Stop Topping Trees!
No full textTopping occurs when the vertical stem and upper primary limbs on mature trees are cut back to stubs at uniform height. A wiser alternative to topping is careful selection and training of your young trees. Avoid topping altogether. Allow your trees to realize their full potential for health and beauty in the landscape

Topping Ice Cream Business Plan
No full textThe brand Topping Ice Cream was established in the year 2013 May 18 without pervious planning or preparation. The urge of starting such business was initiated by two co-founders with the pure intension of providing a better product and with the right conscious. Because within the past 3 years, there have been increasing news reports regarding to the raising concern on human health problem. As people are becoming more health conscious, this has led to certain public concern on the quality of the product they have been indulging. Therefore, the goal of Topping Ice Cream is to deliver an image of purity, fun, honesty, innocence, and quality which consumers can be confident that Topping’s product is truly suitable for people of all ages. To ensure the long-term success of the Topping Ice Cream, this Business Plan is to provide a general structure of how the company should proceed and achieve within the next 8 years with two stages of investments; initial and future investments. The Business Plan includes a comprehensive planning and preparation of Topping Ice Cream’s strategies that help define the company brand and differentiates itself in this competitive global environment.I.

Get PDFA grid of 32 across-axis and five axis-parallel multichannel seismic (MCS) reflection profiles were acquired at an axial volcanic ridge (AVR) segment at 57° 45'N, 32° 35'W on the slow-spreading Reykjanes Ridge, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, to determine the along-axis variation and geometry of the axial magmatic system and to investigate the relationship between magma chamber structure, the along-axis continuity and segmentation of melt supply to the crust, the development of faulting and the thickness of oceanic layer 2A.Seismic reflection profiles acquired at mid-ocean ridges are prone to being swamped by high amplitude seabed scattered noise which can either mask or be mistaken for intracrustal reflection events. In this paper, we present the results of two approaches to this problem which simulate seabed scatter and which can either be used to remove or simply predict events within processed MCS profiles.The 37 MCS profiles show clear intracrustal seismic events which are related to the structure of oceanic layer 2, to the axial magmatic system and to the faults which dismember each AVR as it ages through its tectono-magmatic life cycle and which form the median valley walls. The layer 2A event can be mapped around the entirety of the survey area between 0.1 and 0.5 s two-way traveltime below the seabed, being thickest at AVR centres, and thinning both off-axis and along-axis towards AVR tips. Both AVR-parallel and ridge-parallel trends are observed, with the pattern of on-axis layer 2A thickness variation preserved beneath relict AVRs which are rafted off-axis largely intact.Each active AVR is underlain by a mid-crustal melt lens reflection extending almost along its entire length. Similar reflection events are observed beneath the offset basins between adjacent AVRs. These are interpreted as new AVRs at the start of their life cycle, developing centrally within the median valley. The east–west spacings of relict AVRs and offset basins is 5–7 km, corresponding to a life span of the order of 0.5–0.7 Myr, during which AVRs appear to undergo multiple 20–60 Kyr tectono-magmatic cycles.<br/
L-optimal transportation for Ricci flow
Get PDFWe introduce the notion of L-optimal transportation, and use it to construct a natural monotonic quantity for Ricci flow which includes a selection of other monotonicity results, including some key discoveries of Perelman [13] (both related to entropy and to L-length) and a recent result of McCann and the author [11]
