Supplemental bacitracin reduces mortality, C. perfringens in broilers
Commercial broilers that received a bacitracin-supplemented diet had less Clostridium perfringens in their gut1, according to researchers at Ohio State University.
In their study, repeated with three flocks, the investigators evaluated the interaction between fresh versus reused litter and dietary bacitracin supplementation on the prevalence and load of Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp. — all foodborne enteric pathogens commonly associated with poultry. C. perfringens is also a cause of necrotic enteritis, a costly disease for the broiler industry.
Newly hatched chickens that had been vaccinated for coccidiosis were assigned to one of four treatment groups: fresh pine shavings and no dietary bacitracin, fresh litter and bacitracin at 0.04% of feed, reused litter and no dietary bacitracin or reused litter and 0.04% dietary bacitracin.
At 10 and 35 days of age, the researchers tested samples from the ileal mucosa, cecal content and litter using specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays. Campylobacter was not detected in the samples.
The amount of Salmonella was not affected by bacitracin, and reused litter did not contain significantly more C. perfringens or Salmonella. There was a correlation, however, between an abundance of Salmonella spp. and C. perfringens, report Shan Wei, PhD, and colleagues in Veterinary Microbiology.*

The influence of the axial relative motion between the target and the source on ghost imaging (GI) is investigated. Both the analytical and experimental results show that the transverse resolution of GI is reduced as the deviation of the target’s center position from the optical axis or the axial motion range increases. To overcome the motion blur, we propose a deblurring method based on speckle-resizing and speed retrieval, and we experimentally validate its effectiveness for an axially moving target with an unknown constant speed. The results demonstrated here will be very useful to forward-looking GI remote sensing.

Ghost imaging (GI), as a nonlocal imaging method, has theoretically and experimentally demonstrated that an unknown target can be reconstructed without scanning the target, when a single-pixel bucket detector is used to receive the target’s transmitted (or reflected) signals [1 –10]. This technique quickly aroused enormous interest in remote sensing, and factors affecting the imaging quality of GI, such as scattering and turbulence, have been widely investigated [11 –20]. Recently, super-resolution GI, three-dimensional GI lidar, and full-color GI can also be achieved [20 –23]. However, all previous works on GI have been concerned with static targets [11 –22]. In practical applications of remote sensing, imaging an unstable or moving target is much more meaningful because there is usually relative motion between the imaging system and the target.
There are two cases of relative motion between the imaging system and the target. One is in the tangential direction, and the other is in the axial direction. For the former, some theoretical and experimental results have shown that the tangential relative motion between the GI system and the target will cause the degradation of transverse resolution [24,25]. Based on the character of GI, some methods are invented to overcome the motion blur [26,27]. For the latter and its correspondence to forward-looking imaging in practice, there is no relevant discussion at present. According to the analytical results described in , the magnification of recovered images will vary with the axial distance between the source plane and the target plane when the reference path of the GI system is fixed. Therefore, the axial relative motion between the GI system and the target will also lead to the degradation of transverse resolution. In this work, the influence of axial motion on GI is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. To overcome the motion blur, a deblurring method for an axial moving target with an unknown constant speed is invented and its effectiveness is experimentally validated.
2. ANALYTICAL RESULTS
Figure 1 shows the experimental schematic of lensless pseudo-thermal light GI for an axially moving target. The pseudo-thermal light is obtained by passing a laser beam through a slowly rotating ground glass disk (the wavelength , and the light spot’s transverse size on the rotating ground glass disk plane). By using a beam splitter, the light is divided into a test and a reference path. In the reference path, the light propagates directly to a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera . In the test path, the intensity transmitted through the target is collected by a lens onto a single-pixel bucket detector . The target is placed on a motion platform, and the platform is driven by a stepping motor; thus it can move along the optical axis. In addition, the stepping accuracy of the platform is 1 μm, and the stepping motor is connected to a computer, which can control the target’s motion.
For the schematic shown in Fig. 1, under the paraxial approximation, the impulse response function of the reference path is
When the target moves along the optical axis with an unknown constant speed , the distance between the source plane and the object plane is time-dependent, namely . Thus the impulse response function for the test path at time can be expressed as
For pseudo-thermal light GI, the intensity distribution modulated by the rotating ground glass disk follows a negative exponential distribution function . If the source is large enough relative to the object, the light field generated by the rotating ground glass disk can be considered to be fully spatially incoherent, and the intensity distribution can be assumed to be uniform as a constant intensity , then
When the target’s axial motion is restricted in the range of axial correlation depth of light field (ACDF) described in , namely for a circular-shaped source, then the quadratic term including in Eq. (5) is approximately a constant (namely, ). After calculating the integral of , Eq. (5) can be rewritten as7), it is observed that the magnification of recovered images will vary with the distance when the camera in the reference path of the GI system is fixed.
According to the Klyshko’s picture , Fig. 2 illustrates the explanation of motion blur of lensless pseudo-thermal light GI for an axially moving target shown in Fig. 1. The target’s motion range, noted as , is constrained in the ACDF of the target plane located at from the source. By the reversibility of the light field, as shown in Fig. 2, the target is illuminated by a light source emitting the light from the bucket detector and then is reflected by the phase conjugated mirror to the CCD camera . When the distance between the source plane and the target plane varies, an image with the magnification can be achieved on the CCD camera . Therefore, for the image deviated from the optical axis on the target’s plane, when the CCD camera in the reference path is fixed and the target’s motion range is restricted in , as illustrated in Fig. 2, the corresponding GI will move along the axis of the CCD camera plane with the increase of , and the motion blur on the camera plane is (where ). The results imply that the target’s transverse imaging resolution will decrease with an increase of the deviation of the target’s center position from the optical axis or .
In order to overcome the motion blur problem of GI for an axially moving target with an unknown constant speed, we propose a deblurring method based on speckle-resizing and speed retrieval. According to the property of ACDF, the speckle located in the range of ACDF is similar, and only the magnification is different. Therefore, when the target is moving from to with a constant speed , we can resize the speckle via the magnification based on the speckle distribution recorded by the CCD camera . By calculating the intensity correlation function between the resized speckle distributions and the intensities recorded by the bucket detector , a deblurred image can be reconstructed. In practice, the moving speed of the target is unknown; thus the estimated accuracy to the speed directly affects the imaging resolution of the retrieved image. In order to determine the speed , we can calculate the discrepancy between the estimated signal and the signal directly recorded by the bucket detector, namely
3. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
To verify the above concept and analytical results, we carried out experimental tests with a double slit (slit width , slit height , and center-to-center separation ) in different motion conditions, using the lensless pseudo-thermal light GI scheme depicted in Fig. 1. The distance between the CCD camera and the source plane is fixed as . The exposure time window for both the camera and the detector is set to be 1 ms, and the sampling frequency is 10 Hz. The transverse size of the speckle on the CCD camera is about 106 μm, and the measurement number is . Figure 3(a) present the experimental demonstration results of the influence of the deviation on GI for an axially moving target with a constant speed. In this case, the start line of the motion is set as , and the motion speed is about ; then . In Fig. 3(a), we show the reconstruction results of GI without speckle-resizing when the target’s center position is located at , 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 mm, respectively. According to , the corresponding motion blur in the direction of the camera plane is 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 mm, respectively. Therefore, as displayed in Fig. 3(a), it is clearly seen that the transverse resolution of GI in the direction reduces with the increase of , which is in accordance with the analytical results. Similarly, , and the maximum value of is 450 μm for the double-slit (half of the slit height), thus the largest motion blur in direction is 45 μm, which is less than the speckle’s transverse size on the CCD camera plane and the transverse resolution in direction hardly degrades. By searching over the estimated speed space (the process takes about 30 s on a normal PC), the relationship between the discrepancy and the speed for the case of is shown in Fig. 3(d). From the curve , the corresponding motion speed is 82 μm/s for the minimum value of (namely the point C on the curve), which coincides with the true motion speed of the target. Relative to the results displayed in Fig. 3(a), Fig. 3(c) illustrates the corresponding deblurring reconstruction results when the motion speed is estimated as . In order to compare with the results shown in Fig. 3(c), Fig. 3(b) gives the retrieved images with the speckle-resizing method when the motion speed is estimated as [corresponding to the point B on the curve shown in Fig. 3(d)]. It is obviously observed that the motion blur can be removed only when the speed of the moving target is correctly estimated.
When the deviation of the target’s center position is fixed as , Fig. 4 gives the experimental reconstruction results of GI without and with speckle-resizing in different motion ranges , and the other conditions are the same as in Fig. 3. Based on the ACDF described in , the ACDF of the target plane located at is about . In Fig. 4(a), the start line of the motion is set as , and the motion speed is about ; thus is about 410 mm (namely ). In Fig. 4(b), is 380 mm and is about 420 mm (namely ). In Fig. 4(c), is 370 mm and is about 430 mm (namely ). Using the proposed speckle-resizing method based on speed retrieval and by searching over the estimated speed space, the corresponding motion speeds for Figs. 4(a)–4(c) are about 44, 82, and 120 μm/s, respectively. From the results shown in Figs. 4(a)–4(c), similar to the case demonstrated in Fig. 3, it is clearly seen that the imaging resolution of GI decreases with the increase of the motion range , and the motion blur can also be overcome by our proposed deblurring method.
In conclusion, we have theoretically and experimentally demonstrated that the axial relative motion between the target and the source will result in the degradation of transverse resolution for GI. As the deviation of the target’s center position from the optical axis or the motion range increases, the imaging resolution will become worse. Using the proposed deblurring method based on speckle-resizing and speed retrieval, our experimental results indicate that the motion speed of the target can be determined and the degradation of imaging resolution caused by the motion blur can also be overcome. This method can be directly applied to forward-looking GI.

This is very strange because I think that such musicians like Japanese traditional music never know “Toho Project” and such Otaku’s culture. Though the reason why they play the tune of “Toho Project” isn’t clear the atmosphere of the stage is very serious lol

Steroids legal in vietnam, vietnamese holiday
Steroids legal in vietnam
Steroids at a glance & the easiest method to buy steroids in vietnam anabolic steroids are manufactured substances associated with male sex hormonessteroid hormones which are produced by the body in the form of a steroid hormone and are used to produce the benefits of anabolic steroids. The following section provides information regarding the different types of steroids. Steroids are known as anabolic or &rogenic steroids, time in vietnam. The term anabolic refers to the ability to perform physical or mental functions such as growth and muscle development. Androgenic refers to the ability to produce female sex hormones such as testosterone, time in vietnam.The following are two possible reasons why you need testosterone in case of the above issues, time in vietnam.1) The body will build up high levels of testosterone in response to a workout2) The body will become dependent on large amounts of the aldosterone hormone from the testosterone gland because of the high levels of testosterone which is produced by both the testis and the ovaries, time in vietnam. This is often referred as male sex hormone deficiency (MSHD), steroids legal greece.Testicular/Ovarian Testicular Growth Testicular/ Ovarian Steroids are used to grow the testicles. They are not necessary during puberty because the testicles can become fully functional without them.The following are the various steroids used to enlarge the testicles.The first type of steroid which will aid in testicular development is the testosterone. When taken orally, testosterone is a strong anabolic steroid which helps enlarge the testicles in men and women who are under the influence of any estrogen, vietnam beaches. In men, the testosterone which is produced from the testicle is released into the bloodstream (the blood), and then the testosterone which is produced from the ovaries is carried into the bloodstream and stored there, steroids legal in hong kong. This is known as the storage phase of the steroid cycle. This cycle starts with the production of the testosterone from the testicles, vietnam beaches.The process of testosterone secretion is referred to as the action phase of the steroid cycle, vietnam beaches. Once the action phase is started, the testosterone which is produced from the testicles is absorbed through the bloodstream and remains in the bloodstream for a long period of time. The testosterone which is produced from the ovaries is carried via the bloodstream into the ovaries for storage. The testosterone which is produced from the ovaries is then released into the bloodstream, steroids legal in vietnam. Since the hormone which is stored in the ovaries is not released into the blood, it is referred to as the storage phase. The action and storage phases are linked together because both of them involve an increase in the levels of the hormone which is the production of testosterone in the testicles.The following is a list of all the common steroids which are used to enlarge the testicles.Testosterone

Testosterone injections for muscle building will begin to produce the desired results after about one week of the first injection, female bodybuilders in jacksonville, tuscaloosa, and south central lansing use this method, usually after three months of injecting the hormone. Female bodybuilders in east california use the testosterone protocol, often starting at 30mg a day, over a period of six weeks. A 5mg daily dose will normally produce a very impressive increase in testosterone levels within a matter of weeks, but, since most bodybuilders use testosterone from the same source, there are always variations in how much a individual can actually produce. Although testosterone supplements have been used for many years, in the last several years many of the most popular supplements are testosterone based. This is because testosterone, like many natural substances, has to be treated with a specific dosage and timing. Testosterone supplements for women are now available in most grocery stores and pharmacies. And like testosterone injections, they may only last a single year. For the most part, only bodybuilders have the money and means needed to go down this road of using testosterone pills for a year. If, however, there is another reason why you should be using testosterone supplements for muscle building, you probably wouldn't mind this being the one. Because testosterone supplements are so easy to obtain and generally effective, there is less motivation to skip them. Many people in the men's market of bodybuilders and other athletes will use and benefit from testosterone supplements. What is the Best Way of Taking Supplements for Muscle Building? Now that you know what testosterone supplements can do for you, it's important to know what to look for in any supplements you choose to take. The same is true with the way you supplement your diet. If you choose to supplement with steroids or any other form of steroids, it is in your best interest, on top of everything else that you are doing, to take supplements that will give you the best possible results. To do that though, you have to understand the best supplements available.

text: TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey businesses earning more than $1 million would see their corporate tax rates go up, with proceeds going toward school funding under a proposal Senate President Steve Sweeney unveiled TuesdaySweeney, a Democrat, said the measure would allow New Jersey to capture funding that businesses are expecting to receive thanks to the federal tax overhaul, which lowered corporate rates from 35 percent to 21 percent.The move is expected to bring in $657 million in new revenue for New Jersey, Sweeney said. He wants to use the money to help fund schools, with some of the new revenue going toward special education and pre-school."We're not increasing their costs,'' Sweeney said. "This is a windfall. We're asking for a portion of the windfall to help taxpayers.The proposed change would effectively raise the rate from 9 percent to 12 percent for companies with income over $1 million. The proposal would not apply to small businesses or partnerships owned by individuals and families, Sweeney said.The $657 million expected from Sweeney's proposal is slightly higher than an estimated $600 million expected from a tax hike on millionaires that Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy favors.Murphy said doesn't see Sweeney's idea as a replacement for the tax millionaire tax. But he sounded open to considering it."I don't see it as an alternative, perhaps as an additional weapon at our disposal,'' he said.Republicans panned the idea.Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean Jr. said the proposal demonizes employers and chases jobs from the state.The state Chamber of Commerce and New Jersey Business and Industry Association said in a joint statement they're concerned the change would make New Jersey less competitive compared to Pennsylvania.

John Tavener has become one of Britain’s most well known composers over the last twenty years. The nature of his musical compositions underwent a dramatic change following his entry into the Orthodox Church.
Of the three pieces reviewed here, two are instrumental and one is unaccompanied singing, with a bass drone to anchor the melody. The Protecting Veil was inspired by the Orthodox feast of the Protecting Veil of the Mother of God, which commemorates the apparition of Mary the Theotokos in the early 10th century at the Vlachernae Palace church at Vlacherni, Constantinople. The work is written for a solo cello, accompanied by strings, comprising eight sections, with the last section reprising the first section’s hauntingly majestic theme. The cello part sounds uncannily like a human singing voice in places, and conveys an impression of a timeless influence which is trying to reach us. The Last Sleep of the Virgin was written in 2002 just before Tavener underwent major heart surgery. To reflect the fact that the composer himself found the music was “almost beyond my grasp”, the performers are directed to play “at the threshold of audibility”. The music (instrumental) enacts the Falling Asleep and burial of the Mother of God by the Apostles, and was also written in homage to Dame Margot Fonteyn, the famous ballerina. The effect of trying to listen to such quiet, contemplative music with a predominant use of handbells is touching and enlivening.
The final piece, Song for Athene, was performed at Princess Diana’s funeral in 1997. It was written in April 1993 by Tavener as a tribute to Athene Hariades, a young half-Greek actress who was a family friend killed in a cycling accident. He had heard her reading Shakespeare in Westminster Abbey, and after her funeral, developed the idea of composing a song which combined words from the Orthodox funeral service and Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Like the Protecting Veil, the piece starts and ends with the same melody – a beautifully simple “Alleluia” sung by the tenors accompanied by a bass drone. In a few minutes, the piece offers short musical splinters of recollections of a life cut tragically short, but nonetheless including joy and thankfulness.
All of these pieces deserve to be actively listened to without background noise. John Tavener’s music has been described by some as icons of sound. These three pieces produce a strong impetus in me to reflect and to search inwardly.

While you can replace a garage door without necessarily changing the rails, it's not the best idea. Garage doors come with their own set of rails, and if you don't install them, you'll prepare for a number of problems that will reduce the reliability of your garage door. Intense sunlight can also interrupt the electrical eye and prevent the system from opening or closing the garage door. However, with so many types of garage doors, it might be a good idea to also get an estimate of more than one type of door.
It's always best to hire a professional garage door contractor to install them, because of the safety risks involved and to ensure they're done correctly. Maintaining and regularly inspecting your garage door means that it will also be in good working order. Most garage doors come with their own set of tracks and rollers from the manufacturer, so there's no need to buy tracks separately. Otherwise, consult your manual to correct or adjust the automatic reverse of the garage door opening system, or call a professional for help.
However, manual doors are easier to install than automatic doors because they are lighter and do not require the installation of cables or a motor. Most garage door kits will include a new garage door rail and installation instructions for that particular model. These doors have three to eight panels that slide up and down along the garage door rail (also known as a rail). Now, let's discuss how a falling garage door can fall on vehicles, mechanical tools, and many other objects that may be in your garage.
Studies have shown that adding insulation to a garage door improves energy efficiency in an attached garage by up to an impressive 20%. Activate the opening device and check that when the garage door touches 2 by 4, it reverses immediately (within two seconds). Unfortunately, it's not as easy as installing a new garage door and leaving all the old components. So let's look at a couple of reasons why it's better to install new roads next to the new garage door.
It may be better to spend a couple of extra dollars replacing the garage door and also replacing the rails. While installing a new garage door isn't a recommended DIY project for the average homeowner, hiring a professional will help ensure a safe and proper installation.

A Machine for Growing. Relocalising Agriculture to an Urban Context
Agriculture is the most fundamental industry to our survival. With out being able to produce good nutritional food we can not exist. But increasingly this industry and the role it plays in our lives is changing due to its industrialisation driven by the access to cheap and, currently, abundant energy resources. Cheap fuel has given rise to large-scale, fossil fuel intensive, globalised food distribution systems that undermines the role of local food production in a sustainable food network. This thesis proposes that by integrating agriculture back into our communities we can create a more sustainable, secure and accessible food production system.
This thesis explores ways that we can use architectural design to relocalise agriculture into an urban context. It investigates how architecture could be used to develop a framework that could support local food production in an urban environment. Through exploring the relocalisation of agriculture the project develops architectural characteristics that enable it to integrate with its surrounding contexts. This integration is further explored by developing an environment to facilitate public engagement with the processes that the framework supports.


Researchers and Reporters Misread the Struggle for Democracy in the Muslim World, Scholars SayBreaking News
The scholars had varying levels of optimism about the near-term prospects for democracy in the region. But all agreed that political scientists and popular writers tend to lean too heavily on religious and cultural explanations for the persistence of tyranny in Arab countries and in the broader Islamic world.
The tenets and institutions of Islam are not necessarily a serious barrier to democracy, said Feriha Perekli, a graduate student in Middle Eastern studies and linguistics at Indiana University at Bloomington. The Islamic tradition of consultative governance is theoretically compatible with modern democratic institutions, she said.
It is more useful, Ms. Perekli said, to look not at religion but at the institutional structures of Arab countries. Borrowing a model developed by Richard Snyder, an associate professor of political science at Brown University, Ms. Perekli argued that most Arab nations today lack the structural conditions that typically foreshadow the emergence of democracy.
First, she said, in most Middle Eastern countries the military is tightly bound to the state. In countries such as Saudi Arabia and Jordan, she said, the top military officials are typically close relatives of the monarchs.
Second, the countries' domestic elites are not highly alienated. Most Middle Eastern regimes, she said, have effectively co-opted their countries' economic elites and have permitted just enough freedom in civil society to provide a safety valve for elite discontent.
Finally, there is no coherent opposition with mass popular support. The divisions between secular and Islamist reform movements, Ms. Perekli said, have prevented the emergence of such a coherent opposition.
Until those three structural conditions change, Ms. Perekli argued, there is not likely to be a successful democratic upheaval. "This is not an optimistic picture," she said.

Jaguar I Pace 2021 Updates
Formula E and delivered all-electric powered antagonism alternation receive achieved added than market it the abeyant of electric motors. The abstracts they aftermath has benefited automakers by means of allowance them boost their all-electric powered alley motors.
Such is the case for Jaguar. The logo’s antagonism enjoy—in each Formula E and within the I-Pace eTrophy—has been a big enabler for enhancements to the revamped 2021 I-Pace electric SUV and, abutting year, an all-electric Jaguar XJ sedan, the British automaker stated.
2019/2020 Jaguar I-Type four Formula E chase vehicle
Steve Boulter, the I-Pace agent affiliation supervisor, specific in a alarm aftermost anniversary with Green Car Reports, what he calls “an incredible testbed” for acquirements about thermal management and undertaking cycles in EVs, constant in “a accommodating dating” amid Jaguar’s alley cartage and chase automobiles.
“In the give up, that enterprise it’s like a consumer’s got a abounding chase aggregation abaft them as properly,” Boulter said. “Racing gives us acquaintance and recommendation that we wouldn’t contrarily be given as engineers.”
When you amalgamate the abstracts from that acute antagonism ambiance with the masses of thousands and thousands of afar of street-automobile abstracts that Jaguar has, it may get a larger attitude on how its cars are truth acclimated and the way they can be stepped forward.
The aboriginal allotment of boost abreast by way of antagonism already accustomed aftermost December—inside the anatomy of an amend to absolute I-Pace models that included some austere upgrades to how the I-Pace manages strength, additional a few attenuate adjustments inside the manner it performs.
For U.S. I-Paces already brought it appropriate a cruise aback to the dealership. But now, affective forward, owners can get over-the-air updates.
2021 Jaguar I-Pace
Boulter says that that real cogent amend took absolute advantage of Formula E and eTrophy telemetry records. By alteration the absence torque management amid the advanced and rear motors to 30% at the front, 70% to the rear—as opposed to 50/50 before—Jaguar begin that it could advance capacity after affecting performance.
It moreover extra potential by way of application delivered adorning braking and bringing it in faster, at decrease speeds and back the accompaniment of allegation is higher.
It’s moreover fabricated delivered in a position use of the alive radiator-vane system, that may shut off the grille on the superior and antithesis bigger aerodynamics with cooling needs, and bothered the calefaction pump behavior and scavenging behavior from components.
Altogether, the software program amend that become activated to I-Paces starting in December adapted the actual-international ambit on each agent by way of approximately 12 afar (relative to the I-Pace’s 234-mile U.S. Range). It additionally broadcast the I-Pace’s adequacy for over-the-air updates.
Finally, the array management software has been tailored to acquiesce the percent’s accompaniment of allegation to run decrease than afore “with out affecting the spine and the drivability and achievement of the automobile in any respect,” assured Boulter.
The 2021 Jaguar I-Pace, which Boulter calls “I-Pace 2.0,” represents the abutting footfall in this development plan—“a technology and information-driven artefact strengthen in software and hardware.”
The model, that’s accession to the U.S. Within the “next numerous months,” in step with Jaguar USA, includes accouterments enhancements to the carried out electrical architecture. That will accredit introduced in approaching over-the-air updates, Boulter hinted, however the first-rate apparent affair within the 2021 is a new Pivi Pro infotainment arrangement that is eighty five% quicker than the antecedent machine, consists of larger navigation, and might now brace phones straight away.
2021 Jaguar I-Pace
An advancement of the altitude ascendancy association permits delivered in a position heating and delivered filtration bottomward to PM2.Five. Back you’re charging you can set the agent to apply ablution to abolition allergens and ultra-satisfactory debris.
With a twin-modem anchored SIM and available 4G abstracts plan, vehicle-huge over-the-air updates are underneath intrusive, recognition a few varieties of updates even as the auto’s in use.
The I-Pace’s OTA updates are bound to what Jaguar calls “calibrations.” Although that seashores annihilation safety-vital like adherence ascendancy structures abroad in an breadth bankrupt to updates, Boulter says there’s this kind of abundance of improvements you could accomplish after affecting those.
Updates inside the I-Pace seem through a telematics unit, which has admission and is subscribed to accordant networks in the course of the auto, and it once more updates the software program on the ones networks.
2019 Jaguar I-Pace at EVgo charger
With upgraded hardware, the 2021 I-Pace will allegation in the U.S. At as much as 40 amps, towards 32 earlier than. Adding as much as 22 afar of ambit consistent with hour, and European cartage can allegation at 3-section and up to 11 kw, for as much as 33 afar per hour. On DC speedy charging the I-Pace can upload sixty three EPA-cycle afar of ambit in aloof 15 mins.
But the one affair they haven’t but in the absolute amend or in the 2021 version, in line with Boulter, is charging behavior for the vehicle. Although the I-Pace has moreover fabricated on hand a all-inclusive abstracts set apropos how owners allegation their vehicles, appealing astern to the aboriginal adopter date isn’t as accessible as popular consumers’ charging behavior are attractive sincerely different.
Race to road, and alley to race
Jaguar had to perform a few boxy choices this yr, and considered one of them turned into acid its I-Pace eTrophy Series. Jaguar credibility out that it was the aboriginal “top rate manufacturer” to grow to be complicated in Formula E, and it charcoal so this season.
2020 Jaguar I-Pace
The barter of technology isn’t aloof in a single route, and aural its antagonism aggregation the allowances aren’t reaped on my own by Jaguar. James Barclay, the administrator of the Panasonic Jaguar Antagonism Team, acclaimed that Panasonic has been a accomplice for the automaker on a cardinal of technology portions for the I-Pace, and the corporations allotment a “studies team” that has admission to all the abstracts and takeaways.
Even admitting electric powered-automobile lovers capability be familiar of Panasonic’s longstanding association to accumulation batteries to Tesla and others, the antagonism affiliation with Jaguar is “a all-round belvedere to acquaint those tales,” Barclay said.
Not all the technology is hobby from the chase car to the road, both. Boulter says that its Formula E vehicle uses the road-signal recognition association that become initially advanced for alley automobiles.
The irony is that the electric chase vehicle uses that generation evolved to accumulate your acceleration bottomward on the alley to analyze area it’s miles on the develop and, demography banal of how abundant allegation is left, to move as speedy as it is able to likely move on the track.

A critical role of the kidneys is to maintain the effective circulating volume and plasma osmolality within relatively narrow limits, as well as to maintain electrolyte homeostasis. The normal homeostatic mechanisms that maintain the effective circulating volume and plasma osmolality are discussed elsewhere. (See "General principles of disorders of water balance (hyponatremia and hypernatremia) and sodium balance (hypovolemia and edema)".)
Under normal circumstances, the kidneys can adjust to wide variations in dietary intake by appropriate variations in water and electrolyte excretion , which is particularly important when discussing maintenance fluid requirements.
Water balance — Water losses lead to an increase in serum sodium and osmolality, resulting in stimulation of thirst and increased release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). In normal individuals, these changes will lead to increased water intake and reduced water excretion, which will restore normal water balance. Thus, patients who are alert, have an intact thirst mechanism, and access to water will not become hypernatremic. (See "Etiology and evaluation of hypernatremia".)
On a normal diet, the minimum water intake is estimated at 500 mL/day (assuming there are no increased losses). This value is based upon the balance of total water intake and production and the minimum rate of urinary loss. Individuals who can concentrate their urine to 1200 mosmol/kg who excrete 600 mosmol of solute (sodium and potassium salts and urea) per day will have a minimum urine output of 500 mL (600 mosmol ÷ 1200 mosmol/kg).
There are two other sources of water in addition to fluid ingestion: the water content of food (fruits and vegetables are almost 100 percent water by weight) and the water generated by oxidation of carbohydrates. There are also other sources of water loss in addition to the urine output: insensible losses and sweat.

Machair Water's Packaging Is As Pure As Water Itself
by Chloe Gordon on 03/12/2021 | 2 Minute Read
There's something special about discovering a new brand of water that has packaging so pure it makes you feel refreshed just by looking at it. Studio h has captured water's pristine simplicity in their design for the Scottish-based start-up water brand, Machair. With the simple illustration and softened color scheme, water's most authentic essence can sparkle through.
Studio h has created the branding and packaging design for start-up boutique water brand Machair on the Isle of Lewis in the remote Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Machair is a Gaelic word for the rare, low-lying fertile grassy plains found on the West coast formed over the years by sand, Atlantic gales and traditional Outer Hebrides crofting practices. The name was chosen to celebrate this beautiful landscape and the islanders who came before them – a uniquely Hebridean water from a spring that provided water for generations of crofters who worked the surrounding land.
“To capture the essence of the unique source of this pristine water, the branding uses a modern take on a Celtic style and the simple, flat colour illustration evokes the isolated nature of the island” says Rob Hall, Creative Partner, Studio h. Featured in the illustration is an old crofters cottage with a red door that marks the source of Machair Water. The layout changes between Sparkling and Still to emphasise the different variants and create interest.

A lonely and bitter young heiress - jealous of her cousin's engagement to another woman - becomes dangerously obsessed with legends surrounding a vampire ancestor, who supposedly murdered the young brides of the man she loved.
Young Carmilla is jealous of her friend's engagement, and her obsession leads her to the tomb of a female vampire. The vampire possesses her and leads her to kill and terrorise the inhabitants of the estate. But is it all in her mind, or is she really under the control of an ancient vampire ancestor?Written by
Christopher Lee was originally considered for the role of Count Karnestein (probably to make the film marketable for fans of his Hammer vampire films) but the part eventually went to his friend Mel Ferrer. See more »
In three shots from the same scene, the bloodstain on Carmilla's dress moves from the right to the left side, then back to the right side again. See more »
The US version of the film eliminates both the original epilogue and prologue as the Professor tells the story of Carmilla, as well as almost every scene with Martha and Marie. That version also includes a totally different ending on which Georgia herself becomes a vampire, as well as an all new voice over narration by Millarca herself. See more »
A school chum and I saw this film only one time - when it was first released in 1960. During a recent reunion we realized that neither of us has ever forgotten the spellbinding qualities of the movie as a whole! I very clearly remember the impression of having walked into a renaissance-era painting accompanied by a musical score that along with the visuals, created an almost hypnotic state. Elsa Martinelli was a familiar face at that time, but the mysteriously beautiful other actress was not. I now realize she has to have been Annette Vadim. I clearly remember the undercurrent she portrayed with such seemingly effortless skill that it almost felt like watching two separate characters. The other actors and characters seemed to be almost like props in comparison to these two players in the story. I do hope I can see it again.

Fenris ( Fenrisúlfr) , Fenrir or also old norse "Vánagandr" , the First son of Loki it is foretold that he will kill Odin in Ragnarok.....
This model was actually made for animals and creatures but with the further progress of the model it's also good as an general model for all sorts of generations.
it can handle a huge range of CFG from 1-30+ (see CFG Matrix in the Showcase)
needs no refiner because the base model was XL6 HEPHAISTOS
can go from low resolutions from 256x256 (512x512 recommended) to 1200x1200 and even higher but with no guarantee of consistency 😉 I had made tests with 1500x1000 and 800x1500 they are mostly runs fine and btw it has no fixed resolutions so have fun to experiments with different resolutions ;-)
Changelog / Versions details / Credits
First Released Model very outdated!
XL6 - HEPHAISTOS and some loras
did get more training from images by the fenris (1.5) model (this time from 3.1 and 4.03)
overall a better look than 1.4 but still in an early stage (WIP)
1 week more training (+100 Pictures)
merged in v1.1 XL6 - HEPHAISTOS
Overall the best Version so far.
pulled back because of a bug
now have we left the early stage but its still (WIP)
Please Check out their amazing work!
added more training
better overall quality
+more training ( changed also a bit my training Method)
Please Check them also out
The best results I got from CFG 1 to 6 at 40 to 80 steps
7-11 CFG 70 to 200 steps (for example 10CFG /100-150 steps)
or at 12-16 CFG (200-300 at 12) / 400 - 600 steps at 16 CFG
V7.0 / V7.03
refined V5.5 also merged with models (6.xx) that never get released
merged in XL13 Asmodeus
I decided to split the model thats the reason for two V7.0 Versions
for creative artwork, anime , comic, drawings, and digital art
if you need more realistic outcomes.
Note: for 7.0/7.03 i recommend using the "FenrisXL VAE
for the next Versions i will bake this VAE in from the start!
added more training
merged in small amounts of XL6 - HEPHAISTOS V 3.3
trained in small amounts of ashrpg loras
more realistic, consistent and creative than V7.03
it can handle a huge range of CFG from 1-30+
Please Check out their amazing work
Merge between V8.01 and V7.00, V7.02 ,V5.01. , NewdawnV2.2
I also added a bit train difference from Yamers Perfect Design
Made for creative stuff (Digital Art, anime, and drawings)
i recommend using V9.22 for photorealistic Images.
Merged in some small parts of the Thalos Project,
Some parts of Fenrisxl 8.09
and lots of new Training Data!
better overall quality
a bit more creative than V8.01 but for art i recommend V8.09
Version got deleted because it had a bug that let the model overbake sometimes and ruined the image sorry about that
Recommended for Photorealism
V11.12 (Creative Photo)
Brings the design back from V8.01 (i also merged in back i huge amount of it back in)
added back the posibility for creative stuff did archieved that because i merged in a small amount of newdawnXL
merged also in Colossus Project XL v1.0
i also switched the merging method a bit thanks to Triple_Headed_Monkey
there will be no creative artwork Version anymore because i still recommend using NewdawnXL or V8.09 for that
This Model is the upgrade of V10.03
more training overall
I recomment for Creative Photos V11.12
V14.5 Experimental Version
this is basically Newdawnxl with an fenrisxl picture output
more linguistic and intuitive
can go from low resolutions from 256x256 (512x512 recommended) to 1200x1200 but can go over this limit too but no guarantee for consistency anymore
it can do artworks again but i still recommend newdawnxl for that
There is also an tensor.art only version with an slightly alternative output and some small technical improvements over 14.50 I recommend this version to use online when you have an potato computer or you like generating images on the go
It been a while since the last update because it was pretty hard to improve FenrisXL
Merged in Gleipnir
and add lots of Extra Training:
More versatile and an increased creativity include artworks and drawings but i recommend also looking into Newdawnxl
Even the results are good I'm always working on the model to make it even better in some way expect lots of updates, experimental stuff ,I'm very creative and have lots of ideas and like trying to break technical limits. That's the reason I'm never done with this model.
please give some feedback if you like ;-) to improve it even further
and if you like buy my buddy a beer that we will then drink together
!!!Use it at your own risk, you a responsible for your own creations!!!
PS: will report every sick photo that is posted here! (CP, brutal Gore, etc)
This disclaimer is not here without reasons. please have in mind this is like a virtual showroom and posting extreme stuff is like 💩 on my desk in real live 😉

If someone were to give me the word "taco" in a word association game, these are words I'd come up with instantly: tortillas, carnitas, barbacoa, lengua, lettuce, potato and egg, chorizo, and fish. Here are words I'd never blurt out: lion, beaver, kangaroo, or gazelle. That I can't make those word connections only proves I lack imagination, because a restaurant in Tampa Florida, Taco Fusion, has gotten all creative and is offering "Safari Tacos."
It would appear that some folks didn't like the idea of Taco Fusion serving Lion meat and took to social media to express outrage. At 35 bucks per serving, the restaurant sold out, but left a bad taste in some people's mouths. Taco Fusion's owner, Ryan Gougeon, said he's getting scary threats and decided to pull lion tacos off the menu for now. He says it is all legal and responds to the uproar (almost resisted pun) by telling folks not to eat what they don't like. As long as serving lion meat is legal and healthy, the restaurant will consider keeping it on the menu.
Should I find myself ever eating at Taco Fusion, I'll be the traditionalist nerd ordering the beef or chicken tacos. Boring. I know.
Thanks Gawker for the link

Building a client website is no mean feat because it is essential to their business; getting it wrong can mean fewer visitors or sales. As a result, the delivery process is a significant factor in achieving client satisfaction.At SaneChoice, we follow an established process to ensure each website meets the brief. We are not saying our process is the best way or, in fact, the only way. But it might provide some guidance which you may choose to adopt.
Listen twice, speak once
The first thing SaneChoice do is understand the client’s business and what they want to achieve. Naturally, Web Designers are brimming with ideas, but if these ideas do not align with the client’s goals, it will cause unnecessary friction. When the requirements are clear, only then is it a good time to inject some of your expertise and experience to improve the design.
When designing the Sofas and Beyond website, we discussed the requirements with the owner over several days. We wanted to understand why the previous website was not working for the client and what they wanted to achieve in the future. This discussion was great ground-laying and helped the project become an overall success.
It’s not just about design
This one is something we live and die by. A client website must look great, but it must also function well. There is no point have a stunning website with hard-to-use navigation or a layout which is not intuitive. Never underestimate the sum of the parts, which is excellent websites are only excellent when both design and functionality rock.
We also want to add a few comments about security and performance, known as ‘non-functional requirements’ in project parlance. Most web developers think deeply about the design but don’t always consider these areas. For example, security is essential to ensure online transactions and keeping personal information safe. Likewise, slow performance can ruin a great website by creating a poor user experience. So, when creating a website, ensure you are also factoring in these critical areas.
Include the basics as standard
We think this aspect is essential when building a client website. Don’t make every feature a chargeable extra when creating web design packages.
Clients should not have to pay separately for solid security, good performance, or anything fundamental to the operation of a website. There is no point in creating a great design and then asking for extra money to make it work securely and performantly. Instead, build the costs of these must-haves into the design model and deliver them as part of the project. Again, your focus is on the design, and the client expects security and performance as part of the delivery.
Formalise the plan
It is essential to place what you will do in writing, so both parties are clear on the project’s outcomes. We recommend that you include as much detail as possible, leaving little room for ambiguity. The proposal should incorporate deliverables, time estimates, expectations and the overall cost. It would be prudent if you also considered a phased delivery approach to obtain acceptance at key milestones rather than at the end. Spending time setting the project up for success is a segway to success.
Provide a concept
Usually, the home page is the design that will continue throughout the website. Therefore, it is vital to spend time getting this right. Next, create some concepts which enable you to have an iterative discussion with your client on likes and dislikes. Some designers start with a piece of paper to make the initial concept. However, with all the modern tools available to web developers, it is just as easy to start digitally and evolve.
At the start of a project, we ask our clients which websites they like and why. This simple question helps articulate what the client is after in terms of design and functionality. It is far easier (and more effective) than simply asking the client to describe.
Build, but check-in regularly
Once you have an agreed design concept, you can progress to the inner pages. Here you will be building out the site with spaces for content. You will find that customers have a different view on the inner pages and can be pretty specific for About Us, Contact and any page that reflects their brand. As you build internal pages, periodically show your customer the progress for their feedback.
Provide go-live support
The chances of you building a client website, releasing it into production, and that being the last you hear of it are pretty slim! There will always be a few issues and some tweaks required once the website is live. We provide our customers with two weeks of High Care support where they can quickly get access to the development team in times of need. We have found this to be very reassuring to the client and something we now provide with every project.
