Q: Get a triangle's angles from the sides Hint: For the SSS case, you are given the 3 sides a, b, and c, and need to find the corresponding angles α, β, and γ. To find α, for example, you solve the equation a^2==b^2+c^2-2b c Cos[α] for the variable α. There will be 2 outputs, and the positive output will be your solution.
Now use that solution to create the function α[a_,b_c,_]:= (the output you obtained)*180/π//N (multiplying by 180/\[DoubledPi] will convert the angle from radians to degrees and postfixing //N will give an approximation to the angle). Do the same for β and γ. (For β you will solve the equation b^2==a^2+c^2-2a c Cos[β] for β, and use a similar equation to solve for γ).
You can then create the function sss[a_,b_,c_]:={α[a,b,c], β[a,b,c], γ[a,b,c], a, b, c}] which has input the 3 sides and as output the 3 angles and the 3 sides. Check your work by doing Example 2.
this is the given hint my professor provided.
Reduce[a^2 == b^2 + c^2 - 2 b c Cos[α]]
a == -Sqrt[b^2 + c^2 - 2 b c Cos[α]] ||
a == Sqrt[b^2 + c^2 - 2 b c Cos[α]]
f[α[a_, b_, c_] :=
Sqrt[b^2 + c^2 - 2 b c Cos[α]]*180/π // N]
f[Null]

This is as far as I've got. I don't think I'm using the proper code.

A: You can use SSSTriangle and TriangleMeasurement with the property {"InteriorAngle", All}:
ClearAll[αβγ]

αβγ[a_, b_, c_] := TriangleMeasurement[SSSTriangle[a, b, c], {"InteriorAngle", All}]

αβγ[a, b, c]

{ArcCos[(-a^2 + b^2 + c^2)/(2 b c)],
 ArcCos[(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)/(2 a c)],
 ArcCos[(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)/(2 a b)]}

A: If we assume a triangle a,b,c ( counterclockwise) with opposite angles α,β,γ (as you did)  knowing  the law of cosines we have the list:
cosini[a_, b_, c_] := {
       (a^2 - b^2 - c^2)/(2 b c),
       (b^2 - a^2 - c^2)/(2 a c),
       (c^2 - a^2 - b^2)/(2 a b )}

(* Cos[α], Cos[β], Cos[γ]} *)

For example, the angles of an equilateral triangle evaluate to:
cosini[1, 1, 1] // ArcCos

(* {(2 π)/3, (2 π)/3, (2 π)/3} *)

A: Reduce[{ a > 0 , b > 0 , c > 0, 0 < α < π ,
  0 < β < π, 0 < γ < π,
  a^2 == b^2 + c^2 - 2*b*c*Cos[α],
  b^2 == c^2 + a^2 - 2*c*a*Cos[β] ,
  c^2 == a^2 + b^2 -
    2*a*b*Cos[γ] }, {α, β, γ}, Reals]// Simplify

Saving coffee from climate change
While Washington debates whether climate change is a hoax or an imminent threat, the world coffee industry is not waiting for the American government to take action to protect its business.
By Marvin G Perez and Fabiana Batista on Bloomberg, 28 April 2017
Coffee crops are under siege from deforestation, abnormally high temperatures, a lack of precipitation, and disease. The global market is heading for its fourth straight year of deficit, according to estimates from Rabobank International. At the same time, global demand for the beloved beverage is expected to reach an all-time high this year, led by demand from younger American consumers. Production will need to increase at least 50 percent by the middle of this century to keep pace with the demand, says Conservation International, an environmental organization. To cope, the industry is rushing to develop plants that can adapt with the changing environment.
Land suitable to grow the arabica beans favored by Starbucks Corp. and other specialty roasters will be cut in half worldwide by 2050, according to the World Coffee Research institute, a group sponsored by the industry. In Brazil's Espirito Santo state, output has fallen precipitously, particularly for the robusta variety of coffee bean. In the last three years, the region has received just 50 percent of its average rainfall, while temperatures soared to 3 degrees Celsius above normal. "It was the worst drought in 80 years," Romario Gava Ferrao, a researcher at the state-run research institute, Incaper, told Bloomberg. Some farmers have moved to other regions or have invested in other crops such as pepper, he said.
Leaves affected by the Roya coffee fungus show damaged areas on the coffee plantation Finca San Isidro Chacaya in Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala, Friday, Feb. 8, 2013. Guatemala's President Otto Perez Molina declared a national emergency over the spread of the Roya fungus, or coffee rust, a disease that is affecting 70 percent of the country's crop, creating a loss of nearly a billion dollars for Guatemalan coffee producers. Photographer: Victor J. Blue/Bloomberg
Hugo Ramos, a meteorologist at Incaper, isn't sure if the warmer, dryer weather is a permanent change for the region. "We have to study more to understand what will happen in the next years." The situation has become so dire that the nation is considering importing lower-quality robusta beans from Vietnam in order to meet demand, an option that has met strong opposition from local farmers.
Leaf rust, a fungal disease that affects both arabica and robusta plants, is also devastating the industry. About 18.2 million bags of coffee worth about $2.5 billion were lost to the disease from 2011 to 2016, according to WCR. The loss put 1.7 million people out of work. A warmer planet means producers will be forced to contend with more frequent threats to their beans.
To avert a disastrous future without coffee, Christophe Montagnon, a geneticist at the WCR, is leading a global team of researchers in an effort to find existing plants that can survive in a changed climate. "Global warming means that the only places that will remain arable are colder or at higher altitudes," Montagnon said in a telephone interview from Lyon, France.

In a recent experiment, Montagnon's team took 30 plant varieties from 20 countries and placed them in a controlled environment in Laos, where they were subjected to temperatures as low as 2 degrees Celsius. The seven varieties that survived the cold snap will now be taken to other regions, from Brazil to Guatemala, to see if they can thrive in foreign soils and uncontrolled conditions. Eventually, the coffee plants deemed most resistant to both colder temperatures and leaf-rust will be selected for planting.
"We now have these varieties that are resistant to frost," Montagnon said. The next step is to challenge those varieties in different environments, he said.
Finding coffee plants able to withstand leaf rust may be a bigger challenge. Recent research has shown that resistance is breaking down in some rust-resistant varieties originally developed from the 1950s to the '90s. The fungal disease remains common in some areas, particularly the Americas, where it primarily threatens the arabica beans sold by high-end roasters. Still, Montagnon remains optimistic. "This is exciting," he said.

Fair Work Ombudsman to investigate $1000 unpaid internships after 'serious questions' raised
By Michael Koziol
March 16, 2018 — 4.59pm
The Fair Work Ombudsman will investigate companies offering unpaid internships for which some students paid $1000, following a report by Fairfax Media.
The Ombudsman, Natalie James, said the report raised "serious questions" about the internships hosted by web developer Future Squared and recruitment by Industry Placements Australia.
Some graduates paid a $990 "administration fee" to IPA for placement in the 12-week Future Squared internship, which is unpaid, and takes place away from the company's headquarters in a co-working space leased by IPA.
Future Squared director Zakk Goodsell had told Fairfax Media the internship was a "recruitment process" for the company designed to "weed out people who might screw up our projects". He said that from about 64 interns in a recent period, just one had "passed" and remained employed.
In response to social media posts, Ms James tweeted that Fairfax Media's report "raises some serious questions" and "we will take a look". She called for anyone with direct experience of IPA or Future Squared should contact the Ombudsman's office.
A spokesperson later confirmed: "The Fair Work Ombudsman is currently conducting inquiries into this matter. As these inquiries are ongoing, it is not appropriate to comment further at this time."
On Friday afternoon, Mr Goodsell said the Ombudsman was acting "without any information other than a bunch of people gobbing off on social media". He said he had not been told "anything" about the investigation but would be happy to assist.
Zakk Goodsell, director of the company Future Squared, said the unpaid internships were necessary to prepare people for the real world of work.
"I would love to know if we're doing something wrong, what it is and how we can change it," Mr Goodsell said. "And if not, I would like for everyone on social media to get back to work."
Industry Placements Australia said it has put more than 500 interns through work placements since 2012 and has previously shown Fairfax Media paperwork from workplace advisory Employsure declaring that its operations comply with the Fair Work Act.
IPA director Jack Clayfield said he looked forward to the investigation. "There's no financial benefit to the client. I don't know how it will be in breach of Fair Work, so we can give them everything," he told Fairfax Media.
The internships were criticised by advocacy group Interns Australia, which argues all internships should be paid. The practice of asking applicants to pay to undertake internships - either directly or through a broker - was "very concerning", said director and unionist Jack Kenchington-Evans.
Laws governing internships can be complex but employers are not allowed to run lengthy unpaid trials. Mr Goodsell said his 12-week screening process for potential employees was necessary because graduates were "not ready" for the workplace and were "told a whole bunch of crap by the universities".
The Melbourne-based company usually had about 10 interns at any one time and 10 paid staff, Mr Goodsell said.

Do Clients See You as an Expense or as Part of Their Growth?
Ellen and Peter are both partners with large, well-known public accounting firms. They both went to good schools and have years of experience in auditing the financial statements of Fortune-500 companies.
That's where their similarities end.
Ellen is a trusted advisor to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of her largest client. In contrast, Peter's principal client has been trying to cut the fee for his firm's audit services. Sometimes, he even struggles to get on the CFO's calendar.
Their differences illustrate one of the most fundamental laws of relationships. Mastering this law has the power to transform your role with clients, customers, and colleagues.
"What kind of relationship do you have with the CFO or his deputy?" I asked.
As our lunch progressed, a portrait of Peter emerged as what I call an "expert for hire." Peter described a board dinner he was invited to. Peter admitted with candor that because the questions thrown at him were not focused on accounting alone, he had to stumble through his answers.
Peter is a great accountant. He knows his accounting rules and methodologies. The problem is, most top executives don't want to spend much time on those particular details.
Ellen, on the other hand, is known to have an uncommon knack for building strong relationships with her clients at the most senior levels. I first met her when I interviewed her as part of a panel at a client offsite conference.
Ellen explained that when she takes on a new audit client, she tells the CFO that she wants to have a regularly scheduled lunch every two weeks. She admitted that she initially gets push back, but after insisting that all her significant clients follow this practice and find it valuable, her clients agree.
Ellen and Peter are real people. The dramatically different roles they play with their clients highlight an important Law of Relationships: Become part of your clients' growth and profits, and they'll never get enough of you.
If you can show how what you do directly supports your client's growth, their profitability, and the reduction of their risks, you'll harness the power of this law.

PECKING ORDER AT BOX OFFICE: 1. CAPTAIN AMERICA 2; 2. RIO 2
April 15, 2014 by admin · Leave a Comment
Captain America: The Winter Soldier held off a strong challenge by the birds of Rio 2 to remain at the top of the domestic box office with $41.27 million. Rio 2 came in a close second with $39.33 million. In fact, Rio 2 took the lead on Friday and many analysts figured that with kiddy matinees over the weekend, it would remain on top. But many families chose Captain America instead, it would seem, and while the majority flocked to see Rio, the lower ticket price for kids was reflected in the outcome. The two films finished in reverse order overseas, withRio flying to the top with $62.3 million, and Captain America settling for second place with $60.6 million. If the original Rio is any indication, the animated feature should remain well ahead at the foreign box office, particularly in South America. And, what with the World Cup being played in Brazil this year, the movie, which is set in the Amazon, appears certain to enjoy a long run down sud. Coming in a distant third was the horror flick Oculus, with a decent $12 million, given its $5-million budget. It's expected to have a short life, particularly given the upcoming competition from The Quiet Ones in two weeks. On the other hand, the fourth-place finish for Draft Day with $9.78 million was clearly a disappointment, not only for Lionsgate, which produced and distributed it, but also sadly for Kevin Costner, whose last film, 3 Days to Kill, also flopped.

Ulysses Accomplished
Monday, July 21st, 2008 | 1:24 pm and filed in Music, Friends.
Yes, it's been a long time since my last post. Sorry about that. Life has a way of taking priority over posting random thoughts on the internets. The past few months have been really busy for me both musically and otherwise. Before the Producers Conferences came up I was tied down with Reason Electric Bass programming. That was a particularly challenging project but the core material of the sampled basses and amplifiers was really quality. It was a lot of fun to develop those sounds and the effects combinators.
The one project that has been lingering on my to-do list(s) has been the completion of Goh Nakamura's Ulysses album. It's been over a year since we started on it and i'm happy to say that the gold master is completed and shipped off to manufacturing! This has been a long long journey, and i'm quite proud to have been part of this very unique project.
Back in early May, I had a week of tape projects including the transfers of the 1956 World Series Reels to digital - many thanks to Tardon at Mr Toads, who did an amazing job restoring the splices that dissolved on the reels. I have the files on this and will be moving ahead once i get my new workstation issues sorted out.
The big project was the final mixdown of Goh's album at Tiny Telephone Studios in San Francisco. Months after we did the first mixes, Scott Solter was back in town and we booked out half a week with him, and managed to finish the 11 remaining mixes. I can't say that it was too grueling, because we were mixing from tape through the Neve desk, and the ear fatigue was not as intense as it is working on a DAW. Huge props to Scott, who created some amazing mixes from the raw tracks. I learned a lot from watching him work in a somewhat unorthodox style of mixing and effects chaining. Needless to say, that Scott's technique has inspired a few combinator patches that i've been working on during my spare time.
The mixes went down on 1/2″ tape, so I got to play the tape transport 'dude' during the sessions, but I left the splicing and alignment to Scott who is quite simply a master of the medium. We walked out with digital references, so we could listen back to the album and start making decisions for the next phase of the project. There were a couple of issues with the mixes though. On one track, there was a section of 20 seconds that had this intermittent noise on the right channel that sounded like a scratchy pot or bad patch cord being jiggled. On another track, one of the crucial vocal harmonies seemed too low in the mix. Being that Scott returned home to North Carolina, going back into the studio was not an option to correct these problems.
Throughout June we were preoccupied with preparing the album for manufacturing as well as mastering as well as getting the artwork and design finished. I contacted Mike Wells in San Francisco to master the album. Mike's suite is housed in the Hyde Street Studios facility, and keeping in the analog tradition of this album, he uses an analog signal chain of dynamics and equalization before digitizing the material. Of course, we still had the issues of the problematic mixes to deal with, so I had to consult Mike about making specific edits to the mixes after the mastering. For the scratchy section, simply cutting out the instrumental section worked like a charm. It was pretty fortunate that the problem occurred at the beginning of a very long repetitive outro section, and removing 20 seconds make very little impact to the song. For the missing backing vocal issue, I had prepared a mixed/eq'd/reverb'd replacement vocal track in Logic, and Mike was able to lay that back on top of the mastered file.
Also during June, Goh had a couple of live shows in SF. The first was at Amnesia in the mission which happened on one of those rare, extremely warm evenings in the city. The tiny place was packed and Goh, played with Tim Bulkley, Adam Shulman, and Justin Miller on the cramped stage. The other gig was at Bimbo's 365 club where the guys along with Sadie Contini opened for Yael Naim and David Donatien. Their names may not sound familiar, but their song, New Soul, is featured on the apple MacBook Air TV ad, which any reader of this site has probably heard.
Gary Chou and Brian Kobashikawa have been working pretty hard on the preparation of the album packaging and media campaign for the launch. Gary has been going to all of the gigs and capturing digital video that has been posting on the masthead of Goh's Website as well as youtube. It's been decided to to a full blown production on the final product including a 20 page booklet as well as a Eight panel foldout CD case. Brian's design and illustration talents have captured the feel of the project, and he has created a beautiful album package.
So again, my apologies for a lack of updates here. I've also been preoccupied with the hassle of migrating my workstation from my old Quad G5 to my new 8-Core Xeon. I have yet to upgrade my adobe creative suite to the native version, so the hassle of switching between machines has made it far more tedious to develop content and edit photos. The expense of the hardware upgrade and costs of production have pressed me to budget things, so I probably wont be upgrading the software anytime soon. Everything works fine on the old machine, so I'm switching between machines when i need to do any serious graphic work.
Ulysses should be back from the manufacturer in mid-august and hopefully online at iTunes by the fall. The record release party is already scheduled for August 20, 2008 at Cafe du Nord in San Francisco. If there are no problems with manufacturing we should have copies at the show! Also, if you live in New York, you can catch Goh playing this week at Pete's Candy Store in Williamsburg on Wednesday, and Pianos in Soho(?) on Thursday.

Here may be a easy circuit switches on a lightweight around a pair of hours once hour, the time at that most of the robberies happening.
This simple circuit is build around a CMOS IC 4060 to get the specified temporal arrangement. throughout day time the LDR has low resistance and keeps the pin twelve of the IC1 high, preventing the IC1 from periodic .
When it's dark the LDR resistance becomes high and also the pin twelve of IC1 becomes low and also the IC starts periodic , that indicated by the flashing of junction rectifier D3.The values of the temporal arrangement parts R1, R2, C4 ar thus chosen that the out place pin3 of IC1 goes high once eight hours. which means the high output drives the triac to change on the lamp around 2'O clock. At morning, the LDR resistance drops and also the pin twelve of IC1 goes high and stops the oscillation, creating the lamp OFF. The switch S1 is wont to manually ON the lamp. The condenser C2 prevents false triggering.

French Fridays with Dorie: Go-with-everything celery root puree | eat. live. travel. write.
I was so happy to see this week's French Fridays with Dorie recipe (Go-with-everything celery root purée, p 254) pop up! I am a huge fan of mashed potatoes, though Neil is not, so I was keen to try this and see what he thought (I knew I would like it!).
It's a simple recipe, celery root, onion and a small amount of potato simmered in milk, strained and mashed with some butter. Its silky and smooth once mashed (I used both a food processor and an immersion blender, as I made it twice) and not at all sharp as raw celery root is (I like that but you don't want a sharp flavour in a mash). I added some chives for colour.
I served it with the chicken apples and cream à la Normande from a couple of French Fridays ago (both at home and when I made it with Les Petits Chefs) and it wa perfect for soaking up the juices. I actually ate a fair bit of it just on its own. It's THAT good.
I'll be using this on top of shepherd's pie the next time I make it for a unique spin on a classic. And Mr Neil even liked it so that means we get to eat mash in our house again! Hurrah!
*** I'm in Myanmar right now with extremely limited internet access (if any) but if I can I will share a few pics via Instagram, Twitter or Flickr – feel free to follow me there if you are not already!
I wonder how this would be on top of Dorie's hachis parmentier? I am sure it was lovely with the chicken.
P.S. Your link is up on FFwD site.
I liked this better than mashed potatoes, too! Wonderful base for Dorie's chicken. Happy, happy New Year, Mardi!
SO much better than mashed potatoes.
Sounds interesting to pair this with the chicken and cream dish. I definitely wasn't fond of this dish by itself, but I imagine it would be okay with other flavors. And yours certainly looks beautiful! I love that presentation! Happy New Year to you!
Yes it needs something else but I personally liked it on its own.
Lovely lovely lovely! I chickened out and made gougeres because I felt a distaste for the idea of celery root but maybe I was wrong?? Hope you have a Happy New Year Mardi!
This doesn't taste like celery root at all. It's smooth and creamy and buttery!
Nice idea to pair this with that delicious chicken. I served with beef stew, but I like your idea to use it as topping for the hachis parmentier (one of my favorite AMFT recipes). Happy New Year! Hope you are having a fabulous time in Myanmar.
Oh that would be great with beef stew!
I love your pairing this with the Chicken Normandy… fabulous contrast to the sweet creamy chicken. Happy New Year.
Yes it was a good pairing.
Love mashed celery root. Wouldn't even miss the taters!
This puree would have been perfect with the chicken – it demands a sauce to soak up the juice. And hubby liked it – bonus. Happy New Year Mardi!
Yes it was perfect for a juicy dish like the chicken.
This would be wonderful on top of shepherd's pie! What a great idea! I served mine with the chicken dish as well, only I used pork. It was tasty, wasn't it?
Great idea to serve this with Dorie's chicken! Happy New Year Mardi!
You dish looks wonderful. I'm sure it was good with the chicken, and your ideas about shepherd's pie (or Cher's about hachis parmentier) sound really good.
Such a good choice to serve it with the chicken and I really like your idea of using it as an alternative to mashed potatoes on a shepherd's pie. Hope your travels are glorious – happy New Year!
Yes I think I need to try the shepherd's pie!
I thought you were in Morocco and that was exciting enough. But, Myanmar, is beyond fabulous. Our President was just there so you are in good company (in my opinion). As soon as I leave your comment, I am going to try to catch up with you via I, T or F. What an experience, Mardi.
Back to the mundane, I guess. I loved this recipe – first time to use celery root as a "mash". Loved writing that. Although I've made Céleri Rémoulade several times, this was a new one for me. Although it went well with what I made on Christmas Day, I do feel that this should be served with something soupy and saucy, just as you did.
Happy New Year. Travel Safely. Now…..on to catch up with you.
It's definitely going into regular rotation in my house, that's for sure!

Introducing "The Phil" — a new nonprofit publication
December 1, 2020 | Jon Newman | Leave a Comment | Time to Read: 3 mins
Josh Dare is always about five years ahead of the times. He is also the "kinder, gentler" of the two founders of this agency.
Ok, some background. As an agency The Hodges Partnership has always had nonprofit clients on its roster. Working with nonprofits is part of our DNA not only as an agency but as volunteers and board members. Josh has always led that charge.
It was about six years ago that THP expanded it capabilities into content marketing. One successful project was the creating of a digital magazine for Swedish Match. Called Umgås ("gathering place" in Swedish), the magazine highlighted Swedish lifestyle and culture in the United States. At its height, THP created on average one piece of content a day and attracted more than 60,000 unique visitors a month to the website.
Also, about that time we noticed the shrinking of media opportunities for our nonprofit clients. News outlets just didn't have the time and space to cover them in depth anymore.
Josh's idea: Could we create a digital magazine like Umgås that could shine a light on nonprofit organizations in Central Virginia and provide an outlet to educate readers and promote good deeds?
Like all great ideas, we all were very excited. We tried to figure out how to make it work with our existing client load, figure out ways to at least break even on it, talked to potential sponsors, etc. After a lot of time spent, some good questions asked, and some but not great sponsor interest we ran out of steam.
But we never forgot the idea.
Fast forward to, you know, 2020.
Meet The Phil
The impact of the pandemic on nonprofit organizations is staggering. The need for these organizations at a time of social reflection is critical. Telling their stories and championing their efforts is important.
Making this effort easier this time around is the talent level of young public relations professionals. We've noticed in recent years that the public relations students entering our internship program each quarter have been more "agency ready."
For a long time, my desire for the program was to not just have interns work on our accounts but for them to have a consistent ongoing project that would make the THP intern experience more meaningful for those involved. We also noticed that many agencies and companies were dropping their internship programs because of COVID and we were determined to not let that happen at THP.
My revamped thinking then was to resurrect the philanthropic digital magazine idea and have the interns (with help of a staff editorial team) create and run the website, write the stories, manage the social channels and grow the audience.
So welcome to The Phil www.thephilva.com, a new online publication that will showcase the work, mission and people behind the commonwealth's not-for-profit organizations. The Phil will include regularly updated original content, including profiles of local nonprofit leaders, in-depth stories on organizations' missions and challenges, and features on events and opinion pieces, among other articles. It will be intern-driven with THP staff oversight and will provide that missing outlet for area nonprofits.
We're excited about the launch and watching it grow. You can follow on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/thephilva and Twitter https://twitter.com/ThePhilVA and please tell your friends.
I'd like to give a special thanks to our Fall 2020 interns, whose hard work and dedication helped bring this germ of an idea to fruition: Anderson Hayes, Sara Huffman and Shayla Bailey.
Please Like and Subscribe
Most importantly if you work or volunteer with a nonprofit and would like us to consider telling its story please send an email at [email protected].
We're thrilled to finally bring Josh's idea to life, and we'll update you in the coming month on its growth and success.

Peter Hamm: Towards 2D Raman-THz spectroscopy
Water is often called a complex liquid because of the directionality of the hydrogen-bonds individual water molecules can form among each other. It is generally accepted that these hydrogen bonds are responsible for the many peculiar properties of water, such as the density maximum at 4°C. The quest on the structure of water, and how it is modified in the vicinity of solutes and interfaces, has been highlighted as one of the 125 most pressing problems of science in the 125 anniversary edition of the Science magazine [1]. For example, it is known since decades from macroscopic, thermodynamic observations that the entropic contribution of water is a crucial factor to the stability of proteins, which lead to the term "icebergs" for solvation water [2]. Recent THz experiments were interpreted by a solvation shell of a protein that extends 1 nm into the bulk [3]. However, from neutron scattering it is clear that these icebergs cannot be taken literally, i.e., no crystalline structure is observed in the vicinity of a protein. Nevertheless, the observation of an entropic decrease of solvation water remains, but as of yet it is completely unresolved what this implies structurally.
There is not even agreement on the structure of bulk water. Recent x-ray absorption experiments were explained by each water molecule being only two-fold coordinated [4] and small angle x-ray scattering experiments were explained by domain formation over 1 nm length scales [5]. In the deeply supercooled regime (so-called "no-mans land"), it is suspected that water undergoes a liquid-to-liquid phase transition, whose reminiscence stretches into the room temperature regime and is at the basis of the peculiar thermodynamic properties of water [6]. All these results [3-6] are highly controversial and by no means generally accepted. The high complexity of the water problem is to be contrasted to the very simple computer models (e.g. SPC or TIP4p water), which seem to describe many of the macroscopic (thermodynamic) properties of water reasonably well. It is not clear whether this agreement is obtained because these models describe water correctly on the microscopic level, or whether it is the result of just smart fitting that results in the correct macroscopic behaviour for the wrong physical reason.
In any case, water for sure is not a solvent that just provides some friction, but the directionality of hydrogen-bonding makes it an integral part to the structure-function relationship of bio-macromolecules. To the extent we understand a protein as a structured surface, it is clear that similar effects are relevant also at other surfaces and are important for example for the light-driven electron transfer processes at electrodes.

Fig. 2. 2D-Raman-THz setup
The dynamics of bulk water has been studied extensively using ultrafast infrared spectroscopy, in particular 2D-IR and 3D-IR spectroscopy [7-11]. These studies concentrate on the OH-stretch vibration of the individual water molecules and make use of the fact that its vibrational frequency is a relatively sensitive probe of the strength of hydrogen bonding of a given OH group to its environment. As such, the OH stretch vibration serves as local probe used to interrogate the intermolecular degrees of freedom of water. From these experiments it is known that the memory time of water at room temperatures, i.e. the typical time a given water molecule stays in its hydrogen bond environment, is a few picoseconds at most.
However, these experiments are indirect because they take the detour of the OH stretch vibration (which is complicated by itself) to learn about the structure of water. It would be desirable to measure the intermolecular degrees of freedoms of water directly such as the vibration of a hydrogen bond. These types of modes appear in the far-IR spectrum (<600 cm 1), which is attractive because these modes are thermally excited, as such make the action, while quantum mechanics dictates that an OH vibration as a high-frequency mode is completely frozen at room temperature.
Conventional (1D) spectroscopy in this low-frequency regime has been performed since decades using both Raman and far-IR (THZ) absorption spectroscopy. Unfortunately, the desired information is hidden in very broad and unstructured bands in these 1D spectra. A multidimensional spectroscopy directly in this frequency range has the potential to "look underneath" the broad band and better resolve it. Both 2D-Raman [12] and 2D-THz [13] have been proposed and explored, but for various reasons, none of them can currently tackle the water problem. In recent works [14, 15], we have therefore proposed a hybrid method, 2D-Raman-THz spectroscopy, that circumvents many of the problems of pure 2D-Raman or 2D-THz. In a theoretical work based on molecular dynamics simulations, we have investigated the information content of this new spectroscopy and have shown that one may be able to observe an echo directly in the low frequency regime (see Fig. 1). Echo's are a hallmark in multidimensional (i.e., multi-pulse) spectroscopy [16] and my hint towards heterogeneous structures in water. We are currently working on an experimental realisation of the technique (Fig. 2). In preliminary experiments we could show that the 2D-Raman-THz signal is small but readily measurable. Searching for such an echo in the experimental data will be a major task of this project.

Hey beautiful wildflowers! I have been having a hard time finding inspiration to write lately. So instead of trying to come up with a post idea, I decided to create new work to give me something to talk about.
While I've been tending to all of the house plants I've been collecting- for some time now- I remember how much I am drawn to flowers and plants. It gives me so much gratitude taking care of my plant babies and watching them grow- not as much gratitude, however, as watching my real baby grow. Anyway, so I've been really having to prune and water and re-soil a lot of the plants because it's so warm and sunny in the house, here in the spring.
I've been wanting to get back into creating more work, especially since I recently bought some fresh new watercolors! And because I like sharing my new stuff with y'all on the blog!
So here's my newest! I have been wanting to really focus on my color palette and making it more mature and refined. Really keeping the colors soft and making sure they work well together, with some nice contrast. I used a new technique to make the main image by dipping string in watercolor, then arranging it on the page leaving one end out to pull on the string, and closing my book pulling the string out to make marks.
I took my baby boy to the lake earlier today for a picnic. He loves being outside and since the weather wasn't unbearably hot I figured we would sit under a nice tree and relax. When we got there, ^^^this is what I had done on this painting as of this morning. I took this picture because sitting under the tree, the way the sun shined through the leaves, inspired my next layer using a thin sharpie. So the above picture is showing you the light traced onto the page. And below is how it came out.
When we got home from the lake, little one went down for a nap and I finished off this piece using my glittery copper acrylic paint to define and fill in the light marks.
^^^ This is the final product. I'm really happy with how my color palette turned out and how my new technique worked! It's amazing how creating new work for me is a good way to come up with something to talk to y'all about! And as always here are some of my favorite close ups where you can really see all of the layering of watercolor.
I hope y'all enjoy this one! Let me know what you think! And have a wonderful rest of your day or start of your day (wherever you are in the world and whenever you get to reading this).

Sony Ericcson Loses Head Of Region North America
Sony Ericsson is currently looking for a new man to fill in for Najmi Jarwala, President of Sony Ericsson USA and Head of Region North America. Najmi already announced his decision to leave the company at the end of March.
"It has been an incredibly rewarding time for me and we have achieved a lot together in North America," said Najmi Jarwala. "We have introduced an increasing number of n ew products, grown market share, built operator relationships and, perhaps most importantly, have laid the foundation for North America to play a key role in the long term growth and success of Sony Ericsson. I have been privileged to have led a team of passionate, creative and innovative people at Sony Ericsson and I wish them every success,"
Najmi will be replaced starting April 1 by Anders Runevad, Executive Vice President of Sony Ericsson and Head of Global Sales & Marketing (photo). A separate announcement regarding Najmi's successor in his dual role will be made in due course.
The move will certainly cast an even stronger shadow of lack on confidence over the company. Sony Ericsson has been hit hard by the current financial crisis and already announced it expects to report a significant loss for the next quarter.
The company failed to gain any significant ground on the US high-end smartphone market, which is currently being split between Apple's iPhone, Research In Motion's BlackBerrys and HTC's Touch.

Uganda, the Pearl of Africa opens first investment window for tourism businesses to protect biodiversity
Uganda has launched the first investment window seeking to harness the financial muscle of the world's leading hotel and lodge operators to raise vital funds to support and protect Uganda's wildlife.
The offering, which is being facilitated by the conservation charity Space for Giants and its partner the African Wildlife Foundation under the Giants Club initiative, involves some of the most important wilderness in the county.
Uganda has Africa's fastest growing elephant population but, with urgent development needs and limited budgets, the country lacks adequate financial resources to fully support its conservation requirements.
By attracting private sector investment to these areas, Uganda now hopes to secure the long-term funding needed to rehabilitate and manage its conservation estate for the long term.
Kaddu Sebunya, the President of the African Wildlife Foundation, notes that "Uganda hosts some of the most important wildlife and wildlands in Africa and has a world class tourism product. We are pleased to be working with the Uganda Wildlife Authority, the Government of Uganda and partners to help optimize the commercial opportunities in our protected areas in a way that maintains our natural resources and generates needed revenue for conservation."
On his part, Justus Karuhanga, the head Space for Giants (Uganda), said the release to market of the initial offering of selected opportunities for responsible tourism investment was focused on five of the country's most important landscapes for conservation.
"African governments need to prioritise where they spend their money, and conservation may not always be top of the list," he said. "What it is happening here is an initiative to help bring together responsible investors and the Ugandan government, in a way that will drive economic, social, and environmental benefits to the people and wildlife of Uganda.
"The government is very committed to this process and we are working hand-in-hand to help protect the Pearl of Africa for the long-term."
The initial offerings are two areas in Kidepo Valley National Park, four in Murchison Falls National Park, two in Kibale Forest National Park, two in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and one area in Semuliki National Park.
To allow flexibility in the scope of investor proposals, the Uganda Wildlife Authority has not specified the particular site locations that interested the investors. It is anticipated that these will be determined in discussion with successful applicants during detailed proposal and contracting stages.
To oversee this investment opportunity, Uganda has created a special transparent application process in partnership with the Giants Club. The deadline for interested investors to submit their initial Expressions of Interest is 29 June this year.
Uganda Wildlife Authority has stressed that it would be critical that any new investor should have not only a track-record of developing and managing high-value, low-impact and commercially-successfully conservation tourism portfolios but also a demonstrable commitment to supporting and promoting conservation values.
The opening of the investment window follows the staging of the Giants Club Conservation and Tourism Investment Forum in Kampala in October 2017 when potential investors were hosted by Uganda's President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
At this event, which was also backed by United Nations Development Programme, opportunities for responsible investment were showcased to potential investors and partners, alongside a new enabling investment framework and incentives.
President Museveni emphasised the importance of this initiative, saying that it "is an important step in our commitment to unlocking the new and innovative investment models needed to effectively protect our most beautiful landscapes and wildlife for the benefit of the Ugandan people."
"By inviting conservation-motivated investors to help build a 'nature-based economy', we will rehabilitate and manage Uganda's network of protected areas while delivering economic growth" said Museveni.
At the Investment Forum he also told investors that Uganda is one of the best places in the world to visit: "Uganda really is unique. The lowest part is 650 metres above sea level. The highest point is 5,109 metres, where there is snow. The terrain between the two is where we have all these wonderful things happening."

First glance at this brick building shows Ralph and a whole lot of sentries.
Whistle over the guards from the next room (with the conveyor belts), including a sentry. From here, standard whistlekill procedure applies- there's a good spot near the trussed captive on the east side of the ground floor, which has crates north and south for multi-angle luring.
Take out passersby, then grab the tac vest from the weapon locker indicated on the minimap. Here you'll also find some cash and Barker shotgun, if you need ammo. Cornerkill anyone else on the ground floor you might have missed, then head up the stairs in the northeast corner.
Break up the conversationalists, advance (grabbing a medkit on the wall if you need it), and take out a guard and the last sentry. This leaves one guy guarding Ralph- take him out anyway you please.
After that, it's time to do what you came here for- cut Ralph free and end the mission. He'll skeddadle, but you may want to stay and follow your minimap to the remaining cash stacks and medkits around the building- there are plenty. If you've been following this walkthrough in order, that should be enough to trigger the next conversation with Bear to get Sonny.

Because the eMachineShop CAD is intimately tied to manufacturing processes, the way you design your part can effect the price – especially for 3D parts. To optimize your design for the lowest price you can try multiple designs and use the one with the lowest price. For more detailed tips see Reducing Cost and Time.
The automatic pricing system is not perfect. If you feel that a price generated by the system is wrong, request a manual quotation as follows. Add a Comment to Machinist in Top View stating "For quotation only – do not proceed without my approval." and then place your order using the pay-by-check option and check #0000. Your submission will not be processed as an order unless we receive your approval.
You can place a standard order or change an order in progress.
You can change an order in progress. For example you might want to change a powder coat color.

Choose Job | Settings | Order Options | Change order in progress and specify the original order number. The machine IDs string should look like "534, 559, F254-92". These numbers can be found in your order confirmation email – for example: "Machines: 534. Mill 3-Axis, 559. Tapping, F254-92. Finish, F260-2. Finish".
Read the notes about additional charges.
After your changed order is received your old order is canceled and you will get a confirmation message that your change order has been received, along with the new order number which you should refer to subsequently.
You can include multiple different parts in one drawing file (one order) for 2D designs if the thickness of each part is the same. For example, you could design a sheet metal box consisting of three separate 1/8″ thick pieces in one drawing file (one order). To include multiple designs simply include each part in the drawing on the same screen. If you receive an error about multiple parts it is usually because your parts do not conform to the 2D part definition. You can also have differing quantities. For example, you could order 10 of one part and 20 of another. To order 10 of one part and 20 of another include one copy of the first part, two of the second and then order 10 sets.
3D designs permit only one design per drawing file (one per order). Files that split a single 3D design in two using the Air Inside feature are not accepted.
Get the eMachineShop CAD file from the person who designed the part – the file will have a .ems extension.
Download and run the eMachineShop CAD software.
Choose File | Open and open the design file.
Choose Order | Place Order and follow the instructions.
Payment method (credit card or prepay by check).
If paying by credit card, provide your credit card information.
Note: eMachineShop will not be responsible for any errors that result from your not directly reviewing your order via the CAD software.
The number of parts shipped to you may differ slightly from the quantity ordered, the range being indicated just below the quantity in the Job | Price dialog. For example if you enter quantity 100 you might see "+/- 5". This means you will receive between 95 and 105 parts. If you must have no less than 100 you should select a high enough quantity that the minimum value is 100.
Although 2D parts allow for multiple parts on one screen, when ordering a quantity of parts it is usually more economical to draw the part only once on the screen and to use the Quantity setting in the price dialog to select the desired quantity. In other words, if you need 10 of a part, draw the part once and set the quantity to 10 instead of drawing the part 10 times and setting the quantity to 1. However if you need, for example, 100 of one part and 200 of another you can draw one copy of the first part and two copies of the second and order 100 sets.
2D jobs must not have more than 25 parts on the screen and must not take more than 10 minutes of CPU time to price.
It is often useful to have a sample before a full run especially for a new design. In fact, it is common even for experienced engineers to modify a prototype multiple times before getting it right. If you need a sample before a full run, simply begin with a small order. For example, if you plan to run quantity 100 but want to run 2 pieces first to check your design, begin by placing an order for 2 and after you verify your design, place an order for 98. (eMachineShop does not offer to run a few parts for customer approval before continuing with a full run because doing so requires two machine setups which are not included in the computed price.) The best thing to do to minimize the need for samples is to design carefully and have someone else check your design.
You can get the status of your order at any time.
Choose menu Order | Request Order Status.
On the launched web page supply the requested information.
Your order status will be emailed to you.

eMachineShop offers a few special shipping modes.
When placing multiple orders you can reduce shipping costs by requesting shipment consolidation, typically into one box. Orders to be consolidated must be placed on the same day. To request consolidation, in the Pricing dialog check the consolidation option. The reduced shipping cost will be shown on the invoice you will receive with your shipment. Individual orders within a consolidated group will be charged to your credit card as they are manufactured. Your consolidated order shipment will usually occur when manufacturing of all the orders is complete, however eMachineShop reserves the right to ship prior to completion of all orders when deemed appropriate.
You can drop ship eMachineShop orders. For example, if you are in the ice cream equipment business and want to sell to your clients ice cream mixer components you designed, you can order the mixer parts from eMachineShop and have the parts dropped shipped directly to your clients.
In Job | Settings | Address enter your name, email and phone plus your clients business name and address.
In Job | Settings | Payment select credit card and enter your address.
In Job | Settings | General | Administrative comments you can enter special instructions such as "Include ABC Ice Cream business card and brochure. Omit invoice".
eMachineShop will charge your credit card and you will bill your client.
You can reorder parts that you ordered previously. For example, after ordering a prototype quantity you might want to order a production quantity.

External factors contributed to the growth this quarter

BOULOGNE-BILLANCOURT – August 2, 2022, at 7:00 A.M. CET – Exclusive Networks (Euronext Paris: EXN) today announces its Gross Sales and IFRS Revenue for the second quarter of 2022.
Jesper Trolle, Chief Executive Officer, said: "I am delighted that Exclusive Networks achieved Gross Sales above 1 billion this quarter. This record performance reflects our unique positioning in the cybersecurity ecosystem and the strong structural growth drivers in the market. External factors such as a strengthening of the US dollar and better than anticipated delivery rates from our core suppliers also contributed to the growth. I want to thank our teams around the world for their hard work and dedication to our mission.
The superior execution of our value-added model and services as well as the deep and longstanding relationships we have been building over the past decades with the leading and most promising cybersecurity vendors in the world bear fruits as we consistently outperform the high growth cyber market. Growth has been fueled this quarter by all of the main core cybersecurity segments, as well as by our newest segments such as Cloud Security and DevSecOps, both delivering sharp growth and validating our strategy to accelerate opportunities in these segments through the acquisition of Nuaware. These segments have experienced triple-digit growth rates and have an outstanding growth potential.
Spending on cybersecurity remains an increasing priority for companies and public institutions of all sizes. We see this in response to greater awareness of cyber threats, sophistication of surface attacks and geopolitical tensions. We are confident that our prominent position in the cybersecurity ecosystem and robust forward indicators, with bookings growth ahead of gross sales growth bode well for the future. We are the Global specialist leader in the cybersecurity market and ideally positioned to benefit from the market's continued dynamism and growth in coming quarters."

Gross Sales were €1,027.1 million, an increase of 42.5% year over year on a reported basis, 39.3% at constant currency.
The 42.5% Gross Sales growth in the second quarter of 2022 was largely attributable (77%) to growth from existing vendors. We also benefited from expanding with our vendors into new global regions as well as new vendors relationships (11%). The acquisitions of Ignition Technology and Networks Unlimited also supported our growth (12%).
Vendors renewal rates[1] for the second quarter of 2022 were up 135% (vs 110% in the second quarter of 2021) with customers renewal rates1 at 133% (vs 106% in the second quarter of 2021), supported by increasing demand for our vendors' solutions and the continued engagement of our channel partners.
The business performance in the second quarter of 2022 further demonstrates that the unique positioning of the company delivers ongoing strong business momentum with new vendors and geographical expansion, consistently outperforming its fast growing market.
OPERATIONS BY REGION
EMEA (78% of total quarterly gross sales):
Q2-22 Gross Sales were €797.8 million, an increase of €240 million or +43.0% year over year. EMEA, which remains the core region of the Group, continued its momentum from the previous quarter, with growth in all countries. There was particularly strong growth in the UK and in Germany where we saw an acceleration of the developments in the Enterprise market and an increasing share of large deals, through System Integrator partners.
Order intake continued its strong momentum and local teams continued to work closely with vendors to support them in navigating recent supply chain issues and ensure they could deliver the necessary cybersecurity solutions.
The business expansion continued with the addition of Tenable, the world's first Cyber Exposure platform, to the pan EMEA region portfolio.
The pipeline in large enterprise opportunities across all EMEA countries provides a solid foundation for the future.
APAC (12% of total quarterly gross sales):
Gross Sales were €122.7 million, representing growth of +36.3% year over year. APAC returned in the second quarter to a positive growth trend supported by the contribution of an increased number of large deals in Singapore and in the Philippines. Booking momentum remains positive.
AMERICAS (10% of total quarterly gross sales):
Gross Sales were €106.7 million, a significant +46.1% increase year over year. The robust performance in the region was fueled by the high demand for cybersecurity solutions of key vendors, the onboarding of more Juniper partners and the sustained enterprise momentum, notably with the signature of large deals. The backlog continues to grow as order intake remains strong.

Changes in Gross Sales reporting methodology
Up to Q1 2022 Gross Sales publication, Exclusive Networks Gross Sales KPI was defined as follows:
"Gross Sales represent revenue recognized by the Group on a gross basis for each revenue stream (i.e. Solutions and Support/Maintenance) and before intra and inter segment intercompany eliminations. Net of returns, discount and rebates".
Historically, the business model of Exclusive Networks was such that each entity within the Group was managing its own buy-and-sell activities, resulting into intra and inter segment sales non-significant at Group level (47m€ in 2021 i.e. 1.4% of gross sales, 25m€ in 2020) and not distorting the perception of the Group's financial performance. However, these intra and inter segment sales are expected to increase in the future due to (i) the implementation of a new operating model to support some vendors' growth within EMEA, with some inventory to be held in one European country for the whole EMEA area; (ii) the growth pattern of the Company.
Considering the above-described evolutions, the Group decided to exclude the intra and inter segment sales from its Gross Sales KPI in FY2022 to improve the relevance and reliability of its Gross Sales indicator to the market. Effective Q2 2022 Gross Sales publication, the Gross Sales indicator will be defined as follows:
"Gross Sales represent revenue from third parties recognized by the Group on a gross basis for each revenue stream. Net of returns, discount and rebates. »
For comparability purposes, historical figures have been restated according to the new definition.
A reconciliation of both metrics for 2021 and 2022 is provided in the tables below:

Language Center of the Brain Is Not Under the Control of Subjects Who "Speak in Tongues"
(Philadelphia, PA) - Glossolalia, otherwise referred to as "speaking in tongues," has been around for thousands of years, and references to it can be found in the Old and New Testament. Speaking in tongues is an unusual mental state associated with specific religious traditions. The individual appears to be speaking in an incomprehensible language, yet perceives it to have great personal meaning. Now, in a first of its kind study, scientists are shining the light on this mysterious practice -- attempting to explain what actually happens physiologically to the brain of someone while speaking in tongues.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have discovered decreased activity in the frontal lobes, an area of the brain associated with being in control of one's self. This pioneering study, involving functional imaging of the brain while subjects were speaking in tongues, is in the November issue of Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, the official publication of the International Society for Neuroimaging in Psychiatry.
Radiology investigators observed increased or decreased brain activity - by measuring regional cerebral blood flow with SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) imaging - while the subjects were speaking in tongues. They then compared the imaging to what happened to the brain while the subjects sang gospel music.
"We noticed a number of changes that occurred functionally in the brain," comments Principal Investigator Andrew Newberg, MD, Associate Professor of Radiology, Psychiatry, and Religious Studies, and Director for the Center for Spirituality and the Mind, at Penn. "Our finding of decreased activity in the frontal lobes during the practice of speaking in tongues is fascinating because these subjects truly believe that the spirit of God is moving through them and controlling them to speak. Our brain imaging research shows us that these subjects are not in control of the usual language centers during this activity, which is consistent with their description of a lack of intentional control while speaking in tongues."
Newberg went on to explain, "These findings could be interpreted as the subject's sense of self being taken over by something else. We, scientifically, assume it's being taken over by another part of the brain, but we couldn't see, in this imaging study, where this took place. We believe this is the first scientific imaging study evaluating changes in cerebral activity -- looking at what actually happens to the brain -- when someone is speaking in tongues. This study also showed a number of other changes in the brain, including those areas involved in emotions and establishing our sense of self."
Newberg concludes that the changes in the brain during speaking in tongues reflect a complex pattern of brain activity. Newberg suggests that since this is the first study to explore this, future studies will be needed to confirm these findings in an attempt to demystify this fascinating religious phenomenon.
This preliminary study, done only at Penn, examined five subjects in a laboratory setting. The study, set for publication in the November issue of Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, can now be accessed on-line at www.sciencedirect.com. The article is titled, "The Measurement of Regional Cerebral Blood Flow During Glossolalia: a Preliminary SPECT Study." Co-authors include: Nancy Wintering, Donna Morgan, and Mark Waldman.

Illinois Bird Removal Company provides commercial bird control and bird removal for residential customers in Gilberts , IL. At our company we can handle any type of removal control problem, many services provided! Our Gilberts bird removal pros provide a complete solution fast, safe and clean.
Your pest management professional will employ techniques and products that are humane, efficient and effective to the target birds. Not only will it be more cost effective to have a professional do the job, but it will be done correctly the first time. Their droppings can stain and rot building materials as well as create unhealthy living conditions for residents. This can be found in the electrical isle from the same big box store. In some settings, the presence of birds can cause failure of audits and inspections, leading to shutdowns and lost revenue. Some scavenger species can hamper outdoor dining and irritate customers. The program is designed for targeted species, using no chemicals – a health and safety advantage that protects the people in and around the building, as well as your sustainability and green healthcare initiatives. Now determine how much nesting and debris needs to be removed from the vent. Humane bird control employs hands-on techniques to humanely remove the nest and the babies inside. We then remove the nesting material from the vent and screen it so that the birds can't get back in. This is a very common problem that seems to occur thru out the country.
Wire barriers are best for long, uninterrupted ledges and are effective in areas where gel applications aren't enough. Determining the presence of babies can be difficult as your ability to see and hear will be reduced by nesting material. Many birds are never willing to take another mate after the loss of first partner. Why birds are trapped? There are different reasons which compel people to keep birds in cages like some have a love for different kinds of birds so they prefer to keep them close others keep them for decorative reasons. In this article we will review what we consider the proper steps to follow to best eliminate this very common problem. Humans are most at risk for infection when dry bird feces become airborne and travel through air vents and opens windows. Babies can only be removed through hands-on techniques. Why birds are trapped? There are different reasons which compel people to keep birds in cages like some have a love for different kinds of birds so they prefer to keep them close others keep them for decorative reasons. Another method of controlling birds is to trap the current roosting birds, immediately ending the problems they cause.

Not only in the means of making your business look less attractive, but also in that your customers need to worry about what may happen as they make their way in and out of your business. Either way, you don't want that area to be their favorite spot to kick back and relax. We know that even if an annoyance, these are living creatures trying to carve out their own place in the world, and yet not always in the most effective means. Exposure to bird roosts and nests that are heavily contaminated with dangerous fungal spores found in droppings increases the chance of inhalation. If birds do take up residence within a vent, they should be removed immediately to prevent the obstruction of air flow and reduce the very real risk of fires. The last and final step to a simple bird in vent removal is to disinfect the vent system; This is a very important part of the process and one that should never be skipped. The best treatment for smaller birds, this gel effectively repels birds by its sheer stickiness. If birds become a problem, contact your pest management professional and ask him or her to develop a bird control program specifically tailored for your home or business. If it is very early in the spring then the bird may not be as vested, or as difficult to deal with as they may be later in the spring when eggs or young are involved. Once you have determined the extent of the nesting and any other obstructions, you ready to proceed. Our first priority is to provide bird control solutions with a long term effect.
