Spontaneous Healing – Confronting and Beating Terminal Illness
By Sacha Tarkovsky
Spontaneous healing has been seen by many medical doctors who have seen or heard about at least one patient with a supposed terminal condition such as cancer, and who miraculously recovered.
Spontaneous healing cannot be explained by conventional medicine which perceives 'illness' as separate from 'self'
This means illness can only be treated with outside agents such as surgery, pills, radiation, chemotherapy and a host of other medicines.
This a limited view of illness and other inputs need to be factored into the equation.
Body and mind are linked
Illness and the immune system need to be seen in the context our whole self. Our mind and our body are not separate, but interwoven and work together and influence each other.
The mind is not separate from the body and our moods and personality have an important impact on the healing process.
We have all heard stories of people who died, because they simply lost the will to live.
It is therefore obvious that if we have a will to live, our odds of recovery from any illness will improve dramatically.
The healing process
Improving our diet, our over-all health and our immune system contributes to the healing process and improves and impacts on our chances of recovery.
The process of healing is unique for everyone and no two individuals are exactly alike what works for one person may well not work for another.
You must use the techniques that are right for you. To maximize your body's ability to heal, you must know yourself and build your healing plan around self knowledge.
Our body has great potential to heal itself.
Thousands of cases of 'spontaneous' healing from serious life-threatening disease have been recorded and some people who "should" die didn't.
The ability of some people being able to survive can be put down to spontaneous healing and the influence of the whole self mind and body to combine and fight and overcome insurmountable odds.
With the renewed interest in the relationship between self and illness, many scientists and physicians have begun to study spontaneous healing from untreatable 'diseases.
By doing so they hope to use this knowledge so it can be used to aid the healing process in others.
People who survived untreatable diseases with spontaneous healing tend to have certain things in common listed below:
1. They have a strong belief in their body's ability to heal in spite of sometimes confronting insurmountable odds.
2. They assume responsibility for their health and recovery and don't necessarily belief everything the experts are telling them. Some are told they are guaranteed to die but they refused to accept their fate.
3. Many people undergo a 'spiritual transformation' – and find the joy to want to live more than ever before this re-awakening brings new meaning to their lives. Once spontaneous healing has occurred, they reflect on their illness as a blessing that transformed their mood personality and outlook.
4. People who have undergone spontaneous healing tend to have better more meaningful relationships with others.
5. People who undergo spontaneous healing tend to reassess their lives, making very significant changes to their diet, life-style, aims and aspirations making them feel better and derive more from life.
6. You are what you eat and many people who recover ditch the junk food and bad diet forever, moving towards a more healthy diet and lifestyle.
7. People who have experienced spontaneous healing enjoy life more; maybe only people who have been close to death can really appreciate the gift of life.
Man is more than the sum of the parts of the physical body.
He has both psychological and spiritual components.
The above traits clearly show that the mind is involved in overcoming illness.
Spontaneous healing refers to those situations where the body recovers its wholeness when normal body healing mechanisms have been exhausted and medicine fails, it is here the whole self comes into play:
A union of mind and body working together to achieve the healing process.

 WOW
 WOW and Amen
 I was told I had 2 years to live with stage 4 type 3.
 In my journey I got all PET scan results and have them on my computer. I studied the location of every hot spot, and then focused my energy on those points. I could feel the node that had the cancer. I felt it when it died.
 I said no to 3 protocol surgeries. This statement has to be tempered with the fact that quality of life at age 66 was a priority. This is not right for everyone.
 My sister was ned for 20 years and then had a tumor. The day before the surgery her doc asked for another scan. It was gone.

 healing
 I see a therapist who believes and I believe also the a person has the power to heal their self. The mind is more powerful than is known. Spontaneous healing may be what the medical calls it. Alot of us would say, God healed us. I am going to focus this year on being helpful to my family and putting cancer way back in the background. I pray they will find out why some cancer's come back. Soon will be my 3 year mark. My son is expected back from Iraq this month. Doing a happy dance!

how fast is 50cc
How Fast Is 50cc Scooter? The Answer And More
We have all wondered just how the horsepower of a bike or a scooter translates into speed. The conversion of the horsepower to cubic centimeters (cc) and from cc to displacement and ultimately to the power of the engine and the speed it can generate are all too technical to make immediate sense to a rider.
What a rider can understand about an engine by the speed of the ride, he couldn't quite understand the same with the mechanical details of an engine's prowess. Thereby to know what a 50cc engine is/is not capable of, let's look at how fast is 50cc.
Relationship Between Speed And CC?
Simply put, the power of a motorcycle or a scooter is widely determined by what is known as engine displacement, which in turn is measured in terms of cc (cubic centimeters). Without getting knee deep into technicalities, suffice it to understand that the more cc you have on the engine, the more power it will generate.
Needless to add, that usually more power of the engine results in faster acceleration and higher speeds. Also, more engine power means that it can handle more weight, be it cargo or passenger weight.
how-fast-is-50cc
With the increase in the engine power the physical size of the automobile also increases, as does the cost. Most commonly, engine power of 50cc to 200cc are associated with scooters, while the motorcycles usually operate in engine power more than 250cc.
As you can guess, a 50cc scooter can hardly be expected to burn the rubber on the tracks, it is more suitable for shorter distances moderate speeds.
Read more about the power and cc here.
So, How Fast Is 50cc Scooter?
Let's clear this point once altogether of any doubts; a 50cc scooter will just about get you moving on the road, it will not take you very fast and probably is not the best choice to quench your need for speed.
Categorically put, a 50cc scooter is expected to ride well at a higher speed of 25mph and perhaps a little shaky at the top speed 40mph for a light weight rider riding on a plain. Expecting your 50cc scooter to do more in terms of speed and acceleration is just too demanding.
how-fast-is-50cc
A 50cc scooter is best used to be driven around in the city situated in the plains and not in the hills. A 50cc scooter can give you great mileage on the gas, sometimes even above 100 miles a litre. The 50cc scooters are the least powered automobiles and are most suitable for casual scooting around.
If you are looking to buy a scooter and think 50cc can do the job for you, I highly recommend that you thoroughly assess your requirements before you invest in it.
How To Assess Your Scooter Needs?
Before you take the plunge and bring home a 50cc scooter to be your work horse, you have to examine and analyze if the scooter can take the work load. Let's look at the factors you need to consider to decide if 50cc will do it for you:
POWER
how-fast-is-50cc
Your Weight
The more you weigh the more power you would want your scooter to have to be able to support and carry you. A 50cc scooter is ideally for those who are fleeter on their feet.
Uphill Terrain
If you are more likely to ride up the hill most of the time, you would want to get more power on your engine. If you usually ride in plains, the 50cc will be able to do the trick for you.
Your Riding Speeds
If you ride highways a lot then you usually ride at higher speeds then what a 50cc scooter will give you. A 50cc is more suited to riding in city streets at an ambling speed.
Cargo Or Passengers
If you usually need to ride with cargo or with pillion passengers, you would need to check if your 50cc scooter will have enough space, and also if the power it generates going to be enough.
how-fast-is-50cc
Maneuvering
Riding in the city streets requires you to steer and maneuver the scooter to avoid obstacles and to accelerate and brake as per need. The lightweight of the 50cc usually is great at to maneuver in the slick streets.
Gas Mileage
Due to the limited power that a 50cc scooter expands, it uses littler gas to run. The gas mileage in a 50cc scooter is the best and could be run by the user exceedingly economically. If, one of your primary motivations is to get around at fairly low cost, a 50cc scooter can do that for you, appreciably.
Weight Of The Scooter
Sometimes, an important consideration is the weight of the automobile you want to ride. Many new riders, who are have just learnt or are learning to ride a two-wheeler, or many times young girls who like to ride but are not confident enough to ride on bigger heavier automobiles, prefer to ride a small peppy scooter which is not all that difficult to manhandle if required.
A detailed read on how to chose a 50cc scooter.
ADVANTAGES
how-fast-is-50cc
Conceded that Speed is really not the upside of a 50cc scooter but yet there are things that make this a good choice:
kenda-k270-review
Easy to ride, beginners and pros alike can all ride them with ease.
kenda-k270-review
They are very comfortable to ride and easy to handle.
kenda-k270-review
They are not expensive and are very economical to ride.
kenda-k270-review
In many states, you can ride a 50cc scooter without a driver's license.
DISADVANTAGES
how-fast-is-50cc
We have discussed the most pronounced disadvantage of a 50cc scooter in detail; it's inability to accelerate quickly and an engine which is not very powerful to attain high speeds, carry heavy passengers or climb steep hills.
Conclusion
To conclude, it is quite clear that a 50cc scooter is not a great choice if you are a serious rider and are used to highways and like to take up any terrain that crosses their paths. It may be ideal for younger riders who are new to two-wheelers and for those who ride in the more congested part of the city.
As for the original question of how fast can a 50cc scooter go, the answer is clear - Not too fast.

Frank Lloyd Wright is possibly the most prolific and revered architect in all of American history. He pioneered revolutionary techniques and styles that are replicated countless times across the American architectural landscape. But did Wright build homes in location-efficient places? Today we will explore two of his most well-known works: The Fallingwater House in Stewart Township, Pennsylvania, and the Robie House in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago.
Today these structures are museums rather than anyone's home, but we were still curious to see what a typical family living there would pay for transportation. We at Abogo wouldn't mind living in what must feel like a tree house. But what happens when we eventually have to step outside to work, shop, or meet up with friends? What kind of transportation costs would a typical family living in Fallingwater encounter?
The Fallingwater House, finished in 1937, is a revolutionary piece of organic architecture that integrates the structure of a man-made building with the brilliant resonance of its natural surroundings.
Architectural lore is that Wright designed the house in one sitting of less than three hours, which is remarkable given the international accreditation it has since received. Let's take a look at the current monthly transportation costs a resident could expect.
Given an average gas price in the region of $3.50/gallon, transportation costs would average nearly $1,250/month. That's more than a 20 percent increase in the cost in 2000.
This high monthly average is due to a number of factors, stemming from its location. The Fallingwater House was built as a rural weekend retreat, and to this day it remains in a very rural area. Stewart Township has a population density of only about 15 people per square mile and does not have public transit for the region. Walking and biking are certainly pleasant given the spectacular scenery; however, the nearest grocery store is over six miles away. Residents of Fallingwater and their neighbors may want to invest in fuel-efficient cars to keep transportation costs as low as possible.
The Robie House is a similarly revered work, completed by Wright in 1910. Located right next to the University of Chicago, it is a prime example of the Prairie Style of architecture. However, the building has faced the threat of demolition multiple times. One was so serious that a 90-year-old Wright visited the site to protest. Thankfully it is now a Chicago Landmark, which protects the building from demolition, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust maintains the building.
Let's take a look at the transportation costs one could expect living in the Robie House.
Despite higher gas prices in Chicago, $794/month in transportation costs is markedly better than the cost of getting around if you lived in Fallingwater. The increase in transportation costs for Robie House over the past decade is a relatively modest 14 percent.
Chicago has a population density of 11,864 people per square mile, which provides both the resources and incentives for efficient public transit options. A 30-day pass on the CTA, which will take you anywhere in Chicago and even Evanston to the north, is only $86. Likewise, there are many businesses and amenities within a short distance, making walking and biking to destinations much more feasible. Having options other than the car makes average transportation costs less reliant on gas prices, keeping the average more stable over time.
What's your favorite Frank Lloyd Wright home? Do you think transportation costs there are more similar to Fallingwater House or Robie House? Plug the address into Abogo and let us know what you find out!

Frederick Starr: Anthropologist Lost from the History Books
You probably haven't heard of Frederick Starr. Like his contemporary Franz Boas, Starr was an anthropologist coming to fame while the discipline of anthropology was still being formed. Throughout his career, Starr studied people and cultures on three different continents, and still found time to make a name for himself as a lecturer at the University of Chicago. But unlike Boas—who is considered the father of American Anthropology—you won't find Starr's name in many textbooks. The tale of how Frederick Starr was nearly forgotten is one full of controversy and ideology.
Starr's Early Life and Career
Frederick Starr was born in 1858 in Auburn, New York, to the Reverend Frederick Starr Jr. and Helen Mills Starr. As a child, Starr was a strong student and an avid collector of fossils and minerals. He explored that interest further at the University of Rochester, where he studied geology; two years later, he transferred to Lafayette College in Pennsylvania and graduated in 1882. He received a doctorate in geology from Lafayette College in 1885.
In the late 1800s, anthropology was still a new and growing discipline, so Starr didn't study it formally. It wasn't until after his schooling, while teaching at Coe College, that Starr discovered his interest in the subject. He conducted both ethnographic and archaeological fieldwork among the local Sauk and Fox Indian tribes and reputedly taught the first anthropology course in Iowa while at Coe. It's not clear who or what specifically spurred Starr's interest in anthropology, but he pursued it avidly, leaving his studies of geology behind. Following his work at Coe College, Starr held several short-term positions, including working with the ethnological collection at the American Museum of Natural History, before finally accepting a long-term faculty position at the University of Chicago in 1892.
During his time at the University of Chicago, Starr became a very influential public speaker, frequently giving lectures on anthropological subjects that were open to the public through the University's extension program. After attending an extension course about prehistoric and primitive art, W.R. French, the director of the Art Institute of Chicago at the time, wrote that Starr's lectures were "both authoritative and agreeable," and that "Professor Starr has eminently the art of making scientific truth interesting to intelligent but unprofessional academics."
An Anthropologist is Born
According to Donald McVicker, author of Frederick Starr: Popularizer of Anthropology, Public Intellectual, and Genuine Eccentric, Starr engaged in an incredibly varied anthropological career at the turn of the 20th century. He conducted notable research in Mexico, among many Native American tribes in the United States, with the Ainu people of Japan, and in several regions of Africa.
The World's Fairs that took place in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries seemed to provide Starr with the perfect opportunities to put his work on display. Much to his dismay, however, Starr was not allowed an influential position at the famous World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. He was excluded by better known anthropologists like Boas and Frederic Ward Putnam, director of Harvard's Peabody Museum. Starr was commissioned to collect data about and artifacts from the Eastern Cherokee people in North Carolina for Putnam and Boas, but contributed little else to this fair.
At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis in 1904, however, Starr's work made a much bigger splash. The anthropologist brought nine Ainu people and a translator back with him from Japan to be part of an exhibit at the fair. These Ainu, members of a Japanese indigenous group from Hokkaido in the northern part of the country, were to be displayed as part of a literal representation of the evolutionary stages of humanity towards civilization; along with several other indigenous groups assembled by other anthropologists, they were on display as "barbarous and semi-barbarous peoples." While this is unquestionably offensive to today's sensibilities, the visitor response to the exhibit at the time was overwhelmingly positive, as most people had never before heard of the Ainu and were intrigued by their appearance and practices. In a 1993 article about the Ainu exhibit, anthropologist James W. Vanstone reports the reactions from writers and visitors to the exhibit:
One enthusiastic writer referred to the Ainu as "mysterious little Japanese primitives" and noted that visitors were impressed by their cleanliness and polite manners, but somewhat disappointed that they were no "man-eaters, dog-eaters or wild men."
In addition to contributing to these World's Fairs, Starr produced several publications in conjunction with his fieldwork. These publications included many scholarly and other articles, as well as books like The Truth about the Congo, about his studies in that region; Indians of Southern Mexico: An Ethnographic Album; and In Indian Mexico: A Narrative of Travel and Labor, about the performance and findings of his extensive work with Indian tribes in Mexico.
Starr's Methods and Misconduct in Mexico
His appearance in St. Louis with the Ainu may have been Starr's most publicly recognized work, but if he is remembered at all today, it's for his fieldwork in Mexico. Starr recalls his purpose there in In Indian Mexico:
The work I planned to do among these indian towns was threefold: 1. The measurement of one hundred men and twenty-five women in each population, fourteen measurements being taken upon each subject; 2. The making of pictures,—portraits, dress, occupations, customs, buildings, and landscapes; 3. The making of plaster busts of five individuals in each tribe.
The primary goals in making such recordings were to observe the differences between various Mexican tribes and to establish the placement of such people, and their race and culture, on the same scale that he had placed the Ainu, from barbarous to civilized. It was assumed at the time that there were physical characteristics, such as cranial shape and size, that could mark such distinctions between races (a theory that has long since been disproved).
In his book, Starr refers to the Mexican people he is studying as "ignorant, timid, and suspicious." He also makes regular references to them being too drunk to allow their measurements to be taken. All of these characteristics assigned to these Mexican Indians by Starr explained, in his point of view, the difficulty he often had in securing subjects for measurement, and justified the forceful methods he felt compelled to use. Starr took advantage of the fact that prisoners could not refuse his requests to measure them, and regularly photographed and measured imprisoned subjects for his work. What's more, if there were individuals he wished to measure who did not acquiesce, he would threaten them with arrest and jail time so that they could no longer refuse. The authorities did not object to these methods, instead providing support for Starr by collecting subjects and keeping order. Starr even recounts a specific incident where policemen stopped a bullfight in progress in order to obtain a young man taking part in the fight for Starr's research.
Starr Fading from View
Over time, Starr's brutish, unethical methods and offensive ideas became questionable in the eyes of the anthropological community. The theories of his contemporary Boas, however, began to amass a great deal of support from other anthropologists and academics.
Boas, born and educated in Germany, moved to the United States in 1887 and proceeded to make substantial contributions to the methodology of American anthropology. By incorporating the methods of natural science into the discipline of anthropology, Boas emphasized the importance of conducting research before developing theories, as well as approaching studies in the most ethical and unbiased ways possible. What's more, he developed the modern interpretation of culture, viewing it as learned behavior and a product of a people's history, rather than a hierarchical measurement of civilization that would place the western world on top.
While most anthropologists, inspired by Boas, began to recognize the people they studied as part of the larger, equal human race, Starr continued to regard them as primitive and inferior, demonstrated by his attitude towards his subjects in Mexico. Soon, Starr's methods of fieldwork were widely considered unethical and his ideas about culture outdated.
Starr's charisma and ability as a speaker managed to keep him relevant in public education spheres toward the end of his career. In this capacity, Starr overshadowed Boas, who preferred not to address the general themes of anthropology necessary in public lecturing and was nervous about his skill in speaking English, which was not his first language. The academic discipline of anthropology, though, became dominated by Boas' methods and, over the years, Frederick Starr and his methods were phased out. Today, his work is rarely read, or even mentioned, in discussions or classes on anthropological history.
After 31 years at the University of Chicago, Starr retired from his post in 1923. True to form, he continued to travel the globe and engage in public speaking events until his death; he died unexpectedly of pneumonia while in Japan in 1933.

How to Install the Produce Preserver in your KitchenAid Refrigerator
The produce preserver absorbs ethylene, to slow the ripening process of many produce items. As a result, certain produce items will stay fresher longer. Ethylene production and sensitivity varies depending on the type of fruit or vegetable. To preserve freshness, it is best to separate produce with sensitivity to ethylene from fruits that produce moderate to high amounts of ethylene.

A bellmouth, also called a suction bellmouth in connection with centrifugal pumps, is a nozzle-shaped inlet casing component (see Fitting) often employed with vertical tubular casing pumps.
The flow acceleration resultant of the bellmouth's shape minimises irregularities in the velocity distribution. Even velocity distribution ensures a uniform approach flow (see Inlet conditions) this is especially important for high specific speed pumps (see Specific speed)
In the case of vortex flow) at the inlet, a flow straightener should be fitted to provide a degree of flow straightening. See Fig. 1 Bellmouth
If pre-swirl control has been provided downstream, there is no need to fit a flow straightener in the bellmouth. See Fig. 2 Bellmouth

Program Notes
Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella (French: Un flambeau, Jeannette, Isabelle) is a Christmas carol which originated from the Provence region of France in the 17th century. The song is usually notated in 3/8 time.
The carol was first published in France, and was subsequently translated into English in the 18th century. The song was originally not meant to be sung at Christmas; it was considered dance music for French nobility.
It seems likely that the melody was written by Charpentier, derived from the air à boire Qu'ils sont doux, bouteille jolie from the now lost Le médecin malgré lui.
The song title refers to two female farmhands who have found the baby and his mother in a stable. Excited by this discovery, they run to a nearby village to tell the inhabitants, who rush to see the new arrivals. Visitors to the stable are urged to keep their voices quiet, so the newborn can enjoy his dreams.
To this day, on Christmas Eve in the Provence region, children dressed as shepherds and milkmaids carry torches and candles while singing the carol, on their way to Midnight Mass. - Program Note from Wikipedia

Five Methods:Determining the ProblemPressure MethodHeat MethodSoftware MethodHardware Method
Little blemishes on your computer screen might be driving you crazy! If your LCD screen has a point on the screen that is "stuck" (either it's always bright or always dark), it is potentially possible to fix it on your own. Start at Step 1 to DIY fix your own LCD monitor's stuck pixel
Ad
Method 1 of 5: Determining the Problem
 1. 1
 Figure out if the pixel is stuck or dead. A stuck pixel usually shows a color. A dead pixel is solid white (for TN panels) or solid black. Try to determine whether the pixel is merely stuck, or if it's completely dead.
 Ad
 2. 2
 Send the screen back to the manufacturer (optional). If the pixel is dead, your best bet is to cash in on your screen's warranty and send it back to the manufacturer.
 - If the warranty on the screen has expired, you can attempt the following methods. Be aware, though, that they're meant primarily to remedy stuck pixels.
 Ad
Method 2 of 5: Pressure Method
 1. 1
 Turn on the computer and LCD screen.
 2. 2
 Display a black image, which will show the stuck pixel very clearly against the background. It is very important that you are showing a black image and not just a blank signal, as you need the backlighting of the LCD to be illuminating the back of the panel.
 3. 3
 Find a narrow object with a blunt, narrow end. A Sharpie marker with the cap on, an extremely dull pencil, a plastic stylus, or the end of a makeup brush would all work for this.
 - Before you proceed further read the warnings at the end of this article. Physically rubbing your monitor might actually make things worse.
 4. 4
 Use the rounded end of the object to gently tap the stuck pixel. Don't tap hard to start with, just enough to see a quick white glow under the point of contact. If you didn't see a white glow, then you didn't tap hard enough, so use just slightly more pressure this time.
 5. 5
 Tap harder. Increase the pressure on the taps gradually for 5-10 taps until the pixel rights itself.
 6. 6
 Apply pressure instead. If your tapping hasn't yielded any results, grab a damp (not wet) washcloth or paper towel. Fold the fabric so that you don't accidentally tear it, and hold it over the stuck pixel, and apply gentle but consistent pressure with the same object you used for tapping.
 - Try to apply pressure only to the stuck pixel and not the surrounding area.
 7. 7
 Check your results. Display a white image (such as an empty text document, or sending your browser to about:blank and going to fullscreen with F11) to verify that you haven't accidentally caused more damage than you fixed. If you fixed the stuck pixel, your whole screen should be white.
 Ad
Method 3 of 5: Heat Method
 1. 1
 Turn on the computer and the LCD screen.
 2. 2
 Dampen a washcloth with water that's as hot as possible. If you can, heat water on the stove or microwave until it's just beginning to show air bubbles at the bottom of the container. Put the washcloth in a colander, and dump the hot water over the washcloth.
 3. 3
 Put on gloves, or cover your hands with oven mitts. You don't want to burn your fingers in the next steps.
 4. 4
 Put the hot washcloth in a plastic sandwich bag. Make sure the seal is completely closed.
 5. 5
 Hold the plastic bag with the hot washcloth up against the stuck pixel. Hold the plastic bag up to the screen such that the area you're using doesn't have a seam on it, because the seam may break open, and hot water may damage your computer. As much as you can, try to only focus the heat on the stuck pixel.
 6. 6
 "Massage" the pixel in slow circles. Move the bag around the pixel a bit in a massage-like motion. The heat generated will cause the liquid crystal to flow more easily into the areas that were not formerly filled.

Tips
 - If these instructions don't work, try to get the monitor replaced through your manufacturer. If your monitor falls under the specifications of replacement, get in contact with the manufacturer to set up replacement plans.
Warnings
 - LCD Displays are composed of multiple layers. Each layer is separated by very small glass spacers. These spacers and the individual layers are very delicate. Rubbing an LCD panel with a finger or even a cloth can cause the spacers to break and cause further issues beyond the original pixel fault. As such most repair technicians with service certifications are trained not to use the rub or tap methods - use them at your own risk.
 - Some people claim that touching the screen can cause more pixels to become stuck, although this has not been proven.
 - Most LCD manufacturer warranties for LCD displays will cover replacement of the panel when the display reaches a certain number of pixel anomalies. However, these warranties generally will not cover damage caused by rubbing the screen, so use extreme caution and contact the manufacturer before proceeding to see if you qualify for repair or replacement.
 - Do not attempt to open the monitor. This will void the warranty, and the manufacturer will not replace it.
 - Beware of websites that let you download screensavers. Many have viruses that are much worse than a stuck pixel.
 - Make sure you don't get any electrical equipment wet, or it may break.

Similar to Nautical Key Chains Models
Used since the 13th century in battles throughout the world, the cannon has become a symbol of strength and superiority, drastically changing the course of history. As with all other firearms the cannon relies on gunpowder, first developed in China in the 9th century, to launch its deadly projectiles. Reproduced on these solid brass key rings the cannon became the most important weapon in nautical warfare during the Age of Sail. Between the mid-1500s and mid-1800s the cannons of these brass key rings were used primarily by the British and French fleets, battling over sea as they would on land. Although various existing ships were initially fit with cannons on deck, in the late 16th century the first warship was created, built for speed and maneuverability, and outfitted with a row of cannons along each side. Like these brass key rings these cannons were solid and sturdy, capable of firing extremely heavy shot with unbelievable force. Aboard warships the broadside became a favored tactic at sea; as cannons lacked extreme accuracy ships would line up hull to hull and fire with repeated coordinated attacks. During the War of Spanish Succession, particularly Queen Anne's War over the control of North America, many sailors learned the power of the cannon. After the war ended many of these sailors continued their lives at sea, raiding ships and becoming pirates. Using cannons, such as the ones on these brass key chains, pirates came to be feared by naval and private ships alike. Though the cannon possessed an unmatched destructive capability, many pirates used it as a means of terrorism, blasting off rounds to shock their victims into submission, making boarding ships easier while also preserving the merchandise. The cannons on these brass key chains are an enduring part of history, used still aboard ships of war, and becoming a symbol of true might.

Can Life360 Track Or See Your Text Messages?
avatar
Aug 12, 2022 • Filed to: Virtual Location Solutions • Proven solutions
Life360 is a family locator application that brings people closer to their family members with location sharing and place alerts, but people misunderstand its features and compare it to other spying apps and wonder if you can track text messages with it. It is a free application that allows users to track the location of their loved ones with text messages and one-tap directions. However, you cannot simply answer whether it can see your text messages with a "yes" or "no."
Life360 uses real-time GPS data to notify your group members about your location as a location-sharing app. It also tracks driving habits and the user's safety while on the road. In addition, you don't have to worry about privacy; people outside your circle can't view or access your location or texts. Here we will answer your various questions about Life360, including, can it see internet history, read or show text, etc. You will also learn how to stop life360 from seeing your location data or texts.
Part 1: Is Life360 a spy app?
You might have learned from your friends or social media about various applications that allow you to track other devices, view text messages, and track everything someone does on their device. No one, including your circle members, can spy on what you do on your devices, like checking your internet history or reading texts. Although life360 has many tracking features similar to spy apps, it only provides basic location and text tracking under specific conditions. For people who don't use Life360 for privacy reasons, what can life360 monitor? Can Life360 see your internet history, or can Life360 see who you text? Here is a brief about everything the app can do and monitor on your phone.
Part 2: What can you do with Life360?
Life360 is a mobile application that provides family security services that you can download and use for free on android and IOS. Its basic features include location and driving safety tracking as the application runs in the background. In addition, the application notifies group members if someone in the group is not driving responsibly. Users can also pay for premium perks to access more safety and tracking features for the security of their loved ones.
There are many valuable features in the life360 app, such as device tracking and locator, which allows you to track your stolen or lost devices. It also allows users to track what other circle members like to do, which route they prefer, and which locations they usually visit. Unfortunately, the app only runs when the location services on any device are turned on, and the user permits it to run in the background. It does not work when the device is turned off, or its battery is dead.
The paid features of life360 notify circle members when you text while driving. Even if the user turns this feature off, it will still show that you are doing something on your phone while driving.
One of the best features of Life360 is the panic button which allows users to send out mass emergency texts to their circle members with their GPS coordinates if they are in danger.
Part 3: Can Life360 see your texts?
Although it uses some tracking features, there are limitations on what the app can or cannot do. If you are wondering can life360 see your texts, then the answer is "yes"; the app can only see and track your texts under one condition. As Life360 links group members' devices, it can read texts sent between members of any group. All circle members get notifications when your app is active. Some applications allow users to view the text on someone's device, like their spouse or partner, but life360 does not compromise the privacy of its users and only shows limited information without any way of spying on others.
Part 4: How to stop Life360 from seeing your location data?
Life360 can only have limited access to your texts, but it tracks your location as long as the app runs in the background and the location services are on. For those of you who wonder, does life360 alert you when someone checks your locations? The answer is no because no android or IOS application has that feature. So, all group members can track your location or see your location history all the time. Here is how you can stop life360 from seeing your location.
Dr.Fone - Virtual Location is a location changer application that teleports your GPS location to anywhere you want with a single click. It is the best tool to fool all location tracking-based android or IOS applications, including Life360. Users can fake their location by stimulating GPS location with a joystick and drawing a fake route on a 360-degree map. It also allows you to play location-based games on your device without moving a single step.

Conclusion
I hope reading this article helped relieve your concerns about the Life360 app. Can you track text messages with life360 "yes" the app tracks your location through texts but can life360 read texts, or can life360 see who you text, "no" because it cannot monitor all your device's actions? The device can see if you are texting others. Still, it cannot store any data, so you can privately communicate with people inside or outside your circle. But you can stop the app from tracking your location for safety purposes, so you have to use Dr.Fone - Virtual Location to trick location-based applications or change your GPS coordinates or location history with one click.

The Pond 28 is a small, flat-suction submersible pump. Due to its small size and the ability to pump with a minimum water level, this pump is ideal for pumping away puddles. Such a pump is also called a roofers pump because they are often used by roofers to pump flat roofs dry. Of course, this pump can also be used for other purposes, such as pumping away a small layer of water in a basement.
The Pond 28 can pump a well or a cellar dry, so that no more than a few millimetres of water remain. If necessary, the remaining water can be removed with a mop. The pump has a diameter of 14,5 centimetres, is 15,5 centimetres and weighs only 1.5 kilograms. This makes the pump easy to store and carry.

Just re-define it.
First, take a look at the amazing drop in poverty seen in Delaware schools this year:
WOW!! DOUBLE WOW!! 22,967 Delaware children escaped poverty this year!!!
That's a 19.5% drop in low income children!!! Amazing!!! Secretary Murphy for President!!!
Uh, what? You're kidding, right? Kids Count has child poverty heading in the other direction?
Well, don't let a little thing called FACTS deter the Delaware Department of Education. Secretary Murphy's people understand that in order to control the conversation you have to control the definition of the terms.
So they changed the definition of "low income" to wipe poverty as a factor in school performance.
Here's the evidence:
In plain English, being on Medicaid or qualifying for Free or Reduced Lunch no longer identifies children as being "low income."
And in case you were wondering, here's the income requirement to be covered by Medicaid in Delaware:
So while the Federal Government would automatically conclude that any child qualifying for Medicaid was "low income," the DE DOE says, "No Way!"
This is simply unacceptable. And the fact that the bureaucrats are getting away with it without being generally called on it is also unacceptable on our part.
It's truly time for some changes in Dover.

Optional Processes
The optional sigma-algebra, {\mathcal{O}}, was defined earlier in these notes as the sigma-algebra generated by the adapted and right-continuous processes. Then, a stochastic process is optional if it is {\mathcal{O}}-measurable. However, beyond the definition, very little use was made of this concept. While right-continuous adapted processes are optional by construction, and were used throughout the development of stochastic calculus, there was no need to make use of the general definition. On the other hand, optional processes are central to the theory of optional section and projection. So, I will now look at such processes in more detail, starting with the following alternative, but equivalent, ways of defining the optional sigma-algebra. Throughout this post we work with respect to a complete filtered probability space {(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\{\mathcal{F}_t\}_{t\in{\mathbb R}_+},{\mathbb P})}, and all stochastic processes will be assumed to be either real-valued or to take values in the extended reals {\bar{\mathbb R}={\mathbb R}\cup\{\pm\infty\}}.
Theorem 1 The following collections of sets and processes each generate the same sigma-algebra on {{\mathbb R}_+\times\Omega}.
{{[\tau,\infty)}: {\tau} is a stopping time}.
 - {Z1_{[\tau,\infty)}} as {\tau} ranges over the stopping times and Z over the {\mathcal{F}_\tau}-measurable random variables.
 - The cadlag adapted processes.
 - The right-continuous adapted processes.
 - The optional-sigma algebra was previously defined to be generated by the right-continuous adapted processes. However, any of the four collections of sets and processes stated in Theorem 1 can equivalently be used, and the definitions given in the literature do vary. So, I will restate the definition making use of this equivalence.
 Definition 2 The optional sigma-algebra, {\mathcal{O}}, is the sigma-algebra on {{\mathbb R}_+\times\Omega} generated by any of the collections of sets/processes in Theorem 1.
 A stochastic process is optional iff it is {\mathcal{O}}-measurable.

 Optional Projection For Right-Continuous Processes
 In filtering theory, we have a filtered probability space {(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\{\mathcal{F}_t\}_{t\ge 0},{\mathbb P})} and a signal process {\{X_t\}_{t\in{\mathbb R}_+}}. The sigma-algebra {\mathcal{F}_t} represents the collection of events which are observable up to and including time t. The process X is not assumed to be adapted, so need not be directly observable. For example, we may only be able to measure an observation process {Z_t=X_t+\epsilon_t}, which incorporates some noise {\epsilon_t}, and generates the filtration {\mathcal{F}_t}, so is adapted. The problem, then, is to compute an estimate for {X_t} based on the observable data at time t. Looking at the expected value of X conditional on the observable data, we obtain the following estimate for X at each time {t\in{\mathbb R}_+},
 \displaystyle Y_t={\mathbb E}[X_t\;\vert\mathcal{F}_t]{\rm\ \ (a.s.)} (1)
 The process Y is adapted. However, as (1) only defines Y up to a zero probability set, it does not give us the paths of Y, which requires specifying its values simultaneously at the uncountable set of times in {{\mathbb R}_+}. Consequently, (1) does not tell us the distribution of Y at random times. So, it is necessary to specify a good version for Y.
 Optional projection gives a uniquely defined process which satisfies (1), not just at every time t in {{\mathbb R}_+}, but also at all stopping times. The full theory of optional projection for jointly measurable processes requires the optional section theorem. As I will demonstrate, in the case where X is right-continuous, optional projection can be done by more elementary methods.
 Throughout this post, it will be assumed that the underlying filtered probability space satisfies the usual conditions, meaning that it is complete and right-continuous, {\mathcal{F}_{t+}=\mathcal{F}_t}. Stochastic processes are considered to be defined up to evanescence. That is, two processes are considered to be the same if they are equal up to evanescence. In order to apply (1), some integrability requirements need to imposed on X. Often, to avoid such issues, optional projection is defined for uniformly bounded processes. For a bit more generality, I will relax this requirement a bit and use prelocal integrability. Recall that, in these notes, a process X is prelocally integrable if there exists a sequence of stopping times {\tau_n} increasing to infinity and such that
 \displaystyle 1_{\{\tau_n > 0\}}\sup_{t < \tau_n}\lvert X_t\rvert (2)
 is integrable. This is a strong enough condition for the conditional expectation (1) to exist, not just at each fixed time, but also whenever t is a stopping time. The main result of this post can now be stated.
 Theorem 1 (Optional Projection) Let X be a right-continuous and prelocally integrable process. Then, there exists a unique right-continuous process Y satisfying (1).
 Uniqueness is immediate, as (1) determines Y, almost-surely, at each fixed time, and this is enough to uniquely determine right-continuous processes up to evanescence. Existence of Y is the important part of the statement, and the proof will be left until further down in this post.
 The process defined by Theorem 1 is called the optional projection of X, and is denoted by {{}^{\rm o}\!X}. That is, {{}^{\rm o}\!X} is the unique right-continuous process satisfying
 \displaystyle {}^{\rm o}\!X_t={\mathbb E}[X_t\;\vert\mathcal{F}_t]{\rm\ \ (a.s.)} (3)
 for all times t. In practise, the process X will usually not just be right-continuous, but will also have left limits everywhere. That is, it is cadlag.
 Theorem 2 Let X be a cadlag and prelocally integrable process. Then, its optional projection is cadlag.
 A simple example of optional projection is where {X_t} is constant in t and equal to an integrable random variable U. Then, {{}^{\rm o}\!X_t} is the cadlag version of the martingale {{\mathbb E}[U\;\vert\mathcal{F}_t]}. (more…)

 Feller Processes
 The definition of Markov processes, as given in the previous post, is much too general for many applications. However, many of the processes which we study also satisfy the much stronger Feller property. This includes Brownian motion, Poisson processes, Lévy processes and Bessel processes, all of which are considered in these notes. Once it is known that a process is Feller, many useful properties follow such as, the existence of cadlag modifications, the strong Markov property, quasi-left-continuity and right-continuity of the filtration. In this post I give the definition of Feller processes and prove the existence of cadlag modifications, leaving the further properties until the next post.
 The definition of Feller processes involves putting continuity constraints on the transition function, for which it is necessary to restrict attention to processes lying in a topological space {(E,\mathcal{T}_E)}. It will be assumed that E is locally compact, Hausdorff, and has a countable base (lccb, for short). Such spaces always possess a countable collection of nonvanishing continuous functions {f\colon E\rightarrow{\mathbb R}} which separate the points of E and which, by Lemma 6 below, helps us construct cadlag modifications. Lccb spaces include many of the topological spaces which we may want to consider, such as {{\mathbb R}^n}, topological manifolds and, indeed, any open or closed subset of another lccb space. Such spaces are always Polish spaces, although the converse does not hold (a Polish space need not be

The finest fortress
Ksar Lemsa, Tunisia
Ksar Lemsa, Tunisia
Ksar Lemsa, Tunisia
Ksar Lemsa is perhaps my favourite Byzantine remain of Tunisia. The fortress here is so well-preserved that you can see how the typical top of the towers looked like. Gun slits are visible all the way tot the top.
The fortress stood right in the middle of an regionally important town dating back to Roman times. The town controlled trade routes between the south and the north.
I have no record of the town's name, Ksar is all Arabic, meaning fortress, but "Lemsa" may be originating from an ancient name.
The fortress dates back to the 6th century, but employed stones from preceding buildings. Three of its walls are almost completely intact, while only the northeastern tower is equally well-preserved. Take a look at some of the stones in front of the eastern wall (the worst), they suggest more about the functions of the ancient town than the areas around the fortress where the town was.
The fortress is 29 metres by 31 metres, towers about 12 metres high. Walls were about 7 metres high. Entrance was to the north (second photo).
There are some modest remains of an amphitheatre on the other side of the road.
Ksar Lemsa lies in an area without hotels or set-menu restaurants. The nearest are in Siliana 50 km west. Other options are actually as far away as Dougga 100 km northwest or Kairouan 75 km southeast.
Getting out here involves arranging your own transport. If you start from one of the places above, get public transport to Bargou or Siliana, from there you hire a taxi for the ride. Make sure that this trip include Siressi (Oum el Abouab) 20 km north. If you drive, head for Ouesslatia from the south, Bargou from northwest or Oum el Abouab northeast, then ask for directions, people will know. Roads are good.

wikiHow to Get a Mamod Steam Engine Going
Problems in getting your Mamod engine running properly? Whether you have a Stationary Engine or a Mobile Engine learn how to get up a head of steam and see your engine run just as it should.
Steps
 1. 1
 Buy a Mamod engine. These can be purchased cheaply on eBay and if you look there over a period of a month you will see many different types in various states of repair. They range from "ready for restoration" to "immaculate unused".
 2. 2
 Decide upon either one that remains in a fixed position, known as a Stationary Engine or one that moves along the ground known as a Mobile Engine.
 3. 3
 Know that there are some basic things you now need to do starting with "getting it running" like getting water and fuel.
 4. 4
 And always - ALWAYS take your alcohol or dry fuel engine outside to run it. The possibility of accidental fire in the home is just too great and easily avoided.
 5. 5
 Make sure that water is to be carefully poured into the boiler through the hole in the top where the Safety Valve is located. Do not fill the boiler. If there is an overflow hole on the end opposite to the chimney. Leave this open while filling and stop when water comes out. Use HOT water to minimise start time and maximise running time.
 6. 6
 On the boiler back plate, either look at the Water Level Glass or as with older engines, the water level hole, and stop filling when the correct level is reached. There needs to be some air space left in the boiler above the water to allow pressure to build up.
 7. 7
 If you have a Water Level Plug type, this is the time to screw it, finger tight, back into the hole. Make sure all the filler and overflow holes have their caps screwed back into place before fueling.
 8. 8
 Fuel next. Now let's look at what to do about fueling up. There are two types of fuel. Present day fuel is in solid tablet form which are placed into a burner tray. It may be necessary to cut these tablets down in size to fit your particular burner as they do differ in size in accordance with the boiler size. Older models have spirit burners which contain either non replaceable gauze or replaceable wicks that soak up their liquid fuel.
 9. 9
 The liquid you need here is Methylated Spirit or methyl alcohol. With old type rectangular shaped gauze style burners you should pour an amount of Methylated Spirit directly into the top of the burner. The burners were sized to be filled until you can just see the alcohol on top of the gauze. There will then be enough fuel for a good run of the boiler, but not enough to boil it dry. Do not refill the burner without topping up the boiler again. If you have an even older type of engine it will have a round tank burner with wicks numbering between one to three. Again, just fill up the tank through the filler hole and refit the brass screw cap finger tight.
 10. 10
 Now you are nearly ready to fire up. But wait, you need to squirt oil onto the moving parts. To put it simply, any moving parts that are in friction contact with another need some oil. You can but Mamod oil although any oil is better than no oil! Castor oil is one of the most effective options available. You can use car engine oil, handyman oil or the real thing. Don't use grease as it will not flow and so will not lubricate fully.
 11. 11
 Now check that your Safety Valve (and Water Level Plug) is tight and your water level is correct. Spin the flywheel using your finger to get the oil around a bit and to ensure everything runs smoothly.
 12. 12
 Place the burner close to the engine and ready to insert under the boiler. Just practice this once before light up. And then, the action begins! Using a box of matches, ignite the burner and using the burner handle, place the burning burner neatly under the boiler. From now on, do not leaving your engine until the burning process is completed and the hot boiler is not in harms way.
 13. 13
 Gradually the water will begin to get hot and then raise a head of steam. Steam will begin to hiss in the area of the piston. Now you can gently flick round the flywheel. It revolves in a clockwise direction as seen when looking at the piston side of the engine.
 14. 14
 Everything should now be running smoothly and you can let it run until the fuel runs out. If you want to stop it running very temporarily you may place your finger into the flywheel to restrict its movement. If you do that, the Safety Valve will fizz with boiling steam and water until you allow the flywheel to run again. This is not a dangerous thing to do and can be quite fun but just be wary of the very hot spitting steam!
 15. 15
 When you have had enough of running the engine, drain the water and just put it away - clean it if you want to but it's not absolutely necessary.

 Tips
 - Some suppliers offer a free advice service which can be a lifeline to new Mamod model enthusiasts.
 - When considering whether to buy brand new or secondhand you need to decide if you want a challenge or a ready to run model. As with most purchases, the more you spend, generally the better the value for money.
 - A word of wisdom and experience: Be prepared to be disappointed with your purchase from eBay but don't lose heart because 90% of non working engines can be economically restored without any experience. If your engine turns out OK you have got yourself a lovely model like kids enjoyed over 50 years ago.
 - Mamod parts do wear out and so if you find the Safety Valve does not allow adequate steam pressure, or the Piston/cylinder Assembly is losing excessive steam it will be necessary to replace the offending part. New parts can be cheaply obtained from Internet web sites and eBay sellers.
 - Any faulty or broken part or even a new boiler can still be easily obtained on line.
 - Most engines exchange owners on eBay. You will get pretty good value for money with some engines being rare and immaculate. You will get what you pay for and will always need to spend at least £35 to get something that is ready to run or maybe needs a small amount spent on it to make it run perfectly.
 Warnings
 - Make sure that when you refill the burner device (solid or liquid) that you always refill the water boiler. If not, you could damage the rubber washers on the Safety Valve in which case a new valve will be required. The soldered joints in the boiler bushes could also melt, which would need skilled repair to make the engine serviceable again.
 - Take care not to look down at the Safety Valve - it will take your eye out if it breaks! There has been at least one instance of a Safety Valve hitting the ceiling.
 - When refilling with meths, make sure the fire is out before beginning to pour, which is not always easy if the machine is being used outside as the flame is virtually invisible in sunlight. In 1976, there was a dreadful accident when a child was seriously burned while refueling an unextinguished burner. Mamod's sales collapsed after the case was featured on the "That's Life" TV consumer programme, this is what led to the meths burners being replaced with solid fuel burners now supplied.
 - Be careful when using Methylated Spirit or methyl alcohol because it easily spills and so can catch fire and burn where not intended. Anything that got wet with alcohol while you were filling the burner should be moved far away before you light up. The fumes of the alcohol can collect in a calm and enclosed space, so always light up in a well ventilated place.
 - Do not let young children near a hot engine because little fingers can get hurt or in the worst case, burned.

Candomblé Ketu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For the city in Ecuador frequently misspelled as Queto, see Quito.
Candomblé Ketu (or Queto in Portuguese) is the largest and most influential branch (nation) of Candomblé, a religion practiced in Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. Its liturgical language, known as Iorubá or Nagô, is a dialect of Yoruba.
Queto is a system of beliefs that merges the Yoruba mythology (brought to the New World by Yoruba slaves) with Christianity and Indigenous American traditions.[1] Queto developed in the Portuguese Empire. Yoruba slaves carried with them various religious customs, including a trance and divination system for communicating with their ancestors and spirits, animal sacrifice, and sacred drumming and dance.[2][3] Its origins are entwined with the religious and beneficent brotherhoods (irmandades) organized by the Roman Catholic Church among ethnic Yoruba slaves; the Order of Our Lady of the Good Death (Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte), for women, and the Order of Our Lord of the Martyrdom (Nosso Senhor dos Martírios), for men.

Workflow mapping can be used to create intelligent forms that show the user fields and information based on their responses to previous elements. For instance, your form might ask the parent how their child will be transported to school. If they answer 'Parent pickup/drop-off', that can trigger a field to appear for 'Alternative Driver' to designate who can pick the child up when the parents are unavailable; or if they select 'School Bus', you can make a dropdown appear where they can select their nearest bus stop. The idea is to minimize clutter and confusion by only displaying fields that are relevant to the user.
Enabling Workflow Mapping
In the Ecollect editor, choose the element that will become visible based on another element's value. Enable the Workflow Mapping option and then click on the icon. This will gray out most of the screen except for the elements that are eligible to be the determinant element. If the element you want is not available, try saving the form first and try again. Once you link the determinant element, it should be highlighted in orange whenever the initial element is selected.
Enter the Value for Visibility. This is the value of the determinant element that will trigger this element to appear. It can be set to multiple possible values, using the pipe (|) character. You could trigger the appearance of the dependent element for grades 1 through 4 with the value 1|2|3|4.
If the determinant element has choices this separate display and stored values (such as a grade level element with choices like Kindergarten|0 and Ninth|9) then the Value for Visibility must be set to the stored value (in this case, 0 or 9), not the visible text.
You can make multiple elements dependent on the same determinant element, and you can set a different Value for Visibility for each dependent element.
The determinant element can be almost any type of user input element, including text box, checkbox, dropdown, multiple choice, etc. If it is an element that allows multiple values, such as checkboxes, as long as one of the selections matches the Value for Visibility, the element will appear.
If the Value for Visibility is PART of the value of the determinant element, the dependent element will appear. For instance, if the Value for Visibility is day, the element will appear if the user selects Half day, Full day, or Multiple days.
Advanced Values for Visibility
The Value for Visibility works using Regex. If you know how to utilize Regex, there are many options for how you can use workflow mapping. Below are some examples of possible Values for Visibility and the scenarios that you would use them.
[^]+ - Visible if any value is selected/entered
^Sunday$ - Visible for the value of 'Sunday', but not for the value of 'Saturday/Sunday'
[0-5] - Equivalent to 0|1|2|3|4|5
^(?!.*Sunday).+$ - Visible for any value that does not contain 'Sunday'

Explanation of the basic parameters to configure a downlight, example deployable to any non-fluorescent lighting fixture, connected to a single phase power system with a voltage of 230V.
On the Autodesk WikiHelp page there is an explanation for each parameter seen in the video above. It is a good starting point to understand these type of connectors.
The spaces generated in the model can not be removed by deleting them from the view you are working, they still remain in the model. The way to do it is through the tables, in the next video we do this exercise:
The spaces must have well defined boundaries to provide the information without any error. The parameter "room bounding" is a parameter that should have activated all the elements that can define a space limit (pillars, ceiling plates, etc).
Despite being a parameter "associated" to architecture, it is important to know its functionality, for his successful activation will cause polymer fume a correct analysis of thermal loads.
Attached video explaining how to use the "space tool" and focused on the limitation of "offset".

Bandwidth usage analysis of service location protocol
A resource discovery protocol allows networked embedded processors and handheld devices to discover each other's capabilities. Service Location Protocol (SLP) has been proposed by the IETF for that purpose. The usage of bandwidth, or the amount of traffic, that such a protocol makes is a characteristic that is particularly relevant when devices are mobile and wireless. Protocols that are less chatty are more desirable because wireless bandwidth is a scarce resource as well as mobile device power. The goal of this work is to characterize the usage of bandwidth SLP makes and to contrast it with the usage of bandwidth that JINI makes, which is another resource discovery protocol. We present equations characterizing the usage of bandwidth made by SLP and JINI.

Education Sciences majors engage in an interdisciplinary exploration of the field of education beyond classroom teaching and student learning. The major in Education Sciences provides a foundation for the study of education, focused on four domains:
Students in the major have the option of completing up to two specializations:
With advanced planning, students in the major can complete a minor or second major in another discipline.
A 2015 Forbes study identified Education as the most popular vocational field for recent university graduates. Here a few career options for Education Sciences majors:


$@
From Linux Shell Scripting Tutorial - A Beginner's handbook
Jump to: navigation, search
$@ is one of the Bash special parameters. It can only be referenced as follows
echo "$@"
However, assignment to it is not allowed:
@=foo
Purpose
$@ expands to the positional parameters, starting from one. When the expansion occurs within double quotes, each parameter expands to a separate word. That is, "$@" is equivalent to "$1" "$2" .. "$n". If the double-quoted expansion occurs within a word, the expansion of the first parameter is joined with the beginning part of the original word, and the expansion of the last parameter is joined with the beginning part of the original word, and the expansion of the last parameter is joined with the last part of the original word. When there are no positional parameters, "$@" and $@ expand to nothing (i.e., they are removed).
Examples
Create a shell script called testpara.sh:
#!/bin/bash
echo "\$@ with double quotes : $@"
echo \$@ without double quotes : $@
echo
echo "\$@ with double quotes \$1 is : $1"
echo "\$@ with double quotes \$2 is : $2"
echo "\$@ with double quotes \$3 is : $3"
echo
echo \$@ without double quotes \$1 is : $1
echo \$@ without double quotes \$2 is : $2
echo \$@ without double quotes \$3 is : $3
echo
Run it as follows:
chmod +x testpara.sh
./testpara.sh one two three four
Sample outputs:
$@ with double quotes : one two three four
$@ without double quotes : one two three four
$@ with double quotes $1 is : one
$@ with double quotes $2 is : two
$@ with double quotes $3 is : three
$@ without double quotes $1 is : one
$@ without double quotes $2 is : two
$@ without double quotes $3 is : three
Now run it again as follows (note the double quotes when calling the script):
./testpara.sh one two "three four"
Sample outputs:
$@ with double quotes : one two three four
$@ without double quotes : one two three four
$@ with double quotes $1 is : one
$@ with double quotes $2 is : two
$@ with double quotes $3 is : three four
$@ without double quotes $1 is : one
$@ without double quotes $2 is : two
$@ without double quotes $3 is : three four
Consider the following for loop example (testpara1.sh):
#!/bin/bash
echo "*** Processing \$@ without double quote:"
for f in $@
do
 echo "\$f = $f"
done
echo "*** Processing \$@ with double quote:"
for f in "$@"
do
 echo "\$f = $f"
done
Save and close the file. Run it as follows:
chmod +x testpara1.sh
./testpara.sh1 one two "three four"
Sample outputs:
*** Processing $@ without double quote:
$f = one
$f = two
$f = three
$f = four
*** Processing $@ with double quote:
$f = one
$f = two
$f = three four

How do you do a limit query in HQL
I have a table A of large yet unknown size. I need to retrieve results in batches, i.e. 100 at a time, from the table and perform operations on them. For this, I have a variable m so that I can execute the HQL equivalent of query "SELECT * from A LIMIT m,100" within a loop, which iterates m as 1, 101, 201,... and so on. What shall be the terminating condition of the loop? What is the result when the above query is executed in a condition when m > number of rows in the table?

use select count(*) query first, this will give you total number of records. now you write java code to set limit accordingly. (count/m) int = x= number of full batches and count-x*m = rows for last batch.

The issue you have is more known as pagination.
And your problem is how many pages you can retrieve form a table?
You must know the pages count to use pagination.
To set page count, you need to execute pre-query that will have same FROM clause but only SELECT count(*) FROM.... This will give you always correct answer.
If you can not or do not want to use extra statement. Then you should as database for pages until the result is not empty. So you execute statement for page 1, paget 2,... page n until size of result is less then page size.
int pageSize = 100;
int page = 1;
do {
 currentPage = loadPage(page, pageSize);
} while(currentPage.size() == pageSize);
share|improve this answer
I suggest to use hibernate functions setFirstResult() and setMaxResults() to achieve your desired results e.g. below:
 Query query= session.createQuery("SELECT * from A");
 int resultSize = 100;
 List pagedResults = null;
 //use any approriate number for iterations or do a result count first to get the expected result size
 for(int m=0; ; m++){
 pagedResults = (List)query.setFirstResult(m*resultSize).setMaxResults((m+1)*resultSize).list();
 //do your processing
 if(pagedResults.isEmpty() || pagedResults.size()

This story from NPR:
"Cupcakes Are Dead: Long Live The Pie!"
Oh my !!!
So what is the history of the cupcake, anyway? To answer that question, I turned to Wikipedia:
A cupcake (British English: fairy cake; Australian English: patty cake or cup cake) is a small cake designed to serve one person, frequently baked in a small, thin paper or aluminum cup. As with larger cakes, frosting and other cake decorations, such as sprinkles, are common on cupcakes.
The first mention of the cupcake can be traced as far back as 1796, when a recipe notation of "a cake to be baked in small cups" was written in "American Cookery" by Amelia Simms. The earliest documentation of the term "cupcake" was in "Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats" in 1828 in Eliza Leslie's Receipts cookbook.
In the early 19th century, there were two different uses for the name "cup cake" or "cupcake". In previous centuries, before muffin tins were widely available, the cakes were often baked in individual pottery cups, ramekins, or molds and took their name from the cups they were baked in.
This is the use of the name that has persisted, and the name of "cupcake" is now given to any small cake that is about the size of a teacup. The name "fairy cake" is a fanciful description of its size, which would be appropriate for a party of diminutive fairies to share.
Personally, though, give me PIE over a CUPCAKE any day.
But there is a "however ..."
I must tell you - I had the most delicious Karma Cupcake on Wednesday, at the end of a committee meeting at CCI (_URL_) for an event I volunteer with, Balboa Barks ( _URL_ ).
Said Karma Cupcake was a luscious lemon flavor, and it was terrific. And the best part is that the KARMA CUPCAKE sales benefit CCI, with the flavor changing each month.
You can get your own Karma Cupcake at my friend Becky's cupcake shop, LITTLE CAKES CUPCAKES at 30 Main Street, Suite 180, in Vista, California. Call ahead for hours and the specials-of-the-day: _PHONE_. You can visit them on-line right here at: _URL_ ...
Whatever YOUR pleasure is, make the most of it.
Happy New Year ~~
P.S. if you click on the link to the NPR story, there's even an option to hear the story ... stream it !!!
P.S.S. If you were to ask me which I would choose - I'd have to go with PIE. As the article says, "PIE can be sweet or savory", and yes, some creative cupcake folk are baking "savory cupcakes", but to me, those are just muffins in disguise.
That's not to say that I might not give a French Toast cupcake a try, but still - that's sweet, isn't it? Just don't wrap my French Toast Cupcake with .... bacon.
Now a PIE, a pie ... give me fresh blueberry or spicy pumpkin pie, oooh, and fresh peach in the summer, with crystally sugar sprinkled on the top crust.
And on the savory side, oooh, I like quiche, and that's like pie, right? And then there's Shepherd's Pie, which isn't really a pie at all, but it sounds like one, and it's got all the food groups in it; well, except for sugar! If you are a savory pie person, and you need to fill your daily sugar requirement, treat yourself to a CUPCAKE. And make sure it's from Little Cakes Cupcakes :-) !!!

Winnie Palmer Nature Reserve at Saint Vincent College will offer two nature camps for children during the month of July.
Five-year-old children (accompanied by an adult) may attend Bug Camp from 10 a.m. to 12 noon Tuesday, July 24 to Thursday, July 26. They will have an opportunity to "go buggy" along the tall grasses, along the trails or among the cattails in the pond searching for butterflies, spiders, ants, dragonflies, bees, beetles and other insects native to the Reserve. Hands-on investigations, games and mini-labs will take children on a nature adventure within the 50-acre site. Each camper will receive a mini insect investigation kit. Registration ($50) is required and is limited to 25 children who must be age 5 by July 9.
Children ages 6 and 7 may register for Fuzzy-Feather Camp from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, July 9 to Friday, July 13. Campers will enjoy a week of nature adventure as they explore the world of mammals and birds as they learn about song birds and birds of prey native to Pennsylvania. They will also discover mammals native to the region. Each day campers will explore "feathered and furry friends" which occupy the Reserve. Each camper will receive a mini nature explorer kit. Registration ($125) is required and is limited to 25 children who must be age 6 by July 9.
Registration deadline is Friday, June 15 and may be completed online at _URL_. For questions or further information, contact the Winnie Palmer Nature Reserve at _PHONE_.

5.7 Compound variable declaration and definition
Stan allows assignable variables to be declared and defined in a single statement. Assignable variables are
 - local variables, and
 - variables declared in the transformed data, transformed parameters, or generated quantities blocks.
For example, the statement
int N = 5;
declares the variable N to be an integer scalar type and at the same time defines it to be the value of the expression 5.
Assignment typing
The type of the expression on the right-hand side of the assignment must be assignable to the type of the variable being declared. For example, it is legal to have
real sum = 0;
even though 0 is of type int and sum is of type real, because integer-typed scalar expressions can be assigned to real-valued scalar variables. In all other cases, the type of the expression on the right-hand side of the assignment must be identical to the type of the variable being declared.
Any type may be assigned. For example,
matrix[3, 2] a = b;
declares a matrix variable a and assigns it to the value of b, which must be of type matrix for the compound statement to be well formed. The sizes of matrices are not part of their static typing and cannot be validated until run time.
Right-hand side expressions
The right-hand side may be any expression which has a type which is assignable to the variable being declared. For example,
matrix[3, 2] a = 0.5 * (b + c);
assigns the matrix variable a to half of the sum of b and c. The only requirement on b and c is that the expression b + c be of type matrix. For example, b could be of type matrix and c of type real, because adding a matrix to a scalar produces a matrix, and the multiplying by a scalar produces another matrix.
The right-hand side expression can be a call to a user defined function, allowing general algorithms to be applied that might not be otherwise expressible as simple expressions (e.g., iterative or recursive algorithms).
Scope within expressions
Any variable that is in scope and any function that is available in the block in which the compound declaration and definition appears may be used in the expression on the right-hand side of the compound declaration and definition statement.

How Aggregates Are Transported
Aggregates are transported to the point of use. The preferred method of transportation depends on a wide variety of factors, including delivery and schedule requirements, distance to the site, volume of material to be delivered, loading and unloading facilities, and the availability of different transportation methods.
By Truck
Crushed Stone Being Carried by a Truck to Building SiteTransportation by truck is the most common method. Trucks can quickly be loaded at our locations and can dump or drop their loads unassisted at the destination. They can deliver practically anywhere there is a road. From small pickups to tractor trailor rigs, trucks are filled to match their weight load requirements, making deliveries more economical.
At Rogers Group, our scale operators help to enforce weight laws by making sure trucks do not leave the scale overweight. We encourage all trucks to tarp to help reduce the possibility of loose rock chips falling from the truck when the truck is on its way to a delivery. Tarping can help control dust and keeps asphalt mix hot.
Crushed Stone in Haul Truck at a Local QuarryAnother type of truck used in transporting rock is a haul truck. Haul trucks are never driven on the road. Depending on the size of the haul truck, they can carry between 30 to 90 tons of stone. Haul trucks move the rock to the jaw crusher of the plant, conveyor belts and stock piles. The wheels of the truck can be 8 to 12 feet high. Two pickup trucks could hide in the bed of a large haul truck. A driver sitting in the cab of the truck would be thirty feet off the ground. A haul truck can cost anywhere from $500,000 to $800,000 dollars.
By Rail
Rail shipping may be more economical than truck transport. Typically, rail shipment is used to transport stone to areas of the country where the quality of the local stone product is poor, or they have limited natural stone resources available locally. Aggregates can be loaded into either 100-ton bottom dump hopper cars, gondolas, or moved in a single car.
By Water
When a quarry has access to a navigable river, aggregate can be moved by hopper or flat deck barges. Hopper barges commonly hold 1,500 tons of aggregate.
