Australian scientists celebrate Apollo 11
In honour of the Apollo 11 lunar mission, the Australian space community has bid farewell to a piece of history and welcomed a boost in funding for the next generation in space technology.
Science minister, Senator Kim Carr, presided over a ceremony today to mark this week's 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 at the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (CDSCC) in Tidbinbilla.
The ceremony hailed and farewelled the radio antenna, called DSS46, which in 1969 was based at Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station, and received and relayed the first images of astronaut Neil Armstrong's steps on the moon.
DSS46 received the Apollo 11 telecast from the surface of the moon from 12.51 to 1.02pm on 21 July 1969 (AEST).
It fed the signals to US Mission Control in Houston, which then relayed them via satellite to the world.
CDSCC director Dr Miriam Baltuck describes DSS46 as "an old dear", which has now been superseded by more up-to-date space communications technology.
She says while antennas have previously been packed up and sent to other homes, economics and new technology make that option too expensive.
"It's a lovely antenna and there's a lot of life in it yet, but the cost of disassembly and shipping and reassembly would be so great that you could probably get an off-the-shelf, state-of-the-art smaller antenna for something close to that," she says.
"At a minimum, we'll render it safe … and put a plaque on it."
Baltuck says at the ceremony, Dan Clune, US Charge D'Affaires in Australia read a letter from Neil Armstrong, thanking Australian scientists, engineers and technicians for their role in providing real-time communications for the mission.
The Tidbinbilla station itself was involved in communication with the lunar orbiter, occupied by Apollo 11 astronaut, Michael Collins.
Other Australian facilities involved in relaying signals for Apollo 11 were the now-famous dish at Parkes and the manned space flight centre at Carnarvon.
Giant Magellan Telescope
At the ceremony Senator Carr also announced the government would spend $88.4 million towards the construction of the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), to be based in Chile's high-altitude Atacama Desert.
The funding will give Australia a 10% share in the $1 billion telescope, expected to be the largest optical telescope on Earth.
The GMT will provide up to 30 times better resolution than current land-based telescopes and images 10 times sharper than the Hubble Space Telescope.
The telescope, being built by the US, South Korea and Australia, will study planets around other suns, probe dark matter and dark energy, and unlock the secrets of star and planet formation.
Professor Matthew Colless, who is vice-chair of the GMT board, which represents the partners in the telescope, welcomes the funding.
"It's a wonderful way to celebrate - 400 years since Galileo and 40 years since the landing on the moon."
Colless says technology has brought an enormous expansion in space exploration horizons since the moon landing.
"Honeysuckle creek was used for our first steps onto the nearest other planetary body, the Moon, whereas the GMT is looking out across the broad reach of the universe, back towards the big bang itself," he says.
"It will be able to see the very first stars, the first galaxies, the first black holes that were ever formed in the universe."

A stabilized formulation with maximum entropy meshfree approximants for viscoplastic flow simulation in metal forming
Tipus de documentArticle
Condicions d'accésAccés obert
The finite element method is the reference technique in the simulation of metal forming and provides excellent results with both Eulerian and Lagrangian implementations. The latter approach is more natural and direct but the large deformations involved in such processes require remeshing-rezoning algorithms that increase the computational times and reduce the quality of the results. Meshfree methods can better handle large deformations and have shown encouraging results. However, viscoplastic flows are nearly incompressible, which poses a challenge to meshfree methods. In this paper we propose a simple model of viscoplasticity, where both the pressure and velocity fields are discretized with maximum entropy approximants. The inf-sup condition is circumvented with a numerically consistent stabilized formulation that involves the gradient of the pressure. The performance of the method is studied in some benchmark problems including metal forming and orthogonal cutting.

What can Documentation Studies do for us?
As objects that are intended to convey meaning, digital data can certainly be considered as a type of document. In this paper, Jones and McCoy set out a case for how documentation studies can provide a useful framework for analysing the datafication of students through educational data-systems and analytics.
The main pitch of the paper is considering how the documentation studies concepts of individuals being 'made into' data and how those data are 'considered as' individuals (Buckland 2013) might help frame vital questions concerning educational data practices. For example, they argues that the notion of individuals being 'made into' data raise a number of useful questions:
 - Are the data a document or exist as part of a corpus, and how do we know?
 - What is the data source?
 - In what form(s) do the data exist?
 - What visible and invisible documentation processes created the data?
 - Were the documentation processes purposefully created or ad hoc, were they responsive or forward-thinking?
 - How do uses of the data support other practices?
 - Who directly and indirectly created the data?
 - Who directly and indirectly uses the data?
 - Who makes secondary uses of the data?
 - In what ways do algorithms and artificial intelligence affect the data's characteristics?
Similarly, the notion of how people are then 'considered as' these data can also be seen as raising a number of attendant questions. For example:
 - What evidence do these data provide, and can we verify their veracity?
 - What end(s) do these data serve? .
 - What role(s) do these data play in a sociotechnical system?
 - What social value do the data have? .
 - What cultural value do the data have?.
 - What political value do the data have?
 - Is the data morally justifiable? .
 - Can the data be ethically accessed and used?.
 - How do the data create or perpetuate unjust systems? .
 - How does the existence/use of the data create harms?
The paper then goes on to demonstrate the benefits of these approaches with regard to three critical concerns over the use of data in education. The first is the notion of data fallibility – in particular how the interests of institutional administrations shape the processes of making students into data – "effectively reducing them into fragmentary representations" (p.52). For Jones and McCoy, this raises questions over the specific sources of data being used, the choices of which data are to be included and not included in any models, in whose interests the analytics serve and what heuristics are used to justify the actions that the data analytics inform.
Secondly, the paper considers concerns over digital-data led 'apophenia' – i.e. the identification of patterns that do not actually exist. The critical concern here is the analysis of digital without the due involvement of individuals for who the phenomenon being represented is familiar. For example, a classroom teacher will be able to identify the contextual reasons and mitigating factors underpinning a data pattern that might be apparent in statistical terms but meaningless in social terms.
Here, then, Jones and McCoy illustrate how the documentation studies approach raises a number of questions regarding students being 'made into' data. For example, whether the analytics are being presented in tabular or visualisation form; whether the statistical processes were iteratively developed and vetted at each stage; what non-data science actors were involved in the construction of statistical models. Alternatively, in terms of how this data is then 'considered as', questions need to be asked of how intelligible the data outputs are for whom they are designed to be used; whether different actors share a common or diverse sense of how this data is 'useful'.
Third, then, are critical concerns over the construction and use of 'data doubles'. Questions raised here include how we know what data are actually included in the make-up of any profile or representation (i.e. its provenance), whether policies exist to specify what data should be included in student records, what can access these records and for what purposes.
In many ways, these are all questions that might reasonably already be included in any critical analysis of the datafication of schooling. Nevertheless, the documentation studies approach is neat way gathering together these concerns and focusing our attention on the essentially socially-constructed and institutionally-led nature of data 'generation' within a school. In particular, these questions push us toward a systematic consideration of the unintended consequences of digital data when applied in practice. In this sense, these are useful issues to be reminded of throughout our research.

In the discussion below, we describe our emergent understanding of elements of the Andean worldview and ceremonial tobacco use in the Pachamama ceremony and how each of these thematic constructs might be used in smoking prevention strategies. We discuss four emergent themes below: historical continuity, cosmological beliefs (holism, reciprocity, and balance), the hierarchy of social relations and respect for elders and tradition, and norms governing ceremonial tobacco use. These results are summarized in. We then turn to a discussion of how youth characterize secular, recreational use of tobacco in contrast to ceremonial use and close with a discussion of how our results can be integrated into smoking prevention programs for Andean youth.
Ceremonial and recreational smoking among Andean youth
Andean youth are reared with an understanding of the ancient origin and historical continuity of the Pachamama ceremony. As these young men indicate, offerings to Pachamama transcend time and ensure the continuity of life across generations.
I was told that it is a ritual that comes from long time ago. (Rural male, age 18, smoker)
Pachamama, I have heard that it comes from generation to generation. People get together, feed Mother Earth, praise her, and pray to have good fortune and progress for the coming year. (Urban male, age 17, non-smoker)
Youth perceptions of the historical continuity of the Pachamama
ceremony are relevant since they provide a sense of coherence and belonging, a critical factor in the establishment of group identity during adolescence (Phinney 1990
). This kind of identity has been described as a feeling of being at home in your body, knowing where you are going, and experiencing an inner assuredness of recognition from those who are important to you (Erickson 1968
). Group identity plays a role in behavioral patterns of substance use among youth. In particular, ethnic or cultural identity can foster the development of anti-drug use norms (Love 2006
; Marsiglia et al. 2004
) or increased drug use (James et al. 2000
), indicating that its effect may be mediated by other factors like social and familial influences or peer subcultures (Dornelas 2005
; Jessor et al. 1998
The Andean world view encompasses several core constructs that include the unity of material and spiritual realms, social reciprocity, and the complementary nature of opposite forces such as the interplay of good and evil or hot and cold (Van den Berg 1992
). These core elements of the Andean worldview emerge from young people's descriptions of the Pachamama
ceremony. The accounts of different respondents about the experience and meaning of the ceremony demonstrate coherence and convergence, providing evidence that their beliefs about traditional ceremonies are grounded in a core set of collectively constructed and shared meanings about holism, reciprocity, health and illness, hierarchy, and respect each of which is discussed below.
There are no inanimate objects in the Andean worldview. Rather, material and spiritual aspects coexist in each and every element of the universe – including human beings, animals, plants, and minerals and this embodies holism (Polia Meconi 1996
). The land, Pachamama
, provides material sustenance, but it also possesses the attributes of a deity or a spiritual entity that can fill a person with joy:
"Pachamama means time and space, the time of our lives and the space we occupy…each of us has her in our own being…she makes me feel happy," (Rural male, age 18, smoker).
In Andean societies, the activities of daily life are infused with spiritual meaning. The offerings used in propitiatory practices, including tobacco, are perceived to posses both a material and a spiritual nature. This belief in the dual nature of tobacco stands in stark contrast to its treatment as a commodity in Western society, providing a basis for critique of its portrayal in advertisements and the profit-making aims of tobacco companies.
Households in the Andes rely on family members to provide labor and skills for subsistence activities. Andean institutions that ensure mutual assistance have existed for thousands of years. Such reciprocity and solidarity take on a variety of forms (Osorio Acuña 1992
). The ayni
is a system of reciprocity involving an exchange of labor that cannot be reciprocated with money, only with work (Harris 1987
). Reciprocity is a core concept in the Andean belief system that provides the social basis for the Pachamama
We give things to the Earth, we venerate her, because the majority of the people believe that in doing so we will receive more food, all things come from her, our crops. (Urban Female, age 15, smoker)
Thus, the Pachamama ceremony reinforces the pervasive theme of reciprocity and interrelatedness of the land, the people, and the cosmos. Among Andean peoples this results in an emphasis on the common good over individual success, a construct that could be enlisted to justify the protection of non-smokers from exposure to second hand smoke.
The complementary nature of opposite forces, much like the concept of yin and yang in Chinese philosophy, explains the dynamics of the ever-changing life energy in the universe. Respondents explained the dual nature of good and evil and the need to balance such forces.
Pachamama is a ritual to keep the house in harmony, so you feel better, so evil will go away. That is what one believes, and one feels better. (Urban male, age 14, smoker)
The idea of balance is crucial to the health belief system. In the Andes, as in many cultures, health is conceived as the maintenance of a state of harmony with nature and the universe within the context of a constant interplay of the forces of good and evil and hot and cold. Thus, Pacha, Mother Earth, is both a source of healing and of illness. This is also true for the ceremonial offerings made to her, including tobacco. Health is also contingent on maintaining harmony in social relationships by observing social norms and meeting social obligations. Maintaining harmony with nature especially through ritual offerings is especially important, hence the importance of the Pachamama ceremony. In this world view, the land provides life and sustenance but it can also take life away if it is not properly appreciated and attended to through rituals and offerings:
Sometimes the earth takes you away, takes your life away. (Rural male, age 13, smoker)
These cosmological beliefs can be enlisted in prevention of tobacco use by highlighting the interplay between good and evil forces. Each ritual element has a power that cures and a power that kills (Polia Meconi 1996
). This concept can be used to explain the positive and negative aspects of using psychoactive substances such as tobacco and to modify beliefs about the social acceptability of recreational smoking. Tobacco could be framed dualistically as a substance that can have negative health effects when used outside of the ritual context.
Hierarchy and Respect
Youth refer to two elements in the Pachamama ceremony that manifest their knowledge and acceptance of the hierarchical social relations of Andean society, adult leadership and age-based participation order as the following passage illustrates.
My grandmother, she starts praying, she prays for everybody. Then, she starts giving (Pachamama) the food, then the drinks, then she lights a cigarette. That is the ritual that we do. (Urban male, age 17, smoker)
Although all participants must take a turn giving offerings to Mother Earth, there is a strict ordering sequence; elders first, adults next, and children last. The acceptance of the hierarchical order of the ceremony could serve to reinforce the authority of adult family members in conducting family life. Enlisting the aid of ceremonial leaders, elders, and parents could be used to legitimate campaigns to change perceptions of tobacco and its recreational use.
Study respondents said that they approach the Pachamama ceremony with a respectful attitude. This is a cultural practice that has been internalized with a positive affect.
With my family I always ask something from Pachamama. I simply ask that she helps me and I respect her at the time when I am doing these things. (Urban female, age 16, smoker)
An attitude of respect facilitates compliance with the norms and rules that guide the ceremony and the use of its ritual elements. Respect for the ancestors and tradition is related to historical continuity and contributes to the maintenance of a sense of coherence and belonging. It is likely that youths who profess respect might be more prone to value the teachings of adults and role models.
Ceremonial tobacco use
In the ritual context, tobacco acquires magical and supernatural characteristics. The power of tobacco is visualized, felt, and internalized as adults perform the rituals or, on occasion, explain the properties of tobacco. Lit cigarettes set around the ceremonial opening provide a venue for communication with Mother Earth. At this time the magical forces of tobacco are released in the smoke and require respect and care in handling. As the smoke diffuses upward, it carries messages to and from the spiritual world. Humans ask for good fortune, and the response of the spirits materializes in the shape of the ashes. Elders have the knowledge to interpret the ashes and decipher their signs to foretell the future.
The tradition is to set the cigarette standing around the opening. According to my father if it burns to the bottom you are going to be fine. If the cigarette is not burning it is a bad omen. (Urban male, age 17, non-smoker)
My grandmother would help us set the cigarettes on the Earth and when they were consumed she would read (in the ashes) how long you were going to

Swan Bay located at the eastern end of the Bellarine Peninsula is one of the region's most important eco systems regarded as having international significance.
The 30 square kilometre shallow marine embayment lies between St Leonards to the North and Queenscliff to the South makes up part of the Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park. The bay was originally called Swan Ponds and was named by explorer Matthew Flinders who was amazed by the large numbers black swan found in the waters. The black swan is only one of a number of important species found in the bay there the list of bird life is stunning with waders, seabirds and the orange bellied parrot which is one of the rarest birds in Australia with its name on the Critically Endangered list and an estimated 50 birds still alive in the wild. There are countless species of birds on the bay but pelicans, gull, spoonbill, sandpipers, oyster-catchers, terns and various species or duck are quiet common sights. Birds of prey like owls, eagles and hawks are also common sights.
The bay is one of the region's favourite spots for recreation. Bird watching is a favourite past time in the area as are some water based activities including scuba diving, kayaking and boating. As the area is part of the Marine National Park there are strict rules on where and what to fish. The scenic Bellarine Railway which runs from Queenscliff to Portarlington also offers spectacular views of the bay.
The bay is an important breeding ground and nursery for many of Port Phillip Bay's fish including mullet, whiting, flounder, and snapper. Much of the bay is covered in sea grass which offers food and protection for the sea life.
The scrub and vegetation around the bay is also an important feature. The southern tip of the bay is home to some of the peninsula's only real native bushlands with dense coastal tea tree and coastal beard heath. The shoreline has plenty of coastal saltbush and shrubs like Glasswort and Austral Seabite which also offer food and shelter to the abundant bird life.
Separating Swan Bay to Port Philip Bay on the Queenscliff side of the bay is Swan Island. This small island is home to the Queenscliff Golf Club which has an amazing course overlooking the bay. The Department of Defence also occupies a large portion of the island and uses it as a training facility including a counter terrorism training centre for the Australian Special Forces. Swan Island also houses the Queenscliff Cruising Yacht Club and waters of the island are popular dive spots especially around the wreck of the Mountain Maid which sank off the island in 1856. A J-Class Submarine was scuttled there in 1926 and also offers a great dive.
Swan Bay is the setting for one of the Geelong region's oldest legends or myths. The southern shoreline I meant to be home to buried pirate treasure which was allegedly hidden by Pirate 'Bloody Sword' Benito Bonito. The treasure called the 'Lost loot of Lima' consisted mainly of golden religious figures and jewels, was taken from the west coast of the Americas and hidden on Swan Bay in the early 1820s. No one has ever found the treasure, so who knows it may still be out there and on today's market could be worth more than $300 million. Poor old Bonito was caught by the British not long after leaving Port Phillip Bay and after a drum head court martial and was hung taking any secrets he had to his death.

BlinkM in Energy Mementos By: James Pierce
Energy Mementos are small objects for collecting (generating) small amounts of electrical energy, keeping (storing) the energy, and recording and storing energy metadata related to the various qualities of its production such as direction, magnitude, age and time of energy generation; the energy metadata is used in various ways to share (distribute) and activate (use) the energy to which it refers.
For this project I built two functional Energy Mementos prototypes: The Shake-light bottle and the Turn-light Box. The basic idea is to generate small amounts of energy (by shaking a magnet in a coil winding, or turning a small DC motor), store the energy, store energy metadata about the magnitude of the energy generated, and then later "play back" the energy in interesting ways using the energy metadata.
One of many possible envisioned scenarios is to give the Turn-light Box to a loved one as an expression of the giver's personal energy. The recipient could then keep the box in a special place, such as a shelf or drawer in the home. The recipient could, perhaps in a moment of longing for the giver, activate the giver's energy using the box. The energy is activated as a unique pattern of light colors and intensities corresponding to the amplitude and direction of the electrical current generated and stored within the box.
The following circuit uses a voltage divider and zener diode to measure voltage and direction of power generated by turning a small DC motor by hand (100:1 gear ratio). An Arduino mini is also used. The Arduino is programmed to wake when voltage is detected on the SPEED pin and begin sampling voltage and direction. The measured energy metadata is stored in the onboard 512 bytes of EEPROM. A small switch is used to "play back" recorded energy an BlinkM RGB LED.

It's starting to look like one of the commonly repeated facts about Hum hearers might be incorrect. My initial statistics were confirmed: the mean and median age for Hum Hearers is 40 years of age, with a standard deviation of 14 years. The data is distributed pretty much normally, which means there are roughly equal numbers of Hearers younger than 40 as there are hearers over 40. Because the standard deviation is 14 years, this means that roughly 2/3 of Hearers are between 26 and 54.

Abstract: Global illumination (GI) computation has been the subject of intense research in computer graphics for many years, but it has only recently been extensively used in practical applications. Major industries, such as videogame and film production, architecture, and design, now use GI to produce CG imagery with increased realism. However, trade-offs differ in these applications, so each uses a significantly different GI computation technique. This course provides an overview of GI computation in practical applications across and within industries. It focuses on juxtaposing the domain-specific decision processes that influence the choice of a particular solution. Each technique is presented in the context of the objectives and constraints set by the application. The course reviews the strong and weak points of each implementation and possibilities for further innovation.

The Permit Process
A permit, when required, is a document, required by state law, granting legal permission to start construction. Permits are typically required for the following projects:
Step 1, The Permit Application Center
A visit or telephone call to the Permit Application Center will provide you with the resources and information necessary to make your project a success and to avoid potential problems which could cost you time and money. Be prepared to discuss your project with permit staff who will ask you questions such as "What are you planning to do?" and "Where are you planning to do it?" The permit staff will discuss the specific process for your project with you.
Step 2, Permit Application
A completed permit application is required prior to beginning the administrative process. You may pick up a permit application at the Permit Application Center or online. You'll be asked to document "who" will perform the work and "what," "where," and "how" the work will be completed. Drawings, plans or other documentation of the proposed work may be required. You may be asked to pay for all or part of your permit fee at the time of application.
Step 3, The Review Process
During the review process, county staff will determine if your project is in compliance with the building code, the zoning ordinance, and other county or state ordinances and statutes. Use the links above or check with the Permit Application Center for the requirements for your project type. The length of the review process will depend on the type and complexity of the project. Many small residential applications can be processed in one day. Posted plan review timeframes are kept online.
Step 4, Permit Approval
When compliance with the code, zoning ordinances and other applicable statutes are determined, the permit application is approved. Once all final permit fees are paid, the permit is issued.
However, if the permit application is not approved or a review has failed, your permit application as submitted will be denied. When a permit application is denied, you must make the necessary corrections and resubmit the application. Staff will post deficiencies online for your convenience.
Step 5, Construction
During the entire construction phase, the permit must be placed in a window or other prominent place at the project site and a copy of the county-approved building plan and related documents must be maintained at the site.
Step 6, Inspections
Each major phase of construction must be inspected by a county inspector to make certain the work conforms to the code, the permit and the approved plans.
If an inspector finds that work does not conform to the approved plans, the inspector will fail the inspection and provide comments. Another inspection will be necessary before work is resumed.

Inspection requests online
Step 7, Field Changes

English Grammar Pattern 86
(1) Past Perfect + (2) Connector + (3) Past
We (1) had already finished eating (2) when our boss (3) offered to take us out to dinner!
Grammar Pattern 86 has two past events, one which happened before the other. Usually,
the first past event has an important connection to the second one. In the Model Sentence
above, "we had finished eating" so we were not hungry when "our boss offered to take us
out to dinner". The meaning of the sentence is that we missed a good opportunity - if only
the boss had offered earlier!
Pronunciation Practice - Repeat each sentence out loud!
1. He had been waiting for two hours when the telephone suddenly rang.
Conversation Practice - Ask these questions to your friends!
2. I had already been planning my holiday when the boss told me I had to work overtime.
3. She had been studying for the exam for two months before learning that it was cancelled.
4. When we arrived at the football match, they had already been playing for 15 minutes.
5. I had just started using my computer when the electricity suddenly went out.
1. How long had you been working in your job before you started to do well?
2. Had you already been studying sentence patterns before you started these lessons?
3. Where had you been living when you decided to start your career?
4. Can you remember when you first went to university or started your first job? How long had you been studying to prepare for that day?
5. What kind of job had you been dreaming of before you found your current job?

Stereo-B Triangle UFO
An odd triangle shaped object captured on video December 27 – 29 by NASA's Stereo- B spacecraft is the latest video which UFO hunters and conspiracy theorists believe depicts an enormous triangle UFO in outer space heading towards Earth. NASA's Stereo-B spacecraft is one of two probes parked on either side of the sun which together produces a 360 view of the inner solar s system.
UFO hunters claim that the video depicts Venus, Earth and on the opposite side heading towards Earth; a mysterious huge triangle shaped UFO. According to the claims of the UFO conspiracists, in comparison with the planetary objects within view the actual size of the UFO would be immense.
This is not the first time that UFO hunters have discovered what they believed to be a gigantic UFO among images captured by these stereo probes. However, this time the team of scientists at NASA who work with the data from the probes decided to address the claim directly.
In a nutshell, the scientists at NASA explained the UFO seen on the on the video is actually just a trick of light. The NASA scientists wrote, at the same time as the strange looking feature (UFO) starts becoming visible, the very bright planet Venus enters the field of view from the lower left.
The scientists emphasized that Venus and the triangle seen opposite each other across the middle of the field remain in step as they move and this is because the strange triangle shaped object is actually an internal reflection of the planet Venus within the telescope optics.
In this optical phenomenon, incoming light reflects back and forth both off lenses and mirrors inside the telescope. The shapes of artifacts produced by the scattered light typically are triangles and circles of various sizes depending on the relative orientations of those lenses and mirrors within the telescope. In fact, this effect has been observed many times before, according to scientists and NASA. So what do you think was the ufo real?

Validation of the Mental Illness Sexual Stigma Questionnaire (MISS-Q) in a sample of Brazilian adults in psychiatric care
Objective: We evaluated the psychometric properties of a new instrument "Mental Illness Sexual Stigma Questionnaire" (MISS-Q).
Methods: We interviewed 641 sexually active adults (ages 18-80) attending public outpatient psychiatric clinics in Rio de Janeiro about their stigma experiences.
Results: Nine factors were extracted through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and labeled: 'individual discrimination by others';'staff willingness to talk about sexuality';'staff and family prohibitions';'sexual devaluation of self'; 'perceived attractiveness';'mental illness concealment'; 'perceived sexual role competence'; 'withdrawal'; and 'locus of social-sexual control'. 'Withdrawal' and 'locus of social-sexual control' showed poor psychometric properties and were excluded from further analysis. The remaining seven factors had high factorial loadings (.39 to.86), varying from sufficient to optimal reliability (Ordinal α ranged from.57 to.88), and good convergent and discriminant validity.
Conclusions: The resulting MISS-Q is the first instrument assessing mental illness sexual stigma with demonstrated psychometric properties. It may prove useful in reducing stigma, protecting sexual health, and promoting recovery.
Keywords: Stigma; psychometric assessment; severe mental illness; sexual and romantic relationships.

In my previous post, I said that the wooden structure was complete, but I forgot to mention that we still needed to install the nose and tail blocks. In a paddleboard, the bow and stern are called the "nose" and "tail". We finished the nose by installing a nose block laminated from pieces of red cedar. We cut across the bottom at the nose to expose the central longitudinal spar and then cut off the end of the spar to expose the underside of the deck at the nose. We took six 1/2 inch pieces of red cedar and laminated them at the nose with thickened epoxy. You could use a single large solid block if you wanted to -- it just happened to be those pieces are what we had on hand. After the epoxy cured we rough cut it to shape with a handsaw then planed it to match the curve of the nose. There are no rules on how to do this. We wanted to keep it simple. You can get creative here with laminating different colors and species of wood.
The process at the tail is similar, but this time we cut across the deck to expose the inside of the bottom and glued a single block across the end.
After the blocks were shaped, we chose to extend the outer layer of the rails around the edges of the blocks. We thought it would be more aesthetically pleasing to have the pattern of vertical rails continuous around the entire board.

Sweeter Things In Life
Acrylic on canvas
Signed to the lower left
Inscribed to the verso
Certificate of authenticity from artist included
Jazz Hands Jo's (nom de plume) is a nomadic folk painter who grew up in rural areas throughout the United States, from western deserts to southern marsh. While meeting many other artists on her travels, Jazz Hands gained her name by quickly catching on to the skill of painting from her peers. Now a recluse, the artist uses painting as a method of connecting to her roots. Her paintings may present themselves as naive or child-like, however, they are often metaphors of her beliefs. Following her faith, Jo uses anthropomorphic imagery to speak to her audience through acrylic paintings.

The following is testimony from Lyle Jepson, Dean of Entrepreneurial Programs at Castleton University and Director of Rutland Economic Development Corporation, in front of the Vermont House Committee on Education on January 17, 2017.
Today I will ask you to prioritize economic growth and population growth in your decisions about education policy.
Castleton University believes that higher education is an economic driver. That belief is exemplified in Castleton's growth into the Rutland region. The purchase and repurposing of Spartan Arena, the upcoming construction of the Spartan Dome, the introduction of three art galleries in the City's downtown, the location of the Castleton Polling Institute, creation of the Center for Entrepreneurial Programs, the daily work being undertaken to connect business and industry with University interns, and most recently, and the opening of student housing in downtown Rutland, directly enhance our region's ability to attract and retain a workforce that is vitally needed for our continued economic recovery.
Because of Castleton's leadership and, specifically, President David Wolk's vision, Rutland Economic Development Corporation requested that Castleton University lead the County's economic development efforts. Castleton University and Rutland Economic Development Corporation now share one roof and blur the lines between education and training and economic development.
Vermont is at a critical economic tipping point. We have learned that employers have unfilled jobs. Access to skilled workers is an urgent need. Our workforce is aging. Families are having fewer children.
Our education policy is in the process of catching up to these changes. Agencies and departments – including education and economic development – need:
- a common understanding of Vermont's most urgent problems, and
- common language to describe and measure outcomes.
We need to make sure that the puzzle pieces fit and that the policy decisions that are made reflect the need to increase Vermont's population. We need to link economic growth with population growth.
For discussion purposes, I have attached three documents:
- population projections for Rutland County,
- a Regional Marketing Initiative Overview, and
- the Joint REDC / Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce Policy Report.
The Joint Policy Report connects Governor Scott's "Comprehensive Blueprint for Economic Growth" and the work that REDC and the RRCC will be supporting. Our primary focus is on population and economic growth through regulatory reform and workforce development. Within "Workforce," the importance of K-12 education, specifically technical education, is highlighted.
Castleton University, Rutland Economic Development Corporation and the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce will work closely with high school and college/university partners to connect education and employers with work based learning and internship opportunities.
We want you to:
- Support continued implementation of Act 46 school district restructuring and consolidation; we have too much supply and not enough demand.
- Require the Agency of Education to oversee consistent application of Act 77: Flexible Pathways within technical center service regions – and ideally, throughout the state;
- Require a common school calendar, common graduation requirements and equal access by all students to school choice within technical center service regions;
- Allow access to technical education beginning in 9th grade;
- Support statewide recruitment campaigns to bring back and retain young Vermonters or professionals with some link to Vermont (the state has begun such an effort but it is underfunded);
- Increase financial support for higher education as outlined by the Vermont State College system request; and
- Invite the Vermont Futures Project to present their data on workforce trends and needs. They have collected data that indicates the need for almost 11,000 new employees each year, every year, for the next 15 years in order to fill the workforce gap that has been created by an aging workforce and declining population.
Governor Scott will be judging decisions based upon:
- Economic growth, and
- Protecting the most vulnerable.
By now you have heard from hard-working, committed professionals from across the state about:
- Career Pathways for Vermont's students in areas of high skill, high demand, and high paying jobs,
- Career Readiness,
- The importance of 3rd party validation of credentials that are valued by business and industry,
- The professional development needs of school leaders,
- Work-based learning,
- Dual enrollment,
- Act 166,
- Act 77,
- Proficiency-based graduation requirements,
- Standards-based assessment procedures,
- The need for a Talent Pipeline Management system that supports business and industry, and more…
All of the these initiatives are important, and the bottom line is that everyone wants very similar outcomes: a talented workforce that is benefiting from a strong economy and a workforce that is drawn to Vermont's cultural and adventure-based activities – a place they choose to live, work and play. In many ways, we are on the right track.
But Rutland County, in particular, is hard-hit by the declining population. This demographic change effects everything from property values to what schools can afford to offer their students.
In conclusion, I hope you have heard this message:
- Continue the initiatives that are underway – stay the course with Act 46 and Act 77,
- Eliminate any barriers facing students who wish to participate in technical education,
- Approve the request for an increase in funding for the Vermont State College system, and
- Ensure that all state agencies work together towards common goals. Today, by executive order, Governor Scott has aligned the Department of Labor and Agency of Commerce and Community Development. We applaud any and all efforts that will enhance efficiencies, communication and outcomes. We can not have isolated silos of responsibility and expect positive outcomes.
In Rutland, our goal is to collaborate in innovative and bold ways. We believe that economic growth and population growth are inextricably linked to each other, and to Vermont's success. If our population grows, and the result of that is economic growth, we will no longer be burdened by re-slicing the state's budgetary pie. We will have a bigger pie to slice.
I urge you to consider whether your future decisions will support population growth. It is such growth that will spur economic development, bolster property values, increase state revenues, and allow us to provide the comprehensive educational programming that all of our children need and deserve.

Last name: Atrill
This interesting name is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and has two possible sources; the first being that it is topographical for a "dweller by the hill", deriving from the Middle English (1200 - 1500) "att", at, with the Olde English pre 7th Century "hyll", a hill. However, the alternative source of this name may be the later West Country development, surviving in placenames as both Rill and Rull, and thus Atrill, and its variant forms Attril and Attrill, would be a locational name from either of these places, for example "atte Rill". Topographical surnames were among the earliest created, since both natural and man-made features in the landscape provided easily recognisable distinguishing names in the small communities of the Middle Ages; while locational surnames were developed when former inhabitants of a place moved to another area, usually to seek work, and were best identified by the name of their birthplace. Recordings from Devonshire Church Registers include the marriage of Edward Atrill and Emlin Crymes in St. Budeaux, on February 17th 1798. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Waller atter Hille, which was dated 1330, in "Placenames of Devon", during the reign of King Edward 111, known as "The Father of the Navy", 1327 - 1377. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

The importance of drinking water
We have been able to taste the summer in the past few days! How do you know if you are drinking enough water. Of course it is wonderful to enjoy the warm weather and the sunbeams, but the visits to the gym also continue. In the club it can be slightly warmer than normal on such nice days. That is why it is extremely important to supplement your fluid balance during your training. We explain why this is so important and how you drink easily enough.
Why is enough drinking so important?
Humans exist for the most part from moisture. In women, this is on average 52% and in men even 63%. This is not for nothing, we need moisture for different reasons. For example, moisture ensures that nutrients are absorbed, nutrients and waste are transported and we can properly regulate our body temperature. So drink plenty of water from your Water Cooler Cooran. Structural drinking too little can also cause dehydration. In short: enough drinking is desperately needed for our body to function optimally. Lose weight by drinking water.
How much do you have to drink daily?
Moisture is in drinking and eating, but by far the most you get in through drinking. An adult needs an average of 1.5 liters to 2 liters of fluid every day in the form of drinking. How much you exactly need depends on your age and health status, for example. Healthy drink water with minerals from your Water Cooler Cooran. But if it's hot and you have a lot of sport you need a lot more. On a hot day it is advisable to drink at least two liters of water to prevent dehydration. With an hour of intensive exercise you can even lose one to two liters of extra fluid! Fortunately, your body automatically restores fluid balance, if you drink enough from your Water Cooler Cooran.
What can you drink the best?
Healthy drinks instead of water. Water is the purest form of moisture. In addition, coffee and tea also contain 0 calories. Sports drinks are very popular during training. Most sports drinks, unfortunately, contain unnecessary and unhealthy substances, such as sugars and dyes, which can impede the absorption of moisture. This fortunately does not apply to Yanga Sports Water. Yanga contains, among others, Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B6. These vitamins provide more energy during exercise, a good functioning of the nervous system and a stronger resistance. Our Yanga tap is always open; with seven refreshing flavors there is always a nice taste. And with less than 5 calories per bottle, also a responsible choice. So you always drink enough under your training! Soft drinks, up to 7 cubes of sugar. Great tasting water from your Water Cooler Cooran.

After a lot of procrastination, deliberation and weighing, even more procrastination and initially feeling like it, then it is finally time. I'm going to do it: detox.
It never works out. In itself I can plan well, but I am also good at procrastinating. Each time there was an excuse - and usually a very good one - to postpone the start date for me. Parties, events, my birthday, food festivals, 90s parties with candy chains and even more parties and dinners. Healthy drinking water from your water cooler Cooran. Benefits of drinking a glass of water on an empty stomach.
Detoxing on my birthday was a bit too far. That's why I decided to start after my birthday in exactly one week.
So. That's in place. Black on white. That is the nice thing about a blog. Now I can't get out of it. My poison belt is dying. I become a temple. A temple people! I hope such a beautiful gold shiny.
Once I set the date and made the decision, I suddenly remembered that the World Cup is about to start. Of course I had completely forgotten that. But, no more time for procrastination and apologies. I have to leave those butterball and beers for a while (or secretly hope that the Netherlands does not get that far).
In this blog post I will describe my preparations for a detox, what you can and cannot eat during the detox and how I am going to handle my detox. Also, at the end also a nice giveaway, so you can detox with me. And to prepare yourself right, the recipe for the easiest and fastest nut butter ever.
Detox: the how, what and why
5 Helpful tips with losing weight by drinking water. The internet is full of detox stories. Cécile detox, Brenda detox, Pauline detox and Ianna start her detox tomorrow as-we-speak. So detox is hip. Especially in blog land. After all the success stories, I would like to try what it is like. I have read in, bought the book In 28 days from poison belt to temple and now I want to try it too.
Detox means the removal of (accumulated) toxins from the body, also known as detoxification or detoxification (yak). The goal of the detox program that I want to follow is to detox my diet in 28 days. The idea behind this is that your body has less work to process what you put in and it has more energy. During the detox you only eat food that is easy to digest and that focuses on nourishing, strengthening and cleansing the body. The liver, kidneys and intestines get more rest during the detox and can function optimally. You should notice that if it is good.
My motivation is mainly to see what it does and if I can do it. Is my hair shinier? Will I be pimple-free? Am I getting more energy? Do I indeed become happier? Am I going to keep it up? Can I break through all those years of patterns and resist all temptations? A kind of personal challenge.
I had quickly decided for a detox, but then the question arose: what are you allowed to eat and what not to eat during the detox?
Detox: what can and cannot you eat?
First the bad news. What is not allowed? All grains that contain gluten (and there are many), sugar, sweeteners, additives such as flavors, colors and flavors (also called E numbers), cow's milk products, caffeine, meat, alcohol, white rice, pasta, potatoes without peel, all prepacked processed products and soy products.
So. What is left then?
Although you have a laundry list above with ingredients that you should not eat during the detox, fortunately there is also a huge list of what you can eat. What you can and cannot eat differs per detox. Some detoxes only consist of juices, others are completely vegan and in yet another detox you eat meat from lamb, chicken and turkey. So every detox is different.
As a guideline I chose the book In 28 days from poison belt to temple by detox coach Jacqueline van Lieshout. The book provides a clear step-by-step plan with useful tips for detoxing in 28 days. For example, I will eat eggs, fish and goat milk products, but I will leave gluten, meat and cow's milk (oh no no brie). Make sure you drink plenty of filtered alkaline water from your water cooler Cooran.
I held my heart when looking up the list. But serious, it is not too bad. I also eat most things often, so that only makes it easier. And the nice thing is that there is no prescription for how much you can eat. Look, you should of course not go into containers with dried fruit or bananas, but in principle you can do anything as much as you want. That principle appeals to me.
I can eat the following ingredients and products during my detox:
 - all fresh or frozen fruit
 - dried fruit, unsweetened and to a limited extent, such as cranberries, dates, raisins and goji berries
 - all vegetables. Vegetables that do well include broccoli, beets, cauliflower (yak), sprouts, onions, garlic, artichoke, green and red cabbage
 - sea vegetables, such as nori sheets and seaweed
Why is Filtered Water so Important?

We obtain relations between partial-wave amplitudes for [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] directly from large [Formula Presented] QCD. While linear relations among certain amplitudes holding at leading order (LO) in [Formula Presented] were derived in the context of chiral soliton models two decades ago, the present work employs a fully model-independent framework based on consistency with the large [Formula Presented] expansion. At LO in [Formula Presented] we reproduce the soliton model results; however, this method allows for systematic corrections. At next-to-leading order (NLO), most relations require additional unknown functions beyond those appearing at LO and thus have little additional predictive power. However, three NLO relations for the [Formula Presented] reaction are independent of unknown functions and make predictions accurate at this order. The amplitudes relevant to two of these relations were previously extracted from experiment. These relations describe experiment dramatically better than their LO counterparts.

In his liberal theory of justice, John Rawls stipulates that the principles of justice selected will be generally complied with. This assumption of full compliance is characteristic of what Rawls calls "ideal theory," i.e., a theory that seeks to formulate and justify ideal principles of justice. David Schmidtz contends that the full compliance assumption undermines the practical relevance of ideal theory. I argue that Schmidtz's criticisms of full compliance do not succeed. Understanding why his arguments fail requires an examination of both Schmidtz's and Rawls's views of the nature of justice and the function of political philosophy. I explain why full compliance can plausibly be assumed in Rawls's ideal theory given the conception of justice he employs, and articulate the problem Schmidtz's argument faces if it relies on his view of the role of political philosophy.

Without Data Governance principles and policies in place, members of the Data Governance team are left with no standards for how to define data, how to identify appropriate sources for reporting and compliance activities, and who is responsible for the associated technical and business processes.Data Governance principles and policies establish the core objectives and basis for measuring compliance. Principles and policies identify the roles and responsibilities and are used for communications and education throughout the enterprise.
A key aspect of creating Data Governance principles is to make them short and sweet so everyone can remember! The principles establish the data culture, drive desired outcomes and form the Data Governance roadmap. Data Governance policies can then be developed for multiple principles and are used to measure Data Governance compliance. The policies outline the What, Why and Who level and support the operating procedures and standards. Implementing both Data Governance principles and policies into practice provides your team with the guidance and knowledge necessary to succeed.

An Injector Component Model for Complete Microfluidic Electrokinetic Separation Systems
R. Magargle, J.F. Hoburg and T. Mukherjee
Carnegie Mellon University, US
Keywords: microfluidic, electrokinetic, cross, injector
This work presents a closed-form, numerically derived model of a key microfluidic electrokinetic separation system component, the cross injector. The model fits into a framework such that it can be combined with a network of other component models, such as a mixer, reactor, separation channel, and detector, to model a complete microfluidic separation system. The model is based on a reduction of the full 5-dimensional parameter space to a manageable 2-dimensional parameter space. The resultant model is valid for Peclet numbers ranging from 10 to 5000 and shows a worst case variance equal to the channel width squared.
Nanotech 2004 Conference Technical Program Abstract


tourism en Roaming Kyrgyzstan: Beyond the Tourist Track By Jessica JacobsoniUniverse As American foreign travel is concerned, we are more likely to head to Cancun for spring break, or across the border in Canada for some duty-free shopping—not to Kyrgyzstan. The 2008 guidebook Roaming Kyrgyzstan: Beyond the Tourist Track by Jessica Jacobson (an American scholar who lived, worked, and traveled in Kyrgyzstan for two and a half years) sheds light on a place that many would consider far beyond the beaten path. The guidebook contains all of the information you would expect from a guidebook: where to eat, what to eat, where to sleep, prices, where to get a cab ride, and how much it should cost. Expect some anecdotes about Kyrgyz culture, but don't consider it a substitute for an official history. In my opinion, the key to a good guidebook is good organization, and this book could use more organizational clarity. The Table of Contents is broken down into into regions and "areas," but I could not determine the difference between a region and an area, if regions were parts of areas (there are only two areas compared to nine regions), and what this distinction means for travelers. After the contents, introduction, map, and a brief history, the book opens with "Travel Essentials," or everything you need to know about visas, air travel, train travel, what to bring, communications, publications, and more. "Words You May Hear" (under "Travel Essentials") seems useful at first, but actually contains only three words. A glossary of terms would be a welcome addition. Details about the cities and towns highlighted under the regions seem especially useful; they are broken down into dining and lodging options (ranging from upscale to should probably avoid), phone numbers, people to talk to, attractions, and websites where available. Some of the entries, such as local restaurants, are "starred" with two asterisks, meaning they are especially recommended by the author. But if you don't catch that brief note in the introduction, you'll be scratching your head the entire book as I was about what those asterisks are supposed to indicate. There aren't many photos in the book, and where there are images it would have been nice if they had captions. With so much information spanning geographic areas in a single page spread, it isn't clear which image corresponds to what place. Should the book be reprinted, I would also suggest including a key and an image list. Based on this book and Jacobson's travels—do I want to visit Kyrgystan? Absolutely. The strongest impression I received is that Kyrgyzstan is "a nature-lover's dream," to quote Jacobson. Although the tourism industry is still in the process of being developed (with positive results), the country can be described as being well-suited and hospitable to backpacking, hiking, skiing (on virtually deserted slopes!), nature photography, horseback riding, camping, visiting or living in yurts, and numerous mineral and hot springs/spas and sanatoriums. Everywhere there seems to be a guest house (or yurt) with someone willing to show a foreigner around, and Jacobson never mentions encountering problems being an American woman on her own in Kyrgyzstan. The activities Jacobson participates in aren't the typical tourist activities; they include long (and difficult) hikes and local festivals. Yet for those who want a shopping mall, she tells you where to find one. Roaming Kyrgyzstan is well-suited to assist the adventurous DIY traveler.

For many years, I had a dream; I wanted very badly to visit mysterious India. Last month my wish unexpectedly came true. Forbidden Sun Dance, my most recent documentary, was selected to compete in the Tri-Continental Human Rights Film Festival in India. This was a great opportunity to discover the land of my dreams. While on tour with the festival, I was invited to watch Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire in a fancy movie theatre in the dazzling and enormous city of Mumbai by a lovely Bollywood moviemaking couple. I had never seen such a theatre anywhere in North America! For double the ticket price, you get a seat in which you can actually lie down! Superbly comfortable, they were a bit like those huge massage chairs that I had seen in shopping malls in Canada. I felt very strange sitting in that chair, munching on popcorn and watching not a fantasy-filled Bollywood movie, but a somewhat more realistic portrayal of life in India... Bollywood – My Childhood Love As a little girl growing up in Iran, and like millions of others living in Eastern countries, I loved Bollywood movies. They were all colour and glamour and rosy pictures of India, that heaven on earth; the country of love and flowers. In my childish imagination, Bollywood's India was the best place on the planet to live and be in love. For hours, my cousins and I would sit watching Bollywood movies and later try to imitate those gorgeous Indian actresses. We would draw moles between our eyebrows and put on lots of makeup stolen from our mothers. We would wrap Granny's colourful hijab around our bodies and pretend it was a sari while dancing along with the actresses and lip syncing all the songs that we knew by heart without understanding more than few words! We all wanted to steal the heart of the main actor, Amitabh Bachchan. He was the most gorgeous man ever: tall, handsome, and an amazing dancer, he was our superbly passionate romantic hero who would do anything for

Hi alexandertg6! Welcome to PF!
a uniform beam of length 12.0 m is supported by a horizontal cable and a hinge at angle θ = 70° with the vertical. The tension in the cable is 500 N. Find the gravitational force on the beam in unit vector notation and the force on the beam from the hinge in unit vector notation.
T =.5(horizontal distance) ( gravity) (mass)/ vertical distance
500 = (.5(9.8)(12sin70)m)/(12cos70)
hmm … you've taken moments about the hinge
but what's 12sin70º?

Impairment Notification Forms
A protection impairment occurs when a fire (or explosion) prevention, protection, alarm or supervisory system is shut off, impaired or otherwise taken out of service completely or in part. The protective, alarm or supervisory function then cannot be met. Fire protection systems include sprinkler, water spray, carbon dioxide and clean agent systems.
While planned protection impairments may be necessary during maintenance, renovation and new construction, it must be understood that when any protection impairment occurs, the facility is in jeopardy. Many large losses might have remained small if the protection impairments had been properly managed. When an impairment is planned or occurs accidentally, precautionary measures are necessary to minimize the risk. These may include arranging temporary protection, reducing hazards and ensuring continual and speedy progress on restoration efforts.
Select the respective form for your global region and language then use Acrobat Reader v.7 or newer on a Windows desktop to open, complete and send your notification to AXA XL Risk Consulting. These forms are intended to help document and manage your protective system's impairment through completion.

The 3 Effective Ways For A Woman To Survive The Air National Guard
The training to become an Air National Guard is difficult. There are a lot of men who fails due to the tedious kind of training that they have to go through. If you will think about it, it is much harder to pass the training if you are a woman. Don't worry because here are some useful ways on how a woman can ace the training and survive to be the next Air National Guard. Check it out.
1. Start physical training ahead of time
It is a must if you want to make things easier for yourself once you are in the training proper. Do push ups and sit ups. The more you can do the better. It is because when you are in training, there will be a lot more of that. Most of the time, it is unexpected as one team member may have done something wrong, but all of you will be punished.
2. Practice more water intake
When you start with the training, there will be no juice or soda available. Almost all of the time, they will tell you to drink water. It will happen before meals, while you are eating and after eating. It could also happen when you are about to start with some of the exercises. Drinking lots of water may be though for some who is not used to drinking a lot. Practice makes you better so start preparing.
3. Practice eating fast
Some women often take time when eating but once you are on the training ground, every second count. You need to be able to eat fast so you can keep up with the others. If you can't eat fast enough, it will result to low energy on your part because you will not be able to finish your food.
Just take note of the three effective ways, and you will have no problem in completing the training with flying colors.
The 4 Steps On How To Be A Pilot For Air National Guard
Individuals who join the Air National Guard often have a dream to be flying one of the aircraft used by the reserve force. However, it is not easy as there are a lot of things that you have to do. Check out the steps on how you can be one of the pilots for the Air National Guard of the United States.
1. Complete the preliminary requirements
There are various things that you have to prepare as the first step to becoming a pilot. One of them is that you should have gone through the training to be a pilot even before you reach thirty. There is a physical exam that you need to pass. Aside from that, you should be a four-year degree holder. You should also possess an experience when it comes to flying.
2. Take all the necessary tests needed
If you want to be a pilot for the Air National Guard, the passion you have for flying is not enough. There are a couple of tests that needs to be completed. You need to take AFOQT or Air Force Qualifying Officer Test. It will test your academic skills though it is more inclined on the technical aspect. Aside from that, you also need to pass the Test of Basic Aviation Skills. It is like a practical exam, and there will be just a couple of question in the end.
3. Get your PCSM
You will not be able to get this Pilot Candidate Selection Member number if you fail the Basic Aviation Skills test. Through this number, your performance during the training will be assessed.
4. Find a unit and apply
Among the three steps indicated, finding a group seemed to be the easiest, but it's not. There are a lot of people applying for the position, and that means the competition is fierce. It is highly recommended to apply for different units, so you will have a better chance of getting hired.
If you can complete all these steps, you are one step closer to your dream in becoming a pilot for the Air National Guard.
The 3 Great Tips That You Should Follow Before Your Military Training
If you have decided to join the military, expect that it will not be an easy path. There will be a lot of things and hardships that you will have to go through. If you want to succeed, check out these great tips that you can follow before you start your training with the military.
1. Do not be the center of attention
When you get ready for the military training, make sure to pack all the things that you would need in basic colors. It could either be black or brown, and that's it. You do not want to get to do push-ups on the first time you meet your instructor, right? Make sure to keep a low profile. Aside from that, the branded things are a big no. You should be able to blend in.
2. Mark your things
In a military training facility, it is common that there are a lot of stuff that would go missing. It is due to a lot of things. The best thing that you can do is mark your belongings with a black marker with your name. Luck may be on your side, and you will always know which your belongings are.
3. Quit your vices
Start preparing yourself even before you set foot in the training camp. If you are a chain smoker or a heavy drinker, better start quitting as soon as possible as it is for your benefit. There is no smoking and drinking allowed in training camp, so better have all the withdrawal issues while you are still out rather than having it as a problem when you start your training.
These are the three tips that you should follow if you want to achieve success in military training. Following these tips will also make your life easier while you are in the training facilities.

The Daily Telegraph (and other media channels) reported that the actress Mo'Nique caused quite a stir at the Golden Globe Awards, not only for winning an award, but also for her 'fashion faux pas'. That is, she had hairy legs. Such reactions tell us something about gendered identities and specifically about cultural notions of what is means to be a woman.
The negotiation and representation of women's identities centre around what is called 'emphasized femininity' (Connell and Messerschmidt, 2005). That is 'emphasized femininity' is a normative femininity, which is oriented to accommodating the interests and needs of men. It presents as the current most honored way of being a woman, even though most women do not enact it. However all women are required to position themselves, and are positioned by others, in relation to this ideal form (Giddens, 2009). Specific practices associated with 'emphasized femininity' include presenting oneself as 'sexually attractive' by being 'well-groomed'. In other words, removing body hair other than on the head (and perhaps the genitalia). Those that fail to conform to this norm tend to be held accountable.

We Just Disagree - Billy Dean
So let's leave it alone,
As the song notes, sometimes "we just disagree". In economic life people often disagree about how resources should be used. Some may want to use a tract of land to build houses, another to farm, and still another may want to have the land used as a nature preserve. In his article, The Problem of Social Cost, Ronald Coase talks about the "reciprocal nature of the problem". What does Coase's insight tell us about how disagreements can be settled efficiently? What barriers exist to solving these problems efficiently in real life?

I'm wondering if any one knows a javascript formula which calculates the max number of tiles that would appear on the user's screen at any given time based on their screen size...
For example: If we say the screen size is 1200pixels by 600pixels and the tiles are 64 pixels by 32 pixels.
In a birds eye view this is easy to calculate but isometric kinda makes it all a bit more confusing for me to understand how to implement such a calculation in my code.
Does any one have any insight how to calculate it?

What are the details of the plane? E.g. the distance and angle from the screen? – Phil H Apr 5 '12 at 14:09

Assuming you are counting only tiles that fit fully (without getting cut-off):
 var verticalCount = Math.floor(windowHeight / tileHeight);
 var horizontalCount = Math.floor(windowWidth / tileWidth);
 var totalCount = verticalCount * horizontalCount;
If you want to count also tiles that fit partially (getting cut off by the window), just change both instances of Math.floor to Math.ceil above.

This only works for birds eye view, in isometric you end up with empty spaces in all 4 corners. The maths is different because the tiles are essentially at an angle. I already tried you're approach :P – Dave Mar 9 '12 at 1:26
If this answer is not sufficient, I suggest you un-accept it. – Phil H Apr 5 '12 at 14:08

If you are wanting to fill the screen with isometric tiles, not a board, and not counting the half tiles that could be displayed, then the formula would be
var cols = Math.floor(windowWidth/tileWidth)
var rows = Math.floor(windowHeight/tileHeight)
var totalCount = (rows * cols) + ((rows-1)*cols)
this will give you the number of complete isometric tiles that can fit in that space.

Avoiding False Alarms Due To Chemical Fogging
Some of the reputed industries spray chemical fog for prevention of mosquitoes. In such cases the installed fire detection & alarm system within the factory/plant/warehouse, detects the smoke and indicates the smoke alarm on panel. The respective area hooter cum strobes start sounding the alarm/alert.
What is a chemical fog?
Chemical fog is an obscuring haze of dust or smoke.
FINDINGS OF ALARM:
During chemical fogging, the Beam detectors installed above 7mtr elevation height and smoke detector (multi-sensor) installed below 7mtr elevation height detects alarm on main fire alarm panel.
Beam Detector: Smoke cuts the IR rays between Transceivers & Reflector or between transmitter and receiver, which indicates the alarm condition on main fire alarm panel.
Multi sensor detector: Once smoke enters the detector, the multi sensor detector consisting of optical smoke and thermistor temperature sensors which gives a combined signal (Smoke & heat), also separate signal of heat detection to main control panel.
To resolve such issues below listed options can be useful:
- Disarm the Particular loop or zone for entire duration of fogging. This disarm can be preprogramed or scheduled based on timer, so there is no need to Arm-Disarm the system manually on daily basis. This would avoid generating any false alarm or main alarm during fogging in the plant/factory. But the main drawback is that during this period if any accidental FIRE occurs, then it will not raise the Alarm on fire alarm panel.
- Use the Video Based Smoke & Fire Detector (VSFD) cameras which can be installed in low level height tentatively at 3 to 4mtr from floor. The camera can detect the smoke & fire as well as it can be useful for regular CCTV monitoring of focused area. How does it distinguish Flame & Smoke?
- Open Area Smoke Imaging Detector (OSID) utilizes an extensive technology designed for open areas in factory or warehouses where smoke & fire detection present unique challenges. Detector consists of two wavelength detection technics, by using duel wavelengths of light to detect the particles of smoke/dust/fog. The system has ability to distinguish by size of the particle, like longer Infrared (IR) wavelength is affected mostly by large size only, however shorter Ultraviolet (UV) wavelength interacts strongly with both size (small & large). Both wavelength path loss measurements allow OSID to give repeatable smoke obscuration, while dismissing the availability of dust as well as solid obstacles.
OSID is deemed to be a viable solution comprising of an Imager and seven numbers of emitters, which will replace the originally installed detection system. It delivers confirmed results, including unsurpassed resistance to reflections, condensation, dust, fog, steam and other obstacles like flying pigeon, also high tolerance to vibrations and any movement.
BENEFITS OF VSFD OVER OSID:
- VSFD price is 3 times higher than OSID detector.
- OSID can be integrate with any existing installed FDAS system with help of addressable monitor module, for VSFD monitor module and recording server controller or Video Management Server software need to install in any one workstation within the site.
BENEFITS OF VSFD OVER OSID:
- VSFD mounting is very easy & at accessable height, no need to mount at roof height level like OSID.
- Because of low mounting height the detection will be quicker than OSID

What is a Thermal Lance?
A Thermic Lance is a steel pipe packed with mixed metal wires.
Pure oxygen gas is passed through the pipe from an oxygen cylinder and regulator. The end of the pipe is lit with a high temperature source, e.g. an oxy-acetylene torch. The iron in the steel burns in the oxygen coming down the pipe to produce enormous heat and a liquid slag of iron oxides and other materials, which dribbles and splashes out, just like an enormous firework sparkler.
The temperature reached in the centre of the combustion zone is approx. 4000 degrees Celsius, greater than the melting point of any substance on earth. By the way of comparison, concrete melts at 1800 - 2500 degrees Celsius and steel at less than 1500 degrees Celsius. Also, because it runs on oxygen, the lance can cut underwater.

Theloskrit is a language derived from Latin. It implements many guttural sounds, and is in this manner similar to Hebrew. However, the conjugation of person and of tense is more closely related to that of Swahili than any other language, in that it uses prefixes to differentiate between the tenses. The alphabet, or aleshbene, other than having a few vague similarities to the Greek and Russian alphabets, is unlike any other used. It contains twenty-four letters: seven vowels and seventeen consonants. It is not a holy or sacred language, but it is sometimes used in the reading of Scriptures, and has traces of monotheism woven into the language. For example: there are seven persons for which a verb may be conjugated; the normal six: first, second, and third, singular and plural, but there is also a separate conjugation for God. There are also separate subject and object pronouns to be used for God and God alone.
There is no font available for Theloskrit as of yet. On this page, the letters of the alphabet are transcribed into the Latin alphabet. This also will serve to make pronouncing words the first time easier. Speaking Theloskrit is very simple; the letters and sounds are always consistent. On this site are also some translated texts, a vocabulary, the Theloskrit numeric system, and basic instruction for writing Theloskrit.

Natura Morta
 - G3002
 - F58
 - D0
 - "Natura Morta" is a musical concert where the only instruments used are real fruits and the sound we'll hear is exclusively the electric energy contained within them.
 The elettric power of the humans getting mixed with the energy of the fruits makes the sound audible, is the fisical contact between human and nature that generate the music.
 Each fruit has acid in it that produces electrical tension, using a special technique we can boost these frequencies making the inaudible audible,
 the sound of the vital energy of nature.
 The individual fruits are raised on wooden platforms, standing on a transparent plexiglass plate lit from under. Each time a fruit plays its base will lit up, staining the surrounding space, making it changeable and dinamic. Each platform is a home made midi controller which allow us to modulate the sound wave's, creating more complex rhythms and sounds.
 The sound frequencies are emphasized by a large videoprojection representing a macro vision of the fruits.
 Slowly the concrete images becomes abstract, the Natura morta (Still life) picture changes reacting precisely to the sound vawes,
 crashing and dissolving into pure shapes of colors and lights.

Mathematics is remarkably effective in describing the physical world in part due to isomorphisms, relationships between concepts that reveal a similar underlying structure. In 1935 Charles Vernon Theis was working on groundwater flow, a subject with little mathematical treatment at the time. He thought that perhaps a well tapping a confined aquifer could be described using the same mathematics as the heat flow of a thin wire drawing heat from a large plate, as this work was better established. With a little bit of help from C. I. Lubin and considering how parameters describing underground water flow could be compared to those describing heat flow in solid materials, he developed the Theis equation which is used to this day to model the response of a confined aquifer to pumping over time.
I developed a small program which allows visualization of the potentiometric surface of a confined aquifer subject to pumping using Processing. This particular example uses aquifer and pumping parameters from a Geo-Slope whitepaper.
The source code may be downloaded here. All values including aquifer, pumping, visualization, and numerical parameters may be varied to apply to a wide variety of situations. The exponential integral (or "well function") is calculated using a numerical approximation accurate to at least 1 part in 10,000,000.
