Solar flux and sunspot numbers were down again this week. Average sunspot numbers were down by over 66 points and average solar flux by almost 43 when compared to the previous week.
Last week's bulletin ARLP040 pointed out that the average daily solar flux values for the past three calendar quarters were all about the same, around 182 (180.5 for the first quarter, 182.9 for the second quarter, and 181.9 for the quarter year just completed). The average daily flux for September was 182.1, right at this same value. The past week's average solar flux was 152.6, well below this average.
We are surely at the peak of this solar cycle. Since there is so much daily variation in solar indices, we won't know until much later when the peak actually occurred. This year's values, although higher than last year's, look flat when examining the first nine months of this year.
Solar watchers and HF radio aficionados wonder if during the final quarter the sun will give us some more activity, yielding a later peak. Since the average radio amateur does not actually see many solar cycles during a lifetime, this is a subject of keen interest.
As a young child, the author of this bulletin missed the most exciting sunspot cycle of all, cycle 19 in 1958. As a young ham at age 12 in early 1965, I joined the amateur service at the solar minimum between cycles 19 and 20. The peak of cycle 20 around age 17 was a bit of a disappointment, especially after listening to the stories of the older brethren who gloried in the peak of cycle 19.
Cycles 21 and 22 around age 27 and 38 were more exciting than cycle 20, but one could only hope for another cycle 19 or better. Now at age 48, the probable peak of this cycle is not standing out as anything remarkable, and the question arises of how many more cycles will I get to see, and what will they be like? At an average 11 years per cycle, the probability of seeing much more than two additional solar cycle peaks seems remote, at least at this stage in life. One can only hope. At least by the era of cycle 23 we have so many more tools available than we did in earlier cycles, and with internet connections the availability of these observation and forecasting aids has come right down to the level of the average ham.
We may wish for more sunspots, but along with more activity comes more solar flares and coronal mass ejections which increase polar absorption of radio signals. These events are often interesting to aurora watchers and VHF enthusiasts, but can be a problem for HF communications. October 5 was a day of big geomagnetic disturbance, when the planetary A index reached 96 and there was a sustained period when the K index was seven, indicating a severe geomagnetic storm. The high latitude indices were worse, with Alaska's college A index at 105 and K index as high as eight.
Geomagnetic indices were very quiet from October 6-9. In fact, on October 8 Alaska's college A and K indices were zero for the entire day, which is highly unusual. Solar flux reached a recent short term minimum of 139.6 on October 10.
As this bulletin is written, activity is again increasing. Planetary A index is expected to rise to 35 on Friday, October 13, then hit 15 the next day and 12 for Sunday and Monday. Solar flux values for the same four days are predicted to be 170, 180, 195 and 205. The current rise in geomagnetic activity is due to a full halo coronal mass ejection at the end of the UTC day on October 9. This resulted in an interplanetary shock wave that hit earth's magnetosphere at 2330 UTC on October 12.
Solar flux is expected to peak at 220 around October 18 and 19, and not dip below 200 until October 28. The next short term solar flux minimum is expected around November 5-7. Average solar flux predicted for the next 45 days is 191, which is a bit higher than the average for the first three quarters of this year. Of course, this could be an artifact of the period we are looking at, which includes two upcoming peaks based on the 27.5 day solar rotation.
Sunspot numbers for October 5 through 11 were 145, 127, 94, 128, 106, 95 and 131 with a mean of 118. 10.7 cm flux was 173.8, 158.1, 155.6, 148.9, 140.8, 139.6 and 151.4, with a mean of 152.6, and estimated planetary A indices were 96, 6, 7, 5, 5, 12 and 14 with a mean of 20.7.

Congratulations to Kevin Ni who has been selected to attend the AIOC Informatics School of Excellence to be held at ANU during December. Kevin is one of only 26 students in Australia to qualify for the intensive training program. Four students will be chosen to represent Australia at the International Olympiad in Informatics held in Kazakhstan next July. Well done to John Pham and Danny Nguyen for their volunteer work at the recent Cruelty Free Festival. Their courtesy, enthusiasm, willingness to help and obliging manner endeared them to organisers and patrons alike.
SBHS offers only two scholarships/bursaries – the Phillip Day Memorial Scholarship and the Sir Roden and Lady Cutler Foundation Scholarship. All enrolled or enrolling students are eligible to apply for the Phillip Day Memorial Scholarship. It is a one-year credit on the school account for $1,500. The Selection Criteria covers talented boys in an academic area or a co-curricular endeavour. Good all-rounders qualify as do students with special needs – financial or otherwise. There are many boys in the school who would make good candidates for this award. I urge them to take the trouble to download and complete the application form. The Sir Roden and Lady Cutler Foundation Inc Scholarship is a two-year award with a credit at the school account for $1,500 for each Year – 11 and 12. Only boys enrolled or enrolling in Year 11 are eligible to apply. The criteria for this scholarship are different. It has an emphasis on a prior record of service to others, to the school and/or the community. Boys with initiative, compassion and leadership skills are invited to apply.
Look for the details on the website www.sydneyboyshigh.com/scholarships. Do not assume that you are not worthy or eligible. Applications close on November 28.
Granting student leave during the school year is becoming more controversial as governments have a growing concern that far too many students are leaving school early just to take advantage of cheaper flights. A commercial reason for leave is considered invalid. Any family wishing to apply for student leave during term 4 must do so by Friday, November 14. School Policy on granting leave during the school term will be tightened for 2015.
Too many students have not yet discussed their progress with me. Clearance Forms have been issued to all boys and they should be meeting their commitments. The boys are deciding on their courses for the HSC and it is imperative that I speak to them all before Tuesday, November 18. Please ask your son for his report and his plans for courses for 2015. Boys need to start focussing on the important months of HSC learning ahead! As from November 18, strong negative consequences will have to be applied to force boys to comply with school policy.
The HSC exams concluded on November 4. Year 7, 8 and 9 examinations have finished. Year 8 examinations will be held next week. Year 8 boys have ESSA online science assessments next week. Year 10 yearly exams commence next Friday. All boys are expected to attend school until the last official day of term 4, Wednesday 17 December.
Please be advised the SBHS P&C Annual General Meeting will be held next Monday 10th November at 6:30pm in the Staff Common Room.
Considerable time has been spent in the Junior Library in the last few weeks by our hard working network manager and web manager and our Laptop IT technician installing 30 brand new computers and monitors. They have also just replaced our colour printer/photocopier. Our Libraries and our school are very privileged that IT infrastructure is very well maintained thanks to our parent donations to the Technology Fund and the Library Fund. More ergonomic staff computer desks have also come our way – thanks to James Rudd for re-connecting computers and our new GA and his assistant who moved all our furniture.
The Junior Librarian has also spent considerable time obtaining quotes for new circulation counters which will make our Junior Library look more professional and run more effectively. (We have been making do with hand me down cupboards and rather scruffy sorting shelves) It is hoped that these will arrive early next year. Our Library Staff and our lovely 54 active Library Monitors work in this area for 2 hours every day. Our 6000 loans annually are processed in this area and all of our shelf maintenance and collection maintenance - stocktaking, disposals and subject added entry writing and checking is done out in the Library proper. This area is very well used and very busy and needs to be tightly organised.
The Year 9 film festival was held in the Junior Library on Monday at lunchtime. Our big screen came in very handy for this purpose and thanks the Year 9 boys who transformed the Junior Library into a movie theatre for themselves. The movies were very interesting (and hilarious) modern adaptations of Macbeth – loved the blood and the gunshot special effects! The audience loved it.
We have been inundated with wonderful helpers - thanks to an increase in popularity of the Duke of Edinburgh scheme - in our library and my staff has to think very flexibly, often very quickly to find them productive jobs. However, whenever we find ourselves hard pressed in this regard we also realise how valuable this assistance is to the effort this library makes to put out, clean, tidy and assist in processing a large volume of resources for the boys and to tag and advertise these resources. Processing 42 boxes of brand new books from the Babic Bequest as well as purchasing more age suitable resources for our readers puts out a lot of incredible resources but it is quite taxing. We could not do what we do without the assistance of our Library Monitors. Thank you for your patience with us boys and for your help.
We had over 100 students who responded to our Senior Library Survey. This provides us with information that we can use to improve or make more relevant the services and resources of the Senior Library to our users. We were encouraged by this feedback with most (93%) using the library for studying with collaboration or working with friends also common at 75%, with 45% doing research and 33% reading for pleasure. Most respondents thought that books in the library are still relevant at 86% as we encourage boys to use a range of resource formats for research and reading for all purposes. Boys also commented on aspects of the library and how it could be improved. They want more new resources and more space in the library as it can be very crowded in here at times. We will be attempting to respond to their comments as much as we can in the next year.
Recently the library has had its DVD collection upgraded with the purchase of DVDs which will complement the new Australian Curriculum across subjects such as English, History, Science and Social Science as well as film versions of literature etc.
The Senior Library is currently preparing for our annual stocktake of resources. Once again we have added many (nearly 1000 items) to our collection this year! To ensure that they are accounted for and look at how they are being used our stock take serves several important functions. We also often find wrongly shelved items previously thought lost, assess the usefulness and relevance of older items, correct mistakes in the record and aim to assess and remedy any gaps in the collection. As our collection grows this task is increasingly bigger and more important to ensure that the resources available are the most relevant for current curriculum requirements leading up to the HSC examinations as well as resources which will provide wide reading choices for student interest.
Finally, we are now in the process of receiving materials borrowed by our Year 12 students as they come back after completing their HSC to have their “clearance” forms signed. As they take leave of SBH I’m sure that they feel both excited at the future but at the same time a sense of loss at leaving this school especially the friends they have made during their time here. I’m sure that many of them will be back to visit and some to work coaching and tutoring students who will eventually follow them in the future. Good luck and our best wishes for them in the HSC and hopefully all will achieve their hoped for results. It has been a pleasure working with them during their time in the McDonald Senior Library.

Hello all. This week against Grammar was our time to shine. The rivalry was brewing, the boys were ready… Our 1st grade came out on top with a 24-point difference. In the 15 As, a buzzer beater made by Nick Lambros would allow for a 29-28 win.
Full of confidence and with a high morale Sydney High hosted King's a perennial power house in GPS tennis. And again under sweltering conditions we served up another great victory, remaining undefeated so far in the pre-season. Depth in our doubles was further demonstrated with wins in our second and third pairing. Carl and Eddy, although lapsing in the first set, returned to display their consistent doubles performance. Matthew and I struggled with unforced errors against a very capable opposition. Into the singles with a 3-2 advantage we were again able to capitalise with number 4, 5 and 6 singles, Stevie, Josh and I all winning comfortably. However Matthew, Eddy and Carl were unable to get the edge on their skilful opponents unfortunately losing 2-6 2-6, 6-3 3-6 4-6, 5-7 6-4 4-6 respectively. The end of the rubber saw High victorious 5-4 and eager for the Top 6 Tournament next Saturday.
2nd Grade headed to King's School on a hot Saturday wary of the strength of the opposition, but the team was quietly confident after the 6.5-2.5 win against Newington last week. The number one doubles pair raced to a 5-2 lead in the first set, only to drop the next 5 games. Similarly in the second set, the pair led 4-1 before numerous errors resulted in a 5-7 5-7 loss. The number two pair played aggressive tennis and were rewarded with a comfortable 6-2 6-4 win. The number three pair fought hard from a set down to win their second doubles match in two weeks, 5-7 7-5 10-5. In the singles, James stayed close with a solid opponent in both sets but could not get on top, going down 3-6 4-6. Richard battled through three sets to record a scrappy win, 4-6 6-3 6-2. Danny was in complete control against a good player, but a loss of concentration in the second set meant that he had to finish the job in three, 6-1 1-6 6-4. Branko fought hard in the opening set before cruising through the second, winning 6-4 6-1. Wanyu’s aggressive game proved too much for his opponent to handle, winning 6-3 7-5. Kinsey’s good recent form showed again as he destroyed his opponent 6-1 6-0. The team enjoyed a big win overall, 7-2, and much credit goes to the junior members of the team for playing so well over the last couple of weeks. The future looks bright for High tennis, but for now we are looking forward to a match against rivals Grammar.
2nd Grade travelled to Grammar on a humid and windy day confident of a good result after strong wins against Newington and King's in the past two weeks. The number one doubles pair came out strong and took the opening set, however unforced errors crept in as the match progressed and the pair lost 6-4 3-6 8-10. Fortunately, the number two and number three pairs were able to win their matches comfortably, 6-1 6-2 and 6-0 6-2 respectively, allowing the team to take a 2-1 lead into the singles matches. James built a commanding lead from the start but his consistent opponent clawed his way back into the match, which ended 6-2 2-6 2-2 due to a downpour. Richard was able to neutralise his opponent’s powerful serve and forehand, winning 6-1 6-2. Danny only played 3 games before his match was also abandoned due to the rain. Aaron played a great match against a skilful opponent, winning his first singles match in the 2nd Grade competition 7-5 6-4. Branko fought hard in a very evenly contested match, leading 4-6 6-4 2-1 when the rain stopped the match. Wanyu made light work of his opponent with an impressive serving display, recording a 6-1 6-4 win. With only two weeks until Round 1 of competition starts, High 2nd Grade is in a great position, but there is still much to work on in training in order to reach the ultimate goal of winning the premiership.
After the final training session before our first round of the GPS competition what will now become an annual event will be the official presentation of the caps to the 1st and 2nd XI teams. The night involved our boys starting off with sausage rolls, thanks to House of Pies and then moving into the Pavilion where we had a special guest presenter for the occasion to speak about the meaning of the cap. To kick off our first year of doing this it was a great honour to have SBHS old boy and now a current Test opener batsman for England, Sam Robson. Sam spoke about his journey from playing 1st XI at SBHS to Australian U19s to Middlesex County Cricket and most recently representing England against Sri Lanka and scoring his debut Test century. The boys were pleasantly surprised when he pulled out his England Baggy Cap to show the boys. He explained to the boys that a lot of hard work and determination will get you where you want to go.
Our first round of the GPS Season threw us a lot of heart break. Our 1st XI started off very strongly against our arch rivals, Grammar. Winning the toss and electing to bat we had an opening stand of 89 runs after 21 overs. Then a couple of unfortunate run outs, especially Shashank who was standing at the non-striker’s end and the ball was smashed back at him from Sudarshan only to hit his foot then ricochet back to the bowlers hand who only had to take the bails off. Sudarshan batted extremely well smashing the bowlers around the park with a much needed 64. The boys ended up setting a respectable total of 160. We started well having them 2-30. Then a large dark cloud with lightning in the background threatened to interrupt play. Our boys panicked and opted to try and rush through the overs. Unfortunately this was our downfall allowing Grammar to score easily. When the rain finally came after 26 overs Grammar were 25 runs in front according to the Duckworth Lewis Calculation. When we came back on Grammar only needed 40 runs to win which they managed to achieve. The 2nd XI on the other hand had a much more dramatic time with the rain interruption. Bowling well they had Grammar 7-90, but one of their top-order batters kept them in the game with a 69 helping the team post 139, which our boys felt very comfortable to chase. They got off to a good start being 2-59 with Vyaas (24), who has consistently scored well this season, and Yoshi (24) placing them 10 runs in front in the Duckworth Lewis calculations. Unfortunately with the rain approaching the boys lost a wicket and then were unsure whether to protect their wicket or score runs. They opted for the protection of wicket and this ultimately left them 1 run behind after the 26th over when the rain came down and washed out the remainder of the game. What was unfortunate was if we had used a different application on the laptop it would have adjudicated the match as a Tie, but the app we agreed on had us 1 run behind the par score. It was a great effort by the boys and they deserved a better result. Kabir and Raphin both bowled extremely well and have continued to be a threat in the 2nd XI.
The 16As have had a good season thus far, but some poor fielding this week allowed Grammar to post an unbeatable total. Faysal bowled extremely well with a lot of bad luck with many dropped catches. To his credit he decided to take the matter into his own hands and scored a blazing 43. The 15As played their best match for the season with a nail biting loss to a very strong Grammar side losing by just 8 runs. They needed 20 runs off the remaining 80 balls but in the end were all out with 4 balls remaining.

full of confidence and with a high morale sydney high hosted king's a perennial power house in gps tennis. and again under sweltering conditions we served up another great victory, remaining undefeated so far in the pre-season. depth in our doubles was further demonstrated with wins in our second and third pairing. carl and eddy, although lapsing in the first set, returned to display their consistent doubles performance. matthew and i struggled with unforced errors against a very capable opposition. into the singles with a 3-2 advantage we were again able to capitalise with number 4, 5 and 6 singles, stevie, josh and i all winning comfortably. however matthew, eddy and carl were unable to get the edge on their skilful opponents unfortunately losing 2-6 2-6, 6-3 3-6 4-6, 5-7 6-4 4-6 respectively. the end of the rubber saw high victorious 5-4 and eager for the top 6 tournament next saturday.
2nd grade headed to king's school on a hot saturday wary of the strength of the opposition, but the team was quietly confident after the 6.5-2.5 win against newington last week. the number one doubles pair raced to a 5-2 lead in the first set, only to drop the next 5 games. similarly in the second set, the pair led 4-1 before numerous errors resulted in a 5-7 5-7 loss. the number two pair played aggressive tennis and were rewarded with a comfortable 6-2 6-4 win. the number three pair fought hard from a set down to win their second doubles match in two weeks, 5-7 7-5 10-5. in the singles, james stayed close with a solid opponent in both sets but could not get on top, going down 3-6 4-6. richard battled through three sets to record a scrappy win, 4-6 6-3 6-2. danny was in complete control against a good player, but a loss of concentration in the second set meant that he had to finish the job in three, 6-1 1-6 6-4. branko fought hard in the opening set before cruising through the second, winning 6-4 6-1. wanyu’s aggressive game proved too much for his opponent to handle, winning 6-3 7-5. kinsey’s good recent form showed again as he destroyed his opponent 6-1 6-0. the team enjoyed a big win overall, 7-2, and much credit goes to the junior members of the team for playing so well over the last couple of weeks. the future looks bright for high tennis, but for now we are looking forward to a match against rivals grammar.
2nd grade travelled to grammar on a humid and windy day confident of a good result after strong wins against newington and king's in the past two weeks. the number one doubles pair came out strong and took the opening set, however unforced errors crept in as the match progressed and the pair lost 6-4 3-6 8-10. fortunately, the number two and number three pairs were able to win their matches comfortably, 6-1 6-2 and 6-0 6-2 respectively, allowing the team to take a 2-1 lead into the singles matches. james built a commanding lead from the start but his consistent opponent clawed his way back into the match, which ended 6-2 2-6 2-2 due to a downpour. richard was able to neutralise his opponent’s powerful serve and forehand, winning 6-1 6-2. danny only played 3 games before his match was also abandoned due to the rain. aaron played a great match against a skilful opponent, winning his first singles match in the 2nd grade competition 7-5 6-4. branko fought hard in a very evenly contested match, leading 4-6 6-4 2-1 when the rain stopped the match. wanyu made light work of his opponent with an impressive serving display, recording a 6-1 6-4 win. with only two weeks until round 1 of competition starts, high 2nd grade is in a great position, but there is still much to work on in training in order to reach the ultimate goal of winning the premiership.
after the final training session before our first round of the gps competition what will now become an annual event will be the official presentation of the caps to the 1st and 2nd xi teams. the night involved our boys starting off with sausage rolls, thanks to house of pies and then moving into the pavilion where we had a special guest presenter for the occasion to speak about the meaning of the cap. to kick off our first year of doing this it was a great honour to have sbhs old boy and now a current test opener batsman for england, sam robson. sam spoke about his journey from playing 1st xi at sbhs to australian u19s to middlesex county cricket and most recently representing england against sri lanka and scoring his debut test century. the boys were pleasantly surprised when he pulled out his england baggy cap to show the boys. he explained to the boys that a lot of hard work and determination will get you where you want to go.
our first round of the gps season threw us a lot of heart break. our 1st xi started off very strongly against our arch rivals, grammar. winning the toss and electing to bat we had an opening stand of 89 runs after 21 overs. then a couple of unfortunate run outs, especially shashank who was standing at the non-striker’s end and the ball was smashed back at him from sudarshan only to hit his foot then ricochet back to the bowlers hand who only had to take the bails off. sudarshan batted extremely well smashing the bowlers around the park with a much needed 64. the boys ended up setting a respectable total of 160. we started well having them 2-30. then a large dark cloud with lightning in the background threatened to interrupt play. our boys panicked and opted to try and rush through the overs. unfortunately this was our downfall allowing grammar to score easily. when the rain finally came after 26 overs grammar were 25 runs in front according to the duckworth lewis calculation. when we came back on grammar only needed 40 runs to win which they managed to achieve. the 2nd xi on the other hand had a much more dramatic time with the rain interruption. bowling well they had grammar 7-90, but one of their top-order batters kept them in the game with a 69 helping the team post 139, which our boys felt very comfortable to chase. they got off to a good start being 2-59 with vyaas (24), who has consistently scored well this season, and yoshi (24) placing them 10 runs in front in the duckworth lewis calculations. unfortunately with the rain approaching the boys lost a wicket and then were unsure whether to protect their wicket or score runs. they opted for the protection of wicket and this ultimately left them 1 run behind after the 26th over when the rain came down and washed out the remainder of the game. what was unfortunate was if we had used a different application on the laptop it would have adjudicated the match as a tie, but the app we agreed on had us 1 run behind the par score. it was a great effort by the boys and they deserved a better result. kabir and raphin both bowled extremely well and have continued to be a threat in the 2nd xi.
the 16as have had a good season thus far, but some poor fielding this week allowed grammar to post an unbeatable total. faysal bowled extremely well with a lot of bad luck with many dropped catches. to his credit he decided to take the matter into his own hands and scored a blazing 43. the 15as played their best match for the season with a nail biting loss to a very strong grammar side losing by just 8 runs. they needed 20 runs off the remaining 80 balls but in the end were all out with 4 balls remaining.

Student doctor, what syndrome results from the occlusion of the vertebral artery or one of its medullary branches such as the posterior inferior cerebellar artery?
What are the symptoms of the lateral medullary syndrome?
I’m going to group these for you. First, the contralateral symptoms.
The contralateral symptoms of the lateral medullary syndrome are the contralateral loss of pain and temperature sensation from the trunk and extremities and the ipsilateral symptoms. There’s quite a list here, so please pause if you wish.
The ipsilateral symptoms of the lateral medullary syndrome include loss of pain and temperature sensation from the face, ipsilateral paralysis of the larynx, pharynx, and palate, ipsilateral Horner’s syndrome, and ipsilateral dystaxia, dysmetria, and dysdiadokinesia.
All right, what about symptoms that are not ipsilateral nor contralateral?
Other symptoms of the lateral medullary syndrome include loss of the gag reflex, nystagmus, nausea, vomiting, and vertigo.
Let’s turn these around. What syndrome is described by the following symptoms: Contralateral loss of pain and temperature sensation from the trunk and extremities, the ipsilateral loss of pain and temperature sensation from the face, ipsilateral paralysis of the larynx, pharynx, and palate, ipsilateral Horner’s syndrome ipsilateral dystaxia, dysmetria, and dysdiadokinesia, and loss of gag reflex, nystagmus, nausea, vomiting, and vertigo?
This is the lateral medullary syndrome.
And from occlusion of what artery or arteries does the lateral medullary syndrome usually arise?
From the occlusion of the vertebral artery or one of its medullary branches such as the posterior inferior cerebellar artery.
And just to review, what occlusion, of what artery, usually gives rise to the medial medullary syndrome?

Symptoms:It causes characteristic soft decay of the fleshy tissues of several crops, e.g., potato tubers, carrot roots, onion bulbs and cabbage that generally have highcarbohydrate and nitrogen contents. When soft rot affects, the tissue softens. It becomes watery or slimy and as the rot progresses, the water extrudes, or in a dry atmosphere the water is lost rapidly by evaporation. This is a most common and destructive vegetable disease in storage and transit. Some diseased tissues give an offensive sulfurous odour, which may be due in part to the invasion of secondary bacteria. When the seed tuber of potato are affected in the soil the same types of decay follows. The shoots arising from the seed tuber may be similarly affected if the soil is moist for a long period. However, if the soil moisture is reduced as the disease progresses, the shoot develops a blackened, shriveled carto and its growth is stunted, but is not promptly killed. The leaflets become reddish in colour at the tips and branches more upright than normal and the entire shoot gradually becomes pale and yellowish. This phase of disease is commonly known as balckleg.
Disease Cycle:Wound caused by harvest bruises, freezing injury and insect activity is the most common avenue of infection; the organism lives over in soil and plant refuse. Abundant moisture at the surface of the tissue, where wounds are present, is essential for invasion; Penetration through lenticels of freshly harvested potatoes has been observed but is less common. Fairly high humidity is essential for the progress of the disease. Progress of disease is checked in a dry atmosphere.
Several maggot fly carry the organism. Adult flies lay their eggs on decayed vegetable material and as the eggs hatch, the larvae feed upon decayed debris, ingesting the bacteria including the soft rot organism. The adults developed from then are internally contaminated. The eggs laid by them are smeared with soft rot organism. The mouthparts and the intestines of the larvae hatched from these eggs become contaminated. As they feed or potato seeds pieces, or fleshy organs of vegetable, they carry the bacteria and infect the plant tissue. The larvae can penetrate any cork par the plant may form. Thus the insect becomes a very important factor of the causal organism.
The bacteria produce an enzyme, which is capable of dissolving the middle lamella. The continuation of this process accounts for the watery condition and for the loss of consistency of the decayed tissue.
Epidimiology:The presence of wounds and high humidity are most essential for the progress of this disease. The disease development takes place between a temperature range of 7-35 Degree C.
Bruising of plant parts should be avoided.
Provision should be made for healing of wounds and for drying of surfaces.
Storage should be at the lowest temperature at which the particular product can be expected to retain its culinary quality.
Potatoes should not be washed but may be passed through a current of warm air before transportation.
Careful selection of seed pieces.
Treating seed pieces with streptomycin sulphate or streptomycin sulphate + tetramycin.

Based on Rabbi David Begoun’s article, A Letter from God.
It's not so much that I sometimes get the feeling that I got a negative response.
It's the feeling that I OFTEN get, that I am getting no response at all.
There are things that I have been asking for and about for YEARS.
In addition to this as a personal matter, I am now involved in a close relationship with someone who was willing to "switch" from her previous background to keeping Shabbat and kashruth.
"Where is God's response? ANY Response, at all."
Perhaps you are looking in the wrong place for the answers. After more than 50 years in this world I can say definitively that G-d gives me exactly what I need most when I most need it. It is rarely what I ask for specifically but always solves the problem. So keep asking, but look more broadly at the events of your life when seeking the reply.
This video managed with such brevity and charm to convey profoundly deep and elevating ideas. We were left non-plussed by just how meaningful and apt and inspiring this was. Thank you!

Expert system, knowledge-based system, decisionsupport, rough set theory, data elimination.
The paper presents an idea of complex data analyses and decision support system for medical staff. The main goal of this system is to provide an easy to use, commonly available tool for quick diagnosing diseases, suggesting possible further treatment and deriving unknown dependences between different data coming from various patient's examinations. The system is based on the rough set theory   . In this paper the main stress is put on general idea of this system, the way it may be used and the fashion it works. What is more, the sketch of possible architecture of such system is presented including some example algorithms and suggested solutions, which may be applied during implementation. The prototype system has just been set up. The unique feature of the system relies on removing some data from decision tables   to enhance the quality of generated rules. Usually such a data is discarded, because it is useless (or even harmful) in knowledge acquisition. In our approach the improper data (excluded from the data used for drawing conclusions) is carefully taken into considerations. This methodology can be very important in medical applications. A case not fitting to the general classification cannot be neglected, but should be examined with a special care.

(JTA) — Education Secretary Betsy DeVos visited two yeshiva high schools in New York this week, amid allegations that such schools fail to provide an appropriate secular education.
“Secretary DeVos made these historic visits to better understand Jewish education, a unique and time-honored tradition, within the diversity of the American educational tapestry,” said Rabbi Abba Cohen of the ultra-Orthodox organization Agudath Israel of America, which pressed for the visits.
“In these schools, she saw commitment, innovation, inclusion, and values. Hopefully, also, the Secretary has gained a greater appreciation of why Jewish education means nothing less than ‘continuity and survival’ to us… and why we sacrifice so much to provide it to our children.” Cohen said Thursday in an email to JTA.
DeVos visited the Manhattan School for Girls on Tuesday and on Wednesday visited Yeshiva Darchei Torah, a preschool through high school yeshiva for boys.
The secretary’s visit comes as New York City’s Department of Edcuation investigates whether Hasidic schools provide an adequate secular education to their students. The investigation was launched in response to allegations by former students of such schools that the city and state failed them and that they were not prepared for life or employment in the outside world.
The two schools that DeVos visited do have tracks that prepare students for higher education. Their students also take the state Regents exam, which measures their readiness for higher education, but critics say they are not typical of many yeshivas.
The New York State budget approved last month included a provision that eases oversight of nonpublic schools, allowing haredi, or ultra-Orthodox yeshivas leeway in complying with state law requiring private schools to offer students instruction that is “at least substantially equivalent” to that offered in public schools. State Sen. Simcha Felder, a Democrat who represents several haredi neighborhoods in Brooklyn, had threatened to withhold key support for the budget without the provision.
The New York Times reported that enrollment in Orthodox Jewish schools in New York is steadily rising. There were at least 52,000 children enrolled in Hasidic schools in New York City in 2013, the newspaper reported, citing figures from the Avi Chai Foundation, and 28,500 in other yeshiva day schools.
DeVos has not yet visited a New York public school, and was criticized by the city’s Department of Education for skipping public schools on this trip.

devos visited the manhattan school for girls on tuesday and on wednesday visited yeshiva darchei torah, a preschool through high school yeshiva for boys.
the secretary’s visit comes as new york city’s department of edcuation investigates whether hasidic schools provide an adequate secular education to their students. the investigation was launched in response to allegations by former students of such schools that the city and state failed them and that they were not prepared for life or employment in the outside world.
the two schools that devos visited do have tracks that prepare students for higher education. their students also take the state regents exam, which measures their readiness for higher education, but critics say they are not typical of many yeshivas.
the new york state budget approved last month included a provision that eases oversight of nonpublic schools, allowing haredi, or ultra-orthodox yeshivas leeway in complying with state law requiring private schools to offer students instruction that is “at least substantially equivalent” to that offered in public schools. state sen. simcha felder, a democrat who represents several haredi neighborhoods in brooklyn, had threatened to withhold key support for the budget without the provision.
the new york times reported that enrollment in orthodox jewish schools in new york is steadily rising. there were at least 52,000 children enrolled in hasidic schools in new york city in 2013, the newspaper reported, citing figures from the avi chai foundation, and 28,500 in other yeshiva day schools.
devos has not yet visited a new york public school, and was criticized by the city’s department of education for skipping public schools on this trip.

Firewalls are used to protect your computer from offensive websites and potential hackers. They are a barrier that helps to protect your computer from destruction. In other words, it deciphers through everything that is coming into your computer from the internet and if something happens to get flagged then the firewall will not let it in. Firewalls are extremely helpful in large corporations where there are hundreds of networked computers. An additional benefit of corporate firewalls is that it gives the company a great deal of control over how their employees use the internet while they are at work.
Some systems come with a built in firewall, if not then you can easily install one yourself. There are software and hardware firewalls. The difference is that a software firewall can be installed on a computer that has internet access and acts as a gateway by providing the only source of access between your computer and the internet.
However a hardware firewall normally has a built in Ethernet card and a hub. The computer connects to the router which is connected to a DSL or cable modem. Hardware firewalls offer the best security and are very affordable. They can be installed at home for less than $100 which includes a router, firewall, and Ethernet hub for broadband connections.
Firewalls can protect your computer from many threats and makes it much more difficult for people with ill intent to access it. Firewalls can protect your computer from remote logins, backdoor access, SMTP system hijacking, operating system bugs, and denial of service, E-mail bombs, macros, viruses, spam, redirect bombs, and source routing. Of course you will gain the highest level of security by just blocking everything but then the internet would simply be of no use to you whatsoever. It is a good idea though to block everything and then allow access to only the things that you find necessary to use. Most people just rely on the default methods that are automatically set on their computer from the manufacturer.
From a security standpoint, the best feature about installing a firewall is that no one else can tap into your private network from the outside which is extremely helpful for businesses. Many times people combine a firewall with a proxy server. A proxy server is used to gain access to web pages by other computers. In other words, one computer requests a web page which is retrieved by the proxy server and then sent to the computer that requested it. Proxy servers make most computers runs more efficiently because when you get access to a web page it is automatically cached on the proxy server and then the next time that you want to access that particular site, it does not have to reload first.
While there is no doubt that a firewall can be very helpful as a safeguard against viruses as well as many other unwanted items, it is also obvious that when a firewall is used in combination with a proxy server, the protection level increases significantly.

See you in Malaga, Spain, in 2018!
Congratulations to best paper award authors!
Welcome to SPIN 2017, the 24th International SPIN Symposium on Model Checking of Software! SPIN 2017 will be held in Santa Barbara, California on July 13 and 14.
The SPIN symposium brings together researchers and practitioners interested in automated, tool-based techniques to analyze software and models of software for verification and validation purposes. The symposium specifically focuses on concurrent software, but does not exclude analysis of sequential software. Submissions are solicited on theoretical results, novel algorithms, tool development, and empirical evaluation.
SPIN 2017 is collocated with two other closely related events that will take place from Monday, July 10 to Friday, July 14. Visit this link for the week’s overview.
This year SPIN is organized in conjunction with the International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ISSTA) as a ACM SIGSOFT event.
SPIN and ISSTA are pleased to feature the Rigorous Examination of Reactive Systems (RERS) Workshop comprising the RERS Verification Challenge. See the RERS 2017 website for more information.
SPIN 2017 will feature short and full papers. The list of accepted papers are available here.
Registration is now open! Visit the ISSTA web site at this link to register for both SPIN and reserve your accommodations.
Information about the Santa Barbara and the university is now available on ISSTA web site at this link.
Accommodations can be reserved via the ISSTA registration site.

If you require a letter for obtaining a visa to attend SPIN or if you are affected by the US travel restrictions, please visit this page.
This information is also available at the ISSTA web site at this link.
The SPIN symposium originated as a workshop focusing on explicit- state model checking, specifically as related to the Spin model checker. However, over the years it has evolved to a broadly scoped symposium for software analysis using any automated techniques, including model checking, automated theorem proving, and symbolic execution.
An overview of the previous SPIN symposia (and early workshops) can be found here.

Anthisan cream may be used to provide relief, pain, itching and inflammation caused by insect stings, bites and nettle rash.
Anthisan cream contains a medicine called Mepyramine Maleate. This belongs to a group of medicines called antihistamines. It works by blocking a natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. Anthisan cream may be used to provide relief, pain, itching and inflammation caused by insect stings, bites and nettle rash.
Mepyramine Maleate 2% w/w, Ceto-Stearyl Alcohol, Polyethylene Glycol 600 Monostearate, caster Oil, Methyldroxybenzoate, Foin Copue (fragrance), Silicone Antifoam, Purified Water.
Anthisan bite and sting cream should be applied directly to the site of the insect bite, insect sting or stinging nettle rash. For best results, use as soon as possible after the bite or sting.
Do not use on large areas of skin, if the skin is cut or grazed, on eczema or broken skin or on areas of sunburnt skin. Stop using if you notice signs of skin sensitivity. These includes redness, swelling, itching, pain or burning sensation. If symptoms worsen or do not improve after 3 days talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Keep out of the reach and sight of children.

And both have deals for you.
Surprise! Taylor turns five today and is offering $5 hoagies. Photograph by Stacy Zarin-Goldberg.
Unlike selfish humans, restaurants tend to celebrate birthdays by giving other people presents—and both Taylor Gourmet and DGS Delicatessen are commemorating their “births” this week with dining deals.
First up, Taylor marks its fifth year of existence by offering diners $5 regular-size hoagies Wednesday through Sunday at all locations. The five options are all new to the menu, including the Pearl Street (roast turkey, Brie, and sundried tomato pesto), the Packer Ave (roast pork, garlicky spinach, and provolone), and the vegetarian Cheltenham Ave (roasted tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and onion-balsamic spread).
Younger eatery DGS marks its first anniversary on Saturday with a three-course prime rib dinner for $30. The homey meal includes a house salad with caraway dressing, a 12-ounce prime rib platter filled with potato latkes, garlic spinach, and horseradish sauce, and chocolate cake for dessert. Unless you’re going really old-school and washing that down with a tall glass of milk, take advantage of drink specials such as an $8 rye Manhattan, $5 Port City brews, or a celebratory $25 bottle of Poema cava.
