career NHL games and had 540 points, during a time when not many defencemen were scoring points.
Harvey was a huge part of the Canadiens teams that won five consecutive Stanley Cups from 1956-60. He won six in total with the Canadiens in his 14 seasons in Montreal.
He elevated himself far above his peers in the 1950’s and early 1960’s and was rightfully named to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1973. His jersey number was not retired by the Canadiens for 12 more years.

But finally, on this day in 1985, the organization chose to retire the number of the best defenceman that ever played for the Montreal Canadiens. | 27history

With no timeouts, Cavs offensive coordinator Robert Anae opted to run Albert Reid on the first-down play, and Reid ran for four yards.
Inexplicably, quarterback Kurt Benkert was directed to spike the ball to stop the clock, setting up a third-and-goal at the Huskies 5.
Benkert was then run up the middle on a quarterback draw for a gain of two, bringing up fourth down and a scramble drill to get Furbank onto the field.
The newcomer to the sport was still lining up his spot when the ball was snapped as the clock ran out, and his kick sailed well wide left.
UConn (2-1) took its first lead of the game with 1:33 to go on a Bobby Puyol 43-yard field goal.
The Cavs (0-3) had led all the way to that point, getting on the board with a 23-yard field goal by Alex Furbank in the first quarter, then upping their lead to 10-0 two minutes into the second quarter on a nine-yard scoring run by Albert Reid.
UConn chipped away at it from there, getting on the board on a 21-yard Puyol field goal to go into the half down 10-3.
The Huskies tied the game with 7:55 to go on a 1-yard Bryan Shirreffs TD run that came after a Kurt Benkert pass was intercepted deep in UVA territory.
Reid was stuffed on a fourth-and-short run just outside the UConn red zone. The Huskies then took the ball down the field to set up the game-winning Puyol kick with 1:33 to go.
Benkert was 23-for-42 passing for 241 yards. Reid ran for 73 yards on 15 carries, and Taquan Mizzell gained 66 yards on 11 rushes.

'Transcontinental' is a medium green, medium tex-tured, aggressive, low growing cultivar with improved heat and drought tolerance. 'Yukon' is a dark green cultivar with high shoot den Bermudagrasses have very poor shade tolerance and should not be grown underneath tree canopies or building overhangs. They spread very rapidly by both above- (stolons) and below- (rhizomes) ground runners that are very difficult to control within flowerbeds, walks and borders TifTuf ™ Bermudagrass was developed with this challenge in mind. This fine-textured, green leaf beauty uses 38% less water than similar grass cultivars and still looks great. And just as important, TifTuf Bermudagrass has a high shade tolerance. When cooler autumn temperatures arrive, it stays greener further into the season Celebration even beats out the University of Georgia's latest bermudagrass release TifGrand TM, which was selected specifically for its shade tolerance. In the hunt for bermuda shade tolerance, university research has put these grasses to the test. Clemson University did a two year shade study of 42 bermudagrass cultivars in 2007 . Augustinegrass are warm-season grasses. Tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass are cool-season grasses. Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is commonly used in shady areas in Oklahoma lawns due to its superior shade tolerance compared to warm-season grasses, and its relative heat and drought tolerance when compared with other cool.
This Bermuda turf grass seed is a synthetic variety produced by the inter-crossing of five parental plants that were selected in 1990 from a cold hardy study, based on high turf quality - making it the most cold tolerant Bermudagrass. Yukon is the most dramatic improvement in seeded Bermudagrass varieties to date Seeded hybrids, such as Bermuda grass Princess-77 (Cynodon dactylon 'Princess 77') and Bermuda grass Yukon (Cynodon dactylon 'Yukon') showed similar wear tolerance when compared to vegetative.. Shade Tolerance: Turfgrasses vary widely in their shade tolerance. Yukon Bermuda Grass is a seeded turf type bermuda grass is the best choice for turf managers who need a seeded bermuda grass, no matter what bermuda growing zone they are in, world-wide! Developed by the Oklahoma State University Turf grass Research Team, in conjunction with.
Improving shade resistance in bermudagrass. Superintendents know that bermudagrass is an important turfgrass on most golf courses in the South. It has excellent fine-turf characteristics that make it a popular grass for use on fairways, tees, roughs and putting greens. Bermudagrass has relatively good pest resistance, excellent recuperative. Bermuda grass performs well in the more southern area of the transition zone; Yukon Bermuda grass and Riviera Bermuda grass are perennial in most parts of the transition zone. It will turn a brown color when it goes dormant in the winter since it is not as cold-tolerant as Zoysia grass varieties Bermudagrass will typically turn brown after the first frost. Depending on the sport, this may leave the field with poor color and poor recovery potential during critical parts of the season. Dormant bermudagrass may have good traction, but it will not be able to recover from damage while dormant. Overseeding a cool-season turfgrass such as perennial ryegrass is an option to improve fall and spring performance of bermudagrass athletic fields Most types of Bermuda are generally low maintenance, tolerant to foot traffic & shade, and are relatively fast spreading. Bermuda grass comes in several varieties with specific purposes, ranging from roadsides to lawns to sports fields. Read on, and let us help you discover which type of Bermuda grass is best for you and your lawn Mohawk Bermudagrass Advantage - Cold Tolerant - Salt Tolerant Mohawk has increased turf density combined with medium fine texture and dark green color. Its turf density is similar to Sultan and its leaf texture is much finer than NuMex SAHARA. Since 1993, Mohawk has delivered improved turf performance and cold tolerance in Virginia trials
Bermuda grass prefers well-drained sites, and sandy soil sure is that. Bermuda is an aggressive-growing dense, dark green grass. It can survive both periods of low rainfall and flooding. Unlike Zoysia, Bermuda doesn't do well at all in the shade • Shade tolerance • Drought tolerance • Traffic tolerance BLACKJACK Bermudagrass should be planted on well drained soil with full sun light. Soil temperatures should be 65F or higher. The seeding rate should be 2-3 Lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. #1 in Shade Tolerance. In tests that measured evapotranspiration rates (mm d-1) under non-limiting soil moisture conditions in Oklahoma (Amgain et al., 2018), Tahoma 31 fared best, while TifTuf used the most water. Overall, Tahoma 31 used 18% less water than TifTuf This Bermudagrass has a bluish green color, a soft texture, a dense turf that competes against weeds, good drought tolerance, and is the one Bermuda that has been shown to be more tolerant to shade vs other Cultivars. Cons: High maintenance as are all Bermudagrases requiring more frequent mowing, weed eating garden edges and driveways etc
The seeded varieties of Riviera and Yukon were some of OSU's early turfgrass products before a newer version named Patriot debuted in the mid-2000s. Patriot, a clonal variety, demonstrated higher levels of cold tolerance along with good grass recovery, an ideal trait for sports that are tough on the turf bed such as football ance field experiments indicate 'Yukon' bermuda-grass also has improved spring dead spot disease tolerance (Table 1) (7). 'Yukon' bermudagrass was a top performer among seed-propagated entries in the 1992-1997 and 2002-2007 Bermudagrass Trials in the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) (8, 9). Its high turf quality wa Bermuda grass is the best option for sandy soils, as this grass prefers well-drained areas. This aggressive-growing grass looks like a dense, dark green carpet that covers your garden. It will easily survive both low rainfall and flooding seasons. However, Bermuda grass does not do well in the shade, as it needs a lot of sunlight . Relative cultivar shade tolerance of bermudagrass and zoysiagrass for Oklahoma lawns1. 1 Rankings are relative among selected bermudagrass and zoysiagrass cultivars only. Figure 2. Shade-tolerant turfgrasses can be success-fully grown in partial shade when proper management practices are applied With its excellent winter survival and cold tolerance, Yukon bermuda grass seed becomes a stand-alone choice for transition zone plantings. Note that Bermuda grass is a very aggressive grass. It spreads rapidly, tolerates shade well, and can come up on the other side of a 12-inch deep barrier

Challenges Low shade tolerance Shade stress caused an average 26% decline in turf quality (TQ) and a 7.7% decline in normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in 2014 (Table 1). Latitude36 and NorthBridge were the top ranked bermudagrasses in both the severe shade and full sun plots. OKS2011-1 was visually ranked in the top five including Yukon in the severe shade plots When purchasing Bermuda seed, one thing to consider is your location. If you're in the northern part of the south, then Princess may not work well for you. Princess does not tolerate colder winters as well as other varieties. Yukon may be a better choice. However, for more southern locations, Princess produces an incredible lawn Yukon Bermuda Grass was developed from five parental plants chosen for their cold hardiness and high turf quality. It can compete with Zoysia for staying green longer before dormancy. Riviera Bermuda Grass is the result of many years of selective breeding for improved turf quality, cold tolerance, and disease resistance
It has good heat-, cold- drought- and wear-tolerance, and poor shade tolerance. Bermuda grass can be started from sod, sprigs, plugs and seed (1 to 2 pounds per 1,000 square feet) Shade tolerant. Fast establishment, but slow growth. Excellent wear tolerance. Bermudagrass Establishment in 14 to 21 days in spring to summer transition zone South. Yukon - Most cold tolerant and Spring Dead Spot resistant bermuda. Short internodes for high density. Early spring green-up. Drought tolerant. 25
Drought: Bermudagrass has excellent tolerance to drought and heat (Beard 1973, Wallner et al. 1982, Wiecko 2008) owing in part to a deep and extensive root system (Carrow 1996, Qian et al. 1997, Brede 2002). However, substantial variation among cultivars has been documented for dehydration avoidance, drought tolerance, and wate Bermuda grass flourishes in sites with full, direct sun and good drainage. It has superior heat, salt and humidity tolerance and, unlike Centipede grass, is very drought tolerant, too. Though the majority of Bermuda's roots stay within 6 inches of the surface, they can reach 6 feet or more in depth. 1. This extensive root system provides more. SHADE TOLERANCE: Very good performance in areas up to 70% shade. Requires 30% filtered or direct sunlight. Will gradually thin out in areas of total shade.

Combine with grass for lo This varietal's level of hardiness and tolerance to cold are being improved constantly through developing hybrids like the Yukon Bermuda Grass Seed. The level of maintenance Bermuda grass requires depends on how much sun it gets, what kind of soil it's planted in, the slope of the land itself and other factors, but for most residential.

SUM. When touched in the heat of the day, the flowers shrivel If your in doubt, spray 'round up' on the rye- a few days before you scalp. 'Yukon' is one of the tighter growing seeded types, but i am not sure of its shade tolerance. 'Yuma' is not quite as tight, but still attractive and has suprising shade tolerance (but not dense shade) Other experts recommend using the most cold tolerant warm season grasses such as Yukon Bermuda Grass, Riviera Bermuda Grass and Zoysia Grass. A mixture or blend of grass types is often used in the transition zone, especially in the most northern areas, these grass seed mixtures are usually comprised of tall fescue grass and bluegrass or a blend. Fig. 2. Yukon Bermuda, seeded in the summer of 2017 by Kevin Fateley at Wildcat Creek Golf and Fitness in Manhattan, KS showed very good recovery in May and almost no winter injury. Fortunately, it has been a great summer for recovery. High temperatures above 100 F and lows in the mid 70s speed the growth and spread of bermuda
#1: Bermuda. Like most grasses present in the United States, Bermuda grass isn't native to the U.S. And despite what its name implies, it's not native to Bermuda! It originates from East Africa, arriving in the states during the 1750s as a forage grass for cattle. Because of its hardiness, bermudagrass is a favorite in the southwestern U.S Bermuda grass grows well in the South and is commonly found on golf courses because it tolerates low mowing and foot traffic. This means it'll also stand up to kids and pets for a season of plush beauty. To maintain its thick, dense texture, a good amount of fertilization and watering is required. A perennial grass, Bermuda turns brown in the. Good quality Bermuda turfgrass with excellent color and superior early spring green-up.

Yukon is a dense, dark green, drought-tolerant cultivar. Growing Conditions for Bermudagrass. While bermudagrass is tolerant of various soil types, it does best in well-drained soils with a pH between 6 and 7. Full sun is required for optimum growth
Southern winter overseed choice for bermuda greens. Northern turf mixes, adds shade tolerance arkhorse - Dark color, shade and wet tolerance, and quick germination for establishment. Racehorse (PTC-98) - Darker color, great in deep shade and Sabre 3 - Quick germination, dark green color, fine leaf texture shade tolerant, while TifSport and TifEagle bermudagrass showed least shade tolerance. In a similar study, Jiang et al. (2005) also noted greater shade tolerance of Sea Isle 1 compared to TifSport bermudagrass. Gaussoin et al. (1988) noted the diversity of 32 bermudagrass cultivars under 90% uninterrupted shade

tolerance concerns. No guarantees can be made regarding any bermudagrass cultivar's winter survival in the transition zone, as damage to any cultivar is possible in an extreme winter. Category I - Recommended vegetatively propagated bermudagrass varieties: Celebration#, Latitude 36 Bermuda is pretty thin where it receives the least amount of sun at my house. The only way to fix that is to plant more shade tolerant grass like zoysia palisades or even zorro would blend in better with bermuda. It will take years for zoysia grass to fill in though
Give up the fescue and switch to a warm-season grass like Bermuda, Zoysia or Centipede. By Kathy Van Mullekom. Riviera, Sovereign, and Yukon all have improved cold tolerance, a factor that can. WHERE: Bermuda grass seed should only be planted in full sun areas, preferably on well drained soils. It is not very tolerant of shade and areas less that 70% full sun, will often thin out Bermuda stands. Proper soil preparation and adequate drainage is a necessity for successful healthy turf. Should I cover the seeds after planting? Yes. wear-tolerant grass where heavy traffic is expected. Take into consider ation the amount of time, effort and money you are willing to spend for turfgrass maintenance. Because quality turfgrass requires irrigation and a minimum amount of sunlight, shade and lack of water are often the primary limiting factors for home lawns. Other environmenta Most sod is not shade-tolerant: But if you're getting Bermuda sod, it doesn't matter since Bermuda needs full sun to survive and thrive on your property.

The Best Drought Resistant Grass for Dryer Climates. Pennington One Step Complete Sun & Shade is (in our opinion) one of the best drought resistant grass seed for dryer climates. Areas that suffer from drought conditions, or are restricted with water conservation laws, will still be able to grow grass with this mix Cold tolerant Bermuda grasses (Yukon, Mohawk, USALawns) are also used in this area with overseeding of these grasses once established with Perennial Ryegrass. Tall Fescues while drought hardy, must be overseeded with additional Tall Fescue seed on an annual or bi-annual basis to maintain density
Wrangler bermudagrass is an improved, seeded forage-type bermudagrass with superior cold tolerance. Developed by Johnston Seed Company using breeding lines licensed by Oklahoma State University. Wrangler is the most widely planted, true cold tolerant seeded forage bermudagrass in the United States. Released in 1999, Wrangler has proven itself. However, it is too late to plant this year. If we get a hard freeze, the bermuda that sprouted will not survive (ask me how I know). Sod is a much better idea. 419 (AKA Tiway II) is cheap in Atlanta. Usually $75-80 per pallet. It does not tolerate shade, though. If you have any shade you can now get TifGrand Bermuda at roughly $160 per pallet Bermudagrass may struggle in moderate to dense shade, so you should consider species such as St. Augustinegrass or zoysiagrass for areas where shade is a concern. Among bermudagrasses, Celebration and TifGrand are two varieties that have improved shade tolerance and may perform adequately in moderate shade finer texturedthan common bermuda (Cynodon dactylon)and must be startedfrom sod, sprigs or plugs.

Shone Avenue to Smiths Lane
Trunk Drainage: Cadifern are progressing well with the trunk drainage. While the rain on Sunday and Monday caused some delays, we're expecting work to get back on track tomorrow once the site has dried out. You may have seen yesterday's large delivery of pipes, which will soon be in the ground.
New layout of temporary road: Another council crew will be starting this week at the culverts near Shone Avenue. They'll be working to adjust the temporary road alignment on the northern side. The new layout will allow us to maintain two-way access into Wongawilli during construction of drainage crossings and finalising the culvert installation. This work will progress over the next couple of weeks. We'll let you know when the road will be switching over to the new layout.
Jersey Farm Road to Smith Lane
Our crews are progressing well with the construction of the shared path on the northern side of the road. They'll be finishing this up by the end of next week. We'll be coming back later to construct the retaining walls required for the shared path and will work with individual property owners on this. As soon as the shared path is complete, our crews will move across to reconstruct the pavement at Jersey Farm Road. | 55public_administration

Tlayuda is like a Mexican version of the pizza or calzone. It’s smothered in refried beans, with additional toppings such as chorizo, tasajo (beef), shredded chicken, cecina (pork), asiento (Pork lard), chicharron (fried pork rinds), lettuce, avocado, tomato, Oaxaca cheese (the Mexican version of string cheese), and salsa. However, there are no hard-and-fast rules about the toppings. And you can eat your tlayuda open faced or folded in half, almost like an empanada or Italian calzone.
Oaxaca cheese is very similar to mozzarella. It has a mild, buttery flavour. You can substitute with mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese. | 22food

The forecast shows it moving to the NW into western Cuba & then into SE Gulf of Mexico early next week. Forecast models are showing some development with this and moving into the Gulf of Mexico.
Right now it is too soon to say where the moisture from this system will end up, but there will be a strong cold front moving across the Gulf by the end of next week. The setup will draw the moisture and the system toward the northern Gulf Coast, but the timing of the cold front could deflect it eastward away from Louisiana, but the timing has to be right. Needless to say, we will be keeping a close eye on how this evolves over the weekend and next week. If it does bring impacts to the area it would be around Wednesday.

By Steve Lueker, NewOak
On March 7, 2016, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced that it is accepting complaints from consumers “encountering problems with loans from online marketplace lenders.” Marketplace lending is often referred to as “peer-to-peer” or “platform” lending, and refers to the use of an online interface to connect borrowers (e.g., consumers or businesses) with loans, which are sourced from investment proceeds through the online lender.
As banks faced heavy regulation post-Great Recession, lending dried up ( literally to the point where Ben Bernanke could not refinance his home), which created a vacuum for non-bank lenders. The result has been the proliferation of online lending. Consumer protection laws (both federal and state) apply to marketplace lending, and the CFPB wants to ensure that these marketplace vendors are complying with the laws and consumers are “adequately informed and understand what they are signing up for.” Some of the entrepreneurs who are starting marketplace lending businesses have little or no banking experience, but rather have backgrounds in technology startups. This creates potential for a volatile mix as these startup companies are rapidly indoctrinated into the complexity of consumer regulations.
The announcement can be found here: http://1.usa.gov/1U8gEK5
To submit a complaint, consumers can:
- Go online at www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint
- Call the toll-free phone number at 1-855-411-CFPB (2372) or TTY/TDD phone number at 1-855-729-CFPB (2372)
- Fax the CFPB at 1-855-237-2392

The DMA implements a hybrid descriptor to support descriptor storage in two formats.
•Hybrid (multiple linear buffer descriptor arrays chained as a linked list)
Software can make use of a hybrid descriptor to dynamically switch between linear and linked-list mode. The hybrid descriptor approach allows the DMA driver software to arrange descriptors in a contiguous array of BDs, or a linked list of BDs, or a mixed mode wherein contiguous arrays of BDs can be chained together to create a linked list of BD arrays. This approach allows the driver software to be designed in a manner wherein BDs can be allocated at initialization or in real time (and chained to a preceding BD). In applications where contiguous sets of memory are easily available, the software driver might not be able to manage a link list for descriptor storage. In this case, the descriptor can be stored in a linear array.
To support previously described cases, the DMA implements a hybrid descriptor. Each descriptor on the SRC and DST side implements a bit descriptor-element type, which indicates the type of the current descriptor. This allows software to switch between a linear and a link-list scheme dynamically. This Figure shows supported descriptor modes. | 12communication_engineering

Are you considering joining the 53% of Tweed Heads residents who have installed solar systems on their homes? Installing solar panels on your home is a great way to reduce your energy bills and your carbon footprint. However, many homeowners worry that solar panels will look unsightly and detract from their home’s curb appeal. The good news is there are several ways to make your solar panels blend in and match the look of your home. As installers of solar in Tweed Heads, we outline several strategies for maintaining your home’s aesthetics when installing a solar system.
Select a Low-Profile Panel
One way to make your solar panels blend in is to choose a low-profile, streamlined model. Many solar panels today are slim and sleek with panel depths, including the modern panels installed by Auswell Energy. Compared to older and bulkier panels, these thin models lie flatter on the roof, reducing protrusion and making them less visibly obtrusive.
Arrange Panels for Visual Appeal
When arranging your installation for solar in Tweed Heads, you’ll want to align the edges and distribute them evenly for the best aesthetic result. Here are some tips…
- Align the edges of the panels so they form straight lines and rectangles. Having them properly aligned makes them look neater and more cohesive.
- Distribute the panels evenly, with equal spacing between each panel. You don’t want some areas with tightly packed panels and other areas with big gaps.
- Arrange the panels to follow the lines and geometry of your roof. If you have a sloped A-frame roof, arrange the panels to align with the roof edges.
- On a flat roof, you can arrange the panels in whatever layout you prefer. A checkerboard pattern often looks good.
- Avoid random or haphazard placement of the panels. Take the time to step back and ensure the overall arrangement is balanced and orderly.
An organised, balanced layout is key for optimal aesthetics. It can be helpful to discuss panel arrangement with a qualified solar installer to determine the best option for your home.
START SAVING WITH SOLAR
Clean Panels Regularly
Regularly cleaning your solar panels is crucial not only for maximising energy production but also for maintaining your home’s visual appeal post-installation. By implementing a routine cleaning schedule, you can ensure that your solar panels remain clear of any obstructions, allowing them to absorb maximum sunlight and maintain their sleek appearance. Clean panels not only function more effectively but also contribute to the overall curb appeal of your home, enhancing its attractiveness and value.
Installing solar panels on your home can initially seem at odds with your home’s aesthetics.

A US initiative to get cars talking to each other could lead to a dramatic fall in road accidents.
The US Department of Transport's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has said that it is considering making vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) technology compulsory on US roads, confirming previous claims that it was aiming to make this happen as soon as 2017.
The NHTSA believes such technologies will make roads much safer, at the cost of around $350 per vehicle. "Safety is our top priority," said US Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, who believes V2V could help drivers avoid up to 80 percent of accidents.
The principle is simple enough: Cars equipped with V2V technology are capable of maintaining constant communication with nearby vehicles using short-range radio signals. They send and receive this information ten times per second, sharing data on speed, proximity, car signaling and potentially threatening obstacles they find.
The notion is that drivers (or the cars themselves, if they are autonomous) can be kept out of trouble by their own car.
The NHTSA is particularly keen on two key applications of V2V technology, Left Turn Assist (LTA) and Intersection Movement Assist (IMA). It says these two measures alone could prevent over half a billion accidents and save 1,083 US lives each year, as revealed in its extensive report.
These technologies are designed to prevent collisions at intersections by warning drivers about what other vehicles may be doing, such as running a red light at an intersection or accelerating past a driver's blind spot.
"By warning drivers of imminent danger, V2V technology has the potential to dramatically improve highway safety," said NHTSA Deputy Administrator David Friedman.
Car manufacturer Volvo has listed several additional situations in which V2V could be useful, including:
· Emergency vehicle warnings
· Road works warning
· Communication with slow or broken-down vehicles
· Prior notice of traffic jams
· Weather data from cars further up the road
What's in the way of implementation is the need for an agreed set of standards. European auto manufacturer members of the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium are already working to agree a set of standards and shared technologies for V2V by 2016. US manufacturers are driving in the same direction with the Connected Vehicle Safety Pilot Model Deployment Program, which is blessed by the NHTSA.
While the US system described in the latest report is based on short-range radio, it seems probable that cellular services may also play some part, assuming data sharing deals and protocols to manage message congestion can be achieved. In the event V2V systems remain confined to short distance radio M2M implementations, they will continue to gather information that can be applied within the wider connected car industry.
This could have huge implications on road transit management, making it possible to identify dangerous patches of road, congestion and other common problems, with the added granular insight gathered from information as detailed as anonymised driver behaviors at a certain point over time.
The NHTSA isn't unique in championing the potential of connected vehicles. The ITU has also been exploring such implementations for some years, while the EU's eCall law means all new European cars sold will be connected starting in 2015. (More on this: M2M: The business case for connected cars).
The safety features will be attractive to most drivers, but privacy is important too. In the US at least the agency says the information shared by vehicles will not identify the cars or drivers, and that the system used will comprise several layers of security protection to maintain privacy and ensure vehicles can rely on the information they share and receive.
The report also discusses ways in which such systems may help relieve city congestion. That's not such a bad idea when you consider that in 2010, urban Americans wasted 4.8 billion hours and 1.9 billion gallons of fuel in congestion, or INRIX' claim that UK drivers spend up to three days each year in traffic jams.
In all these cases the implications and potential implementations for autonomous transportation are also remarkable: self-driving vehicles will be capable of intelligently taking themselves from distribution centre to retail outlets, and, unlike human haulage drivers, will be able to work 24/7. Rather like those drones being developed at Amazon.

August 30, 2021
The Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Walter Kiefer as the associate director of the LPI, effective August 24, 2021. Kiefer will fill the role previously held by Dr. Allan Treiman, who served as associate director since November 2016.
As associate director, Kiefer will work closely with LPI scientists as a supervisor and mentor, provide management support for the director, continue to provide scientific oversight for the annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, assist with planning of new research and initiatives, and lead projects that support LPI internal and external goals.
“Walter brings much-needed skills in planetary science, mentoring, and management to LPI when we are actively preparing for future missions and research,” says LPI Director Dr. Lisa Gaddis. “With his help, I am confident that we will continue our excellent program of research and our service to NASA and the planetary science community.”
Kiefer’s research focuses on the internal structure and evolution of the terrestrial planets and large icy satellites. One major area of interest is the thermal evolution of planets. His studies of mantle convection and tectonic features on Venus focus on understanding its apparent evolution from an Earth-like body with mobile lid convection in the past to a planet with a mostly stagnant surface at present, a transition which was likely caused by loss of liquid surface water. Other projects include studies of core formation and the early thermal evolution of asteroid 4 Vesta, modeling mantle plume volcanism on Mars, and simulations of mantle convection on Io driven by tidal heating.
Kiefer is a Co-Investigator for the Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble Gases, Chemistry, and Imaging (DAVINCI) mission, which will explore Venus in the late 2020s as part of NASA’s Discovery Program. He will lead studies of the rate of volcanic outgassing on Venus using mass spectrometer data and studies of the tectonics of the Alpha Regio landing site using descent imaging. In addition, he was a member of the Science Study Team that defined EnVision, a joint European Space Agency/NASA orbital remote sensing mission to Venus. Kiefer is also a Co-Investigator on the Gravity and Radio Science team for the Europa Clipper mission, focusing on determining local and regional structure in Europa’s ice shell. He was previously a member of the science team for NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission, which used high-resolution mapping of the Moon’s gravity field to determine the structure of the Moon’s crust and deep interior.
Treiman will remain at the LPI as a principal scientist. “Allan has made many scientific contributions to the LPI and we have benefitted greatly from his expert guidance and stewardship over the past few years. As he returns to his own very active and successful program of research, he remains an important contributor to our program,” notes Gaddis. | 52physics

According to health experts and international safety standards, HDPE is a low-hazard material.
It has a very low risk of leaching its chemical compounds into water, thus making it safe.
It can also ward off the growth of bacteria, thus increasing the safety of the product.
On top of that, HDPE is not affected by UV rays from the sun, or heat thus making it safe.
In most cases, you should consider using HDPE materials such as bottles once before recycling the bottles.
This will increase the levels of safety and reduce the possibility of harmful chemical materials from leaching.
Are HDPE Materials Free Of BPA?
No, HDPE is not free of BPA.
BPA is the chemical substance that you will add to other ingredients making HDPE.
Since it is a very important chemical in the manufacturing process, you should expect it in HDPE.
Despite having small traces of BPA, the FDA approves of using HDPE in various applications because it is safe.
You should, however, avoid using the HDPE materials exhaustively as that increases the chances of having negative BPA effects.
Why Are HDPE Bottles Dangerous Or Harmful To Aquatic Life?
HDPE is a low-hazard plastic material especially for human use but very dangerous for aquatic life.
HDPE has nonylphenol chemicals that leach into water and cause great harm to aquatic life.
Nonylphenol is an endocrine disruptor that will affect the endocrine system of aquatic living organisms.
It is the reason why you need to avoid throwing HDPE materials into the water.
Can You Recycle HDPE?
Yes, you can recycle HDPE materials instead of throwing them away since they are non-biodegradable.
HDPE is also a very simple material to recycle, thus giving you an easy time to collect and supply to recycling plants.
You should pay attention to the resin code details on the HDPE before deciding on the mode of recycling.
How Do You Recycle HDPE?
There are different ways which you can employ in the recycling of HDPE.
You can either decide to recycle through the industrial process or recycle HDPE at home.
Here are some of the steps involved in the recycling process of HDPE Materials.
1) Separating HDPE From Other Plastic Materials
First, you will begin the whole recycling process by sorting the plastic into different categories before cleaning.
After that, you will proceed with the homogenization of the plastic to allow you to process HDPE products alone.
You can use the sink float separation method to separate HDPE plastic from other types of plastic before recycling.
Apart from that, you will use the near-infrared method to separate HDPE from PP plastic.
2) Shredding And Melting
You will proceed with shredding and then melting the DDPE to refine it further.
As soon as that is complete, you will cool the HDPE plastic materials into pellets that come in handy manufacturing.
3) Reusing The HDPE Products
In addition to industrial recycling, you can also recycle the HDPE materials at home by simply washing the bottles.
However, you must use proper soap and water to clean the HDPE materials before reusing them in other applications.
On top of that, you can reuse the packaging bags made of HDPE materials for shopping and other uses.
After long periods of use, you will dispose of the plastic bags at collection points for the different recycling processes.
Finally, you have to pay attention to the resin code, separating HDPE materials for different recycling options.
What Is The Difference Between HDPE And PVC?
You may also have a difficult time choosing between the PVC materials and the HDPE materials.
There is a great debate on the most suitable type of pipe for use in different applications.
The following is a comparison between the HDPE materials and PVC material to inform your decisions.
Similarities Between HDPE Materials And PVC Materials
You should note that the PVC materials and HDPE materials have common characteristics.
Some of the characteristics that you will identify between HDPE and PVC are:
- Both HDPE materials and PVC materials are light in weight
- In addition to that, both types of plastic are corrosion-proof
- The materials are also safe as they resist bacteriological and chemical buildup
- On top of that, HDPE and PVC are highly durable, with a high life expectancy
Differences Between HDPE Materials And PVC Materials
Despite being durable, PVC materials are vinyl polymers, making them less durable than HDPE materials.
In other words, HDPE is a thermoplastic petroleum product that can survive different environmental stresses.
Apart from durability, you can also compare HDPE and PVC based on joining.
In joining PVC materials, you must use joining glue or gasket to help place different PVC parts together.
On the flip side, you will use heat fusion as the most appropriate joining HDPE materials.
When it comes to installing PVC materials, you can use drop burial and open trench installation modes.
On the other hand, you will use an Open trench, directional bore, horizontal bore, and drop burial installation methods.
How Do You Join HDPE?
Joining HDPE materials may be a very daunting task without proper heating systems.
In other words, you have to heat HDPE materials to enhance the joining process of different parts.
In this case, you will begin the joining process bypassing the end you would like to join over a fire.
After that, you will fix that part to an adjacent end that can go over or into the HDPE materials.
As soon as the parts are joined together, the materials will cool down as HDPE sticks permanently.
For pipes, threads guarantee a perfect joint.
Are HDPE Materials Waterproof?
Yes, HDPE material is waterproof and does not allow the entry or exit of water through its walls.
Due to the waterproof nature of HDPE, you can use it in different applications to prevent the entry and exit of liquid products.
You can use it to make containers that do not leak and do not allow other liquids’ entry through the materials.
It is also suitable for waterproofing, especially in buildings, and protects or insulates the building from root intrusion.
What Is The Difference Between HDPE and LDPE?
You can say that there is not much difference and similarities between HDPE materials and LDPE materials.
One of the greatest differences between the HDPE and LDPE materials is in the density of the materials.
Just from the name, you can tell that HDPE or high-density Polyethylene has a higher density than the LDPE.
In addition to that, LDPE has a better internal structure that increases the intermolecular forces and overall tensile strength.
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is also more rigid in comparison to low-density polyethylene under similar dimensions.
On top of that, you will note that high-density polyethylene has better flexibility than low-density polyethylene.
How Does HDPE And Polycarbonate Compare?
Poly carbonate materials have very high levels of impact resistance in comparison to high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
To imply that high-density polyethylene (HDPE) has less resistance on impact in comparison to polycarbonates.
Apart from impact resistance, you will note that the polycarbonates are heavier than the high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
You will have an easy time when it comes to molding and shaping HDPE than polycarbonates.
Polycarbonates do not repel any graffiti, thus making it a bit complicated to clean and maintain.
On the flip side, HDPE is very easy to clean and maintain since it is scratch and graffiti-resistant.
Just like the polycarbonates, you will realize that high-density polyethylene has extreme resistance to acids, bases, and alcohol.
How Does Acrylic Material Compare to HDPE Material?
Among the numerous materials, you can either choose to use acrylic material or HDPE materials depending on application specifications.
To have the right type of material for your applications, you have to know specific details about the materials.
The following is a comparison between HDPE materials and acrylic materials.
- Property Value Comparison
|WATER ABSORPTION RATE||0.2||0.1|
|Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion||4||7|
You can note that the water absorption rate in both materials is low, with HDPE having the lowest value.
When it comes to tensile strength, acrylic has a higher tensile strength of 10,000 compared to 4000 for HDPE.
Apart from that, acrylic also has a higher flexural modulus of 480,000 compared to 200,000 for HDPE.
On top of that, HDPE has a higher coefficient of linear thermal expansion than acrylic.
When it comes to the applications of acrylic and HDPE, you will base your choice on the properties of both materials.
You can use acrylic materials in different applications such as glazing applications, machine guards, signs, transparent manifolds, and skylights.
On the other hand, you will use HDPE on applications such as manufacturing arena boards, piping systems, and ballistic plates.
Despite the above differences, you will also note that acrylic and HDPE have great machinability and are incredibly durable.
Apart from that, these materials can withstand very high temperatures making them suitable for high-temperature applications.
Is HDPE Resistant To Scratches?
Yes, HDPE materials are resistant to scratches due to the strength of the material.
Usually, when planning for renovations and replacement of parts, you would consider leaving HDPE out.
It is a very strong material that may not scratch very easily, withstand more pressure, and require minimal maintenance.
It will not rust like metal, and hence no need to apply fresh paint or surface treatment to protect against scratches.
How Long Does HDPE Last?
Well, you will have to wait for a very long time to either replace HDPE materials or for them to decompose.
In other words, HDPE is highly durable and will serve you for a very long time before you experience damages.
Apart from that, the rate of HDPE decomposition and damage will depend on the environmental conditions and maintenance mode.
Depending on the thickness of HDPE, you will use HDPE for slightly less than 100 years before it becomes obsolete.
What Is The Best Method Of Disposing HDPE?
After using high-density polyethylene for a long time, it may be time to eliminate it.
Due to the non-biodegradable nature of HDPE, you have to be very careful when it comes to disposing of it.
There are different ways that you can employ to get rid of high-density polyethylene materials successfully.
Here are the three most common ways of disposing of high-density polyethylene materials.
Burning Or Thermal Treatment
You can dispose of the high-density polyethylene materials by simply burning them or through thermal treatment.
This mode of disposal is dangerous because HDPE produces harmful gasses in the air, such as carbon monoxide, which causes health problems.
You can also eliminate the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) materials by simply throwing them in a landfill.
The landfill will allow HDPE materials to degrade naturally without any form of assistance over time.
You can dispose of HDPE through the most environmentally friendly mode by simply reusing it to reduce landfills and chemical release.
There are different modes of recycling HDPE that you can employ, thus allowing you to reuse and avoid environmental pollution.
Do You Have Specific Colors For HDPE?
Well, you have the chance to choose any color that suits you for the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) materials.
Despite having that freedom, you can also decide to use the available color scheme of the HDPE materials.
Here is a list of the different colors available for high-density polyethylene products.
This is a completely black material with no strips on them that you can use for different applications other than fuel gas.
This is a special type of HDPE pipe with black color and blue strips to transport drinking water.
You can either use the yellow pipe or the black pipe with yellow stripes to transport process gasses and fuel gasses.
This pipe has a black color with stripes of red that you can use to transport water, especially for fire-dedicated lines.
This type of HDPE material is white and is best for covering wires and cables for communication purposes.
Recycle – Tech
You can also opt for the black pipe with purple lines to indicate that the pipe is a reclaimed or recycled water pipe.
This is a full orange high-density polyethylene material or pipe that you can use to cover power conduits.
This is a special type of HDPE material with complete white color that you can use above ground as ex-pipelines.
If you have a black pipe with cream stripes, you can use it for applications such as sewer transport.
This is a black pipe with red or brown stripes for rural imperial sizes and very low-pressure applications.
How Does HDPE And MDPE Compare?
Polyethylene materials are available in quite a range of densities, including high density and medium density polyethylene.
Imply that you can either choose to use the high-density polyethylene materials or the medium-density polyethylene materials.
Here are some details that you can use to help make the right choice between medium and high-density polyethylene.
Medium Density Polyethylene
Other than HDPE materials, you can also use MDPE materials depending on the application requirements or specifications.
You will realize that medium density polyethylene has medium opacity in comparison to the darker HDPE.
In addition to that, medium density polyethylene does not have high strength and stretchability compared to HDPE.
MDPE is under recycling code 4 and is best for consumer materials wrapping when it comes to recycling.
You can use high-density polyethylene materials to make materials such as pipes, bottles, and store bags.
The HDPE materials have moderate opacity and a great degree of strength compared to the medium-density polyethylene.
Apart from that, HDPE also has a great propensity to crinkle with a very low stretchability compared to MDPE.
You can identify HDPE under the recycling code 2, with an easy tear, and it can be the best material for grocery bags.
How Does Blow-Molded HDPE Compare To Injection-Molded HDPE?
You can also compare the HDPE materials by looking at the mode of manufacturing or processing the materials.
In this case, you can compare these materials as either being blow-molded HDPE or injection molded HDPE.
Here is a comparison between the blow-molded HDPE and the injection molded HDPE.
Blow Molded High-Density Polyethylene
Blow molding process
You can opt for the blow-molded HDPE, which is manufactured through the blow molding process.
In this case, you will have to melt plastic and then shape the plastic into a preform.
After that, you will use pressurized gas to expand the hot preform before pressing against a mold cavity.
You will use this process to make HDPE containers for packaging milk and detergent containers.
Injection Molded High-Density Polyethylene
Injection-molded HDPE is a special type of HDPEs which you will manufacture through the injection molding process.
The process involves delivering materials into a heated barrel before mixing the materials to form a homogenous product.
After that, you will force the homogenous mixture into a mold and through a mold cavity by applying enough pressure.
The injection mold can either be aluminum or steel and can assume the shape of anything that you need.
It is the best type of HDPE that you can use in the packaging of creamy products such as yogurt and butter.
Do You Have Food Grade HDPE?
Yes, we have food-grade HDPE materials that you can use to manufacture materials for packaging food.
In other words, this type of HDPE does not produce any chemicals that may prove to be dangerous.
Apart from that, you can use it to store food without the worry of chemicals leaching into the food.
Depending on the mode of manufacturing HDPE, you can use both blow-molded or injection molded HDPE for food products.
Apart from that, you can also use colored and natural HDPE to package food products.
Which Physical Properties Best Describe HDPE?
Identification of HDPE materials is very simple, especially with the help of the material physical properties.
Physical properties of HDPE are the attributes of HDPE that you will identify when you apply force.
The following are the main physical properties of HDPE that you should know more about.
You can identify the HDPE materials by looking at the resistance of the material against breaking under tension.
HDPE materials have a tensile strength ranging between 0.20 – 0.40 N/mm²
Notched Impact Strength
You should also look at the notched impact strength, which describes the resistance of HDPE to impact.
When it comes to the notched impact strength of HDPE, you will realize no break Kj/m².
Implying that HDPE does not break easily despite the tension or force applied.
Thermal Coefficient Of expansion
This physical property describes the maximum temperatures that you will need to expand HDPE materials.
In other words, it is a test of how much HDPE can expand when you apply heat.
The thermal Coefficient of expansion pf HDPE is 100 – 220 x 10-6
Max Continuous Use Temperature
You will also look at the maximum temperature at which the HDPE materials can operate without damage.
In HDPE, you should note that the maximum temperature of operation is at 65 degrees centigrade.
You should also look at the degree of compactness of the HDPE materials.
The density, which acts as the main defining factor for HDPE, ranges between 0.944 – 0.965 g/cm3.
Are HDPE Materials Resistant To Chemicals?
Yes, one of the most important attributes of HDPE materials is their resistance to chemicals.
Here is a list of chemicals that will not have any effect on the high-density polyethylene materials.
- Dilute Acid
- Dilute Alkalis
- Oils and Greases
- Aliphatic Hydrocarbons
- Aromatic Hydrocarbons
- Halogenated Hydrocarbons
How Do You Make HDPE?
HDPE is a plastic petroleum product that is very easy to manufacture under the right circumstances.
You will make HDPE products by applying intense heat under controlled conditions on petroleum.
Here are the main steps to follow when manufacturing HDPE materials.
You will begin the whole process with the polymerization of ethylene together with particular types of catalysts.
Apart from the catalyst, you will also use comonomers and hydrogen with ethylene in the polymerization process.
As that happens, heat is produced, which you can cool down using the external heat exchangers on the manufacturing plant.
You will end up with a reacted slurry which you will transfer to the drying or separation unit.
2. Drying Or Separation
You will transfer the slurry to a high-speed centrifuge, separating it into dry powders and solvent materials.
After that, you will supply the reactor with the separated solvent while some of the solvents are recycled.
The refinery process will help in recycling some of the solvents, thus eliminating wastage of products.
Apart from that, you will dry the wet powders using the powder dryer on the manufacturing plant.
3. Extrusion Or Transfer
In this case, you will evaporate the wetness off the wet powders through the evaporation process.
You can also employ steam and nitrogen under very high pressure to help in extrusion and drying.
With the help of a scrubber, you will eliminate the evaporated solvents.
After that, the machine will transfer the dried powders to melt and change them into pellets.
This is the final HDPE product that comes after undergoing all the processes above.
Storage And Packaging
As soon as the HDPE products are cool enough, you will package and store them accordingly.
Which Materials Do You Use To Manufacture HDPE?
The main raw material that you will use to manufacture HDPE materials is petroleum.
You will mix petroleum products with different chemicals and catalysts such as hydrogen and comonomers.
How Much Does HDPE Cost?
Well, numerous factors affect the price of HDPE materials.
One of the most important factors to consider in this case is the dimension of the HDPE.
You will note that the greater the dimensions of HDPE, the higher the amount of money you will pay.
Apart from that, an increase in the quantity of HDPE you purchase leads to an increase in price.
Generally, HDPE materials cost between 0.2 to 10 US dollars per meter.

Dura (Singer, Songwriter, Recording Artist, Producer, School Principal, B.S. Degree-Industrial Technology, https://www.tradebit.com., Degree-Educational Administration, Doctoral Candidate in Administrative Leadership and Supervision.
At the early age of six (6) was when Dura's interest in music began. He played various instruments; the tonet, cornet, and then the trumpet. He played Christmas carols on the trumpet and was so short that he played the songs reading the sheet music from the floor because there was no stand to hold the music up.
Dura's interest in music grew stronger, but he realize it because he was so young. However, his parents were aware of his interest, because of how he would sing along with songs on the radio while riding the car. They were convinced of Dura's singing ability because they noticed the rich quality of his voice at a very young age. At age eleven (11), Dura's mother had him sing at school assembly program. He sang "Sweet Little Jesus Boy." An experience Dura will never forget. His teacher, Mrs. Lowery was pouring in tears, came on stag, hugged him and said, "That's the most beautiful song I ever heard." From that point on Dura was singing in the church and school choirs, assemblies, talent shows and weddings.
When Dura was thirteen (13) he joined a group known as the Symphonics, for which he thanks his sister, Jacquenetta because she knew the leader of the group, Andre' Willis. She told Andre, "I have a brother who sound so much like Michael Jackson of the Jackson 5." Subsequently, Andre's father was the high school choir director. Because of Dura's age and size, he stood out among the other choir members. The criteria was in order to become a member of the high school choir you have to be either a sophomore (10th grade), junior (11th grade), or senior (12th grade). In Dura's case, he was asked to join the choir when he was only in the eighth (8th)grade. Andre' noticed Dura's remarkable talent. Therefore, he asked Dura to join their group.
Considering Dura came from an educational background (mother-college professor, father-principal, college professor), his parents intially disapproved of Dura joining the group, but once they saw the Jackson Five on the Ed Sullivan show they took in consideration Dura's interest, but with restrictions. Rehearsals and performances could only be on weekends; his parents accompanied (chaperoned) if the group performed at nightclubs and homework a priority.
Dura's first stage show with the Symphonics was two (2) performances in one night at the Tuskegee High School Auditorium where he sang, "I'll Be There" by the Jackson Five. The audience went wild!!!! Since then, Dura has been affiliated with enumerated local groups, as well as the Symphonics, The Family, The Images, The Ultimate Force, The Commodores, and even a group named after DURA that was formed by Ronald LaPread of the Commodores. Dura is the kind of individual who felt that there is room for growth and development, so he wanted to learn as much as possible from all aspects (entiities) of music.
At his point in Dura's career, he was limited in touring and extensive traveling because he was in college and wanted to pursue his education. In one particular group, Dura was the only member that was in college. Even though he tried to make accomodations with rehearsals, it still became a conflict. It had gotten to the point where Dura was "triple-fined" on a weekly basis because he went to his classes instead of rehearsals. So as a result, he left the group to continue his college education.
However, Dura's devotion to music did not come to a halt. Throughout his music career (even at an early age) Dura began writing and composing his songs. He had developed a love and talent playing the "Baby Grand Piano" by Steinway & Sons and the Yamaha. He gives recognition to his piano teacher, Ms. Lexine Weeks, who taught Lionel Richie. Between classes, Dura will spend time at Tuskegee Institute Chapel, lock himself in one of the small piano rooms and write his music. He knew one day would come for the world to hear his music.
Another experience Dura had was when he purchased an upright (used)piano on credit. Considering he was still in school and had no source of income, he was delinquent making the payments. One day when Dura went home from school, there were two men waiting at his parents' home to repossess his piano. He rushed to his manager's house, Walter "Clyde" Orange of the Commodores and told him of his dilemma. Clyde gave Dura enough money to pay the entire balance owed on the piano.
During this time, the Commodores were recording their new album entitled, "In the Pocket" at Webb IV Recording Studio in Atlanta, GA. Dura sang background vocals on "Lady, You Bring Me Up." His experience was like taking music seminars. Dura learned by watching, listening and having dialogue with Cal Harris and Richard Wells (Commodores Engineers) from an engineering standpoint and James Carmichael (Commodores Producer) from a production standpoint as well as from the Commodores.
After writing hundreds of songs, Dura felt it was time for him to go into the studio to record and produce a quality product of his own. Initially, Dura was apprehensive, but he realized that he had a wealth of knowledge and experience under his belt. As a result, Dura recorded and produced his new CD entitled, "ONLY YOU."
For the record, Dura has written and composed nearly (500) songs. In the upcoming years, Dura is the artist to watch for. | 2artistic

Once you have installed Cartweaver 4 into your site and gone through the database creation process you are ready to finalize and personalize your installation. This is done in the Cartweaver administration. The admin is located in your new site at (Your Site URL)/cw4/admin. For example for a standard local ColdFusion installation it would be at: http://localhost:8500/YourSiteFolder/cw4/admin or for a standard php local installation it would be at http://localhost/YourSiteFolder/cw4/admin. It first time you log in you will want to log in at the maximum administration level of "developer" so use the default username of: developer and password of: admin.
Be sure to change the default passwords for all levels of admin access right away! On initial installation of your site you will have the default password of "admin" for every level of admin access, since this is the default setting in the install routine, as it is now EVERY developer out there that has used Cartweaver 4 now knows your password. Don't forget to change it!
Here are the primary initial settings that you will ant to set to finish out an personalize your Cartweaver 4 site before you move on to other tasks...
|Main Menu | Submenu||Action|
|Admin Settings > Admin Users||Change the passwords to all the default users. The default user names are the same as the access level assigned to them. You can level these if you like or change the usernames as well. You can also create as many admin users as you like and then assign whatever access level you want each user to have.|
|Store Settings > Company Info||Change the information here to properly reflect the company who's site this is.|
|Site Setup > Email settings||The information here controls how your store emails are sent and what they will say. What you want to focus on now is the SMTP server name, account SMTP username, and account SMTP password. having these fields properly set will allow you to test your e-mail deliver, the other personalizations and settings can be worked on later when you are ready to begin testing them.|
|Site Setup > Global settings||For local development and testing you can just level this information as is, but once uploaded to the server you will need to set the site URL and site secure URL - especially the later, so the SSL will be invoked when a customer goes to check out so the transactions will be secure. The "Directory Settings" are best left in their default settings, unless you are locating your entire store in a sub directory, rather than the root of you site, in such a case you'll want to add the appropriate mapping information in these fields.|
|Site Settings > Debug Settings||For local testing and development you will want to have the "Enable Error Handling" unchecked (disabled) - during development you want to see the full server generated error messages if an error should occur. You'll also want "Enable Debugging" enabled or checked. Once your site is on the server you will want to revers this so your users see friendly error messages rather than the ugly and somewhat scary server generated error messages.|
For now, that's it Your site is personalized and set up. Now you can begin working through the admin to properly populate and configure your store.
Remember, while working in the admin anytime you are wondering what a particular page or field does or controls, keep an eye out for the little "?" icons, either in a field itself or always available in the upper right hand corner of the page. Clicking on these icons with provide you with either in-line tips or take you to the online Cartweaver 4 Help documentation with information about the page you are on. | 13computer_science_and_technology

True crabs make up 20% of all crustaceans caught and farmed worldwide, with about 1.4 million tonnes being consumed annually. The horse crab, Portunus trituberculatus accounts for one quarter of that total. Other important species include flower crabs (Portunus pelagicus), snow crabs (Chionoecetes), blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus), edible or brown crabs (Cancer pagurus), Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister) and mud crabs (Scylla serrata), each of which provides more than 20,000 tonnes annually.
The FAO groups fishery catches using the ISSCAAP classification (International Standard Statistical Classification of Aquatic Animals and Plants). ISSCAAP has a group for crabs and sea-spiders, and another group for king crabs and squat lobsters.
- Crabs and sea-spiders are defined as including "Atlantic rock crab, black stone crab, blue crab, blue swimming crab, dana swimcrab, dungeness crab, edible crab, cazami crab, geryons nei, green crab, hair crab, harbour spidercrab, Indo-Pacific swamp crab, jonah crab, marine crabs nei, Mediterranean shore crab, Pacific rock crab, portunus swimcrabs nei, queen crab, red crab, spinous spider crab, swimcrabs nei, and tanner crabs nei".
The following table summarises crab production from 2000 to 2008, both caught wild and from aquaculture, in tonnes.

reported by the FAO
| Portunus trituberculatus, known as the horse crab, known as the gazami crab or Japanese blue crab, is the most widely fished species of crab in the world, with over 300,000 tonnes being caught annually, 98% of it off the coast of China.
Horse crabs are found from Hokkaidō to South India, throughout Maritime Southeast Asia and south to Australia. In Malay, it is known as ketam bunga or "flower crab". It lives on shallow sandy or muddy bottoms, less than 50 m deep, where it feeds on seaweeds and predates upon small fish, worms and bivalves. The carapace may reach 15 cm (5.9 in) wide, and 7 cm (2 3⁄4 in) from front to back.
| Portunus pelagicus (known as flower crabs, blue crabs, blue swimmer crabs, blue manna crabs or sand crabs) is a large crab found in the intertidal estuaries of the Indian and Pacific Oceans (Asian coasts) and the Middle-Eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The name flower crab is used in east Asian countries while the latter names are used in Australia. The crabs are widely distributed in eastern Africa, Southeast Asia, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
The carapace can be up to 20 cm wide. They stay buried under sand or mud most of the time, particularly during the daytime and winter. The species is commercially important throughout the Indo-Pacific where they may be sold as traditional hard shells, or as "soft shelled" crabs, which are considered a delicacy throughout Asia. The species is highly prized as the meat is almost as sweet as the blue crab, although P. pelagicus is physically much larger.
| Species of Chionoecetes (known as snow crabs, spider crabs, queen crabs and other names) live in the cold waters of the northern Pacific and Atlantic Ocean.
Snow crab are caught as far north as the Arctic Ocean, from Newfoundland to Greenland in the Atlantic Ocean, and across the Pacific Ocean, including the Sea of Japan, the Bering Sea, the Gulf of Alaska, Norton Sound, and even as far south as California for Chionoecetes bairdi. Fishing for opilio (and rarely bairdi) crab has been the focus of the second half of all four seasons of Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel.
| The Chesapeake Bay, located in Maryland and Virginia, is famous for its "blue crabs", Callinectes sapidus. In 1993, the combined harvest of the blue crabs was valued at around 100 million U.S. dollars. Over the years the harvests of the blue crab dropped; in 2000, the combined harvest was around 45 million dollars.
While blue crabs remain a popular food in the Chesapeake Bay area, the Bay is not capable of meeting local demand. Crabs are shipped into the region from North Carolina, Louisiana, Florida and Texas to supplement the local harvest.
| Cancer pagurus, the edible crab or brown crab, is a species found in the North Sea, North Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea. It is a robust crab of a reddish-brown colour, having an oval carapace with a characteristic "pie crust" edge and black tips to the claws. Mature adults may have a carapace width of up to about 25 cm and weigh up to 3 kg.
The edible crab is abundant throughout the northeast Atlantic as far as Norway in the north and northern Africa in the south, on mixed coarse grounds, mud and sand from shallow sublittoral to about 100 m. It is frequently found inhabiting cracks and holes in rocks but occasionally also in open areas. Smaller specimens may be found under rocks in the littoral zone.
Edible crabs are exploited commercially throughout their range. It is illegal to catch crabs of too small a size around the coast of Britain, a conservation measure brought in the 1870s. Crabs with a shell diameter of less than 100 mm should not be taken.
| The Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister) inhabits eelgrass beds and water bottoms from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska to Santa Cruz, California. Its binomial name, Cancer magister, simply means "master crab" in Latin.
They measure as much as 25 cm (9.8 in) in some areas off the coast of Washington, but typically are under 20 cm (7.9 in). They are a popular delicacy, and are the most commercially important crab in the Pacific Northwest, as well as the western states generally.
They are named after Dungeness, Washington, which is located approximately five miles north of Sequim and 15 miles east of Port Angeles. The annual Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival is held in Port Angeles each October.
Dungeness crab have recently been found in the Atlantic Ocean, far from their known range, raising concern about their possible effects on the local wildlife.
|Scylla serrata (known as mud crab, or more ambiguously as mangrove crab or black crab) is an economically important crab species found in the estuaries and mangroves of Africa, Australia and Asia. In their most common form, the shell colour varies from a deep, mottled green to very dark brown. Generally cooked with their shells on, when they moult their shells, they can be served as a seafood delicacy, one of many types of soft shell crab. They are among the tastiest crab species and have a huge demand in South Asian countries where they are often bought alive in the markets. In the northern states of Australia and especially Queensland, mud crabs are relatively common and generally prized above other seafood within the general public.|
|Maja squinado (European spider crabs) are a species of migratory crabs found in the north-east Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea. They are the subject of commercial fishery, with about 5,000 tonnes caught annually, 70% off the coast of France, 10% off the coast of the United Kingdom, 6% from the Channel Islands, 3% from each of Spain and Ireland, 2% from Croatia, 1% from Portugal, and the remainder from Serbia and Montenegro, Denmark and Morocco, although official production figures are open to doubt. The European Union imposes a minimum landing size of 120 mm for M. squinado, and some individual countries have other regulations, such as a ban on landing egg-bearing females in Spain and a closed season in France and the Channel Islands.|

Doctoral Thesis.
The present study was initiated to investigate the Cadmium Concentrations in whole Blood( BCdC) of Northern Sardinian, non-occupationally exposed adult subjects. Two hundred and fortythree adults were selected from subjects who were undergoing blood collection for laboratory analysis and subjected to an interview. Dietary intakes were assessed through food frequency obtained from the EPIC questionnaire. We studied offals, crustaceans, root, vegetables, rice, eggs, fish, citrus fruit, other fruits, milk, olive oil, sweet, yogurt, bread, wine) and nutrients (calcium, zinc, iron, vitamin C and Vitamin D). Whole blood was analysed by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer. The mean value BCdC, expressed as Geometric Mean, was 0.32 μg/l significantly ranging from 0.27 μg/l in non-smokers to 0.34 μg/l in ex-smokers up to 0.47 μg/ in smokers (p<0.0001) and it is lower than levels found in many other regions.. There is a negative correlation between Cadmium and Calcium, Zinc and Vitamin D, while for Iron the negative correlation was not significant. Mean concentration of BCdC in the selected diet food groups, between no smokers and smokers subjects is significant only for offals (p=0.02). These low values may be explained by environmental factors considering that the study was conducted in an area at low risk from industrial cadmium fall-out but in view of the peculiar characteristics of the Sardinian population, other factors may influence BCd levels, like dietary and genetic factors.

I am reading a book by the same name written by Jim Camp, who subtitled it “The Only Negotiating System You Need for Work and Home.” And though the word NO may superficially seem negative, it is one of the most positive things you can do for yourself.
How so, you ask?
Being able to say “NO”, makes you less needy, and if you are less needy then you have more power. Not power in the sense that you can be Queen or King of the world, but power over your life.
Camp says that when he introduces the word NO in his training sessions, he asks participants what it means to them—and their answers are all negative: it means the end, walk away, never return, good-bye, total rejection, it is all over, failure. But in reality he says that by always saying yes, your mindset is both compromised and fear-based.
I have been guilty of not saying NO to things and ending up doing stuff because I was afraid or unable to say NO. NO seems like a dangerous word according to Camp, because “Everyone wants to be liked, and if you say no you’ll be disliked.”
NO is a powerful word. I have provided a very rudimentary and simplistic explanation of something which is neither rudimentary or simplistic, but I have to say that Camp has something here. Think about it the next time you feel pressured into saying yes, and consider NO as an option. | 50philosophy

This past Sunday, she was found dead. Kenosha Police would not comment, but her boyfriend, Roderick L. Smith was arrested later that same day. He has a long history of domestic violence and other violent crime arrests. He was booked on a probation/parole hold. This is commonly done to give prosecutors more time to file charges. In this case, Kenosha DA Mike Graveley has much of his staff working on new motions for Kyle Rittenhouse so he might need the extra time. If Martin is charged for any involvement in his death, we will let you know.
Kenosha Man Who Hanged Himself Passes Away
A Kenosha man was found unresponsive on Tuesday, February 9, 2021 in his Kenosha County Jail cell. He was reported to have hanged himself with a bed sheet. Timothy has recently passed away. His family takes comfort in knowing that his donated organs will bring life to others. Kenosha Sheriff David Beth didn’t return our request for comment. This happened under Beth’s watch in 2009 and again in 2016. The Sheriff didn’t seemingly make any policy changes to prevent this newest suicide. We also reached out to the Racine County Sheriff who is handling the investigation. | 33law

Choosing between the best online poker sites can seem daunting. Especially for someone new to this who may not know exactly which poker games they want to play.
But honestly - the best online poker site is the one that's best for you. Maybe it's something as simple as the way the software looks or which avatars you can pick.
Maybe it's because of the tournament schedule with the biggest guarantees. Whatever your poker experience, our goal is to give you all the info you need to find that perfect poker room.
Just go through our expert poker site reviews. Just to see which one you enjoy more. Then, you can play most of your action there.
Most people, in fact, would rather sit at a table with marginal players that like to gamble. Because if you find the right poker games with just the right wildcards, you can rake in some serious cash.
Other online poker players are happy to punt around at the small stakes and relax after a stressful work day. Whatever your situation, there's an ideal place out there for you.
If you try out one of the smaller poker room skins on a bigger network, such as Tiger Gaming Poker , you'll find easy games and a smaller community.
Not every poker room has thousands of players online at all hours of the day. And there are some distinct advantages to playing on a smaller poker site.
Smaller sites also tend to offer a better poker bonus or more lucrative loyalty rewards as you play more hands.
For example, PokerStars is known as the best online poker tournament room - and the best site to play mixed games. But there are arguably better cash-game sites.
If you manage to find poker rooms with extremely bad players you probably want to stick around a bit. And probably keep it a secret.
Soft competition is another factor we consider when reviewing online poker sites. The multi-country PokerStars. All running around the clock.
Both France and Spain used to have segregated player pools but recently signed an agreement to merge the two, making for much better cash-game and tournament pools.
If you're playing online poker in the UK you'll need to create an account at a poker room that has been officially licensed by the UK Gaming Commission.
The farther you are from peak times the less volume there will be, especially at higher stakes. Even in Europe, though, poker games other than No-Limit Hold'em have smaller volume.
But you should still be able to find a PLO or mixed game most hours of the day. At the smaller poker rooms, most of your opponents are likely to be regulars so you can get a very good gauge on their abilities.
And therefore, where your most likely profits lie. As a general rule, poker rooms have a lot of fish at the lower stakes and tough players at the highest stakes.
So watch your game selection closely. In the biggest weekly tournaments you'll find plenty of tough competition.
However, at the lower stakes, you may be able to take advantage of bad play. As virtually all poker rooms are licensed and regulated in Europe, competition for new players is extreme.
This makes for very good new player bonuses. All licensing authority operate under the respective country gambling act and as such, enforce and verify the implementation of security and encryption protocols that include firewalls and other industry accepted security software.
Apart from security protocols, we look at how well regulated the site is. Any unlicensed or suspicious poker platforms will instantly be disregarded from any further consideration.
That said, you can expect to find sites that are certified and verified by an esteemed licensing jurisdiction and an independent agency that oversees the fairness of games.
Expect flawless technology focused on delivering an incredible gaming experience. So, all those freezes and bugs that ruined your gaming session?
Major online poker rooms like the ones listed above use the latest software available on the market. Well, if you choose to register with poker sites from my list, you can exploit all the perks that come with mobile poker.
Some of them even offer a native poker app, which is the latest trend in the online poker world. They are a close replica to the desktop client and support all the same features and options.
In other words, you can make on the go payments, claim fantastic bonuses, and choose between a wide range of mobile poker games. Full Suite of Poker Games What do all players like to see when they join a poker site?
A massive welcome bonus? For sure. A wide range of games? For this reason, we opt to choose only the poker rooms with the most diverse poker offerings.
This means that you are bound to find a suitable table, regardless of your skill level, and betting preference. These elite poker establishments host tons of SNGs and tournaments every day and Aussies are more than welcome to join.
And if you are looking for a poker site with soft competition, we have plenty of those on offer as well. Stable Traffic Every top-tier poker site is characterized by a balanced traffic.
That means that during peak hours, you should always be able to find an open seat. The cash game traffic in our recommended sites is well-balanced, which means that you can grab a seat at both micro stakes and higher tables.
While traffic and games are unrelated, in many cases, it is directly related as the more traffic, the higher the demand or a broader range of poker styles.
However, they often will include unique variations exclusive to their poker site only in order to appeal to a broader base of players and to separate them from others in this genre of online gaming.
Additionally, some will add additional gaming options such as a live casino, sports betting or an online casino.
While die-hard poker players prefer software that is geared only towards poker, having options is an advantage to others.
Adept Customer Support Support services are another mandatory expectation amongst punters. Additional support services may include a frequently asked question section that often come equipped with detailed information on a broad assortment of areas relating to the poker site in question.
Every player will be in the same boat as you. However, amongst all the great poker websites, there are a few rogue operators who are best avoided.

Due to rising temperatures in recent years, it may be possible for Hokkaido to also cultivate sweet potatoes, which are generally grown in warmer climates. Demand for sweet potatoes is on the rise, thanks partly to expanding exports to Southeast Asian countries, where there is something of a boom for Japanese-style baked sweet potatoes.
Kyushu and other top production areas in Japan have had their crops damaged by disease, leading both the public and the private sector to look to Hokkaido for a stable supply.
On Oct. 6, people from fruit and vegetable wholesale companies as well as seed and seedling companies gathered on farmland owned by agricultural corporation Vegetable Works Inc. in the village of Makkari at the foot of Mt. Yotei in Hokkaido. They dug bright purple sweet potatoes out of the earth, which they had planted over about 50 acres of the farmland in June. Together they harvested about 15 tons of sweet potatoes.
“This is the first time for me to grow [sweet potatoes], and they’re pretty easy to cultivate. I’m sure they’ll become more common in Hokkaido,” said Shin Sasaki, 42, the representative director of Vegetable Works. | 22food

Regional testing of triploid hybrid clones of populus tomentosa
BMC Plant Biology volume 23, Article number: 277 (2023)
Triploid Populus tomentosa, a timber tree species, has been widely planted in northern China owing to its potential high yields and high wood quality. Though genetic variances in growth traits and wood properties have been reported across several planting sites, regional testing of triploid hybrid clones of P. tomentosa has not been conducted on a large scale.
Ten 5-year clonal trials were used to evaluate the inheritance of growth traits, to determine suitable deployment zones, and to identify optimal triploid clones at each experimental site to determine the clones that would be suitable at all sites. A total of 2,430 trees from nine triploid hybrid clones were sampled during the ten trials. The clonal and site effects and clone × site interactions were highly significant (P < 0.001) for all the studied growth and yield traits. The estimated repeatability of means for diameter at breast height (DBH) and tree height (H) was 0.83, which was slightly higher than for stem volume (SV) and estimated stand volume (ESV) (0.78). The Weixian (WX), Gaotang (GT), and Yanzhou (YZ) sites were each considered to be suitable deployment zones, and the Zhengzhou (ZZ), Taiyuan (TY), Pinggu (PG), and Xiangfen (XF) sites were found to be the optimal deployment zones. The TY and ZZ sites were the best discriminative environments, and the GT and XF sites were the best representative environments. GGE pilot analysis revealed that yield performance and stability were significantly different among all the studied triploid hybrid clones across the ten test sites. It was therefore necessary to develop a suitable triploid hybrid clone that could do well at each site. Taking into account both yield performance and stability, the triploid hybrid clone S2 was determined to be an ideal genotype.
For triploid hybrid clones, the WX, GT, and YZ sites represented suitable deployment zones and the ZZ, TY, PG, and XF sites represented optimal deployment zones. Yield performance and stability were significantly different among all the studied triploid hybrid clones across the ten test sites. Developing a suitable triploid hybrid clone that could do well at all sites was therefore desirable.
Populus tomentosa Carr. (section Populus, family Salicaceae, genus Populus) is a tree species that is indigenous to China. As a high-quality, important, and fast-growing tree species, it is widely planted for ecological protection, landscape cultivation, and the production of timber and pulp. The first natural triploid P. tomentosa (2n = 3x = 57), which is thought to originate from a natural 2n pollen crossing with a normal (1n) egg, was discovered in 1993 by Zhu et al. . It is characterized by its extremely large leaves and fast growth. These trees also have longer fibers and improved pulp properties . The discovery and subsequent evaluations of the triploid P. tomentosa attracted the attention of researchers, resulting in a successful triploid breeding program using selection, hybridization, and polyploidy techniques [3,4,5]. As a result, a great number of triploid hybrid clones of P. tomentosa were produced . Owing to its potentially high yields and due to the short rotation for cultivation, triploid hybrid clones of P. tomentosa are widely planted in northern China.
Variety regional testing, which is key to understanding new forest variety performances and market prospects, plays an important role in tree breeding . Since 2000, the United States has built a regional testing network across hundreds of test sites to represent almost all types of planting environments . China has also constructed a systematic regional testing network . To accurately assess each variety over the long term, test sites must be highly representative of planting environments, covering several elements, including weather, soil, terrain, biological factors, etc., which are called multi-environments. Regional test results are, however, still inconsistent with actual forest results. An important reason for this is that neither the number nor the locations of the test sites can adequately represent all of the possible multi-environments.
Genotypic variation in wood properties and growth traits of triploid hybrid clones of P. tomentosa in three trials were reported by Zhang et al. . Subsequently, genotypic parameters of basic wood density, fiber traits, and chemical properties of the nine triploid hybrid clones were estimated by Wu et al. and Zhang et al. [12, 13]. Clone × site interactions were significant for the growth traits, basic wood density, fiber traits, and chemical properties, suggesting that regional testing is required before the triploid hybrid clones of P. tomentosa are planted on a large scale. Recently, the stability of fiber properties and growth traits in triploid hybrid clones of P. tomentosa were also evaluated by Wu et al. according to the Shukla model and the Finlay and Wilkinson stability parameter .
In the present study, we examined tree growth of nine triploid clones across ten trials, such as Pinggu (PG), Weixian (WX), Yanzhou (YZ), Gaotang (GT), Zhengzhou (ZZ), Changge (CG), Taiyuan (TY), Xiangfen (XF), Suzhou (SZ), and Tianmen (TM) in China. The aim of this study was threefold: (1) to evaluate the inheritance of growth traits, (2) to identify suitable deployment zones, and (3) to develop optimal triploid clones for planting. Our findings lay a foundation for developing appropriate deployment strategies for triploid hybrid clones of P. tomentosa.
Variation within and among sites
The mean values, range of variation, and coefficients of phenotypic variation of all studied traits in each of the ten trials are shown in Table 1. Trees from SZ had the lowest DBH. The highest DBH was seen at the ZZ site. The difference in DBH between the lowest and highest means was 69.0% (Table 1). Trees from the TM site had the lowest H. The greatest H of trees was observed at the TY site. Among all sites, the largest SV and ESV of sampled trees were found at the ZZ site. Phenotypic variation of these composite traits (SV and ESV) at the ZZ site was, however, lower than at some of the less productive sites, such as PG, WX, TY, and TM. Joint analysis of all ten trials showed significant site effects for all studied traits (Table 2). DBH and H exhibited small phenotypic variation (coefficient of variation (CV) = 3.4–12.5%), which was much lower than the variation in SV and ESV.
Clonal variation and repeatability
The results of the analysis of variance for the ten sites combined are presented in Table 2. Significant differences in both growth and yield traits were found among the clones (Table 2). For all studied traits, variance due to error accounted for most of the variation in these traits, varying from 39.3 to 51.8% of the total variation. Most of the variance in DBH and H (21.6%) was, however, due to the clone. DBH and H in the triploid hybrid clones of P. tomentosa had the highest estimated repeatability (0.83).
The estimated repeatability for the mean values for tree growth and yield traits at individual sites is shown in Table 3. In the present study, we observed no significant differences in DBH, H, SV, and ESV among the triploid clones at the YZ and TM sites. Consequently, we did not estimate the repeatability for these four traits. Estimated clonal repeatability for DBH varied from 0.60 to 0.94 and from 0.62 to 0.94 for H. Estimated clonal repeatability of SV and ESV ranged from 0.76 to 0.94.
Determination of deployment zone
Cluster analysis of ESV of triploid hybrid clones of P. tomentosa across the ten trials was conducted using Euclidean Distance (Fig. 1). The ten trials were classified into four subgroups. The three least productive sites (SZ, TM, and CG) were regarded as non-suitable deployment zones. The intermediately productive sites (WX, GT, and YZ) were considered to be suitable deployment zones, and the four most highly productive sites (ZZ, TY, PG, and XF) sites were considered to be optimal deployment zones.
GGE analysis of growth and yield traits
The ‘‘Which-Won-Where’’ function of the GGE biplot presents the outermost genotypes as a polygon and makes a vertical line for each edge of the polygon through the origin. Based on the graphical results, the test environments were categorized, with the superior triploid clones identified in each group. The results showed that the ten test sites could be divided into four groups: the TY, YZ, XF, and GT sites in one group; the TM, PG, and ZZ sites in the second group; the SZ and WX sites in the third group; and the CG site in an independent group (Fig. 2). The triploid hybrid clone S9 was the highest productive genotype at the TY, YZ, XF, and GT sites. Clone S7 was the highest productive genotype at the TM, PG, and ZZ sites, and clone S1 was the highest productive genotype at the SZ and WX sites.
The choice of the test environment is in direct relation to the reliability of variety breeding. An ideal test environment should be strongly discriminative to test varieties and be representative of mega-environments. Figure 3 shows the discrimination and representativeness of the test sites. The blue line with arrows shows the average environment axis and sites with long vectors in relation to the origin represent high discrimination. The angle between the test environment vector and the average environment axis represents the representativeness of the test environment. The smaller the angle, the stronger the representativeness of the test environment. The results show that the TY and ZZ sites were the best discriminative environments, and the GT and XF sites were the best representative environments (Fig. 3). The CG site was considered as an unsuitable test environment.
Genotype-environment interaction and stability analysis of yield
In the present study, a significant interaction of clone × site was found for all studied growth and yield traits (Table 2). Compared to other studied traits, ESV had a higher ratio of clone × site interaction variance compared to the sum of clonal and clone × site interaction variances (67.7%).
The high yield and stability of the tested clones are shown in Fig. 4. The vertical black dotted line represents the average yield and stability of each triploid hybrid clone across all environments. The coordinate values on the average environmental axis reflect the yield of the varieties, and the longer dotted line shows that the yield was more unstable.
The solid green straight lines through the origin represent the grand (overall) means. The genotype on the left side of the green more-vertical line indicates a yield below the grand mean, while the genotype on the right side has a yield above the grand mean. Yield performance and stability were noticeably different among all studied triploid hybrid clones across the ten test sites. The triploid hybrid clone S5 had the lowest yield, and clones S6, S1, S3, S4, and S8 were around the overall mean, while clone S9 had the highest yield. The most stable triploid hybrid clones were S2, S6, and S5, and the most unstable were clones S1, S8, S7, S9, and S4. Taking into account both high yield and stability, triploid hybrid clone S2 was, therefore, the most ideal genotype.
Variations among sites
Site effects reflect the response of trees to the combined effects of edaphic as well as local and regional climatic conditions [14, 17]. Even if the clonal trials in this study were not designed to separate these various effects, some conclusions could still be drawn. The poor field performance for growth at SZ was probably due to poor drainage (because of soil compaction) and the wet weather during the test period of the trial. A slower growth rate at TM was also observed because TM is out of the traditional distribution zone of P. tomentosa. The joint analysis of all ten trials exhibited significant site effects for all the studied growth traits (Table 2). Additionally, a positive correlation between ESV and latitude and negative correlations between ESV and longitude as well as rainfall and mean annual temperature were seen (Fig. 5), indicating that edaphic and regional climatic conditions did have significant influences on tree growth. At all the ten sites, the DBH and H of the nine triploid clones had less phenotypic plasticity than SV and ESV, as evidenced by the lower CV values, indicating that the site impacts DBH and H less than SV and ESV.
Clonal variation and repeatability
Clonal effects in the joint analysis for all studied growth and yield traits were significant (P < 0.001). Higher significance of clonal effects was seen at the ZZ, XF, and TY sites (Table 3), suggesting that these three sites resulted in much larger genetic variations and small environment variations than the other less productive sites. A significant clonal effect in the growth traits of poplars or their triploid hybrids has also been documented in previous studies [14, 18,19,20,21].
Precise estimation of quantitative parameters requires, for the purpose of tree improvement, more testing sites for the same genotypes. An increase in the number of clonal testing locations would contribute to improving the accuracy of clonal effects, resulting in a reduction in the complexity of field testing. A previous study reported that the estimated repeatability of DBH, H, and SV in the same nine triploid clones of P. tomentosa at three testing sites varied from 0.55 to 0.62. When the number of testing sites was six, the estimated repeatability of DBH, H, and SV changed from 0.76 to 0.85 . In the present study, we estimated the repeatability of growth and yield traits of nine triploid clones across ten testing sites. The estimated repeatability of DBH, H, SV, and ESV were 0.83, 0.83, 0.78, and 0.78, respectively. Compared with the estimated repeatabilities of growth and yield traits across the six testing sites, no significant differences in the estimated repeatability of growth and yield traits were found, suggesting that six testing sites are sufficient to estimate quantitative parameters in triploid clones of P. tomentosa.
Determination of deployment zone
Different tree species have different distribution zones. For example, wild types of P. tomentosa can be found in the Beijing, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, and the Ningxia autonomous region . The distribution zone of P. tomentosa is about 1 million square kilometers, which represents one-tenth of China’s land area. In this study, the ten testing sites of triploid hybrid clones of P. tomentosa were divided into three deployment zones: non-suitable deployment zone, suitable deployment zone, and optimal deployment zone. The SZ, TM, and CG sites were identified as non-suitable deployment zones; the WX, GT and YZ sites as suitable deployment zones; and the ZZ, TY, PG, and XF sites as optimal deployment zones. This information is valuable for guiding the pulp and paper industry as to where to plant the triploid hybrid clones of P. tomentosa to maximize yield. Compared with wild types of P. tomentosa, however, the size of the suitable deployment and optimal deployment zones was much smaller. This may be partially explained by the differences in distribution zones for the female parents of triploid hybrid clones.
Clone × site interaction and stability
As regional testing approaches can aid the development of clones suitable for different environments, clone × site interaction might have a significant effect on the accuracy of breeding values, thus resulting in a decrease in genetic gain. With results differing among testing sites and deployment zones, clone × site interaction could lead to bias in the estimates and thus a reduction in genetic gain if improperly accounted for . Significant clone × site interactions for DBH, H, and SV were seen (Table 2). This finding agrees with former studies on the presence of significant clone × site interaction for growth traits of poplar hybrid clones or triploid hybrid clones [13, 14, 18]. For yield traits (ESV), clone × site interaction was also significant in the present study, which might be sufficient to justify detailed clonal testing in order to obtain optimal clonal deployment.
For the poplar breeding program, it is critical to estimate the yield of a genotype in different locations. By doing so, the stability of a genotype may be uncovered via regression coefficients and stability variances . Wu et al. reported that the higher regression coefficient means of the triploid clones B304, B330 and B331 for SV suggest that these clones have higher norms of reaction to the improvement in testing sites and higher phenotypic plasticity. Zhang et al. evaluated the interactions between environment and growth traits and the stability of new triploid clones of P. tomentosa in five trials, and an ideal triploid clone B303 was screened. The stability of tree varieties may also be evaluated through additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and the GGE biplot [23,24,25]. In this study, we evaluated the stability of triploid hybrid clones of P. tomentosa using GGE biplot analysis. The yield performance and stability were noticeably different among all the studied triploid hybrid clones across all testing sites. This calls for the selection of clones separately for each site. The ‘‘Which-Won-Where’’ function of the GGE biplot revealed that the triploid hybrid clone S9 was the highest productive genotype at the TY, YZ, XF and GT sites. Clone S7 was the highest productive genotype for the TM, PG and ZZ sites, and clone S1 was the highest productive genotype for the SZ and WX sites.
Based on the regional testing and analyses of triploid hybrid clones of P. tomentosa across the ten testing sites, we concluded that the clonal and site effects and clone × site interactions had a highly significant effect (P < 0.001) on all the studied growth and yield traits. The estimated repeatability of means for diameter at breast height (DBH) and tree height (H) was 0.83, which was slightly higher than for stem volume (SV) and estimated stand volume (ESV) (0.78). The WX, GT, and YZ sites were suitable deployment zones, and the ZZ, TY, PG, and XF sites represented optimal deployment zones. The TY and ZZ sites were the best discriminative environments and the GT and XF sites were the best representative environments. The GGE pilot analysis revealed that yield performance and stability were noticeably different among all the studied triploid hybrid clones across ten test sites. Developing a suitable triploid hybrid clone for each site is, therefore, necessary. Taking into account both yield performance and stability, the triploid hybrid clone S2 was determined to be an ideal genotype.
In this study, the materials used were sampled from ten triploid hybrid poplar trials conducted in China. These trials were designed and established by the triploid breeding program of Beijing Forestry University using cuttings on sandy loam with typical soil fertility. The clonal trials at WX, YZ, GT, SZ, CG, and XF were established in the spring of 2004 and the clonal trials at PG, ZZ, TY, and TM were set up in the spring of 2005. The characteristics of the ten trials are presented in Table 4. The specific geographic locations of the ten clonal trials are shown in Fig. 6. The planted cuttings were approximately 20–25 cm in length. Each trial was repeated three times. Nine triploid hybrid clones were involved in each clonal trial (Table 5). The nine triploid hybrid clones were pre-selected among the triploids derived from five parent trees with fast growth . A randomized complete block design with three replicates was used in each trial (240 trees per plot, resulting in a total of 720 trees per clone per trial). Nine poplar clones were planted on rectangular plots at each site, and each plot included 240 trees (4 × 60 trees) with 2 m × 3 m spacing. No thinning was conducted during the testing period.
Measurement of growth and yield traits
In each trial, ten trees were randomly sampled from each plot per clone, resulting in a total of 270 randomly selected trees per location. 2,700 sampled trees were therefore collected in total for the ten clonal trials. After 5 years of growth, the DBH and H of all sampled trees were measured. The SV of each sample was estimated according to the volume function of DBH and H as described by Chen et al. .
The ESV was calculated using the following equation (Eq. 1):
where ESV is the estimated stand wood volume in m3/ hm2, SV is the mean stem volume of each plot in each replicate in m3, and N is the number of survival trees per square kilometer.
Analysis of variance of DBH, H, SV, and ESV was performed using the UNIVARIATE procedure of the SPSS software (SPSS for Windows, version 18.0, SPSS, Chicago, IL). Variation among ramets of the sampled clones was analyzed using analysis of variance, using a linear model (Eq. 2) within the site:
where Xik is an observation on the kth ramet from the ith clone, µ is the general mean, Ci is the effect due to the ith clone, and εik is random error.
Repeatability of means within a site was calculated using the following formula (3):
The linear model (4) was used for joint analyses of the ten sites together :
where Xijk is an observation on the kth ramet from the ith clone in the jth location; µ is the overall mean; Ci is the effect due to the ith clone; Lj is the effect due to the jth location; CiLj is the interaction between the ith clone and jth location; and εijk is random error. All terms were considered random, except for location which was considered a fixed effect.
The repeatability of clone means was calculated according to the following formula (5):
where k1 is the coefficient associated with the variance due to the clone × location interaction term (σ2L×C), and k2 is the coefficient associated with the variance due to clonal variation (σ2C). Approximate standard errors (SE) for repeatability estimates were calculated based on the following formula :
where N is the number of clones tested.
The GGE model equation for the first two principal components is written as.
where yij is the measured mean for the ith clone at the jth site, βj is the measured mean for all clones at the jth site, λ1 and λ2 are the singular values for the first two principal components (PC1 and PC2), ξi1 and ξi2 are the scores of clone i for PC1 and PC2, ηj1 and ηj2 are the scores for site j for PC1 and PC2, and εij is the residual error.
GGE biplot analysis was employed using the R package GGEBiplotGUI . GGE biplots were based on singular value decomposition with symmetrical scaling and focused on the environment . Cluster analysis of yields for the ten sites was performed using the CLASSIFICATION procedure of the SPSS software.

This results in creating false choices based on extremes rather than finding nuanced solutions that understand and accept the values and principles that each side represents. This type of false choice has dominated much of the debate between the spiritual traditions, which have emphasized fulfillment through renunciation, or at least, have treated life in the world either as an illusion or of lesser importance than spiritual liberation, attainment of heaven, or ineffable Oneness with the Absolute, and the worldly wise who focus on the perfection of our powers of action in the world, the achievement of worldly results and success and the enhancement of our worldly life.
Sri Aurobindo’s approach points out that each of these has its own inherent value and necessity and thus, we need to find ways to resolve the false choice of the extremes and integrate them into a new synthesis. He describes this at length in the early chapters of The Life Divine titled “The Refusal of the Ascetic”, “The Materialist Denial” and “Reality Omnipresent”.
In The Human Cycle, Sri Aurobindo observes: Religion “seems to condemn the pursuit of earthly aims as a trend opposed to the turn to a spiritual life and the hopes of man on earth as an illusion or a vanity incompatible with the hopes of man in heaven. The spirit then becomes something aloof which man can only reach by throwing away the life of his lower members. Either he must abandon this nether life after a certain point, when it has served its purpose, or must persistently discourage, mortify and kill it. If that be the true sense of religion, then obviously religion has no positive message for human society in the proper field of social effort, hope and aspiration or for the individual in any of the lower members of his being. For each principle of our nature seeks naturally for perfection in its own sphere and, if it is to obey a higher power, it must be because that power gives it a greater perfection and a fuller satisfaction even in its own field. But if perfectibility is denied to it and therefore the aspiration to perfection taken away by the spiritual urge, then it must either lose faith in itself and the power to pursue the natural expansion of its energies and activities or it must reject the call of the spirit in order to follow its own bend and law, dharma.”
“This quarrel between earth and heaven, between the spirit and its members becomes still more sterilising if spirituality takes the form of a religion of sorry and suffering and austere mortification and the gospel of the vanity of things; in its exaggeration it leads to such nightmares of the soul as that terrible gloom and hopelessness of the Middle Ages in their worst moment when the one hope of mankind seemed to be in the approaching and expected end of the world…. But even in less pronounced and intolerant forms of this pessimistic attitude with regard to the world, it becomes a force for the discouragement of life and cannot, therefore, be a true law and guide for life. All pessimism is to that extent a denial of the Spirit, of its fullness and power, an impatience with the ways of God in the world, an insufficient faith in the divine Wisdom and Will that created the world and for ever guide it.” | 50philosophy

A thick haze of toxic smog hung over the Indian capital, increased by a spike in the burning of crop waste in surrounding farmlands. It reduced visibility and the Air Quality Index (AQI) hit 470 on a scale of 500, according to the federal pollution control board.
This level of pollution means the air will affect healthy people and seriously impact those with existing diseases.
According to the pollution board’s “Graded Response Action Plan”, air quality remaining “severe” for 48 hours must prompt states and local bodies to impose emergency measures that include shutting down schools, imposing ‘odd-even’ restrictions on private cars based on their number plates, and stopping all construction.
In a circular late on Friday, the board said the government and private offices should reduce the use of private transport by 30% and advised the city’s residents to limit outdoor exposure.
“Meteorological conditions will be highly unfavourable for dispersion of pollutants till November 18, 2021, given low winds with calm conditions during the night,” the board said.
Earlier this week, local authorities had ordered a shutdown of brick kilns, increased the frequency of mechanized cleaning, and a crackdown on garbage burning and dust.
India’s efforts to reduce crop-waste burning, a major source of air pollution during winter, by spending billions of rupees over the past four years have done little to avert a sharp deterioration in air quality.
Delhi often ranked the world’s most polluted capital, faces extremely bad air in winter due to the crop stubble burning, emissions from transport, coal-fired plants outside the city, and other industrial emissions, open garbage burning, and dust. | 4atmospheric_science
