Things to Remember When Inspecting Your Wheel Loader
What are the things that you should take note of while inspecting a wheel loader?
 1. Performing a walk-around inspection
 2. The bottom of the cab ladder
 3. Tires
 4. Wheel loader bucket
 5. Wheel loader engine area

A wheel loader is an important piece of heavy equipment in the Philippines. Just like mobile cranes, it is one of the most important construction equipment used in almost every project. Its robust design and structure, especially its large front and rear wheels make it ideal for pushing, lifting, and loading materials such as sand, earth, snow, and other objects. The wheel loader is one of the heavy construction equipment that deals with material handling. Though not as precise and careful as the forklift, the wheel loader is the more utilized machine for outdoor industries.
That being said, the wheel loader is used in a variety of industries: It can be found in construction, mining and quarrying, forestry, recycling, and in other countries, snow removal!
One of the more iconic pieces of equipment in the construction industry, it will almost never be absent whenever a large scale construction is at hand. Many companies rely on these wheel loaders for the distribution of large amounts of materials around the construction site. In that regard, the wheel loader is one of the most used, and sometimes strained heavy equipment. Make sure that they are always in top working conditions by regularly inspecting them—and here are a few reminders when you do so!

Perform a Walk-Around Inspection
When it comes to the maintenance of heavy equipment, you should never be lazy. These large machines have complex parts. Inspecting heavy equipment such as wheel loaders doesn't mean you just looking around the outside for some scratches or dents. You should focus on looking at every possible place where something might possibly be wrong.

The Bottom of the Cab Ladder
The Bottom of the Cab Ladder
You should make it a habit to start your inspection around this area. By starting here, you'll be able to check out the transmission fluid level that is often found to the left of the ladder. Afterward, within the area, try to find if there is any wear in the drive-line area. Once you've finished there, proceed to look for the hoses and couplings. Make sure that they are where they're supposed to be, tightly placed, and no leaks can be found.

The Tires
The next in line on your checklist should be your tires. Inspect them for any kind of foreign material. Stones that are stuck on the tires can prove a problem, particularly the sharp ones. Although large wheels are extremely more durable than your normal tires, constant wear and tear can still damage them.
Move in deeper and check the wheel rim for cracks and loose parts. If there are any, tighten them. The next thing that you should check is the inflation pressure of the tire. Refer to the operator manual to check what the correct pressure of your tire is. Take note of and check for leaks from the axel sea in the rear tires.

The Wheel Loader Bucket
The Wheel Loader Bucket
When inspecting the bucket, look at the cutting edge, make sure that is if evenly flat on the ground. If not, then it might be an indication that a tire is under-inflated. Aside from that, look for unusual wear patterns on the bucket cutting edge, and review the rest of the bucket for cracked welds, bends in the metal or missing bolts and such.

The Wheel Loader Engine Area
Check the engine enclosure for any kind of damage or foreign material attached to it. After that, continue into the main engine but first, check all around the engine area for debris on both sides of the engine. Ensure that there are absolutely no leaks on any parts. Check the oil level and the coolant gauge level.
The next thing that you should do is to find the fuel and water separator. Remove any kind of water that may have been collected in the bowl. Make sure that there are no leaks in the fuel filters. After that, open the left side and rear side enclosure doors to inspect the other parts.
Inspect the fuel cooler, the hydraulic oil cooler, the change air cooler, and the hydraulic oil filter for any debris or leaks. Next, you should check the v-belt for cracks and that it has the appropriate tension based on the operator manual's specifications.
Lastly, look at the fins of the heat exchangers checking for broken or bent fins and make sure that they're all clean. Check the fan enclosure for leaks and broken blades, then check the fuel cap if it's secured.
By this time, you should now make a final check of everything there and make sure that you didn't miss anything!

Key Takeaway
A wheel loader one of the most used heavy equipment in the Philippines. the best models are incredibly durable and fuel efficient, but when it is used a lot, it will surely need an inspection every now and again. That being said, always remember to perform these standard procedures every time you plan on using wheel loaders for construction projects!

Components are groups of fields you can add to your content types. A component can be used as single element of a content type, or repeated. For example, an address component is a set of text fields for capturing someone's house number, street name, county, postcode, country, and so on. So, your content type could contain a single address component, or it could use multiple addresses when assigned to a composer field.
Think of components as a set of pre-defined fields that help keep your input types consistent across multiple content types.
As an example, a social component may contain the fields required to generate open graph metadata such as title, description, image, and author. Components are created using the component builder.

Fast Ball Physics
Is there away to calculate the speed of my sons pitch with
a stop watch? He throws from 60 feet 6 inches.
Not likely unless you have a fast finger! Let's say your son throws a 60
mph fastball -- that's equal to
88 ft/sec. Since the distance from mound to plate is 60.5 ft, that is a
lapsed time of ~0.7 sec. It is estimated that humans have a reaction time
of ~0.1 sec., so the measurement would not be very accurate.

If you own property on a lake, one of the issues you're going to have to consider is the safety of your electricity down at the dock and next to the water. As outdoor electricians in Forsyth County, GA, we frequently work with people who have waterfront property, and just about every time we analyze people's property, we find some stray voltage in the water, meaning the water has at least some level of electrical charge. There are very few docks you'll find without any stray voltage.
Why is this important to know, and what is involved with checking the voltage? Here's some information you should be aware of as a person who owns or enjoys visiting waterfront property.
Searching for stray voltage
Checking the voltage of the water is as simple as checking the voltage of any other item or material. Simply place a voltage detector in the water and check the readings.
Many times, the readings will only be in the millivolts range. This is a negligible amount of electricity that will be unlikely to have any sort of effect. However, any higher than that and you need to start being concerned about safety. Electrical shock drowning can occur with as little as two volts in the water. This happens when an electrical current found in the water passes through an individual in that area's water. The person could become paralyzed as a result of the current, unable to swim away or keep floating.
Ideally, then, there should be no voltage at all in the water when you perform the inspection. If there is stray voltage, it's important to determine what is causing it and how you can remedy the issue.
Even if the dock is wired to code, there is still a chance it will give off stray voltage. In some cases, there may be ground wires for motors on boat lifts that are too thin, in which case there is more resistance for the electricity. It becomes easier for the electricity to pass through the water rather than the ground wire.
There may also be an issue with electrical panels being wired the same as they would be in homes, rather than wired with neutral wires isolated. Outdoor electricians will understand the differences in wiring indoor versus outdoor panels and the safety issues associated with that.
In cases of higher levels of stray voltage, the electrical problems may be more obvious or severe.
In any case, a professional electrician can analyze your dock electricity in Forsyth County, GA to determine if it is at safe levels. If you're interested in learning more about stray voltage in water and how it occurs, we encourage you to contact Duke Electric Co. today about our services and about the methods we use to analyze stray voltage. Our team would be happy to answer any questions you have, and we look forward to coming out to analyze your dock and property to ensure your risk of electrocution in the water is eliminated.

A hands-on invasive species removal workshop is scheduled from 4-6 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 2 (postponed from Oct. 26) at Veterans Park, 4451 N. Vantage Drive in north Fayetteville.
Participants will learn how to identify and remove invasive plants. Those in attendance are encouraged to bring work gloves and wear long sleeves, long pants, and sturdy shoes. Tools and water will be provided.
The event, hosted by the city's Environmental Action Committee and the U.S. Green Building Council Emerging Professionals Group, is one of several projects to emerge since the city's invasive species ordinance was adopted late last year. Another popular project is the Parks and Recreation Department's partnership with Greedy Goats of Northwest Arkansas, which brings a herd of goats to Wilson Park to clear invasive plants.
For more information on local invasive plants, check out the city's digital publication "Invasive Plant Species in Fayetteville Arkansas," which includes information on how to identify, remove, and replace invasive plants with native or non-invasive equivalents.

One of the many goals of wetland restoration is to promote the long-term storage of carbon (C) in the terrestrial biosphere. Unfortunately, soil C reservoirs in restored wetlands are slow to accumulate even after hydrology and plant communities are reestablished. Oftentimes wetland restoration changes the soil matrix and thus can dramatically alter how soil C is stored and processed. Our research investigated whether soil organic matter (SOM) preservation theories derived from studies in non-wetland soil systems can be extended to wetland soils. We examined C associated with water-stable soil aggregates, minerals, and metal oxides within habitats of one natu-ral and one restored tidal freshwater wetland. This study revealed that a majority of the soil C in the natural site was associated with large macroag-gregates (>2000um), and soils from the restored site stored more C in small macroaggregates (≥250 to <2000 um). Despite these different associations, the chemical composition of SOM followed similar patterns across each aggregate-size class. Results from the sequential extraction procedure suggest organo-metal oxide complexes do not contribute to C stabilization in these habitats. This research is one of the few studies that have examined C stabilization related to soil structure in wetland soils. Our results suggest soil aggregate formation may be an important mechanism driving C stabilization, and that disruption to macroaggregates may limit C accumulation in restored wetlands. Additional empirical research and long-term field monitoring are needed to confirm linkages between aggregate-C stabilization and accumulation in wetland soils.

healthy your Pug is and whether he has developed any health conditions that might impair his life expectancy.
They are considered to be in their prime between the ages of 1 and 7, afterwards, they are considered seniors dogs.
Dogs Similar to Pugs
In terms of size, there are some breeds similar to pugs:
Boston Terrier vs Pug
The Boston Terrier has a much slimmer appearance mainly because they are taller than pugs, and are slightly lighter too.
Boston Terriers size varies a bit. Bostons weigh between 4.5 to 11 kg (9.92 to 24.25 lbs) and they measure between 15 to 17 inches (38.1 to 43.2cm) in height.
Find out more about Boston Terriers here.
French Bulldog vs Pug
Both are very similar in height. Frenchies are slightly taller, between 11-13 inches (28-33 cm).
However, French Bulldogs weigh more than Pugs. On average, they weigh between 20 lb (9.1kg) to 28 lb (12.7kg).

Open the map and zoom into your region to see how your cycle highway (network) is related to the potential cycle highways in Europe. This European fishing lake for potential cycle highways helps you to:
- envision a future cycle highway (network) in your region
- start creating different scenario's for the route alignment
- give identity to your cycle highway (network)
Considering the cycle highway as the future alternative for car-oriented activity patterns and travel behaviour starts with the exploration of a European wide cycle highway network. First step in the process is developing understanding about the possible high-level feasibility. Planning infrastructural developments is nothing new. Already several planning tools exist, ranging from traditional traffic forecast models, quick scan modules to cycling counts. The more sophisticated tools require detailed social economic information (inhabitants and jobs) and by preference multimodal infrastructural data. Given the diversity in and availability of data within Europe, the CHIPS approach was to develop a generic tool catering for first insights in the (trans)national cycle highway development feasibility within Europe.
In order to generate the European Cycle Highway Potential Map, the development process can be divided in five stages:
- population data
- trip generation
- build network
- assign to connections
- cluster connections
In line with the cycle highway definition, cycle highways are set to connect cities and or suburbs, residential areas and major (work)places. As a basis for the calculations the Geostat dataset was used, which contains the full European population in a grid of 1x1 kilometer. Although this dataset doesn't consist of job related information, the assumption is that in the vicinity of most major (work)places also residential areas are located.
The outcome of the first stage is the amount of inhabitants per square kilometre. The second stage in the process is the calculation of the trip generation. Because of the diversity in cycling culture and cycling share throughout Europe there isn't a fixed parameter for the amount of cycling trips per inhabitant per day. Next, the objective is to explore the cycle highway network development feasibility in a similar way throughout Europe. Therefore the assumption is being made that every inhabitant cycles one trip each day. The actual future cycling demand of a cycle highway within a region requires more specific and more detailed information. The cycle highway development plans are then mostly more concrete and specific and require a different planning tool.
In order to determine the relevant cycle highway connections, a topological network has to be generated. This network is built based on the population data grid. The network is developed by first connecting all nodes in the grid, horizontally, vertically and diagonal, detailed by radial connections as shown in the figure.
Assign to connections
After having the network ready, each individual trip, for the trip generation process, is assigned to the topological network. The routes for this assignment are determined using a shortest path algorithm. For each node in the grid this method is apply. Only on relations with social economic value cycling trips are assigned.
Last step in the process is clustering all trips onto valuable potentially heavy used cycling relations. To obtain this result in an iterative process cyclists are rerouted by increasing speed on heavy used links. The outcome is a theoretical cycle highway potential map. Although the method is still open for enhancement, it shows the contours of cycle highway potential throughout Europe. In future, adding workplace data would increase the value of the map. In the total process of cycle highway planning more advanced in-depth models are already available on the market. With these models specific regional cycle highway potential analyses can be executed. The European Cycle Highway Potential Map is already a sound basis for cycle highway exploration and discussion.

The SPI_3FETs board
The SPI_3FETs board
This is the documentation page for the SPI_3FETs and I2C_3FETs boards.
Overview
The board has 3 FETs that allow you to pull a pin of a load low. You would normally tie the other end of your load directly to the power supply.
About 5A per output is possible. Maximum voltage is 24V.
You will have to provide your own protection circuits if you are going to drive inductive loads (like a motor).
Assembly instructions
None: the board comes fully assembled.
Specifications
The 3FETs board is capable of sinking about 5A per output. We have tested A and the FET became slightly warm, as predicted by theory.
Although the specifications for the FETs allow a larger current, it is not recommended to exceed the 5A

Pinout
For the SPI connector see: SPI_connector_pinout.
For the I2C connector see: I2C_connector_pinout.
The output connector is connected as follows:
pin function
1 OUT0
2 OUT1
3 OUT2
4 V+
5 V+
6 V+
7 GND
8 GND
The "V+" is a convenience connector. The GND of your powersupply needs to be connected to GND, and your load goes between the plus of your powersupply and the "OUT" signals. You could wire it directly from the powersupply, or you can connect the powersupply to the "V+" here, and the loads between another V+ and the OUTx connector.
This board does not provide a protection diode between the OUTx signals and V+. This allows you to connect say a 5V powersupply to V+ and use OUT1 and OUT2 for 5V devices, while you connect a 12V load between OUT0 and a 12V powersupply. (the protection diode would allow the 12V powersupply to feed the 5V line through the 12V load and the protection diode when the 12V load was meant to be off.)
The MOSFETs that we use are specified to be able to handle an inductive kickback. This means they will survive an occasional inductive spike, but not when you trigger that too often, say by putting the output in PWM mode.
So, if you have an inductive load you will need to provide your own protection diode, especially if you're going to use the PWM mode.
LEDs
The only LED is a power-LED.

jumper settings
See solder jumpers on how to change the solder jumper.
By changing the solder jumper SJ1, you can make the connector nearest the board edge into the ICSP programming connector for the attiny44 on the board.
Protocol
To make the 3fets PCB do things, you need to send things over the SPI or I2C bus to the PCB.
For the intro to the SPI and I2C protocols read: SPI versus I2C protocols.
In case of SPI, please read the General_SPI_protocol notes.
The specific commands for the 3fets PCB are explained on the page about the spi_dio board, as the two boards share the same protocol: DIO_protocol . Where the SPI_DIO drives an output high, the 3fets board will drive the output pin LOW when the pin is driven active.
Some 3fets boards were shipped with software that would default the outputs to inputs. On those you need to set all pins to outputs by sending 0xff to register 0x30 in your initialization sequence.
For arduino, a sample PDE is available, called ardemo_lcd.pde, also at the BitWizard software download directory .
This is a demo to send things using SPI to the lcd board. The SPI routines there are applicable for the dio and 3fets boards as well.

Revision as of 18:24, 11 October 2020
Voyager has three ways to perform actions and take images:
- Using the buttons in the OnTheFly workspace and the Commands window to perform immediate actions such as an autofocus, plate solve, or camera shot
- Running a sequence from either the OnTheFly or Research & Survey workspaces. An OnTheFly Sequence performs a set of actions and takes a series of images of a single target; a Research & Survey Sequence takes a given set of exposures of one or more targets, optionally in a loop
- Using a DragScript to automate a complete imaging session from startup to shutdown, including one or more sequences. The DragScript offers the most flexibility and automation, and is the method of choice to run unattended, all-night automated imaging sessions
The DragScript workspace can be entered two different ways:
Click the icon pointed at by the red arrow in the Command Bar at the top of the Voyager window
Or, click the Section menu and then click the DragScript icon from the Section ribbon
When you first enter the DragScript workspace, if there is no script loaded, it will look like this:
Once a script is loaded, it will fill the light gray area in the middle of this workspace.
- Clear All Startup Flag: Resets all Sequence block flags set by running the script so you can run it again from the start. See Setting Sequence Options from a DragScript below to see the optional flags you can set by right clicking on a sequence block in a DragScript. This button resets all those flags and starts the DragScript with sequences running in their normal default mode. Click the gear icon to select and load a DragScript from the files saved on your disk
- Edit Script: Bring up the script editor. The button with a British flag brings up the English language editor. The button with an Italian flag brings up the Italian language version of the editor. If a script has been opened in this workspace using the gear icon, it will be loaded in the editor for use.
- Reload Script: Loads the script you selected with the gear icon fresh from disk. Click this button after making changes and saving them to disk with the DragScript editor.
- DragScript Run: Run the DragScript loaded in this workspace with the gear icon
Once you load a script by clicking the gear icon, the script appears in the workspace like this:
After you click DragScript Run to run the script, an arrow will appear next to the currently executing action:
Messages related to the running DragScript will appear in the Monitor window so you can follow the progress of the script in detail:
DragScript: Starting from an Arbitrary Line
You can also start the script from an arbitrary line.
Right-click on the line where you'd like to start execution. A menu appears:
- Start Script from Here: Click to begin DragScript execution from the selected line
- Start Script from Here - Force Events Disabled: Click to begin DragScript execution from the selected line with Emergency Suspend, Resume and Exit events disabled
These two choices are available for any line in the DragScript.
Setting Sequence Options from a DragScript
If you right-click on a Sequence or Research & Survey line in the DragScript. two more choices are available, Sequence Startup Override and Sequence Startup Normal. These can be used to override the options configured in the Sequence Start tab, or to clear the override. This override is only applied temporarily to the DragScript. They will be cleared when you shutdown Voyager.
- Sequence Startup Override: Click to start the DragScript from the Sequence (or Research & Survey) line with options:
- Normal Start: Start the sequence using the options configured in the Sequence Start tab
- Just Precise Pointing and Start Shot: Use Precise Pointing to center the target and then begin taking exposures
- Manual Override: Gives you fine control over specific actions to perform or not when running the sequence:
- Initial Precise Pointing Target: If checked, before doing anything else, perform precision pointing to the target coordinates
- Initial Focus: If checked, perform an initial autofocus before starting the sequence
- Initial Guide Calibration: If checked, instruct the guiding software to perform a calibration run before starting the sequence
- Precise Pointing Before First Shot: If checked, perform a precision pointing action before taking the first exposure. Done to avoid that Guide Calibration or focus goto introduce a significant pointing error
If an override is in effect, two blue triangles appear before the Sequence line:
To clear the Override, right click the line and choose the Sequence Startup Normal menu option:
Starting a DragScript from the Command Line
You can automatically launch a DragScript when you start Voyager from the command line with the syntax:
- Voyager2.exe /run:"fully qualified script filename"
- Voyager2.exe /run:"C:\documents\pippo\voyager\script\script.vos"
Clicking the Edit Script button will bring up the DragScript editor in its own window. In this screen capture, the script loaded in the DragScript workspace above is automatically loaded in the editor for you:
- Select one of the pre-loaded scripts that are installed automatically with Voyager. These can be a good starting point to help you understand how scripts are structured and used
- Reset the editor to have a blank (empty) script. Even an "empty" script has several sections:
- Start: Specifies whether Events are enabled or disabled when the script starts. Double click this script element to bring up a dialog box and choose the setting
- Script: The bulk of your script actions are contained between the Script and End labels
- End: The End label marks the end of your DragScript
- Events: This optional section holds your actions to take when an Emergency Suspend, Exit or Resume event is raised during script execution
- Load a DragScript from disk
- Save a DragScript to disk
- Save a DragScript to disk but remove all private data - example: email login information stored in a Send Email action. Use this setting to save a copy of your DragScript before sharing it with other people or posting on a forum (new as of Voyager 2.1.4a)
- Click a script element to select it, then click the green up arrow to move it upwards in your script
- Click a script element to select it, then click the green down arrow to move it downwards in your script
- Click a script element to select it, then click the red X to delete it
- Click to debug the script by running it under the DragScript Simulator
- Click to save the script to a plain text format file, suitable for printing
The DragScript window contains the script you are currently editing. Drag items from the Editor Elements window on the right and drop them on the section where you want them to go, and they will be added to your script.
You can drag a block onto the Script, an existing block, or any of the IF decision actions.
You can drag any element to a block IF or a block DO action.
The easiest way to see where you can drop a new element is to watch the cursor shape while you are dragging the new element onto the DragScript. It will be the international "Not" sign - a circle with a slash through it - if you cannot drop the new element at that spot. It will be an arrow with a little rectangle attached if that is a legal spot to drop the new element.
If the cursor doesn't change, you are probably using the DragScript editor on a remote PC and your remote viewer, such as TeamViewer, has been set to not change the local mouse pointer to match the remote machine's mouse pointer.
OR -- on Windows 10, if your remote machine does not have a mouse enabled, the mouse pointer won't change shape. To fix this:
1) Right click the Windows button on the remote PC's desktop (not on your local PC)
2) Click Settings
3) Type "Mouse Keys" in the search box and select "Turn Mouse Keys On or Off"
4) Turn Mouse Keys on
Here's a brief example. Let's say we want to add the action Goto Near Zenith before the Expose: action in the above script.
- Click the plus sign next to the Mount label in the Editor Elements box to show all available mount actions. Click Goto Near Zenith and drag it to the Script label in the DragScript window:
- After you drop it on the Script label in the DragScript window, it will be added as the last action in that section:
- Click Goto Near Zenith and then click the green up arrow icon in the toolbar at the top of the window to move the selected action up to where you want it to run
- Some DragScript actions require additional configuration before they will run. In that case, the element will be highlighted in red. Double-click it to bring up the dialog box, fill it out, and click OK to complete configuration of the element.
- When you are finished making your changes, save your script using the Save icon.
- Return to the DragScript workspace in Voyager and click Reload Script to load the updated script with your changes
Editing a DragScript
Once you have created your initial DragScript by dragging elements from the right window to the script window, you can modify your script in several ways:
- Click an element to highlight it, then use the green Up/Dn arrows in the command bar to move it up or down, or the red X to delete it
- Double click a configurable element to open its configuration window. Make your changes and click the OK button to save them or Cancel to discard them
- Right click an element to bring up this menu:
- Move UP/Move

This paper describes a flow control regulator application in a diversion dam at the Irrigation District 097, "Lázaro Cardenas", Michoacan, Mexico. A Hydropower Company has started to produce electricity during high demand peak hours releasing the daily volume for irrigation in few hours. Downstream of the storage dam, a Diversion dam stores the water released for power and delivers the water as the irrigation district requires under controlled conditions. Because of these changes in operations at the diversion dam a SCADA systems was installed. The measurement and operation equipment integrated for this application consisted in a SCADAPack, the Probe ultrasonic level sensor, gate position sensor and Horizontal Doppler Current Profiler Channel Master as flow meter. The SCADAPacks at the flow meter and diversion dam were connected by low cost radios called Maxstream. To improve the reliability of the systems redundant equipment was installed on gate position, upstream level sensor. For flow measurement reliability the gate equation, calibrated with the H-ADCP data, was used. As a first step a set of rules were introduced to adjust the gate opening to keep the flow at the head of the main canal constant as the level on the diversion dam change. Since the end of 2006 the system is being transferred from a manual system to an automated system.
Presented at SCADA and related technologies for irrigation district modernization, II: a USCID water management conference held on June 6-9, 2007 in Denver, Colorado.

I'm trying to figure out how to replicate the UITableViewCellStyleValue2 style so that the detail text can be multiple lines - as seen in the 'address' cells in the Contacts app. Like the Contacts app, some of the fields (like street name) are optional; so it would show say 3 lines instead of 4, if the street was not nil.
I'm I missing a trick, or do I have to create a custom cell in IB? How to ensure the text and detail text labels line-up with other UITableViewCellStyleValue2 cells?
Thanks for any tips.

One problem now is that UILineBreakModeWordWrap is depreciated. Now you must use NSLineBreakByWordWrapping in iOS 6. – Marcel Marino Nov 26 '13 at 14:43

It sounds to me like you'll have to create a custom UITableCell. The only way to ensure the text lines up is to get the margin/text width values correct, which can be done via trial and error, or using a measuring tool such as xScope.

I also had the problem that the textLabel and the detailTextLabel had a different position. Solution: For the detailTextLabel use the same height like the textLabel (e.g. 13)

Create a custom cell for you table and place a UILabel and a UITextView inside it. Position the label & text view to match their x,y positions to the other cells you are using in that table. You insert "\n" in the textview's text wherever you want line breaks to occur. You resize the textview height depending on the number of lines in the textview using something like:
CGRect frame = yourTextView.frame; frame.size.height = yourTextView.contentSize.height; yourTextView.frame = frame; return frame.size.height + 20.0; // Pad the cell's height as necessary for your applicaion

Surface chemistry in relation to flotation selectivity: TOF-SIMS surface analysis of mineral phases from metallurgical tests in flotation circuits
Request for analysis:
Metallurgical testing on a poly metallic Cu/Pb/Zn ore indicated either copper or lead activation of sphalerite in a Cu/Pb flotation test.
Objective:
To establish and rank the factors controlling sphalerite flotation.
Methodology:
The surface composition of individual sulphide grains was examined by TOF-SIMS and comparative analyses of the surface chemistries on sphalerite grains from the feed, concentrate (fast floating particles) and tails (rejected particles) were performed.
Results of the study:
Both Cu and Pb were identified on the surface of the sphalerite grains examined. Figure 1 shows a Zn map (secondary ion image of Zn in the concentrate sample) along with an example of the positive ion spectra from the surface of sphalerite grains from the concentrate and tail samples in the mass region of Pb (Pb isotopes 206, 207 and 208 are shown). The spectra clearly illustrate peak positions and windows identified for peak (mass) intensity measurements.
Activators species on surface of sphalerite:
Plots of normalized counts for Pb and Cu on the surface of the sphalerite grains from the feed, concentrate and tails samples (Figure 2) reveal that:
 - The Pb content is not significantly different on the surface of the sphalerite grains in the concentrate relative to the feed.
 - The Pb content on the surface of the sphalerite grains in the tail is less than that in the feed and concentrate.
 - Cu is more abundant on the surface of the sphalerite grains in the concentrate relative to the feed.
 - The range of Cu content in the tail samples is dispersed over the entire range defined by the feed and concentrate.
Depressant species on surface of sphalerite:
Potential depressant species: Ca does not appear to be favoured on either the concentrate or tails sphalerites; Mg appears to be slightly more abundant on the sphalerites in the tail samples (Figure 3).
Statistical comparison of sphalerite surface composition between concentrate and tails:
The data in the scatter plots is emphasized in the T-test comparison analyses (Figure 4). T-test values for mass species that exhibit statistically significant differences at 95% confidence level will be presented in a green colour on the T-test graph, while species with t-values that are not as statistically significant will be presented in a grey colour.
 - The data show a strong statistically significant presence of Pb on the surface of the sphalerite from the concentrate relative to the tails.
 - Cu does occur on the surface of the sphalerite, however the strength of the presence is markedly less than that for Pb.
Relevant mechanisms based on surface analyses:
 - Analyses indicate that Cu and Pb are involved in the activation of the sphalerite grains.
 - The greater discrimination in the Pb signal between the concentrate and tail samples suggests that Pb may be dominant in the inadvertent activation of sphalerite. Moreover, the distribution of Pb on sphalerite surfaces in the concentrate is limited in range, relative to Cu, suggesting it may be a more consistent activator.
 - Depressant species (for example Ca and Mg) are not strongly discriminatory between concentrate and tail samples. This indicates that depressant species are not likely controlling the flotation characteristics of the sphalerite. The slight enrichment of Mg in the tail samples suggests that the sphalerite surfaces may contain a greater proportion of adsorbed gangue material, thus inhibiting activation by Cu or Pb.
Cu versus Pb activation:
 - Pb activation; given the similar proportion of Pb on sphalerites in the feed and concentrate suggests that adsorption likely occurred during grinding.
 - Cu activation; given the significant difference between the proportion in the feed and concentrate, adsorption likely occurred during conditioning and flotation.
Major findings:
 - Pb is the predominant activating agent.
 - Activation of sphalerite by Pb occurs during grinding.
 - Cu is mostly a secondary activation agent.
 - Activation by Cu likely occurs during conditioning and flotation.
 - No significant role of common depressants (Ca, Mg) observed.

Figure 3. Scatter plots showing the distribution for Ca and Mg versus Zn on sphalerite surfaces in the feed, concentrate and tail. The data are normalized by total ion intensity
Figure 4. T-test statistical analyses for data from sphalerite grain surfaces from concentrate/tail flotation tests. All data in the tests were normalized by the total ion intensity and area. The surface components in bright green are considered to be statistically different between the concentrate and tail samples


How to Make Steam Download Faster
With Steam being the largest game distribution platform available today, there's practically no game you can't download using this service. Having well over 30,000 available titles and tens of millions of players worldwide, there's a lot of online exchange going on every minute.
Considering all that traffic, it's no wonder their servers can become overloaded at times, especially when a popular new game gets its release. That's why it's important to make sure you get the best connection to Steam you can, so you can achieve the fastest download speed possible. Luckily, this article is here to help you with that, providing a couple of options you can try.
How to Make Steam Download Faster
Although it might appear that you can't do anything about the download speed, this actually isn't the case. As a matter of fact, there are many ways to do improve this, as you can see from the list below:
 1. Make sure the Steam app is properly set up to maximize your download speed.
 2. Check if there are any anti-virus or firewall restrictions on your computer.
 3. Disconnect any unnecessary devices from your internet connection.
 4. Set your router to prioritize Steam traffic.
 5. Switch from a Wi-Fi to an Ethernet connection.
Tweaking the Steam App for Faster Downloads
As mentioned above, when trying to improve your Steam downloads, the first place to start is the Steam client app itself.
 1. Open the Steam desktop client app.
 2. Click on the "Steam" tab at the top.
 3. Click on "Settings."
 4. Click on "Downloads" from the menu on the left.
 5. In the main portion of the screen, under the "Download Restrictions" section, make sure that the option "Limit bandwidth to" is set to "No limit." If there's a limit to your connection, your downloads won't be able to perform faster than that.
 6. In this section, there's also the "Throttle downloads while streaming" option. Make sure to keep this one checked, so that background Steam downloads don't take over your connection when streaming your gameplay.
 7. Next, check the "Download Region" section. In most cases, you should set this option to the region where you reside, or at least the one closest to your location.
As a general rule of thumb, the closer the region, the better the connection speed you can achieve. However, that is not always the case. If you're living in a region with a lot of Steam traffic, you might experience slower download speed due to the overcrowding of servers. In that case, you can choose another server that currently has less traffic.
To know which server to choose, you can use Steam's download stats map. There, you can see all the countries in the world and how much traffic they have had in the past seven days. This is a great way to know which region to choose in order to avoid too much traffic.
Checking Your Computer
If you've tweaked your Steam app as described above, but still experience issues with download speed, then perhaps something in your system may be causing the issue. The first culprit, in this case, could be a firewall you are using on your computer.
Since there are many different firewall apps out there, each one can have its own approach to this issue. However, all of them should have a list of apps they're monitoring and allow you to add or remove certain apps from the list. If that is the case, simply remove Steam from this kind of list, and your download speed should significantly improve.
The next on the list is the anti-virus software. Similar to firewalls, these apps can also reduce your traffic speed in order to check everything your computer exchanges with external servers. Although this makes you much safer when online, it can have a negative effect on your Steam download speed. To make sure this is the case, try making an exception for Steam in your anti-virus software and try downloading something.
Finally, you can set the Steam app to have a priority treatment in your computer's operating system. For example, Windows users can do this easily in Task Manager.
 1. Right-click on the Windows logo in the taskbar.
 2. Click on "Task Manager."
 3. Click on the "Details" tab to show all current processes with more details.
 4. Sort everything by name. To do so, just click the "Name" column at the top.
 5. Start typing "steam" and the related entries should appear.
 6. Now, right-click on Steam.exe.
 7. Click on "Set priority."
 8. Click on "High."
This will make the Steam client app use more resources than other apps, thus making sure it has all the bandwidth it needs.
Checking Your Internet Connection
Now that you've tweaked your Steam app and made sure your computer works in unison with Steam, it's possible you're still experiencing drops in download speed. So, now is the time to check your Internet connection.
First of all, you should check if there are any other devices connecting to the same network you're using. If someone else is downloading something over your home internet connection, it's normal to experience slower speed on your end. Another common example is when your family watches Netflix. Since there's a lot of 4K content on this streaming service, this can cause significant drops in download speed too.
The main reason behind this is the fact that home internet routers treat all devices in the network the same. That's why everybody can use your home Wi-Fi at the same time. However, if you want to prioritize Steam traffic over everything else, you might be able to do so if your router has such an option. To make sure if that's possible and how to do it, check your router's manual to learn more about it.
If you're sure there aren't any additional devices that are using your internet connection, then you should check your Wi-Fi signal. Sometimes, objects in your house can block the signal and interrupt your connection. To avoid any suspicion, try using an Ethernet cable to directly connect your computer to the internet router at your home. This will provide you with a stable, uninterrupted connection at all times.
Additional FAQ
Why is my download speed so slow on Steam?
There are many reasons why you might have a slow download speed on Steam. For example, you might be using a download region that's currently experiencing a surge in downloads. There could also be another device connected to your network that's using a lot of bandwidth. One common example is when someone at your home is streaming 4K content on Netflix using the same connection.
Other reasons may include poor Wi-Fi signal, firewall restrictions, or even issues with your internet provider. Whatever the cause, be patient, and work through the list of possible causes, one by one. Eventually, you'll find out what the problem is, and thus be able to address it.
Does Steam cap your download speed?
Although Steam has the option to limit the maximum download speed, this one is set to "No limit" by default. If you find this option set to any other value other than "No limit," make sure to sort that out immediately.
How do I improve my download speeds in Steam?
To learn how to improve your download speed in Steam, check out the sections above, which go into much detail about potential solutions.

|Nailing and Screwing - Course: Making of Wood Joints. Instruction Examples for Practical Vocational Training|
The present documentation contains six selected instruction examples which serve to apply and consolidate the knowledge and skills of nailing and screwing techniques.
The basic idea of this technique is the making of wood joints, as well as the fastening of mountings on wood by means of nails or screws.
Each of the six selected instruction examples offers different possibilities to make wood joints or fasten mountings by means of nails or screws for holding or securing the parts to be joined.
The following criteria are to be considered:
- kind and extent of load the joint is exposed to
- optical-esthetical appearance
- risk of injury.
The kinds of joints offered in the instruction examples can be practised on other workpieces as well depending on the requirements of the trainee's working range and/or factory.
This could be for example:
- fastening of floor boarding, rear walls of furniture
- assembly of picket fences, batten doors and plank doors, transport boxes
- mounting on furniture and structural wood members, makeshift furniture.
To facilitate the preparation and implementation of the works, the materials, tools, measuring, testing and auxiliary means required for each instruction example are stated.
The work routine mentioned for the individual instruction examples contains the sequence of operations which are necessary for making the nail and/or screw joint.
A work drawing is attached to each example which shows the type and arrangement of the nails or screws as well as the shapes and/or dimensions of the workpiece.

WordPress is an amazing platform that provides exceptional ease to people from all backgrounds. Coder or no coder, you can build your site within a short span of time. By integrating AMP with WordPress, website owners can enjoy and provide their users a unique experience.
So what is AMP?
AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) is an open standard project, initiated by Google, that allows quick loading of pages on mobile devices. Google gives special preferences to AMP pages. This allows them to enjoy higher rankings, load in as less time as one second and use data less than ten times as compared to regular pages.
AMP is based on HTML with few restrictions and some specialized tags. AMP pages can be built by creating a separate version of the respective site, based on AMP standards.
HTML AMP can be rendered easily similar to normal HTML. Apart from creating website, this open source HTML framework allows you to create AMP ads, AMP stories and even AMP emails.
To maintain the performance, AMP has a list of elements that are restricted or has replacement. You can learn more about them here : _URL_
Clearly, AMP has turned out to be extremely beneficial for content creators.
How to use AMP for WordPress:
 - Install the WordPress Plugin: Install the official AMP plugin from the link below:
 _URL_
 After installation, make sure that you disable "AMP" on each page individually and then start activating and fixing one page at a time. This will allow you to manage pages easily.
amp
 - Understanding the modes: AMP basically creates another light weight version of pages and creates a canonical URL such as:
 Non-AMP URL: abc.com
 AMP URL : abc.com/?amp
Now let's see what modes provide us
 - Standard : The standard mode converts all pages in AMP as soon as you activate it and there will be no canonical URLS. So your site is just amp overall. This may require development work if your theme styles break.
 - Transitional: This mode will allow you to manage both URLs: AMP and non AMP. This way you have styles and other important functions in your hand. You can keep everything on the page to be displayed on desktop (Non-AMP), while managing what to show/hide in the AMP version for mobile view.
 - Reader : Reader mode also have both AMP and non-Amp version but here your theme for site is not used. It converts page into a very simplified template.
 - -Managing styles/scripts for AMP version pages: If you choose Standard or Transitional mode you will need some development work as mentioned before. Here are few important points to consider:
 - All styles and scripts need to be in header file inside the head tag.
 - Styles should be placed between <style amp-custom> </style> tags.
 - There are few actions on page that need scripts like slick slider, hamburger menu etc. You will need to check if they have replacement in amp. If yes, then replace, for example : slick slider with amp carousel and hamburger menu with amp-sidebar.
 - If there is Google captcha on your forms, you will have to enable option for the captcha keys to work with AMP. Login to the Google recaptcha account and check this option :
 google-captcha
 - You will need a condition to get the new AMP related styles work only on amp page. So here is what you will add :
if (function_exists( 'is_amp_endpoint' ) && is_amp_endpoint()) {
 // do stuff }
For more details read here :
Submitting the page on Google: The last step after setting the styles and scripts for amp page is to get the AMP version of URL crawl by Google.
For this, login to the Google search console and submit the page URL for indexing. After few hours the result will be emailed to you, if there will be amp related errors the result will display them and you will have re-indexed the page, once they are fixed.
How AMP Works so Fast?
Let's discuss some of the reasons that makes AMP to work so fast:
 - Javascript is a powerful method to modify a page but it can create delay in page rendering. AMP helps to deal with this issue by only allowing asynchronous JavaScript.
 - Custom AMP elements, though consisting of some JavaScript, are designed in a way that they do not affect the overall performance.
 - All external resources (such as ads or iframes) are supposed to define their size in HTML. AMP does not wait for the resources to download and loads the layout of the page.
 - If a page is using custom script, then it is necessary to let the AMP system know that it will have a custom tag.
 - AMP Pages does not restrict Third party Javascript provided it is specifically for sandboxed iframes.
 - AMP HTML only allows inline styles, while the inline style sheet provides a maximum size of 50 kilobytes.
 - AMP allows GPU-accelerated animations i.e. animation and transitioning can be done on transform and opacity which eliminates the need of page layout.
 - AMPHTML allows you to share your ads on AMP and non-AMP pages. In short, you can create and share your adds, without any hassle, on any platform.
 - AMP also optimizes resource download. It does so by prioritizing the resource loading. And only loads the relevant, most necessary resources and prefetches the lazy-loaded resources. It loads the resources by taking ample amount of time while prefetches them without showing any delay.
 - As far as ads and images are concerned, they are only downloaded based on the user's interest.
 - When prerendering is applied to web content, it utilises a lot of bandwidth as well as CPU. AMP greatly helps in resolving such issues too.
What is CSS Tree Shaking?
CSS Tree Shaking : AMP purpose is to keep pages as simple as possible. Tree shaking is an algorithm that removes the css that is invalid for AMP page and exceeds limit of 50 KB. Your styling may break after converting pages. To fix this you will have to do some custom css in the header file. To read more, click here

Conclusion
The quick loading of AMP pages plays a vital role to create and maintain a large audience. This expands user engagement, brand awareness and enhances their interest in purchasing your product.
You can customise CSS any way you want along with performing A/B testing to provide an appealing website to viewers. Since you are providing fast access to every single page, it also helps in increasing the revenue.
By building website content (such as ads or landing pages) through AMP, which usually takes time, you can distribute them on various platforms simultaneously.
You do not even have to optimize your code for every distribution platform as format of AMP is completely portable and fast. Undoubtedly, Google AMP has changed the way content is loaded and accessed.

Scripture: Genesis 24
- Students will review the story of Isaac and Rebekah.
- Students will learn Abraham sent his servant to find a wife for Isaac.
- Students will learn God wants our marriages to be strong and godly.
- Students will participate in an activity to help missionaries support strong, godly marriages in the mission field.
Guiding Question: How can you help missionaries encourage new Christians to have strong, godly marriages?
Materials: well printed decorative scripture on quality paper (test to make sure the ink doesn't run when decoupage glue is brushed over it), small canvases (preferably easy to hang on the wall), decoupage glue, paint brushes, dishes to pour decoupage glue into if needed
Procedure: Review the story of Abraham focusing especially when he sent his servant to find a wife for Isaac. Discuss with students the idea marriage is important to God and He wants our marriages to be strong and godly. Share with students how some missionaries are serving in cultures which do not encourage or support these strong, godly marriages. If possible, contact a missionary and have them share photos and stories from their efforts to encourage marriages where they serve. (Be sure to contact them ahead of time to confirm this craft will help their ministry and the best way to transport it to them.)
Discuss with students the verse or verse you have printed from the Bible about godly love and marriage. You may want to have several options of scriptures or everyone can create identical canvases. Give each student a scripture, a small canvas and a paint brush. Several students can share one bottle of decoupage glue. (Check instructions to determine how much glue you will need.) Have students thoroughly brush the canvas with decoupage glue. Have them center the scripture on the canvas and smooth it out so there are no air bubbles. Let the paper and glue dry a bit, so it doesn't slide around when applying the top layers of decoupage glue. Have students apply two thin layer of decoupage glue. The entire canvas should be covered. It will take at least 24 hours for the finished canvases to dry completely.
- In what other ways can you help these missionaries in the mission field?
Supplemental Activity: Have more advanced students interview the missionaries your project is helping. What challenges do they face on the mission field? In what other ways can your class help them spread the Gospel? Have the students report their findings to the class. If possible, encourage the students to plan and lead their own service project for this mission effort.


text: One of the mathematical tools to measure the generation rate of new patterns along a sequence of symbols is the Lempel-Ziv complexity (LZ). Under additional assumptions, LZ is an estimator of entropy in the Shannon sense. Since entropy is considered as a measure of randomness, this means that LZ can be treated also as a randomness indicator. In this paper, we used LZ concept to the analysis of different flow regimes in cold flow combustor models. Experimental data for two combustor's configurations motivated by efficient mixing need were considered. Extensive computer analysis was applied to develop a complexity approach to the analysis of velocity fluctuations recorded with hot-wire anemometry and PIV technique. A natural encoding method to address these velocity fluctuations was proposed. It turned out, that with this encoding the complexity values of the sequences are well correlated with the values obtained by means of RMS method (larger/smaller complexity larger/smaller RMS). However, our calculations pointed out the interesting result that most complex, this means most random, behavior does not overlap with the "most turbulent" point determined by the RMS method, but it is located in the point with maximal average velocity. It seems that complexity method can be particularly useful to analyze turbulent and unsteady flow regimes. Moreover, the complexity can also be used to establish other flow characteristics like its ergodicity or mixing.

雅思写作中有这样一道考题：Do you agree or disagree university should not provide theoretical knowledge, but to give practical training benefit to society.你支持哪种观点呢?
Some people think that university should not provide theoretical knowledge, but to give practical training benefit to society.
Do you agree or disagree. use your own experience and knowledge to support your idea.
Most universities and colleges spend a rather long period in fundamental theories and elementary courses. But students regard these kinds of knowledge useless, and pay less attention to them. They suggest school pay more time for practical training instead of providing theoretical lessons. In my opinion, however, theoretical knowledge is necessary. And one will definitely benefit from it.
Firstly, fundamental theories, such as math and physics, are the basis of other knowledge. To a student who majors in automatic control, the course of control system is the most practical and useful in the future. But if he isn't good at math and circuit, he will hardly be able to understand the principles and methods of how to control a subject or process. It is just like constructing a building. How can you imagine a spectacular high-rise without a firm groundsill? That is, theories and practices are interrelated. We can ignore neither of them.
Moreover, theoretical basic knowledge provides not only the knowledge itself, but also a way that how to learn and research. University is a place for scientific research and invention. So it is necessary for students to have the skill of doing research. Seeing from another angle, science and techniques are exploding so quickly that present skills will soon be out of date. If one learnt nothing except practical skills, he would also fall behind the society. But if one could master the method of research, he would be able to refresh himself continuously with advanced technology.
From all the commentaries above, we can learn the important role of
theoretical knowledge. Although pragmatism is very popular today, we should pay enough attention to the basis and principles.

This is the Epitaph of Seikilos. It is the earliest complete music composition with notation ever discovered. It dates from somewhere between 100 BC and 100 AD. There are earlier examples of music to be sure - the Delphic Hymns, of course, as well as some early Japenese and Chinese ceremonial music, but it's all either fragmented or unable to be dated due to oral tradition.
The original 'score', such as it is, doesn't look like much to our modern eyes:
If you translate that into Western notation, however:
This is music that is two thousand years old. It could have been played when Christ walked the earth. And thanks to music being a universal language, we can hear those exact same notes, like a piece of history coming to life in front of us. Isn't that just incredible?
This is so beautiful.

In my old house there are two old tube lights. Some times they don't start properly, (specially at evening time, may be it is because of low voltage), they starts flickering i.e. on and off continuously. And when my elder brother touches them, mostly at center they just goes on. Even i have tried many times, the touching works, and even after removing the hand, once it is on(working properly), doesn't stop them, and they remains on. So why and how touching them works. Sorry for my bad English. Thanks in advance.

I've found this to be the case, too. Generally, my shop lights will flicker when turning on, especially when it is colder outside.
There are two basic phases to this kind of light bulb: a start-up phase, and an operating phase. The start-up requires more voltage, because you are initiating the plasma stream between the terminals of the bulb.
So, these bulbs are filled with gas, generally mercury vapor. When you turn it on, you're really creating an electrical arc at the end of the bulb. This arc ionizes the gas, and that is the flickering you see. Eventually, the entire length of the bulb can arc, and a plasma stream is created (plasma is just a gas of free-moving ions and electrons).
When it is cold, or if the starter arcs are wearing out (and can't produce sufficient voltage), then the flickering lasts longer. By touching the bulb, you actually provide a shorter path for the plasma stream! In effect, you get two short plasma streams, each terminating at your touch point. Then, once the plasma streams interact, and since the voltage required to maintain the stream is less than the voltage needed to establish it, the streams merge into one and the lamp will light.
This is similar to some "glowing orbs" you see in gift shops or museums... a glowing plasma (looks like lightning inside a clear spherical shell) will arc and bend toward your touch, since you are providing your own set of electric and magnetic fields.

Sorry _USER_ I did not want to downvote, my finger hit the wrong arrow :(. I will try to make a small edit and then I think I can change to what I wanted to vote. – anna v Oct 23 '12 at 16:22
_USER_, no worries! :) – OrangeWombat Oct 23 '12 at 16:49
thanks for your answer. But i'm thinking, isn't it then dangerous to touch the tube lights, what amount of voltage and current the plasma has, and why can't we feel the current flowing in our body, because even we can the feel current while touching cable or telephone wires. Please can you explain these things – android developer Oct 26 '12 at 6:31
It is not dangerous to touch the light, because you're not actually acting as a ground. I'm sorry my explanation was a bit vague on this point. Your touch generates a capacitance field, and the change in capacitance is what affects the plasma. This is the same effect that is used in "touch switches" on metallic fixtures, like some lamps. See this Wikipedia article for more detailed information about capacitave switches. – OrangeWombat Oct 29 '12 at 0:00

William Grattan Tyrone Power, Irish stage actor, comedian, author and theatrical manager known professionally as Tyrone Power, is born in Kilmacthomas, County Waterford, on November 20, 1797. He is an ancestor of actor Tyrone Power and is also referred to as Tyrone Power I.
Power is the son of Tyrone Power, reported to be "a minstrel of sorts," by his marriage to Maria Maxwell, whose father had been killed while serving in the British Army during the American Revolutionary War. His father is related to the Powers who are of the Anglo-Irish landed gentry and to George de la Poer Beresford, 1st Marquess of Waterford.
The young Power takes to the stage, achieving prominence throughout the world as an actor and manager. He is well known for acting in such Irish-themed plays as Catherine Gore's King O'Neil (1835), his own St. Patrick's Eve (1837), Samuel Lover's Rory O'More (1837) and The White Horse of the Peppers (1838), Anna Maria Hall's The Groves of Blarney (1838), Eugene Macarthy's Charles O'Malley (1838), and William Bayle Bernard's His Last Legs (1839) and The Irish Attorney (1840). In his discussion of these works, Richard Allen Cave argues that Power, both in his acting as well as his choice of plays, seeks to rehabilitate the Irishman from the derogatory associations with "stage Irishmen."
Power has a number of notable descendants by his wife Anne, daughter of John Gilbert of the Isle of Wight:
- Sir William James Tyrone Power (1819–1911), Commissary General in Chief of the British Army and briefly Agent-General for New Zealand
- Norah Power, who married Dr. Thomas Guthrie
- Sir Tyrone Guthrie, British theatrical director (1900–1971)
- Maurice Henry Anthony O'Reilly Power (1821–1849), trained as a barrister but later took up acting
- Frederick Augustus Dobbyn Nugent Power (1823–1896), civil engineer, left a large estate of £197,000, equivalent to £15.6 million or 28 million US dollars in 2006
- Clara Elizabeth Murray Power (born 1825)
- Mary Jane Power (born 1827)
- Harold Littledale Power (1833–1901), actor, wine merchant, mine agent & engineer
- Tyrone Power, Sr. (1869–1931), English theatre and silent movie star
- Tyrone Power (1914–1958), American Hollywood star of the 1930s to 1950s
- Romina Power (born 1951), American singer and film actress
- Taryn Power (1953–2020), film actress
- Tyrone Power, Jr. (born 1959), American film actor
Power is said to have purchased the land that is later occupied by Madison Square Garden, New York, shortly before his death. The lawyer who holds the papers can not be found so the Power family is unable to claim right to the property.
Power is lost at sea on March 17, 1841, when the SS President disappears without trace in the North Atlantic shortly after departing for England. Anne Power is buried in the churchyard of St. Mary The Virgin Church in High Halden, Kent, England.

By the twenty-first century the world was drowning in its own population. A solution had to be found quickly - and it was, in 'gravi-power'. Wonderful, unending source of power - only the scientists knew that its use was reducing the Earth's distance from the sun at a dangerous rate. But if another planet's gravi-power could harnessed... An expedition was launched to Mars, known to be uninhabited - except that a woman was wandering around its surface who claimed she had come from another galaxy to warn Earth of a terrible menace, and there was a huge poly-hedron of metal emanting a force very much like that of gravipower. Someone else had discovered it! A thousand years ago, or now? Friend, or enemy? (First published 1965)

The genus Monstera is represented in Mexico by nine species, of which five are reported for the region of Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz. During fieldwork between 2014 and 2019 in Los Tuxtlas, we discovered a previously undescribed species belonging to Sect. Marcgraviopsis and consisting of a third species from Mexico with a pendent habit. The new species Monstera guzmanjacobiae, is described taxonomically and illustrated, using color photographs of vegetative and reproductive features in living material. The behavior of flowering coincides with that observed in other species of Monstera. Both nitidulid beetles and drosophilid flies found inside the chamber may be the pollinators of M. guzmanjacobiae.

text: Abstract : We study experimentally different situations of impact of solids onto liquids. We first study the impact at large velocity of a solid sphere in a liquid bath. We observe the sphere's deceleration. We deduce from these laws the force exerted on the sphere by the fluid, and show that a highly sheared foam behaves like a viscous fluid. Such violent impacts also cause air entrapment. We describe the shape of the cavity created in the liquid : tunnel-like in foam, vase-shaped in a viscous oil, it can look like a spiral in water if the projectile is spinning. We then focus on low-velocity impacts on liquid films : soap films or viscous layers spread on solid surfaces. Capillary forces are comparable to the projectiles' inertia. We show that a bead hitting a film can be stucked in the liquid. A foam, containing a large number of such liquid films, can then slow down and trap particles by capillarity.

A YouTube channel that connects researchers who create science communication videos with people who watch them
Despite YouTube being one of the primary go-to sites for people to learn about science, remarkably few researchers use the platform effectively to communicate about their work.
As there is an increasing demand for quality science video content online, there is a need for a new type of science communication platform – Science Showcase is designed to meet this need.
Science Showcase is a YouTube channel designed to connect the best science communication videos from researchers, with people looking for great science content.
We solicit and evaluate science communication videos from researchers (including citizen scientists) , and then post and promote the best of them.
Encouraging and enabling researchers to communicate their work through short, smart,engaging, accurate, watchable, and above all, authentic, videos.
Building a catalogue of awesome YouTube science videos that are made by scientists for anyone curious to find out more about what they know and do.
Science Showcase was created to fill a demand for a platform where researchers could submit and publish science communication videos and reach a wide audience. It was also conceived in direct response to the need for more and higher quality science content on YouTube – driven by a large number of viewers looking for such content
There's also a larger risk-related purpose behind the channel, and that's to increase the quantity and quality of accessible science content on YouTube that informs evidence-based discussions and decisions.
Science Showcase is currently looking for funding in order to scale up.
