text: Sorry all, this is not a real blog per se (I am trying to write one but need a little time for the results of my "experiment"). In the meantime a few of my images are coming up for "disabling" due to no sales. So I have slightly extended the scope of my experiment to include an attempt to save said images.. I have collected the images about to expire in a "Last Chance" collection which includes images of the Templo de Debod in Madrid, landscapes of some vineyards around Geneva during autumn and a couple of "industrial" type images taken around a hydro-electric dam.. This collection will remain and will be available from my profile page, and we'll see if this brings any exposure to the rest of my images.. The link to the collection is Last Chance Collection.

Prince William Allows Backyard Chickens with Limitations

On April 19th 2011 the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, voted to approve the latest staff proposal for a zoning change to allow backyard chickens in Prince William County. The approved amendment incorporated some of the less stringent requirements of the Planning Commission recommendations with the earlier staff recommendations. The amendment changes the zoning and land use regulations within the county. The full text, comments and history of the amendment can be read at this link.The new zoning regulations allow the keeping of chickens, pigeons, doves and other domestic fowl on any A-1 (agricultural) zoned property of at least one acre located within a Domestic Fowl Overlay District to be created by the Board of Supervisors. In addition, on properties zoned SR-1, SR-3 and SR-5 (semirural) with a minimum of one acre by Special Use Permit within the Domestic Fowl Overlay District. The keeping of domestic fowl is not permitted outside of the Domestic Fowl Overlay District, except on A-1 zoned lots of ten acres or larger. A Domestic Fowl Overlay District was created by ordinance upon resolution of the Board of County Supervisors and aligns roughly with the Rural Crescent.The maximum number of fowl allowed is proportional to the lot size. One bird unit per acre is allowed for properties of 1 to less than 5 acres, three bird units per acre for properties of 5 to less than 10 acres. There is no limit on the number of bird units allowed on properties greater than 10 acres. A bird unit is:
10 chickens (though only one rooster per acre) or
6 ducks or
4 turkeys, geese or pea fowl or
1 ostrich or emu
20 pigeons, doves, or quail

The new fowl regulations require coops or cages and runs on any lot with less than five acres and specifies construction standards and humane areas for each bird, distance from Resource Protected Areas (RPA) under the Chesapeake Bay Act, distance from well heads. In addition, waste management for surface and groundwater protection must be established using the new Prince William Soil and Water Conservation District guidelines. These guidelines should prevent (or at least significantly reduce) contamination of the groundwater, a major drinking water supply for the area, and prevent the backyard chickens from adding contaminated runoff to the Chesapeake Bay.

As our area has become more suburban, density has increased, along with the utilization of groundwater for domestic purposes and the density of septic systems. This suburban development has increased the suburban runoff and nutrient contamination to our groundwater and the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Virginia is under a federal mandate to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment contamination to the Chesapeake Bay. The federal pollution diet requires that Virginia reduce our non-point source pollution of nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment. The only responsible way the County Supervisors could allow property owners the right to have backyard chickens was to control the waste in a way that would not add to the nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment pollution. It was appropriate and necessary for them to leverage the resource of the Prince William Soil and Water Conservation District to develop guidelines for low impact backyard chickens.
The proposed zoning change to allow backyard chickens contain limited regulations of the micro poultry “farms” to manage the waste and location of coops according to the protective separation requirements of the septic regulations. This hopefully will ensure that best management practices will be adopted by the backyard micro farmers without being unduly burdensom

No. The zoning regulations allow the keeping of chickens, pigeons, doves and other domestic fowl on any A-1 (agricultural) zoned property of at least one acre. In addition, on properties zoned SR-1, SR-3 and SR-5 (semirural) with a minimum of one acre by Special Use Permit and on parcels of 10 acres or larger.

hello Ms. Elizabeth...Is there anything we can do to get the rules changed if we live in an area not allowed to have chickens...I keep them mostly as pets...and have been raising them my entire life...and now zoning wants me to remove them...thank you

Stretching liquid bridges with moving contact lines: comparison of liquid-transfer predictions and experiments.
Transfer of liquid from one surface to another plays a key role in printing processes. During liquid transfer, a liquid bridge is formed and then undergoes significant extensional motion while its contact lines are free to move on the bounding solid surfaces. In this work, we develop one-dimensional (1D) slender-jet and two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric models of this phenomenon and compare the resulting predictions with previously published experimental data. For very low capillary numbers (Ca) (quasi-static stretching), predictions from both models of the amount of liquid transferred agree well with the experimental data, provided that the difference in receding contact angles (|Δθr|) between the two surfaces is sufficiently large. Notably, the amount of liquid transferred is primarily governed by the overall bridge shape and is not significantly influenced by contact-line motion toward the end of bridge stretching. For O(1) values of Ca, the models predict that each surface receives half the liquid, in agreement with experimental observations. For intermediate values of Ca (and very low values of Ca when |Δθr| is small enough), predictions from each model can deviate substantially from the experimental data, which we speculate is due to the influence of surface heterogeneities that are not included in the models. In this regime, there can be significant differences between the predictions of the 1D and 2D models, which is due to the tendency of the contact line to slip more in the 1D model. The models are also used to understand the influence of initial bridge shape on liquid transfer and to rationalize related experimental observations. The results from these fundamental studies will aid the optimization of gravure and other printing processes for manufacturing of printed electronic devices.

Lesson: Introduction to Liquid Transfer in Printing Processes

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Liquid transfer is a crucial process in many industries, including printing. When printing, ink is transferred from a printing plate to a piece of paper or other material. This process involves the formation of a liquid bridge between the two surfaces. In this lesson, we will explore the theoretical concepts behind liquid transfer, including the role of contact lines and the importance of bridge shape.

### Section 2: Practical Examples
To understand the practical applications of liquid transfer, let's consider an example. Suppose you are printing a book cover using ink. The ink is first transferred from the printing plate to a liquid bridge. The bridge then stretches as it moves from the plate to the cover. The amount of ink transferred depends on the shape of the bridge and the difference in receding contact angles between the two surfaces.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Now, let's consider a real-world scenario where liquid transfer is essential. Imagine you are printing a poster using a printer that uses thermal inkjet technology. The printer heats up small amounts of ink and shoots them onto the paper. The ink forms a liquid bridge between the nozzle and the paper. The shape of the bridge determines how much ink is transferred and how well the image turns out.

### Glossary
- Capillary number (Ca): A dimensionless quantity used to describe the relative importance of fluid flow and heat transfer in a system. It is defined as the ratio of the fluid velocity to a characteristic velocity (usually the terminal velocity of a droplet).
- Receding contact angle (θr): The angle between the liquid-air interface and a line perpendicular to the surface of the liquid at the point of dripping or spilling.

### Conclusion
Understanding the principles behind liquid transfer is essential for anyone working in printing or related industries. By studying the theoretical concepts, practical examples, and real-world scenarios presented in this lesson, you can gain a deeper understanding of how liquid transfer works and how to apply these skills to new problems.

Lesson: Introduction to Marine Mammals
## Section 1: Overview of Marine Mammals
Marine mammals are a unique group of animals that live in the ocean and on the coast. They are adapted to life in the water and on land. In this lesson, we will learn about some of the most common marine mammals found along the California coast, including elephant seals, Steller sea lions, harbor seals, and gray whales.
### Subsection 1.1: Elephant Seals
Elephant seals are large marine mammals that can be found on the beaches of Ano Nuevo State Reserve every winter. They come to breed and raise their young. Adult males fight each other for the rank of alpha bull, which is the most dominant male in the group. These fights can be spectacular to watch, but they are also very serious. The winner of the fight gets to mate with the most females and become the leader of the group.
### Subsection 1.2: Steller Sea Lions
Steller sea lions are another type of marine mammal found along the California coast. They are excellent swimmers and can be found in the ocean and on rocky shores. They are also very social animals and live in large groups called rookeries.
### Subsection 1.3: Harbor Seals
Harbor seals are smaller than elephant seals and Steller sea lions, but they are still important marine mammals. They are excellent swimmers and can be found in the ocean and on rocky shores. They are also very social animals and live in large groups called colonies.
### Subsection 1.4: Gray Whales
Gray whales are the largest animals on Earth and can be found along the California coast during their migration. They are excellent swimmers and can travel long distances without stopping. They are also very social animals and can be found in large groups called pods.
## Section 2: Adaptations for Life in the Water and on Land
Marine mammals have many adaptations that help them survive in the water and on land. For example, elephant seals have thick layers of blubber to keep them warm in the cold ocean water. Steller sea lions have strong front flippers that they use to catch fish and hold onto rocks. Harbor seals have soft, rubbery skin that helps them slip through the water. Gray whales have long, narrow flippers that they use to steer through the water.
## Section 3: Conservation Efforts
Conservation efforts are important to protect marine mammals and their habitats. Ano Nuevo State Reserve is an important place for conservation because it provides a safe place for elephant seals to breed and raise their young. California State Parks and San Mateo Coast Natural History Association work together to protect this special place and educate people about the importance of marine mammals.
## Glossary
- Marine mammal: an animal that lives in the ocean and on land
- Alpha bull: the most dominant male in a group of elephant seals

Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol versus apolipoprotein B in cardiovascular risk stratification: do the math.
With the emergence of new lipid risk markers and a growing cardiometabolic risk burden in the United States, there is a need to better integrate residual risk into cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk stratification. In anticipation of the Adult Treatment Panel IV (ATP IV) guidelines from the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP), there exists controversy regarding the comparative performance of the 2 foremost markers, apolipoprotein B (apoB) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), as they relate to the current standard of risk assessment and treatment: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Although some emerging markers may demonstrate better performance compared with LDL-C, certain fundamental characteristics intrinsic to a beneficial biomarker must be met prior to routine use. Collectively, studies have found that non-HDL-C and apoB perform better than LDL-C in CVD risk prediction, both on- and off-treatment, as well as in subclinical CVD risk prediction. The performance of non-HDL-C compared with apoB, however, has been a point of ongoing debate. Although both offer the practical benefits of accuracy independent of triglyceride level and prandial state, non-HDL-C proves to be the better marker of choice at this time, given established cutpoints with safe and achievable goals, no additional cost, and quick time to result with an easy mathematical calculation. The purpose of this review is to assess the performance of these parameters in this context and to discuss the considerations of implementation into clinical practice.

Lesson: Understanding Lipid Risk Markers in Cardiovascular Disease Risk Stratification

Introduction:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Risk stratification is essential for early identification and management of individuals at high risk for CVD. Lipid risk markers, such as non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (apoB), are used to estimate the risk of developing CVD. This lesson will teach you about these lipid risk markers and their role in CVD risk stratification.

Section 1: Understanding Lipid Risk Markers

Topic 1: Non-HDL-C
- Non-HDL-C is a measure of all cholesterol carried by lipoproteins except HDL-C.
- It is calculated by subtracting HDL-C from total cholesterol.
- Non-HDL-C is a significant predictor of CVD risk.

Topic 2: ApoB
- ApoB is a protein found in lipoproteins, including LDL and VLDL particles.
- It is involved in the transport of lipids in the bloodstream.
- ApoB is a better predictor of CVD risk than non-HDL-C.

Section 2: Comparing Non-HDL-C and ApoB in CVD Risk Stratification

Topic 3: Performance of Non-HDL-C and ApoB in CVD Risk Assessment
- Both non-HDL-C and apoB are useful in predicting CVD risk.
- ApoB has been shown to have a stronger association with CVD risk than non-HDL-C.
- However, non-HDL-C remains the most commonly used lipid risk marker in clinical practice.

Section 3: Integrating Lipid Risk Markers into CVD Risk Stratification

Topic 4: Importance of Fundamental Characteristics of a Beneficial Biomarker
- A beneficial biomarker should have a strong association with CVD risk.
- It should also have a favorable ratio of risk reclassification to LDL-C.
- The biomarker should be easy to measure and have a well-established treatment target.

Section 4: Conclusion

In conclusion, non-HDL-C and apoB are both useful in predicting CVD risk. ApoB has a stronger association with CVD risk than non-HDL-C. However, non-HDL-C remains the most commonly used lipid risk marker in clinical practice. To integrate lipid risk markers into CVD risk stratification, it is essential to consider the fundamental characteristics of a beneficial biomarker.

Glossary:
- Apolipoprotein B (apoB): A protein found in lipoproteins, including LDL and VLDL particles, involved in the transport of lipids in the bloodstream.
- Cardiovascular disease (CVD): A class of diseases that involve the heart and/or blood vessels.
- High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C): A type of lipoprotein that transports cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver.
- Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C): A type of lipoprotein that transports cholesterol to the arteries.
- Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C): A measure of all cholesterol carried by lipoproteins except HDL-C.
- Total cholesterol: The sum of all cholesterol in the body, including HDL-C, LDL-C, and VLDL-C.

Conclusion:
Understanding lipid risk markers, such as non-HDL-C and apoB, is crucial for effective CVD risk stratification. By integrating these markers into clinical practice, healthcare providers can identify individuals at high risk for CVD earlier and initiate appropriate treatment strategies.

### Importance of analyzing performance
Analyzing performance in sports is essential for identifying strengths and weaknesses, setting goals, and making informed decisions about training and competition strategies. By understanding how well athletes are performing, coaches can make adjustments to improve their team's chances of success.

### Types of data to collect
There are several types of data that can be collected during a sporting event or practice session. These include:

1. Statistical data: This includes information such as the number of shots taken, passes completed, and goals scored.
2. Physiological data: This refers to measurements such as heart rate, oxygen consumption, and lactic acid levels.
3. Technical data: This includes observations about an athlete's technique, such as their running form or swing mechanics.
4. Psychological data: This refers to information about an athlete's mental state, such as their confidence level or stress level.

### Tools for data collection
There are several tools available to collect data during sports performances. These include:

1. Video analysis software: This tool allows coaches to record and analyze video footage of their athletes in action.
2. Heart rate monitors: These devices measure an athlete's heart rate during exercise, providing valuable information about their physiological state.
3. GPS tracking devices: These devices track an athlete's movements during practice or competition, providing data on speed, distance covered, and acceleration.
4. Wearable sensors: These devices measure biometric data such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, and skin temperature.

### How to analyze data
Once data has been collected, it must be analyzed to identify patterns and trends. This can be done using statistical software or by manually reviewing the data. Some common analysis techniques include:

1. Descriptive statistics: This involves calculating measures such as mean, median, and standard deviation to describe the data.
2. Inferential statistics: This involves using statistical tests to determine if there are significant differences between groups or over time.
3. Visualization: This involves creating graphs and charts to help visualize the data and identify trends.

### Strategies for improvement
Once data has been analyzed, it can be used to develop strategies for improvement. These may include:

1. Setting specific goals: Based on the data, coaches can set achievable goals for their athletes to work towards.
2. Adjusting training programs: Based on the data, coaches can modify training programs to address areas of weakness or to optimize performance.
3. Providing feedback: Coaches can use the data to provide constructive feedback to their athletes, helping them to improve their technique or mental approach.
4. Monitoring progress: Regular data collection and analysis can help coaches track their athletes' progress and make adjustments as needed.

### Conclusion
By collecting and analyzing data, coaches can gain valuable insights into their athletes' performance and make informed decisions about training and competition strategies. This can help teams and athletes achieve their full potential and improve their chances of success.

Lesson: How to Read Hotel Reviews

Introduction:
Hotel reviews are an essential tool when choosing a place to stay while traveling. They provide valuable information about the quality of service, cleanliness, comfort, and overall experience of staying at a particular hotel. In this lesson, we will learn how to read hotel reviews effectively to make informed decisions about where to stay.

Section 1: Understanding Hotel Reviews

Topic 1: Types of Hotel Reviews

Hotel reviews come in different forms, including written text, photos, videos, and ratings. Written reviews provide detailed descriptions of the hotel's amenities, services, and overall experience. Photos give you a visual representation of the hotel's appearance and surroundings. Ratings, on the other hand, provide a quick summary of the hotel's quality based on customer feedback.

Topic 2: Reading Between the Lines

When reading hotel reviews, it's essential to read between the lines and understand the context behind each review. Positive reviews may be biased if the reviewer has a personal connection to the hotel or the management. Negative reviews may be exaggerated or unjustified if the reviewer had unrealistic expectations or encountered a minor issue.

Topic 3: Identifying Key Information

To get the most out of hotel reviews, identify the key information that matters most to you. For example, if you're concerned about cleanliness, look for reviews that mention cleanliness issues. If you value comfort, look for reviews that mention comfortable beds or rooms.

Section 2: Analyzing Hotel Reviews

Topic 1: Comparing Reviews

Comparing hotel reviews from different sources can provide a more accurate picture of the hotel's quality. Look for reviews from trusted sources such as travel websites, blogs, and forums. Compare the reviews to identify common themes and patterns.

Topic 2: Evaluating Credibility

Evaluate the credibility of the reviews by considering factors such as the reviewer's profile, the date of the review, and the number of reviews left by the reviewer. A review left by a verified traveler with a detailed profile and multiple reviews is likely to be more credible than a one-time reviewer without a profile.

Topic 3: Analyzing Ratings

Ratings provide a quick summary of the hotel's quality, but they don't always tell the whole story. Analyze the ratings by looking at the distribution of stars or points. A hotel with a rating of 3.5 out of 5 may have some negative reviews, but it could still be a good option if the majority of reviews are positive.

Section 3: Applying Hotel Reviews

Topic 1: Using Reviews to Make Decisions

Use hotel reviews to make informed decisions about where to stay. Compare the reviews of different hotels to identify the best option based on your preferences and needs. Consider factors such as location, price, amenities, and services when making your decision.

Topic 2: Addressing Concerns

If you find negative reviews about a hotel you're considering, address the concerns raised in the reviews. Contact the hotel's management to clarify any misunderstandings or to ask for clarification on specific issues. This shows that you're serious about your stay and can help address any potential issues before they arise.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, reading hotel reviews effectively can help you make informed decisions about where to stay while traveling. By understanding the different types of reviews, reading between the lines, identifying key information, comparing reviews, evaluating credibility, analyzing ratings, and applying reviews to make decisions, you can choose a hotel that meets your needs and expectations.

They are revitalizing our area which means bringing in a lot of new businesses within walking distance which is really nice.. Kira’s closet is going to expand. 😀. True 🙂. It’s extremely difficult to “not worry” about what others may think about you. It’s so easy to say the words: “I don’t care what others think.” But I imagine along with myself that deep down most people who say this, especially those who say it a lot do care. It’s not an easy world and never will be.. On a lighter note. When I lived in the states, I loved shopping in Ross! 🙂. True,. And Ross rocks! 🙂

Lesson: Introduction to Stock Market Investment

## Section 1: What is Stock Market Investment?

Stock market investment refers to the act of buying and selling shares of publicly traded companies on a stock exchange. It allows individuals and institutions to invest in businesses they believe will grow and make profits. The more the company grows, the more valuable its shares become, and investors can sell them for a profit.

## Section 2: How does Stock Market Investment work?

Stock market investment involves buying shares of a company when the price is low and selling them when the price is high. This is known as "buy low, sell high." The price of a share is determined by the forces of supply and demand. When many people want to buy a share, the price goes up. When many people want to sell a share, the price goes down.

Companies issue shares to raise money to expand their businesses or fund new projects. Investors buy these shares hoping that the company will grow and its value will increase over time. They can then sell their shares for a profit if they think the price has gone up enough.

## Section 3: Why do Companies Issue Shares?

Companies issue shares to raise money to expand their businesses or fund new projects. When a company issues shares, it means that it is allowing people to own a part of its business. These people are called shareholders, and they own a certain percentage of the company based on how many shares they own.

## Section 4: Risks and Rewards of Stock Market Investment

Investing in the stock market can be risky because the value of shares can go down as well as up. If a company's performance is poor, its share price may drop, and investors could lose money. However, if a company performs well and its share price rises, investors can make a profit.

The rewards of stock market investment can be significant if an investor chooses the right companies to invest in and holds onto their shares for the long term. Over time, the value of shares in successful companies can grow, and investors can earn a lot of money.

## Section 5: Conclusion

Stock market investment can be a great way to grow wealth over time, but it also comes with risks. It's essential to research companies before investing in them and to have a long-term investment strategy. By understanding how the stock market works and being patient, investors can build wealth and achieve financial freedom.
