dc.description.abstract 硼是植物維持正常生長所必須的微量要素,植物從土壤可攝取硼的多寡,取決於土壤溶液中的硼濃度高低,因此,維持土壤溶液中硼介於足夠植物生長且不至於引起硼毒害的濃度是很重要的。硼吸附-脫附反應主導了硼在土壤中固、液相的分布。硼對植物的有效性除了受土壤性質影響,同時也受施用石灰、肥料或有機質等管理手段的影響,施用石灰導致土壤pH上升而增加土壤對硼的吸附,進而降低了硼的有效性。因此,本研究旨在探討(1)在紅壤中影響硼吸附-脫附的因子;(2)pH對吸附性硼的可逆脫附的影響;以及(3)施用堆肥對土壤吸附-脫附硼的影響。
本試驗選取五種細質地的紅壤,測定在不同pH處理的等溫吸附曲線,在結束硼吸附試驗後,立即以連續稀釋法進行脫附試驗,吸附-脫附數據皆很適合以Freundlich方程式描述。發現紅壤的黏粒、游離氧化鐵、游離氧化鋁、無定形氧化鋁含量較高時,土壤對硼有較高的吸附量。當土壤pH升高時,土壤吸附硼量明顯的增多,尤其以Ca(OH)2取代NaOH調整土壤pH,土壤能夠吸附更多的硼。
土壤的脫附數據分別以傳統表示法與時間依賴表示法呈現土壤等溫脫附曲線,在土壤原有的pH,硼脫附有明顯的遲滯現象,以傳統表示法所得的遲滯係數ndes/nads與λtrad和土壤有機碳含量呈現顯著正相關,而與游離氧化鐵、鋁成顯著負相關。當pH增加時,可觀察到遲滯現象逐漸縮減,吸附性硼變得容易脫附,這個發現或許是因為硼吸附反應與調高pH會增加吸附表面的負電荷,土壤溶液中的B(OH)3為一路易士酸受到負電荷吸引而與表面吸附位置形成外圈錯合物,此種吸附鍵結強度較配位交換鍵結弱,所以被吸附的硼很容易被釋出。
選用龍崗系、老埤系、坡堵系與淡水系土壤添加0、2.5、5、10%的蔗渣堆肥或雞糞堆肥的試驗結果顯示:除了老埤系5%蔗渣堆肥處理土壤對硼的吸附量降低,龍崗系、坡堵系與淡水系土壤,硼的吸附量會隨著蔗渣堆肥施用量增加而有上升的情形。而2.5%雞糞堆肥處理使得四種試驗土壤對硼的吸附量增加,或許是因為添加雞糞堆肥提昇土壤的pH,而有機質或黏土礦物對硼的吸附皆會隨著pH增加而增加,因此,施用有機質所造成土壤pH改變應該是影響硼吸附的重要因子。至於更高的雞糞堆肥施用量所產生的影響則因試驗土壤不同而有所差異。龍崗系土壤硼吸附量會隨著雞糞堆肥施用量增加而略有增加;10%雞糞堆肥處理使得坡堵系與淡水系土壤硼吸附量降低,推測是因有機質的添加導致遮蔽了吸附位置。添加堆肥土壤的硼脫附結果,土壤在低蔗渣堆肥添加量2.5%處理下,土壤脫附硼的遲滯現象有些微的增加,隨著堆肥添加量增加,遲滯係數ndes/nads與λtrad逐漸降低,被土壤吸附的硼能夠較容易被釋出。施用雞糞堆肥的四種土壤,硼脫附的遲滯現象明顯地比未施用雞糞堆肥小。
相對地,以次氯酸鈉去除龍崗系土壤的有機質,發現去除有機質的土壤硼吸附量有大幅度的增加,推論雖然移除有機質會減少土壤中硼的吸附位置,但也因此將原本被有機質遮覆的吸附位置裸露出來,因此增加了硼的吸附。去除有機質土壤對硼的脫附有遲滯現象,但是已去除有機質土壤與未去除有機質土壤有相近的遲滯係數,似乎在同一pH有機質存在與否對硼脫附的難易並沒有很大的影響。
由本論文結果可知,pH的變化是影響土壤供硼狀態最重要的因子,無論是考慮以添加石灰物質改善紅壤pH,或是添加有機質至紅壤改善土壤的理化性質,都必須考慮pH的變化所導致土壤溶液中硼濃度的變動,以適時適量的補充硼肥。 zh_TW
dc.description.abstract Boron is an essential micronutrient for plant growth. The uptake of B by plants depends mainly on B concentration in soil solutions. It is important to maintain B levels in soil solutions that are sufficient for plant uptake but nontoxic. Adsorption-desorption process governs B distribution between adsorbed and liquid phase. Boron availability to plants depends on soil properties as well as management practice like liming, fertilization and use of organic matters. The increase in soil pH associated with liming could also result in an increase in B retention by the soils and consequently a lower B availability. Therefore, the objectives of the study are on: (1) the factors affecting B adsorption-desorption in five red soils; (2) the effect of pH on the reversibility of adsorbed B; (3) the effect of compost application on B adsorption and the reversibility of adsorbed B.
In this study, boron adsorption and desorption as a function of B concentration and pH were measured in five fine-textured red soils. Immediately after adsorption of B, four consecutive desorption steps were carried out by successive dilution. The sorption results were described well by the Freundlich equation (P<0.01). Boron adsorption capacity increased as soil contains higher amounts of clay, free Fe2O3, free Al2O3, and amorphous Al2O3。Boron adsorption increased markedly as pH increased. This increase was more pronounced when Ca(OH)2, as opposed to NaOH, was used for pH adjustment.
The presentation of desorption data was based on the traditional isotherm approach and on the time-dependent isotherms. Apparent hysteresis was observed that both derivational families of desorption isotherms deviated from the adsorption isotherm for the five soils at their original pH. Moreover, hysteresis coefficients, ndes/nads and λtrad for the traditional approach, had a positive correlation with organic carbon content, but they had a negative correlation with free Fe2O3 and free Al2O3 contents. As pH increased, the hysteresis diminished, and adsorbed B became more reversible. This finding may be due to the fact that B adsorption and raising pH increase the negative charge on the surface, the outer-sphere boric acid complexes formed based on the Lewis acidity of the B metal center. Unlike the strong binding by ligand exchange reaction, the physically-bound boric acid may more readily return to the soil solution when solution concentrations decrease.
Adsorption-desorption of B was investigated in Lunkang, Laopi, Potu, and Tansui soils receiving varying doses of sugarcane compost (SC) or chicken manure compost (CM) (0, 2.5, 5, 10%). Application of sugarcane compost increased B adsorption in Lungkang, Potu, and Tansui soils except for the decreasing B adsorption in Laopi soil with 5% SC amendment. Application of 2.5% chicken manure compost considerably increased pH and B adsorption in the four soils. Because B adsorption on humus or clay minerals is pH-dependent, higher pH might be an important factor improving B adsorption. The effects of higher rate of chicken manure compost on B adsorption are different for the soils. Boron adsorption by Lungkang soil slightly increased as the rate of chicken manure compost increased. Boron adsorption by Potu and Tansui soils decreased with 10% CM amendment. This decrease might be due to the adsorption sites were occluded by organic matter. The degree of hysteresis slightly increased with 2.5% SC amendment. Hysteresis coefficients, ndes/nads and λtrad, decreased with a higher application rate of sugarcane compost, indicated adsorbed B became more reversible. The degree of hysteresis apparently decreased with the amendment with chicken manure compost.
The amount of B adsorbed was considerably greater after the organic matter had been removed from Lungkang soil by NaOCl. It suggested that a portion of adsorption sites are generally coated or occluded by organic matter and become available for B adsorption after removal of the organic matter. Boron desorption showed a hysteretic trend in the treated soil. But little effect of the presence of organic matter in hysteretic desorption was observed compared to the soil without organic matter removal at similar pH.
In conclusion, pH is the most important factor in determining B availability in soil solution. The changes of pH must be taken into consideration before liming or application of organic matter, and consequently the B status in soil solution must be satisfied by B fertilization in adequate concentration for plant growth. en

If you're just now joining us, you can read the rest of the inalienable rights series starting here.
In this post, I'll finish this series by addressing some common misconceptions about inalienable rights. If anyone has further questions, feel free to post them in the comments below. My husband and I are planning to write a book on this topic and welcome any input.
I've been surprised at the number of posts online that attempt to distinguish between inalienable and unalienable rights. There is no difference. The word inalienable and the word unalienable mean exactly the same thing.
Historically speaking, the idea of a single correct spelling of a word is quite a new phenomenon. Today, English is standardized so that each word has a correct usage and spelling. However, the English language has a long and complicated history, and the process of standardizing words took a long time. Prior to the widespread use of dictionaries, there were often multiple spellings of words that could be considered correct, and people often used the one they preferred.
Even dictionary.com realizes that these two words have the same meaning. It gives the definition of inalienable as "not alienable; not transferable to another or capable of being repudiated: inalienable rights." Its definition for unalienable is simply "inalienable." Both words have the same meaning. This is a case where either prefix may be used. Jefferson used unalienable in the Declaration of Independence so there is historical significance to that spelling. I prefer the term inalienable because it is generally accepted as the more correct spelling.
An infringement or violation of a person's rights occurs when an entity disregards those rights and acts in violation of them. For example, if someone steals my car (to which I have an alienable right), they have not removed my right to my car. I am still the rightful owner. Until I voluntarily sell or give the car to someone else or abandon it, the car is rightfully mine. If someone steals it, they have infringed upon my right to use my car. They are treating the car as if they had a right to it that they do not have, and they have prevented me from using my car in the way I choose. They have not, however, taken away my right to my car. Only I can do that.
In the case of inalienable rights, I cannot even give up those rights if I wished to. Thus, if someone were to murder me, they would not have removed my right to life, but simply violated it. Similarly, if government were to say that I will be sold as a slave, they would not have thereby taken away my right to liberty, but infringed upon it. My rights to life and liberty will always be mine and cannot be taken away. Infringement of rights is morally wrong. Thus, a just government will always recognize and protect the rights of the people. If government tries to infringe upon the rights of the people, it does not deny the people their rights, it merely violates them and makes itself an invalid government (at least for that action).
This distinction, of having rights violated rather than removed, is important. Inalienable rights cannot be given up or transferred under any circumstances, and alienable rights can only be given up or transferred by the person holding them. If government (or any other entity) can really take away or transfer our rights (whether alienable or inalienable) to another, then they are not really "rights" after all. They are nothing more than privileges, and we hold them only at the whim of government.
Many people confuse rights with privileges. Privileges are those specific things which a person does not have an inherent right to do, but is allowed to do. A privilege is granted by permission from an authority and can be restricted or revoked by that same authority. A privilege is usually given to a select group. If a mother gives her child permission to watch television, that is a privilege. No child has a right to watch TV. It is something that may be granted to a child and can be revoked by the parent at any time.
Rights, on the other hand, cannot be taken away from the person who holds them. An inalienable right is something that a person inherently has by virtue of being human. Inalienable rights are thus universal (all people have them) and permanent (cannot be given up or taken away). Alienable rights are not universal, but unlike privileges, they cannot be revoked by another. They can only be voluntarily given up by the one who holds them. While privileges require permission, a person does not need anyone's permission to exercise his rights.
Of course, people have the inalienable right to liberty, which means they have a right to freely choose their actions within the scope of their rights. They have the right to choose to do anything they have a right or privilege to do, without coercion. Remember, however, that the right to liberty is different than an individual liberty. Individual liberties are possible things that a person can do and each one is an alienable right, meaning that it can be voluntarily given up. When no law has made an action illegal and the action does not infringe upon anyone's rights, the action falls within the realm of possible free choices that can be made under the right to liberty. However, when a law is made within a representative government that limits an action (and as long as that law does not violate anyone's inalienable rights), that action has been freely given up by the person (through his representatives) and is no longer something that he has a right to freely choose to do. When an action is limited in this way and government grants permission for some people to engage in that action, it becomes a privilege.
So, for example, the choice to drive a car on public roads (which is an alienable right) has been freely given up by the citizens of the United States through laws made by their representatives. Government then grants the privilege of driving on public roads to select individuals (those who have a driver's license) under certain circumstances (when there is car insurance on the vehicle and traffic rules are obeyed).
In summary, an inalienable right, since it cannot be given up or transferred for any reason, can never be rightfully limited by government or made a privilege. Alienable rights may be given up or transferred by the one who holds them, but cannot be removed by any other entity.
That wraps up the inalienable rights series. However, that is certainly not the last I will write on the subject. Stay tuned for a number of posts on the applications of these concepts to various issues. In coming weeks, I will be covering the inalienable rights perspective on abortion, marriage, prostitution, illegal drugs, Supreme Court cases, current events, and many others.
Do atheists have inalienable rights?
Of course they do. It's just that their worldview doesn't support that - which is one of evidences that they're wrong.

This Christmas, to mark Marco's passage to manhood, will be different." — Darwin Ellis, Books on the Common, Ridgefield, CT

Those special ladies that brought you into this world have one of the toughest jobs possible. They are there each and every day to help you with your problems, take care of you when you're sick, offer advice when you need it, and provide a shoulder to cry on when life gets you down.
Much like your mother, Gravitate's Client Service team is here to help you whenever you need it, in whatever way we can.

With Mother's Day right around the corner, what better way to celebrate than giving you the top reasons why your website service team is just like your mother.
It seems like kids are always getting sick or injured. Fever, Flu, skinned knees, bumps, bruises—it's a wonder sometimes that we even make it to adulthood. But your mom was always there to kiss an "owie," put a bandaid on your cuts, and prepare the greatest remedy of all: chicken noodle soup.

Our Client Service team is always there to help protect your site's security, fix code errors, and remove harmful viruses and malware. We take care of your site so that it can function properly and play its vital role in helping your customer base grow strong and healthy.
Moms seem to be masters at remembering everything for their kids. Your blood type, Social Security number, favorite foods, favorite toys, what time your soccer practice is over, when your project is due. And they often do this for multiple children. Being able to fit all of that information in their brain is a truly remarkable feat.
We will do the same for your site. Hosting your site on our reliable servers, keeping track of your login information, and backing up your site files. We make sure that you have peace of mind and don't have to worry about accidentally deleting information, or forgetting your logins.
When that math problem became too tough, who was there to help you carry the 1? When you were writing that English paper, who checked your spelling and grammar? When you were building your science project, who helped you build that baking soda volcano?
We're there for you and your site in just the same way. We routinely audit your site for spelling, grammar, readability, and general user flow. We help with creating new pages and editing site content. We design graphics, tweak site artwork, and rescale pictures.
Mother knows best. A three word phrase that couldn't be truer.
When you need advice on how to deal with your teachers, the first person you go to is Mom. After that break up, the first shoulder you cry belongs to Mommy. Heck, whenever you need to just have someone to talk to, who you gonna call? Your Mother, buster.
Our Client Service team is there for you in the same way. Whenever you need site support we are available to troubleshoot your issues. If your site has an emergency, we are just an email or phone call away to get it back to tip-top shape. Need advice on how to improve your site's user experience or page speed?

Well…..almost anything. We don't offer a shoulder to cry on.
For that, you'll have to go to Mom.

bags and focus more on just fishing.
I think limiting ones options can be a good way to help learn a particular bait or technique.
If you only bring 2 or 3 choices, then that's all you can fish.
On the other side of the coin, I've had many trips where I started out with several rigs at the ready, only to fish with the first one I picked up - all day.
Those are usually good days though.
The only time I've limited myself is when I am fishing my neighborhood lake and will only take 2 rods with me and enough tackle to fill a backpack. I find that it limits my changing of baits. I also told myself I am going to learn how to fish a jig, because I have zero confidence in it (still never caught a jig fish). I took only one rod, a jig tied on, and a pair of needlenose with me. 2nd cast, I broke off the jig.
I usually stick to just 3 to 4 baits/lures. Always have some kind of crankbait, lipless or square bill. Always some kind of soft plastic, usually a wacky rigged senko. Always have a chatterbait. In the summer I will always have a topwater bait, usually an Ish's Phat Frog. Depending on the time of year and type of water I'll try a spinner bait.
May sound like a lot but I'll have a pole rigged with each so I can just switch poles quick and fish. I can cover a ton of water this way.
When i bank fish I carry very little and only one rod and reel combo . Mobility is important and I want to spend as much time fishing as I can .
I may bring several options in the truck, but only walk the bank with a couple things. I don't usually take much more than will fit in my chest pack. If I feel like I need something different, I make a trip back to the truck and reequip.
Since I mostly fish small pond and lakes and only bring 2 rods I think I would rather spend time fishing and less time thinking about and changing to all kinds of baits. Although like most fisherman I love buying baits. I am going to give it a shot and see what happens.
Nothing upsets me more than being on the other side of a pond and not having the lure I need. Sometimes you lose your lure and need to tie one back on right away. Since I trout fish a decent amount I make sure I have what I need with me because I may get pretty far from my vehicle so I have a tackle backpack. I also carry at least two poles with me when bank fishing.
I miss so many fish that fear is long gone. ?. I just like having bait caster and a spinning rod.
If your determined to learn a new method using a new lure, stick with that for at least a while and try to gain confidence with it. There's a reason professional anglers stack their boat with 20 setups and that's because time wasted re-tying or changing lures is valuable fishing time that their lure is not in the water.
I think what is happening with me is that because I have been trying so many techniques and lures I have not really mastered any of them. If I limit myself I can get good at a couple techniques and then move on from there.
I tend to limit myself when 1) I don't have a convenient way to bring everything and 2)I know the water. Two extreme examples - when I fish out of my boat I bring more gear with me than I do on vacation. Big Plano Guide Series bag full of boxes and then loose boxes stuffed in various compartments and yet more boxes and packages left in the truck. Opposite end - I have access to without a doubt the best bank fishing ponds in the county at my work, and you need an employee badge to get back there so they will most likely stay that way. I've worked here 21 years, I've fished here that long, and they are small bodies of water. To say I know them would be putting in mildly. There I will most often take my rod and reel with me and nothing else.
I also became a minimalist fly fishing for trout. I visited an area of Southwest Wisconsin for years as a tourist and bought attack the streams with a vest just full of boxes and everything. I clanked when I walked. Then I lived there for a few years, right up the ridge from a blue ribbon stream, and spent enough time on the water to where I figured it out pretty well. I would do the River Runs Through it Thing and just stick a few flies in my hat and head down to the stream. I don't ever remember not having what I needed, even though I barely had anything with me.
I think in general people probably error on the side of too much junk and too much complication, so if you are wondering what to do I'd lean toward simplicity.
I agree with @A-Jay.I bring 2-3 setups with me.Depending on what time of year and what the fish are hitting determines my gear for that day.Or if i want to learn something ill bring 1 setup and just the baits ill need for that rig.If in in a slump I bring my spinning pole and 2-3 packs of worms.Use the K.I.S.S. method.Learn what baits work on your waters and most importantly WHEN they work.Its all gravy after that.
If I'm on the bank I carry 2-4 rods and whatever tackle fits in my pockets. If I'm in my yak it's the same amount of rods and a small tackle bag with the essentials.
As I mentioned in a previous thread bank fishing is about accessibility.
Some ponds I fish have well manicured lawns around them while other ponds, creeks, marshes are located in more remote areas.
The areas I select to fish determine what I carry!
Every year I tell myself to limit what I bring. I try really, really hard....and always fail. I wish I could simplify my approach....sigh...maybe next time.
Limiting tackle (and rod) options are part of my 2017 strategy. And I'm a boat fisherman.
I've been out 2 times this year (it's early here in Ohio) but both times I've limited myself to 5 types of lures and 5 rods. Granted that's not a meager selection but when I'm used to having enough storage on my boat for everything and anything I'd want, it does feel a bit skinny.
2) I actually end up using only 2 or maybe 3 combos all day anyway.
It's been a good learning experience and has mostly forced me to do my homework up front - prepare for the lake, the conditions, the likely fish seasonal patterns - to be a much more efficient and effective angler.
Part of "downsizing" was a learning process. Over the years I learned what works year after year, day after. So now I carry the "basics" and sprinkle in some new stuff every season. Only once in a while does one of the new wizz bang items make the final cut.
Even my reduced rod/reel, and bait selection can cover the water from the bank to the abyss, from cold water to summer, and any weather and watery clarity conditions I may see.
I am NOT the guy tackle mfgs. market stuff to.
I bought a small softsided plano tackle bag. It fits up to 4 plano utility boxes inside or 1 box and 4 gulp jar baits in an included tackle rack. some extra pockets hold my pliers, nippers, wacky rig tool, hook-eze and tape measure.
I limit myself to this bag with 2 boxes and several bags of soft plastics inside. I fill it with baits and terminal tackle based on the fishing I am doing that day, bank fishing small ponds or canoeing a large lake or river.
I went through my backpack and made one plano with lures and terminal tackle and a zip lock with a few soft plastics. Going to bring the couple lures I use often and one new one to try out.
I fish a lot of swim and glide baits, so I generally only take one with me.and one rod. I hate changing baits/rigs all day. I fish how I like and I've been fishing this way for about 5 years, and I enjoy it. I don't really care about numbers (I'm lyin, sometimes I just wanna catch "something",lol) but fishing a particular method takes a whole lotta determination! It's got less frustrating over the years but I've learned I'm fishing for myself not to impress nobody on the shoreline.it really pays off in the end when you hook up on your terms. I still fish other ways occasionally but even then I still will only take a square bill and/or a good top water. I own a ton of baits but always select one or two and call it a day.
I'm the opposite. I own 17 freshwater rods (20 including fly fishing) and my boat's rod rack holds 8. I usually fill all 8 slots and sometmes bring one or two more.
I have a HUGE tackle box with a few of nearly every type of lure. I had to get a second tackle box for just pastics. Yes, I'm a lure hound. Descriptions of "irresistable action" make the lure irresistable more to me than to the fish. In reality, I use maybe 15-20 of those lures consistently.
The only time I dig deeper is when the fish are not biting on my usuals. However I find that if they aren't hitting on my usuals, they won't hit anything I throw at them. I think the times that you will find the one "golden" lure that will work when nothing else does are incredibly rare.
I do have a small, pared down tacklebox of "essentials" that I use when shore fishing, fish from my canoe or bring camping, and limit myself to 2 or 3 rods. Times when it would be impractical to bring the big box and a quiver of rods.
You can look at the water and make decisions on a few lures that will effectively fish it all . Lots of times I've just taken one lure .

Sten Krävenberg (original Chisel McSue) är en av Joakim von Ankas antagonister i disneyserierna, och skapades av Carl Barks 1953.

Sten Krävenberg debuterade i Barks' "Farbror Joakim måste betala en gammal skuld" ("The Horseradish Story", Här gör Krävenberg anspråk på Joakims förmögenhet, efter att ha upptäckt en oförrätt mellan deras respektive förfäder på 1700-talet – kapten Havbard von Anka dog utan att ha återbetalat en skuld till Sten Knipeslug Krävenberg (Swindle McSue).

Varken Barks eller hans samtida kollegor återanvände Krävenberg, men sedan 1980 har han medverkat i ett knappt tiotal danska disneyserier, ofta som medlem av Ankeborgs Miljardärsklubb, och konkurrent till såväl Joakim som Guld-Ivar Flinthjärta. Den första av dessa serier var "Knut den Brutales stridsyxa" ("Canute The Brute's Battle Axe", med manus av Jørgen Fogedby, Lars Bergström och Tom Anderson och bild av Vicar.

Till skillnad från många andra Barks-skurkar så fick Krävenberg aldrig någon egentlig comeback i Don Rosas produktion – han gör dock ett mindre framträdande i en ruta i "Åter till Avskyvärld" ("Return to Plain Awful").

Amidst Security Concerns, Group Publishes Drone Code of Conduct
The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) on Monday published its own code of conduct.
By Stephanie Mlot
July 5, 2012 12:08PM EST
Rather than leaving the safety of unmanned drones in the government's hands, the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) on Monday published its own code of conduct.
The move comes after a University of Texas at Austin professor and his team of researchers were able to hack into a GPS-guided drone, gaining the ability to guide it to another location, or even crash it into the ground.
The guidelines are meant for people who design, test, and operate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for public and civil use; it recommends when unmanned aircraft can be flown, and by whom, in an effort to minimize risk.
By adopting the code, users and manufacturers commit to "safety, professionalism, and respect" with promises that UAS will be piloted only by properly trained individuals and only after a thorough assessment of associated risks, like weather conditions and crew fitness. It also requires users to cooperate with all federal, state, and local authorities in response to emergency deployments and investigations.
"By proactively adhering to these guidelines, we want to demonstrate how the rights of individuals and the safety of all users of civil airspace are our top priority, as we work to unlock the incredible potential this technology holds," AUVSI CEO Michael Toscano said in a statement.
Formerly, the biggest UAS concerns were focused on blocking access to the drone's GPS signals, or jamming. With the advent of spoofing technology, the Federal Aviation Administration may have more cause for concern, especially since Congress in February ordered the FAA Modernization and Reform Act, which requires integration of drones into the public and private U.S. airspace by September 2015.
Unmanned aircraft systems allow individuals to execute dangerous and often difficult tasks safely and efficiently, AUVSI said, be it aiding search and rescue efforts or navigating through airspace too hazardous for humans.
"UAS are capable of saving time, saving money and most importantly, saving lives," the association said.

Here's How Much Synthetic Dye U.S. Kids Consume Daily: 2,000 Gallons
Kind's eye-opening display launches anti-coloring crusade
The activation comes after Kind Fruit Bites were discontinued, reportedly due to consumer preference for artificially colored snacks. Kind
By David Griner
How do you turn a retail failure into a branded crusade?
For Kind, the answer is in the discontinuation of its Kind Fruit Bites, which the company blames on a consumer preference for artificially colored gummy-like treats. "After just two years in the market," Kind announced in a statement, "the company has decided to remove the product from shelves as kids regretfully prefer to eat fruit snacks that resembled candy gems versus the dried, whole fruit that Kind uses in its products."
Rather than just pulling the unpopular product off shelves and moving on to the next snack idea, Kind opted to launch a campaign against synthetic dyes in packaged foods—especially in those targeted at children.
"Synthetic dyes are controversial and add no nutritional value to children's diets," says Stephanie Csaszar, a registered dietician who serves as Kind's in-house health and wellness expert. "Typically, vibrant colors positively correlate to a food's nutrition and taste quality; however, synthetic dyes counteract this thinking. The food industry uses them to their advantage to enhance visual appeal, enticing children into eating them and parents into buying them."
To highlight the 2,000 estimated gallons of artificial food dye consumed daily by U.S. children (per a 2014 analysis published in Clinical Pediatrics), Kind poured an equal amount of coloring into giant test tubes and put them on display this week in New York's Herald Square.
The activation was created by agency Bankrobber, a sister company of Brooklyn-based Madwell.
The brand says that such dyes are now used in 95% of fruit snacks, 86% of frozen breakfasts, 57% of fruit/pudding cups, and 39% of chips and crackers.
While Kind Bars have proven consistently popular for the brand, its extension into fruit snacks did not catch on with consumers. Kind says its products, which are still available for order online via the brand's site, were the only fruit snacks on the market that didn't use artificial dyes.
"Since Day 1, Kind has been committed to balancing health and taste and adhering to our Kind Promise to craft snacks with a nutritionally dense first ingredient," says founder and executive chairman Daniel Lubetzky in a statement. "When we launched Kind Fruit Bites, we were unwavering in our decision to not use synthetic dyes in an effort to elevate the current fruit snacks category. Our unsettling discovery of the issue at hand compelled us to act and educate parents on the use of dyes in their kids' foods so that they can make more informed eating decisions."

The Hearts of Men by Nickolas Butler
Butler (Beneath the Bonfire) returns to rural Wisconsin in this big-hearted epic full of sturdy characters that wear their hearts—and pride—on their sleeves. Told in four parts spanning from 1962 to 2022 and set against the woodsy backdrop of a Boy Scout summer camp, Camp Chippewa, the narrative follows three generations struggling to find their place in a world bent on dealing them a bad hand. In the first section, 13-year-old social outcast Nelson finds little comfort as the camp's bullied bugler while dealing with conflicted feelings about his abusive father. A tentative friendship formed with cocky older Jonathan saves Nelson's hide more than once while also demonstrating the limits of just how much Jonathan can give. Part two narrows in on 49-year-old Jonathan's 16-year-old son, Trevor, falling in love with Rachel, as well as his front-row seat to Jonathan's marriage-busting affair on the way to Camp Chippewa. The slow-burn heartbreak continues in the two final sections. Once-widowed and twice-divorced Rachel makes an ill-fated decision to accompany her and Trevor's son, Thomas, on his last summer as a Boy Scout. In a fiery conclusion, Nelson and Jonathan reunite after more than 20 years—wealthy and reclusive Jonathan is now a grandfather, and Nelson is about to retire as Camp Chippewa Scoutmaster. Butler demonstrates enormous command over the material and sympathy for his flawed characters. This beautiful novel might be his best yet. (Mar.)

Benjamin Wiederkehr Notes
Goodbye coUNDco
This was my last month at coUNDco.
For the past year (and some more before that) I've worked with these fine people on all sorts of exciting projects. I've learned a ton about myself, the way agencies work, dealing with clients, and developing web experiences in the real world — a world that has timelines and budgets and limited resources and other potential pitfalls. coUNDco offered me the most enjoyable job imaginable right after my studies, and I think joining them was exactly the right move for me one year ago. But now, it's time to move on.
There were a lot of factors influencing my decision. I enjoyed my role as an Interface Designer at coUNDco, but also wanted to get involved in the strategy and concept process much earlier than I typically did. Having direct contact with a client can be challenging sometimes, but I enjoy bouncing ideas back and forth and developing holistic concepts. Combine this with my untamable ambitions for creating the highest quality of work, mix in two exceptionally smart friends of mine and add a shared business idea and the outcome is Interactive Things — my dream, my motive power and now my workplace starting January 2010. Christian, Jeremy and I conceptualize, design and develop interactive media solutions. With a field of work ranging from Web to Mobile or Installation and everything in between we solve the need for simplicity, usability and rich user-experience. As you've probably noticed by now I'm really really excited about it.
coUNDco has gone through some changes over the past few months and will continue to clarify its strategy for the months to come. For the record, my decision was not based on these changes. I believe coUNDco goes absolutely in the right direction as a online advertising full-service agency. Hans-Jürg, Florian and Remo navigate their boat with agility and cleverness and I congratulate them for their calm mindset in rough times. These are the factors that not only make you survive but actually let you grow and flourish! Needless to say that my "Good Bye" was not an easy one. Let me make some quick notes about the characters that make coUNDco so unique:
Thanks to Andrea for her adaptability over such a shot period of time, Léonie for her supportive nature, Jari for his fresh thinking, Philipp for his calmness and inspirational ideas, Stef for being one of THE hardest engineers, Jean-Pierre for his backup, Garry for being a project management samurai, Miri for bringing the office back to life when needed, Mike for kick-starting good mood. Thank you Remo for all the inspiration, fun and appreciation. Thank you Hans-Jürg for the never-ending support and for driving my interest in entrepreneurship that ultimately led me to owning my own business. Thank you Flo for the excellent work relationship early on and your belief in my ideas.
This big change almost concludes the year 2009 for me, but there is still a lot to do for a seamless transition from being an employee to being both — designer and entrepreneur. I promise to take the lessons learned during my exciting year at coUNDco and do my best to push Interactive Things to where we want it to arrive.
So, if you have a project you'd like to work with me on, please don't hesitate to get in touch, and if it's a fit, we'll figure out how to make it happen.

The Steelers were faced with the task of defeating Japan in the semi-final to book a place against the USA in the gold medal match and did so, defeating Japan 63-57.
After a hard fought overtime victory over Canada in the final pool match on Saturday to top the pool, Australian captain Ryan Scott was thrilled with his side's efforts secure their fourth win of the tournament.
"This is everything that we wanted. If you told me at the start of the Games that we would get this chance, I would have been so happy," Scott said.
"Some people might say there was an asterisk next to our London 2012 win because we didn't beat the USA, but I don't believe that, because we beat everyone in front of us.
"We now just really want to get out there, we really want to face the USA and we want to prove everyone wrong. We can beat them."
Australia has eight players that won gold four years ago, but with some young stars coming through, Scott is expecting a tough battle against the USA.
"We have four guys who have never played a Paralympic final, so we're trying to see this as a new team, we're not thinking about past performances. Tomorrow is the game that matters now," Scott said.
"We're trying not to think about London too much. To be honest, we're probably thinking about Beijing more. The guys that were there know how hard it is and how much it hurts to lose it. We don't want that feeling again."
The Steelers will play Team USA in the final tomorrow at 1am Monday AEST.

Check out the news, and you can't help taking a grim view of humanity. Yet heroes walk among us. Some we see. Many we don't.
After an Asiana Airlines plane crashed on landing at San Francisco International last Sunday, heroes got to work. The flight crew and first responders removed passengers from harm's way. That only two people died seems incredible.
But death has a hunger. Nineteen firefighters—members of the Granite Mountain Hot Shots—died fighting a fire northwest of Phoenix. Fighting huge fires entails a great deal of danger, and these folks accepted the challenge. If you're looking for heroes, look to them, too.
We often honor our military personnel for their sacrifices in Iraq and Afghanistan. We can dispute the value of those wars but not the courage and endurance of our people sent into harm's way, often on multiple deployments. They'll tell you they're just doing their job. But just being out there entails a large measure of heroism. After all, they volunteered to risk everything while so many of our citizens risk nothing.
But while it often takes a disaster to place some heroes in the spotlight, many others never get attention. Maybe what they do is modest in comparison to aircrews, firefighters, police and military personnel, yet what they do matters.
I saw a number of those heroes at the Irwin Memorial Blood Center (Masonic at Turk) last Tuesday. They took time out of their day to help people they will never meet or know. And they'll never get recognition.
One young hero, a 33-year-old skateboarder, gave blood for the first time. He became a little woozy in the chair—not unusual for first-timers. Getting a needle stuck in a vein and watching your blood come out—if you watch—takes getting used to. When he was done, he was shaky but proud. He had a right to be. He overcame a natural fear to possibly save the life of another human being.
As for me, I'm no hero. I've been giving blood for decades. It's routine. I kick back, catch up on my reading then pig out on juice and a donut (or two). Imagine my surprise when, because it was mid-afternoon, the donuts were gone. Still, that double-chocolate cookie was good. I limited myself to one because it was my birthday and I was going out to dinner that night. As it happened, we went to an acclaimed restaurant, and I didn't like the desserts on the menu so I didn't order one. But given the circumstances, nothing would have topped that cookie.
As August approaches, I think about First-Lieutenant Howard Jon Schnabolk, US Army, about whom I wrote in "Courage." Howie saved the lives of countless wounded men flying a medevac helicopter in Vietnam. He was shot down and killed on 3 August 1967. We all have our heroes. Howie is mine both for his service and many charitable acts.
If I'm choking up as I write this, you'll understand. And you'll know why the present I most enjoyed on my birthday was the one I gave in Howie's honor.

Майкъл Шийън Брадли () е американски футболист, роден на 31 юли 1987 г. в Принстън, Ню Джърси. Играе на поста полузащитник за канадския Торонто от 2014 г. и САЩ. Негов баща е треньорът на САЩ Боб Брадли.

Клубна кариера
През 2004 г. Брадли е избран под номер 36 в драфта на Мейджър Лийг Сокър от отбора на Ню Йорк/Ню Джърси МетроСтарс, чиито треньор по това време е баща му. През първия си сезон не записва много мачове поради контузия, но през 2005 г. става твърд титуляр и играе в почти всичките мачове за сезона. В началото на 2006 г. преминава в холандския Хееренвеен, превръщайки се в най-младия американски футболист, продаден зад граница. През сезон 2007/2008 заема титулярното място на отказалия се Паул Босвелт. През 2008 г. Брадли постига договорка да премине в Бирмингам Сити, ако отборът се спаси от изпадане от Висшата лига, но тъй като това не става, той отива в германския Борусия Мьонхенгладбах.

През юли 2012 подписва четиригодишен договор на стойност 3,75 евро с италианския Рома.

На 19 януари 2015 преминава в канадския отбор ФК Торонто, от едноименния град Торонто, който се състезава в Мейджър Лийг Сокър, футболното първенство на САЩ и Канада.

Национален отбор
Брадли дебютира за САЩ на 26 май 2006 г. срещу Венецуела. След като в края на същата година баща му поема националния отбор, Майкъл се превръща в основен играч в неговата селекция. Участва на Златната купа на КОНКАКАФ през 2007 г., Олимпийските игри през 2008 г., Купата на конфедерациите през 2009 г. и Световното първенство през 2010 г.

The fare of ATC Bus transport from Press club to Science Lab is tk.15. However, the govt fixes tk.7 for the distance of 3.9 kilometers. There are many buses like Raja, City, Satabdi Pariban etc. running on this route.
The fare of Taranga Bus from Mohammadpur to Rampura is tk.25 and to Matsababan is also the same fare. The information is not new to the dwellers of the Capital. These types of sufferings are very constant for the residents of Dhaka.
The passengers of these buses have to quarrel with conductors of bus. For this, many passengers of Dhaka call them cheating service instead of sitting service.
