Thessa lageman7/11/2023 ![]() “When one tree is harvested, generally three or four trees are planted and when harvested, all parts of the tree are used carefully,” he adds. “This is an opportunity for the innovative pulp industry in areas ranging from textiles to health care.” To substitute for losses, he calls for renewable materials like cellulose pulp to be used to link the circular economy to sustainable natural cycles. “This is true for all materials in the circular economy, not only paper.” “This means you cannot collect enough from yesterday’s consumption for tomorrow’s growing needs,” says Ringman. In practice, paper can only be recycled five to seven times, because, besides the fact that not all paper is returned to the paper producers, part of the fibres get lost during the recovery, collection and sorting process. “Natural fibres used for paper have the same characteristics.” ![]() “When you wear your favourite t-shirt for years, it will also get holes,” explains Ringman. After 20 to 25 times, wood fibres are worn out. However, producers like the label material supplier UPM Raflatac, for example, recently developed a new type of glue for labels that can now easily be separated from the paper during the recycling process Some of the final products cannot be recycled currently on a large scale, says Krauthauf. “We work closely together with the suppliers of ink, glue and machines to make sure we can reuse the paper.” “Everybody has a responsibility to recycle,” says Krauthauf, who is also Chairman of the International Association of the Deinking Industry (INGEDE). “However, if someone puts a newspaper in the general waste bin, we can’t get it back.” Tissue-based products such as toilet paper, diapers and paper tissues usually cannot be recycled. ![]() Both UPM and CEPI are advocating measures to reverse this. “Unfortunately, in some regions, especially in Eastern Europe, the level of collection is low,” says Krauthauf. But there are some barriers to reaching that goal. The signatories of the new European Declaration on Paper Recycling have committed to reaching a 74% paper recycling rate by 2020. In 2017, 72.3% of all paper consumed in Europe was recycled, according to the European Paper Recycling Council. In fact, recycling in the industry has increased by 49% since 1998 to reach 19.5 million tonnes. Paper companies started to buy their paper back from the local authorities, ensuring that recyclable material is always available. “Recycling graphic paper, like newspapers and magazines, on a large, organised scale started in the 60s,” says Thomas Krauthauf, Vice President RCP & CEWS at UPM Communication Papers. The circular economy approach continues to serve the industry well even in modern times. When the demand for paper grew in the 19th century, and there wasn’t enough recycled textile available, cellulose fibre was introduced. “The first paper in medieval times came from recycled textiles,” he explains. “Paper has always been recycled,” says Jori Ringman, Deputy Director General at the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI), a non-profit-making organisation, based in Brussels. For the pulp and paper industry, this model hits close to home. Unlike the traditional ‘take and make’, a circular economy thrives on a ‘Reuse and Recycle’ model. So what could be the solution? Circular economies might hold the answer.Ī circular economy is a system aimed at maximising the use of resources and reducing waste by making the best possible use of a product. As a result, the world is seized by the problem of balancing rising demand for raw materials, with a finite supply. ![]() The world will have 2 billion new middle-class consumers by 2030, which inevitably means consumption levels will increase. Publishers use these marks when books are returned to them.
Barcode bar7/11/2023 ![]() Eventually, everyone who owned a smartphone possessed a QR scanner in their pocket. In 2002, Sharp introduced the first cellphone with a QR scanner and competing cellphone companies followed suit. Hara and Denso Wave foresaw the future of QR codes in other industrial settings, but they didn’t anticipate its popularity amongst small businesses and ordinary individuals.Įverything changed when cellphones included cameras, because a camera is the perfect technology for reading QR codes. ![]() In a strategic move, Denso Wave made QR code technology freely available to the public but sold the scanner technology to read them. Hara and his Denso Wave team successfully made his vision a reality and developed the QR Code (Quick Response Code). Hara realized a grid system could hold much more information in a single code and could also be read from multiple directions, angles, and distances-thus speeding up production times. One glance at a Go board will make you see the connection between QR. If you’ve never played Go before, it consists of a 19×19 grid with black and white stones placed throughout. In 1994, a Denso Wave employee named Masahiro Hara conjured up the idea of QR codes while playing the game Go. The company struggled meeting deadlines simply because bar codes slowed production. Additionally, because bar codes need to be scanned from one direction, they ran into production backups when their scanners couldn’t read the bar codes on the variety of shapes and sizes of automotive parts. Due to the limited storage capabilities of barcodes, Denso Wave had to apply as many as 10 bar codes on a single product just to properly track and communicate information. The Japanese automotive company, Denso Wave, was one of many to wrestle with the standard UPC code system. Slower grocery store lines inconvenience the ordinary consumer, but slower production lines in industrial factories negatively affect the bottom line, as we’ll learn in just a moment. On top of that, you must scan a UPC bar code from one specific direction to register the info, which slows everything down. Additionally, the UPC scanning equipment is expensive and not affordable or practical for the everyday person. While this was okay for 1970s supermarkets, the limited space presented problems as time went on and the requirement for more information grew. First, they can only hold limited amounts of information. However, as technology flourished through the 2000s to 2010s, the barcode revealed shortcomings. The UPC barcode successfully tracked products and sped up production and grocery store lines, and by the early 2000s society accepted it as the standard everywhere. IBM revisited this previously patented technology and restructured the bullseye barcodes into the vertical barcode we know today. Learn Moreįrom the 1950s to 1970s, society needed an efficient way to track items due to the mass production of products and increase of large grocery store chains. Other coffee infused drinks include their in-house redistilled gin with flavours like mango strawberry, blueberry, and hazelnut – if you can’t decide which to choose, try all three in a tasting flight.Defender makes security simple. Try out the Coffee and Yu, Barcode’s take on an espresso tonic with the addition of locally produced coffee liquor, and yuzu. Expect a menu of classic drinks and a roster of new signature coffee cocktails aka ‘coffee-tails’, designed to pair with their desserts and appeal to the sweet tooth crowd, like their Matcha Mousse parfait with chestnut. The brains behind the bar is tea-cocktail connoisseur and Tell Camellia 's co-founder Gagan Gurung. Located on Glenealy Street, just below Smoke & Barrel, the shop serves snacks and desserts, as well as a variety of hand drip coffee in the morning, but once the clock strikes six, head into their hidden room for some after-work drinks. Just like its name, Barcode, short for bar, coffee, and dessert, serves all three of those things. Update, March 1, 2023:The bar is relocating in Central, watch out for their reopening in April. Pcgen 5e data7/11/2023 ![]() ![]() I cannot act outside the confines of the license. In any case, this is not a bug, but an imposed restriction. ![]() In short, the SRD5 is the same game system, but less options than the official core books. The SRD also removes several popular attack spells. They include all the races, but only include a single subrace selection. If you compare the SRD5 against the Player's handbook, you'll also note that each class is represented, but only has a single Archetype choice at level 3, there is only one single Feat to select, there is only one background. Instead, these are pared / redacted documents that have enough to get you interested in the game, and if you want more, you need to purchase the books. The SRD5 has enough information to get you started, but unlike the SRD and RSRD of 3rd and 3.5e, these are not full copies missing just the closed content. I cannot include anything from outside the OGL of the SRD5 documentation. The Player's Handbook and the SRD5 are completely different animals. To explain this difference I will quote from their own guru regarding this matter: The PCGen team uses the official SRD5. ![]() For the skills, all you get is your stat bonus, and then if you selected a skill as proficient, it gains the proficiency bonus.
![]() – In this example the dreamer is feeling fear about being carried off by death.Įxample: ‘A dark grey sugar loaf form materialised. ![]() I shouted ‘Put me down! Put me down! I don’t want to go yet.’ She carefully lowered me onto the bed and disappeared.’ E. This shows her still very much in contact with her own cultural values and experiences.Įxample: ‘My husband’s mother, no longer alive, came and slid her arms carefully under me and lifted me up. A woman who had emigrated to Britain from a very different cultural background frequently dreamt, even twenty years afterwards, of people she knew in her native country. Therefore dreaming often of people we knew in the past would suggest that past experiences or lessons are very active at the moment, or we are reviewing those areas of our life. For instance a first boyfriend in a dream would depict all the emotions and struggles we met in that relationship, and what we learned from it or took away from it that still influences present relationships. Considering that the major part of our learning and experience occur in relationship to other people, such learning and experience can be represented by characters from the past. So, dead people can simply be people from our past. So, memories of the past can only be attained by a deep awareness of our core awareness. The soul or personality is built from the local memories stored in the new brain. These past lives are not remembered easily because the new soul that developed in the new body had no past connections because it has a new brain. Tendencies, unaccountable fears or talents, give the clue to these past selves. ![]() Searching within its own experience and memories it could never find memory of any past lives because our present brain has no connection with the past seeds, yet our seed is the collection of man, many lives lived. It lives with a new brain that doesn’t carry old memories. Our present personality has never existed before. The the flower dies and its essense or experience is drawn back into the bulb, and next season another unique flower emerges. A bulb can grow a new flower each year and each flower is a totally new and unique thing. As an example plants use very clever system with bulbs and other root systems. In doing so it uses many of the things that Life or Nature learnt from past life-forms that it uses in dealing with human life. ![]() but rather like an ancient historic edifice to which wings and sections were added at different times and which was not modernised until it was almost completed.” See Levels of the Brain And from that slime which is a vehicle for our seed to exist in, our awareness goes through the whole process of evolution as we develop in mother’s womb, the dividing of cells, the forming of structure and organs, the creation of a creature with gills, and on to a human type form ready to breathe air, carrying your seed onwards.Īs one textbook states, “A human is not constructed like a modern office building, as cheaply and efficiently as possible. Consciousness on our planet started in the slime of creation, the slime we return to, to procreate. A seed is a return to the source of life and it/our beginnings under the sun. We all started from the original one cell, and we, you and I, are the result of gathered experience.Īs adults we believe we are complete and whole. In dividing it constantly creates copies of itself, but as it does so it gathers new experience, it changes what is copied, so becomes the ‘seed’ for multi-cellular organism. For instance, a single cell, which is a seed from which all life forms evolved from, doesn’t become old or die because it is immortal, for it keeps dividing and doesn’t die. It is wise to understand something before you read what else has been said. When someone close to us dies we go through a period of change from relating to them as an external reality, to meeting and accepting them as alive in our memories and inner life.

Coming back to earth Old absinthe house7/11/2023 ![]() But also had more of the liquorice taste that David was looking for.ĭavid likes liquorice drinks so he definitely wanted to visit an absinthe bar in Prague. David was told to sip slowly and hold the liquor in this mouth before swallowing. For this Tomas provided a small glass with the very strong, high drug content (200mg/l not 25mg/l) macerated absinthe. Not to be content with drinking the watered down version, David asked Thomas about taking a shot straight. For those people not used to drinking straight alcohol, it was one sip of water to one sip of the watered down absinthe. He also made sure we had another glass of cold water. When the glass was full, Tomas gave us the full glass of absinthe and water. As the water droplets continued, the absinthe in the glass turned a more milky consistency, called the louche effect. Tomas used a light to show us the colour. In a little bit of time as the absinthe was diluted, the liquid turned green. Tomas opened one of the spigots and let water droplets fall slowly into the glass of absinthe. The glass was then put under a large glass container filled with ice water. It looked like a clear liquor at this point. We chose to taste test one of the good distilled absinthes (St Antoine – 70% alcohol and 25mg/l thujone). So we had a bit of an idea of what the absinthe process was like. We watched Tomas take another couple through a taste test. We enjoyed just looking around when we chose to visit an absinthe bar in Prague. The lower bar level had another extensive collection of different types of absinthe bottles. Of course, no discussion of absinthe is complete without some discussion about Vincent Van Gogh. Many of the decorations were absinthe in theme. Green devils were sometimes offset by colourful fairies.Įverywhere we looked we saw an eclectic collection of knick knacks. The theme of green devils was repeated throughout the shop. ![]() We should have known when we looked at the shop from the outside that the inside would prove to be equally as interesting. The Green Devil’s Absinthe Bar Was An Interesting Spot He could hardly taste the liquorice flavour! But that did not have the punch he was looking for. David started with an absinthe ice cream cone. He definitely wanted to visit an absinthe bar in Prague. But he wanted to sample the local Czech or Bohemian variety. David engaged Tomas in a discussion and we were invited to go downstairs to the bar for a tasting.ĭavid had tried absinthe in France. Pot was decriminalized in Prague in 2010. Along with an interesting display case of cannabis products. In the main showroom, there were many different absinthes for sale. The Green Devil’s Absinth Bar had a large supply of both versions. The more expensive and rare form is distilled. It is bitter and often served with sugar. The more common and less expensive version is mixed and macerated. The actual chemical is thujone and it is illegal in many countries.Ībsinthe (or absinth) is made in two forms in the Czech Republic. Wormwood in the absinthe is responsible for the hallucinogenic side effects sometimes claimed. Anise and fennel gives it a liquorice flavour. That was the spot David picked for our adventure.Ībsinthe is a high alcohol drink made from a variety of herbs. It was lit up at night with a green glow, like the drink that is referred to as the “green fairy”. One of the places he found was the Green Devil’s Absinth Bar. One night David went out after dark to look for interesting pictures. After our river cruise one day, we decided to do a detour to visit an absinthe bar in Prague. When we looked at things to do in Prague, we found two large absinthe bars. Absinthe is widely found in the Czech Republic. When we visited the town of Cognac, we needed to sample a range of cognacs. You can’t visit Porto without trying the port wine. We alway like to try the local food and drink when we travel. Texworks preview7/11/2023 ![]() The user has to write a shell or batch script to use such workflows with TeXworks. This is a design choice, because such workflows are considered too advanced for the beginning user. One limitation of TeXworks is, that it does not by itself support multi-stage typesetting, like, for example, PNG or SVG output via intermediate DVI. MiKTeX 2.8 (and 2.9) comes bundled with TeXworks, even in the base installation. So, any 'source' TeX editor can be turned into partial WYSIWYG editor by opening such a reader in an adjacent window. evince) automatically reload the PDF document when it is updated on the disk. TeXworks requires a TeX installation: TeX Live, MiKTeX, or MacTeX. WYSIWYG means that see the output file automatically updated during the edit. Kew argued against complex user interfaces like that of TeXnicCenter or Kile, which he described as intimidating for new users. It has an extension called Latex-workshop which you can preview your code in the side, each time you save the file it compiles and the preview changes to latest version. Either TeXworks does not pull them in correctly (so they always assume a light theme), or the 'standard icons' may be implemented incorrectly - in which case it's probably a Qt bug. So ideally they should be aware of the surrounding theme. The developer of TeXworks is Jonathan Kew (who also developed XeTeX), who deliberately modelled TeXworks on Richard Koch’s award-winning TeXShop software for macOS to lower the entry barrier to the TeX world for those using desktop operating systems other than macOS. Some things (like the close button you mention) are actually 'standard icons' not specific to TeXworks. It has a built-in PDF viewer using the poppler library the viewer has auto-refresh capability, and also features SyncTeX support (which allows the user to synchronize the PDF viewer position with the source, and vice versa with a single click). TEXworks is only a text editor to be able to create documents with (LA)TEX and to typeset them to PDF, we also need what is called a TEX distribution. TeXworks is targeted at direct generation of PDF output. ![]() It is a Qt-based graphical user interface to the TeX typesetting system and its LaTeX, ConTeXt, and XeTeX extensions. TeXworks is free and open-source application software, available for Windows, Linux and macOS. |
