If People Powered Radio: 40 Years of 3CR
Friday 8 April
Friday 8 April, 7am
Community language programming has formed a key part of 3CR's broadcasting since the station began—with many programs operating in support of resistance movements elsewhere. This program will take us on a journey through these programs and ask why community language programming is so important.
If People Powered Radio: 40 Years of 3CR is a collaboration between Fitzroy's oldest community radio station, 3CR and one of Fitzroy's oldest galleries and studio complexes, Gertrude Contemporary. Celebrating 40 years of 3CR, the exhibition will explore the station's history of radical broadcasting and how it has thrived in its endeavour to foreground the often unheard voices of Aboriginal people, women, workers, ethnic and GLBTIQ communities, differently abled people, environmentalists, artists and musicians. The exhibition presents a combination of recordings, technological hardware, and photographic, written and graphic documents from the station's vast historical archive, alongside newly commissioned artworks. Presented alongside the exhibition will be a program of public events, including live outside broadcasts from the exhibition space featuring campaigns, current affairs and local musicians.

Authentication : All applications be it SPA, mobile etc, require local and social authentications, and developers have to spend time re-creating the same set of code almost always. Thus in order to save time on coding the same components, lets make it a re-usable one.
In react native, implementing social authentication is not as easy as it sounds, though descriptive documentation exits but the are time consuming, what if we could do all ( local, google and Facebook authentication) with a single parent wrapper component? Sounds great to me( prevents surpass the same set of errors. )
Animations : Animations are crucial part of all our applications and they derive the user experience, implementing animations in react native is bit complicated and the complex part is ensuring it is 60FPS, and it is important that they ensure continuity in the application.
Lets make the two ( Authentication + Animation ) for once and apply it as many times as wanted.
This talk would require per-requisites:
1. Basic understanding or react / react-native
2. react-native / expo per-installed in the system

TAG Heuer is set to be the one watch to rule them all
On February 20, 1962, astronaut John Glenn became the first American to achieve the first manned US orbital flight. But he wasn't alone. Accompanying him in his journey was a TAG Heuer stopwatch.
So history has been written; on that particular day, TAG Heuer became the first Swiss watchmaker in space.
And now, the watch manufacturer is set to write another history, as TAG Heuer has lend it support to China's plan to explore Mars. Teaming up with China's Mars Exploration Program, TAG Heuer will serve as the official timekeeper, as a way to support the country's plan to land an unmanned rover on the red planet.
To further introduce the historical project, TAG Heuer has released a short video on space exploration. Check it out!

Interest continues to grow in our industry for the flexibility and ease-of-use that comes with history-free direct modeling. Unfortunately there is still much confusion out there about just what direct modeling is and what value it adds to the process of product development. One of the many high value opportunities that come with direct modeling is in "large assembly design and management". Direct modeling technology can offer some unique advantages over traditional history-based modeling that can greatly improve design, interaction and management of large assemblies.
Based on the technology behind direct modeling, large assembly design and management can be fast and easy. As direct modeling does not record the modeling steps used to create the model, memory requirements and file sizes can be considerably smaller than with traditional parametric history-based modeling. With PTC CoCreate Modeling, for example, I have found file sizes to be 60% to 80% smaller than the same model created in most any traditional history-based system. This would indicate that these parts and assemblies will also consume much less memory when loaded.
In a traditional history-based CAD system, an assembly is basically a collection of references and relationships to other individual history trees. These history trees represent individual parts and sub-assemblies The history trees can be large and complex. The assembly references and relationships between these trees can be even more complex. With direct modeling an assembly is simply a collection of solid models that are organized in a hierarchical structure. There is no history tree. There are no hidden references or relationships. What you see is what you get. It's as simple as that.
I've been doing some large assembly testing with several different CAD systems. It has been startling to witness how poor many of the most popular CAD tools perform with large assemblies, even with "dumb solids". The assembly that I am using in this example is made up of 29,455 part and assembly objects. The STEP file of the entire assembly comes out at just over 302mb. The native CoCreate package file of the entire assembly comes in right at 100mb. This is not a large assembly compared to many of the assemblies I have witnessed CoCreate users working with. Most CoCreate users would consider a large assembly to be somewhere around 100,000 to 250,000 parts. (By the way, the native geometry resolution/accuracy of a model developed in CoCreate Modeling is 1.0E-6 mm by default – about 2500 times higher accuracy than any other CAD system on the market, and yet it is still possible to manage these large assemblies.)
Below is a picture of the assembly I have been working with. It comes from a company in Europe. This is a coagulator used in the cheese making process. CoCreate Modeling was used from beginning to end to support the design process.
For the video below I loaded this assembly in its entirety. All parts are loaded as high accuracy solid models. None of the parts were loaded as lightweight, graphics only or in some suppressed mode. Based on the privileges controlled by the PDM system, every part and/or assembly can be quickly and easily modified. As you will see, in-context design is simple and fast, even in the context of 30,000 other parts.

How to Replace a Chain in a Pull-Chain Light Fixture
A pull-chain lighting fixture incorporates a length of chain and sometimes a cord into the switch in the fixture. This allows you to turn the light on when the fixture itself is out of reach and is particularly useful in attics, basements and storage areas. The base, typically made of plastic or porcelain, is relatively simple to install. If the chain in a pull-chain fixture comes loose or the switch fails, replacing the chain switch will solve the problem. Chain switches are relatively inexpensive and available at any home improvement or hardware store.
Shut off the power to the light fixture at the circuit breaker or remove the fuse from the fuse box for that circuit. Remove the light bulb from the fixture.
Unscrew the screws or bolts that hold the fixture in place. Pull the fixture down, carefully, and allow it to hang by the wires attached to it.
Set the volt meter to read AC current. Touch the leads of the volt meter to the wires attached to the switch in the fixture and check the meter to verify the power is off.
Loosen the switch terminal screws that hold the electrical wires to the switch. Remove the wires from the switch terminal screws.
Locate the brass cap on the side of the pull chain where the chain exits the switch. Loosen and remove the brass cap to release the pull-chain switch from the fixture. Remove the damaged switch.
Unscrew the terminal screws on the new switch. Attach the electrical wires to the terminal screws and tighten the screws to hold the wires in place on the new switch.
Return the fixture to is original location. Screw or bolt the fixture in place. Replace the light bulb. Turn on the circuit breaker or replace the fuse for the electrical circuit that serves the fixture. Pull the chain on the fixture to verify the switch operates properly.
- Some newer types of plastic pull-chain electrical fixtures incorporate the switch directly into the fixture, making it impossible to replace the switch. With this type of fixture, you'll need to replace the entire fixture.

Nationwide Permit # 36 - Boat Ramps
Boat ramps may be eligible for a federal streamlined permitting process under NWP #36.
It may be worthwhile to contact the Corps office to discuss your project if you have any questions.
Boat ramps must meet both federal and state requirements. All boat ramps must meet the following state standards:
 1. Boat ramps are to provide water access to those who do not otherwise have access by a dock, pier or marina;
 2. Unless no feasible alternatives exist in non-vegetated wetlands, vegetated wetlands cannot be filled or excavated for purposes of constructing boat ramps. If filling or excavating is allowed it must be limited to what is reasonable for the intended use;
 3. Boat ramps must be constructed of environmentally acceptable materials and demonstrate sound design and construction so the ramp is reasonably expected to be safe and effective and minimize adverse effects;
 4. Boat ramp locations that require dredging or filling of wetlands to provide deep water access, parking areas or associated facilities are not permitted, unless no feasible alternatives exist and environmental impacts are minimized;
 5. Public use boat ramps in easily accessible areas (bridges, existing abandoned causeways or other areas) are encouraged if the areas comply with other applicable regulations;
 6. Priorities for boat ramp construction in environmentally sensitive areas are as follows:
 1. First priority goes to public use ramps that are open to all citizens;
 2. Then priority goes to restricted use ramps only open to citizens of a particular area or organization;
 3. And finally priority goes to to private use ramps for only one citizen or family.
 7. If private use is necessary, the ramp must, whenever feasible, be located where the least environmental impact will accrue and cannot be wider than 12 feet.

pam_set_items (8) - Linux Manuals
pam_set_items: A PAM test module to set module-specific PAM items
NAME
pam_set_items - A PAM test module to set module-specific PAM items
SYNOPSIS
pam_set_items.so
DESCRIPTION
PAM modules store data in PAM items. These items are only accessible from module context, not application context as they might include private data (PAM_AUTHTOK normally contains the password). But when testing PAM modules, it's often nice to make sure a PAM module under test can retrieve data from the stack. The pam_set_items module makes this possible by reading environment variables and setting them as PAM items.
OPTIONS
None
MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
All module types (account, auth, password and session) are provided.
EXAMPLE
Consider an example that tests that pam_unix is able to read a provided password and doesn't query on its own. The test service file would contain:
auth required pam_set_items.so
auth required pam_unix.so
Then the test would put the item to the test environment with:
setenv("PAM_AUTHTOK", "secret");
Then run the PAM conversation.

Stanford Gets $24 Million for Heart Center / Researchers to investigate cardiovascular disease
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, August 23, 2000
2000-08-23 04:00:00 PDT STANFORD -- Stanford University Medical Center has been awarded $24 million to establish a cardiovascular clinical research center devoted to developing genetics-based approaches to the prevention and treatment of heart disease.
The grant, to be distributed over four years by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, was announced yesterday by foundation officials in Las Vegas.
Dr. Thomas Quertermous, Stanford Medical Center's chief of cardiovascular medicine, said the goal of the research is to identify the genetic basis of vascular heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. The research will "take advantage of the human genome project and other current initiatives," he said, "to provide the greatest hope for advanced diagnosis and treatment of individuals with heart disease."
The center is part of a collaboration among researchers at Stanford Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in Oakland, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Framingham Heart Study in Massachusetts.

Traffic Engineering manages the transportation system to provide for the safe mobility of the traveling public. This includes maintenance to traffic signals for the City's 250 miles of streets, review of traffic-related components for proposed development projects, providing for transportation planning and design for City capital improvement projects, maintaining the traffic crash analysis program and coordinating safety education with the Kettering schools.
The City of Kettering was one of the first local municipalities to develop and utilize Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). ITS is an advanced surveillance, communication, control and computing system along with engineering management methods that enables a city to increase safety, reduce congestion and improve productivity of our transportation systems. The City's ITS is called "KARTS," (Kettering Area Responsive Traffic System) – This program features the use of the computerized signal control system to safely increase traffic capacity and reduce stops on the major streets. As a result of accident analysis, intersection timing and phasing adjustment it is possible to reduce accidents and improve the efficiency of traffic flow.
Cameras at Kettering's busiest intersections are used to review and verify traffic flow and other conditions along the roadways that could have a direct impact on the motoring public. The cameras are routinely used to verify traffic incidents, coordinate emergency response, coordinate and maintain traffic flow, perform traffic studies, and ascertain environmental conditions.
Traffic Signs and Markings
Email the Traffic Engineer at _EMAIL_ concerning why a section of the city is signed or marked and to discuss any traffic issue that is of concern.
Routine maintenance of existing signs should be reported to the Street Department at _PHONE_ and emergencies or hazardous situations should be reported to Kettering Police Department at _PHONE_.
Email _EMAIL_ to report a visibility problem at an intersection or driveway, trees or bushes overhanging the walkway, or trees over the roadway interfering with vehicular traffic.

Meaning and definition of Book Value
The book value can be defined as the value at which an asset is passed on a balance sheet. The book value is also referred as "Net Asset Value" in the UK.
As explained by Investopedia, the book value is the total value of a company's assets which would be theoretically received by the shareholders on liquidation of a company. On being compared to the market value of the company, the book value can be a sign of the stock being overor underpriced.
However, in personal finance, the book value of an investment refers to the price paid for a debt investment or a security. On the sale of a stock, the capital gain or loss is calculated by deducting the selling price from the book value.
Calculating the Book Value of an Asset
To calculate the book value of an asset, the accumulated depreciation is deducted from the cost of the asset.
The calculation of net asset value of a company involves a deduction of intangible assets, like patents and goodwill, and the liabilities from the total assets.
Importance of Book Value
It has been proved by various studies that book value is the most effective evaluation in determining the performance of stock. The book value method is generally used as a technique of cross-testing the more common method of applying multiples to cash flow, EBIT, or net earnings. The use of book value is, however, the primary method of valuation in the following mentioned situations:
- Where the company is noticed to lose money on an operating basis. In such situations, there are no earnings on which the aforesaid multiples can be applied. Thus, the book value of assets is used for valuation in such cases.
- Book value holds great importance for quantifying assets in small distribution companies with sales below $20 million. The distributors of this category are generally successful due to the close relationships between departing owners and the company's customers and suppliers. These relationships are questionable for these are generally non transferable and non contractual. Such companies, most commonly, offer sales at their book value in addition to a modest premium.

In 2015, schools with students learning under Fontan Relational Education (FRE)
saw achievements of:
- Average of 40 percent increase in reading comprehension
- 5 percent increase YOY (Year Over Year) in GPA
- Dropout rates close to zero
- No student failing
- Academic performance Ratio of 1.029 against 0.36 of traditional education
- 37 percent of students finishing a grade in seven months. Total average of students finishing a grade in nine months.
According to Erika Twani, CEO of Learning One to One Foundation, "There are many theories on how to improve our education outcomes: increase in-school hours, smaller school/class size, different teachers' compensation models, introduce technology, and so on. These ideas all have merit, but most only involve investing in old concepts. Unless we change the essence of the learning practice, we will not succeed. That is exactly what the Learning One to One Foundation does –literally transforming education."
Why it's different
Fontan Relational Education (FRE) is a proven model with 58 years of research that focuses on developing cognitive skills along with intellectual, personal, and socio-emotional skills. FRE customizes the learning process for different learners at an individual level based on students' abilities and interests, relating everything they learn to their own lives while using technology as the platform for personalized learning. It is supported by one-on-one academic guidance and a one-to-one computer system based on cloud technology that efficiently coordinates student achievement and engages students, school staff, parents, counselors and administrators.
According to Twani, "We focus on the learning process of each individual student, rather than personalization of content, which is what the vast majority of models do. The main tenet of the Fontan Relational Education model is its defined strategy to create learning autonomy, which happens as students grow and evolve in their learning process."
Why it Works
FRE is called "Relational" education because students move to the next topic in all subject areas only when they are able to "relate" everything they learn to their daily lives, increasing knowledge retention and their chances to succeed academically, developing true cognitive skills. Research proves that FRE works equally well with students with disabilities, allowing them to perform as any student. Public schools using Fontan Relational Education have improved performance in as little as one year after adoption.
How it Works
Under a specific school or an entire school district request, Learning One to One Foundation provides expert guidance for whole-school reform, teacher, parent, and student training to adopt FRE, an on-line app that enhances the students learning experience, and continuous support to improve academic and technology performance every day. FRE evolves every year, allowing educators to be prepared for students learning requirements in this never-ending transformation in the world. The Foundation is available for immediate consultations and to provide more information.

What type of clay is used for pinch pots?
If you want to make a durable, food and drink safe pinch pot, you need to use pottery clay. This kind of clay can be intimidating to beginners as you have to fire it in a kiln to cure it.
How much clay is needed for a pinch pot?
Step 1 – Making your Pinch Pots Start with two balls of clay that are the same size and weight.
What material do we use to make a pinch pot?
- White air dry clay (e.g. Crayola Air Dry Clay, Amaco Stonex white clay, Prang DAS Air Hardening Clay) or homemade salt dough.
- Acrylic paint.
- Paint brushes.
- Clear acrylic sealer (gloss finish) or decoupage medium (e.g. Mod Podge)
What type of clay is best for hand building?
Earthenware clay is the best clay for handbuilding pottery because of its strength and plasticity. Other clays, like porcelain, are not recommended for beginning handbuilding because they are stiff and not as easy to form.
What are the 4 hand building techniques of clay?
"Handbuilding" is working with clay by hand using only simple tools, not the pottery wheel.
- Pinch Pots. Begin a pinch pot by forming a lump of clay into a smooth sphere that fits the size of the hand.
- Coil Method. Coils of clay can be used to build bowls, vases and other forms in various shapes and sizes.
- Slab Method.
How thick should a pinch pot be?
When you start out, it's best to aim for a pinch pot that is around ¼ inch (6mm) thick.
Can you make a pinch pot with air dry clay?
Tiny pinch pots are easy to create and make a fun gift for Mother's Day. This is a great project for kids and adults to do together. Using a small ball of Crayola Air-Dry Clay, poke a hole in the middle with your thumb and shape into a little pot or dish.
How do you connect clay to clay so that it doesn't fall apart once it dries?
If you are connecting multiple pieces of air dry clay, use a knife or sharp tool to cut X's on each of the pieces to be joined. Then, press the pieces together. Scoring the pieces in this manner will help them stick together much better when drying, making them more secure for finishing.
How to make a simple pinch pot?
Prepare the clay. To make this project,you will need white self-hardening clay or air dry clay.
How to make a clay pot the primitive way?
Finding&Processing Clay. Clay is abundant almost everywhere on earth,in moist climates it is recognizable by the plastic quality but in drier areas by a crackled texture and
How to make coil pots with polymer clay?
To make a coil pot, start by flattening a chunk of clay and shaping it into a circle for the base. Next, form another chuck of clay into a thick cylinder, roll it so it's about the thickness of your pinky, and rip it into coils.
How to make things out of clay pots?

One of the largest remaining wetland complexes in New Zealand, the lagoon and wetlands provide a vital refuge for rare birds and threatened plants.
One of the largest remaining wetland complexes in New Zealand, the Waituna Lagoon and Awarua Wetlands is hugely important for its biological diversity and cultural values.
The lagoon and the surrounding 20,000 hectares of wetlands area was one of the first in New Zealand to be officially recognised as a wetland of international importance. A 3500 hectare section of the wetlands, known as the Waituna Wetland Scientific Reserve, was listed as part of New Zealand's obligations when signing the Ramsar Wetland Convention; an international convention that promotes the wise or sustainable use of wetlands. The site includes four major wetland types: coastal lagoons, freshwater swamps, extensive peatlands, and estuaries. Each ecosystem is unique and maintained by different ecological processes.
The wetlands provide a vital refuge for rare bird species, including the Southern New Zealand Dotterel (Tūturiwhatu), Marsh Crake (Koitareke), Fernbird (Mātātā) and Australasian Bittern (Matuku). The area is also visited frequently by many different trans-equatorial migrating and wading bird species, attracting rare visitors to New Zealand such as the Siberian Tattler, Greenshank and Sanderling. Most of the migratory waders are present only from October to late March, but some of the more common species are present through the winter as well. Many threatened plants and insects, as well as wildfowl, native fish and trout, also call the area home.
So bring your binoculars and spot rare birds, enjoy the easy walking tracks, explore the margins of the lagoon in a kayak or small boat, or just soak in the amazing and unique sights at this important natural site.

Nurturing young nature champions in N.B.
Nature NB's Nature Champions Program aims not only to protect the natural habitat of birds, butterflies and other pollinators, but also to address "nature deficit disorder in youth," says Vanessa Roy-McDougall, Executive Director, Nature NB.
Funded by TD FEF, in 2014, the program offered 180 students aged 8 to 16 the opportunity to help build 27 bird and bat houses and three native bird and pollinator gardens at the Lincoln Elementary Community School in Lincoln, N.B., and Barker's Point School and the Hyla Nature Preserve in Fredericton.
The wildlife structures provide shelter for birds and bats, while the gardens offer food and nesting sites for pollinating bees, butterflies and birds (for more on the importance of pollination, read our blog on "Pollinator Power"
"By directly involving youth in the process, it will be giving them the opportunity to get outside and involved in their natural environment… [creating] a more ecologically aware generation," says Roy-McDougall.
For 25 years, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation has worked to help protect the environment and green communities across Canada. By donating to TD FEF, you're directly supporting projects that make a difference in your community.

Maned lionesses have been regularly spotted there since 2002. These maned lionesses look exactly like males therefore making them safer, since other animals are more scared to steal food or attack the pride. This phenomena most likely occurs because the fetus is exposed to higher than normal androgen levels ( male hormones such as testosterone ) during gestation period. The president of the big-cat conservation group Panthera, Luke Hunter believes that there's a possibility of the lion population in that area being genetically predisposed to this phenomena.

Latest update: Experiment 17
Exp 17
Topic: Technique - synthesis
Purpose: to determine the percetage of aluminium in a sample X by means of the preparation of a complex compoun dof aluminium wiht 8-hydroxyquinoline.
Let's assume that the result of step (a) obtained as below:
mass of container + KA3/ g = x
mass of empty container/ g = y
mass of KA3/ g = x-y = z
Let's the result of step (b) as below:
mass of crucible + precipitate/ g = a
mass of empty crucible/g = b
mass of precipitate/g = a - b = c
(c) (i) to maximised the collision between particles and thus ensures a complete reation
(ii) to remove impurities and excess ions. Cold water ensures that no precipitate will dissolve and be washed away because water with low temperature will not dissove the precipitate.
(d) the complex precipitate obtained is dried and weight a few times in the oven until the weight of the complex precipitate obtained is constant.
(e) Mass of 1 mole of complex compound with formula Al(C9H6NO)3 = 459.0 g
(f) Percetage of aluminium in the complex compound = 27.0 / 459.o x 100% = 5.88%
(g) weight of aluminium produced = 5.88/100 x c = m1 g
therefore, the percetage of Al in sample X = m1/z x 100% = p %
All the best!

Balokole is an African fundamentalist Christian reform movement that started in the 1930s. The Balokole arose within the East African Revival Movement which sought to renew the Protestant churches in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. Despite its theological roots in the Western revival movement of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Balokole evolved as an indigenous African movement. The term Balokole can be translated as "the saved ones" or "the chosen".
The Balokole movement criticized established hierarchies within the Church of Uganda and questioned prevailing amorality or double standards. The Balokole formed egalitarian brotherhoods, followed puritanical rules, publicly confessed their sins and professed their experience of conversion, which they understood as a radical break with their former sinful selves and a receiving of new life from God.[1] They stressed the importance of the Lordship of Christ over all areas of life.[1][2]

1 Calculating particle properties of a wave A light wave consists of particles (photons): The energy E of the particle is calculated from the frequency f of the wave via Planck: E = h f (1) A particle can act like a wave: The momentum p of the particle is calculated from the wavelength via de Broglie: p = h/ (2) Frequency f and wavelength can be converted into each other by the wave equation: f = v (3) Ch. 12
2 Energy of a photon Consider light with a wavelength = 500 nm Use (1),(3), v=c E hf hc J s m (1) (3) m/s J = 2.5 ev A practical energy unit in quantum physics is an ev, the energy of an electron accelerated by 1 Volt: ev = electron-volt = ( electron charge e ) (1 Volt) = ( Coulomb) (1 Volt) = Joule Conversion of Joule to ev : J = ev
3 Conversion between wavelength and energy Wavelength and energy are inversely proportional with the proportionality constant hc: E = hc/ = hc/e hc = 1240 ev nm Green light for example: E = 1240 ev nm / 550 nm = 2.25 ev
4 How many photons can you see? In a test of eye sensitivity, experimenters used 1 millisecond flashes of green light. The lowest light power that could be seen was Watt. How many green photons (550 nm, 2.25 ev) is this? A. 10 photons B. 100 photons C. 1,000 photons D. 10,000 photons 10-3 s W = J = ev = 250 ev; 250eV/2.25eV = 111 photons
5 Detecting single photons A photon can be converted into a pulse of electrons: For ultraviolet light, X-rays, Gamma rays: In a Geiger counter a photon knocks electrons from gas molecules, creating a miniature spark. For visible light: In a photomultiplier a photon kicks an electron out of a solid (the photocathode). The electron is multiplied into a million electrons by multiple bounces.

7 The wave character of electrons h p h mv e v Js s kg velocity The wavelength is inversely proportional to the velocity v of the electron and to its mass m e. An electron with low velocity (low kinetic energy) has a long wavelength, which is easier to detect. Ch. 12.4
8 Wavelength of an electron from its kinetic energy 1) Velocity v from the kinetic energy E kin : E kin = ½ m e v 2 v = 2 E kin /m e 2) Wavelength via de Broglie and p=m e v: = h/m e v For a kinetic energy E kin = 1eV one obtains: 1) v = J / kg (ev = J ) = m/s (m e = kg) 2) = Js / kg m/s (h = Js) = m = 1 nm
9 Typical wavelength of an electron The wavelength of an electron is very short and hard to measure with macroscopic tools. The spacing of nickel atoms in a crystal was needed to demonstrate electron diffraction. A typical electron energy in a solid with 1eV energy has a wavelength of only 1 nanometer. Nanotechnology has the capability to shape electron waves and thereby influence the behavior of electrons in a solid (Lect. 24a).
10 Wavelength of a football NFL guidelines: Weight 14 to 15 ounces = 0.4 kg Brett Favre can throw the ball 70 miles/hour = 30 m/s mvv 0.4 kg 30 m /s 12 kg m /s h p J s 12 kg m /s m nm That is similar to the Planck length where space-time falls apart, times smaller than the smallest measurable length (Lect. 3). Conclusion: Macroscopic objects don t show measurable quantum effects.
11 When are quantum phenomena important? (optional) 1) Quantum physics is important at small distances d, smaller than the de Broglie wavelength =h/p : d < Example: Nanotechnology for shaping electron waves. 2) Quantum physics is important for large energy quanta E = hf: Example: Planck s radiation law cuts the spectrum off when the energy to create a photon exceeds the available thermal energy ( E therm 0.1 ev at T=300K ) : E > E therm Example: The photoelectric effect occurs only when the photon energy exceeds the minimum energy to knock out an electron ( = work function 4eV ) : E >
12 Criteria 1) and 2) are connected by the wave equation: f = v ( v = velocity of the wave ) If the wavelength is small the frequency f is large and the energy quantum E=hf is large. Example: Quantum computing requires that quantum effects are dominant. Three approaches to quantum computing are pursued in the Physics Department (silicon quantum dots, superconducting junctions, and cold atoms in traps). All of them use very low temperatures to keep the quantum effects undisturbed by thermal noise (Criterion 2).

Sony wants to push AIs to learn from their own experiences
The consumer electronics company has invested in AI startup Cogitai to build intelligent systems that will learn from their own experiences in the world. "We have a shared vision for where AI needs to go," Dr. Satinder Singh, co-founder of Cogitai, told Engadget. "The next wave will be 'continual learning.' It's the idea that machine intelligence will continually grow as it interacts with the world." Continual learning isn't just about creating smart devices that sense your presence, or virtual assistants that understand you better. It's a technique that is expected to give machines a sort of self-evolving capability. "It builds on everything that has come before," said Dr Singh. "There's supervised deep learning to distinguish objects and then there's reinforcement learning because AI needs to act in the world and…

PigProgress - What to do when tail biting occurs?
What to do when tail biting occurs?
Almost all conventional pig producers will be familiar with tail bitten pigs. It's called a tail biting outbreak when biting leads to multiple victims per pen, or even spreads throughout the barn. Outbreaks are hard to stop – here is how it is possible to overcome an outbreak successfully.
Tail-bitten pigs are often noticed only at an advanced stage, when there is shortening of the tail. At this stage it is likely that most other pigs in the pen have noticed the blood and been attracted to it. That may motivate them to bite and to create new victims.
Ideally, tail biting is noticed at an early stage, before there is blood on the tail and before the tail length is reduced. This can be through either noticing the biter or noticing the victim. When a pig is repeatedly biting tails, the pig can be observed for ten to 15 minutes to see if it continues biting. If this is the case it might be better to remove the potential problem causer.
Ropes are chewable, destructible, somewhat edible. Photo: J-Y. Chou
Tail posture as indicator
Victims can be recognised at an early stage by looking at tail posture. A tail almost permanently tucked between the legs indicates it is being bitten. A briefly tucked tail can, however, be in response to other social interactions such as displacement. A good time to check tail posture is at the feeder. If the feeding is synchronised, it is easy to check all tails together. Even at an individual feeding station, if pigs are constantly seen with tucked tails when feeding, there may be a biting problem in the pen. A tucked tail should be inspected closely; if injuries are present, then it is better to act immediately rather than wait until it gets worse.

What to do?
Action to address tail biting can be through providing distraction to the group or by removing biters or victims when it is more severe. Almost anything can be used to distract pigs, but they easily lose interest. It is therefore more important to change enrichment regularly than to necessarily have the best type of enrichment. However, enrichment should be safe for the animals and not pose risks for food safety.
Good enrichment materials for pigs are chewable, destructible and edible and can be manipulated by multiple pigs at the same time. Loose materials such as straw, hay and sawdust are most used by pigs, but if the housing limits the provision of these, there are other alternatives. Examples are ropes, large feed pellets (beetroot pellets), soft rubber hoses and jute sacks (burlap sacks).
What to do when tail biting occurs?
Using a step-wise protocol
Straw is one of the best materials to occupy pigs. However, for several reasons straw may not be a suitable option or possibility, especially on fully slatted floors. In Ireland about 80% of farms have fully slatted floors. A recent study conducted on a farm in Ireland showed that tail-biting outbreaks can still be effectively reduced using a set protocol. In this protocol three types of intervention were used in a random order:
A. Putting three ropes in a pen of 12-14 pigs
B. Removing the victim
C. Removing the biter.
If after 72 hours blood was detected on one of the pigs in the pen, then the next step was taken. When an option was applied but was not successful, then the next one was applied until all three options had been used. Victims or biters that had been removed were later introduced back in the group as described in the protocol in the box. This resulted in no overt aggression between the pigs when the removed pigs were reintroduced to the original group.
Figure 1 – Step wise plan for overcoming tail biting problems in a pen.
What to do when tail biting occurs?
80% of outbreaks can be solved
The study showed that 80% of severe tail-biting outbreaks could be stopped, even when removed pigs are reintroduced to their original groups. Adding ropes could shorten the duration of an outbreak, since it may take longer to remove and reintroduce pigs. Removing victims or biters was as effective as adding ropes in stopping an outbreak. All pigs were reintroduced to their original groups, which saved the need to have extra space to permanently house removed pigs. Based on the outcomes, the following stepwise plan was recommended (see Figure 1).
Figure 2 – The chance of reducing a tail biting outbreak 'likelihood of success' depends on the number of victims and biters per pen.
The need to respond quickly
The results also showed the importance of responding quickly to the occurrence of tail biting. The chance of successfully reducing a tail-biting outbreak depends on the number of affected pigs in the pen. Figure 2 shows that if more than 50% of the pigs are victims of tail biting, the chance of success in overcoming the outbreak can still be around 60%. But if 33% of pigs are biters, then the chance of stopping the outbreak is only 30%. Thus, the more biters in the pen, the smaller the chance that the outbreak can be stopped.
How to remove and reintroduce pigs from a group?
1. Determine which pig to remove to gain most benefit.
2. Remove the selected pig together with at least one other pig.
3. Write down the pen number from which they are removed and date of removal.
4. Provide a recovery pen without mixing with other unfamiliar pigs.
5. When the pigs have recovered, or at least within seven days, return the pigs together to the original pen.
6. Provide ropes in the pen at the time of reintroduction.
7. Use scent marking spray such as diluted Dettol when pigs are returned.
Have a tail-biting first aid kit
This protocol worked successfully at the farm, which is a conventional farm with fully slatted floors. This does not mean that the protocol will be successful under different conditions. We encourage others to try it but to have other safety measures ready as well. We recommend having a stock of different enrichment objects and products that are directly available whenever an outbreak occurs. Such a 'tail-biting first aid kit' can include ropes, straw, toys, large feed pellets (beetroot pellets), rubber hoses and jute sacks (burlap sacks).

Latest revision as of 14:40, 22 November 2010
The intended audience for this document is the OPS235 linux admin class. It is a guide to iptables in the context of what OPS235 is currently studying and therefore a variety of its complexities will not be explored here. All are welcome to reference this document and refine what it is trying to convey to be more accurate or precise.
This is an outline of
 - how iptables command lines are structured and understood
 - an explanation of the rule specifications that we use
 - sample commands that can be seen in the labs to relate to this document
Command Line Structure
At its core basics, an Iptables command is made up of the following parts.
 - The first line below identifies the structure of the commands we would use.
 - The lines that follow are similar as found in the iptables man pages.
 - the items listed with [ ] square brackets are optional in the command
 _TAG_ command chain rule-spec([match,] target/jump )
 _TAG_ -A chain rule-spec (Appends a rule)
 '' -D chain rule# (Delete by rule number)
 '' -D chain rule-spec (Delete by rule-spec match)
 '' -I chain [rule#] rule-spec (Insert by rule-spec)
 The rule# is 1 by default
 Otherwise it is optional
 '' -R chain rule# rule-spec (Replace by rule#)
 '' -P chain target (Policy set for chain)
 '' -F [chain] (Flush the rules from memory)
 '' -L [chain] [--line-numbers] (List current rules in memory)
 '' -S [chain] (Shows the rules in memory in
 their command format)
 Other commands using "service"
 # service iptables status (List rules currently in memory)
 # service iptables save (Saves the current configuration
 into /etc/sysconfig/iptables )
Options for Elements in the Structure
Considering the commands, chains, matches and targets/jumps... there are only a few of those that we will actually use, at least for this course. Matches can get a bit more complex and will be discussed next, but the others will be listed here.
The items that are listed in ( ) round brackets are there for informational purposes as we don't use them in our course for our configurations.
Brief Listing of Choices
 Commands Chains Matches Targets -j
 -A...Append INPUT -p protocol ACCEPT
 -I...Insert OUTPUT -s src-address[/mask][,...] DROP
 -D...Delete (FORWARD) -d dst-address[/mask][,...] LOG
 -R...Replace --dport port (REJECT)
 -P...Policy --sport port
 -F...Flush
 -L...List
 -S...Show
Above we can see that when it comes down to it, our chains and targets are limited and few. The commands we are dealing with aren't that many either. These few things help us establish the core basic foundation for our understanding of Iptables and what it offers.
"REJECT" - This target is the same as DROP, except that it returns a define-able error message to the sender. This informs the sender that the port, host, or service is unreachable and defeats the potential stealth mode that "DROP" alone offers.
Match Statements
Here's a bit more definition to our match statements. Essentially:
 - a match is based on a protocol ( TCP, UDP, ICMP,...)
 - source and destination addresses can define
 - a single ip address with or without a netmask
 - a network ip address with its netmask
 - a network name or a hostname (defined locally - not through DNS)
 - and a comma separated list of these
 - source and destination ports can use either:
 - port number
 - port name (resolved in /etc/services)
INPUT / OUTPUT... Source / Destination
So where is that packet, coming or going?
 | INPUT | <--destination-------------------<--source--< |OUTPUT |
 | | | |
 | F12Host | | Fedora2 |
 | | | |
 | OUTPUT| >-source-->----------------->-destination--> |INPUT |
The question of whether a packet is arriving, or leaving can be more easily visualized by the above chart. As you can see, source and destination are a matter of perspective. If you are configuring your iptables on your F12host machine, your point of reference for your Fedora2 machine will be different, or opposite.
Hopefully this chart will provide a visual for determining how to configure your scripts.
INPUT/OUTPUT Chain processing
The following diagrams hope to visually define the hand off process of a packet as it enters or leaves a given server. This outlines in a brief sketch, what is happening on the INPUT and OUTPUT chains.
--------- | routing localhost Local process
|F12Host|>-wire--->eth0|Fedora2 -> decision --> INPUT chain -->filtering --> or application
--------- | is made \ of rules
 some routed elsewhere
 or sent to FORWARD chain
| Local process routing localhost ---------
|Fedora2 --> or applicaiton -> decision-> OUTPUT chain -->filtering-> eth0-> wire->|F12Host|
| is made of rules interface ---------
Sample Scripts from our Lab Material
 # iptables -F // flushes the rules from the table
 # iptables -L // lists the rules running in memory

to display existing 2-dimensional data frames, or to start XDS data processing by displaying a raw data frame. In the latter case, the "generate XDS.INP" button runs the generate_XDS.INP script for the raw data frame that is being displayed. The blue circles correspond to the areas of the detector that are within TRUSTED_REGION; the green circles correspond to INCLUDE_RESOLUTION_RANGE, and the red hatched regions correspond to EXCLUDE_RESOLUTION_RANGEs. The locations of the circles are not as accurate as those that XDS uses internally, because a simplified formula is used to calculate the resolution; this e.g. does not take care of detector swingout or otherwise skew geometry. Untrusted areas can be specified by the user, using two (UNTRUSTED_ELLIPSE; UNTRUSTED_RECTANGLE) or four (UNTRUSTED QUADRILATERAL) right mouse clicks. The resulting areas are shown with red outline, and the keyword/parameter pairs are shown in the XDS.INP tab.
this shows the current XDS.INP file. Coloured items correspond to the circles of the Frame tab. Changes can be made with the simple editor, and the new version can be saved. A run of xds_par can be started (and killed).
The XDS.INP tab is directly connected with the Frame tab; changing a value in XDS.INP results in immediate change in the Frame tab. This means that e.g. an UNTRUSTED area that was positioned wrongly can be edited or simply removed in the XDS.INP tab.
Output from XDS
shows INIT.LP
offers possibilities for running short scripts. Several such scripts are pre-defined; the user may create her own scripts. The first item offers to run XDS-viewer for displaying the predicted pattern of reflections for a user-specified frame, together with the frame itself. The other pre-defined scripts run commands that either simplify to save/restore the current data processing files to/from a "save" directory, or to manipulate XDS.INP in several ways, or to run e.g. pointless on the generated XDS_ASCII.HKL file.
echo | xdsstat > XDSSTAT.LP
The program is under development and has bugs. If it crashes, it should simply be restarted. A crash of the program does not interfere with the operation of XDS.
The current version of the program can be downloaded from [1] (Linux 64bit), [2] (Linux 32bit), or [3] (Mac OSX 10.7).
The program depends on the availability of generate_XDS.INP, XDS-viewer, and of course xds_par, xds, xdsconv, and xscale. One of the items in the Tools tab requires xxdiff. The xdsstat tab requires xdsstat.
program updated May 22 14:40 CEST
Known bugs / problems / workarounds
 1. TOOLS: "Show frame..." It creates everything shown in the commandline but it seem to us that everything runs in the background. Therefore xds-viewer does not open anywhere as it is not seen. Also, it would be great if this image together with the predictions would be re-directed to the Frame tab.
 On Linux, the xds-viewer window is brought to the foreground automatically, whereas on the Mac this does not seem to happen. However, an icon for xds-viewer appears in the dock (on the right) and I can double-click it to see the xds-viewer window. I have no idea how to bring xds-viewer to the foreground automatically, and I need input from people who know Macs and tell me how to do it (on the commandline!). The reason why we do not open automatically in the Frame tab is that one can have several xds-viewer windows open at the same time, and compare the patterns. As a workaround, you can manually open the resulting temp/FRAME_$X.cbf in the FRAME tab.
 2. TOOLS: "Further analyses" Again pointless runs nicely but there is no output for the user.
 Could it be that you started xds-gui by double-clicking its icon in the Finder? In that case, there is no output visible, because there is no console. Unfortunately, for all the Tools, the output is in the console window where xds-gui was started. We will try to find out how to open a window where the output is then shown. Thus, currently the workaround for this problem is to start xds-gui in a console window.

DOS and BIOS Interrupts DOS and BIOS interrupts are used to perform some very useful functions, such as displaying data to the monitor, reading data from keyboard, etc. They are used by identifying the interrupt option type, which is the value stored in register AH and providing, whatever extra information that the specific option requires. BIOS Interrupt 10H Option 0H Sets video mode. Registers used: AH = 0H AL = Video Mode.
3H - CGA Color text of 80X25 7H - Monochrome text of 80X25 Ex: MOV AH,0 MOV AL,7 INT 10H BIOS Interrupt 10H Option 2H Sets the cursor to a specific location. Registers used: AH = 2H BH = 0H selects Page 0. DH = Row position. DL = Column position. BIOS Interrupt 10H
Ex: MOV AH,2 MOV BH,0 MOV DH,12 MOV DL,39 INT 10H BIOS Interrupt 10H Option 6H Scroll window up. This interrupt is also used to clear the screen when you set AL = 0. Registers used: AH = 6H AL = number of lines to scroll. BH = display attribute. CH = y coordinate of top left. CL = x coordinate of top left. DH = y coordinate of lower right. DL = x coordinate of lower right. BIOS Interrupt 10H
Clear Screen Example: MOV AH,6 MOV AL,0 MOV BH,7 MOV CH,0 MOV CL,0 MOV DH,24 MOV DL,79 INT 10H The code above may be shortened by using AX, BX and DX registers to move word size data instead of byte size data. BIOS Interrupt 10H Option 7H Scroll window down. This interrupt is also used to clear the screen when you set AL = 0. Registers used: AH
= 7H AL = number of lines to scroll. BH = display attribute. CH = y coordinate of top left. CL = x coordinate of top left. DH = y coordinate of lower right. DL = x coordinate of lower right. BIOS Interrupt 10H Option 8H Read a character and its attribute at the cursor position. Registers used: AH = 8H and returned attribute value. AL = Returned ASCII value. BH = display page. BIOS Interrupt 10H Option 9H Write a character and its
attribute at the cursor position. Registers used: AH = 9H. AL = ASCII value. BH = display page. BL = attribute. CX = number of characters to write. Attribute Definition Blinking D7 D6 Background D5 D4 Intensity D3 D2 Monochrome display attributes

The makeup of the federal workforce has been changing along with that of the American workforce as a whole over the last decade, although some differences between the two have remained fairly constant, according to data the government released Friday.
In comparison with the overall workforce, the federal workforce is slightly more male and slightly less white: The federal workforce is 43.6 percent female and 65.9 percent white, compared with 46 and 70 percent respectively in the overall workforce.
Among demographic groups, Hispanics remained the most under-represented in federal jobs as of fiscal 2011, which ended Sept. 30. Hispanics made up 8.1 percent of the federal workforce, compared with 13.6 percent in the overall workforce, a gap that has been consistent for years. In 2002, 6.9 percent of the federal workforce was Hispanic compared with 12.2 percent of the overall workforce, and in 2007 the figures were 7.8 percent and 13.3 percent, respectively.
Meanwhile, the percentages of blacks in the federal workforce and in the overall workforce have held roughly steady. Currently, African Americans make up 17.8 percent of the federal workforce, the same as in 2007 and up from 17.6 percent in 2002. The percentage in the overall workforce was 10.4 in 2002 and 10.1 in both 2007 and 2011.
The percentage of Asian/Pacific Islanders in the federal workforce rose from 4.5 to 5.3 to 5.6 percent in that time, while the percentage in the overall workforce rose from 4 to 4.3 to 4.4 percent.
Native Americans make up about 2 percent of the federal workforce, more than double their representation in the overall workforce, ratios that have changed little over a decade. Non-Hispanic multi-racial employees account for the rest, about 1 percent.
The numbers changed relatively little from 2010 to 2011, with the percentage of men rising — and the percentage of women dropping — by 0.3 percentage points. The white percentage also dropped by 0.3 percentage points, while there were 0.1 percentage point increases among blacks, Hispanics and non-Hispanic multi-racial employees.
The report notes that the government has several initiatives under way, including a government-wide program to promote diversity and inclusiveness, a council to promote hiring, retention and advancement of Hispanics, and programs that seek to boost the hiring of the disabled and veterans. Programs for recruiting students and recent graduates also were overhauled recently.

Court Properly Refused to Submit an All-Inclusive Proportional Responsibility Issue Across Multiple Causes of Action
 Isaacs complains because attorney Schleier was not part of the percentage of responsibility determination made by the jury. Isaacs asserts that the charge should have directed the jury to determine the percentage of responsibility for all parties (including Schleier) in a single, global finding. He argues that all possible recoveries, on whatever basis, must be combined for a gross determination by the jury.
To support that argument, Isaacs relies on the language of the statute, Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 33.003-33.017 (Vernon 1997 & Vernon Supp.2007). Citing no case authority, he correctly posits that the Code attempts to proportion responsibility for tortious acts, so that each individual plaintiff receives the amount due, and each individual defendant pays the amount for which he or she is responsible. Beyond that, however, the language of the statute is the key.
The jury determined the percentages of responsibility for Bishop and Isaacs for fraud. Separate questions asked about other damages caused by Schleier and assessing a percentage of responsibility between Schleier and Bishop on those.
If this issue was preserved,6 the question is whether the statute requires a single jury question to be used to allocate percentage responsibility for all damages alleged in the lawsuit, regardless of whether multiple causes of action or theories of liability are involved.
Isaacs correctly points out that broad-form submission is the preferred method of presentation to the jury. Rule 277 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure explicitly provides that the court "shall, whenever feasible, submit the cause upon broad-form submission." See Tex.R. Civ. P. 277. But broad-form submission is not always feasible. Romero, 166 S.W.3d at 230.7 Indeed, the failure to adequately divide out various forms of damage can itself result in reversible error. Id. at 226-27.8
The preference for broad-form submission must be balanced against the language of Section 33.003(a) of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code:
The trier of fact, as to each cause of action asserted, shall determine the percentage of responsibility ․ for [each claimant, defendant, settling person, and responsible third party who has been joined under Section 33.004] with respect to each person's causing or contributing to cause in any way the harm for which recovery of damages is sought․
Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 33.003(a) (emphasis added); see F.F.P. Operating Ptnrs., L.P. v. Duenez, 237 S.W.3d 680 (Tex.2007).
The standard for our review is whether the trial court abused its discretion in deciding how to submit the charge, in light of the presumption in favor of broad-form submission of questions. Tex. Dep't of Human Servs. v. E.B., 802 S.W.2d 647, 649 (Tex.1990).
The record shows that the trial court attempted to separate the causes of action and their resultant damages and allocate them against the different parties to assure that each section could be separately addressed on appeal. The court's decision is defensible. Damage awards from different causes of action should be separated rather than lumped into a single whole-especially where different, but related, causes of action against different, but related, defendants are involved. Failing to do so, in fact, has been held to be reversible error. See, e.g., Bed, Bath & Beyond v. Urista, 211 S.W.3d 753, 756 (Tex.2006); Casteel, 22 S.W.3d at 388-89; Roberts v. Whitfill, 191 S.W.3d 348, 357 (Tex.App.-Waco 2006, no pet.); First United Bank v. Panhandle Packing & Gasket, Inc., 190 S.W.3d 10, 17 (Tex.App.-Amarillo 2005, no pet.); Tex. Indus. v. Vaughan, 919 S.W.2d 798, 804 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1996, writ denied). Although related, the actions Bishop brought against Schleier were not the same ones brought against Isaacs. Isaacs does not argue now, and did not argue then, that either Isaacs or Schleier would be liable for the damages caused by the other in those alternative causes of action. The trial court carefully separated the damages to avoid overlap, and each defendant was found liable for damages for the particular causes of action asserted against that party.
We find unfounded Isaacs' argument that Section 33.003 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code absolutely requires a lump submission. The statutory mandate is described as not being discretionary; failing to correctly apply the law is an abuse of discretion. In re Kuntz, 124 S.W.3d 179, 181 (Tex.2003). The statute does not, as Isaacs argues, require damages for all causes of action to be combined in a single unified recovery. The statute explicitly requires proportionate responsibility to be determined as to each cause of action. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 33.003.
While a single submission would be simpler, if it can be done fairly and accurately, here such a submission would not be fair or accurate. Merging damages from different causes of action and then requiring percentages be derived for damages not attributable to all defendants would actively create error. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by deciding not to give a single, unified proportional responsibility charge covering all causes of action.
(2) Denying Rescission to Bishop Was Within the Trial Court's Equitable Discretion
 Bishop argues that fraud-which Bishop did not discover until late in the discovery process-justified rescinding the contract and thus undoing the purchase. Bishop argues that the trial court abused its discretion by denying Bishop's right to rescind the purchase.
 Rescission is an equitable remedy that operates to extinguish a contract that is legally valid but must be set aside due to fraud, mistake, or for some other reason to avoid unjust enrichment. Martin v. Cadle Co., 133 S.W.3d 897, 903 (Tex.App.-Dallas 2004, pet. denied); Country Cupboard, Inc. v. Texstar Corp., 570 S.W.2d 70, 73-74 (Tex.Civ.App.-Dallas 1978, writ ref'd n.r.e.); see Humphrey v. Camelot Retirement Cmty., 893 S.W.2d 55, 59 (Tex.App.-Corpus Christi 1994, no writ). Rescission of a contract is an equitable remedy used as a substitute for monetary damages when such damages would not be adequate. Scott v. Sebree, 986 S.W.2d 364, 368 (Tex.App.-Austin 1999, pet. denied). Whether to grant rescission lies within the trial court's discretion. See Gentry v. Squires, 188 S.W.3d 396, 410 (Tex.App.-Dallas 2006, no pet.); Barker v. Roelke, 105 S.W.3d 75, 84 (Tex.App.-Eastland 2003, pet. denied); Tex. Capital Secs., Inc. v. Sandefer, 58 S.W.3d 760, 774 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, pet. denied); Humphrey, 893 S.W.2d at 59; Schenck v. Ebby Halliday Real Estate, Inc., 803 S.W.2d 361, 366 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 1990, no writ).
 Bishop sought to rescind the contract based on the jury finding that Isaacs engaged in fraud in connection with the purchase. A contract is subject to avoidance on that ground. Williams v. Glash, 789 S.W.2d 261, 264 (Tex.1990). In such a situation, an allegedly defrauded plaintiff has a choice to make, whether to claim the equitable remedy of rescission for fraud and try to get his or her property back or to affirm the transaction and seek damages. Calstar Props., L.L.C. v. City of Fort Worth, 139 S.W.3d 433, 440 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 2004, no pet.); Scott, 986 S.W.2d at 368.
 To be entitled to rescission, a party must show that (1) he or she and the defrauding party are in the status quo (i.e., there are no retained benefits received under the instrument and not restored to the other party) or (2) there are equitable considerations that obviate the need

How to Check the Pressure of a Hydraulic Butt Fusion Machine?
Issue Time:2021/12/29
 a method to check the pressure of the hydraulic butt welding machine,
The pressure gauge on the manifold block indicates the pressure of the carriage valve. How much pressure depends on the position of the selector valve and the pressure set on the specific pressure reducing valve. With the selector valve up, the facing pressure can be set. It may be necessary to adjust the carriage speed, while facing, with the top pressure reducing valve to control facing speed.
Shift the selector valve to the center position, heating, and set the pressure reducing valve at its lowest setting, or the drag pressure, whichever is higher. With the selector valve in the down position, the fusion pressure can be set.
An approximate 2 Bar (30 psi) drag factor should compensate for seal, and pipe drag with one joint of pipe on a pipe stand. If additional lengths of pipe are being moved by the movable jaws, the actual drag pressure should be determined using the following procedure:
(1) After facing the pipe, move the carriage so that the pipe ends are approximately 50 mm (2") apart.
(2) Shift the carriage control valve to the middle (neutral) position, select the heating mode, and adjust the middle pressure reducing valve to its lowest pressure by turning the valve counterclockwise.
(3) Shift the carriage control valve to the left.
(4) Gradually increase the pressure by turning the heating valve clockwise.
(5) Increase the pressure until the carriage moves.
(6) Quickly reduce the heating pressure valve counterclockwise until the carriage is just barely moving.
(7) Record this actual drag pressure.
(8) Take the pressure, determined from the Fusion Pressure Calculator, and add the actual measured drag pressure. This will be the actual fusion pressure to set with the bottom pressure reducing valve. If fusion pressures are used from the reference section, you must subtract 2 Bar (30psi) drag, which is already figured in, and then add the actual drag pressure back.
(9) Adjust the middle heating valve to show recorded drag so that pipe ends will stay in contact with the heater during the heating phase.
Through the above steps, we can correctly measure the actual resistance of the hydraulic butt welding machine to ensure a smoother welding result. As an expert in hydraulic butt welding machines for many years, RIYANG can give you some professional advice to a certain extent.
As an experienced butt welding machine manufacturer, RIYANG has won unanimous praise from many customers with its excellent R&D technology and leading manufacturing process.
