January Expeditions to Antarctica, Falklands, and South Georgia
Ashton Palmer
For most travelers, visiting the 'White Continent' is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. So, why not do it right the first time and include South Georgia—our travelers never regret it!
Top 5 Reasons to visit Antarctica, Falkland Islands, and South Georgia in January:
1. Best time of year: January is mid-summer in Antarctica, when weather, ice conditions, and wildlife viewing are most conducive to exploration. This is by far the BEST time of year to visit both South Georgia and Antarctica.
A January expedition that includes South Georgia is rare and quite special in our books! Generally speaking, there are very few Antarctica, Falklands, and South Georgia trips in January. Reason being, it is more profitable for shipping companies to schedule in multiple Antarctica Peninsula-only voyages during prime season (January) rather than one or two longer programs that include South Georgia. Voyages to South Georgia are therefore typically early or late in the season, when conditions are not at their most advantageous for several activities.
2. Penguin chicks on Antarctic Peninsula: Your heart will undoubtedly melt at the first sight of these precious baby animals! During January, the chicks are still with their mothers in the rookeries, so you will see hundreds of penguin chicks throughout your expedition. Comical and naturally photogenic, these sweet creatures are hands-down one of the most entertaining highlights on these voyages.
3. Sea ice level: You will see sea ice in Antarctica, but there should not be so much to hinder exploration plans by the captain and expedition leader. Less sea ice also means the start of whale season! The whales cannot feed if there is too much ice. Enjoy spectacular whale watching from the ship or at close proximity from your Zodiac--amazing!!
4. Time to relax and acclimate: It takes a few days to get into a trip and over the jetlag. By doing the longer trip (17/18 days) you will have more than adequate time to rest and acclimate yourself, allowing you to better enjoy the experiences of each destination.
5. Elephant Island: You may have an opportunity to visit Elephant Island where Shackleton and his men were stranded after their ship, The Endurance, was trapped by the ice. January is the best month to attempt a landing here, as conditions during other months are often too dangerous to visit the island. For many travelers, this is truly a wonderful highlight!
My friend Brent Houston, one of the leading seabird biologists in the world, once said that if he only had five days left to live he would spend two of them on South Georgia. Of course, people always ask him where he'd spend the other three. "Getting there!" he answers.
It's true that reaching South Georgia is no easy feat. However, the reward is undisputable. A spectacular wildlife hotspot, those who have visited South Georgia have described it as "an experience of a lifetime," and "beyond imagination..." and even "a different realm." You may ask why there are not more trips going there then? The reality is that most people find it too difficult to be away for 3+ weeks. The shorter trips to the Antarctic Peninsula, therefore, operate more frequently and appeal to more travelers. Plus, simply put, the shipping companies make more money by doing several Antarctica-only trips verses just a few Antarctica, Falklands, South Georgia trips.
So why is South Georgia so special? In my experience, there are only a handful of places on the planet that offer such an incredible wildlife experience, and South Georgia is one of those places. Imagine stepping onto a sandy beach and being welcomed by tens of thousands of king penguins as far as the eye can see....none of them the least bit bothered by your arrival. If anything, you are somewhat of a novelty. South Georgia offers the chance to see several wildlife species that you will not likely see in Antarctica: king penguins, macaroni penguins, thousands of fur and elephant seals, nesting wandering albatross, light mantled sooty albatross, and the list goes on.
Not only is the wildlife abundant, fearless and absolutely stunning, but it inhabits one of the most visually spectacular places on earth. Imagine the jagged peaks of the Swiss Alps, laced with the massive glaciers of Alaska's Glacier Bay, surrounded by Hawaii's verdant green valleys, and you might start to understand the visual topographic feast that is South Georgia. Sparkling sandy beaches and black rocky coastline, this island truly is a jewel of the Southern Ocean.
South Georgia has a rich history, and was home to whalers of the Southern Ocean. Today, there are still a few locations where the hulking whale processing factories and a few retired whaling ships now rest, abandoned. Famed explorer Ernest Shackleton is buried at the former whaling station of Grytviken, a popular landing stop for visitors.
Following are a few memories I have of my time visiting...
- Experiencing the thrill when standing in amongst 100,000 king penguins...The sound, sight, even smell takes your breath away. It's like starring in your own National Geographic documentary!
- Traveling by Zodiac around the rocky coastline to watch young fur seal pups playing in the seaweed. The sea lions are so numerous that at times it seems the water is boiling with these playful marine mammals!
- Hiking up to see the wandering albatross on their nests. These birds often spend years at sea and only occasionally return to the place they were born to nest. Seeing these birds on land gives you incredible perspective on their size. Their wing span measures about 12 feet—the largest of any bird in the world.
- Toasting Sir Ernest Shackleton who was laid to rest in the cemetery in Grytvicken Harbor. It's hard not to be impressed by the accomplishments of 'The Boss' as you retrace his footsteps and voyages throughout the region.
- Hulking elephant seals belching and wallowing, fighting and grunting. These massive marine mammals may seem awkward on land but exhibit some of the most impressive deep diving and swimming techniques of any animal on the planet. And, while the adults may not be described as the most attractive animals, their offspring are adorable little sausage packages with big curious eyes. Who could not be moved by the gaze of an elephant seal pup!
- The graceful courting flights of the light mantled sooty albatross gliding over the tussock grass. These birds mate for life and court by flying in unison. Truly one of the most beautiful things to see, their light brown and white plumage are like a watercolor artist's masterpiece.
- Experiencing nature at its most raw and primal state—huge glaciers gouging smooth valleys, jagged snowy peaks, clouds, sun, wind. Feel the elements, breath in the majestic scenery...get in touch with nature.
- Watching the king penguins for hours, whether the young courting pairs, the fuzzy chicks, or the strutting show-offs. The king penguins breeding cycle is a year and a half and it overlaps year-round. The result is visitors will always have opportunities to see chicks, courting, nesting, and fledging.
- A myriad of colors, South Georgia boasts a rainbow of green, red, and yellow that you will not find in Antarctica. These vibrant colors offer a dramatic contrast to the ice of the Antarctic Peninsula.
South Georgia is a pinch yourself, "am I really here?", life-changing experience. As one of our travelers put it: "Knowing what I do now, this was easily the best travel experience I have ever had. No matter where I travel, I probably will never surpass the experience." – Louise Traige; Los Angeles, CA

About the Famous Abstract Art Thai Zodiac
In this Famous Abstract Art, our artist features the wholeness of everything in the universe in the center of the artwork. The One Universe symbol shows the subject of unity across the earth, ocean, and sky. The important element in the composition of the One number is Sam Kasat. In Thai words, it means the Three Kings. It is a combination of the three very valuable elements including gold, silver, and copper.
The Three Great Kings of Thailand are King Ramkhamhaeng (the creator of the Thai Alphabet), King Naresuan (Father of Thai Army), and King Taksin (King of Thonburi). Those are the greatest Kings who had made Thailand a better Kingdom. They had a significant role while the Siam Kingdom went through touch times.
Surrounding the One Universe symbol, the artist depicts the Twelve Thai Zodiac-Animals circle. In traditional Thai culture, each animal symbol represents a year cycle in a repeating twelve-year period. The zodiac reflects a person's nature's personality of cycles.

record_key_for_dom_id(record) protected
Returns a string representation of the key attribute(s) that is suitable for use in an HTML DOM id. This can be overwritten to customize the default generated string representation if desired. If you need to read back a key from a dom_id in order to query for the underlying database record, you should write a helper like 'person_record_from_dom_id' that will extract the key either based on the default implementation (which just joins all key attributes with '-') or on your own overwritten version of the method. By default, this implementation passes the key string through a method that replaces all characters that are invalid inside DOM ids, with valid ones. You need to make sure yourself that your dom ids are valid, in case you overwrite this method.

To evaluate whether calcium adjusted for albumin can be used to monitor calcium homeostasis in critically ill patients.Prospective single-single center observational study.Clinical laboratory and critical care unit of a regional teaching hospital.Fifty-three paired samples were from 36 patients requiring intensive care treatment.None.Total calcium, albumin-adjusted calcium, and ionized calcium were measured in critically ill patients during an 8-wk period. Calcium was adjusted for albumin using the formula that is most frequently used in The Netherlands. Using ionized calcium as the gold standard, albumin-adjusted calcium overestimated hypercalcemia and totally missed hypocalcemia. The same seemed to be true for other formulas used for albumin or protein adjustment of calcium concentrations.Albumin-adjusted calcium cannot be used in an intensive care setting to monitor reliably the calcium levels in critically ill patients and should be replaced by measurement of ionized calcium.

SFA vs IFS - Bennie Hurter (aka Benhur)
The issue of having a Solid Front Axle (SFA) or Independent Front Suspension (IFS) in your vehicle is always a hot topic to discuss. People have different views on which one of the two suspension types are the right one.
From a technical point of view consider this. With SFA the centre of the diff is fixed between the front wheels and it moves in relation to the body of the vehicle. So the distance between the centre of the diff and the ground will stay the same (if the surface is linear) as the suspension travels in and out.
IFS working are the complete inverse. The centre of the diff is fixed in relation to the body and it varies in relation to the ground up to a point where it can come close to the ground. If the surface is now slightly uneven the chance of it touching the ground is much higher than with a SFA where the surface must be much more uneven before touching occurs.
The primitive illustration below will demonstrate what I tried stating above a bit more clearly

Jenkins Plugin Tip: Access Control and Visibility in Actions
Written by: Kohsuke Kawaguchi
3 min read
Stay connected
As we discussed before , Action is one of the primary ways plugins use to add more information to the top page, project pages, build pages, and so on.
Today I'd like to talk about writing protected actions that require some kind of access control. Depending on your requirements, there are several ways to do this. There are three parts in Action that affects behaviours with this regard.
One is the getIconFileName() method. As its javadoc states, returning null from this method hides your action from the HTML page. So if you have an action and you don't want to show it for users who don't have the permission to access it, it could be something like the following:
 public String getIconFileName() {
 return Jenkins.getInstance().hasPermission(Model.LIST) ? "gear.png" : null;
 }
The next is the getUrlName() method. This method also allows null as the return value. This might sound similar to getIconFileName() but the implication is different. With getIconFileName() returning null, the rendered HTML page won't show the link but if someone knows the URL, they can still access it. But with this method returning null, it's as if no such URL is recognized.
So with the code like the following, if someone without the permission requests it, he'll get 404 not found (modulo a bug, which I just fixed toward 1.443). This is sometimes desirable, as not only can you hide the data, but you can also hide the fact that something exists. For jobs, Jenkins does this — http://jenkins/job/top-secret-project/ returns 404 not found, not 401 forbidden, so guessing the project name will not help attackers gain any information.
 public String getUrlName() {
 return Jenkins.getInstance().hasPermission(Model.LIST) ? "template" : null;
 }
But this is sometimes undesirable, as users will not be prompted for authentication. If someone hits the link with an expired session, he'll get 404 not found and he needs to be smart enough to know that this is because he hasn't logged in, then navigate manually to the login page and come back. To avoid this problem, you'll do the following and advertise the URL all the time.
 public String getUrlName() {
 return "template";
 }
And that brings me to the third part, because getUrlName() now always returning non-null means you aren't actually checking if those who are accessing has a permission to do so. To do this, you use StaplerProxy .
class MyAction implements Action, StaplerProxy {
 ...
 public Object getTarget() {
 Jenkins.getInstance().checkPermission(Model.LIST);
 return this;
 }

What happens is that when the URL that someone requests hits this action (or something underneath), we'll verify that the requestor has the permission. If not, this will initiate the authentication, such as redirecting the user to the login page, or initiating the OpenID protocol with the preconfigured identity provider. Normally this interface is used to defer the UI processing to another object (sort of like how symlink works), but in this case we return this to indicate that we process this request by ourselves, and it's smart enough not to cause infinitely recursion.
I guess the rule of thumb is that (1) you have to check the permission either in getUrlName() or getTarget() , or else there's no access control, (2) you use getIconFileName() control the visibility in the HTML page, and (3) you use getUrlName() to control if you want 401 or 404 in case the access is denied.

Crotty Dam also known earlier as the King River Dam is an 82metre high concrete faced rock and gravel fill dam in Western Tasmania. It is one of two dams that contain Lake Burbury, which forms the headwaters for the King River Hydroelectric Power Development on Tasmania's West Coast. The other is Darwin Dam.
The dam is located in the upper reaches of the King River gorge where the river breaks through the West Coast Range. It captures the high rainfall in the catchment of the King River and allows diversion of water through a tunnel to the John Butters Power Station some 8 kilometres downstream of the dam.

Before we explain the importance of a base year in commercial leases, it is important to understand the context in which the base year analysis is applicable.
There are many types of commercial leases but the two most common forms of a commercial lease are a triple net lease and a gross lease. A triple net lease (NNN) is a lease where the landlord passes through all of the expenses associated with the property to the tenant – expenses like property tax, maintenance and utilities. In a gross lease the landlord typically pays all of the property's expenses. The third category is what is called a modified gross lease. In that scenario the lease contemplates that there may be increases in the property's expenses by assigning a base year to the lease so that the landlord will have the ability to pass through increase costs to the tenant.
So why is base year important? In a gross lease or modified gross lease the landlord typically agrees to cover the tenant's share of the annual operating expenses. That said the landlord typically limits their annual exposure to the amount of expenses incurred in the base year of the lease – which is typically the first year of the lease. The landlord then continues to pay the property's expenses in the amount in the base year but the tenant agrees to pay its share (percentage) of any increases in the property's expenses going forward. Each year in the future the tenant is then responsible for their share of increased expenses beyond the base year level.

The Biome Changer Remote is used to interface with the Biome Changer Satellite.
To use the Biome Changer Remote it must first be linked to a Biome Changing Satellite and the Satellite must be in orbit around the planet the Biome Changer Remote is to be used on.
To construct a Biome Changer Satellite, the Biome Changer Remote must be in the ID Chip slot during the construction of a satellite in the Satellite Assembling Machine.
Like the satellite Id chips, the Biome Changer Remote can have its satellite link copied to another Biome Changer Remote in the Satellite Assembling Machine.
When multiple Biome Changer Remotes are linked to the same satellite, both the biome discoveries and the power pool are shared.
When first constructed the Biome Changer Remote has no biomes stored in memory. Biomes may be added to the satellite's memory a player must visit the biome he/she wants to add and shift right-click on the Biome Changer Remote and click "Scan Biome".
In order to select the target biome, a player must open the interface by shift right-clicking and clicking on a biome from the list. Then stand where you want to change the biome and right click the remote to transform a 20x20 area centered on the player.
Note: The satellite itself requires power storage and a power supply, the satellite will pull up to 100RF/t at 10RF per block.

Keywords: [ Kernel Methods ] [ change point analysis ] [ nonparametric ]
We study the change point problem that considers alterations in the conditional distribution of an inferential target on a set of covariates. This paired data scenario is in contrast to the standard setting where a sequentially observed variable is analyzed for potential changes in the marginal distribution. We propose new methodology for solving this problem, by starting from a simpler task that analyzes changes in conditional expectation, and generalizing the tools developed for that task to conditional distributions. Large sample properties of the proposed statistics are derived. In empirical studies, we illustrate the performance of the proposed method against baselines adapted from existing tools. Two real data applications are presented to demonstrate its potential.

What is the average cost of landscaping?
Quick Answer
As of 2015, the average cost of landscaping is roughly $2,900. The lowest amount is $1,100 and the highest amount is $9,000. Overall costs are often influenced by geographic location and the scope of the landscaping project. Costs are also influenced by whether the homeowner wants to include extra ornamentation.
Continue Reading
Full Answer
The average cost of landscaping is also influenced by whether the homeowner decides to handle a majority of the project on his own or instead consult with a landscape architect, designer or another landscape professional. The homeowner might also decide to hire a landscape surveyor to determine where his property ends and where his neighbor's begins.
Homeowners should also consider the long-term effects of their landscaping plans. For example, homeowners should think about whether the new landscaping features allow for proper draining, otherwise they may experience mold, mildew and water damage. Homeowners can also decide between synthetic grass and xeriscaping. Either option is a good way to save money in the future on labor and water usage.
Homeowners who include extra landscaping features such as ponds, misting systems and gazebos should include the cost of supplies and ongoing care with such additions. Extra costs can stem from continuing maintenance, de-icing in the winter and the initial cost of installation.

inverse femtobarn
The inverse femtobarn (fb−1) is a measurement of particle-collision events per femtobarn; a measure of both the collision number and the amount of data collected.
One inverse femtobarn corresponds to approximately 100 trillion (1012) proton-proton collisions. Over a period of time, two streams of particles with a cross-sectional area, measured in femtobarns, are directed to collide. The total number of collisions is directly proportional to the luminosity of the collisions measured over this time.
Calculate the collision count by multiplying the integrated luminosity by the sum of the cross-section for those collision processes. This count is then expressed as inverse femtobarns for the time period (100 fb−1 in nine months).
Note: Do not use inverse femtobarn in the public section of the website where it can be avoided - it is unnecessarily technical. Convert to approximate numbers of collisions instead.

Dogs kill swans more often than swans kill dogs, experts say
Interfering with swans during nesting season is a criminal offence
Swans are fiercely protective parents and they see a dog as a predator
Every year there are several reports of swans being killed by dogs - but it is virtually unheard of for a swan to kill a dog, according to Birdwatch Ireland.
In the aftermath of an incident in Bushy Park on Saturday, in which a dog was killed by a swan, experts have moved to reassure the public that not only are such attacks highly improbable, they only happen when there is a perceived threat to young cygnets.
In the incident at the weekend, a cocker spaniel was swimming in the duck pond in Bushy Park, Terenure near a group of swans and cygnets when an adult swan broke away and attacked the dog, killing it.
"[Swans] are fiercely protective parents and they see a dog as a predator," explained Niall Hatch of Birdwatch Ireland.
"It's important that swans are given peace and quiet around the nesting season (which occurs during the summer months)."
In Ireland the most common swan type is the Mute swan, which are largely well accustomed to humans, whom they associate with food. By comparison the migrant Whooper and Bewick's swans are unlikely to interact.
Male Mutes grow up to 20 kilograms in size, about as large as possible for a flying bird, and they can strike out with their wings. Before doing so, however, they will hiss a warning to steer clear, generally in defence of their cygnets or nests.
Mr Hatch said his organisation receives about four to five reports every summer of swans being killed by dogs but he has never heard of it happening the other way round.
Measured response
Not only are swans a protected species, but it is a criminal offence under the Wildlife Act to interfere with them during the nesting season.
Eric Dempsey, bird expert and author, said a measured response is required to Saturday's attack - both to alert the public to the fact young cygnets are in the water, and to ward off any extreme reaction.
Although swan attacks, similar to those of seagulls, make headlines when they occur, they are considered extremely rare and are an aspect of natural protective behaviour.
"A swan would see a dog as a perceived threat, as a predator. Any animal will protect their babies," said Mr Dempsey. Dogs, experts say, should be kept out of the water during the summer months if swans are in the area.
Mr Dempsey stressed the birds are defensive, not aggressive, and will readily lead their young to humans in order to receive food. Any approach to their nest, however, can provoke a response.
A blow from a swan's wing is similar to getting slapped, said Mr Dempsey, who has himself been on the receiving end while working with the birds.
"There is a myth that swans will break your arm - I have never met or heard of a person who had their arm broken by a swan."
Attacks are rare, at least in terms of public reporting, but when cases do emerge they capture the public interest and are widely reported.
In 2001, 71-year-old Mary Ryan from Dublin lost her compensation claim against the State when she was beaten to the ground and battered by a swan in the Phoenix Park. She broke her wrist in the incident.
Ms Ryan said that having fed the swan, she heard a fluttering of wings behind her. "When I turned around I couldn't believe what I was seeing. He was coming for me. He knocked me to the ground," she said. "He continued to aggressively beat my legs and tried to peck me in the head."
In a case in the US in 2012, Anthony Hensley (37) drowned in Chicago after being knocked from his kayak by a swan, which then stopped him swimming ashore.
"It [WAS] presumably a male swan and it's presumably paired, and it's set up home for the spring," Chris Perrins, a retired Oxford ornithologist, told the BBC at the time. "It's going to defend that territory."
In 2014 there were reports of a swan, subsequently named Asbo, attacking boats and flying directly at humans on the River Cam in Cambridge.
However, despite the potential for such behaviour, Dr Michael Brooke of the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge said the birds pose "no danger at all" to adult humans.
"I suppose it could be an issue for elderly people or a two-year old, but if you see your child in danger you can just pick them up and walk away," he said.
"People think of them as intimidating because they have a wide wingspan, but then some people are intimidated by spiders in the bath."

text: This paper presents a modified impulse controller that is used to improve the velocity tracking of a servomechanism having characteristics of high nonlinear friction. A hybrid control scheme consisting of a conventional PID part and an impulsive part is used as a basis to the modified controller. This has previously been used to improve the position and velocity tracking of robot manipulators at very low velocities. Experiments show that at higher velocities the improved performance of the impulse part of the hybrid controller diminishes and can be counterproductive at these speeds when compared to conventional PID control alone. The modified hybrid impulse controller in this paper uses a mathematical function to transition the amount of torque from an impulse as a function of velocity to achieve more precise tracking across a range of velocities.

How many baby Pallas's long-tongued bats are in a litter?
A Pallas's long-tongued bat (Glossophaga soricina) usually gives birth to around 1 babies.With 2 litters per year, that sums up to a yearly offspring of 2 babies.
Each of those little ones spend around 108 days as a fetus before they are released into the wild. Upon birth, they weight 180 kg (396.83 lbs) and measure 4.8 cm (0′ 2″). They are a member of the Phyllostomidae family (genus: Glossophaga). An adult Pallas's long-tongued bat grows up to a size of 4.8 cm (0′ 2″).
To have a reference: Humans obviously usually have a litter size of one ;). Their babies are in the womb of their mother for 280 days (40 weeks) and reach an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″). They weight in at 62 kg (137 lbs), which is obviously highly individual, and reach an average age of 75 years.

[teacherartexchange] wedging clay
From: San D Hasselman (shasselman_at_TeacherArtExchange)
Date: Fri Sep 11 2009 - 07:24:52 PDT
Easiest way to wedge clay:
Take clay and make a brick out of it by pounding all six sides. In other words, slam it down on the floor making one side, rotate it 1/4 turn, slam it and make another "side", rotate it 1/4 turn, make another "side" turn it 1/4 turn and make the last side of the brick. Then slam both ends down one at a time. Keep doing this rotation for 3 times. (I use the floor, but you certainly can slam on a counter or table). Then when you cut it in half to check for airbubbles, viola, no air bubbles. Beats trying to explain to them the wedging process,and works every time.

To create a collapsible set in jQuery Mobile, follow these steps:
 1. Start by creating a basic HTML structure for the collapsible set. It should include a main container with one or more collapsible sections inside it. Each section should have a header and content.
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10

Section 1

Content of section 1 goes here

Section 2

Content of section 2 goes here

 1. Add the jQuery Mobile library to your project. You can do this by downloading it from the jQuery Mobile website or by using a CDN.
 2. Initialize the collapsible set using the .collapsible() method provided by jQuery Mobile. This will add the necessary styles and behavior to your HTML.
1
2
3
$(document).ready(function(){
 $('[data-role="collapsible-set"]').collapsible();
});
 1. Optionally, you can add additional configuration options to the .collapsible() method to customize the behavior of your collapsible set. For example, you can set the default state of each section to open or closed using the collapsed option.
1
2
3
4
5
$(document).ready(function(){
 $('[data-role="collapsible-set"]').collapsible({
 collapsed: true // all sections start closed
 });
});
That's it! Your collapsible set should now be fully functional. When a user clicks on a section header, the content of that section will expand and collapse.

The flange thickness and rim inside thickness of the wheelset are key parameters that influence the wheel-rail contact. With the speed continuous increase of the rail vehicles, the wear of wheelset is becoming more and more serious, thus accelerating the changes of wheelset's flanges, which will certainly bring security hidden troubles to the operation of railway, so it is very important to realize dynamic measurements of the wheelset's flange thickness and rim inside thickness. This paper proposes a novel real-time measurement method to wheelsets based on the image processing. This system based on the triangular principle uses CCD (Charge-coupled device) to obtain the information of the wheelsets. In this system, the flange thickness can be uncontacted measured in real time. The standard deviation of the rim inside thickness is 0.47mm and that of the flange thickness is 0.635mm, and the error range is Â±0.8mm, and Â±1.0mm, respectively. When the train passes through the measurement system at the speed of 5km/h, the measurement results show that the measurement system can meet the measuring requirement on line.

The Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation is a living history museum located in beautiful Ridley Creek State Park. The museum strives to represent and recreate the every day lives of the regular citizens who lived in Southeastern Pennsylvania from 1760 to 1790. The 112 acre farm is dubbed a plantation according to land descriptions of the time. Holdings under 100 acres were described as farms, those over 100 acres as plantations, and those over 1000 acres as manors.

Defects and defect costs in construction - a study of seven building projects in Sweden
In this paper, results from a study of defects occurring on construction sites are presented. Seven building projects were monitored during the production phase. 2,879 defects were collected, analysed and fully described. Their cost corresponds to 4.4% of the production cost. The time to correct them corresponds to 7% of the total working time. The defects are further analysed according to origin, type and position, as well as according to element of building and activity. Most defects could be ascribed to design and to production management. Common defect types were lack of coordinating design work, mistakes in production planning, erroneous workmanship and late deliveries. The defect cost was high in roofs and in concrete drilling. The possibility to reduce the cost of defects is discussed.

People who participate avidly in a club or group are seriously involved, and if you avidly follow college basketball, you're a huge fan and watch as many games as you can. Doing things avidly means really throwing yourself into the spirit of things. Avidly comes from its related adjective, avid, or "having enthusiasm for something," from the Latin avidus, "longing, desirous, or greedy," from the root avere, "to desire eagerly."

text: A fingernail imaging has been shown to be effective in estimating the finger pad forces along all three directions simultaneously in previous works. However, this method has never been used for the purpose of force measurement during a grasping task with multiple fingers. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the grasp force-sensing capabilities of the fingernail imaging method integrated with a visual servoing robotic system. In this study, the fingernail imaging method has been used in both constrained and unconstrained multi-digit grasping studies. Visual servoing has been employed to solve the issue of keeping fingernail images in the field of view of the camera during grasping motions. Two grasping experiments have been designed and conducted to show the performance and accuracy of the fingernail imaging method to be used in grasping studies. The maximum value of root-mean-square (RMS) errors for estimated normal and shear forces during constrained grasping has been found to be 0.58 N (5.7%) and 0.49 N (9.2%), respectively. Moreover, a visual servoing system implemented on a 6-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) robot has been devised to ensure that all of the fingers remain in the camera frame at all times. Comparing unconstrained and constrained forces has shown that force collaboration among fingers could change based on the grasping condition.

The Rosa Porrino is a pink coloured granite from Spain that is a reference granite all over the world. The Rosa Porrino has set the standards for pink coloured granites and opened a large market for this type of granites. Today, there are similar granites from different origins being commercialized all over the world, but the Rosa Porrino will still remain a pioneer for this type of granite.
Due to its fame and international recognition, this granite has taken several different names according to each supplier, market, project, etc. We present below some of these alternative names that identify the Spanish Rosa Porrino:
- Rosa Porrinho: the Portuguese name for the Rosa Porrino granite. There is a variation of the Rosa Porrino being extracted in Portugal.
- Porrino Pink: the English name for the Rosa Porrino granite, it is common to use this name on English speaking countries.
- Spanish Pink granite: a generalist name to describe the Rosa Porrino granite. If we talk about Spanish pink granite, we normally refers to its main reference: the Rosa Porrino
- Porrino granite: simply known as Porrino granite. Porrino is the town nearby where the Rosa Porrino granite quarries are located.

Poll: Parents want kids to avoid political careers

Poll: Parents want kids to avoid political careers
(CNN) – Parents often dream about their child's future, but a career in politics seems more like a nightmare to many.
Nearly two-thirds–64%–of Americans would not like their child to pursue a political career, compared to 31% who think that would be a good path, according to a Gallup survey released Friday.
That number has remained relatively consistent since Gallup began asking about sons and daughters in 1993. Those who approved of a career in politics for their child have fluctuated between 61% and 71%.
With the country recovering from a bitter presidential campaign and with the approval ratings of Congress hovering just above 10%, it's no surprise that parents want their children to avoid one of the least-liked professions among Americans.
A Gallup survey released last month showed Congress ranking last among 16 society institutions in terms of confidence levels from the American people. The military placed first, small business came in second, church and organized religion came in third and the presidency came in fourth.
Breaking it down by demographics, nonwhites are much more likely than whites to say they would like to see their child go into politics, according to Gallup. By a margin of 42% to 26%, nonwhites say they'd like their son to have a political career, and 45% to 25% say they'd like their daughter to do the same.
There is little difference between ideologies, though Democrats and independents are slightly more likely than Republicans to want their child to go into politics. Men are also a little bit more likely than women to want their sons and daughters to choose a politically-related career.
Interestingly, the numbers significantly change according to the order of the questions. Americans are much more likely to say they want their daughter or son to go into politics when they're asked about a daughter first. Thirty-seven percent say they'd like to see their daughter go into politics; when followed up with a question about a son going into politics, an equal amount say they would like that kind of future for their son.
However, when Gallup switched up the order and asked about a son first, the number of those wanting to see a son go into politics drops 12 percentage points to 25%. When asked about a daughter next, 26% said they would like their daughter to go into politics–also a sharp decrease.
Thirty-one percent marks the average of both genders when considering the order of the questions. Gallup says the answering trend has been consistent in the past.
"This suggests that Americans may be interpreting the question as one about gender equality when asked about a daughter first, and therefore that makes them more likely to favor a political career for their children of either sex," read a release that came with the poll. "When asked about a son first, Americans may interpret the question as more straightforward one about the desirability of a political career and are less likely to favor it for either a son or daughter in that circumstance."
While Gallup started asking about daughters in 1993, the polling institution has been questioning Americans about sons since 1944. Curiously, the number of those wanting to see their son go into politics has changed little since then, when it stood at 21%. The highest point ever was in 1965, when 36% said they wanted to see their son go into politics. This was a time when "Americans were still rallying around President Johnson after he took office following the death of John F. Kennedy," the release stated.
Gallup surveyed 2,048 American adults by telephone from June 20-24, with a sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.

 The problem is with the question. Nobody should ever consider a "career" in politics, that's part of the problem with politics, and why there should be term limits.

 I would love for my child to have a career in politics. He can get paid $200,000 a year for doing nothing. I would tell him to ask for a raise everytime he need to take a vacation.

 You need consistency in politics,just like any other job. By the time you get good and develope relationships that cross the aisle.....you're gone because of some arbitrary time limit. No thanks. To much turmoil. Stop the moving of district lines to suit whoever is in power and we will get a fairer representation!

 That would also apply to the legal profession, then, as the corruption of politics comes directly from the corruption of the legal profession.
 The perfect example, resides in the WH, at this moment.

 I wouldn't mind my kids going into politics. I would like to be there to help them out as best I could hoping I wouldn't be a liability to them (weird dad who hopes that science and rational thinking guides policy). I don't think that they would only because they (and I) don't have the money for it. It takes too much money to run for office; even the local races cost too much.

 Well of course I wouldn't my kids to go into politics. When they are adults, I would hope they act would like adults.

What Does Pull the Plug Mean?
Pull the Plug Meaning
Definition: To terminate a project, end support, or remove a person from medical life support.
Origin of Pull the Plug Meaning
The word plug in this idiom refers to the device at the end of a power cord that makes an electrical connection with an outlet. It usually has two or three metal prongs on the end, which go into the outlet holes.
Therefore, the literal meaning of pull the plug is simply to unplug something. For example, to pull the plug is to remove the power cord of an electronic device from the outlet.
The first figurative usage, meaning to terminate a project or to withdraw support, originated around the 1940s.
Another figurative usage, meaning to take a person off of life support, originated a little later, in the 1960s.
Both senses of the idiom show the clear connection between cutting off electrical power and cutting off support.
Using pull the plug to describe removing a person from life support is insensitive. For that reason, you should not use it if you are trying to be sympathetic. People often use it as a way to argue that a person should remain on life support, because in their opinion, pulling the plug would be cruel.
Examples of Pull the Plug Meaning
pull the plug offIn the following example, two friends are discussing a sick family member.
Kerry: I'm worried that Aunt Bessie will never come out of the coma.
Christine: Well, I think you might be right. The doctors said that if she were going to wake up, it would be sooner rather than later. It's been a week already. Her health is getting worse instead of better.
Kerry: Are you saying that we should just give up on her?
Christine: No, but she never wanted to be on life support. She had a DNR (do not resuscitate) order.
Kerry: So we should just pull the plug?
Christine: Don't think of it that way. Think of it as following her last wishes.
pull the plug onIn this dialogue, two friends are discussing the organization they both work for.
Arlena: I have bad news. The Environmental Defense Group might not exist for much longer.
Nyima: Why not?
Arlena: The group's biggest financial supporter is pulling the plug on funding. The group won't be able to afford to operate after that.
More Examples
The example below is about some people who provide funding for football teams and how they don't like the players to protest politically.
 - Many brokers and bankers — some of whom are also military veterans — have threatened to pull the plug on pro football for not reining in players who are using the American national anthem as an opportunity to protest by taking the knee. –New York Post
This excerpt is from an article about a woman who wrote a book about a magazine that she ran.
 - Brown ran Vanity Fair from 1983 to 1992. In the early days, the magazine struggled mightily, and she had to plead with S.I.Newhouse to give her a few more issues and not pull the plug. –New York Post
The phrase pull the plug means to suddenly stop supporting something, to end a project, or to allow someone who is being kept alive by machines to die.

The Japanese do not just dream of perfect ski slopes, they are developing the technology to produce them.
Six Japanese companies have carried out 'extensive research' to provide artificial snow for Japan's skiers when nature fails to fill the need (European patents 440 256 and 440 257).
Existing snow machines only work properly at very low ambient temperatures; otherwise they just produce slush. The new trick is to use granules of polymer, such as polyacrylic acid salts, which absorb a large volume of water. The snow makers then mix the bloated polymer with natural snow, if available, or other artificial snow. Finally they freeze the mixture.
Ice bridges form between the polymer granules and snow crystals to make good snow for skiing. The companies have tried colouring the snow with dyes and adding perfume, so that the snow smells nice as well as looking good.

text: This paper shows the inverter carrier frequency effects to the vibration on a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) by measurements and simulations. A coupling analysis between a circuit simulator and an FEA is used to analyze the flux density which the carrier harmonics are included in the air gap. The vibration analysis is carried out by using that flux density in the air gap, the vibration around the carrier frequency can be analyzed. Adding that, the experiment which is both the tracking analysis and the mode analysis is carried out to confirm the analysis results. As a result, the vibration frequency and also vibration mode around the carrier frequency are confirmed and these results can be used for the low vibration motor design.


Thixotropic Index (TI)
Definition - What does Thixotropic Index (TI) mean?
This is a ratio between the slow speed viscosity to the high speed viscosity of a non-Newtonian body. It is obtained from dividing the viscosity number at low speed by the viscosity number at high speed of a given fluid. It therefore defines how well the fluid will hang or resist sagging under gravity.
It is used to indicate the ability of a paint or coating to hold shape-stiff and non-sagging when rebuilding; aids in choosing an epoxy in accordance to the application, dispense method and viscosity of a material.
Corrosionpedia explains Thixotropic Index (TI)
Non-Newtonian fluids are known to have a low viscosity when stirred at high speed and high viscosity at low speeds. In these fluids, the energy required to move then is not directly equal to the speed applied. At rest, the fluid will not flow, but when subjected to shear or pressure, it flows easily as the agitation increase. A fluid is thixotropic when the apparent viscosity is recovered when the shearing is removed; the recovery is time-dependent—viscosity decreases gradually with time.
The thixotropic index is obtained by measuring the viscosity of a fluid at room or ambient temperature. The viscometer is used to measure the viscosity at two speeds (one is a multiple or a factor of 10 of the other). From the viscosity results, the product is obtained by dividing the viscosity at lowest speed by the viscosity at the highest speed.

Fruit Carving Exhibit
Many believe that fruit carving originated in China during the Tang Dynasty, which lasted from AD 618-906. Fruit carving in China usually features legendary creatures and animals and is used to tell stories. Not only is fruit carving used in cultural and traditional ceremonies, but also ordinary households are known for decorating plates with fruit carvings when they have guests over.
Artist Shirley Chiu is a self-taught creative carving artist, and her work has accumulated to over 200 distinct art pieces, including fruit carving, vegetable carving and soap carving. She has been invited to present her artwork at various social and community events throughout the Phoenix area.

Hide the date from the taskbar in Windows 7
By default, Windows 7 displays the date next to the time in the notification area of the taskbar (system tray). This used to be the case with previous versions of Windows when you resized the taskbar to a large enough height to allow enough space to show the date, and even the day of the week. In this tutorial, we will show you how to hide the date from the Windows 7 taskbar, without having to hide the time! This means that you will keep the system clock, but only show the time, without a date.
Note that this tutorial assumes that you want to hide the date from the taskbar, but that you still want to keep the time showing in the notification area; if this is not the case, Windows 7 lets you show or hide the clock altogether, and completely remove it from the taskbar.
Show only time in taskbar, no date
To hide the date from the taskbar, follow these steps:
- Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar, and choose "Properties"
- Windows 7 will open the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" window
- Make sure that the Taskbar tab is selected
- When, as is the case by default, Windows 7 uses "Large Icons" in the taskbar, it makes your taskbar higher, as shown on the screenshot below:
- In the Taskbar properties window, check the "Use small icons" checkbox
- Now, click Apply to preview the change; Windows 7 will make the icons smaller, and at the same time make the taskbar itself smaller. As you noticed, the taskbar no longer displays the date, but it still displays the time:
- And, best of all, even if the date is now hidden from the taskbar, you can still see it by moving your mouse cursor above the clock, and leave it there for a second or so:
And this is all it takes to hide the date from the Windows 7 taskbar! You can at any time get the date by moving your mouse above the system clock, or by quickly resizing (temporarily) the taskbar, to get not only the date, but also the day of the week:
Tip: you can also view a full month calendar in the taskbar (instead of just a simple day or date), by giving a single click on the system clock. Some older versions of Windows used to accept a double-click, which would show the full date and time settings, but since Windows Vista you have this mini built-in calendar, right in your taskbar.up ↑
