Evapotranspiration (ET) is the sum of evaporation and plant transpiration from the Earth's land and ocean surface to the atmosphere. Evaporation accounts for the movement of water to the air from sources such as the soil, canopy interception, and waterbodies. Transpiration accounts for the movement of water within a plant and the subsequent loss of water as vapor through stomata in its leaves. Evapotranspiration is an important part of the water cycle. An element (such as a tree) that contributes to evapotranspiration can be called an evapotranspirator.[1]
Potential evapotranspiration (PET) is a representation of the environmental demand for evapotranspiration and represents the evapotranspiration rate of a short green crop, completely shading the ground, of uniform height and with adequate water status in the soil profile. It is a reflection of the energy available to evaporate water, and of the wind available to transport the water vapour from the ground up into the lower atmosphere. Actual evapotranspiration is said to equal potential evapotranspiration when there is ample water.
Evapotranspiration and the water cycle[edit]
Evapotranspiration is a significant water loss from drainage basins. Types of vegetation and land use significantly affect evapotranspiration, and therefore the amount of water leaving a drainage basin. Because water transpired through leaves comes from the roots, plants with deep reaching roots can more constantly transpire water. Herbaceous plants generally transpire less than woody plants because they usually have less extensive foliage. Conifer forests tend to have higher rates of evapotranspiration than deciduous forests, particularly in the dormant and early spring seasons. This is primarily due to the enhanced amount of precipitation intercepted and evaporated by conifer foliage during these periods.[2] Factors that affect evapotranspiration include the plant's growth stage or level of maturity, percentage of soil cover, solar radiation, humidity, temperature, and wind. Isotope measurements indicate transpiration is the larger component of evapotranspiration.[3]
Through evapotranspiration, forests reduce water yield, except in unique ecosystems called cloud forests. Trees in cloud forests collect the liquid water in fog or low clouds onto their surface, which drips down to the ground. These trees still contribute to evapotranspiration, but often collect more water than they evaporate or transpire.
In areas that are not irrigated, actual evapotranspiration is usually no greater than precipitation, with some buffer in time depending on the soil's ability to hold water. It will usually be less because some water will be lost due to percolation or surface runoff. An exception is areas with high water tables, where capillary action can cause water from the groundwater to rise through the soil matrix to the surface. If potential evapotranspiration is greater than actual precipitation, then soil will dry out, unless irrigation is used.
Evapotranspiration can never be greater than PET, but can be lower if there is not enough water to be evaporated or plants are unable to transpire readily.
Estimating evapotranspiration[edit]
Evapotranspiration can be measured or estimated using several methods.
Indirect methods[edit]
Pan evaporation data can be used to estimate lake evaporation, but transpiration and evaporation of intercepted rain on vegetation are unknown. There are three general approaches to estimate evapotranspiration indirectly.
Catchment water balance[edit]
Evapotranspiration may be estimated by creating an equation of the water balance of a drainage basin. The equation balances the change in water stored within the basin (S) with inputs and exports:
The input is precipitation (P), and the exports are evapotranspiration (which is to be estimated), streamflow (Q), and groundwater recharge (D). If the change in storage, precipitation, streamflow, and groundwater recharge are all estimated, the missing flux, ET, can be estimated by rearranging the above equation as follows:
Hydrometeorological equations[edit]
The most general and widely used equation for calculating reference ET is the Penman equation. The Penman-Monteith variation is recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization.[4] The simpler Blaney-Criddle equation was popular in the Western United States for many years but it is not as accurate in regions with higher humidities. Other solutions used includes Makkink, which is simple but must be calibrated to a specific location, and Hargreaves. To convert the reference evapotranspiration to actual crop evapotranspiration, a crop coefficient and a stress coefficient must be used. Crop coefficients referred to in many hydrological models are themselves the result of equations that describe predictable variation in coefficient values depending upon plant conditions that change during periods for which the model is used. This is because crops are seasonal, perennial plants mature over multiple seasons, and stress responses can significantly depend upon many aspects of plant condition.
Energy balance[edit]
A third methodology to estimate the actual evapotranspiration is the use of the energy balance.
where λE is the energy needed to change the phase of water from liquid to gas, Rn is the net radiation, G is the soil heat flux and H is the sensible heat flux. Using instruments like a scintillometer, soil heat flux plates or radiation meters, the components of the energy balance can be calculated and the energy available for actual evapotranspiration can be solved.
The SEBAL algorithm solves the energy balance at the earth surface using satellite imagery. This allows for both actual and potential evapotranspiration to be calculated on a pixel-by-pixel basis. Evapotranspiration is a key indicator for water management and irrigation performance. SEBAL can map these key indicators in time and space, for days, weeks or years.[5]
Experimental Method for measuring ET[edit]
One method for measuring ET is with a weighing lysimeter. The weight of a soil column is measured continuously and the change in storage of water in the soil is modeled by the change in weight. The change in weight is converted to units of length based on the surface area of the weighing lysimeter and the unit weight of water. ET is computed as the change in weight plus rainfall minus percolation.
Remote sensing[edit]
In recent decades, estimating ET has been improved by advances in remote sensing, particularly in agricultural studies. However, quantifying ET from mixed vegetation environs, particularly urban parklands, is still challenging due to the heterogeneity of plant species, canopy covers, microclimates, and because of costly methodological requirements. The general remote sensing-based approaches to estimate ET and their advantages and disadvantages can be seen [1]
Eddy covariance[edit]
The most direct method of measuring evapotranspiration is with the eddy covariance technique in which fast fluctuations of vertical wind speed are correlated with fast fluctuations in atmospheric water vapor density. This directly estimates the transfer of water vapor (evapotranspiration) from the land (or canopy) surface to the atmosphere.
Evapotranspiration of urban landscape plants[edit]
A review of ET measurement techniques for estimating the water requirements of urban landscape vegetation could be seen [2]
Potential evapotranspiration[edit]
Potential evapotranspiration (PET) is the amount of water that would be evaporated and transpired if there were sufficient water available. This demand incorporates the energy available for evaporation and the ability of the lower atmosphere to transport evaporated moisture away from the land surface. PET is higher in the summer, on less cloudy days, and closer to the equator, because of the higher levels of solar radiation that provides the energy for evaporation. PET is also higher on windy days because the evaporated moisture can be quickly moved from the ground or plant surface, allowing more evaporation to fill its place.
PET is expressed in terms of a depth of water, and can be graphed during the year (see figure).
Potential evapotranspiration is usually measured indirectly, from other climatic factors, but also depends on the surface type, such as free water (for lakes and oceans), the soil type for bare soil, and the vegetation. Often a value for the potential evapotranspiration is calculated at a nearby climate station on a reference surface, conventionally short grass. This value is called the reference evapotranspiration, and can be converted to a potential evapotranspiration by multiplying with a surface coefficient. In agriculture, this is called a crop coefficient. The difference between potential evapotranspiration and precipitation is used in irrigation scheduling.
Average annual PET is often compared to average annual precipitation, P. The ratio of the two, P/PET, is the aridity index.

I have a 25cm tall buxus in a pot which is about 3 years old. When it was very young, I cut a couple of it's lower branches in an attempt to encourage a ball. As a complete novice to this art, what do I do now? Do I continue to decrease the number of branches and will it eventually grow tall as I have seen in garden centres? I also have a tiny Lonicera plant that I would like to "standardise" and wish to know how to do this. Thank you in anticipation. |
Follow-Up Postings:
To make a ball you have to keep snipping the tips of new shoots so it will become thicker, then you can start shaping it until it forms a ball. If you want it to be tall just prune it a little higher each time you prune it, it will eventually become taller over time. For a standard, try and let a single stem grow upwards and nip off any side shoots until it reaches towards the height that you want it to be. As it grows taller, nip off any shoots that grow from the bottom. You might want to stake it now, so it will have support while it is growing , otherwise it might flop over. Bryan |
I have just come here from New Zealand. I can assure you lonicera is the perfect topiary plant for you in your climate conditons - in the Waikato I had to trim my lonicera topiaries regularly with electric hedgetrimmers to keep mine under control in my traditional potager garden where they enjoyed well-manured soil. They are just so marvellously vigorous. I had some in pots and some in the ground. The ones in pots need careful attention as they are such gross feeders, and really regular watering. I used slow release fertiliser (Osmakote granules) and I also used to feed them regularly with worm tea (Of course you do have a worm farm, don't you!!) About standardising - I find it really helps if you do not pinch out all of the side shoots up the stem while you are growing it to the desired height. If you leave some it helps to strengthen the stem and make it really sturdy. In New Zealand's windy climate, you MUST plant a stake, as high as the eventual finished stem height, next to the stem and tie the stem into it at intervals to keep it growing straight (don't strangle your growing stem though-I found nylon panty-hose strips perfect because they have some 'give' but are virtually indestructible...I always had a handful in the pocket of my gardening shirt.) Then just keep an eye on it, nipping out most of the side shoots as you wait for it to attain its final height. Then start allowing the shoots to bush out, nipping them out as Brian describes, until you have a nice full shape. then you can nip out your leading shoot as well. There are lots of NZ natives which can be topiarised too, I had success with kowhai, pittosporums, and was starting on hybrid manuka, even fuchsia. Buxus is great of course but even in NZ is a bit slower growing than lonicera - but if it's fed well and watered regularly it grows at 3 times the rate in the UK. And grows so easily from cuttings it's almost embarrassing! So of course does lonicera - when I did a trim session I always used to plunge a few slips into the ground in a shady spot so I had plenty of new littlies coming on - they make fabulous gifts.I am looking forward to getting started here - once I get my head around the different climate requirements which I know will make a great difference to the rate at which things mature... by the way buxus can die off very suddenly and leave you disappointed after years of work; at least with lonicera the time scale is considerably reduced bearing in mind though that lonicera is not such a long-loved plant). |

10 Tips To Re-Bond With Your Child/Children
4) TEACH your children important values and life lessons – this includes teaching your children the significant lesson of learning how to handle negative emotions by not ignoring them or pushing them aside. When some parents use messages such as "just get over it" and "you shouldn't feel that way" this can be harming and ineffective especially as they get older. Instead as a parent you will need to set limits on how your children behave when they are upset and teach them ways to manage feelings and solve problems. When you do this, you create a secure base from which children can deal with negative emotions. Also, keep in mind that one of the best ways we can teach our children is by having them see us live out the principles and guidelines we are sharing with them. Remember, they are constantly watching and learning.
5) Demonstrate TENACITY to your children – when we stick to something and remain persistent in the face of stress this is tenacity. Tenacity helps create a resilient family structure, one that generates warmth with clear limits and realistic and constructive boundaries. When families maintain commitments to setting healthy boundaries and fostering open communication this can help create a healthy and stable environment. It also lets them know you are not going to give up on them even in challenging times, which brings safety and security.
When trying to re-connect with children there can be several hurdles to overcome, so it is important for parents to put on their patience's hat and to also have self-awareness of their own personal struggles that can be triggered in the interactions with their children who they have lost connection with for whatever reason. Parents can once again find joy in their life after re-connecting with their children and observing the growth and development of them in the family.
Below are FIVE PRINCIPLES you can employ during this time of re-building the relationship with your children.
1) Foster UNIQUENESS. Every family is filled with individuals who are, though related, are much different than the others. A huge mistake is to think that you can raise and relate to each child the very same way. This can potentially build resentment between the children.
2) Be careful with RIGIDNESS in enforcing household rules. Parents can do a dis-service to their children when they have too many rules. Trust is the key to building healthy family relationships. It is essential for parents to articulate their expectations well and follow this up with consistent, fair consequences.
3) Families need RITUALS that foster togetherness. Embrace the benefits of families eating together several times a week, having meetings where each member can have a say, and outings where a son or a daughter has alone time with a parent (not as a punitive event), but a fun time where you laugh and learn more about one another.
4) Helping them develop their LEGACY. In helping them develop as a person, it is important to educate children on the highs and lows of our extended relationships. You can talk to them about deceased family members, visit gravesites and childhood homesteads, share memories of your upbringing, and the good and bad lessons you learned along the way. When you are vulnerable with your child, it will help them to open up and relate in real ways.
5) Model appropriate use of WORDS in your communication to the children and in front of them. Parents can devastate or hinder reconnection by using ill-conceived language during times of frustration such as "You always…." Or "You never….". This can really destroy their confidence in re-bonding with you and potentially in other important relationships. It is important that they hear words like "I love you," "You are valued and special," "Thank you" and "Everything is going to be okay" on a regular basis. Also, be sure to share that you love them just for who they are and be specific in your compliments. If you build love in your children, they will not lack self-confidence.
The above guidelines may seem simple; however, when it comes to reconnecting with your children, they are very powerful. It is important that COMPASSION, COMMUNICATION and COMMITMENT are consistently shown to connect with them through the rebuilding process and beyond.

Moment of Opportunity: President Obama on the Middle East & North Africa
In a major speech at the State Department, President Obama laid out his vision for a new chapter in American diplomacy as calls for reform and democracy spread across the Middle East and North Africa. He made clear that the United States will support people who call for democracy and reform and leaders who implement them, will oppose violence in cracking down on protests and efforts to limit the rights of minorities, and continue to work for peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
Watch the President's full remarks here.
Also watch the online discussion that took place afterwards with questions from all over the world via Twitter, or learn more from two White House fact sheets:

While you work within the constraints put on any Speaker, to implement the agenda of the president who's in your own party, please let San Francisco have real representation again. San Francisco values really matter to America. The City needs a Congressperson again. Let San Franciscans elect someone who needn't compromise on their every viewpoint for the sake of the Speakership. You can do this, Madame Speaker. Please make it so. Finally, as I always close my letters and emails to you, more and more futile though they seem because of your dual role nowadays: Thank you for your service to San Francisco, to California, and to the United States of America.

The Washington Post recently sponsored a panel discussion marking the 40th anniversary of the Watergate scandal. The event featured players in that drama of long ago, so I was there, along with Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein, Ben Bradlee (the Post's editor at the time of Watergate and the guest of honor at this discussion), John Dean (President Richard Nixon's counsel, who eventually testified against him), and others. I think it is fair to say that GOP stalwarts were in short supply. However, the partisan aspects of those events of four decades ago — and the devastation they wreaked on the Republican party — fade in my memory as I try to give an honest evaluation of that important time in our history.
I always approach invitations to revisit the "lessons of Watergate" with an assortment of feelings. From a personal standpoint, it was certainly a major event in the life of one 30-year-old "country lawyer" from Tennessee. I was appointed Republican attorney for the Watergate Committee, and I soon found myself in the middle of the political scandal of the century, which ultimately led to the resignation of the president of the United States and the imprisonment of scores of Republican operatives and officials, including Attorney General John Mitchell, whose certificate of appointment had been on my wall.
In Watergate gatherings and seminars, one can always expect certain things. Most or all of the bad things that happened will be attributed to Nixon's paranoia and hatred of his enemies. The press will be praised as having stood between us and Armageddon. Someone will say, in effect, that we were on the verge of losing our civil liberties — spying on peaceful anti-war demonstrators and such. There are certainly elements of truth to all of this.
But the soldiers in the Watergate wars overstate their case, happy to add layer upon layer of Shakespearean pathos and drama to the events, while failing to add any critical thinking or historical context, pushing instead the same, tired conventional wisdom. Victory not only has a thousand fathers, it also lends itself to a single heroic narrative. For me the more significant Watergate lessons — and the more relevant for today — are broader than what has been pushed on the American public these past four decades.
Watergate was in large part about the arrogance of power. It demonstrated, once again, that Lord Acton was right. Power corrupts. Older men, full of themselves, and their youthful, ambitious subordinates thought that the ends justified the means and that they could get away with illegal wiretappings, break-ins, and the targeting of their political enemies because they controlled the levers of power.
Congress and the courts asserted themselves and proved them wrong. The Founders knew what they were doing when they separated and balanced governmental powers. Federalism with limited, delineated federal power was an important part of that equation. These are lessons that are important and useful.
Today, the office of the president, along with the entire executive branch of government, grows with each administration, bringing less accountability and more opportunity for improper activity. Today, unelected bureaucrats tell states what they can and cannot do about the enforcement of their own well-established laws. Federal regulations run every aspect of American life, even as the Supreme Court regularly slaps them down. These actions on the part of the executive branch are not criminal, but neither were many of the arrogant and foolish things the Watergate crowd did. At issue here is not just a few bad individuals. At issue is the way power can be used and abused. Watergate was not the first time the darker side of human nature manifested itself, nor was it the last time.
Consider the issue of the inherent powers of the presidency, especially with regard to national security. It was activities in this area — before the crimes of Watergate took place — that are relevant and sometimes overlooked today.
What led to the Watergate cover-up was the fear that an investigation would reveal non-Watergate activities by the "plumbers' unit" in the White House, which had been set up to "plug leaks," among other things. Daniel Ellsberg had leaked the Pentagon Papers in 1970, and the plumbers broke into the office of his psychiatrist to root out information about him. They wiretapped reporters, even White House aides. The list of their offenses is long.
Inexplicably, they used two of the plumbers to break into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate, too. It was the arrests of those burglars that blew the lid off the whole thing, and the prior break-ins and wiretaps are now folklore as examples of the unscrupulousness of the Nixon White House.

Weird page width/scroll bar issue
I've got a strange problem that I was hoping some of you had heard of.
If I go to the main page of the website (really, whatever page I initially visit), everything (header, etc.) fit on the screen normally with no horizontal scroll bar appearing. However, if I click a link on that page to another page of the website, when that page loads, the header (same header on every page) will now be a little longer than the screen and a horizontal scrollbar will appear. If I hit refresh, it goes back to normal (everything fitting on the screen).
What could be causing this?

Whispers...Red Hat had first dibs on buying SUSE
Who took first and longest look at buying SUSE? Not Novell. The answer is Red Hat.
In an attempt to turn this blog into a gossip rag, I'm going to "start" posting unsubstantiated (Meaning, true or almost certainly true but with sources that I can't reveal) rumors. Fiction is always more fun. :-)
In this case, however, it's the truth. First in line to acquire SUSE back in the day was...Red Hat. Matthew Szulik decided to pass on the opportunity and, well, the rest is history. Ironic, isn't it? With whom would Microsoft have done its patent deal had Novell not been around? Would Ubuntu have started sooner to fill the competitive Linux void?
We'll never know....

Pokemon Sinnoh Journeys (ready for grading)
Marc woke at the crash of his alarm clock on a cold winter morning."5 more minutes Mum...zzz." he groaned, pulling the covers over himself.
" MARC!" A Man called from downstairs.
"You have to be ready to go to lake verity for our exploration in the cavern!"
Marc remembered suddenly and got dressed immediatly. Marc was a tall 14 year old boy with messy, dark brown hair, that stuck out everywhere. He had always wanted to be an explorer and today dream was about to become true. Marc's dad and his friend proffesor Rowan, had been planning a trip to lake verity after hearing rumors that a rare pokemon lived in the cavern there. As a treat, they decided to take Marc along too. Marc rushed outside and ran to the lake as fast as he could.
"Marc, wait! We can't go yet, we need to tell roffesor Rowan we're leaving!" too late...
As Marc ran he noticed a small red and white ball lying in the grass.
"Hmmm... iit's a pokemon. Freshly caught too. I'll take it to the olice later" he murmured.
at last he got to the lake and noticed a boy being attacked by a small bird pokemon.
"HELP! it beat my pokemon! fight it and then use this to catch it." he tossed a pokeball over to Marc, who caught it.
"go, pokeball!" he threw the pokeball contaning the pokemon he found earlier. it was a black weasel pokemouipn with a pink feather sticking out it's head. a sneasel.
"sneasel, ice shard!" the sneasel shot a small icicle at the bird pokemon, who dodged it with a double team, and then swooed down at sneasel and used arial ace. it hit sneasel full-force on the face, but he was quick to retaliate with another ice shard, sending another icicle at starly and sending him crashing to the ground, as Marc threw the pokeball and watched the bright light envelop Starly.

Re: Pokemon Sinnoh Journeys
As a grader, I feel that you may benefit from first reading
How to Write Stories
. This guide can really help with structure and suggestions.
Also - this thread,
All the Pokemon We Don't Hate
lists all the Pokemon you can capture and has the character limits for the Pokemon you're trying to capture. Starly, for example, is a Simple Mon, which requires a stroy to be 5 to 10k. Your story falls short of 2k. :/
Good luck with your writing. Perhaps once the story is improved, you'll b able to catch the Starly. :D

Re: Pokemon Sinnoh Journeys
thanks for your critique, i just rushed it, so here's hoping this one will be better
Chapter 2
The Starly burst free from the pokeball, as it flew back to the black haired, tall kid that Marc was trying to protect.
"hahaha! That was just me testing your abilities as a trainer, and you couldn't even catch a measly little Starly!" The boy jeered, as Marc gritted his teeth in anger.
"Who are you anyway!?"
"My name? I have no name. They call me X, my goal is to create a world with only the most powerful. The weak, I toss aside, but you aren't even worthy of my time. Farewell" At that he released a purple bat pokemon from a pokeball, and held on to it as it soared into the air.
"Grrr..." growled Marc in anger, "That guy thinks he's so tough? the next time I meet him, he's going down!"
"Ahh, Marc, I see you're already here! And who's this then?" Prof. Rowan had arrived and gave a nod towards Sneasel, as Marc returned him to his pokeball.
"Oh, that's my new Sneasel, I found it's pokeball just abandoned there, so I'm going to look after him."
"Excellent! You'll be needing a dark type if We're lucky enough to find Mesprit." Prof. Rowan said to Marc, who could remember everything about his lesson in types.
"So, we going anytime soon?" Marc asked. Prof Rowan chuckled at this.
"Yes,yes. This way!"
Marc followed Prof. Rowan to the edge of the lake. Marc realised that nether him nor Prof. Rowan had a water Pokemon.
"Prof. Rowan?"
"How exactly are we going to get across?"
"Oh, I'm sure you,ll think of something."
Meanwhile, In a dark place with zubat flying around endlessly, Two hooded men where talking. "I found him."
"You sure it's definetely him?"
"Then you know what to do."
"As you wish sir.""Good luck, X."
Atree smacked down to the ground with a thud, creating a bridge across the lake, result of Sneasels brick break.
"Great thinking Marc! Now we may Proceed."
However, just as Marc took a step forward, a Wurmple appeared from the tree and attacked with a tackle attack.
"Wurmple huh? This should be easy, Sneasel, use Slash!"
Sneasel prepared to strike Wurmple with his claw, but wurmple managed to stop him with a well aimed string shot to sneasels eyes, blindfolding him.
"Well, looks like we're fighting this thing blindfold, Sneasel, Use powder Snow!"
A flurry of snow fell from the sky, burying wurmple underneath, and freezing parts of the lake.
"Time to catch It! Pokeball, go!"
Marc threw the pokeball, which sucked wurmple in upon contact.
pokemon attempted to capture: Wurmple
Author's note: That has got to be one of the shortest battles ever, but then, it's a wurmple.

Re: Pokemon Sinnoh Journeys (ready for grading)
Introduction: You shouldn't redescribe your heroes, but since this is the second chapter of a story, you need to write a summary of chapter one. In this case, however, the first chapter is short, so it's not such a biggy. But remember: even if a story is the continuation of a previous story, they are completely irrelevant for the grader. You must act as if it's a brand new one.
Plot: Very simple, but a bit messed up too. Those two hooded men have nothing to do with the story, although I guess you may continue the story and use that info for something, so I am not saying anything. However, the dialogue between Marc and X is too short. X only menaces Marc and then flies away? Doesn't Marc have something to say to him? It seems that you only put it for a quick way to create some mystery. Even though you are trying for a wurmple, your story must have some structure. Also, avoid using scenarios and people from the series and games (basically scenarios, because persons from the series may also improve your story). It's a bit obvious that this is what Lucas was doing with Prof. Rowan in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.
Grammar: No grammar mistakes!
Spelling: You need to be more careful whenever you write a story. The text has only two spelling mistakes, which, nevertheless, ruin the picture of your story: nether instead of neither and where instead of were (two hooded men where talking). The first mistake is not that big, but the second one is.
Punctuation: Your story is filled with mistakes that could have easily been avoided. For example, there are capitals in the middle of periods, while some letters that need to be capitalized are small. We capitalize word that are first in a period (period is the part of the text that is between two fullstops, question marks, exclamation marks etc, but not commas, ; and :) Thus, we do not capitalize words after ;, : and commas. In addition, whenever a dialogue starts we put a capital. Furthermore, at some point you wrote "result of sneasels brick break". First, you are obliged to capitalize all pokemon related words (names, moves, items etc), and second, when you want to say that someone possesses something, we use 's, or just ' if that someone is in plural, after the someone. In other words, the foresaid phrase becomes "result of Sneasel's Brick Break (all the words of a move name are capitalized)". Going on, whenever a dialogue ends with a fullstop and there is a speech verb after it, we replace the fullstop with a comma, and the following phrase doesn't start with a capital. E.g.: "I am going to the toilet," said Tom and not "I am going to the toilet." Said Tom. However, we do not do these two if the following verb is not a direct speech verb. Say, warn, menace, cry, yell, whisper etc are verbs that describe directly the speech, but laugh or smile do not. Instead, they describe something that the person does while or after talking. E.g.: "This is the most hilarious joke I have ever heard." She laughed, But "This is … heard," she said and laughed. Finally, it's "you'll think of something" and not "you,ll think of something".
Paragraphing: We change paragraph whenever somebody new starts talking, or somebody else becomes the center of attention in the text, or the topic changes (for example, going from the description of the appearance of a hero to the description of his/her character). We do not change paragraph when we are talking about the same person, even if he talks between the narrations (e.g. "I am John!" John said to Larry. He shook hands with him and then went on. "It's nice to meet you!")
"Meanwhile, In a dark place with zubat flying around endlessly, Two hooded men where talking. "I found him.""
You have to change paragraph after talking, because you focus on one of the two men. It's like changing the center of attention.
""So, we going anytime soon?" Marc asked. Prof Rowan chuckled at this.
"Yes,yes. This way!""
You have to change paragraph after asked, because you go from Marc to Rowan, but not after at this, because Rowan is still the one having our attention, even though he starts talking. In other words:
"So, we going anytime soon?" Marc asked.
Prof Rowan chuckled at this. "Yes,yes. This way!"
Dialogues: The interior of your dialogues is ok. However, the exterior is not. It is good to always have speech verbs and relevant phrases following you dialogues. E.g.: "I cannot believe this!" is a bit dry, but gets better by adding after it he cried stunt in surprise. This could really help at the part with the two hooded men for example. Even a small "he said/answered/asked" can make a dialogue look much much better. Also, avoid having monologues, like the one with X and Marc.
Details: The only thing I have to say here is that you could use some details to make things a little clearer about what the two hooded men are talking about. Also, read below the example I wrote.
Battle: Your battle was short, but it was ok for a Wurmple. However, I do have one complaint to make. Sneasel uses Powder Snow and, puff, a layer of snow appears out of nowhere and covers the whole area. Didn't any clouds gather up, didn't the temperature fall before the snow fall? And since it's POWDER Snow, shouldn't the attack be more gentle and not instantly freeze the lake.
Given this opportunity, I will give you an example:
""… use powder snow!"
Sneasel stopped moving and turned his head towards the sky and clouds began to gather up. Marc bristled as soon as he felt the temperature falling. Wyrmple was watching pinned by its fear.
"This wasn't smart. We are going to turn into ice cubes!" Marc thought, as it was the first time he had ever used this move. He turned around to notice that Prof. Rowan was sharing the same thought with him, judging from the old man's facial expressions.
Snowflakes started appearing from above. At first, the snowfall was gentle. But soon it was snowing heavily. Nevertheless, the snowflakes were still softly touching the ground, as if they were weightless. Yet a fat layer of snow was slowly covering the area, and poor Wurmple, being a short and tiny pokemon, was getting buried in it.
Marc realised that there was no point in keeping the attack going. He thus ordered Sneasel to stop summoning snow and the weather was instantly sunny and clear again. The snow began melting, so Marc realised this was his chance to capture Wurmple, now that it was still freezing from the cold snow around it.
"Time to catch it!" he exclaimed. "Pokeball, go!" he went on and threw the pokeball at the bug pokemon.
The ball hit the Wurmple, opening up and sucking the pokemon within. It then fell in the snow, moving around and wobbling. Marc was watching silently."
All this text emerged from two lines of your story. You can be ultra descriptive anytime. This is a Wurmple story, so the two lines acceptable. However, as you write harder stories, you need to include descriptions like the one above. You need to think what exactly is happening and how the hero reacts to that. You nedd to say what happens (powder snow attack), how it happens (turn head towards sky, clouds gather, temperature fall, snowflakes and then snowstorm) how it affects the surroundings (layer of snow) and, in case of moves, if they were successful (Wurmple gets buried). Then, you need to think what your hero has to say about that and add that between the descriptions. It is also good writing how the hero responds to the events through his five senses. For example, I wrote that he got cold and bristled. In another story, you could write that smelling the awful stench from the attacking Grimer, he/she almost vomited. Or that, hearing the screech attack, he/she covered his/her ears in pain and shook all over.
So you can do in dialogues. It is good writing how one person reacts to somebody else's words. For example,
"I like licking dirt off the floor," exclaimed Jim to Tiffany.
"This is… Uhhh! I cannot even describe it!" cried Tiffany opening her mouth in disgust.
The "opening the mouth in disgust" is actually her reaction to what she just heard. You could say that writing stories is like solving a murder case.
If you follow these tips, you may end up writing more than you want, while improving your story. In other words, you may get the chance to try for a harder pokemon instead of the one you are aiming at.
Length: You story is 2,571 characters, which means it needs more words. Remember that previous chapters do not count in. A few more details should do the trick.
Outcome: Well, your story has quite a few flaws. Thus, Wurmple not captured. What I want you to do is copy and paste your story in a new post and fix all errors in punctuation, paragraphing and spelling, as well as to improve the description of Powder Snow and the dialogues by adding speech verbs. No need to make the changes distinguishable. Your story is small so I can read it all over. If you need anything, feel free to post and ask. My job here isn't to punish you, but to help you write better stories. And don't let this failure get you down! It happens to everyone!

2014 Oscar Prediction: Best Picture
Academy Awards By Rob Hunter on February 28, 2014 | (3) CommentsNebraska
Why It Was Nominated
Alexander Payne is no stranger to the Oscars, and his latest film speaks to a flyover audience often neglected by Hollywood. Its simple premise and father/son dynamic result in an alternately sweet and caustic look at people, family, and the expectations we place upon ourselves.
Why It Might Win
It won't, but if it did it would be because the octogenarian Academy members want to reward a color scheme that speaks to them and their youth.
Why It Might Not Win
Like a few other nominees this year, the loudest praise for the film is focused strictly on the actors. Bruce Dern, June Squibb, and even Will Forte are all fantastic here, but it's their performances that are memorable instead of the way in which their presented, captured, or told. Ultimately, it's an incredibly slight film.
Why It Was Nominated
The bond between a mother and her child is an indelible one, and this true story of a woman searching for the child that was taken from her over half a century prior is an emotionally charged one. A sweet older woman, a cynical middle-aged man, and the potentially villainous Catholic church collide in a story about love and persistence.
Why It Might Win
It won't, but if it did it would be because it's cool to hate on the Catholic church, and too many viewers walk away with that myopic view as to what the film is actually saying.
Why It Might Not Win
Some voters may actually take offense at what they perceive the film says about the church while others may feel it doesn't go far enough in its condemnation. Also, while Judi Dench and Steve Coogan both do fine work here the film lacks staying power in your heart or mind.
12 Years a Slave
Why It Was Nominated
British director Steve McQueen's third feature film is his most acclaimed, and it tackles a very American issue in a way few films have. You have to go back to 1977's Roots television miniseries to find something that matches its reach, impact, and sincerity on the subject of slavery. It's a true story, a heartbreaking one at that, and it comes to life through impeccable production design, an emotionally demanding script, and some of the year's best performances.
Why It Might Win
The best argument as to why the film will win is in the stats. McQueen's film is nominated for nine Oscars including Best Picture, and it's already won the top prize from the Golden Globes, BAFTA, AFI, BFC, OFCA, PGA, and several regional critics groups. Oscar "experts" and Las Vegas odds makers have the film as a heavy favorite as well. Beyond that, it's possible voters may agree with 20th Century Fox's ad campaign that "it's time" to award a serious film about the black experience. The cynics out there might give some weight to the idea that Academy members will vote out of guilt, but all of this ignores one simple fact: 12 Years a Slave is a great and important film.
Why It Might Not Win
In a word, Gravity. Alfonso Cuarón's film is the only real competition and has been dogging Slave's heels throughout award season. Cuarón has also been snapping up the Best Director awards left and right, and while that may only signify a Best Director Oscar for him it hints that Gravity has a healthy number of supporters.
The Wolf of Wall Street
Why It Was Nominated
Martin Scorsese has seen all but one of his six films since 2000 receive an Oscar nomination for Best Picture, and with his latest film earning some of his best reviews and being his highest-grossing, there seems to be nothing stopping the 71 year old.
Why It Might Win
As mentioned, this is one of Scorsese's most acclaimed films in a career filled with critically-lauded masterpieces. The vitality he brings to the story is an integral part of the film's success, and while many of the nominees relate stories from the past this one has far more of a bearing on our present. And let's not forget that the damn thing's hilarious, too.
Why It Might Not Win
The film is not without its detractors, some of whom have called the film out for glorifying the decadent behavior it's displaying. Viewers aligned with that perspective see the film as a reward to Jordan Belfort and all the white collar criminals like him, and adding an actual award to that would be an even greater travesty. Regardless of which side of the argument you fall on, legitimate gripes remain including the realization that the film says nothing in well over two hours that it couldn't have said in well under.
What Should Win:
Of the nominees, Her is the one most deserving of Best Picture. Unfortunately, the two films even more deserving didn't even rate a nomination. Upstream Color remains the year's best film with Inside Llewyn Davis being a very close second.

Nearly 30 chefs will offer foods from roast duck with cherry and fig chutney to panna cotta and cake pops at an event celebrating Arizona women in the culinary arts.
Called Getting Our Just Desserts, the Saturday soiree will feature a variety of food samples from an all-female roster of chefs, as well as workshops on chocolate, olive oil, cheese, tea and food photography.
The event is a fundraiser for Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP), a group that works with public schools to prepare high schoolers for college and careers in the restaurant and hospitality industry.
"We have chefs who own their own restaurants or catering companies, chefs who work for the top restaurants and resorts in the Valley, and we also have culinary business owners," says Almira Wagley, spokeswoman for C-CAP. "They're going to be creating a mix of sweet and savory things, so it's not all sugary," she says.
Among the chefs in attendance will be Hilton Phoenix East/Mesa executive chef Renae Hannum, a Scottsdale Culinary Institute grad recognized as the youngest executive chef among all of Hilton North America's properties, and Tricia Guerrero, culinary instructor at East Valley Institute of Technology.
Experts such as Jeff Grenfel, cheese monger at Cheuvront Restaurant and Wine Bar in Phoenix, and Pat Perrigo, director of the photography department at the Art Institute of Phoenix, will lead the workshops.

I need to know is there any remedy for removing the haze from mirrors. They are new mirrors, so when a cloudy appearance started to appear I rubbed in vain but the hazyness is still there. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If the haze can be attributed to hair product spraying then use straight ammonia. |
I know the frustration about hazy mirrors. Try a mixture of 3 parts white vinegar to one part water. Use a clean cloth (wrung out twice) to wipe mirrors and then dry with scrumpled up newspapers. That's what they used to use in the olden days and they had sparkling windows. |

I have heard that if you use Shaving Cream- it will clean the windows and act as a de-fogger for future showers. The great thing is that you can get a can for $1 at the dollar store. |

text: Mr Palm's remarks during the reintegration of juveniles programme on 8 June 2011We are here to discuss the best practice for treatment of juveniles in the penitentiary. We want to increase chances for juveniles to fully reintegrate into society. Significant change has already taken place in Albania. Generally, treatment of convicts in the penitentiary has become more humane. Authorities are now perfecting their interventions, in particular in relation to the treatment of juveniles, in line with internationally accepted standards of care and development. We heard that the Kavaja institute for reintegration is making a difference. This difference is brought about not only by a new building. Of course, the physical conditions are important. They provide for a better climate between convicts and staff, for group work, and activities. But it is the reintegration programme and the people who make a difference. Half of the staff members are trained social workers, educators - also in the area of vocational training, or psychologists. This is very progressive. This is how it should be. Let's just remind ourselves that the path to improved reintegration practice started in 2007. Together with the General Directorate of Prisons and CRCA, UNICEF supported the "The Sky is for all" programme in Vaqarr. At that time, the Vaqarr facility provided very limited programmes. But the change in the behaviour of juveniles was evident. The programme was transferred to Kavaja with good success and is expected to be fully incorporated into the institute's curricula. Both civil and security staff went through extensive training. The Kavaja institute was recently assessed to have the capacity to manage reintegration programmes and help juveniles in difficult situation. This is a commendable achievement. Today we move a further step in the same direction. We recognize that for all children in detention, conditions should enable full reintegration. When almost 70% of juveniles spend their sentence awaiting trial, the conditions in pre-trial detention are of utmost importance. UNICEF now supports free legal and psychosocial assistance to juveniles in pre-trial detention in 7 districts. We also support the implementation of community service orders and mediation programmes in those districts. It remains a challenge to make these services available in the remaining pre-trial detention sites. Other measures are needed to make sure that fewer children are imprisoned, especially while awaiting trial. All options need to be explored to divert children from the justice system, where they are likely to get a criminal record that will burden them for the rest of their life. The principle of using detention as a measure of last resort needs to be rigorously applied. The criteria for the use of security measures, and lead times for investigation and court proceedings need to be reviewed and enforced. (Story from Kavaja?) Presently, almost 40 percent of juveniles accused of petit crimes, often theft, wait in detention for 5-7 months for their trial. Services such as those we are promoting today are important, and will help those kids. But the decision for detention must be proportional to the crime. That often means that children should await trial while at home and going to school. Let me conclude by mentioning that we presently work with the Ministry of Justice to develop a strategy on child friendly justice. The strategy will address juveniles in conflict with the law, children as victims and witnesses of crime, and support to children under the age of criminal prosecution. This Friday, the strategy will be presented in the Juvenile Justice Committee of the International Consortium. I like to invite all of you to help us with comments and recommendations. A comprehensive strategy that focuses on prevention, alternatives to detention, diversion, and on procedural guarantees for children in contact with the law will be an important step in creating justice for children. |

World English Bible (WEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. | 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. |
15 Brothers, I speak like men. Though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it. | 15 Brothers, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. |
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn't say, "To seeds," as of many, but as of one, "To your seed," which is Christ. | 16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. |
17 Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect. | 17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. |
18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise. | 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise. |
19 What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator. | 19 What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator. |
20 Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one. | 20 A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one. |
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most assuredly righteousness would have been of the law. | 21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. |
22 But the Scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. | 22 But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. |
23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, shut up to the faith which should afterwards be revealed. | 23 Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. |
24 So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. | 24 So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. |
