The causative factors of fish diseases can be grouped under six broad categories:
1. Internal to the individual – genetic diseases
2. Environment associated diseases (such as critical intensities of light/temperature/pH/ dissolved gases) 3. Physical injuries (ex: handling/transporting)
4. Nutritional diseases (ex: deficiency syndromes)
5. Co-existing organisms (biological entities)
6. A combination of a few or all factors indicated above.
General methods to detect the health of fish in field conditions:
Visual examination is one of the quickest and least costly and requires a well-trained eye. But it need not be highly reliable. Some of the quick indicators are given below:
External: Reflexes – In healthy fishes, reflexes will be quick such as: Escape reflex, Eye reflex and Tail reflex.
The other types of symptoms may be sluggish behavior, twirling, spiral or erratic movements, faded or darkened pigmentation, exophthalmus or ‘pop eye’ condition, hemorrhages, Erosion of jaw or mouth Gill parasites, gill erosions, white nodules, tailor fin rot, distended abdomen (Dropsy), protruded anus (vent), blood oozing Ulcers/boils (furuncles), external parasites Cotton wool like growth.
Internal: Gas, filled hollows, ascitic fluid in the abdominal cavity, hemorrhages in the muscle wall/air bladder/ internal organs, liquid in the air bladder, White nodules in internal organs, swelling of organs (Kidneys, liver etc.)
- Microscopic and Histologic examination: Impression smear or wet mount preparation can be examined using a light microscope. This is a rapid and inexpensive diagnostic tool. This method is good for observing motile bacteria and protozoa. More specific information can also be obtained from histological method when special stains are applied to the tissue sections. But it is slow and expensive. It also requires a trained technician, and some times fails to yield a definitive diagnosis.
- Bacterial isolation: A sample is taken and either streaked on agar – based medium or introduced into a liquid broth containing a mixture of specially designed ingredients. Some media are also designed to allow the selective growth of certain bacteria from a potential mixture of pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria. General morphologic classification of the bacteria can be made based on the colony size, shape, color and smell. For more exact identification, biochemical characterization is often used. In this, a single purified colony is assayed for its ability to metabolize a variety of different minerals, chemicals and food sources. This is a very specific diagnostic method. However, it requires days or even weeks obtaining the results, and not all bacteria will grow on defined medium.
- Tissue culture: As viruses cannot grow or multiply unless they are within living cells, cell cultures allow the diagnostician to grow many types of viruses in the laboratory. A sample is homogenized and added to the cells in the tissue culture flask. If virus is present in the sample, it causes the Cytopathic Effect (CPE). However, cell cultures have been developed only for some fish, but not for shellfish. Rapid diagnostic tests for detecting fish pathogens: In order to prevent outbreaks, minimize the presence of pathogens and to reduce the use of antimicrobial compounds, rapid detection of pathogen is essential.
They are further advantageous since the tests are:
a. speedy, sensitive and accurate,
b. presumptive and/or confirmatory,
c. be micro-modified for inexpensive handling of large number of individuals and small volume samples,
d. require non-destructive samples,
e. yield qualitative and quantitative results.
The results obtained from such tests can be correlated with the other clinical symptoms of the fish. Some of the important rapid diagnostic tests are given below:
1. Immuno-diagnostic assays such as Monoclonal & Polyclonal antibody assays.
2. Direct fluorescent antibody test (d-fat)
3. Enzyme immuno assays (EIAs) or ELISA
4. Dot immunobinding assay
5. Western Blotting technique
6. The Latex agglutination assay
7. DNA – based diagnostic tests
8. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests.

If you thought I had anything better to do than sit around and watch Netflix, I’m about to dash that dream for you. I’ve made somewhat of a hobby out of giving my unwanted opinion on television series, so I figure I’d better put all that binge-watching sessions to good use and list the best, the worst, and the sorta-okay-ish shows I’ve watched this year.
BoJack Horseman: What’s there to say that hasn’t already been said? I’ve written about BoJack before, and season 4 went above and beyond my expectations. I’m a fan of any show that can take an otherwise hateful character and, in the space of a single episode, win them all the audience’s sympathies. “Time’s Arrow” does exactly that. Remember when I said I never thought I’d cry so hard over a cartoon horse who can’t seem to stop ruining his own life? Well, I REALLY never thought I’d cry so hard over a cartoon horse’s manipulative, geriatric mother.
Stranger Things: No explanation needed.
The Keepers: I’m an unabashed fan of true crime documentaries, podcasts, etc., but this was something else. The Keepers revolves around the unsolved 1969 murder of young nun and beloved schoolteacher Sister Cathy Cesnik, as investigated by her former students, a duo of shrewd, whip-smart grandmothers. As they dig, they unearth a child sexual abuse scandal that goes as deep at the Archdiocese of the Catholic Church, a corrupt priest, and a mass cover-up of a brutal murder. What did Sister Cathy know? Did she suspect the abuse at the school? Was she killed because the knew too much? Part whodunit, part survivor’s anthem, part exposure of the most corrupt vestiges of the Catholic Church. Simultaneously suspenseful, heartbreaking, and infuriating. (Why yes, I DO have a very detailed theory on #WhoKilledSisterCathy, thanks for asking).
American Vandal: An unexpected treasure that reinvented the “sleeper hit.” Who would have guessed that a mockumentary about penis graffiti would turn out to be a genuinely funny and poignant satire of crime documentary culture? It strikes that elusive note of being funny without being obnoxious, while still making some strong points about journalistic ethics, privacy, and misinformation in the digital age. Netflix mocks its own hits, such as Making A Murderer, and America’s crime obsession as a whole, while simultaneously using every trope to perfection. I watched it all in one sitting, desperate to find out #WhoDrewThe Dicks. American Vandal is a phony whodunit at a SoCal high school in which the prime suspect is a stereotypical stoner- so why does it feel like new evidence in the JonBenet Ramsey case? Additionally, it was touching to me personally to watch Jimmy Tatro, who I watched rise to fame on YouTube years ago, make his Netflix debut at his deadpan comic best.
The Good Place: A true original. The premise is new, the characters compelling, and the writing surprisingly sharp. I have yet to find a person alive who doesn’t adore Kristen Bell, who I’m 99% sure sweats pink lemonade.
Big Little Lies: THE CAST ALONE CAN DO NO WRONG. I never appreciated Reese Witherspoon as a dramatic actress before. Laura Dern is unstoppable, Nicole Kidman is (as always) understated and brilliant. I was 14 when the world was introduced to teenage Shailene Woodley during Secret Life of The American Teenager‘s 2008 premiere, and it’s been a joy to watch her grow as an actress. Big Little Lies had it all: drama, mystery, a classic Desperate Housewives-esque cattiness, and a gorgeous Monterey Bay backdrop. Beautifully written, beautifully acted.
Riverdale: I’m almost tempted to call it Pretty Little Liars’ successor. In many ways, it’s pure guilty pleasure fodder: the characters are cheesy but irresistibly magnetic, the story overdramatic but fun. It takes all the best, most beloved elements of teen dramas and somehow manages to make them feel as intoxicating and richly sweet as the Blossom family’s maple syrup.
Bad Not Terrible, But Not Great Either:
I’m not going to say a specific show was “bad,” but both 2017 and 2016 brought one singular, overarching trend: a flurry of revivals (Fuller House, Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life, Twin Peaks, etc). Allow me to die on this exceptionally trivial hill: can we please leave these shows as the beloved relics they are? Why the sudden need to dig up the time capsule and re-animate its contents to suit a decade that they weren’t meant to exist in? Reboots are rarely better than the original, so why beat a dead horse?
Big Mouth:I’m suspending judgement on Big Mouth. I wanted to like it more than I did. It was corny and relatable, but it lacked… something. Call me old-fashioned, but a cartoon 12-year-old impregnating a pillow might be a bridge too far.
Anne With an E:I found Anne With an E somewhat lackluster, but it was still enjoyable on a certain level. We’ll see about season 2.
Shameless: There are few things that bother me more than dragging on a beloved show so far past its peak that it becomes a parody of itself. It pains me to say this, but it’s honestly time for Shameless to conclude. I love the show, which is why I would prefer it to bow out gracefully, rather than continue recycling content and declining in quality until it’s cancelled.
13 Reasons Why: The one that’s burning a hole in our collective psyche. Based upon Jay Asher’s book of the same name, 13 Reasons Why was controversial, to say the least. From April-July, you couldn’t scroll for longer than 5 seconds without finding an article either praising it or screeching for its removal. Its main criticism was that it glorified suicide, which ended up opening a mass discussion on mental health. “Did ’13 Reasons Why’ Spark a Suicide Contagion Effect?” screams The Atlantic. One man even threatened to sue the producers after his daughter took her own life. As a person with depression, I don’t agree that it’s as dangerous as it’s been made out to be. However, I went into it knowing what was going to happen (spoiler alert: the main girl kills herself). I had read the book when I was younger, and genuinely enjoyed watching it play out on screen. It was clear from the beginning that the show was about suicide. If you feel as though you may be triggered, DON’T WATCH IT.
Disjointed: If there was one show I tried to watch this year that was truly, abysmally awful, it was Netflix’s Disjointed. If even Kathy Bates can’t make your show watchable, you’ve royally fucked up. I made it through exactly 20 minutes.

Ghana Premier League giant Accra Hearts of Oak SC recorded their second win of the season in Cape Coast stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Starman Daniel Afriyie Barnieh scored from the spot in the 31st minute to give the Phobians all three points.
Barnieh has become one of Ghana’s best penalty-takers and was inevitable when he stepped up to take this one after being fouled by Royals goalkeeper Clinton Quaye.
His spot kick was all they needed to win all three points at stake and take all three points on the road for the first time this season.
This is Hearts second in two games for new coach Matic, who was appointed after Samuel Boadu was fired due to the club’s poor start.
Matic has begun to produce good results, and fans will be hoping that he continues to do so as they aim for their second league title in three seasons.

Magnum Applications: Ramshot Magnum Powder is particularly suitable for a variety of magnum rifle cartridges, such as .300 Winchester Magnum, .338 Lapua Magnum, .7mm Remington Magnum, and many others. It is designed to deliver excellent performance in terms of velocity, energy, and downrange accuracy for magnum caliber rifles.
4. Versatility: While Ramshot Magnum is popularly used in magnum cartridges, it can also be utilized in non-magnum applications where slower burn rates are desired. It can provide consistent velocities and performance in other large-capacity rifle cartridges as well.
5. Temperature Stability: Ramshot powders, including Magnum, are formulated to be temperature stable. This means that the powder’s performance remains relatively consistent across a range of temperatures, ensuring reliable ballistics and shot-to-shot consistency even in varying environmental conditions.
6. Load Data: It is crucial to consult reliable reloading manuals and official load data specific to Ramshot Magnum when reloading. These resources provide detailed information on recommended powder charges, bullet weights, overall cartridge lengths, and other pertinent data to ensure safe and accurate reloading.
7. Availability: The availability of Ramshot Magnum powder may vary depending on your location and current market conditions. It is advisable to check with local firearm stores, reloading supply shops, or online retailers for its availability.
As always, it is important to follow safe reloading practices, including using appropriate safety equipment, following established reloading procedures, and starting with conservative powder charges while working up to desired performance levels. Reloading manuals and manufacturer guidelines should be consulted for specific load data and safety information.

CBD is a chemical found in marijuana. CBD doesn't contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana that produces a high. The usual CBD formulation is oil, but CBD is also sold as an extract, a vaporized liquid and an oil-based capsule. Food, drinks and beauty products are among the many CBD-infused products available online.
Before using CBD for weight loss, it is vital to ensure that you are using a quality product, as this has a significant impact on how much it can aid you in losing weight and maintaining what you lose. A company using domestically sourced organic hemp that has been grown in clean soil is your best choice. You also want to make sure third-party lab testing is done on a regular basis and that the extraction methods used in the manufacturing process are clean and solvent-free.
Moreover, the inconsistency (to put it mildly) of the weight loss “industry” is probably more sketchy and less regulated than the current state of the cannabis industry. Google ‘weight loss scams,’ for instance, and you get 5.76 million search results! There have been some shocking scams over the years, including vibration machines, weight loss pills (containing poisons such as arsenic), and ‘Vision-Dieter Glasses,’ just to name a few.
I use this for my anxiety and for my arthritis. The topical works great for my chronic neck pain. The best way to go is to get your own raw, tested material and use it in whatever form you like. It’s quite easy to make your own extract. This has worked better for me, rather than relying on a purchased, untested product – where some seem to work and others are a waste. But even with those that work, of course the cost is ridiculous and not affordable, thanks to all these corporate-pleasing laws in place, not there for the people – don’t delude yourselves.

People who experience psychosis may produce too much or even too little cannabinoids (from overactive dopamine receptors). CBD is milder than our internal cannabinoids and helps to re-establish a balance of cannabinoids in the brain. CBD also helps lower inflammation, which is often increased in schizophrenia. THC, on the other hand, is stronger than our internal cannabinoids (anandamide and 2-AG), this way potentially triggering psychosis [46, 48].
Furthermore, a study published in the Journal of Neuroendocrinology has suggested that the ECS is capable of stimulating specific areas of the body involved in metabolism, such as the skeletal muscles and GI tract. This happens due to the presence of anandamide and 2-AG, which are two naturally-occurring compounds in the body that interact with the CB1 and CB2 receptors.
You’ve most likely heard of CBD. It is becoming an increasingly popular choice for an array of health complaints and conditions. It is one of 104 cannabinoids, which are specific chemical compounds found in the Cannabis sativa plant. Unlike its sister cannabinoid, THC, CBD provides all the benefits of Cannabis without the psychoactive effects. In other words, it won’t make you high. While many full-spectrum CBD oils contain trace amounts of THC, the amount is negligible and has no noticeable effects.
There are numerous wonderful resources on (but not restricted to) the web regarding CBD, the major phytocannabinoid which has added a whole extra dimension to cannabis-related studies, medication, and dietary supplementation. On the other hand, as is often the case with a novel matter, there is also a great deal of misinformation regarding its benefits.
Generally speaking, ingesting CBD oils using a dropper is typically the easiest way to stay in control of exactly how much you are taking. Plus, pure CBD oil will not contain additives that come with side effects. Remember, when you are using CBD oil or any kind of cannabis product, you must read the product label to determine the best dose for you.
'If you have a health condition, or are taking any prescribed or over-the-counter medicines, always check with your doctor or a pharmacist for possible drug supplement interactions before taking CBD,' says Dr Brewer. 'This is because CBD interacts with enzymes involved in metabolising some medicines and may result in increased drug levels that could cause side effects.
The CB1 receptors are mostly present in the brain, but some are located throughout your body. These receptors deal with movement and coordination, emotions, thinking, memories, pain, mood, appetite, and other function. The CB2 receptors are mostly in the immune system. They affect pain and inflammation. CBD works in two ways. It attaches itself to these receptors while stimulating the body to produce more cannabinoids on its own naturally. Amazingly, CBD assists the body in learning to heal itself.
Thanks to research and modern technology the cannabis plant is now being processed in numerous ways to help patients from across the world. Patients are able to benefit of it’s cannabinoids CBD and THC in the form of oils. One of those ways is in the form of CBD Oil. To create CBD oil, solvents, such as CO2 are used to separate the cannabinoids (in the form of oils) from the plant material, creating the highly concentrated product.
Under federal law, cannabis (from which both CBD and marijuana are derived) is illegal everywhere, although the laws against it aren’t generally enforced in states that have legalized marijuana. Some manufacturers claim that CBD culled from legally imported industrial hemp, which has little to no THC, is fine to ship across the U.S., but many experts disagree, noting that because hemp comes from the same species as marijuana, cannabis sativa, all CBD falls under the DEA’s Schedule 1 designation. “This creative interpretation of the law runs afoul of reality,” says the Brookings Institution, a Washington, DC, think tank.
But it also requires careful research before making a purchase. Because the cannabis plant readily absorbs pesticides, heavy metals and other chemicals that are in the soil and water, it’s so important that cannabis plants are frequently tested while they are growing. And it’s up to manufactures to test CBD products, too. When you are shopping for CBD oil, look for products that have been tested for contaminants and for CBD vs. THC levels.
This is why Amanda Oliver, 31, a career consultant in Charleston, SC, pops a CBD gummy bear each night before bed. “I used to lie there tossing and turning as my mind raced from work projects to whether I had set the home alarm,” Oliver says. One piece of candy with 15 milligrams (mg) of CBD is enough to shut off her brain and facilitate sleep. She also swears by the CBD oil she takes at the height of her period, which she says quells her debilitating cramps.
I have been sick with type 2 diebetic problems since 1997 and I just started to use cbd oil in a vape pen in 2018 I found that it really works well for controlling severe foot nerve pain and I can stop with the symbalta for nerve pain that has very bad side effects on me I also have hart problems with 2 stents put in I don’t know yet what will happen with the hart issues but waiting to see I do know I have been a calmer person not as aggressive like I used to be with less stress and pain and hyper aggressive violent attitude has went way down which was one of the symbalta side affects since I’m not depressed which what symbalta was made for but works also for nerve pain for diebetics but for me has reversed affects and makes me depressed and bad tude so all in all I’m sticking with the cbd oil I don’t know about future affects from use but like everything else theres al ways some kind of affect but I’m thinking this way is still better than hands full of pills every day that damage your liver and kidneys I’m not saying to stop your meds just the few that become not needed and replaced by the oil still have to take my shots to control sugar maybe one day big pharma will let the cure out but I will not hold my breath on that one haha so far so good have to see what the future brings take care all and do your research john
It’s believed that while CBD helps activate and regulate the body’s endocannabinoid system, it also helps regulate the neural pathways that are responsible for withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings. In early rat trials, those treated with CBD were less likely to exhibit anxiety-related withdrawal symptoms and drug-seeking behaviors after being exposed to cocaine. (40)
This isn’t new but had to be mentioned. One of the major and well-known benefits of cannabis is its ability to treat pain and helping with pain management. It has the capabilities of assisting with chronic pain as well as inflammation. Furthermore, it has been found to help patients deal with severe rheumatism and arthritis as well as other chronic pains.
Traditionally, tinctures used alcohol to extract cannabidiol. Today, however, different extraction methods may be used to provide you with a clean tincture. When people refer to the tinctures now, they normally are referring to the hemp extract mixed together with a carrier oil as a nutritional supplement that doesn’t contain alcohol. A tincture or oil generally refers to the same product derived from hemp. If you want to make certain, you can ask for an ingredient list from the manufacturer of your supplement.
It is thought that by applying the correct amount of cannabis, the cannabinoids can help with the promotion of lipids which help fight chronic skin conditions including acne and psoriasis. Some also claim that cannabis oil has the power to remove wrinkles and skin spots. While we wouldn’t bank on it being the “anti-aging” miracle, it is helping millions of people worldwide deal with a variety of skin diseases including eczema and rosacea.
I have read about studies from Europe (not very specific I know) that suggest CBD might work better for some people if combined with some level of THC. Also, the getting high part can be helpful, although not for everybody, of course. A second point – I don’t hear very much about CBD eliminating or almost eliminating pain for people with severe pain. Helpful, but, so far at least, it doesn’t seem that CBDs can replace opioids or substantially reduce pain for all chronic pain patients. Maybe someday.
The reason so many people are interested in cannabis products that don’t make them high, proponents say, is that CBD helps with everything from pain and nausea to rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, Crohn’s disease, and dementia. CBD is anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, antibacterial, immunosuppressive, and more, says Joseph Cohen, DO, a cannabis doctor in Boulder, CO.
It also plays a significant role when it comes to treating some of the skin conditions you are experiencing. There are products that contain CBD oil which can be applied to your skin directly. Using it will help get rid of diseases like acne, eczema and dark spots on your skin. Just like any other CBD product, you should use it in the right amounts.
CBD hemp oil is the product derived from the hemp plant, which is high in CBD (cannabidiol) and low in THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). This oil has received a large amount of attention in recent years, due to the growing wave of marijuana legislation and debate in many countries, including the United States. While cannabis and smoking marijuana (which often has a high level of the psychotropic compound THC) is still illegal in many places, as more is being learned about CBD, and its potential effects on health, it is becoming more and more accepted as a legal and safe remedy for a wide variety of health conditions. Since it has a minimal amount of the psychotropic compound THC, use of this oil does not result in a traditional “high”, so its effects are generally considered therapeutic, not mind-altering.
There are more than 80 cannabinoids found in cannabis plants, with THC being the primary one, followed by CBD. However, in the hemp plant, which is a different strain of the species Cannabis sativa, CBD is the main active ingredient, and THC is barely present, making its use and legality more widespread. The reason that CBD is such an effective form of support for human health is due to the body’s endogenous cannabinoid system. This regulatory structure of the body has millions of cannabinoid receptors in the brain and nervous system, which react not only to plant-derived cannabinoids (such as hemp and marijuana) but also to natural cannabinoids produced within our body. When hemp oil is used and processed by the body, it is effectively boosting the function of the endocannabinoid system, helping our body regulate itself in many different ways.
A study highlighting this was performed approximately one decade ago. The study found a link between IBS sufferers and clinical endocannabinoid deficiency, which relates back to the fact that the system directly impacts intestinal motility and function. When CBD was used to activate and regulate the endocannabinoid system, sufferers of IBS saw significant symptom improvement. (42)

How to Tell What Fruit I Have on My Tree
Identifying fruit when it's on the tree can be done with four out of your five, informed senses of touch, smell, sight, and taste. Fruits may not look exactly like they do in the supermarket when they're hanging on the tree, but it can be done. Most tree fruits can be divided into three categories: pome fruits, stone fruits and citrus fruits. Learn the characteristics of these three types and you'll be well on the way to identifying the fruit on your trees.
Keep an eye on the fruit as it develops. Most will start out small and green, changing color as they grow. For example, lemons and grapefruit will turn yellow, while lime and avocados remain green. Crabapples will stay small, while other varieties of apple become large and red, green or yellow.

- Crabapples will stay small, while other varieties of apple become large and red, green or yellow.
Feel the skin of the fruit. Apples, plums, tangerines and pears have thin skins that can be nicked with a fingernail. Peaches and apricots tend to feel fuzzy. Citrus fruits like lemon, lime and grapefruit have thick rinds that ooze oils when pressed.
Cut the fruit through its middle with a sharp knife. Stone fruits like avocado, plum, cherry and peach have a single seed, or pit, at their center. Citrus fruits like lemon, orange and lime have sections that can be peeled apart. Each section has seeds in the middle. Pome fruits like apples and pears have seeds in a core at the center, surrounded by flesh..

- Apples, plums, tangerines and pears have thin skins that can be nicked with a fingernail.
Taste and smell the fruit. Citrus has a tangy, acid or sour taste and smell. Pome fruits are smooth-textured, though they can be sour or sweet. Stone fruits are sweet and juicy, with the possible exception of sour cherries, which can be quite tart.
Determine the exact variety of fruit by matching the fruit's characteristics to descriptions in a field guide for fruit identification. Apples for example, come in so many different varieties that you may need a book to help determine whether it's a Jonagold, Granny Smith, McIntosh or Red Delicious.

MarginEdge raises $4 million in funding to to eliminate paperwork and streamline operations for restaurants
MarginEdge, a Fairfax, Virginia-based tech startup and a provider of restaurant management platform, announced today that it has secured $4 million in new funding to assist restaurants with financial and operations management using its smart technology. The round was led by Osage Venture Partners with a new investment from Relish Works, the innovation hub for Gordon Food Service – the largest family-operated broad-line food distributor in North America. To date, MarginEdge has raised a total of over $15 million in funding.
Founded in 2015 by real-life restaurateurs Bo Davis, Roy Phillips, Michael Spitalney, and Sam Leiber, MarginEdge’s mission is to create a world where restaurateurs focus on the business they love. By using best-in-class technology to eliminate unproductive paperwork and streamline the flow of operational data. Every member of the MarginEdge business development team has owned, managed, or been an executive chef of a high-volume restaurant.
Two of the founders, Bo and Roy, have more than 40 combined years of restaurant experience and built and operated over 25 restaurants around the US. Bo is the founder of Wasabi restaurants, a group of modern Japanese conveyor belt sushi restaurants, while Roy was a Joint Venture Partner within Bloomin’ Brands, most recently building and operating 15 Bonefish Grill locations. Though they had very different operating backgrounds, both struggled with the same frustrating invoice flow, inventory and recipe updating, unpredictable P&L timing, and unending administrative details.
For the past six years, MarginEdge has provided smart technology to assist restaurants with financial and operations management. Founded and operated by restaurateurs, MarginEdge’s leading technology eliminates unnecessary paperwork, increases efficiencies, and streamlines back-office operations. Through real-time data analysis, MarginEdge’s platform allows restaurants to accurately look at up-to-the-minute costs, revenue streams, and other metrics to assist with growth-driven decision making. Today, MarginEdge services over 1,500 independent restaurant clients in 37 states.
“Our team is committed to investing in technology to help operators in this challenging environment. We see ourselves as a partner in their business and our success is only possible if the operators are successful. This investment and partnership is not only linked to our excitement for the MarginEdge product but the impact we think it can have on our customers and the industry at large,” said Rich Wolowski, CEO of Gordon Food Service.
As a testament to their product and impact, MarginEdge has recovered to pre-pandemic growth. With over 1,500 clients, well over 2 million invoices processed, and $2.5 billion in annual sales from their clients, MarginEdge continues to make its mark in the restaurant tech space.
“As restaurant owners ourselves we viscerally understand the pain of the Covid pandemic. Putting real-time data in the hands of operators has always been important, and central to what we do. Now more than ever restaurants are looking for ways to plan, implement, and measure changes in their businesses at the moment, not two weeks after the period ends. From understanding food costs with changing supply chain dynamics to measuring menu costs and new customer preferences, daily – we help our clients do more with less, which is unfortunately what most in our industry are faced with right now. I feel excited for our future and deeply grateful that our service can be a part of the rebuilding,” says Bo Davis, MarginEdge CEO and founder.


A diverse coalition of more than 40 organizations and individuals are calling on Hawaii Gov. David Ige, the four county mayors and state legislators to be more transparent as they struggle to contain the growing coronavirus pandemic.
Common Cause Hawaii spearheaded the effort in response to Ige’s March 16 emergency proclamation that effectively suspended the state’s open meetings and public records laws until May 15, and possibly beyond.
In a letter Tuesday, the groups asked that officials continue to keep government meetings open to the public even if it is via remote access.
Hawaii Gov. David Ige’s suspension of the state’s open meetings and public records law is the most extreme anti-transparency measures taken by any governor in the U.S.
Cory Lum/Civil Beat
“The public needs to be able to participate in government in order for democracy to continue to function,” the letter states. “Government transparency and support of the public’s right to know are more, not less, critical during emergency situations.”
Among those signing the letter are the ACLU of Hawaii, Civil Beat Law Center for the Public Interest, Hawaii Appleseed Center for Law and Economic Justice, the Chinatown Gateway Plaza and Breastfeeding Hawaii.
Other groups include AF3IRM Hawaii, the Grassroots Institute, the Hawaii Alliance for Progressive Action, the Libertarian Party of Hawaii and the state chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.
Ige’s decision to completely suspend the state’s open meetings and public records law has been roundly criticized in Hawaii and throughout the U.S. It is considered the most extreme anti-transparency measure taken by any governor since the coronavirus outbreak began.

Transportation energy use refers to the end use energy consumed by all components in the transportation sector – the production, operation, and decommissioning of all vehicles and infrastructure. This contributes to a sector’s total final consumption, which is a measure of all the energy they are consuming.
Transportation can use energy in many different ways; most dominantly running cars and other vehicles by burning fuel, but also in the production of the vehicles themselves, and the creation of roads, airports, sea ports, and pipelines.
A large portion of fuel used for transportation comes from fossil fuels. This is concerning due to its contribution to pollution and global warming from using them. The transportation sector has the fastest growing carbon emissions of any sector, with approx 67 million new cars being produced each year. Although improving fuel economy and the use of “greener” vehicles (ex. hybrid cars and electric vehicles) can reduce CO2 emissions, these vehicles still have associated emissions due their production and the electricity used to fuel them (green electricity).
Sustainable transport is key to a green energy transition, seeing that it is an area that represents a large part of the total consumption of fossil energy. The transport system in a country is depending on climate, demography, economy, topography, culture, gender, health, and a number of other factors. Understanding how peoples’ everyday lives are organised and which possibilities a transition to more sustainable modes of transport can represent is central in the green shift.


2/27/22 - You Don’t Have to Pay the A**hole Tax: How to Avoid Working for a Bad Boss
Until about five years ago it never occurred to me to check out who my potential new boss would be when looking for a job. I had always focused on the job itself versus worrying about who I would be working for.
Early in my career, I was often so thrilled to have an offer in an industry (print journalism) struggling to find its feet and remain relevant alongside the rise of online publishing and social media that I didn’t mull over the real-world ramifications of working for a bad boss.
This led to me leaving more than one role in search of a better working environment.
Eventually, before I joined Radical Candor, I found myself up for a dream editorial position at a start-up and I was fairly certain they were going to offer me the job.
There was only one problem — I had a pit in my stomach about accepting what seemed to be, by all accounts, a #careergoals opportunity.
Why was the idea of taking this leap making me feel so uneasy? It was more money; there were benefits; I would have an incredible amount of autonomy; and the tools to establish a strong voice in a divisive media landscape.
As it turned out, my gut was trying to tell me to scratch beneath the surface and I needed to listen.
Listen to Your Gut to Avoid a Bad Boss
“If you are not dying to work for this person, don’t take the job. Trust your gut,” Radical Candor author and co-founder Kim Scott advises.
“If you’re not sure what you think of them, start by making a list of pros and cons. Keep wrestling with it until you get to what is for you the determinative factor. For me, it’s can this person help me take a step in the direction of my dreams, or will they trip me up?”
After a day of walking around feeling slightly sick about taking this new gig for reasons I couldn’t identify — this was more than jitters about taking on an exciting new role — I decided to listen to my gut and do a little research.
I googled the name of the person to whom I would report in this new role and found an archive of abhorrent tweets and other questionable online behavior that immediately made it clear to me there was no way I could accept the job.
I promptly emailed this person and asked them to withdraw my name from consideration.
When they asked why I used the principles of Radical Candor — Caring Personally and Challenging Directly — to tell them that while I was thrilled to be among their top picks for such an exciting position and their mission statement aligned with my values, morally and ethically I couldn’t attach my name to someone who displayed the type of behavior reflected in what I’d found on Twitter.
(Remember folks, tweets are forever — even if you delete them there are usually screenshots floating around.)
They thanked me for my honesty and I felt a huge sense of relief after taking myself out of the running. I’d been saved from months of mental, emotional and financial upheaval by trusting my gut instead of ignoring my instincts and having to leave once I was already working for the organization.
Because — you guessed it — bad bosses are the number reason people leave their jobs.
Bad Bosses Are the No. 1 Reason People Leave Jobs
According to a new survey titled Horrible Bosses: A Survey of the American Workforce from GoodHire, 82% of people surveyed across 10 industries said they would quit their job due to a bad manager.
Most respondents defined a bad boss as someone who is “overbearing and micromanages, as well as a manager who expects them to work outside of working hours.” What people most desire in a boss is an honest and authentic manager.
What’s more, “Only 32% of all American workers surveyed believe that management really cares about their career progression,” the survey notes. “Without a manager who cares, who communicates and who motivates, employees will continue to look for what’s next and for what’s better for them.”
Obviously, it’s preferable to avoid working for a bad boss in the first place versus having to leave an organization and look for a new job. What could I have done in the interview process to be more proactive about avoiding working for a bad boss?
According to Kim in an episode of the Radical Candor podcast, there are some questions you can ask your potential employer to get a better read about whether you’re going to love working for them or it’s going to be your worst nightmare.
Avoid a Bad Boss by Asking These Questions
You want a boss who is respectful of the people who work for them, not a boss who tries to lord power over their employees or who thinks the job is a value judgment rather than a responsibility they’ll be held accountable for. Ask your potential new boss:
What is your management philosophy?
A lot of bosses won’t be able to articulate exactly what a boss does. “It took me a long time to figure this out when I was writing Radical Candor — bosses get and give feedback from and to their o teams, in order to achieve results,” Kim says. “But you want them to have some idea of what their responsibilities as a boss are.”
Dig into the details here. If someone says something that sounds buzzwordy or you’re not sure what it means, ask them for a specific example of what they mean.
Beware of absentee and micromanaging philosophies.
You want a boss who solicits feedback and then responds well to it — who has a growth mindset.
Ask your prospective boss about a failure. Who told them they were failing, and what did they learn from the experience? If they tell you about a time when one of their employees told them they were screwing up and they responded well, that’s a really good sign.
Ask your prospective boss how they like to receive feedback. (Your real question here is, “Will you take feedback if I give it to you?”)
Try giving your prospective boss feedback about something you observed during the interview process, and notice how they respond.
Reference Check Your Future Boss
You already know your boss is checking your references. What you might not be aware of is that you have every right to check their references, too. And asking the above questions wouldn’t have uncovered the tweets I found. This is where, if you’re still unsure, you need to go a step further.
In a column for Harvard Business Review, David Galloreese, who leads people and culture at Medallia, writes that it’s an accepted and perfect legitimate practice to reference check your boss.
“You can ask other interviewers what it’s like to work with that person. You can use LinkedIn to find your potential boss’s former direct reports or business partners and reach out for their thoughts,” Galloreese advises.
“Social media can help you identify shared connections and point you to who can give you insights. Through both digital and analog means, you can also find out if he or she is in any clubs, associations, or alumni groups where you have contacts and can seek information,”
If you’re worried about the broader company culture — we all know your boss’s boss could be a bad boss — make sure your new boss acts as a buffer instead of a screen.
“It’s true that your boss’s boss can have a huge impact on how your boss behaves. But I’ve worked for some people who were incredible shit umbrellas — who shielded me from toxicity they were experiencing,” Kim says.
“Others, however, are like shit funnels… If you are worried about the broader culture, make sure you’re working for a shit umbrella and not a shit funnel.”
Overall, don’t ignore red flags during the hiring process that will likely be much more difficult to dismiss once you start working there — you don’t have to pay the a**hole tax.

Most of the time my breakfasts consist of meat and veggies, but every once in awhile I like something a little different. These Powdered Chocolate Donut Holes really hit the spot! I wanted to make them using coconut flour because lately I have been going overboard with the nuts (almond flour, almond butter, macadamia nuts, etc.). Consuming too many nuts can throw off your Omega 3: Omega 6 ratio, since nuts usually have more Omega 6’s in them which means that they can be inflammatory. When I start to feel extra inflammation, nuts and dairy are the first things I cut back on (since I already avoid grains, vegetable oils, etc.) and this helps me reduce the inflammation.
When using coconut flour not all brands behave the same way. I use Let’s Do Organic, but if you find your dough is a little dry then you can trying adding a little bit of liquid (eggs, coconut milk, butter, coconut oil, etc.) to help bring the dough together. Hope that helps!
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 3 Tbsp organic cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup equivalent sweetener (Use Swerve for low carb or use honey for Paleo)
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
- 2 large pastured eggs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/3 cup Confectioner's Swerve or use powdered coconut sugar for Paleo
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Combine the coconut flour, cocoa powder, sweetener (if dry), baking soda, and salt
- Combine the eggs, honey (if using) and butter.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
- Scoop the dough (I used a small cookie scoop) onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet (makes 14 donut holes).
- Bake for 8-10 mins
- Allow to cool
- Place the Confectioner's Swerve or powdered coconut sugar into a plastic bag and add the donut holes and shake to coat
Net Carb Count*: 2.8 g net carbs for 3 donut holes (makes about 14 donut holes)
Total Carb Count: 6.4 g for 3 donut holes (plus the carbs for the sweetener)
*Note carb counts are estimated based on the products I used. Check nutrition labels for accurate carb counts and gluten information.

Doctor of the highest category Larisa Alekseeva has told in interview to "Evening Moscow", as weather-sensitive people to survive the extremes of weather.
Previously the scientific Director of the hydrometeorological Roman Vilfand said that in June the most part of territory of Russia the temperature will be near or above normal, the month will be heterogeneous, with waves of heat.

Tikka T3 Varmint .223 Rem – 1:10 twist???
I am new to the Tikka scene and just picked up a new Tikka T3 Varmint in .223 Remington. After a great deal of research I settled on the Tikka based on all the features and for the 1:8 twist barrel.
After picking up the Tikka, I noticed that the box says 10″ twist and the barrel is also stamped 10″. All the retailers that have specifications on the Varmint list it as a 8″ twist (even the retailer that I bought it from).
Do the .223 Varmint versions all come in 10″ twist now? I am kind of disappointed if that is the case, since I feel a bit misinformed and I was hoping to shoot with heavier bullets (75-80 grains).
Also, does anyone know what the heaviest bullets a 10″ twist will stabilize? I am using this primarily for paper punching out to 600 yards (my local range's max).
Thanks for the help!

Robert MacDermid, political science professor in York’s Faculty of Arts, says he is shocked at Municipal Affairs Minister Chris Hodgson’s decision to quit Premier Ernie Eves’s cabinet and not seek re-election, reports the Canadian Press in a wire story Jan. 8. “I’m immediately wondering why he’s going, he’s still a young man. I’m very surprised. It’s not a good sign for Mr. Eves…. [Hodgson] was the golden-haired boy of Mike Harris.”
Hard to sue politicians
Alberta Premier Ralph Klein has dropped a challenge in the Supreme Court of Canada over whether politicians can be personally sued for their policy decisions, reports Southam News Jan. 3. Patrick Monahan, professor at York’s Osgoode Hall Law School, believes former patients who blamed Klein’s aggressive hospital cuts for medical catastrophes, would have had a hard time convincing the Supreme Court to allow them to sue Klein and former Alberta health minister Shirley McClellan. “Generally, the courts have said they are not going to get involved in negligence actions over policy decisions,” said Monahan. “That’s what elections are for.”
Scaling back retirement goals
Newspapers across Canada have picked up a story on a bank survey that shows Canadians are cutting back on their retirement savings goals. The story, carried Jan. 8 in The Vancouver Sun and The Edmonton Journal, quotes Moshe Milevsky, finance professor at York’s Schulich School of Business, who says it is alarming that “investors are reducing their contributions to equity-based mutual funds at a time when market experience and conventional wisdom would dictate they shouldn’t.”
Communicating a sense of society
For a story Dec. 24 on how immigrants are publishing tabloids and communicating via the Internet, Globe and Mail reporter Jennifer Lewington talked to Prof. Michael Lanphier, deputy director of the Centre for Refugee Studies at York. “Canada wins both ways,” he said. “We gain experienced personnel who come here and we win because of their cultural richness.” Lewington added that earlier this year, Lanphier and 12 other researchers across Canada won a $563,000 grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada to examine the impact of globalization and new technology on multiculturalism. The three-year study will look at how Canadian values are being modified as newcomers, more able to maintain strong ties back home, also put down roots in Canada.
Ottawa likely to overturn pot ruling
“There’s no history and precedent to determine what courts should do when they feel Parliament responded inadequately to a declaration of invalidity,” said Alan Young, professor at Osgoode Hall Law School, in a story in The Windsor Star Jan. 4 on Ottawa’s appeal of a judge’s ruling that the law prohibiting marijuana possession is invalid. He predicts the judge’s ruling will be overturned.

WELLNESS--You’ve probably heard remarks like, “She could drink me under the table” or “He is a total lightweight.” Those comments, which come with (dubious) connotations of strength and weakness, are rooted in the concept of alcohol tolerance.
So what is alcohol tolerance? The term refers to the ability of some people to consume larger amounts of alcohol before feeling its effects than others, said Peter Martin, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
There are several reasons why this happens, and thus why it seems like some people can drink endlessly without a buzz and others feel tipsy on half a glass of wine.
Researchers have examined multiple factors to figure out why some people’s bodies appear to handle more alcohol better than others, Martin said.
Gender and body weight clearly influence how an individual tolerates alcohol. Men tend to be able to drink more than women before they appear drunk. Larger people may imbibe more than smaller people without immediate ill effects.
Other biological factors are a bit more complicated.
“Some think it relates to the enzymes involved in metabolizing the alcohol; others think there’s a varied effect on neurotransmission in the brain,” Martin said.
In the case of the neurotransmitters, the theory is that the brains of some people with high tolerance simply aren’t receiving signals saying, “Whoa there, you should probably stop drinking.”
As for the role of enzymes, “alcohol metabolism is a multi-step process,” explained Brad Uren, an assistant professor of emergency medicine at the University of Michigan health system, Michigan Medicine.
“Much of the alcohol processed in the body is initially metabolized by the enzyme ‘alcohol dehydrogenase’ to a compound called ‘acetaldehyde,’” he said. “Acetaldehyde is further metabolized by the enzyme ‘aldehyde dehydrogenase.’”
Some people are deficient in aldehyde dehydrogenase, which can lead to a buildup of acetaldehyde in the blood.
“This can lead to ‘flushing’ of the skin, and worsening or increased symptoms commonly associated with ‘hangover,’” Uren said. “Individuals of Asian descent are more likely to have this enzyme deficiency.”
Beyond that, our brains and bodies tend to adjust pretty quickly to heavy drinking.
The human body “has the ability to adapt to increased alcohol use,” Uren noted. “This can result in more rapid metabolism of alcohol.” And that, in turn, means those who drink alcohol more frequently “may also appear less intoxicated than others that have consumed a similar amount of alcohol.”
Higher tolerance is not necessarily a good thing.
The first problem with higher alcohol tolerance is that it can give a false impression of just how drunk someone really is. Although you might think someone seems OK to drive a car or ride a bike because they’re not stumbling or slurring their words ― and they might think so, too ― that is not a sound assumption. The amount of alcohol consumed still matters.
“It is not safe to assume that these individuals are better able to perform tasks that require concentration and reaction time, such as driving a vehicle, as if they had not consumed alcohol,” Uren said. The wiser choice is to take away the keys and call Uber.
It’s also not safe to assume that someone with high alcohol tolerance, who’s able to drink more without feeling drunk, is not going to see the long-term effects of excessive drinking.
They’re still at risk for complications related to “how much alcohol you’ve consumed in a lifetime,” Martin said. “These include cirrhosis of the liver, brain disease, neuropathy, pancreatitis, and gastritis or stomach cancer.”
Indeed, “people with a higher tolerance, who have that capacity to drink more, are more prone to develop alcoholism,” he said.
Relying on your tolerance is particularly dangerous in the summer.
You should be especially mindful of drinking levels during the warmer season, Uren stressed, when people often increase their alcohol consumption.
“Alcohol can lead to dehydration, and should not be used in place of water or other fluids when exercising or outside on very hot summer days,” he said.
Drinking also impairs coordination and judgment. That means you should “separate the use of alcohol from activities that require extra concentration or coordination,” Uren said ― like biking, climbing and a hundred other fun summer sports.
Remember that unsafe alcohol use is not defined by your tolerance but by how much you’ve had to drink.
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism defines binge drinking as “drinking so much within two hours as to raise the blood alcohol concentration to 0.08,” Uren said. “The average woman would likely reach this level with four standard drinks; men will typically reach this level after five standard drinks.”
One standard drink is about five ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits.
More broadly speaking, you should avoid risky or hazardous use of alcohol.
“For men under 65, drinking more than four drinks per day or 14 drinks in a week constitutes risky use,” Uren said. “For women, or men over 65, more than three drinks per day or seven drinks in a week is considered risky.”
And never, ever, try to keep up with the alcohol-tolerant Joneses.
“Being able to drink someone under the table is so commonly associated with strength, and there’s such a stigma to being a lightweight,” Martin said. But really, the “lightweights” are better off.

Apple’s Autonomous Vehicle Unit Now Led by AI Chief: Report
“The project, known as Titan, is run day-to-day by Doug Field. His team of hundreds of engineers have moved to Giannandrea’s artificial intelligence and machine-learning group, according to people familiar with the change,” reported Bloomberg on Tuesday.
With Apple’s former senior vice president of hardware engineering, Bob Mansfield, now retired from the company, it appears Field will now report to Giannandrea, who has taken over.
Giannandrea runs Apple’s Siri and machine-learning technologies and is now also in charge of the company’s autonomous driving efforts.
Apple’s car ambitions began in 2014, with a goal of creating a self-driving car, but efforts were scaled back in 2016, as the project hit speed bumps. That’s when Mansfield returned out of retirement and started to change the project’s goal to an autonomous system instead of self-driving car.
“In the past, the company has weighed launching its own car, building the self-driving system for an auto-manufacturing partner, or designing an after-market kit that works with multiple different cars, the people said,” reports Bloomberg.
As of 2019, Apple has 66 cars in its car testing fleet, according to data from the California DMV, an increase compared to 2018. When it came to autonomous test miles though, Apple decreased its numbers in 2019 versus the year prior.
It’s unclear when Apple will debut its self-driving car technology, and if it will be able to compete with Tesla and the latter’s Autopilot and Full-Self Driving capabilities.

 The invention relates to an arrangement and a method for optically testing surfaces for defects contained therein.
 Quality control plays an important role in the automatic fabrication of industrial parts, in particular of semiconductor products and, in particular, explained using the example of a semiconductor wafer. The surface of a wafer should be free from conchoidal fractures after a sawing process, and be free from particles, and linking units such as fuses should be intact. Devices or methods that can be integrated into the organization of the fabrication should be applied in the appropriate testing of the surface in order to detect defects.
 Depending of the size of a test object, and depending on the required resolution, a manual visual inspection with the aid of obliquely incident light and of a test object that executes wobbling movements can, for example, take place between individual method steps in the fabrication. Furthermore, an automatic inspection can be performed with the aid of a line scan camera by scanning once over the entire object. The number of pixels in the line and the width of the image dictate the pixel resolution per line unit. This is typically 40 μm.
 Automatic inspection in the case of a conventional scanning operation is also known. Here, the surface of the test object is scanned with the aid of a two-dimensionally resolving camera. Variations in the illumination permit resolutions at different levels. Inspection with the aid of laser scanning on the basis of different principles is a further method from the prior art. In this case, the laser beam mostly scans the object, object and laser beam moving at high speed relative to one another.
 The method from the prior art that is most promising for the automatic inspection of wafer surfaces is automatic inspection with the aid of a two-dimensionally resolving camera. However, manual visual inspection also continues to be applied.
 It is the object of the invention to make available a sufficiently fast and reliable arrangement for the fabrication, and a method for testing surfaces on test objects, it being possible at the same time to achieve a sufficiently high resolution.
 This object is achieved respectively by means of the subject matter of claim 1 and of claim 3.
 The invention is based on the finding that it is possible to inspect surfaces of a test object by using an arrangement in a measuring head comprising a one-dimensionally resolving line scan camera, an optical system and a lighting unit in conjunction with a highly resolving positioning system, the positioning system moving the test object relative to the measuring head with the line scan camera. It is particularly provided in that case that the camera, which produces an image strip in steps or continuously, is moved over the entire surface of the test object or of the prescribed regions thereof. The image line or the individual pixels of the image line can be read out serially or in parallel. To inspect the surface of the test object, the measuring head and test object are moved relative to one another in a meandering fashion so to give the selected surface is completely scanned. The image strips thus produced are evaluated online, or assembled to form an overall image and evaluated subsequently.
 It is particularly advantageous to use a microscope as the optical system. In conventional illumination, this permits defects to be found in the surface of an object to be represented with better resolution.
 A measuring head or a line scan camera with an objective or a microscope is moved relative to the surface of an object in order to fully examine a surface of the latter. This is performed by the lateral movement of an object that is fastened on a positioning system. With regard to the resolution, required for the inspection, on the image side is fulfilled by this positioning system via an appropriately fine rastering or determination of position in the lateral movement of the object. A relative path of movement between the line scan camera and object can preferably be meandering, spiral or circular. The spiral or circular relative movement is best suited to circular wafers. For the purpose of evaluating the overall object scene, the image strips detected sequentially and picked up by the line scan camera are parts of an overall image that is assembled in an evaluation unit. The evaluation of this image with regard to surface defects that occur can be performed simultaneously or later with the aid of prescribed categorization features.
 It is advantageous to have different types of illumination with regard to light field, dark field, or else transmitted light in order to manipulate surfaces reflecting in different ways, in particular specula surfaces.
 Exemplary embodiments are described below with the aid of schematics.
 In the drawing:
FIG. 1 shows a line scan camera that sequentially picks up a multiplicity of lines 5 on the object surface in the direction of movement 2 relative to the image strips 1 to be picked up overall,
FIG. 2 shows the structure of the overall image that is produced by meandering movement over the object surface in accordance with FIG. 1, and subsequent assembly of the image strips to form an overall image, and
FIG. 3 shows a currently picked up line 5 that sweeps over a ring on an object surface by being picked up sequentially.
 A substantial advantage in the use of a line scan camera for inspecting object surfaces resides in the simplified their illumination. In addition, it is possible in conjunction with the same resolution to analyze larger samples than in the case of using a two-dimensionally resolving camera. Larger strip widths are therefore available in order to accomplish an analysis of the surface of an object. For example, a segment with 1000×1000 pixels in conjunction with 8 k pixels×resolution per pixel is a possibility using a two-dimensionally resolving camera. In the case of a one-dimensionally resolving line scan camera that is moved transversely to the longitudinal extent of the line in conjunction with a highly resolving positioning system for an object, a resolution of 1 μm is possible, when a line with 8000 (8 k) pixels, for example, is used and the relative movement between the object and camera is 10 mm/sec. A further advantage consists in the continuous imaging. By contrast therewith, a two-dimensional camera requires a plurality of individual images overlapping in the edge region for the purpose of mutual orientation.
 The invention can be used, in particular, for all types of optical inspection on wafer surfaces.
 Use is made of a one-dimensionally resolving line scan camera having, for example, 4000 or 8000 pixels, a highly accurate positioning table, which can be positioned or sets an object position, a lighting unit, an optical system, in particular a microscope, that is positioned between the camera and object, and an image processor for storing the data picked up and for analyzing these image data. The analysis of the image data can be performed simultaneously (online) or subsequently. FIG. 1 shows how the surface to be inspected is picked up with the aid of the line scan camera 4 in a meandering fashion corresponding to the prescribed direction of movement 2. This can also be performed in circular fashion in accordance with FIG. 3, movement being performed over a plurality of circles of different radii. The object is moved precisely under the line scan camera with the aid of a positioning device during the scanning operation.
FIG. 1 shows that the camera 4 has a microscope, for example, arranged upstream and is currently picking up a line 5, and that an image strip 1 is picked up by aligning a multiplicity of lines 5 in steps or continuously. In this case, the width of a line 5 (longitudinal extent) extends in the x-direction, and the width of a line 5 extends in the y-direction (0 direction of movement). An image strip 1 is therefore reduced overall by aligning the lines 5.
FIG. 2 shows a surface that has already been scanned in at the start of the pick-up operation. The image strip 1 that is to be detected has been defined previously. The path of movement, that is to say the direction of movement 2, in which the image strips 1 are picked up is likewise fixed. The overall predetermined surface of an object can be detected thereby.
 During a scanning operation, the image strip position of the start of the strip is linked to the position of the positioning system. A mutual relative assignment of the image strips 1 is detected thereby. A further application provides that only half of a wafer is scanned in, and the wafer support (chuck), on which the wafer rests, is rotated by 180° before a second scanning operation. The entire wafer is thereby scanned overall with the aid of single-axis positioning.
 Illumination of the object surface can be a permanent illumination, but it is also possible to use flashes for specific requirements. The object is generally set rotating in order to constitute circular or annular scanning. The decision as to which type of illumination, bright field, dark field or transmitted light is used depends on the achievable contrast on the object surface. For example, if the aim during inspection is a resolution of 1 μm in conjunction with the imaging of the object on a semiconductor chip, the system could, for example, be operated at 10 MHz corresponding to 10 megapixels per second.
