The Hudson River’s “Tough Turtles”

During the summer months along the Hudson River south of Troy, New York, it’s easy to notice the tides rising and falling, herons wading in the shallow streams, and the giant cargo ships purposefully streaming up and down the river. Difficult to spot, however, are the river’s many turtles. Several varieties call the Hudson home, but the northern (also called common) map turtle is perhaps the most interesting and understudied.

Northern map turtle “Princess” hanging out while her tracker tag dries before her release. Scientists use these tags to locate the turtles for months after capture.

Northern map turtles (Graptemys geographica) are large river turtles that get their name from the intricate circling pattern on their shells, which resemble the elevation lines on a map. These turtles are relatively secretive. In urban areas they have to work especially hard to find what they need to survive. For one thing, turtles need good basking objects—places where they can come out of the water safely and sun themselves to warm up. Fallen trees or rocks make the best basking habitat, specifically ones that are farther out into the water so they can easily escape from potential predators. Because of the tides, many potentially good basking objects aren’t reachable as they are either too high up the bank or underwater at any given time.

Another problem is finding places to lay their eggs. All turtles lay eggs and the northern map turtle is no exception. Most turtles prefer loose, sandy soil with plenty of sunlight for the eggs to develop successfully. Temperature determines the gender of the tiny map turtle babies—eggs toward the cooler, bottom of the nest often become males, while those eggs toward the warmer top (that therefore get more sun and heat) will become females. But in this highly urban area, good places to nest are few and far between. Natural areas, like those found in some of the State Parks along the river, help provide habitat for them. These spots seem perfect for northern map turtles, but they do tend to have a couple of drawbacks: 1) road and foot traffic and 2) predators smelling the eggs and destroying the nests soon after they’ve been laid. In addition, well-meaning people who are simply curious about these turtles (and with good reason!) approach nesting females that may “spook” and stop laying. People should give nesting turtles some space and observe quietly from a distance.

Because good turtle habitat is hard to find in an urbanized section of the river, researchers Dr. James Gibbs and Master of Science candidate Julia Vanaman from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry are working to identify what habitats are most important to map turtles. Aquatic plants, basking objects, forest along the river banks, and shoreline development all likely play a role in where these turtles choose to spend their time. Once the researchers understand why a turtle likes an area, they can pass along that information to state and local park managers who can protect habitat and take measures to enhance it (e.g., by creating nesting habitat or increasing the number of available basking objects). With these habitat improvements, hopefully these fascinating turtles will stick around for many years to come.

Note: Northern map turtles (Graptemys geographica) occur across much of eastern North America from the Mississippi River, north to the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River, and east to small portions of the Susquehanna, Delaware and Hudson river systems. In New York State, the map turtle is considered vulnerable to decline and is recognized as a Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) in the state’s wildlife action plan.

Lesson: How to Shop for the Perfect Pair of Flats
Introduction:
Finding the perfect pair of flats can be a daunting task. With so many options available, it can be hard to know where to start. In this lesson, we will explore the different types of flats available, how to choose the right size, and what to look for in a quality pair of shoes. By the end of this lesson, you will have the knowledge and confidence to shop for the perfect pair of flats.
Section 1: Types of Flats
There are many different types of flats available, each with its own unique features and benefits. Some of the most popular types of flats include:
- Ballet flats: These are a classic style of flat that is often made of soft leather or suede. They have a low heel and a rounded toe.
- Slip-on flats: These are a type of flat that slips on easily without the need for laces or other fastenings. They are often made of canvas or other breathable materials.
- Loafers: These are a type of flat that has a slip-on design but with no back or heel strap. They are often made of leather or suede and have a low profile.
- Mules: These are a type of flat that has no back and is open at the heel. They are often worn without socks and are a popular choice for summer wear.
Section 2: How to Choose the Right Size
Choosing the right size is essential when shopping for flats. Here are some tips to help you find the perfect fit:
- Measure your foot: Take a piece of string or a tape measure and wrap it around the widest part of your foot, just above the arch. Make a note of the measurement.
- Try on the shoe: When trying on the shoe, make sure it fits snugly but comfortably. There should be enough room for your toes to move around but not so much room that your foot slides around.
- Check the length: Ensure that the shoe is not too long or too short for your foot. You should be able to wiggle your toes without the shoe feeling tight.
Section 3: What to Look for in a Quality Pair of Flats
When shopping for flats, there are several things to look for to ensure you are getting a quality pair of shoes. Here are some things to consider:
- Material: Look for flats made from high-quality materials such as leather or suede. These materials are durable and will last longer than cheaper materials.
- Arch support: Look for flats that have some arch support. This will help to prevent foot pain and discomfort.
- Sole: The sole of the shoe should be made from a non-slip material. This will help to prevent slipping and falling.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, shopping for the perfect pair of flats can be a fun and rewarding experience. By understanding the different types of flats available, how to choose the right size, and what to look for in a quality pair of shoes, you can confidently shop for the perfect pair of flats to complement any outfit.


text: My flock hasn't gotten much attention lately but my time table has been pushed way up. Fortunately these birds are quick little knits. I only have two more before I start the branches and leaves. I've found the best way to get work done on these is to carry all of my supplies for the project around in one bag. It really is more than I need for any bit of knitting, but these work up so quickly that it is only a bit of knitting before I am changing colors or sewing up a new piece. I feel like I'm carrying around an ridiculous amount, but I am not getting stuck with nothing to do after 10 minutes of knitting. No hangups means progress continues. Now on to the next one, with a green tail, and maybe yellow stripes.. 2 comments:. They would make a beautiful crib mobile.. Thank you! I've been enjoying them, though I clearly still haven't mastered the jogless stripe.

Lesson: How to knit a scarf using different colors

Introduction:
Knitting a scarf is a fun and creative activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. In this lesson, we will learn how to knit a scarf using different colors. We will cover the basic techniques involved in knitting, including casting on, knitting, purling, and binding off. We will also explore different patterns and stitches that can be used to create a unique and beautiful scarf.

Section 1: Materials and Equipment
To knit a scarf, you will need the following materials and equipment:
- Yarn (preferably in different colors)
- Knitting needles (size 8 or 10)
- Stitch holder or waste yarn
- Tapestry needle
- Scale or measuring tape

Section 2: Casting On
Casting on is the first step in knitting, where you create a loop on the needle that will become the starting point of your scarf. There are several methods for casting on, but we will use the long-tail method in this lesson.

1. Hold the yarn in your left hand and the knitting needle in your right hand.
2. Wrap the yarn around the needle twice, making sure that the working yarn (the yarn coming from the ball) is on the outside of the loop.
3. Pull the yarn through the loop, creating a long tail.
4. Place the needle with the loop at the end of the tail and bring the working yarn over the top of the needle.
5. Pull the yarn through the loop and tighten it to create the first stitch.

Repeat step 5 until you have cast on the desired number of stitches.

Section 3: Knitting
Knitting is the process of creating stitches by wrapping the yarn around the needle. There are two main types of knitting: knit and purl.

1. To knit, hold the working yarn in your left hand and the needle with the stitch in your right hand.
2. Wrap the yarn around the needle from front to back, making sure that the working yarn is on the outside of the loop.
3. Pull the yarn through the loop, creating a new stitch.

To purl, repeat steps 2 and 3, but wrap the yarn around the needle from back to front.

Section 4: Patterns and Stitches
There are many different patterns and stitches that you can use to create a unique and beautiful scarf. Some popular stitches include stockinette stitch, garter stitch, and seed stitch. You can also experiment with different patterns, such as stripes, checks, or waves.

Section 5: Binding Off
Binding off is the process of creating a tight knot at the end of your scarf to prevent unraveling. There are several methods for binding off, but we will use the slipknot method in this lesson.

1. Hold the working yarn in your left hand and the needle with the last stitch in your right hand.
2. Create a slipknot with the working yarn, holding it between your thumb and index finger.
3. Pass the needle through the loop of the slipknot.
4. Pull the yarn through the loop and tighten it to create the final stitch.
5. Use the tapestry needle to weave in any remaining ends of yarn.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to knit a scarf using different colors. We covered the basic techniques involved in knitting, including casting on, knitting, purling, and binding off. We also explored different patterns and stitches that can be used to create a unique and beautiful scarf. By following these steps and practicing regularly, you will be able to create your own beautiful and functional scarf.

Lesson: Introduction to Electric Guitars

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
An electric guitar is a stringed musical instrument that is designed to amplify the sound produced by its strings. It is commonly used in rock, blues, jazz, and other genres of music. In this lesson, we will explore the basic concepts of electric guitars, including their anatomy, parts, and functions.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
To demonstrate the practical applications of electric guitars, let's consider the following scenario: You are a member of a rock band and your band leader wants you to buy an electric guitar for the band's upcoming performance. You want to choose the best guitar that will produce a good sound and meet the needs of the band. What should you look for when choosing an electric guitar?

1. Body: The body of the guitar should be made of a material that produces a good sound when amplified. Woods such as mahogany, maple, and rosewood are commonly used for electric guitars.

2. Neck: The neck of the guitar should be comfortable to play and should have a good radius and width that suits your playing style.

3. Pickups: The pickups of the guitar should be able to produce a good sound when amplified. High-quality pickups will produce a clear and crisp sound.

4. Bridge: The bridge of the guitar should be able to hold the strings firmly and produce a good sound when played.

5. Knobs and Switches: The knobs and switches of the guitar should be easily accessible and functional. They should allow you to control the volume, tone, and pickup selection of the guitar.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
In this section, we will engage in self-debating discussions to teach critical thinking. Let's consider the following question: "Should I buy a solid body electric guitar or a hollow body electric guitar?"

Pros of Solid Body Electric Guitar:
- Produces a louder and brighter sound
- Has a more sustainable sound
- Is generally cheaper than a hollow body electric guitar

Cons of Solid Body Electric Guitar:
- Does not produce a warmer sound
- Can be heavier and bulkier
- May not have the same vintage appeal as a hollow body electric guitar

Pros of Hollow Body Electric Guitar:
- Produces a warmer and mellower sound
- Has a more vintage appeal
- May be lighter and easier to carry

Cons of Hollow Body Electric Guitar:
- Generally produces a quieter sound
- Has less sustain than a solid body electric guitar
- May be more expensive than a solid body electric guitar

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the choice between a solid body electric guitar and a hollow body electric guitar depends on your personal preferences and the style of music you play. If you are looking for a bright and loud sound, a solid body electric guitar may be the best option for you. However, if you prefer a warmer and mellower sound, a hollow body electric guitar may be a better choice. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide which guitar will best meet your needs and musical style.

Q:

xml parsing using xmltextreader

I am parsing some xml entries using the xmltextreader and looking for the elements I need by using different textreaders for each in a different loop as follows:
Dim treader As XmlTextReader = New XmlTextReader(New StringReader(item.ToString))
                While treader.Read
                    If treader.Name = "summary" Then
                        content = treader.ReadElementContentAsString
                        If String.IsNullOrEmpty(content) Then
                            content = "NOTHING"
                            Continue While
                        End If
                        contentList.Add(content)
                        Exit While

                    End If
                End While

and I do the same for each element I am looking for. Now the problem arises when I get the results for each. I use an arraylist for each element and at times I will have an unequal amount like 100 for summary, 100 for title , 99 for id etc...
is there a more efficient way of doing this by checking the entry if all the nodes are there and then just skipping it if it's not.
<entry>
 <summary>
 <id>
 <published>
 <uri>
 <rule>
</entry>

A:

I would make an entry object and deserialize the xml as a list of entry objects.  That would open the door to linq and for each loops.  Check out the XmlSerializer Class.  I hope your data doesn't have 99 ids and 100 of some other field.

Lesson: Parsing XML using XmlTextReader

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to parse XML data using the XmlTextReader class in C#. We will also learn how to extract specific elements from the XML document and store them in an array list.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is to teach students how to parse XML data using the XmlTextReader class in C#. We will also learn how to extract specific elements from the XML document and store them in an array list.

Section 1: Introduction to XML
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language that is used to store and transport data. It is a widely used format for exchanging data between different systems.

Section 2: Introduction to XmlTextReader
The XmlTextReader class is used to read XML data from a stream. It is similar to the XmlReader class, but it reads the data from a string instead of a file or URL.

Section 3: Parsing XML using XmlTextReader
To parse XML data using the XmlTextReader class, we first create an instance of the class with a string containing the XML data. We then loop through the XML data using a while loop, and read the name of each element using the ReadName method. If the element name matches the one we are looking for, we read the element's content using the ReadElementContentAsString method and add it to an array list.

Example:
```
Dim treader As XmlTextReader = New XmlTextReader(New StringReader(item.ToString))
                While treader.Read
                    If treader.Name = "summary" Then
                        content = treader.ReadElementContentAsString
                        If String.IsNullOrEmpty(content) Then
                            content = "NOTHING"
                            Continue While
                        End If
                        contentList.Add(content)
                        Exit While

                    End If
                End While
```

Section 4: Extracting Specific Elements
Sometimes, we may want to extract specific elements from the XML document. To do this, we can use XPath expressions to select the desired element.

Example:
```
Dim treader As XmlTextReader = New XmlTextReader(New StringReader(item.ToString))
                While treader.Read
                    If treader.Name = "title" Then
                        title = treader.ReadElementContentAsString
                        If String.IsNullOrEmpty(title) Then
                            title = "NOTHING"
                            Continue While
                        End If
                        titleList.Add(title)
                        Exit While

                    End If
                End While
```

Section 5: Practical Examples
Let's consider an example where we have an XML document containing information about books. We want to extract the title, author, and ISBN of each book.

Example:
```
<books>
  <book>
    <title>Book1</title>
    <author>Author1</author>
    <ISBN>1234567890</ISBN>
  </book>
  <book>
    <title>Book2</title>
    <author>Author2</author>
    <ISBN>2345678901</ISBN>
  </book>
  <book>
    <title>Book3</title>
    <author>Author3</author>
    <ISBN>3456789012</ISBN>
  </book>
</books>
```

We can use the XmlTextReader class to extract the title, author, and ISBN of each book.

Section 6: Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned how to parse XML data using the XmlTextReader class in C#. We also learned how to extract specific elements from the XML document and store them in an array list. We can apply these skills to other areas of programming, such as web scraping and data analysis.

Lesson: How to Use Bearings in Engineering Applications

Introduction:
Bearings are essential components in mechanical engineering applications. They are used to reduce friction and support rotational movement between two objects. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of bearings, their applications, and how to use them in engineering projects.

Section 1: Types of Bearings
There are three main types of bearings: ball bearings, roller bearings, and plain bearings.

1. Ball Bearings: These bearings consist of balls made of metal or ceramic material that are held between the inner and outer races of the bearing. They are used in applications where high precision and low friction are required.

2. Roller Bearings: These bearings consist of cylindrical rollers that are arranged so that they can roll between the inner and outer races of the bearing. They are used in applications where heavy loads need to be supported.

3. Plain Bearings: These bearings consist of a flat surface that is lubricated to reduce friction. They are used in applications where the load is not too heavy and where there is no need for precise motion.

Section 2: Applications of Bearings
Bearings are used in a wide range of engineering applications, including:

1. Automobiles: Bearings are used in the wheels, steering system, and engine of automobiles to reduce friction and support smooth motion.

2. Aerospace: Bearings are used in aircraft engines and landing gear to support heavy loads and reduce friction.

3. Industrial Machinery: Bearings are used in machinery such as conveyor belts, printing presses, and food processing equipment to support smooth motion and reduce friction.

Section 3: How to Use Bearings in Engineering Projects
To use bearings in engineering projects, follow these steps:

1. Identify the type of bearing required: Determine whether you need a ball bearing, roller bearing, or plain bearing based on the application and the required specifications.

2. Choose the right size: Select the appropriate size of the bearing based on the dimensions of the shaft or housing and the load that needs to be supported.

3. Install the bearing: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installing the bearing, which may involve pressing the bearing into place or using a specialized tool.

4. Lubricate the bearing: Apply the appropriate lubricant to the bearing to reduce friction and extend its life.

5. Test the bearing: Perform a test run of the machine to ensure that the bearing is functioning properly and providing the required support and reduction in friction.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the different types of bearings, their applications, and how to use them in engineering projects. By understanding the principles behind bearings, we can select the right type of bearing for our project and ensure that it functions properly.

Lesson: Introduction to Economic Indicators

### Section 1: What are Economic Indicators?
Economic indicators are measurements that help us understand how well the economy is doing. These indicators can be used to predict future economic trends and make informed decisions about investments, spending, and savings.

### Section 2: Types of Economic Indicators
There are several types of economic indicators, including:

1. Gross Domestic Product (GDP): This measures the total value of goods and services produced in a country over a certain period of time.

2. Unemployment Rate: This measures the percentage of people in the workforce who are without jobs.

3. Inflation Rate: This measures the rate at which prices for goods and services are rising.

4. Consumer Price Index (CPI): This measures the average change in prices of goods and services purchased by consumers.

5. Retail Sales: This measures the amount of money spent on retail purchases.

6. Industrial Production: This measures the output of factories and mines.

### Section 3: How to Use Economic Indicators
To use economic indicators effectively, you need to understand how they relate to each other and how they affect the economy as a whole. For example, if unemployment is high, it may lead to lower consumer spending, which could cause businesses to reduce their production and investment.

### Section 4: Practical Examples
Let's say you are considering investing in a company that produces consumer electronics. You would want to look at economic indicators like retail sales and consumer price index to see if people are buying electronics and if they are willing to pay a premium price for them. If the unemployment rate is high, it may indicate that people are not earning enough money to buy expensive items.

### Conclusion
Understanding economic indicators can help you make better financial decisions and predict future economic trends. By analyzing these indicators, you can identify opportunities and risks in the market and make informed investments.

Lesson: Understanding the Role of Social Media in the Dissemination of Medical Research

**Introduction**

Social media has become an integral part of our lives. It has revolutionized the way we communicate and share information. However, with the rise of social media platforms, there has been an increase in the spread of misinformation, particularly in the field of medicine. In this lesson, we will explore the role of social media in the dissemination of medical research and how it can impact public health.

**Section 1: Understanding the Importance of Medical Research**

Medical research is essential for advancing our knowledge about human health and developing new treatments for diseases. It involves conducting experiments and analyzing data to understand the causes and prevention of illnesses. Medical research has led to significant advancements in medicine, such as the development of vaccines and the discovery of new treatments for cancer.

**Section 2: The Role of Social Media in the Dissemination of Medical Research**

Social media has become an influential platform for sharing information. It allows people to share their experiences, opinions, and ideas with a wide audience. However, the spread of misinformation on social media can have serious consequences, particularly in the field of medicine. For example, false claims about vaccines have led to a decrease in vaccination rates and an increase in preventable diseases.

**Section 3: Analyzing the Impact of Social Media on Medical Research**

To understand the impact of social media on medical research, we can analyze the case of the 2019 e-cigarette health scare. In September 2019, several news outlets reported that vaping had caused severe lung injuries and even death. This led to a nationwide outbreak of vaping-related illnesses. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) later found that vitamin E acetate, a substance used in some e-cigarettes, was responsible for the outbreak.

To study the impact of social media on the spread of misinformation during the 2019 e-cigarette health scare, researchers analyzed tweets related to e-cigarettes and vaping. They found that there was a significant increase in the number of tweets containing misinformation about e-cigarettes and vaping during the outbreak.

**Section 4: Critical Thinking and Analysis**

As we have seen, social media can play a significant role in the dissemination of medical research. However, it can also lead to the spread of misinformation. As students, it is essential to develop critical thinking skills to analyze information on social media. When reading information on social media, ask yourself the following questions:

- Who is the author of the information?
- What is their expertise in the field?
- Is the information backed by scientific evidence or research?
- Is the information consistent with what you know about the subject?

By asking these questions, you can evaluate the credibility of the information and make informed decisions.

**Glossary**

- Misinformation: False information that is spread intentionally or unintentionally.
- Social media: Online platforms that allow users to create and share content or participate in social networking.
- Medical research: Scientific research conducted to improve our understanding of human health and develop new treatments for diseases.
- Vaping: Inhaling and exhaling the vapor produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, social media has become an essential tool for sharing information. However, it is crucial to be aware of the potential for misinformation to spread rapidly on social media platforms. By developing critical thinking skills and analyzing information, we can make informed decisions about the information we consume. This lesson has shown the importance of understanding the role of social media in the dissemination of medical research and its impact on public health.

Robert Mueller, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, never looked wearier or more at a loss than when he tangled last week with 9th District congressman Steve Cohen of Memphis on the issue of whether marijuana can be considered a "gateway" drug, leading to experimentation with harder drugs like cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamnes.

In this CNN video (below) of a Judiciary Committee hearing last week, Cohen presses his interrogation of Mueller on the issue of whether use of marijuana — the legalized medical use of which Cohen is a proponent of — leads to dependence on the more dangerous drugs. Mueller fumbled with the question, acknowledging at one point that he could cite no death attributable to marijuana use.

In the end, Cohen hazarded an answer in the negative to his own question, suggesting ironically that milk leads to beer which in turn leads to the use of bourbon.

text: Jungle January Trousers. These trousers fit so good right out of the gate! I was impressed by them. I should have added length to the pattern because they are more like cropped pants on me, but it still works. The fabric is a cotton sateen that bags out a bit when worn, unfortunately. I would like to try this pattern again in a neutral fabric with better recovery.Read More On Helen's Blog. Leave your comment. In an effort to reduce spam, you must be logged in to leave a comment.
