Fertilizer use patterns in Yunnan Province, China: Implications for agricultural and environmental policy
Balancing the need to increase crop yields with the need to reduce the environmental impacts of fertilizers will pose major policy, regulatory, and extension challenges for China. A growing number of studies have demonstrated the potential for improving fertilizer use efficiency in China, but it is not clear how to achieve these efficiency improvements on a larger scale. The empirical foundation for fertilizer policy in China is still weak, particularly in inland provinces. This paper examines fertilizer use patterns in Yunnan Province, an inland and ecologically important province in Southwest China, drawing on two household surveys. We find that fertilizer application rates in the survey areas are highly heterogeneous, among crops, households, and regions. Managing this diversity poses the largest challenge to fertilizer policy in Yunnan and, by extension, in China. None of the factors that we examine in this study are robust predictors of fertilizer intensity (kgha−1) in the survey regions, though in one survey there is a strong inverse relationship between farm size and fertilizer intensity. The lack of clearer signals in the survey data, a consequence of heterogeneity in cropping patterns, agroecosystems, and local economies, underscores the importance of locally tailored approaches to fertilizer regulation in China, and of a strong, service-oriented agricultural extension system oriented around sustainable agriculture.

We consider a residue number system using n pairwise relatively prime moduli m1,⋯,mnto represent any integer X in the range M/ 2≤X>M/2, when M = ∏mi. The moduli miare chosen to be of the 2-1 type, in order that the residue arithmetic can be implemented by means of binary registers and binary logic. Further, for each residue number X, a magnitude index Pxis maintained for all arithmetic operations. We investigate the properties of such a system and derive the addition, subtraction, multiplication, sign determination, and overflow detection algorithms. The proposed organization is found to improve the operation times for sign detection and overflow detection operations, while rendering multiplication to be a difficult operation.

Posted by Michael
Having to use the services of an attorney is not something I look forward to. Unfortunately I have been in the position due to accidents and for insurance reasons to need one. This time around on a friends referral I used Roy Nelson to represent my family after a "no fault of our own" car accident. From the get go, I realized we were not a number or another file in Mr. Nelson's case load but a valued client.
Mr. Nelson was very helpful with assisting us through the insurance maze that was before us. We had COBRA at the time of the accident, then I got my primary coverage a few months later and then my company switched insurance providers. My wife was anxious with all the bills coming our way and of course you can imagine the insurance companies got their wires crossed. Mr. Nelson and team have straightened it all out with the various providers and gave us peace of mind.
I am also someone who expects pretty immediate responses when I send an email to my attorney or leave a voice mail with a question. Within 24 hours and generally day of I always have had my answer. Mr. Nelson has been very straightforward and strategic with how he has handled this case; looking out for us and explaining everything along the way in as much detail as we have possibly needed.
My case is pending but I felt compelled to write and let others know how wonderful we have been treated by Mr. Nelson and team compared to other attorneys we have used in the past. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to actually be able to talk to their attorney and get sound, credible advice to utilize his services. Furthermore, as we have gotten to know Mr. Nelson through this process he has connections all over the city and has a long and outstanding track record. I can confidently say he will be my future attorney if the need ever arises.

I once heard that there is a source that says the Greeks invented gas lamps or some sort of street lights which enabled the Jews to roam the streets at night and not be with their families. The plan was, if people aren't home people can intermingle with each other. Does anyone know of a Jewish source for this?

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-1470) Rework FSInputChecker and FSOutputSummer to support checksum code sharing between ChecksumFileSystem and block level crc dfs
|Tue, 26 Jun 2007 17:17:26 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1470?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12508247 ] Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-1470: -------------------------------------- > I think skip() can still be implemented by genericChecker(). Great! What do folks think of my idea that readChunk() might take an absolute file position? That should make it easy for seek() to also be generic, since it would either (a) directly handle a seek within the buffer; or (b) invalidate the buffer so that the next call to read() immediately causes a readChunk() at the new file position. > Rework FSInputChecker and FSOutputSummer to support checksum code sharing between ChecksumFileSystem and block level crc dfs > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1470 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1470 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.12.3 > Reporter: Hairong Kuang > Assignee: Hairong Kuang > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: GenericChecksum.patch, genericChecksum.patch, InputChecker-01.java > > > Comment from Doug in HADOOP-1134: > I'd prefer it if the CRC code could be shared with CheckSumFileSystem. In particular, it seems to me that FSInputChecker and FSOutputSummer could be extended to support pluggable sources and sinks for checksums, respectively, and DFSDataInputStream and DFSDataOutputStream could use these. Advantages of this are: (a) single implementation of checksum logic to debug and maintain; (b) keeps checksumming as close to possible to data generation and use. This patch computes checksums after data has been buffered, and validates them before it is buffered. We sometimes use large buffers and would like to guard against in-memory errors. The current checksum code catches a lot of such errors. So we should compute checksums after minimal buffering (just bytesPerChecksum, ideally) and validate them at the last possible moment (e.g., through the use of a small final buffer with a larger buffer behind it). I do not think this will significantly affect performance, and data integrity is a high priority. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Scott's Order Puts Sewer Projects In Haines City on Hold
City needs state funds to complete sewer, wastewater projects.
Published: Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 11:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 11:26 p.m.
HAINES CITY | A $4.2 million sewer improvement project sits on Gov. Rick Scott's desk awaiting approval.
Public Works Director Mike Stripling said Thursday the city will not proceed with the sewer project until it has approval for the $4 million loan from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
"The cost of the total project is more than we can risk," Stripling said.
Haines City may already be on the hook for more than $2 million on another municipal improvement project, this one to reclaim wastewater, if the governor fails to approve a second $4.3 million loan application for it.
The Southwest Florida Water Management District has agreed to pay half the cost for the project.
On Jan. 6, the Haines City Commission approved two loan applications for the projects, which got delayed by Scott's executive order two days earlier that froze all government contracts of more than $1 million.
The order requires all state agencies under the governor's control, including the DEP, to submit those contracts for his approval. The order does not affect contracts under agencies controlled by other cabinet officials, such as the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services under Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam of Bartow.
Stripling said he had hoped to begin the sewer improvements by March. Construction bids were opened Thursday, but a contract has not been awarded pending Scott's approval.
The sewer loan would finance an upgrade for treating sludge that will render it usable as fertilizer and eliminate the need to haul it away to a landfill. The upgrade also will reduce energy costs enough to pay for the system's cost in seven years.
"I don't think it will be that big an issue. This makes the state money," on interest payments, said Stripling, who nevertheless said he does not know how long Scott's approval process will take.
Jennifer Diaz, a DEP spokeswoman, acknowledged the agency has received both loan applications but could not say how long the review would take. The governor's press office did not return calls from The Ledger.
The city went ahead with the reclaimed water project on a pledge from DEP officials the loan would be approved, Stripling said. Reclaimed water comes from treated sewage that is not drinkable but can be used for industrial, irrigation and other uses.
Cellyne Corp., a paper manufacturing company, has agreed to become a customer for the reclaimed water for its plant off State Road 544 in southern Haines City. The city built a reclaimed water pipeline to the plant. It is working to get additional customers along the route, Stripling said.

A Combinative Microphone Technique Using Contact and Air Transducers
In the quest for optimum timbral control in multi-channel recording, this paper presents a combinative microphone technique involving contact pickups and air transducers on selected acoustical instruments for single channel transmission. Selected combinative arrangements are evaluated by means of spectrum analysis and listening tests. The results show that this technique offers increased transient clarity and timbral definition over conventional miking methods and thus serves to extend the repertoire of multi-miking techniques.

Most Helpful
This is an excellent base but both my boyfriend and I think it needs something more - perhaps some pepper, extra garlic (I added two crushed cloves in place of the garlic salt) or more onions. It was just a tad too bland. I will doctor it up though because it is good. Thanks for posting!
Very good potatoes that went perfect with Grilled Salmon With Dilled Mustard Glaze - together they tasted a bit like a Scandavian supper - very good! However I made a few changes to the recipe by cutting the recipe in half and adding a few carrots. I also used dill seed instead of dried dill (out of) and forgot the garlic salt. Thanks for sharing!

On completing my first master's degree I applied for OPT but left the country for a few years after the first 90 days. Am I eligible for an OPT again if i return to USA to pursue an MBA, since i didn't utilise the full OPT the first time..
Immigration Attorney
Moving to a new level of study provides eligibility for a new 12 months of practical training, see 8 CFR 214.2(f)(10). If the student leaves the US for more than a temporary absence (5 months) he would be available for a new year of OPT once he re-entered the US on a new F-1 visa for a new course of study. So, I believe you can yes.

Dr. Jake Ross, a university astronomer, wants nothing more than to teach a few classes each semester a nd continue on his research. However, he is being aggressively recruited to be the science advisor to Frank Tomlinson, an ambitious politician with his eye on the U.S. Senate.
Tomlinson is in need of an edge that will allow him to defeat his opponent at the polls, and Dr. Ross can contribute just that: MHD.
MHD, or magnetohydrodynamics, is a new innovation that will allow electricity to be generated efficiently and cheaply. The senate is essentially guaranteed if Tomlinson can deliver unlimited energy to voters at less than half the price of nuclear power. But MHD is still in its infancy, and although the outlook is extremely promising there are great—and deadly—risks.
The incumbent senator will not give up his seat without a fight, and as Dr. Ross discovers, the world of politics carries its own dangers. Nothing has prepared Dr. Ross for the extreme tactics that desperate and powerful people are willing to use.
Power Play is a timely thrill ride by Ben Bova, one of science fiction's most respected novelists.

Read an Excerpt
"MHD?" asked Jake Ross. "What's MHD?"
Leverett Cardwell smiled his enigmatic little smile and replied, "It stands for magnetohydrodynamics."
"Oh, like Alfvén."
Jake was walking with the older man along the Hall of Planets, which ran the length of the museum's planetarium. They were passing beneath the model of Mars, a rust-red globe dotted with long-dead volcanoes. He had first introduced himself to Dr. Cardwell at almost this exact spot, more than a dozen years earlier.
"Alfvén dealt with astrophysics. The branch of MHD I'm talking about now is a way of generating electricity very efficiently," Cardwell went on, his tenor voice soft but perfectly clear. "An MHD generator can produce a lot of power in a relatively small piece of equipment."
Jake nodded. Lev was up to something, he knew. The old man didn't just chat to pass the time of day. He had some purpose in mind.
Jacob Ross had first come to the Van Allen museum on a mandatory class trip when he'd been in middle school. None of the guys wanted to go to a geeky science museum, Jake included. But once the teachers got the kids settled into the strange, round, domed room that housed the museum's planetarium, the lights dimmed slowly until the place was pitch black. And then they turned on the stars. Thousands of stars sprang out of the darkness, with the faint glowing ribbon of the Milky Way arching among them. Young Jake got turned on, too. Sitting in the darkness, watching the stars wheel in stately procession overhead, he became hooked on astronomy for life.
He rode city buses to the museum every weekend. He scraped together enough money from his after-school jobs to buy a student membership. He attended the planetarium shows so often he began to learn the lectures by heart.
And he discovered that the soft, clear voice that explained the stars in the darkness belonged to Dr. Leverett Cardwell, the planetarium's director. With some trepidation, Jake fumblingly asked Dr. Cardwell a question about his lecture one Sunday afternoon, out in the hallway under the model of Mars, while the rest of the audience streamed past after the planetarium show had ended.
"You've been coming pretty regularly, haven't you?" Cardwell asked the youngster.
Surprised and pleased that the director had noticed him, Jake stuttered, "Y … yessir."
Thus began a lifelong friendship. Cardwell took Jake under his wing, opened the planetarium's library to him, and helped him win a scholarship to the state university.
And now Lev was talking about something called MHD.
"Magnetohydrodynamics, huh?" Jake said.
Walking slowly toward the bright yellow globe of the Sun glowing above the museum's entrance lobby, Cardwell said, "There's a group of people in the university's electrical engineering department who are working on MHD power generation."
Why's he telling me this? Jake wondered. But he knew he wouldn't have to ask; Lev would explain it to him in his own time.
Jake had grown into a reasonably healthy young man. Scrawny as a child, picked on by the neighborhood bullies, he'd worked hard on homemade exercise equipment to build himself up. Now he stood just short of six feet tall, still on the lean side, but solid. His hair was dark and unruly, his face too long and horsy to satisfy him. Even so he'd been fairly popular with women, and married his high school sweetheart. But since his wife's fatal car accident he'd kept to himself.
Leverett Cardwell was a tiny man, round-faced, balding, so neat and carefully groomed that some thought him effeminate. His large, round, slightly protruding owl-gray eyes always seemed to Jake to be searching, inquisitive. Jake had never seen Lev wearing anything but a gray wool suit, winter or summer, and a jaunty little bow tie.
"I've been invited to a cocktail party by one of Frank Tomlinson's people," Cardwell said as they walked slowly toward the museum's entrance.
Frowning at the seeming change of subject, Jake asked, "Isn't he the guy they say might run against Senator Leeds?"
Cardwell nodded, his smile turning almost impish. "If Tomlinson decides to run, he's going to need somebody on his staff to advise him about science. I think you could do the job very well, Jake."
"Me?" Jake's voice squeaked with surprise. "I'm just an associate professor. I don't even have tenure yet."
"Aren't you up for tenure this year?"
Nodding gloomily, Jake answered, "Along with five other people, including a Hispanic woman. Besides, I'm the youngest. They'll give it to one of the others this time around."
Nonchalantly waving a hand in the air, Cardwell said, "Maybe not. Maybe they'll surprise you."
Jake made an unhappy grunt.
"I think it would be a good idea for you to attend the Tomlinson party," Cardwell said. "Meet the man. Let him meet you."
"I don't think so."
"You've been keeping to yourself too much, Jake. I know Louise's death was a blow, but that was more than a year ago—"
Jake stopped walking. He could feel his guts twisting. "It doesn't matter," he said. "Nothing matters much anymore. It's just … Lev, nothing's any fun anymore."
"You can't have any fun sitting by yourself watching old movies on television."
"I don't just watch television."
"What else do you do?"
"Prepare my lectures. Do my research. I'm working on a proposal for the imaging team on the next Mars lander."
"You need a social life, my boy."
Jake looked down at the man who'd been his mentor for so many years. Mentor? Hell, Lev's been more of a father to me than my old man ever was, he told himself. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. I'd still be back in the 'hood, in those narrow streets and row houses, working some dumb-ass job and dodging the wiseguys.
Reluctantly he asked, "I won't have to wear a tux, will I?"
Cardwell laughed. "Heavens, no. This is just a cocktail party, not a formal occasion."
Jake capitulated. "Okay, I'll go, if you think I should."
"I do indeed, Jacob."
"When and where? What time should I pick you up?"
"Oh, for goodness' sake, I'm not going!"
"You're not?"
"No. This is an opportunity for you, Jake. They're not interested in an old geezer like me."
Jake felt stunned. Lev was past sixty, he knew. But that's not old! he told himself. There must be some other reason why he wants me to go without him.

i found it hard to believe this book was written by the same guy that wrote the sam gunn stories. the plot was predictable and whenever a woman entered the scene, her mood was sometimes mentioned, sometimes her expression, but ALWAYS her outfit. i think this was written by his 17 year old niece under his name.
As a lover of both science fiction and political thrillers, I thought this would be a two-fer. It was instead a huge disappointment on both fronts. There was no sci fi other than the new type of electricity generation. As a political thriller, it was flat and predictable. If you want to read a political thriller, others have done it much better. There were no surprises. The review by always3 (above) tells you all you need to know in one paragraph rather than plodding through 400 pages.
While Ben Bova is best known for his science fiction stories he brings the same expertise that he uses to forge those stories, to any story he writes. This story fits in that category as the main science fiction aspect is something called magnetohydrodynamics or MHD for short, which is a higher efficiency method of generating electricity. Jake Ross, or more accurately, Dr Jacob Ross's life was plugging along very nicely thank you. He was teaching astronomy and on his way to tenure at the state university and although his wife had died a year earlier in a car accident he felt that he was dealing with that as well as could be expected. When his mentor, Dr. Leverett Cardwell ,suggested he meet with Frank Tomlinson who he said may be running for Senator in the next election Jake is hesitant to get involved in politics. Cardwell had been invited to attend as a potential science advisor to Tomlinson but he felt that Jake would be a better candidate. Jake meets with Tomlinson and agrees to be his science advisor and is tasked by Tomlinson to come up with a scientific improvement as part of his platform. Jake investigates at the university and comes up with MHD which will create electricity at a lower cost and safely use high sulphur content coal which is currently not being used within the state due to emission problems. The encumbant senator, Senator Leeds soon brings dirty politics into the picture putting Jake and his friends in danger. Gambling and drug connections to Senator Leeds and 3 murders during the campaign seem to be helping the Tomlinson campaign, however danger creeps ever closer to Jake. The machinations and political jockeying are interesting and Ben Bova always has a tight control over the story line which just flows seamlessly in this book. Character development is at the highest standards, and the tension as Jake treads through the political mine field is palpable. A great book from a great author. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

LUSH Cupcake Fresh Face Mask ($7.95 for 2.6 oz.) is one of Lush's quick and easy face masks that you can purchase in-store (because they're just *that* fresh). Cupcake is designed for oily, more acne-prone skin. According to the label, Rhassoul mud cleanses and soothes skin, while several other ingredientsh elp to soften it. Several essential oils make it a relaxing experience while you wear the mask for five to ten minutes. I wear mine for about ten minutes, and then I turn on the faucet for warm/tepid water. I wet my hands, and then I gently massage the scrub away in small circles. I find this just seems to relax me (because it's kind of a facial massage), but it also makes me feel like it's deeper cleansing. Just rinse any remaining residue off by splashing your face.Read Full Review
LUSH BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask for Your At-Home Spa!
LUSH BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask ($7.95 for 2.6 oz.) is an excellent all-types-of-skins kind of mask. It's friendly for both oily and dry skinned folks, and it works well even on sensitive skin. Lush recommends this mask for when you just feel like a treatment, but you don't "need" one for any specific reason (e.g., acne, aging, etc.). This is a great one to keep on hand for those stressful days where you want to de-stress. I personally LOVE to de-stress myself by pampering my face and/or body. I just feel better when I've really taken good care of myself, you know?Read Full Review
Simple Skincare Cleansing Facial Wipes + Chance to Win!
Simple Skincare Cleansing Facial Wipes ($6.49) make cleaning your face easy as 1-2-3. I do prefer to follow my nightly skincare routine, but sometimes I'm already half asleep and would rather just crash. It's nights like those that I keep a package of cleansing wipes on hand. Simple Skincare is a popular brand in the UK, and it recently launched its products here in the U.S.Read Full Review
Acne Spot Treatments: Mario Badescu Drying Cream!
When it comes to small, flesh-colored acne, this is the king for me. Whenever I spot any that crop up, I'll smear a little of the Drying Cream on the area before I go to bed. In the morning, they've totally vanished, and I mean vanished! I'm pretty skeptical about acne spot treatments, especially how their ability to work quickly, but this one delivers (at least for me).Read Full Review
Hide & Fight Acne with Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion
The Buffering Lotion is formulated to help you cope with deep, cystic acne. It's sulfur-based coupled with allantoin (helps with inflammation). Mario Badescu recommends using this before/after their Drying Mask as well. It's good for combination and oily skin, and being normal-to-dry (and sometimes normal-to-barely-oily), it's worked just fine for me.Read Full Review
Acne-Prone Skin: Tone with Mario Badescu Special Cucumber Lotion
After I use the Acne Facial Cleanser, I pat my face dry (with a towel used *only* to dry my face). I squeeze a little bit of the Special Cucumber Lotion onto a cotton round, and then I use apply it to my face. You basically apply it the same way you might remove makeup. I wait about 30 seconds or so, and then I splash my face with ice cold water.Read Full Review

James, Olympian Gabby Douglas, musical idiot Seth MacFarlane, probable Oscar winner Ben Affleck, or perennially angry New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, you did not make Barbara Walters annual list of most fascinating people.If you've been thinking all year, "hey this is going to be my year, I really was a good person," you were wrong. You might have even been good, but you were not great, and you were definitely not "fascinating." No, no, this list is reserved for only the most special people in the world and you are not one of them. There's no point in even hoping for the much coveted number one spot, which Babs keeps as a special surprise until her special airs on December 12th. Last year's top spot was claimed by Steve Jobs, even though he was already dead. Are you as "fascinating" as dead Steve Jobs? Didn't think so. Advertisement In 2010, General David Petraeus was named at the top of the list. At the time, Ms. Walters said, "In life, it seems, there are people who break things and people who fix them. This man is a fixer." Reading that now is little bit cringeworthy, huh? 2012 of course has been another fascinating year in the life of General Petraeus, but for entirely different reasons. Not really sure if we'd still call him a "fixer" though. Sponsored LA Times [Image via AP]Reply63 repliesLeave a reply

Just Read for a Brighter Florida!
Research tells us a student's family support system is the number one predictor of success in school. When parents are involved in their children's reading at home, children do better in school. The schools they attend do better, too. When Florida families do at-home literacy activities, increasing time spent reading outside of school, students are more successful in school and life. Before you know it, they are establishing a lifelong love of literacy, and building a brighter Florida!
What is Just Take 20?
The Florida Department of Education created the Just Take 20 campaign to provide K-12 Florida families with practical, easy-to-implement reading activities that establish literacy as a lifelong value. Just Take 20 encourages families to seize everyday teachable moments by using 20 minutes a day to integrate reading into their busy lives. Families are invited to create their own custom literacy plans and have fun while learning!
Just Take 20 events will be held across the state, including family workshops, community events, and professional development opportunities to support literacy education among educators and the families they support. Educators are invited to register for the Just Take 20 Back-to-School challenge that launches in August 2015.
Studies Show the Benefits of Reading Every Day.
Why do reading experts recommend students read 20 minutes outside of school hours every day?
- Every-day reading increases fluency and confidence.
- Increased time spent reading increases vocabulary, comprehension, and writing skills.
- Reading outside the classroom helps students experience the world around them and understand how literacy leads to college, career, and beyond.
- Reading every day helps students form a positive habit, increasing the likelihood they will establish the value of lifelong literacy.
Parents are a child's first and most influential teacher.
The love of reading is formed from rich literacy experiences at home.
When families are involved, the literacy achievement gap is significantly reduced.
A home environment that encourages learning is critical for student achievement.
Of all academic subjects, reading is considered the gateway to success!
Plans That Work.
And Work Anywhere,
Improve your child's family support system by creating a custom, family literacy plan to learn effective at-home reading and writing activities. Better yet—build a plan that works for your family on the go, finding those teachable moments to put the activities into practice in your everyday, busy lives!
