The Ideal

There has been much discussion in the Florida Fresh Citrus Industry about the possibility of handling lemons in a conventional packing house. The advantages of keeping idle machinery and key people productive in the summer months are obvious if the special problems of handling this variety can be overcome. This can be done and is being done successfully by two Florida Packing Houses, Golden Gem Growers, Inc. in Umatilla and Gracewood Fruit Company in Vero Beach. This concept requires a few specific facilities which are not found in all Florida packing houses but are present in many. This paper will discuss these facilities plus others which are desirable if available. The Fresh Lemon Industry in Florida is a young and growing industry. It is rather unique in that the fruit matures during a time of year when no other Florida Citrus is in season. Since the major problem facing most Florida fresh fruit operations is the lack of full utilization of packing equipment, there has been some interest in utilizing this idle capacity during the summer for packing lemons. There has been much debate over the wisdom of this approach since the handling of lemons in a conventional packing house presents many difficulties which must be solved to have a successful operation. The basic technology for packing fresh Florida Lemons has been worked out for several years. The ideal situation of course is to have a packing plant designed specifically for lemons which would run lemons only. It would have all the machinery, equipment, and cold rooms necessary to do a good job. However, the only way this approach can be justified is to control enough lemons that this plant could be operated for several months each year. It would require approximately one-half the present bearing acreage of Florida Lemons to support such a plant. Therefore the ideal situation for a company with a conventional packing house with nothing to pack in August and usually September would be to pack lemons in this plant if the obstacles can be overcome. The advantages of such an operation are fairly obvious. The units packed during this period could do much to lower the unit overhead cost for the entire year. In addition the Supervisory and other Key people would become much more productive during this period of time. The same is true for the sales organization. This is the line of reasoning that led us into the fresh lemon packing business. In 1970 one of our members, Callery-Judge Groves requested we consider packing fresh lemons since they grew lemons and were very interested in having them packed fresh if at all possible. They furnished the fruit to experiment with so that we could find out how our machinery would do with lemons. Our first experiment was with twelve pallet bins of lemons which we handled in many different ways. After this experiment they furnished us with two trailer loads of lemons which we packed and sold on the fresh fruit market with good results. From that cautious beginning this operation has grown to the point where we stay extremely busy on lemons during the months of August and September, sometimes beginning in July and ending in October. To further discuss this subject I would like to break it down into several points which I consider important in the handling of fresh lemons in a conventional packing house. The first four points are absolutely essential. The remaining points are certainly desirable, but not as important as the first four. Paper published with permission.

Abstract In this paper the simplified method to evaluate final efforts using γ z coefficient is studied considering the variation of the second order effects with the height of the buildings. With this purpose, several reinforced concrete buildings of medium height are analyzed in first and second order using ANSYS software. Initially, it was checked that the (z coefficient should be used as magnifier of first order moments to evaluate final second order moments. Therefore, the study is developed considering the relation (final second order moments/ first order moments), calculated for each story of the structures. This moments relation is called magnifier of first order moments, "γ", and, in the ideal situation, it must coincide with the γ z value. However, it is observed that the reason γ /γ z varies with the height of the buildings. Furthermore, using an statistical analysis, it was checked that γ /γ z relation is generally lower than 1.05 and varies significantly in accordance with the considered building and with the presence or not of symmetry in the structure.

Abstract  Stigma in today's society considers more sex workers as the dregs of society who only regarded as an immoral person who violates the norms of religion and society, so they are not appreciated. A prostitute is almost the majority have families, both parents, brother, husband or child. Communities usually negative view sex workers family and those views may influence the psychological development of child prostitutes. This study aims to determine the child's self-concept of prostitutes who live in the community.This study uses a qualitative case study approach, which is a special phenomenon that is present in a limited context, although the boundaries between phenomenon and context are not entirely clear. Determination techniques are the subject of the researchers used snowball sampling or chain sampling. The research was conducted in two villages that are within the scope of the district in one district on the island of Java. The subject of this study were children and adolescents aged prostitute who is still undergoing formal schooling.This study found that the first subject has a good self concept. There is not much of a gap between the basic self-concept and ideal self-concept on the subject. The first subject has a perceptual self-concept is not good because the subject is not satisfied with the current physical condition and there are gaps in the basic perceptual components and ideal self-concept. As for the conceptual and attitudinal self concept self concept can be considered a good subject because there is no gap between the conceptual and attitudinal components of the basic categories and ideal self-concept. While the second subject has a poor self-concept, as there are many gaps between the basic self-concept and ideal self concept on the subject. The subject has a perceptual selfconcept is not good, because the subject was not satisfied with his physical condition and his subjects make the situation as a benchmark of the ideal situation for him. In addition, the subject has attitudinal poor self concept.  Keywords: Self-concept, children, sex workers, society, qualitative

Mercury degassing is a global process. In geological development, it begins with the formation of deep fractures that can penetrate the great depths of the mantle. As the linearity lengthens, the temporal degassing and intensity of mercury weaken this connection with the depths of its individual parts and the Earth, or the period of strengthening of this connection will vary depending on the development of the characteristics observed. The concentration of mercury and antimony-mercury ores along the outer frame of circular and oval and other structures can most likely be explained by the Earth's total mercury degassing. In our opinion, the ideal situation is the junction of circular, oval, and other structures with linear nodes, where industrially important deposits of minerals can be formed.

Many thanks to Apollo, Aesculapius, Hygeia, Panacea, and all the gods and goddesses of health for the May 1981 issue of Pediatrics. In "Fever and Convulsions..." Jaffe et al concluded "that the only routine investigation indicatd, even in the absence of clinical suspicion, is a lumbar puncture. In ideal situations even this procedure may be omitted. Other investigations should be performed only if the clinical features of the case warrant them." I would amend the "ideal situation" to: if and when a clinician with the usual qualification to practice is available, the lumbar puncture should be omitted.

Situation awareness (the Good) is a challenging approach aiming at realizing artifacts being aware of what happens in the environment around them. Big data (the Ugly) includes datasets whose magnitude is far away of being processed by traditional techniques. The Bad is the authors' framework that, even knowing about the ideal situation, represented by the Good, they realize the presence of the Ugly and face a decision, even knowing that it will not be the best but it is still important in order to mine nuggets from the cache of gold. As in every successful story, the authors' mission is to make the ‘Bad' increasingly ‘Good'. To make their artifact increasingly aware of, it is needed the domain expert's contribution, as argued by the methodology analysis to which there is mention.

Abstract Objectives: This study aims to examine future planning among older caregivers for family members with intellectual disability or mental illness, focusing on preferences, predictors and barriers. Method: Data were drawn from 260 caregivers (aged 50 or older) to a family member with intellectual disability or mental illness in Shanghai, China. Caregivers rated six types of future care arrangement under three circumstances: (1) the ideal situation, (2) unable to provide care due to age-related illnesses, and (3) caregivers are deceased. Socio-demographic factors associated with future planning were examined using multinomial logistic regression. Caregivers also rated twelve barriers to future planning. Results: Government-subsidized care facility is the most preferable care arrangement across the three circumstances. While continuing family care was still preferred if caregivers were to become sick or deceased, it was a less preferred option in the ideal situation. Common barriers were the cost of institutional care and the inadequate skills of the staff. Regarding the predictors of future planning, the older the caregivers were, the less likely they had no future plans. Caregivers were more likely to prefer family care over institutional care if their family members had mild impairment. Caregivers of a family member with mental illness were more likely to have no future planning than caregivers of a family member with intellectual disability. Conclusion: This study identified the needs of older caregivers for future planning specific to different circumstances. It also identified demographic profiles of future planning and the caregiver population at risk of no future planning.

ABSTRACT In an effort to agro-tourism development at Subak Uma Lambing, it is necessary to analyze the potential, form of development, and suitability between the ideal situation and the actual situation of subak. Based on that, it is necessary to do analysis based on the concept of Tri Hita Karana. The purpose of this study is to analyze the potential,  the  form of agro-tourism  development,  and  the suitability between the ideal situation and the actual situation at Subak Uma Lambing related to the agro-tourism development based on Tri Hita Karana concept. This research used pekaseh and tourism actors as a main informant, and the member of subak as respondent. Methods and techniques of data collection used are observation, in-depth interviews, questionaires, documentation, and triangulation. Data analysis methods and techniques used are qualitative descriptive analysis, and matrices analysis of relationships between technology sub-systems and cultural sub- systems. The results showed that Subak Uma Lambing has the potential of tourist attraction,  transportation  type,  electricity  flow  and  lighting.  Roads,  parking  lots, health facilities, food and beverage kiosks, souvenir shops, lodging, and accessibility based on distance and ease with other tourist locations. Agro-tourism is developed using an mindset aspect, social aspect, and artifacts aspect with alternative forms of agro-tourism is tracking, jogging, cycling, metekap, nandur, manyi, feeding cows, feeding fish, fishing trips, fruits and vegetables picking tours, studying rindic instruments, watching ritual activities, enjoy typical Balinese food, mejejahitan, capil wraping, traditional games, entertainment Balinese Dance and stay at krama subak home.
