A novel approach to lightweight alumina-carbon refractories for flow control of molten steel
Functional refractory materials for flow control devices of molten steel in continuous casting used to be prepared from Al2O3-C refractories containing dense corundum aggregates. According to the traditional concept, the denser the refractories, the higher the strength of refractories. However, we prepared a new lightweight Al2O3-C refractory material using microporous corundum aggregates instead of dense corundum aggregates, which were reinforced by in situ formed SiC whiskers. A comparative analysis of microstructures and properties was carried out for conventional and lightweight Al2O3-C refractories with and without Si powder addition. We showed that microporous aggregates formed a better aggregate/matrix interface bonding and an improved distribution of SiC whiskers. The SiC whiskers formed not only in the matrix, but also inside of the microporous aggregates and at the aggregate/matrix interface by a vapor-solid reaction mechanism. Due to the formation of a microporous aggregate/matrix interface reinforced by SiC whiskers, the crack propagation along the aggregate/matrix interface was suppressed, whereas the percentage of cracks propagating within the aggregates was enhanced. Thus, the synergy between in situ formed SiC whiskers and microporous aggregates resulted in a significant higher strength of lightweight Al2O3-C refractories compared to conventional ones. The results therefore provide an original strategy to strengthen Al2O3-C refractories.

Bryce Clayton Newell has published Independent Creation and Originality in the Age of Imitated Reality: A Comparative Analysis of Copyright and Database Protection for Digital Models of Real People at 6 Brigham Young University International Law & Management Review 93 (2010). Here is the abstract.
This Article addresses a few of the issues that confront digital artists and modeling companies in the context of copyright law's requirements of originality and independent creation, and provides a comparative look at potential protection for these types of digital models under differing definitions of originality. In an age when animators deal with pixels as well as paint brushes, the laws of the United States potentially offer digital artists less protection in this context than do the laws of other countries, such as the United Kingdom and Australia. Specifically, the requirement of originality after Feist and the lack of sui generis database protection in the United States provide less protection for digital visual effects artists engaged in modeling reality than do the laws of these other jurisdictions. This Article examines some examples of recent advancements in digital imaging technology; specifically, the ability to create digital clones of preexisting things, such as living or deceased personalities and other, non-human, objects. The Article then provides a comparative analysis of copyright's requirement of originality in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, followed by a brief look at sui generis protection under the European Union's recent directive on the legal protection of databases.

This volume is dedicated to a small number of unique bronze 'bathtub' coffins found in 8th–6th century BC Babylonian, Assyrian and Elamite burial contexts. Usually treated as an incidental aspect of the burial process, these fascinating burial receptacles have until now garnered little in the way of academic interest. Here the author takes the opportunity to further explore the coffins, drawing together the widely dispersed information on their archaeological contexts, investigating the method and place of their manufacture, and establishing a possible date range for their production and use. To progress towards an understanding of the bronze 'bathtub' coffin burials within the broader context of regional funerary practices, they are then incorporated into an analysis of Neo-Babylonian, Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Elamite funerary ritual and belief. Finally the coffins are placed within the historical framework of these regions' socio-political interaction in an attempt to establish whether they represent a shared funerary tradition. Underpinning this study is the principle that mortuary evidence is the product of intentional behaviour; that the bronze 'bathtub' coffins represent a deliberate choice by the burying group and each would have featured in an emotionally and symbolically charged burial act.

Implementation intention as a cognitive strategy in STEM education : assessing pre-algebraic performance in 8th grade math instruction.
Access rightsNo access - Contact _EMAIL_
Nguyen, Megan, 1991-
MetadataShow full item record
Conceptualization of STEM has been a challenge due to varying perspectives within schools, school districts, and instructors. Implementation intention refers to a memory encoding strategy in which individuals explicitly specify retrieval cues to help them remember to perform goal directed actions. This study's objective was to examine if the integration of implementation intention encoding would differ from STEM students to students in a traditional classroom. Moreover, comparing math performance between students trained and not trained in an implementation intention strategy. Results from a 2 X 2 ANOVA test and reported means indicate that participants in the treatment groups at both schools performed better than their control counterparts. Additionally, there is a significant main effect for the STEM school participants overall compared to the traditional school participants. Effectiveness of implementation intention encoding suggests that it would be beneficial for educators to incorporate the strategy into instruction to produce self-regulated mathematical learners.

Based on the seasonal distribution character and its change about cloud and water vapor in Qilian mountain, the results as following: The total cloud is most in spring and it is take second place in summer. The low cloud is most in summer, it is take second place in spring. Both total cloud and low cloud is least in autumn and in winter. During the past 45 years, total cloud is decreasing and low cloud is increasing in spring and in summer, the precipitation is increasing at the same time, total cloud and low cloud and precipitation have a decreased tendency in autumn, total cloud and precipitation is adding in winter, but low cloud is reducing in winter. There are positive correlation between total cloud and precipitation in summer and in autumn. The positive correlation happened between low cloud and precipitation in spring and in summer and in autumn, but has negative correlation in winter at the middle and eastern part of Qilian mountain, which is not notable in winter. Vapor flux is transported to the Qilian mountain areas along two path, there is strong vapor flux convergence in this region, the value is from 0.1 to 0.05 kg/(m2·s) in the eastern part of Qilian mountain and is from 0.05 to 0 kg/(m2·s） in the middle and western part. Med and the Caspian sea and the Black sea and the Aral sea are the headstream of water vapor of Qilian mountain, but it is different in every season. The net vapor flux value is positive in spring after 1979 and which is adding also, which is positive and has a increasing trend in summer in past 45 years, but is negative in autumn and in winter. In brief, the water vapor resource in Qilian mountain has a good potency for exploitation in spring and summer.

Dr. Li's research interests focus primarily on climate dynamics, land-atmosphere interaction, hydroclimatology, and climate modeling. Her current research is to understand how the hydrological cycle changes in the current and future climate and their impacts on the ecosystems, subtropical high variability and change, unforced global temperature variability, and climate and health issues.


Vince Elliott, president and CEO of The Chemical Free Cleaning Network, Baltimore, Md., and author of "Extreme Green Cleaning," is no stranger to water-activated cleaning solutions; he's been studying their efficacy for some time.
Recently, Elliott connected with a custodial cleaning executive overseeing a high-traffic facility to examine the following questions:
- Do the various water-activated sanitizing technologies actually reduce Reflective Light Unit (RLU) levels as measured by an ATP meter?
- How do the differing technologies compare to each other? Does one perform better or worse, or are they all basically the same?
- What differences in efficacy are there between plain tap water and water-activated technologies?
While Elliott's research is ongoing, he has tested 760 surfaces in the facility so far and has learned a thing or two about the sanitizing products being used.
The goal of the study is to compare and contrast the efficacy of the more popular water-activated sanitizing products in a working environment, says Elliott. But based on an ATP test model of surfaces in the facility, the technologies just don't match the efficacy findings outlined in the lab tests.
He explains: "Lab findings are highlighted on the websites of the various technologies, which generally report a 99.9 to 99.999 percent effective rate for common germs. Our study, based on an ATP testing model, resulted in an effective rate of 71 to 85 percent."
The findings from the study, he notes, are obviously lower than the laboratory-based results being reported for these technologies. However, he's quick to add that no one is exaggerating their effectiveness.
"I'm not saying their results are wrong, because in a lab they are right," he explains. "What I'm saying is that out there where workers are scrubbing through the dirt, and may or may not be following instructions, these are the results — this is what is happening in the real world. Our data suggests that if the lab-based studies were repeated in the field, under everyday working conditions, the lab-based efficacy findings could be lower then the 99.9 percent."
Elliott adds that even if the real-world results for water-activated technologies aren't as high as those achieved in stringent lab-based testing, it is still a sustainability option facility executives should not ignore.

Water Spray System *********
Based System is designed to direct the water at the required density, from
nozzles having predetermined patterns to completely impinge water into the
hazard surface being protected.
High Velocity Water Spray System
system works uniquely effective against fire hazards involving heavy or medium
This system operates using the specifically designed nozzles depending on the
fire area, requirement of shape of spray cone and the water flow.
This system has capacity to reach to the surface of burning oil penetrating the
flame zone .This results into most important phenomenon called 'Emulsification'
Medium Velocity Water Spray System
water spray sprayers provide a continuous water spray with medium velocity
consisting of finely divided water droplets. These systems are ideal in
fighting against the fire involving light oils. As emulsification is not
possible in this case, the high velocity water spray systems cannot work in
this type of fire.

This book breaks new intellectual ground in the analysis of the German welfare state. Bleses and Seeleib-Kaiser argue that we are witnessing a dual transformation of the welfare state, which is caused by the emergence of new dominating interpretative patterns. Increasingly, the state reduces its social policy commitments towards securing the achieved living standard of former wage earners, which in the past had been the key normative principle of social policy in Germany, while at the same time public support and services for families are expanded.

Fish Landings Down in Q3 201212 November 2012
MALTA - In the third quarter of 2012, the reported volume and wholesale value of fish landings declined by 14.6 and 3.6 per cent respectively over the corresponding period last year.
Fish landings in the third quarter this year amounted to 369,136 kilograms, down by 14.6 per cent
over the comparative period last year, reports the National Statistics Office. This was due to a drop in various species, mainly Shrimp (-43.0 per cent) and Dorado (-36.6 per cent).
Swordfish, the main species landed during the quarter under review, registered an increase of 6.3 per cent over the comparative period last year. Furthermore, the wholesale value of fresh fish landings declined by 3.6 per cent to €2.1 million.
During the period, Maltese fishermen landed 251,812 kilograms (-4.6 per cent) of fresh fish, making up 68.2 per cent of total landings. This resulted from a drop in landings in respect of Shrimp (-43.6 per cent) and Dorado (-23.6 per cent).
The wholesale value of fish landings by Maltese fishermen, which represented 85.4 per cent of total landings, declined by 3.2 per cent to €1.8 million this year.
In the third quarter, the volume of fish landed at the local fish market by Gozitan fishermen declined by 30.3 per cent. Lower Dorado landings (-52.4 per cent) and 'other species', mainly Mackarel (-23.7 per cent) contributed to this downfall.
As a result, the wholesale value for fish landings by Gozitan fishermen during the third quarter amounted to €303,938, a drop of 6.1 per cent over the comparative period last year.

Trunk (botany)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The base of a Yellow Birch trunk
The trunk is the main stem of the tree. In terms of botany it means the main structural member of a tree that is directly connected to the roots and which supports the branches. The trunk is also often called the bole. The trunk is covered by the bark, which protects the tree against damage and often differs markedly from the bottom of the trunk to the top, depending on the species. The trunk, or bole, is the most important part of the tree for timber production. The tree trunk can be separated into five different layers: the heartwood, the sapwood, the vascular cambium, the inner bark, and the outer bark.

How Do Elves Breath?
Generally glittering dust that emanates from mystical creatures is a sign of enchanted magics at work. The most famous is of course Fairy Dust. Something Fairies produce when flying, or utilizing their powers. Elves hard at work, or utilizing magics may produce Elf Dust from their hands. Walking can cause the dust to sparkle from their feet leaving a clear trail behind them. These are in essence enchanted waste products caused by metaphysical energies being exerted in our physical world as metaphysical matter. If this was a perfect paranormal planet made of enchanted energies then dandy dusts of the supernatural sort wouldn't exist!
Most often Elf Dust is a by-product of their respiration process. When exhaled it's invisible most of time. However it accumulates in the surrounding environment. At North Pole City much of the glitter in the snow is actually Elf Dust. The majority of Elves, including Santa Claus's Enchanted Elves, only breath the Helium in our atmosphere. This partly explains their comical low pitched voices. Helium composes a mere 0.000524% of our air as opposed to the Oxygen we breath which makes up 20.946%. Elfin cells paranormally process the Helium, and manufacture an Argon-Neon compound of Ar²Ne³ that is exhaled from their lungs. Scientifically such a compound could never exist but this is the world of the supernatural we're talking about here. That being said the second this rare gas hits the air it immediately breaks down to Argon, and Neon. These gases, famous for causing the glow of Neon lamps, emit a brief glow from the Elves nose, and mouth if viewed in complete darkness. In addition the exhaled Elf Dust will visibly shimmer in that moment as well.
Elf Dust, like Fairy Dust, is a prime ingredient in several magical spells. Elf Dust is used in powerful spells due to it being harder to come by
than the Fairy variety. Elf Dust on it's own can be manipulated to provide temporary powers. In some cases breathing it in, or eating it directly can cause supernatural side effects. Simply carrying it around is thought to bring good luck. Tossing it at an entity of evil often causes some measure of repellent properties. Elf Dust can come in a variety of colors that can produce a plethora of paranormal properties. Santa's Elves produce a multi-colored dust with emphasis on the red, gold, and green glitter. Genuine Elf or Fairy dust always emits it's own luminosity. However the metaphysical energy powering it dissipates over the centuries, and most varieties will dull after 1000 years. If you should come across Elf Dust then use it sparingly because you may never find any again!

The fruit looks somewhat like a small grapefruit with an uneven skin, and can be either yellow or green depending on the degree of ripeness. Yuzu fruits, which are very aromatic, typically range between 5.5 cm (2.16 in) and 7.5 cm (2.95 in) in diameter, but can be as large as a regular grapefruit (up to 10 cm (3.93 in) or larger).
Yuzu forms an upright shrub or small tree, which commonly has many large thorns. Leaves are notable for a large, leaf-like petiole, resembling those of the related kaffir lime and Ichang papeda, and are heavily scented.
Yuzu closely resembles sudachi (a Japanese citrus from Tokushima Prefecture, a yuzu–mandarin orange cross) in many regards, though unlike the sudachi, yuzu eventually ripen to an orange colour and there are subtle differences between the flavours of the fruit. The yuzu originated and grows wild in central China and Tibet. It was introduced to Japan and Korea during the Tang dynasty, and is still cultivated there. It grows slowly, generally requiring 10 years to fruit. It is unusual among citrus plants in being relatively frost-hardy, due to its cold-hardy C. ichangensis ancestry, and can be grown in regions with winters as low as −9 °C (15 °F) where more sensitive citrus would not thrive.

Actionable Data for Profitable Results
Soil fertility management is an effective tool for decision makers to enhance their operations.
With the number of technological changes that have evolved over the past several years, data management has become an effective tool that ag retailers and independent growers can use to enhance their farming operations. Unfortunately for most decision makers, data management is underutilized. Effectively managing data can be one of the most cost-effective ways to push yield potential while reducing input costs. Variable Rate Seeding is quickly becoming an effective tool, as growers search for higher yields and reduced input costs. Layering yield results with additional collected field data creates a valuable report that can be used for improved decision making.

Proposed features/Particular crossings
|Status:||Draft (under way)|
|Definition:||An overall parameter on separately drawn cycletracks describing the average layout at crossings of particular accessways|
|Rendered as:||repeated dots on the cycletrack signature, because of concurrent features preferably as an optional overlay (user-defined rendering)|
Many roadside cycltracks are crossed by several particular accessways of houses and other private grounds. If a cycletracks is lead in sidewalk level, which is standard in some countries, such accessways may cause uncomfortable depths and waves of the cycletrack. If the cycletrack has been built after the houses, the layot of these connections often is almost unique. This fact suggests describe the average layout of these crossings for longer sectons of the cycletrack by an overall parameter.
Most of these particular crossings are entries and exits as well. In English like in many if not most other languages, a neutral common term for entry and exit is missing. "Particular crossings" is quite a long name for a tag. The essential parts of both words of this term can be contracted to particcross. Both "c"s should be kept in order to avoid a "party-cross" reading.
The values may be:
- traverse_link:many=low_traverse, if the cycletrack in its whole width is led down almost to the level of the carriageway.
- particcross=intermediate, something between low traverse and traverse slope.
- particcross=traverse_slope, if the cycletrack is on sidewalk level beside the sidewalk and on road level beside the carriageway.
- particcross=lateral_slope, if only the distance space between cycletrack and carriageway is sloped down.
- particcross=sloped_kerb, if the kerb has its full hight but a decline of 45° or less insted of a steep step.
- particcross=sine_kerb, if the kerb has a profile like a section of a sine-curve with a width of about half a meter.
Other values may describe the paving, either forming combined tags, or rather doubling the tag:
Or thy may edges caused by borders of pavement:
It can be visualized by repeated dots on the cycletrack signature. With a thorough description of cycling facilities, there is a possible interference of the rendering of several features. It can be mastered by a user-defined rendering with optional overlays.
The information ought to be used as an element of a comfort score.

Abstract Share this page
Abstract At present, the significance of calcium accumulation in the aetiology of coronary artery disease (CAD) in humans is not known, except only to exacerbate the condition. In an attempt to understand ionic disturbances in vasculature derived from cardiovascular abnormalities, soft tissues from hypertensive models were examined. The study hypothesis was to see if basic cardiovascular regulatory sites in hypertensive models accumulated greater amounts of Ca2+. Calcium levels were measured by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry in tissue derived from two types of hypertensive rabbits. Both models of hypertension developed mean arterial pressures of at least 50 mm Hg greater than those of controls over a 5-wk period. Significant increases in calcium levels were found in left ventricle and aorta derived from both hypertensive groups compared with controls. Renal cortex and medulla were not significantly different among any of the groups. These levels corroborate the findings of others which show increased calcium levels in cardiovascular tissues in experimental hypertension in rabbits. Although there have been several studies that have shown the relationship between calcium, hypertension and CAD, this is the first study to look at calcium accumulation rather that the effects of calcium channel blockers. The link between hypertension and calcium accumulation in a number of tissues may be important in the development of CAD and other cardiac dysfunction.

Avon Valley Woodlands nature reserve
The Avon Valley Woodlands local nature reserve is situated within the beautiful setting of the River Avon near Hanham. The maturing broadleaved woodlands are home to a wide variety of wildlife and are an ideal location for people of all abilities to enjoy getting closer to nature.
The series of woodlands owned by the council include Conham River Park, Hencliff Wood and Bickley Wood and help make up the 31.5 hectare reserve. The woodlands are accessible through a network of paths including the River Avon trail.
Access for all
Improvements have been made to the Conham River Park to allow easier access to the River Avon. A 750 metre stone surface path – with oak seats along its way, has been created to allow people to walk, cycle or ride along the historic towpath between the car park and the ferry crossing at Beeses tea gardens. This towpath and the River Avon and Kennet and Avon Canal make an important link between the River Severn, Bristol and Bath. A popular long distance footpath called River Avon trail follows this important trade link.
Picnic benches have been installed and accessible parking bays and toilets are available in the car park, which is situated at the bottom of Conham Hill, near Hanham.
A rich heritage
As you walk through the woodlands you will quickly discover some clues to the site's past. Much of the area was quarried, with twelve small quarries operating between Conham River Park and Hanham Mills. The nearby Hanham Colliery mined coal from the Bristol coalfields and like the pennant sandstone was brought down to the riverside and transported by horse-drawn barges to Bristol and Bath.
There are a number of derelict buildings within the site, including a powder house at the bottom of Hencliff Wood, which housed the dynamite for the quarries and nearby railway. The thick walls of the old smelter works near Conham River Park are still standing, along with the boundary wall of Conham Hall. The hall itself was demolished in 1971 and made way for a sewage works and later a refuse tip. The site has now been landscaped and its small thickets provide a good habitat for small birds and mammals.
Become a friend
The woodlands are cared for by local people who have recently set up a friends group to assist us in managing the reserve. The group organises a range of events and practical workdays to help raise awareness of the nature reserve and to enhance its biodiversity.
Join in the fun
A programme of events and activities when organised on this local nature reserve is listed on the 1BigDatabase and BBC Things to Do website. The area is also visited on a number of Walking to Health walks, which has produced a heritage walks leaflet.
A bat audio trail guide relating to Conham River Park, its history and the bats you'll likely find there is available from local libraries. The guide is one of four specially created to assist people, including those who are visually impaired, to visit the site at dusk and discover the magic of bat detecting. Whilst you're there look out for
- the red pennant sandstone quarries of Bickley Woods
- the flash of blue of a kingfisher darting up the River Avon
- the berries of the 'wild service' trees in Hencliff Wood, once commonly known as 'Chequers'
- the monkey puzzle tree that marked the entrance to Conham Hall, near Conham River Park
- the ruins of the old smelter works below the 100 steps, halfway up near Conham Hill
- the triangular-shaped coping stones on the walls on Ferry Lane
On foot: There are a number of public rights of way that link up to the reserve.
By bicycle: The reserve is accessible by bicycle from Bristol by using the River Avon trail.
Bus: Bus services are available along Memorial Road, where there are a number of footpaths leading to the woodlands.
Car: Car parks are available at Castle Farm Road for walks around Bickley Wood and Hencliff Wood. For walks around Conham and the panorama walk please use the car park at Conham River Park. Both sites are signposted along the Memorial Road.

From one side of the Channel to the other, the film Napoleon by Anglo-American director Ridley Scott was differently appreciated. While he was in the United Kingdom to promote his feature film, with Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby in the starring roles, the director of Gladiator, Alien and Blade Runner was questioned about the more cautious reception reserved for it by the French press, while the film will be in cinemas in France from this Wednesday, November 22.
Indeed, the film aroused the enthusiasm of the English press: the Guardian, which awarded it 5 stars, saw it as an "outrageously spectacular cavalry charge" and the Times praised a "masterful historical film", as "entertaining as it is realistic ".

But as the BBC also notes, the French press was more mixed. Many historical errors or liberties have been denounced, for example in Le Point by the historian Patrice Gueniffey, who denounces an anti-French and pro-British interpretation of the history of the famous emperor defeated at Trafalgar by the Royal Navy. It also did not escape the BBC that Le Figaro, for its part, mentioned a film featuring "Barbie and Ken under the Empire"...
These criticisms were not to the taste of Ridley Scott, who quipped in response to these remarks: "the French don't even like themselves!", adding however that the preview of the film in Paris , according to him, aroused the enthusiasm of the audience: "During the screening in Paris, the public loved it," he consoled himself.
At the BBC, Ridley Scott answered even more unpleasant questions. Is he disappointed that he didn't win the Best Director Oscar? "I don't care," he told journalists. And what should we make of the repeated criticisms of his film's infidelities to historical reality? "You really want me to answer? You better not, I'll be rude!"

Sir Richard Grenville (1542 – 1591) was an English sailor, sea captain and explorer. He took part in the early English attempts to settle the New World. He was in the fight against the Spanish Armada. He died in 1591 at the Battle of Flores, fighting against overwhelming odds, and refusing to surrender his ship, the Revenge, to the far more numerous Spanish.
Sir Richard Grenville was a British naval commander. He was born of an old Cornish family in about 1541. His grandfather, Sir Richard, was a marshal of Calais during the time of Henry VIII. Richard Grenville's father commanded and lost his life in the "Mary Rose" in 1545. At an early age Richard Grenville served in Hungary under the emperor Maximilian against the Turks.

There is a higher concentration, about 80% sugar at the bottom while there is nearly pure water near the top the index of refraction for 80% sugar solution is known to be about 15, while water is 133 the index of refraction (n) is a number with no units. There is no general relationship between the conductivity / concentration curves for inorganic salts of different kinds the addition of mineral acids, and even organic acids, like acetic acid, also raises the conductivity of water, as does the addition of finely divided solids. In this science fair project, you will learn how to measure the concentration of sugar dissolved in a liquid by using a laser pointer, a hollow prism, and some physics measuring sugar content of a liquid with a laser pointer if dissolving sugar in water creates a solution with a higher density than water alone, can you tell which. Lab 2 spectrophotometric measurement of glucose objectives 1 learn how to use a spectrophotometer see that there is a linear relationship between concentration and absorbance thus a standard first you will make several dilutions of a glucose standard solution that has an initial concentration of 500 mg/dl of glucose see fig 2-3. Department of physical sciences cameron university •understand the relationship between sugar concentration and density •construct a simple hydrometer •calibrate a device and use it to make measurements •use excel to evaluate linear calibration data the density of the solution increases.
Learn the vocabulary concentration is a ratio comparing the amount of one substance to the amount of the entire mixture for instance, if you plan to mix sugar and vinegar together for an experiment, you'll need to calculate the concentration of sugar in the mixture. Relationship between the density of a solution and the concentration of solute a calibration curve can be used to determine the concentration of solute in an unknown solution whose density has been measured. Most common application is measuring the concentration of sugar dissolved in water, such as in fruit juices examples of smaller, hand-held refractometers: dissolved sugar changes the refractive index of water substantially since sugar is the primary ingredient in relationship between salt solution and sugar concentration (brix) and.
In this experiment you are going to measure the refractive index to determine the concentration of sugar or brix, correct for temperature and compare it to the results of a density measurement and a viscosity measurement. It's not hard to measure the density of your salt solution you can compare the drainage time of it to that of water the ratio of the drain times, corrected for the different densities, will give you the viscosity ratio. Chm 144 lab practical 1 study play experiment 1 estimating finding the relationship between two experimental variables by graphical methods to determine the value of an unknown -allows us to estimate the values at certain points on a curve/line, etc -using the calibration curve of standard sugar solutions, interpolate the % sugar.
The dependence of refractive index on the concentration and temperature in six kinds of aqueous solutions was investigated the six solutions were three electrolyte solutions (nacl, kcl, and cacl 2), a polar solution (glucose solution), a nonpolar solution (ethyl acetate solution), and a protein solution (bovine serum albumin solution)it was found that dn/dc decreased with temperature and dn. Determining the concentration of a limewater solution essay - determining the concentration of a limewater solution introduction previous to conducting my experiment, research was carried out and the results of it adapted to aid me in solving the problem set. Density and refractometry brix - sugar determination by density and refractometry introduction there is a direct relationship between density and brix the measured density can be converted directly coefficient is concentration dependent if measuring brix or hfcs concentration. Density solution concentration calibration curves background the purpose of this experiment is to determine the percent sugar content in beverages the density of five sugar "reference" solutions will be measured in part a the reference beverage density lab. Relationship between mass and volume of the substance if the density of a particular substance is given in grams per milliliter, it indicates the number of grams present in 1 milliliter of that substance.
Study of concentration dependence of refractive index of sugar and salt the method we used in the experiment to measure the refractive index of sugar solution and lowered concentration, by 3 in sugar solution and by 2 in salt solution, again measured. Repeat steps 4-7 for 10 ml of sugar with water added to make 50 ml solution (about 40 ml) and again using 15 ml of sugar and water to make 50 ml (about 35 ml of water) make a graph showing the density of solution versus the amount of sugar. There wasn't a linear relationship between the amount of sugar dissolved and the refractive index as i thought there would be, and instead the laser's angle through the water moved back and forth with more and more sugar dissolved. Density of sugar factory products you can do online calculations of sugar solution density by entering the data required below select the parameter to be used as the graph's x-axis by clicking the appropriate radio button sugar solution temperature [°c] brix [%] purity [%.
To determine density of "standard" sugar solutions: 1place a 100 ml beaker on a balance and tare the balance 2measure exactly 1000 ml of the 0% sugar solution in a graduated cylinder. If a beverage has a higher concentration of sugar, it will have a great density than that beverage of a lower concentration of sugar (0% sugar solution) the density of water is usually quoted as 10 g/ml, but the precise value is for 4oc comment on why your measured density might be higher or lower than 100 g/ml this lab looks at. This experiment was carried out to explore the relationship between the absorbance and concentration concentration of standard cuso 4 solution (m) volume of 050 m cuso 4 stock solution (ml) volume of di experimenter in charge of measuring the cuso 4 solution read the pipettes incorrectly and that this was.
Fructose = sigma f0127, mw 180 glucose = sigma g8270, mw 180 sucrose = jt baker 4097-06, mw 342 note that sucrose is a disaccharide with almost 2x the mw of fructose and glucose thus 1 m fructose = 180 g/l, while 1 m sucrose = 342 g/l. Yes it's a standard way of measuring concentration of sugar/salt in water, especially in beer and wine making i think you normally work against calibration curves of given concentrations, it's probably possible in theory to calculate what the refractive index is for a given concentration from first principles but i don't know of an eqution. - finding the relationship between turgidity of potato cells and the concentration of the surrounding medium planning aim: to find the relationship between turgidity of potato cells and the concentration of the surrounding medium 60ml of standard sugar solution (one molar) wash bottles collect all the apparatus that is needed for.

If your sewer lines are installed sometime between the 1940s to 1970s, chances are they are made from Orangeburg. While this material has a life expectancy of 50 years, it can fail sooner than expected. Fortunately, Snowbridge Inc. offers trenchless pipe repair in Breckenridge, CO, to restore your damaged Orangeburg pipes. Read on to find out how this solution works.
The Problem With Orangeburg Pipes
Also called "no-corrode" pipes, Orangeburg pipes are composed of asphalt-soaked paper and wood pulp. This mixture makes them light and fragile, which is why it's no surprise that they are vulnerable to environmental stresses. For one, they can deform due to moisture and pressure, leading to plumbing issues. They also start to fail within 10 years.
How Trenchless Solutions Will Benefit Orangeburg Pipes
Trenchless pipe lining can rectify the damage caused by wear and tear, invasive tree roots, shifting soil, and other issues, restoring your pipes to like-new condition. It involves pushing an epoxy-coated liner into the pipeline, then cures and hardens to form a new durable pipe. As a result, your Orangeburg pipes can serve you for over five decades.
Trenchless sewer repair can do the following for your damaged Orangeburg pipes:
- Seal joint connections
- Cover holes and cracks
- Address missing pipes
- Even out offsets
Unlike the conventional dig-and-replace techniques, trenchless sewer replacement doesn't require digging up your entire yard. The entire process takes place underground, making it efficient and non-intrusive. This also means you don't have to worry about restoring your damaged landscaping once the project is done. In turn, you save time, money, and headache.
Turn to the Trenchless Experts Today
Have Orangeburg pipes that need fixing? Reach out to the pros at Snowbridge Inc. today for cost-effective trenchless pipe replacement and repair. We will first assess the condition of your pipes and recommend the best course of action for your needs. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.

 What you're saying is the same reason in T14 mastery/haste was a problem for arms. Based on how you reforged changed the value of each stat, reforged all to haste and it gained value. Reforged all to mastery and it was better. Same holds true for comparison of secondary stats now.
 Unless you're sim'ing your character as-is to produce stat weights, optimizing the gearset, then iteratively repeating that process until the difference in dps number produced by the sim compared to to the last trial lacks statistical power, then there is no possible tool on earth that will ever make you happy. And nothing is stopping anyone from doing that themselves right now anyway. AMR is not substantively different in kind than anyone not iteratively zero'ing in on stat weights.
 And even then, if you are questioning the methodology of the simulation to begin with, then this entire process is a garbage-in / garbage-out enterprise and there is no factual way to demonstrate who is right about anything whatsoever. Unless you can make a valid case for "accuracy" versus "precision" in dps differences between result, this is all really just a bunch of handwaving.
 It's probably actually probably true that all of this in the end has a certain degree of handwaving about it, because the vast differences in mechanics from fight to fight in practice do make the minutiae of the whole beef you have with AMR like arguing about angels dancing on the head of a pin.

 Not taking sides here.....I can sim my charater 5 times 50k iterations and it gives me +/- up to 700 dps swings. The comparison Askmrrob gave against Dark didn't tell the whole tale. That being said, I make sure to sim my own character after using AMR to get the quick reforge (sims take so long). I do this to verify the results. I have never had it tell me to change the reforges after using custom stats obtained from simcraft.
 It won't matter soon. Landsoul finally cracked an algorithim that had him stumped on his spreadsheet (LS spreadsheet fanboy.) These tools will be obsolete soon with any luck.

 Hi there Zoopercat. First I would like to say that AMR is a great tool and you guys do an awesome job of updating it and keeping up with current theorycraft. I'm not sure why DF hates you guys so much. I understand wanting to be exact and all but I personally don't have the time or the desire to run multiple programs that may or may not improve my dps by ~1%. If I were getting paid to play I would, but, sadly, I am not. I'll look at it in a positive light and say that maybe DF is helping to keep AMR on their toes and making AMR an even better tool for warriors. So, on to my question.
 I am having an issue with the BIS tool, sometimes it gives me this weird setup, i hope this link works. [mmo champ wouldn't let me post the link ]
 Basically it has me (a SMF Warrior) with a 2H sword. Any idea whats going on there?
 Thanks for your time

 I dont know who is right or wrong. Just need someone to tell me whether to use Brutal Talisman or the Twins trinket on my current setup..

 AMR tells me it is Brutal Talisman but when I swop, reforge and SIM.. it seems that it is twins

 How about if both are upgraded to 530? Which is better. I used Brutal for this week.. uptime is about 20-23%. Gaze uptime is nearer to 40%. I haven't upgraded either.. still deciding between the two. Approaching valor cap so next week have to chose either to upgrade..

 You know I'm kinda impressed that zooper gets on here to help.
 I like seeing that.
 I think it's a really good sign when people who work for a product can say, "yea you are rite" and even defend their stuff.

 Lol, reading Darkfriend's garbage is always entertaining.
 Can you at least go join a guild like Blood Legion or similiar so I have a reason to bash you about how you take the game too seriously and should get a life?
 The irony of saying something like, "if you want to be the best and not mediocre" while being in some garbage guild just ruins it when you are trying to talk all high and mighty =\
 Diamond in the rough warrior right here people! Hire him asap like he says AMR, he's the one that is at the forefront of warrior theorycrafting and is always discovering new and exciting things about warrior stats.

 I always find it interesting how bads can't argue with the logic, so instead they resort to name calling.

Guest Blog - Electricity used when pulling weight
We don't typically post items related to science fairs (I get a lot of them - they're always enjoyable but most aren't related to NXT but just use an NXT robot to facilitate something else), but I thought this was an interesting project worth sharing, especially because it's using an NXT to obtain the results - I've posted Keizo's results in the accompanying image.
BTW - Keizo is in 4th grade.
Thanks for sending this in Keizo! - Jim
How Much Electricity Is Used When A Robot Pulls A Certain Weight
By Keizo M.
Hypothesis: I think that the robot will use twice as much electricity when the weight of the car is doubled.
Why I Chose This Project: Last year I got a LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 for my birthday. I really enjoyed it, but while using it, I noticed that the batteries run out quickly. I decided to measure how much electricity would be used when a robot pulls a weight.
Materials: -Lego Mindstorms ® NXT 2.0 -Digital Voltmeter -6 Rechargeable Batteries -Weights
1) Make a robotic car out of Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0
2) Program the car to go forward and backward for 10 minutes
3) Charge the batteries
4) Measure volts in batteries
5) Put batteries in the car
6) Put weight on the car
7) Run the program
8) After 10 minutes stop the car
9) Take out batteries, and collect data
10) Repeat step 3 through 7 with different weights
Conclusion: When weight was increased, more electricity was used but it didn't double. For example, when I doubled the weight from 1 pound to 2 pounds there was only a 0.066-volt difference.
Discussion: There wasn't a huge difference when I increased the weight. Next time, I should make the robot go for 30 minutes instead of 10 minutes or put a heavier weight

Objective: This study examined the association of proximal femur shape with ipsilateral medial and lateral compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA). Design: Radiographs were obtained from the NIH-funded Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI). Cases of isolated radiographic lateral compartment knee OA were defined on baseline radiographs as Kellgren/Lawrence (K/L) Grade≥2 and joint space narrowing (JSN)>0 in the lateral compartment and JSN=0 in the medial compartment; isolated medial compartment knee OA had K/L≥2 and JSN>0 medially with JSN=0 inthe lateral compartment. Controls had K/L<2 and JSN=0 in both compartments. Controls were frequency matched to cases by sex and 10-year age intervals. We characterized the shape of the proximal femurs on radiographs using Active Shape Modeling (ASM) and determined the association of proximal femur shape with knee OA using logistic regression. Results: There were 168 lateral compartment knee OA cases (mean body mass index (BMI) 29.72±5.26), 169 medial compartment knee OA cases (mean BMI 29.68±4.83) and 168 controls (mean BMI 26.87±4.2). Thirteen modes were derived for femur shape which described 95.5% of the total variance in proximal femur shape in the population. Modes 6, 8 and 12 were associated with prevalent lateral compartment knee OA. Medial compartment knee OA was associated with proximal femur modes 1, 5, 8, and 12. Conclusions: Prevalent lateral and medial compartment knee OA are associated with different ipsilateral proximal femur shapes. Additional studies are needed to better define how the shape of the proximal femur influences compartment-specific knee OA.

Making Sounds and Music
Espruino isn't fast enough to play MP3 or WAV music files, but it can output beeps of different frequencies using its pulse width moduled outputs. In this tutorial we'll show you how to make sound using a speaker from an old PC.
You'll Need
Wiring Up
Connect the two wires of the speaker to the Espruino board - one wire to ground, and the other wire to a Signal Pin that is capable of PWM (you can get a list of pins that are capable by typing analogWrite()).
Note: This is probably really bad for your Espruino board. Ideally you'd add a transistor to amplify the signal - or at the very least you'd put a resistor in series to limit the current. Given the boards don't cost that much, we decided that it was worth taking a chance though.
First off, let's define the pin that our buzzer is on. On the F3 board I've used pin A9:
var BUZZER=A9;
Now, we can try using the PWM output to see what happens:
analogWrite(BUZZER, 0.5);
This should create a beep, but to control the frequency you need to supply an extra argument:
analogWrite(BUZZER, 0.5, { freq: 1000 } );
This will create a 1kHz beep. You can stop the beeping by setting the output to 0:
Next, we'll create a function that plays whatever frequency we give it. If we give it 0, it will stop the buzzing.
function freq(f) {
 if (f===0) digitalWrite(BUZZER,0);
 else analogWrite(BUZZER, 0.5, { freq: f } );
We can test it:
But now, we want to play some music! We'll need the following 2 websites:
The second website uses the letters a-g for lower pitch notes, and A-G for higher-pitch notes. We'll make a function which goes through a string of characters, one at a time, and plays the corresponding pitch note:
var pitches = {
function step() {
 var ch = tune[pos];
 if (ch!== undefined) pos++;
 if (ch in pitches) freq(pitches[ch]);
 else freq(0); // off
Now we just have to define the tune, and pos - which is the position in the tune:
var tune = "c c c d e e d e f g C C C g g g e e e c c c g f e d c";
var pos = 0;
And we can start playing the music:
setInterval(step, 100);
To restart the song, just type:
You can load another song:
var tune = "g e g g e g A A g f e d e f";
And if you want to restart the song when the button is pressed, just type:
setWatch("pos=0", BTN, true);

South African Children's Hospital Closed Under Apartheid To Reopen
Originally published on Tue September 25, 2012 9:08 am
A large children's hospital in Durban, South Africa, is being rebuilt two decades after it closed owing to apartheid. It opened in 1931 as a facility for all races, but racial tensions in the 1980s forced its closure.
Now with Durban and the surrounding province of KwaZulu-Natal extremely hard hit by AIDS and tuberculosis, local leaders are hopeful they can begin reopening the hospital early in 2013.
If the rehabilitation project is successful, it could restore one woman's dream from almost a century ago of having a multiracial hospital in Durban by the sea.
While child mortality rates almost everywhere else in the world have been falling, this part of South Africa has seen the rate rise. At some maternity clinics in the region, 50 percent of pregnant women are testing positive for HIV.
"HIV contributes to almost 50 to 60 percent of deaths in children under the age of 5 [in South Africa]," Mohern Archary, a pediatrician at the King Edward VIII Hospital in Durban, says.
This is why Arthi Ramkissoon, a public health director at the University of the Witwatersrand, is pushing to restore the boarded-up Children's Hospital in Durban.
"Children are a neglected part of the health system," she says, and a hospital dedicated exclusively to the needs of kids could help reduce the province's rising infant mortality.
The Durban Children's Hospital was the first facility in all of Africa dedicated exclusively to kids. It was built in 1928 by then-Durban Mayor Mary Siedle, who wanted to take a child of color for medical treatment but could not find a place.
The hospital had a mandate to serve kids of all races, but it sat on a prime, beachfront lot in a white neighborhood. Amid rising tension about the hospital attracting nonwhites into a white neighborhood, the apartheid regime shut it down in the 1980s.
Now the hospital's seven buildings have fallen into deep disrepair. Windows are shattered. Roofs have collapsed, and pigeons have taken up residence in the gutters.
Ramkissoon, who works with KwaZulu-Natal Children's Hospital Trust, is still trying to raise money to restore six of the seven buildings on the 3 1/2-acre site. The first building to be rebuilt is expected to open early in 2013. It will house a center for HIV-positive teenagers.
The focus of the new children's hospital, she says, will be broader than just HIV. There will be general pediatric medicine, psychological services and inpatient wards.
Ramkissoon hopes to take full advantage of the facility's prime location next to the Indian Ocean. "My vision is for children to have physical therapy on the beach," she says. "I'd like the wheelchairs and beds to be wheeled out there. I'm going to try to have a ramp or something out to the sand."
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Let's go next to South Africa, to the city of Durban, where efforts are underway to rebuild a historic children's hospital that was shut down in the later days of white minority rule in South Africa. This hospital originally opened in 1931 with a mandate to serve children of all races, but it was hard to keep it open during apartheid times because of its location. It was sitting on a prime beachfront lot in a white neighborhood. Now, with local hospitals strained by the AIDS epidemic, city leaders are trying to reopen the children's facility. NPR's Jason Beaubien reports.
JASON BEAUBIEN, BYLINE: The Durban Children's Hospital was designed in the 1920s with stately porches and huge windows facing the Indian Ocean. But now the porches are crumbling, the glass is shattered, and red clay tiles of the roof have slipped out of place or fallen away completely.
ARTHI RAMKISSOON: And down here you can see original stained glass from the 1920s, which was put in at child height.
BEAUBIEN: Arthi Ramkissoon with the KwaZulu Natal Children's Hospital Trust is one of the people pushing to restore this institution to its former glory.
RAMKISSOON: There's one more here which is a bit damaged. We'll have to fix that.
BEAUBIEN: This project is more than just the restoration of a cool old building. It's a project entwined with apartheid, the historical inequities of South Africa, and AIDS.
RAMKISSOON: This was formerly known as the Addington Children's Hospital, built in 1928 by a woman who wanted to take a child of color for medical treatment and could not find a place.
BEAUBIEN: That woman was Mary Siedle, a white philanthropist from a prominent mercantile family. In the 1980s, amidst rising tension over the hospital attracting non-whites in to a white neighborhood, the apartheid regime shut down the Durban Children's Hospital. If the rehabilitation project is successful, it could restore one woman's dream from almost a century ago of having a multi-racial hospital in Durban by the sea.
Now, as South Africa grapples with AIDS instead of apartheid, this province has the highest rate of HIV in the country. At some maternity clinics in KwaZulu Natal, nearly half the women are HIV positive. AIDS has put significant new strains on the public health care system in South Africa and Ramkissoon says the medical needs of young people have often been pushed to the back burner.
RAMKISSOON: We have a population who almost half of which are under 24 years of age. We also have an increasing under five mortality. So together with the burden of HIV, children are a neglected part of the health system.
BEAUBIEN: On the other side of town, Dr. Mohern Archary a pediatric infectious disease specialist at the King Edward the Eighth Hospital, says HIV is also affecting kids directly.
DR. MOHERN ARCHARY: HIV contributes to almost 50 to 60 percent of deaths in children under the age of five.
BEAUBIEN: That's across all of South Africa, and he says the problem is even worse here in KwaZulu Natal. The new provincially-run hospital won't focus exclusively on HIV, but also offer general medicine as well as psychological and social services for children. That's the goal, anyway. Arthi Ramkissoon is still trying to raise money to restore the other six buildings on the three-and-a-half-acre site.
(SOUNDBITE OF CONSTRUCTION WORK)
BEAUBIEN: Amidst the bustle of construction workers working in one corner of the compound, Ramkissoon says she can already picture the finished ocean front hospital.
RAMKISSOON: We are going to have rehabilitation here as well as everything else, and my vision is for children to have their physiotherapy and other therapy on the beach. I would like the wheelchairs and the beds to be wheeled out there, so I'm going to try and have some sort of ramp or other access to the sand.
BEAUBIEN: The first building on the complex is scheduled to re-open early next year. It will house a center for HIV positive teenagers who've been on AIDS treatment since birth. Jason Beaubien, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.


- Adult Using Toy Track Car Into Pool Adulthood Eradicator Set
Adulthood Eradicator
$ 119.99
Adulthood was meant as a time in our lives when we're supposed to do the things we were told not to do as a children. Go run at the pool, yell in the house, talk to strangers, eat candy before bed, and cross the street without looking both ways. If people were supposed to follow those rules forever then why would we have emergency rooms, noise ordinances, missing persons departments, type two diabetes, and biodegradable coffins? Stop acting like a child and break some rules. How can you expect to be an adult without repressing the fun of another human's childhood while you drink your "grown up juice" and yell at park benches. Get your shit together and life your life the way God intended, by spending the later half of your life rebelling against how your parents governed you you as a child. Start by buying this plastic slide and using it in every way it wasn't meant to be.

- 2 cups shredded cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Oaxaca cheese work well)
- 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken, beef, or sliced ham
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (optional)
- 1/2 cup sliced onions (optional)
- 1-2 jalapeno peppers, sliced (optional, for some heat)
- Salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for serving (optional)
1. Prep the Fillings:
- If you're using chicken, beef, or any other filling, make sure it's cooked and shredded. Season the filling with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Slice the bell peppers, onions, and jalapeno peppers if using. You can sauté them briefly for extra flavor if desired.
2. Assemble the Sincronizadas:
- Lay out two flour tortillas on a clean surface.
- Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese evenly over both tortillas.
- If you're adding any fillings or vegetables, distribute them on one of the tortillas over the cheese layer.
- Top the fillings with another layer of shredded cheese.
- Carefully place the second tortilla on top to create a sandwich-like structure.
3. Cook the Sincronizadas:
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Brush one side of the sincronizada with a little vegetable oil or melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Carefully transfer the sincronizada to the skillet with the oiled side down.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom tortilla becomes golden and crispy.
4. Flip and Cook the Other Side:
- Before flipping, brush the top side of the sincronizada with a little oil or butter.
- Use a wide spatula to flip the sincronizada to the other side.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the second side is also golden and the cheese is melted.
5. Repeat for the Second Sincronizada:
- Follow the same steps to make the second sincronizada with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
6. Slice and Serve:
- Remove the sincronizadas from the skillet and let them cool for a moment.
- Cut each sincronizada into quarters or wedges.
- Serve hot with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or any other preferred dipping sauce.
Enjoy your homemade sincronizadas as a delightful snack, lunch, or dinner. They are perfect for sharing with friends and family. Customize the fillings to your liking, and feel free to get creative with different combinations of meats, vegetables, or even add some beans for extra texture and flavor. Buen provecho.
Quesadillas themselves have a long history in Mexican cuisine, dating back to the time of the Aztecs. The Aztecs made flat corn cakes filled with various ingredients, including squash, pumpkin seeds, and beans. After the Spanish conquest of Mexico in the 16th century, new ingredients such as cheese and different meats were introduced, further influencing the evolution of quesadillas.
Over time, quesadillas gained popularity throughout Mexico and underwent regional variations. In some regions, especially in the northern part of the country, quesadillas were traditionally made with flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas, and the fillings expanded to include a variety of ingredients such as ham, mushrooms, and different types of cheese.
The sincronizada is believed to have emerged as a spin-off of the quesadilla in the 20th century. It is said to have originated in Mexico City, where cooks and street food vendors started making these "synchronized" quesadillas using flour tortillas and filling them with cheese and various other ingredients. The name "sincronizada" is said to have been given to highlight the symmetrical and layered structure of the dish, as two tortillas were used to sandwich the fillings.
Today, sincronizadas can be found throughout Mexico and are also popular in Mexican restaurants worldwide. They have become a beloved street food and a popular snack or meal option. While the basic concept remains the same, sincronizadas continue to be adapted and modified with different fillings to suit individual tastes and regional preferences.
As with many traditional dishes, the exact history of sincronizadas might not be fully traceable, but their evolution and enduring popularity are a testament to their deliciousness and cultural significance in Mexican cuisine.

Array Changing Program. Suggestions or ideas please! Help?
I need a program that allows user to change the array of text by entering a single character like 'c' as the first input. Followed by the total number of text lines to be inputted into the array and then the text lines themselves.
Here is the array of text and beginning of the program
_TAG_
_TAG_
_TAG_
_TAG_
using namespace std;
_TAG_ K 2000
void main(){
char array2[z]={"A gentle, dull flickering flame, burns in the marble hearth.\

Why does no one ever wanna help me. haii...
Read the string into a 2 dimensional array of chars. Then use a pointer to run through the particular rows of characters replacing the characters with the input.
first find the longest line of text characters that will be the width +1 for a terminating null of each line and use the \ character as a marker to jump into the next line of the array when reading the current text in as well as checking for the max size of the longest line. Initialize the array with null characters. So as not to get any strange character appearing from what the allocated memory once had.
What is the c supposed to represent?
What is the meaning of _TAG_ K 2000? Why is that there?
Also when replacing the characters. is it supposed to replace everything in the line or just the characters it writes over and where is it designated to start?

What is Rounding?
Rounding is an intentional, scheduled activity designed to elicit specific, actionable feedback.
Why Board Rounding?
- The goal of rounding on board members is to capture important feedback for action, including information for reward and recognition and process improvement.
- By regularly conversing with board members about their board role, and transparently taking action, leaders build trust, nurture relationships, and help members feel valued, which increases resilience and engagement.
- There is a high correlation between engagement results and quality outcomes.
What Do I Ask When Rounding?
- Opening question to build rapport– How is your family?
- What is working well for you, in your role as a board member?
- What could be working better? Do you have what you need to do your job?
- Is there anything I can do to help?
- Is there anyone who has been especially helpful to you that I can recognize on your behalf?
How Do I Use the Rounding Protocol?
- Set a rounding schedule that is manageable and reaches all board members. Start with a goal of 3x per season (9 x per year).
- Validate the process with a rounding log or other tool – keep track of the conversations.
- Manage up and reward/recognize individuals. Make a call. Send thank you notes. Make a point of saying something when you see them. What gets recognized tends to get repeated.
- Follow up and close the loop. Be forthright about what can be changed and what is not in your control. Check back to see if the change is addressing the issue or concern. Follow up is essential.
|The best way to damage a relationship is to ask somebody for feedback, hear it, and do nothing with it.|

Wednesday January 8 : Of Authors Authenticity and Authority | a DAI PUBLIC lecture by Dr. Nishant Shah
7:30 - 9:00
Location: DAI auditorium
The Internet as it was imagined has been dying. In the age of Edward Snowden and PRISM, the potentials and promises of all things digital have taken a sinister turn. Especially when it comes to cultural production and participatory movements, there is a deep Balkanisation where more than half the intellectual property rights reside with a handful of global media conglomerates. Remixing, as a part of the Copy+Paste cultures has been seen as a challenge and a subversive movement that challenges the intellectual property regimes that govern the production, distribution and access to digital material. In this talk, Nishant Shah draws from historical processes, personal anecdotes and contemporary battles around intellectual property rights in India to dislocate remix from its centrality within content-based processes. Instead he proposes that new structures of authorship, authority and authenticity need to be built in order to realise the true potentials of remix lie.


File Conversion WEBM to MOV
Why should I convert WEBM to MOV ?
With the conversion of the file to a different file extension you can use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that WEBM file, when converted to MOV may differ slightly from the original, at least in terms of the data system. The most important information should be stored but if you want that this file after conversion from WEBM to MOV was the same, you need to do it carefully and select the proper application from the list below. There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but will certainly help in this. If, despite that, the effect of converting the WEBM file to MOV does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in the WEBM format, properly converted earlier by someone else to MOV file. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the site.

programs that can help you
Other possible WEBM file conversions
If after converting the file WEBM the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of WEBM file to other than MOV. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
What can I also do?
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your WEBM file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to #IS# on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the WEBM file in its original format (without conversion to MOV file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.

The FPGA exhibits unity speed up but proved to be the most efficient in terms of Simplex iterations processed per unit energy with efficiency 5 times greater than the CPU. This is a notable speed improvement and power saving in comparison with current technology for solving dense problems as the GPU code can solve problems with speeds up to 50 times greater than a sparse solver.
