With Alcoa Out, Dow Gets a New Earnings Pacesetter
The Dow is losing its pacesetter for earnings season, as well as another "industrial" company.
Alcoa was added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average in June of 1959, when it was called Aluminum Company of America (yes, you can tease "Alcoa" out of that.) While Alcoa technically isn't an "industrial" company – within the S&P 500′s ten subsectors you will find it among materials stocks – it certainly fits the broad one-word adjective used to describe the Dow's original 12 component stocks – "smokestack" companies.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average will look even less industrial after today's moves. None of the companies added to the mix – Goldman, Visa, and Nike – are industrial companies, albeit Nike at least is a manufacturing company.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average now has just five companies that are truly "industrials" – 3M, Boeing, Caterpillar, General Electric, and United Technologies. There are, however, a few other "smokestack" companies in the index: DuPont is a material, and Exxon and Chevron are energy companies. Also, Intel, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, and Cisco all have production facilities of various kinds.
The other notable thing about Alcoa, possibly the most notable thing about Alcoa, was its position as the Dow component that kicked off earnings season, and not just for the index. While there have been debates about how much Alcoa's aluminum business is a harbinger for corporate America, it stayed in the discussion only because it reported before everybody else.

This past season, Alcoa reported second-quarter earnings on July 8, just a week after the quarter's end on June 30.
The company most likely to pick up the mantle of the earnings pacesetter now is J.P. Morgan, which reported its second-quarter earnings this past season on July 12, followed quickly by a flurry on July 16: Coke, Johnson & Johnson, and Goldman all reported that day.
Given how much the financials have come to play a central role in the economy, it's somehow fitting that the House of Morgan takes up that mantle.

I bought an original iMac at a rummage sale today, running Mac OS 8.6, PowerPC G3, 333mhz.
I have two classic Mac games in Mac format on a Windows 7 PC that I am trying to transfer to the iMac. One of the games is an image file in DMG format, which I have converted to ISO, and burnt to CD-R.
When I examine the CD-R on another Windows 7 machine, the files are intact. But when I insert into the iMac, I get the error "The disc is unreadable by this computer. Would you like to initialize the disc?" with two buttons, Initialize (format) or Eject.
I burned at 48x write speed, using MODE 1. The disc itself is a 700 mb Memorex.
I originally was to transfer the files over the internet, but there is no wi-fi support on the iMac and it's too far to hardwire via ethernet to my router.
Any ideas or suggestions welcome.

Italian Zucchini Pie
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 40 mins
This pie is Wonderful... I made for my adult children & they fell in love with it. Surprisingly the men LOVED it. I also made it for my friends mothers day celebration (about 20 people, made two pies) and her they all really loved it too. When there was only 1/2 pie left she took it and hid it from everyone so she could take it home LOL
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 cups thinly sliced zucchini
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter or 1⁄2 cup margarine or 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 1⁄2 cup chopped fresh parsley or 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
- 1⁄4 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or 2 cups muenster cheese
- 1 tablespoon dijon-style mustard
- 1 homemade deep dish pie shell
- Saute the zucchini and onion in the butter until zucchini is softened and onions are translucent. Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil and oregano.
- In large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cheese and mustard, then add the zucchini/onion mixture.
- Spread the pie crust across the bottom and up the sides of baking dish that has been lightly greased. Carefully lift it into the dish and press across the bottom and up the sides.
- Pour zucchini mixture into the crust and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 18 to 20 minutes. Cover with foil for last 10 minutes of baking. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

This was so good! We had it for lunch with a simple pear and walnut salad. I made it as directed with unsalted butter and mozzarella cheese. I baked it for 10 minutes and then covered the edge of the crust and baked it for 15 minutes more and it was perfect. I used a refrigerated pie crust and it was done all the way through. I loved the taste of the dijon mustard in it. There are many possibilities for this pie, but I will make this again just as the recipe calls for. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
My husband loved this, I didn't. It seemed kinda pasty to me...maybe it would be better to precook the pie shell? I did think it was beautiful. I used a defrosted frozen deep dish pie shell, 2 large zucchini, fresh parsley, frozen basil, dried oregano, mozzarella, whole grain dijon, and I only used 2 tbsp of butter and 1 of olive oil and all other ingredients as listed. I didn't bother covering it with foil...it didn't need it. It baked about 22 minutes. Thanks for the recipe. Made for the Cookbooks tag game.

Silver Linings Playbook: Exxon Says Wildlife Hit By Arkansas Spill Were Mostly 'Reptiles, Primarily Venomous Snakes'
Sure, you thought nothing good could come from ExxonMobil's pipeline spill of some 200,000 gallons into the residential streets of Mayflower, Arkansas. After all, it was "low-quality Wabasca Heavy crude oil from Alberta." And a technicality has spared Exxon from having to pay any money into the fund that will be covering most of the clean up costs — a 1980 law ensures that diluted bitumen is not classified as oil.
But ExxonMobil reports from the Mayflower Incident Unified Command Joint Information Center that even this cloud of oil has a silver lining:
The majority of the impacted wildlife has been reptiles, primarily venomous snakes.
Strangely, HuffPost reports, "According to its Facebook page, the Helping Arkansas Wild Kritters (HAWK) Center, which has worked to help scores of animals hurt by the March 29 spill, has not rescued any venomous snakes, but has cared for many birds."
18 Responses to Silver Linings Playbook: Exxon Says Wildlife Hit By Arkansas Spill Were Mostly 'Reptiles, Primarily Venomous Snakes'
I can think of some venemous snakes that need to be dipped in "low-quality Wabasca Heavy crude oil from Alberta" and feathers, and whipped out of state. They just happen to be the two legged type.
You have to say, this is some great corporate spin.
Maybe they can come up with some killed spiders and rats, too.
In my mind, I picture Homer Simpson leading a mob demanding "More spills NOW!"
Exxon is doing Arkansas a favor! In fact, they're just like St Patrick. Three cheers for Exxon!
(Ow, I think I overused my snark so much it broke…)
I know several conservation biologists who together with their students study venomous and nonvenomous snakes. Snakes that require wetland habitats are often threatened or endangered. Of course, water birds and even frogs and salamanders are more popular. Clearly, dumping oil on land or in lakes, rivers or wetlands is very destructive and illegal.
Not quite, but worth your 17 seconds:-)
Simpsons Oil Spill
Diluted bitumen is not oil? That reminds me of an old joke about the Korean War. A reporter is quizzing some official:
What do you think of the Korean War?
"You mustn't call that a war; it was a police action."
Oh — well, what do you think of the Korean police action?
"Now, there was a war!"
Such classifications, of course, are for political expediency or the evasion of "negative externalities". A truly moral political system would ever allow them in the first place. In our political system, they must be found and repealed — a process which usually takes a massive mobilization of effort.
They think we are uneducated superstitious clods that believe snakes are evil so therefor should be destroyed. No, we are highly educated, not superstitious and know that many animals will be killed and the land and water poisoned. Still we are not smart enough to do much about it or even stop it from happening again.
Skirmishes are fought one by one, battles try to break the whole front at once. Choose your battles well.
By the way, I do not why Exxon could not be slapped with dumping hazardous chemicals. Bitumen and it's diluents are hazardous chemicals, carcinogens and mutagens. We do have laws against that. So what gives? We can't make them pay to clean up a hazardous chemical spill? Sounds fishy.
"reptiles, primarily venomous snakes."
Does this include Anthony Watts and Christopher Monckton?
When I think of the Right's constellation of hatreds of all that is other to themselves, eg racism, xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia, class hatred etc, I often forget 'speciesism', if that be the correct term, the hatred of, and indifference to the destruction of, other non-human living creatures. When will we finally rid ourselves of this spiritual tyranny?
Every higher animal species is under threat as the sixth great extinction grinds on, brought to the planet by Homo destructans.
Of course not! The comparison is odious, and insulting to snakes.
RE: "a 1980 law ensures that diluted bitumen is not classified as oil."
Then would not "tar sands oil" be illegal, or corporate fraud or something? Where is Orwell when you need him.
I love the inspired name there Mulga – definitely suits us much better.
Exxon lies………….all the time. I guess this pipeline was one of those "secure" pipelines that the American Petroleum Institute advertises in their specious ads. The bottom line for them is money. They don't even think about water supply.
Basic Science fact: Take one species or type of animal out of the food chain or food web, and the rest falls down. We NEED those reptiles and venomous snakes to support that ecosystem.
did exxon ever pay a nickel to cover the exxon valdiz spill?

NMR study of 2-ethylhexyllithium aggregate and 2- ethylhexyllithium/lithium 2-ethyl-1-hexoxide mixed aggregates.
Date: December 2001
Creator: Petros, Robby A.
Description: A 1H, 13C, and 6Li NMR study of 2-ethylhexyllithium showed that 2- ethylhexyllithium exists solely as a hexamer in cyclopentane solution over the temperature range from 25 to -65 °C. Furthermore, 2-ethylhexyllithium and lithium 2- ethyl-1-hexoxide were shown to form mixed aggregates when the alkoxide was formed in situ by reacting 2-ethylhexyllithium with 2-ethyl-1-hexanol. A multinuclear, variable temperature NMR study of a sample with an O:Li ratio of 0.2 led to the identification of at least four such aggregates, one of which was found to be a hexamer with the composition R5(RO)Li6. Studies of samples with higher O:Li ratios, up to 0.8, showed additional mixed aggregates present. All solutions containing mixed aggregates were also shown to contain hydrocarbon soluble lithium hydride. A study of lithium 2-ethyl-1- hexoxide indicated that it aggregates in solution as well.

Description: A variable temperature 1H, 13C, and 6Li NMR study of n-propyl-6Li-lithium showed five different aggregates, similar to that in the literature as (RLi)n, n= 6, 8, 9, 9, 9. There were also a number of additional new species, identified as lithium hydride containing aggregates. Unexpectedly, a series of 13C{1H} 1-D NMR experiments with selective 6Li decoupling showed evidence for 13C-6Li spin-spin coupling between the previously reported (RLi)n aggregates and various hydride species.

The performance of density functional theory with the correlation consistent basis sets.
Date: August 2005
Creator: Wang, Xuelin
Description: Density functional theory has been used in combination with the correlation consistent and polarization consistent basis sets to investigate the structures and energetics for a series of first-row closed shell and several second-row molecules of potential importance in atmospheric chemistry. The impact of basis set choice upon molecular description has been examined, and irregular convergence of molecular properties with respect to increasing basis set size for several functionals and molecules has been observed. The possible reasons and solutions for this unexpected behavior including the effect of contraction and uncontraction, of the basis set diffuse sp basis functions, basis set superposition error (BSSE) and core-valence sets also have been examined.

The Performance of Silicon Based Sensor and its Application in Silver Toxicity Studies
Date: August 2000
Creator: Peng, Haiqing
Description: The silicon based sensor is able to detect part per trillion ionic silver in 0.0098% hydrofluoric acid based on the open circuit potential (OCP) measurement. The OCP jump of 100 ppt ionic silver solution is up to 120 mV. The complex agent can effectively suppress the ionic silver concentration and suppress the OCP signal. The ability of complex agent to suppress the OCP signal depends on the formation constant of the complex with silver. The complex adsorbed on the sensor surface induces a second OCP jump, the height of the second jump depends on the formation constant of the complex. The MINEQL chemical equilibrium modeling program is used to calculate the ionic silver concentration when complex agent presents, a discrepancy is found between the MINEQL simulation result and the OCP signal of the silicon based sensor. The toxicity of ionic silver to C. dubia is studied parallel to the OCP signal of silicon based sensor. Less toxicity is found when the complex agent is present similar to the OCP signal. Another discrepancy is found between the MINEQL simulation and the toxicity test when MINEQL simulation is used to predict and control the ionic silver concentration. The data from both biosensor ...

Phosphorescent Emissions of Coinage Metal-Phosphine Complexes: Theory and Photophysics
Date: December 2009
Creator: Sinha, Pankaj
Description: The major topics discussed are all relevant to the bright phosphorescent emissions of coinage metal complexes (Cu(I), Ag(I) and Au(I)) with an explanation of the theoretical background, computational results and ongoing work on the application in materials and optoelectronic devices. Density functional computations have been performed on the majority of the discussed complexes and determined that the most significant distortion that occurs in Au(I)-phosphine complexes is a near and beyond a T-shape within the P-Au-P angle when the complexes are photoexcited to the lowest phosphorescent excited state. The large distortion is experimentally qualified with the large Stokes' shift that occurs between the excitation and emission spectra and can be as large as 18 000 cm-1 for the neutral Au(I) complexes. The excited state distortion has been thoroughly investigated and it is determined that not only is it pertinent to the efficient luminescence but also for the tunability in the emission. The factors that affect tunability have been determined to be electronics, sterics, rigidity of solution and temperature. The luminescent shifts determined from varying these parameters have been described systematically and have revealed emission colors that span the entire visible spectrum. These astounding features that have been discovered within studies of ...

Predicting Chemical and Biochemical Properties Using the Abraham General Solvation Model
Date: May 2009
Creator: Mintz, Christina
Description: Several studies were done to illustrate the versatillity of the Abraham model in mathematically describing the various solute-solvent interactions found in a wide range of different chemical and biological systems. The first study focused on using the solvation model to construct mathematical correlations describing the minimum inhibitory concentration of organic compounds for growth inhibition towards the three bacterial strains Porphyromonas gingivalis, Selenomonas artemidis, and Streptococcus sobrinus. The next several studies expand the practicallity of the Abraham model by predicting free energies of partition in chemical systems. The free energy studies expand the use of the Abraham model to other temperatures and properties by developing correlations for the enthalpies of solvation of gaseous solutes of various compounds dissolved in water, 1-octanol, hexane, heptane, hexadecane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, methanol, ethanol, 1-butanol, propylene carbonate, dimethyl sulfoxide, 1,2-dichloroethane, N,N-dimethylformamide, tert-butanol, dibutyl ether, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, and acetone. Also, a generic equation for linear alkanes is created for use when individual datasets are small. The prediction of enthalpies of solvation is furthered by modifying the Abraham model so that experimental data measured at different temperatures can be included into a single correlation expression. The temperature dependence is directly included in the model ...

Preparation and characterization of praseodymium oxide films and powders.
Date: May 2004
Creator: Shang, Yajuan
Description: Nanocrystalline praseodymium oxide films have been successfully generated on stainless steel substrates. The electrochemical deposition was performed in the cathode compartment of a divided electrochemical cell with a regular three-electrode configuration. The green films obtained by electrodeposition were then annealed at high temperatures for 1-3 hours. X-ray diffraction revealed the fluorite structure of Pr6O11 and the crystallite size was calculated. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was employed to study the composition of the oxide films and also the oxidation state of Pr. Scanning electron microscopy was utilized to study the surface texture and microstructure of deposits. Fourier transform infrared spectrometery was used to investigate the composition of the films. The effects of different conditions on the green films were also studied such as different pH values of the electrolyte solution, different deposition modes, different supporting electrolytes and different applied current densities. Sintering experiments were conducted to investigate the properties of the green films. Praseodymium oxide powders were also successfully prepared by combining electrochemical methods with sintering processes. The praseodymium oxide powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The crystallite sizes of the powders were evaluated.

The preparation and characterization of thermo-sensitive colored hydrogel film and surfactant-free porous polystyrene three-dimensional network.
Date: December 2001
Creator: Zhou, Bo
Description: Polymer hydrogel films change their properties in response to environmental change. This remarkable phenomenon results in many potential applications of polymer hydrogel films. In this thesis colored thermo-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogel film was prepared by firstly synthesizing polymer latex and secondarily crosslinking the nanoparticles and casting the polymers onto glass. The shape-memory effect has been observed when changing the environmental temperature. The temperature-dependent of turbidity of polymer hydrogel film was measured by HP UVVisible spectrophotometer. This intelligent hydrogel might be used in chemomechanical systems and separation devices as well as sensors. Polymer adsorption plays an important role in many products and processes. In this thesis, surfactant-free three-dimensional polystyrene (PS) nanoparticle network has been prepared. The infrared spectroscopy and solubility experiment are performed to prove the crosslinking mechanism, also the BET method was used to measure the adsorption and desorption of polystyrene network. The BET constant (C) is calculated (C=6.32). The chemically bonded polymer nanoparticle network might have potential applications as catalyst or used for chromatographic columns.

Preparation of flat dendrimers and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons connected via 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene core.
Date: December 2008
Creator: Jung, Jiyoung
Description: Flat dendrimers, consisting of a hexavalent aromatic core and rigid ethynyl units locked in place by ether connections were developed based upon the divergent synthetic method. Alternating functional groups were adopted on each site of the hexa-substituted benzene, in order to avoid undesired cyclization pathways. The flat structures of conjugated dendrimers would allow investigation on the discotic liquid crystal properties. In addition, these ethylnyl dendrimers are expected to show directed energy and electron transfer with a highly conjugated system, and thus are effective in the preparation of photoreactive materials such as electronic sensors or light harvesting materials. Conjugated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, consisting of naphthalene, anthracene, pyrene, and phenanthrene groups connected via 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene cores, were synthesized. These molecules exhibited luminescence properties and the π-complexation with a mercury trifunctional lewis acid are expected to enhance the phosphorescence in the presence of the heavy metal due to the spin-orbit coupling. Besides, owing to the presence of heavy metal atom in the Au (I) complexes linked by s-bonded triethynyltriphenylene luminophore, the phosphorescence occurs from a metal-centered emission. The conjugated organic luminophores have been developed to produce excellent quantum efficiencies, brightness, and long lifetimes.

Reducing the Computational Cost of Ab Initio Methods
Date: August 2008
Creator: Mintz, Benjamin
Description: In recent years, advances in computer technology combined with new ab initio computational methods have allowed for dramatic improvement in the prediction of energetic properties. Unfortunately, even with these advances, the extensive computational cost, in terms of computer time, memory, and disk space of the sophisticated methods required to achieve chemical accuracy - defined as 1 kcal/mol from reliable experimental data effectively - limits the size of molecules [i.e. less than 10-15 non-hydrogen atoms] that can be studied. Several schemes were explored to help reduce the computational cost while still maintaining chemical accuracy. Specifically, a study was performed to assess the accuracy of ccCA to compute atomization energies, ionization potentials, electron affinities, proton affinities, and enthalpies of formation for third-row (Ga-Kr) containing molecules. Next, truncation of the correlation consistent basis sets for the hydrogen atom was examined as a possible means to reduce the computational cost of ab initio methods. It was determined that energetic properties could be extrapolated to the complete basis set (CBS) limit utilizing a series of truncated hydrogen basis sets that was within 1 kcal/mol of the extrapolation of the full correlation consistent basis sets. Basis set truncation for the hydrogen atom was then applied to ...

I recently jumped back into flying again. Still have the IYF you built. Still never finished it. Needs elevons and minimal work. What was the cg?
Couple friends decided to buy planes and fly them with out ever doing so. I pulled out my old wldwing I bashed super super light and tail heavy. Adam knows how I like em'. Low and behold they both can fly that pig. I don't have much as well. Some foam, micro servos bunch of 72mhz rxs and my eclipse. Bought a Spektrum.
Where did you buy the nylon tube stick mounts? I can't find them. I'd like a bunch. I'm scratch building a delta right now.
Hey guys, I got a couple quick questions I hope to get answered instead of digging through 822 pages I've got a 61" Deep Reaper XL from Crashtesthobby setup for FPV that I have currently fitted with the following setup. It weighs 6.5lbs or 2.95kg
2 - 8000mah 3s 30-40c batteries in parallel. I know 16,000mah on the wing...
Hobbyking 3536-1800kv motor Supposed 700w on 3s
APC 9x6 Prop
80a esc
What I would like to do is run the batteries in series instead of parallel to get 6s power.
It seems like a lot more people over here are running 6s and higher setups on their Ritewings. I would guess my wing right now will fly 80-90mph and what I am looking for on 6s is 120-130mph if that is possible?
I was reading some of the posts where you guys were trying to go crazy fast but I think my wing is heavy enough I still need some low end power as well as some high end speed. Anyone have a setup anywhere around this area they could throw out their equipment?
Allen, is your motor getting warm/hot on the 3S and 9x6 prop you're running now?
Also, if you have any measurement of your amps and watts, that will help too.
Do you fly at full power for long, long flights?
Any measurement on amps and watts?
What size ESC are you running now?
6S is pretty high on the RPM side for that big 61" wing.
6S will put the motor/prop at over 30K RPM. That's great on a 40" plane and 6" prop, but the larger plane needs a 7" prop or larger. And to turn a 7" prop over 30K takes some serious power not available from your motor.
Looking at it again, that 3536 outrunner may just be able to run a 7x5 on 6S for around 2000W.
It won't be a top speed 7" prop, but may make a good sport flyer.
3S and 1800kv puts you around 16K RPM. You may be able to still get some good speed on the 3S setup with just a prop change.
An 8x8 prop should pull close to the same power as your 9x6. It'll get higher top speed but sacrifice climbing and make launch tougher. So if you're on the edge with launch now, it may make it too risky. But if launches are a breeze now, the decreased static thrust of the 8x8 may still be fine.
If you fly long flights now on the 9x6, you may be able to run a 9x9 prop with shorter flights to get more power and speed, but not overwork the motor and batteries.
I bet there's some more speed in that plane nearly the way it sets!

- first picture shows your current setup.
- second picture is 6S on the same motor. Since it is a 1800kv, the only way to make that work and not burn the motor is using a small diameter prop. It'll work. But forget about launching it by hand, though; you'll probably need a rocket-driven catapult or something. Bring a heat sink: the motor will have to dissipate about 350W in heat.

use a big mega in runner or scorpion outrunner
CK also has a new outrunner range that would be good for 6s
keep in mind that plane will probably fold at 120mph unless you reinforce it with more sparring and thick lam.
130mph on a 61" wing should take around 1500-2000W on an 8" prop.
Smaller prop than that and you'll likely be very inefficient, making a lot of noise but not doing much with it.
I think an 8x7 prop would be the best target prop to design a power system around, based on the wing's size and target speed.
An 8x7 at 2000W will be turning around 22,000 RPM on a motor that's running pretty efficiently.
So to get 22K on a 6S setup, you'll need a 1200-1250kv motor.
The 500 size outrunners like the Scorpion 3026-1190 can make that kind of power.
So can a good 36mm inrunner like a Mega 22/35/2E at 1215kv.
Either of those motors will run about $125.
I don't know that I'd put 2000W through a Turnigy 500 size outrunner, though, or any of the Hobby-partz type motors.
You could still run those lines, but it would take a larger motor to handle the power to get 130mph.
But then, IF YOU'RE FEELING VERY ADVENTUROUS You could hook up your present 1800kv Hobbyking motor on 6S and a 7x4 APC Sport prop.
It should be safe for your motor on 6S.
It will make a unholy racket.
Static thrust won't be too bad. Hand launching should be OK.
Don't know how fast it'll go. But it'll be a fun experience!

On the topic of motors and 6s, i have a spare align 600mx that was in my 550, replaced it with kde..... Its 1120 kv and has an assload of tourqe, little heavy buy the 6s might help balance... Anyone ever seen one on a zeph
Alright, I finally got back to finishing/sanding and prepping my TL50 for paint, but I'm concerned about the weight.
Specs are 2s 2650 x2 (4S)
Mega 16/15/4 on 6x4
28oz (tl50 so far)
4oz (engine)
3oz (control surface)
35oz (batteries)
=60oz (no paint or laminate weight included)
It's fully glassed, but that seems HEAVY compared to previous TL50 builds I've read about. Is it because I glassed it?
Should I have any concerns about hand launching or fly-ability?
They fly fantastic when heavy. You may lose a little top end when going up but its gonna carve like a dream.
Launching may be a problem if your not athletically inclined. However I've seen 70oz twin tl50 do a vertical take off. So full throttle hard toss and lay off the elevator till its moving and you'll be fine.
Perfect - reassuring words :-). Thnx

Improving a Multiple Pitch Estimation Method With AR Models
Multiple pitch estimation (MPE) methods aim to detect the pitches of the sounds that are part of a certain mixture. A possible approach to such problem is applying a FIR filter bank in the frequency domain and choosing the filter that presents more energy. This process is equivalent to performing a linear combination of frequency domain representations of a signal, hence it is a linear classification tool. When spectral lobes corresponding to existing partials merge, such process may fail. In this paper, AR models were used to provide an spectral representation where lobes tend to merge less. The proper choice of model significantly improved the MPE method.

By Staff Sgt. Stephen Schwartz, 3rd Battalion, 364th Engineer Battalion, 5th Armored Brigade, Division West Public AffairsOctober 22, 2013
MCGREGOR RANGE, N.M. -- Several noncommissioned officers from the 3rd Battalion, 364th Engineer Regiment, Task Force Rampant, 5th Armored Brigade, Division West, and Airmen from Holloman Air Force Base conducted Joint-Firefighter Training to maintain military occupational specialty proficiency on Sept. 20.
On the training grounds at Holloman Air Force Base, TF Rampant Army Firefighters trained to maintain their yearly proficiency in Structural, Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting, Wildland Fire Fighting, and Hazardous Material Training.
The noncommissioned officers of Rampant have a unique mission at Fort Bliss, Texas. They are responsible for the training and deployment of all Army Reserve and Army National Guard Firefighter Soldiers to contingency operations around the world.
Before the Reserve and National Guard firefighting teams deploy they must complete their training at Fort Bliss, and the TF Rampant firefighting team poised to train those units used this training to remain up to date on the procedures and tactics in an ever changing environment.
"Today we are here to complete our quarterly structural live fire. We have to go into the Live Fire Trainer with the units we are training to provide safety and ensure they're conducting operations safely and efficiently," said Staff Sgt. Omar De La Cruz, a station chief/training officer with TF Rampant.
As the day progressed, firefighters from both Holloman and TF Rampant completed over 12 separate rotations. Both Air Force and Army firefighters trained side by side through the smoke and heat coming from the Structural Live Fire Trainer.
"Temperatures can range from 700 to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit; we have to train for the real deal. The fire that is raging in an ASP (Ammunition Supply Point) or DFAC (dining facility) downrange will be much higher," said Sgt. 1st Class Jason Piercy, the incoming TF Rampant Fire Chief. "What we are doing today is preparing to send fellow firefighters to those places."

Help a Belding Family In Need
Proceeds go to Belding Families that have been affected by cancer. Families receive funds to help assist in daily items, such as groceries, babysitting, etc... Please consider giving a donation, no matter how big or small!Donate Now
Exciting News!
Who We Are
The B Foundation seeks to raise awareness and benefit families in the Belding community touched by cancer.
In June 2011, Mikayla Linebaugh, having recently lost her father to cancer decided to do something about it. She called her friends, coworkers and neighbors and asked them if they would be interested in getting involved. Soon after, The B Foundation was born.
The core of this foundation is that it is Belding based and that all the money raised will stay in the Belding community. By uniting local businesses, students, athletes and community members, The B Foundation was able to raise over $50,000 in its first year! Guest lecturers were brought in to educate students. Over 300 people of all ages participated in the inaugural 5k Glow Run/Walk. People turned out to help by donating to a blood drive. "A Day to Believe" turned Belding pink with pride.
Over 16 families in the Belding area have been assisted so far by our fundraising efforts. Everything from gas, to house bills, to babysitters, to books and toys have been provided to lighten the burden on families that are dealing with the effects of cancer. With your help, we can continue to offer our support to those in need while continuing to educate our youth.

Raspberry Sauce For Cake Recipe

For obvious reasons, Zimbabwe –sadly – barely registers on most people's holiday-planning radars. Whatever the current situation in the country, however, its prime tourist attraction, Victoria Falls, still draws the crowds, thanks to its position straddling the border with Zambia.
Once the poor relation of the Zimbabwean town of Victoria Falls, Livingstone in Zambia has risen from virtual obscurity to wrest the title of Africa's adventure capital from its old rival across the Zambezi. You could say that Mugabe handed the world wonder to Zambia on a plate.
Or you could point to Zambia's stability and growth as causes for the reversal of fortunes at Mosi-oa-Tunya – "The Smoke that Thunders."
Whatever the reason, Livingstone is not only awash with adventure operators, but also offers a diverse range of places to stay, from family-friendly resorts to some of Africa's most decadent lodges. Here is all you need to know about visiting one of Africa's natural wonders.
When should I visit Victoria Falls?
Although Victoria Falls are impressive year-round, the peak flood from March-April creates clouds of spray that can obliterate views. You can still feel the thunder during low-water season from July-January when the Falls dwindle.
This is also the best time for whitewater rafting. Best seen between April and August, lunar rainbows cast an ethereal glow across the Falls for three days during a full moon – scheduled in 2008 for next Sunday, May 20, June 18, July 18 and August 16.
Where are the best views?
On the Zambian side, three walking trails start near the Field Museum, the most spectacular crossing Knife Edge Bridge and probing spray-drenched rainforest to reach a viewpoint of the Eastern Cataracts.
For a ground-trembling perspective from the very lip of the Falls, Tongabezi Lodge organises breakfast, lunch, tea and even weddings on Livingstone Island, where the explorer David Livingstone is said to have peered over the edge in 1855.
The best way to appreciate the mile-wide Falls is from the air. Livingstone gushed that "scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight", but nowadays divine intervention is provided courtesy of light aircraft, helicopters, microlights and parachutes.
A typical helicopter flip over the Falls lasts 15 minutes and costs about £48 from Livingstone-based operators such as United Air Charter (00260 3 323095; www.uaczam.com).
You see the Falls, then what?
You brace yourself for a deluge of adrenalin-charged activities, ranging from bungee-jumping off Victoria Falls Bridge to jetboating in Batoka Gorge downstream of the waterfall (both about £43 per person). A full day's whitewater rafting costs about £60 per person with Bundu Adventures (324407; www.bunduadventures.com), a good one-stop shop for activities around Livingstone and the Falls.
Anything slightly less daredevil?
How about a river safari on the upper Zambezi, where you glide silently past basking crocodiles and pods of dozing hippo? Or swap a canoe for a cocktail and board the African Princess for a sunset cruise (£26).
What about something to do on solid ground?
Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park is small (26 square miles), but a three-hour game drive (£26) often turns up sightings of elephant, giraffe and white rhino. Half-day elephant-back safaris (£67) are also available, along with quad-biking and riding.
Train buffs can ride the Victoria Falls Safari Express from Livingstone to the bridge and back, while culture vultures will find rich pickings in the Livingstone Museum (containing some of Dr Livingstone's original journals and letters) and the Maramba Cultural Village with its art gallery and open-air theatre.
What is suitable for children?
Many activities have minimum age requirements: whitewater rafting (15), bungee jumping (14), canoeing (12), elephant-back safaris (10).
However, families with younger children will still find plenty to do, especially if they base themselves at the child-friendly Zambezi Sun (see below).
If you really want to splash out with the kids, Tangala House (00260 216 246090; www.safarihouses.com) pampers families with a luxurious, riverfront four-bedroom designer property with swimming pool, dedicated safari vehicle, guide and chef – and there's no minimum age.
Not cheap at £335 per adult per night (£168 for children under 14), but that does include meals, drinks and activities.
Honeymoon potential?
There's no shortage of romantic boltholes on the Zambian side of the river upstream from Victoria Falls. One of the most intimate is Tongabezi Lodge, but others include Sussi & Chuma (0027 11 438 4650, www.sanctuarylodges.com) with its 12 tantalising tree-houses perched in giant ebony trees along the riverbank, and The River Club (www.wilderness-safaris.com), which offers croquet-and-Pimm's refinement in an immaculate colonial setting.
For romance in a resort environment, newlyweds will find plenty of indulgent touches at the five-star Royal Livingstone (0027 11 780 7878; www.sun-international.com), a stylish, 173-room hotel with swimming pool, deck and shady lawns sweeping down to the Zambezi right next to the Falls.
How do I combine visiting the Falls with a safari?
Several British-based operators offer Victoria Falls and safari combinations. One of the most knowledgeable is Expert Africa (020 8232 9777; www.expertafrica.com), which can arrange a two-week trip to Zambia, with four nights' b&b at the Zambezi Sun and seven nights' all-inclusive safari at Tafika, Chikoko and Crocodile Camps in South Luangwa National Park from £2,634 per person based on two sharing, including international flights and transfers.
Four nights at the Zambezi Sun, plus a seven-night safari to Botswana (staying at Kwara Camp, Okavango Delta; Lebala Camp, Kwando Reserve and Muchenje Safari Lodge, Chobe National Park), cost from £2,629 per person. Upgrades to Songwe Village and Tongabezi Lodge cost from £94 and £166 respectively per person per night.
Further information
Guidebooks to the region include Zambia (Bradt, 2004) and Zambia and Victoria Falls (New Holland, 2007), while the official Zambia Tourism website can be found at www.zambiatourism.com.
Where should I stay?
Three Zambezi properties are found above, beside and below the Falls.
Tongabezi Lodge (0871 408 1258 or 00 260 3 327468; www.tongabezi.com) is style-central on the upper Zambezi, and has long been one of the region's most romantic and exclusive hideaways.
Accommodation includes five riverside cottages and a garden cottage with interlinked bedrooms, living room and private walled garden.
For pure indulgence, however, choose from four sumptuous open-fronted suites, each boasting king-size beds and large sunken baths with sweeping views of the Zambezi.
From £210-£328 per person per night, full board, including activities such as sunset boat trips, island picnics and canoeing.
Zambezi Sun (0027 11 780 7878; www.sun-international.com). The colourful, 212-room, three-star sibling of the Royal Livingstone, the Zambezi Sun may lack the style and intimacy of more expensive properties at Victoria Falls, but it hits the spot for families and those on a mid-range budget.
Everything is close at hand, from an activities centre and children's club to the mighty Falls themselves – just a short walk away.
Children love the large, free-form swimming pool, surrounded by lawns clipped short by zebra. The buffet lunches are excellent, too. From about £110 per person per night; children under 12 free if sharing a room with two adults.
Songwe Village (00267 686 1449; www.kwando.co.za). Reached by a rough track that weaves through thick bushveld, Songwe's eight thatched rondavels squat on the rim of Batoka Gorge three miles downstream from the Falls.
Rudimentary wooden railings are all that stand between you and a 300ft drop to the Zambezi. Each spacious rondavel has a mosquito-netted bed and open-sided ensuite room looking directly into the gorge. But it's the separate and sensational lantern-lit bathrooms – one facing the sunrise and two facing the sunset – that make the biggest impression.
Songwe has close connections with nearby Mukuni Village, where guided visits put you in contact with local people and their traditions.
From about £170 per person per night, full board, including a guided tour of the Falls, Zambezi cruise, Mosi-oa-Tunya safari, visits to Livingstone Museum and Mukuni Village and an ox-wagon trip to Songwe Field Museum.
Where can I stay on a budget?
For about £15 per night, you can check into the Fawlty Towers Hostel (www.hostels.com) in Livingstone, which has clean but basic rooms, a swimming pool, garden and booking office for activities, or head upriver to Jungle Junction (www.junglejunction.info), an island hideaway with riverside chalets and a campsite.

I notice that the firewall is enabled by default but doesn't seem to have any active rules.
What should I do in this case?
Should I block all traffic then selectively allow only port 80 and 443 for my web server?
Are there any "firewall templates" or essential firewall rule guides out there?

The fate of recombinant DNA in fallow deer (Dama dama) was investigated by feeding a diet of isogenic or genetically modified (GM) maize expressing Cry1Ab protein against the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis). To study the degradability of ingested DNA, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were introduced to detect fragments of the endogenous, highly abundant chloroplast-specific rubisco gene, the maize-specific zein gene and the recombinant cry1Ab gene. PCR analysis revealed that small chloroplast- and maize-specific DNA fragments were detectable in contents of rumen, abomasums, jejunum, caecum and colon and occasionally in visceral tissues. In contrast, no fragments of the recombinant cry1Ab gene were detectable in gastrointestinal (GI) contents. The Cry1Ab protein was analysed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblotting technique. Neither ELISA nor immunoblotting yielded positive signals of immunoactive Cry1Ab protein in GI contents and tissues of fallow deer fed with GM maize. In conclusion, after uptake of GM maize, neither cry1Ab-specific gene fragments nor Cry1Ab protein were detected in the GI tract of fallow deer, indicating complete digestion of the GM maize. Additional investigations on the germination capacity of conventional rapeseed and maize seed after ingestion by fallow deer and faecal excretion (endozoochory) were performed to draw conclusions regarding a potential spreading of germinable GM crop seed by deer. Germination tests revealed that germinable rapeseed kernels were detectable in faeces; in contrast, no intact maize seeds were found in faeces.

Doctor Who (1963–1989)
Episode List
Season 24
7 Sep. 1987Time and the Rani: Part One
The Rani, needing the Doctor's expertise, shoots down his TARDIS, crash-landing it on planet Lykertya where the Doctor dies and subsequently regenerates. She biochemically induces selective amnesia before disguising herself as Mel in order to angle him deceptively into repairing one of her broken machines. The real Mel? Left behind in the TARDIS, alive but unconscious, where she's found by a grim rebel Lakertyan who then makes off with her.
14 Sep. 1987Time and the Rani: Part Two
The Rani's deviousness inadvertently sets the Doctor and Mel against each other - she having yet seen the Doctor in his new regeneration, he believing Mel is the Rani disguised, and each thinking the other is an agent of utmost evil to be brought down. Two unanswered questions linger: Why has the Rani collected geniuses, and why is she messing around with "strange matter."
21 Sep. 1987Time and the Rani: Part Three
The solstice nears, making it time for the Rani to bring her plans into fruition. The Doctor's sympathies for Beyus, ruler of the Lykertyans, are rather qualified. Beyus' heart is for his people yet something prompts him to collaborate fully in helping the Rani reach all her objectives. The answer, he's told, lies within the Center of Leisure.
28 Sep. 1987Time and the Rani: Part Four
The Rani, at last, links the Doctor into her great brain machine, the crowning jewel in her component packet of geniuses brought together to turn Lakertya itself into one vast cerebral mass capable of redirecting time anywhere in the universe, giving her absolute power over all creation.
5 Oct. 1987Paradise Towers: Part One
The Doctor and Mel visit Paradise Towers, a apartment complex in the 21st century, only to find it rat-infested and ruined. Paradise Towers is inhabited by Rezzies (elderly women, at least some of whom are cannibals), Kangs (roving gangs of teenage girls), Pex (a cowardly young warrior who proclaims himself the local hero) and Caretakers led by a Chief whose job is to keep the apartment complex in order. But the Doctor and Mel find that robotic cleaners are killing off everyone in Paradise Towers, one-by-one. The culprit is Kroagnon, the building's award-winning ...
12 Oct. 1987Paradise Towers: Part Two
The Doctor reunites with the Red Kangs to question why no one questions the steady number of deaths at Paradise Towers. Elsewhere, Mel meets the Blue Kangs who reveal that Pex, the lone young male in the complex (who talks a good game while flanking Mel), is not nearly the heroic and capable fighter he continually boasts of being.
19 Oct. 1987Paradise Towers: Part Three
The Doctor discovers that Paradise Towers' great architect, Kroagnon, was also responsible for Miracle City, an infamous killer habitat. Though chance circumstances permit Mel to avoid a dinner date with a couple of grandmotherly cannibals, the Doctor realizes everyone must band together or be destined for the menu of a greater infamy lurking in the basement.
26 Oct. 1987Paradise Towers: Part Four
Meeting up at the pool, the Doctor leads the surviving Rezzies, Kangs and Caretakers as they draw the line together on the 245th floor against the systematic cleansing of all life by Kroagnon and his robotic Cleaners.
2 Nov. 1987Delta and the Bannermen: Part One
The Bannermen have successfully wiped out all but the last of the Chimeron - Delta, the queen, no less. She escapes with an egg and boards an intergalactic bus of Navarino vacationers heading for 1959 Earth to visit Disneyland. On that bus is Mel, followed closely by the Doctor in his TARDIS.
9 Nov. 1987Delta and the Bannermen: Part Two
The Bannermen are coming to Earth thanks to a signal from an opportunistic bounty hunter recognizing Delta. DIsneyland is safe due to a collision with a satellite that redirects the vacationers to the Shangri-La Holiday Camp in South Wales. There, the camp mechanic is smitten by the Queen Delta and her newly hatched green baby.
16 Nov. 1987Delta and the Bannermen: Part Three
The Doctor's party rallies to the house of an elderly beekeeper where the young Chimeron princess hits another growth spurt that reveals the reason why the Bannermen want the Chimeron wiped out. Meanwhile, Gavrok sets a deadly booby-trap right outside the Doctor's TARDIS, and Billy makes a heedless and irrevocable decision.
23 Nov. 1987Dragonfire: Part One
In Iceworld, a trading port on the dark side of planet Svartos, the Doctor chances across Sabalom Glitz and joins him on a treasure hunt in the frozen caverns of the planet where a dragon is rumored to resides. Meanwhile Mel and a recently fired waitress named Ace run afoul of Kane, the icy director of Iceworld, whose frozen touch means death.
30 Nov. 1987Dragonfire: Part Two
While Mel and Ace run from Glitz's former crewmen (whom he sold to Kane), officers Belazs and Kracauer conspire to overthrow Kane. The Doctor, meanwhile, discovers there really is a dragon in the ice caverns, which turns out to be a bio-mechanoid with a very interesting function.
7 Dec. 1987Dragonfire: Part Three
At last learning the location of the missing key to his spaceship, Kane has the dragon hunted down and Iceworld brutally purged of all visitors; but, the Doctor, visiting the Ice Garden, learns something significant that will put the chagrin on Kane's grand plans for home world vengeance.

Dermatologists will always love their ceramides and hyaluronic acid. But some are now equally smitten with a pack of new hydrators.
Glyceryl glucoside: A supersized version of the humectant glycerin, it pulls moisture from the atmosphere into the deeper layers of the skin and enhances the skin's water channels to boost hydration. Find it in Eucerin Professional Repair Extremely Dry Skin Lotion and Nivea Express Hydration Daily Lotion.
Selaginella lepidophylla: An extract that's both a humectant and an antioxidant, it "constantly renews the skin, making cells more cohesive to prevent water from escaping," says cosmetic chemist Ni'Kita Wilson. Try Nuxe Crème Nuxuriance Day Normal to Dry Skin.
Coconut extract: Because this has fats that are similar to those in the skin's barrier, it can replace the stuff that's so easily stripped away in winter. Try VMV Hypoallergenics Essence Hand + Body Smoother.
Niacinamide: "It strengthens the skin's outer layer to prevent water loss and speeds up cell turnover," says cosmetic chemist Jim Hammer. According to Zeichner, it also revs up production of the skin's own free fatty acids and cholesterol to keep the moisture barrier intact. Try Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Moisturizer or Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream.

EJN publishes research that represents the entire spectrum of the neurosciences. The content and style of the description of the statistical methods and the statistical results in the manuscripts submitted to EJN reflect the diverse customs of the many fields of neuroscientific research. Although EJN embraces these heterogeneous reporting and writing styles, we need to ensure a consistent description of statistical methods and results in our published papers. By definition, a scientific article should permit researchers to reproduce the study described in this article; to this end, an informative and complete description of statistical methods and results is an essential component of an effective scientific report.
The aim of this editorial is to provide guidance for the reporting of statistical methods and results. We consulted numerous specialized sources (referenced below) as well as comprehensive guidelines such as Lang & Secic (2006). Finally, the Associate Editors of EJN were consulted. As a result, the present recommendations constitute a component of the EJN Author Guidelines.
Statistical methods continue to be debated and to evolve as indicated, for example, by the ongoing discussion about mixed-effect regression models or planned comparisons as alternative approaches to traditional repeated measures ANOVAs and omnibus tests (Lavori, 1990; Gueorguieva & Krystal, 2004; Gonzalez, 2008). The present recommendations should not be viewed as a partisan stance with respect to this or other, sometimes more fundamental, discussions about the use of statistical methods and traditional null hypothesis testing (e.g. Shrout, 1997). The selection of the statistical approaches and the explanation and justification of methods remain the sole responsibilities of the authors. We expect that future 'Technical Spotlight' articles will bring some of the new developments in statistics to the readers of EJN.

The objective of an effective description of statistical methods can be readily stated: 'Describe the statistical methods with enough detail to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the reported results' (Bailar & Mosteller, 1988, p. 266).
- –Provide a clear description of the design of your study or experiment; it is often informative to state the null hypothesis.
- –Describe and justify the statistical approaches and the selection of statistical tests.
- –If you report null (or negative) statistical results and attribute significance to such results, describe the methods used to determine adequate statistical power (Cohen, 1988; Murphy & Myors, 1998).
- –Describe and justify data transformation procedures (e.g. arcsin transformation of percentage data).
- –Define all within-subject and between-subject factors.
- –Define planned comparisons.
- –For multiple comparisons and multiple correlations (e.g. Curtin & Schulz, 1998) define measures taken to reduce Type I errors (e.g. Bonferroni- adjusted alpha levels).
- –For repeated measures ANOVAs, define measures taken to control for violation of the sphericity assumption (Vasey & Thayer, 1987; Keselman, 1998); describe how you report results of corrected degrees of freedom statistics (see recommendation below).
- –Determine the alpha level used as a significance criterion for your tests.
- –State the name and version of the statistical software that was used (also company, city, state, country).

Generally, the Results section should provide a complete description of the results of the study. As such, the main statistical results should be described in this section. The reporting of statistical results in the figure legends should be limited to the results of post hoc multiple comparisons (that are often also indicated by symbols in the figures).
It is useful to reiterate the factors that were analysed by ANOVA in the Results section. To a reasonable degree, an effective Results section reiterates major aspects of the design of the study and avoids a 'dry' listing of statistical findings. It is often effective to state the main finding and its scientific meaning prior to describing the underlying statistical evidence. Readers should be able to understand the main statistical approaches and the meaning of the statistical results without returning to the section on statistical methods. Clearly, there is a fine line between reiterating statistical methods and providing sufficient information about the statistical approach that forms the basis for a particular statistical result; we encourage authors to err on the side of reiteration in order to generate an informative result section.
- –Important descriptive statistics, such as mean and standard deviation (SD), or standard error of the mean (SEM), need to be either represented graphically or numerically in the text.
- –All statements concerning significance must be qualified numerically.
- –Always report the test statistic, the degrees of freedom, the test value, and the P-value that the result occurred at chance under the null hypothesis.
- –For tests involving 1 degree of freedom (e.g. Student's t-test), state whether a directional or non-directional test was conducted.
- –Round test statistics and individual P-value equalities to two siginificant figures, if applicable.
- –To avoid ambiguities, all statistical variables should be italicized (F, t, P).
- –In accordance with Greenwald et al. (1996) we recommend reporting individual P-values as equalities rather than as inequalities in relation to an alpha criterion (e.g. P = 0.003 as opposed to P < 0.01). However, inequalities may be useful for groups of data (e.g. in Tables or graphics).
- –Ensure that all P-values defined in Figure legends and Table footnotes are linked (e.g. by symbols such as asterisks) to the corresponding data.
- –The format of the description of the statistical results should follow these examples:
- –We recommend the use of parentheses to maintain the readability of statements [e.g. 'Blockade of AMPA receptors attenuated the firing rate of ventral pallidal neurons (main effect of concentration of DNQX: F1,32 = 28.32, P = 0.03). However, the attenuation of firing rate was greater in animals lacking M1 muscarinic receptors when compared to wild type mice (interaction between effects of DNQX and genotype: F = …; main effect of genotype: F = …').].
- –Corrected degrees of freedom statistics (for omnibus repeated measures ANOVAs and if corrections are required because of violation of the sphericity assumption; see above): in order to preserve the transparency of the statistical design, we recommend reporting the uncorrected degrees of freedom together with the corrected test value; authors may also report the correction factor ε to indicate the degree of sphericity.

These suggestions and guidelines are designed to ensure consistency in the description of statistical methods and results in EJN. Obviously, special circumstances, such as data that are not normally distributed or violations of variance homogeneity, may require special methods, or evidence indicating that the validity of the selected statistical analyses was not violated. Generally, we recommend that authors obtain expert assistance when analysing their data or have their manuscript reviewed by a statistician. Valid and conclusive statistical analyses and a transparent and complete description of the statistical results are essential components of a high quality scientific report.
