Servo Motors and Industrial Control Theory presents the fundamentals of servo motors and control theory in a manner that is accessible to undergraduate students, as well as practitioners who may need updated information on the subject. Graphical methods for classical control theory have been replaced with examples using common mathematical software, such as MathCad and MatLab, to solve real-life engineering control problems. State variable feedback control theory, which is generally not introduced until the Masters level, is introduced clearly and simply for students to approach complicated problems and examples. Several parameters are introduced for each servo control system discussed, making this book a must-have reference guide for control system designers.

Jamie Dimon is America's most famous banker, and Neel Kashkari is its most outspoken bank regulator, so it's not a shock that they would eventually come to blows. What's interesting is that their contretemps is over an acronym that most Americans have never heard of, but one that may be central to preventing another recession.
TLAC, which is pronounced TEE-lack, is something you need to know about if you want to judge the sparring between Dimon, the well-coiffed chief executive of JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Kashkari. TLAC stands for total loss-absorbing capacity. The more capacity that a bank has to absorb losses, the smaller the risk that it will require a taxpayer-funded government bailout. So lots of TLAC is good.
But not all TLAC is created equal. Kashkari argues that a lot of what Dimon calls TLAC on paper wouldn't be available to absorb losses in a real-world crisis.
Imagine that a whale swims up the Thames River and beaches itself in the City of London financial district, causing billions of dollars in losses to Bank X. If the loss is really big or Bank X is weak (unlike JPMorganChase, which most emphatically is not weak), then one such hit could push it into insolvency.
The first thing that happens is that the price of the stock falls to zero. Shareholders, in other words, are the first to absorb losses. That's fair: Shareholders get all the profit that a bank makes after paying its expenses, so they should have to take the hit when the bank's profit is wiped out unexpectedly. The fight between Dimon and Kashkari is over who absorbs the rest of the loss.
According to Dimon, it's the unsecured bondholders. (Unsecured meaning they don't have a legal claim to any specific asset on the bank's balance sheet.) Unsecured bondholders are informed that, sorry, there's been a loss. They're not going to get their interest payments anymore, and their bonds are being converted into common shares. Now they're at the back of the line with the rest of the bank's shareholders; they'll get paid only if the bank starts making a profit again.
The beauty of the system outlined by Dimon is that taxpayers aren't exposed to risk because if a bank gets in trouble it has a great, big escape hatch: It simply wipes out its bondholders, thus conserving its money.
"It sounds like an ideal solution," Kashkari writes. "The problem is that it almost never actually works in real life." In a financial crisis, regulators worry about contagion. If bondholders of one bank are defaulted on, those of other banks will worry they're next and yank their support, causing a downward spiral of confidence that crashes the economy. So the regulators make sure bondholders keep getting paid.
"Indeed," Kashkari writes, "the most recent crisis showed that even some debt holders who had been explicitly told that they would take losses during a crisis got bailed out." Kashkari argues that regulators and bankers should stop acting as if bonds are part of TLAC (which, remember, stand for total loss-absorbing capacity), because when push comes to shove, bondholders will absorb few if any losses. Taxpayers will be forced to step up and make sure they keep getting paid.
Kashkari also disses Dimon's argument that banks' safety cushions are needlessly thick. Dimon wrote to shareholders that if the Federal Reserve standards weren't so tough, "banks probably would have been more aggressive in making some small business loans, lower-rated middle market loans, and near-prime mortgages."
Kashkari's response? "Mr. Dimon argues that the current capital standards are restraining lending and impairing economic growth, yet he also points out that JPMorgan bought back $26 billion in stock over the past five years. If JPMorgan really had demand for additional loans from creditworthy borrowers, why did it turn those customers away and instead choose to buy back its stock?"

Background. A characteristic feature of anaplastic large cell lymphoma is the significant repression of the T-cell expression program despite its T-cell origin. The reasons for this down-regulation of T-cell phenotype are still unknown. Design and Methods. To elucidate whether epigenetic mechanisms are responsible for the loss of the T-cell phenotype, we treated anaplastic large cell lymphoma and T-cell lymphoma/leukemia cell lines (n=4, each) with epigenetic modifiers to evoke DNA demethylation and histone acetylation. Global gene expression data from treated and untreated cell lines were generated and selected differentially expressed genes were evaluated by real-time RT-PCR and Western Blot analysis. Additionally, histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation was analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation. Results. Combined DNA demethylation and histone acetylation of anaplastic large cell lymphoma cells was not able to reconstitute their T-cell phenotype. Instead, the same treatment induced in T-cells (i) an up-regulation of anaplastic large cell lymphoma-characteristic genes (e.g. ID2, LGALS1, c-JUN) and (ii) an almost complete extinction of their T-cell phenotype including CD3, LCK and ZAP70. In addition, a suppressive trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 of important T-cell transcription factor genes (GATA3, LEF1, TCF1) was present in anaplastic large cell lymphoma cells, which is in line with their absence in primary tumour specimens as demonstrated by immunohistochemistry. Conclusions. Our data suggest that epigenetically activated suppressors (e.g. ID2) contribute to the down-regulation of the T-cell expression program in anaplastic large cell lymphoma, which is maintained by trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27.

Ghostwriter's primary goal is bringing all of your operational data together in one place and create relationships. A starting point is needed to accomplish this goal. For Ghostwriter that starting point is a client.
The basic workflow looks like this:
Create a new client, or open an existing client
Review points of contact for the client and add/edit as needed
Create a project under the client
Checkout servers and domain names for the new project
Create the links between domain names, subdomains, and servers
At this stage your project proceeds until it's time to begin noting observations:
Create one or more reports for the new project
Browse the database of findings/observations and add some to the report
Attach evidence files to the new finding
Return to step 2
That's all there is to the basic procedures and their required order of precedence.
At the end of a project a project manager or assessment lead should mark a project as complete. This is done by clicking the In Progress toggle below the project's name on the project's detail page.
Marking a project as complete begins a 90-day countdown to archiving. If the archive task has been configured (see Background Tasks), Ghostwriter will perform a daily check to see if any complete projects are 90 days old (or older) and archive them.
The default is 90 days, but this can be adjusted in the
tasks.py file.
Archiving involves the following actions:
Mark all reports under the project to Complete (if they were not marked as such already)
Mark all reports under the project as Archived
Generate all report types
Bundle all reports and evidence files into a zip file
Add a record to the
Archive model for the client and project with the report archive file
Mark the project as archived
Delete all report data
The archive file are available for download under
/reporting/reports/archive. You can leave them or perform any actions required by your company's data retention policies (e.g. download the archive and then delete it from Ghostwriter).
Once archived, the project and reports can no longer be edited, so they now exist only as a historical record.

SAM TAYLOR JOHNSON made her name on the riotous YBA scene in the Nineties, but 20 years on from the hedonism that defined the Brit scene of which she was a poster girl, she is more frequently associated with her acclaimed directorial role on Fifty Shades of Grey. But, while the film was a box-office hit, for Johnson the fallout was a mixed bag.
© Mary McCartney
"As an artist, I think success doesn't matter if you don't feel connected to the work you've made," she reveals in the July issue of Vogue. "It gave me a very dark head-space that I needed time to recover from. It took me a good year to really get back on my feet, and another year to feel confident to get back to work. It really knocked me sideways. I was in the grocery store car park one time and this guy came up to me and said, 'Congratulations on Fifty Shades,' and I said, 'I did what I could. It was really difficult.' Aaron was like, 'Just say thanks!'"

Happily married to Aaron Taylor Johnson for eight years and living in LA with their four children (two of whom are from her marriage to Jay Jopling), Johnson doesn't miss being on every guest list in town.

"I don't miss my old social life here at all," she says when editor-at-large Fiona Golfar caught up with her on a visit to London. "Aaron hates going out, hates parties and loves LA for the lack of all the social stuff. Before coming on this trip I've had butterflies of anxiety about whether I would have the stamina to go out for even a few nights, whereas before it was such a big part of my life."

Even the tabloid scrutiny of her marriage to Johnson (which was plagued with comment concerning their 24-year age gap at first) doesn't bother her any more.
"It's funny, the age thing never mattered to us. I think at first the furore was there, and now people can see we're just getting on with life. We've been together eight years and people don't bat an eye."

Score one for the good guys. Apple, which blatantly attacks all those who would even dare to compete with their obvious superiority in all things designed and innovated…. Cough Cough. Sorry, I couldn't keep a straight face any longer. Patent Uber-troll Apple has lost a major court battle which could play a huge role in upcoming patent cases they have raised around the world.
If you have paid any attention to the Apple vs. Samsung, Apple vs. HTC, Apple vs. The Apple, etc., you'll know that Apple has elected to take to the courts to try and take back market share from Android-devices rather than actually doing so with the consumer in the marketplace. A recent attack aimed at the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, where they claim that it infringes on patents they hold for slide-to-unlock and autocorrect, was upheld by a Florida judge this past week.
But here's where the good news comes in. A UK judge ruled today that HTC was not infringing on three of Apple's patents (slide-to-unlock, multi-touch gesture, and a tool to change alphabets), and in fact labeled them as invalid patents. The judge did find that one of the patents (picture-viewing) was valid, but ruled that HTC did not infringe on it. HTC spokeswoman Andrea Sommer stated that they were disappointed that Apple would choose to "favor competition in the courtroom over competition in the marketplace."
With current court cases pending around the world involving some of these same patents, this ruling could spell the end of the line for Apple's Patent Lawyer division, but only time will tell.

Seems like too many judges in the US are either clueless or doing whatever the "higher-ups" are dictating. All these supposed patents apple has for the iphone thus far have turned out to be utter crap and most all have been invalidated around the world, but US judges think they are OK?!?!?!? 9 out of 10 invalidated in Germany, 3 out of 4 in the UK, now, and if you look at how many patents are thrown out in pre-trial hearings apple is down to about 1% even being looked at by the courts with ~15% of those being valid and even less Android infringing upon. Hell, looks like they've got to dig way way back into the 90's and early 2000's to find some patents that judges will even consider.

In the wee small hours of the morning is the time I miss you most of all
At 4:30 AM in the middle of my 76th year, it seems as if the world is imploding around me. Memory is slowly fading - yesterday was a low point. Forgetting stalked me at every step I took and later I woke about an hour ago - in that time when we are completely disconnected. Alone with our thoughts and memories, searching for something or someone to relate to. Perhaps this is some sort of post-traumatic reaction. I have survived the events of last December when my wife suffered brain injuries and lingered on the edge of life for a few days. She has survived and is now sufficiently recovered to return to work, drive a car and resume most normal activities.

Ancient Frogs Might Have Eaten Dinosaurs
In the past, ancient frogs might have snacked on dinosaurs.
Popular Science reports that there was once a "giant frog" that walked the earth called Beelzebufo ampinga. Named after an ancient deity referred to as "Lord of the Flies," the massive amphibian is thought to have lived in Madagascar around 70 million years ago.
The "beach ball-sized" frog has jaws that are "powerful enough to obliterate small dinosaurs." Scientists first discovered the frog in 2008 and speculated that it might have used its powerful mouth to dine on small vertebrates. Now, they've found proof: By calculating the jaw force of one of the frog's modern relatives, they were able to determine that Beelzebufo ampinga's bite would have been comparable to the bite of a lion.
While we might all equate frogs with being fly eaters, many species of frog will actually eat anything that can fit in their mouth, including rodents, and perhaps in this ancient case, dinosaurs.
That means they'd definitely be strong enough to chow down on some smaller dinosaurs.

About the Book
Kael's worse fears have come true. Betrayal has shaken the Guardian Circle, the High Guardian is dead, and Ayianna and Prince Vian are in the hands of the Sorceress, but he and his companions must finish their quest, before they can attempt a rescue mission. Unfortunately, Desmond's parting gift left them stranded on the western cliffs of Nälu.
Jathil, once heir to the throne of Arashel, believes her father will aid them, but first she must face the crimes of her past. When she does, she cannot believe the outcome, nor the rippling effect it will have on the nations.
Meanwhile the Alliance braces for war, but division threatens to undermine their efforts. When Nerissa returns from Ganya with the dragon regiment, she discovers a bigger problem. The curse bound are waking.
As the quest nears completion, Kael is forced to choose between his heart and duty, and neither choice bodes well with him. Either way, he will face the Sorceress and her armies sooner or later. The battle for Nälu has begun and there can be only one victor.
About the Author
Writing as J. L. Mbewe, Jennette is an author, artist, mother, wife, but not always in that order. Born and raised in Minnesota, she now braves the heat of Texas, but pines for the Northern Lights and the lakes of home every autumn. She loves trying to capture the abstract and make it concrete. She is currently living her second childhood with her wonderful husband and two precious children who don't seem to mind her eclectic collections of rocks, shells, and swords, among other things. Here, between reality and dreams, you will find her busily creating worlds inhabited by all sorts of fantasy creatures and characters, all questing about and discovering true love amid lots of peril.
Her debut novel, Secrets Kept, was nominated for the 2014 Clive Staples Award. Her second novel, Darkened Hope was a semi-finalist for the 2017 Alliance Award.

Top 10 Zinc Rich Foods You Must Include in Your Diet
Zinc is an essential element which is required in very minute quantities for growth, development, and physiology of human beings. It plays an important role in many enzymatic reactions carried out within the body. Zinc is found in cells throughout our body and our body does not store it. Zinc rich foods are essential for various body functions.
We seldom listen about zinc deficiency from anyone, probably because people are not aware of it. This post is dedicated to zinc-rich foods which we ignore most of the times.
Why do we need Zinc?
Before reading about zinc-rich foods, we should know why zinc is essential for our body (4) (5) (6). Let's check out its functions.
- Zinc helps in healthy cell division.
- It has antioxidant properties which prevent the free radical effect and cancer risk.
- Zinc stimulates the production of blood in the body and helps in wound healing.
- It also helps in protein digestion.
- Zinc is very important during pregnancy, infancy, childhood, and lactating women for growth and development.
Dietary Recommendations of Zinc
To carry out all the functions our body requires a specific amount of particular nutrients. Dietary recommendations (9) of zinc are
- Adult men and women require 11 mg and 8mg of zinc per day respectively(7).
- Pregnant and Lactating mother requires 11 and 13.2 mg of zinc per day(8).
Zinc Deficiency Symptoms:
Deficiency of Zinc causes adverse effects to our health as it is very important in several enzymatic reactions and is present throughout the body. (2) (10)
It can cause
- poor immunity(3),
- hair loss,
- sleep disturbances,
- damaged skin,
- difficulty in concentration and
- cardiovascular diseases (11)
- infertility.
Zinc Rich Foods:
Below are some zinc rich foods
1. Seafood
Seafood is a great source of zinc especially Shellfish. Kinds of seafood rich in zinc are crabs, lobsters, oysters, shrimp, mussels, etc which are very low in calories and high in nutrition. Seafood provides essential proteins, vitamins, and minerals (13).
100 grams of basic oysters(Mollusks) contain 16.62 mg of zinc which is pretty high. Crabs are also a great source of zinc. 100 grams of Crabs contain 7.6 mg of zinc
2. Meat
Meat is protein-rich, healthy and low in calories. Beef, pork, and chicken are a great source of zinc (12).
100 grams of chicken breast contains 1 mg of zinc and 100 grams of beef contains 4.8 mg of zinc.
However, eating red meat increases the risk of cancer and heart diseases. But it is also rich in many vitamins and minerals like vitamin B, iron, etc.

Despite the rise of the internet, tradeshows can still be a good marketing activity, especially for businesses wanting to reach a specific target market. Of course you need to plan for it properly and integrate it within the rest of your marketing calendar.
Last week I was at the AIMEX tradeshow. This is not only the biggest mining exhibition in Australasia, but also the biggest tradeshow in Australia and attracts more than 17,000 visitors and more than 600 exhibitors. One of those exhibitors is my beautiful client Tecpro Australia.
Naturally for a small business like Tecpro, the cost for exhibiting at this tradeshow is a big chunk of the annual marketing budget, but we knew it was worth it. We made the decision based on the results we got from exhibiting at the AIMEX tradeshow for the first time 2 years ago. Naturally, we ensured that we milked it and got the most out of it.
How did we do this?
It all started with planning well in advance. We started our AIMEX brainstorm sessions in January. We analysed what worked well the last time and even more importantly what we could improve. We then put a plan together of what campaigns we would run before AIMEX, what we would do during AIMEX and how we would do the follow up. We involved the whole team in this process, which not only generated great ideas, but also ensured that there was buy-in from everyone.
In the months leading up to AIMEX, we focused all our marketing activities from PR to advertising, to email marketing to website etc. on what we want to be known for in the mining industry, which is dust suppression – nozzles, systems and consulting.
During AIMEX, we worked like a team. Every day we had someone handing out brochures and getting people's attention, qualifying whether they were interested in dust suppression or not (we tried to have a female on the stand each day, as the success rate of getting visitors to stop was higher). When the questions became more technical, the sales team took over.
Naturally we ensured that the stand was looking good all the time (we had a great combination of showing products, branding and the team) and that there was a welcoming atmosphere. This might sound very simple, but I can't tell you how many times I see people not doing this. When I walked around the show, I saw exhibitors looking bored, only talking amongst themselves and the worst case I saw was an exhibitor working away on his laptop with his back to the aisle. I simply can't understand why you would behave like this. It's definitely not a great first impression and a wasted opportunity to show your target market what your company stands for. Gone are your chances to connect with new potential clients in a positive way.
We also set up a professionally looking thank you email (in the same look and feel as the stand) that the team in the office sent out at the end of every show day. Positive reactions from this already came in during the show. It sounds very simple, but too many times this is where companies fall down. They are exhausted, because the tradeshow is finally over and then don't have a proper system in place to follow up those valuable leads.
In the end it is not rocket science, but it is all about taking the time to think about what you are going to do at a tradeshow well before it starts, put together a sensible plan that is integrated with the rest of your marketing activities and get the team involved from the start.
At the moment the Tecpro team is very busy following up all the leads and I am sure that this will result in a great return on investment. Visit www.tecpro.com.au or www.dustsuppressionsystems.com.au

Premier: 'WaterWalk,' Featuring 'Terrific' Work of Webster Film Students
This weekend brings the St. Louis premier of WaterWalk, a Mississippi River film marked by a familiar regional focus.
It's also marked by the outstanding work of Webster University film production students.
Based on the true story of Steve and Justin Faulkner's attempt to become the first single canoe team to retrace the Marquette/Joliet discovery route of the Mississippi, WaterWalk was shot on location in St. Louis, Hannibal, Mo. (by Webster students), and 30 other locations along the 1,000 mile route.
Webster students who worked on the film include Ellen MacPherson, Ryan Lewis, Nathaniel Calvert and Greg Schmittel.
Roger Rapoport, producer of WaterWalk, credited students from Webster University with:
"an amazing job. They comprised our second unit in Missouri, doing excellent work in St. Louis and Hannibal as well as the Alton area.
"We are especially grateful for their the closing shots in St. Louis at the end of the film. Anything shot on the water is difficult and they did a great job handling the Mississippi which was at flood stage during our Hannibal shoot. Panoramic wide shots of the river were terrific. Clearly the Webster program is attracting and nurturing major student talent."
The film's St. Louis premiere is Sunday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m., at Ronnie's 20 Cine. It also screens at 4:10 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Nov. 12 and 13. Ronnie's is located at 5320 S. Lindbergh Blvd, St. Louis.
WaterWalk author Steve Faulkner will lead a talkback following the 7 p.m. Nov. 11 screening. In addition to good critical notices, the film has enjoyed a number of sellouts at cinemas, colleges and festivals in more than 70 Midwestern cities.

$4,000 for any form of research, scholarship, or creative work
Conduct an independent research or creative project full-time over the summer, under the guidance of a faculty or graduate student mentor. Brackenridge Fellowships support projects in any field or major — analytic, or purely creative.
Applications for Summer 2020 Fellowships are no longer being accepted.
As a fellow, you'll receive a stipend of $4,000 for the summer (mid-May through early August) so you can devote yourself full-time to your project and the associated responsibilities without having to support yourself with a summer job. You can't take a summer course or have a summer job.
The Brackenridge Fellowships are designed to help you develop your research, while also gaining a better understanding of research across disciplines. In addition to working on your individual research project, you'll attend weekly seminars with students from different disciplines to discuss and present your research. The seminars will focus on strategies to communicate about research to a broad general audience. You will also attend lectures, workshops, and panels with faculty mentors and researchers from all across the University.
During the academic year following the summer program, you'll also be required to present at the Honors College research fair.
The Brackenridge Fellowship was the first interdisciplinary research program of its kind in the nation, and has an esteemed reputation. It is named for Hugh Brackenridge (1748-1816), the founder of the University of Pittsburgh.
Who Can Apply?
Full-time undergraduate students on the Oakland campus who have identified a faculty member or appropriately qualified graduate student who has agreed to work with them during the Fellowship. The fellowship is open to students from any field and any class, including rising sophomores as well as rising seniors. Students who intend to graduate in April are not eligible.
Selection Criteria
Fellows are selected based on the following criteria:
- Their academic record
- The quality and coherence of their proposal (Is it understandable to someone outside their discipline?)
- The originality and promise of their proposed projects
- Their interdisciplinary interests and potential to contribute to the interdisciplinary community of students in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and applied disciplines
While all types of proposals are strongly encouraged, special consideration will be given to projects that are interdisciplinary in nature (crossing the boundaries of humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences).
It is important to remember that unlike many other research proposals, this one must be written in a manner that is understandable to a broad, non-expert audience, using minimal jargon.
About Applying for Other Pitt Honors Summer Awards
Students wishing to be considered for both the Brackenridge Fellowship and the Health Science Fellowship must submit separate applications for each. The programs are distinctly different and applications should be tailored to the appropriate opportunity. While the Brackenridge is made up of a cohort of fellows divided evenly among the humanities, social sciences, and STEM fields, with a focus on communicating your work to a broad audience, the Health Sciences Fellowship focuses only on Health Sciences research and sharing your work within that community.
How to Apply
In consultation with the sponsoring faculty member the student must submit an application according to the instructions via the "Application Instructions" link below. All application materials must be received by the date specified above. The UHC will evaluate the proposals, and all applicants will be notified of the decisions within roughly 30 days of the application deadline.
The Awards
Application materials required (detailed explanations of each item can be found in the application instructions and in the online application itself):
- A Project Proposal
- A brief Statement of Interest in the Community
- An up-to-date Academic Transcript
- A Letter of Recommendation from your Faculty or Graduate Student Mentor
It is the applicant's responsibility to provide all materials mentioned above and to ensure that the faculty mentor's letter of recommendation is submitted. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
If you have additional questions, please contact Brett Say (firstname.lastname@example.com).

She's got a Golden Globe nomination, a hit show and a successful move career. But there's still one thing that Katherine Heigl can't rest easy about: Her upcoming wedding!
"I'm mostly panicking about all the details, and getting there, traveling, transportation, talking to the pastor, getting the license," Katherine confessed to "Extra."
The beautiful "Grey's Anatomy" star is getting ready to wed musician Josh Kelley in Utah next week, but she admitted she and Josh are both suffering from pre-wedding jitters.
"We've talked a lot about it, like, 'Are you having any second thoughts here?'" she said. "And he's like, 'No, I'm so ready for this to happen.' It's already been 18 months of planning and we're both just ready for this to happen already."
And once the wedding's over, she said she and Josh plan to have kids!
"I'm super excited to start a family," she gushed. "I've always wanted a family, a large family. But I saw that now!"
How soon?
"I'd like to say like a year," she said.
Ironically, the 29-year-old actress plays a young woman who's always the bridesmaid and never the bride in the upcoming "27 Dresses."
"Yeah, that was really coincidental!" she said about filming the movie as she planned her own wedding.
And by the time the movie hits theaters on Jan. 11, Katherine will already be a married woman herself.

The Basics Of Large-Scale Composting On Dairy Farms
Monday, January 28th, 2019
Composting can be done in many areas, including on dairy farms. The composting process changes organic waste into a product that can be used as fertilizer. On dairy farms, the materials used are most often cow manure and spoiled feed, hay, and animal bedding. The process is enhanced by microorganisms that thrive in heat, creating a product that benefits soil quality.
What does it take to make compost on a dairy farm?
Making compost in any size operation requires many tools and supplies. First, the right environment is needed to support microbial growth. The microorganisms that break down waste live off of carbon and nitrogen, but the two elements must be balanced. Having too much carbon can hinder the compost and large particle size slows it down. The balance will depend on the type of materials used.
Materials with high nitrogen content include cow manure and grass clippings, while leaves, corn stalks, and straw have a higher carbon content. Adding in bedding like wood chips or sawdust will also affect the ratio of the elements. And ideal carbon nitrogen (C: N) ratio is around 25-30.
The following are some materials you should not compost for various reasons.
- Inorganic materials: These should not be included in a compost pile. Plastic waste, motor oil, and other toxic materials can cause harm and will not degrade, so they will hurt your compost and the soil.
- Animal matter and animals: Sometimes these items can be composted, even large caracsses in some cases. However, you should be aware of any local and state regulations as well as what these items can do to disrupt wildlife.
- Tainted plant material: If you use grass clippings from chemically treated lawns, in can transfer chemicals to crops. Plants that have been affected by blight, like potatoes or tomatoes, can continue to spread the disease even after composting.
Besides materials, you should also be equipped with some tools. These include a thermometer long enough to reach into the middle of a pile and something to turn the compost for aeration.
How you can make compost on your dairy farm
Before making compost, you must consider the size of your operation. Small-scale composting can be done in a bucket or bin, while large-scale operations will be better off with long rows known as windrows. The goal is to create an environment where temperatures are ideal, so the piles must be large enough to heat and be turned.
The frequency at which you turn the compost will depend on what materials you are using, the weather, the microorganisms, and water. You must use water to support the process, but too much will ruin the compost. If you need to, water the pile, but be sure to keep it covered if your dairy farm is an a rainy area.
Using compost turners
For large-scale operations, a compost turner will be a great choice for turning windrows. Rotating drum machines turn the compost in large containers, adding air and regulating the temperature of the mixture. They come in many sizes so you will be able to find a good fit for your needs. You can find pulled options that are attached to a tractor or self-propelled machines that you can drive.
Choosing the best compost turner for your needs requires that you know the size of your windrows and how much compost you need to produce. Keep an eye on market prices for new, used, and refurbished equipment as well. You should keep the following factors in mind too.
- Horsepower
- Turn speed and rate
- Height adjustments
- Maintenance practicality
- Flail size and durability

Best vehicle
By Rios on Wednesday, August 31, 2016Purchased a 2013 Limited, best vehicle ever. Comes loaded with Park Assist for those that can't parallel park. Great in tight situations. The adaptive cruise is phenomenal, slows down when it gets close to traffic (distance adjustable). Now the warning sensors will keep you on your toes if you get too close and forget to brake. Now the six seater is the way to go with the front driver and passenger seat with a/c blowing up your hi-nee, freaking awesome. The refrigerator/freezer in the second row worth having on road trips. The Flex rides like a sedan but has the looks of a Chevy Tahoe lower version but has more rear space with the third row up than a Tahoe. The towing capacity is awesome had the biggest U haul trailer you can rent hooked onto the back.

Not Sure I'll Ever Want a Different Car!
By PickyMom on Thursday, March 05, 2020(I have a '14 SEL with appearance package) As soon as I test drove this car, I knew I wanted one! It's extremely roomy and comfy with good visual clearance all around. It rides smooth, turns great for a big vehicle and it has enough horse power to throw you back in your seat, if you need it. The bliss system and rear back-up camera are extremely helpful. I LOVE the moonroof and glass paneling on the roof, which has sunscreens to keep the glare out during the day, but retractable to stargaze from the reclining backseats! The third seat folds completely flat and they can also turn around for tailgating. The "leather" seats are also a nice quality and haven't yet shown any signs of wear. The "not-so-great" of owning a Flex is the gas mileage...it's a big vehicle with decent horse power, so it's to be expected, but 16.5 MPG in the city hurts your wallet. The other issue I have is that there is a "rattle" coming from the back, but my husband (FORD tech) says it's just from the material not being the greatest quality. Also, my back-up camera only works half the time, but the vehicle is 6 years old. I have had no major issues with this car and absolutely love it. The outside is a little boxy, but once you get inside and drive it, you'll fall in love!

I own one of the servers on this network (saturn.42net.org), although there are 2 others that I didn't list on here because I don't know the details. I was bored and wanted to give 42net a website so decided to make a small place for the network's presence.

Theresa May has announced she is forming a coalition government with the DUP, after failing to win an overall majority in the House of Commons.
In a speech outside Downing Street, she said: "I will now form a government. A government that can provide certainty and lead Britain forward at this critical time for our country.
"This government will guide the country through the crucial Brexit talks that begin in just 10 days. We will continue to work with our friends and allies in the Democratic Unionist Party in particular.
"Our two parties have enjoyed a strong relationship over many years. This will allow us to come together as a country."

Discover your genetic ancestors
WHOSE BLOOD courses through your veins? Could you be a descendant of a Viking warrior or a Berber pirate? Or perhaps you are related to the Uí Neill chieftains or the kings of Laighin (Leinster)?
If so your genes will carry the proof, and a new company set up by scientists offers a service that can reveal your genetic heritage.
Today sees the launch of "Ireland's DNA", a direct to customer genetic ancestry service. "We are planning it as a national project. The more people that get involved, the more we can understand about Irish history from the resulting dataset," says Dr Gianpiero Cavalleri, one of three founders of the company.
Cavalleri is a biomedical research lecturer at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and heads its epilepsy genetics group. The Irish project grew out of a similar undertaking that started about six months ago in Scotland.
And that in turn came out of a book examining the genetic ancestry of Scotland, The Scots: A Genetic Journey. The authors were Dr James Wilson, a geneticist at the University of Edinburgh who works on the genetic roots of disease, and historian Alistair Moffat.
"There was huge public interest in the book," Dr Cavalleri says, so much so that the three decided to set up a company, Scotland's DNA, to help finance further study of the country's collective genome.
"Now we are going to use the same concept for Ireland," he says. He got the idea some years ago while at Stanford University. He became fascinated with the idea that you could identify past human migration by looking at the male-only part of the genome, the Y chromosome.
As males of a given lineage began their migration out of Africa, some would have been more successful than others. Untold numbers would have been killed off, but many continued to branch out into Europe and Asia. Successful migrants would have left their mark behind in the Y chromosome.
He realised that people were interested to know their links to past generations. "With DNA you can really go deep into the past to learn where your ancestors came from," he says.
A decade ago it was tremendously expensive to deliver a complete genome but today prices have fallen and it is feasible to think of using DNA technology to identify ancestry. About 20,000 genomes have been completed so far by labs around the world and this has opened up the possibility of direct Y chromosome comparisons between individuals and groups.
The more genomes completed, the more the resolution improves, and the better the ability to see back in time. "Up until recently we might have had a genetic signature for the northwest of Ireland collectively as being Irish. What has happened since is we can split up the Irish type. The higher resolution comes from the sequencing of the human genome."
It all comes down to comparisons. "We look for markers and see what they are telling us," he says. "A marker is part of the DNA that is different between people. Those differences arise with each generation."
Most of our genome is a mix of our mother's and father's DNA, but the Y chromosome does not mix in a substantial way. Cavalleri likens it to the Olympic torch as individual runners carry it from city to city on the way to the games.
The same torch is passed from person to person but imagine that each person is able to leave behind a mark on the torch, a small spelling change in the DNA. "By looking at those spelling changes you get a sense of how those people have moved. After all, we are part of one big pedigree." It is all about knowing what markers are hidden in a genome pointing towards one ancestry or another.
Almost 1,000 people have so far paid to have their DNA ancestry assessed in Scotland and the work is throwing up some surprises, Cavalleri says. For example, an estimated 1 per cent of all Scotsmen are direct descendants of the Berber and Tuareg tribesmen of the Sahara, a staggering number given the lineage is around 5,600 years old.
Scots comedian Fred MacAulay assumed he had Viking origins – via Mac-Olaf or son of Olaf. This, though, proved to be wrong, Cavalleri says. MacAulay's DNA shows that his ancestors were not Hebridean Vikings but Irish, probably a man sold in Dublin's ninth-century slave markets and carried off. "What we think happened is the Vikings took individuals from Ireland back to Viking bases and they had children," he says.
"There is a fascination with this type of work," he says, and people can now participate via the company. The male Y chromosome can be traced but it is also possible to track female lines via mitochondrial DNA only passed along by female lineages.
It costs €250 to analyse both the Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA and €210 for either one or the other. Women don't have a Y chromosome but often co-opt either a brother's or a father's DNA to show the ancestry, Cavalleri says.
The data is heavily secured and can only be used for one purpose. "The data is all stored separately on a server, it is not shared with anyone," he says. "It is only used for ancestry. It is not used for any medical purposes. It is only used to study the history of Ireland and Scotland."
Each person gets a web page and an account and are told the distribution of their particular maternal and paternal DNA type. The analysis will show this distribution across the world, as far back as Africa, but right up to where the type is found today, he says.

Researching royalty: DNA fit for kings
MANY FAMILIES like to lay claim to being descended from Irish kings and today DNA can help prove this relatedness. While many family names are associated with one king or another, genetic markers can deliver the proof.
Ireland before the arrival of the Normans was dynastic, with powerful local warlords controlling territories. Their high positions in society also provided the opportunity to deliver many offspring, explains Dr Gianpiero Cavalleri, a geneticist at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. It means that many of the genes passed forward into later generations had their origins in a powerful dynastic leader.
The important families are well known here, for example, the Uí Néills in Ulster begun by fifth-century warlord Niall of the Nine Hostages. Family names associated with him include O'Neill, O'Conner, O'Donnell, McLoughlin, O'Rourke and others. These surnames are associated with one particular type of Y chromosome, the male-only part of the genome.
The Eoganachta were another important dynasty in fifth-century Munster led by Conall Corc, descended from founder Eoghan-Mor. This family, with surnames such as O'Donoghue, Hayes, O'Keeffe and O'Sullivan, have a different Y chromosome type.
The Eoganachta were displaced in the 10th century by the Dalcassians, originally descended many centuries earlier from Cormac Cas, Cavalleri says. Family names here include O'Brien, Kennedy, McGrath and O'Casey, to name a few.
Then there were the kings of Laighin (Leinster) led by Dermot McMurrough who invited the Normans into Ireland. Names here include Kearney, Kinsella and McMurrough.
Few leaders had the genetic impact of the great 13th-century Mongol warrior Genghis Khan. Clearly he procreated where ever he went and today his Y chromsome is seen in 0.5 per cent of the world population, or about 16 million men. – Dick Ahlstrom
