Otto Wallach was a German chemist born in the Kingdom of Prussia in the middle of nineteenth century. He received the 1910 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work on alicyclic compounds. Educated at a gymnasium, which laid more stress on humanities than science, he started experimenting on different chemical reactions at home. Ultimately, he graduated from the University of Göttingen with chemistry and received his PhD from there at the age of twenty-two. At the age of twenty-three, he joined the University of Bonn as a Lecturer of Pharmacy; but soon was drafted into the Franco Prussian War of 1870. After the war he first tried to settle in Berlin, but circumstances were such that he had to rejoin the University of Bonn for the second time. It was at this phase that his mentor, Friedrich August Kekulé, came across an old and forgotten cupboard full of essential oils and asked him to investigate on them. Thus he began a long and detailed experimentation. Among other things, it led to the discovery of terpene and established the foundation of modern perfume industry.

- Otto Wallach was born on 27 March 27 1847, in Königsberg, an ancient city located in the Kingdom of Prussia. Now, the town is part of Russia and has been renamed Kaliningrad.His father, Gerhard Wallach, was a high ranking civil servant with transferable job. Born as a Jew, he later converted to Lutheranism. His mother, Otillie Wallach, was a Protestant German.Soon after Otto's birth, the family moved first to Stettin and then to Potsdam. It was at Potsdam that Otto started his education at a humanistic Gymnasium. Science subjects were hardly taught in those schools.At that stage, he grew a liking towards literature and history of art, an interest he retained throughout his life. At the same time, he privately studied chemistry and undertook many experiments at home.Ultimately, it was in 1867, that he enrolled at the University of Göttingen with chemistry as his main subject. At that time Friedrich Wöhler, who is best known for his synthesis of urea, was the head of the department. Young Wallach was as much influenced by him as by Professor Fittig and Professor Hübner.Nonetheless, very soon he left University of Göttingen to join University of Berlin. However, he rejoined Göttingen after studying one semester at Berlin with August Wilhelm von Hofmann and G. Magnus and immersed into work.Although the gas in the laboratory was turned off after 5 pm every evening he carried on his work under candlelight. Ultimately he received his PhD in 1869 after working for five semesters only. His thesis dealt with the position isomers in the toluene series.Continue Reading BelowYou May LikeRecommended Lists:
Recommended Lists:Career
- After receiving his doctorate degree in 1869, Wallach joined H. Wichelhaus in Berlin. While working with him on nitration of b-naphthol, he received an invitation from Friedrich August Kekulé to join him at the University of Bonn.Accordingly Wallach joined University of Bonn in 1870 as a lecturer of pharmacy. The same year, he was drafted into the army and joined the Franco Prussian War, which started on 19 July 1870.Once the war ended on 10 May 1871, Wallach first went to Berlin and took up a job at Aktien-Gesellschaft für Anilin-Fabrikation, which manufactured dyes and strains. However, he could not tolerate the fumes there and in 1872, returned to the University of Bonn and remained attached to it until 1889.Initially Wallach was appointed as an assistant at the organic laboratory. Later he became a Privatdozent and finally in 1876, he was appointed as the Professor Extraordinary of Pharmacy.Although he was more interested in chemistry, when in 1879, the Chair of Pharmacology fell vacant, Wallach was more or less forced to take it. Sometime now, he started working on amid chlorides and phosphorus pentachloride and discovered imino-chlorides. During this period, he also worked on imide chlorides, amidines, glyoxalines etc.Meanwhile, Professor Kekulé discovered an old forgotten cupboard, in which there were rows of bottles containing essential oil. He asked Wallach to examine them. In this way, Wallach entered a field that would later establish him as a renowned chemist and earn him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.In 1884, he published his first paper on the essential oils. At that time, it was believed that the so called C10H16 group contained various elements called citrene, carvene, cinene, cajuputene, eucalyptine, hesperidine, etc. In this publication he raised questions about it.In 1885, he confirmed that many of these elements were identical. However, it took him many more years to complete his studies. He published his final paper in 1909.Meanwhile, in 1889, Wallach was appointed to the Wöhler's Chair at the Chemical Institute at Göttingen. At the same time, he also became the Director of the Institute. He retired from there in 1915.Continue Reading BelowRecommended Lists:
Recommended Lists:Major Works
- Wallach is best remembered for his work on the molecular structure of the essential oils. He first separated the components of various oils by repeatedly distilling them and then studied their physical properties. Finally he came to conclusion that many of these oils are identical to one another.In addition, he was also able to isolate a group of fragrant substance from these oils. He named it terpenes. His experimentation took almost fifteen years to complete. Finally in 1909, he published his findings in a paper titled 'Terpene und Campher'. His work formed the basis of modern perfume industry.Wallach is also remembered for his work on amid chlorides, on azo dyes and diazo compounds. His conversion of chloral into dichloroacetic acid is another of his important works.Awards & Achievements
- Wallach was awarded the 1910 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "in recognition of his services to organic chemistry and the chemical industry by his pioneer work in the field of alicyclic compounds".In 1912, Wallach received the Davy Medal from the Royal Society of London "for his researches on the chemistry of the essential oils, and the cyclo-olefines".He also received Honorary Fellowships of the Chemical Society in 1908 and became Honorary Member of the Verein Deutscher Chemiker in 1912.In 1911, Wallach received the Kaiserlicher Adlerorden III Klasse (Imperial Order of the Eagle) and in 1915 the Königlicher Kronorden II Klasse (Royal Order of the Crown).He also received Honorary Doctorates from University of Manchester, University of Leipzig and the Technological Institute of Braunschweig.Personal Life & Legacy
- Otto Wallach remained a lifelong bachelor dedicating all his time and energy to his work. He died on 26 February 1931, at the age of 83, from natural causes at Göttingen. He was buried at Göttinger Stadtfriedhof.In organic chemistry, the rule that states, racemic crystals tend to be denser than their chiral counterparts, has been named 'Wallach's Rule'. Besides, there are the 'Wallach Rearrangement' the 'Wallach Degradation' and 'the Leuckart-Wallach reaction' all named after Otto Wallach.Translate Wiki to Spanish, French, Hindi, Portuguese

When you're in a motorcycle accident, there are many kinds of injuries you could suffer from, none of which are particularly minor. Some of the things that can happen are shocking to consider; at the time, you may only be concerned with your medical care, but the facts are that these injuries can be brutal. Because of the risks to motorcyclists, drivers need to monitor the roads and be aware of their surroundings. Even a bump that forces a motorcyclist off his or her bike can cause these injuries.
Most common for those who ride without proper protection is road rash. This is, essentially, when a rider's skin is torn off on impact with the road or pavement. Rocks and other debris can enter the wounds as well, leading to problems like infection down the line if the wounds aren't carefully cleaned.
Skin grafts may be needed if you suffer from road rash, and this can be a long and painful process requiring patches of skin to be surgically removed and replaced around the wound sites.
Another potential injury is a broken bone. Normally, motorcycle gear can help prevent broken bones thanks to soft or hard armor that is built in. It won't always help, though, depending on the kind of accident that takes place. Commonly broken bones include kneecaps, ankles, ribs, and collar bones. Compound fractures, which occur when the bone breaks through the skin, can also happen during high impact crashes.
Every kind of injury you suffer has an element of risk. Infections, secondary conditions, pain and suffering all happen hand-in-hand with a serious injury. It's important that the person responsible for these injuries is held accountable, so you can make sure your medical bills and needs are covered as you recover.

Bitubo piggyback shocks
Electronic box version G/G2
This new electronic box version G/G2 gives the option of routing just one sleek cable through the handlebars for a clean look. The handlebar switch cables connect to the small round transmitter, which slides inside the end of the handlebar; it converts the different signals so that they can all be sent to the receiver box through just one wire.
The receiver box is so small, it can be hidden anywhere on the bike. It connects to the wire harness and converts the signals which come from the transmitter back to the regular signals again - for turn signals, high and low beam, brake light and starter relay.
Additional functions include emergency flasher, adjustable self-cancellation, running light function for turn signals, choice of single combination start/stop button or separates, brake and rear light combination, neutral or side stand switch activation, eight status LEDs for overview and diagnostics.
"The Cure" main drive gear seal kit for 4-speeds
"The Cure" is a seal kit that will stop the oil leak from the main drive gear on Knuckleheads, Panheads and Shovelheads. The stable and reliable Harley-Davidson 4-speed transmission has been built for half a century, but the oil leak has always been an issue, because Harley designed the main drive gear spacer without a seal.
This state-of-the-art hardened two-piece stainless steel spacer features an additional Viton O-ring that permanently prevents oil leaking from between the spacer and the main drive gear. It can be installed easily without disassembly of the transmission as it is located just behind the main shaft oil seal. The kit replaces the spacer on all 4-speed transmissions from '37 through '77 and includes the spacer washer, spacer sleeve, Viton O-ring and detailed instructions.

CTO for the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium
That it's taken so long is an indicator of what a whirlwind this has been. After all, the consortium has been operating for a couple of years now, contracts have been awarded and the work is underway. It's like boarding a moving train. My new co-workers, partners and vendors have been incredibly gracious as I'm learning this new job.
Smarter Balanced is one of the Common Core Assessment Consortia. It's a partnership of 25 states and 1 territory most of which have also adopted the Common Core State Standards. The concept is that with common standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics we can collaborate to develop better quality assessments of student skills than individual states could do working independently. Funding is through grants from the federal government and multiple foundations.
Those of you who know my passion for non-summative assessment may wonder whether I've gone over to the summative dark side. Summative assessments include the end-of-year assessments given to K-12 students. They may also be final exams or any other tests that come at the end of a course of study.
Non-summative assessments include formative assessments that occur at the beginning of a topic to help students and teachers understand how much they already know, they include daily exercises and assignments, and they include interim assessments. In short, they include any assessment that occurs before the unit or course of study is complete. My previous post on feedback loops and my VSS talk from last fall explain why I believe non-summative assessment has such potential to improve student learning.
As I looked into the Smarter Balanced opportunity I was delighted to find similar passion for non-summative assessment. To be sure, summative assessments are a huge part of our work. But even these exams will use Computer Adaptive Testing technology to accurately place students in a development sequence rather than just determine whether they've met some proficiency threshold. And we're working hard to ensure these assessments are more authentic – that is, activities being measured are closer to the way skills are expressed in the real world.
Moving one step earlier in the learning cycle, Smarter Balanced will also offer voluntary interim assessments that can be used earlier in the year to find strengths and weaknesses in student skills and inform subsequent teaching. They will use the same kinds of questions and skills alignment as the summative exams. I'm exploring how we can offer these interim assessment items in a way that allows other organizations to integrate them into their adaptive learning systems.
And moving to the beginning of the learning process, we are developing a digital library of formative learning materials. These will be teacher-facing content that helps teachers plan and implement formative activities in their classrooms.
For more than two years at the Gates Foundation I studied the state of online assessment and how it fits into the Personalized Learning Model. I'm excited to apply those ideas at that this scale. At Smarter Balanced we're addressing assessment needs in three ways: with year-end Summative Assessments, Interim Assessments to inform students and teachers as they learn, and with Formative Activities to introduce topics and get a sense of existing understanding. It goes without saying that I'll write much about that here.

inBloom - For My Concerned Friends
InBloom is a service designed to help students achieve academic success through personalized learning. Those of us who helped develop the Shared Learning Collaborative (which was renamed inBloom in February) are convinced that personalizing the learning experience is the best way to improve student achievement. Whether personalization is being done by a teacher, an online learning system, or a synergistic combination of the two, it happens when information about what the student needs to learn intersects with information about available learning materials.
With that in mind, we set out to supply teachers and students with the data they need. That's what inBloom does. It taps into existing student data systems at schools, districts and states and makes that data available, in a secure way, to authorized teachers, students and parents. Simultaneously it indexes a library of teaching materials and makes them available to those same individuals.
A lot of work went into preserving student privacy. inBloom requires two things to happen before any student data can be retrieved. First, the application they are using must be authorized by the school district. Second, the individual using the application must be logged into inBloom and be authorized to access the requested data. This protection of student privacy is compliant with and goes beyond the requirements of FERPA and state data privacy laws.
So, who can access student data? Teachers can access data about students who are enrolled in their classes. Parents, if authorized by the school or district, can access their children's data. And students can access their own data. An application, such as a personalized learning system, can only access private student data if an authorized user is logged in to the app.
To match student achievement data against available learning resources, we need a common taxonomy of what it is that students need to learn. It's not sufficient to know that Johnny got an "A" on assignment number 5 but a "C" on assignment number 7. We need to know what learning objectives were represented by each of these assignments. That's why inBloom makes use of the Common Core State Standards. In the data, we can show that assignment 7 was on multi-digit multiplication. And, since it appears that Johnny needs some more practice, we can search the library for multiplication practice that's suitable to his age and preferences.
In a nutshell, inBoom supplies the student and content data needed for effective personalized learning.
Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems
For whatever reason, some people have confused inBoom with Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS). The SLDS effort was launched more than a decade ago by the Bush Administration and funded by the Educational Technical Assistance Act of 2002. While a separate statute, it's related to the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The official SLDS website describes it this way:
Better decisions require better information. This principle lies at the heart of the Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) Grant Program. Through grants and a growing range of services and resources, the program has helped propel the successful design, development, implementation, and expansion of K12 and P-20W (early learning through the workforce) longitudinal data systems. These systems are intended to enhance the ability of States to efficiently and accurately manage, analyze, and use education data, including individual student records. The SLDSs should help states, districts, schools, educators, and other stakeholders to make data-informed decisions to improve student learning and outcomes; as well as to facilitate research to increase student achievement and close achievement gaps.Under grants from the SLDS program, 47 states are developing longitudinal data systems that aspire to collect student data from preschool through college and even into workforce placement. Analysis of the data should help researchers understand the impact of different factors and programs on student achievement.
Before being analyzed to find trends, the data is either anonymized or aggregated in order to preserve the privacy of the students. However, the databases themselves necessarily contain personally identifiable information (PII). That's because the data comes from multiple sources: K-12 schools, colleges and workforce databases. In order to connect all of the data about an individual together, you need to be able to match up records and that requires the personal identity information about each individual.
This concentration of individual data spanning decades of educational experiences spooks a lot of people. Two factors help moderate those fears. First, according to federal regulation, data is not combined between states nor is it reported to the federal government. Only aggregate data (sums, averages and so forth) is reported to the federal government. Second, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) prohibits the release of any student information without permission from parent. Of course, that doesn't reassure everyone. The mere fact that such databases exist concerns many.
I have a different concern. I've previously written about Theories of Change for educational improvement. In this case, the theory is that over time the collected data will help government officials, education officials, teachers and curriculum developers make better decisions based on what really works. But if we're trying to figure out how a particular curriculum choice in elementary school affects a student's college prospects, it may take 10 years or more to have the data to measure that effect. My concern is that this effort will take a long time to make a difference.
inBloom and SLDS both collect student data. Both leverage CEDS definitions for the data fields they collect. But the purposes of the data sets and the people who have access to the data are entirely different. Of the two, I'm more optimistic that inBloom will achieve the impact on student learning that our country needs.

About Me
The greatest gift we can give children is education. Our next generation will require unprecedented levels of knowledge, skills and creativity. For they will not only face the challenges we know today but many more we have yet to identify. Moreover, education is a proven path to prosperity and our most promising solution to poverty.
A model for 21st Century education begins by recognizing the innate learning capacity of people. We are born learners and we spend our lives making sense of our experiences. So the first pillar is to preserve that natural learning and sense of wonder; ensuring that students are active participants in the learning process. Next is feedback – consistently informing the student about where they are on the learning journey, how well they are doing and what are the next steps. To this we add purpose that students may understand the value of what they are doing.
Education technology isn't required to teach this way. As in other industries, technology simply increases the capacity of teachers and students. But the potential is considerable. More effective students can learn more rapidly and retain their knowledge better. For teachers, automation frees them to spend more time in 1:1 interactions and feedback helps them to know exactly how best to spend that time. The net result is teaching more students better than ever before.
I've been blessed in my career to collaborate with like-minded individuals. I've been inspired by their passion and creativity and humbled by the willingness of philanthropists to dedicate so much to this cause. I learn from what they are doing and share as much as possible. I'm confident that our collective efforts will benefit many generations.
Moreover, if we take anything with us when we exit this life, it will be the people we've known and the knowledge we've gained.

About Us
Imports of France was established in 1976 as a result of a significant demand in the Australian hospitality industry for products commonly used in France but unobtainable in Australia.
The focus resulted in Imports of France securing a number of exclusive agencies namely Cointreau Gastronomie, Distilleries Peureux and Sevarome natural flavours, which to this day are unique and without equal.
Imports of France was responsible for the introduction of liquor concentrates and numerous other ingredients to the pastry industry, ice cream manufacturers, chocolatiers and the catering industry in Australia.
Since that time Imports of France has serviced these industries on a national basis using a network of agents and distributors in all States.
The company has enjoyed a long association with some of Australia's largest food manufacturers.
Recently Imports of France has acquired several new agencies including Michel Cluizel couverture chocolates, Sicoly frozen purées and Solia Packaging Solutions.
Imports of France has a dedicated permanent workforce of fourteen employees.
Formerly a chef, the French born Managing Director Philippe Vauzelle has had extensive experience both in Hospitality and Sales and Marketing industries.

Tuesday Trends: Chalkboards
Feb 12, 2013 9:55:37 AM Mahaffey Tent & Event Rentals
Chalkboards have made their way into the limelight! Coming from the classroom into the party, these decorations provide a perfectly simple, yet unique touch to any event. Whether your style is sophisticated Southern or all things vintage, chalkboards can be incorporated in so many ways. Consider using chalkboard tags for cups or giveaway goodies, over sized boards for menu options or editable cake toppers at your next soiree.
While you may not be a pro at calligraphy and some things personalized will have to be special ordered, several chalkboard ideas are an easy DIY project! Anything can be turned into a chalkboard with chalkboard paint found at your local hardware store. Paint coffee mugs, wine glass bases, rustic wooden signs or old window frames. Here are some of Mahaffey's favorites!

A Boot Camp Newbie's First Day (Chronicles of a Boot Camp Newbie #1)
Let's get this out there from the start: I'm not great at working out. Do I actually try to work out regularly? You bet! I get up, I put on a workout video, I do a few squats and jumping jacks…then I wander into the kitchen or grab my planner to jot down a note that's popped into my head. Sure, I get through the 35-45 minute video, but I probably do about 10 minutes of actual exercise and rarely break a sweat. And then I try to convince myself that I am in shape! Can anyone relate??
For this reason (and others), fitness boot camps have always frightened me. I know they will actually make me work and who wants that?? Ha! However, when the opportunity was presented to me, I knew it was time to take my workouts to the next level. Clearly my 10-minute quasi-workouts were not working, and it was time to get some professional help.
Edge Body Boot Camp is relatively new (started in December 2014) and is located conveniently at 109th and Harrison. My first day, I was nervous (who wouldn't be??) about three main things: what would the instructor be like? What would the other participants be like? Would they make me run?? I have hated running since I was a kid and I nearly threw up when our gym teacher made us run a mile. But I pushed through and showed up at the 4:30 pm class as planned.
The first thing I noticed: the instructor was really cool. Missy Henry not only instructs, but is also the owner of Edge Body. She's everything you want in a trainer: tough and motivating, yet cool and forgiving as well. She was cracking up the participants with some stories when I arrived and made it a very easy and relaxing environment. She explained that we would be dividing up into partners that day, another scary thing for a new person since I didn't know a soul there. However, I was paired with a very nice guy who looked like he wouldn't get severely embarrassed that I could not do regular push-ups.
The 45-minute class was VERY challenging—and not just for me, a relative newbie to strenuous exercise. There were some really fit people in my class and they were just as soaked with sweat as I was. The great thing is that you could modify it to your fitness level. The circuit included kettle bell swings (with various sizes of kettle bells), partner sit-ups with weighted balls, the dreaded push-ups (which I completed on my knees and still felt like my arms were going to fall off) and tricep dips. No running, yay!! But what I didn't realize is that the even though we weren't technically doing cardio, I still felt like I ran a marathon afterward.
Speaking of afterward, I went through two days of not being able to lift my arms above my shoulders and having to roll out of bed as I could not sit up without my abs screaming. So yes, it WORKS! I'm excited to get more involved and chat with the other participants (a nice assortment of ages and fitness levels) and have Missy whip me into much better shape. I hope she's up for the challenge!!

Relationships require effort, and sometimes the worst ones are those that just drag along on autopilot despite the fact they aren't working. They may be making one or both partners unhappy or preventing them from growth, but neither person is paying enough attention to the relationship to address it or make the effort to leave.
This isn't a couples advice column; it's about banking. Many banking relationships in the United State are based on simple inertia rather than what's best for the customer. People stay with their banks despite poor customer service, non-competitive products and other shortcomings simply because they can't be bothered to leave.
Do you have one of the best checking accounts, excellent savings accounts or top money market accounts? If not, it could be costing you time, money and aggravation. Are you in a bad relationship with your bank? There are some classic signs.
8 signs it's time to break up with your bank
Here are some clues your banking relationship isn't working for you:
1. They only call when they want something
Relationship banking seems to have taken the place of customer service in many cases. What's the difference? What banks call "relationship banking" is generally about trying to squeeze more business out of their existing customers rather than trying to address their needs.
If your bank keeps using its relationship with you as a pretext to make sales calls about other types of business, they may be wasting your time on issues that have nothing to do with why you signed up with them in the first place.
2. Bank keeps changing its story
Nothing destroys trust in a relationship more than when one party has an ever-shifting version of reality. Yet some banks seem to make a habit of always changing their story.
You sign up for one type of account, only to find a few months later conditions have changed -- your free checking account is now charging a fee, or you no longer qualify for a special savings account rate.
In these cases, the bank may glibly explain what you'd have to do now to qualify for a better deal -- perhaps give them more money, or direct paycheck deposits into your account. Save your time. If they changed their story once, they may well change it again. You might as well take the opportunity to change banks.
3. They like spending your money
Ever been in a relationship with someone who is using you? As long as you are footing the bill, money is no object.
Is your bank treating your accounts like that? Take a look at the fees. Between monthly maintenance fees, statement fees, ATM fees and others does your bank act like the sole purpose of the relationship is for you to spend money on them? If so, it's time to look for free checking and other opportunities to save money.
4. Bank is stingy with you
Banks may like making you pay, but when it comes to giving back they can be downright stingy.
How can you tell? Savings account rates are a good sign. The most recent MoneyRates.com America's Best Rates survey found that the average savings account rate was 0.419 percent, but several banks -- including some of the biggest ones in the world -- get away with paying customers less than a tenth of that.
In contrast, the best savings account rates are now above 2 percent. So is your bank generous with you, or stingy? Answer that and you'll have another clue about whether it's time to change banks.
5. Sometimes they act like they don't know you
Let's say you've entrusted two or three accounts to your bank. Do they seem to acknowledge the relationship between your accounts, or does relationship banking extend only to making sales calls about yet more products?
What should you be looking for here? Things like having total balances across all accounts qualifying you for special deals, rather than just the separate balances within each account. Or free, automatic balance transfers between accounts to cover checking overdrafts. Those are examples of how a bank can acknowledge all sides of your relationship with them.
6. Bank isn't always available when you need them
How long would you put up with a relationship with someone who would only talk to you at their convenience?
Amazingly, in today's 24/7 world, customer service is still just a 9-to-5, Monday through Friday effort at some banks. You deserve a bank that will talk to you at your convenience, not just theirs.
7. They've totally changed
Banks sometimes merge or acquire other banks as a means of boosting profits by increasing the scale of their operations. your bank gets taken over, every reason you had for hooking up with that bank in the first place may be gone.
If a merger or acquisition results in your bank changing fee or rate policies, closing branches or otherwise cutting service, it's a good time to start fresh. Do some comparison shopping to see if there isn't a more compatible match out there for you.
8. Bank hides who they really are
In any relationship, someone who presents a false front can lead to unpleasant surprises down the road.
In banking, this is sometimes excused as "branding." A bank may operate under a different name for marketing reasons, or worse, operate under multiple brands for multiple situations.
Why should you care? Well, in some cases if a bank is operating multiple brands your deposits may still be counted together for the purpose of calculating FDIC deposit limits. In other words, you might think you have spread your deposits among different banks, only to find they are different brands of the same bank. Generally speaking, it's easier to monitor your bank and any developments that may affect you if you know who they really are.
If the relationship with your bank is not working to your benefit, it's time to end it. Don't worry, your bank won't be heartbroken -- otherwise they'd have been trying harder. Change banks and don't look back.

2005-03-12 - Abstract Machinery
From the same series as yesterday's photo, I thought I'd try a black and white conversion... Not really sure how well this works. It certainly makes me admire the masters of b&w photography all the more.
Add a Comment
David I like the angle but the main thing that does stand out to me is there not enough contrast. In your B&W photograph there is too much "white" - The harsh midday light (as it appears) makes it difficult to achieve the necessary exposure/contrast. The machinery gets lost with the background.

Check if a list contains an element
The attached process demonstrates two ways of searching a list to check if it contains a specific element.
- The first way uses a loop to check all the elements in the list and an index variable to store the position of the element, if found.
- The second way uses the "Parse Text" with a regular expression to search the given list.

It's not working, i have list of 600 elements and and i can't loop through each element because the size of the list may increase. i have used parse text and it's giving me the index of the element more than to size of the list.
I have attached sample data of 60+ record and i want o find the 5 element from last.
parse the filecontents and grab the position directly.
see the screenshot.
Oh, I forgot to say I'm considering all your references are the same lenght as the example you provided to avoid the iteration.
In a diferent case you will need to iterate the list.

We specialize in selling our top-of-the-line Colorado grown cannabis to locals and vacationers who visit Crested Butte, CO.
Of all the strains we sell there are a few that really stand out and consistently sell fast. We've listed our top 3 local favorites for you to learn more about what makes them so popular in our area. These strains are all sisters, but have very different personalities when consumed.
From chill Sundays to pain management, these strains are great for promoting creative, hungry, and sleepy effects.
3 Local Favorite Strains of Cannabis for You to Try!
Our dispensary has many different varieties of Cannabis and we want to explain why some of these are the local favorites. We know everyone has their own style, which is why we have developed the cannabis strain selector! This handy gadget produce a customized recommendation on which strand will best fit your needs. But really, you'll just have to try them all to judge which is best.
Blue Dream – Sativa/Hybrid
The description is in the name. The strain in question is a mix of blueberry indica and a sativa haze. This unicorn is sativa dominant hybrid, making the high smooth and easy. Sativas are head highs, so with a mix you'll be getting a full package. Great for waking and baking! No one will suspect anything because of the nice blueberry smell. (not!) Try our marijuana vaporizer guide for advice on finding truly low odor methods of consuming cannabis.
Animal Cookies – Indica/Hybrid
This is the heavenly product of the Girl Scout cookie strain and the Fire OG strain. This hybrid strain has full body effects. Hybrids are like getting a massage with an unexpected happy ending. The result is mind blowing, lets just leave the rest to the imagination. This potent medicine might be overkill for mild symptoms, but its ability to obliterate severe pain and insomnia is unprecedented.
Hindu Skunk – Indica
A chilling Indica strain and is a cross of Hindu kush + Skunk #1. It has a smooth high and nice taste. This type of Indica is all about the mind and body effect. The Hindu will have you preaching for more. Like its Cheet-oh appearance, this strain is satisfying and will leave you wanting everything in the cupboard.
Please Consume Cannabis Safely
We would like to remind you to consume cannabis safely at all times. Make sure you learn about a strain's effects before you consume and you will be in good hands. For starters take a look at our list of marijuana strains and descriptions.
Please give us a call or stop by to learn more about how you can be safe while enjoying recreational cannabis to its fullest.

Flash Back
1. I preferred him when he was an alcoholic - sobered up, found God (or a ready made audience anyway) then started 2 un-winnable wars. Un-winable unless you are a defence contractor, security contractor, private contractor or oil company. Fcuk what we leave in our wake, we got 10yrs good profit out of that.Alcohol & politics - they no mix, as G W Bush learnt to his expense.
I profer a half-hearted apology and suggest that the good survivors choose a safer territory in which to practise their kindly deeds. I believe that there are needy people in Angorra.

Black mold – that bane of the human existence. The terrible fungus, sent straight from Mordor to ruin the world of man.
Well, not quite, of course. In fact, one might say that a lot of the hate towards black mold, particularly compared to other types of mold, stems from the mass media hype in the 90s where black mold was bogusly linked with Acute Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemorrhage (AIPH) or Pulmonary Hemoiderosis in babies. Later on, it turned out that no such link exists, but black mold was already set up as the villain of the story.
In truth, black mold can be toxic, but it can also not be. And the same goes for any other type of mold as well – some may produce mycotoxins (the actual things that are toxic, the mold itself is not toxic), and some don't, regardless of the mold's type or color.
All this doesn't mean that black mold can't be dangerous, however. Black mold and other types of mold are a very nasty thing to find in your home. They can lead to respiratory problems, especially in people that already have respiratory conditions. They can trigger severe allergic reactions. They can lead to physical problems and illness in people with compromised immune systems or even in healthy people if the mold infestation is bad enough. Pets are also in danger of a strong mold infestation, since they may become curious towards it. Plus, mold causes unpleasant odors and ruins the overall level of comfort in your home.
And all that is not counting the physical damage mold can cause to your furniture and other possessions, as well as to your walls and house.
All in all, a mold infestation, whether it is black mold or another type, is a very nasty problem that kind of does "ruin the world of man". And in today's day and age, with building materials being more and more mold-friendly, mold is becoming even more common, even if this feels counter-intuitive to some people. And since the most common types of mold are the black and green ones, you are virtually guaranteed to deal with black mold at some point of your life.
The origin of all the hysteria surrounding black mold comes from a statement made by the CDC (Centers For Disease Control and Prevention) in 1995. The statement suggested that there might be a link between Acute Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemorrhage (AIPH) or Pulmonary Hemoiderosis and exposure to black mold. This was due to the diagnosing with AIPH of ten infants from Cleveland, OH.
One of them later died from the disease and because all of the infants had come from homes that had suffered water damage and mold problems, the link was made. Very soon after that, tests were made and CDC issued a statement that there is no actual connection between mold or mycotoxins and AIPH.
However, we all know how the media works – the initial spark was lit and the wildfire of misinformation had started. Over 20 years later people still view black mold as lethal and toxic, when it isn't the mold that is actually toxic, and when black mold is not much different from any other mold.
Almost everyone nowadays has heard about the dangers of mold. There've been countless news reports and programs about it. Black mold, in particular, otherwise known as Stachybotrys Chartarum, is often viewed as one of the most toxic things that can ever befall your home.
And yes, of course black mold and mold in general have a lot of possible negative effects on a person's health. It must be said, however, that a lot of the things we hear all the time are simply wrong.
For starters, while it's true that some molds, including black mold, can produce mycotoxins, these mycotoxins are not a part of the mold itself. So the entire term "toxic mold" is wrong by definition.
Additionally, all kinds of mold can produce mycotoxins and there's no evidence that black mold produces it more than others. And, more importantly, mold doesn't always produce mycotoxins, so there's no need to run screaming every time you see some of it. Stay calm, take the necessary precautions and deal with the problem. Unless you have some very serious respiratory and immunity disorders, the mold is not going to just instantly drop you on the floor.
Another thing that needs to be considered is the fact that mold isn't just on the walls of our homes – mold is literally in the air. There are almost always mold spores in the air, even if you have no mold infestation in your home and even on the outside. Yes, you are literally breathing in mold as you are reading this. And you're fine both because it's in miniscule amounts and because it's not the mold that is actually toxic.
By now you've probably decided that we are about to declare black mold as completely harmless. This is, of course, far from the case. We simply dispelled some of the myths surrounding it.
All mold can have a lot of negative and very dangerous effects on a person's health.
In 2004, for example, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found sufficient evidence that linked mold exposure to upper respiratory tract symptoms like coughs and wheezing in healthy people.
In 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued official guidelines for indoor air quality: Dampness & Mold.
In other words, overexposure to mold can cause health issues even for healthy people – coughs, heavy breathing, tiredness, and other similar problems. It can drastically decrease the air quality in your home, it can bring a lot of unpleasant odors, and so on. Not to mention the often irreparable damage that it can cause to your home and furniture (we'll mention this below, of course).
For people with previously existing respiratory problems, particularly ones that also have problems with their immune systems, and even more so small children or toddlers, overexposure to mold of any kind can have serious consequences. And yes, in extreme situations, a mold infestation can lead to a lethal result, but so can anything else that hinders the breathing of a person or a child with respiratory problems.
So, in short, a mold infestation – Stachybotrys Chartarum or otherwise – can be very unpleasant for the air quality in your home, it can lead to a lot of problems, from small inconveniences to health concerns, and when it happens to people or kids with serious respiratory problems it can also be quite dangerous.
Yes, this is a key question. What physical symptoms can we expect to feel or notice in ourselves if those dots in the bathroom turn out to be releasing mycotoxins in the air? If inhaled or ingested, the mycotoxins that spread from black mold can cause one or a combination of the following mold poisoning symptoms (depending on the amount and the duration of the exposure):
As we mentioned, since mold can worsen the air quality in your home and can cause breathing problems in healthy people, people with respiratory problems can be impacted much more severely by a mold infestation.
As far as the mycotoxins are concerned, people with weak immune systems have much more to fear from them than healthy people. Mycotoxins themselves are secondary metabolites produced by micro fungi like mold. They are quite capable of causing disease and death in humans and other animals, so the more susceptive a person's immune system is to outside interference, the more danger they are in.
Black mold needs more moisture and time to grow than most other types of mold. This is not actually a bad thing, because it gives us a little bit of time to work with. Not much – don't take this as an excuse to procrastinate. Because the black mold fungi require a lot of moisture to thrive and grow in, black mold is most common after a flooding, after a leaky pipe (like under an air conditioner or a sink), or any other such condition where extreme dampness is created. Because of that, black mold often appears slimy and is often dampened downwards.
This means that it does not contaminate the air around it as readily and as quickly as other species of mold. White mold, for example, is the opposite – if you have seen it before, it has a sort of "fluffy" or feathery look because it is constantly growing outwards into the air and it very easily spreads its pores airborne.
(As a side note, such white molds can also be toxic and are therefore quite dangerous – a toxic mold that sends spores into the air quickly and easily is not something you want in your home).
Black mold is the opposite of that – it prefers to grow into and through the surface it is on, eating through anything it can find. Simply put, it's a rather gluttonous fungus that is more interested in eating than procreating. Of course, black mold eventually sends airborne spores as well, including when it is being treated, which is why we always recommend using protective face and body gear when cleaning up mold.
There are over 100,000 different species of mold in the world. Some are more common than others, some are harder to get rid of, and some require different types of treatments than others, even though most commercial mold cleaners are designed to be universally effective. And yes, with 100,000 species, a lot of them have the same color, and a lot of them vary a lot in shape and size. In other words, Stachybotrys Chartarum is not the only "black mold", and very often we call black mold, species of mold that are different than Stachybotrys Chartarum.
So, as you can figure, simply looking at the color of the mold is not enough to properly identify it and is even less effective at determining whether or not there are mycotoxins around it.
To properly identify mold you need a microscope and extensive lab testing, but as far as the toxic risks of the mold are concerned, this is not necessary – black mold doesn't always produce mycotoxins and a lot of other types of mold produce it as well.
Well, it always has a tinge of black in it, but it is almost never just black. It usually has a distinct greenish look as well, and sometimes is a mix of black and grey instead. As such it can be confused with green mold.
Another key feature of black mold is the pattern in which it grows. Black mold tends to grow in a sort of "spotty" pattern – in dots. A black mold infestation looks like a bunch of dots of various sizes – almost as if a child took a black marker and started drawing dots on the wall. This distinct pattern is probably the easiest way to distinguish Stachybotrys Atra or Stachybotrys Chartarum from other black-colored types of mold.
If you are worried that you might have black mold somewhere in your home, maybe because you've had recent flooding or leakage issues (always a valid worry), you can expect a strong and distinct smell if black mold is present. It is a very musty odor that favors mildew.
Often times, when black mold forms in the ducts of your air conditioning system, its odor can be felt in the entire home. This can easily drive home owners nuts as they are running around, trying to find the source of the smell. Always check the HVAC system when you sense some musty odors in your home – the problem might have been hiding there all along.
All this seems rather simple and clear – black mold has a distinctive look and smell, so if we see it we should recognize it. Good.
Mold damage in buildings is something that is much more widespread than damage to people's health. Plus, unlike our health, to buildings mold is not just an outside factor that can worsen a respiratory condition, but is the direct cause of the problem itself.
Mold damage to buildings has been a known problem for as long as there've been, well – buildings. In fact, even the Bible warns people against mold in Chapter 14 Leviticus!
Especially since the housing boom in the last two decades, mold problems have become even more of an issue. This was worsened even more by the use of materials like the OSB particle board (plywood compressed wood pulp and glue), which are much more susceptible to water damage than older construction materials.
As a result, the lawsuits against construction companies in the last couple of decades have skyrocketed, since mold is so frequent in newer buildings.
As for the actual damage mold can cause to your building – mold spreads by literally eating through materials, be they wallpapers, paint, or the wood, grout, bricks or other building materials that make up your home. In the very same way, a mold infestation that's left unchecked can easily ruin a piece of furniture.
The speed at which mold can do that varies a lot. A lot of people are used to dormant mold – mold that has started developing but has stopped because the humidity in the air has dropped. As a result, a lot of people thin that mold spreads very slowly. This isn't the case, however – when introduced with the right conditions, mold can spread and cause damage in a matter of days, even if it's been inactive and dormant for years before that.
So, in short, mold can be very dangerous and damaging to your home and furniture, which is all the more reason to fight it as soon as you see it.
Black mold is sort of the "black sheep" of the mold family – it's blamed for everything. It's toxic, it kills infants with one breath, it is Satan's plague on the Earth, and so on, and so on. And that's simply not the case. Black mold is not toxic - mycotoxins are toxic and they can be produced by all types of mold. Black mold doesn't kill infants, leaving infants with respiratory conditions in rooms that have poor air quality is what kills infants.
But, of course, that isn't to say that mold – black or otherwise – can't be harmful to our health. It very well can. A mold infestation can drastically worsen the air quality in your home, which can lead to a lot of respiratory problems even in healthy people. Plus, the damage a mold can do to your home or furniture can often be irreparable.

Art Starts Here
Richard Serra's bold, dramatic prints were the inspiration behind this year's Kimball Art Center Gala, a celebratory fundraiser that raises funds for the Kimball's programs such as the Young Artist Academy and EVA (Elementary Visual Arts program).
With a black-and-white theme, the art focus extended beyond the walls and into the culinary offerings. With delicious food, whimsical drinks, and boundless energy flowing throughout the evening, it was a night to remember. Make sure to visit the Kimball Art Center to visit the Richard Serra exhibition, which will be open to the public until August 20th.

Unit4, a fast growing leader in enterprise applications for service organizations, today released new user-based evidence collected by technology management consulting firm Eval-Source (www.eval-source.com) proving it to be the only top 5 ERP system designed to allow business users to adapt the system to reflect changing business circumstances.
Unit4 Business World's architectural design continues to provide substantial advantages compared to other leading ERP software, says a new report. Service organizations tend to be fast-changing, requiring systems that can keep up as they grow and evolve.
The report examines the systems' ability to adjust to new governmental regulations, adhere to new financial standards, support new financial and business structures, implement new performance metrics and accommodate changing global accounting structures. Data was compiled from users of SAP HANA Enterprise Business Suite, Microsoft Dynamics AX, Oracle E-Business, Oracle Fusion Middleware (OFM) and Unit4 Business World.
A total of 46 change scenarios were evaluated to determine if the system changes could be accommodated simply by business users, or if IT expert intervention was needed for more complex software application recoding. Unit4 Business World could be updated easily by the business users 96% of the time (44 out of 46 change scenarios). Conversely, Microsoft AX customers could only update their business systems 55% of the time (25 of 46 areas); Oracle Fusion customers 33% of the time (15 of 46); Oracle E-Business customers just 9% of the time (4 of 46); and SAP HANA customers only 6.5% of the time (3 of 46 areas, up from 0 in 2013) without expert IT help.
"An advantage of Unit4 is…any business user can make changes without impacting other data" via @Eval_SourceEval-Source Market Comparison Report: "Which ERP Architectures Best Handle Business Change"
"Many traditional ERP systems fail to quickly respond to changing business environments, requiring IT experts to make complex and time consuming code level changes" said Ivo Totev, CMO at Unit4. "Modern ERP systems, such as Unit4 Business World, offer agility combined with consumer grade user experience. Business World specifically addresses the requirements of service-based organizations that need the ability to quickly, easily and cost-effectively manage shifting circumstances."
The report states: "Unit4 approaches change management with a different philosophy… An advantage of the Unit4 architecture is a fluid, common information model (the elastic foundation) that is incorporated across all modules. This enables continuous propagation of data, provides the ability to edit business processes and facilitates integrated reporting and analysis across the application. Relational and dynamic data structures are supported so that business users can execute most types of business changes required. Any business user can make necessary changes without impacting other data, database, transactional or workflow dependencies."

A brand new Splatfest is on the way to Splatoon 2, this time returning to the wonderful worldwide setup where all major regions face off in the same themed event. The theme in question? Knights vs Wizards.
The event will take place from 16th March to 17th March, lasting for exactly one day with times varying depending on your region (you'll be notified of the times for your area when logging on to the game). The Splatfest asks which of the two options you'd prefer to be.
In a nice touch, your usual Splatfest tee can become part of a full outfit for this particular event. If you have the correct shoes and headgear for either theme, and wear both of these alongside your shirt, the tee will change to complete the set. You can see this for yourself in the images below.
Incidentally, the game will also be updated to Version 4.5.0 this weekend. The update is expected to brings changes to some main, sub, and special weapons - as well as some changes to gear power - but will not include any new content.
Will you be taking part in the Splatfest? Let us know which side you'll be fighting for below.

Anyone carrying concealed should consider the option of carrying spare ammunition. The answer to the question of whether you should or not really boils down to two things: preferences and practice.
There are a few good reasons to consider carrying concealed spare ammunition. Many people who carry concealed might think that whatever ammunition they carry will be sufficient to end the threat. They might assume that they'll only be facing one attacker, or that each of their shots will be deadly accurate.
The truth could be far different.
Carrying concealed is about being prepared for anything. What if anything meant trying to defend yourself with an empty gun? A self-defense incident is highly charged with emotion and struggle. You could be firing from the ground or while trying to get away. You might not be as accurate under stress as you are during target practice.
As much as we hate to admit it, cartridge malfunctions happen, even to the best of us. When your life is in danger, sometimes a quick reload is the only option.
For those that carry a semi-automatic, spare magazines are usually easy to keep in a pocket with a clip or belt pouch opposite of the holster. An autoloader is sleek and usually very easy to conceal.
For a typical double-action revolver with five or six shots, a speedloader holds a gun load of cartridges and is probably the fastest option. A Speed Strip is also a proven option.
Being a bit more bulky in shape, this spare ammo is a bit trickier to conceal. Go with a pocket that you know will hold it securely and in material that won't sag under the weight.
Carry the revolver's spare ammo nearest to the hand you prefer to use for loading. Keeping it on your non-dominant side could speed things up, but the dexterity required for reloading might require you to use your dominant hand.
Wherever you decide to carry it, be sure the spare ammunition is in a location that's secure, clean, and concealed.
It's important to consider that, when firing to save a life, it's likely that the shots will be fast and defensive. In this case, spare ammo would be great to have.
Everyday carry usually includes quite a high number of objects these days; everything from phones and USB drives to keys and pocket knives. Adding in several spare magazines should only be done after extensive practice in carrying and reloading.
