I'm starting to learn Danish, but I don't know anyone who speaks it
Hej! I'm a native English speaker and I've always been fascinated by language. I've recently taken interest in the Danish language. I know that, when learning a language, practicing both written and spoken conversation is really essential. I've read that this is often particularly important with Danish. However, I don't know anyone who knows Danish :/ Do any of you have any tips on how I could possibly connect with some Danish-speaking people, like communities online? Or maybe would anyone here be willing to help me out with some basic conversational stuff? Doesn't necessarily need to be spoken, just practice with interacting in the language. Thank you for reading!

Alexa, What's The Future Of AI?
You can ask Amazon’s Alexa anything. Is she making us lazy or giving us time for other things? We’ll talk with Alexa. Once upon a time, we dreamed of artificial intelligence in outer space, in a sci-fi future, far from home. Now, we’re talking with computers in our kitchens.  Asking them anything. “Alexa, what’s the Inaugural Oath?” “How big is a blue whale?” “What’s the square root of seven trillion forty two?” Does this ambient, ask-it-anything-anytime AI give us superpowers? Make us great? Make us lazy? And what comes next? This hour On Point,  talking with Alexa, and humans, about the AI future. — Tom Ashbrook Guests Hiawatha Bray, tech reporter for the Boston Globe.

When a stream of shot impinges a metal surface, a near-surface layer undergoes an intensive cold working resulting in material property changes. One of the effects induced by shot peening, a near-surface compressive stress, helps to slow down initiation and propagation of surface breaking cracks resulting in an extended fatigue life of a component. The capability to non-destructively evaluate near-surface residual stress would greatly aid the assurance of proper fatigue life in these components. This paper presents results from an ultrasonic characterization study of shot peened Waspaloy surfaces. Rayleigh wave velocity measurements by a V(z)-curve method were made on smooth and shot peened samples using line-focus ultrasonic transducers. Several factors are believed to influence measured surface wave velocity including surface roughness, near-surface grain reorientation (texture), and residual stress. In this study we estimate quantitatively the effect of these factors and discuss how these effects can b...
A laser-ultrasonic technique is described to non-destructively determine residual stresses in metals such as those produced by shot peening. The method is based on monitoring the small ultrasonic velocity change of the laser-generated surface skimming longitudinal wave (LSSLW) propagating just below the surface. The main advantage of using LSSLW is that the effect of surface roughness induced by shot peening is greatly reduced compared to using surface acoustic waves (SAW). To improve resolution in the measurement of small velocity changes, a cross-correlation technique is used with a reference signal taken on the same but unstressed material in similar conditions. Also, the low-frequency SAW can be used to correct the LSSLW results when affected by minute changes in the path length during the measurements. The validity of the approach is demonstrated by measuring quantitatively the near surface stress in a four-point bending experiment with different levels of surface roughness. Then, scanning results on properly and improperly laser shock peened samples are reported. In particular, the LSSLW velocity variations for the properly peened samples clearly show an increase in the laser-peened area well indicative of a compressive stress.

Figure out how to lay the best groundwork for your creative life with this book.
Everyone interested in a creative endeavor needs to read this book. The subtitle, "An Energy Makeover for Artists, Explorers, and Creative Professionals" couldn't be more straight on. Maziarz looks at energy with a zoom lens, and invites readers to be ready for their energy close-up, as well. So, what does kick-ass creativity look like in action and how do you define it? Mazriaz answers all this and more. She offers resources, action paths, and a Q&A for kick-ass specifics. For example, the chapter on resources isn't just about where to go and who to see. It's about you. It's about your resources: time, money, age, and experience. How do we capitalize on all of these things? The tidbits that are offered here will make you think. Do you want more time to create? From Maziarz "If you really want more time for yourself and your creative work, start by figuring out exactly what more time means for you. What kind of time do you want?" Whether it's an hour or two that you are aiming for or an 8-hour stretch, you need to think about what it is you need. I am a big believer that if you can name, you can have it. To say you want more time is too vague, and Maziarz helps you to define what it is you want. If other commitments are an issue, Maziarz addresses that, too. With action paths, Maziarz asks you to be ready. Let's consider the practical aspect: if you were discovered tomorrow, would you be ready to feed the public? Do you have items in stock? Do you have marketing materials? Do you have a website and a mailing list? Essentially, are you ready to seize the deeper fullness of the moment? The Q&A section offers exactly that, questions and answers, but it is also peppered throughout with advice in the margins and things to think about. Some questions and concerns include: "I think I'm ready to begin selling my work, but I don't know where to start." "I think it would help if I had someone to represent my work. When is it time to get an agent? How do I get a good one?" and BONUS Maziarz offers a fill-in-the-blank Creative Soul Search to help you focus on what it is you want to do and helps you figure out the how. There's nothing like putting your thoughts on paper to make them real or to help you figure out what it is you want. The tools to create the best groundwork for your art, your creativity, and your life are laid out in this book. Pick up a copy today!

Slowest diverging sum of reciprocals of integer sequence How can you construct a series $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac 1{a_n}$$ which diverges very slowly to infinity where $a_n$ is always a positive integer and $a_{n+1}>a_n$? I know that if $a_n=p_n$, where $p_n$ is the nth prime, then the series diverges slowly. Is there a series that diverges even slower?
Is there a slowest rate of divergence of a series? $$f(n)=\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{1}{i}$$ diverges slower than $$g(n)=\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{1}{\sqrt{i}}$$ , by which I mean $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}(g(n)-f(n))=\infty$. Similarly, $\ln(n)$ diverges as fast as $f(n)$, as $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}(f(n)-\ln(n))=\gamma$, so they 'diverge at the same speed'. I think there are an infinite number of 'speeds of divergence' (for example, $\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{1}{i^k}$ diverge at different rates for different $k<1$). However, is there a slowest speed of divergence? That is, does there exist a divergent series, $s(n)$, such that for any other divergent series $S(n)$, the limit $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}(S(n)-s(n))=\infty$ or $=k$? If so, are there an infinite number of these slowest series?

Implications of the British petroleum oil spill disaster for its industry peers – evidence from the market reaction and earnings quality
As one of the worst environmental catastrophes in US history, the British Petroleum (BP) Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill have profound implications for the oil and gas industry. This study examines the stock market reaction and earnings quality of BP's peers in response to the imminence of regulatory threats. Our empirical evidence indicates that a significantly negative intra-industry reaction occurred. In addition, petroleum companies with more extensive pre-disaster environmental disclosures experienced a less negative reaction. Finally, our analysis finds that petroleum companies tended to depress earnings via discretionary accruals post the BP oil spill. Our study is motivated by mounting attention to the increase in environmental risks and the need for enhancement in environmental accounting reporting requirements (The Securities and Exchange Commission 2010).

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's film with hubby Abhishek put on hold
New Delhi: It was almost eight years ago when Bollywood's IT couple Abhishek Bachchan and wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan shared screen space together in Mani Ratnam's 'Raavan'. And since then, the couple hasn't appeared together on the big screen. Recently, there was buzz that the duo has been approached by a filmmaker with a script and that they had given their nod to it. And just when it appeared that the real-life couple will be seen together in a movie, their union has been put on hold. A Bollywoodlife.com report claimed, "Abhishek-Aishwarya were in talks for a film with Shailesh R Singh. While Abhishek was already on board, discussions were on with Aishwarya and her team for the same. But the movie has supposedly been put on the back burner. In fact, the project has been pushed ahead indefinitely." The report added that both Abhishek and Aishwarya were supposed to play top cops who are married to each other and their relationship gets stuck in political crisis. As per sources, Aishwarya, who is otherwise known to be choosy about her scripts, wanted few alterations in the script, which did not take place. In the meantime, she took up another project and Abhishek too walked out of the project. "There were budget issues also with the project," the source told the website. In the past, Aishwarya and Abhishek were seen together in movies like 'Dhai Akshar Prem Ke', 'Kuch Naa Kaho', 'Umrao Jaan', 'Dhoom 2', 'Guru' and 'Paa'. In 'Bunty Aur Babli', which featured Abhishek, Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji in key roles, it was Aishwarya' special number 'Kajra Re' that became a chartbuster track for the longest time. It is also said that love sparks had ignited between Abhishek and Aishwarya during the shooting of this song, on the sets of 'Bunty Aur Babli'. Meanwhile, Abhishek will next be seen in Anurag Kashyap's directorial 'Manmarziyan' which is directed by Aanand L. Rai. The film also features Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal.

3D Terrestrial Laser Scanning to Witness High Demand Across Construction and Building Information Modeling (BIM) Applications, reports TMR
A key driver for the growth of terrestrial laser scanner manufacturers is the strong demand by application industries for greater product quality and efficiency. Using terrestrial laser scanners is vastly improving the rate of data capture, accuracy of measurement, and ease of positioning. Terrestrial laser scanners can also apply 3D scanning techniques for a much higher resolution of measurements than any other measurement technology present today. The use of 3D terrestrial laser scanners also helps reduce the time and cost of most projects, a factor increasingly valued by application industries such as construction and BIM in the current boom in construction projects. Another key value added by terrestrial laser scanners to industrial transportation, and residential sectors is safety. These scanners can provide real-time data on objects and structures by measuring a large number of points within a short span of time, thus allowing quicker calculations to occur while constructing highways, buildings, and even during surveying. Request Sample @ https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S&rep_id=3950 The global terrestrial laser scanning market is expected to progress at a CAGR of 14.9% in terms of revenue, from 2015 to 2023. By the end of 2016, this revenue is expected to reach US$958.95 mn and is expected to be valued at US$2.52 bn by the end of 2023. APAC Retains Lead in Terrestrial Laser Scanner Market Value By the end of 2023, Asia Pacific will hold a share of 31.81% in the global terrestrial laser scanners market. This is a major increment from its market share from 2014, and is attributed to the overwhelming rate of use in the region’s booming construction industry after 2000. The Asia Pacific market for terrestrial laser scanners is boosted by the strong demand shown by China, Australia, and Malaysia and their fast-growing construction industries. The Asia Pacific region is not only base for a large number of key players in the market, but is also showing an increased demand for 3D terrestrial laser scanners, a factor which will help compliant players in the near future in terms of procuring demand. India, Japan, and Australia are particularly expressing a high demand for solid-state terrestrial laser scanners, while China is expressing a high demand for diode terrestrial laser scanners. China and Japan are also showing a speedy increase in demand for fiber terrestrial laser scanners.

The deduced amino acid sequences of the products of two of them ( yfiJ and yfiK ) exhibit high similarity to those of a sensor protein, DegS, and a transcriptional regulatory protein, DegU, of Bs , respectively. Three of them ( yfiL, yfiM and yfiN ) seem to be ABC transporter genes. One orf (designated as lipB ), the closest to the sspE among the nine orfs , is the second lipase gene in Bs

Background ::: The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as indomethacin, ibuprofen, and nimesulide, during pregnancy has been reported to cause nephrotoxicity in the fetus. However, neonatal renal failure following antenatal exposure to diclofenac has not been reported in the literature. We report three cases of neonatal renal failure, including a pair of twins, following ingestion of diclofenac by the mother during pregnancy.
In utero exposure to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIAs) can produce combinations of oligohydramnios, a bleeding diathesis, ileal perforation, premature closure of the ductus, and acute or chronic renal injury. NSAIAs induce renal dysgenesis in fetal monkeys and renal structural abnormalities in the developing human fetus. We report oligohydramnios and renal failure associated with in utero exposure to early, prolonged, high-dose indomethacin in four neonates, and to ibuprofen in one neonate. Four of the affected neonates were one of twins. In each set of twins, only one of the pair was affected. One set of twins was proven to be identical, whereas the other three sets seemed to be identical. It is possible that the histopathological findings of uncertain or incomplete tubular differentiation may be the result of a direct effect of NSAIAs on developing or “immature” tubules. Therefore, the advantages of NSAIAs as tocolytics need to be weighed against the complication of severe renal injury.

Temperature dependence of the dissolution enthalpy of the La2CuO4 and Nd2CuO4 phases and complex formation in cuprate melts
Abstract Dissolution enthalpies of the La 2 CuO 4 and Nd 2 CuO 4 phases have been defined in the copper oxide melt. It has been shown that an abrupt change of the dissolution enthalpy of La 2 CuO 4 at 1090°C is attributed to a change of complex type. The possibility of Nd 2 Cu 2 O 5 crystallization in the Nd 2 O 3 CuO system was discussed.

How come health insurance companies do not drive down the cost of health products and services?
Health insurance companies often *do* reduce the cost of health services. They try, though they don't always succeed. They'd certainly like to pay less! (That doesn't mean they want to charge the insured consumer less, necessarily, but whether they do that or not, they do want to pay less for the service, and they do have some clout) Health insurance and costs in the USA are very complex interactions of lots of different things, poorly understood. But for your specific question, listen to [this episode of *This American Life*](_URL_0_) if you want a really good explanation of a piece of it.

It all sounds more involved than it is - it's a pretty quick read and enjoyable for what it is
This is a very quick and engaging read, a page turner. Veronica's husband, a pilot, has gone missing. It seems her 3 year old daughter might have predicted his death - but then again, maybe she's providing hints that Veronica was responsible for his death. Veronica discovers she didn't know her husband as well as she thought, as his job, employer, and weekly trips turn out to be fictional. The contents of their joint Safe Deposit box provide more unanswered questions. Through it all, Veronica is contemplating her family's history of schizophrenia and dealing with the physical and emotional aspects of stopping infertility treatment and medications. It all sounds more involved than it is - it's a pretty quick read and enjoyable for what it is.

Fast car with short battery life
This car goes so fast, I couldn't even get it to its top speed in a room about 12 ft wide. The only problem is the battery life is only about 5 minutes. Other good and bad aspects are: good--the car is durable. I mentioned it's fast so it's important that it has withstood bumping into the wall quite a few times. bad--it speed while turning is strangely slow compared to the straight-driving speed. When the battery starts running down, it can't turn at all.

Expression of PTP-BAS gene and its clinical value in human primary renal cell carcinoma
Objective:To investigate the expression of the PTP BAS gene in human primary renal cell carcinoma(RCC) and the relationship between its expression level and the pathologic features of the tumor.Methods:In 31 RCC samples,the expression of the PTP BAS mRNA was detected by Northern blot.The correlations between the expression of the PTP BAS mRNA and pathologic features were studied.Results:The expression of the PTP BAS mRNA in the RCC was significantly weaker than that in the adjacent renal tissues( P 0.01).It was also found that there was a low expression of the PTP BAS mRNA in the RCC cell strains 786 O and no significant correlation between the expression level and the various pathologic types of the tumor.Conclusion: PTP BAS is supposed to play a role,as a suppressor gene,in the development and RCC progress.

what are heating and cooling curves?
heating and cooling curves are commonly used in steel manufacture. It is used in heat treatment. Different rates of heating and cooling gives the steels different properties by the formation of dendrites forming at different rates. Fast cooling gives smaller dendrites. These curves are also used for stress relieving of steel and welds where the weld area has been affected structually by the heat effected zone. Welds are stress relieved to avoid stress fractures forming later.

Title: Laparoscopic Approach in Patient with Situs Inversus Totalis and Colelithiasis: a Case Report. ::: Background: Situs Inversus Totalis is a rare clinical condition that gives a mirror aspect to the position of the organs. It is a congenital condition and though it does not affect normal health or longevity, it may be a challenge in cases requiring surgical intervention. ::: Case: The authors report a case of cholelithiasis in a patient with previous diagnosis of Situs Inversus Totalis. The patient presented abdominal pain, related to eating and associated with nausea and vomiting. After the image exams, it was performed the surgical procedure, without intercurrences. ::: Conclusion:Situs Inversus Totalis is a challenge for surgical approach because of the mirrored configuration of the organs, which can lead to misdiagnosis. Using image exams anda complete evaluation of the patient helps the correct management in caso of surgical procedures, and consequently influence in the prognosis.
PURPOSE ::: To report and describe a safe approach to laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with situs inversus totalis. ::: ::: ::: METHODS ::: We present the case of a 61-year-old male who was diagnosed with gallstones and situs inversus totalis during work-up for epigastric pain. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in mirror-image to the standard approach, with the surgeon standing on the patient's right side. In order to maintain orientation and safety during the operation, anatomical structures were spatially related to each other in a "medial" and "lateral" manner, which are preserved in situs inversus; rather than "left" and "right" which are reversed. ::: ::: ::: RESULTS ::: The duration of the operation was 85 minutes, which is slightly longer than our standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Nonetheless, the patient was discharged on the morning following surgery, which is comparable to other patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. He was seen in follow-up on postoperative day 14 and was doing very well. There were no postoperative complications. ::: ::: ::: CONCLUSION ::: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be performed safely in patients with situs inversus totalis. Careful attention to unfamiliar anatomic relationships is important. Approaching the anatomy in terms of medial and lateral structures, a relationship that is preserved, is helpful to complete the procedure safely.

Is anger a genetic character inherited from our forefathers?
This is an ongoing debate in Science at the moment! When genetics was first discovered, one of the first things that was first asked was: "does our emotion come DNA".\n\nUnfortuntly, there are still no answers. Certain scientists have found that those people that have violent/anger tendancies often have the same gene somewhere in their chromosomes. However, this is not what makes you violet - and so far they can only suggest that it increases the chances of making you more suseptible to anger/violence. Other scientific studies have been inconclusive!\n\nMany people still believe in the "environmental" factor - The believe that your actions, your personality and the type of person you are is determined by your environment: Where you live, how you are were brought up etc.\n\nSo, the answer is: Nobody Knows!\n\nI hope that helps!\nTom
