Wars have been waged over the stupidest things, but in 1937, Japan took it a step further. That was the year that a minor incident led to the skirmish which caused the Second Sino-Japanese War, and later, the Pacific Theater of WWII. And what was this minor incident?
A full bladder.
Our story takes place at the Lugou (Lu Ditch) Bridge in Beijing's Fengtai District. The original was built in 1189 by Emperor Shizong to extend the city's reach. In the 13th century, Marco Polo visited China and waxed lyrical about that bridge, so Europeans renamed it after him.
Fast forward to 1868. Impressed with Europe, Japan launched the Meiji Restoration to modernize itself by copying all things western. And since Europe had carved up the world, Japan decided to do the same, starting with China.
Japan, therefore, invaded in 1894, launching the First Sino-Japanese War, which ended the following year to China's loss. Japan then gobbled up more Chinese territories in the east, while European countries did the same in the west and south.
Japan and Russia eventually squabbled over the Manchukuo region, leading to the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905). To everyone's surprise, Japan won and, as a result, was given a lease over the area. Instead of uniting the country, however, China continued to fragment as different factions vied for control over what was left.
At least till the Mukden Incident. On September 18th, 1931 the Japanese tried to blow up their own South Manchuria Railway near Mukden (today's Shenyang). Fortunately, they did such a bad job of it that trains were able to use it mere minutes after the first explosions. Unfortunately, that wasn't the point.
Accusing the Chinese of sabotage, Japan expanded their occupation, consolidated their occupied territories, and created the puppet state of Manchukuo. It didn't take long for the international community to realize what had happened, leading to Japan's expulsion from the League of Nations in 1933.
Not that they gave up Manchukuo. Faced with a useless League and an invasive West, the warring Chinese factions finally put aside their differences. In December 1936, the Kuomintang (KMT) made peace with the Communist Party of China (CPC), resulting in the Xi'an Incident.
Called the United Front, this new alliance couldn't deal with two enemies at once. So they focused on the Japanese, who were the immediate threat.
By 1937, Japanese troops were lodged in Fengtai – then a separate and heavily forested district to the southwest of Beijing. To protect the capital from attack, Fengtai used to be dotted with walled cities. Of these, Wanping protected the Marco Polo Bridge which led directly into Beijing.
To keep people on edge, Japanese troops would conduct military maneuvers throughout Fengtai. The Chinese government wasn't too happy, but there was absolutely nothing they could do about it. They did ask the Japanese to give advanced notice of when such maneuvers would take place to calm the local residents.
The Japanese agreed, but had no intention of keeping their word. By July, more maneuvers continued near the bridge without advanced warning. At times, they performed exercises near the Chinese troops.
Chinese civilians and military personnel were very tense. The Japanese had a well-earned reputation for using any pretext as an excuse for further aggression, but it wasn't easy. Travel between the towns throughout Fengtai was difficult because of the Japanese soldiers, and many felt uneasy about using the bridge for the same reason.
Things finally came to a head on July 7th, 1937. Sometime around 11 PM, the Japanese launched yet another of their unannounced training exercises around Wanping and the Marco Polo Bridge. The town's troops were used to it, by then, but they remained tense as they watched the Japanese wheeling about outside.
Enter Private Shimura Kikujiro and his full bladder. Sometime during the maneuvers, he decided to go on an unscheduled bathroom break. Most of Fengtai didn't have electricity until very recently, however, so toilets weren't exactly plentiful back then. Not man-made ones, at any rate.

Joe Hockey gets a 10 for courage, an eight for fiscal responsibility and a three for keeping commitments in a high-risk budget that will test the discipline, cohesion and salesmanship of the entire Abbott government.
Whether Tony Abbott gets to implement his program across two terms (or more) will depend on whether voters agree that the pain being imposed has a purpose and forgive the multiple breaches of faith. Will they reward the courage or punish the infidelity?
Also critical will be whether Hockey is right in asserting that the cuts will not further dampen consumer and business confidence and weaken an already sluggish economy in a state of transition, where the unemployment rate is tipped to edge higher to 6.25 per cent.
The Treasurer has minimised this risk by opting for genuine structural reform that begins slowly and builds over time – and by offsetting the cuts in payments by boosting infrastructure. He deserves credit for securing almost 80 per cent of the improvement in the budget bottom line the hard way – from cuts in spending, rather than short-term fixes such as efficiency dividends – and for being candid in declaring that this is only the start of the budget repair project.
The economic rationale is that the savings kick in when they are most needed to help the budget, from 2017, and that the infrastructure spending will be a catalyst for more spending by states and the private sector. The political cleverness is that much of the tough medicine, such as indexing the age pension to inflation rather than wages, doesn't begin until after the next election.
By then, there will also be plans for tax reform, federation reform and workplace reform on the table, and a compelling case for increasing the GST to help the states find the money that will be needed to pay for hospitals and schools. There may also be the lure of tax cuts.
The rub is that pensioners and benefit recipients will feel the pinch at precisely the time when the "temporary budget repair levy" on high income earners disappears, and well after the pollies' pay freeze is forgotten.
Having been less than candid with voters before last year's election, Abbott and Hockey appear determined to be totally upfront in 2016. For that, they deserve credit, too. Predictably, they maintain they are keeping faith with what they retrospectively describe as their most fundamental election commitment – fixing the budget.
But whether university students, struggling families, the unemployed, motorists and pensioners agree will be revealed in the months and years to come.
Certainly, budget repair was at the heart of the Coalition's mantra in 2010 and 2013, along with stopping the boats, scrapping the carbon and mining taxes and building the roads of the new century. But this promise was heavily – and unnecessarily – qualified in scripted and unscripted remarks by Abbott in the lead-up to last year's election.
After repeatedly promising tax cuts without new taxes, no increases to existing taxes, and no cuts to health, education, the ABC or spending on indigenous programs, Abbott declared at his campaign launch: "The worst deficit is not the budget deficit, but the trust deficit."
Now, the budget deficit is reined in but the trust deficit continues to blow out.
Now, with record low ratings for an incoming prime minister, Abbott has to rebuild trust with an electorate that has already made its feelings plain on the fuel excise increase, the Medicare co-payment and, to a lesser extent, the deficit levy for the wealthy.
He aims to achieve this by wielding a big stick and a modest carrot. Motorists, for instance, are being told the extra fuel excise will be spent on improving roads. The sick are told the extra cost of going to the doctor will help create the world's biggest medical research endowment fund. Those who face the prospect of working longer are told employers will be given an incentive to give them a job if they are over 50 and on the dole.
But there are many unknowns, including whether freeing up universities, so they can compete "with the best in the world", will put them out of reach of the next generation of students – or, at least, those put off by the prospect of paying back higher tuition fees when they are in the workforce.
The bigger question is whether voters will buy the narrative that underpins the budget. Will they accept that Hockey is not imposing austerity, but presenting opportunity in the form of a viable and reasonably well-calibrated plan to make the welfare system sustainable.
Will we buy the line of Abbott to his troops before the detail was revealed on Tuesday: that "this is a watershed moment when a bold new government does what has to be done and sets the nation on a better course"?
The case for action is compelling, and summed up by one statistic: that, without policy change, spending on the pension is projected to increase by 70 per cent over the next decade.
But the challenge is mighty. For all the waste and duplication in spending on indigenous programs, can half a billion be saved over five years without compromising the goal of closing the gap? For all the lack of accountability of government agencies, can some 230 programs be abolished and 70 bodies shut without discarding valuable services?
These are big questions, which is why Abbott was not over-reaching when he told his MPs this is a critical week in the life of the government – and the country. Having been less than frank before going to the polls last time, his promise now is that nothing will be hidden when he next faces the people.

Washington: The US Navy has successfully launched an unmanned plane off the deck of an aircraft carrier for the first time in what officials called a breakthrough for robotic aviation.
The bat-winged X-47B drone took to the air after being launched by a catapult aboard the George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier off the coast of Virginia, a Navy spokeswoman said.
"I can confirm it was successfully launched at 11.18am," said Navy Lieutenant Katie Cerezo.
The aircraft carried out several low approaches to the carrier before landing in Maryland at the US naval air station at Patuxent River after a 65-minute flight, the Navy said.
The test flight marked the first catapult launch of a robotic, unmanned plane from a carrier at sea, and Navy officers called it a "milestone".
"This historic event challenges the paradigm of manned carrier landings that were first conducted more than 90 years ago," Rear Admiral Mat Winter, who oversees unmanned aviation for the Navy, wrote on the service's website.
The experimental aircraft, which looks like a smaller version of the B-2 stealth bomber, is supposed to clear the way for a new line of drones that would carry out bombing raids from a carrier.
The Air Force and Army already have a large fleet of robotic aircraft but the Navy hopes to catch up with the X-47B, the unmanned Fire Scout helicopter and other drones that can stay in the air for hours to spy or attack an adversary.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: On October 5, 2015, the Chilean government announced that it has created the largest marine reserve in the Americas by protecting an area hundreds of miles off its coast roughly the size of Italy. The new area, called the Nazca-Desventuradas Marine Park, constitutes about 8 percent of the ocean areas worldwide that have been declared off-limits to fishing and governed by no-take protections. Learn More
The Desventuradas Islands (the 'unfortunate islands' in Spanish), located 530 miles off the coast of Chile, are one of the most mysterious and unknown places in the Eastern Pacific. San Ambrosio (uninhabited) and San Félix (with only a small garrison of the Chilean Navy) had likely never been filmed underwater, and there was very little scientific information about the underwater world of these islands. The Pristine Seas project identified the area surrounding the Desventuradas Islands as one of a handful of potentially pristine environments left in South America.
In February-March 2013, National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Enric Sala led an expedition to these remote islands in collaboration with partner Oceana Chile to explore, survey, and film this unknown world, from the surface to thousands of meters below.

GRANT Basey fired in a stoppage time penalty to ensure Wycombe enjoyed late drama for the second week running.
The left-back made no mistake with a pressure penalty as Wanderers looked set to go down to a harsh defeat at the Lamex Stadium.
It means they remain two points from safety and keep their unbeaten run going.
They competed well with promotion-chasing Boro in a game that had plenty of bite and commitment from both sides.
But they looked set for defeat to the play-off hopefuls when Michael Bostwick struck with four minutes to go but Basey held his nerve after Craig Easmond was fouled in the box late on.
Blues' top scorer Stuart Beavon had an early sighter with a free-kick before goalkeeper Nikki Bull pulled off a point-blank save to stop a Scott Laid header.
The miss of the game was provided by Boro's Lawrie Wilson who looked certain to score but sliced his shot wide from eight yards on 22 minutes.
Wycombe struggled to create much in the first-half with Chris Hackett seeing a shot parried and Ben Strevens firing the rebound into the side netting.
Boro started the second-half well with captain Mark Roberts heading over and Luke Freeman forcing Bull to tip over a long-range effort.
But Wycombe put the home side under pressure themselves in a decent second-half spell with Beavon seeing his near post shot blocked by Day before blasting narrowly just before the hour mark.
The breakthrough came on 86 minutes when Michael Bostwick fired in a 20-yard effort with four minutes to play.
But, after Eastmond was tumbled in the box, the unlikely Basey stepped up to rifle home the penalty to earn a late point for the second week running.
STEVENAGE: Day, Wilson, Laird, Ashton, Myrie-Williams, Byrom, Roberts, Henry, Bostwick, Freeman (Reid 72), Charles (Agyemang 43).

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh is keeping a roster spot available in the unlikely case Ray Lewis can return for the postseason. The linebacker underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a torn right triceps muscle. Lewis goes but injured reserve with the new "designated to return" tag which enables a player to be re-actived after a minimum of six games.
The move seems more symbolic than realistic for a reeling Ravens defense that ranks 26th against the run and is coming off allowing two consecutive 200-plus rushing performances in wins against Kansas City and Dallas.
"Obviously, it's a very serious injury but there's an opportunity and we're going to keep the door open and we'll just see where that goes," Harbaugh said during his pre-practice news conference. "We really don't know any more than that."

commissioned for Chapter 1 of Jerusalem
On the outdoor stage just outside the Music Department ...
... a series of texts on cards drawn from a discussion on an on-line forum. A prospective student poses a question concerning the aesthetics of the UEA campus.
Along a trajectory connecting five locations ...
... a procession through the campus. At each of the designated locations, we paused. A question for the campus amplified through a megaphone. A response, also played through the megaphone -
a fragment of Stockhausen's

On the grassy area between the Ziggurats and the Broad

Supposedly an explicatory blog post is forthcoming, but what do you think, readers? Controllers for some cool projected UI like the "Sixth Sense"? Simply as a tactile sensor for magnetic fields?

NOISE: Long exposures are prone to noise in shadow and midtone areas, even at the base ISO.
BURNOUT: High contrast scenes can pose issues with highlights burning out easily.
METER: Scenes with even contrast are generally metered accurately with Segment
LOW LIGHT: Low light performance is up with the best compact cameras, but cannot compete with larger sensor cameras, due to noise and slow autofocus.
COLOURFUL: Colours are normally reproduced quite vividly using default settings.
HDR: The Auto HDR feature is useful for contrasty scenes, but images could benefit from a little adjustment in image editing software afterwards.
BLUR CONTROL: The small sensor means it can be difficult to blur backgrounds. The Blur Control feature does a decent job of creating a shallow depth of field effect, but doesn't always get the effect right.
DETAIL: Levels of detail are good when compared to other compact cameras.

St. Petersburg, FL - January 28, 2009....In response to the on-going global economic slowdown and resulting changes in demand requirements from customers, Jabil plans to cut its manufacturing capacity in certain geographies and to shrink its worldwide workforce of 85,000 by approximately 3,000. Jabil said the restructuring will appropriately align its manufacturing sites with the Company's current customer demand outlook and increase operational efficiencies. Approximately ten global plant sites will be impacted, and approximately ten percent of the headcount reductions will take place in the United States.
Jabil said that as a result of the restructuring, the Company currently expects to realize $55 million in annualized cost savings. The Company currently expects to recognize approximately $65 million in pre-tax restructuring and impairment costs over the course of fiscal years 2009 and 2010. The majority of these costs are currently expected to be recorded in the Company's operating results for the fiscal quarter ending February 28, 2009. The cash cost of such charges is currently estimated to be $54 million incurred over the course of fiscal years 2009 and 2010.
Restructuring at certain foreign plants is subject to consultation with Jabil employees and their representatives. A significant portion of the restructuring costs will be related to employee benefit and severance arrangements.

Agilent Technologies Introduces Two Portable Oscilloscope Families That Set New Standards in Price/Performance, Measurement Accuracy
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 01 May 2014 Release date- 29042014 - SANTA CLARA, Calif.- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced two new high-performance portable oscilloscope series deploying next-generation oscilloscope technology.
The Infiniium S-Series sets a new standard for signal integrity for bandwidths up to 8 GHz, while the InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series sets a new standard for price/performance with bandwidths up to 6 GHz.
See a short video overview of the new oscilloscopes at www.agilent.com/find/newstandard.
The Infiniium S-Series has the world's fastest 10-bit ADC. Compared with traditional scopes with 8-bit ADCs, the S-Series has four times the vertical resolution for precise viewing of signal detail. Coupled with a new low-noise front end, the S-Series delivers an ENOB (effective number of bits) for the system of more than eight, the highest in the industry. The series includes bandwidths from 500 MHz to 8 GHz with four-channel DSO models and 16-digital-channel MSO models. Standard memory is 50 Mpts per channel or 100 Mpts per channel when interleaved, the deepest in the industry.
The S-Series features the industry's most comprehensive application-specific measurement software, fueled by a powerful motherboard with 8-GB RAM, ensuring the scope stays responsive in all operating modes. Fast boot-up time and increased reliability is made possible with its solid-state drive. The 15-inch (38.1-cm) multitouch capacitive display is the largest in the industry, making it easier to see results and easier to use. Agilent also provides options for integrating MATLAB capabilities directly into the oscilloscopes, further increasing their measurement and analysis power for customers.
The new InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series is the first oscilloscope to offer 6 GHz bandwidth starting at $29,500, less than half the price of competitors' oscilloscopes with comparable bandwidths. The new lineup includes 2- and 4-channel DSO models and MSO models with 16 digital channels and with bandwidths from 1 GHz to 6 GHz at 20-GS/s sample rate. The 6000 X-Series oscilloscopes offer these capabilities for the first time in an oscilloscope of this size. Its weight of 6.8 kg (15 lbs.) and depth of 15 cm (6 inches) are one-third of similar bandwidth products on the market today, setting a new standard for portability in multi-GHz-bandwidth oscilloscopes.
The 6000 X-Series visualization experience starts with a 12.1-inch multitouch capacitive touchscreen. It lets engineers visualize and isolate more anomalies with its 450,000-waveform-per-second update rate and the hardware InfiniiScan Zone touch trigger. For the first time in an oscilloscope with an embedded operating system, the InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series offers a jitter and real-time eye diagram analysis option that provides an intuitive but powerful way to visualize jitter and eye diagrams of digital signals in embedded designs. Used with the standard color grade and histogram features, it augments engineers' characterization and debugging efficiency. Also for the first time, localized voice control in 14 languages allows precise scope control and signal visualization while an engineer's hands are occupied.
The Agilent InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series extends instrument integration to six instruments in one: oscilloscope, logic analyzer (MSO), protocol analyzer, dual-channel WaveGen function/arbitrary waveform generator, digital voltmeter, and for the first time in any oscilloscope, a 10-digit counter totalizer. The new 10-digit counter has 3.2-GHz bandwidth, and the totalizer counts trigger-qualified events in addition to edges.
'Customers working on higher-speed digital designs and RF embedded designs can choose between these two new oscilloscope platforms, depending on their needs and budget,' said Jay Alexander, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Oscilloscope and Protocol Division. 'Both series offer excellent signal integrity, signal visualization and analysis capability, and significant usability innovation to help engineers overcome their debugging challenges.' For general-purpose, high-speed differential probing with the Infiniium S-Series oscilloscopes, today Agilent also introduces the new InfiniiMax III+ probing solutions, including 4-GHz, 8-GHz and 13-GHz differential active probes and new QuickTip accessories for InfiniiMax probes. The InfiniiMax III+ probes work with the full array of InfiniiMax III probe heads, including a wide range of solder-in probe heads, a browser head, ZIF (zero insertion force) tips, 2.92-mm/3.5-mm/SMA heads and the new QuickTip head.
Additional information on the InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series oscilloscopes is available at www.agilent.com/find/6000X-Series. Information on the Infiniium S-Series oscilloscopes is available at www.agilent.com/find/S-Series. The company's complete line of oscilloscopes is available at www.agilent.com/find/scopes.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Anxiety disorders are a very common disorder and all psychiatrists are equally trained for treating anxiety disorder. Specialization in anxiety disorder is not specially required for treating such common disorder.
So I am not going to recommend any particular psychiatrist for this and in my view you can consult any psychiatrist near by your area.
we can discuss further regarding the type of treatment options in her case.
yes you can take help of several online websites for this purpose
I am forwarding the links to you, please wait
Find a Psychiatrist
Choosing a Psychiatrist is an important decision.
You are looking for a psychiatrist regarding your daughter, has she been diagnosed already as suffering from anxiety disorder?
Top psychiatrist search engine
OK, I am also forwarding you a link about anxiety disorders which is from a very trusted source and hopefully will be helpful for you
Anxiety, Panic and phobia
Assuming that your daughter is suffering from anxiety disorders, these disorders respond very well to treatment in most cases and simply starting a SSRI antidepressant like Sertraline or Escitalopram with or without a low dose benzodiazepine like Clonazepam is sufficient in controlling the symptoms for majority of cases.
You are most welcome, please feel free to discuss further if you have any other query to ask.
do you have any other question right now to ask?
You are most welcome once again.
If you are satisfied with my answer please rate one of the positive ratings (3,4,5) as this is the only way how we are compensated for our time and expertise.
Kind regards
well, you can reply back by pressing the reply button or can post another question starting with "for doctor Vikas only"

Home > Opinion > Louise Dodson > Article
By making Telstra's sale appear a boon for the bush, the Coalition makes things hard for Labor, writes Louise Dodson.
The sale of Telstra has always been unpopular in Australia - especially in the new outer suburbs and regional areas where service levels lag behind those in the metropolitan areas.
Which is why Prime Minister John Howard has turned its privatisation debate into one about provision of services to the bush and new suburbs.
The Telstra sale tag of about $28.5 billion comes with a bag of goodies for the bush and outer metropolitan areas costing $181 million. By the time that money is spent, the sprawling outer suburbs, regional towns, coastal retirement developments and farms should have state-of-the-art telecommunications systems and services. Mobile telephone service should rival that provided in the centre of the major cities.
Telstra will also be required to ensure that everyone has access to speeds of 19.2 kilobits - which is slower than what people have today - to immediately fix old telephone exchanges and to expand broadband availability to regional areas.
The prospects of an unpopular sale should be a great opportunity for the Labor Party to capitalise on people's fears that a privatised Telstra will slash services in the bush and outer suburbs.
In question time yesterday Opposition Leader Simon Crean raised the issue of Telstra increasing rental fees; his communications spokesman Lindsay Tanner asked about job-shedding by the telco.
But the reason the National Party finally gave grudging support in the party meeting on Tuesday is that Telstra has already dramatically lifted its performance in the bush - hoping to increase its chances of privatisation.
With the new $181 million deal, rural areas and outer suburbs will have the best chance in years of getting services systematically upgraded. More importantly, the legislation will ensure that licences are granted only if Telstra guarantees minimum standards of service. Community service obligations are promised for the legislation.
This could put Labor in the situation of opposing measures that strengthen Telstra's commitment to services to the country and outer suburbs.
But will fear of future phone problems overcome the Government's fistful of dollars and stronger community service obligations?

Moscow (CNSNews.com) - Terrorist attacks in Iraq are aimed at preventing President Bush's re-election next month, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday.
"International terrorism aims at causing maximum damage to President Bush and to forestall his second term re-election," the RIA news agency quoted Putin as saying.
"If they succeed, they would celebrate a victory against America and the anti-terror coalition, and this could lead to more acts of international terrorism," he cautioned.
Putin added the routine disclaimer of not wishing to interfere in another country's democratic process: "We respect any choice of the American people."
He also reiterated Moscow's difference of opinion with Bush over the Iraq war, which Russia opposed from the start.
Nonetheless, Putin's remarks indicated that Russia would regard Bush's re-election as a blow to Islamist terror and his defeat as a victory for terrorists.
Last June, Putin surprised many people when he announced that Russian intelligence had supplied the U.S. with information indicating that Saddam Hussein was planning to carry out terrorist attacks on American soil.
The remarks were seen as providing additional justification for the U.S.-led war and hence as boosting Bush's re-election campaign.
His latest comments come at a time when Russian media commentators have speculated that a John Kerry presidency could result in the U.S. applying more pressure on Moscow over Putin's recent moves to consolidate power.
Some analysts have gone so far as to suggest Kerry may lump Russia, along with Iran and North Korea, into a new "axis of evil" category.
Putin's remarks come against a backdrop, however, of new moves to assert Russian influence in Asia.
He made the comments on the sidelines of a regional summit in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, where Russia formally joined a body called the Central Asian Co-operation Organization (CACO), also comprising Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
The move further boosts Russia's already significant economic clout in the region.
Putin also achieved a foreign policy success over the weekend with the opening of a new Russian military base in Tajikistan -- the largest outside of Russia -- and by securing a 49-year lease on a space surveillance complex in the Tajik mountains.
In return, Moscow agreed to write off more than $200 million in Tajik debt and to invest $2 billion in the former Soviet state.
Putin said Russia's military presence in Tajikistan "will not only guarantee our investment, but will also guarantee stability in the region."
The moves are widely seen here as Moscow's response to the U.S. military presence in Central Asia.

PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) April 09, 2014
InventHelp, a leading inventor service company, announces that one of its clients, an inventor from New York, has developed a redesigned garbage can that would feature a more secure lid. This invention is patented.
The "Recycle With Space Available" could ensure that the lid won't blow off, and would prevent the contents of the can from spilling out of the top. The invention would keep the surrounding area clean and tidy, and could stop rodents, such as rats, from getting into the trash. Designed to comply with state trash laws, the Recycle With Space Available is under 40 gallons for ease of use.
The rectangular can and lid are made of heavy plastic, and the rope handles would be positioned on the sides for easy pick-up. At the bottom of the can would be four drainage holes, and top rim of the can features a beveled edge so that lid can be fitted firmly. A D-shaped handle on top of the lid contains several pounds of metal to prevent the lid from being blown off. The bottom edges of the lid would feature studs with male threading, and the studs fit into legs with female threading. The hollow legs could be filled with small stones or pebbles to weigh down the lid.
"I recycle, but the garbage can that I use for recycling doesn't have a lid, which New York state law requires," said the inventor. "The recycling is usually piled so high that a conventional lid would just fall off if I placed it on top. In order to comply with the law and to prevent my recycling from being scattered all over the countryside, I developed a can with a better lid."
InventHelp is attempting to submit the invention to companies for review. If substantial interest is expressed, the company will attempt to negotiate for a sale or royalties for the inventor. For more information, telephone Dept. 10-AVZ-635 at (800) 851-6030.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif.--CSU Bakersfield takes on Northern Arizona Monday night in the first road game of the women's basketball season in Flagstaff.
The Roadrunners defeated Northern Arizona 86-77 Feb. 19, 2012 in the first ever meeting between the two schools in women's basketball. The Lumberjacks lost their season opener to New Mexico 68-57 Nov. 9. Amy Patton scored 33 of the 57 NAU points on 12-of-25 shooting. She played all 40 minutes, adding five rebounds, four steals, and three assists.
Arizona used a 12-1 run to start the second half as the Wildcats defeated CSU Bakersfield 71-50 in the 2012-13 season opener for both schools Friday night. Arizona held the Roadrunners to 27.3% shooting for the game and nine CSUB field goals in each half. The Wildcats outrebounded CSU Bakersfield 62-41. Both teams were sloppy with the ball, combining for 51 turnovers (26 for CSUB, 25 for Arizona).
CSUB was led by Tyonna Outland (R-So., Compton, Calif., Lynwood HS) who made her return from ACL surgery on her left knee by scoring a team high 13 points and grabbing seven rebounds. Janae Coffee (R-So., Fresno, Calif., Long Beach State) scored 12 points, nabbed nine rebounds, and blocked two shots.

In this experiment an alum will be SYNTHESIZED and ANALYZED for its sulfate content.
Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the

accounts for the fact that it is one of the major industrial raw materials used in
Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust (7.5% by mass). The abundance of aluminum, along with its attractive combination of physical and chemical properties, accounts for the fact that it is one of the major industrial raw materials used in industry.
Although the mass of a single aluminum beverage can is small, the large number of containers produced each year means that a large tonnage of the metal is utilized. Since the metal is not consumed rapidly by corrosion, the amount of scrap aluminum grows rapidly while the available supply of the materials for the manufacture of aluminum decreases. Ecological problems thus created are typical of those of several different metals. One obvious solution to the problem is to recycle the used fabricated aluminum into other useful metallic objects. Chemical recovery methods can also be used to recycle aluminum.
This experiment illustrates one such chemical RECOVERY process. You will convert metallic aluminum into an industrially important compound, hydrated potassium aluminum sulfate, or common alum. "Alum" is a generic term that describes hydrated double salts of certain metals. Alums can be described by the generalized formula,
in which M represents a univalent ion such
as K+ and M' represents a trivalent ion such as Al3+. True alums crystallize in a well-defined
octahedron structure and many are beautifully colored, particular those containing d-block
elements. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and
Romans used alums as a mordant in dyeing cloth. A
mordant contains metal ions that bind dyes to the fabric.
Presently alums are used in everything from film processing to pickle
Beginning with an aluminum beverage can, an alum will be synthesized. Metallic aluminum dissolves in aqueous solutions of strong bases like KOH to form hydrogen gas and a soluble salt containing a complex ion.
Al + 2 KOH + 6 H2O ---> 2 KAl(OH)4 + 3 H2
The addition of sulfuric acid converts the soluble salt into an insoluble hydroxide and potassium sulfate, but a slight excess of acid will dissolve the hydroxide to give a clear solution.
2 KAl(OH)4 + H2SO4 --> 2 Al(OH)3 + K2SO4 + 2 H2O
As the solution is cooled, the double
salt, hydrated potassium aluminum sulfate "ALUM", crystallizes out of the
K+ + Al3+ + 2SO42- + 12H2O ---> KAl(SO4)2 12H2O
The alum is then filtered, dried, and
weighed. The actual yield of alum can be
compared to its theoretical yield.
In the next part of the experiment the sulfate content of the alum will be determined by forming and weighing dry barium sulfate.
Since the alum is soluble in water, the sulfate content can be determined by precipitation, drying, and weighing an insoluble metal sulfate. This technique is called gravimetric analysis. A good insoluble metal sulfate for this analysis is barium sulfate. A weighed sample of alum is dissolved in water, and then a soluble barium compound such as barium chloride is added to precipitate insoluble barium sulfate.
+ SO42- ---> BaSO4
This insoluble salt can be readily isolated by filtration and dried without decomposing by heating in a flame. While other ions such as the carbonate can interfere by forming additional insoluble barium salts, appropriate procedures can be used to remove these ions before the precipitation with barium occurs. Carbonate ions are removed by decomposing with acid.
Many beverage cans are not 100% aluminum, but are alloys of aluminum that dissolve slowly. Use a 1 or 2 inch square piece of aluminum beverage can. Sandpaper it to remove as much paint and lacquer as possible. The piece of aluminum should weigh about 1.2 grams, record. Transfer the aluminum to a clean 250 ml beaker. Add 35 ml of 2 M KOH to the beaker. CAUTION: KOH CAN DISSOLVE CLOTHING AND SKIN AS WELL AS ALUMINUM. Place the beaker on a hot plate and heat gently. The reaction is complete when bubbles of gas cease to form. Remove the beaker from the hot plate and allow the solution to cool to room temperature. Gravity filter the solution into a 250 ml beaker. Use a wash bottle to rinse all of the dissolved aluminum solution out of the beaker. Avoid using more than 20 ml of water to wash the beaker.
Now add 10 drops of methyl red indicator to the clear solution. Methyl red is yellow in basic solution and red in acidic solution. Obtain 25 ml of 6 M sulfuric acid in a beaker. Add the 6 M sulfuric acid a few milliliters at a time with stirring until the solution turns red. Avoid adding excess sulfuric acid. Heat the solution gently on a hot plate and stir vigorously until all the Al(OH)3 has dissolved. The hot solution should be red and contain no suspended solids. If it is not red, carefully add a few drops of 6 M sulfuric acid until it is red. Cool the clear, red solution in an ice bath for 20 minutes with occasional stirring. Well-defined crystals of alum should form. After complete crystallization collect the alum crystals by vacuum filtration. Allow the aspirator to draw air through the crystals for several minutes to help air dry the crystals. Next transfer the crystals to a clean dry paper towel and allow to dry at least 24 hours. After the crystals are dry, weigh and record.
At this point in the experiment you have
converted the aluminum in the beverage can into alum, a white crystalline compound. Next you will determine by gravimetric analysis
the sulfate content of an alum sample.
Weigh about 1 gram of alum (SUPPLIED BY INSTRUCTOR) into a clean 400 ml beaker and add 200 ml of distilled water. The alum should completely dissolve. After the alum has dissolved add about 5 ml of 6 M HCl solution. CAUTION: HCL IS CORROSIVE AND CAN CAUSE BURNS ON YOUR SKIN OR BURN HOLES IN YOUR CLOTHING. The purpose of adding the HCl is to decompose any carbonate ions that may be present.
Next prepare 100 ml of a 0.1 M BaCl2
solution. Write specific
instructions/calculations in your checklist on how to accomplish this task. Do not include these calculations in your Lab
Report. You will need a 100 ml volumetric
flask to prepare the solution.
Add 50 ml of your 0.1 M BaCl2
solution with constant stirring to the 400 ml beaker containing the dissolved alum. After addition of the barium chloride, carefully
heat the beaker on a hot plate until the contents boil.
Boil the mixture gently for 10 minutes, and allow to cool with occasional
stirring. After the mixture has cooled to
room temperature and the precipitate has settled, carefully decant the clear solution into
a waste container and discard. Now gravity
filter the precipitate and any remaining solution using ashless filter paper. Use a wash bottle to assist in the transfer of all
of the precipitate from the beaker onto the ashless filter paper.
Heat a clean crucible and its cover as hot as possible for about 5 minutes. Let the crucible and its cover cool to room temperature and then weigh, record. Next transfer the wet ashless filter paper containing the barium sulfate precipitate to the crucible, and fold the paper so that it is contained entirely within the crucible. Place the crucible on a clay triangle with the cover slightly ajar so that some air can enter. Heat gently at first to char the filter paper. Do not allow the filter paper to flame. After the filter paper is charred, heat the crucible to a red heat. The filter paper will burn off completely and only a white precipitate of barium sulfate will remain in the crucible. Allow the crucible and its cover to cool to room temperature, weigh and record. Reheat the crucible with the full flame for a second time, allow to cool and reweigh (HEATING TO A CONSTANT WEIGHT).

|Patricia Fisher LaFalce
John Joseph LaFalce (born October 6, 1939) is a former congressman from the state of New York; he served from 1975 to 2003.
LaFalce was first elected to the 94th United States Congress in 1974 and re-elected to each succeeding Congress through the 107th, serving his Western New York congressional district for 28 years, from 1975 to 2003. He served as Chairman of the House Small Business Committee from 1987 to 1995, and as Ranking Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee from 1999 to 2003. He declined to seek re-election to the 108th Congress.
Personal background[edit]
LaFalce was born in Buffalo, New York, on October 6, 1939. He graduated from Public School 49 (1953), Canisius High School (1957), Canisius College (1961), and Villanova University School of Law in 1964. From 1965 to 1967, Rep. LaFalce served in the United States Army during the Vietnam era, leaving active duty with the rank of Captain. He returned from military service to practice law in Western New York with the law firm of Jaeckle, Fleischman and Mugel, and soon became active in public service.[1]
He was a member of the New York State Senate (53rd D.) in 1971 and 1972; and a member of the New York State Assembly (140th D.) in 1973 and 1974.
He is married to the former Patricia Fisher and they have one son, Martin, who is a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center and currently works as a public interest lawyer in New York City.
U.S. Representative[edit]
In 1974, at the age of 35, LaFalce became only the second Democrat, and the first since 1912, to win election to what was then the 36th congressional district of New York, which included most of northern Buffalo as well as Niagara Falls. LaFalce was elected as part of the large Democratic freshman class elected in the wake of Watergate. He was reelected 13 times, rarely facing substantive opposition.
During his career in the House of Representatives, he served on both the Committee on Small Business and the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs (now the Committee on Financial Services). In January 1987, he was elected by the Democratic Caucus as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, thus becoming the first member of his class to chair a full, standing committee of the House. Following the change in control of Congress in 1994, he served as the committee's ranking Democrat. In February 1998, he was elected the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee and served in that capacity through 2003.
LaFalce had numerous accomplishments as a legislator. For example, he is credited with initiating the Competitiveness Policy Council.
LaFalce was generally a liberal Democrat, but strongly opposed abortion. He currently serves on the National Advisory Board of Democrats for Life of America.[2]
After the 2000 census, New York lost two congressional districts. One plan called for the merger of LaFalce's territory with the neighboring 27th district of Republican Jack Quinn, a longtime friend who represented the other portion of Buffalo. The final map merged his district with the Rochester-based 28th District of fellow Democrat Louise Slaughter. The new district retained Slaughter's district number, but geographically was more LaFalce's district; indeed, only a narrow band of territory from Buffalo to Rochester connected the two areas. Nonetheless, LaFalce didn't seek reelection in 2002.

DURSLEY lost their first ever league match against Stroud by the narrowest of margins.
A late converted try by the visitors was all that separated the sides in a hard-fought local derby. Although the wet and windy conditions did not suit Dursley's open running game, they made a positive start.
Flanker Jack Rowe made a good pick up of a loose ball but Dursley failed to capitalise on the break. Good kicking to touch by full back Ed Sheldon kept Stroud pinned inside their own 22. When the run of play swung in favour of Stroud the Dursley defence held strong. More well placed kicks by Sheldon and captain Tom Broomfield kept the pressure on, but a hard fought first half ended at 0-0.
Stroud managed to build some good possession in the Dursley half but the defence were up to the task again and the big boot of Matt Billett relieved the pressure. From this field position Dursley managed to turn the ball over and also win a penalty, which Billett just pushed wide of the mark. With the wind in their faces strong runs by Sean Hughes and Simon Camm were vital on the territory front. The game seemed destined for a 0-0 draw but the Stroud pressure finally earned them a penalty. It was pushed just wide but was not gathered cleanly by Broomfield and from the resulting scrum the away team managed put together a couple of phases and Grant Nash scored a try under the posts, with Craig Jones adding the conversion on 72 minutes.
Dursley rallied and managed to camp inside the Stroud 22.
With numerous penalties against the away team on their own five metre line, Dursley eyes turned to the referee in hope of a penalty try, but there was no answer and when a dubious penalty was awarded to Stroud the game was over.
Dursley have no game until January 5, when they visit Whitehall.

How do you tell male from female?
How do you tell male from female?
They must have had their first moult (6-8months). Cick on "breeding babies and mutation) then click on the FAQ's, and there is a huge one on how to tell almost every mutation's sex. Some, ike pieds, cannot be sexed visially, they need a DNA test. What type do you have?
here links:
find the mutation (colour varity), go here and look at the pictures/descriptions.
and alsohere
and also here
once you know it's colour, go here to find how to sex.
and also go here
and note if it's young, it'll look like a female, even if it's male! and pied and lutino cockatiels cannot be sexed visualy.
My bird is a grey. I think that is what they are called. Thanx for everyones help.
Edythe and casey
ok i was looking at the pictures. and i was wondering if the tail of the cockatiel changes. because the female on the pictures had a grey tail with like little yellow specks. thanx,
casey and edythe
yep, we call that 'barring' as it forms sorta stripes. all young tiels and most females have that, it's often used in sexing but it's not 100% true... some males do keep it, but most get a plain tail, some females get a plain tail, but most keep it! but all young tiels have it.
I was wondering, how do I tell how old my tiel is? After their Mutation will their cheeks turn really orange? I think I will try to put a picture on here that way someone can look at him or her and tell me.
Casey & Edythe
another old post, but replying anyway:
you cannot know how old a tiel is unless it's young. if it's an adult, that's already got it's adult colouration, then there is no way to know how old it is. young MALES will get the really bright orange cheeks after the FIRST moult, after then they'll be the same. females won't get the really bright faces. all young tiels look like adult females.

1. Arthur Sinodinos, who was John Howard's closest adviser for more than a decade, was so crucial to the fortunes of the Howard government that when he left to join the private sector in 2006, "the wheels seemed to fall off the machine," a former Howard government MP recalls.
The former colleague says a number of Coalition MPs believed at the time that Sinodinos' departure hastened Howard's demise, and that if Sinodinos had stuck around the Coalition might even have clung to power. The current Assistant Treasurer is widely respected in the Liberal Party, even by those who were, at the time, opponents of Howard.
2. Sinodinos grew up in a left-wing, Greek migrant family. His father was a member of the Seamen's Union and both his parents opposed the US intervention in Vietnam. But Sinodinos' leftist upbringing had the effect of driving him "the other way", as he put it in an interview with journalist Julia Baird on ABC's Sunday Profile program in 2011.
Despite his economic conservatism, Sinodinos, who worked as an economist in the departments of Treasury and Finance before becoming Howard's chief of staff, was seen by colleagues as a moderating influence on the former prime minister. Coalition sources describe Sinodinos as being several notches to the left of Howard on social issues, particularly immigration and multiculturalism.
In his maiden speech to Parliament in November 2011, Sinodinos said he supported "a bigger and more sustainable Australia as a framework for growth". He has also admitted to the ABC that he was uncomfortable about the Howard government's policy of holding children in detention centres. "It took perhaps longer than it should have to get that resolved," he said.
3. Sinodinos enjoyed an expensive lifestyle in Sydney's eastern suburbs. In 2006 Sinodinos left his senior post in the Howard government, moving from Canberra for Sydney to work with Goldman Sachs JBWere, the National Australia Bank and, among his roles at various companies, was installed on the board of the Obeid-linked Australian Water Holdings - the subject of the current corruption hearings.
Fairfax Media journalist Damien Murphy reported in March 2013: 'Senator Arthur Sinodinos recently vacated palatial digs in Dumaresq Road, Rose Bay, where he was renting for more than $2000 a week and is currently between homes. The luxury cars of the senator and wife Elizabeth have been ferrying their three children around the eastern suburbs from Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel, part-owned by Craig and Arthur Laundy. Craig Laundy, who incidentally is the Liberal candidate for Reid, was somewhat astonished to learn that the Sinodinos family were his guests. When we asked the Laundys' partner, Fraser Short, if the senator was a full-fee paying guest, he sniffed that there "were no comps" at his pub.
The senator's office assured us they were just paying to stay in the area while they looked for suitable accommodation nearby.' Some of Senator Sinodinos' former company directorships were linked to that Rose Bay address.
4. "Artie" could always make John Howard laugh, which was a notable skill, says Howard's former chief of staff, Grahame Morris, who has known Sinodinos for about 30 years. "There are two sides to Arthur," Morris says. "One is the very very good economic adviser. The other is this guy with a quirky sense of humour. He's one of those people who could always rib John Howard, even in times of real doom and gloom."
5. Sinodinos was born in Newcastle to Greek migrants and only learned English properly when he began school at the age of five, he told the ABC. Sinodinos said he used to feel "self conscious" when he turned up to fancy dress days at school in Greek national costume ("the skirt and pom poms").
Sinodinos met his wife at Greek Orthodox Church. The couple had a "seriously big Greek wedding" with senior representatives of the church and John Howard in attendance, recalls Morris, who now works for the Liberal Party-aligned government relations firm Barton Deakin.
Senator Sinodinos' office was approached for this story but referred Fairfax Media to a biography on the Assistant Treasurer's personal website.
