TY - THES AU - Sgaravatti Saboredo, Franco T1 - What are the elements that enable the growth of the sport of surfing? DA - 2017 CY - Chur PB - Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft HTW Chur A3 - Luthe, Tobias AB - The industry of surfing has grown so much in the last decades that it has even influenced countries with no access to the ocean, Switzerland is a clear example. Not only that surfing can be practiced in rivers, nowadays technology permits the creation of artificial waves that can emulate waves from the ocean and in Switzerland, there are various projects developing in the upcoming years. The aim of this research study is to analyse the current industry of surfing in the country, to identify who the main players are, future developments and finally, find what are the elements that enable the growth of surfing in Switzerland. In order to accomplish this, an intensive theoretical background analysis was done to gather already existing information. After collecting information, expert interviews were followed by addressing key companies and people involved in the industry. Last but not least, a customer survey was developed to gain further information on the demand side of the industry. M3 - Bachelorarbeit Tourismus M4 - Citavi ER -


Statistics Dictionary
Select term:
T Score
The term t score has different meanings in different settings:
 - In introductory statistics, t score is often used synonomously with t statistic.
 - In psychometrics, a t score is a type of standard score computed by multiplying a z-score by 10 and adding 50.
 - In bone density tests, a t score compares bone mineral density to a reference mean.
Often, the meaning is clear from the context. In educational research, the psychometric definition generally applies. In papers on osteoporosis, the bone density definition is probably the intended definition.
Sometimes, though, the meaning is not clear. Some statistics texts use the term to mean "t statistic". Others use the psychometric definition.
To avoid confusion, the Stat Trek website avoids the term "t score". It uses "t statistic", instead.

About half of immigrant youth of Turkish or North-African origin drop out of high school before getting a diploma. The cause is the low social-economic circumstances of the youth, the other language and the late entrance into high school. This is according to a study of the Open Univesity of Brussels.
Less than 20% of boys and less than 25% of girls of Turkish and North-African origin start higher education. By ethnic Belgians that's 57% of boys and 71% of girls.
More than 40% of Turkish and North-African youth begin secondary education after the age of 12, which means they already have a gap to fill.
The researchers pointed out that it's impossible to catch up on such gaps later on.

What are they?
Consider a star, having its mass is more than 3 times of the mass of the Sun. At the end of its life, it will collapse and will become more and more compact. This collapse will continue until the star becomes so compact and dense that Nothing…Nothing, not even light, would be able to pass through or escape from its gravity. Hence the star will become dark and it cann't be viewed directly.
Now we say that our Considered Star is A Black Hole.
Nature and More about Black Holes
As of now, our star is a black hole. Now it will emit strong gravitational waves due to its giant mass-density. These waves will be strongest near the black hole and weakest at last approach of the black hole. Thus the shape of black hole's effect area, will look like Whirl. This is the same as washing machine whirl..

What is covered the care certificate standard 4?
The care certificate standard 4 covers the concepts of equality, diversity, inclusion and discrimination in the provision of health and social care services.
What is equality?
Equality is about treating people alike according to their needs. You should make sure that everyone is given equality of opportunity. For example, you may need to provide information in different formats (for example, Braille) or make sure there is access to a building for an individual in a wheelchair.
What is diversity?
Diversity can be described as 'difference'. All individuals are different, and the many different parts of a person's character and identity make them unique.
What is inclusion?
Inclusion is 'being included within either a group or society as a whole'. Inclusion links with diversity and equality. It is important to understand someone's differences so that you can include them and treat them equally and fairly. People can feel excluded if they are not able to join in with activities.
Excluding people because of their differences is known as 'discrimination'. All workers in health and social care must make sure that they work inclusively to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to take part when they want to. This is especially true about people taking part in their care and support so that it is truly centred on them as a person.
What is discrimination?
Discrimination broadly refers to actions that are often based on a person's negative attitude towards others. In human social affairs, discrimination is treatment or consideration of or making a distinction in favour of or against, a person based on the group, class, or category to which the person is perceived to belong rather than on individual attributes.
This includes treatment of an individual or group, based on their actual or perceived membership in a certain group or social category, "in a way that is worse than the way people are usually treated". It involves the group's initial reaction or interaction going on to influence the individual's actual behaviour towards the group leader or the group, restricting members of one group from opportunities or privileges that are available to another group, leading to the exclusion of the individual or entities based on logical or irrational decision making.
Why is this care certificate standard 4 training course important?
Equality and diversity are essential components of health and social care. Good equality and diversity practices make sure that the services provided to people are fair and accessible to everyone. They ensure that people are treated as equals, that people get the dignity and respect they deserve and that their differences are celebrated. Equality and diversity shouldn't be seen as bonus benefits to your health or social care setting but more as integral constituents.
In a health and social care environment, equality and diversity must be at the heart of what we do. Our patients and service users are individual people, and we should always strive to ensure that their diverse needs are met and ensure that they have equal access to the services we provide. This is particularly important for adults in need who, because of a disability, illness or their age, are unable to take adequate care of themselves and keep themselves from harm.

I want to know what exactly is different in the verbs "mischen" and "vermischen". Both of them mean to mix.
Is there any example where they can mean a specific thing? Are they interchangeable?
share|improve this question
Depends on context. A generic answer might be that vermischen is rather "to mix up, muddle, and/or confuse" while mischen is more deliberate. However, there certainly quite a many contexts that proves me wrong on that. – Em1 Apr 22 '14 at 12:58

An example where only one of the options is appropriate: Shuffling a deck of cards is always "mischen", never "vermischen". As a rule of thumb use "mischen" on countable sets and "vermischen" when the result is homogenous.
Beware: "mixing a drink" is neither: the correct translation is "einen Drink mixen".
share|improve this answer
well "einen Drink mischen" is not unheard of... – Vogel612 Apr 28 '14 at 16:50
Maybe its helpful that "vermischen" indicates that there are at least 2 components while "mischen" can be of one substance. Also look for the Noun " das Gemisch" there is no noun of "vermischen".
share|improve this answer
I upvoted because the 2-component-point is very pertinent, but I have to contest the last sentence: "Vermischung" and "Vermischtes" exists. – Phira Apr 24 '14 at 23:52
According to the german wiktionary the preposition "ver-" has several meanings (well it's an old complicated language) amongst these is the notion of a "prcess that is hard to reverse" like in to fall in love sich ver-lieben. I guess that might be a good explanation. So it wants to emphasize a process of mixing that is irreversible. So if you mix water you sill end up with water. but if you mix water and sugar (so two or more components) and you "vermisch" them then they are really mixed without an easy way to separate them. this is opposed to the deck of cards that would be easy to demix if you shuffled it.
From my feeling as a native these two words can be interchanged quite frequently without a drastic change. So if someone told me "ich vermische die Karten" I would not feel compelled to correct him ;-)
share|improve this answer
Very good points about the irreversibility, but "ich vermische die Karten" for a professional act of shuffling feels very wrong. – Phira Apr 24 '14 at 23:58
I agree it is not the really right thing, however if someone would say that I would not feel compelled to correct him in the same way as if he said "ich vermenge die Karten" for example. Also if you say "ich vermische die roten mit den grünen Karten" it would feel right again, wouldn't you say? – Magellan88 Apr 25 '14 at 8:56
"Kannst du die Karten noch einmal mischen, damit Herz und Treff besser vermischt werden?" would sound alright. – Phira Apr 25 '14 at 23:42
Yes that's sounds exactly right to me. Just note that treff is usually Kreuz in German (I know people playing bridge usually use the French words) – Magellan88 Apr 26 '14 at 11:31
Karten vermischen? Nope! Da VERwechselst du wohl etwas. – DisplayName Apr 28 '14 at 15:14
mischen - shuffle (bring chaos into some order) vermischen - mix together (mix more than one substance together) Gemisch - Mixture - mixture of more than one component (fertig) gemischt - done mixing something (fertig) vermischt - done mixing two or more components
Yes! Der Mischvorgang ist beendet. No! Der Vermischvorgang ist beendet.
mischen --> generally increasing the entropy somewhere
vermischen --> mixing two or more things of different character together

There is ample evidence from different research disciplines that location factors such as employment opportunities or the availability of amenities and facilities are a powerful predictor of settlement behaviour. Recent research suggests that citizens' mean personality traits could be an additional predictor of where young people settle. We therefore explore 1) the extent to which recent graduates in the Netherlands are geographically clustered with respect to five different personality traits, 2) whether the geographical clustering of graduates is intensified as they grow older, 3) how regional environmental characteristics are related to personality traits, and 4) the extent to which personality traits play a role in graduates' location choices. Our results reveal a distinct geographical clustering of personality traits among the different regions in the Netherlands. We also show that this geographical clustering becomes more blurred as graduates age. The results furthermore show robust associations between personality traits and several environmental characteristics with respect to demographic, economic, health, political, sociocultural, crime, and religious outcomes. In addition, we show that personality traits play a role in graduates' location choices. Economic factors seem to have a larger impact in determining location choices than personality traits.

let _ = DrawerView(blurStyle:.light, superView: view)
By default the DrawerView will include a visual indicator called LineArrow. LineArrow is an indicator that decorates the view and helps a user with interaction. You can change the properties of the indicator by setting its height, width and color:
let _ = DrawerView(lineArrow: (height: 8, width: 82, color:.black), superView: view)
// Or you can set 'nil' in order to turn the indicator off
You can change the behavior of the component when a device is rotated. By default the DrawerView will not be closed when a device is rotated. However, you can change this behavior:
drawerView.closeOnRotation = true
You can programmatically change the state of the component:
drawerView.change(state:.open, shouldAnimate: true)
By default, interactions with the child views don't affect the DrawerView anyhow. However, you can change this behavior and allow the DrawerView to be dismissed when one of the child views are interacted:
drawerView.closeOnChildViewTaps = true
There is an animation closure that is used to animate the external components alongside with the DrawerView:
drawerView.animationClosure = { state in
 switch state {
 case.open:
 someOtherView.alpha = 1.0
 case.closed:
 someOtherView.alpha = 0.0
You can optionally specify a completion closure that gets called when animation is completed:
drawerView.completionClosure = { state in
 switch state {
 case.open:
 case.closed:
The third and final callback closure can be used to get DrawerViewstate changes:
drawerView.onStateChangeClosure = { state in
 state ==.closed? showDialog() : doNothing()
Also there are many other properties that be customized:
drawerView.cornerRadius = 60
drawerView.animationDuration = 2.5
drawerView.animationDampingRatio = 0.9
drawerView.shadowRadius = 0.25
drawerView.shadowOpacity = 0.132

Slurry sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric determination of palladium in water using biosorption with inactive baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Inactive cells of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were used for palladium preconcentration. The conditions for biosorption of palladium and its determination in yeast cells by slurry electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) were optimised. The best sensitivity of measurements and stability of slurry were obtained by using a mechanical agitation (10 minutes) and a mixture of 0.3 mol l−1 thiourea – 1 mol l−1 HCl – 0.5% Triton X-100 as suspension medium. The repeatability of the measurements of Pd in yeast slurry was 6.5% (n = 10). For the quantification of analyte in spiked water samples, the standard addition method was used.

How to Encrypt an Unencrypted RDS DB Instance
Lab Details
 1. This lab walks you through the steps to create an unencrypted instance with the Encrypt option.
 2. You will practice this lab by not enabling the encryption of DB Instance while creating.
 3. Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes
 1. Amazon RDS can encrypt your Amazon RDS DB Instances.
 2. When the encrypt option is enabled for the AWS RDS Resources, we are able to encrypt DB Instances, Automated Backups, Read replicas, Snapshots and Logs.
 3. Amazon RDS encrypted DB instances use the AES-256 encryption algorithm to encrypt your data on the server that hosts your Amazon RDS DB instances.
 4. The Encrypt option can be enabled only when you are launching the DB instance, it cannot be enabled after launch. However, copies of unencrypted snapshots can be encrypted.
Task Details
 1. Log into AWS Management Console.
 2. Create an Amazon RDS DB Instance (without enabling encrypt option).
 3. Take a snapshot from an existing DB Instance.
 4. Make a copy of the snapshot and encrypt it.
 5. Restore DB Instance from the encrypted snapshot.
 6. Change the name of the original DB Instance.
 7. Change the name of the Restored DB Instance to the original DB Instance name.
 8. Delete the original RDS Instance and snapshot.
 9. Validation of the lab.
Architecture Diagram
Case Study
 1. Suppose we have created an RDS DB Instance without enabling the encryption. As days passed by the project became bigger and began to store more sensitive data.
 2. As you are quite aware of security issues, you wanted to check on the AWS console that your database was well encrypted.
 3. Your database was totally Unencrypted. And when you check to encrypt the database, you have no option to encrypt the database.

Planting a Tree Ceremony.jpg
Planting a Tree Ceremony
The unity tree planting ceremony can be used to symbolize the joining together of two individuals or the joining of two families.
You set up a separate table, on which you will place a potted tree/sapling (something perhaps with special meaning to the couple). If you choose to have the ceremony symbolize the joining together of both families' then upon the entrance of the mothers, each mother goes to the table and scoops in a small amount of dirt. Then they take their seats. During a specific reading or song, the couple will each add the rest of dirt and water the plant together. After the ceremony, the couple should plant the tree in a special location to symbolize the putting down of roots, longevity and strengths in their marriage.

This study presents a new bond model based on the deterioration mechanisms observed during uniaxial tensile tests of reinforced concrete prismatic specimens subjected to freeze-thaw cycles. The test results demonstrated that the bond stress reduced, even though the specimens were exposed only to temperature fluctuation without the damage in concrete cover. The proposed model considers the bond deterioration mechanism caused by the temperature fluctuation in addition to the damage in concrete cover. Finally, the proposed model shows good agreement with the test results regardless of the dominant deterioration mechanism.

"The Best Poster on the Advantages of Rainwater Harvesting"
The Raindrops Geneva Award is an art competition organised by the IRHA to promote Rainwater Harvesting and to increase public awareness on the importance of this topic.
For the fourth edition of this competition we looked for posters that illustrate the uses and/or benefits of rainwater harvesting.
The International Rainwater Harvesting Alliance is pleased to announce that the jury, chaired by Mr. Christian Rümelin (Chief Curator, Graphic Arts Department of the Arts and History Museum, Geneva) and made up of Mr. Jérôme Baratelli (Head, Visual Communication Department, HEAD Art & Design School, Geneva), Mr. André Klopmann (Vice Secretary, Chancellerie, Geneva), Mr. Alain Dick (IRHA, President) and Ms. Vessela Monta (IRHA, Executive Director), have now reached a decision and selected the three posters that best illustrate the uses and benefits of rainwater [cf. Rules of the Competition].
With over 750 submissions of very high quality entered from 77 different countries, selecting just three posters was not an easy task. All posters were reviewed carefully following a set of criteria specified in the Rules of the Competition and supplemented by the jury:
- The force and artistic value of the message, including technical and aesthetic considerations;
- The expression of the advantages of rainwater harvesting for mankind and nature;
- The pertinence of the presented experiences/examples of rainwater harvesting;
- The format: graphically speaking does this submission work as a poster.
The selection process was conducted as follows:
- All posters were saved anonymously* into one file.
- Out of all posters, 125 posters were preselected, using the above mentioned criteria. Any posters not matching the requirements stated in the Rules of the Competition were automatically excluded.
- The Jury discussed the remaining 125 posters: the jury reviewed the posters left in the competition and were able to reduce this figure by selecting those that stood out round after round. After long hours of debate, the overall number of 750 posters was reduced to just 15. It was decided that all 15 posters would be printed and presented at the Raindrops Geneva Awards 2013 Exhibition that will be held for a week on 21st March 2014 in the World Famous Courtyard of the Geneva Town Hall, with the support of the Republique et Canton de Genève.
- Selection of the three winning posters: A handful of posters clearly stood out and were voted on by the members of the jury. Each member of the jury was allowed three votes. The winning posters were those that received the majority of votes.
IRHA congratulates the following three winners:
1st Prize (1'000 CHF): Kateryna Korniienko-Heidtman for "Rainwater Use for Life"
2nd Prize (600 CHF): Eva Kay Norrington for "Smallest of Gestures"
3rd Prize (400 CHF): Jason Holmes for "0.3%".
The authors of the 13 posters shortlisted for the exhibition also deserve a huge congratulation:
- Nelu Wolfensohn for "Rain Drops, Life Drops"
- Francesca Reinero for "Rainwater is a free asset, use it"
- Anna Zima for "Life in every Drop"
- Pash Bolshakov for "The Perspective"
- Seyyedmehdi Mousavi for "Efficiency"
- David Walton for "Raindrops"
- Charlie O'Connell for "Rainwater Harvesting can turn your Life Around"
- Mikolaj Dobrucki for "Lower Price – Better Quality"
- Svetlana Tarasova for "Save Rainwater for your Washer"
- Tanya Krendel for "Raindrops create the Life Around Us"
- Zuzanna Chanska for "Water your Life with Rain"
- Marc Baker for "Baker_01".
[Photo Gallery of all 15 posters]
Finally, IRHA would like to say a special word of thank you to all the Arts Schools, Universities and Colleges who not only took part in the competition but fully integrated this contest into their syllabus.
With the Support of:
*All posters were kept anonymous throughout the selection process. The names of the authors of the three winning posters were revealed to the members of the jury only after the final selection had been made.

What is the origin of the phrase shit-eating grin? How did it come to mean showing smugness or self-satisfaction of an individual's actions?
From the Urban Dictionary:
...these uses are documented in the Oxford English Dictionary no earlier than 1957
There have been similar expressions used quite far back:
In Book XXI of his History of Rome, Livy describes a Carthaginian sect of coprophages, the risus faecivorus, or shit-eating grin, being commonly displayed by its adherents.
Although, its origin is undetermined, they may have been incidents which caused the invention of this phrase. Below is an excerpt:
"1944 Jrnl. Nerv. & Mental Dis. XCIX. 959 Among demented patients in advanced stages of their illness,..it is not rare to see some of them grasp their own feces, chew them and eat them often with great pleasure and satisfaction (coprophagia).
 - I can recall, about 40 years ago, hearing some nurses who worked at a hospital for mentally disabled discuss various traits of patients, including the eating of feces. So there may indeed be a literal connection. – Hot Licks Mar 6 at 23:07
 - The quote about Livy XXI is pure hogwash -- you shouldn't believe everything you read in the Urban Dictionary! – Gareth Rees Mar 18 at 15:35
The phrase in slang dictionaries
The earliest slang dictionary coverage of the expression that I've been able to find is from Robert Chapman, New Dictionary of American Slang (1986), which offers this entry:
shit-eating grin n phr An expression of satisfaction; a gloating look: Go ahead, sit there with that shit-eating grin on your face—Earl Thompson/ stood there with a smug shiteating grin on his face—Fingered City
Nine years later, Robert Chapman & Barbara Kipfer, Dictionary of American Slang, third edition (1995) changes that basic definition only slightly:
shit-eating (or turd-eating) grin n phr by 1960s An expression of smug satisfaction; a stupid gloating look: [citations omitted]
Jonathon Green, Chambers Slang Dictionary (2008) provides a similar interpretation:
shit-eating grin n. (also cat-eating grin, crud-eating grin, shit-eating smile) {[from] shit-eating [1940s+, "1 a general term of disparagement 2 sly, duplicitous 3 toadying, subservient"} {1950s+} (orig. US) a smug, self-satisfied smile.
On the other hand, Tom Dalzell & Terry Victor, The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (2006) counters with this rather different entry:
shit-eating grin noun a broad smile, ingratiating and unctuous US, 1957 [Citations omitted.]
The Earl Thompson quotation in Chapman's 1986 dictionary seems likely to come from his novel A Garden of Sand (1971), while The Fingered City (1975) is a book by Denison Hatch. If these dates are correct, neither instance that Chapman cites is particularly close to the earliest reported occurrences in print of "shit-eating grin."
Early instances of'shit-eating grin' and allied phrases, 1957–1961
The earliest confirmed matches for the phrase that I've been able to find in various database searches are from the period 1957–1961. I think it's worthwhile to consider several less taboo versions of the expression from this same period, since these may be instances of censorship-enforced euphemism. Readers can judge for themselves whether these are in fact euphemisms or simply weakly related (or totally unrelated) similar-looking phrases.
From Len Giovannitti, The Prisoners of Combine D (1957) [combined snippets]:
Both men looked up from their potato-peeling job as Bob Rawlins came into the combine and sat down on the bench opposite. He had a a queer grin on his face and Storch and Zukerman knew he was set to spring the latest rumor. Rawlins was the hottest fighter pilot ever born; he was also from Texas. Everybody knew this two seconds after meeting him; and three seconds after meeting him, everyone knew he was the biggest liar ever born. He loved rumors, good or bad, and spent his days living on each new one he heard or could dream up.
"Okay, what's the shit-eating grin for? What's up now?" Storch asked, winking at Zukerman.
Rawlins kept the grin. "You mean you ain't heard?"
"No, we ain't heard, so tell us before you choke," Storch said.
The expression here could very well mean "self-satisfied grin," although it is not altogether clear what sort of "queer grin" the author actually imagines is playing on the character's face. It seems entirely possible that the aspect of the grin that the author is focusing on in this passage is its artificiality, unnaturalness, or forcedness.
From Gene Brown, The Locust Fire (1957) [combined snippets]:
"'Hold up there, Tom," says Pappy.
"The colonel stops like he's been shot in the back. He's a damn fine figure of a man, especially in the dress pinks, with them squared-off shoulders. 'Well?' he says.
" Old Pappy walks around in front of him. I guess the colonel got a good whiff of the juice, because he kind of sways back on his heels. But Pappy steps up close, with a big dirt-eating grin on his face, and starts running his hands up and down the lapels. Then he flicks a little imaginary dust off the colonel's epaulets and moves back a pace. "That's a real pretty suit, Tom,' he says. 'Ain't it a pity all these poor hungry boys here can't be wearing one just like it?'"
Whatever the "dirt-eating grin" looks like here, a grin of satisfaction or gloating doesn't fit the context particularly well. Pappy is drunk, so his grin may be good-humored in a sloshed way, or it may be simply goofy, or it may be inappropriately familiar. Certainly, his conduct is insubordinate and highly offensive to the colonel.
From Hubert Selby, Last Exit to Brooklyn (1957):
He [Spook] picked up a old police bike for few bucks and fixed it up. You know, threw some paint on it and stole a wildass buddyseat all covered with fur and chrome, and was fulla piss and vinegar ta go. We toldim ta play it cool and relax and celebrate Tommys marriage. But he flipped when someone tried ta get that goddamn hat off his head so we said OK, wed go downstairs and look at his bike. So we looked. Big deal. Yaknow, when the cops is finished with a bike, man, its had it. But it was a bike and it moved. I think that sonofabitch woulda used it even if he had ta push it or pedal it like a kiddy car. So he kicks it over after 5 minutes and we listen to it cough and miss and Spook went puttin off with a shiteatin grin on his face and we went back up stairs and a few minutes later he comes back. Smilin all over the goddamn place and the strap of his hat under his chin. I tellya man, it was a pissa.
This is may be the 1957 quotation that most sources have in mind when they date "shit-eating grin" to 1957, although it is not the only instance from that year (as noted bove). Still, the sense of the phrase aligns reasonably well with the definition in Dalzell & Victor: "a broad smile, ingratiating and unctuous"—with the "broad smile" part, anyway.
From Evan Hunter, Strangers When We Met (1958):
Altar was smiling, but the smile was a crud-eating one, and Larry's years in the service had taught him to recognize the crud-eating grin and to know what it usually preceded. He felt himself stiffening.
"Sit down," Altar said. "Want a drink?"
"No." Belatedly, he added. "Thanks."
"Well, sit down anyway."
"Sure." Larry sat in the easy chair to the left of the bar unit, facing the blue couch upon which Altar still sprawled.
"I don't like to do this," Altar said. "I don't like it when it's done to me, and Christ knows it's done often enough. But I think there's a difference here, and if I'm wrong I'll apologize. Can I talk to you like man, Larry? Or do I have to give you the schmaltz?"
Here, the "crud-eating grin" seems to be a kind of grimace of forced conviviality preceding the imparting of bad news (in this case, the bad news is that Altar thinks that Larry's rough sketches "stink").
From Thomas Williams, Town Burning (1959):
"...A man killed my dog, that's all I know! Daisy, she was the sweetest little dog you ever see. She never hurt nobody, except rabbits. She was all hell on rabbits. Shot forty rabbits front of Daisy one year. I damn near lived on rabbits that year. You ought to heard Daisy on

Power flushing is a technique used to clear sludge from central heating system pipes, radiators, coils and heat exchangers. These are areas where scale and corrosion can collect, the symptoms are usually:
- Cold spots on radiators, even after bleeding
- Takes a long time for radiators to warm up
- Noisy boiler
- Radiators needing regular bleeding
- Inefficient central heating system
Once a power flush is complete, you can expect the following benefits:
- Pipes and radiators will get hotter quicker
- More cost efficient system
- Less stress on the boiler
- Increased life of the boiler
- Heat will be distributed more evenly throughout the home
Central heating boilers can fail early if there is excessive sludge in the system, modern condensing boilers are much more sensitive so it's recommended to have a full system flush before installing a new boiler. There is no point in paying for an expensive piece of kit that may fail early because of excessive sludge build up in the system!
You should also check the guarantee on any new boiler as most manufacturers will not accept a claim if the system hasn't been recently power flushed.


How To Hard Reset iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus (Guide)
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have a different kind of home button. Even though the home button looks the same, it is actually not a mechanical button like the one found on previous models. Instead of having an actual click, it gives an illusion of a click when users presses the button with a vibration effect. Thanks to iPhone 7's Taptic engine the vibration 'almost' feels like a normal click. Because iPhone 7 does not have a traditional button Apple has changed the way we can hard reset iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus. The new way is as simple as it was before and involves user pressing two buttons at the same time. In this post we will show you how you can hard reset an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus in case your device gets stuck etc.
Tutorial For iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus Hard Reset
In order to hard reset your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus follow the simple steps below.
Step 1: Hold your iPhone 7 in such a way that you can press the power and volume down buttons at the same time.
Step 2: Once you are comfortable press and hold the Power button and the Volume down buttons at the same time.
Step 3: Keep the buttons pressed as the screen turns off.
Step 4: Let go of the buttons as soon as you see the Apple logo.
The turning off of the screen and appearance of the Apple logo means you have successfully hard resetted your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus. This new way of iPhone hard reset might take a while to get used, however this change is for the better. Since both the buttons you are supposed to press are on either sides of the device, this makes it easier for users to press them together with one hand only.
Let us know what you think of this new hard reset method in the comments section below.

Lead Shot vs. Steel Shot
In more and more areas, laws require waterfowl hunters to use steel shot rather than the traditional (and toxic) lead shot. But even if given the option, many hunters are confused by the distinction. In this article we hope to clear it up.
lead shot, steel shot - #4 steel and #4 lead cartridges
Steel shot (left), is slightly larger than lead shot (right).
lead shot, steel shot - geese in flight
From the standpoint of a goose encountering them as projectiles, lead shot and steel shot are about the same. But only lead shot contaminates the environment afterwards, if it fails to find its mark.

Is it possible to execute scripts or a list of commands through a text file on a Domino server?
You can create a text file that lists the commands you would like to execute on the Domino server. The commands which you can include can be anything that can be typed at the server's console. To load the script you must use the < command (less-than symbol), followed by a blank space, and then the name of the text file you created. For example, if you need to execute these commands:
you can create a file called F:\MYFILE.TXT, and within this text file, enter the commands that are to be executed. After you save the.TXT file, enter the following at the Domino server console:
If there is more than one command in the.TXT file, they will be executed in the order in which they appear in the.TXT file.
All commands in the.TXT file could be encapsulated with
start consolelog
in the first line and in the last line
stop consolelog
to write the output into the console.log file.
Note: "stop consolelog" will close any logging launched manually or by CONSOLE_LOG_ENABLED=1 in notes.ini.

L86 Dimmer Modules BTU Dissipation
Heat dissipation in ETC dimmer racks is relatively simple to calculate. Use the following table to calculate either watts per dimmer or BTUs per dimmer, them multiply that number by the number of dimmers in the rack. Note that the watt and BTU figures shown below apply to single dimmer, not dimmer modules. (A module contains more than one dimmer)

Let $G$ be any countable discrete group, and $H_1, H_2$ be two subgroups of $G$ with some fixed finite index $m>1$.
My question is:
Is it always possible to find some automorphism $\phi$ of $G$, i.e., $\phi\in Aut(G)$, such that $\phi(H_1)=H_2$?
If not, could any one give some counterexample to illustrate this? Thanks in advance!

Nope: let $G=C_4\times V_4\times\mathbb Z$, where $C_4$ is the cyclic group of order $4$ and $V_4$ is the Klein $4$-group. Let $H_1=C_4\times\{e\}\times\mathbb Z$ and $H_2=\{e\}\times V_4\times\mathbb Z$. Both subgroups have index $4$, but they aren't isomorphic.

So we can take two non-isomorphic finite groups $G_1, G_2$, of the same order $n$S and a take an infinite group $H$, and consider $G=H\times G_1\times G_2$. Then $H_1=G\times G_1, H_2=G\times G_2$ may work generalizing your idea. – P Vanchinathan Mar 21 at 1:15
_USER_ It depends. Using your notation, if $H$ is a direct sum of countably many copies of $G_1\times G_2$, then $G_1\times H$ is isomorphic to $G_2\times H$ after all. In my example, there is no such accidental isomorphism, since $C_4\times\{e\}\times\mathbb Z$ has an element of order $4$, and $\{e\}\times V_4\times\mathbb Z$ doesn't. – Chris Culter Mar 21 at 1:25
The dihedral group of order 8 has a subgroup isomorphic to the cyclic group of order 4, and has a subroup isomorphic to the Klein group. Both subgroups have index 2 but are non-isomorphic since the first has an element of order 4 but the second does not. No smaller order group G can be found as a counterexample since a nontrivial subgroup of such a G would have order 2 or order 3.

Dihedral group G of order 8 also has two subgroups of order 2 with no automorphism of G taking one to the other (take one central, and one not). – Jack Schmidt Mar 21 at 1:57
Take $m\mathbf{Z}, n\mathbf{Z}\subset \mathbf{Z}$. As isomorphisms have to send generator to generator we get conflicting requirement $\phi(1)=\pm1, \phi(m)= \pm n $. So your question has a negative answer.

They don't have the same index though – Bruno Joyal Mar 21 at 1:05
OOps, I looked at the title and was misled. My answer is incorrect. – P Vanchinathan Mar 21 at 1:11

Dual Purpose Cutting Head
This coke-cutting procedure involves the use of a combination coke-cutting/drilling tool made by Pacific Pumps (Dresser Industries), as shown in Figure 2-12. This cutting head is currently in use in a large minority of U.S. cokers. The Worthington dual-purpose cutting head was found to be impractical and is no longer available.
The head permits switching from the pilot bit mode to the cutting mode, using the same head. Switching is a five-minute manual operation.
The tool design has jet nozzles that create a tighter stream of water that maintains its energy at the wall of large-diameter coke drums. The nozzle concentrates the power from the jet pump and provides a sharper hydraulic jet of water to more effectively cut the coke.
One operator reported that the combination head reduced the cutting time (time from completion of pilot drilling to the time the jet pump is stopped) from 2.5 hours using another bit design, to about 1.6 hours with the combination bit.
When cutting soft, fuel-grade coke or shot coke from a large-diameter drum, and utilizing a high-discharge-pressure jet pump, the main impediment to rapid coke cutting is coke cave-in which can bind the drill stem.
The following drilling and cutting procedure is designed to be used with the combination cutting head to help reduce the cave-in problem and increase the speed with which the coke can be removed from the drum:
- Drill the pilot hole while gradually lowering the stem at a rate of approximately 10 ft/min. A maximum drill stem rotational speed of 15-20 rpm is recommended to create a pilot hole diameter of about 2.5 ft at the top of the coke bed. Do not cut coke out of the bottom cone.
- After the pilot hole is completed, stop the drilling unit and oil the pneumatic motor.
- Withdraw the drill stem with the flow of cutting water stopped. Remember that the top 5-10 ft of the coke bed is like sand and can easily collapse, jamming the drill stem. This can be prevented by careful removal of the stem and by avoiding undercutting the soft coke layer. Undercutting can be prevented by carefully enlarging the pilot hole by running the cutting head down again.
- Switch the combination cutting tool from the pilot drilling mode to the cutting mode by applying air pressure to a fitting on the combination tool and observing the position of a 1 -in. steel pin (refer to manufacturer's instructions).
- Open a 3- or 4-in. water connection located under the drum-relief valve to allow quench water to suppress the evolution of steam from the top head of the drum. This will improve the operator's visibility when the tool mode is switched.
- Adjust the drill stem motor to rotate at a rate of 8-10 rpm and begin coke cutting.
- As cutting progresses, observe the size of the coke lumps leaving the drum. Control the vertical speed of the drill stem so that the lumps leaving the drum are about fist size. Increase the vertical speed if the lump size increases, and decrease the speed if the lumps get smaller. Controlling the lump size is important to avoid cave-ins that result in bottom-head plugging.
- The first pass of the cutting head should enlarge the pilot hole to 4-5 ft in diameter at the top of the coke bed (with water flowing on both the downstroke and the upstroke).
- Make two more passes with the drill stem turning at 8-10 rpm. After the third pass, the level of coke in the drum will be reduced by about 20 ft. This means that, to save time, the cutting head should not be raised to the original starting point after each pass. Gauging the residual level of coke in the drum can be done by observing the evolution of steam from the top head. If no coke is being cut and no coke is falling through the drum, steam evolution will increase. Experienced operators can also note the sound of water striking the metal sides of the drum, indicating coke has been removed from that level in the drum.
- The fourth and subsequent passes should be made with the drill stem readjusted to rotate at 6-8 rpm. Reducing the head rotation speed keeps the tangential velocity of the water jet at the coke interface at a relatively constant value as the coke wall approaches the drum wall.
- In a typical operation, four to six more passes will be required to fully remove the remaining coke. Each of these remaining passes will take about 10-12 minutes.
- After the last cutting pass, a tough ring of coke, several feet high and several feet above the bottom of the drum, will adhere to the drum wall. This can be removed using the high-energy jets of the combination tool. This generally takes only a few minutes. With other head types, this layer has to be removed by grinding.
The procedure depends on a good source of clarified water supply to the cutting head and frequent inspection of the cutting nozzles for wear.
The procedure will reduce cutting time for large coke drums making primarily fuel-grade coke. Field experience indicates that the procedure can decoke drums containing up to 1,000 tons of green coke in about two hours.

Topic: Python, arduino and stepper motor won't work (Read 1 time) previous topic - next topic
I have a problem for driving a stepper motor out of python(blender). The stepper should make the same rotation as cube in Blender3D. I'm using Blender 2.63, Pyserial 2.6, Arduino Mega2560, a big easy driver and a 1A stepper motor with 200 steps.
Python code:
Code: [Select]
import bpy
import math
from math import degrees
import serial
ser = serial.Serial('COM5',115200,timeout=1)
def my_handler(scene):
 data = ''
 eulx = bpy.data.objects['Cube'].rotation_euler
 x = degrees(eulx.y)
 a = (x/360)*200
 data = bytes([int(a)])
Arduino code:
Code: [Select]
_TAG_
int motorSpeed = 115200;
int motorAccel = 8000;
int motorDirPin = 9;
int motorStepPin = 8;
AccelStepper stepper(1, motorStepPin, motorDirPin);
void setup(){
 pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(6, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(7, OUTPUT);
 digitalWrite(5, LOW);
 digitalWrite(6, LOW);
 digitalWrite(7, LOW);
int num;
void loop()
 if (stepper.distanceToGo() == 0)
 num = Serial.read();
When I try this, the shaft moves and immediately moves back to its origin position. When I replace the "num" in the arduino code for testing, everything works fine (the shaft moves half of a full rotation).
Has anybody an idea why this could happen?
Thank you very much!
What does the data you are writing out the serial port look like? Is it a byte or integer or string? Are you processing it correctly at the Arduino end? It sonds sort of like the motor is turning back to the ZERO position.
thank you for trying to help me. The output for the example above is:
Code: [Select]
>>>data = ''
>>>x = 180
>>>a = (x/360)*200
>>>data = bytes([int(a)])
So b'd' is the data sent. This works perfectly for my servos....
Any idea why it won't work on the steppers?
Thank you
Hello! could well turn the engine?
I want to move a stepper motor from Blender and not how.
Never call Serial.read() unless you have first checked that there is a character available using
Serial.available() > 0....
[ I won't respond to messages, use the forum please ]
I think that the problem has to do with datatypes. Let's look at the Python code:
Code: [Select]
x = 180
a = (x/360)*200
x is an integer with the value 180. In the next line you divide the integer 180 with the integer 360 which becomes the integer 0 as it's rounded down, multiplied with 200 is still 0.
Change the code to:
Code: [Select]
x = 180
a = (x/360.0)*200.0
and the computation will be a floating point computation. You could also make explicitly convert x to floating point like so:
Code: [Select]
x = 180
a = (float(x)/360)*200
and still get the expected result.

In this paper, a systematic group contribution based framework is presented for synthesis of process flowsheets from a given set of input and output specifications. Analogous to the group contribution methods developed for molecular design, the framework employs process groups to represent different unit operations in the system. Feasible flowsheet configurations are generated using efficient combinatorial algorithms and the performance of each candidate flowsheet is evaluated using a set of flowsheet properties. A systematic notation system called SFILES is used to store the structural information of each flowsheet to minimize the computational load and information storage. The design variables for the selected flowsheet(s) are identified through a reverse simulation approach and are used as initial estimates for rigorous simulation to verify the feasibility and performance of the design.

5 tricks to eliminate render blocking resources
8 min read 2326
5 Tricks to Eliminate Render Blocking Resources
Render blocking resources are static files, such as fonts, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files, that are vital to the process of rendering a web page. When the browser encounters a render blocking resource, it stops downloading the rest of the resources until these critical files are processed. In the meantime, the entire rendering process is put on hold. On the other hand, non-render blocking resources don't postpone the rendering of the page. The browser can safely download them in the background after the initial page render.
However, not all resources that the browser deems render blocking are essential for the first paint; it all depends on the individual characteristics of the page. There are best practices you can use to turn these noncritical render blocking resources into non-render blocking ones. Besides, you can also decrease the number and/or size of render blocking resources that are still critical and can't be eliminated.
Why eliminate render blocking resources?
If you reduce the number of render blocking resources, you can shorten the critical rendering path and reduce page load times, thus improving the user experience and search engine optimization.
There are three ways to reduce the number and impact of render blocking resources:
 1. Make them non-render blocking resources by deferring their download
 2. Decrease the total number of render blocking resources using techniques such as bundling (this also means fewer HTTP requests)
 3. Reduce the size of a resource via minification so that the page has fewer bytes to load
Types of render blocking resources
As a rule of thumb, the browser treats everything it finds in the section of an HTML page as render blocking. This includes:
 - CSS stylesheets
 - JavaScript files added in the section
 - Fonts added from either CDN or a local server
 - HTML imports (even though HTML imports are now obsolete, you might still encounter them on legacy pages)
Images, media files, and tags placed at the bottom of the <body> section are treated as non-render blocking resources.
Now let's zoom in on five strategies to eliminate or reduce the number and impact of render blocking resources.
1. Don't add CSS with the _USER_ rule
You can add CSS to a page using either:
 - The <link rel="stylesheet"> tag that you need to add to your HTML file
 - The _USER_ rule that you need to add to your CSS file
Even though the _USER_ rule keeps your HTML file cleaner and allows you to keep all your CSS dependencies in the same place, it's not the best choice performance-wise. The _USER_ rule lets you import CSS from other stylesheets, but this causes the browser to process your CSS file more slowly because it also has to download the imported files. Until this takes place, the rendering process will be blocked.
If you want to add more than one CSS file to your page, you can either use the <link> tag or concatenate the files using a minification and/or bundling tool.
We made a custom demo for.
No really. Click here to check it out.
You need to add the <link> element to the <head> section of the HTML page in the following way:
2. Use the media attribute for conditional CSS
By default, the browser treats all CSS files as render blocking resources. However, if you add the media attribute to the <link> tag, you can indicate the presence of a conditional CSS file to the browser.
Conditional CSS only applies under certain conditions, such as below or above a given viewport size or on a print page. With the media attribute, you can define a specific media condition for a CSS file. You can use any value that you would use for a media query in a CSS file. For example:
<link href="large.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen and (min-width: 1500px)">
Even though these files are still download on all devices, they become non-render blocking resources if the condition evaluates as false. However, they will still be render blocking if the condition evaluates as true.
For instance, the mobile.css stylesheet in the above example will be render blocking on mobile devices with a maximum viewport width of 600px and non-render blocking on viewports larger than 600px.
If you have an existing CSS file with one or more media queries, you can extract all _USER_ rules and save them as separate files using this PostCSS plugin. This performance optimization technique is also called code splitting. Although code splitting is usually mentioned in conjunction with JavaScript, you can also split larger CSS files and load each file only when needed to shorten the critical rendering path and decrease initial page load times.
3. Use the defer and async attributes to eliminate render blocking JavaScript
JavaScript files added to the <head> section of the document are treated as render blocking resources by default.
You can remove them from the critical rendering path by placing the <script> tags right before the closing </body> tag instead of the <head> section. In this case, they only begin to download after the entire HTML has been downloaded. However, because the download of these scripts starts later, elements loaded by them, such as ads, animations, or dynamic functionalities, might load later than the rest of the frontend — especially if it's a longer script. This can result in noticeable delays and lagging UIs on slower connections, which is bad for the user experience.
The defer and async attributes of the <script> tag offer a solution to this problem. Both are Boolean attributes which means that if you add them, they will fire without any further configuration. They also make scripts added to the <head> section of an HTML document non-render blocking, but in a different way — deferred scripts respect the document order while asynchronous scripts are independent of the DOM.
The defer attribute instructs the browser to download the script in the background so it won't block the rendering of the page. The deferred script executes once the DOM is ready but before the DOMContentLoaded event fires.
<script src="script01.js" defer>
Deferred scripts follow the document order, just like nondeferred, default scripts. For example, in the above example, script01.js will be executed first, irrespective of which script loads first. You can't add defer to inline scripts; it only works with external scripts that specify the script's location using the src attribute.
On the other hand, the async attribute informs the browser that a script is completely independent of the page. It will download in the background as a non-render blocking resource, just like deferred scripts. However, unlike deferred scripts, async scripts don't follow the document order, so they will execute whenever they finish downloading — which can happen at any time.
For instance, in the below example, we can't be sure which script will run first; it solely depends on which downloads faster (usually the smaller one). Remember, async scripts are independent of both the document and each other, so the document order won't impact them in any way.
The defer attribute is recommended for scripts that need the DOM, but you want to begin to download them before the document loads, without making them a render blocking resource. You should also use defer rather than async if the document order is important — for instance, when consecutive scripts depend on each other.
The async attribute is recommended for independent third-party scripts, such as ads, trackers, and analytics scripts. For example, Google Analytics recommends adding the async attribute to support asynchronous loading in modern browsers.
4. Minify and bundle CSS and JavaScript
In addition to removing nonessential CSS and JavaScript from the critical rendering path, you can also minify and bundle both render blocking and non-render blocking resources.
For instance, you can create bundles for files that use the same loading rules and minify each bundle separately. Since minified files are lighter and bundles mean fewer files in the critical rendering path, initial page rendering will finish sooner. Plus, it will also take less time to download non-render blocking resources in the background.
There are numerous tools available to help you perform minification and bundling according to best practices, including Minify, CSS Minifier, Minify Code, and PostCSS. Build tools such as webpack, Parcel, and Rollup come with built-in minification, bundling, and code splitting functionalities that enable you to quickly reduce the number of render blocking resources.
5. Load custom fonts locally
Since custom fonts are called from the section of the document, they are also render blocking resources. For instance:

You can reduce the impact of custom fonts on initial page rendering by adding them locally rather than pulling them from a content delivery network such as Google CDN. Font providers tend to add multiple _USER_-face rules, many of which you won't need.
For example, Google Fonts add _USER_-face rules for all the character sets a typeface comes with, such as Latin, Cyrillic, Chinese, Vietnamese, and others. Let's say, for instance, that the online CSS file you add with the tag includes _USER_-face rules for seven different character sets, but you only want to use one (e.g., Latin). However, Google Fonts don't download the font files for all the character sets; they just add many redundant _USER_-face rules to the CSS file.
If you add fonts


Maximum medical improvement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Maximum medical improvement (MMI) occurs when an injured employee reaches a state where his or her condition cannot be improved any further or when a treatment plateau in a person's healing process is reached. It can mean that the patient has fully recovered from the injury or that the patient's medical condition has stabilized to the point that no major medical or emotional change can be expected in the injured workers' condition. At that point, no further healing or improvement is deemed possible and this occurs despite continuing medical treatment or rehabilitative programs the injured worker partakes in. When a worker who is receiving Workers' Compensation benefits reaches maximum medical improvement, his or her condition is assessed and a degree of permanent or partial impairment is determined. This degree will impact the amount of benefits the worker is able to receive.
Maximum medical improvement means that treatment options have been exhausted. Temporary disability payments are terminated and a settlement is worked out regarding the condition of the worker at this point.

In archaeology a postpipe (or post pipe) is the term given to the remains of an upright timber placed in a posthole. Given the right conditions, timbers may survive over long periods of time and a recovered postpipe can simply be of solid wood. Under less preservative conditions however, only a dark circular stain of organic material may be left in the fill of the posthole observable in plan and section. This differs in consistency from the less organic backfill of the posthole and can be identified simply through this change in make-up. The size and depth and of the postpipe can provide information as to any reuse of the posthole especially if several different postpipes can be identified. They can also indicate the species of wood used and help suggest the nature of the structure that the timber once supported.

How economic, humanitarian, and religious concerns shape European attitudes toward asylum seekers
What types of asylum seekers are Europeans willing to accept? We conducted a conjoint experiment asking 18,000 eligible voters in 15 European countries to evaluate 180,000 profiles of asylum seekers that randomly varied on nine attributes. Asylum seekers who have higher employability, have more consistent asylum testimonies and severe vulnerabilities, and are Christian rather than Muslim received the greatest public support. These results suggest that public preferences over asylum seekers are shaped by sociotropic evaluations of their potential economic contributions, humanitarian concerns about the deservingness of their claims, and anti-Muslim bias. These preferences are similar across respondents of different ages, education levels, incomes, and political ideologies, as well as across the surveyed countries. This public consensus on what types of asylum seekers to accept has important implications for theory and policy.

How do we prepare potassium cyanide from potassium ferrocyanide?
It is something which I am curious about, but cannot find the answer. I am studying inorganic chemistry but this reaction cannot be found.
Until about 1900, potassium cyanide was produced by melting dry potassium carbonate with dry potassium hexacyanidoferrate(II): $$\ce{K4[Fe(CN)6] + K2CO3 -> 6KCN + FeO + CO2}$$ However, the product contains potassium cyanate, which is approximately formed as follows: $$\ce{K4[Fe(CN)6] + K2CO3 -> 5KCN + KOCN + Fe + CO2}$$
In a small scale, dry potassium hexacyanidoferrate(II) is melted in a covered porcelain crucible. It is heated as long as nitrogen escapes. $$\ce{K4[Fe(CN)6] -> 4KCN + N2 +FeC2}$$ The iron carbide sinks to the bottom and the molten potassium cyanide can be poured off.
In addition to Loong's excellent answer, I'm going to shed some light on the last process i.e. the decomposition reaction of potassium ferrocyanide.
Actual reaction is this:
$$\ce{3K4[Fe(CN)6] ->[\Delta]12KCN + Fe3C + 5C + 3N2}$$
The thermal decomposition of potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) to produce potassium cyanide, iron carbide, carbon and nitrogen. This reaction takes place at a temperature near 650°C.(source)
As always nitrogen gas escapes, iron carbide and carbon sinks to the bottom and the molten potassium cyanide can be poured off.

How to Tighten a Rattling Heat Shield
A car heat shield. Learn when to worry about a rattling heat shield.
For the most part, we associate a quiet car with a healthy car. Loose parts usually mean something is wrong, and could affect the reliability and safety of your vehicle. While some see a rattling heat shield as a mere annoyance, others may find it embarrassing. In some cases, a loose heat shield could be a major problem.
Because the primary purpose of the exhaust system is to route superheated gases away from the engine, everything around the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, exhaust pipes and muffler gets hot. Catalytic converters are particularly hot — they only begin functioning between 400 and 600 degrees Fahrenheit, and normally range between 1,200 and 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit. The rest of the exhaust system typically measures 300 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Exhaust Heat Shields — What Are They Rattling For?
These heat shields were mounted to the body over the exhaust.Many car parts cannot manage such heat. Plastic and rubber parts can melt or become brittle, electric motors and sensors can fail, and dry grass or paper can spontaneously combust. Made of thin metal sheets, heat shields deflect much of the extreme heat, some affixed to the exhaust system and others affixed to parts needing protection.
Exhaust heat shields fail for a couple of reasons: rust and vibration. Fittingly, the parts the heat shields are designed to protect often cause their failure. All metal exposed to the atmosphere corrodes, but heat speeds up the process, so clamps, bolts or welds can rust to nothing, leading to a loose heat shield. Vibrations can weaken the metal, causing a heat shield to fall off, rattling against the exhaust or some other part of the vehicle.
How to Fix a Rattling Heat Shield
Some don't see much use for a rattling heat shield, so they simply remove them and discard them, but this can be a problem. Because the heat shields are designed to protect other car parts from the extreme heat of the exhaust, removing them completely could cause premature failure of other components or even fire. The best way to fix a rattling heat shield is to replace it or reaffix it. Here are a few ways to fix your rattling heat shield:
 - Weld: If you have access to a welder, you may be able to tack the heat shield to the exhaust. Be careful, as both the thin metal heat shield and exhaust pipe may burn through.
 - Bolt: In some cases, you may be able to install new nuts and bolts to reaffix a bolt-on heat shield. If the holes are too wide, fender washers can make up for that extra space.
 - Clamp: Stainless steel screw clamps can be used in some situations, such as where a heat shield was welded or clamped to an exhaust pipe.
 - Tie: Another way to fix a loose heat shield is with a stainless steel tie, which won't rust after installation. Link several together for larger components, such as muffler heat shields.
If a loose heat shield has you worried, you may not need new exhaust pipes, but one of these quick fixes can restore your sanity and protect your vehicle from the heat. Of course, if you're going to get under the vehicle, be sure it is securely lifted and supported by jack stands.
