ConnectWise SLA Implementation
## How to use Connectwise SLA Statuses
ConnectWise SLA questions are one of the most frequently asked questions by our customer base. In order to help address the questions we have put together this slide deck and video to walk you through how the SLA statuses are set up and impact your SLA reporting. The video will walk you through topics like
- Where SLAs are set up within ConnectWise
- SLA Status Definitions
- Sample Ticket & SLA Flow Process
- How A Two Step Ticket Close Impacts SLA
- BrightGauge Sample Visuals

## **Deeper Dive into how ConnectWise implements the SLA numbers in the actual database.**
In April of 2014 we had some issues calculating the SLA time statuses for ConnectWise customers. After some troubleshooting and playing some ping pong between our support staff and that of ConnectWise, we finally got to an understanding of how things worked, implemented an update on our end, and then pushed it out to everyone. We then took a look at what was happening and then decided we should relay it to our customers so that anyone designing their own SQL datasets off this data is not as confused as we once were. Below you will find a summary of some information which you can find at ConnectWise university here:
When you create SLA statuses in ConnectWise you have the following options:
1. Response
2. Plan
3. Resolve
4. Waiting
You can set various ticket statuses to correspond to each SLA status, but they boil down to these four. Unfortunately when looking in the SQL database, ConnectWise stores numbers in the following ways:
1. Responded\_Minutes
2. Resplan\_Minutes
3. Resolved\_Minutes
4. Waiting\_Minutes
5. Minutes\_Before\_Waiting
6. Responded\_Skipped\_Minutes
7. Resplan\_Skipped\_Minutes
The first four fields seem reasonable enough, but in reality they're not so straight forward.
When a technician works on a ticket, ConnectWise expects a ticket to go from Response -> Plan -> Resolve. You cannot go backwards and more importantly, skipping a status has implications. When you skip the response and/or planning phase, the time value for the phase you start with then gets applied to the skipped statuses as skipped minutes and the actual minutes get a value of 0. This of course is only in the database, on the front end ConnectWise just shows you the values summed up. Take a look at the following animation to help get a grasp on what is happening:
As a result, you would need to do some math to match the values from the database with the views in ConnectWise. Here's an animation to explain the math:
For our default datasets, we have already implemented the mathematical changes required to match what our customer see in their ConnectWise views. For those that wish to see the old values, they're still there, it would just require an easy SQL query. The old values could be really helpful, for example looking to get values for the average time to get from plan to resolve.
Minutes Waiting and Minutes Before Waiting
These two values are something else entirely. Minutes Waiting is a value you will only see if you have it set up in the SLA statuses and Minute Before Waiting is a value you should never see when looking at a completed ticket. This is because Minutes Before Waiting is a temporary status that exists when you set one status, spend some time in limbo and then set the ticket to Waiting. Those minutes between the first status and the Waiting status are then assigned to Minutes Before Waiting, however whenever you apply the next non-waiting status, then that status takes the Minutes Before Waiting value and Minutes Before Waiting is set to 0. Confused? So were we, so here's an animation to hopefully help:
Got a grasp on it all? Great! Amazing! Still lost? You're normal. It took us some time to understand it and we'll be more than willing to help you at BrightGauge Support.
Code Summary:
Responded Minutes = Responded\_Minutes + Responded\_Skipped\_Minutes
Plan Minutes = Resplan\_minutes+ Resplan\_Skipped\_Minutes + Responded\_Minutes
Resolved Minutes = Resolved\_Minutes + Resplan\_Minutes + Responded\_Minutes

The Littleleaf Palo Verde, also called the Foothills Palo Verde, is a small native tree to the Tucson area. Like other Palo verdes, the green bark allows the tree to conduct photosynthesis even when the tree is leafless. Most desert native trees are both drought and cold deciduous, conserving both water and energy.
Use the Littleleaf Palo Verde in desert landscaping as either a tree, or if not pruned, a large shrub. This is a slow growing tree, but will pick up the pace if you provide it supplemental water, especially during the hot months.
Littleleaf Palo Verde and the Sahuaro are considered "indicator" plants, as when growing in a natural environment it usually "indicates" that citrus will grow well there too. This is not a fail-safe assumption, since the hard freeze of 2010 hit citrus trees hard no matter where they were planted.

The rare greenback cutthroat trout, Colorado's state fish, is even more imperiled than scientists thought, a new study suggests. By analyzing DNA sampled from cutthroat trout specimens pickled in ethanol for 150 years, comparing it with the genes of today's cutthroat populations, and cross-referencing more than 40,000 historic stocking records, researchers in Colorado and Australia have revealed that the fish survives not in five wild populations, but just one.
Stocking records and the tangled genetic patchwork of trout in the southern Rocky Mountain region suggest that efforts to replenish populations were far more extensive and began earlier than previously recognized. Between 1885 and 1953, state and federal agencies stocked more than 750 million brook trout, rainbow trout and cutthroat trout from hatcheries into streams and lakes in Colorado, the researchers found.
The study, published on Monday in the peer-reviewed journal Molecular Ecology as a follow-up to a 2007 study led by the same biologist, Jessica Metcalf, yielded some findings that "may be uncomfortable," Kevin Rogers, a researcher for Colorado's state parks authority, said in a call with reporters.
Doug Krieger, senior aquatic biologist for the same agency, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, predicted that the study would shift the direction of conservation efforts.
A shift in the scientific landscape is not an entirely new experience for fish managers working with the cutthroat trout in the region. The 2007 study shook the very foundations of cutthroat trout recovery efforts, showing that managers had accidentally mixed a different subspecies of cutthroat trout, the Colorado cutthroat, with the rare greenback, and then stocked these hybrid strains into otherwise pure greenback streams.
The latest study, whose co-authors also include the biologist Chris Kennedy of the Fish and Wildlife Service and scientists with the University of Adelaide's Australian Center for Ancient DNA and the University of Colorado, Boulder, shows that the last surviving greenback population lies within a four-mile stretch of a small alpine stream known as Bear Creek. The stream is about five miles southwest of Colorado Springs, on the eastern slope of Pikes Peak.
Located outside the greenback's native range, this holdout population is probably descended from fish stocked at the Bear Creek headwaters in the 1880's by a hotelier seeking to promote a tourist route up Pikes Peak, the researchers say.
To map out the historic distribution and range of a species whose taxonomic record is, to quote the latest study, "rife with errors," Dr. Metcalf sampled skin, gill, muscle and bone from trout specimens collected in Colorado and New Mexico from 1857 to 1889, before the state and federal efforts to propagate and stock native trout were ramped up.
Now housed in museums including the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and the California Academy of Sciences, the specimens were preserved in ethanol. "The DNA was very degraded, and there wasn't very much of it," Dr. Metcalf said. "So this took a lot of effort and repeated sequencing for each specimen."
Still, ethanol preservation opened a window to the past. "After the 1900's, a lot of things were fixed in formalin, which keeps them looking the way they were when they were collected," Dr. Metcalf said. "Before that, things were just straight up pickled" in ethanol."
The problem for latter-day genetic sleuths is that formalin actually binds with DNA, making the latter impossible to recover. It's not always obvious what chemicals were used for a given specimen, but the fact that some fish appeared partially decayed was a good sign these trout were preserved the old-fashioned way (in ethanol only), leaving fragments of DNA intact.
"The DNA I get out of 15,000-year-old, extremely degraded animals from Patagonia is in better shape than these ethanol-preserved fish," she said.
Aside from presenting an approach for using pre-1900 museum specimens to provide a baseline for historic diversity, the study effectively yanks the rug out from under cutthroat trout restoration efforts and raises the stakes in a lawsuit filed last week by the Center for Biological Diversity against federal land managers.
The center claims that "rampant motorcycle use" permitted on trails running along and across Bear Creek is destroying precious habitat. "We've asked the forest service to close that trail to motorcycle use and move it," the director of the organization's endangered species program, Noah Greenwald, said in an interview.
Even after the construction of bridges and other projects designed to minimize erosion, Mr. Greenwald said, heavy trafficking of erosive soil around Bear Creek causes sediments to fill pools that are vital to cutthroat trout survival.
"It's a really small stream," he said. "So the pools are super-important during drought, when the stream freezes in the wintertime, and to hide from predators."
The Fish and Wildlife Service does not plan to take immediate action around Bear Creek in response to the Metcalf research, which the agency helped finance as a member of the Greenback Cutthroat Trout Recovery Team. Other funds flowed from the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service and Trout Unlimited.
A Fish and Wildlife Service representative told reporters on Monday that the greenback's status would not be changed from threatened to endangered until a thorough scientific review was carried out and the public had a chance to weigh in. Separate research that the agency will use to crosscheck Dr. Metcalf's genetic results is to be completed this fall.
Historic records indicate that Bear Creek, like many high-alpine streams made inaccessible by waterfalls and other natural barriers, once had no fish at all. When frontiersmen arrived in the area, they typically would settle near a creek, Dr. Metcalf said., "The first thing you're going to do is stock it, so you have a good food resource right by your house all year round," she said,
The revelation that Bear Creek is home to the last remaining greenback cutthroats underscores the importance of protecting the population, said Mr. Greenwald of the Center for Biological Diversity.
"If we can't protect it, if we don't do what's necessary to protect it, "we're at risk of losing another one of these cutthroat trout subspecies, and that would be a real tragedy," he said.


Current Limitations of the Cost-Based Optimization Process
The cost-based optimization process can be only applied to a query when there are statistics for all the base views involved in the query.
Example: Let us suppose V1 and V2 are base views from the same database and V3 is a base view from another data source. Let us also suppose DV is a derived view obtained by joining V1 and V2. Because V1 and V2 are from the same database, Virtual DataPort pushes down the join operation to the database.
Let us suppose we execute the following query:
This query can benefit from the cost-based optimization only when we have gathered the statistics of V1, V2 and V3.
When the cost-based optimization cannot be applied because the statistics of a required view are lacking or are disabled, the execution trace contains a message like "Missing statistics or not activated in the following nodes: DV, V3"
In addition, you have to take into account the following limitations of the cost-based optimization process:
 - This optimization is not applied in queries involving subqueries in the WHERE clause.
 - Although possible, we do not recommend enabling the cost-based optimization in views obtained from Multidimensional Databases or ITPilot data sources. The cost-based optimization process makes certain assumptions that are not verified in those types of data sources. Therefore, cost estimations may produce unexpected results.
 - The n-joins involving any left, right or full outer join will not be reordered. Virtual DataPort will still try to find the best execution plan for each 2-join in the n-join, but it will execute them in the order specified by the query.

After a full chapter of confronting the rabid unbelief of the Pharisees and enduring their personal, ad hominem attacks, Jesus turned the tables and told them exactly why they couldn't understand or receive, believe His Words. He said,
Question: "Why do you not understand My speech?"
Answer: "Because you are not able to (or, cannot, it is an inherent impossibility) listen to My word."
They're not able, they can't. Listening to His words is an inherent impossibility to them.
Did you ever wonder why and how this fits with being His sheep in John 10? If so, then keep listening.
The following is a study on John 8:37-59.

The documentary explores Taino history & the Contemporary Indigenous Caribbean Identity
Dance of the Mountain People: Indigenous Taino Music
By Roberto Mukaro Borrero
Traditional rhythms and melodies, ancient language, the sounds of the tropical forest - Indigenous Peoples music from the Caribbean island region. A Boriken Taino, Mukaro uses wood (maiohuakan), turtle shell (hikotea), and skin drums as well as flutes (bahio, okarina), rattle (maraka), sea shell horns (guamo), gourd rasps (guahei), chants, and the natural sounds of Mother Earth (Atabeira / Kaguana) to lead listeners on a musical journey to the indigenous Caribbean... This is the traditional style music of the Taino People, the very first "Native Americans" to meet Columbus in 1492.

We need to listen to a wider range of voices. We need to hear from those whose lands and rights were taken away by those who "discovered" them. Their stories, too often suppressed, tell of 500 years of courageous struggle, and the lasting wisdom of native peoples. Understanding what really happened to them in 1492 is key to understanding why people suffer the same injustices today.

FULL CIRCLE: A TAINO STORY by Travis Neff
Mr. Neff has embarked on an exploration on the lost people of the Lucayan-Taino Indians. Based on the poetic novel "The Lucayans" by Sandra Riley; combined with the interviews of research scholars throughout South Florida, the Bahamas, and Puerto Rico, this new film blends the scientific study and dramatic portrayal of their way of life.
This website was first launched on August 4, 2008 – it has come a long way thanks to you – the community. The premise for this website from its very beginning and which still applies today is to tell the story of my ancestors, the Taino people, in the form of a documentary. I have relied and still depend on you to share your stories and your thoughts to help shape this documentary. You have taught me a lot and we've only scratched the surface. This experience – this website – has become much more than I expected and I hope you feel the same as well. It has been a place of trials and tribulations, a place to have a voice sometimes filled with frustration, tears and anger but for the most part a place to rejoice, to contemplate, to think at peace whether you identify as a Taino or not.
I believe that for the most part people do not generally take time to celebrate their successes, big or small….milestones. Let me offer our community some things to celebrate – we have now over a thousand members (think of all the other thousands of people we have yet to meet!), we have been able to bring our opinions respectfully to the table – and its seems like we are actually LISTENING!
I celebrate - realizing that my sole mission isn't just to complete a documentary – it's to continue a journey with you. Although we may not meet eye-to-eye or face-to-face – but destiny has brought us here - together. You have been patient with me – you have nourished me – you have guided me – you have literally taken me into your arms and welcomed me into your hearts – I AM BLESSED AND I CELEBRATE.
Este sitio web fue puesto en marcha el 4 de agosto de 2008 – y a tenido exito gracias a ustedes la comunidad. La idea de este sitio web era y sigue siendo un lugar donde se puede contar las historias de mis antepasados, los Tainos, con el fin de produccir un documental. He confiado y todavía dependo de ustedes para compartir sus historias y sus pensamientos para ayudar a formar este documental. Ustedes me han enseñado mucho y apenas hemos rasguñado la superficie. Este experiencia - este Web site - se ha convertido en mucho más para mi y espero que a sido igual para usteds. Ha sido un lugar de ensayos y tribulaciones, un lugar donde sus voces han sido llenos de frustración y lagrimas pero en general un lugar para disfrutar, comtemplar, pensar en la paz - sea usted identificado como Taino o no.

This chapter describes the Objective Caml core library, which is composed of declarations for built-in types and exceptions, plus the module Pervasives that provides basic operations on these built-in types. The Pervasives module is special in two ways:
The declarations of the built-in types and the components of module Pervasives are printed one by one in typewriter font, followed by a short comment. All library modules and the components they provide are indexed at the end of this report.
The following built-in types and predefined exceptions are always defined in the compilation environment, but are not part of any module. As a consequence, they can only be referred by their short names.
The type of integer numbers.
The type of characters.
The type of character strings.
The type of floating-point numbers.
type bool = false | true
The type of booleans (truth values).
type unit = ()

type ('a, 'b, 'c, 'd) format4
The type of format strings. 'a is the type of the parameters of the format, 'd is the result type for the printf-style function, 'b is the type of the first argument given to \%a and \%t printing functions (see module Printf[Printf]), and 'c is the result type of these functions.
type 'a lazy_t
This type is used to implement the Lazy[Lazy] module. It should not be used directly.
exception Match_failure of (string * int * int)
Exception raised when none of the cases of a pattern-matching apply. The arguments are the location of the match keyword in the source code (file name, line number, column number).
exception Assert_failure of (string * int * int)
Exception raised when an assertion fails. The arguments are the location of the assert keyword in the source code (file name, line number, column number).
exception Invalid_argument of string
Exception raised by library functions to signal that the given arguments do not make sense.
exception Failure of string

Much of the work researching online communities focuses on positive benefits. These are brought to people through sharing their interests, knowledge, and friendship online. Groups like the Social Computing Group and the Community Technologies Group build tools and research methods to understand and enhance such positive aspects of online community. The CODII project takes a different approach by examining how people organise themselves online to disseminate illegal images. The goal of the project is to design tools that help hotlines and moderators identify and remove illegal online content.
This project grows from a working relationship with the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF). The IWF are the charity who run the UK hotline that helps identify illegal online images in order for them to be removed, especial images of child abuse. The IWF is one of a number of hotlines affiliated to the international association INHOPE.
Our approach is to take an understanding of the area gleaned from working with the IWF, and combine it with a technological and social science understanding of online community systems. This combination helps us to build novel and useful tools.
To date we have worked on two tools. The first was an enhancement of the IWF's Bulk Image Viewer. The Bulk Image Viewer is used for rapidly scanning newsgroup images. The second was an Unreferenced Picture Finder used to locate hidden pictures on websites.
The next stage of research is to build a tool for moderators of online community platforms. This tool will unite:
- novel image visualization techniques,
- social clustering, and
- linguistic analysis.


Your best friend for file transfer.
Fetch application logoFetch
Fetch Icon Fetch Help > Using Fetch > Uploading pictures for eBay
A common use for Fetch is to upload pictures of items you're auctioning on eBay to a web server. Fetch is only part of what you need to accomplish this task—you also need an account with a service that offers web hosting, such as your Internet service provider or a web hosting service. That provider should be able to tell you the hostname, username and password you need to use in Fetch.
Fetch can only help transfer pictures from your Macintosh to a web server; it cannot host pictures for you. Fetch Softworks is not a service provider.
To upload pictures for use on eBay, follow these steps:
 1. Create a digital picture of your item. Use a digital camera, scan the item with a scanner, or take your film to a store that can put your photos on CD.
 2. Choose the New Connection command from the File menu. The New Connection dialog appears:
 1. Enter the hostname of your server, your username, and your password in the appropriate text fields of the New Connection dialog. If you are unsure what to enter here, see the What do I enter in the hostname, username, and password fields? help topic.
 2. Click the Connect button.
 3. You should see a list of the files that make up your website:
 1. A dialog for selecting files appears:
 1. Navigate to the folder on your Macintosh where the picture of your item is stored.
 2. Select it.
 3. Click the Put button to begin the transfer.
 4. Once the file is transfered, you are done using Fetch for now.
 5. Go to eBay in your web browser and fill out the form for listing your item for sale. One of the steps is to enter the web address (URL) for the picture you have just uploaded. The web address (URL) will look something like this:. The web address may be different from the hostname you used to upload the picture. Your service provider can tell you what the correct web address for your picture is. If you think you know it, you can test it by typing it into a new window in your web browser. If your picture appears, you're all set and you can enter that same address into the eBay form.
You can upload multiple pictures and link to them in your item description, in addition to the one you specify when you create the listing.
If you regularly upload pictures to a website for eBay, you may want to set up WebView, which lets you select files in Fetch and click the WebView button to view them in your web browser, and use the Copy Web Address command to copy the web address of those files. See the setting up WebView topic for more information.

We study how the order of N independent random walks in one dimension evolves with time. Our focus is statistical properties of the inversion number m, defined as the number of pairs that are out of sort with respect to the initial configuration. In the steady state, the distribution of the inversion number is Gaussian with the average ⟨m⟩ &asymp N2/4 and the standard deviation &sigma &asymp N3/2/6. The survival probability, Sm(t), which measures the likelihood that the inversion number remains below m until time t, decays algebraically in the long-time limit, Sm &asymp t-&betam. Interestingly, there is a spectrum of N(N-1)/2 distinct exponents &betam(N). We also find that the kinetics of first passage in a circular cone provides a good approximation for these exponents. When N is large, the first-passage exponents are a universal function of a single scaling variable, &betam(N) &rarr &beta(z), with z = (m - ⟨m⟩)/σ. In the cone approximation, the scaling function is a root of a transcendental equation involving the parabolic cylinder equation, D2&beta(-z) = 0, and surprisingly, numerical simulations show this prediction to be exact.

A Novel Method for Phytoextraction and Phytostabilization of Environmental Mercury
Because environmental mercury poses significant challenges to global public health, reducing mercury levels in air, soil, and water is an international priority. However, the widespread distribution of mercury (Hg) through the atmosphere makes current methods of addressing Hg contamination ¿ such as excavation and replacement of soil, or pump-and-treat techniques for water ¿ too expensive to be practical, due to the typically large scale of remediation activity required. This project will develop an innovative, low-cost method of extracting Hg from soil and water, using two recently-identified Hg-hyperaccumulating plant species, one terrestrial and one aquatic. The Hg stored in the plant leaves and stems may then be harvested for disposal, or allowed to remain on-site in an extremely refractory (highly stable) chemical form that poses negligible health risks. Preliminary studies have demonstrated that Hg uptake by the terrestrial hyperaccumulator is greatly accentuated when soil is rich in Se, suggesting HgSe formation may be occurring. Phase I will attempt to demonstrate a high plant uptake of Hg and in planta conversion of environmental Hg to HgSe. Phase II will explore methods of increasing Hg uptake, confirm the low bioavailability under normal environmental conditions of the stabilized form, and conclude with a field demonstration. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee: The technology should establish the foundation for a low-cost, solar powered method of removing and stabilizing mercury over large areas of soil and large volumes of water.

Success for All (SFA) is a whole school improvement strategy that has been proven to increase children's outcomes. SFA originated in the US, and has been adapted to the UK context. It is now used in approximately 100 schools in the UK, supported by Success for All-UK, a UK registered charity. The reading component of SFA includes systematic phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and reading comprehension.
Between 2008 and 2012 we undertook a large-scale evaluation of the SFA literacy programme, assessing its impact on the literacy skills of pupils as they moved through school. The evaluation was a matched study involving nearly 40 schools (control and intervention).
Our findings when the children reached the end of Reception and Year 1 were statistically significant, and for the end of Year 2 were positive. In Summer 2012, a further period of assessment took place with the pupils when they reached the end of Year 3.
The SFA study involved Louise Tracey, Bette Chambers, Robert Slavin, Nancy Madden, Pam Hanley, and Louise Elliott.


Cremer Coating
High speed flame spraying works with a continued gas combustion under high pressure in a combustion chamber to which the powdery spray filler materials are added into its central axis.
The high pressure generated in the combustion chamber by the combustion gas - hydrogen mix achieves the required high flow speed in the gas spray. The spray particles are thus accelerated to high particle speeds which lead to extremely dense spray coatings with extraordinary hold.
The sufficient but moderate temperature input is only slightly changed metallurgically by the spraying of the spray filler materials, e.g. minimal build-up of mixed carbides. Extremely thin coatings with high accuracy are obtained with this method.
Propane, Propane, Ethylene, Acetyls, hydrogen can be used as combustion gas.
Application areas are gliding surfaces of steam irons, presses for the photo industry, parts for the petrochemical and chemical machines, e.g. pumps, sliders, ball vents, mechanical joints, shaft sleeves etc.

Fossil fuels vehicles have brought the planet on the brink of collapse. Our project, Altered Carbon, is set in a speculative future scenario where fossil fuel vehicles have been replaced by autonomous electric vehicles. The project reimagines public spaces and explores the possibility of reducing the amount of carbon in the environment by employing carbon sequestration, a technique used to extract carbon from the atmosphere, to develop glossy monolithic landscapes.
Ever changing carbon garden
An ecosystem of machines which together perform a 'ballet' where some of the machines form, carve and sculpt the carbon deposits in the garden, while the autonomous vehicles zip by the streets. Humans, though mostly tangential, can experience this ever changing and dynamic landscape, where chronological elements and technologies are co-present.
A chunk view of the carbon garden
The project experimented with material and texture studies to create textures mimicking carbon rocks and to develop geometrical surfaces for the gardens. The project also looked at the potentials and limitations of the machinic technology carving the carbon rocks and overlaid them on the textures obtained through material studies.

I think the answer runs along the same logic as this question: Which sex has higher variance of reproductive rate in modern societies - male or females?
Because its easier for a male to have offspring with multiple partners, more women would typically produce offspring than men. In polygamous cultures, it can lead to significant differences of reproductive success between the genders.

Earthquake Glossary - seismic moment
The seismic moment is a measure of the size of an earthquake based on the area of fault rupture, the average amount of slip, and the force that was required to overcome the friction sticking the rocks together that were offset by faulting. Seismic moment can also be calculated from the amplitude spectra of seismic waves.
Moment = µ A D
µ = shear modulus = 32 GPa in crust, 75 GPa in mantle
A = LW = area
D = average displacement during rupture

Mount Sartova A Rosh Chodesh Signal
This Shabbat there will be a special Torah reading called Parshat Hachodesh which recalls the first mitzvah given to the Jewish People – the sanctification of the new month.
Once the Sanhedrin in Yerushalayim determined, on the basis of testimony by witnesses who had sighted the new moon, that a particular day was to be Rosh Chodesh, it was necessary to communicate this information to the Jews living in Babylon. This was achieved by waving large flaming torches on high places whose fire could be seen from one place to another until the message finally reached Babylon.
Mount Sartova, about 830 meters above sea level, was the second station after Mount of Olives where the first torch was waved. It was followed by another three stations, the last of which was Beit Baltin, from which the torch waver could see a part of Babylon lit up with fires, indicating that the message of the new moon had been received.

Suppose that we have a parametrization via polynomials as follows:
$$t\longrightarrow (f_1(t),\ldots,f_n(t)),$$
where $t$ is a vector in $\mathbb{C}^r$ and $f_i$ are polynomials of arbitrary degree.
Can we always find equations such that the image is an affine algebraic variety?
The question is motivated by Exercise 1.11 in Hartshorne:
Let $Y\subseteq A^3$ be the curve given parametrically by $x = t^3, y= t^4, z = t^5$. Show that $I(Y)$ is a prime ideal of height 2 in $k[x,y,z]$ which cannot be generated by 2 elements.
I am not interested in the exercise in particular. Finding the variety is easy sometimes, for instance $t\rightarrow (t^2,t^3)$ is given by $I(x^3-y^2)$.
I am looking for a result which says that the image is always an affine algebraic variety AND a procedure to find the ideal.
share|improve this question
As others note in answers, the image is not necessarily a subvariety if you have more than one source variable---but the image is always constructible. You can calculate the Zariski closure easily by elimination (in theory---may take a long time): for Hartshorne exercise, ask a CAS to eliminate t from the list of defining parametric equations. When you are parameterizing by A^1, the image is always closed, since A^1 --> A^r is a finite map if nontrivial. In Hartshorne exercise, for example, t satisfies the monic polynomial T^3 - x over k[x,y,z]. – user2490 Aug 31 '10 at 16:15

I can't comment (b/c I'm not a registered user) but let me add: in case the dimension of the domain is 1 (as in your motivating example) the image is in fact an affine variety. To see this, note that the map can always be extended to a map from the projective line to projective space by homogenizing things (compare with Dan's example---if you tried homogenizing his map, you'd get $[x:y:z] \mapsto [xy:yz:z^2]$ which is not defined if $x=z=0$ or $y=z=0$), and use the fact that the image of a projective variety by a regular map is closed. Finally, observe that the image of the affine line you started with is precisely the intersection of the image of the homogenized map with the affine coordinate patch determined by your homogenization. Therefore the image of the map you started with is an affine variety. So Hartshorne's example is not an accident.

Consider $f \colon {\mathbb C}^2 \to {\mathbb C}^2$ given by $(x,y) \mapsto (xy,y)$. The image consists of ${\mathbb C}^2$ minus the subset $y = 0, x \neq 0$. Since the image is not closed, it is not a variety.
The notion of a constructible subset was invented to deal with questions like this. A constructible subset is one which can be constructed from subvarieties using "boolean operations". Equivalently it is a subset defined by polynomial equations and inequations. It is true that the image of a constructible subset is again constructible (Chevalley's theorem).

If I change the question slightly the answer is 'yes'. Changed question: '' Is the Zariski closure of the image of a polynomial map always an (affine) algebraic variety''.
Explicitly finding this variety (i.e the ideal defining it) is the subject of 'elimination theory''. See ch. 4 of the bookIntroduction to Algebraic Geometry' by Brendan Hasset.
share|improve this answer
While what you write is correct, it's not what you intend, I think. The Zariski closure is an affine variey by definition. But the stronger fact, mentioned by Dan Petersen above, is the constructibility of the image. So the image is Zariski open inside its Zariski closure. This implies, in particular, that the 'usual' closure (with respect to the complex topology) is an affine variety. Meanwhile, all these closures are indeed computable using elimination theory. – Minhyong Kim Aug 31 '10 at 16:07
I think this is ok,. Suppose you have $t\longrightarrow (f_1(t),\ldots,f_n(t)).$ Let's call Y the image of that. Then to see if $Y$ is a variety, you can see that $I(Y)$ is prime. But let $\phi: k[X_1, \ldots, X_n] \longrightarrow k[T]$ be given by $X_i \mapsto f_i(T)$. Then $$Ker \phi = \{f: \phi(f) = 0\} = \{f: f(f_1(T), \ldots, f_n(T)) = 0\} = I(Y).$$ So $I(Y)$ is prime because it is the kernel of a map whose image is an integral ring, and then $Y$ is a variety.
share|improve this answer
How do you know that the zero set of $I(Y)$ is the image of the map (and not something bigger)? – Sheikraisinrollbank Sep 22 '10 at 14:18
I think you have just proved that the Zariski closure of the image is irreducible, which is certainly true if the source is irreducible. But this is not what was asked; e.g. $(x,y) \mapsto (x,xy)$ does not have Zariski closed, or even locally closed, image. – Emerton Sep 22 '10 at 15:37

Learning Hybrid Recommender Models for Heterogeneous Semantic Data
Recommender algorithms are key technologies supporting users to deal with information overload. Recommender Systems (RS) aim at identifying relevant items a user is unaware of. The relevance of items depends on various criteria such as item properties, the relationship to other items, user preferences, and contexts. The aggregation of different criteria is the key in computing high-quality recommendations. We propose a novel approach for automatically learning parameters for recommendations based on semantic datasets (graphs). We outline how scaling models and noise reduction models allow us to consider individual dataset properties. We evaluated the proposed methods on a semantic movie data set. The evaluation shows that each semantic relationship set requires a separate recommender model. Combining such recommender models yields much higher precision. We show the recommender ensembles outperform recommenders based on aggregated semantic graphs (block matrix recommender).

 As a hero of the Battle of Naboo, you've been called before the Gungan High Council to handle a critical mission. Their city is threatened by overpopulation, and you must establish a new colony on a nearby moon. The Gungans need you to create a new world filled with fantastic Star Wars creatures and plants from across the galaxy. You must discover how these alien animals and plants interact and how they depend on each other to live. Only when you have an ecologically sound environment can a new Gungan city truly thrive. The fate of an entire civilization rests in your hands because, on the moon of Naboo, the most powerful force of nature is you.
 In this first ever Star Wars simulation designed for players age 9 and up, your goal is to transform the barren moon of Naboo into a thriving, balanced ecosystem and help the Gungans build a new underwater bubble city. From your transport ship, you control the release of Star Wars creatures and exotic plants into the empty landscape. Creatures move and interact in life-like, 3D animation and digital sounds. Monitor population levels, manage the food web, consult your online encyclopedia, and harvest valuable resources that can be used to build the new Gungan city.

Introduction to Boatbuilding
A one-week primer on building small boats.
Note: These are six-day courses ending Saturday afternoon.
There are many individuals out there who have decided that they would like to build their very own boat but don't know how to get started. Many first-time builders have run into problems understanding the process of what to do first and, as a result, soon get intimidated and the idea loses momentum. Bill Thomas and John Karbott, noted boatbuilders and teachers, invite anyone interested in wooden boats and woodworking to join them in either of these two six-day courses focusing on the skills and techniques used in basic boatbuilding. No prior boatbuilding experience is required; simply a desire to learn. If you want to build a good-looking, simple sailing skiff, Bill or John can help you get started and guide you through the step-by-step procedures to taking on and completing such a project on your own.
Bill has chosen one of Iain Oughtred's lovely designs, the Skerrieskiff 17, as the boat students will construct during his course. This beach cruiser offers a great compromise between rowing and sailing qualities. We will be building a rowing version during the course. Using traditional boatbuilding methods, she is built of marine plywood over a strongback and moulds. John Karbott's students will build two of his handsome 12 ½′ semi-dory skiffs combining marine plywood, white oak, and Northern white cedar. Both classes will start with understanding boat plans and lofting and proceed through scarfing, framing, planking, and interior joinerwork. As with any one-week building schedule, there will be plenty for students to do as we finish the boats.
As both skiffs take shape through each week, Bill and John will lead discussions in small-craft design, selecting a suitable design for the amateur builder, setting up a one-man shop, proper hand and power tool usage, and much more. Whether you have a hankering for traditional skiff construction like the Skerrieskiff 17 or the 12 ½′ Semi-dory skiff or are simply looking for a perfect introduction to wooden boat construction, you will thoroughly enjoy either of these weeks.

100 Years of Aircraft Accident Investigation
Mr G B Cockburn
Aircraft accident investigation in the United Kingdom has been an evolutionary process which began in the early twentieth century. Surviving information on the earliest period is sketchy and in some cases contradictory. In 1910, C S Rolls, co-founder of the Rolls-Royce Company, had the misfortune to become the first British citizen to be fatally injured in an aircraft accident, when his modified Wright biplane suffered a structural failure during an aviation meeting at Bournemouth. Later in the same year, a British pilot and his aircraft disappeared during an attempted double crossing of the Channel. Although no official flight safety structure then existed, the Royal Aero Club, which had only recently obtained its Royal Charter, became closely interested in the topic.
The Club was dedicated to spreading knowledge to advance the sport of aviation. Establishing the reasons for accidents was soon seen as an essential part of generating such knowledge. An enthusiastic member of the main club committee at the time was Mr George Bertram Cockburn (pictured right).
In 1911, the first aviation legislation was enacted.
This took the form of the Aerial Navigation Act. This was primarily directed at ensuring the safety of people on the ground that might be struck by uncontrolled or otherwise descending aircraft. Clearly, the hazard to the earthbound public was officially regarded as of primary importance and was of public concern, whilst the welfare of the limited numbers of aviators and even fewer passengers was regarded as a distinctly secondary consideration.
On 9 January 1912 the Committee of the Royal Aero Club considered, but deferred, the question of investigating aviation accidents. At the meeting on the 16 January 1912 the matter was viewed with slightly more urgency and it was referred to the Club Sub Committee.
During the meeting of Tuesday 27 February the setting up of a Public Safety and Accidents Investigation Committee was agreed and Mr Cockburn immediately becoming an active member.
On 13 May 1912 an accident occurred at Brooklands in which a Flanders monoplane crashed and was engulfed by fire. This misfortune was reported at the main committee meeting the following day. The Brooklands accident was not only the first in the UK to be formally investigated by the Public Safety and Accidents Investigation Committee but was also the first upon which a report was published. On 4 June 1912 the Public Safety and Accidents Investigation Committee "unanimously resolved that this report be forwarded to the (main) committee with the recommendation that it be published in extensor". Copies of the report thus came into widespread circulation on 8 June 1912.
In 1914 an Aircraft Inspection Department (AID) was formed at Farnborough. Cockburn was appointed almost immediately as an Inspector of aircraft in this newly formed organisation. By 1915 the vastly increased amount of flying was resulting in an unsustainable accident rate. As a result Cockburn, now a Captain in the Royal Flying Corps (RFC), was given a new appointment as the first Inspector of Accidents.

|The Monster Book of Monsters|
The Monster Book of Monsters is a particularly vicious textbook that is used in Care of Magical Creatures while Rubeus Hagrid (who thought the book's aggressive nature was funny) was the teacher. The book will attack anyone who attempts to open it. The only way to subdue the book is to stroke its spine, upon which the book opens placidly.
- "Hasn' anyone bin able ter open their books? Yeh've got to stroke 'em."
- —Hagrid in his first lesson of magical creatures, who thought the books were actually funny.[src]
After incidents in which the books attacked each other, the manager of Flourish and Blotts vowed never to stock them again; he found the situation to be worse than when an entire stock of The Invisible Book of Invisibility disappeared.
When students brought this book to Hogwarts for Rubeus Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class, they had to force the books shut with belts and Spello-tape because they didn't know how to calm the books.
Hermione Granger considered this book along with many others as she was deciding on the supplies they would need to take on their mission to find Voldemort's Horcruxes. As she was sorting books, it broke free of its restraints and bit Ron Weasley on the ankle. It is unknown if she took it with them.

PROSPECTIVE EVALUATION OF A ONE-STAGE ESOPHAGEAL BALLOON DILATION FEEDING TUBE
FOR BENIGN ESOPHAGEAL STRICTURES IN DOGS: INITIAL RESULTS
Weisse C, Berent A
The Animal Medical Center, NEW YORK
INTRODUCTION: Dysphagia due to benign esophageal strictures (BES) is an important cause of morbidity. Mechanical dilation may improve dysphagia, however repeated costly treatments are common and few animals regain normal function. The purpose of this study is to determine if the esophageal balloon-dilation feeding tube (EBDFT) could provide a more effective, single-procedure alternative for the treatment of BES.
MATERIALS & METHODS: A balloon mounted on an esophageal feeding tube would be placed similar to an E-tube, and remain in place for approximately one month. The owner performed twice daily balloon dilations at home. Dogs diagnosed with BES were included following client consent; exclusion criteria included comorbidities preventing general anesthesia or lack of follow-up communication.
RESULTS: Four female spayed dogs with confirmed BES were included in this preliminary study; each had dysphagia scores of 3/4 (only able to swallow liquids). Prior to EBDFT placement, these patients received between 1 and 10 previous esophageal balloon dilations. All patients were discharged the same or the following day. Post-operative complications occurred in 2 dogs including premature tube removal by the dog (1), and prototype EBDFT failure requiring exchange (1). One dog was ultimately euthanized due to failure to improve and unrelated comorbidities. One dog still has the tube in place. The other two dogs have final dysphagia scores of 0/4 (normal eating) and 1/4 (able to swallow some kibble and canned food).
CONCLUSION: EBDFT placement in dogs is feasible and warrants further investigation to determine if this technique can provide improved outcomes for BES.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE MANAGEMENT OF DISTAL
AORTIC THROMBOSIS IN A DOG
Dunn M. 1, Weisse C. 2, Berent A. 2.
1. Veterinary Hospital of the University of Montreal, St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, Canada 2. Animal Medical Center, Manhattan, NY.
An 8 year old female spayed Greyhound was presented with acute paresis and pain in the hind limbs. Initial physical examination revealed cold distal hind limbs, markedly decreased femoral pulses bilaterally, lack of metatarsal pulses bilaterally and cyanotic nail beds. Following the administration of analgesics, diagnostic tests confirmed protein losing nephropathy (PLN) and hypertension. Ultrasonographic examination showed a thrombosis at the aortic trifurcation extending into the external iliac arteries. The dog received conservative management for the first 18 hours. As her status failed to improve, it was decided that an intervention to re-establish blood flow to the area would be beneficial. The dog was anesthetized and her right carotid artery was accessed. An aortogram revealed marked filling defects in the caudal aorta at the trifurcation. Markedly reduced flow was seen in her external and internal iliac arteries. The left carotid artery was then accessed to allow p[acement of 2 stents simultaneously. Two caval stents measuring 8mm in width and 60 mm in length were deployed simultaneously in the proximal external iliac arteries and ending together in the distal aorta. An aortogram following stent placement showed much improved flow in both the internal and external iliac arteries. A catheter was inserted over a guidewire into the distal aorta and 6.5mg of tissue plasminogen activator was trickled in over a few minutes. During the post-operative period, the dog received analgesics and anticoagulants. Over the following 3 days, she progressively improved and regained motor function of the hind limbs.

A Decade of Train History at Railpark Museum
By Audrey Brown
A woman and her young son stand observing an exhibit explaining Abraham Lincoln's railroad legacy inside the Historic Railpark & Train Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The boy points enthusiastically at pictures of Lincoln, trains, and slaves surrounding tracks as he asks his mom questions.

"What's that train? Why are there so many people there? What does Abraham Lincoln have to do with trains?" His curiosity delights his mother.
Karen Williams, of Bowling Green, brings her son Aaron to the museum often.
"He loves vehicles of all kinds, and especially trains. His room is full of trains," Karen Williams said. "I bring him here often because he loves trains, and I love that he gets such an exposure to history here while he can admire the trains. The displays and the people who work here can give him a history lesson that he can't quite get anywhere else."
This year was the 10th anniversary of the museum, one of Bowling Green's top tourism spots. The museum held a senior celebrations dinner, where Bowling Green Mayor Bruce Wilkerson declared Sept. 2 to be historic railpark day.
Built in 1925, the L&N Depot, as it was originally called, was once a popular train station and a hub for Bowling Green's economic foundation. It would see upwards of 20 trains per day, some carrying supplies or mail, others carrying people.
In 1979, the building shut down. No more trains passed through, and it became an unofficial shelter for the homeless. Some tiles in the main waiting area still have scuffs from a time when homeless people would create fires in the building to stay warm, according to museum volunteer Miliska Knauft.
Then, in the early 2000s, volunteers called The Historic Railroad Committee (Now called the Friends of the L&N Depot) began to collect trains and restore them. The first cars were placed there in 2002 and volunteers continued to gather and work on the trains until 2006.
In 2007, the same building that was once a bustling train station reopened as a museum, keeping much of the original infrastructure.
The Features
The museum itself is two floors. The first floor is small and features mostly pop-up boards with text. The second floor is bigger and features more unique exhibits, like Civil War uniform displays, a display of nails used on tracks, and a coat rack that holds common attire homeless people would wear.

In front of the entrance to the museum sits a train used for touring, the 796 E-8 Locomotive.
The museum is packed with information on various train types and people involved with trains. Posters and displays line the walls and floor, densely packed with words detailing the history of the museum and the trains that passed through it when it was still a working train station.
Some patrons to the museum actually rode on the trains when it was a working station, or have family who did. Ronnie Burgette recalls times when his sister rode the train from this station. "She would catch a train here every day and travel to U of L," he said.
Burgette said came back to this museum out of nostalgia, but also out of curiosity. "I just wanted to look at the building too, because it's old like me," he said while laughing.
On the busiest days in the summertime, this tiny museum can see up to 60 people all crowding around the exhibits. On a recent day when Burgette visited, however, there were no more than five at a time.

The wide variety of exhibits guests can observe range from Lincoln's involvement with the railroad system, to Civil War displays and how the L&N Depot was right on the border of the south and the north, so both sides wanted control of it. The museum also covers the negative aspects of the culture at the time, emphasizing the problems black visitors and workers faced, as well as the homeless and the community once based around the train system.
Interactive exhibits give visitors the sense of working on a train. There are three in the museum: Sam Travis, the cook; Billy Byrd, the engineer; and an unnamed conductor. All three of these jobs came with plenty of hardships, which each exhibit discusses.
The second floor also features a small theater room with the same clip played on repeat. It is a video interview of a black train worker discussing the difficulties he faced working with the majority of guests, who were white. For example, he describes the time one guest refused to call him by his actual name.
The Staff
The staff of the museum includes volunteers and regularly paid employees.
Miliska Knauft has been a volunteer at the museum since 2009. She carries around a handful of notecards, which she uses when she gives tours of the 796 E-8 Locomotive.
She believes the museum would not function if it weren't for volunteers.
"This place is mostly volunteer run," she said. "We have a lot of hardworking people that come here in their free time to make sure things go smoothly."
She says, for the most part, volunteer women like her run tours while volunteer men generally work on the trains.
"Most maintenance volunteers are men," she said. "We don't get a lot of women who know how to keep up trains. Women mostly do the tours."
Knauft enjoys the history of the building most of all. She likes to describe the architecture of the museum to those who ask, passionately recounting how much of the infrastructure like the floors in the main meeting room are the same floors from when the building was originally built.
Cory Burdette began working at the museum in August. As a history major at Western Kentucky University, he has a passion for all that museums have to offer. His ultimate goal is to work at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.
His favorite thing about working at a museum is seeing people's reactions. He says you never know what people are going to take from the experience, and he loves being able to make people happy. He jokes around with visitors, and keeps a smile on his face to make people feel welcome.
He especially loves giving tours. He says it's like "being a history teacher without the responsibility of being a teacher."
Burdette said he wants to help make history come alive.
"I feel like museums do that," he said. "You can read a history book and learn a story, but when you come to a museum and you can see all the things here; see all the things that existed in that time... there's just nothing like it."
Planning a visit
A visit to the museum including a tour of the train costs $12 for adults, $10 or seniors, and $6 for children ages four and up. This cost includes a tour of the museum's 796 E-8 Locomotive train that sits near the entrance. Visitors can explore how a train would have looked during its run time, while a tour guide provides background information on the conductor room, engine room, mail car, dining car, sleeper car, and president of the L&N Depot's office car. If you want to skip the train tour, the price is halved.
Visitors can also participate in escape rooms, where they must work with others to escape being locked into a train specifically designated for this event. This feature is not included in the museum visit, must be booked in advance, and is an added cost of $26 per person.
Aside from museum-hosted services, people can also rent parts of the museum for private events such as weddings, birthdays, and school field trips.
In December, the museum hosted a Polar Express event. Children got to meet Santa, who read storybooks to them and, at the end of the reading, gave them a bell, like in the movie.
The museum's website has a calendar detailing smaller events. Learn more at

EROI LOCALI E IMPERATORI A PERGE (PAMPHYLIA): I MONUMENTI
Local heroes and emperors at Perge (Pamphylia): the evidence
of the monuments
The subject of this paper is the analysis of some monuments of
the second century AD in Perge (Pamphylia), decorated with imperial portraits and statues of local gods and heroes. The case of the transformation of the South Gate into a monument celebrating the imperial dynasty, the city and the benefactor's family shows how Plancia Magna acted at Perge. Plancia Magna, who financed important public works for the city, illustrates the role of benefactor of the senatorial class at that period. Imperial portraits are exhibited together with local gods and heroes also in the Nymphaeum North, in the South Bath and in the last redecoration of the theater (end of the third centuryAD).

Presentation on theme: "…it's as easy as rolling off a cliff…"— Presentation transcript:
1 …it's as easy as rolling off a cliff… Projectile Motion…it's as easy as rolling off a cliff…
2 PredictionBefore you participated in the PhET simulation, you made a prediction and explained your reasoning to me via.
3 A Little History…A few years ago, researchers went to elementary, middle, and high schools as well as universities and showed students this image and asked them,"Ignoring air resistance, which of the following correctly shows what an object would do if it rolled off a cliff?"
4 The ResultsThe breakdown of answers they got was almost exactly the same at all ages.About 60% said "A" was correct. The object will stop in midair, and then start to fall straight down. Because some people referred to the coyote in cartoons, the researchers called it the Wile E. Coyote Effect.About 25% said "B" was correct. The object will move forward at first, but will eventually just fall straight down.About 15% answered "C". The object will continue to move forwards the entire time it is falling.
5 So What's the Correct Answer? I'm not going to tell you. We'll revisit the question at the end of these notes.
6 Observations from the Simulation As we saw with the simulation, the projectile that fell straight down and the one that was shot from a cannon horizontally - hit the ground in the same amount of time.So what effect did horizontal velocity have on the time it took (the downward motion of) the projectile to hit the ground?None!The best conclusion we can make from this is that the horizontal motion of a projectile does not affect downward motion of the projectile.
7 Observations from the lab Intuition will tell you that the horizontally launched object will "hang" in the air.But…YOUR INTUITION (at least in this case) IS WRONG!Here's a videoHere's another video
8 Horizontal and Vertical Motion The most important thing you can remember about projectile motion is this:Horizontal and Vertical motion are completely, 100% INDEPENDENT of each other – even when they are happening at the same time.Your lab question was, "How does initial velocity affect the amount of time it takes a horizontally-launched object to reach the ground?"
9 Does Horizontal Affect Vertical? The short answer to the lab question is:It Doesn't! The horizontal motion of the projectile is unaffected by the downward (vertical) force of gravity.What does affect how long it takes an object to hit the ground (ignoring air resistance)?One thing and one thing only…The height it is launched from!
10 Looking at velocity vectors On the next slide, we're going to look at the paths two projectiles follow. One projectile is shot out of a cannon, the other is dropped at exactly the same moment.yes, just like the lab When going through the slide, remember:velocity is a vector (has magnitude & direction)gravity is a constant forceconstant forces cause acceleration
11 two cannon balls – one is given a horizontal force, the other is just dropped gravity acts downward on bothWhile clicking through this slide, keep in mind that the law of inertia tells us that objects in motion stay in motion at a constant speed and in a straight line. Since horizontal motion is independent of vertical motion, the horizontal vector never changes!horizontal motion continuesgravity acts on all objects equallygravity is a constant force that accelerates all falling objects (ignoring air resistance)
12 Back to the cliff… So…which path will the red ball travel? It will follow path C – because its horizontal motion will continue at the same speed and direction (law of inertia) while gravity exerts a downward force at the same time!
13 ReflectionAs we saw with the ball and the cliff question, many people – even highly educated people – have misconceptions about falling objects versus objects with a high horizontal velocity.Ask five of your friends or family members which bullet will stay in the air longer: one shot from a pistol or one dropped from pistol height. (Obviously, don't ask students in this class or physics majors )
14 ReflectionOn the discussion board page, join the discussion about why you think most people have the misconception that a bullet fired from a gun will "hang" in the air. What is it about a bullet from a gun (or an arrow from a bow and arrow, or a cannon ball out of a cannon, etc.) that makes it so hard to believe that gravity acts on it exactly the same way gravity acts on an object with no horizontal velocity (ie, one that is dropped)?Make one original post and respond to at least two other student's posts.

hi...i'v got problem on using the word that conversation jess said'something that will look good on camera is also key' why didn't she put A before key...i thought it should be read a key..Am I right?
Hi MamaAisha,
The word 'key' can be a noun and then it would be correct to say, for example, 'this is a key'. However, Jess is using it as an adjective. If you don't know how it's used as an adjective, try looking it up in our online dictionary on the right hand side of the page.
