Peninsula of volcanic origin.
Great place to stop and take pictures in south Iceland. The road to get there is a bit bumpy, but worth the view.
A storm was approaching when we went, so it was very windy (the kind of windy that car doors come off in) and rainy, so it wasn't too much fun getting outside, but it had a great view and was very beautiful
This place is stunning, as for everywhere else in Iceland. I went during sunset around 8-9pm. There were two other people there. I feel that made my experience much better, however from the high point you are unable to see the complete arch. At least where I was at, but to look and see the black sand beaches made it...
The views from the fork on the right are better and there is a lighthouse. When we went it was very cold and windy.
This place is absolutely beautiful. You go on top of this mount where you can see far into the distance - on one side, below bird-nesting cliffs, you see a long stretch of pitch-black-sand beach, the water looks silver because of the reflecting sky. At a distance you see the glaciers, Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull. To the other side, you see...
It was extremely windy when we visited, but so beautiful! The wind pounded huge waves onto the rocks, trying to blow us over in the process. Only a handful of us were there, so it was easy to get some fabulous photos. Beautiful sea stacks.
A bit of a tricky drive up the hill but okay in a car. Very windy when we went. Lots of seabirds. Dont need too long for a visit.
What a wow viewpoint. Beware of the high winds of course, but well worth driving to this point. Just incredible.
It is a short distance from the road. The view of the black beach and the sea stacks is amazing. You can only see one of the arches from this vantage point.
It's worth the side trip from the Black Beach to get a closer view of this wonderful rock forms. There are 2 bonuses. The rock cliffs beside have a variety of birds. Soon puffins will come back to nest. Also you can see the remains of concrete standards with a large lock where they used to fasten boats in days...
If visiting in July, any guess on the chance of seeing puffins here? Good time of time, if there is one? Is there any other spots to try to catch a glimpse of one between Keflavik and Vik?
Hi, we will be in Iceland in a few weeks and I was looking at the map to get to Dyrholaey. I can see that when I am going on Rt 1 I would turn on to Rt 218, but then it looks like Rt 218 splits. One map I looked at showed staying to the left side of the fork in the road and another map is saying to turn to the right when it splits. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks for any help.
hello geraldine
how were you able to reserve a stay at the lighthouse?
Hi Geraldine,
How do you go about booking a stay at the Lighthouse. I have searched everywhere online and do not see any options for an overnight stay inside the lighthouse. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
At this time of the year. Is it possible to to take the bus from Reykjavik to Vik as a day trip. Any suggestions? Any inputs will be greatly appreciated

3 Days in Chicago
What to do Your First Time to Chicago
Budget Chicago
A small sushi only restaurant that is all about the food. No glitz or glamour. Just perfectly prepared and fresh sushi.
I always have doubts about new restaurants, but this one was great! The food came out quick, the service was great, and the meal was very reasonably priced. We tried a lot of the different rolls and some pickles and gyoza. There was only one thing I really didn't care for, and with trying a lot of different things, that...
My boyfriend and I decided to search for sushi spots on TripAdvisor. This place has some great reviews. I'd say I was pleased with my overall experience. There is limited seating, like way limited, but it never got super packed where people had to stand and wait to be seated. The place was clean. When we were there, there was...
The place is small but it is very cozy. Service is good and the food is great, best maki rolls I´ve had in a long time! The price is affordable, next time I go back to Chicago, I will definitely visit this place.
The food was wonderful. The staff was wonderful. And the price point was great considering the location. I will for sure be back next time I'm in the area.
A small restaurant with limited seating we were lucky to get a table as it filled up very quickly. I was extremely excited by the excellent selection of sushi and other dishes & found it tough to limit my selections but I decided to go all out and tried a selection since prices were so reasonable.
After a full hour...
I loved the spicy california rolls and the Philadelphia rolls - one of the best sushi ever! You can bring your own alcoholic drinks!
Great sushi crunchy roll to die for! Very small inside great for carry out. Super nice staff and very quick service!
They also have byob
This is a small restaurant, just a few steps from the Lincoln Park Zoo. If you are in the neighborhood, it is a great option for lunch or dinner.
I love walking throughout the door. A pleasant waitress seats me and takes the order. Three sushi chefs are always relaxed and smiling, no matter how busy the place may be....
My wife and I took our family to the Zoo in Lincoln Park. Afterward a great visit, we used YELP to locate a sushi restaurant near by...thus visiting Green Tea Restaurant! The dining room is small with NO atmosphere. We had to wait, finally sitting at the sushi counter. Our Sushi Rolls were good but nothing special. Their BEST ROLL...

Hottie McHot-Hot or Jayden Jaymes (AKA Jayden James, Michele Lee), wait; I think I got those two mixed up. Can you blame me? Look at those tits. They're HUGE. Let's start over. Miss Jaymes has got one of the nicest pairs of tits and hottest asses in the adult film industry. Seriously, how perfect are those sweater puppies. She's actually a super nice girl in real life and her heart is as big as her tits. Jayden Jaymes is a regular on Brazzers.com so you know she's on top of her game. Although she only started doing hardcore porn in 2007, this chick is anything but an amateur. You can keep track of Jayden Jaymes on her blog where you can see her in behind the scenes and real life situations like getting her gigantically perfect tits and beautifully tight pussy molded to become fuck toys. She also posts a bunch of pictures of herself and her friends like Phoenix Marie and Scott Nails on the site. It's an understatement to say that Miss Jaymes is a shrewd marketing machine… just like her pussy.

|Thinking About Your Major
Many students think that they should know what their major will be before they enter college. The opposite is true. You may know that you are interested in the humanities or sciences but keep in mind that colleges offer courses in subjects not offered in high schools. College is likely to be the first chance you will have to study anthroplogy, philosophy or environmental science to name just a few college courses.
In the front pages of the Barron's guide you will find a quick, helpful guide to majors. If you think you would like to go into business, you will find a list of majors that people in business might study such as accounting and marketing. Barron's will also list the kind of courses you will have to take as well as what interests people who chose this major might have.

My family love this delicious banana cake with chocolate chips and a decadent chocolate icing. The cake is egg-free and if you use margarine even vegan.
Previously frozen bananas work well for this recipe, so if you have any bananas which go too ripe and are not going to be eaten, freeze them to keep for this recipe.

We were wondering what that inflatable pouch of flesh under Charlie Falconer's chin was called. A craw? A crop? A gullet? The camera puts on 10lb as we know. In Charlie's case it puts on 20. And it all goes into that pendulous Sidney Greenstreet gizzard that wobbles like an udder under his chin.
It works to best effect when he offers reasons for not saying anything. He shakes his head slightly, and it discharges whole sentences, such as: I don't think I know the answer to that. May I send the committee a note on that? I think it would be unhelpful for me to go into detail on that. It would be inappropriate of me to say. That is a matter for the local councils. I don't know, but you can look it up on our website.
These responses were all in evidence as he faced sharp questioning from the Local Government Select Committee. Lord Falconer of Thoroton committed himself to greater clarity and more transparency. That's what government's about.
So, Chris Grayling asked, what is happening about the Dome? Is it going to be sold in two lots? The land separate from the building? "Ah. That's best served without publicity," he explained. A running commentary "wouldn't be helpful". Priceless.
John Cummings noted that his whole regeneration strategy depended on engaging the public. "But what if the public doesn't want to be engaged?" he asked irritably. It's hard to say how refreshing it was to hear such a question. "All these initiatives!" he went on. "At times I think we're in danger of smothering ourselves!"
In committee, Tory James Gray once memorably described Lord Falconer's departmental efforts (on the Regional Co-ordination Unit, from memory) as "bullshit". Mr Cummings, being a Labour member, wouldn't use such language but the thought was plainly there.
"How many public meetings discussing stock transfers have you attended?" Gwyneth Dunwoody asked, unhelpfully. The wobble wobbled and something started to come out. "No," Mrs Dunwoody interrupted, "public meetings! Do you know how many people attend stock transfer meetings?" The answer, essentially, was three. Lord Falconer's crop throbbed.
Christine Russell asked if he believed that every neighbourhood could be renewed, and if not, why bother with the ones that couldn't? Evil question. The gizzard shivered.
The Urban Summit. Won't it just be a talking shop? No, no, no. It will spread best practice. Identify international experience. Agree proposals for the way forward.
But will it be evaluated? Yes, yes. An independent research contract had just been let. By the Urban Policy Unit. We're in safe hands, you see.
Occasionally we get these glimpses of the depths of the essential powerlessness of the country's most powerful people. It wouldn't matter, except that these regeneration projects add up in a cross- cutting, over-arching sort of way to £9bn of public money, and an equally large amount of political capital.
And then, suddenly you see that no one actually knows what the dickens is going on.Reuse content

Project: In-Symmetry Wellness Spa | San Francisco
My clients came to me with complaints of a nit-picky clientele, a disjointed feeling in the space, & the need for a higher professional aesthetic to match their new pricing structure. The space had loads of natural light but the design felt too dorm-room. It's okay to have some furniture pieces from Ikea but it all has to flow and your seating has to be top-notch.
- Owners, clients and practitioners overwhelmingly love the new space
- Nit picky clients went from 25% of clientele to zero within two weeks of design installation
- Without expanding the footprint, the new design radically opened up the space, allowing for more comfortable seating and feelings of intensified spaciousness
- Revenue has increased by 66.7% during the slow summer vacation season
- Higher level of professional aesthetic achieved
… Revenue has increased by 66.7% during the slow summer vacation season
The results of Cheryl's design have been insanely positive. Our perspective on the business has become more confident and we are seeing an immediate increase in revenue too!
The new design has helped us level up in every way. Clients respect us more while visibly feeling more relaxed and cared for. Staff morale and job satisfaction have gone way up. Practitioners tell me they feel proud to work here.
The best part is the greater confidence my business partner and I feel about expanding to a second location, which will happen in mid 2017.Candace Combs
Project: Earth Friendly Medicine | Portland
My design for a new Naturopathic Physician's office takes into account every detail of the patient's emotional and physical experience.
The healing space boasts tall ceilings and well-defined areas for doctor/patient intake, exam/treatment zone, storage and specialty tea offerings.
… Cheryl understands the dynamics of a healing space
My goal was to establish a calming aesthetic with a practical workflow. Cheryl helped me reach that goal when she redesigned the space. Now, the feel & flow of my office make it so easy to spend time in. I'm a busy practitioner and I love being here!Michelle Winchell, ND | LAc
Project: Marin Natural Medicine | Larkspur
My redesign of Marin Natural Medicine Clinic included the Infusion Bay where patients receive IV treatments for various health conditions.
New wall and ceiling colors combined with a seven-foot wide living wall and new recliner chairs create a serene and restorative environment for this patient-centered practice.
… I was concerned about the potential cost
I knew a patient-centered design of our clinic's facility played an important role in improved health outcomes and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't require as much budget as I'd thought.
Cheryl's focus on creating an exceptional experience for the patient sets her apart from other designers.Todd Maderis, ND | LAc
Project: Canyon Manor | Mental Health Rehabilitation Center | Novato
Richard Evatz, Executive Director of Canyon Manor Mental Health Rehabilitation Center, hired me to consult on the interior design of the facility. The challenge was to transform a 30 year-old outdated design into an emotionally uplifting, soothing and healing environment for everyone.
I selected new interior wall and ceiling colors to replace the original colors and wall coverings from the late 1970's, and an exterior color palette. I sourced Evidence-Based art, and selected new materials for door kicks, handrails and chairs for the building which houses 35 two and three-bed resident rooms, a dining room, and several multi-purpose rooms for therapy, classes, and recreational activities.
In addition, I recommended the installation of a garden labyrinth which has been shown to help people working through grief and loss, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual abuse, and substance abuse.
… Cheryl is a treasure. She has a great command of design and color elements that would benefit anyone interested in meeting their business and therapeutic goals in a healthcare setting.
In the thirty years I've worked here, this is the very first time there has been an overall consensus among staff and clients on how much everyone loves the new wall colors and artwork.
Clients stop me in the hallway with comments like, "I love the artwork. The images help me find my place in the Universe" and point out their favorites. Others have shared how our large nature-art photography throughout the facility is a portal into very peaceful natural spaces.
Our staff reports the new artwork is a positive distraction for clients seeking to find relief from what's going on around them and how good it feels to be in the space.Richard Evatz
Project: The Vital Compass | Portland
This industrial space saw seven businesses come and go over a two-year period before my clients hired me to help them with the design of their new Acupuncture clinic and Chinese herb pharmacy.
The business has been flourishing in this location for three years now and growth continues.
… We have a thriving business, and people comment daily on how beautiful the space is
Hiring Cheryl was some of the best money ever spent. I know our business would not have taken off nearly as quickly without the design element she helped us put in place. Everything about the space makes you want to be there, and it's great for business.Alison Loercher, LAc
Project: Yoga Omazing | Beaverton
The first day I met with my client in what would become his new (and successful) second floor yoga studio, he shared that not once had he ever taken a yoga class.
The build-out of the studio included the important consideration of colors, materials, furnishings, artwork and the yoga student's experience in the space.
For the largest yoga room, I chose a color palette that helped to both anchor the room and compliment the abundance of natural light that flooded through the windows.
… Visitors say they have a hard time leaving
In a very non self-promoting way, Cheryl told me color was one of her gifts. If I base all the compliments I've had on our colors here in the studio, I have no doubt about that. Cheryl's work has resulted in visitors saying they have a hard time leaving the studio because it has such a warm, nurturing feel. And I have the pleasure of working in this space every day.Michael Roteik
Project: Mt. Tabor Veterinary Care | Portland
The upstairs loft expansion of my client's booming Veterinary boutique practice included the build-out of her new office. Soothing lavender walls represent the higher chakras–symbolic of her leadership qualities–and add a calming element to her very busy days. The desk is in the power position–diagonal to the door and in full view of the room–and symbolically says, "I'm open to the world and the world is open to me."
… A beautiful, comfortable, healing space
Working with Cheryl was a breath of fresh air. During the difficult and very busy time of completing our veterinary clinic, Cheryl was there to offer help in new wall color selection, furniture and accessory choices and space planning. She was a grounding element that helped me look deeper at what we were creating. She didn't tell me the latest fads. Instead she listened to me and understood my vision and helped me create what I really wanted – a beautiful, comfortable healing space for pets and their families.Kristin Sulis DVM
Project: Dr. Carmen Ripley ND
The design goal of this Naturopathic Physician's office was to reduce my client's stress. I selected a dark rich chocolate wall paint, new lighting, a oversized double drapery window treatment, and a comfortable sofa to enhance the feelings of safety and comfort. New space planning created separate areas for an exam table, and an area for private patient/doctor conversations.
… My patients & I feel more relaxed
After Cheryl redesigned my large office and treatment room, my patients felt more relaxed while discussing their health conditions. I also noticed an increased trust among patients in me and higher receptivity in recommended treatment plans. I went from feeling completely overwhelmed and overworked in my space to feeling much calmer and more balanced.Dr. Carmen Ripley, ND

Inside naru programming language
This is a draft implementation note for naru programming language, a general-purpose programming language designed by Kang Seonghoon. This article serves as a design document for both naru standard library and runtime for naru implementation.
This document is available as both a standalone document and a wiki page. The recent changes are available in Mercurial repository.
1 Prelude
naru in a nutshell document describes that
naru core module is implicitly imported before every naru source code is run. This is only partially true; it is among first modules to be run, but it is definitely not the first one to be run. The main reason is that the naru runtime is very complex, and typically divided into lots of modules. (By the way, the internal pieces of runtime are due to be located at
_narurt package.)
The prelude (
_narurt prelude module) is a part of the naru runtime that bootstraps basic types and initializes built-in operators. Due to its duty, it is automatically imported by
import naru core * statement and also the very first module to be run. Since no value is available before the prelude runs, the prelude constructs the very first values during its lifetime; it is possible using the vendor-specific pragma or the external module. These values are truly ethereal (i.e. exempted or invisible from the garbage collector) and cannot be destroyed.
1.1 Bootstrapping Types
The prelude constructs the following types:
1.2 Built-in Operators
It is very important to realize that naru does not have operators like
* and so on by default. In fact, the core language only supports the function call, and all operators are desugared into sequences of more primitive function calls. For example, the following code:
quadraticRootOf(a, b, c) := fun
det = b**2 - 4*a*c
if det < 0 then
return {/} -- no real solutions
elseif det > 0 then
rootdet = det**(1/2)
return {(-b+rootdet)/(2*a), (-b-rootdet)/(2*a)}
return {-b/(2*a)}
…is really desugared into the following form:
quadraticRootOf##FSSS_S(a:*, b:*, c:*)->* := fun
det:* = #-#(#**#(b, 2), #*#(#*#(4, a), c))
given #<#(det, 0)
case True
set0##V:Set{*} = Set##M _empty()
return set0##V
case False
given #>#(det, 0)
case True
rootdet:* = #**#(det, #/#(1, 2))
set1##V:Set{*} = Set##TS_ _singleton(#/#(#+#(-#(b), rootdet), #*#(2, a)))
set1##V _add(#/#(#-#(-#(b), rootdet), #*#(2, a)))
return set1##V
case False
set2##V:Set{*} = Set##TS_ _singleton(#/#(-#(b), #*#(2, a)))
return set2##V
2 Memory Management
While hidden to the typical naru code, the memory management in naru is fully implemented in naru itself.
2.1 Garbage Collection
3 Numbers Internal
3.1 Integers
4 Collections Internal
4.1 String
_narurt string implements the
String class and its companion,
Symbol class. It is by far the most complex data structure in naru standard library (compared to its conceptual simplicity).
Internally the string and symbol share the same internal data structure,
_StringTree; only the public interface differs between them. As the name suggests it is a heavyweight string (rope), implemented as a tree of short strings. Each node stores the length of that portion of string along with its children, so the indexing is O(log n) time (compared to the constant time for normal string). The same portion of the tree is shared, even when the explicit copy is made; when the change is made to the copy new tree is constructed so that as much portions of the original tree as possible is shared (i.e. copy-on-write scheme). TODO pointers to the next or previous leaves can be used if we split the leaf node and actual storage, at the expense of a copy of the entire tree (without expansion of shared parts!); i doubt its value however.
A rope is used because most disadvantages of the rope, namely slower indexing, are not a concern for most use cases. The direct indexing on a Unicode string is not useful since a Unicode code point is not same to a character; even when the code point is needed, most use cases requires the iteration of the whole string which is just as efficient as a normal string. It also has an advantage that UTF–8-encoded string can be stored as is; the verification is still required, but it is much faster than the full decoding. Finally, various algorithms on Unicode strings can be optimized using a rope.
Nodes. There are four kinds of leaves in the
_FlatString1, an array of one-byte code points. Can only represent U+0000..U+00FF, and directly maps to bytes encoded in ISO 8859–1. The empty string is a special case of this leaf.
_FlatString2, an array of two-byte code points. Can only represent U+0000..U+FFFF, and directly maps to bytes encoded in UCS–2 with a native byte order.
_FlatString4, an array of four-byte code points. Directly maps to bytes encoded in UTF–32 with a native byte order.
_FlatUTF8, a UTF–8-encoded bytes. The bytes should be a valid and complete UTF–8 string.
There are two kinds of non-leaf nodes in the
_ConcatStringis a concatenation of two strings. Repetition is represented as several concatenations, with a depth proportional to a logarithm of the repeating number.
_Substringis a substring of the other string.
Additional node informations. Each node contains the following informations. Some informations can be uninitialized on the construction of the string, and will be recalculated in-place during the traversal.
- The length of given string. The recalculation of this attribute only takes place in
- The normalization statuses of given string. There are 4 such statuses (NFC, NFD, NKFC, NFKD), and each status can be one of UNKNOWN, YES, NO and MAYBE. The first indicates an absence of testing, and the last indicates a quick check (see UAX #15 for details) did not answer the status definitely.
- The flags for lower and uppercase. (Titlecase is not used since it is not preserved over the concatenation.) Each flag can be one of UNKNOWN, YES and NO.
- Copy-on-write flag. When this flag is set, any change on that node and its subtrees should copy that node (and subsequent subnodes affected); the flag in the original node is reset then.

Nintendo has announced that classic N64 Legend of Zelda game Majora's Mask is to be remade for Nintendo 3DS, revisiting the "intense and scary memories" of the original.
The notoriously surreal and challenging instalment was a hit on the N64 though many missed out on it as it required an expansion pack.
You can catch up on an important chapter in Zelda history when the revamped version is released in Spring 2015 however, with Nintendo president Satoru Iwata making the announcement through Nintendo Direct last night.
"This dark departure from the Zelda formula must have left some intense and scary memories in player's minds," he said. "As we worked on the remade version, we set out to maintain the original level of challenge while keeping the game accessible for anyone."
There are no specific details of what will be changed from the original, though a trailer was released showing (slightly) improved graphics and revisiting some old favourite characters.
Nintendo is fond of improving on its existing Zelda games, having previously given The Wind Waker a beautiful new look on the Wii U.Reuse content

Umbrian is an extinct Italic language related to Latin that was spoken in Umbria in central Italy from about the 7th century to the 1st century BC.
Umbrian was written with an alphabet derived from Etruscan in the earliest inscriptions, which date from the 7th century BC, and in the Latin alphabet in later inscriptions. There are about 30 known inscriptions in Umbrian which include details of religious ceremonies. The most extensive inscriptions are on tablets found in Iguvium (modern Gubbio). No Umbrian inscriptions are known later than 50 BC.

And The 2016 Word Of The Year Is…
The American Dialect Society's pick for the Word of the Year 2016 is "dumpster fire".
Yep, that's right, it took an extremely intelligent and talented group of linguists lexicographers a full year to choose the Word of the Year, and they chose "dumpster fire".
In case you are wonder what "dumpster fire" actually means, here is the Oxford Dictionaries definition:
dumpster fire, noun: an exceedingly disastrous or chaotic situation
So, why did they pick "dumpster fire" as the word of the year? In The American Dialect Society's press release that said "As a metaphor for a situation that is out of control or poorly handled, dumpster fire came into prominence in 2016, very frequently in the context of the U.S. presidential campaign."
Not only did The American Dialect Society vote on the overall word of the year, but they also chose winning words in nine other categories like "Slang Word of the Year", "WTF Word of the Year" and "Hashtag of the Year". You can check out the full list of winners on TIME Magazine's website.
Congrats, dumpster fire, 2016 was definitely your year. But, I'm not going to lie, I'm really hoping 2017 is a "dumpster fire"-less year, I don't need another year of exceedingly disastrous or chaotic situations.

Leaf Water Adjustment and Maintenance in Hard Red Winter Wheat
- R. W. Gesch,
- D. G. Kenefick and
- J. A. Koepke
Tissue water content is an important determinant in freeze survival of winter wheat. Research was conducted to measure the variation in tissue water retention during drought stress of hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars differing in potential for freeze resistance expression but without induction by cold acclimation. Tissue water status was determined on Leaf 3 of several cultivars grown in a greenhouse. The plant growth period was 20 d, followed by drought stress imposed by withholding water. Water, solute, pressure potentials, cell volumetric modulus, and osmotic adjustment evaluations were determined using the pressure volume technique. Osmotic adjustment was attributed to carbohydrate accumulation by evaluating solute potential of plants grown at varied durations of natural daylength. Greater tissue water retention was demonstrated for freeze-susceptible compared with freeze-resistant cultivars when subject to drought stress, in the absence of induction by cold acclimation. The significance of differential tissue water retention among these ecologically divergent cultivars could be related to an environmental sensing response, or a feature contributing directly to variance in freeze survival.

Farming of Brown
Trout - The basics
|Introduction to aquaculture
Ever since the over fishing of the oceans was fully realised, fish culture has increased dramatically all over the world. Different variations of farming methods can be employed and these depend wholly on the species of fish being produced. Systems range from open or non-intensive, involving little investment or labour to high intensity re-circulation systems, needing increased labour and high capital costs. Each system has their place in aquaculture either supplying food or stockfish to the community.
Their commercial importance is far from that of the rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus
mykiss) which is farmed heavily throughout Britain and Europe for
food. Although the brown trout is rarely farmed for the table there are
other important reasons for producing this species. With pleasure angling
being one of the largest participant sports in the United Kingdom, the
process of restocking will create a demand for brown trout throughout
the country. Recent figures show 74 sites in Great Britain produced approximately
478 tonnes of re-stockers and around 479000 fry per year (Weeks 1998).
There are subtle differences between the production of brown and rainbow
trout. The brown trout is used for restocking therefore the emphasis is
on quality not quantity and damage drastically reduces the value of the
product. Different rearing systems are used to try and combat this problem
commonly involving lower stocking densities.
Rearing Techniques
|It is important to remove dead eggs, as they attract disease, with fungus
being the most prominent. Dead eggs are white in colour and can be removed
with the help of pipettes.
Space can be difficult to find in hatcheries so incubation systems are employed to combat this problem. Instead of horizontal troughs, vertical stacks of trays can be used commonly refereed to as the Heath system. The trays are stacked on top of each other with the water being allowed to filter through them all. These systems can be used in conjunction with re-circulation units as long as the oxygen levels are monitored. It is possible to use this technique, as there are no excretory products from the eggs. Flow rates of 45m3/day is needed for a 16 tray Heath system (Sedgwick, 1990).
|The fry are fed with the smallest available food known as crumb, this
will take place twice a day. At this stage of production regular batch weighing
should take place and average weights gathered. This is important so accurate
feeding rates can be calculated as overfeeding is costly and creates an
unhealthy environment for the fry.
|Fingerling Growing on Systems
When the fry are removed from the hatchery they are allocated tanks as their new home. Although tanks can be constructed of steel, corrugated iron or concrete brown trout grown for the purpose of restocking will be put into fibreglass tanks. These tanks are the kindest of the growing systems, as sharp or rough edges do not occur. The fingerlings will usually go through two moves whilst they are young. Figure 5 shows the first stage of movement encountered by the young. These are tanks in the shape of large hatchery troughs, which can be managed easily and effectively. Many other species involved with aquaculture are released straight into ponds or small lakes for their next stage of growth. Brown trout are susceptible to a protozoan infection known as whirling disease, which is found in earth ponds and has a tendency to effect young fry before their bones have hardened. The use of clean fibreglass tanks lowers the risk of infection from this disease.
Once the fish are a sufficient size they can be moved into circular fibreglass tanks where the growing process is continued.
Earth Ponds, Design and Use
Through out the world many methods are used for the on growing of large fish. Popular systems include corrugated tanks and concrete raceways, but these methods are more commonly used in the table farming of rainbow trout. Dues to the quality expected when producing fish for restocking these methods are found to be unsatisfactory as scale loss and fin damage are common occurrences.
The earth pond system is ideal in the production of fish and has been used for centuries; the original users being the monks when growing carp (Cyprinus carpio) for food. The preference of the farmer or the space that is available at the site dictates the size of the earth ponds, but the larger they are the difficulty of management will increase. The soil must have good water holding qualities, as alternatives such as butyl liners are costly. The standard size is approximately 30m x 10m with a depth of 1m at the inlet tapering to 1.7m at the outlet, which creates a holding capacity of 1.5 tonnes of trout (Sedgwick 1990).
The site should be level and have a high water table, enough room should be left between the ponds for vehicle access. Deed areas with low dissolved oxygen can be created in the corners of the pond therefore aeration at the inlet preferably by natural means should reduce these problems. If this method is not feasible the dissolved oxygen levels can be supplemented by the pumping of air or liquid oxygen directly into the water. Figure 6 shows a small earth pond being used to grow on brown trout. Note the unusual square ends of the pond. The ideal pond will have tapering rounded walls, which aid the use of seine nets as a fish removal technique.

Thank you! I didn't expect the transfer but appreciate it all the same. I wonder if you might know how to find out something about the Tulare Cemetery. Raymond had an uncle, named Melvin Browne Thresher or Thrasher (it varies in the family), often called Brown or Brownie. Brown was born about 1879 and died in Tulare Nov 14, 1940 according to California death index. I suspect he is buried in the same cemetery but I can't find a record that supports that. Do you have a way of finding out?

RE: Grave #118866161
I'm embarrassed to say I don't know how. My cell phone takes good photos and I do know how to send photos to other phones or to email addresses. I have found many photos of deceased people on Find A Grave, but have the contributor add the photo.

"I went to the South Carolina and Alabama-Birmingham game [Saturday]," Thompson said. "I like the coaching staff at South Carolina and I think I could play early too. Those are the main reasons why they lead. I plan to take all my official visits before I decide though.
"I am not sure how much my parent's preference will affect my decision," he said. "We'll have to wait and see. I'm sure that they would accept whatever decision I would ultimately make."
Thompson's Sumter team is 4-0 after shutting out their opponent 42-0 romp last Friday. He already has already recorded eight pancake blocks this season.
"He has all the ability in the world," Sumter head coach Paul Sorrells said. "He is big, strong and fast. I don't think he even begins to know how good he could be. On top of that, he is a fine young man who is very polite. He's a class act all the way around."
Assistant coach Brad Lawing is Thompson's primary recruiter for UNC.

Information extraction from text Spring 2003, Part 3 Helena Ahonen-Myka
2 Information extraction from semi-structured text IE from Web pages HTML tags, fixed phrases etc. can be used to guide extraction IE from other semi-structured data e.g. email messages, rental ads, seminar announcements
3 WHISK Soderland: Learning information extraction rules for semi-structured and free text, Machine Learning, 1999
4 Semi-structured text (online rental ad) Capitol Hill - 1 br twnhme. Fplc D/W W/D. Undrgrnd Pkg incl $675. 3 BR, upper flr of turn of ctry HOME. incl gar, grt N. Hill loc $995. (206) 999-9999 (This ad last ran on 08/03/97.)
5 2 case frames extracted: Rental: Neighborhood: Capitol Hill Bedrooms: 1 Price: 675 Rental: Neighborhood: Capitol Hill Bedrooms: 3 Price: 995
6 Semi-structured text the sample text (rental ad) is not grammatical nor has a rigid structure we cannot use a natural language parser as we did before simple rules that might work for structured text do not work here
7 Rule representation WHISK rules are based on a form of regular expression patterns that identify the context of relevant phrases the exact delimiters of the phrases
8 Rule for number of bedrooms and associated price ID:: 1 Pattern:: * (Digit ) ' BR' * '$' ( Number ) Output:: Rental {Bedrooms $1}{Price $2} * : skip any number of characters until the next occurrence of the following term in the pattern (here: the next digit) single quotes: literal -> exact (case insensitive) match Digit: a single digit; Number: possibly multi-digit
9 Rule for number of bedrooms and associated price parentheses (unless within single quotes) indicate a phrase to be extracted the phrase within the first set of parentheses (here: Digit ) is bound to the variable $1 in the output portion of the rule if the entire pattern matches, a case frame is created with slots filled as labeled in the output portion if part of the input remains, the rule is re-applied starting from the last character matched before
10 2 case frames extracted: Rental: Bedrooms: 1 Price: 675 Rental: Bedrooms: 3 Price: 995
11 Disjunction The user may define a semantic class a set of terms that are considered to be equivalent Digit and Number are special semantic classes (built-in in WHISK) user-defined class: Bdrm = (brs|br|bds|bdrm|bd|bedrooms|bedroom|bed) a set does not have to be complete or perfectly correct: still it may help WHISK to generalize rules
12 Rule for neighborhood, number of bedrooms and associated price ID:: 2 Pattern:: *( Nghbr ) *( Digit ) ' ' Bdrm * '$' ( Number ) Output:: Rental {Neighborhood $1} {Bedrooms $2}{Price $3} assuming the semantic classes Nghbr (neighborhood names for the city) and Bdrm
13 IE from Web information agents extraction rules: wrappers learning of extraction rules: wrapper induction wrapper maintenance active learning unsupervised learning
14 Information agents data is extracted from a web site and transformed into structured format (database records, XML documents) the resulting structured data can then be used to build new applications without having to deal with unstructured data e.g., price comparisons challenges: thousands of changing heterogeneous sources scalability: speed is important -> no complex processing possible
15 What is a wrapper? a wrapper is a piece of software that can translate an HTML document into a structured form (~database tuple) critical problem: How to define a set of extraction rules that precisely define how to locate the information on the page? for any item to be extracted, one needs an extraction rule to locate both the beginning and end of the item extraction rules should work for all of the pages in the source
16 Learning extraction rules: wrapper induction adaptive IE learning from examples manually tagged: it is easier to annotate examples than write extraction rules how to minimize the amount of tagging or entirely eliminate it? active learning unsupervised learning
17 Wrapper induction system input: a set of web pages labeled with examples of the data to be extracted the user provides the initial set of labeled examples the system can suggest additional pages for the user to label output: a set of extraction rules that describe how to locate the desired information on a web page
18 Wrapper induction system after the system creates a wrapper, the wrapper verification system uses the wrapper to learn patterns that describe the data being extracted if a change is detected, the system can automatically repair a wrapper by using the same patterns to locate examples on the changed pages and re-running the wrapper induction system
19 Wrapper induction methods Kushmerick et al: LR and HLRT wrapper classes Knoblock et al: STALKER
20 Wrapper classes LR and HLRT Kushmerick, Weld, Doorenbos: Wrapper induction for information extraction, IJCAI –97 Kushmerick: Wrapper induction: Efficiency and expressiveness, Workshop on AI & Information integration, AAAI-98
21 LR (left-right) class a wrapper consists of a sequence of delimiter strings for finding the desired content in the simplest case, the content is arranged in a tabular format with K columns the wrapper scans for a pair of delimiters for each column total of 2K delimiters
22 LR wrapper induction the wrapper construction problem: input: example pages associated with each information resource is a set of K attributes, each representing a column in the relational model a tuple is a vector A 1, …, A K of K strings string A k is the value of tuple's k th attribute tuples represent rows in the relational model the label of a page is the set of tuples it contains
23 Some Country Codes Congo 242 Egypt 20 Belize 501 Spain 34 Example: country codes
24 Label of the example page {,, }
25 Execution of the wrapper: procedure ccwrap_LR 1. scan for the string l 1 = from the beginning of the document 2. scan ahead until the next occurrence of r 1 = 3. extract the text between these positions as the value of the 1 st column of the 1 st row 4. similarly: scan for l 2 = and r 2 = and extract the text between these positions as the value of the 2 nd column of the 1 st row 5. the process starts over again and terminates when l 1 is missing (= end of document)
ccwrap_LR (page P) while there are more occurrences in P of for each l k, r k in { , , , } scan in P to next occurrence of l k save position as start of k th attribute scan in P to next occurrence of r k save position as end of k th attribute return extracted pairs {..., country, code ,...}
27 General template generalization of ccwrap_LR: delimiters can be arbitrary strings any number K of attributes the values l 1, …, l K indicate the left- hand attribute delimiters the values r 1,…, r K indicate the right- hand delimiters
executeLR ( l 1,r 1 ,..., l K,r K , page P) while there are more occurrences in P of l 1 for each l k, r k in { l 1,r 1 ,..., l K,r K } scan in P to next occurrence of l k save position as start of next value A k scan in P to next occurrence of r k save position as end of next value A k return extracted tuples {..., A 1,...,A K ,...}
29 LR wrapper induction the behavior of ccwrap_LR can be entirely described in terms of four strings,,, the LR wrapper induction problem thus becomes one of identifying 2K delimiter strings l 1,r 1,...,l K,r K on the basis of a set E = {...,P n, L n,...} of examples
30 LR wrapper induction LR learning is efficient: the algorithm enumerates over potential values for each delimiter selects the first that satisfies a constraint that guarantees that the wrapper will work correctly on the training data the 2K delimiters can all be learned independently
31 Limitations of LR classes an LR wrapper requires a value for l 1 that reliably indicates the beginning of the 1 st attribute this kind of delimiter may not be available what if a page contains some bold text in the top that is not a country? it is possible that no LR wrapper exists which extracts the correct information -> more expressive wrapper classes
32 HLRT (head-left-right-tail) class of wrappers Some Country Codes Country Code List Congo 242 Egypt 20 Belize 501 Spain 34 End
33 HLRT class of wrappers HLRT (head-left-right-tail) class uses two additional delimiters to skip over potentially confusing text in either the head (top) or tail (bottom) of the page head delimiter h tail delimiter t in the example, a head delimiter h= could be used to skip over the initial at the top of the document -> l 1 = would work correctly
34 HLRT wrapper Some Country Codes Country Code List Congo 242 Egypt 20 Belize 501 Spain 34 End
35 HLRT wrapper labeled examples:,,,
ccwrap_HLRT (page P ) skip past first occurrence of in P while next is before next in P for each l k, r k in { , , , } skip past next occurrence of l k in P extract attribute from P to next occurrence of r k return extracted tuples
executeHLRT ( h, t, l 1, r 1,..., l K, r K , page P ) skip past first occurrence of h in P while next l 1 is before next t in P for each l k, r k in { l 1, r 1 ,..., l K, r K } skip past next occurrence of l k in P extract attribute from P to next occurrence of r k return extracted tuples
38 HLRT wrapper induction task: how to find the parameters h, t, l 1, r 1,..., l K, r K ? input: a set E = {..., P n, L n ,...} of examples, where each P n is a page and each L n is a label of P n output: a wrapper W such that W(P n ) = L n for every P n, L n in E
BuildHLRT(labeled pages E = {..., P n,L n ,...}) for k = 1 to K r k = any common prefix of the strings following each (but not contained in any) attribute k for k = 2 to K l k = any common suffix of the strings preceding each attribute k for each common suffix l 1 of the pages' heads for each common substring h of the pages' heads for each common substring t of the pages' tails if (a) h precedes l 1 in each of the pages' heads; and (b) t precedes l 1 in each of the pages' tails; and (c) t occurs between h and l 1 in no page's head; (d) l 1 doesn't follow t in any inter-tuple separator then return
40 Problems missing attributes multi-valued attributes multiple attribute orderings disjunctive delimiters nonexistent delimiters typographical errors and exceptions sequential delimiters hierarchically organized data
41 Problems Missing attributes complicated pages may involve missing or null attribute values if the corresponding delimiters are missing, a simple wrapper will not process the remainder of the page correctly a French e-commerce site might only specify the country in addresses outside France Multi-valued attributes a hotel guide might list the cities served by a particular chain, instead of giving pairs for each city
42 Problems Multiple attribute orderings a movie site might list the release date before the title for movies prior to 2003, but after the title for recent movies Disjunctive delimiters the same attribute might have several possible delimiters an e-commerce site might list prices with a bold face, except that discount prices are rendered in red
43 Problems Nonexistent delimiters the simple wrappers assume that some irrelevant background tokens separate the content to be extracted this assumption may be violated e.g. how can the department code be separated from the course number in strings such as COMP4016 and GEOL2001? Typographical errors and exceptions errors may occur in the delimiters even a small badly formatted part may make a simple wrapper to fail on entire page
44 Problems Sequential delimiters the simple wrappers assumed a single delimiter per attribute it might be better to scan for several delimiters in sequence e.g. to extract the name of a restaurant from a review, it might be simpler to scan for, then to scan for from that position, and finally to scan for, rather than to force the wrapper to find a single delimiter Hierarchically organized data an attribute could be an embedded table
45 STALKER hierarchical wrapper induction Muslea, Minton, Knoblock: A Hierarchical approach to wrapper induction
46 STALKER a page is a tree-like structure leaves are the items that are to be extracted internal nodes represent lists of k-tuples each item in a tuple can be either a leaf or another list (= embedded list) a wrapper can extract any leaf by determining the path from the root to the corresponding leaf
47 Tokenization of text a document is a sequence of tokens words (strings) numbers HTML tags punctuation symbols token classes generalize tokens: Numeric, AlphaNumeric, Alphabetic, Word AllCaps, Capitalized HtmlTag Symbol also: user-defined classes
1: Name: Yala Cuisine: Thai 2: 4000 Colfax, Phoenix, AZ 85258 (602) 508-1570 3: 4: 523 Vernon, Las Vegas, NV 89104 (702) 578-2293 5: 6: 403 Pico, LA, CA 90007 (213) 798-0008 7:
49 Extraction rules the extraction rules are based on landmarks (= groups of consecutive tokens) landmarks enable a wrapper to locate the content of an item within the content of its parent e.g. identify the beginning of the restaurant name: R1 = SkipTo( ) start from the beginning of the parent (= whole document) and skip everything until you find the landmark
50 Extraction rules the effect of applying R1 consists of consuming the prefix of the parent, which ends at the beginning of the restaurant's name similarly: the end of a node's content R2 = SkipTo( ) R2 is applied from the end of the documents towards its beginning R2 consumes the suffix of the parent
51 Extraction rules R1: a start rule; R2: an end rule the rules are not unique, e.g., R1 can be replaced by the rules R3 = SkipTo(Name) SkipTo( ) R4 = SkipTo(Name Symbol HtmlTag) these rules match correctly start rules SkipTo(:) and SkipTo( ) would match incorrectly start rule SkipTo( ) would fail
52 Disjunctive rules extraction rules allow the use of disjunctions e.g. if the names of the recommended restaurants appear in bold, but the other in italics, all the names can be extracted using the rules start rule: either SkipTo( ) or SkipTo( ) end rule: either SkipTo( ) or SkipTo(Cuisine) SkipTo( ) a disjunctive rule matches if at least one of its disjuncts matches
53 Extracting list items e.g. the wrapper has to extract all the area codes from the sample document the agent starts by extracting the entire list of addresses LIST(Addresses): start rule: SkipTo( ) and end rule: SkipTo( )
54 Extracting list items the wrapper has to iterate through the content of LIST(Addresses) and to break it into individual addresses in order to find the start of each address, the wrapper repeatedly applies a start rule SkipTo( ) each successive rule-matching starts where the previous one ended similarly the end of each address: end rule SkipTo( ) three addresses found: lines 2, 4, and 6 the wrapper applies to each address the area-code start rule SkipTo('(') and end rule SkipTo(')')
55 More difficult extractions instead of area codes, assume the wrapper has to extract ZIP codes e.g. '85258' from 'AZ 85258' list extraction and list iteration remain unchanged ZIP code extraction is more difficult, because there is no landmark that separates the state from the ZIP code SkipTo rules are not expressive enough, but they can be extended to a more powerful extraction language
56 More difficult extractions e.g., we can use either the rule R5 = SkipTo(,) SkipUntil(Numeric), or R6 = SkipTo(AllCaps) NextLandmark(Numeric) R5: "ignore all tokens until you find the landmark ',', and then ignore everything until you find, but do not consume, a number" R6: "ignore all tokens until you encounter an AllCaps word, and make sure that the next landmark is a number"
57 Advantages of STALKER rules nesting is possible hierarchical extraction allows to wrap information sources that have arbitrary many levels of embedded data free ordering of items as each node is extracted independently of its siblings, also documents that have missing items or items appearing in various orders can be processed
58 Landmarks and landmark automata each argument of a SkipTo() function is a landmark a group of SkipTo()s represents a landmark automaton a group must be applied in a pre-established order = extraction rules are landmark automata a linear landmark = a sequence of tokens and wildcards a wildcard = a class of tokens (Numeric, HtmlTag…)
59 Landmark automaton a landmark automaton LA is a nondeterministic finite automaton with the following properties: the initial state s 0 has a branching-factor of k exactly k accepting states (one/branch) all k branches that leave s 0 are sequential LAs from each non-accepting state S i there are exactly two possible transitions: a loop to itself, and a transition to the next state linear landmarks label each non-looping transition all looping transitions have the meaning "consume all tokens until you encounter the linear landmark that leads to the next state"
60 Learning extraction rules input: a set of sequences of tokens that represent the prefixes that must be consumed by the new rule the user has to select a few sample pages use a graphical user interface (GUI) to mark up the relevant data GUI generates the input format
The user has marked up the area codes: E1: 513 Pico, Venice, Phone: 1- 800 -555-1515 E2: 90 Colfax, Palms, Phone: (818) 508-1570 E3: 523 1st St., LA, Phone: 1- 888 -578-2293 E4: 403 Vernon, Watts, Phone: (310) 798-0008 Training examples: the prefixes of the addresses that end immediately before the area code (underlined)
62 Learning algorithm STALKER uses sequential covering begins by generating a linear LA that covers as many as possible of the 4 positive examples tries to create another linear LA for the remaining examples, and so on once all examples are covered, the disjunction of all the learned LAs is returned
63 Learning algorithm the algorithm tries to learn a minimal number of perfect disjuncts that cover all examples a perfect disjunct is a rule that covers at least one training example and on any example the rule matches, it produces the correct result
64 Learning algorithm; example the algorithm generates first the rule R1 = SkipTo('('), which accepts the positive examples E2 and E4 rejects both E1 and E3, because R1 cannot be matched on them 2 nd iteration: only the uncovered examples E1 and E3 are considered rule R2 = SkipTo(Phone) SkipTo( ) rule "either R1 or R2" is returned
STALKER (Examples) Let RetVal = (a set of rules) While Examples aDisjunct = LearnDisjunct(Examples) remove all examples covered by aDisjunct add aDisjunct to RetVal return RetVal
LearnDisjunct (Examples) Terminals = Wildcards GetTokens (Examples) Candidates = GetInitialCandidates (Examples) While Candidates Do Let D = BestDisjunct (Candidates) If D is a perfect disjunct Then return D For each t in Terminals Do Candidates = Candidates Refine(D, t) remove D from Candidates return best disjunct
67 LearnDisjunct GetTokens returns all tokens that appear at least once in each training example GetInitialCandidates returns one candidate for each token that ends a prefix in the examples, and one candidate for each wildcard that matches such a token
68 LearnDisjunct BestDisjunct returns a disjunct that accepts the largest number of positive examples if there are many, returns the one that accepts fewer false positives Refine landmark refinements: make landmarks more specific topology refinements: add new states in the automaton
69 Refinements a refining terminal t: a token or a wildcard landmark refinement makes a landmark l more specific by concatenating t either at the beginning or at the end of l topology refinement adds a new state S and leaves the existing landmarks unchanged if a disjunct has a transition from A to B labeled by a landmark l (A l B), then the topology refinement creates two new disjuncts in which the transition is replaced either by A l S t B or by A t S l B
70 Example 1 st iteration: LearnDisjunct() generates 4 initial candidates one for each token that ends a prefix (in R1 and R2) one for each wildcard that matches such a token (in R3 and R4) R1 is a perfect disjunct -> LearnDisjunct() returns R1 and 1 st iteration ends
71 Example 2 nd iteration: LearnDisjunct() is invoked with the uncovered training examples E1 and E3 computes the set of refining terminals {Phone :,. HtmlTag Word Symbol} generates the initial candidate rules R5 and R6 both candidates accept the same false positives -> refinement is needed
72 Example 2 nd iteration continues: LearnDisjunct() selects randomly the rule to be refined: R5 refines R5: topological refinements R7,..., R16 and landmark refinements R17 and R18 R7 is a perfect disjunct returns rule "either R1 or R7"
73 Wrapper maintenance information agents have no control over the sources from which they extract data the wrappers rely on the details of the formatting of a page if the source modifies the formatting, the wrapper will fail two challenges wrapper verification wrapper re-induction
74 Wrapper verification determine whether the wrapper is still operating correctly problem: either the formatting (delimiters) or the content to be extracted may have changed the verification algorithm should be able to distinguish between these two e.g. agent checks the Microsoft stock price three times at a stock-quote server: values: +3.10, -0.61, How to know that the first two are OK, but the third probably indicates a defective wrapper?
75 Wrapper verification possible solution: the algorithm learns a probabilistic model of the data extracted by wrapper during a period when it is knowing to be operating correctly model captures various properties of the training data: length or fraction of numeric characters of the extracted data to verify afterwards, the extracted data is evaluated against the learned model to estimate the probability that the wrapper is operating correctly
76 Wrapper re-induction learning a revised wrapper possible solution: after the wrapper verification algorithm notices that the wrapper is broken, the learned model is used to identify probable target fragments in the new and unannotated documents this training data is then post-processed to remove noise, and the data is given to a wrapper induction algorithm
77 What about XML? XML does not eliminate the need for Web IE there will still be numerous old sites that will never export their data in XML different sites may still use different document structures person's name can be one element or two elements (first name, family name) different information agents may have different needs (e.g. the price with or without the currency symbol)
