The Zetas said there will hardly be mountain building in the Alps, however they talk about a "rough ride" in the Alps during the shift. What is the minimum distance which I must keep from the rim of the Alps to avoid mountain building during the shift?
When an area of older mountains is no longer subject to mountain building, it experiences the same trauma during crustal movement and plate interaction that crust not in mountainous areas experiences. In other words, if the area is in a stretch zone then crevasses or sinkholes or dropping ground can occur. If an area is on a slip-slide fault line then crumbling ground can occur, or such a succession of jolts that structures are shaken to pieces. Quakes can be either horizontal or vertical and come in waves such that structures slam against each other. Where subduction is ongoing, mountain building occurs, and this involves sudden adjustments of the overriding rock strata, snapping rock layers jutting up at an angle to form a new mountain, or existing mountains tumbling down into valleys as they compress closer together. During the pole shift, all areas receive jolts, as all plates are in motion and slam into each other at the cession of motion. Thus, there will be no place on Earth where the ground will not move in waves, or experience horizontal or vertical thrusts. This is why we have stated that being entirely outside of buildings during the hour of the pole shift, and in a low trench, is the safest place. For areas such as Germany where the foothills of the Alps descend into lowland, the only safety difference is that the lowlands will also experience tidal sloshing. The foothills are safer, and there is no line of safety to be drawn where less trauma from the earthquakes will be experienced.
Ice has been melting around the globe at a very fast rate. But when the pole shift happens there will still be a vast amount of icebergs in the oceans and at the poles. These bergs are huge, the size of entire states. There is no doubt that they will plow deep into the land, scaring it for many miles as the waters of the oceans spill over the inhabited cities. Picture a glass of water with ice cubes tipping over. The cubes really fly across the room! So I am wondering will the Zetas step in and stop the icebergs from ripping across the land? Or will the huge bergs actually stay in the oceans away from land?
Icebergs will of course be in the water, and due to the earthquakes chunks of ice may loosen thus producing more icebergs near the poles or near the point where glaciers empty into the sea. And as icebergs are lighter than the seawater, and float atop the water, they might arrive inland during a large tidal slosh. They would likewise arrive as rapidly as the water is moving, as long as they did not catch at the bottom, and snag. Thus, they would either float back out to sea, being lighter than the tide that brought them in, or snag and provide nearby suvivors with clean drinking water for some time.
Any comment on the rumor regarding the resignation of chief justice roberts? As he is a Bush one team member is he now getting pressure to leave the bench? [and from another] Chief Justice Roberts Not Stepping Down Despite Report [Mar 4] _URL_ Chief Justice John Roberts is not stepping down from the Supreme Court, despite a celebrity gossip report, a source very close to Roberts told Fox News. RadarOnline.com reported Thursday that Roberts, 55, would be resigning for personal reasons. But the source said the report is "completely untrue." There is "no medical issue, no issue at all," the source said, adding that there is not even a 1 percent chance that Roberts is considering resignation. RadarOnline.com later published an update saying that Roberts will be staying on the bench.
Where there is smoke, there is fire. High profile targets have been getting very nervous about the coming Earth changes, wanting to be out of range. As chief on the Supreme Court, he stands out, and his location known as he sits on the court. There has been discussion on what the reason might be, for his resignation, and health reasons are the most compelling. What else would he say, that he wants to spend more time with his family? Since doctor/patient records are highly confidential, this is also a safe excuse.
The Zetas have stated many times that financial and economic systems will continue to erode and slowly collapse until the shift. If we take this prediction as a factual given per the Zetas why is there no appetite or critical mass for countries to print their own debt free money to spend for needed things - infrastructure, health care,education, industry, even PX preparations? I take it as factual that storms, earthquakes and the like will indeed damage economies worldwide. But there is still significant unused capacity in every economy now in the form of unemployed or under employed workers that could be used to repair damage, prepare for PX under the guise of "new deal" type work projects, regenerate industry, focus on solar or wind that will help after the shift, etc. All that is lacking is "money" to facilitate their ability to usefully apply themselves in many ways. Governments should be able to print their own money (as has been successfully done in the past) instead of borrowing it from banks. Money is just a construct to facilitate modern societies and the right to issue it should belong to citizens via their governments, not private bankers that charge us for using what they create for free. If the shift will be upon us in 6 months this is indeed a moot point but if it will not be upon us until 6 years it becomes very relevant to properly utilize and employ the citizens of the world. Given that the Zetas continue to state 6 months, 6 years or anything in between or even outside of this range is possible from a time line perspective it seems to me that much could be gained by governments empowering their citizens and issuing their own debt free currencies to facilitate full employment and economic productivity? Are we collectively just too deeply ensnared in the bankers 300 year old trap to break free? All it really takes is collective awareness. This would seem to be a very STO type step to me.
Of course, if the populace were to be informed of what is coming, this would be a very logical step! Everyone prepare! Everyone assigned to large community farms with earthquake resistant housing! All the former accountants and lawyers into the greenhouse to raise young plants for the spring planting! All the former beauty queens to the treddle sewing machines, to learn how to mend clothes! Any laggards or those in prisons to be assigned to chain gangs digging trenches! Does this sound like something the majority of the populace would go along with? Not those who find themselves today at what they consider a better standard of living, and this would be the vast majority of the populace in industrialized countries. But this is beside the point, as first the populace must be informed about what is coming, and the cover-up, as we have explained, is alive and well. The establishment is run by powerful men and women, wealthy or politically powerful, or those controlling organized religion, and they do not want their perch disrupted by a rowdy populace making demands. Thus, a semblance of normalcy is maintained, less the populace suspect!
Due to the tearing of the Atlantic will a tsunami hit Western Europe and the UK/Ireland prior to the pole shift or will it occur during the hour of the poleshift itself?
Both. As the holographic demonstration that Nancy attended last November, and reported upon, states: when the Atlantic tears significantly, water will rush into the void, and then backwash. Due to the motion of the Gulf Stream, this splash will turn toward Europe, as we have explained, to a possible tidal wave up to 200-300 feet high.
I noticed the next tendency. Great territories of Nothern America, Europe and Russia lie in the northern hemisphere. Here the battle for souls was won by STO aliens, here we see developed democratic countries and generally not so high density of population. So it seems there are more of STO people here and less of those with STS and unsparked souls. And these regions will less suffer from the PS. On the other hand, great territories of Central America, Brazil, South Asia and Indonesia lie in the Southern hemisphere. Here the battle of souls was not so brilliantly won by STO aliens, here we see poorer and not so democratic countries with many social problems and generally high density of population. So it seems there are not so many of STO people here and rather many of those with STS and unsparked souls. And these regions will more suffer from the PS. So was it planned that before the PS nations and countries would be set in a way those with STS and unsparked souls would be "struck a blow" more during the earth changes?
Before you proceed too far with your theory, consider that Russia will be almost entirely under water, except for the thin spine of the Urals. Where are those people to flee to? They must cross all of Russia and northern Europe including Finland, which will likewise be under water, to seek refuge in Sweden. Or perhaps go equally far east or south, and all within a 2 years period after the pole shift when roads and rail lines will be torn apart, and air travel not possible because of dashed planes and lack of fuel. North America will rip apart, along the New Madrid fault line, with the highly populated East Coast pulled under the waves at

The lark – a small diurnal songbird – rises early and is active during the day, whereas the owl – a large nocturnal bird – is active at night.
Psychology Today has documented a recent study on chronotypes – whether a person is a morning person (up with the lark) or a late night person (to bed with the owl) and who they attract as partners.
Many studies have been previously conducted on personality traits, but there has been limited studies on chronotypes. Chronotypical behaviour is a preference for rising early or going to bed late. Morning people are called larks (and they reach peak performance early in the day) and late night people are called owls (who perform well in the afternoon or evening).
However, there is a continuum, with most people clustering around the middle – a neutral chronotype.
Sometimes work dictates whether people are early risers or late sleepers, according to shift-work or profession.
Polish psychologist Paulina Jocz and her colleagues at the University of Warsaw conducted the study on chronotypes and who they attract. They recruited 91 couples (182 people) who had been together for at least 6 months.
The study showed that there is a biological component to chronotypes, but chronotypes change with age – young children tend to be larks, and shift to become owls as adults, and back to larks in later adulthood.
The study also showed a gender difference, with more females tending to be larks and more males tending to be owls.
Overall, the study found that health outcomes were better for larks than for owls. Larks had fewer health issues, less incidences of depression, and reported higher levels of subjective well-being.
Larks, morning people, tended to marry larks, whereas owls, night people, tended to marry owls.
There were no differences in the number of happy versus unhappy couples between the participants, even if larks married owls – a happy couple is a happy couple whether their chronotypes are the same or different.

Summary: Communication in automation, including networking
Nicholas Kottenstette and Panos J. Antsaklis1
Department of Electrical Engineering
University of Notre Dame
Notre Dame, IN 46556 USA
Abstract -- An introduction to the fundamental issues and limitations of communication and networking in automation is given. Digital communication fundamentals are
reviewed and networked control systems together with teleoperation are discussed.
Issues in both wired and wireless networks are presented.
1.1 Why communication is necessary in automated systems
Automated systems use local control systems that utilize sensor information in feedback loops, process this information and send it as control commands to actuators
to be implemented. Such closed loop feedback control is necessary, because of the
uncertainties in the knowledge of the process and in the environmental conditions.
Feedback control systems rely heavily on the ability to receive sensor information
and send commands using wired or wireless communications.
In automated systems there is control supervision, and also health and safety

text: Bland County was formed in 1861 from portions of Giles, Tazewell, and Wythe Counties. The people of the area had become dissatisfied with the distance to the various county seats. The rough mountain trails did not lend themselves to the quick and pleasant conduct of necessary legal affairs. There was also great dissatisfaction with taxes paid for the benefit of those far removed from the rugged mountains and valleys of Bland. Thus an act to establish the County of Bland passed the General Assembly of the State of Virginia on March 30, 1861.The county was named after Richard Bland, a leader of Colonial Virginia whose arguments laid the intellectual foundation for freedom and independence from the mother country.

To review measuring and comparing length, we took our math lesson out to the school garden. Using pop cubes, the students took turns estimating and then measuring the various heights of plants. They compared the pop cube lengths to one another to determine which plant was the longest and which was the shortest. While we were in the garden we reviewed the parts of the plants and how bugs and plants are interdependent upon one another.

[ACG44-P02] Preliminary design study of airborne phased array weather radar
Keywords:aircraft observation, radar
For weather radar, the phased array technology is progressing due to recent improvements in solid-state power amplifiers and advances in signal processing technology. The advantage of the phased array radar is electronically scanning the antenna, and this type of radar is also possible to reduce the size of the transmitter by using the solid state power amplifier. Therefore, this radar is suitable for mounting on aircraft.
In this report, preliminary study of airborne phased array weather radar assumed to be installed in jet aircraft (e.g. MRJ, G - II etc.) aiming for typhoon observation. In the study, we first set requirements such as 3-D observation and wind observation in typhoon and constraint conditions as aircraft set-up, then we can examine the feasibility of meeting the requirements.
Considering that target is typhoons, the observation range is several tens of kilometers to several hundreds of kilometers in horizontal direction and near the ground to an altitude of more than ten kilometers in vertical. In the case of typhoons, it is required to observe the wall cloud surrounding the eye. Also, due to the performance of the aircraft, the flight altitude is about 12-13 km at the maximum, sometimes it is necessary to fly avoiding wall clouds reaching dozens of kilometers. Also, since the horizontal wind speed is the maximum in the low altitude near the wall cloud, the aircraft should observe from the high altitude outside the wall cloud. Furthermore, since the size of the antenna is limited due to attachment to the aircraft, it is about several tens of centimeters when it is attached to a pod, for example. Also, assuming that it is about 1 m when attaching it to the fuselage of the aircraft.
Based on these conditions and the current radar technology, the basic specification was determined as follows: frequency is X-band or Ku-band, observation range is 30 km to 60 km, transmission power is about 400 W, and dual polarization is used. Although the radar can measure the velocity in the line of sight direction using the Doppler effect, movement of the aircraft is utilized with the forward and backward beams to measure the wind field. From the demands of 3-D observation and wind speed observation, it is necessary that the scanning angle is at least ± 20 degrees.
Considering the efficient observation taking the advantages of phased array technology, it is possible to observe two Doppler velocities with one antenna by switching beams between forward and backward direction. The beam direction is ± 30 degrees with respect to the direction orthogonal to the nose direction in this study.
Antenna scanning is also necessary for 3-D observations. For example, when conducting 3-D observation below the altitude of an aircraft, it is necessary to direct the antenna downward by 45 degrees and perform scanning of ± 45 degrees.
One-dimensional phased array observation is conceivable as a method that can be realized by the existing technology. In that case, two radars assign to forward and backward beams are necessarily.
Assuming that the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of the radar is 2000 to 4000 Hz based on the observation range (30 to 60 km) and the number of pulse integration is 32, 0.9 seconds is required to cover the scanning range of 90 degrees assuming the elevational interval corresponds to the beam width. The observable sensitivity is less 20 dBZ.

What fuse controls the fuel pump?
Replacing Fuel Pump Fuse
Most fuel pumps will run a 15 (Blue) 20 (Yellow) or 25 (Clear) amp fuse. Using a fuse that's too small will cause the fuse to blow again. This is a normal condition as the fuse isn't rated for the higher amps of a fuel pump circuit.
Why am I not getting power to my fuel pump?
If you there is no power to the fuel pump or the relay, then there may be a possible electrical issue with the vehicle. … If there is an issue with the switch or the circuit, perhaps a wiring problem, then power to the fuel system may be cut off.
Why is my fuel pump not pumping?
A voltage drop is often due to a bad battery or improperly-installed wires. If the fuel lines are cracked or clogged, the fuel pressure will drop before it reaches the engine. … In most cars, the fuel pump is turned on by a fuel pump relay. If the relay goes bad, it will not induce the pump to start functioning.
Will a fuel pump work without a relay?
Without the fuel pump relay, you won't even be able to drive your vehicle. The fuel pump relay allows the fuel pump to power up when you turn on your vehicle, and allows it to shut down when you turn the ignition off.

READ: How Can I Unlock My Car?
How do I know if my fuel pump has power?
How do you reset a fuel pump relay?
How to Reset a Fuel Pump Shut Off Switch
 1. Locate your car's inertial trigger or airbag control module. …
 2. Push the button on the inertial switch; it should be clearly marked as the fuel pump reset, and may be in a contrasting color to the case.
Where does the fuel pump get its power from?
The basic way your modern electrical fuel pump works is by utilizing a DC motor in the pump assembly which draws in the fuel sitting in your gas tank. From there, it sends it up the fuel line and into the fuel rail where it can be injected into a cylinder. It then mixes with air and a spark to create combustion.
What stops a fuel pump from working?
Fuel contamination: Fuel is jeopardized from corrosion, debris and moisture, which can all bring visible contaminants into the tank. Clogged strainers/filters: The aforementioned contaminants eventually clog critical components including strainers, filters and the fuel pump itself.
How do you bypass a fuel pump relay?
Can a bad fuel pump relay drain battery?
If the relay has an internal short it may keep power fed to the ignition and fuel system, even when ignition cylinder is in another position, or the key is removed. This will cause the fuel pump and ignition components to remain powered on, drawing current, at all times, which will eventually lead to a dead battery.

What is a Well Fed Ohana?
A Well Fed Ohana (family) eats from the aina (living earth) they have been given to malama (nurture/take care of).
This roots us in the life of the land and gives us physical vitality and spiritual connection with the Creator and the creation.
A Well Fed Ohana fears not
When the price of food goes up or becomes scarce or even cut-off by natural and human disasters the Well Fed Ohana can feed itself. This is the essence of Food Sovereignity.
Eating a diet based on the food grown by Hawaiian's for centuries preserves the health of the ohana. Studies have shown that this diet reduces such diseases as diabetes, stroke and heart attack.
A Well Fed Ohana eats from the aina
Food that an ohana plants, tends , harvests and eats connects us to the living earth, the aina.
This is not farming for the community - the role of the mahi'ai - it is growing with and for the ohana - yet when many ohana's grow their own food they naturally share from the abundance that springs from the aina and this strengthens the whole community.

text: The paper "Conversations about Modern Art" analyzes modern art, poetry and also "Starry night", the painting of Vincent van Gogh. The use of spiral lines in his painting also depicts a slow cool night in the small town. The orange illuminating color of the moon creates a picture of peace. The white colors of the stars also surround the little town creating a peaceful horizon. The swirling wave motion and curling nature of the moon also creates a cool horizon as can be seen in the painting. The slow motion movement of the trees surrounding the houses in the town also proves a peaceful environment. On the, stands a massive dark structure resembling a tall tree. Gogh brings this image out of seclusion from the rest of the town and shows stability in the town. Gogh in the painting represents a peaceful emotion. This is by use of stars and the fact that people are missing in the streets or in the town. By use of spiral and curly lines in his painting, various contrasts in colors also create a good balance of peace in the representation. The painting represents a good aspect of modernism. The age of the painting depicts an age where artists created modern artistic work moving away from neoclassicism. The picture of well-organized houses in a small town represents modernity. The church represented in the drawing at the centre of the houses also shows a modern way of life. The houses also show new forms of buildings a real difference from the ancient kind of buildings in that age.

Audio: Queensland Art Gallery curator of Pacific art Ruth McDougall talks about the 'Sugar' exhibition. (ABC Rural)
The earliest days of the sugar industry and its dependence on workers, willing and unwilling, from the Pacific are on show in Brisbane.
Postcards, photographs, music and recorded anecdotes have been pulled together to mark 150 years of Australian South Sea Islander contributions to Queensland.
Ruth McDougall is the Queensland Art Gallery's curator of Pacific art and says some of the postcards in the collection date from the 1870s.
"These were lithographs majorly produced for sending overseas to really promote Queensland as a destination for investors and sugar was a major part of that promotion exercise.
"And you see from those very early images that the South Sea Islanders are right in there, that they are part of the story of sugar from the beginning."
The workers came from islands in Melanesia, including Vanuatu and the Solomons, and from Polynesian and Micronesian islands such as Samoa, Tuvalu and Kiribati.
Ms McDougall says some were contracted to work in Australia but most, including young children, were kidnapped.
"The term that South Sea Islanders use is 'blackbirding'.
"Quite often they were enticed from the beach onto the ships and when they arrived they were adopted and worked as domestics or were taken out to cattle stations to work as well."
Frank Robert Boah, known as Bobby, from Mackay features in one of the recordings which forms part of the exhibition.
He's visited the village where his grandfather was born and heard how he was taken from a reef.
"The ones that were close to shore, they ran away up into the scrub or the forest.
"But me grandfather was too far out and they caught him.
"There's a lot of people don't know, they think we're Aboriginals because of course we're dark.
"But we've got a different history altogether."
Ms McDougall says after Federation in 1901, and the start of the White Australia Policy, all bar 1600 of the South Sea Islanders were deported.
The exhibition called 'Sugar' is running until October 7 in Brisbane.

Driven by technology
QolorTech has a great deal of know-how when it comes to pigments and dispersion technology. This know-how is harnessed to provide technical support in the following areas:
- coloristics of primary polymers and recycled products
- quality control and standardisation
Much of this technical expertise is developed and applied in the analytical lab and the applications lab.
In the analytical lab use is made of the following:
- a fully automated device for establishing the MFI of thermoplastics;
- infrared analysers for determining moisture levels;
- Colibri equipment for colour measurement;
- DSC and TGA for measuring the thermal properties of polymers;
- microscopics for visual inspection;
- FTIR for ascertaining the composition, levels and purities of additives as part of the quality control process.
- Bandol wheel for simulating outdoor conditions so that testing of plastics with specific additives can be done more speedily with respect to their weather resistance.
The applications laboratory houses various machines which enable testing of the masterbatch's behaviour in production conditions. These include:
- three 2-roll mills and two presses;
- two injection moulding machines;
- two blown-film extruders;
- four twin-screw and one single-screw extruder.

Eighteen conservators and scientists gathered at the Getty Center from 22-26 October 2012 to work together in research teams to prepare and test samples of historic lacquer from their own collections and present their analytical findings on the final day.
The five-day workshop provided instruction in two analytical procedures and a precision sampling technique and struck a balance between instruction, hands-on application to samples from museum collections, and directed group discussions.
The overall objectives of the workshop were:
- to demonstrate a particular analytical protocol and the level of information that can be gathered using these approaches and methods
- to provide participants with the tools necessary to make use of these approaches and methods, such as the Py-GC/MS marker compound database and an Excel evaluation form
- to highlight the benefits that collaboration between scientists and conservators can provide
- to identify pressing analytical and conservation issues and problems in the field, and priorities for future research
Areas of instruction during the workshop included:
- Precision sample collection of discrete layers within a lacquer sample.
- Visible and fluorescent light microscopic examination of chemically-stained lacquer cross-sections, which provides visual, layer-specific information for a number of organic materials when present in significant concentration.
- Pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with thermally-assisted hydrolysis and methylation (THM-Py-GC/MS), a versatile method with excellent limits of detection.
- A systematic protocol for data analysis and interpretation based on GC/MS quantitative analysis software and a specialized Excel worksheet and marker compound database developed at the GCI, which permits detection of a broad range of compounds even when present at trace levels.
In the GCI's Characterization of Asian and European Lacquers project, development of a THM-Py-GC/MS procedure to study Asian and European lacquered objects led to surprising discoveries about the range of materials used by lacquer artists.
Michael Schilling: Senior Scientist and head of Organic Materials Research at the GCI, specializing in GC/MS and thermal analysis techniques.
Arlen Heginbotham: Associate Conservator of Decorative Arts and Sculpture at the J. Paul Getty Museum, specializing in the technical examination of furniture.
Nanke Schellmann: Furniture and Decorative Objects Conservator and Conservation Scientist, specializing in the characterization and treatment of degraded decorative surfaces.

At Alabama Chanin, we believe DIY projects are integral to sharing creativity and promoting sustainable heirloom-worthy pieces. Bibliocraft: A Modern Crafter's Guide to Using Library Resources to Jumpstart Creative Projects is a great guide to DIY crafts that utilize a range of library resources for inspiration. Written by rare book librarian Jessica Pigza, this book contains over 20 unique projects and crafts for your home, including the Cyanotype Throw, designed by the Alabama Chanin team.
Pigza walks readers through different types of libraries, collections, and other resources that can foster motivation and provide ideas for the curious and creative. The book shows you how to find the right library for you and also provides information on digital libraries and an array of library catalogs. To get you started on your project, there are lists of recommended library collections from general visual resources to performing arts and film. The book is an informative and inspiring guide for learning about new resources and turning to libraries for discovery. There is something different and special about holding an actual, physical book in your hand that continues to draw me toward libraries. As a designer I find escape within library walls, and as a business owner I find critical information that has helped me grow into who I am as an entrepreneur.
At Alabama Chanin, we have often looked to nature for stencil inspirations. Many of the first stencils I designed when I started embellishing recycled T-shirts were of bugs and animals—what I felt were constant surroundings when I made my return home to Alabama from New York over a decade ago.
Our newest DIY Men's Kit features the Scorpion stencil, designed by Butch Anthony, on a yoked T-shirt. The yoke cut of the T-shirt helps it stand apart from the standard tee. The design and style fit easily into any man's wardrobe.
Each month, we highlight one of our favorite embroidery techniques through our Swatch of the Month Club. As a companion to that monthly series, we have also put together a selection of projects you can create with your completed swatches. This month, we have created a beaded clutch bag, which you will need one finished swatch to complete. We created our bag using May's beaded ruffle swatch.
Supplies for May's Swatch of the Month (or your favorite swatch of choice)
1 – 10" x 10" 100% organic medium-weight cotton jersey panel, unembellished, for pocket
1 – 10" x 1 1/4" strip cotton jersey (cut across the grain), for rib binding
Basic sewing supplies: fabric scissors, rotary cutter, cutting mat, ruler, tailor's chalk, needles, thread, pins.
Complete your Swatch of the Month according to the instructions – or create a swatch using your own personal design choice. Refer to Alabama Studio Sewing + Design as a resource, if you need additional guidance.
One of our Mother's Day Gift Guide selections, the DIY Magdalena Shawl is versatile in design and function. The Magdalena stencil is a bold design that dresses up casual wear. A shawl is a simple way to adjust to the changes in weather that tend to occur on a whim this time of year and acts as a perfect canvas to display the Magdalena design.
I like to keep a variety of shawls on hand for chilly mornings and to use as a pillow or blanket on long airplane or car rides. Depending on how you wear your shawl, it is possible that both the front and the back may be visible, showing off the intricate stitches and handwork used to finish it.
The Swatch of the Month for May demonstrates our beaded ruffle stripe technique. This is a variation of our random ruffle technique, featured in Alabama Studio Sewing + Design. You can add several rows of ruffles for a more elaborate textural design or use just one if you want to highlight the technique itself.
Detailed instructions on how to apply ruffles can be found on pages 107-108 in Alabama Studio Sewing + Design. To add ruffles to your swatch, you will need to use tailor's chalk to draw a line (or several lines) on the right side of your top layer fabric. This will be your guide for where to add your ruffles.
To make a ruffle stripe, cut a 1"-wide strip of cotton jersey, sew with a basting stitch down the middle of the strip, then pull on the ends of the basting thread to ruffle, or gather, the strip. Attach the ruffled stripes to your double-layer fabric swatch by first basting them down (along your chalked line) with an all-purpose thread and then securing them with a stretch stitch or another decorative stitch down the center of the ruffle. We used a zigzag chain stitch on our version of the swatch.
For our swatch, we have opted to add chop beads to the stitches securing the ruffle to the base fabric. The beading adds a bit of sparkle, dimension, and detail.
The hi-resolution photograph above of our swatch with the random ruffle, for use as your computer desktop background, is available for download from our Resources page.
Our classic Short Skirt is great for just about every occasion, including Mother's Day. Whether you arrange an outing to church, a restaurant, or just a walk in the park, you can make Mom happy by making her something she'll love.
Currently featured as part of our Mother's Day Gift Guide, the DIY Check Skirt is the only DIY Kit pattern we currently feature using our Short Fitted Skirt pattern from Alabama Studio Sewing + Design.
This version of the skirt is made using the reverse appliqué technique and is embellished with beaded eyelet details. Instructions for the Short Skirt can be found on pages 60 – 61 of Alabama Studio Sewing + Design. When ordering, please specify your desired top layer and thread color.
Today, April 24, is the one-year anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It has also been declared Fashion Revolution Day—celebrating best practices in the fashion industry and raising awareness of the true cost of fast fashion.
In homage to the anniversary, we etched wax candles with our Anna's Garden and Bloomers stencil designs—candles we will light tonight in honor of the lives lost.
Fashion Revolution Day is asking: Who made your clothes? Not just where they were manufactured…but who spun the threads? Who sewed them together? Who grew the cotton? What you do with your discoveries is up to you.
The Fashion Revolution movement is encouraging everyone to wear clothes inside out today—tags showing—to join the conversation on fast fashion and creating a more sustainable future.
Mother's Day will be upon us soon, and we hope that you are all planning a way to make it a special day. Our freelance editor, Sara, says that her father always got worked up over finding her mother just the right gift. Inevitably, this stress would result in a frantic, last minute decision that wasn't necessarily the right choice. She says that they still laugh about the year he bought her mother a calculator. (And he still insists that she said she wanted one…) Other years, her father did a much better job; Sara remembers once planting a dogwood tree just outside her mother's kitchen window.
We appreciate that mothers come in all forms, shapes, and sizes, so this DIY Check Tied Wrap featuring our 2014 Stencil of the Year is a perfect fit for your mother, or grandmother, daughter, or friend. In the morning sunlight, it almost looks like dogwood flowers blooming.
We are offering this DIY Kit as part of our Mother's Day Gift Guide. Make something for mom – or give her something she will enjoy making for herself.
In service to everyone who showed such great response to our Swatch of the Month, we are featuring a series of DIY projects that you can create with your completed swatch(es). This month's project is a book cover adapted to fit the size of our Studio Books. It requires one swatch and four blank panels of fabric to complete. Make your own Studio Book cover, or adapt the size to fit your favorite book.
We chose to use this month's appliqué swatch for the main portion of our book cover. The additional four panels were left unembellished in order to highlight the intricate Anna's Garden design.
The Swatch of the Month for April allows you the opportunity to experiment with a basic, traditional appliqué technique in our Anna's Garden stencil design. Appliqué is a way of "applying" one fabric on top of another. We use appliqué for many reasons – to add color, texture, dimension, and more elaborate design work to a piece. You can use any number of stitches to appliqué your top design to the bottom fabric. Here, we demonstrate the most common way that we add an appliquéd element to a base fabric: a simple parallel whipstitch.
Detailed instructions on appliqué techniques can be found in Alabama Studio Sewing + Design. Match up each appliqué shape with its correct position as you cut it to avoid creating a complicated puzzle for yourself. Take care to position your appliqué pieces precisely by pinning each cut shape of the stenciled design into place. Then, stitch each appliqué shape to your fabric using a parallel whipstitch, which will attach your appliqué pieces securely.
The hi-resolution photograph of our appliqué swatch, for use as your computer desktop background, is available for download from our Resources page.

Teaching Reading In Clarksburg, W.Va.
So far this year 21 tutors — under the aegis of Literacy Volunteers of Harrison County — have helped 80 students in and around Clarksburg and Harrison County.
"Many of the adults we tutor have lost their jobs, and now find themselves ill-equipped to find employment in today's job market," says Director Kim Payne. "Most of them are working toward a GED, but many of them have high school diplomas. However, the workplace has changed over the years, and now most jobs require not only higher reading and math levels, but computer skills as well."
So LVHC teaches computer skills, too.


text: Gelatin has many superior biological properties and can absorb a large volume of water to form hydrogels, making it a promising material for skin wound care. In this study, gel membranes were prepared based on gelatin and added with different amounts of the synthesized carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (P(NI-co-AA)) copolymer for providing antibacterial and thermo-responsive properties, respectively. The synthesized CMCS had a degree of carboxymethyl substitution at 0.77 and the P(NI-co-AA) had an AA content of 5.7 mol %. Both CMCS and P(NI-co-AA) had carboxylate groups that could further provide ionic-crosslinking sites for the membranes. Though the P(NI-co-AA) copolymer had a higher phase transition temperature than poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) owing to its hydrophilic carboxylate groups, the prepared gelatin/CMCS/P(NI-co-AA) membranes had similar phase transition temperatures to the PNIPAAm at around 30.5 − 32.4 °C because of ionic crosslinking. Moreover, the equilibrium swelling ratio and water vapor transmission rate of the gel membranes were in the range of 769 − 1226% and 1678 − 2496 g/m2- day, respectively. These membranes could promote cell proliferation of human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and mouse fibroblasts (L-929), indicating they were non-toxic to the cells. They also had antimicrobial properties against S. aureus and E. coli, where the antibacterial efficacy increased with increasing the CMCS content. These hydrogel membranes had good biocompatibility, suitable swelling ratio and water vapor transmission rate, antibacterial and thermo-responsive properties. Therefore, they have potential to be applied as functional wound dressing material.

If an increasing process $X_t$ has a known Laplace transform $\mathbb{E} e^{-s X_t} = m_t(s)$, define its hitting time $\tau$ to some level $B$ to be $$ \tau = \inf\{ u > 0 : X_u \geq B \}. $$ Can we express the Laplace transform (or its CDF) of $\tau$ in terms of $m$?
In particular, I am interested in the hitting time of the integrated CIR process $$ X_t = \int_0^t V_s \ ds $$ where $$ dV_t = (\alpha V_t + \beta) dt + \gamma \sqrt{V_t} dW_t. $$ The Laplace transform of $X_t$ is known in closed-form in this case, and given by $$ m_t(s) = \mathbb{E} e^{-s X_t} = \left( \frac{e^{-\alpha t/2}}{\cosh(Pt/2)-\frac{\alpha}{P}\sinh(Pt/2)} \right)^{2\beta/\gamma^2} \exp\left(-\frac{s V_0}{P} \frac{2 \sinh(Pt/2)}{\cosh(Pt/2)-\frac{\alpha}{P} \sinh(Pt/2)}\right) $$ where $P = \sqrt{\alpha^2 + 2 \gamma^2 s}$.

PDO-eS2CNNs: Partial Differential Operator Based Equivariant Spherical CNNs
Keywords:(Deep) Neural Network Algorithms, Learning with Manifolds, Representation Learning, Classification and Regression
AbstractSpherical signals exist in many applications, e.g., planetary data, LiDAR scans and digitalization of 3D objects, calling for models that can process spherical data effectively. It does not perform well when simply projecting spherical data into the 2D plane and then using planar convolution neural networks (CNNs), because of the distortion from projection and ineffective translation equivariance. Actually, good principles of designing spherical CNNs are avoiding distortions and converting the shift equivariance property in planar CNNs to rotation equivariance in the spherical domain. In this work, we use partial differential operators (PDOs) to design a spherical equivariant CNN, PDO-eS2CNN, which is exactly rotation equivariant in the continuous domain. We then discretize PDO-eS2CNNs, and analyze the equivariance error resulted from discretization. This is the first time that the equivariance error is theoretically analyzed in the spherical domain. In experiments, PDO-eS2CNNs show greater parameter efficiency and outperform other spherical CNNs significantly on several tasks.

The University of St. Thomas' booth is a popular destination for many fair-goers as it is where one can obtain the coveted purple bag. UST has been known for its giveaways since 2000, ranging from bracelets and visors to bandanas. The much-loved purple bag first showed up in 2005. Since then, more that half a million bags have been given away, including 30,000 for the 2014 State Fair. (Current count, 565,000.) People wait in line to obtain this treasured bag and even ask for more than one, but there are rules, pre-set distribution times, and trained volunteers who make sure to follow along.
UST alumnus Brad Ribar '82, started selling corn at the State Fair in 1985. Each year, he clears $100,000 in sales, going through 190,000 ears of corn during the 12 day run of the fair.
With fair season now upon us, it's time for some trivia, courtesy of the Minnesota State Fair:
- During a typical year, how many gallons of milk are served at the American Dairy Association's all-you-can-drink concession?
- When was the pronto pup introduced at the State Fair?
- What is the most popular flavor of pies entered in the creative activities baked goods category?
- Approximately, how many rolls of toilet paper are used during the fair?
- On average, what's the total number of corn dogs typically consumed by fair visitors each year?
- In acres, how large is the fairgrounds?
- Which fair food contains the most calories?
- 20,000 gallons
- 22,000 rolls
- 320 acres

Improve PL/SQL HTTP Verb Support
The PL/SQL, mod_plsql web stack offers HEAD, GET, and POST out of the box. But let's face it, these three verbs aren't enough to work with. Is it possible to perform standard CRUD ops and write a rich web application with just GET and POST? Yes, but doing so does not capitalize on the tools available to you through standard HTTP, nor is it particularly amenable to application end-point organization.
Without needing to re-configure mod_plsql you can game the system. Consider the following PL/SQL package:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PLSQL_DEMO AS
 PROCEDURE print_verb (verb in varchar2 default 'POST');
END PLSQL_DEMO;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY PLSQL_DEMO AS
 PROCEDURE print_verb (verb in varchar2 default 'POST') IS
 v_request_verb varchar2(10) := owa_util.get_cgi_env('REQUEST_METHOD');
 BEGIN
 if (v_request_verb = 'POST') then
 v_request_verb := upper(verb);
 end if;
 htp.p(v_request_verb);
 END print_verb;
END PLSQL_DEMO;
/
Let's gather the instructive features of this example:
Interacting with this functionality is simple. We could implement a simple HTML form with a hidden input declaring verb as PUT (or whatever else).
<form action="plsql_demo.print_verb" method="POST">;
 <input type="hidden" name="verb" value="PUT" />;
</form>
Great, but how do you programmatically interact with this functionality without having to mess about with pre-existing coded HTML? That's mostly up to you, but I'll share how I'd handle a PUT form.
###Interacting with the Request Handler
Adding the aforementioned hidden inputs blurs the separation of layers that is prudent in web application development. If your web stack were to ever change and you needed to reuse your markup templates, you might be stuck with redundant and sloppy idioms. So, we'll slightly modify the example HTML form to make it more semantic and offload dealing with gateway shortcomings to the script layer.
<form action="plsql_demo.print_verb" method="PUT">
 <!-- Insert form fields here. -->
</form>
You can then include the following script to intercept native form submissions and inject the appropriate parameters:
$(document).ready(function() {
 $(document).on('submit', 'form', function(e) {
 var method, $verb, $this = $(this);
 // Grab the form's method.
 method = $this.attr('method');
 // Is the method a GET or a POST?
 // If so, don't bother taking any action.
 if (!/^(GET|POST)$/i.test(method)) {
 // Grab the input named "verb" from the form.
 $verb = $this.find('input[name="verb"]')
 // If the input doesn't already exist then insert it.
 if ($verb.length === 0) {
 $this.append('<input type="hidden" name="verb" />');
 }
 // Set the value of the verb input.
 $verb.val(method);
 // Set the form submission action to POST.
 // This will help with old browser compatibility issues.
 $this.attr('method', 'POST');
 }
 });
});
Note that the entire code snippet is included in a $(document).ready() method call. This is standard practice as it creates a scope for the page specific code and ensures that the DOM is initialized before any script code is executed. If you already have a $(document).ready(), you can add the .on() call inside of it if you'd prefer.
If there's a mission-critical input already named "verb" in any form, the name of this input should be changed in the PL/SQL and JavaScript code. This would prevent your actual "verb" input from being subtly replaced by our programmatic "verb" value. Any valid PL/SQL variable name works fine.
This example doesn't cover AJAX verb adjustment, but the same principles apply. The request should be modified with a spoofed verb parameter and then sent to the server just like any other AJAX request. The additional verb can either be appended to the query string in the post URL or included in the jQuery data object argument.

A few days ago, I wrote up a challenge – to count the number of sets a given set is contained in.
In the comments, I touched briefly on the original problem from which the challenge was created, and I'll describe it in more depth here.
In the problem, I am given an initial group of sets, and then an endless 'stream of sets'. For each of the sets in the stream, I have to measure its uniqueness. relative to the initial group of sets. A set that is contained in only one set from the initial group is very unique, one that is contained in ten – not so much.
So how to solve this problem? My original solution is somewhat akin to the classic "lion-in-the-desert" problem, but more like the "blood test" story. I didn't find a link to the story, so I'll give it as I remember it.
In an army somewhere, it was discovered that at least one of the soldiers was sick and so had to be put in isolation until he heals. It is only possible to check for the disease via a blood test, but tests are expensive, and they didn't want to test all of the soldiers. What did they do?
They took enough blood from each soldier. Now, from each sample they took a little bit, and divided the samples into two groups. They mixed together the samples of each group, and tested the mixed sample. If the sample was positive – they repeated the process for the blood samples of all the soldiers in the matching group.
Now my solution is clear: let's build a tree of set unions. At bottom level will be the union of couples of sets. At the next level, unions of couples of couples of sets. So on, until we end up with just two sets, or even just one – if we are not sure the set is contained in any of the initial sets.
Testing is just like in the story. We'll start at the two biggest unions, and work our way down. There is an optimization though – if a set appears more than say, 10 times, it's not very unique, and its score is zeroed. In that case, we don't have to go down all the way, but stop as soon as we pass the 10 "positive result" mark.
Here's the code:
class SetGroup(object): def __init__(self, set_list): cur_level = list(set_list) self.levels = while len(cur_level) > 1: self.levels.append(cur_level) cur_level = [union(couple) for couple in blocks(cur_level, 2)] self.levels.reverse() def count(self, some_set, max_appear = None): indexes = for level in self.levels: indexes = itertools.chain((2*x for x in indexes), (2*x+1 for x in indexes)) indexes = (x for x in indexes if x < len(level)) indexes = [x for x in indexes if some_set <= level[x]] if max_appear is not None and len(indexes) >= max_appear: return max_appear return len(indexes)
Here's a link to the full code.
I didn't implement this solution right away. At first, I used the naive approach, of checking against each set. Then, when it proved to be too slow, I tried implementing the solution outlined by Shenberg and Eric in the comments to the challenge. Unfortunately, their solution proved to be very slow as well. I believe it's because some elements appear in almost all of the sets, and so computing the intersection for these elements takes a long time.
Although originally I thought that my solution would suffer from some serious drawbacks (can you see what they are?), the max_appear limit removed most of the issues.
Implementing this solution was a major part of taking down the running time of the complete algorithm for the full problem I was solving from about 2 days, to about 15-20 minutes. That was one fun optimizing session :)

A Moving Mesh Adaptation Method by Optimal Transport
 - 1. Stony Brook University
 - 2. Dalian University of Technology
 - 3. Université Côte d'Azur
 - 4. Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics
Description
Optimal transportation finds the most economical way to transport one probability measure to another, and it plays an important role in geometric modeling and processing. In this paper, we propose a moving mesh method to generate adaptive meshes by optimal transport. Given an initial mesh and a scalar density function defined on the mesh domain, our method will redistribute the mesh nodes such that they are adapted to the density function. Based on the Brenier theorem, solving an optimal transportation problem is reduced to solving a Monge-Ampère equation, which is difficult to compute due to the high non-linearity. On the other hand, the optimal transportation problem is equivalent to the Alexandrov problem, which can finally induce an effective variational algorithm. Experiments show that our proposed method finds the adaptive mesh quickly and efficiently.

Photo from auction catalog.
A Newport Mercury account in 1949 provides the story of the end of the renown Glen Farm herds. The entire herd of 89 cows were dispersed in one auction for over $36,000. The herd, one of the oldest in Rhode Island, had been established in 1889 by H.A.C. Taylor and had been continued by his son Moses. Moses Taylor's wife, Edith Taylor Nicholson had continued the herd, but she made the decision to sell in 1949.
Glen Farm Guernseys were known for high quality breeding and an outstanding record for being disease free. The original stock came from the Island of Guernsey, but the Taylors continued to selectively breed and improve their herds.
Among the buyers at the auction were Francis Taylor, the grandson of Glen Farm's founder. Francis, who is listed as being from Seekonk, bought a cow (Frolic of the Glen) and a calf (Gold of the Glen). Local buyers were former Governor William H. Vanderbilt who purchased four of the better known cows for his Massachusetts farm, Hugh D. Auchincloss (Jacqueline Kennedy's stepfather), and Mervin Briggs (who had Fairholm Dairy in Portsmouth). Most of the herd went to Pennsylvania and Delaware.
The week before the cattle auction, Edith Taylor Nicholson disposed of all the Glen Farm sheep and some years before the bred horses had been dispersed as well. After the auction there was still cattle on Glen Farm. Sixty head of Angus beef cattle were still being bred in the last years of the farm.


Seal Your Air Duct Boot
Part of a properly functioning HVAC system are the air duct boots. Air duct boots, also known as HVAC boots, are what fit into the cutout area of the sheet rock or floor. The air ducts are connected to the boot, usually secured by a strong zip tie, and then the boot is placed into the cutout and then the register is attached. This cutout is usually anywhere from 1/8″ to 1/2″ larger than the boot.
So, why does this matter to you? When the cutout area is too large or the boots are not properly secured, it can cause both hot and cold air to enter the living space. This can cause the unit overwork, as it tries to regulate the set temperature. This confluent of cold and hot air causes condensation on the air duct boots and register, resulting in mold and mildew to enter the ducts and spread to your system and your home.

 1. Anger
 Anger is an emotion related to one's psychological interpretation of having been offended, wronged, or denied and a tendency to react through retaliation. Sheila Videbeck describes anger as a normal emotion that involves a strong uncomfortable and emotional response to a perceived provocation. Raymond Novaco of UC Irvine, who since 1975 has published a plethora of literature on the subject, stratified anger into three modalities: cognitive, somatic-affective, and behavioral. William DeFoore, an anger-management writer, described anger as a pressure cooker: we can only apply pressure against our anger for a certain amount of time until it explodes. Anger may have physical correlates such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Some view anger as part of the fight or flight brain response to the perceived threat of harm. Anger becomes the predominant feeling behaviorally, cognitively, and physiologically when a person makes the conscious choice to take action to immediately stop the threatening behavior of another outside force. The English term originally comes from the term anger of Old Norse language. Anger can have many physical and mental consequences.
The Roycroft Dictionary
 1. anger
 1. A violent blushing and scampering up and down of the blood upon hearing the truth about ourselves; an epileptic condition produced by the presentation of a bill that is not yet due, just due, or overdue. A sudden tumescence of the ego and a furious exaltation of verbal powers upon losing a collar-button. 2. Before election, the righteous wrath of a candidate in the presence of evils that he has invented; after election-day, his wail in the presence of the grave he did not dig. _E. g._, The devil (taking final leave of the Lord): "I am in anger with thee, Sire." The Lord: "For thee, son, 't will be a long time between heavens. So go to Hell and take thine Anger with thee."

Rutgers Professors Create Software to Assist in Facility Evacuation
Program would help large facilities develop procedures for evacuating people during a fire, bioterror attack or natural disaster
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Two Rutgers University professors are developing a computer program to help large facilities develop procedures for evacuating people during a fire, bioterror attack or natural disaster.
The software could be customized to fit any building plan. Once it detects anthrax or a fire, for example, it would provide security officials with specific steps to take, such as blocking off access to a contaminated area of a building.
"It gives them directions and guidance on how to respond to the incident," said Ali Maher, professor and chairman of the civil and environmental engineering department at Rutgers. Maher also serves as director to the federal and state-funded group called The Center for Advanced Infrastructure & Transportation.
The professors are testing their software now at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick. Their work also has caught the interest of New Jersey State Police and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Maher said.
"We're trying to develop a platform that every hospital in the nation could use, actually any place could use," said Mohsen Jafari, an industrial engineering professor at Rutgers and member of the center. "Several hospitals in the state are very interested."
Rutgers is working with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, managed by the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., and with a private firm to incorporate an anthrax detection technology in the program.
The lab, which primarily works for NASA on sending rovers to Mars, invented an anthrax "smoke" detector in 2002. Universal Detection Technology of Beverly Hills, Calif., purchased the licensing for the detectors.
"The most important thing you want to know is if you've been exposed," said Adrian Ponce, senior scientist with the lab. "The only people who died (in the 2001 anthrax attacks) were the ones who didn't know they've been exposed."
Rutgers representatives will meet with lab and Universal Detection Technology officials Thursday in California. They aim to have their software available within nine months.
Though many large-scale public facilities and high-rise buildings have evacuation plans, very few have tested them, the professors said.
"New Jersey is the primary transit hub of the Northeast. You have airports, ports, trains and the turnpike," Maher said. "You're basically the main transit corridor between Boston and Florida."
Maher said he envisions the program being used as a network in the future so several buildings on a city block could use it to evacuate in a crisis.
The Garden State's proximity to New York and its history of anthrax contamination at the Hamilton post office make it one of the nation's best test markets, said Amir Ettehadieh, director of research and development for Universal Detection Technology.


I have known for a long time that you can register an nvo as a shared object and have it run in a separate thread, but never really never paid it much attention.
In my mind a shared object was meant for background processes, so the user didn't have to wait, whilst long winded retrievals or other processing took place. But what if the process was not a database process that blocks the main thread. What if the process was mainly in the client in the main thread and it was acceptable for the user to wait as long as he or she could see the process progressing? Then all we do is setmicrohelp and set arrow to hourglass!. We might even create a little window with a progress bar and post progress to it… Trouble is; when the showing progress is competing with the real process; as soon as the user clicks anywhere to see what is happening, the whole thing goes pale and the progress window stops showing progress.
After a bit of experimenting I discovered that you can actually open a window from a shared object. This window, happily opens and is running in a different thread, is responsive and a perfect candidate for a progress window.
To open a progress window in a different thread, create and nvo with a couple of functions to set progress and messages, instantiate it using SharedObjectRegister and code it to open the progress window when it is call upon to show progress…
Example: w_main with invShared as instance variable instantiated in the Open event.
SharedObject1.PNG
Pretend process with calls to the progress window via invShared:
note that the invShared instance variable ibCancel can be interrogated between steps.

 Interesting…
 I have always made callbacks to the main thread to show progress. I like this because it is separate from the main application and all that it is busy with.
 Nice one 🙂

Microsoft Word/Word 2010 Banded Table w/ Simple Watermark
Hello and thank you for fielding my question. I am making a songbook with a watermark on each page. It seemed simple enough. The songbook consists of a three column table in word. Each page has a heading, Song Title-Artist-NUM. As you can guess, it's a karaoke songbook for our basement setup. The kids love it. We do, too. Anyway, we want a watermark hovering over the table, but a banded table always steps on the watermark. The banded rows won't allow the watermark to "come to front" or whatever it's called. I was successful by putting the desired watermark design, let's call it ENNUI--on top of the textual banded table. I will attach examples for you.
What I wish to do is make the entire document--which will be around 340 pages--with the same graphic on every page, essentially a watermark--just as in example 3. Is this possible? I'm trying to figure out how to do this without having to make and format the table, then go to each page, paste and format the photo. I've tried making a.dotx, and other stuff, but nothing quite works. Can you help me?
Very best regards,
It's a known problem that watermarks and tables don't play well together. In this instance, I don't think there is any alternative to what you're doing. A watermark is just a washed-out graphic anchored to the header and formatted as Behind Text. The only way to get any content to repeat on every page is to put it in (or anchored to) the header or footer, but, even if you format the watermark as In Front of Text, it won't be in front of the text in the document body. You'll have to decide whether having the watermark is important enough to you to justify the effort of putting it on every page. Consider also that this will hugely increase the file size.

Ask The Teacher
Do you have a martial arts question you would like to have answered?
We can't promise we have all the answers, but FightingArts.com's staff
and contributors will try to help. Just fill in the form at the bottom
of this page.
Topic: "O Sensei"
I have heard some Japanese martial arts students address their teachers
with "O Sensei," and also "Osu Sensei." Are the two
forms of address derived from the same source?
Actually the two terms are quite different. "O'Sensei" means
a venerable teacher while "Osu Sensei" is an acknowledgment,
such as, "Yes Sensei", "I understand Sensei," "Okay
Sensei", "I get it Sensei," or "Hello Sensei."
With "O'Sensei" it is a common misconception that the character
for "O" is just the alternate pronunciation for the character
"Dai," as in "Dai Sensei," which means "big Sensei."
But this is not the case. The character for "O" (in O'Sensei)
is another pronunciation for the character meaning "Okina" which
means "old man," or "venerable." An old Japanese dictionary
(gakken kanwa daijiten) says that it is a way of giving respect to an
older man. In Japan it is used to follow a name, acting as a suffix. This
is the same with such terms "san" and "Sensei." They
follow a name.
In the west, however, most people do not say a name followed by a suffix,
but instead lead with it. Thus we hear "Sensei" followed by
a name and the use of "O'Sensei." The term, however, is rarely
used. In the west it is most often associated with the founder of aikido
Morihei Ueshiba, but Ueshiba actually copied it from his teacher (daito
ryu) Sogaku Takeda.
Osu is a somewhat universal term that is commonly associated with many
traditional dojos, especially those in karate. It is a rather course sounding
word that is somewhat curt and almost abrasive to some Japanese ears outside
the martial arts and other situations. The term is also sometimes used
in the military as well as in sports activities, but probably not be used
at home or in more formal occasions.
Tadashi Nakamura's book "Karate, Technique and Spirit" explains
that "Osu" is a contraction of the phrase "Osu shinobu"
and was used in ancient times as a greeting and salutation meaning patience.
Thus, he suggests that it is an encouragement to others to persevere.

Rice University, Centre for the Study of Environment and Society (CSES), Professor Andre W. Droxler yesterday gave a lecture on the evolution of the Maldive islands at Villa International High School hall.
The open lecture was attended by senior government officials, primary, secondary and tertiary level students, Environment Management students from The Maldives National University and other interested individuals.
Professor André shed light upon the plate tectonic theory and how it relates to the formation of the Maldives. He said that the Darwin's theory about atoll formation in 1892 was compiled with a very limited data set and that at the time, Darwin had not been aware of the glaciation existed and also the rise and fall of the sea water over extended periods of time.
André stated that the age of the volcanic plateau upon which Maldives resides was exposed for a while and had slowly subsided over time. He also suggested that Maldives is not that old and that it would probably be a few million years old. He said that the age and thickness data is available due to large petroleum companies like Shell which carried out oil and gas exploration activities in the 70s and 80s.
He said that Darwin was only 23 years of age as he started his first journey and that even though he did not visit the Maldives; Darwin had an idea of the theory. André stated that the Maldives was formed over a volcano plateau and that new findings make it more understandable.
Professor André first started his research in Maldives in the year 1985. His findings were mainly based upon Carbonate Sedimentology with emphasis on periplatform carbonate ooze; Paleoceanography and paleoclimatology of the Neogene; Shallow carbonate platforms and deep adjacent environments, evolution, and processes and the drillings by geologists, including a drill performed 3.3km upon the volcanic plateau on which Maldives reside.
He focuses his work on the processes related to recent carbonate sedimentation and the understanding of variations through time of carbonate mineralogy, micropaleontology and geochemistry in periplatform sediments with direct global and regional implications with respect to paleoceanography, paleoclimatology, and paleoecology.
Another objective of his research is to better understand the Cenozoic, especially Neogene, evolution of modern carbonate platforms by means of bathymetric and high resolution seismic surveys, coring and dredging, as well as drilling. In the past ten years, André has been directly involved with the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) and have participated as sedimentologist at four ODP Legs, Leg 101 in the Bahamas (1985), Leg 115 in the Maldives (1987), Leg 133 in Northeast Australia (1990), and Leg 165 in the Caribbean (1996).
Comparisons of these data from the separate locations also give a better perspective of the processes involved and the effects it has on the tectonic movement.


Street fair
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A New York City street fair.
A street fair is a fair that celebrates the character of a neighborhood. As its name suggests, it is usually held on the main street of a neighborhood.
The principal component of street fairs are booths used to sell goods (particularly food) or convey information; sometimes they have carnival rides and parades, as well. Many have live music and dance demonstrations.[1]
They are usually no more than a few blocks long, although some fairs, such as the 9th Avenue International Food Festival in New York City and the Solano Stroll in Northern California extend more than a mile. A fair only one block long is commonly called a block party.
A street fair in the historically seafaring neighborhood of Ballard, Seattle, Washington
Street fairs vary greatly in character, even within one city. Annual street fairs in Seattle, for example, include the University District Street Fair, featuring the work of numerous craftspeople, and requiring that the person who actually made the goods that are for sale must be present in their own booth; the Fremont Fair features crafts from around the world, as well as the Summer Solstice Parade and Pageant, famed for its painted naked cyclists. In the same city the Capitol Hill Block Party fences off several blocks, charges admission, and features many of the city's best known rock bands while the Chinatown-International District Summer Fair has a distinctly Asian-American and Pacific Islander flavor, with taiko drummers, martial arts demonstrations, and Hawaiian dance.
In Belgium, street fairs are known as braderies, which translates to roasting; a reference to the frequent roasting of meat at these events.

Different Power Stop Brake Kits Come with Different Types of Rotors
It's good to know the differences in the modifications on the rotors and how they may benefit you.
The Science Behind Heat Transfer in Rotors
Drill holes and slots in rotors can both improve braking, but under different braking scenarios. To understand how these rotor modifications can improve stopping power, it is first necessary to understand the three forms of heat transfer:
Conduction: When there exists a temperature gradient within a body, heat energy will flow from the region of high temperature to the region of low temperature. This is conduction. Conduction heat flows from the edge of the rotor through the hub bearing, and it also flows through the brake pad into the caliper.
Convection: Air flow dissipates heat from a body. Normally, the higher the air flow over the rotor, the more heat is removed. The rotor vanes act like a fan blade to move air from the inside of the rotor to the outside edge. The rotor vanes helps remove heat through convection.
Radiation: heat is removed through infrared radiation (electromagnetic radiation that is not visible). After you drive your car, stop and pop the hood, you can feel the heat with your hands above the engine without touching it. You are feeling the infrared radiation coming off the engine.
All three methods of heat transfer occur when you apply the brakes. During a typical stop, the heat transfer is about 25% conductive, 35% convective, 40% radiation. For a high temperature, high speed stop, the heat transfer is about 15% conductive, 40% convective, 45% radiation. At high speed, convection heat transfer is very important. This is why drill holes can help reduce the brake temperaure. The drill holes help air flow through the vanes. The brake temperature can drop up to 180 degrees. Brake pads work better at lower temperatures, and you reduce the risk of pulsating brakes as well.
So, Drilled or Slotted?
Slotted rotors do not improve any heat transfer. However, the slots can improve brake output by removing gas and dust that is trapped between the pad and rotor. This gas and dust reduces the friction force by preventing the pad from fully contacting the rotor.
Given the choice between drill holes and slots, the drill holes will give you better braking power over slots for normal city/highway driving. This is why high end BMW, Porsche, Corvette, and Mercedes rotors are drilled, not slotted. However, for track racing (high speed stops), slotted rotors are the better choice.
Remember, Don't Just Stop…PowerStop!
