Prayer Times in Quran
After the testimony of Faith, Salah (prayer) is the second major pillar of Islam. So Salah is an obligation for every Muslim to perform it on time. Muslims from all across the globe perform Salah five times a day:
Like Ramadan, Hajj and Friday prayer, Salah is also one of the rituals that must be performed within the correct time frame. If a prayer is performed before the prescribed time, the Salah will not be accepted. One must repeat this prayer when the time comes. At the same time, people are disobedient when a prayer is made too late. Allah has ordered us in ayah 103 of Surah 4 to perform the prayers at least (there are some other conditions) within the right time in order to get a prayer accepted!
Calculation Method for the prayer times in Saint-Norbert
The Calculation method for the prayer times in Saint-Norbert is based on the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). This method is using 15 degrees for Angle of the sun under the horizon (Fajr) and 15 degrees Angle of the sun under the horizon (Isha). Parts of the USA, Canada, Parts of the UK use this method.
The difference between Standard and Hanafi
The only difference is in the Asr prayer. The schools of Shafii, Hanbali, and Maliki use this method and Asr time starts when the shadow of an object is equivalent to its height. In the Hanafi method the Asr prayer time starts when the shadow of an object is twice its height. We use the standard method, so If your local mosque is using the Hanafi method you need to change this at the general prayer times page.
Latitude, Longitude and Time zone of Saint-Norbert
To calculate the prayer times for Saint-Norbert, we need to know the latitude, longitude and the local timezone of Saint-Norbert. We try to detect the longitude, latitude and timezone of your current city or town automatically. If you face any difference in prayer timings according to your current location then please confirm the latitude and longitude first at the general prayer times page. In addition, you can also find a GPS functionality at this page. You can also adjust other settings for the calculation for the prayer times of Saint-Norbert. But please be careful!
Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of setting the clocks forward one hour from standard time during the summer months (summer time), and back again in the fall (winter time), in order to make better use of natural strong daylight. The prayer times widget is adjusting the daylight savings automatically according to your location.
Are the Prayer Times in Saint-Norbert accurate?
We have explained above what calculation method is used to show the prayer times for Saint-Norbert. However, it is possible that your local mosque is using a different method. If this is the case then we recommend you to follow the prayer times of your local mosque. In addition, we would greatly appreciate it if you take the time to inform us by using the contact form about the differences so we can adjust the prayer times of Saint-Norbert.

The subject of batteries for field shooters used to be as simple as charging them until the red light went out, slapping them on the camera and shooting until they died. Now, the typical ENG/EFP crew carries a much wider array of battery-operated devices. Notebook computers, cell and satellite phones, PDAs, belt-clipped radios, micro-mixers and even GPS receivers may accompany camcorders and batt-lights. Modern field shooters must know their way around battery systems.
Modern batteries communicate digitally to chargers like the Anton-Bauer Dual 2702 Powerchager shown above while talking to the user through an LCD window.
Batteries are usually defined by the chemistry they use. The three most common types are nickel cadmium (NiCd), nickel metal hydride (NiMH), and lithium ion (Li-ion). Each has its strengths and weaknesses. We'll compare their performance later in the article. But first, let's define the specifications we use to judge them.
Regardless of the battery type involved, there are a few fundamental specifications that field crews will frequently encounter, including energy density, fast-charge time, self-discharge time, maintenance requirement and C-rate.
Energy density is a measure of how much power the battery will deliver for its weight, and is usually measured in watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg). This is one of the central factors in matching battery type to application.
Fast-charge time is another factor to consider. Usually measured as a fraction of the battery's rated capacity over time, this parameter has seen dramatic advances with the advent of battery-centric charging using smart batteries and chargers.
Another primary factor in matching batteries to their uses is a spec called "self-discharge time," usually measured as a percentage of capacity per month. This refers to the rate at which the fully charged battery will lose its charge while at rest. Self-discharge is an important parameter because this decline in voltage is not linear.
This photo shows the two most common camera battery mounts. The camera on the left has the Anton-Bauer Gold Mount. The other has the Sony V-mount.
Most battery types tend to lose a significant portion of their charge within the first 24 hours of storage, followed by a slower but steady discharge. Storage at higher-than-normal room temperatures will degrade internal resistance and accelerate self-discharge on any battery.
A significant specification is the maintenance requirement. This typically refers to how often an equalizing or topping charge should be applied. In the case of nickel-based batteries, the maintenance requirement will include "exercising" the battery by running it down to its end-of-discharge voltage and then fully recharging to combat the infamous memory effect in NiCd batteries.
The C-rate is a measurement of the charge and discharge current of the battery. A discharge of 1C will equal the published current capacity of the battery. A battery rated at 500 mAh (milliamp hours) will discharge at 1C to deliver that current for one hour. If discharged at 2C, the same battery should provide 1000 milliamps for a half hour. Note that the measurement is made from maximum capacity to the end-of-discharge level, not to 0V. On NiCds, for instance, the typical end-of-discharge level is 1V per cell. Li-ions generally discharge to 3V.
While there are many other battery specs, such as load current, cost-per-cycle, overcharge tolerance and cycle life, the specs mentioned above will form the basic stepping stones to a good battery-to-application match. Let's see how the various battery chemistries compare on these main specs.
Despite the emergence of new battery types, the nickel-cadmium or NiCd batteries maintain a prominent place in powering professional camcorders, batt-lights and portable comm radios. This is due to their exceptional performance in high-current applications. NiCds also accept fast charges quite well compared to the other battery chemistries. Typical fast-charge time on NiCd units is one hour, while NiMH batteries will fast-charge in two to four hours and deliver about one-fourth the load current.
Cameras have shrunk while lenses and batteries have kept their size and weight, allowing each to balance the other. Without rear-mount batteries, smaller cameras would be front-heavy, and on shoulder-mounted cameras, balance rather than weight is the critical factor.
NiCd batteries will self-discharge slightly faster than NiMH and much faster than Li-ion types. The big edge that the NiMH and Li-ion batteries have over NiCd is in energy density. In applications that require a high power-to-weight ratio, the Li-ion is the king of these beasts, with a typical spec of 100Wh/kg to 130Wh/kg. By comparison, NiMHs offer a power-to-weight ratio ranging from 60Wh/kg to 120Wh/kg, while NiCds range from 45Wh/kg to 80Wh/kg.
The Achilles heel of NiCd batteries is their maintenance requirement. They must be regularly exercised (some harried shooters might say exorcised) to avoid the formation of crystals inside the battery and the resulting tendency to discharge only as far as the minimum voltage level to which they have been frequently run. Also, since cadmium is an environmentally toxic metal, NiCd batteries are increasingly seen as a liability. Some countries now severely limit their use due to disposal problems.
Memory or mismatch?
Frequently, what appears to be a memory effect may be a mismatch between the cutoff voltage level of the device and that of the battery. To get the full capacity of the battery, its end-of-discharge voltage must be higher than the cutoff voltage for the camcorder or other device being powered. A mismatch in these values will cause the device to quit while the battery still has power. Mimicking the memory effect, this will cause a nickel-based battery to be repeatedly recharged before reaching its own end-of-discharge voltage and eventually develop a real memory.
Getting simpler again
The latest "smart" batteries, chargers and cameras can communicate digitally. The battery can control the smart charger for the perfect charge cycle and the cameras can display all the needed power parameters right in the viewfinder. Just when the mix of battery chemistries and their characteristics was becoming increasingly complex, the advent of digital communication between the central components promises to make things a good bit easier.

Well, from the research I've done so far, it appears that this new
dryer of mine is a gateway to the whole multilayered subject of
ferrotyping and glazing.
I'll sum up what I've found, mostly on the net, and boil down my
questions afterward. Corrections and illuminations will be greatly
I started out believing that when you had a fiber print dryer with a
heated chrome drum like this Prinz Jet I have, that the process of
drying the print with the emulsion against the drum was called
ferrotyping. It appears that's not quite the case.
[please insert "it appears to me that..." before all apparent statements
of perceived fact. I'm just omitting them to get on with it.]
Glossy paper prints were first desired by photojournalists because
press reproduction of the time demanded as smooth a surface as
possible in photographs. These days, those who desire high gloss
on their prints usually do so because it reduces the diffusion on
the surface of the print, giving more extreme dMax and dMin and
increasing the apparent dynamic range of the print. It also lends
a deep three-dimensional look to the print that might not be there
with the same image on a matte surface. The latter characteristics
are what I'm after.
Two terms, ferrotyping and glazing, appear to be at the center of
the craft of producing a high gloss on silver gelatin prints. As a
side note, there appears to be a cultural English/American
distinction between the terms wherein glazing is used in England to
refer to both ferrotyping and glazing, but whereas the two
procedures are named separately in the US.
Ferrotypes are also a synonym for tintypes, the earliest
US-originated photographic process whereby a sensitized metal plate
was exposed, processed, and polished to a high sheen. It's this
polishing of a plate that, I supposed, has migrated the term
ferrotype to this process of adding gloss to paper silver gelatin
prints. In ferrotyping, an enamel or metal plate is polished with
a wax-based polished to a high sheen. Prints are squeegeed on to
the plate. Gradually, the prints dry from the edges in to the
center, and once they finally dry, they pop off the plate. I get
the impression that ferrotyping is usually done at room
To avoid having to wax a plate, the successor to ferrotyping was
Glazing. In glazing, the polished wax is replaced by a hard-polished
chrome or similar surface and heat. To keep the emulsion from
cracking from uneven drying, prints are soaked in a solution of
gelatin and water to deter the speed with which water evaporates from
the emulsion as it acquires the gloss from the chrome plate or drum.
Extraordinary attention to detail is called for in keeping the chrome
clean and polished, a shortcoming of glazing being that you can't
just wax and polish your surface smooth. Another thing to watch
out for is that the cloth apron wicks up any impurity of
non-archivaly processed prints and could potentially contaminate
all prints done thereafter until you re-clean your apron.
As an aside, I've got a copy of The Photographer's Handbook, 3rd ed.,
by John Hedgecoe, and on page 60 it shows a nearly exact duplicate
of my dryer and calls it a rotary glazer, specifying that prints be
dried on it face up, against the heated drum.
Thanks to the reference from John Brewer, I've learned there's such
a thing as a glazing sheet, which could go between the print
emulsion and the drum. This might be a good alternative to forever
brasso-ing the chrome drum of my dryer.
That's what I've found out so far.
- I've read that heated drying (which I would presume includes
glazing) is contraindicated for toned prints, since it could have
unpredictable effects on the toner. Eventually, I'd like my
workflow to include solenenium toning followed by hot glazing.
Anyone have any comments on heated drying and/or glazing and
solenium-toned prints?
- Anyone using glazing sheets? What are they? Is there a cheap
alternative I can use that would be just as good, such as thick-ish
foil from a craft shop?
- I've heard that the gelatin and water solution is not archival and
promotes mold development in the dried print. Does this mean that
hot glazing is not suitable for archival intentions?
The adventure continues.

A Collateral Tax Sanction: When Does it Mimic a Welfare-Improving Tag?
This paper discusses an important component of the radio frequency identification (RFID) system, namely, the RFID-tag and the bending effect on its electrodynamic parameters. The RFID tag was modeled and the following parameters were calculated: Scattering Coefficients (parameter S11), Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), vertical and horizontal radiation patterns and total. The results of the work will allow optimizing the design of the RFID-tag in such a way as to achieve optimal quantitative indicators of electrodynamic parameters.
The systems genetic approach has been used for studying students' mental development. The ability development is considered in terms of intellectual operations acquistion. An aim of the study is to identify the components of the abilities which are consciously acquired by student in the learning process. The study desing is included the work to teach students the intellectual operations and use them at work with training materials, and the psychological testing of control and experimental student groups before and after training test to diagnose the level of intellectual development. The study was conducted with the teachers and students of primary and secondary school.
The importance of intellectual operations within the ability and intelligence structure is discussed in the article. The notion of 'intellectual operations' is overviewed by comparison of its meaning in works of different researchers. The author proposes the ability understanding on three levels: the level of individual, the activity subject level and the level of personality. It is reasoned that the intellectual operations and morality are the key factors that 'transfer' the ability development from one level to another. Consequently, it is stated that the psychic functions development is at the same time as a process of intelligence integration. The systematization of intellectual operations is suggested.
The article represents the materials devoted to the issue of ability development in comprehensive school. The results of subject qualities investigation as determinants of students' effective intellectual development in educational process are referred to in the article. The author propose the approach to interpretation of such psychological categories as 'subject' and 'subject's qualities' (subjectness). In the theoretical propositions review the approaches to subjectness particular model development that identify efficacy of various activities are described. The model of subjectness revealed at the students' abilities development and results of its (model) experimental examination are discussed in the present article. The work might be interesting both in theoretical and in a particular applied aspects. Its results are of high actuality for the pedagogical systems oriented to the most effective students' development.
The analysis of theoretical work on the psychology of activity by leading Russian psychologists has shown that the principle of the activity approach is deeply and comprehensively developed in Russian psychology and has reasonably acquired the status of a paradigm. Conceptual models of the activity approach can be successfully applied while setting exploratory programs and developing specific research designs. It can be reasonably argued that the activity approach has not only had a rich past, but it also has a successful present and future. This study reports on the general structure of the activity psychological functional system (APFS) that is close to the general structure of the physiological functional system suggested by P. K. Anokhin. However, the APFS in its components and the relationships between them is filled with a new content that is primarily determined by the human mind. The issue of the ability's place in an activity structure is addressed in this paper. Understanding activity from the standpoint of system genesis reveals the essence of human development processes and provides for understanding of the relationship between activity and development; it shows the place of abilities in the implementation of activities and enables the understanding of the development mechanism in abilities and activities. It is shown that abilities are mechanisms of activity realization, and that activity may be considered from the position of a system of abilities employed to accomplish it that undergoes permanent changes in regard to the composition and the extent of the constituents' interaction.

Ceph Grunt Commander units are a variations of Ceph Grunts that appear in Crysis 2.
Ceph Combat Command Units are very similar to the Stalker Commanders. Both have dark, red-colored flesh resembling jelly underneath their armored exoskeletons. The Grunt and Stalker Commanders also have red-colored shields that activate when the player's presence is discovered. Upon death, Ceph Grunt Commanders will drop 300 Nano Catalyst. They also have slightly different helmets, displaying their eyes more as slits rather than a standard grunts more circular eyes.
The main differences between Grunt and Stalker Commanders are that they command different units and wield different weapons. The Grunt Commanders are in control of a squad of Grunts and have a pulse rifle attached to their arm, as opposed to the blade of the Stalker Commanders. Once a battle starts, the Grunt Commander will activate its shield, which emits a red glow. Once enough damage is dealt to the Grunt Commander, its shield will dissipate and the Grunt Commander becomes as vulnerable as the Grunts that serve underneath them.

Ethiopia launching national youth volunteer service program
August 8,2018
The Ethiopian government is launching what is poised to become Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's flagship program of "trans-boundary volunteers."
With this program, youth volunteers are to serve outside of their respective ethnic-based Federal states, seemingly which is why it is named "trans-boundary", in the country.
1000 graduating students drawn from different parts of Ethiopia are taking part in the program which is commencing today. And volunteer youth are to get credit for their participation when they are looking for employment after graduation.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed met with the volunteers today before they are deployed to where they are assigned.
"When you serve the community as volunteers, you also need to learn and acquire knowledge as well," the prime minister told the volunteers. He meant to emphasize that there is knowledge in the community outside of university and other institutions of higher learning.
Apart from providing new graduates with relevant work experience, the motive of the program is to foster what the government describes as "people to people relation" and national feeling.
Ethiopia has a history of mobilizing youth for volunteer work in the community. Soon after the Ethiopian Revolution in 1974, Colonel Mengistu Hailemariam's government embarked on a nationwide illiteracy eradication program by deploying hundreds of thousands of youth in the countryside in different parts of the country to provide basic education. The program was successful so much so that illiteracy was significantly reduced in the country.
Although Abiy Ahmed's initiative in launching the program seems to be positive and perhaps a move in the right direction, especially if the program is given Ethiopian character as opposed to practices in the west, the political situation in the country could prove difficult to achieve the goals of the program.
This past week, for example, there has been an organized ethnic-based violence in Jijiga and other nearby towns, South Eastern parts of Ethiopia, where more than 29 people were killed and more than 10 churches were burned. Seen from that angle, it is questionable if it is the right time.

Live and in Color: Why Color Calibration is So Important in Medical Technology
In our article "What Role Does Color Play in Image Processing?" we already explained the role of color reproduction in machine vision. While monochrome images often suffice for industrial image processing, very different types of image information are used in Medical and Life Sciences, which is why color fidelity plays such an important role here.
In the areas of microscopy, dermatology and ophthalmology, digitally captured images are particularly effective aids in the diagnostic process. The color is often an important criterion to evaluate whether a structure is healthy or pathological.


lemen, judo is therefore a combat sport which, a priori, leaves fewer neurological after-effects than British boxing.
But because of the more frequent strangulations, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is more dangerous for the brain than judo and its long-term effects have not yet been studied.
So the immediate risk is not zero.
Every time we lose consciousness the long-term consequences for our health are real.
So you have to know your limits, respect your body, your sport and your opponent: sometimes you have to know how to lose with panache!
And if your playmate lacks panache: release the strangulation, when the mechanical obstacle is lifted the blood will return to the brain and unless you've held on too long, he should wake up on his own in less than 20 seconds.
Of course nothing prevents you from helping him with the good old recipe, you speed up the blood supply to the brain and thus its oxygenation by raising the feet, and also sprinkle it with a few strokes in the buttocks to season it… uh sorry, I meant to stimulate it!
What if it doesn't work? Check that he's still breathing and quickly call someone who has a first-aid certificate, and cross your fingers too, it can help.


FreeKB - PHP preg_split (split a string)
PHP - preg_split (split a string)
If you are not familiar with arrays, check out our Getting Started article.
The preg_split function will split a string into an array. For example, let's say you have a variable that contains fruit.
$fruit="apple banana orange pear";
When you echo $fruit, the following will be displayed.
apple banana orange pear
$fruit can be split into an array. In this example, values are split where there is white space [\s]+.
$array = preg_split('/[\s]+/', $fruit);
When you echo $array, just the word "Array" will be displayed.
This happens because each item in the array is now associated with a numeric identifier. In this example, the mapping between the items in the array is:
 - $array[0] = apple
 - $array[1] = banana
 - $array[2] = orange
 - $array[3] = pear
Echoing each item can be used to print each item in the array.
echo $array[0];
echo $array[1];
echo $array[2];
echo $array[3];
apple banana orange pear
Foreach loop
A foreach loop can be used to loop through the items in the array.
foreach ($array as $value) {
 echo $value;
The output of the foreach loop will be:
apple banana orange pear

illustrating Science Fiction.
Here's an Ancient Novel About Aliens, UFOs, and Robots Written in the 2nd Century
The man who introduced science fiction to society.
Nearly two millennia before Jules Verne and H. G. Wells started writing about science fiction, Lucian of Samosata, a Syrian satirist, and rhetorician, introduced the world to science fiction, envisioning a future where humankind would find alien life, take place in interplanetary warfare, and come to know artificial life among other things.
Lucian of Samosata is widely recognized as one of the earliest novelists in Western Civilization, and many scholars argue he is the father of science fiction.
Lucian, a Syrian writer who penned down his works in the Greek language, lived from the year 125 and covered various topics such as extraterrestrials, spaceships, and robots, two millennia before the novels of Jules Verne or G.H. Wells appeared.
He developed stories in the key of what today, two millennia later, we conceive as science-fiction.
The birth of science fiction
Lucian narrates the adventures of Lucian and his crew, all of who were cosmonauts, flying ships, television projections, talking machines, artificial intelligence, encounters with aliens, space battles, ufos, humanoids, as well as cities erected inside a living organism.

His work, "A True Story," is a fictional narrative in which he anticipated modern science fiction themes.
The work begins with Lucian and his fellow travelers journeying out past the Pillars of Heracles, after which they are blown off course due to a powerful storm.
They end up on an island that has a river of wine filled with fish and bears.
They don't remain long on the island and make their way when captured by a whirlwind, which ends up taking them on to the moon.
There, they find themselves in the middle of a war between the rulers of the moon and the sun, who are fighting a cosmic battle over the colonization of the 'Morning Star.'
Both armies are described as having bizarre forms of life, half mechanic, half biological.
The armies of the Sun eventually come out on top, after which a peace treaty is signed. In his work, Lucian details how life on Earth is different from that on Earth.
Eventually, Lucian and his fellow travelers are swallowed by a 200-mile-long whale as they return to Earth. Inside the creature's belly, they find a variety of fish people inhabiting its inside.
They wage war against the mysterious creatures and eventually kill the whale after starting a bonfire in its interior. Ultimately, the manage to open the whale's mouth and escape.
As they continue their voyage, they encounter a massive abyss in the ocean but manage to travel beside it. This leads them to discover a distant continent that they decide to explore.
The writing ends abruptly with Lucian stating that their future adventures will be described in the upcoming sequels, none of which were ever published.
Lucian's work also describes adventures and stories of incredible shipwrecks; He wrote about ships sailing through extraordinary worlds, like an island of dreams, or fantastically wandering through forests and landscapes in space.
Lucian is noted for being the first writer to separate reality from fiction, which was not very clear at that time.
It is noteworthy to mention that Lucian's book A True Story is also an early expression of the idea of traveling across the Atlantic Ocean and exploring the lands that are located on the other side.
This idea predates the journey of Columbus by around 1,400 years.

Identifying Yarns & Dyes to Tell Time
Knowing the history of material changes allows scholars to construct a timeline for southwestern textile types. Changes in yarns, fiber quality, and dyes occurred frequently during the 1800s. When these changes are considered together with a textile's designs and individual history, production dates can be estimated to create a more complete history of Navajo textiles.
Handspun yarns include single-spun strands of naturally colored, undyed sheep's wool as well as wool colored with vegetal or synthetic dyes. The earliest Navajo sheep had clean, lustrous wool, while breeds after the 1880s had curlier, greasier wool. Navajo spinners cleaned and aligned the wool fibers with their fingers or with wire-toothed combs, called carders, and twisted the wool together on hand spindles.
Raveled yarns came from bolts of imported fabrics that weavers cut into strips and unraveled, reweaving the yarns into blankets. Raveled yarns, often used in groups of two to six, appear to have small ridges or kinks and are sometimes speckled. Some researchers call these yarns bayeta, from the Spanish name for one type of cloth that was unraveled.
Commercial yarns, produced in textile mills and obtained through government annuities and trade, introduced new shades of red, orange, yellow, purple, blue, and green. Commercial yarns have a regularly ridged texture and solid coloring, and were plied, or twisted, from multiple spun strands of wool.
Red dyes can be chemically identified to help scholars interpret Navajo textile histories. From 1800 through the 1870s, insect dyes—cochineal from Mesoamerica and lac from India—colored many raveled and commercial red yarns. Beginning in the late 1860s, many red yarns contained synthetic dyes. Red dyes can be identified by several chemical tests, including spectrophotometry.

"Richtung" is a noun used in the prepositional meaning of a movement or view into a direction.
Unlike directional prepositions (nach etc.), it concentrates solely on the act of moving (viewing) and its special direction.
"Richtung" can be preceded by the prepositions "in" (with accusative, to name the destination of the movement) and "aus" (dative, to name the starting point of the movement) and
its article "die/der". It has to be followed by a name word, substantive or subordinate clause.
In the latter case, "Richtung" keeps its substantive character and must be preceded by its article.
If a substantive follows, the article of this can in some cases be omitted.
Some rules for the use of the preposition and article before "Richtung" and
the article before a following substantive.
1) If a name word or a substantive used in its general meaning follows, "Richtung" can only be preceded by "in/aus". "In" can be omitted.
Wir kamen aus Richtung München.
Er ging (in) Richtung Autobahn.
2) If the article (or a possesive pronoun) is used to point on a specific substantive, "Richtung"
must be preceded by "in/aus", and the article can be inserted. The following substantive has the genitive.
Wir liefen in (die) Richtung des Feuers.
3) if a subordinate clause follows, "Richtung" must be preceded by preposition and article.
Sie sah in die Richtung, aus der die Schreie kamen.
All verbs describing some movement/view of the acting subject or objects used by the subject can be used in connection with "Richtung", like
- gehen, laufen, wandern, kommen etc.
- blicken, schauen, sehen; zeigen
"Richtung" emphasizes the movement and its direction. It should not be used if end point of the movement should be integrated in the expression. In this case, "nach", "zu", "in" or other prepositions are the right choice.
Let me know if I should add/clarify things. Please criticize if something is incorrect.

Let the Dead Bury Their Own Dead
This week I have a question from a reader on a passage from the Gospels:
I have always been puzzled by the passage in the Gospel where the man wants to follow Jesus but asks permission to go and bury his father first. Jesus tells him, "Let the dead bury the dead; you follow me." Why would Jesus object to the man burying his father, since honoring one's parents is part of the Ten Commandments and burying the dead is a corporal work of mercy?
Of course, our Lord would not be counseling a course of action that violated one of the Ten Commandments or made light of the corporal works of mercy. Therefore, that interpretation of the passage must be based on a misunderstanding. What is our Lord really getting at?
First let's examine the passage. The reference is to an episode related in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. The passage from Matthew reads:
In the version from Luke is very similar:
I have read a lot on this passage over the years, and it would be too exhaustive to delve into the lengthy amount of patristic and other commentary that has been written on it. However, I can say that there are three main theories concerning the meaning of this passage, most differences having to do with what the phrase "first let me go and bury my father" means. I will present each theory and then offer my opinion of them.
First theory: the man literally has a dead father sitting at home in need of burial. Jesus objects not because it is bad thing to bury the dead, but because He senses insincerity in the motives of the man; Jesus asks him to follow Him. The man does not want to repent and follow Christ and offers this as an excuse. Jesus, knowing the man's hearts and thoughts, urges him to leave behind his concern for worldly matters and devote his life to God. This interpretation is favored by many of the Church Fathers.
Second, the phrase "let me go and bury my father" does not literally mean, "My dad's corpse is sitting at home waiting to be buried," but is rather an Aramaic figure of speech which means "My father is old and will die soon. Once my father is dead, I will be freed of my earthly obligations and then I will follow you." So in this interpretation, the father is not really dead, just old. The phrase "bury my father" is a euphemism, similar to the phrase "I will go lie with my fathers", which means "I'm gonna die." The man essentially tells Jesus, "I am taking care of my elderly father but he will be dead in the near future and I will follow you then." Jesus admonishes him that the Gospel is not something that takes a back seat until the most opportune time. Today is the day of salvation, as St. Paul says (2 Cor. 6:2). Incidentally, this was the interpretation favored by famous 20th century Syriac scholar George Lamsa.
Third possibility: the issue revolves around the Jewish practice of "second burial" common in Palestine in Jesus' time. In Jesus' time, after a Jewish person had died, he would be immediately interred in the family burial cave or plot. The immediate period of mourning was seven days (shi'va), followed by a less intense mourning period of 30 days, called shloshim. However, the mourning period was not totally concluded until all the flesh had rotted off the body. This process usually took a year. At that time, the bones would be gathered and re-internment, or "second burial" (likkut aẓamot) would take place. The bones would be gathered together, placed in an ossuary (small chest-like container) and re-interred.
If the phrase "let me first go and bury my father" refers to this custom, then the man is asking Jesus for time to wait for the year-long likkut azamot mourning period to end so he can re-inter his father. Jesus essentially tells him, "You have already buried your father in the family tomb and honored him. There are others who can see to technicality of the re-internment."
I think each of these theories has merits and problems. The first theory is favored by the Fathers and admirably explains Jesus' objection, but leaves us with the unsatisfying implication that Jesus does straight up just tell the guy to not bury his dead father. I would only take like, what, a few hours? Jesus can't give the guy a few hours to bury his dad?
Also, in this interpretation, when Jesus says "Let the dead bury their own dead", He is distinguishing between two kinds of dead, essentially saying "Let the (spiritually) dead bury the (physically) dead." But this seems to not make sense in light of the text: "Let the dead bury their own dead." The clause "their own" means that the first and second dead are of the same group; if I were to say, "Let the Canadians bury their own dead", it means the Canadians are burying other Canadians. The grammar of the sentence really does not leave much room to imply there are two kinds of dead. I have never really been satisfied with this explanation, and though it is favored by the Fathers I have read about, it's not universal.
The second explanation, favored by Syrian scholar George Lamsa, is interesting. It makes sense once we see it in light of other similar euphemisms (such as "to lay with one's fathers"). It also makes Jesus' response a lot more understandable; He is not telling the man not to bury his dead father, but essentially to not let family obligations deter him from following Christ. Let others see to the care of your father. You want to wait until your father dies; how long could that be? Nobody knows. If you postpone following God until your earthly circumstances are all aligned, you will never make a start of it.
Against this theory is the fact that, if the father is not literally dead, it becomes incomprehensible what Jesus means when he says "let the dead bury their own dead" since nobody is actually dead. Also, while this theory is plausible linguistically, there are no other biblical examples of "to bury the dead" or "bury one's father" being used exactly in this manner, even if we can find parallel examples from Syriac, Aramaic, and other cultures. Finally, George Lamsa, though very famous, is not a reputable scholar from a Catholic perspective. Setting aside the fact that he is a Nestorian and favors Modernist interpretations of certain biblical passages, other Syriac scholars fault his translation work for fundamentally confusing Syriac and Aramaic. I personally favored this view for a long time, but I'm definitely not sure about it anymore.
The third view has the benefit of taking into account Jewish burial customs has practiced in Jesus' own day. It makes sense of Jesus' objection; I noted above Jesus' objection doesn't make a lot of sense if the man is only asking for a few hours. But if the passage is referring to second burial, he could be asking for as much as 12 months leave, in which case it makes a lot more sense why Christ would object. The father is already buried in the family tomb with the remains of all the other family members; when Jesus says, "Let the dead bury their own dead," he's essentially making a joke, saying, "Your dad's bones aren't going anywhere. They are safe in the family tomb with all your other ancestors. I'm sure they'll keep him company"; in other words, "Let the dead (your other ancestors in the family tomb) take care of your father's bones until someone else in the family shows up to bury them." I think I currently favor this view, but I've only adopted it recently and need to think on it some more.
Regardless of which view you adopt, the moral is the same: If you have resolved to follow Jesus, then follow Jesus. Follow Him with pure motives. Follow Him today, while you still have fire in your eyes and air in your lungs. Don't say, "I'm too busy to attend to my salvation; I'll figure it out after my circumstances change." Don't pledge to follow Him with your lips while making up excuses. Follow Him, follow Him now, and follow Him sincerely. Your worldly affairs will get worked out. "Sufficient for the day is its own trouble" (Matt. 6:34).
If you enjoyed this article, I have a book called The Book of Non-Contradiction which deals with difficult biblical passages. It's an excellent work for people wanting to affirm the inerrancy of Scripture while understanding some of it seeming incongruities.

"Clerical Abuse? Yes, but the Church is also Huuuuman"
Many Catholics have noticed the grimly providential appropriateness of the Old Testament readings in last week's Novus Ordo relevant to the current wave of abuse scandals plaguing the Church:
The problem is a problem with the shepherds, pure and simple.
And yet, I have noticed that some good-intentioned priests and apologists are trying to put a positive spin on this by appealing to the Catholic Church's human side. I've heard this in a few talks and homilies and the specifics may vary, but it goes something like this:
"Yes this scandal is bad. Very bad. But hey, we can't get too disheartened. After all, the Catholic Church is a Church

Definition: – Synchronizing Power is defined as the varying of the synchronous power P with respect to vary in the load angle δ. It is also called Stiffness of Coupling, Stability or Rigidity factor. It is represented as Psyn.A synchronous machine, whether a generator or a motor, when synchronized to infinite Busbars has an inherent tendency to remain in Synchronism.
Consider a synchronous generator transferring a steady power Pa at a steady load angle δ0. Suppose that, due to a transient disturbance, the rotor of the generator accelerates, resulting an increase in the load angle by dδ.
The operating point of the machine shifts to a new constant power line and the load on the machine increases to Pa + δP. The steady power input of the machine does not change, and the additional load which is added decreases the speed of the machine and brings it back to synchronism.
Similarly, if due to a transient disturbance, the rotor of the machine retards resulting a decrease in the load angle. The operating point of the machine shifts to a new constant power line and the load on the machine decreases to (Pa – δP). Since the input remains unchanged, the reduction in load accelerates the rotor. The machine again comes in synchronism.
The effectiveness of this correcting action depends on the change in power transfer for a given change in load angle. The measure of effectiveness is given by Synchronizing Power Coefficient.
Power output per phase of the cylindrical rotor generator
The synchronizing torque coefficient
In many synchronous machines Xs>> R. Therefore, for a cylindrical rotor machine, neglecting saturation and stator resistance equation (3) and (5) becomes
For a salient pole machine
Unit of Synchronizing Power Coefficient Psyn
The synchronizing Power Coefficient is expressed in watts per electrical radian.
Since, π radians = 180⁰
1 radian = 180/π degrees
If P is the total number of pair of poles of the machine.
Synchronizing Power Coefficient per mechanical radian is given by the equation shown below.
Synchronizing Power Coefficient per mechanical degree is given as
Synchronizing Torque Coefficient
Synchronizing Torque Coefficient gives rise to the synchronizing torque coefficient at synchronous speed. That is, the Synchronizing Torque is the torque which at synchronous speed gives the synchronizing power. If Ʈsyn is the synchronizing torque coefficient than the equation is given as shown below.
- m is the number of phases of the machine
- ωs = 2 π ns
- ns is the synchronous speed in revolution per second
Significance of Synchronous Power Coefficient
The Synchronous Power Coefficient Psyn is the measure of the stiffness between the rotor and the stator coupling. A large value of Psyn indicates that the coupling is stiff or rigid. Too rigid a coupling means and the machine will be subjected to shock, with the change of load or supply. These shocks may damage the rotor or the windings. We have,
The above two equations (17) and (18) show that Psyn is inversely proportional to the synchronous reactance. A machine with large air gaps have relatively small reactance. The synchronous machine with the larger air gap is stiffer than a machine with a smaller air gap. Since Psyn is directly proportional to Ef, an overexcited machine is stiffer than an under excited machine.
The restoring action is great when δ = 0, that is at no load. When the value of δ = ± 90⁰ the restoring action is zero. At this condition the machine is in unstable equilibrium and at steady state limit of stability. Therefore, it is impossible to run a machine at the steady state limit od stability since its ability to resist small changes is zero unless the machine provided with special fast acting excitation system.

Student Centered Learning – Thailand
A Centre for Education Reform in Thailand
Lesson Planning
Stan Chu is on the far left
Lesson planning that involves everyone as learners using the immediate environment
Student Centered Learning—Science Right Outside
By Stan Chu, Bank Street College of Education, New York City.
Here is a description of an exploration of animals found within the grounds of the Rato Bangala School (RBS) in Kathmandu, Nepal and done by 28 teachers of grades one through five as part of a two-week intensive in-service teacher training program I led August 6-15, 2012. This was a continuation of a 20 year collaboration between the RBS and the Bank Street College of Education, New York City.
Direct Experience
This work with classroom teachers having direct experiences with real materials is in keeping with the belief that teachers need to experience learning in the same ways children raise questions and gather evidence from first hand encounters with the physical world. In addition, learners must create ways to represent their understandings in order to form mental models.
Using the immediate environment to explore and teach
For this session, I collaborated with Basante Yadav, an experienced Nepali science teacher at the RBS in facilitating an exploration of animals found along the edges of the school's grassy football field. Teachers were given small trays and hand tools to dig into the soil. The goal was to find any animals, living or dead, that caught the interests of teachers, and that raised questions that could be answered in the context of available time, materials, and previous understandings.
Teachers formed themselves into groups of four, and walked to the school football field a few minutes away. They spent about 15 minutes overturning fallen branches and rocks, and digging in the soil. The teachers were helped to take particular notice of physical settings where they found their animals. Was the soil moist or dry? Was the area in the shade or direct sunlight? Were the animals on leaves, soil, or underground?
Experiential learning
The animals were taken back to the workshop classroom. Each group had magnifying glasses to help them notice details of the body of their animal. They then created an enlarged drawing on clear plastic with a fine tipped black marker.
Participatory learning
Group then took turns projecting their drawings using an overhead projector. Each group member said something about the animal or the conditions in which it was found. This reporting-out included sharing questions group members had about their animal, and what they might do to try to answer these questions.
Small environments were then created similar to the physical conditions from which the live animals were found along the football field. This close duplication of living conditions maximized chances for the animals to remain alive, and fostered the idea that living organisms need to be respected and cared for by learners.
During the following days, teachers devised ways to try to answer questions they had about the animals. Could the animal see? Could it hear? What does it eat? Should the soil be moist or dry? Does it like shade or direct sun?
The teacher's role in student centered learning
An aspect of student-centered learning involves questions learners themselves generate from direct experiences. The teacher has a number of roles, including scaffolding questions of students when needed in order to make the initial questions more accessible to answering, and anticipating sufficient time and tools that help learners pursue their own questions.
Exploring the World
Young Children Investigate Eating Places and Greenmarkets
By Stan Chu, Bank Street College of Education, New York City ( March 26, 2012
Children are continually trying to make sense of the world around them. They do this best by direct, active engagement with the physical world of people and places that have meaning to them. At Bank Street College, we call this social studies.
Six year olds can investigate nearby eating places. The focus on eating places is appropriate when there are a variety of businesses selling prepared food in the here-and-now lives of six year olds. In some neighborhoods, there may be many different places to purchase food: fast food, sit down restaurants, and food carts.
The Big Idea:
Six year olds will come away with the understanding that eating places are organized, and in different ways. Children find out what it means to be a customer when going into a fast food store, compared to being a customer in a sit-down restaurant. In addition, there are different jobs that people have who work in eating places.
An Investigation:
Teachers arrange with a fast food business to bring a small group of six year olds to observe what it means to be a customer. Children see that what is offered for sale is written on the wall of the store, along with some pictures of the food. The customers line up, get to the worker who takes their order. The customer pays, and then waits until the food is handed to them. There may be tables and chairs to eat the food, or the food might have to be taken away. Children also notice the variety of jobs workers have in the fast food business: cashier, cook, cleaner, manager.
Children not only see the work that is being done, but also realize the skill and effort involved in doing these jobs.
Recreating the Experience:
Back in the classroom children discuss what they have seen. There is a way to be a customer. There are different jobs they have seen workers do.
Children then recreate their own versions of a fast food eating place. Their recreations are based on what they have seen themselves in the real fast food setting. "We need a sign so people know what foods they can buy." "How will we make a cashier register for the money?" "Will we have chairs for them to eat their food?" "What jobs do we need?" "Who is going to do which jobs?" This recreation by children of the outside world is at the core of making meaning from direct experiences.
At the Bank Street School for Children in New York City (, six year olds walk by outdoor food markets run by farmers who bring their produce into the city every day.
The Big Idea:
A greenmarket is organized in specific ways. People make decisions of what to sell based on what grows at different times of the year and what they believe customers want to buy. Farmers must decide how much to sell their produce for in order to make a profit. There are specific jobs adults have that are connected to food at the greenmarket: farmers grow and harvest the food, people drive produce into the city each day, and workers sell the produce at the market. Sometimes, a person does many different jobs.
An Investigation:
Children visit greenmarkets, talk with farmers, and go to the wholesale produce area of the city. They interview adults and other children within the school to find out what produce is the most popular in order to decide what to buy and sale.
Recreating the Experience:
Children use information they have gotten from interviewing in order to decide what to buy when they go in the early morning to the wholesale produce area of the city. Along with their teachers, six year olds buy produce they think others will want to purchase.
Children then decide on how their own greenmarket will be organized in the lobby of the school. "How much should we sale the bananas for?" "We need a sign so customers will know how much each thing cost." "Who will collect the money?" "What should we do with the money afterwards?" "What do we do with the food that we don't sell?"
Both the Eating Places and the greenmarket investigations are examples of six year olds going out into the world and finding out about people and places that have meaning to them
"Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve." Roger LewinEllen Cornish and Don Jordon present extremely useful guidelines for creating student-centered lesson plans. We will present them as a series of articles that we encourage everyone to read and discuss:

Job Demands-Resources Theory and Experience Sampling
24 June 2019
Begin time:
CITEC 1.204
JD-R theory is a theory about the causes of employee well-being and behaviors that can be used to predict a wide range of organizational outcomes.
Accordingly, employees are confronted with and proactively modify various job demands and resources, which consequently impact job strain and work engagement, and have an indirect effect on creativity, performance, etc.
In this presentation, I will discuss the basic propositions of JD-R theory, and discuss the available evidence.
The focus will particularly be on daily diary and experience sampling studies, to illustrate how mobile devices and technology can be used to study employees during work, while they are confronted with various external demands and resources.
Everyone is invited to join the talk.


weird annualized rule about return?
Discussion in 'Strategy Development' started by yoyo2000, Oct 3, 2005.
 1. yoyo2000
 I met a weird annualized rule:
 as usual,in order to annualize a monthly return,one should multiplies this monthly return with square root of 12,but when a guy compounds his capital,this rule become weird:
 Suppose a system's monthly return is 100%,so his yearly return should be (100%+1)^12-1= 4095% with compounding his capital,but in square root of 12 rule,his year return is 100%*square root(12) = 346%,the difference is so huge!
 what's wrong?
 2. acrary
 You multiply by the square root of 12 to annualize the monthly standard deviation, not the return.
 3. You are not quite correct in that a 100% monthly return results in an annualized return of 409,500% if compounded monthly. Your formula is correct:
 (1+1.00)^12-1=4,095. However, you forgot to multiply the result by 100 in order to present the annualized return in percentage terms.
 Anyone who disagrees can prove it to himself by doing it by hand by simply doubling the starting capital 12 times. It only takes a moment or two. Starting with capital of only $1,000 at the beginning fo the first month you will reach $4,096,000 at the end of the year. Subtract from the total the original $1,000 capital base, and you have a net profit of $4,095,000 which is an annualized return of 409,500%
 As for the second part of your post, it also works backwards, remembering to present the percentage return in decimal terms in the equation (dividing by 100):
 (4,095+1)^(1/12)-1=1.00. This 1.00 represents the 100% monthly return (in decimal terms), and is the geometric mean rather than the arithmetic mean. You must use the geometric mean to account for the monthly compounding effect. This is a simple time value of money calculation.
 Please confirm the validity of my calculations since it has been 21 years since I completed my MBA and I have never encountered scenarios with such astronomical returns in my previous life as a banker. Those decimal points can get lost in such lofty numbers, eh?
 As an aside, this is why I think that people who claim to be able to double their money on a monthly basis are well and truly quite full of shit.
 4. It depends on what they mean. If they are pulling the original amount out every month, then it is absolutely possible. But compounding at 100% may not be a likely scenario; although anything is possible.
 5. There is a wide chasm between possible and even remotely likely. Why would someone want to take out his money when it can earn so much so quickly in his trading account? Living expenses?! Of course, the markets will not allow such a trading god to compound to the moon because of liquidity constraints and all the other usual reasons, but why not take it to the limit of what the markets and his method can tolerate? There are a number trading billionaires whose returns never came even remotely close to those kinds of monthly returns. So why is the guy who makes 100% a month not among them? Why would he need to pull out the original amount every month and prevent himself from owning the world in just a few short years?
 Since even the greatest trading legends have never consistently made 100% monthly returns, I think I will stick to my guns and confidently assume that such poseurs on ET and elsewhere are well and truly quite full of shit.
 6. Since ES is doing very little at the moment (and I'm bored), let us explore the matter a bit further. Let me present a gross exaggeration first to make a point, and then a relatively more "plausible" scenario.
 First the outrageous scenario. Consider a chess board, which has 64 squares. Imagine that you place a single penny on the first square (the corner of your choice). If you then subsequently double the amount of the preceding square, by the time you reach the 64th square you will have theoretically achieved more wealth than all the wealth of this world. In dollar terms, the last square will have a value of $1.84467 x 10^17. I believe this is in the quadrillions (which come after trillions). If each square were to represent one month, then the theoretical wealth will have been achieved in just over 5 years.
 Of course, this example is patently absurd. Therefore, let us pare it down to more "reasonable" levels based on your assertion that it is "absolutely possible" to consistently make 100% monthly returns. You are not comfortable with the idea of monthly compounding, presumably for the reasons I mentioned in my prior post (liquidity, etc.). Therefore, let us consider the possibility that he does reinvest all his winnings and seeks to expand the markets he trades in to overcome liquidity issues. He can do so by expanding to international markets and by hiring other traders to trade his method. Even so, the growing size of his account will likely degrade his method and his strategy will no longer be able to achieve 100% monthly returns because he is reinvesting (compounding). Therefore, let us assume that he is only able to achieve a quarter of his earlier performance, a "mere" 25% monthly return when reinvested. This would mean that if he were to start with only $10,000, he would have net profits before overheads of almost $16 Billion after only 64 months. Not bad if you can get it. Just as a matter of interest, if he could "only" achieve a monthly return of 20% (which is reinvested), he would have profits before overheads of over $1.1 Billion. A 30% reinvested return would yield profits before overhead of over $196 Billion. You choose.
 So, my question to you is this: where are all these traders who are able to make 100% monthly returns and why are they not reinvesting, regardless of the degradation of their methods? Presumably, if they only applied themselves they could displace the Soros, PTJs, Cohens, and all the other legends of the trading world in a matter of a few years. Even those guys never even dreamed of consistent 100% monthly returns and look where they are.
 Therefore, I will continue to abide by the conclusions of my 2 earlier posts: BS.
 7. yoyo2000
 Well,100% return per month just an example to magnify the effect of calculation.
 8. Never heard of using square roots to annualize return.
 Returns expand geometrically with time.
 Volatility, however, expand geometrically with the square root of time.
 9. yoyo2000
 it's very weird,I saw that there are 7 reply to my post from list,but when I enter,I couldn't find only 3,how can I see other 4 reply,please?

Trinidad Head Baseline Observatory Battered by Winter StormJanuary 26, 2006
The NOAA Trinidad Head Baseline Atmospheric Observatory located on the Northern California coastline (41.05 N, 124.15 W), and one of the five NOAA Global Baseline Atmospheric Observatories, was shut down for 3 days due to regional power outages produced by a severe winter storm that battered the California and Oregon coasts earlier this month. Wind speeds of 97 mph (42 m s-1) produced waves of 25 ft (8 m) and uprooted three large 150 year old Monterey Cypress trees located near the observatory, one of which moderately damaged the roof of the ozonesonde balloon launch facility. Nevertheless, the observatory was up and running within hours of power restoration.
The Trinidad Head Observatory, established in the spring of 2002, provides continuous measurements of atmospheric pollutants and climate forcing agents entering the West Coast of the U.S. from Asia. In addition to its long term monitoring mission, the facility has hosted or supported a number of large intensive studies including the NOAA 2002 Intercontinental Transport and Chemical Transformation (ITCT) campaign, the 2004 Intex Ozone Network Study (IONS) and the 2005 Altair Integrated System Flight Demonstration Project. In addition to the normal complement of baseline observatory instruments, the observatory presently supports, or has supported in the past, instruments NOAA/CSD, NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), UC-Berkeley, UC-Davis, UC-San Diego, Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE), operated since 1995 by SIO, is also located on Trinidad Head.
The Trinidad Head Observatory suffered only minimal damage in a severe 50-year storm, and was back in operation within hours of the resumption of power. This same storm produced significant loss of standing timber including up to 70% loss of trees just north of the observatory, presumably due to a reported funnel cloud. Funnel clouds are a very unusual phenomenon for the West Coast. The extreme wind event was the result of intense pressure gradients associated with the formation of a bent back occluded front, itself a relatively rare event on the California Coast.
To see views of the observatory, tree damage, and surfers riding huge waves coming ashore near Half Moon Bay, following the storm go to the link below and view the images in the photo gallery at the bottom of the page.


concept of gross margin and contribution margins d2
The concepts of gross margin and contribution margins are two important measures companies can use to determine how well they are faring in terms of profit-making. While gross margin is simply revenue less the total cost of the goods sold, contribution margin is revenue, less variable costs. According to Datar and Rajan (2018),
â€œthe gross margin measures how much a company can charge for its products over and above the cost of acquiring or producing them. Companies, such as brand-name pharmaceuticals producers, have high gross margins because their products are often patented and provide unique and distinctive benefits to consumers. In contrast, manufacturers of generic medicines and basic chemicals have low gross margins because the market for these products is highly competitive. Contribution margin indicates how much of a company's revenues are available to cover fixed costs. It helps in assessing the risk of losses. For example, the risk of loss is low if the contribution margin exceeds a companyâ€™s fixed costs even when sales are low. Gross margin and contribution margin are related but gives different insights. For example, a company operating in a competitive market with a low gross margin will have a low risk of loss if its fixed costs are small.â€
What other insights or observations do you have with regard to gross margin and contribution margin? Do those insights change depending on the industry sector being considered; if so, why?
Your document should be 350-500 words.

You may think that choosing environmentally friendly building materials can come with many sacrifices. Sure, a material can be environmentally friendly, but you are likely wondering if it actually works well as an insulator. Luckily for you, this is possible. Here are two insulating materials that are both environmentally friendly and effective.
1. Straw Bales
This material may sound less modern than others. However, straw still has a lot of advantages that make it able to compete well with the modern counterparts used by home remodeling contractors St Louis MO. For starters, it has an insulation value that is comparable to fiberglass. In addition to this, straw bale insulation has the ability to capture CO2 emissions while other construction materials do not. Straw is also a waste material that is not very useful in other applications and, when the building is ready for demolition, is biodegradable. However, buildings made with straw insulation can last close to decades due to straw's durability.
2. Plant-Based Polyurethane Foam
Plant-based polyurethane foam was created when it was discovered that its predecessor, rigid foam, contained ozone-depleting chemicals known as chlorofluorocarbons. The plant materials that usually make it (bamboo, hemp, and kelp) are, in addition to being plentiful and fast-growing, biodegradable. As well, it doesn't need to sacrifice certain insulating abilities to be environmentally friendly. It lessens noise and is resistant to moisture and mold. It also performs well in keeping a home warm in winter and cool in summer.
You don't have to sacrifice much in the way of insulation efficiency when you want to make your home environmentally friendly. Also, remember that these are also just a few examples of materials that have these two qualities. If you take the time to look up all kinds of materials and weigh their pros and cons, you are sure to find something that suits your purposes.


Alcohol formation [HO(–)]
Alcohol formation (HO‾) Definition:
Alkyl halides (or tosylates) will react with hydroxides ions to give alcohols. This is an SN2 reaction.
Alcohol formation (HO‾) Explained:
In this reaction, as in any SN2 reaction, we have a substrate (butyl bromide), a leaving group (bromide), and a nucleophile (hydroxide ion). If you have NaOH, the reagent in that reaction is actually a hydroxide ion (HO‾). Nais the counter-ion and its role in the reaction does not concern us in most cases.
