How Long Does Ceramic Tile Floor Grout Take to Dry?

How Long Does Ceramic Tile Floor Grout Take to Dry? When you spread grout on a ceramic tile floor, you need to make sure that you allow it plenty of time to dry before walking across it. If you step on the tiles before the grout has had a chance to fully set, you could easily ruin all your hard work. Schedule your days to set aside plenty of time for the floor to set; if the new grout is in the kitchen, plan your meals out; if it’s in a bathroom, be sure your family uses other bathrooms in the house, or arrange for alternate accommodations. Dry Time In most cases, you should allow the grout to dry overnight before using that room as total dry time may take up to 24 hours. If you are thinking about sealing your grout after you have installed it, you need to wait even longer than that so that all of the moisture has had time to be released. In most cases, this process can take as long as 72 hours to complete. Different grout mixes from different manufacturers can have their own instructions for dry times. To ensure that you always allow ample time, consult the instructions on your specific packaging and follow any directions for application to the letter. As Grout Dries It is important to note that cleaning up excess grout will actually take place while the material is still drying. Naturally, since grout is meant to be durable, clearing any grout off of your ceramic tile when it’s already dry will be difficult. So, instead, you’ll want to take a wet sponge to the grout after it sets for about 15 to 30 minutes. This should remove most of the excess, leaving only a thin haze that will have to be dealt with later. Environmental Considerations Certain factors in your home environment can cause your grout dry time to increase, the biggest of these being humidity. Since grout dries as the moisture evaporates from the material, too much moisture in the air will make it harder for the moisture to evaporate quickly. This situation will be more common in humid climate regions, but also in homes with a lot of flora indoors as plants actually release moisture into the air. Running an air conditioner or a dehumidifier in the room is the best way to dry out the air, but using a fan can also help by circulating the air across the surface of the tiles. Pull any plants you may have in the room out prior to drying the grout so they’re not negatively affected. It should also be noted that dry time should never decrease under what's directed, no matter the conditions of your home. Comments

How to Use Common Metaphors and Similes

Fiction Writing Careers Craft & Technique How to Use Common Metaphors and Similes Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Ginny Wiehardt Updated April 02, 2018Metaphors and similes are both what's called figurative language, or figures of speech. Metaphors and similes are literary devices used to compare one thing to another. They add understanding, dimension, and vividness to writing. Metaphors say straight up that one thing is another ("love is a flame"), deeply connecting one to the other. Similes compare one thing to another using the word "like" or "as" ("slower than molasses in January), and often are colorful sayings that are indigenous to certain regions of the country. The South is known for its abundance of memorable similes. Metaphors and similes also cut to the chase and say a lot in a few words. For example, rather than saying "Bob is Jane's old boyfriend; they were very tight for a while, and I'm not quite sure whether there's still an attraction there," you can use the metaphor "Bob is Jane's old flame." An old flame, of course, is an old love that may or may not still burn hot. Metaphors and similes are used extensively in poetry. They are also a basic tool used in most forms of fiction writing. By comparing one thing to another, the writer can evoke a mood or memory, help the reader to make connections, establish a theme, and add interest and color to the writing. These descriptions of a sunset evoke completely different responses: No metaphor or simile: The sun was setting. The sky turned red. Then darkness fell. Both metaphor and simile: The sunset was like a glorious conflagration, blazing with fabulous colors but producing no warmth. Metaphor: The sun dipped below the horizon, the last gasp of beauty before the death of the day. Metaphors and Similes in Everyday Speech While many writers use figurative language in descriptions, it can be equally effective to put metaphorical language into characters' dialogue. Metaphors and similes are regularly used in the language people use to talk to each other, so characters need not be poets to believably use figurative language. Some metaphors and similes are used so frequently they are sometimes categorized as cliches. Some examples: Fit as a fiddle Happy as a clam She is an old flame Dull as dishwater Sharp as a tack Silent as the grave Time is money He is a pig You are my sunshine Using Common Metaphors and Similes in Your Fiction It is certainly easy to add metaphors and similes to fiction, and it's very often a good idea. But when and how you should use this language to the best effect is a question well worth asking. A cliched or mixed metaphor can sink a perfectly good story.

Ernie Els Makes The Switch Back To A Regular Sized Putter

Golf News Ernie Els Makes The Switch Back To A Regular Sized Putterby Les Bailey 4 years ago Follow @Spin_47Tweet Share x Comment Four-time major champion, Ernie Els is using the European Tour’s Desert Swing to work out some equipment changes. The popular 44 year-old from Johannesburg, South Africa switched from Callaway to Adams during the off-season, and has decided to get ahead of the putter ruling, and back to a normal length putter. He is in Dubai at The Dubai Dessert Classic this week to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of this event, a tournament he has won three times. The “Big Easy” played well on the back nine Thursday, but found some bogeys on the front. He still looks tentative with the short putter in his hands, and looks to be trying to find some confidence on the greens. Els ran into trouble on the front side where was unable to make a birdie. He took the dreaded “six” on the final hole, a par four. He finished his day with a two over par 74 in the opening round, and is now in danger of missing the cut if he doesn’t get it together on Friday. The 2012 Open Champion is ranked 28th in the OWGR, and is currently 62nd in The Race To Dubai. He finished T37 last week at The Qatar Masters while using the short putter. Ernie Els has 26 career European Tour wins throughout his illustrious career, and 19 PGA Tour victories. He has won the US Open Twice, and the British Open twice.

This old Welsh surname is from the Welshpersonal name Rhys, which also took the forms Rice and Rees. This name was originally derived from the Old Welsh forename Ris, which means ardour. Early Origins of the Reese family The surname Reese was first found in Carmarthenshire (Welsh: Sir Gaerfyrddin), located in Southwest Wales, one of thirteen historic counties and presently one of the principal area in Wales. Sir Elidir Dhu who flourished temp. Richard I., was the direct descendant of the family of Rees of Killymaenllwyd, county Carmarthen. [1]CITATION [CLOSE] Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print. "In 1115, Grufydd ab Rhys, Prince of South Wales, took sanctuary in the church of Aberdaron, from the treachery of Grufydd ab Cynan, sovereign of North Wales, who intended to deliver him into the hands of the English monarch, Henry I. The young prince escaped with his partisans by night, and set forward on his journey to the deep forest of Strath Towy, in South Wales, where, having collected the adherents of his family, he commenced hostilities against the Norman and Flemish settlers.

Another 248 words (18 lines of text) covering the years 161 and 1615 are included under the topic Early Reese History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. Reese Spelling Variations The Welsh have an extremely large amount of spelling variations of their native surnames to their credit. It was up to the priest or the scribe taking the official records to determine how the spoken name was to be made literal. As time progressed, the old Brythonic names of Wales were recorded in English, which was especially problematic since the English language had extreme difficulty recording the highly inflected sounds of Cymraeg. Spelling variations were, however, also carried out according to an individual's design: a branch loyalty within the family, a religious adherence, or even patriotic affiliations could be indicated by spelling variations of one's name. The spelling variations of the name Reese have included Rees, Reece, Rhys, Ap Rhys and others. Early Notables of the Reese family (pre 1700)More information is included under the topic Early Reese Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. Migration of the Reese family to Ireland Some of the Reese family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 125 words (9 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. Migration of the Reese family to the New World and Oceana Many Welsh families joined their Scottish and Irish neighbors during the late 1800s and early 1900s in seeking refuge in North America. Like the Irish and Scottish, many Welsh anxiously awaited the work, freedom, and opportunities that they believed lay in North America. Those who did journey over to the United States and what became known as Canada often realized those dreams, but only through much toil and perseverance. Whenever and however these Welsh immigrants arrived in North America, they were instrumental in the creation of the industry, commerce, and cultural heritage within those two developing nations.

Ventura Sheriff Department: A Study in Corruption First off, this is my opinion and other people's opinion may vary. I have also heard additional similiar stories about the Ventura Sheriff's department under Bob Brooks, which involved people running for political office. There is the concept of where there is smoke, there is fire. It is my personal opinion, based on what I have seen and heard, as well as the definition of the word "corrupt" (which involves not following the rules, not just illegal actions), that the current administration of Sheriff Bob Brooks is corrupt. It is interesting to do a web search "ventura sheriff corrupt". On some of the links, you will find people who believe that the Ventura Sheriff's department is corrupt and some specifically mentioned Bob Brooks and says:http://twitter.com/Ventura Corrupt Do not move to Ventura; Sheriff's Dept is corrupt and youll only get service if you are a friend of bob brooks 1:30 AM Nov 18th, 2009 from web As an introduction, do a web search for "Ventura County Sheriff Bob Brooks fired Geoff Dean". A link to the story is at:http://www.vcstar.com/news/2009/mar/22/brooks-is-told-to-reinstate-dean/The second paragraph in this story is really important and shows that our current government is out of control: The commission ordered Brooks to reinstate Dean and recommended that the sheriff allow his successor to be "elected through the democratic process without undue influence from within the department," according to the report, which Dean provided to The Star on Friday. What is this business about the commission recommending that Sheriff Bob Brooks allow his successor to be elected without undue influence from with the department? Shouldn't Sheriff Bob Brooks be ordered to not interfear in the election process? That statement makes it clear to me that Sheriff Bob Brooks does not want to allow the citizens of Ventura County to be able to elect the best person for the office of Sheriff. While Geoff Dean was reinstated, I personally don't see how the Sheriff can be allowed to demote a person for running for Sheriff. That seems to be a clear violation of the rights of the person who want to run for office, as well as the rights of all the citizens to be able elect who they want, rather than who the current Sheriff thinks that we should elect. I recently read an article about Dennis Carpenter and Geoff Dean and their comments at a recent question and answer forum. If you read some of the articles, which are linked above, you will see that clearly Dennis Carpenter thinks that the current way of doing things should continue. Perhaps this is because he is Bob Brooks choice and he does not like the concept of the people choosing the Sheriff, instead of the previous Sheriff making the decision. Dennis Carpenter attacked Geoff Dean by saying that he was found guilty of insuboardination. In my view, that is a positive thing. Bob Brooks had NO right to tell ANYONE to not run for Sheriff until he decides that it is acceptable. Bob Brooks statements in some of the newspaper articles I have read are unethical, un American and in my opinion he should be fired and charged with a crime for interfearing in an election. Bob Brooks admitted that he transferred Geoff Dean so that he would not be seen by the public so that it harm his chance of getting elected as Sheriff. If this is not illegal, it should be. Bob Brooks' attitude seems to be quite arogant and certainly not what one would really want as an elected Sheriff. Dennis Carpenter said that he will continue to run the Sheriff's department the same as Bob Brooks. To me, this is unacceptable and shows that Dennis Carpenter should not be elected to the position of Sheriff. We don't need more of the same! !What do you think the effect is on others who might want to run for the office? I am willing to bet that others do not want to take the chance of getting fired and having to go through that whole process. It is a serious chilling effect on the democratic process. It also hints that the Ventura Sheriff's department is a rogue organization, one in which is overseen by no one. There is a reason why I made that last statement and it is because of other issues I have seen. I was told by the Ventura County Board of Supervisors, who pay the salaries of the Sheriff's department, that they can not oversee nor investigate the Sheriff's department. I was told by the Ventura DA that they can not investigate unless you can prove that some illegal act occurred, which means that you had best know ALL of the laws in order to get them to do anything. Another interesting article is:http://www.vcstar.com/news/2009/mar/25/something-about-a-sheriff/Which says, in part: And he did transfer Dean out of his high-profile position as chief deputy in charge of the patrol division specifically to lower Dean’s public visibility and to raise the profile of a potential competitor. Who is Sheriff Brooks to play such games? He should be fired or jailed for such actions in my opinion. His job as Sheriff is not to determine who the next Sheriff is. It is clear that his attitude is reflected in the people who he has in the power structure and it is certainly the case that he does not care to do the job of the people, he is in it for his own political goals and agenda. It is clear who Brooks wants:http://www.vcstar.com/news/2009/jul/03/chief-deputy-carpenter-begins-campaign-for/Hopefully, the people of Ventura County will vote for a change. In my case, I have seen the Ventura Sheriff's department make false statements and retaliate due to my having a valid complaint. After making an appointment, driving over an hour to get there (one way), being told that the only person the only person who does the work is out sick and that you have to come back another day (as the whole department is effectively closed), do you think it is reasonable to ask if there is anyone else who can help you? Not even the supervisor was willing to just take a thumbprint and a check. The Sheriff's department took great offense to this, but nothing was said at the time. Instead, the Sheriff's department waited until the next renewal and denied it on false grounds. How would you feel if the Sheriff's department told you that you had been fired from a job when the reality was that it was a layoff? That this had occurred around 6 years prior and was suddenly an issue, would that have an affect? How about if you told that you were guilty of misconduct on a job, when you have evidence to show that was also false? If the Ventura Sheriff's department either can't get it right or intentionally retaliates against a citizen because they don't like to be questioned, there is something seriously wrong. Then, add to that being told by Undersheriff Mark Ball that when you get answer that you don't like you should quietly walk away, making it clear that if you are so bold as to not be a sheeple that they will take action against you. Then, consider filing a complaint against these actions and have the "Professional Standards" Capt. Bruce Macedo investigate and not be able to find that anyone did anything wrong. What? So, the Sheriff's department can make false claims and the investigator can't find anything? Yeah, right, can you say a serious conflict of interest! !It seems clear to me that retaliation is Standard Operating Procedure with the Ventura Sheriff's department. That there is little that a citizen can do about the abuses of the Sheriff's department because they have all the power. I have to wonder how many other stories are out there about the same types of abuses. This has been educational, but I am not sure that those in power will like what I have learned. Since I have personally seen the lies from law enforcement, I really can't believe a word they have to say. This means that should I be called to serve on a Jury, I have reasonable doubt that the person that they are accusing is guilty. If the Sheriff can make up things which I personally know to be false, how can I trust them in things that I don't know? The simple answer is that I can't. It is also important to realize (see case law) that the police have no duty or obligation to protect you as an individual. This means that you are really on your own. Due to the broken government, don't expect anyone to help you unless you have large sums of money to pay to an attorney to help you. It is time to take OUR government back by throwing the current clowns out of office and electing people who are really for the people. Yes, this is a difficult task and it means that you have to follow what they are doing, but failure to do so will be the downfall of this country. Update: I recently when to a forum with Dennis Carpenter and Geoff Dean. I expected both candidates to be able to handle themselves well, but I was very mistaken. It seemed clear to me that Bob Brooks' choice for his replacement is out of his league. He had a hard time answering some questions and in one case it seemed that he was looking at his notes so as to determine what to say. He could not find anything and ended up saying that he was going to pass on that question. He could not or would not answer the question!!! Regardless of the other options, my impression was that I would not want Dennis Carpenter to be the Sheriff of Ventura County. He did not seem like a real leader to me. It also seemed to me that he was able to answer questions better when he got to hear Geoff Dean's response first. My impression is that he does not seem to be able to think for himself and that he needs others to tell him what he needs to say. Dennis Carpenter attacks Geoff Dean on his "blemished" record, which is bogus since it is based on Geoff Dean refusing to follow an unethical order. When Dennis Carpenter was specifically asked about whether it was ethical for the Sheriff to order people to not announce their campaign for public office and whether it was ethical for the Sheriff to transfer a person with the specific goal of harming the chances of that person to get elected, Dennis Carpenter refused to answer and said that he would continue to run the Ventura Sheriff's department the same as Bob Brooks. I guess that is an indirect answer to the question and shows that Dennis Carpenter will continue with the same abuses as Bob Brooks. I heard that one of the reasons why he refused to answer the ethics questions was that Bob Brooks was in the audience and Dennis Carpenter did not want to do anything that might upset Bob Brooks. I, personally, want a Sheriff who will speak the truth and do what is right, rather than play politics and other such games. Dennis Carpenter is supported by the Good Ol' Boys of Sheriff Bob Brooks, Undersheriff Mark Ball and the other Chief Deputies. Everyone else supports Geoff Dean it seems.

Everything You Need To Learn How To Cook Vegetables

Home > How To Cook Vegetables Everything You Need To Learn How To Cook Vegetables By Patty Knutson Learn how to cook vegetables. First we'll have a chat about which ones to buy organic, how much to eat, and whether they should be raw or cooked. Then, it's time to visit our complete Veggie Guide. Learn how to shop for, clean, and cook fresh vegetables, plus flavor tips. There's so much here for you to play with. Raise your hand if you grew up with a dislike of most vegetables. Veggies aren't always easy to swallow when you're a kid, especially for those of you who grew up with them straight out of a can -- which were further overcooked and heaped on your plate in a wimpy mass. Blechhh!It's time to learn the key to cooking vegetables you can fall in love with!There are many different veggies to choose from, various cooking techniques, and so many flavoring ideas that you're bound to find some new favorites. And don't forget about the magical nutrition that juicing provides. Here's what you'll discover below: Complete Vegetable Cooking Guide Why should we eat vegetables? Which ones are important to buy organic -- and which aren't? How much do you need? Juice them!Raw or cooked? General rules when working with vegetables. Vegetable Cooking Guide Eat Your Veggies! 4-6 Servings (or more!) Per Day Click on any vegetable to learn how to select, prep and clean, cook, and flavor to perfection. Asparagus Definitely one of my favorites. It's a delicate veggie, can be expensive, and easy to overcook. So it's vital to learn how to do it right. Beets A sweet and hearty root vegetable that turns rich and buttery once it's cooked. Broccoli Become a master at cooking fresh broccoli, a clear favorite among most people. It's available year-round and can be use alone or mixed into any number of dishes. Really versatile. Brussels Sprouts It took me a while to warm up to these little guys. But now, they are definitely at the top of my list. They cook up so tender and have a special flavor that is a bit like cabbage -- but not quite as earthy. Cabbage Cabbage is incredibly good for you. It's relatively inexpensive, and available year-round. The red variety is more nutrient-dense. Carrots Carrots are so versatile. You can use them in savory dishes like soups or sweet dishes like carrot cake. Kids and adults alike love them. They're fun to play around with in the kitchen because it's fairly difficult to ruin them by overcooking. Cauliflower I don't feel enough attention is paid to good ol' cauliflower. It's available practically everywhere and at a good price. And it makes the BEST soup, chunky or creamy. Fall in love with cauliflower!Collard, Mustard, and Turnip Greens It took me YEARS as a vegan before I attempted collard greens. Sheesh, what took me so long? Collards have a taste and texture that is a cross between spinach and kale -- and soooo good for you. Mustard and turnip greens are a little more bitter but you can offset that with a little healthy sweetener. Eat your greens!Corn on the Cob Since it's not a veggie but in fact a whole grain, you'll find it over in the Whole Grains Guide. Green Beans Surely one of the most underappreciated veggies is the green bean. But when in season and cooked up right, green beans are mouthwateringly tender with a bite. (Hey, that rhymes.) Sheer perfection. Kale OMG, if you don't love kale yet...you will! I promise. It's cheap. It's available year-round. And you can eat it alone, add it to soups or stews, make crispy potato-chip-like kale chips. Did I mention it's one of the most nutritious veggies and high in calcium? Score!Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, and Yams Comforting. Hearty. Swoon-worthy. I don't know about you, but I love potatoes of all kinds. They're inexpensive and versatile. Did you know the "yams" you see in the store are not true yams, they're a variety of sweet potato. And potatoes are not even related to sweet potatoes. Who woulda thunk it? :)Spinach Spinach is one of those vegetables that we all seem to despise as kids, but somewhere along the way we fall in love. Whether wilting spinach, mixing it into another dish, or eating it raw, it's important to learn how to clean and prep this yummy and super healthy veggie. Swiss Chard I feel Swiss chard is a kinder, gentler version of kale. And it cooks up like spinach, with a delicate flavor, as far as greens go. It's easy to fall in love with Swiss chard!Squash One of THE EASIEST veggies to prepare. And the gorgeous colorful innards tell you just how incredibly good for you squash is! num-num-num Turnips Turnips are QUITE persnickety! Sort of high maintenance, but the results are outstanding if you do it right. Turnip lovers unite!WHY to eat your vegetables!After reading on and watching the video below, you're going to want to load up on your veggies. Promise. :)Vegetables are some of the most nutrient dense foods you can eat. They contain a fair amount of protein -- in fact, it's the protein which gives them their structure. They're filled with vitamins, which our bodies cannot make and must be supplied in the diet. And the dark green veggies provide calcium. In fact, even though cow's milk provides 150 mg of calcium per serving (1/2 cup), the amount absorbed is only 48 mg. Whereas bok choy, which contains 79 mg of calcium per serving (1/2 cup), the amount absorbed is 42 mg!Veggies are so beautiful and span the colors of the rainbow. These vibrant colors indicate they're chock full of phytochemicals, those disease-preventing chemicals found in all plant foods. The varying colors signify varying nutrients which is why it's important to include all the colors of the vegetable rainbow to cover the innumerable health benefits veggies bring to the table. And if you're watching your weight, it's good to know you can stuff your pie hole with tons of veggies because they're low calorie while being a healthy carb -- the kind your body uses for energy. Is It Vital To Choose Organics? It's OPTIMUM to eat organic vegetables all the time since they're grown in soil which is naturally abundant in nutrients. But let's be real, it's not always easy to find organic veggies, plus it can get expensive. So to make things easier on you, memorize these Top 5 Veggies you should ALWAYS buy organic. Why? Because they are members of "The Dirty Dozen", the top 12 fruits and veggies that must be purchased organic due to the amount of pesticides they contain: Celery Spinach (and other Leafy Greens like Kale and Collard Greens Sweet Bell Peppers (and Hot Peppers if you eat a lot of them! )Cucumbers Cherry Tomatoes Snap Peas (Imported)Potatoes If you can't find these organic, then don't eat them. Plain and simple. The missing five of the Dirty Dozen are the "dirty fruits". And on the flipside, there are "The Clean 15" - those fruits and veggies that contain the least amount of chemical pesticides, in case you can't afford to purchase (or don't have access to) organics: Onion Sweet Corn (technically a whole grain, organic)Asparagus Sweet Peas Cabbage Eggplant Sweet Potato Avocado (technically a fruit)Cauliflower The missing 6 are the "clean fruits". By the way, if you get the chance, join a local CSA group (Community Supported Agriculture), or start one up yourself. They are faaaantastic because they support your local farmers, and the prices are usually very reasonable for FRESH, ORGANIC produce! I love what Michelle from Brooklyn has to say about her experience with a CSA. Click here to locate a food co-operative or CSA near you. Here in Reno, Nevada, our gor-geous Great Basin Co-op (who ALWAYS has fresh, organic produce, most of it locally grown) has created Dropp, where you can place an order for not only fresh produce, but many other products in bulk. Place your order one day, and pick it up the next day. And if you don't have anything like this near you, start your own buying club. How Much Do You Need? Eat 4-6 servings of vegetables per day. Having a hard time imagining how you're going to eat that much food? Keep in mind a serving might be smaller than you think! One serving of cooked veggies is equal to 1/2 cup or the size of 1/2 a baseball. Refer to the Vegan Food Pyramid to learn more about serving sizes. Mix things up a bit -- snack on 1 cup of raw veggies with dip, enjoy 1 cup of cooked veggies with dinner, get in the habit of adding chopped veggies to most dishes you prepare. Once you're in the groove, you'll discover that it's actually quite simple to meet the required amount of vegetable servings per day. Another way to ensure you're getting the veggies you need is to make them the focus of at least one meal per day. Meaning, your veggie will take up the majority of room on your plate. Many times, this will mean you're eating 1 1/2 cups of veggies which is equal to 3 servings! See how easy that was? :)Juice Those Veggies!Purchase a vegetable juicer and juice those veggies! This is an excellent way to get the nutrients from a large amount of veggies. ( Here's the juicer I've had since 1997. It's a workhorse (!) and still going strong after all these years. )For instance, it takes about 5-6 carrots to make one glass of carrot juice. That's a lot of beta carotene! One 3/4 cup glass of vegetable juice equals 1 serving of vegetables. While making vegetable juices is a delicious way to meet your daily veggie quota, juicing DOES remove the all-important fiber that we need. So be sure to include a mix of fresh veggies and their juice in your daily diet. Here are some ideas for fresh vegetable juices to get you started. Feel free to experiment until you find your favorites:apple carrotapple carrot beet (my personal fave)apple carrot cucumber celery chardcarrot beetcarrot celery cabbagecarrot cucumbercarrot strawberrycarrot spinachcelery spinachspinach cabbage celeryspinach celery tomato Feel free to add foods and flavors that will help your juice to be more palatable -- especially important when juicing deep greens. Ideas: Fruits, Cranberries, Garlic, Lemon, Dill, Cayenne, and Tamari. Raw Or Cooked? Raw veggies are chock full of nutrients and are invaluable to your good health. At the same time, cooking your veggies helps to break down the cellulose walls which makes some nutrients more accessible than they'd be in their raw state. So what's the answer? Should you eat your veggies raw or cooked? Quite simply: Be sure your diet is filled with both raw AND cooked vegetables. Eat one fresh green leafy salad per day (2 cups equals 1 serving), and add chopped raw veggies such as bell peppers, onions, bok choy and grated beets. The more colorful, the better -- and the more beautiful your salad is, the more your mouth will water before your first delectable bite. As a general rule, I've always found that those veggies that seem to be lacking in lip-smacking flavor in their raw state seem to be the veggies that are best cooked first to make their nutrients more readily available. Every body is different, and the nutrients my body needs might differ slightly from those that your body needs. So listen to your body -- you'll discover which veggies you prefer cooked and which you like raw. Don't be afraid to experiment to find what works for you. The most important thing is to just get those veggies into your belly! :)Some General Rules About Vegetables Whenever possible, don't peel your veggies -- the skins contain lots of valuable nutrients;Avoid overcooking your veggies. As a general rule, veggies should be JUST tender when poked with a fork. Green veggies should be cooked just until they turn a bright and vibrant green;When making a dish with more than one veggie (recommended! ), be sure to cut them all about the same size so they cook up in the same amount of time (or close to it);To clean root vegetables, simply scrub with a brush under cold running water. Most of your veggies are best cleaned in a bowl full of cold water and an edible acid, such as lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, for 10 minutes -- this will ensure thorough cleansing. 1/4 cup of this edible acid is usually enough for a large bowl of water;Cook only the veggies you need at each meal -- leftover cooked veggies are very sad and have lost their vitality. If they look wimpy, they ARE wimpy!Whenever possible, select fresh, local, seasonal, organic veggies;Most veggies can be washed immediately upon returning from the grocery, then placed into air-tight bags or Tupperware-like containers to keep your greens and veggies fresh. When you're ready to eat, they'll be ready to go;If you own a vacuum sealer and would like to seal your vegetables for the freezer, be sure to cook them GENTLY first -- parboiling seems to work best, meaning drop cut veggies into boiling water for just a couple minutes to JUST begin the cooking process, then remove and run under cold water. Cool thoroughly, and be aware that you may have to use a large bag to allow room for water to "seep" towards the seal without interrupting the sealing action. Random Factoid - Raw broccoli emits a gas that will break the seal on your bags. Next: Choose A Grain To Go With Your Veggies"I do a LOT of searching online and have to say yours is probably the most informative vegan site I have come across. Actually, it is one of the most informative sites I have seen for vegetables, bar none. "Many sites have good recipes, some have good health and nutrition info, but yours is wonderfully complete. You are very generous with the information you offer." -- Peggy M., Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia Back to the top - How To Cook Vegetables

Isosceles Triangle Theorem

Isosceles Triangle Theorem Sub Topics Isosceles Triangle Theorem Proof Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem Isosceles triangle is a classification done on the basis of the sides of a triangle. An isosceles triangle is defined to be a triangle with at least two congruent sides. This makes an equilateral triangle (all the three sides are congruent) also a special type of an isosceles triangle. Special names are given to the sides and the angles of an isosceles triangle. The congruent sides are called the legs The non congruent side is called the base of the isosceles triangle. The angles made on the base are called the base angles. The angle made by the intersection of the congruent sides is called the vertical angle. The Isosceles triangle theorem states the base angle property of an isosceles triangle. Isosceles Triangle Theorem Isosceles Triangle Theorem Definition: If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite to those sides are congruent. In the triangle ABC it is given the sides AB AC According to isosceles triangle theorem, then B C

Make the ads in the Engineering Tool Box more useful to you!Online Beam Support Force Calculator The calculator below can be used to calculate the support forces - R 1 and R 2 - for beams with up to 6 asymmetrically loads. Length of beam (m, ft)Force F1 (N, lb f) distance from R 1 (m, ft)Force F2 (N, lb f) distance from R 1 (m, ft)Force F3 (N, lb f) distance from R 1 (m, ft)Force F4 (N, lb f) distance from R 1 (m, ft)Force F5 (N, lb f) distance from R 1 (m, ft)Force F6 (N, lb f) distance from R 1 (m, ft)For a beam in balance loaded with weights (or other load forces) the reactions forces - R - at the supports equals the load forces - F. The force balance can be expressed as F 1+ F 2+ .... + F n= R 1+ R 2 (1)where F = force from load (N, lb f)R = force from support (N, lb f)In addition for a beam in balance the algebraic sum of moments equals zero. The moment balance can be expressed as F 1a f1+ F 2a f2+ .... + F na fn= R a r1+ R a r2 (2)wherea = the distance from the force to a common reference - usually the distance to one of the supports (m, ft)Example - A beam with two symmetrical loads A 10 m long beam with two supports is loaded with two equal and symmetrical loads F 1 and F 2 , each 500 kg. The support forces F 3 and F 4 can be calculated (500 kg) (9.81 m/s 2) + (500 kg) (9.81 m/s 2) = R 1+ R 2=>R 1+ R 2= 9810 N= 9.8 k NNote! Load due to the weight of a mass - m - is mg Newton's - where g = 9.81 m/s 2. With symmetrical and equal loads the support forces also will be symmetrical and equal. Using R 1= R 2the equation above can be simplified to R 1= R 2= (9810 N) / 2= 4905 N= 4.9 k NRelated Mobile Apps from The Engineering Tool Box Beam Supports App- free apps for offline use on mobile devices. Example - A beam with two not symmetrical loads A 10 m long beam with two supports is loaded with two loads, 500 kg is located 1 m from the end ( R 1 ), and the other load of 1000 kg is located 6 m from the same end. The balance of forces can be expressed as (500 kg) (9.81 m/s 2) + (1000 kg) (9.81 m/s 2) = R 1+ R 2=>R 1+ R 2= 14715 N= 14.7 k NThe algebraic sum of moments (2) can be expressed as (500 kg) (9.81 m/s 2) (1 m) + (1000 kg) (9.81 m/s 2) (6 m) =? R 1 (0 m) + R 2 (10 m)=>R 2= 6377 (N)= 6.4 k NF 3 can be calculated as: R 1= (14715 N) - (6377 N)= 8338 N= 8.3 k NInsert beams to your Sketchup model with the Engineering Tool Box Sketchup Extension Sorry to see that you are blocking ads on The Engineering Tool Box!If you find this website valuable and appreciate it is open and free for everybody - please contribute by• disabling your adblocker on The Engineering Tool Box! •• How to?

States that Allow Conjugal Visits

Prisoners who maintain close ties with spouses, partners, and family members are more likely to successfully reenter society upon release and less likely to commit more crime. A number of studies support this common sense conclusion. In spite of this evidence, the trend is to do away with conjugal visits. Now, only a handful of states allow them. What is A “Conjugal Visit?”Typically, a person incarcerated in jail or prison is not allowed to spend private time with a spouse or domestic partner. Historically and at present, certain states have instituted programs to allow certain prisoners to have “extended family visits.” An “extended family visit” may be an opportunity for the prisoner to spend time with his or her relatives and children, but it is also used as a euphemism for conjugal visits. A conjugal visit is private time that a prisoner may spend with a spouse or, in California, a registered domestic partner. The idea behind such visitation is to allow inmates to have intimate contact, that is, sex, with their spouses. Depending on the state’s extended family visitation program, a conjugal or extended family visit may last from as little as one hour (in Mississippi) to 48 hours (in Washington). States allowing conjugal visits recognize the benefit to the prisoner and the society at large into which the prisoner is released after serving his or her sentence. A prisoner who has maintained close family and spouse or partner relationships will have a stronger community to return to upon release, making the likelihood of successful return to society greater, and the draw of further criminal activity less powerful. Studies also show that prisoners allowed conjugal and family visits are less prone to violence and other misconduct while incarcerated. Six states allow conjugal visits In 1993, 17 states had conjugal visitation programs. That number has decreased steadily to six. Currently, only California, Connecticut, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, and Washington allow conjugal visits. Some states allow other family members, such as children and grandchildren to visit for extended periods. Washington and California even provide trailers or mobile homes on prison grounds for conjugal visits with spouses and extended family visits with other family members. All but one state restrict conjugal visits to heterosexual spouses Of the six states that do allow conjugal visits, California alone has extended the privilege to registered domestic partners of the same sex. In 2007, California followed the lead of several other countries and announced that the state would permit same sex domestic partner conjugal visits. Mexico, Brazil, Canada, and Belgium are among the countries that allow conjugal visits by same sex partners of prisoners. Connecticut permits same sex partners in civil unions to have familial visits, but only if the couple has a child as to whom each has legal parental rights, and the child is present during the visit. Unmarried Heterosexual Couple Denied Family Visits A San Quentin prisoner filed an action to force the prison to allow him to have an extended family visit with the woman and child with whom he lived prior to his imprisonment. The California Supreme Court upheld the denial of his request because the couple was not married and the prisoner was not the father of the child. In fact, the prisoner and the woman were both married to other people. While California has shown some flexibility in defining “family” member for purposes of conjugal and other visits, it was not that flexible. Conjugal Visitation Is A Privilege, Not A Right Conjugal visits are considered a privilege for prisoners who have exhibited good behavior during their term of incarceration. The U. S. Supreme Court and several federal courts have held that prisoners do not have a constitutional right to conjugal visits. Challenges based on privacy and other constitutional rights Prisoners and their spouses have filed lawsuits in several federal and state courts, arguing that denial of conjugal visits violates:the constitutional prohibition on cruel and unusual punishmentprisoner and spousal rights to marital privacythe right to procreate, andthe First Amendment right to religious freedom. Courts in these cases have rejected all of these arguments, finding no constitutional right to a conjugal visit. Following California’s adoption of a same-sex partner conjugal visitation program and the U. S. Supreme Court’s decision striking down statutes outlawing sodomy between consenting adults, it is likely that prisoners and/or partners will file challenges to heterosexual spouse-only conjugal programs. These challenges may rely upon the constitutional right to equal protection under the law. Visitation privilege is highly regulated Most states that allow conjugal visits:require that the prisoner seeking such visits have a clean prison record of good behavior and no violenceprohibit visitation for prisoners incarcerated for child abuse or domestic violence, andrestrict visits to prisoners in low- or medium-security prisons; conjugal visits are not granted to prisoners in high security facilities or on death row. Some states deny conjugal visits to inmates who have, or are at risk for, HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases. Visitor Requirements In addition to the rules governing the prisoner seeking conjugal visits, the visiting spouse or (in California) domestic partner must also meet certain standards. For example, family members must undergo a background check before being allowed a visit. Visitors may also be turned away if they are not wearing appropriate clothing. States allowing children to visit prisoners limit the areas within the facility that children may enter. And, all prison visitors (whether arriving for a conjugal or other type of visit) must submit to a physical search for weapons and other contraband. Visitors may bring very few and highly regulated items into the prison. No drugs or alcohol are ever allowed, nor are cell phones or other electronic devices. There may be other restrictions, including rules about food or gifts that may be allowed or prohibited. Most state conjugal visitation programs require that the prisoner be drug-tested after the visit. Laws Vary; Check With A Lawyer If you have questions about conjugal visitation rights in your state, consult with a lawyer experienced in the laws in your area.

10 Most Incredible Hairy People

10 Most Incredible Hairy People July 6, 2011 by Nora Vega Cateogory: Strange People393,073 views1 Yu Zhenhuan The Hairy Chinese Kid (Yu Zhenhuan) was first mentioned on 12 October 2002 during Karl's first ever edition of Educating Ricky. Karl revealed the child was indeed quite hairy and apparently had trouble hearing due to a build up of hair in his ears. Yu was born in the city of Anshan in the Chinese province of Anshan in 1979 and began growing hair at the age of two that eventually covered approximately 96% of his body. As well as being incredibly hairy, The Hairy Chinese Kid is also an aspiring rock star and has used his unusual looks to launch something of a music career. Now he is an adult. Source2 Jesús Aceves Jesús "Chuy" Aceves was born in Loreto, Zacatecas, Mexico, and is the second person in his family born with a rare condition known as hypertrichosis. Chuy's face is covered with hair, making him resemble the legendary werewolf or, as some call him, a monkey man. Chuy is married and has two daughters, one of whom has the condition. In 2007, Chuy was featured in the books Ripley's Believe It or Not! and Guinness World Records. Source3 Ramos Gomez brothers Life for hairy brothers Victor "Larry" and Gabriel "Danny" Ramos Gomez is anything but dull. They fly through the air regularly in their jobs as trampoline acrobats. The duo had a chance to become TV stars when they were offered starring roles in The X-Files. Source4 Stephan Bibrowski Stephan Bibrowski (1891–1932), better known as Lionel the Lion-Faced Man, was a famous sideshow performer. His whole body was covered with long hair that gave him the appearance of a lion. Bibrowski was born in 1891 near Warsaw in Poland with one-inch hair covering his body. His mother blamed the condition on the mauling of his father by a lion, which she witnessed while pregnant with Stephan. Source5 Pruthviraj Patil Pruthviraj Patil was born to a well off farmer in the Indian district of Sangali which is near Mumbai, with the "Werewolf Syndrome" due to which he has all his face and body covered in thick matted hair. He and his parents have tried various traditional Ayurvedic remedies, laser surgeries and homeopathy, to cure the disease but none of them have worked. Source6 Annie Jones Annie Jones (c. 1860 – 1902) was an American bearded woman, born in Virginia. She toured with showman P. T. Barnum as a circus attraction. It is unconfirmed if this was a case of hirsutism or an unrelated genetic condition that affects children of both sexes and continues into adult years. As an adult, Jones became the country's top "bearded lady" and acted as a spokesperson for Barnum's "Freaks", a word she tried to abolish from the business. Later in her career, Jones toured in Russia and claimed to have turned down painters who asked her to pose as Jesus. She became a musician. Jones married Richard Elliot in 1881, but divorced him in 1895 for her childhood sweetheart William Donovan (who later died, leaving Jones a widow). In 1902, Jones herself died of tuberculosis. Source7 Supatra Sasuphan Supatra Sasuphan, an 13-year-old girl from Thailand, suffers from werewolf syndrome, which could offer a future cure for baldness. She has been teased her entire life by other kids, who call her "monkey face" and "wolf girl". But now her Guinness world record has made her very popular at school. She said: "I'm very happy to be in the Guinness World Records. A lot of people have to do a lot to get in. All I did was answer a few questions and then they gave it to me." Supatra is one of only 50 sufferers of Ambras Syndrome documented since the Middle Ages. It is caused by a faulty chromosome. Source8 Julia Pastrana Julia Pastrana (1834–25 March 1860) was a Mexican woman born with hypertrichosis who exhibited herself in 19th-century Europe. Pastrana, an indigenous Mexican, was born in 1834, somewhere in the Sierra of Sinaloa State. Her ears and nose were unusually large and her teeth were irregular. Charles Darwin described her as: "Julia Pastrana, a Spanish dancer, was a remarkably fine woman, but she had a thick masculine beard and a hairy forehead; she was photographed, and her stuffed skin was exhibited as a show; but what concerns us is, that she had in both the upper and lower jaw an irregular double set of teeth, one row being placed within the other, of which Dr. Purland took a cast. From the redundancy of the teeth her mouth projected, and her face had a gorilla-like appearance. Source9 Percilla Bejano Percilla was born 26 April 1911 in the town of Bayamon, just south of the Puerto Rican capital of San Juan. Even as a child Percilla's hirsuteness drew attention from both the public at large and the medical community. As a baby, Percilla and her parents traveled to New York City to be examined by a team of doctors. She remained in New York for seven months before returning to Puerto Rico. Percilla passed away in 2001 at age 89. Source10 Fedor Jeftichew Born in 1868 in St. Petersburg, Russia, Fedor Jeftichew was indeed such a boy…Jo Jo The Dog Faced Boy to be exact, and despite sporting a warm and fuzzy nature that some would consider to be less than a blessing, Fedor made quite a life for himself, achieving world wide fame and fortune as he worked his act with P. T. Barnum from the age of 16. He also spoke Russian, German and English. Source

Who is Milosevic?

Who Is Milosevic? Slobo's Rise To Power He's Ruined Our Lives Turbo-Nationalism Repression of the Media In Their Own Words Who is Milosevic? Slobodan Milosevic — "Slobo" to friends and enemies alike — joined the Communist Party when he was 18. In 1984 he became Chairman of the City Committee of the League of Communists of Belgrade. In 1986 he was elected Serbian regional Communist Party President and was re-elected in 1988. In July, 1990, the League of Communists of Serbia and the Socialist Alliance of Working People of Serbia united to form a new party: the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS). Milosevic was elected President of the party, a post he formally held until his death in 2006. In 1990, Milosevic was elected to the newly created office of President of Serbia in a multi-party election. He was re-elected in December,1992. A champion of a united Yugoslavia, Milosevic saw the breakup of the Yugoslav Republic during his presidency. First, in 1991, Croatia and Slovenia declared independence. The following year, the Croats and Muslims in Bosnia seceded. During a three-year civil war, Milosevic supported Serbian rebels. However, due in part to economic crises and the impact of sanctions, in 1995, he was compelled to sign the Dayton Peace Accords, ending the civil war in Bosnia. Slobodan Milosevic and his generals Milosevic appears before the International War Crimes Tribunal at The Hague Limited to two terms as President of Serbia, Milosevic was elected President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in July, 1997. Ethnic violence continued for the next few years, mainly in the province of Kosovo. In March 1999, following increased repression of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, NATO began bombing military targets in Serbia. In June, Milosevic agreed to withdraw from Kosovo, and the bombing was stopped. Although Milosevic lost the Yugoslav elections on September 24, 2000, he attempted to manipulate vote tabulations for ten days, which set off a nationwide campaign of civil disobedience and strikes culminating in the storming of Parliament ten days later. The new Serbian government under Zoran Djindjic extradited Milosevic to the Hague on June 29, 2001 to stand trial on charges of war crimes at the International Criminal Tribunal of the Former Yugoslavia. Refusing to recognize the legitimacy of the court, Milosevic insisted on defending himself when his trial began in February 2002. His declining health eventually prevented him from mounting his own defense and he was appointed a legal team with whom he refused to cooperate. After long hours of testimony and numerous delays, Milosevic's trial ended prematurely when he was found dead of a heart attack in his cell on March 11, 2006.

Research > Vaginoplasty Research a cosmetic surgery procedure Vaginoplasty Vaginoplasty Vaginoplasty is a surgical proceduredesigned to rejuvenate and tighten a woman’s vagina, by removing excess lining and repairing the surrounding soft tissues. It is designed to decrease the diameter of the vagina, resulting in increased friction during intercourse to make the experience more pleasurable for both partners. Labiaplasty, a surgical procedure to beautify the outer appearance of the vagina by reducing the size and/or reshape the labia minor (“lips”), may be combined with vaginoplasty for total rejuvenation. When performed on transgendered women along with a genital reconstruction technique, this procedure is also known as a “sex change operation” or “gender reassignment surgery” (GRS). Costs of Vaginoplasty According to a sampling of surgeons who offer the procedure, the average U. S. cost of vaginoplasty can range anywhere from $3,500 to $12,000, depending on the extent of correction that is required. Combining the procedure with labiaplasty will increase the cost of vaginoplasty to the higher end of the price scale. "The Average U. S. costof vaginoplasty can range anywhere from $3,500 to $12,000, depending on the extent of correction that is required. "The national average fee refers to the surgeon's fee only and does not include charges for the surgical facility, anesthesia, and anesthesiologist – nor does it include any medical tests, prescriptions, or other miscellaneous costs related to vaginoplasty or labiaplasty.

(To assist your search, use the physician locator. )top Benefits of Vaginoplasty For women with a large vaginal diameter, reducing the size of the opening with vaginoplasty can result in a more pleasurable intercourse experience for both partners. Patients in need of labiaplasty, which reduces the size of the vaginal lips, often report a far more comfortable intercourse experience, and a general reduction in discomfort when exercising or wearing tight clothing.top How is vaginoplasty surgery performed? "The diameter of the vaginal openingis then reduced by minimizing the amount of vaginal lining (mucosa). "A vaginoplasty surgeon begins with placing discreet incisions in a select location near the genitals, allowing for loose muscles to be tightened or shortened. The diameter of the vaginal opening is then reduced by minimizing the amount of vaginal lining (mucosa). Excess skin may also be removed, as can excess tissue if labiaplasty is included. Once this is completed, any incisions are closed with sutures or staples and the area is dressed.top How much pain is associated with vaginoplasty surgery? Because anesthesia is administered prior to the procedure, patients shouldn't feel any pain during vaginoplasty. There may be some discomfort or tenderness following vaginoplasty, which can be controlled with prescribed pain medication.top Vaginoplasty Recovery"To facilitate the recovery process,sexual intercourse, tampon use, and other activity in the vaginal area should be avoided for four to six weeks or until further instruction from your surgeon. "In addition to the aforementioned tenderness, some bruising and swelling should be expected following vaginoplasty. To facilitate the recovery process, sexual intercourse, tampon use, and other activity in the vaginal area should be avoided for four to six weeks or until further instruction from your surgeon. Patients should also avoid heavy lifting during this time. Patients often return to sedentary work within one week of the procedure.top Risks of Vaginoplasty Surgery"Following the instructionsgiven to you by your physician will minimize the chance of any risks occurring. "As with any elective surgery, there are risks and complications associated with vaginoplasty. Following the instructions given to you by your physician will minimize the chance of any risks occurring. Potential, but uncommon complications from vaginoplasty surgery include bleeding, infection, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Rarely, a patient may require a blood transfusion during the operation if these risks occur.top Who is the ideal candidate for vaginoplasty surgery?

"No matter your reasonfor considering the procedure, it was designed to increase comfort and confidence in the vaginal area. "Occasionally, vaginoplasty is performed to revise abnormalities or certain congenital conditions, such as absence of a vagina at birth or a deformed vagina.

The SD card's small footprint is an ideal storage medium for smaller, thinner and more portable electronic devices. SD (SDSC) [ edit]This section does not cite any sources.

(October 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)The second-generation Secure Digital (SDSC or Secure Digital Standard Capacity) card was developed to improve on the Multi Media Card (MMC) standard, which continued to evolve, but in a different direction. Secure Digital changed the MMC design in several ways: Asymmetrical shape of the sides of the SD card prevent inserting it upside down (while an MMC goes in most of the way but makes no contact if inverted). Most SD cards are 2.1 mm (0.083 inches) thick, compared to 1.4 mm (0.055 inches) for MMCs. The SD specification defines a card called Thin SD with a thickness of 1.4 mm, but they occur only rarely, as the SDA went on to define even smaller form factors. The card's electrical contacts are recessed beneath the surface of the card, protecting them from contact with a user's fingers. The SD specification envisioned capacities and transfer rates exceeding those of MMC, and both of these functionalities have grown over time. For a comparison table, see below. While MMC uses a single pin for data transfers, the SD card added a four-wire bus mode for higher data rates. The SD card added Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM) security circuitry for digital rights management (DRM) content-protection. Addition of a write-protect notch Full-size SD cards do not fit into the slimmer MMC slots, and other issues also affect the ability to use one format in a host device designed for the other. SDHC [ edit]Official SDHC logo The Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) format, announced in January 2006 and defined in version 2.0 of the SD specification, supports cards with capacities up to 32 GB. [5] The SDHC trademark is licensed to ensure compatibility. [8]SDHC cards are physically and electrically identical to standard-capacity SD cards (SDSC). The major compatibility issues between SDHC and SDSC cards are the redefinition of the Card-Specific Data (CSD) register in version 2.0 (see below ), and the fact that SDHC cards are shipped preformatted with the FAT32 file system. Version 2.0 also introduces a High-speed bus mode for both SDSC and SDHC cards, which doubles the original Standard Speed clock to produce 25 MB/s. [9]SDHC host devices are required to accept older SD cards. [10] However, older host devices do not recognize SDHC or SDXC memory cards, although some devices can do so through a firmware upgrade. [11] Older Windows operating systems released before Windows 7 require patches or service packs to support access to SDHC cards. [12] [13] [14]SDXC [ edit]Official SDXC logo The Secure Digital e Xtended Capacity (SDXC) format, announced in January 2009 and defined in version 3.01 of the SD specification, supports cards up to 2 TB (2048 GB), compared to a limit of 32 GB for SDHC cards in the SD 2.0 specification. SDXC adopts Microsoft's ex FAT file system as a mandatory feature. [15]Version 3.01 also introduced the Ultra High Speed (UHS) bus for both SDHC and SDXC cards, with interface speeds from 50 MByte/s to 104 MByte/s for four-bit UHS-I bus. [16]Version 4.0, introduced in June 2011, allows speeds of 156 MByte/s to 312 MByte/s over the four-lane (two differential lanes) UHS-II bus, which requires an additional row of physical pins. [16]Version 5.0 was announced in February 2016 at CP+ 2016, and added "Video Speed Class" ratings for UHS cards to handle higher resolution video formats like 8K. [17] [18] The new ratings define a minimum write speed of 90 MB/s. [19] [20]ex FAT filesystem [ edit]Main article: ex FATThis section needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (October 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)SDXC cards utilize the ex FAT file system, the use of which is governed by a proprietary license, thereby limiting its legal availability to a small set of operating systems. Therefore, ex FAT-formatted SDXC cards are not a universally readable exchange medium. Windows Vista (SP1) and later [21] and OS X (10.6.5 and later) support ex FAT out of the box. [22] [23] (Windows XP and Server 2003 can support ex FAT via an optional update from Microsoft.) [24] Most BSD and Linux distributions do not, for legal reasons; users must manually install third-party implementations of ex FAT (as a FUSE module) in order to be able to mount ex FAT-formatted volumes. [25] However, SDXC cards can be reformatted to use any file system (such as ext2, UFS, or VFAT ), alleviating the restrictions associated with ex FAT availability. Nevertheless, in order to be fully compliant with the SDXC card specification, many SDXC-capable host devices are firmware-programmed to expect ex FAT on cards larger than 32 GB [ citation needed]. Consequently, they may not accept SDXC cards reformatted as FAT32, even if the device supports FAT32 on smaller cards (for SDHC compatibility). Therefore, even if a file system is supported in general, it is not always possible to use alternative file systems on SDXC cards at all depending on how strictly the SDXC card specification has been implemented in the host device. This bears a risk of accidental loss of data, as a host device may treat a card with an unrecognized file system as blank or damaged and reformat the card. The SD Association provides a formatting utility for Windows and Mac OS X that checks and formats SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards. [26]Ultra High Speed (UHS) bus [ edit]Back side of a Lexar UHS-II micro SDHC card, showing the additional row of UHS-II connections The Ultra High Speed (UHS) bus is available on some SDHC and SDXC cards. [27] [28] [29] The following ultra-high speeds are specified: UHS-ISpecified in SD version 3.01, [30] supports a clock frequency of 100 MHz (a quadrupling of the original "Default Speed"), which in four-bit transfer mode could transfer 50 MB/s (SDR50). UHS-I cards declared as UHS104 (SDR104) also support a clock frequency of 208 MHz, which could transfer 104 MB/s. Double data rate operation at 50 MHz (DDR50) is also specified in Version 3.01, and is mandatory for micro SDHC and micro SDXC cards labeled as UHS-I. In this mode, four bits are transferred when the clock signal rises and another four bits when it falls, transferring an entire byte on each full clock cycle, hence a 50 MB/s operation could be transferred using a 50 MHz clock. UHS-IISD card reader Specified in version 4.0, further raises the data transfer rate to a theoretical maximum of 156 MB/s (full duplex) or 312 MB/s (half duplex) using an additional row of pins [31] [32] (a total of 17 pins for full-size and 16 pins for micro-size cards). [27]UHS-IIIVersion 6.0, released in February 2017, added two new data rates to the standard. FD312 provides 312 MB/s while FD624 doubles that. Both are full-duplex. The physical interface and pin-layout are the same as with UHS-II, retaining backward compatibility. [33]Cards that comply with UHS show Roman numerals 'I', 'II' or 'III' next to the SD card logo, [27] [34] and report this capability to the host device. Use of UHS-I requires that the host device command the card to drop from 3.3-volt to 1.8-volt operation over the I/O interface pins and select the four-bit transfer mode, while UHS-II requires 0.4-volt operation. The higher speed rates are achieved by using a two-lane low voltage (0.4 V pp) differential interface. Each lane is capable of transferring up to 156 MB/s. In full duplex mode, one lane is used for Transmit while the other is used for Receive. In half duplex mode both lanes are used for the same direction of data transfer allowing a double data rate at the same clock speed. In addition to enabling higher data rates, the UHS-II interface allows for lower interface power consumption, lower I/O voltage and lower electromagnetic interference (EMI). Speeds [ edit]SD card speed is customarily rated by its sequential read or write speed. The sequential performance aspect is the most relevant for storing and retrieving large files (relative to block sizes internal to the flash memory ), such as images and multimedia. Small data (such as file names, sizes and timestamps) falls under the much lower speed limit of random access, which can be the limiting factor in some use cases. [35] [36] [37]With early SD cards, a few card manufacturers specified the speed as a "times" ("×") rating, which compared the average speed of reading data to that of the original CD-ROM drive. This was superseded by the Speed Class Rating, which guarantees a minimum rate at which data can be written to the card. [34]The newer families of SD card improve card speed by increasing the bus rate (the frequency of the clock signal that strobes information into and out of the card). Whatever the bus rate, the card can signal to the host that it is "busy" until a read or a write operation is complete. Compliance with a higher speed rating is a guarantee that the card limits its use of the "busy" indication.

Both read and write speeds must exceed the specified value. The specification defines these classes in terms of performance curves that translate into the following minimum read-write performance levels on an empty card and suitability for different applications: [30] [34] [40] [41]Front side of a 32GB Lexar 1000x Micro SDHC UHS-II class U3Minimum sequential writing speed Speed Class UHS Speed Class Video Speed Class Application2 MB/s Class 2 (C2) - - SD video recording4 MB/s Class 4 (C4) - -High-definition video (HD) recording including Full HD (from 720p to 1080p/1080i)6 MB/s Class 6 (C6) - Class 6 (V6)10 MB/s Class 10 (C10) Class 1 (U1) Class 10 (V10) Full HD (1080p) video recording and consecutive recording of HD stills (High Speed bus, Class C10), real-time broadcasts and large HD video files (UHS bus, Classes U1 and V10)30 MB/s - Class 3 (U3) Class 30 (V30) 1080p and 4K video files at 60/120 fps (UHS bus)60 MB/s - - Class 60 (V60)8K video files at 60/120 fps (UHS bus)90 MB/s - - Class 90 (V90)Application Performance Class Minimum sustained sequential writing speed Minimum random read Minimum random write Class 1 (A1) 10 MB/s 1500 IOPS 500 IOPSClass 2 (A2) 4000 IOPS 2000 IOPSSpeed classes 2, 4, and 6 assert that the card supports the respective number of megabytes per second as a minimum sustained write speed for a card in a fragmented state. Class 10 asserts that the card supports 10 MB/s as a minimum non-fragmented sequential write speed and uses a High Speed bus mode. [30] The host device can read a card's speed class and warn the user if the card reports a speed class that falls below an application's minimum need. [30] By comparison, the older "×" rating measured maximum speed under ideal conditions, and was vague as to whether this was read speed or write speed. The graphical symbol for the speed class has a number encircled with 'C' (C2, C4, C6, and C10). UHS-I and UHS-II cards can use UHS Speed Class rating with two possible grades: class 1 for minimum read/write performance of at least 10 MB/s ('U1' symbol featuring number 1 inside 'U') and class 3 for minimum write performance of 30 MB/s ('U3' symbol featuring 3 inside 'U'), targeted at recording 4K video. [42] Before November 2013, the rating was branded UHS Speed Grade and contained grades 0 (no symbol) and 1 ('U1' symbol). Manufacturers can also display standard speed class symbols (C2, C4, C6, and C10) alongside, or in place of UHS speed class. Video Speed Class defines a set of requirements for UHS cards to match the modern MLC NAND flash memory [19] and supports progressive 4K and 8K video with minimum sequential writing speeds of 6-90 MB/s. [17] [34] [40] The graphical symbols use 'V' followed by a number designating write speed (V6, V10, V30, V60, and V90). Application Performance Class is a newly defined standard from the SD Specification 5.1 and 6.0 which not only define sequential Reading Speeds but also mandates a minimum IOPS for reading and writing. Class A1 requires a minimum of 1500 reading and 500 writing operations per second, while class A2 requires 4000 and 2000 IOPS. [43]UHS memory cards work best with UHS host devices. The combination lets the user record HD resolution videos with tapeless camcorders while performing other functions. It is also suitable for real-time broadcasts and capturing large HD videos. The most important advice [ according to whom?] to consumers is to continue to match SD card purchases to an application's recommended speed class. Applications that require a specific speed class usually specify this in their user manuals. "×" rating [ edit]Rating Approx. (MB/s) Comparable Speed Class16× 2.34 (13×)32× 4.69 (27×)48× 7.03 (40×)100× 14.6 (67×)Main article: CD and DVD writing speed The "×" rating, that was used by some card manufacturers and made obsolete by speed classes, is a multiple of the standard CD-ROM drive speed of 150 Ki B/s (approximately 1.23 Mbit/s ). Basic cards transfer data at up to six times (6×) the CD-ROM speed; that is, 900 Ki B/s or 7.37 Mbit/s. The 2.0 specification [ clarification needed] defines speeds up to 200×, but is not as specific as Speed Classes are on how to measure speed. Manufacturers may report best-case speeds and may report the card's fastest read speed, which is typically faster than the write speed. Some vendors, including Transcend and Kingston, report their cards' write speed. [44] When a card lists both a speed class and an "×" rating, the latter may be assumed a read speed only. Real-world performance [ edit]In applications that require sustained write throughput, such as video recording, the device might not perform satisfactorily if the SD card's class rating falls below a particular speed. For example, a high-definition camcorder may require a card of not less than Class 6, suffering dropouts or corrupted video if a slower card is used. Digital cameras with slow cards may take a noticeable time after taking a photograph before being ready for the next, while the camera writes the first picture. The speed class rating does not totally characterize card performance. Different cards of the same class may vary considerably while meeting class specifications. A card's speed depends on many factors, including: The frequency of soft errors that the card's controller must re-try Write amplification: The flash controller may need to overwrite more data than requested. This has to do with performing read-modify-write operations on write blocks, freeing up (the much larger) erase blocks, while moving data around to achieve wear leveling. File fragmentation: where there is not sufficient space for a file to be recorded in a contiguous region, it is split into non-contiguous fragments. This does not cause rotational or head-movement delays as with electromechanical hard drives, but may decrease speed; for instance, by requiring additional reads and computation to determine where on the card the file's next fragment is stored. In addition, speed may vary markedly between writing a large amount of data to a single file ( sequential access, as when a digital camera records large photographs or videos) and writing a large number of small files (a random-access use common in smartphones ). A study in 2012 found that, in this random-access use, some Class 2 cards achieved a write speed of 1.38 MB/s, while all cards tested of Class 6 or greater (and some of lower Classes; lower Class does not necessarily mean better small-file performance), including those from major manufacturers, were over 100 times slower. [35] In 2014, a blogger measured a 300-fold performance difference on small writes; this time, the best card in this category was a class 4 card.

(October 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Unlocked and locked SD cards The user can designate most full-size SD cards as read-only by use of a sliding tab that covers a notch in the card. The mini SD and micro SD formats do not support a write protection notch. When looking at the SD card from the top, the right side (the side with the beveled corner) must be notched. On the left side, there may be a write-protection notch. If the notch is omitted, the card can be read and written. If the card is notched, it is read-only. If the card has a notch and a sliding tab which covers the notch, the user can slide the tab upward (toward the contacts) to declare the card read/write, or downward to declare it read-only. The diagram to the right shows an orange sliding write-protect tab in both the unlocked and locked positions. The presence of a notch, and the presence and position of a tab, have no effect on the SD card's operation. A host device that supports write protection should refuse to write to an SD card that is designated read-only in this way. Some host devices do not support write protection, which is an optional feature of the SD specification. Drivers and devices that do obey a read-only indication may give the user a way to override it. Cards sold with content that must not be altered are permanently marked read-only by having a notch and no sliding tab. Card password [ edit]This section does not cite any sources.

(October 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Micro SD to SD adapter (left), micro SD to mini SD adapter (middle), micro SD card (right)A host device can lock an SD card using a password of up to 16 bytes, typically supplied by the user. A locked card interacts normally with the host device except that it rejects commands to read and write data. A locked card can be unlocked only by providing the same password. The host device can, after supplying the old password, specify a new password or disable locking. Without the password (typically, in the case that the user forgets the password), the host device can command the card to erase all the data on the card for future re-use (except card data under DRM), but there is no way to gain access to the existing data. Windows Phone 8 devices use SD cards designed for access only by the phone manufacturer or mobile provider. An SD card inserted into the phone underneath the battery compartment becomes locked "to the phone with an automatically generated key" so that "the SD card cannot be read by another phone, device, or PC". [45] Symbian devices, however, are some of the few that can perform the necessary low-level format operations on locked SD cards. It is therefore possible to use a device such as the Nokia N8 to reformat the card for subsequent use in other devices. [46]smart SD cards [ edit]A smart SD memory card is a micro SD card with an internal "secure element" that allows the transfer of ISO 7816 Application Protocol Data Unit commands to, for example, Java Card applets running on the internal secure element through the SD bus. [47]Various implementations of smart SD cards have been done for payment applications and secured authentication. [48] [49]micro SD cards with Secure Element and NFC ( near field communication) support are used for payment and secure access. [50] [51]Vendor enhancements [ edit]SD cards with dual interfaces: SD and USBVendors have sought to differentiate their products in the market through various vendor-specific features: Integrated Wi-Fi – Several companies produce SD cards with built-in Wi-Fi transceivers supporting static security (WEP 40; 104; and 128, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK). The card lets any digital camera with an SD slot transmit captured images over a wireless network, or store the images on the card's memory until it is in range of a wireless network. Examples include: Eye-Fi / San Disk, Transcend Wi-Fi, Toshiba Flash Air, Trek Flucard, PQI Air Card and LZeal ez Share. [52] Some models geotag their pictures. Pre-loaded content – In 2006, San Disk announced Gruvi, a micro SD card with extra digital rights management features, which they intended as a medium for publishing content. San Disk again announced pre-loaded cards in 2008, under the slot Music name, this time not using any of the DRM capabilities of the SD card. [53] In 2011, San Disk offered various collections of 1000 songs on a single slot Music card for about $40, [54] now restricted to compatible devices and without the ability to copy the files. Integrated USB connector – The San Disk SD Plus product can be plugged directly into a USB port without needing a USB card reader. [55] Other companies introduced comparable products, such as the Duo SD product of OCZ Technology and the 3 Way (micro SDHC, SDHC, and USB) product of A-DATA, which was available in 2008 only. Different colors – San Disk has used various colors of plastic or adhesive label, including a "gaming" line in translucent plastic colors that indicated the card's capacity. Integrated display – In 2006, A-DATA announced a Super Info SD card with a digital display that provided a two-character label and showed the amount of unused memory on the card. [56]SDIO cards [ edit]This section does not cite any sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (October 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Camera using the SDIO interface to connect to some HP i PAQ devices A SDIO (Secure Digital Input Output) card is an extension of the SD specification to cover I/O functions. SDIO cards are only fully functional in host devices designed to support their input-output functions (typically PDAs like the Palm Treo, but occasionally laptops or mobile phones). These devices can use the SD slot to support GPS receivers, modems, barcode readers, FM radio tuners, TV tuners, RFID readers, digital cameras, and interfaces to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, and Ir DA. Many other SDIO devices have been proposed, but it is now more common for I/O devices to connect using the USB interface. SDIO cards support most of the memory commands of SD cards. SDIO cards can be structured as eight logical cards, although currently, the typical way that an SDIO card uses this capability is to structure itself as one I/O card and one memory card. The SDIO and SD interfaces are mechanically and electrically identical. Host devices built for SDIO cards generally accept SD memory cards without I/O functions. However, the reverse is not true, because host devices need suitable drivers and applications to support the card's I/O functions. For example, an HP SDIO camera usually does not work with PDAs that do not list it as an accessory. Inserting an SDIO card into any SD slot causes no physical damage nor disruption to the host device, but users may be frustrated that the SDIO card does not function fully when inserted into a seemingly compatible slot. (USB and Bluetooth devices exhibit comparable compatibility issues, although to a lesser extent thanks to standardized USB device classes and Bluetooth profiles . )The SDIO family comprises Low-Speed and Full-Speed cards. Both types of SDIO cards support SPI and one-bit SD bus types. Low-Speed SDIO cards are allowed to also support the four-bit SD bus; Full-Speed SDIO cards are required to support the four-bit SD bus. To use an SDIO card as a "combo card" (for both memory and I/O), the host device must first select four-bit SD bus operation. Two other unique features of Low-Speed SDIO are a maximum clock rate of 400 k Hz for all communications, and the use of Pin 8 as "interrupt" to try to initiate dialogue with the host device. [57]Ganging cards together The one-bit SD protocol was derived from the MMC protocol, which envisioned the ability to put up to three cards on a bus of common signal lines. The cards use open collector interfaces, where a card may pull a line to the low voltage level; the line is at the high voltage level (because of a pull-up resistor) if no card pulls it low. Though the cards shared clock and signal lines, each card had its own chip select line to sense that the host device had selected it. [ citation needed]The SD protocol envisioned the ability to gang 30 cards together without separate chip select lines. The host device would broadcast commands to all cards and identify the card to respond to the command using its unique serial number. [ citation needed]In practice, cards are rarely ganged together because open-collector operation has problems at high speeds and increases power consumption. Newer versions of the SD specification recommend separate lines to each card. [ citation needed]Compatibility [ edit]Host devices that comply with newer versions of the specification provide backward compatibility and accept older SD cards. [10] For example, SDXC host devices accept all previous families of SD memory cards, and SDHC host devices also accept standard SD cards. Older host devices generally do not support newer card formats, and even when they might support the bus interface used by the card, [6] there are several factors that arise: A newer card may offer greater capacity than the host device can handle (over 4 GB for SDHC, over 32 GB for SDXC). A newer card may use a file system the host device cannot navigate ( FAT32 for SDHC, ex FAT for SDXC)Use of an SDIO card requires the host device be designed for the input/output functions the card provides. The hardware interface of the card was changed starting with the version 2.0 (new high-speed bus clocks, redefinition of storage capacity bits) and SDHC family (Ultra-high speed (UHS) bus)UHS-II has physically more pins but is backwards compatible to UHS-I and non-UHS for both slot and card. [27]Some vendors produced SDSC cards above 1GB before the SDA had standardized a method of doing so.

Beneath it is a section of a magnetic-core memory (used until the 1970s) that holds eight bytes using 64 cores. The card covers approximately 20 bits (2 1/2 bytes) This SD card's storage is approximately 3.5 billion times greater areal density. In 1999, San Disk, Matsushita, and Toshiba agreed to develop and market the Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card. [58] The card was derived from the Multi Media Card (MMC) and provided digital rights management based on the Secure Digital Music Initiative (SDMI) standard and for the time, a high memory density. It was designed to compete with the Memory Stick, a DRM product that Sony had released the year before. Developers predicted that DRM would induce wide use by music suppliers concerned about piracy. [59]The trademarked SD logo was originally developed for the Super Density Disc, which was the unsuccessful Toshiba entry in the DVD format war. For this reason the D within the logo resembles an optical disc. At the 2000 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) trade show, the three companies announced the creation of the SD Association (SDA) to promote SD cards. The SD Association, headquartered in San Ramon, California, United States, started with about 30 companies and today consists of about 1,000 product manufacturers that make interoperable memory cards and devices. Early samples of the SD Card became available in the first quarter of 2000, with production quantities of 32 and 64 MB cards available three months later. Mini- and micro-cards [ edit]The mini SD form was introduced at March 2003 Ce BIT by San Disk Corporation which announced and demonstrated it. [60] The SDA adopted the mini SD card in 2003 as a small form factor extension to the SD card standard. While the new cards were designed especially for mobile phones, they are usually packaged with a mini SD adapter that provides compatibility with a standard SD memory card slot. In September 2006, San Disk announced the 4 GB mini SDHC. [61] Like the SD and SDHC, the mini SDHC card has the same form factor as the older mini SD card but the HC card requires HC support built into the host device. Devices that support mini SDHC work with mini SD and mini SDHC, but devices without specific support for mini SDHC work only with the older mini SD card. Since 2008, mini SD cards were no longer produced. The micro SD removable miniaturized Secure Digital flash memory cards were originally named T-Flash or TF, abbreviations of Trans Flash. Trans Flash and micro SD cards are functionally identical allowing either to operate in devices made for the other. [62] San Disk had conceived micro SD when its chief technology officer and the chief technology officer of Motorola concluded that current memory cards were too large for mobile phones. The card was originally called T-Flash, but just before product launch, T-Mobile sent a cease-and-desist order to San Disk claiming that T-Mobile owned the trademark on T- (anything), [ citation needed] and the name was changed to Trans Flash. At CTIA Wireless 2005, the SDA announced the small micro SD form factor along with SDHC secure digital high capacity formatting in excess of 2 GB with a minimum sustained read and write speed of 17.6 Mbit/s. San Disk induced the SDA to administer the micro SD standard. The SDA approved the final micro SD specification on July 13, 2005. Initially, micro SD cards were available in capacities of 32, 64, and 128 MB. The Motorola E398 was the first mobile phone to contain a Trans Flash (later micro SD) card. A few years later, their competitors began using micro SD cards. SDIO, SDHC, and SDXC [ edit]In April 2006, the SDA released a detailed specification for the non-security related parts of the SD memory card standard and for the Secure Digital Input Output (SDIO) cards and the standard SD host controller. [ citation needed]The SDHC format, announced in January 2006, brought improvements such as 32 GB storage capacity and mandatory support for FAT32 filesystems. [ citation needed]In January 2009, the SDA announced the SDXC family, which supports cards up to 2 TB and speeds up to 300 MB/s. [ citation needed] It features mandatory support for the ex FAT filesystem. [ citation needed]SDXC was announced at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2009 (January 7–10, 2009). At the same show, San Disk and Sony also announced a comparable Memory Stick XC variant with the same 2 TB maximum as SDXC, [63] and Panasonic announced plans to produce 64 GB SDXC cards. [64]On March 6, 2009, Pretec introduced the first SDXC card, [65] a 32 GB card with a read/write speed of 400 Mbit/s. But only early in 2010 did compatible host devices come onto the market, including Sony 's Handycam HDR-CX55V camcorder, Canon 's EOS 550D (also known as Rebel T2i) Digital SLR camera, [66] a USB card reader from Panasonic, and an integrated SDXC card reader from JMicron. [67] The earliest laptops to integrate SDXC card readers relied on a USB 2.0 bus, which does not have the bandwidth to support SDXC at full speed. [68]Also in early 2010, commercial SDXC cards appeared from Toshiba (64 GB), [69] [70] Panasonic (64 GB and 48 GB), [71] and San Disk (64 GB). [72] In early 2011, Centon Electronics, Inc. (64 GB and 128 GB) and Lexar (128 GB) began shipping SDXC cards rated at Speed Class 10. [73] Pretec offered cards from 8 GB to 128 GB rated at Speed Class 16. [74]In September 2011, San Disk released a 64 GB micro SDXC card. [75] Kingmax released a comparable product in 2011. [76]In late 2012, Lexar released the first 256 GB SDXC card, based on 20 nm NAND flash technology. [77]In April 2012, Panasonic introduced Micro P2 card format for professional video applications. The cards are essentially full-size SDHC or SDXC UHS-II cards, rated at UHS Speed Class U1. [78] [79] An adapter allows Micro P2 cards to work in current P2 card equipment. [80] Panasonic Micro P2 cards shipped in March 2013 and were the first UHS-II compliant products on market; initial offer includes a 32GB SDHC card and a 64GB SDXC card. [78] [81]In February 2014, San Disk introduced the first 128 GB micro SDXC card, [82] which was followed by a 200 GB micro SDXC card in March 2015. [83] September 2014 saw San Disk announce the first 512 GB SDXC card. [84]Samsung announced the world's first EVO Plus 256 GB micro SDXC card in May 2016. [85] and in September 2016 Western Digital announced that a prototype of the first 1 TB SDXC card will be demonstrated at Photokina. [86]In August 2017, San Disk launched a 400 GB micro SDXC card. [87]Markets [ edit]Secure Digital cards are used in many consumer electronic devices, and have become a widespread means of storing several gigabytes of data in a small size. [ citation needed] Devices in which the user may remove and replace cards often, such as digital cameras, camcorders, and video game consoles, tend to use full-sized cards. [ citation needed] Devices in which small size is paramount, such as mobile phones, tend to use micro SD cards. [ citation needed]The micro SD card has helped propel the smartphone market by giving both manufacturers and consumers greater flexibility and freedom. [ according to whom?] Due to their compact size, micro SD cards are used in many [ which?] different applications in a large variety [ which?] of markets. Action cameras, such as the Go PRO's Hero and cameras in drones, frequently use micro SD cards. [ citation needed]Latest versions of major operating systems, including Windows Mobile and Android Marshmallow, allow applications to run from micro SD cards creating possibilities for new usage models for SD cards in mobile computing markets. [88]SD cards are not the most economical solution in devices that need only a small amount of non-volatile memory, such as station presets in small radios. They may also not present the best choice for applications that require higher storage capacities or speeds as provided by other flash card standards such as Compact Flash. These limitations may be addressed by evolving memory technologies, such as the world's highest capacity San Disk Ultra 200GB micro SD released in 2015. [89]Samsung Pro 64 GB micro SDXC original (left) and counterfeit (right): The counterfeit claims to have 64 GB in capacity, but only 8 GB (Class 4 speed) are usable: When trying to write more than 8 GB, data loss occurs. Also used for San Disk 64 GB fakes. Many personal computers of all types, including tablets and mobile phones, use SD cards, either through built-in slots or through an active electronic adapter. Adapters exist for the PC card, Express Bus, USB, Fire Wire, and the parallel printer port. Active adapters also let SD cards be used in devices designed for other formats, such as Compact Flash. The Flash Path adapter lets SD cards be used in a floppy disk drive.

(October 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)SD/MMC cards replaced Toshiba 's Smart Media as the dominant memory card format used in digital cameras. In 2001, Smart Media had achieved nearly 50% use, but, by 2005, SD/MMC had achieved over 40% of the digital camera market and Smart Media's share had plummeted by 2007. At this time, all the leading digital camera manufacturers used SD in their consumer product lines, including Canon, Casio, Fujifilm, Kodak, Leica, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Ricoh, Samsung, and Sony. Formerly, Olympus and Fujifilm used XD-Picture Cards (x D cards) exclusively, while Sony only used Memory Stick; by early 2010 all three supported SD. Some prosumer and professional digital cameras continued to offer Compact Flash (CF), either on a second card slot or as the only storage, as CF supports much higher maximum capacities and historically was cheaper for the same capacity. Secure Digital memory cards can be used in Sony XDCAM EX camcorders with an adapter [95] and in Panasonic P2 card equipment with a Micro P2 adapter. Personal computers [ edit]Although many personal computers accommodate SD cards as an auxiliary storage device using a built-in slot, or can accommodate SD cards by means of a USB adapter, SD cards cannot be used as the primary hard disk through the onboard ATA controller, because none of the SD card variants support ATA signalling. Primary hard disk use requires a separate SD controller chip [96] or an SD-to-Compact Flash converter. However, on computers that support bootstrapping from a USB interface, an SD card in a USB adapter can be the primary hard disk, provided it contains an operating system that supports USB access once the bootstrap is complete. Since late 2009, newer Apple computers with installed SD card readers have been able to boot in mac OS from SD storage devices, when properly formatted to Mac OS Extended file format and the default partition table set to GUID Partition Table. [97] (See Other file systems below). Embedded systems [ edit]A shield ( daughterboard) that gives Arduino prototyping microprocessors access to SD cards In 2008, the SDA specified Embedded SD, "leverag [ing] well-known SD standards" to enable non-removable SD-style devices on printed circuit boards. [98] However this standard was not adopted by the market while the MMC standard became the de facto standard for embedded systems. San Disk provides such embedded memory components under the i NAND brand. [99]Most modern microcontrollers have built-in SPI logic that can interface to an SD card operating in its SPI mode, providing non-volatile storage. Even if a microcontroller lacks the SPI feature, the feature can be emulated by bit banging. For example, a home-brew hack combines spare General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins of the processor of the Linksys WRT54G router with MMC support code from the Linux kernel. [100] This technique can achieve throughput of up to 1.6 Mbit/s. Technical details [ edit]Physical size [ edit]The SD card specification defines three physical sizes. The SD and SDHC families are available in all three sizes, but the SDXC family is not available in the mini size, and the SDIO family is not available in the micro size. Smaller cards are usable in larger slots through use of a passive adapter.

The SPI bus mode and one-bit SD bus mode are mandatory for all SD families, as explained in the next section. Once the host device and the SD card negotiate a bus interface mode, the usage of the numbered pins is the same for all card sizes. SPI bus mode: Serial Peripheral Interface Bus is primarily used by embedded microcontrollers. This bus type supports only a 3.3-volt interface. This is the only bus type that does not require a host license. One-bit SD bus mode: Separate command and data channels and a proprietary transfer format. Four-bit SD bus mode: Uses extra pins plus some reassigned pins. This is the same protocol as the one-bit SD bus mode which uses one command and four data lines for faster data transfer. All SD cards support this mode. UHS-I and UHS-II require this bus type. Two differential lines SD UHS-II mode: Uses two low-voltage differential interfaces to transfer commands and data. UHS-II cards include this interface in addition to the SD bus modes. The physical interface comprises 9 pins, except that the mini SD card adds two unconnected pins in the center and the micro SD card omits one of the two V SS (Ground) pins. [102]Official pin numbers for each card type (top to bottom): MMC, SD, mini SD, micro SD. This shows the evolution from the older MMC, on which SD is based. NOTE: This drawing doesn't show 8 new UHS-II contacts that were added in spec 4.0.

Interface [ edit]Inside a 512 MB SD card: NAND flash chip that holds the data (bottom) and SD controller (top)Inside a 2 GB SD card: two NAND flash chips (top and middle), SD controller chip (bottom)Inside a 16 GB SDHC card Command interface [ edit]SD cards and host devices initially communicate through a synchronous one-bit interface, where the host device provides a clock signal that strobes single bits in and out of the SD card. The host device thereby sends 48-bit commands and receives responses. The card can signal that a response will be delayed, but the host device can abort the dialogue. [30]Through issuing various commands, the host device can: [30]Determine the type, memory capacity, and capabilities of the SD card Command the card to use a different voltage, different clock speed, or advanced electrical interface Prepare the card to receive a block to write to the flash memory, or read and reply with the contents of a specified block. The command interface is an extension of the Multi Media Card (MMC) interface. SD cards dropped support for some of the commands in the MMC protocol, but added commands related to copy protection. By using only commands supported by both standards until determining the type of card inserted, a host device can accommodate both SD and MMC cards. Electrical interface [ edit]All SD card families initially use a 3.3 volt electrical interface. On command, SDHC and SDXC cards can switch to 1.8 V operation. [30]At initial power-up or card insertion, the host device selects either the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus or the one-bit SD bus by the voltage level present on Pin 1. Thereafter, the host device may issue a command to switch to the four-bit SD bus interface, if the SD card supports it. For various card types, support for the four-bit SD bus is either optional or mandatory. [30]After determining that the SD card supports it, the host device can also command the SD card to switch to a higher transfer speed. Until determining the card's capabilities, the host device should not use a clock speed faster than 400 k Hz. SD cards other than SDIO (see below) have a "Default Speed" clock rate of 25 MHz. The host device is not required to use the maximum clock speed that the card supports. It may operate at less than the maximum clock speed to conserve power. [30] Between commands, the host device can stop the clock entirely. Achieving higher card speeds [ edit]The SD specification defines four-bit-wide transfers. (The MMC specification supports this and also defines an eight-bit-wide mode; MMC cards with extended bits were not accepted by the market.) Transferring several bits on each clock pulse improves the card speed. Advanced SD families have also improved speed by offering faster clock frequencies and double data rate (explained here) in a high-speed differential interface (UHS-II). [ citation needed]File system [ edit]Like other types of flash memory card, an SD card of any SD family is a block-addressable storage device, in which the host device can read or write fixed-size blocks by specifying their block number. [ citation needed]MBR and FAT [ edit]Most SD cards ship preformatted with one or more MBR partitions, where the first or only partition contains a file system. This lets them operate like the hard disk of a personal computer. Per the SD card specification, an SD card is formatted with MBR and the following file system: For SDSC cards: Capacity of less than 32,680 logical sectors (smaller than 16 MB): FAT12 with partition type 01h and BPB 3.0 or EBPB 4.1 [103]Capacity of 32,680 to 65,535 logical sectors (between 16 MB and 32 MB): FAT16 with partition type 04h and BPB 3.0 or EBPB 4.1 [103]Capacity of at least 65,536 logical sectors (larger than 32 MB): FAT16B with partition type 06h and EBPB 4.1 [103]For SDHC cards: Capacity of less than 16,450,560 logical sectors (smaller than 7.8 GB): FAT32 with partition type 0Bh and EBPB 7.1Capacity of at least 16,450,560 logical sectors (larger than 7.8 GB): FAT32 with partition type 0Ch and EBPB 7.1For SDXC cards: ex FAT with partition type 07h Most consumer products that take an SD card expect that it is partitioned and formatted in this way. Universal support for FAT12, FAT16, FAT16B, and FAT32 allows the use of SDSC and SDHC cards on most host computers with a compatible SD reader, to present the user with the familiar method of named files in a hierarchical directory tree. On such SD cards, standard utility programs such as Mac OS X's " Disk Utility " or Windows' SCANDISK can be used to repair a corrupted filing system and sometimes recover deleted files. Defragmentation tools for FAT file systems may be used on such cards. The resulting consolidation of files may provide a marginal improvement in the time required to read or write the file, [104] but not an improvement comparable to defragmentation of hard drives, where storing a file in multiple fragments requires additional physical, and relatively slow, movement of a drive head. Moreover, defragmentation performs writes to the SD card that count against the card's rated lifespan. The write endurance of the physical memory is discussed in the article on flash memory; newer technology to increase the storage capacity of a card provides worse write endurance. When reformatting an SD card with a capacity of at least 32 MB (65536 logical sectors or more), but not more than 2 GB, FAT16B with partition type 06h and EBPB 4.1 [103] is recommended if the card is for a consumer device. (FAT16B is also an option for 4 GB cards, but it requires the use of 64 ki B clusters, which are not widely supported.) FAT16B does not support cards above 4 GB at all. The SDXC specification mandates the use of Microsoft 's proprietary ex FAT file system, [105] which is supported only by some proprietary operating systems. Other file systems [ edit]This section needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (November 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Because the host views the SD card as a block storage device, the card does not require MBR partitions or any specific file system. The card can be reformatted to use any file system the operating system supports. For example: Under Windows, SD cards can be formatted using NTFS and, on later versions, ex FAT. Under mac OS, SD cards can be partitioned as GUID devices and formatted with either HFS Plus or APFS file systems or still use ex FAT. Under Unix-like operating systems such as Linux or Free BSD, SD cards can be formatted using the UFS, Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, btrfs, HFS Plus, Reiser FS or F2FS file system. Additionally under Linux, HFS Plus file systems may be accessed for read/write if the "hfsplus" package is installed, and partitioned and formatted if "hfsprogs" is installed. (These package names are correct under Debian, Ubuntu etc., but may differ on other Linux distributions. )Any recent version of the above can format SD cards using the UDF file system. Additionally, as with live USB flash drives, an SD card can have an operating system installed on it. Computers that can boot from an SD card (either using a USB adapter or inserted into the computer's flash media reader) instead of the hard disk drive may thereby be able to recover from a corrupted hard disk drive. [106] Such an SD card can be write-locked to preserve the system's integrity. The SD Standard allows usage of only the above-mentioned Microsoft FAT file systems and any card produced in the market shall be preloaded with the related standard file system upon its delivery to the market. If any application or user re-formats the card with a non-standard file system the proper operation of the card, including interoperability, cannot be assured. Risks of reformatting [ edit]Reformatting an SD card with a different file system, or even with the same one, may make the card slower, or shorten its lifespan. Some cards use wear leveling, in which frequently modified blocks are mapped to different portions of memory at different times, and some wear-leveling algorithms are designed for the access patterns typical of FAT12, FAT16 or FAT32. [107] In addition, the preformatted file system may use a cluster size that matches the erase region of the physical memory on the card; reformatting may change the cluster size and make writes less efficient. SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards have a "Protected Area" on the card for the SD standard's security function; a standard formatter may erase it, causing problems if security is used. The SD Association provides freely-downloadable SD Formatter software to overcome these problems for Windows and Mac OS X. [108] The SD Formatter does not format the "Protected Area", and the Association recommends the use of appropriate application software or SD-compatible device that provides SD security function to format the "Protected Area" in the memory card. Power consumption [ edit]The power consumption of SD cards varies by its speed mode, manufacturer and model. During transfer it may be in the range of 66–330 m W (20–100 m A at a supply voltage of 3.3 V). Specifications from Twin Mos technologies list a maximum of 149 m W (45 m A) during transfer. Toshiba lists 264–330 m W (80–100 m A). [109] Standby current is much lower, less than 0.2 m A for one 2006 micro SD card. [110] If there is data transfer for significant periods, battery life may be reduced noticeably (smartphones typically have batteries of capacity around 6 Wh (Samsung Galaxy S2, 1650 m Ah @ 3.7 V)). Modern UHS-II cards can consume up to 2.88 W, if the host device supports bus speed mode SDR104 or UHS-II. Minimum power consumption in the case of a UHS-II host is 0.72 W.

By the time the version 2.0 (SDHC) specification was completed in June 2006, [112] vendors had already devised 2 GB and 4 GB SD cards, either as specified in Version 1.01, or by creatively reading Version 1.00. The resulting cards do not work correctly in some host devices. [113] [114]SDSC cards above 1 GB [ edit]4 GB SDSC card A host device can ask any inserted SD card for its 128-bit identification string (the Card-Specific Data or CSD). In standard-capacity cards (SDSC), 12 bits identify the number of memory clusters (ranging from 1 to 4,096) and 3 bits identify the number of blocks per cluster (which decode to 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512 blocks per cluster). The host device multiplies these figures (as shown in the following section) with the number of bytes per block to determine the card's capacity in bytes. [ citation needed]SD version 1.00 assumed 512 bytes per block. This permitted SDSC cards up to 4,096 × 512 × 512 = 1 GB, for which there are no known incompatibilities. [ citation needed]Version 1.01 let an SDSC card use a 4-bit field to indicate 1,024 or 2,048 bytes per block instead. [30] Doing so enabled cards with 2 GB and 4 GB capacity, such as the Transcend 4 GB SD card and the Memorette 4GB SD card. Early SDSC host devices that assume 512-byte blocks therefore do not fully support the insertion of 2 GB or 4 GB cards. In some cases, the host device can read data that happens to reside in the first 1 GB of the card. If the assumption is made in the driver software, success may be version-dependent. In addition, any host device might not support a 4 GB SDSC card, since the specification lets it assume that 2 GB is the maximum for these cards. [ citation needed]Storage capacity calculations [ edit]The format of the Card-Specific Data (CSD) register changed between version 1 (SDSC) and version 2.0 (which defines SDHC and SDXC). Version 1 [ edit]In version 1 of the SD specification, capacities up to 2 GB are calculated by combining fields of the CSD as follows: Capacity= ( C_SIZE +1) × 2 ( C_SIZE_MULT + 2 + READ_BL_LEN) Where: 0 ≤ C_SIZE ≤ 4095, 0 ≤ C_SIZE_MULT ≤ 7, READ_BL_LEN is 9 (for 512 bytes/sector) or 10 (for 1024 bytes/sector)Later versions state (at Section 4.3.2) that a 2 GB SDSC card shall set its READ_BL_LEN (and WRITE_BL_LEN) to indicate 1024 bytes, so that the above computation correctly reports the card's capacity; but that, for consistency, the host device shall not request (by CMD16) block lengths over 512bytes. [30]Versions 2 and 3 [ edit]In the definition of SDHC cards in version 2.0, the C_SIZE portion of the CSD is 22 bits and it indicates the memory size in multiples of 512 KB (the C_SIZE_MULT field is removed and READ_BL_LEN is no longer used to compute capacity). Two bits that were formerly reserved now identify the card family: 0 is SDSC; 1 is SDHC or SDXC; 2 and 3 are reserved. [30] Because of these redefinitions, older host devices do not correctly identify SDHC or SDXC cards nor their correct capacity. SDHC cards are restricted to reporting a capacity not over 32 GB. SDXC cards are allowed to use all 22 bits of the C_SIZE field. An SDHC card that did so (reported C_SIZE > 65375 to indicate a capacity of over 32 GB) would violate the specification. A host device that relied on C_SIZE rather than the specification to determine the card's maximum capacity might support such a card, but the card might fail in other SDHC-compatible host devices. Capacity is calculated thus: Capacity= ( C_SIZE +1) × 524288 where for SDHC 4112 ≤ C_SIZE ≤ 65375 (approx. 2 GB) ≤ capacity ≤ 32 GB for SDXC 65535 ≤ C_SIZE 32GB ≤ capacity ≤ 2TB max. Capacities above 4 GB can only be achieved by following version 2.0 or later versions. In addition, capacities equal to 4 GB must also do so to guarantee compatibility. Openness of specification [ edit]Dismantled micro SD to SD adapter showing the passive connection from the micro SD card slot on the bottom to the SD pins on the top Like most memory card formats, SD is covered by numerous patents and trademarks. Royalties for SD card licences are imposed for manufacture and sale of memory cards and host adapters (US$1,000/year plus membership at US$1,500/year), but SDIO cards can be made without royalties. Early versions of the SD specification were available only after agreeing to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that prohibited development of an open source driver. However, the system was eventually reverse-engineered, and free software drivers provided access to SD cards that did not use DRM. Since then, the SDA has provided a simplified version of the specification under a less restrictive license. [115] Although most open-source drivers were written before this, it has helped to solve compatibility issues. In 2006, the SDA released a simplified version of the specification of the host controller interface (as opposed to the specification of SD cards) and later also for the physical layer, ASSD extensions, SDIO, and SDIO Bluetooth Type-A, under a disclaimers agreement. [116] Again, most of the information had already been discovered and Linux had a fully free driver for it. Still, building a chip conforming to this specification caused the One Laptop per Child project to claim "the first truly Open Source SD implementation, with no need to obtain an SDI license or sign NDAs to create SD drivers or applications." [117]The proprietary nature of the complete SD specification affects embedded systems, laptop computers, and some desktop computers; many desktop computers do not have card slots, instead using USB -based card readers if necessary. These card readers present a standard USB mass storage interface to memory cards, thus separating the operating system from the details of the underlying SD interface. However, embedded systems (such as portable music players) usually gain direct access to SD cards and thus need complete programming information. Desktop card readers are themselves embedded systems; their manufacturers have usually paid the SDA for complete access to the SD specifications. Many notebook computers now include SD card readers not based on USB; device drivers for these essentially gain direct access to the SD card, as do embedded systems. The SPI -bus interface mode is the only type that does not require a host license for accessing SD cards. Comparison to other flash memory formats [ edit]This section does not cite any sources.

Those open standards can be implemented without paying for licensing, royalties, or documentation. (Compact Flash and USB flash drives may require licensing fees for the use of the SDA's trademarked logos. )However, SD is much more open than Memory Stick, for which no public documentation nor any documented legacy implementation is available. All SD cards can be accessed freely using the well-documented SPI bus.x D cards are simply 18-pin NAND flash chips in a special package and support the standard command set for raw NAND flash access. Although the raw hardware interface to x D cards is well understood, the layout of its memory contents—necessary for interoperability with x D card readers and digital cameras—is totally undocumented. The consortium that licenses x D cards has not released any technical information to the public.

Open Document Children's Private Speech Walk into any classroom or playground full of young children aged from four years old through to six or seven, and you will be overwhelmed by the constant noise. Now think back to your own childhood, and try to recall if it was that noisy when you were that age. If you can¡¦t , you are probably like the majority of people. But you will definitely remember the adults in your life telling you to ¡§shut up¡¨, ¡§be quiet¡¨ and ¡§sshhh¡¨. Many Psychologists have noted what is actually being said in all this noise, and attempted to establish what level of communication is actually taking place, and the purpose of this communication. A large proportion of this talking has been labeled ¡§ private speech ¡¨. Private speech could be defined as the ¡§speech uttered aloud by children which appears to be addressed to either themselves or to no one in particular¡¨ (Allyn & Bacon, date unknown). Many people have attempted to explain why children use private speech so prominently, and to explain the role that it plays in a child¡¦s development, if any at all. Piaget (1926) looked at the private speech phenomenon and referred to it as ¡§egocentric speech¡¨, as he believed it was the result of children being cognitively immature. He observed many children between the ages of four and six, and concluded that their private speech was egocentric as they were unable to communicate the views of others. Piaget also concluded that their speech was solely for themselves, and served ¡§no developmental or social purpose¡¨ (Allyn & Bacon). It was also suggested that as children grow older and their social skills develop, and they are able to adopt the perspectives of people, the amount of private speech they use decreases. This can easily be illustrated in Figure 1. Fig. 1 The relationship between a child¡¦s age and the amount of private speech used. Not everyone agreed with Piaget¡¦s thoughts and findings. Isaacs (1930), through his studies and observations of children in a small experimental school, noticed an extremely large amount of socialization taking place between the students of this age bracket. He also noted that the use of egocentric speech was found only in rare instances (Allyn & Bacon). This was supported by the findings of Mc Carthy (1930), who found that egocentric speech was only noticed in one out of every twenty subjects in his study of children aged between 18 and 54 months.

Vygotsky (1934) ¡§founded a theory which held that private speech performed a vital, positive function in a child¡¦s development (Allyn & Bacon). Piaget¡¦s theory of 1926, illustrated a converse association between egocentric speech and social communication. This is represented in Figure 2. Fig. 2 Piaget¡¦s theory a converse association between egocentric and social speech. Vygotsky¡¦s beliefs were somewhat different to that of Piaget. ¡§Vygotsky believed that private speech emerged out of social speech until the private speech peeked¡¨ (Allyn & Bacon). This can best be represented in Figure 3. Private speech is an integral function in the integration of language with thought. It helps young children to master their own behaviour (Allyn & Bacon). As these children grow and mature, their private speech becomes more internalized, and less vocal, as it transforms into the child¡¦s inner thoughts (Vygotsky, 1934). This means that the level of private speech a child uses, will gradually decrease after it reaches it¡¦s previously mentioned peek, as seen in Figure 4. Fig. 3 Vygotsky¡¦s beliefs of the relationship private and social speech. Fig. 4 Vygotsky¡¦s belief on the behaviour of private speech. This increase and then decrease in the use of private speech is due to the fact that children use private speech when they are faced with a new or difficult task or obstacle. At the age of four through to seven, children generally have not matured enough to internalize their thought processes, and hence use their private speech as a self-guiding and self-directional function. A child at the age of two is likely to use this language to account for it¡¦s actions, then at the age of four, will more likely to use private speech while they work, and then as the child get older, they may use it to assist with the planning of what they are about to undertake. Vygotsky believed that a child would take the instructional language of more mature individuals to assist them in achieving a task. The child would take this language and them incorporate it into their own private speech, which would assist with the child¡¦s cognitive development. While Vygotsky¡¦s findings were revolutionary for their time, Behaviorists were not particularly concerned with the implications they had on language for cognitive development (Allyn & Bacon). As Vygotsky¡¦s work was not even translated into English until 1962, it wasn¡¦t until late in the 20th century when a resolution to the differences between Vygotsky¡¦s and Piaget¡¦s theories could be sought. This lead to a test of Vygotsky¡¦s findings in 1968 by Kohlberg, Yaeger and Hjertholm. Their study involved observing many middle class students aged between four and seven, while they were playing at school. Piaget¡¦s theory would have suggested that Kohlberg, Yaeger and Hjertholm would have found that the children, who exhibited the least private speech, would be the most mature socially. The Kohlberg study actually found the direct opposite, that the more social students were the ones exhibiting the most private speech. They also found that the private speech of the cognitively advanced students peeked earlier than the private speech of students not as advanced cognitively. This is diagrammed in Figure 5. Fig. 5 Demonstrates that cognitively advanced children develop their private speech earlier than less cognitively advanced children. Private speech appears systematically in young children (Winsler, Carlton and Barry, 2000). Kohlberg (et al. 1968) also found that private speech developed in a set progression, moving from one developmental stage, to another, becoming inner directed speech and then finally, thought (see Fig. 6). Fig. 6 The three distinct stages in the progression from private speech to thought. Kohlberg, Yaeger and Hjertholm believed that private speech serves this one solitary purpose. This was viewed as an extreme assumption, and questions were asked if their theory would stand true universally. In 1984, Berk and Garvin made an in-depth appraisal of Vygotsky¡¦s theory. Berk and Garvin observed the private speech patterns of 36 children aged between five and ten (Allyn & Bacon). Vygotsky¡¦s belief that the origin of private speech was primarily, social, and that it increases when tasks become more difficult, was supported by their findings. The view of Kohlberg, that private speech only served one purpose, was not. ¡§We concluded that children¡¦s private speech is multi-faceted and diverse, consisting of different types, each serving a distinct developmental purpose, and each running it¡¦s own course¡¨ (Berk and Garvin, 1984). These types that Berk and Garvin refer include: „h Word play „h Emotional expression „h Self-image development, and „h Self-guiding / self-directional. The next step was to look at the relationship between private speech and academic performance, to investigate whether private speech assisted in the learning or outstanding of the child. In 1986, Berk observed 75 students from the first and third grades, whilst sitting a Mathematics test. She found that there was a strong correlation between certain type of private speech and the students test results, which means that a child¡¦s performance could be predicted by looking at the type of private speech that they used. Berk also made the generalization that younger children, with more audible private speech, performed better academically. Fig. 7 1st Graders Observed; those with more audible private speech, performed better academically. For the older children, Berk found the opposite. Those that were able to internalize their private speech, performed better in their Math¡¦s tests. Fig. 7 3rd Graders Observed; those with less audible private speech, performed better academically. The implications of these findings are many. And there are many more issues that can be explored. Rubin (1982) examined socially withdrawn children and their use of private speech, and concluded that fewer social skills resulted in greater private speech or fantasy play. Similarly, at-risk students use more overt, task-relevant private speech when problem solving (Winsler, Diaz, Mc Carthy, Atencio & Adams Chabay, 1999). This seems to support the view of Piaget, that private speech is egocentric. Rubin also suggests that this serves an important coping function in non-social children as it allows them to practice their social skills on themselves. Rubins work affirms, once again, that private speech must serve multiple functions (Allyn & Bacon). There are clearly many different views regarding the private speech of children. Different views regarding it origin, its function and purpose, and its impact on the children¡¦s lives. There are still many others questions about the use of private speech by children that could be answered. What effect does temperament and personality have on a child¡¦s private speech? How does private speech develop in children with learning disabilities? Do language customs affect the child¡¦s development of private speech? One thing that we can be sure of, is that private speech plays a major role in a child¡¦s development. Bibliography: Allyn, & Bacon. (date unknown). Inside psych ¡V childrens private speech.

How To Substitute Gluten Free Flour in Recipes?

How To Substitute Gluten Free Flour in Recipes? By The Living Healthy Mom Tweet Sharebar I LOVE gluten free flour …………. and I have NO “issues” with gluten. Rather I eat gluten free flour because I love the taste and the health benefits. Even f you have NO “issues” with gluten, the wonderful taste and the health benefits of gluten free flour are STAGGERING!Gluten free flour can be used to make delicious baked treats that are really healthy for you and offer a variety of tastes that are different from our “wheat based society.” Once you start baking with gluten free flour, you will wonder why you have not always used these amazing flours before! If you want to know HOW to bake with gluten free flour, READ ON!What Is a “Primary” Gluten Free Flour? It is important to understand that when baking with gluten free flour, it is advised to combine multiple flours (primary and secondary flours) to achieve the desired taste. The reason is that combining different types of gluten free flour, helps the taste, and helps to bind your treat together. (Gluten holds things together and rich protein in flours or eggs can help substitute for this. However, if you used only one protein rich flour, it would not taste good; as it would be TOO heavy in protein. )The combination of flours is the magic trick!So what I mean by a “primary” gluten free flour is that you can use this type of flour with the highest percentage in your recipe. For example, if you need 2 cups of flour, you can use 1 1/2 cups of a “primary” gluten free flour, and then mix in other flour as a “secondary” as a general guideline. My Primary Gluten Free Flour Choices:#1. Coconut Flour Coconut flour is DELICIOUS. The biggest question I am asked…..does it taste like coconuts? No, it doesn’t make your food taste like coconuts, but it gives food a moisture that is wonderful and very healthy too! There are some recipes and cookbooks out there that enable you to cook ONLY using coconut flour; which would technically make it a primary flour, but I add it to the secondary list for most cases. Bruce Fife wrote the book Cooking with Coconut Flour where you can use coconut flour as a primary flour…..with A LOT of eggs. I like his recipes if you double all of them to get 12 servings, and would recommend his book. I typically use coconut flour as a “secondary gluten free flour” when I am creating recipes. Tip: When baking with this gluten free flour, your recipe will need more moisture and more eggs to bind than many of the other flours. “A little coconut flour goes a long way.”This fabulous gluten free flour can be used on it’s own as long as you have enough protein to bind it together. (Typically requires a lot of eggs) You can also use this flour as the primary flour and augment it with other gluten free flours. It is DELICIOUS and so healthy for you.#2. Blanched Almond flour Almond flour is my favorite primary gluten free flour…….. HANDS DOWN! This uniqu e gluten free flour does not require the addition of other flours, as long as you are using a recipe that was designed for it. In saying that, almond flour also works really well in combining with other gluten free flours. My favorite brand of blanched almond flour is from Honeyville, which I order online from Amazon. My favorite blanched almond flour cookbooks are from Elana Amsterdam. She is the guru of Almond flour!#3. Brown rice flour – This gluten free flour is a wonderful, healthy, primary flour and can be used as 75% of your flour source. Taken from the healthy “brown rice, this fiber rich flour is super healthy for kids and delicious!Don’t you agree that the Garbanzo Bean marketing department should change the name? Well, they have tried. This gluten free flour is also called Chick Pea flour or Gram flour. That is the BEST they could come up with?#4. Garbanzo bean flour – I know this gluten free flour doesn’t sound appetizing, but it is delicious, healthy and is a wonderful primary gluten free flour that you can use up to 75% in a recipe. And………….. NO, I know what you are thinking……… it doesn’t taste like beans! (I thought the same thing! )My Favorite “Secondary” Gluten Free Flours: A secondary gluten free flour, is one that you could combine with a primary flour to add nutrients, protein, taste for the health benefits and to help bind the baked goods together. For example, if you used 1 1/2 cups of one of the primary flours, then you could combine a variety of “secondary” gluten free flour to make up the remaining 1/2 cup of flour that was left.1. Quinoa Flour Quinoa is a complete protein and is filled with health benefits. This gluten free flour is a very versatile and easy to bake with. Quinoa flour adds taste, moisture, protein and binding action to your baked treats; and should be a staple for gluten free baking.2. Millet Flour A healthy delicious and healthy gluten free flour, Millet flour is delicious to combine with other secondary flours.3. Amaranth Flour This gluten free flour is the most difficult to bake with. It is considered to be a “complete protein” and is very valuable to use for that reason. It also adds a sweet taste that is lovely. Please beware though that too much of this gluten free flou r can make your baked goods not turn out at all. Tip: Do not use more than 1/4 of a cup (TOPS) of Amaranth flour in any recipe. Even 1-2 tablespoons enriches the health benefits of your treat.4. Almond Meal Please don’t confuse almond meal with blanched almond flour. They are NOT the same. Almond meal grinds up the entire almond, where blanched almond flour removes the skin. The skin is loaded with health benefits, so almond meal is very good to use in cooking and baking; but only in very small amounts. Almond meal doesn’t act like a “flour” would, and is best to add no more than 1/2 cup if you are replacing flour. There are so many different types of gluten free flou r including: buckwheat, corn flour, potato flour, soya flour, tapioca flour, white rice flour, teff flour and sorghum flour to name a few. I have not used every gluten free flour there is in baking; but when I do test each and every one of them….. I will let you know what I find. Please share your experiences in the comments below.

Why are TARS and CASE named as such?

The Interstellar wiki explains TARS is a former marine robot with angular limbs and a sarcastic attitude.and that CASE is one of three former marine surplus robots, alongside TARS and KIPP, CASE first appeared within an alcove onboard the Endurance mission. Is there a significance to the names of the robots, or why were they named as such? Are they unique serial numbers (similar to R2-D2 and C-3PO)? The fact that the names are written in all caps on their bodies lends weight to the idea that they may be acronyms. I'm hoping for an in-universe answer if possible. It wouldn't make much sense for the military to name them after people who assisted in the creation of the film.interstellarshare improve this questionedited Nov 14 '14 at 11:45asked Nov 12 '14 at 17:26phantom42105k 38 455 668Minor note: didn't TARS first appear at the gate of the secret NASA base, decking Coop while Murph waited in the truck? – Brian Warshaw Nov 12 '14 at 17:323And written in Braille below, of course.

While Christopher Nolan was making Interstellar, he decided to show a model of the movie’s bots to his kids. They were extremely disappointed. “That’s not a robot,” they told him. “That’s a box.” Well, it’s true: Nolan’s intelligent machines, which he dreamed up with production designer Nathan Crowley, look for all the universe like slabs of metal. The main bot, named TARS (which doesn’t stand for anything), might as well be a distant cousin of 2001‘s monolith. Then again, nothing in Nolan’s world (s) is what it seems. “When I let my kids play with the model, open it up, see different combinations,” he says, “they started getting really excited.” Let’s peek inside the box.share improve this answeredited Feb 13 '15 at 14:02Valorum340k 87 25072737answered Jan 6 '15 at 2:06Organic Marble19k 3 66 102They may not stand for anything, but do they have any in-universe significance? – phantom42 Jan 6 '15 at 3:20add a commentprotected by Community ♦ Feb 13 '15 at 13:58Thank you for your interest in this question.

Police believe 16-year-old may have stayed in house after mother, brother were killed

0 Comments Police believe 16-year-old may have stayed in house after mother, brother were killed Henderson Police are still looking for Adrian Navarro-Canales, wanted in connection to deaths Henderson Police Department Henderson Police released these photos of Adrian Navarro-Canales. On Monday, a warrant was issued for the 16-year-old, charging him as an adult with two counts of murder in the stabbing death of his mother, Elvira Canales-Gomez, 40, and his 9-year-old brother, Cesar Navarro. By Brian Nordli Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2013 | 10:39 a.m. Mom, son found Sun coverage Arrest warrant issued for teen in deaths of mother, brother Relatives reeling after Henderson mom, son found dead; neighborhood in shock Mother, boy found dead in Henderson apartment; another son missing More breaking news Henderson Police discovered their bodies on Friday inside the bathroom — a 9-year-old boy in the bathtub and his mother on the floor next to him. The mother, Elvira Canales-Gomez, 40, had a large butcher’s knife in her chest and multiple stab wounds, and the boy, Cesar Navarro, had a stab wound in his chest. The officers smelled the odor of human decomposition, which filled the Summit at Sunridge apartment in the 11000 block of South Eastern Avenue, indicating they had been dead for a while. Missing from the apartment was Canales-Gomez’s 16-year-old son Adrian Navarro-Canales, who is wanted in connection with their deaths. These were the details outlined in a Henderson Police arrest warrant for Navarro-Canales, who has been missing since Friday and is wanted on two charges of murder with use of a deadly weapon. The warrant details the events leading up to the discovery of the bodies: Earlier in the week, on Monday, the family and Canales-Gomez’s boyfriend held a small celebration for Navarro-Canales’ birthday. Relatives described the boy as anti-social, often secluding himself inside the apartment to play video games. He wanted to return to Mexico and had stopped attending Coronado High School in November 2012. The next day, a neighbor saw Canales-Gomez picking Cesar up at Lamping Elementary School and spoke briefly on the phone with her boyfriend on the way home. That was the last time she was heard from. The mother’s boyfriend tried reaching her at the family’s apartment multiple times. On Tuesday, the lights were off, so he assumed they were sleeping. The next day he noticed a kitchen light was on through a window, but no one answered the door. Henderson Police conducted their first welfare check Wednesday, but no one answered the door. On Wednesday, Navarro-Canales texted his father, Enrique Velasquez, who lived in Northern California, telling him everything was fine at the home. He said his mother and brother were sleeping so they couldn’t answer the phone. Henderson Police conducted a second welfare check on Friday, at the behest of a family relative who said Canales-Gomez hadn’t shown up for work and Cesar wasn’t going school. Detectives believe Canales-Gomez and Cesar had been dead since Tuesday and that Navarro-Canales had lived in the home after they died. Police have been searching for Navarro-Canales since Friday. Police urge anyone with information regarding the incident or the whereabouts of Navarro-Canales to call Henderson Police at 267-4750 or, to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 385-5555 or online at crimestoppersofnv.com.0 Comments Join the Discussion: Check this out for a full explanation of our conversion to the Live Fyre commenting system and instructions on how to sign up for an account.

Amazon introduces voice cloud service Alexa

The Amazon Echo voice service called Alexa Amazon introduces voice cloud service Alexa CDN Staff@compdealernews Published: June 26th, 2015If Amazon is successful with its Alexa Voice Cloud Service, one day someone can utter the words “water my lawn” and an Internet-connected sprinkler system will do just that. Alexa follows Apple’s Siri and Microsoft’s Cortana in the marketplace, but this voice system is controlled by Amazon Echo, a new category of device designed around your voice. Echo is a hands-free and always on information, music, news, weather, and other things service. Alexa is built in the cloud and leverages Amazon Web Services platform to continue to learn and add functionality over time, the company said. Amazon added that hardware developers can use the Alexa Voice Service to integrate Alexa into Internet-connected devices with only a few lines of code. The company claims no experience with natural language understanding or speech recognition is required. Alexa is also free. Amazon is hoping developers will be able to create Alexa-powered solutions such as: A Wi-Fi alarm clock that lets a customer talk to Alexa—“What’s the weather today?” or “What’s on my calendar today?”A car that enables a driver to press the Alexa button on the steering wheel and request anything from Alexa, such as “Read my book” or “Remind me to pick up flowers after work.”A movie ticket machine that lets a moviegoer say “Buy six tickets for the next showing of Jurassic World.”A countertop weather station that enables customers to get more information by asking “What will the weather be next weekend?” or “What was the rainfall in June last year?”A TV that makes finding tonight’s game simple—just pick up the remote and say “Turn on the baseball game.”A home sound system that lets customers turn on music just by saying “Play my barbeque playlist on the back deck.”Related Stories Amazon Web Services unveils first MSP program inductees Amazon Web Services this week announced the first six AWS Partner Network (APN) consulting partners that will be inducted into its AWS MSP program.

Recently, Alexa has added Pandora, Audible, traffic, sports scores and schedules, control of connected devices like We Mo and Philips Hue. Some device vendors have already signed up for Alexa. For example, Wink, connects people and the products they need in the home using Alexa to enable customers to control and monitor the connected home using just their voice. Nathan Smith, CTO of Wink, said Amazon is helping the company create an intuitive way to control the smart home. By integrating Alexa into the Wink platform, customers will be able to manage their home by turning on lights, locking doors, controlling temperature, and opening blinds—just by asking Alexa. Scout Alarm, a new breed of home security that customers can install and manage themselves is another vendor partner for Alexa. Alexa with Scout supports voice control capabilities and it opens up new ways for customers to interact with the security system. Customers can arm their system or remotely check in by telling Alexa what they want, said Dave Shapiro, CTO at Scout. Alexa Voice Service will be made available as a developer preview starting next month. Amazon also introduced the Alexa Skills Kit, a collection of self-service APIs and tools for developers to create new voice-driven skills and capabilities.

Ohio legalized medical marijuana: Here's what you need to know

OPEN: Ohio Politics Ohio legalized medical marijuana: Here's what you need to know Updated April 6, 2017 at 9:43 PM; Posted June 9, 2016 at 11:45 AMOhio legalized medical marijuana but it could be two years before the program is fully operational. ( Teresa Crawford, Associated Press )Comment By Jackie Borchardt, cleveland.comjborchardt@cleveland.com COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio legalized medical marijuana, but that doesn't mean anyone can light up a joint whenever they please -- far from it. Legislation signed Wednesday by Gov. John Kasich creates a regulated program controlled by three government agencies that won't be set up for at least a year. And the law explicitly prohibits smoking marijuana or growing it at home. The law leaves much of the details of the program up to the Ohio Department of Commerce, State Pharmacy Board, State Medical Board and a yet to be appointed bipartisan advisory committee. But here are answers to some of readers' most frequently asked questions about the law. What are the qualifying medical conditions? Patients qualify if they have the following conditions: HIV/AIDS; Alzheimer's disease; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS); cancer; chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE); Crohn's disease; epilepsy or another seizure disorder; fibromyalgia; glaucoma; hepatitis C; inflammatory bowel disease; multiple sclerosis; pain that is chronic and severe, or intractable; Parkinson's disease; post traumatic stress disorder; sickle cell anemia; spinal cord disease or injury; Tourette's syndrome; traumatic brain injury; and ulcerative colitis. Individuals can petition the state medical board to add conditions. Doctors must register with the state, which will require completing some type of continuing education about cannabis, before being able to recommend marijuana to patients with whom they have bona fide relationships. The patient registration process would be determined by the Ohio State Pharmacy Board. When can I use marijuana? If you would qualify under the law's conditions (see below) and have written permission from your doctor, then you could use marijuana without going to jail in early September. The exact date will be 90 days from when the secretary of state officially files the law. The law doesn't say where patients would get their marijuana before dispensaries are set up, but it's assumed they would get it from another state or Ohio's existing black market. Dispensaries won't be set up for a least a year, maybe longer. The law requires the whole program to be operational within two years. Can registered patients get fired for using medical marijuana? Yes. Despite changing state laws, marijuana remains illegal federally. Courts have consistently upheld employers' right to fire employees for marijuana use, even when it didn't happen on the job. Ohio is an at-will state where employees can be fired for any reason. Additionally, the law specifies that employees can be fired for marijuana use even if it was recommended to them by a doctor if the employer has a drug-free workplace or zero tolerance policy in place. Employees fired for medical marijuana use are not eligible for unemployment compensation. I want to own a marijuana business. How can I get a business license? Details about license requirements and applications are not yet known. The Department of Commerce, in conjunction with a 14-member bipartisan advisory committee, has until May 2017 to figure that out for cultivators. Lawmakers expect seeds to be in the ground next summer. The rules and regulations for dispensaries, testing labs and marijuana processors, which will make marijuana-infused products and package everything for sale, must be determined by September 2017. Will there be a dispensary in my neighborhood? Maybe. The law requires 500 feet between any marijuana business and a school, church, public library or public playground. Local governments can restrict where cultivators, processors and dispensaries can be located or ban them altogether. The state pharmacy board will decide how many dispensary licenses to issue, and the law requires it take into account the state's population, patient demand and ensuring dispensaries are not just concentrated in certain parts of the state. Why no smoking or home grow? Patients and/or their caregivers can grow their own marijuana in 15 of the 25 medical marijuana states. Four of the 25 states prohibit smoking marijuana, and an additional 17 states allow use of marijuana products that are low in THC, the compound that generates a "high. "Lawmakers said smoking marijuana or growing it outside of a strictly regulated program were off the table from the beginning. Both aspects ventured into the realm of recreational use, lawmakers said, and would have been deal breakers for legislators whose votes were crucial to the bill's passage. Also, lawmakers said the idea that people would "smoke their medicine" went against common sense and prevalent public health messages against cigarette smoking. The law does allow patients to inhale vaporized marijuana. To read text of the new law, click here. Follow @JMBorchardt Follow me on Facebook. View Comments

Placing Concrete in Hot or Cold Weather

Placing Concrete in Hot or Cold Weather Share: People who pour concrete for a living can work almost year round in most parts of the country. This is because either through trial and error or spending time reading a lot of technical journals they have figured out how to successfully place concrete even though it is sweltering hot or freezing cold. For almost everyone else I would recommend that you limit your concrete activities to more moderate weather. If it’s so hot out that all you can think about is going for a swim I would suggest you get a cold beverage, turn up the AC and forget the concrete. If it’s so cold that you need gloves, consider spending time in front of the fireplace with a good book. If this doesn’t quite give you specific enough guidelines, maybe we should define what moderate temperatures are? This is open for debate and involves other factors but in general if the air temperature is between 50° F and 90° F you should be safe. You can safely place concrete outside of these limits but you need to do a few things to make sure your job won’t turn into a nightmare. The air temperature by itself isn’t the determining factor on whether you should pour concrete. The temperature of the air, the humidity level, and the wind speed, the temperatures of the surface where you are placing the concrete, the water and the dry concrete in the bag all play a huge part and must be taken into consideration. The air, wind and humidity are pretty much beyond your control but some of the others you can influence. It is important to remember that the temperature of the mixed material is as important as the air temperature. Cold Weather If the air temperature is below 32° F I would really advise that you wait until warmer weather or call a pro. Unless you want to erect a tent with a space heater or steal your spouse’s electric blanket off the bed, this will only lead to trouble. If it is so cold out that the ground is frozen don’t pour concrete under any circumstances. The biggest issue when pouring concrete when the air temperature is just above freezing is the night time temperatures that will follow. Concrete sets much slower in cold weather. It is critical (I’m going to repeat that- critical) that the concrete sets before it is exposed to freezing temperatures. The problem is that when water freezes it takes up more space in the ice phase than it does in the liquid phase. When all of the water that you used for mixing freezes, it expands, causing your concrete to crack. The key is doing what you can to make sure the concrete sets fast enough to prevent this. The first thing that pros do in the winter is use hot water. If you use hot water and keep the dry product in a heated area of your house or garage until you are ready to use it this will greatly accelerate the set of the concrete. You can buy products designed to set quick such as Sakrete Fast Setting Concrete. It will not set as fast as the literature says it will if the air temp is anywhere near freezing but it will set much faster than normal concrete. You can also buy additives to accelerate the set. The only concern here is the type of accelerator. If it contains calcium chloride and your concrete will contain rebar or metal wire mesh, the chlorides will attack it and produce rust. This will ultimately crack your concrete. When concrete sets it gives off heat. Not like frying an egg but there is a slightly exothermic reaction (a big word for a reaction that gives off heat-use it to impress your friends). You can use this to your advantage by covering the concrete (after it has stiffened) with a blanket. They sell blankets for this purpose so your kids won’t have to sleep in the cold. You could also put up a tent or lean to and put a space heater inside. Hot Weather If the air temperature is above 90° F you need to be careful. Of course what you are doing with the concrete also makes a difference. We will address that later. In addition if the wind is blowing hard and the humidity is low, even 90° might be a problem. The issue with hot weather isn’t really the heat. Neither the cement nor the aggregates have a problem with temperature. This isn’t like a chocolate bar on the front seat of the car in July. The issue is that the top layer of concrete will dry much faster than the bottom layer. As concrete dries it shrinks. This means that the top will be shrinking while the bottom is stationary. At this point you get your own north/south civil war breaking out inside the slab. There will be casualties. To avoid this aggression you need to keep the top and the bottom curing at the same rate. There are several things you can do before and during mixing and several things you can do after placement. Before mixing store the material in a cool place or at least avoid laying it in the hot direct sun. Then use the coldest water that you find. Ready mixed concrete companies actual use ice to replace all or most of the water to slow down the set. After you have placed the concrete and it has taken a set, you need to keep the slab moist. This can be done in several ways. You can spray the slab periodically with a hose, turn on a sprinkler with a fine mist, cover the slab with wet burlap or with chemicals designed to keep water from evaporating so quickly. In very high temperatures, very low humidity or high winds you may to do this for several days. Almost everything in this discussion on hot weather is directed at someone pouring a slab. If you are mixing up concrete and placing it in a hole to support a fence post of deck, hot weather normally isn’t a problem. If the concrete is setting too fast to place in the hole, then using cold mixing water or ice will help. Comments: Lee-Technical Service06.06.2017Siaosi, the best conditions are when the air, mix and substrate temperatures are between 40°F and 90°F with no rain in the forecast within 24 hours of application. Protect from freezing for at least 48 hours.siaosi04.14.2017I did not know that cold temperatures actually could affect the cement when being laid. I think it would be nice to make sure that everything is done correctly. I want to know that I have the right weather. Lee-Technical Service03.03.2017Meg, for best results all materials should be stored between 40°F and 80°F 24 hours prior to installation. Air, mix and substrate temperatures should be between 40°F and 90°F with no rain in the forecast within 24 hours of application. Colder temperatures or higher humidity conditions will retard set times. Protect from freezing for 48 hours. These are the parameters for using our concrete materials. Meg02.27.2017We won a federal grant for concrete walkway construction throughout our community. It should have funded in July, but did not fund until November. I have put off the installation of the walkways until the weather reaches a consistently warmer temperature 45 degrees average for a period of 4 or more days. The government is saying that because we have had a milder winter that we should have already started work. I am concerned about durability and strength if we go too soon. Opinions, please? Thanks. Lee-Technical Service02.06.2017Sandra, sorry but I am not able to answer that question. You will need to have either the contractor or an inspector to evaluate the condition of the concrete.sandra02.04.2017people poured our driveway dec. 2016 when it was below freezing and snowing they covered it with blankets but it is already cracking and on top of concrete is white discolor on top do you think it will be ok Lee-Technical Service01.12.2017R Taylor, if the material freezes then it can crack. The cold weather slows the set time and this will cause issues if your low temperatures are below 40 degrees. If it is too hot then the concrete can set too fast and cause shrinkage cracking. You want to install concrete between a high of 90 degrees and a low of 40 degrees. R Taylor01.11.2017is cement more likely to crack if poured in cold weather or warm weather? Lee-Technical Service11.29.2016Maureen, I would not start it before the weather is within the optimal temperature range. Especially if you plan on closing it in. You want to make sure that it is done right the first time so that none of your finish materials end up getting damaged. Maureen11.28.2016What about patching think cracks on a screened in back porch? The man who was supposed to do this, check moisture, etc. did not show up. This screened in porch will be turned into a 4 season room but will not get done until about a week before Christmas. Should I wait until warmer weather to do anything? I dread having all this done once enclosed but may have to. I wanted the repairs down early on so that the flooring could be installed before Christmas. Local installer said he would. Now? I am in Chesterton, IN zip 46304- cold and raining today. Guess I don't get to use this for the great grandkids to play in this Christmas. Thank you. Load More View All Leave a Comment: Display Name Add Your Comments Submit Comment Back to Blog

.

by Gerald Warner, Softball Pitching Instructor Softball pitchers…even those with years of experience… often develop (or were even taught)incorrect pitching mechanics. Some can become successful. However, the majority don’t reach their maximum potential, and a large percentage end up with short-term, or even career-ending, pitching injuries. OUR TOP 10 INJURY-CAUSING PITCHING PROBLEMSIf you are doing any of these things, find a way to stop it1) OVERUSE – A significant percentage of softball pitching injuries are shoulder and rotator cuff problems caused by too much pitching, often by using incorrect pitching mechanics. Although there is no single recommendation on the number of pitches, innings pitched, or rest between pitching appearances that can apply to all ages and sizes of pitchers, some restraint is advised. A pitcher who repeats the same pitch over and over, such as the rollover drop ball, faces a potential overuse injury.2) INSUFFICIENT STRETCHING AND WARM-UP – Many athletes tend to rush through pre-practice or pre-game preparation. Most serious pitchers need a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes of JOGGING, STRETCHING, SOFT OVERHAND THROWING, and FULL DISTANCE OVERHAND THROWING before they throw their first underhand pitch. Never stretch a tight muscle. A 3 to 5-minute jog will loosen muscles before you start stretch. Stretch for 5 to 10 minutes. Pay attention to hamstrings, core muscles with twist cross-body stretches, shoulders, arm rotation, and wrist movement.3) BENDING AT THE WAIST – We see far too many young pitchers…and even some experienced ones…who bend at the waist during the final portion of their pitching motion. Bending is okay during the drive off the pitching rubber. However, at the release of the pitch, bending forward causes a slower pitch and often can lead to back injuries. In still-frame video analysis, we often see some pitchers bending forward (a right-hander bends toward 3 rd base…a lefty toward 1 st)as they are in the “open” position halfway through their arm rotation. This can be even more injury producing because it puts a severe 2-way torque on the pitcher’s back.4) “SNAPPING” THE RELEASE – Often very young pitchers get into the habit of stopping their arm motion as soon as the ball leaves their hand. Although a snap release can be used on occasion on some advanced pitches, it should never be a common practice on your most-used pitch…either a fastball or drop ball. Continued snapping without a natural follow-through can lead to elbow and forearm injuries. A good follow-through on most pitches will allow the arm to relax and bend immediately after the release, then follow up naturally to at least waist high…and some pitchers’ follow through can continue until the hand approaches the shoulder. 5) “CHICKEN-WINGING” – We often refer to a pitcher’s elbow that flies out during the pitching motion as a “chicken wing”. Since this is not a natural part of a pitch release or follow-through, it can often lead to elbow and shoulder problems…as well as cause a problem with pitch control. Pitchers who use the rollover/snapover method for their drop ball will often “chicken wing” at the release, and sometimes involve a twisting of the arm all the way up to the shoulder. To impart a tight spin (and avoid injury) with the rollover drop, use only the forearm and wrist to snap the ball. If necessary, lock your elbow against your side at the release to avoid using the upper arm and shoulder.6) PRACTICING BREAKING PITCHES BEFORE YOU ARE READY – Pre-teen pitchers are often encouraged to start work on drop balls, curve balls, etc. even though their bone structure and dexterity aren’t ready yet. Breaking pitches typically require a hard, tight wrist snap to impart a fast spin on the ball. Most 10, 11, and 12-year old pitchers…and even many who are older…are not yet sufficiently physically developed to work on pitches that require a hard snap of the wrist. Don’t be tempted to do too much too soon! Most young pitchers who brag about their curve, screw, or even rise ball don’t throw those pitches effectively.7) PITCHING FROM THE “OPEN” POSITION – Some pitchers are taught to “keep your body open (sideways to the catcher) when you release the ball”. Unfortunately, many who are taught with this method develop a problem of bending at the waist (right-hander bends toward 3 rdbase) during the final downswing and through the release of the pitch. Needless to say, this additional torque can put severe pressure on the pitcher’s back and often results in lower back injuries.8) IMPROPER LANDING OF THE STRIDE FOOT – Since the majority of female fastpitch pitchers use the “leap and drag” style of pitching, it is important that the stride leg drives out fast and far. Ideally, the knee will be slightly bent at landing and the stride foot will land at an angle of between 20 and 30 degrees. If the pitcher’s foot is pointing more directly toward the catcher, it can cause the bent knee to “buckle” and lead to injury. If the foot lands at more of an angle…more than 45 degrees, it is too far sideways, and the “blocking” or pushback against the landing foot can cause an ankle, calf, and/or knee problem. 9) “JERKING” THE SHOULDERS OR HEAD BACK AT THE RELEASE OF THE PITCH – Although rare, some pitchers can develop a body “jerk” as they whip their arm down through the release point. Although this “arm whip” is essential for maximizing the speed of the pitch, it should not involve any snapping of the upper back, neck, or head. Some pitchers who have developed this “jerking” motion suffered back or neck injuries. Those who haven’t corrected the problem are facing a similar risk.10) DOING THINGS THE WAY A MAN PITCHER DOES IT – We have mentioned several times on our www.pitchsoftball.com website that a majority of fastpitch softball pitching instructors are men. Unfortunately, there is a tendency by many male instructors to tell girl softball pitchers to “do it the way I do it” regardless of the girl’s age, size, physical and emotional development, athletic ability, etc. The way a 220-lb, 6-foot tall man throws a pitch doesn’t always apply to a 10-year old girl, and isn’t even necessarily right for a 120-lb. teenage girl pitcher. There are alternate ways of throwing a change-up, drop ball, curve ball, etc. that need to be adjusted to the needs and comfort-level of the pitcher. Pitching should be a rewarding, and as much as possible, an injury-free experience. If you are doing anything that has caused or could eventually lead to injuries, NOW is the time to correct it. Don’t let a bad habit or improper mechanics hurt your game.

Fenton Glassware Collecting

Antiques Fenton Glassware Collecting Fancy Frills in Art Glass By Pamela Wiggins Updated 04/13/17Share Pin Email Fenton Glassware at Gannon's Antiques & Art in Fort Myers, Florida. Gannon's Antiques & Art This firm got its start as a glass decorating company in 1905 painting on plain blanks made by other glassware manufacturers. As demand for the company's wares increased, they began to produce their own glassware lines in 1907 after moving from Ohio to Williamstown, West Virgina. During their early years, Fenton found inspiration from the designs of glass masters Tiffany and Steuben. As a result, they introduced iridescent glass collectors now know as carnival glass. Fenton went on to produce more than 130 patterns of this popular glassware, according to information formerly published in Schroeder's Antiques Price Guide (now out of print), and some of them sell for very good sums today. Over the years they also manufactured custard glass, chocolate glass, opalescent glass, and stretch glass among others. And, to keep the factory running during the lean Depression and World War II years, they made utilitarian items such as mixing bowls, juice reamers, and other glass kitchen items. In the late '40s when many glass companies were going out of business, Fenton stayed on course as a result of dedicated family members piloting the company. By 1986, a third generation of Fentons took charge of the business, and continued to make glassware collected and admired around the world. Hobnails, Ruffles and Crests The popularity of milk glass in the early 1950s led the company to develop a line of white Hobnail glass. It was so well-liked during this period that they counted on it as a sure seller for many years to come. Now, while these milk glass pieces do have their ardent fans, they are usually fairly reasonably priced in the secondary collectibles marketplace. Other Hobnail patterns, such as opalescent hobnail on cranberry, blue or green glass, can be worth quite a bit more depending on the item. It's hard to generalize on value with these pieces though, so each one much be researched individually to ferret out rarities. The unique ruffled edges found on many Fenton wares also worked perfectly for the creation of the company's "crest" lines. Opaque glass, such as custard glass or milk glass, was often used to form the base of these items while a clear or colored border around the ruffled edge added a touch of interest. Pieces with a clear ruffle were named "Silver Crest," while those with a bright green border were called "Emerald Crest." Other colors applied in the same fashion are popular with collectors including the "Snow Crest" and "Ebony Crest" pieces with reversed effect along the edges in opaque white or black. Some Ebony Crest pieces can be quite valuable with even small vases selling for prices in the hundreds when they can be found. Evaluating Fenton's Marks to Value Glass Many of the Fenton's items made since 1973 are already very collectible. These items are marked with an oval shaped Fenton raised logo molded directly into the glass. Pieces produced before 1973 were marked with various stick-on paper labels which usually wore away with cleaning and handling. While many pieces have an inherent Fenton look about them, others may not be as obvious and further research must be done to verify the maker. In 2004 Fenton issued guides they referred to as their "history books" which were available through their numerous glass dealers and directly from the company. Older glass made by this company can be researched through these guides, which are now out of print but can still be located with a little effort. A number of other out of print books on Fenton are also available through Amazon.com and Half.com, including several excellent reference guides authored by respected glass collectors and experts Margaret and Kenn Whitmyer. Once an older unsigned piece is identified as Fenton, then research can be done to assess the popularity of that particular item in terms of color, design, and decoration. The next step in evaluating a piece requires researching recent selling prices. Some early cranberry and carnival glass pieces can sell in the thousands. Don't let the high values of certain rarities scare you away though. You'll find far more Fenton pieces worth much less than $100 each. Many pieces sell for as little as $10-20, so each one must be researched individually to determine value. A beautiful collection of Fenton can still be amassed very reasonably for folks sticking to a budget. The End of an Era After flirting with financial difficulties for a number of years, this family-owned company officially closed its doors in 2011. As the largest producer of handmade colored glass in the country, the Fenton factory was the hub of tourism in its area of West Virginia by offering facility tours, a yearly tent sale, and a museum filled with beautiful glass to visitors who will surely miss this popular destination.

When it comes to health and body systems, some get our attention more often than others. If they create more immediate concerns – stomach, skin, lungs – they get all the “health headlines” in daily life. But how often do we think about the liver? We might be selling the liver short. The liver’s “to-do” list is huge. It helps metabolize carbs and maintain healthy glucose levels, stores and synthesizes vitamins, and regulates hormones, including estrogen. But, arguably one of the liver’s most important tasks is creating a substance called bile. Bile gets a bad rap because it just sounds bad. In the past, people would say someone was “filled with bile” if they had a bad temper. But has a big job. This greenish fluid starts breaking down the fats we eat so the body can use the fat-soluble nutrients hidden within them. It also shuttles toxins through the digestive system, acting as a detoxifying agent. In the intestines, bile hands over custody of toxins to fiber which helps move them through the digestive system to be excreted later. (That’s yet another reason why fiber intake is so important. )That’s why finding ingredients that support bile production – like those you’ll find in Complete Liver Cleanse is a big deal for the health of your liver and your entire body. †Unique ingredients – including fiber! This simple, two-week liver cleanse program removes toxins, and rejuvenates your liver with a set of unique ingredients. †Milk thistle – with an amazing compound called silymarin – actually supports liver health at a cellular level. † You’ve probably noticed this all-important herb included in other cleanses, for a good reason. It not only helps your liver detoxify and protects it from free radical damage, but supports the gall bladder, the intestines, and the circulatory system as well. †In Complete Liver Cleanse, this botanical extract is combined with other herbal ingredients that work together to stimulate the liver and increase bile production, including boldo, burdock, dandelion and artichoke.†Keeping healthy bile flow is part of the body’s natural “moving service” for toxins.†Other important members of the Complete Liver Cleanse team include: Calcium D-glucarate helps keep the compounds from reverting back to their original toxic state as they move through the gall bladder. †Phytosterols which help block cholesterol absorption in the intestines. †A dynamic fiber duo oat beta-glucan and glucomannan bind with the toxic excretions to prevent reabsorption back into the body. † This unique fiber blend moves the toxins through the intestines to be eliminated. †This is an extremely convenient cleanse—even the fiber is tucked inside of the vegetarian capsule!Give your liver a reward. The liver does a lot for us, but doesn’t get much reward in return. But adding Complete Liver Cleanse to your regimen can give your liver the love it so richly deserves.

Kinematics with Graphs Since you are not allowed to use calculators, SAT II Physics places a heavy emphasis on qualitative problems. A common way of testing kinematics qualitatively is to present you with a graph plotting position vs. time, velocity vs. time, or acceleration vs. time and to ask you questions about the motion of the object represented by the graph. Because SAT II Physics is entirely made up of multiple-choice questions, you won’t need to know how to draw graphs; you’ll just have to interpret the data presented in them. Knowing how to read such graphs quickly and accurately will not only help you solve problems of this sort, it will also help you visualize the often-abstract realm of kinematic equations. In the examples that follow, we will examine the movement of an ant running back and forth along a line. Position vs. Time Graphs Position vs. time graphs give you an easy and obvious way of determining an object’s displacement at any given time, and a subtler way of determining that object’s velocity at any given time. Let’s put these concepts into practice by looking at the following graph charting the movements of our friendly ant. Any point on this graph gives us the position of the ant at a particular moment in time. For instance, the point at (2,–2) tells us that, two seconds after it started moving, the ant was two centimeters to the left of its starting position, and the point at (3,1) tells us that, three seconds after it started moving, the ant is one centimeter to the right of its starting position. Let’s read what the graph can tell us about the ant’s movements. For the first two seconds, the ant is moving to the left. Then, in the next second, it reverses its direction and moves quickly to y = 1. The ant then stays still at y = 1 for three seconds before it turns left again and moves back to where it started. Note how concisely the graph displays all this information. Calculating Velocity We know the ant’s displacement, and we know how long it takes to move from place to place. Armed with this information, we should also be able to determine the ant’s velocity, since velocity measures the rate of change of displacement over time. If displacement is given here by the vector y , then the velocity of the ant is If you recall, the slope of a graph is a measure of rise over run; that is, the amount of change in the y direction divided by the amount of change in the x direction. In our graph, is the change in the y direction and is the change in the x direction, so v is a measure of the slope of the graph. For any position vs. time graph, the velocity at time t is equal to the slope of the line at t. In a graph made up of straight lines, like the one above, we can easily calculate the slope at each point on the graph, and hence know the instantaneous velocity at any given time. We can tell that the ant has a velocity of zero from t = 3 to t = 6 , because the slope of the line at these points is zero. We can also tell that the ant is cruising along at the fastest speed between t = 2 and t = 3 , because the position vs. time graph is steepest between these points. Calculating the ant’s average velocity during this time interval is a simple matter of dividing rise by run, as we’ve learned in math class. Average Velocity How about the average velocity between t = 0 and t = 3 ? It’s actually easier to sort this out with a graph in front of us, because it’s easy to see the displacement at t = 0 and t = 3 , and so that we don’t confuse displacement and distance. Average Speed Although the total displacement in the first three seconds is one centimeter to the right, the total distance traveled is two centimeters to the left, and then three centimeters to the right, for a grand total of five centimeters. Thus, the average speed is not the same as the average velocity of the ant. Once we’ve calculated the total distance traveled by the ant, though, calculating its average speed is not difficult: Curved Position vs. Time Graphs This is all well and good, but how do you calculate the velocity of a curved position vs. time graph? Well, the bad news is that you’d need calculus. The good news is that SAT II Physics doesn’t expect you to use calculus, so if you are given a curved position vs. time graph, you will only be asked qualitative questions and won’t be expected to make any calculations. A few points on the graph will probably be labeled, and you will have to identify which point has the greatest or least velocity. Remember, the point with the greatest slope has the greatest velocity, and the point with the least slope has the least velocity. The turning points of the graph, the tops of the “hills” and the bottoms of the “valleys” where the slope is zero, have zero velocity. In this graph, for example, the velocity is zero at points A and C , greatest at point D, and smallest at point B. The velocity at point B is smallest because the slope at that point is negative. Because velocity is a vector quantity, the velocity at B would be a large negative number. However, the speed at B is greater even than the speed at D : speed is a scalar quantity, and so it is always positive. The slope at B is even steeper than at D , so the speed is greatest at B. Velocity vs. Time Graphs Velocity vs. time graphs are the most eloquent kind of graph we’ll be looking at here. They tell us very directly what the velocity of an object is at any given time, and they provide subtle means for determining both the position and acceleration of the same object over time. The “object” whose velocity is graphed below is our ever-industrious ant, a little later in the day. We can learn two things about the ant’s velocity by a quick glance at the graph. First, we can tell exactly how fast it is going at any given time. For instance, we can see that, two seconds after it started to move, the ant is moving at 2 cm/s. Second, we can tell in which direction the ant is moving. From t = 0 to t = 4, the velocity is positive, meaning that the ant is moving to the right. From t = 4 to t = 7, the velocity is negative, meaning that the ant is moving to the left. Calculating Acceleration We can calculate acceleration on a velocity vs. time graph in the same way that we calculate velocity on a position vs. time graph. Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity vector,, which expresses itself as the slope of the velocity vs. time graph. For a velocity vs. time graph, the acceleration at time t is equal to the slope of the line at t. What is the acceleration of our ant at t = 2.5 and t = 4? Looking quickly at the graph, we see that the slope of the line at t = 2.5 is zero and hence the acceleration is likewise zero. The slope of the graph between t = 3 and t = 5 is constant, so we can calculate the acceleration at t = 4 by calculating the average acceleration between t = 3 and t = 5: The minus sign tells us that acceleration is in the leftward direction, since we’ve defined the y -coordinates in such a way that right is positive and left is negative. At t = 3 , the ant is moving to the right at 2 cm/s, so a leftward acceleration means that the ant begins to slow down. Looking at the graph, we can see that the ant comes to a stop at t = 4 , and then begins accelerating to the right. Calculating Displacement Velocity vs. time graphs can also tell us about an object’s displacement. Because velocity is a measure of displacement over time, we can infer that: Graphically, this means that the displacement in a given time interval is equal to the area under the graph during that same time interval. If the graph is above the t -axis, then the positive displacement is the area between the graph and the t -axis. If the graph is below the t -axis, then the displacement is negative, and is the area between the graph and the t -axis. Let’s look at two examples to make this rule clearer. First, what is the ant’s displacement between t = 2 and t = 3? Because the velocity is constant during this time interval, the area between the graph and the t -axis is a rectangle of width 1 and height 2. The displacement between t = 2 and t = 3 is the area of this rectangle, which is 1 cm/s s = 2 cm to the right. Next, consider the ant’s displacement between t = 3 and t = 5. This portion of the graph gives us two triangles, one above the t -axis and one below the t -axis. Both triangles have an area of 1 / 2 (1 s ) (2 cm/s ) = 1 cm. However, the first triangle is above the t -axis, meaning that displacement is positive, and hence to the right, while the second triangle is below the t -axis, meaning that displacement is negative, and hence to the left. The total displacement between t = 3 and t = 5 is: In other words, at t = 5 , the ant is in the same place as it was at t = 3. Curved Velocity vs. Time Graphs As with position vs. time graphs, velocity vs. time graphs may also be curved. Remember that regions with a steep slope indicate rapid acceleration or deceleration, regions with a gentle slope indicate small acceleration or deceleration, and the turning points have zero acceleration. Acceleration vs. Time Graphs After looking at position vs. time graphs and velocity vs. time graphs, acceleration vs. time graphs should not be threatening. Let’s look at the acceleration of our ant at another point in its dizzy day. Acceleration vs. time graphs give us information about acceleration and about velocity. SAT II Physics generally sticks to problems that involve a constant acceleration. In this graph, the ant is accelerating at 1 m/s 2 from t = 2 to t = 5 and is not accelerating between t = 6 and t = 7; that is, between t = 6 and t = 7 the ant’s velocity is constant. Calculating Change in Velocity Acceleration vs. time graphs tell us about an object’s velocity in the same way that velocity vs. time graphs tell us about an object’s displacement. The change in velocity in a given time interval is equal to the area under the graph during that same time interval. Be careful: the area between the graph and the t -axis gives the change in velocity, not the final velocity or average velocity over a given time period. What is the ant’s change in velocity between t = 2 and t = 5? Because the acceleration is constant during this time interval, the area between the graph and the t -axis is a rectangle of height 1 and length 3. The area of the shaded region, and consequently the change in velocity during this time interval, is 1 cm/s 2 · 3 s = 3 cm/s to the right. This doesn’t mean that the velocity at t = 5 is 3 cm/s; it simply means that the velocity is 3 cm/s greater than it was at t = 2. Since we have not been given the velocity at t = 2 , we can’t immediately say what the velocity is at t = 5. Summary of Rules for Reading Graphs You may have trouble recalling when to look for the slope and when to look for the area under the graph. Here are a couple handy rules of thumb: The slope on a given graph is equivalent to the quantity we get by dividing the y -axis by the x -axis. For instance, the y -axis of a position vs. time graph gives us displacement, and the x -axis gives us time. Displacement divided by time gives us velocity, which is what the slope of a position vs. time graph represents. The area under a given graph is equivalent to the quantity we get by multiplying the x -axis and the y -axis. For instance, the y -axis of an acceleration vs. time graph gives us acceleration, and the x -axis gives us time. Acceleration multiplied by time gives us the change in velocity, which is what the area between the graph and the x -axis represents. We can summarize what we know about graphs in a table:

Treasure in the San Luis Valley: The golden horde, part II

Treasure in the San Luis Valley: The golden horde, part IINovember 21, 1997By Christopher O’Brien The French expedition of 1790 Journeying down from the northern Rockies, exploratory French forays into the rarefied air of the Sangre de Cristos are said to have produced gold. A little-known story researched by Crestone author Jack Harlan concerns an ill-fated French-Canadian expedition into the southern Colorado Rockies, and is centered around a very identifiable northern San Luis Valley landmark.“While leaving the San Luis Valley by way of Poncha Pass, Round Mountain is skirted on the left. Here on Round Mountain an undetermined amount of gold nuggets [is] supposedly buried. There are several versions of the story. The most popular one is about a French Canadian trapper whose name has become lost through the years. . . .”A party of Canadians were trapping on the Snake River when they were discovered by American trappers, who attacked. In their hasty retreat, the Frenchmen lost their furs and traps to the Americans. Traveling south into western Colorado, one of the four found a gold nugget in the headwaters of the Gunnison River. Here they spent the next month successfully panning the gravel bars. Ute Indians discovered the Frenchmen and attacked them. In the running battle which lasted several days, three Frenchmen were killed. The fourth managed to escape over Cochetopa Pass (just west of Saguache). Sensing that his pursuers were closing in, he buried the gold on Round Mountain with the hopes of later returning for it. The Indians caught and killed the lone French-Canadian near the summit of Poncha Pass.”Starvation and bitter conditions killed off three of the men, who may have been eaten by the surviving two members. The treasure was never found, but the story endures, hundreds of years later. I travel on U. S. 285, which winds within feet of this little mountain, and on every trip north out of the San Luis Valley, I wonder ,,,One of Colorado’s most fabulous treasure legends is centered around a sizeable French expedition that journeyed to our area in the late 1700s. Setting out from a small French outpost near present-day Leavenworth, Kan., 300 men and 450 horses began the long trek toward the Rockies. The guides, officers, miners and laborers, following the course of the Platte River, explored and prospected several areas before reaching southern Colorado, and it is believed by some that the huge expedition may have superficially prospected unsuccessfully at Cripple Creek and other mining regions that later produced fabulous gold fields. Working their way south, they finally ended up near present-day Summitville, Colo. They made camp several miles east of Wolf Creek Pass and began prospecting the many creeks that flowed down the San Juan Mountains, just west of the San Luis Valley, hoping to find the elusive malleable metal. They allegedly struck the motherlode and buried the gold on what is now called Treasure Mountain. Most sources estimated the value at some $5 million, although one source estimated the cache as worth $33 million dollars. According to later reports, the gold was cached in three places, only known to the top officers of the expedition. A key chart was made of the entire area and kept by the officer in command. At first, upon their arrival at the Summitville area, the Native Indians seemed friendly. However, for some reason not presently known, the Indians became angry with the French. Perhaps the knowledge that the French were leaving with gold from their lands prompted them to attack the expedition as the French set out. In any event, an attack was mounted, and during the pitched battle, the gold was reburied and the French made new maps detailing where the buried gold was hidden. Very few French survived the battle. Estimates range from 17 to 35, but it is known the some of them did survive the Indian onslaught. To make matters worse, they were attacked again out on the Front Range, and only five men survived to continue the journey back to the French outpost in Kansas. Starvation and bitter conditions killed off three of the men, who may have been eaten by the surviving two members. The two men, more dead than alive, stumbled into the outpost and one of them died. The sole survivor, the expedition’s historian named “Le Blanc,” eventually traveled back to France with two copies of the treasure map. One was given to the French government, the other, naturally, he kept. Several maps have appeared claiming to lead to the re-buried treasure. There is much confusion at this part of the story. One version has the historian’s family mounting an expedition and returning to find the buried treasure. Another version has the French government mounting an expedition led by a relative of the historian. In any event, the second expedition, which numbered around 50 men, headed west to recover the gold. Stopping in Taos, N. M., they obtained the services of a guide who led them to the Summitville area. Allegedly, they searched the entire area for three years with no apparent luck. Then, the guide returned to Taos alone, claiming the entire expedition had again been wiped out by the Indians. The locals were suspicious of him because he was the sole survivor. He was tried for murder, but was acquitted. It is said that his trial was the last Mexican trial held in United States territory. Some theorists claim the whole story was contrived by the French who secretly found the gold and returned to France with it. The guide was paid to be a “patsy” and promised a fortune to return to Taos with the untrue story of a massacre. This scenario seems unlikely, although later, French equipment was found among the Indians. Another version has the guide spending years trying in vain to locate the lost treasure of Treasure Mountain. Several maps have appeared claiming to lead to the re-buried treasure. A man named William Yule claimed he had a copy of the original and searched the entire western side of the valley – all the way north to Saguache, with no apparent success. Another colorful prospector named Asa Poor obtained the map from Yule, and with two partners, was able to locate several landmarks leading to the caches, but was not able to finally locate the hidden French gold. One of Poor’s partners, named Montroy, retained possession of the map, but it disappeared several years later. Eureka? After much digging, and a bit of luck, I’ve located and talked with several knowledgeable “treasure hunters.” I began hearing stories of “treasure maps.” Then, in 1993, I was introduced to a amiable man I’ll call Tomas Ortiz (not his real name). Tomas’ wife is the daughter of the patriarch of the treasure-hunting family. At one point in our initial conversation, he casually told me that his brother-in-law has an authentic “treasure map written in French,” and his family are “direct descendents of Le Blanc.” He told me, “for three generations” they have been quietly searching for the fabled lost French gold. Their claim is backed up with, what appears to be, a genuine map, drawn by the harried second expedition before they unsuccessfully tried to escape with their lives. Could this actually be the real Le Blanc map? Their map and story are impressive. After searching for decades, family members have slowly and painstakingly located seven out of eight landmarks and clues carved in rock that are mentioned in the map. The most important eighth and final clue has eluded their efforts for years. Then, in 1993, their lucked turned. Or did it? As Ortiz placed the last candle at the far end of the tunnel, a “large rattlesnake” lunged out of the gloom and narrowly missed striking him. Thirty-year-old Tomas happened to be hunting elk, in the mountains southeast of Del Norte, Colo., on an overcast late fall morning in 1993. The clouds loomed threatening, and a cold hard rain began to spit. The pale pre-dawn gloom cast faint detail to the surrounding vegetation, and Ortiz looked around for shelter from the rain. He spotted a small 3-foot opening in the ground, hidden by some underbrush, and after removing some loose rocks, he squeezed through the opening and peered into the darkness. He clicked on his flashlight and was surprised to find he had entered a 5-foot-high, 4-foot-wide tunnel, obviously man-made. Ortiz cautiously explored down the gentle-sloping narrow passageway, and after wriggling about 20 feet into the hillside, his way was blocked by an apparent underground landslide. Shining his light around the dim narrow passageway, he spied a carving on the rock wall next to the cave-in. Quite aware of his in-law’s long quest, he was thrilled by what he saw. It was the long-lost eighth clue that according to the treasure map indicated the hidden location of the fabled French treasure. Completely forgetting the wily elk herd he had been stalking, he excitedly rushed back to town to tell the family of his fortuitous find. The following day, Tomas led an expedition back to the tunnel. Members of the party, consisting of 20 family members, began eagerly excavating the cave-in, and after several grueling hours of hard work, they extended the tunnel an additional 12 feet into the mountainside. Thirty-two feet in, they encountered a large boulder that appeared to have been purposely rolled into place to seal the rest of the passageway. By this time, the sun had set and the elated group gathered at the entrance and took a break as twilight approached from the east. Undaunted by the approaching night, Tomas lined the length of the passageway with a dozen equally spaced unlit candles. The ensuing events allegedly occurred “in a matter of minutes.”As Ortiz placed the last candle at the far end of the tunnel, a “large rattlesnake” lunged out of the gloom and narrowly missed striking him. He frantically scrambled breathlessly back out to the entrance followed by a boiling “swarm of bats” that began pouring out of the hillside. Uncharacteristically, the small mammals began squeaking and diving aggressively at the surprised party. What they claim happened seconds later quickly erased the elation and excitement of the expedition. According to Tomas, as he knelt down to light the first candle at the entrance to the tunnel, the “candle at the far end” of the passageway inexplicably flared on by itself! The stunned group knowing no one was in the tunnel stared at each other in horror. “At that instant,” out of the gloom, a “huge owl” dive-bombed the shocked party within inches of their heads. That was the last straw. As if chased by the devil himself, the terrified group grabbed their children, raced down the hillside, piled into their cars and, as Tomas put it, they “got the hell outta there!”Further research has uncovered information that suggests the Ute Indians may have acquired some of the French gold during the running battle, and hid it down near the mouth of the Rio Grande Canyon. As of this writing, the family has obtained the Colorado state treasure rights to legally enter the cave and claim whatever treasure is located there. I have been invited along to document the event. Dead Man’s Cave Another fascinating account is one of the few that have actually produced verified gold to bolster the lucky finder’s claims. However, this is one of those that got away. It’s probably still out there. The Fairplay Flume, in 1880, and The Denver Post have both published articles about this story told by three prospectors – E. J. Oliver, S. J. Harkman and H. A. Melton. In 1880, the three men had been prospecting 2 miles north of what become known as Dead Man Camp, (about 8 miles south of where I live) The sky threatened, and before long the three men found themselves caught in a furious blizzard. Knowing travel is difficult, at best, in the rugged Sangres under ideal weather conditions, they found shelter underneath a convenient ledge near the mouth of a canyon. Looking across the canyon, one of the men noticed what appeared to be a small opening in the shear rock wall. They made their way to the opening and made several crude torches. The opening was very narrow and less than 4-feet high and extended into the cliff about 10 feet, before it opened up into a large 20-foot-long vault. Shining their torches around, Oliver found the first of five skeletons scattered around the dusty, dark cavern. After exploring the cavern, they found several tight passageways extending into the gloom of the mountain. They chose one to explore. It led into the mountain and opened up into a larger vault-like chamber. Near the far end, Melton noticed what appeared to be shelves carved into the side of the western wall. He lit the area and saw some peculiar-looking stones stacked on the shelf. He picked one up; surprised at its heavy weight, and brought it back to his partners to look at. Imagine their delight when the “stones” turned out to be crude bars of gold! In their excitement, thinking the opening would be easy to mark and find again, the men gathered up only five of the bars, and headed over the pass to Silver Cliff, in the Wet Mountain Valley. The bars proved to be worth $900 apiece, and the men became instant celebrities. Although asked by many, the men steadfastly refused to divulge the actual location and secretly made plans to return to Dead Man’s Cave. Search these vast areas hard and deep enough and you may be surprised at what you’ll find, but I suggest you tread lightly . . .“The men slipped off in the spring. But they never found the Dead Man Cave. Thought had thought it would be easy, but on their return they found so many places that looked like the area in which the caves were found. In fact, practically the entire area seemed strange to them. They went back frequently. Many others went back frequently. Nobody found anything.” (The Fairplay Flume)Colorado has an interesting series of “treasure rights,” which can be obtained for the right to look, find and keep treasure found in specific deeded locations. I couldn’t help but wonder, who owned the treasure rights for the area around the Dead Man’s Treasure? A simple listing of the San Luis Valley and Huerfano area’s lost mines and treasures is, to say the least, impressive. The following is a sampling of south-central Colorado and north-central New Mexico legends and accounts from the seminal works, “Lost Mines and Buried Treasures of the West,” by Thomas Probert (the University of California Press, 1977); “Treasure of the Sangre De Cristos,” by Arthur Campa, (The University of Oklahoma Press, 1963); the voluminous “Directory of Buried or Sunken Treasures and Lost Mines of the United States” (True Treasure Publications, 1971); the compelling “Treasure Tales of the Rockies,” by Thomas Penfield (Sage Books, 1961); the northern San Luis Valley’s “Post Marks and Places,” by Jack Harlan (Golden Bell Press); “Colorado’s Lost Mines and Buried Treasure,” by Caroline Bancroft (Bancroft Booklets, 1961), and various other sources.

What is the difference between latitude, longitude and altitude?

Longitude Latitude Geographic Coordinate System Altitude Geolocation Geography What is the difference between latitude, longitude and altitude?26 Answers Xavier Daull, studied at National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts , France Answered Dec 20, 2015Originally Answered: What is the difference between latitude and longitude? Longitude and latitude are like X/Y coordinates (absciss, ordinate) but on the Earth sphere. So any place on Earth can be pinpointed using its latitude (North/South value) and longitude (West/East value) coordinates. A point's coordinate is measured in degrees because it is the angle betwheen the agreed reference (Equator for latitude / Greenwich for longitude) and this point, viewed from the center of Earth.http://modernsurvivalblog.com/wp... Latitude: it is the North/South value of a point on Earth. Any point on the Equator's circle is of latitude 0°, the top north is 90° North, the top south is 90° South. Circles parallels to the Equator are of the same latitude. Longitude: it is the West/East value of a point on Earth. Longitudes are lines going from south pole to north pole. Greenwich is on longitude 0° and any point on the line going from North pole to the South pole via Greenwich is on longitude 0°. Latitudes and longitudes are perpandicular each other on the famous Mercator projection (an earth projection is a way of drawing a sphere on a flat map): Eiffel tour latitude is 48° North (from Equator) and its longitude is 02° East (from Greenwich). To be more accurate we usually use seconds (') and minutes ('') so Eiffel tour is: 48° 51' 30" North, 02° 17' 40" East.79.3k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

Ask New Question Shivani Chaturvedi, Research Fellow at Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research Updated Dec 12, 2015 · Author has 61 answers and 132.8k answer views Originally Answered: What is the difference between latitude and longitude? Latitudes also known as parallels of latitude and meridians also known as meridians of longitude are the imaginary lines that run on the earth's surface which are used to find the exact location of a place on the globe (or map) and it's time zone. Parallels of latitude: These lines circle the earth from north pole and south pole. Equator is the longest latitude which divides the earth between northern hemisphere and southern hemispher. These are measured in degrees. Equator is latitude of 0°. The latitudes in the north area numbered with °N with it. The latitudes in the south are numbered with °S with it. Latitudes are from 0° to 90° N and 0° to 90°S. Latitudes are not of the same length. Other important latitudes are Tropic of cancer at 23.5°N, Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5°S,Article circle at 66.5°N, Antarctic circle 66.5°S, North pole 90°N, South pole at 90°S. Meridians of longitude: These lines are drawn joining north pole and south pole. Unlike latitudes, longitudes are of same length. These are measured in °W or°E. Prime meridian is the most important longitude at 0°. This longitude divides the earth in eastern hemisphere and western hemisphere. The lines lying on the east of prime meridian are named as °E and those to the west of prime meridian are measured as °W. There are 360 longitudes. But 180°E and 180°W are not the same lines. Longitudes along with helping in finding location also helps to know the time zone. For each meridian you travel, the time differs by 4 minutes. So, once you know the latitude and longitude of a place you can easily locate it on globe or map!30.3k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private. Is this answer still relevant and up to date? Neeraj Patralekh, Another Engineer, Quora lover Updated Mar 19, 2018Latitude and Longitude is nothing but a coordinate system. Let's discuss one by one. What is coordinate system. Location of an object can't be decided unless we take any reference point. Suppose two person stand on a ground we can't say what is their position if we don't measure distance from any other point. Basically there are two type of coordinate system first one 2D like on a piece of paper we draw some point. Here any point is defined as position from X-axis and Y-axis. And other one is 3D like a point inside a room But what if we want to get location of any object on Earth's surface. We can't use 2D or 3D Co-ordinate system because earth is neither a flat nor in a cubical shape. Earth is a spherical in shape, so in order to get a position on earth we have find a different co-ordinate system. In this geographical co-ordinate system X-axis will replace Latitude and Y-axis will replace Longitude. Now from above this image we can define Latitude are those imaginary line which are parallel to Equatorial and Longitude are those imaginary line which are perpendicular to Latitude. There is another significance of these line Latitude explain the temperature range on Earth and Longitude explain Time zone. Now finally your third question what is altitude. Altitude is height or distance of an object from sea level.1.2k Views · View Upvoters Shailesh Latkar, Geography optional in CSEAnswered Feb 8, 2017 · Author has 105 answers and 89.9k answer views In lay man terms : Latitudes are the horizontal lines which demarcates earth's climatic variations for eg. 0° to 30°N S latitude roughly its equator the temperate the torrid then frigid zones .

Original Question: What is the difference between latitude and longitude? There have been some good, and very detailed, answers already given, but it all comes down to the fact that latitude is the measurement of how for north or south of the Equator a place is, and longitude is how far east or west of the Greenwich Meridian (or Prime Meridian) a place is. The imaginary lines of latitude run round the Earth horizontally and parallel to the Equator, whilst the imaginary lines of longitude run vertically from pole to pole. This combination enables any point on the Earth to be precisely located. A good description of the difference and how geographic coordinates are measured and used is to be found here - Where Am I?

The following picture shows latitudes and longitudes on the earth’s surface a little better. ( www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/images/globe6.jpg)The differences you can see in the picture. Longitude circles follow the earth’s circumference from North to South and they are all the same size as the earth’s circumference. They are all centered on the center of the earth and they converge towards the poles. Their planes are all parallel to the earth’s rotation axis and contain the rotation axis. Latitude circles are drawn in an East-West direction and they are all parallel to the equator, which is a circle along the circumference of the earth with the earth’s center as its center. The plane of the equator is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the earth and so are the planes of all the latitude circles. The equator is the largest latitude circle and all the other latitude circles get smaller towards the poles. because their centers are on the rotation axis and not at the center of the earth. The units are in angular units, normally degrees, at the center of the earth. The angles for latitude refer to the plane of the equator, North or South, while the angles for longitude refer to the plane of the zero longitude, which is very close to the Greenwich longitude. Longitudes are also referred to as Meridians and latitudes as parallels.5k Views · View Upvoters Deepak Kumar, works at Maruti Suzuki India Limited Answered Mar 10, 2018Originally Answered: What is the difference between longitude, latitude and altitude?

Exactly the same as is shown by the two sides of a right angled triangle that form the right angle. Both latitude and longitude are imaginary lines drawn around the earth based on an arbitrary system where zero line of longitude passes through Greenwich, England, and runs north to south (or vice versa), and zero line of latitude passes around the center of the earth (so is the longest line of latitude) running from east to west (or vice versa) and is called the equator. Subsequent lines of longitude are labelled in degrees west or east from the line through Greenwich, based on an imaginary protractor set horizontally east to west through the center of the earth. Subsequent lines of latitude are labelled in degrees from the equator based on an imaginary protractor set through the center of the earth between north and south poles. Lines of latitude and longitude intersect at 90 degrees because that is the angle at which east-west lines intersect with north-south lines.231 Views Prabh Rangi, Independent Dharmic Peace Researcher (2018-present)Answered Jan 23, 2018Originally Answered: What is the difference between latitude and longitude?latitude is east-west longitude is north-south Equator is centre - and divides world into Southern and Northern Hemispheres.

How to buy an engagement ring

Life and style How to buy an engagement ring Buying an engagement ring is a scary business. In the second of our guides, Leo Hickman offers the inside knowledge you need Wed 13 Feb 2002 11.28 EST11.28 EST159The basics If you are planning to join the 75% of British men who buy their "special lady" a diamond engagement ring, you will want to pay close attention to the following advice. This is not something you want to get wrong. Not only are you about to part with a substantial amount of money (all women know the engagement-ring mantra about the fiancé waving goodbye to at least a month's salary), but you are also about to purchase an object that will be a permanent symbol of the most important relationship of your life. There are universally agreed rules on buying diamonds. Follow them and you should avoid the pitfalls. First, a geology lesson: diamonds are 99.95% pure crystallised carbon and can be extremely old - one to three billion years old, in fact. They are the hardest naturally occurring substance known and are formed beneath the Earth's surface when crystals of diamond occur in volcano feed-pipes. When volcanoes erode down, they release diamonds from their feed-pipes into layers of gravel which are later mined. However, due to the relative rarity of this natural process, diamond mines are found in just a handful of sites around the world. In rough form, diamonds are shipped to the world's cutting centres to be shaped and polished before being set as jewellery. It is the hardness, brilliance and sparkle that emerges during this process that transforms them into a girl's best friend. Now for a quick history lesson, as you may be curious to know where the fashion began. Legend dictates that in 1477, a lovestruck Austrian, Archduke Maximilian, came up with a gem of an idea: why not give Mary of Burgundy a diamond ring to celebrate their imminent engagement? He placed it on the third finger of her left hand - the finger believed by ancient Egyptians to have a vein that led straight to the heart. It is not known whether the marriage was a success, but you don't need to worry about that. The Four Cs So now that you know why you are buying an engagement ring made with a diamond, you can familiarise yourself with the "Four Cs" - cut, colour, clarity and carat. All must be considered equally when comparing diamonds, but more than any other factor, according to Tiffany and Co, it is how the diamond is cut that will determine its defining characteristic. Cut: As the only characteristic of a diamond not influenced by nature, the cut is open to mistakes and bad practices. Cut a diamond incorrectly and the defining sparkle will be compromised. It is how the 57 or 58 facets (the tiny planes cut on the diamond's surface) are angled and sized that dictate how light reflects and exits the diamond, an effect known as its "fire". Make the cuts too deep or too shallow and the diamond will be less brilliant. The cut will also determine the shape of the diamond. The most common shape is the round cut, but others include the emerald, the pear, the marquise, the princess, the oval and the heart shape. Ask to see all of these shapes, if only in a picture, to make sure you have covered all your options. Colour: The most valuable and rare colour is white, that is to say, colourless. Jewellers grade absolutely colourless diamonds with a "D". The scale moves up to "Z" (don't ask what happened to A, B and C) and, between these two extremes, diamonds will display subtle coloured tones. Diamonds with a very strong and distinct colour are extremely rare and are called fancies. Clarity: Many people get unnecessarily hung up over the clarity of a diamond. Look into most diamonds with a jeweller's loupe (magnifying eyeglass) and you will see small "inclusions", also known as "nature's fingerprints". They look like small clouds or feathers but are usually invisible to the naked eye. Inclusions can affect the diamond's fire, but they also make your diamond unique and shouldn't always be seen as a fault. Why worry too much about something you can't see, anyway? As long as the stone is graded SI1 (Slightly Included 1) or better (best and most expensive is IF, or Internally Flawless; worst is I3, or Imperfect 3), you should be all right. Carat: The weight, and thus the size, of a diamond is measured by carat. A carat is equal to 0.2gm, or 200mgm. A carat is divided into 100 smaller units called points. For example, three-quarters of a carat is 75 points. The average size of most engagement-ring diamonds is somewhere between one carat and half a carat. Do not confuse carats with karats, the unit of purity for gold. Any reputable jeweller will know about the four Cs and be prepared to talk you through them all without prompt when displaying diamonds. But if you don't wish to place your trust entirely in a jeweller, you should request a "cert stone" - a diamond that has been assessed, graded and coded with a laser by an independent gemmological laboratory. The type of certificate is important, as not all are universally recognised. The most internationally recognised are issued by GIA (the Gemmological Institute of America). Other popular certificates include HRD, IGL, EGL and AGS (see Diamond Certificate Issuers, right). The fee for a grading certificate varies depending upon the carat of your diamond, but for exact prices, contact a specific laboratory. And do not be afraid of organising your own certificate rather than accepting the jeweller's recommendation. Another good reason for getting cert stones is to guard against buying "diamonds" made with substitutes. Zircon, white sapphire, topaz and quartz are natural minerals that can be nearly colourless and used as natural diamond substitutes. Synthetic substitutes include cubic zirconia and moissanite. All these are sold as legitimately cheap alternatives, but be aware that they are sometimes, albeit rarely, passed off as real diamonds. Diamonds can also be artificially treated, most commonly by being fracture filled, irradiated or laser treated. All of this is legal, as long as it is disclosed to the buyer, but if you want a "real" and untreated diamond, guard yourself against terms such as "clarity enhanced". How much should I pay? This is the fifth C - cost. Obviously, how much you spend is a personal matter, but you will no doubt hear that one to two months' salary is the norm. There is one point to say about this: it seems to stem from De Beers' publicity machine. Spend whatever you like and can realistically afford. Remember that De Beers has a near monopoly on the diamond industry and has an interest in what you spend. And scotch any thoughts that a diamond ring is a sound investment. A retailer can mark up a new diamond ring by up to 100%, and it could lose half its value the moment that you leave the shop. Even with a diamond bought at the virtually wholesale rates of London's jewellery centre, Hatton Garden, it could take more than five years to regain its price. Give her what she wants It is all well and good knowing your IFs from your I3s, but if you don't buy her the right type of engagement ring, all is lost. Perhaps the most important piece of advice is never to surprise her with a diamond ring, and not to buy something according to your own taste. One way to find out what she likes is to take a cue from the style of jewellery that she already owns. Does she prefer modern or traditional? Does she favour white gold, yellow gold, two-tone (white and yellow gold) or platinum (currently the most popular metal for engagement rings)? Also, how does she react to other women's engagement rings? Does she ever express an interest in a particular style when flicking through fashion magazines? The chances are, however, after a quick consultation with her girlfriends and female relatives - if you can trust them with your secret - that you will glean a fairly accurate picture of her likes and dislikes. She will probably prefer a classic diamond solitaire - which account for 76% of all sales of engagement rings - but there are many ways to present a quality stone on a ring. Would she like a Tiffany-style solitaire in which prongs hold the diamond high? Or perhaps a basket setting, or some other low-head style? Without doubt, though, you should involve her in the decision. It may run counter to your romantic instincts, but she will thank you.1: Buying from a jeweller There are alternatives to buying an engagement ring from a jeweller. You could, perhaps, consider buying an antique ring from a shop or auction, but if you want a new ring it is best to visit as many jewellers as possible to gauge what is available on the market. It is worth remembering that major high-street jewellers are inevitably pricier than London's jewellery centre at Hatton Garden, so if you can visit there - many different shops, all in one street - so much the better. Consider, too, that jewellers are busiest in the run-up to Christmas and before Valentine's Day. August is traditionally their slowest month, so it may be the best time to ask for a better deal. Make sure you run this checklist through your head every time you visit a shop:· Does the store have a long-standing and solid local reputation?· Do the staff evidently possess a sound gemmological knowledge? Watch out for gratuitous and unexplained jargon.· Is the shop willing to sell you diamonds with a well-known gemmological certificate? If so, make sure you keep the original rather than a copy.· Is the shop a member of a trade association? If so, which one?· Will the shop present a detailed receipt with your purchase? This is key to any possible insurance claim or future repair.· Does the shop appear to have a busy repairs service? (A good indication of customer trust. )· Exactly which warranties and guarantees does the shop offer? Read them closely.· Will the salesperson let you examine the diamond through a loupe and on a white background? If diamonds are viewed on a black background, the eye's perception of colour is hindered.2: On the web Buying diamond rings via the internet is not recommended because you should view the diamonds in person so that you can cover all of the above details. If you do choose to do so, only buy cert stones and pay special attention to the delivery terms and possible tax and duty charges if buying from a foreign-based site. But the internet does offer you a chance to do your homework. The following sites will all let you gauge what styles and prices are currently available.www.thediamondshop.co.ukwww.approveddiamonds.comwww.jewellerywebshop.co.ukwww.cooldiamonds.comwww.nydex.comwww.diasource.comwww.theofennell.comwww.mondera.comwww.jewellerywebshop.co.uk3: Only for the brave If you are really on the hunt for a good deal, then you could try some of the companies trying to break with the traditional supply chain of the diamond industry. One such company is the mining firm Rex Mining Diamond Corporation, which has a website intended to bypass the retail route and sell wholesale to the public. The address is www.rexgems.com Alternatively, try the Hatton Garden wholesalers who normally only sell direct to retailers. In most cases they will not have any recognisable street presence, just a bell to ring, but will sell loose diamonds up to 50% cheaper than available on the high street. They won't have time for people who aren't serious and probably won't be interested in delivering much of a sales spiel, but if you know exactly what you are after, give them a try. Contact the jewellery trade associations for names and numbers to try. What else do I need to know?

Unfortunately, the locations of some of the planet's key diamond mines happen to coincide with the locations of some of the world's bitterest conflicts, and those in control of the gems don't always invest their profits ethically. Sierra Leone is perhaps the most infamous hot spot at present, but the diamond trade has been linked by the UN to troubles in other African states including Rwanda, Angola, Liberia, the Central African Republic, Congo-Brazzaville, Uganda, Ghana, Namibia, Mali, Zambia, Burkina Faso, Guinea and the Ivory Coast. The UN has also criticised Switzerland, not a diamond-producing nation but a diamond free-trade area, for its role as a transit point for almost half the rough diamonds entering Britain. Antwerp, the "diamond capital of the world", is also criticised for "facilitating" the trade in so-called "blood diamonds". As consumers, we are helpless when it comes to establishing the true origin of a cut diamond. "After the diamond is cut," says Stephen Kennedy, the laboratory director at the Gemmological Association and Gem Testing Laboratory of Great Britain, "there is no way of knowing the origin of source. "Kennedy's only advice is to be suspicious of dealers who suggest otherwise. The UN's advice is to apply consumer power by asking about the source of origin. That way the message might finally get across to an industry badly in need of better self-regulation.· The next in the How to Buy series, on bicycles, will be published on February 27.

Answer by Oldog Confidence votes 6.8KVoltage measures the relative amount of energy that will be carried by the electrical charge in a circuit. It is expressed by the equation V = W/q where W is the energy in Joules and q is the charge in coulombs. In a 1.5 volt energy cell each coulomb of charge has 1.5 Joules of energy; in a 12 volt battery each coulomb of charge has 12 Joules of energy. Interestingly, voltage exists even when there is no current (the charge is not moving). A 1.5 v cell or 12 v battery has voltage even when it is sitting unused in its package. it is measured by connecting up a circuit. to get more information high schoolers, look in the CXC integrated science and turn to page 174 and read to get a proper understanding. i trust that this will help. reading is a good exercise to the brain.11 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Can Doctors Ever Give My Personal Medical Information to Others Without My Permission?

Can Doctors Ever Give My Personal Medical Information to Others Without My Permission? Download article as a PDFInformation in medical records is considered highly private and sensitive. Medical ethics rules, state laws, and the federal law known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), generally require doctors and their staff to keep patients' medical records confidential, unless the patient allows the doctor's office to disclose them. However, there are a variety of circumstances under which a doctor may share the information in medical records and personal medical information without the express permission of the patient. The following are some examples. The Doctor and/or Patient Needs Help If the patient has suffered some traumatic injury and cannot make medical decisions for him or herself, the doctor may discuss the patient's medical information with that patient's next of kin. The family member will often need this information so that she can make an informed decision about the next steps in medical treatment. If the patient has a living will or a healthcare power of attorney, the doctor may only discuss the patient's condition with the people named in those documents. Even in cases not involving traumatic injuries, under HIPAA, doctors can use and share patients' information and records with other health care providers as necessary for the patients' health and treatment. They may also discuss a patient's condition with family, relatives, and friends that the patient identifies as being involved in his or her healthcare, unless the patient objects. However, health care providers generally cannot share personal medical information and records with providers who are not involved in the patient’s care, unless all identifying information is removed. The Government Requires It The government and legal system usually respect patients' privacy and do not require doctors to disclose personal medical information. However, there are a few basic data points doctors must report. Doctors must file birth and death certificates. They must also report certain diseases they've treated over a certain time period so that the government can monitor the nation's health, although these disclosures do not usually include the patients' names. Doctors can also use your health information if necessary to protect public health, with one example being to report a flu outbreak. Doctors must also report suspected cases of child abuse, even though the child or her parent did not expressly authorize the disclosure. Similarly, if a doctor thinks her patient's mental state will cause him to be a danger to himself or others, she may report this in order to prevent harm to innocent parties. The Patient Makes His Health an Issue in Court If the patient brings a personal injury or workers' compensation claim, in which his health is a major issue in the case, the doctor may come to court and testify about the patient's injuries. However, if the patient's health is not necessary to the case's resolution, the doctor usually cannot be forced to testify. Medical privacy laws are varied and complex, particularly since they are addressed by both state and federal laws. If you are concerned that your personal medical information or records were improperly disclosed, it may be a good idea to contact a local Health Care Law attorney.

Vine Crops Search Clove Garden SAFARI Users General & History Using Cucumbers - flavor & Texture Varieties Health Considerations - and nutrition Links - to information on Squash General& History Cucumbers are probably native to northern India and were cultivated there and in Western Asia well over 3000 years ago. They were much favored by the Romans who spread them to other parts of Europe but they didn't get to England until about the 14th century and have to be grown in hothouses there. Cucumbers arrived in the Americas in the early 16th century. When they arrived in China and Japan is uncertain but is thought to be somewhat later than their arrival in Rome. The durable "green blimp" cucumbers we are accustomed to in the U. S. are a relatively recent development. In earlier times cucumbers were similar to the Persian and often thinner and longer. Besides the fruits, which botanists call a "modified berry", young shoots and leaves of the vine can be cooked and eaten as greens. Using Cucumbers There are two locations of flavor in cucumbers, the skin and the seed mass. Sample an over-ripe cucumber and you'll find the slightly yellow seed mass to have a stronger and quite distinctly cucumber flavor. Personally I don't mind that flavor, in moderation, but some people don't like it. You'll find many sources telling you English cucumbers have more flavor than the standard garden cucumber. Peel them both and you'll find the garden cuke more flavorful, it's just that the English doesn't have to be peeled and the thick bitter skin of the garden variety does. A better compromise is to use Persian or Japanese cucumbers which have thin non-bitter skin but enough seed mass to be more flavorful than the English. Unfortunately they don't keep and have to be used within a few of days. Kerbys are midway between in seediness, bitterness and toughness of skin and also are not waxed.for best flavor the seed mass should be included in recipes if possible. This is not possible in cases where the liquid will bleed out and dilute the recipe - then the seeds must be scooped out. When I do this I scrape the seeds into a bowl, add some salt and eat the seed mass as a snack while I cook. Recipes that call for seeding cukes usually presume the big "green blimps" but if you use Persians or Japanese cucumbers you probably won't have to seed them (or peel them) and flavor will be better. Varieties Cucumber (standard issue) - [Garden Cucumber, Market Cucumber, Green Blimp, Cucumis sativus ]These cucumbers are grown on fully functional vines with both male and female flowers so they have a large seed mass and plenty of seeds. Consequently they have more real cucumber flavor than seedless varieties. The skin is fairly tough and bitter so they are almost always peeled. Since they'll be peeled anyway growers seal them with a heavy coating of wax for longer storage - they'll last at least two weeks in the fridge. You do want to peel them because you don't know who sponsored the FDA studies certifying that wax as "edible". Size varies widely but the photo specimen is 9-1/4 inches long, 2-3/8 inches diameter and weighed 1-1/4 pounds. A more typical supermarket size would likely be 12 ounces to a pound but 2 pounders are often available at produce markets. The cut one was picked quite young so the seeds are immature and the seed mass is relatively small. When cucumbers become over-ripe they start to yellow, the seeds start to harden and the seed mass gets a stronger flavor. Armenian Cucumber Not a cucumber, it's a Melon . Beijing Cucumber - [Peking Cucumber]Though it looks sort of like an overgrown European cucumber with tiny white spine spots all over it, the Beijing is not "seedless". It can, in fact have a higher proportion of seed mass than a garden cucumber does, improving the flavor over seedless varieties. The skin is very thin and they are not waxed so you don't have to peel them, but it means they will spoil quickly so use them right away. The larger photo specimen was 19 inches long, 2 inches diameter and weighed 1 pound 6 ounces. So far these are available in only a few of the East / Southeast Asian markets in Los Angeles and prices are still a quite high - about US $1.19/# while Persians can be had here for 69 cents/# and gardens for less than 25 cents/# in season. Dosakai - [Lemon Cucumber, Cucumis. sativus ]These cucumbers get their name from being about the size and shape of a lemon, and bright yellow varieties are popular in India. The photo specimens are green with whole or broken stripes, the variety grown in Southern California. They are seldom available even in Indian markets and are sold at a high price so they're more a curiosity than practical ingredient right now. These cucumbers are sweeter than other varieties and do not need to be peeled. They go well in salads but in India they are most often cooked as an ingredient in recipes or made into pickles and chutneys. English Cucumber - [#4593, Hothouse Cucumber, Burpless Cucumber, Seedless Cucumber, European Cucumber, Cucumis sativus ]This is a variety of the European Cucumber selected for large size and straightness. This makes them more economical to shrink wrap in plastic to extend their shelf life. The photo specimen was fairly typical at 14-1/2 inches long, 1-3/4 inches diameter at the thickest point and weighed 14 ounces. See European Cucumber for all further details. European Cucumber - [English Cucumber, Hothouse Cucumber, Burpless Cucumber, Seedless Cucumber, Cucumis sativus ]These cucumbers are grown on vines that produce only female flowers. Since the flowers have no way to get knocked up they produce seedless fruit. Seeds are expensive because to produce them rare vines that have one or more male flowers must be found. Growing the vines take special care and even in California they have to be grown in hothouses or screened buildings. Care must be taken that bees and other pollinating insects cannot access the flowers. Should a bee that has visited sexually functional cucumber plants outside get in, seeds will will develop. These cucumbers are never waxed because with so thin a skin these cukes are normally not peeled. This makes them highly perishable due to dehydration and consequent rot. Southern California high volume produce markets sell them and call them "European Cucumber". Larger straighter varieties are shrink wrapped in plastic for longer shelf life so they can be shipped to distant markets and are called English Cucumbers. The larger of the photo specimens was 13 inches long (uncurled) 1-3/4 inches diameter at the thickest point and weighed 10 ounces. Typical shrink wrapped specimens are a little bigger but generally weigh less than a pound. Details and Cooking. Gherkin - True - [West Indian Gherkin, Bur Cucumber, Gooseberry Gourd (English); Concombre Antillais, Cornichon des Antilles, Ti-concombre, Macissis (French); Pepino das Antilhas, Cornichão das Antillas, Machiche, Maxixé (Portuguese); Cucumis anguria]True Gherkins are a small non- sativa cucumber native to southern Africa from Zaire south to Botswana and naturalized in Madagascar, but are best known for cultivation in the Caribbean region. The non-bitter less spiky varieties developed in the Caribbean have been reintroduced to Africa and are now cultivated there. The plant is also grown in Brazil and other parts of South America. In the Caribbean and South America fruit is picked quite young, as it gets bitter and more spiky when much over 1-1/2 inches long. It is generally pickled, but is also cooked as a vegetable, particularly in soups. In Africa, leaves of the bitter varieties are used as greens, and some of the non-bitter varieties are pickled. In the U. S. this plant is grown in gardens for private use in Florida and exists in isolated patches as weeds in several other states including a county each in California and Texas. It is not considered an aggressive weed and seeds are available from suppliers. Photo © source and licensing lost. Gherkin - Cucumber - [Cornichon (French), Cucumis sativa ]Any tiny immature cucumber used for pickling, generally less than three inches long. Since few people have ever seen a real gherkin this naming has been a successful subterfuge. India has become a major grower and pickler of these cucumbers taking advantage of low labor rates but this industry is ecologically questionable and there have been contract abuses as well. The photo specimens are from Bulgaria with the largest measuring 2-7/8 inch long, 7/8 inch diameter and weighing 5/8 ounce. Gherkin - Indian It's a gourd - see Tindora . Hothouse Cucumber - see European, Persian and Mediterranean Cucumbers. In most regions it means specifically the "English" packaging of the European cucumber. Japanese Cucumber - [ Cucumus sativus ]Not seedless but with much fewer seeds than garden cucumbers, Japanese cucumbers are sold unwaxed. They are generally dark green with bumpy skins and may have white spine dots. They are similar to the Persian cucumber but much larger and most varieties are sturdy enough to be grown in open fields in California.. There are a number of varieties ranging up to three feet long and 2 inches in diameter but the most popular are about 8 inches long and very straight. Millions are grown in Southern California but they are rarely seen in markets because our thousands of sushi bars (most of which, to the distress of the Japanese, are run by Koreans now) consume the crop. Photo "borrowed" from Kitazawa Seed Co., Oakland CA. Kirby Cucumber - [Liberty Cucumber, Pickle, Cucumus sativus ]You can't pickle a waxed cucumber so these are never waxed. That means you can eat them skins-on but also they will spoil quickly - even in the fridge they'll start getting slimy in just a few days. Peeled they have a little less flavor than the Green Blimps because the seed mass is so immature - they're often picked so young they look almost "seedless". These vary greatly in size depending on how young they're picked. The largest of the photo specimens was 5-1/4 inches long, 2 inches in diameter and weighed 7-3/8 ounces. The smallest was 3-1/2 inches long, 1-3/8 inch diameter at the big end and weighed 1-3/4 ounces. The skin is a bit tougher than that of the seedless varieties (though not bitter) so for some uses you may wish to peel them, or they may be partially peeled to decorative effect. They do well in salads and for cooking.as well as for pickling. Mediterranean Cucumber - [ Cucumis sativus ]A mostly seedless cucumber normally sold unwaxed, so you can eat them skin-on. It's much shorter and straighter than the European Cucumber but has a much better flavor because the seed mass is proportionally larger - despite having no seeds to speak of. They're generally about 6 inches long, 1-1/4 inches in diameter and weighed about 3 oz. Some of the hassles of growing European cucumbers apply as well to the Mediterranean - they need special handling of the vine and are generally grown in hothouses even in California. They're too small to be efficiently shrink wrapped so they're probably not available in many areas. Here in Southern California, produce markets have big heaps of them, often priced as low as 2012 US $0.69 or $0.79 per pound and they sell very well. Peking Cucumber - See Beijing Cucumber . Persian Cucumber - [ Cucumis sativus ]A mostly seedless cucumber normally sold unwaxed, so you can eat them skin-on. In Southern California produce markets Persians alternate with Mediterranean cucumbers, though I'm not sure they don't just change the sign now and then, or perhaps different growers use alternate names - they look and taste pretty much the same. The last batch I bought labeled "Persian" averaged 5-1/4 inches long, 1-1/8 inches in diameter and weighed about 2 oz. The hassles of growing Mediterranean cucumbers apply as well to the Persian - they need special handling of the vine and are most often grown in hothouses even in California. They're too small to be efficiently shrink wrapped so they're probably not available in all areas. Pickle - [ Cucumis sativus ] While many vegetables are pickled, the cucumber so dominates the form it's the one you can call just "pickle" without a modifier. The cucumbers used are Kirby type or similar in the U. S. but other varieties may be used elsewhere. "Quick pickles" are made with cucumbers, a vinegar brine and spices. Natural pickles are made by packing cucumbers with water and salt to naturally ferment and make their own sourness. They are then cleaned up and processed with spices and other ingredients depending on what style pickle you're making. Wild Cucumber - California - [Cucamonga Manroot, Marah macrocarpus: California Manroot, Marah fabaceus: other Marah species | also Echinocystis lobata ]These perennial cucumbers are quite different from Cucumis cucumbers in the way the fruit functions. Rather than fleshy, the fruit is spiny and dry. When ripe it dries completely and splits at the end to spill the large seeds out. The fruit is not eaten and some say the unripe seeds may be "mind altering" but I haven't tried to find out. California Manroot is found over most of the state while Cucamonga Manroot is found over most or Southern California down to Baja. All parts of the plant are bitter but the leaves have reportedly been used as a vegetable. The root tubers can weigh well over 200 pounds and were crushed by Native Americans for a toxin to stun fish with, so you probably don't want to try eating those. A soap-like substance has been extracted from the roots. I have lots of these on my property in La Crescenta, CA, but growth and fruiting are very dependent on early spring rainfall. The photo, showing foliage, an unripe fruit, a just opened fruit with seeds, and a drying empty pod was taken during 2008, a very good year for these. This year, 2014, there was very little foliage and no fruit. Wild Cucumber - Other "Wild Cucumber" is a name used commercially for the Armenian Cucumber, which is actually a melon. There is also an African Wild Cucumber ( Cucumis africanus) which looks a lot like the California item but they're not closely related and the African one is edible. Fruit and leaves are eaten in Africa but only fruit in Madagascar. Health & Nutrition Cucumbers are largely water and eaten at an early stage where their seeds are immature and haven't developed much protein. They aren't nutrition powerhouses but they do have a broad range of vitamins and minerals in significant amounts and they are very low in calories and fat. Way back in the early '70s I used to get a nutritional publication from one of Ralph Nader's organizations. Ralph was saying pickles should be taken off the market because of their cost / nutritional content ratio was so low. The vitamin C content is degraded by pickling but some other nutrients may become more available - but I really don't think people are eating pickles for their nutritional value, Ralph. They eat them for taste. Links C1 - Cucurbit Botanical Info. - Cucurbit.org

Follow 14 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: 8weeks and 10 weeks is right in UK people who say different are probably from the states so there vaccinations are different from ares. After his second vaccinaton you need to wait a week. I would also advice get him done for kennel cough which are drops up their nose.poodle power · 9 years ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating Should be fine after 2 weeks, though your vet will tell you the exact time. If you're able to, take him to a puppy class for socialising, your vets can advice you on where, they may even do it themselves. If you can carry lift your pup take him out to get used to smells/cars/everything really, trip in the car, just don't let him mix with dogs you don't know or in areas that strange dogs go. Try and find healthy dogs that you know have been vaccinated to socialise with in the garden. Ukredrosie · 9 years ago0 0 Comment I live in the UK, my vet did my Lab pup's jabs at 8 and 12 weeks. He then said wait another 7 days before you go out on walks. Our local pet shop owner, who has a Golden Retriever, said her vet made her wait 14 days after the second injection.sonofvi · 9 years ago1 0 Comment My dog has just finished his vaccinations and the vet told me a week before I was allowed to take him out of his own garden. He has been out and met my families dogs and he is doing very well.kittiebann · 9 years ago0 0 Commentyour puppy will also need vaccines at 12 and 15 weeks. wait at least 2 weeks after the last set before allowing puppy to have contact with other dogs. the moms immunity wears off around 12 weeks, so any vaccines given before then will not provide your pup with immunity (assuming mom had immunity to pass on), that is the reason for the 2 rounds after the 12 week mark.bob © · 9 years ago0 2 Comment That is too close together. They should be given no closer than three weeks to each other nor longer than 4 weeks apart. 8, 12 & 16 weeks is a good schedule as it makes the last shot at 16 weeks and then it will be the last one. The last shot in the puppy series needs to be given after the pups are 16 weeks or older. Then wait a month for the rabies shot. If there has been no disease in your yard like Parvo or distemper, your pup can go in your yard but do not take it out in public for 1 week after the second shot at the soonest. I usually wait until 1 week after the third shot. Source (s): UC Davis vet school recommendations Pat A · 9 years ago2 4 Comment Dog training techniques are controversial. But, which dog training techniques can you trust? Learn here http://Online Dog Training.enle.info/? EYb U The discussion about which dog training technique to use when training a dog is one that resembles a discussion between an Israeli and a Palestinian. Each one seems absolutely certain of their position and is more than ready to vilify those who don't share their views on dog training. But, if you look at dog training techniques and methods and evaluate their worth and effectiveness based on whether the approach is balanced, it's a lot easier to weed out the garbage. For the most part, trainers and their methods fall into two main categories. Those who do not use a physical consequence as a deterrent and those who do. There are many variations in the methods used by different trainers however, almost all trainers fall into one category or the other. Some trainers use food as a reward and never allow the dog to experience a negative consequence for a poor choice. Other trainers afford the dog the opportunity to experience a consequence for making poor choices. The Use Of Food: Using food is great in the sense that you will probably have a very happy dog on your hands when he realizes that the training comes with an all-you-can-eat buffet. However, using food to train your dog has some pitfalls we think you should be aware of. Food is great if you just want to impress your guests with a couple silly pet tricks but, in the real world, your dog will probably be much more interested in chasing the cat than hanging around to get your silly, dry biscuit. So, if you are using food as the primary or sole motivator, you're in for some disappointment when it comes time for your dog to perform in the real world. Strictly Positive Reinforcement: It is not difficult to find trainers who will tell you they use a kinder, gentler method than those used by consequence and reward trainers. They will tell you that your dog will be emotionally destroyed by the use of correction as a deterrent. Their goal is to sell you on their loving approach to dog training. They would have you believe that their method is much better than those old, barbaric correction methods. If you try to train your dog with a method of training that is as imbalanced as this, you will be in for some serious disappointments. Sure, it sounds like a great idea; training your dog and never having to correct him for making a poor choice. Never having to do the very thing you like doing the least. However, no matter how distasteful the concept of physical consequence is to you, it is necessary if you want a really good dog. You cannot consistently praise a dog when he does something right and never give him a consequence for doing something wrong, and expect him to turn out balanced. Consequence And Reward: In some cases, dog training methods that involve physical consequence as a deterrent cause additional problems. Not by virtue of the fact that the dog received a physical consequence for his poor choice, but because the training was too harsh, improper, or the balance between consequence and reward was not achieved. A bad trainer can destroy any good training system. It is far from true that methods using consequence as a deterrent will result in a fearful dog. It all depends on the skill of the trainer, the manner in which the dog is corrected and the balance between consequence and reward. Dog training techniques and methods that use a healthy balance between consequence and reward are without doubt, the most effective, healthy training techniques you can use. It is important to remember that consequence in NEVER connected to emotion while reward is always given with sincerity and love.? · 1 year ago0 0 Commenta pair of week, yet your vet could be attentive to there's a bad trojan horse around on your section. hear to his suggestion. it incredibly is in basic terms a pair of weeks interior the whole existence of your new puppy after all. and in certainty, maximum domestic canines should not be dragged around everywhere in the start line with. they might desire to be progressively geared up up (muscle groups, joints) so in fact, your vet could be doing you a favour via recommending you are not getting your puppy out in simple terms yet.conte · 2 years ago0 0 Comment12 weeks would be fine.

âHere I am, on the road againâ: 16 convincingly dire songs about touring

1. Bob Seger, “Turn The Page” Like most people, musicians occasionally let off steam by complaining about their jobs. Much of the time, these gripes are hard for listeners to relate to—who wouldn’t want to travel the country and enjoy the spoils of adoring fans, free booze, easy sexual conquests, and lots of money for doing something that seems really fun? Because touring is sometimes like Bob Seger’s “Turn The Page,” a song that reveals certain realities about life on the road that have nothing to do with the good-time fantasies that the rest of us buy into. “Turn The Page” lays out the themes explored by other convincingly dire songs about touring—the endless miles between gigs, the monotony of shows, the loneliness felt by performers even (or perhaps especially) when they’re in front of audiences, and the sense that touring is a punishing treadmill that’s impossible to climb down from. In “Turn The Page,” touring isn’t some crazy adventure; it’s payment for a Faustian deal for riches and stardom that costs the performer his home and humanity.2. Creedence Clearwater Revival, “Lodi” By the time Creedence Clearwater Revival released “Lodi,” it was well on its way to becoming one of the best and most popular rock bands of its generation. But John Fogerty still wasn’t far removed from his days as a club musician, when he would have “to play while people sat there drunk.” While “Lodi” isn’t based on actual events—Fogerty had never even been to Lodi when he wrote it, much less gotten stranded there—the song speaks to the experiences of bands that travel long distances to play gigs in small towns for a smattering of (mostly intoxicated) patrons. For Fogerty, those awful nights can be chalked up to dues-paying, but for most musicians it’s as good as it is ever going to get.3. Jawbreaker, “Tour Song” For the thousands of small-time bands who make the rounds in a cramped van, touring is tedious and occasionally soul-crushing. Jawbreaker’s litany of calamities in “Tour Song” explains why: There are sparsely attended and unpromoted gigs, hostile crowds, free shows, broken gear—“Every little thing, every little thing, every little, little thing, every little thing, every little thing must go wrong ,” howls guitarist-vocalist Blake Schwarzenbach. The song opens with him leaving a message on someone’s answering machine: “It’s Sunday, we’re broken down in the top of Massachusetts looking for a hotel room, show’s off. [Laughs.] It’s pretty heavy.”4. Silkworm, “Miracle Mile” Few songs about touring are as specific as Silkworm’s “Miracle Mile.” The band plays for 15 people and $30, there’s a sound guy who is strung out on Ex-Lax, and the sleeping bags get stolen by an addict with shitty pants. But Silkworm reserves most of its spite for the mechanics who jeopardize the band’s van, which on tour functions as a lifeline; it’s both a home and a way home. They “got ripped off by these assholes at a Fort Lee garage” who “didn’t weld that motherfucking leaf spring.” Only a band well-versed in van troubles on the road would know how to reference a leaf spring.5. Motörhead, “ (We Are) The Road Crew” Before chugging away cosmically in Hawkwind, Lemmy Kilmister briefly worked as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix. When he later formed Motörhead and growled “ (We Are) The Road Crew,” he was speaking from experience. The song details the relentless grind of touring that the stage-scoured Lemmy had found himself trapped in: “Eating junk, feeling bad / Another night, I’m going mad,” he gripes, before adding, “My woman’s leaving, I’m so sad.” Granted, he’s about as eloquent as Tarzan, but Lemmy admits that it’s no one’s fault but his that “another beer is what I need / Another gig, my ears bleed.”6. Lynyrd Skynyrd, “All I Can Do Is Write About It” Before dying along with two other members of Lynyrd Skynyrd in a plane crash in 1977, frontman Ronnie Van Zant already seemed to be tired of his rock-star life. Granted, Skynyrd had its fair share of songs about the joys of being rich and famous. But they were always tempered by introspective, even morose songs like “Am I Losing?” and “Simple Man,” where Van Zant pondered the increasing difficulty of life in the stage lights. His growing depression in the face of touring is most sweetly, sadly summed up in the acoustic “All I Can Do Is Write About It.” “Well this life that I live, it’s took me everywhere / There ain’t no place I ain’t never gone,” sings an exhausted Van Zant, “But it’s kind of like the saying you’ve heard so many times / Well there just ain’t no place like home.” The fact that touring literally killed Van Zant mere months after recording “All I Can Do Is Write About It” makes the song’s homesickness that much more devastating.7. Jerry Jeff Walker, “Life On The Road” Given that so much of country music involves mournful ruminating about one thing or another—usually about relationships, but in a pinch, practically anything will do—it’s no wonder that there are so many songs about the hard life musicians have to bear. For instance, Jerry Jeff Walker’s 1996 rolling lament “Life On The Road,” which grumbles about the necessity of seeing the world by bus “just so y’all can look at us.” His specific grievances are pretty mild, though: While he complains that touring “ain’t all it’s cracked up to be,” he doesn’t get too pointed, apart from the way the bus rocks and rolls, and the way he never knows where he is unless the driver tells him, and the necessity of packing all-black clothes because they’ll get washed “upon your back.” Mostly, though, the song is a basic description of touring that reads as though Walker wrote it on that bus while glancing around himself for inspiration: “You get a bed and a TV set / You get an ashtray for your cigarette / You get HBO, well, that’s life on the road.” (Just don’t confuse it with The Kinks’ unrelated 1977 song “Life On The Road,” which is more about general wanderlust and life dissatisfaction, and features a lot more gay sex than Walker’s version.)8. Loudon Wainwright III, “Motel Blues” If there’s one thing that’s great about touring, it’s the groupies, right? Not so, says Loudon Wainwright III, whose “Motel Blues” chronicles a one-night stand that’s downright depressing. In the song, “a lonely rock ’n’ roller” goes looking for companionship once the TV stations stop broadcasting at 2 a.m. He’s doing it out of boredom; sex is the only alternative to staring “at them ugly grass mat walls.” He finds a young girl who he begs to “save my life,” which sounds like a corny line but it works just the same. The next morning, he advises the girl to ignore the judging glances of the workers at the motel’s front desk; he promises to buy her breakfast, “they’ll think you’re my wife.”9. Iron Maiden, “Wasted Years” The 2009 documentary Iron Maiden: Flight 666 shows the veteran metal band shaking up the tedium of touring by letting frontman Bruce Dickinson—a licensed pilot—fly the group’s tour jet. Long before that, though, Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith wrote the epic song “Wasted Years,” in which Dickinson sings about the travails of traveling the globe in perpetual pursuit of metal godhood. “I close my eyes and think of home / Another city goes by in the night,” he wails like a Viking stuck in the dull cycle of raping and pillaging. “Ain’t it funny how it is, you never miss it ’til it’s gone away? / And my heart is lying there, and it will be ’til my dying day.” For a group whose reign of unabashed triumph hasn’t abated in 30 years, it’s a candid and personal moment of doubt. [pagebreak]10. ABBA, “Super Trouper” There’s much more angst to ABBA than many casual listeners realize, and “Super Trouper” is a perfect example. The group had always preferred the studio—where its pop symphonies could be perfectly orchestrated and executed—over the stage, and the title of “Super Trouper” refers to the blinding lights used in the increasingly huge stadiums ABBA found itself playing in. Anni-Frid Lyngstad sings of the odd, almost surreal detachment that comes from living such a life: “I was sick and tired of everything / When I called you last night from Glasgow / All I do is eat and sleep and sing / Wishing every show was the last show.” Eventually she puts her happy face back on and claims the lights shine “like the sun,” but lines like “How can anyone be so lonely / Part of a success that never ends?” sounds more hellish than happy. The romantic tensions within ABBA at the time are no secret now, but it’s interesting—and heartbreaking—to hear how isolated the individuals in this band of two married couples were during the height of their mega-success in the ’70s.11. Blur, “Look Inside America” In 1993’s “Miss America” and 1994’s “Magic America,” Blur seemed to have a pattern going. But its passing obsession with the United States culminated on the band’s self-titled album in 1997, which ditched Blur’s signature Britpop in favor of a grunge-and-indie-rock-influenced sound that seemed to celebrate and spoof America at the same time. “Look Inside America” was that album’s USA-centric tune—and in typical Blur fashion, it wields a sardonic blade that cuts both ways. “Got to play a second-rate chat show / A nationwide deal, so we gotta go,” deadpans frontman Damon Albarn as he catalogs the many depressing, soul-sucking ways the music industry has forced the group to whore itself out while on tour. “And the whole world could have passed through me / But I don’t know that it means much to me.” No wonder Albarn’s next project, Gorillaz, let him hide behind the virtual persona Stuart “2D” Pot.12. The Who, “Postcard” What seems at first like a jaunty travelogue detailing the Who’s exploits on the road is instead a plea for help from a never-ending nightmare in “Postcard.” There are “people who hurt us” in Germany, “bad vibes like confetti” in Italy, and a litany of other complaints from other parts of the world. The song itself is a letter back to a home that may or may not even exist for songwriter John Entwistle and the rest of the band. The final line (“We’ve done very well, but we’ve been to hell and heaven as well”) not only features a call-out to one of Entwistle’s most famous songs, but serves to underline the difference between fame and happiness. The Who might have been recognized around the world, but “the money’s all gone,” prompting the band to once again undertake the Sisyphean task of touring.13. Neil Young, “Tonight’s The Night” Neil Young was a twitchy, shy sort, and totally unsuited for rock stardom. It seemed inevitable that he’d eventually record an entire album inspired by the wages of his reluctant rock-star status, and he finally did it with 1975’s Tonight’s The Night. Less predictable were the circumstances that directly inspired the record, the deaths of Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten and Young’s friend and longtime roadie Bruce Berry, both of drug overdoses. “Tonight’s The Night,” which bookends the record, serves as a eulogy to Berry, a diligent “working man” who used to idle away the nights strumming away on Young’s guitar when he thought nobody was watching. The second verse tells of Young’s grief at hearing that Berry had died “out on the mainline.” “Tonight’s The Night” isn’t an anthem to road-weariness, but a creepy exaltation to the road-weary, to those who plug away night after night until they’re swallowed whole.14. Drive-By Truckers, “The Opening Act” The story of a fat man falling off a mechanical bull is much more prominent in this melancholy country-rock tune than tour-van horrors, but that’s the point: The song describes the humiliation of being onstage in front of a crowd that was ignoring the band even before the paramedics showed up. “There’s a band onstage that used to be huge / They’re on but no one’s listening / And they’re asked to turn down and they politely oblige.” And they’re the headliners. The lap steel sounds even more mournful about this state of affairs than it would for simple romantic troubles—at least the band onstage got some time in the sun before being banished to mechanical-bull purgatory. The singer’s just the opening act.15. The Bottle Rockets, “Indianapolis” Although the song predates Brian Henneman forming The Bottle Rockets—a demo version from 1991 features an assist from his pals in Uncle Tupelo, Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar —“Indianapolis” is most associated with Henneman’s band and is something of an anthem for life on the road. Ten days into a tour, a “fuel pump that’s deceased” strands Henneman and his bandmates in hell/Indianapolis—he really can’t tell the difference. Sitting in a bar four hours from his hometown, Henneman feels his loyalty wilting—“If I could catch a ride, I really think I’d ditch this band”—and his anxiety about the repair cost growing. Twisting the knife is the music at the bar: “I’ll puke if that jukebox plays John Cougar one more time.”16. The Rolling Stones, “Torn And Frayed” If touring really is such a bad life, why are so many musicians resigned to living it anyway? A clue is found in the Rolling Stones’ “Torn And Frayed,” a country-tinged rocker from Exile On Main St. Mick Jagger sings about the various aspects of touring life that drags musicians down—substance abuse, rootlessness, “dressing rooms filled with parasites”—and how this wear and tear eventually becomes visible to the audience. But none of it seems to matter “as long as the guitar plays,” a nod to the power of music “to steal your heart away” no matter the circumstances. Life on the road might be a bitch, but the music always seems to make it worth tolerating.

What is Tomotherapy?

What is Tomotherapy? Published December 9, 2010 | By Dr Mehta | 1 Comment Download PDF of this page Tomotherapy is a relatively new platform for the delivery of radiation therapy. The radiation is produced and delivered by a linear accelerator. This linear accelerator has been integrated into a CT scanner, a configuration that produces several potential advantages. First, the patient can undergo a CT scan just prior to the delivery of radiotherapy. The CT scan obtained prior to the delivery of radiation is used to ensure that the internal targets or tissues that one is seeking to avoid have not changed their location between treatments. This is also called IGRT, or Image-Guided Radiotherapy. IGRT very cleary improves the accuracy and precision of the radiotherapy that is delivered. The potential benefits of this improvement are that less normal and healthy tissue will be exposed to radiation. While this is intuitively a very good thing, it has not been conclusively demonstrated (yet) to be of clinical benefit to each and every patient. Another advantage is that multiple remote areas can be targeted simultaneously. For some patients, this approach might be particularly useful. Finally, the treatment is delivered from a large number of angles (or helical arcs from a simplistic viewpoint), which allows for more honed deliver of radiation. Some of the unique advantages of this platform have been challenged recently. A technique called VMAT, or Volumetric Arc Therapy (produced by Elekta) and Rapid Arc (produced by Varian) are rival approaches. The radiation is also delivered in one or more “Arcs” of treatment. The linear accelerator comes equipped with IGRT equipment that allows for obtaining a near CT -quality image just prior to treatment. There have been a number of comparison studies between these newer approaches and Tomotherapy. While there might be some very unique cases that are better situated to Tomotherapy, most cases of lung cancer can be treated equally well on both platforms. We have published a comparison study as well, which suggests much the same thing. While the software and hardware for Tomotherapy have improved considerably in the last few years, the delivery time using either VMAT or Rapid Arc is considerably shorter than Tomotherapy. This shorter delivery time has theorectical and practical (you are off the treatment table faster) advantages. I consider myself very lucky to practice in an institution that tries to offer all technologies. We were among the first in the country with IGRT, VMAT, Cyberknife, Gamma Knife, and most recently, Tomotherapy. I strongly believe that patients are best treated by physicians that are experienced in all platforms and can offer patients the best possible treatment plan regardless of platform. Unfortunately, the optimum solution and treatment for a given patient is going to be unique for them.

Douglas F4D Skyray

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search"F4D" redirects here. For the F-4D Phantom, see Mc Donnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. F4D (F-6) Skyray Role Fighter aircraft Manufacturer Douglas Aircraft Company Designer Ed Heinemann First flight 23 January 1951Introduction 1956Retired 1964Status Phased out of service Primary users United States Navy United States Marine Corps Produced 1950–1958Number built 422Developed into Douglas F5D Skylancer The Douglas F4D Skyray (later redesignated F-6 Skyray) was an American carrier-based fighter / interceptor built by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Although it was in service for a relatively short time and never entered combat, it was the first carrier -launched aircraft to hold the world's absolute speed record, at 752.943 mph, [1] and was the first United States Navy and United States Marine Corps fighter that could exceed Mach 1 in level flight. It was the last fighter produced by the Douglas Aircraft Company before it merged with Mc Donnell Aircraft and became Mc Donnell Douglas. The F5D Skylancer was an advanced development of the F4D Skyray that did not go into service. Contents [ hide ]1 Design and development2 Operational history2.1 F5D Skylancer3 Variants4 Operators5 Aircraft on display6 Specifications (F4D-1)7 See also8 Notes9 References10 External links Design and development [ edit]The XF4D-1 prototype aboard Coral Sea, in October 1953. The Skyray was designed to meet a Navy requirement issued in 1947 for a fighter aircraft that could intercept and destroy an enemy aircraft at an altitude of 50,000 ft (15,240 m) within five minutes of the alarm being sounded. [2] The Navy also wanted an aircraft that followed the designs and research of the German aerodynamicist Alexander Lippisch, who moved to the U. S. after World War II. The F4D Skyray was a wide delta wing design with long, sharply swept, rounded wings. The design was named for its resemblance to the manta ray. [3] The thick wing roots contained the air intakes feeding a single turbojet engine. Fuel was contained both in the wings and the deep fuselage. Leading edge slats were fitted for increased lift during takeoff and landing, while the trailing edges were mostly elevon control surfaces. Additional pitch trimmers were fitted inboard near the jet exhaust, and were locked upwards on takeoff and landing. The Westinghouse J40 turbojet was the intended powerplant, but Douglas took a conservative view and designed in contingency options for other power plants. The J40 proved troublesome and was eventually cancelled, and the Skyray was fitted instead with the Pratt & Whitney J57, a more powerful but larger engine. Production aircraft were not delivered until early 1956, while the United States Marine Corps received their first in 1957. In total, 419 F4D-1 (later designated F-6 in the unified designation system) aircraft were produced. Its unique design also played a part in making the Skyray one of the best-known early jet fighters. It was affectionately known as the "Ford" (after the "Four" and "D" of its designation). [4] In 1953, Edward H. Heinemann was awarded the Collier Trophy in recognition of his design work on the F4D. [5]Operational history [ edit]APQ-50A radar of an F4D-1A F4D-1 of VF (AW)-3 in flight over San Diego. In April 1956, VC-3 was the first squadron operational with the F4D-1. [1] This unit was later redesignated VFAW-3 and assigned to NORAD, as the only United States Navy fighter squadron in what was predominantly a United States Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force organization. VFAW-3 was permanently based at NAS North Island in San Diego. The U. S. Marine Corps also flew the Skyray. When the Department of Defense adopted a uniform aircraft designation system patterned on the U. S. Air Force aircraft designation system in September 1962, the F4D was redesignated as the F-6A Skyray. In addition to multiple Navy and Marine Corps squadrons, Naval Air Reserve and Marine Air Reserve squadrons VF-881, VF-882 and VMF-215 also flew the Skyray. The last operational squadron was VMF (AW)-115, which flew the Skyray until February 1964. The Skyray was designed exclusively for the high-altitude interception role, with a high rate and angle of climb. It set a new time-to-altitude record, flying from a standing start to 49,221 feet (15,003 m) in 2 minutes and 36 seconds, all while flying at a 70° pitch angle. [1] As a dedicated interceptor, the F4D was unsuited to the multi-mission capabilities soon in demand, so it had a short career in Navy and Marine Corps service, the last aircraft being withdrawn from service in 1964. Four aircraft were used by NACA (soon to be NASA) until 1969. [6]Under the new 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system, the F4D-1 was redesignated the F-6A. The F4D (old designation) should not be confused with the F-4D (new designation) – the latter being the "D" variant of the Mc Donnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II operated by the U. S. Air Force. F5D Skylancer [ edit]Main article: F5D Skylancer The F5D Skylancer was derived from the F4D and intended to be a Mach 2 capable successor to the Skyray. Although four prototypes were built and flown, the project was cancelled as being too similar in mission parameters to the F8U Crusader and also to reduce dependence upon Douglas Aircraft, which was also producing several other aircraft for the U. S. Navy. [6]Variants [ edit]F4D-1 Skyray XF4D-1Prototypes, redesignated YF-6A in 1962, two built F4D-1Single-seat fighter aircraft, production model redesignated F-6A in 1962, 420 built.

How to Remove Stains From Cutlery

Related Articles How to Remove Stains and Tarnish From Regular Kitchen Silverware How to Remove Stains From Utensils How to Paint Over Tar Stains Taking Corrosion off Pavers Cutlery is subject to exposure to all kinds of substances through regular use: greasy foods, minerals and detergents, to name a few. Over time, that once-sparkling flatware's finish becomes dull and stained. Even stainless-steel cutlery stains. In many cases, these stains can be rubbed away with items already in the kitchen; sometimes, it may take more than one method to completely remove a stain.1Pour a small amount of white vinegar onto a nonabrasive white cloth. Wipe down the cutlery with the cloth to remove general stains and marks such as white hard-water deposits. Rinse and dry with a fresh white cloth.2Fill the sink with 1 inch of hot water -- enough to completely cover a layer of cutlery. Pour in 1 tablespoon of baking soda, swishing it around to dissolve the powder. Add the cutlery to the baking-soda soak and allow them to sit for 10 or 15 minutes. Rinse the cutlery and buff each piece separately.3Add a squirt of mild dish soap to shallow bowl of hot water. Dip a sponge or dishcloth into the soapy water, then wipe cutlery tinted with a rainbow discoloration. This discoloration happens from a dishwasher that doesn't rinse and dry adequately if strong detergents are used to clean the cutlery, or if the cutlery has been exposed to extremely hot grease. Rinse and dry the cutlery after rubbing with the soapy water. This method also removes some chalky hard-water deposits left behind when cutlery is left to air dry.4Apply a dab of stainless-steel cutlery polish to a soft white cloth. Rub stainless cutlery to remove stains and restore shine. Rinse and dry as directed by the polish package instructions, which may vary by brand. Things You Will Need White vinegar Nonabrasive white cloth such as a tea towel Baking soda Mild dishwashing liquid Sponge or dishcloth Shallow bowl Stainless-steel cutlery polish Tips Rinse food debris off cutlery immediately after use to help prevent stains. Wipe sticky foods away with a wet dishcloth, as the substance becomes more difficult to remove once it hardens. Keep silverware and stainless-steel cutlery separated, as stainless may affect the color of the silver if they touch. Avoid using abrasives such as steel wool on cutlery as this may cause fine scratches, which harbor stains. Fine scratches also detract from the cutlery's finish. Do not leave cutlery immersed for extended times in substances that may stain, such as coffee, tea or even some soups.

Suspect in hit-and-run crash that killed 5-year-old boy is arrested after surrendering to police

Ronald O'Neal, 5, died after a hit-and-run crash in South Los Angeles. (Handout / Courtesy of KTLA-TV Channel 5)Matt Hamilton Contact Reporter A 19-year-old man suspected of killing a 5-year-old boy in a hit-and-run crash in South Los Angeles surrendered Wednesday to police. Flanked by his family, Homer Watford arrived at the LAPD ’s 77th Street Station and told a desk officer that he drove the SUV that struck the young boy, identified as Ronald O’Neal. In an interview with detectives, Watford provided a statement and admitted to his role in the crash. He was booked on suspicion of felony hit-and-run and remains in Los Angeles County jail in lieu of $50,000 bond, according to jail records. The deadly incident occurred Tuesday about 5:15 p.m. near 82nd Street and Towne Avenue in Florence, according to LAPD Officer Sal Ramirez. Authorities said a dark green, faded Chevrolet Suburban from the mid-1990s was traveling westbound on 82nd Street toward Towne Avenue. The boy ran into the street and was struck by the vehicle. Ronald was pronounced dead at a hospital. The driver failed to stop and help the boy, authorities said. A surveillance camera captured an image of the SUV suspected of crashing into a 5-year-old boy and fleeing the scene. (KTLA-TV)The boy’s mother said he would have turned 6 in May.“Ronald was my baby,” Jaychele Turner told KTLA-TV Channel 5. “I’m just going to miss him playing the drums, playing a game, dancing.”Turner said her son may have been trying to help nab a neighbor’s dog. He did not usually run into the street, she said. Authorities said the SUV rounded a corner, then stopped after striking the boy. It drove off at a high speed. Police said the driver may have struck the boy a second time when fleeing. Watford’s 20-year-old cousin, Eric Roberts, was also in the car at the time of the crash, police said. Investigators interviewed Roberts and he provided a statement. As of late Wednesday, Roberts had not been arrested.

Self-assessments, check lists and warnings represent some additional content those new to annuities find especially helpful. Click the headings below for more information. At any time, feel free to reach out to the experts at Annuity FYI should you have questions. What is an annuity? An annuity is a contract between you (the annuity owner) and an insurance company. In return for your payment, the insurance company agrees to provide either a regular stream of income, the right to withdraw up to a certain percentage per year, or even a lump sum payment at some future time (generally, once you retire or pass age 59 1/2). Is an annuity suitable for me? For some, annuities can complement a total retirement income strategy to supplement other sources of money during retirement. Annuities have advantages such as allowing you to pay in unlimited premiums and they grow compound tax-deferred. (Upon withdrawals,** you will pay taxes on interest earned and the principal if the annuity was purchased with pre-tax dollars.) However, annuities are not for everyone. What are the different types of annuities? There are different types of annuities to meet the specific needs of individual retirees and pre-retirees.

He finds a glimmer of hope in the mysterious, über-cool and beautiful Raphina (Lucy Boynton), and with the aim of winning her heart he invites her to star in his band's music videos. There's only one problem: he's not part of a band...yet. She agrees, and now Conor must deliver what he's promised - calling himself "Cosmo" and immersing himself in the vibrant rock music trends of the decade, he forms a band with a few lads, and the group pours their heart into writing lyrics and shooting videos.

Murder at the Gallop

Theatrical release poster by Tom Jung Murder at the Gallop is the second of four "Miss Marple" films made by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was based on the novel After the Funeral by Agatha Christie, and starred Margaret Rutherford as Miss Jane Marple, Charles "Bud" Tingwell as Inspector Craddock and Stringer Davis (Rutherford's real-life husband) as Jane Marple's friend Mr. Stringer. The film changes both the action and the characters. The original novel featured Hercule Poirot rather than Miss Marple, and Christie's trademark suspense was replaced by light comedy. The film was made in 1963 and was directed by George Pollock, with James P. Cavanagh credited with the adaptation. The music was by Ron Goodwin. Hilfield Castle featured in the film. Plot Edit While Miss Marple and Mr Stringer are soliciting donations for a charity, they visit Mr Enderby, a rich and eccentric recluse. He tumbles down a staircase, apparently the victim of a fatal heart attack. Knowing that Enderby had a pathological fear of cats, Miss Marple becomes suspicious when she finds one in the house. She also finds a piece of mud bearing the print of a riding boot, but when she goes to Inspector Craddock, he is sceptical, believing that Enderby died of natural causes. Undeterred, Miss Marple eavesdrops when Enderby's family gather for the reading of the Will. Each of the four heirs (fourth cousin George Crossfield, niece Rosamund Shane, nephew Hector Enderby and sister Cora Lanskenay) receives an equal share of the estate. Cora declares that she believes Enderby was murdered. The next day, when Miss Marple goes to see her, she finds Cora dead, stabbed in the back with a hatpin. Cora's companion of many years, timid Miss Milchrest (Flora Robson), can provide little information. Miss Marple decides to take a "holiday" at the Gallop Hotel/riding school, as it is run by Hector Enderby (Robert Morley) and the other two surviving heirs are staying there. Inspector Craddock questions them (and Rosamund Shane's spendthrift husband Michael), but none of them can produce a satisfactory alibi for the time of Cora Lanskenay's death. An attempt is made to do away with Miss Marple, but is foiled by the intended victim (without her even realising it). Miss Marple then discovers that the piece of mud found in Enderby's house came from shady art dealer George Crossfield's riding boot, but her case against him is dashed when she learns that each of the heirs visited Enderby on the day he died. Crossfield has meanwhile found out who the murderer is, but he is locked in a stall with an excitable horse and is trampled to death. By this point, Miss Marple knows the identity and motive of the killer, but has no definite proof. She therefore lays a trap, pretending to have a heart attack at a dance at the hotel while doing the twist with Stringer. The police doctor places her in a room by herself, declaring it to be too dangerous to move her until morning. During the night, the criminal makes one last attempt to silence her, but Miss Marple is ready. The killer is revealed to be Miss Milchrest, disguised as Cora. She had been after Cora's seemingly worthless painting.

Data Stream Processing with Amazon Kinesis and .NET Applications

Data Stream Processing with Amazon Kinesis and . NET Applications By Richard Seroter on January 9, 2014 • ( 7 )Amazon Kinesis is a new data stream processing service from AWS that makes it possible to ingest and read high volumes of data in real-time. That description may sound vaguely familiar to those who followed Microsoft’s attempts to put their CEP engine Stream Insight into the Windows Azure cloud as part of “Project Austin.” Two major differences between the two: Kinesis doesn’t have the stream query aspects of Stream Insight, and Amazon actually SHIPPED their product. Kinesis looks pretty cool, and I wanted to try out a scenario where I have (1) a Windows Azure Web Site that generates data, (2) Amazon Kinesis processing data, and (3) an application in the Century Link Cloud which is reading the data stream. What is Amazon Kinesis? Kinesis provides a managed service that handles the intake, storage, and transportation of real-time streams of data. Each stream can handle nearly unlimited data volumes. Users set up shards which are the means for scaling up (and down) the capacity of the stream. All the data that comes into the a Kinesis stream is replicated across AWS availability zones within a region. This provides a great high availability story. Additionally, multiple sources can write to a stream, and a stream can be read by multiple applications. Data is available in the stream for up to 24 hours, meaning that applications (readers) can pull shard records based on multiple schemes: given sequence number, oldest record, latest record. Kinesis uses Dynamo DB to store application state (like checkpoints). You can interact with Kinesis via the provided REST API or via platform SDKs. What DOESN’T Kinesis do? It doesn’t have any sort of adapter model, so it’s up to the developer to build producers (writers) and applications (readers). There is a nice client library for Java that has a lot of built in logic for application load balancing and such. But for the most part, this is still a developer-oriented solution for building big data processing solutions. Setting up Amazon Kinesis First off, I logged into the AWS console and located Kinesis in the navigation menu. I’m then given the choice to create a new stream. Next, I need to choose the initial number of shards for the stream. I can either put in the number myself, or use a calculator that helps me estimate how many shards I’ll need based on my data volume. After a few seconds, my managed Kinesis stream is ready to use. For a given stream, I can see available shards, and some Cloud Watch metrics related to capacity, latency, and requests. I now have an environment for use!Creating a data producer Now I was ready to build an ASP. NET web site that publishes data to the Kinesis endpoint. The AWS SDK for . NET already Kinesis objects, so no reason to make this more complicated than it has to be. My ASP. NET site has Nu Get packages that reference JSON. NET (for JSON serialization), AWS SDK, j Query, and Bootstrap. The web application is fairly basic. It’s for ordering pizza from a global chain. Imagine sending order info to Kinesis and seeing real-time reactions to marketing campaigns, weather trends, and more. Kinesis isn’t a messaging engine per se, but it’s for collecting and analyzing data. Here, I’m collecting some simplistic data in a form. When clicking the “order” button, I build up the request and send it to a particular Kinesis stream. First, I added the following “using” statements:using Newtonsoft. Json; using Amazon. Kinesis; using Amazon. Kinesis. Model; using System. IO; using System. Text;The button click event has the following (documented) code. Notice a few things. My AWS credentials are stored in the web.config file, and I pass in an Amazon Kinesis Config to the client constructor. Why? I need to tell the client library which AWS region my Kinesis stream is in so that it can build the proper request URL. See that I added a few properties to the actual put request object. First, I set the stream name. Second, I added a partition key which is used to place the record in a given shard. It’s a way of putting “like” records in a particular shard.protected void btn Order_Click (object sender, Event Args e) { //generate unique order id string order Id = System. Guid. New Guid (). To String (); //build up the CLR order object Order o = new Order () { Id = order Id, Source = "web", Store Id = storeid. Text, Pizza Id = pizzaid. Text, Timestamp = Date Time. Now. To String () }; //convert to byte array in prep for adding to stream byte [] o Byte = Encoding. UTF8. Get Bytes (Json Convert. Serialize Object (o)); //create stream object to add to Kinesis request using (Memory Stream ms = new Memory Stream (o Byte)) { //create config that points to AWS region Amazon Kinesis Config config = new Amazon Kinesis Config (); config. Region Endpoint = Amazon. Region Endpoint. USEast1; //create client that pulls creds from web.config and takes in Kinesis config Amazon Kinesis Client client = new Amazon Kinesis Client (config); //create put request Put Record Request request Record = new Put Record Request (); //list name of Kinesis stream request Record. Stream Name = "Order Stream"; //give partition key that is used to place record in particular shard request Record. Partition Key = "weborder"; //add record as memorystream request Record. Data = ms; //PUT the record to Kinesis Put Record Response response Record = client. Put Record (request Record); //show shard ID and sequence number to user lbl Shard Id. Text = "Shard ID: " + response Record. Shard Id; lbl Sequence. Text = "Sequence #:" + response Record. Sequence Number; } }With the web application done, I published it to a Windows Azure Web Site. This is super easy to do with Visual Studio 2013, and within a few seconds my application was there. Finally, I submitted a bunch of records to Kinesis by adding pizza orders. Notice the shard ID and sequence number that Kinesis returns from each PUT request. Creating a Kinesis application (record consumer)To realistically read data from a Kinesis stream, there are three steps. First, you need to describe the stream in order to find out the shards. If I want a fleet of servers to run this application and read the stream, I’d need a way for each application to claim a shard to work on. The second step is to retrieve a “shard iterator” for a given shard. The iterator points to a place in the shard where I want to start reading data. Recall from above that I can start with the latest unread records, oldest records, or at a specific point in the shard. The third and final step is to get the records from a particular iterator. Part of the result set of this operation is a “next iterator” value. In my code, if I find another iterator value, I once again call the “get records” operation to pull any records from that iterator position. Here’s the total code block, documented for your benefit.private static void Read From Kinesis () { //create config that points to Kinesis region Amazon Kinesis Config config = new Amazon Kinesis Config (); config. Region Endpoint = Amazon. Region Endpoint. USEast1; //create new client object Amazon Kinesis Client client = new Amazon Kinesis Client (config); //Step #1 - describe stream to find out the shards it contains Describe Stream Request describe Request = new Describe Stream Request (); describe Request. Stream Name = "Order Stream"; Describe Stream Response describe Response = client. Describe Stream (describe Request); List<Shard> shards = describe Response. Stream Description. Shards; foreach (Shard s in shards) { Console. Write Line ("shard: " + s. Shard Id); } //grab the only shard ID in this stream string primary Shard Id = shards [0]. Shard Id; //Step #2 - get iterator for this shard Get Shard Iterator Request iterator Request = new Get Shard Iterator Request (); iterator Request. Stream Name = "Order Stream"; iterator Request. Shard Id = primary Shard Id; iterator Request. Shard Iterator Type = Shard Iterator Type. TRIM_HORIZON; Get Shard Iterator Response iterator Response = client. Get Shard Iterator (iterator Request); string iterator = iterator Response. Shard Iterator; Console. Write Line ("Iterator: " + iterator); //Step #3 - get records in this iterator Get Shard Records (client, iterator); Console. Write Line ("All records read. "); Console. Read Line (); } private static void Get Shard Records (Amazon Kinesis Client client, string iterator Id) { //create reqest Get Records Request get Request = new Get Records Request (); get Request. Limit = 100; get Request. Shard Iterator = iterator Id; //call "get" operation and get everything in this shard range Get Records Response get Response = client. Get Records (get Request); //get reference to next iterator for this shard string next Iterator = get Response. Next Shard Iterator; //retrieve records List<Record> records = get Response. Records; //print out each record's data value foreach (Record r in records) { //pull out (JSON) data in this record string s = Encoding. UTF8. Get String (r. Data. To Array ()); Console. Write Line ("Record: " + s); Console. Write Line ("Partition Key: " + r. Partition Key); } if (null != next Iterator) { //if there's another iterator, call operation again Get Shard Records (client, next Iterator); } }Now I had a working Kinesis application that can run anywhere. Clearly it’s easy to run this on AWS EC2 servers (and the SDK does a nice job with retrieving temporary credentials for apps running within EC2), but there’s a good chance that cloud users have a diverse portfolio of providers. Let’s say I love the application services from AWS, but like the server performance and management capabilities from Century Link. In this case, I built a Windows Server to run my Kinesis application. With my server ready, I ran the application and saw my shards, my iterators, and my data records. Very cool and pretty simple. Don’t forget that each data consumer has some work to do to parse the stream, find the (partition) data they want, and perform queries on it. You can imagine loading this into an Observable and using LINQ queries on it to aggregate data. Regardless, it’s very nice to have a durable stream processing service that supports replays and multiple readers. Summary The “ internet of things ” is here, and companies that can quickly gather and analyze data will have a major advantage. Amazon Kinesis is an important service to that end, but don’t think of it as something that ONLY works with other applications in the AWS cloud. We saw here that you could have all sorts of data producers running on devices, on-premises, or in other clouds. The Kinesis applications that consume data can also run virtually anywhere. The modern architect recognizes that composite applications are the way to go, and hopefully this helped you understand another services that’s available to you!Advertisements Share this: Twitter Linked In Facebook Reddit Google Email Loading...‹ How Do I Get Things Done?

Definitions of Child Abuse and Neglect

The following definitions may be found under the Department of Children and Families Regulations (110 CMR, section 2.00): Abuse: the non-accidental commission of any act by a caretaker upon a child under age 18 which causes, or creates a substantial risk of, physical or emotional injury; or constitutes a sexual offense under the laws of the Commonwealth; or any sexual contact between a caretaker and a child under the care of that individual. This definition is not dependent upon location (i.e., abuse can occur while the child is in an out-of-home or in-home setting. Shaken Baby Syndrome: infants, babies or small children who suffer injuries or death from severe shaking, jerking, pushing or puling may have been victims of Shaken Baby Syndrome. The act of shaking a baby is considered physical abuse, as spinal, head and neck injuries often result from violently shaking young children. Neglect: Failure by a caretaker, either deliberately or through negligence or inability to take those actions necessary to provide a child with minimally adequate food, clothing, shelter, medical care, supervision, emotional stability and growth, or other essential care; provided, however, that such inability is not due solely to inadequate economic resources or solely to the existence of a handicapping condition. This definition is not dependent upon location (i.e., neglect can occur while the child is in an out-of-home setting). Emotional Injury: an impairment to or disorder of the intellectual or psychological capacity of a child as evidenced by observable and substantial reduction in the child's ability to function within a normal range of performance and behavior. Physical Injury: Death; or fracture of a bone, subdural hematoma, burns, impairment of any organ, and any other such nontrivial injury; or soft tissue swelling or skin bruising, depending upon such factors as the child's age, circumstances under which the injury occurred and the number and location of bruises; or addiction to a drug or drugs at birth; or failure to thrive. Institutional Abuse or Neglect: Abuse or neglect which occurs in any facility for children, including, but not limited to, group homes, residential or public or private schools, hospitals, detention and treatment facilities, family foster care homes, group day care centers and family day care homes. This information is provided by the Department of Children and Families.

The aim is to create the environment variable FULLPROF. To know what is the shell one is using you should execute the command:echo $SHELLGenerally it is one of the following: Bourne (sh, bash), Korn (ksh), C (csh)From now we suppose we are using the Bourne of bash type. If you have another one you must consult how to do the equivalent commands we explain below. Edit the setting file of the user. In our case it should be in the root directory of the user and the name is .bashrc or .bash_profile Add the environment variable FULLPROF, that has as value the absolute path of the directory in which we have installed the programs of the Full Prof Suite. For instance: FULLPROF=/opt/Full Prof_Suite FULLPROF=/usr/local/bin/Full Prof_Suite<Add the above directory to the PATH variable PATH=$FULLPROF:$PATHExport the defined variableexport FULLPROFThe changes will be effective on opening a new terminal window. To verify that everything is OK, just type in your terminal the command:echo $FULLPROFThe system will show the directory in which you have installed the programs. After performing all the above steps all the programs of the Full Prof Suite are available from whatever working directory. If you need to update the Full Prof Suite you just have to do the steps 3 and 4 of the General or Local mode described above. Only in the case you decide to use another directory you have to redefine the environment variable. You can use the programs in console mode or use the toolbar (command tfp) to access the different programs. Depending of your installation you may need to install the libraries of Open Motif version 2.3. Do that only in case one of the GUIs doesn't work and you see a message of the form: "lib Xm.so.3" not available or something similar.

Did Beyoncé Fake Her Pregnancy?

Did Beyoncé Fake Her Pregnancy?473.52KGabrielle Bluestone03/26/15 03:05PM Filed to: illuminati month Beyoncé's 2011 pregnancy was more than just the buildup to the birth of Blue Ivy—it was also a gestation period for crazed baby-conspiracy theorists. Why did one of the world's foremost experts in self-promotion release only a few arty pictures of her stomach to document the pregnancy? How did she manage to give birth in a Manhattan hospital without any information about the event itself leaking from a third party? And what was with her stomach collapsing during that one TV appearance? All good mysteries, easily solved by the chaise-lounge conspiracy theorist: Duh. Beyoncé was never pregnant. The No, No, No Baby Theory essentially boils down to three pieces of evidence: 1) the shifting stomach 2) the shifting due date and 3) the dearth of pregnancy photos. Why would Beyoncé fake a pregnancy? Most theorists point to vanity or possible fertility problems. (She has previously spoken candidly about a prior pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage, and addressed the subject in songs. )Some say the image-conscious power-wife opted to raise Jay Z's illegitimate child (the product of an extramarital affair with an unknown woman) as her own, rather than get divorced. Others argue (outlandishly, given her appearance) that Blue Ivy is neither Beyoncé's daughter, nor Jay Z's, but rather the offspring of Beyoncé's philandering father, Matthew Knowles, secretly adopted by the Carters. No matter which school of thought you subscribe to, most conspiracy theorists agree the pregnancé conspiracé officially began on August 28, 2011 when Bey attended the VMA's dressed in a loose orange gown, cradling what appeared to be a pregnancy bump. She ended her performance that evening by unbuttoning her jacket and rubbing her visibly rounded stomach, as a camera cut to Jay Z receiving congratulations from a jubilant Kanye West. Image via AP"I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to unveil it. It was important to me that I was able to do it myself," Beyoncé told reporters at the time. An impeccably planned announcement, as befitting the notoriously detail-oriented performer. But almost immediately, Beyoncé began contradicting herself with statements about the pregnancy's progress. She claimed, in a September interview, that her due date was in February, which would make her four months pregnant at the VMAs. But at a video shoot for "Countdown" that same month, she said she was six months along, making her five months pregnant at the VMAs—the right timing for Blue Ivy's January 7 birthdate. So she was trying to fake out the press, the reasonable fan says. What else you got? A pregnant stomach, which Beyoncé seemed to have only occasionally. Despite sporting a substantial bump at the VMA's, there's no hint of it in the music video for Party, reportedly shot earlier that month. Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 3:41That's easy to explain: Maybe they bound her up and Photoshopped her a little. But a week after the VMA's, she allowed herself to be photographed wearing a bikini in Croatia with Jay-Z. The bump she was sporting looked significantly smaller than it had at the awards show. I could do that, whispers the burrito-eating theorist. Even harder to explain were the physics on display at an interview with Australia's Sunday Night. In a bend seen round the world, Beyoncé's bump appeared to deflate as she sat down: Image via Mommyish.com At this point, the conspiracy began picking up celebrity followers. "I dont think she was pregnant. The deflated stomach thing. I watched the video and I don't know. She sat down and she looked up like 'Oh shit'," Tamar Braxton later said. After conducting a test with two of her pregnant staffers, Wendy Williams concurred: Now being a woman, I had my baby bump. Many of you have had baby bumps. I never remember [squatting]. Just take a look at the video. She's either giving birth to a frisbee, or Stewie from family guy. What is that, B? I was on bed rest the whole time, I'm not exactly sure. But I can tell you, when I would get out of the bed and sit up at a kitchen table, I wouldn't be able to sit like that. Like, I was so concerned about my back and the baby. Even at 5 months I sat like [stands up and leans back into the chair] this. Even mommy bloggers jumped into the fray. Said one: "In my experience, pregnant women assume seats slowly and lean back as they ease into a chair to secure a good landing. Generally, they do not lean forward with their big bellies, straining their backs. ""It was fabric that folded—does fabric not fold? Oh my gosh, so stupid," explained Beyoncé. Well, you may be thinking, surely someone saw her give birth? She didn't pop the kid out at home. Maybe, but no one's talking!According to reports, Bey and Jay paid $1.3 million to secure and redecorate the entire fourth floor NICU wing of Manhattan's Lenox Hill Hospital. On the alleged day of Blue Ivy's birth, January 7, 2012: After 11 p.m., even doctors and nurses were barred from entering the fourth floor, prompting one doc to complain that he had patients to see. In an effort to keep images from leaking to the public, hospital workers placed tape over security cameras and are forcing employees to turn in cell phones when they arrive for their shifts, a source said. Several security guards were spotted patrolling the perimeter of the hospital Saturday night. A Lenox Hill staffer confirmed that a patient named Ingrid Jackson [Bey's apparent pseudonym] was in a "labor room. ""I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth," Beyoncé later said of the experience. "I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth. "So where are all the pictures of this pregnant woman? Wouldn't a woman planning on launching a maternity line photograph that bump as often as possible? Put short, Beyoncé's response to her changing body was... underwhelming. In fact, it took two years for her to release any private photos at all. During her 2013 HBO special, Life is But a Dream, Beyoncé finally shared a series of blurry pregnancy photos and delivered a short message about the "rumors," which essentially denied nothing. And while stylistically intriguing, none of the belly shots—seemingly included to prove Beyoncé was really pregnant at the time—look particularly difficult to fake. "There's a stupid rumor," Beyoncé says of the surrogacy claims in the film, looking down and shaking her head. It's actually the most ridiculous rumor I think I've ever had, about me. But there are actually a lot of people that believe this rumor and it's crazy. I guess there are some crazy celebrities in the world, so we get a bad rep, but...um...to think that I would be that vain. And I respect mothers and women so much and to be able to experience bringing a child into this world if you're lucky and fortunate enough to get the opportunity, people should have boundaries. There's certain things that you just shouldn't play around with, and a child, you don't play around with that. A fine message, but one that doesn't deny the most popular Blue Ivy conspiracy theory: that a surrogate carried the babé. Why not explicitly put the rumors to rest? Beyoncé's statement, in essence, denies only that she would hire a surrogate out of vanity. The message seems irrelevant if say, fertility issues drove the surrogacy. As Rich Juzwiak points out in his excellent analysis, the choice to avoid hard evidence was hardly unintentional: Regardless, it makes sense that given the time examined, Beyoncé's movie would chronicle Beyoncé's pregnancy and the controversy it birthed. The problem with Life Is But a Dream 's treatment of her pregnancy isn't that it protests too much – it protests too weirdly. We never see a full, clear shot of Beyoncé's pregnant, swanlike body. Instead it's presented in pieces, owing to the limitations of her Mac webcam. When her body is shown in full, it's in grainy, black and white footage in which her face is shadowed. Why, though? If you're going to present an image of your pregnant self to prove the naysayers wrong, why do it in such an obscure way? Why bother? The footage seems to exist to be described as "beautiful." Is it just art, or more lies? Since then, at least one woman has come forward to claim maternity of the child, though the Daily Mail reports she's also claimed to be the legal mother of North West, Prince George, and all three of Michael Jackson's kids. But whoever birthed Blue Ivy, one thing's for sure: that kid is definitely Jay's.

12 Types of Birth Control

Home Birth Control12 Types of Birth Control Health.com March 26, 20101 of 13 Getty Images Weighing your options It’s easy to be confused by all the birth control options out there: Should you take a progestin-only pill or the mainstream combination pill? Can an IUD affect your chances of having children in the future? Is the female condom as effective as its male counterpart? Luckily, we have answers. Here are 12 of the most common birth control methods, and why you should or shouldn’t try them. Advertisement2 of 13 Getty Images Combination pill What it's called: Estrostep Fe, Lo Estrin 1/20, Ortho-Novum 7/7/7, Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, Yasmin, Yaz What it does: This birth control mainstay is still 99% effective against pregnancy when taken around the same time every day. It's also known for easing hot flashes and restoring regular periods. Who should avoid it: Smokers and those 35 or older. The estrogen may cause dangerous blood clots. If you suffer from migraines, you should also pass because it may trigger the painful headaches.3 of 13 Getty Images Progestin-only pill What it's called: Micronor, Nora-BE, Nor-QD, Ovrette What it does: Known as the mini pill, progestin-only meds don't contain estrogen. They're safer for smokers, diabetics, and heart disease patients, as well as those at risk for blood clots. They also won't reduce the milk supply for women who are breast-feeding. Who should avoid it: If you have trouble remembering to take your pill at the same time every day, progestin-only pills might not be your best bet. They need to be taken at exactly the same time every day; if you're more than three hours late, plan on using a backup method. Advertisement4 of 13Extended-cycle pill What it's called: Lybrel, Seasonale, Seasonique What it does: These pills prevent pregnancy and allow you to have a period only every three months. (Note: Lybrel stops your period for a year, but you must take a pill every day, year-round.) Who should avoid it: There's no evidence proving it's dangerous not to have periods, but there is still no long-term research to show that it is safe. Advertisement5 of 13Vaginal ring What it's called: Nuva Ring What it does: The ring is made of flexible plastic and delivers estrogen and progestin, just like the combination pill. You place the ring in your vagina for three weeks, and then remove it for one week so that you have a regular period. Who should avoid it: Women who smoke, or have blood clots or certain cancers, should not use the Nuva Ring. Advertisement6 of 13 Getty Images Diaphragm What it's called: Milex Wide Seal, Ortho All-Flex, Semina, SILCS What it does: Made of rubber and shaped like a dome, a diaphragm prevents sperm from fertilizing an egg. It covers the cervix and must always be used with a spermicide. Women must be fitted for a diaphragm in their doctor's office. Who should avoid it: If your weight tends to fluctuate by more than 10 pounds at a time, the diaphragm may not work. If you gain or lose weight, you'll need to be refitted. Prone to bladder infections? You might want to consider another option. If you've had toxic shock syndrome, you shouldn't use a diaphragm. Advertisement7 of 13 Getty Images IUDWhat it's called: Mirena, Para Gard What it does: Para Gard is a surgically implanted copper device that prevents sperm from reaching the egg. Mirena, also surgically implanted, works by releasing hormones. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are more than 99% effective and good for 10 years. Who should avoid it: Some doctors recommend the device only for women who have given birth. When the device is implanted, your uterus is expanded, and this might cause pain in women who have not had children. If you're planning on having children in a year or two, look at other options. The IUD can be removed, but the high cost—up to $500—might not be worth it for short-term use. Advertisement8 of 13 Getty Images Female condom What it's called: Femy, Protectiv, Reality What it does: The female condom is made of polyurethane, or soft plastic, and protects against STDs. It is inserted deep into the vagina, over the cervix, much like a diaphragm. Unlike the male condom, the female condom can be put into place up to eight hours before sex. Who should avoid it: Male condoms offer more protection—both against STDs and pregnancy—than female condoms, so if you and your male partner aren't in a long-term, monogamous relationship, female condoms are not a perfect substitute. Advertisement9 of 13 Istockphoto Male condom What it's called: Durex, Life Styles, Trojan What it does: Male condoms protect against pregnancy and STDs, including HIV. Worn properly, condoms prevent sperm from entering the uterus. Go with latex or polyurethane condoms; lambskins do not shield you against all STDs. Who should avoid it: If your mate is allergic to latex or polyurethane, you'll have to find another option. And if you tend to use a lubricant that contains oil, such as hand lotion or baby oil, you'll need to switch to an oil-free option like K-Y Jelly, which, unlike oil-based lubricants, doesn't degrade latex. Advertisement10 of 13 Getty Images Patch What it's called: Ortho Evra What it does: You can place the hormone-releasing patch on your arm, buttock, or abdomen, and rest easy for one week. Who should avoid it: If you're particularly at risk for blood clots, you might want to find a different method. The patch delivers 60% more estrogen than a low-dose pill, so you're at an increased risk for dangerous blood clots. Advertisement11 of 13Implant What it's called: Implanon, Norplant What it does: About the size of a matchstick, the implant is placed under the skin on your upper arm. Implants last for three years and can cost up to $800. They are nearly 100% effective. Who should avoid it: Implanon may not work as well for women taking St. John's wort, or women who are overweight. Advertisement12 of 13Sterilization What it's called: Essure, tubal ligation, vasectomy What it does: Women can undergo either tubal ligation, a surgical procedure that blocks the fallopian tubes from carrying eggs to the uterus, or tubal implants (Essure), a nonsurgical technique in which a small coil is inserted into the fallopian tubes. The sterilization process is less risky for men: A vasectomy is a minor surgery in which the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles are cut. Who should avoid it: If you plan to have children, sterilization is not an option—it's not designed to be reversible. Advertisement13 of 13 Getty Images Emergency contraception What it's called: Copper T IUD, Next Choice, Plan B, Plan B One-Step What it does: Emergency contraception is a backup for regular birth control. Plan B contains a higher dose of the same synthetic hormones found in the combination pill. It works best if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, but may work up to five days later. There's also the copper T IUD, which a doctor can insert into your uterus five to seven days after unprotected sex. Who should avoid it: Plan B, known as the morning-after pill, is available over-the-counter at most pharmacies, but only to women 18 years and older. Minors need a prescription. Copper T IUDs can be very expensive—up to $500. Plus, they last for up to 10 years, so if you hope to get pregnant in the future, this isn't for you. You May Like Read More

Top 10 Most Poisonous Plants On the Earth

Top 10 Most Poisonous Plants On the Earth Gnxtgroup Subscribe 169KAdd to Share More23,741 views8611Published on Jun 20, 2015ten most deadly plants in the world Jimson Weed Datura stramonium, known by the common names Jimson weed, Devil's snare or datura, is a plant in the Solanaceae family. It is believed to have originated in the Americas, but is now found around the world Rhododendron Some species of rhododendron are poisonous to grazing animals because of a toxin called grayanotoxin in their pollen and nectar. People have been known to become ill from eating honey made by bees feeding on rhododendron and azalea flowers. Ageratina altissima Ageratina altissima, also known as white snakeroot is a poisonous perennial herb in the family Asteraceae, native to eastern North America. White Snakeroot contains the toxin tremetol; when the plants are consumed by cattle, the meat and milk become contaminated with the toxin. When milk or meat containing the toxin is consumed, the poison is passed on to humans. If consumed in large enough quantities, it can cause tremetol poisoning in humans. The poisoning is also called milk sickness, as humans often ingested the toxin by drinking the milk of cows that had eaten snakeroot. Hydrangea Hydrangeas are moderately toxic if eaten, with all parts of the plant containing cyanogenic glycosides. Hydrangea paniculata is reportedly sometimes smoked as an intoxicant, despite the danger of illness and/or death due to the cyanide. Taxus baccata Most parts of the tree are toxic, except the bright red aril surrounding the seed. The foliage remains toxic even when wilted, and toxicity increases in potency when dried. Ingestion and subsequent excretion by birds whose beaks and digestive systems do not break down the seed's coating are the primary means of yew dispersal. Water hemlock Cicuta, commonly known as water hemlock, is a small genus of four species of highly poisonous plants in the family Apiaceae. Water hemlock is considered one of North America's most toxic plants, being highly poisonous to humans. Three members of the genus contain a toxin named cicutoxin which causes central nervous system stimulatory effects including seizures following ingestion. Castor oil plant The castor oil plant (Ricinus communis) is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. It belongs to a monotypic genus, Ricinus, and subtribe, Ricininae. The evolution of castor and its relation to other species are currently being studied using modern genetic tools An alcoholic extract of the leaf was shown, in lab rats, to protect the liver from damage from certain poisons Rosary Pea Abrus precatorius, known commonly as jequirity, Crab's eye, rosary pea, precatory pea or bean,The toxin abrin is a dimer consisting of two protein subunits, termed A and B. The B chain facilitates abrin's entry into a cell by bonding to certain transport proteins on cell membranes, which then transport the toxin into the cell. Once inside the cell, the A chain prevents protein synthesis by inactivating the 26S subunit of the ribosome. One molecule of abrin will inactivate up to 1,500 ribosomes per second. Atropa belladonna Atropa bella-donna, commonly known as Belladonna or Deadly Nightshade, Belladonna is one of the most toxic plants found in the Eastern Hemisphere. All parts of the plant contain tropane alkaloids. The berries pose the greatest danger to children because they look attractive and have a somewhat sweet taste. The consumption of two to five berries by a human adult is probably lethal. The root of the plant is generally the most toxic part, though this can vary from one specimen to another. Ingestion of a single leaf of the plant can be fatal to an adult Nerium Oleander Nerium oleander is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, toxic in all its parts. Oleander poisoning occurs when someone sucks nectar from the flowers or chews leaves from the oleander or yellow oleander plant. Poisoning can also happen if you eat honey made by bees that used the oleander plant for nectar. Show more Loading...

Here is a definition of the US Rule: The US Rule determines interest paid on the loan after a partial payment is made before the due date of the loan. The partial payment pays the interest first for that given time and then a part of the principal. The interest for the remaining part of the loan is calculated on the new principal and the days since the partial payment. When applying the US Rule, the Banker's Rule is used to calculate the interest (360 days = 1 year and any fractional part of a year = exact number of days. )Follow Math Help Forum on Facebook and Google+Sep 30th 2010, 10:35 AM #4emakarov MHF Contributor Joined Oct 2009Posts 5,577Thanks 790Disclaimer: my specialization is mathematical logic. (All calculations done in Open Office Calc.) Between the effective date and the partial payment date there are 238 date. Therefore, the interest on that date was 257.83. The partial payment is greater that that interest, so the balance of the payment is applied to the principle. Therefore, the new principle is 2757.83. Between the partial payment date and the maturity date there are 44 days, so the interest is 21.91. So, the balance due is 21.91. Follow Math Help Forum on Facebook and Google+

Radioactivity is Unaffected by Physical or Chemical State

Radioactivity is Unaffected by Physical or Chemical State The radioactive half-life for a given radioisotope is a measure of the tendency of the nucleus to "decay" or "disintegrate" and as such is based purely upon that probability. The tiny nuclear size compared to the atom and the enormity of the forces which act within it make it almost totally impervious to the outside world. The half-life is independent of the physical state (solid, liquid, gas), temperature, pressure, the chemical compound in which the nucleus finds itself, and essentially any other outside influence. It is independent of the chemistry of the atomic surface, and independent of the ordinary physical factors of the outside world. The only thing which can alter the half-life is direct nuclear interaction with a particle from outside, e.g., a high energy collision in an accelerator. Even in that case, the nature of the nucleus is changed, as in the bombardment of nitrogen nuclei in the atmosphere which is the basis for carbon dating. As long as the nucleus of the isotope remains intact, the half-life of a radioactive tracer can be depended upon. Index
