As you are aware many riders love to travel and camp, I am one of them.
Many of these adventurous people strap a swag on their Tail Rack.
They may refer to this as "Motorbike Swagging" or "Freedom. You will usually find these riders sitting around a camp fire enjoying the stars.
If you enjoyed laying on the trampoline when you were a child, perhaps you may prefer to Suspend from the Trees in a Tent Cot Hammock. What a great way to sleep in comfort off the cold ground.
Another portable option may be a Camp Cot.
The following video provides a demonstration of how comfortable a Folding Camp Cot Bed can be.
No room on your bike? You may even obtain a little more comfort by placing the Camp Cot on a Sidecar.
With Motorcycle Camping Sidecars and Motorcycle Camper Trailers you can Explore the World.
How would you like to travel? Haul a Camper Trailer or Attach a Camping Sidecar?
Here is a great example of a Trailer Camper from Tour-Lite Camping & Leisure Trailers. This Camper is very compact, but large enough to sleep two people, with storage.
Another example from Time Out Trailers. This clever design will provide more space when camped. Great to sit out of the sun and mosquitoes.
Here is another large living space from a tiny motorcycle trailer, amazing.
I think I would have to practice setting it up many times before I went camping. I love the space it can create.
Now let's look at Motorcycle Caravans. A lovely shape is the Teardrop Camper.
This video is a tour of a Teardrop camper that is lived in permanently. Thank you Jaclyn.
Here is a similar idea. This Propert Caravan is a folding caravan that would make a perfect design for a motorcycle camper. It just needs to be made a bit smaller, but there is a lot of potential for the right manufacturer.
Wow that was easy to Dis-assemble. Here is a demonstration of the assembly.
9′ Trailer becomes a 12′ Caravan.
Perhaps you would prefer this type of Motorcycle Camp Trailer. Sidecar, Caravan and Boat – All in One. Perfect.
Question: What is smaller than a Teardrop Camper, that can still sleep a person?
How about a Sidecar Camper?
Here are some clever ideas to design a sidecar into a camper.
Personally, I have slept in tents, swags, caravans and camp trailers. I think it would be cool to sleep in a sidecar.
Now, shall I get a Spud? Perhaps a Sidecar Camper. Hmm. It all sounds fun.
Perhaps I should convert my Motorcycle Trailer, instead of carrying wood on it.
Then I could use my Wheelchair Accessible Sidecar to fetch wood for the fire.
Only Joking. I hope I have inspired you to get out into nature and enjoy some comfort on your ride.
That is pretty cool that they sell all of these accessories for motorcycles. To be quite honest with you I have been riding motorcycles for about 2 years and didn't even realize you could buy all these accessories for them.
I really like the one where you can attach your tent to your motorcycle. I love to camp and never actually thought of going camping and taking my tent (and my girlfriend) or course with me.
However, I do have a question for you. Where is the best place to get one of these accessories? They are probably pretty expensive, right?

Grade 6 Business Math Block - An Anchor for the Future
Just before February break, Grade 6 completed their Business Math/Economics Block. The class traced the evolution of money from self-sufficiency and bartering to the currency we use today, and delved into percents, their relationship to fractions and decimals, and their role in discounts, taxes, and profits.
They then put this learning right to practical use, as each student designed a business and guessed at the costs of running it. They also learned a bit about how to promote their business by making posters, writing a classified ad, and preparing notes for a radio interview. On the accounting end, each student received a checkbook and register and learned how to use them, and received a 'monthly salary' to use to pay all of their bills (mortgage, phone/internet, gas for the car, groceries, etc.). With the money left in their accounts, the students made spending decisions and purchased hypothetical goods from the other businesses - i.e. skirts from the clothing store, a car from the auto dealer (after calculating the monthly payment they could afford), a meal from the café, etc.
Grade 6 Teacher Libby Case remarked that this block was another opportunity "to build a sort of anchor in the students to attach things to. For instance, when we teach Greek history the students don't delve into all of it, but when they go to college they have something to draw from to build that new learning upon."
The students wrapped up the block with a Snack Store the last few days before break, using their new skills in a store setting. Snacks were purchased in bulk and a markup was chosen; profits from the sale will be donated to the Orchard School of Montreal. The school visited OVWS last fall and shared that many of the students are quite poor and lack the funds to bring snacks to school, so the school solicits donations from stores to provide this for their students. "We thought that by selling snacks here we could provide them with snacks there," said Libby Case. As a result of the students' efforts, they earned $100 that they'll be sending to Orchard School in Montreal.
When school resumes after break, the 6th Grade will visit VSECU in Montpelier to learn how the credit union works.
The Spirit of Michaelmas Can Be Found in the 8th Grade Pewter Guild
In the spirit of Michaelmas, our inspired handwork and practical arts teacher Kate Camiletti guided the 8th grade students through a process that transforms soapstone to pewter. The students learned to gauge concave forms that will hold the liquified pewter, which cools to form mirror convex formsin the molds created by hand.
The students have studied Medieval and Renaissance guilds and their craftsmanship in grades six and seven, where the use of pewter was common on farms and in great houses. The students enjoyed this hands-on, multi-sensory workshop where traditional artisan techniques awaken the capacity for three-dimensional thinking. read more (more photos, too!)
The spirit of Michaelmas in the Waldorf school is often represented by the blacksmith transforming stiff, cold iron to molten, curving, flowing forms in the traditions of Medieval craftsmanship. As we move from the glories of golden summer toward the harvesting of summer's fruit, our traditional festival of Michaelmas celebrates this very process. Here we see the forging, transformative power of imagination and inspired learning that is possible in a community of artisan-teachers, students and parents re-inventing a new art of learning.

Q: Getting the size of jpeg image I am trying to get the size of an image file by doing the following
fp = fopen(path,"rb");
fseek(fp,0,SEEK_END);
size = ftell(fp);
fseek(fp,0,SEEK_SET);

The problem is that when I get to the first fseek my program terminates. I have tested with a text files and it works and have seen some other examples online where the same method applies to images.

A: you are very closed, just a small difference
FILE *f = fopen("filename", "rb");
long size = 0;

if (f == NULL)
 printf("error"); //handle error
else
{
fseek(f, 0, SEEK_END);
size = ftell(f);
}

Medication cabinet and mirrors for the bathroom, today it is hard to envision a modern-day bathroom without a mirror. Its selection must become close to thoroughly, considering vital information as the size, shape, and functionality of the product. The correct choice for this item of providing will certainly address several issues with the interior aesthetic. The bathroom mirror is different from an average one in the feeling that it will certainly offer in problems of high humidity and temperature level. So it makes sense to offer preference to designs in which, the frames are made from water-resistant materials as well as are covered by a protective layer of lacquer. Furthermore, it is advised to choose a mirror, which was made with silver-based amalgam which gives resistance to water. This alternative will please the owner with its lengthy life, high-quality features of water resistance as well as simplicity of care.
Bathroom mirrors used by newbathroomstyle.com are identified by toughness characteristics, the initial design, and the range of shapes and colors. The mix of performance as well as beauty, the appropriately selected shape as well as in a correct area the mirror is able to change the interior of any kind of bathroom. This is especially true in the tiny room where the shown beams make the room brighter, producing the impression of extra space. Some layout methods will certainly help to positively transform the bathroom. As an example, oval mirrors aesthetically elevate the ceiling line, making the room appear taller. Square, as well as rectangle-shaped designs located on contrary walls, expand the narrow space. Mirrors that have a special moisture-resistant layer needs to not be placed near the wall. You have to leave a little space for much better ventilation. This action will prevent the look of mold and peeling of the amalgam, which could detrimentally affect the receptivity as well as the stability of the mirror surface.
Medication Cabinets must be comfortable, beautiful and must go well with your bathroom vanity. Having an enjoyable look, it must fit in a certain quantity of area as well as still hold required items. In addition, it is desirable that the material of the furniture needs to be of top quality and dampness resistance because it will need to offer substantial time in contact with water.
Medicine Cabinets will certainly be the ideal option for the organization of smaller sized and more previously owned things in the bathroom, right after the bathroom vanity. It concurrently performs two features: it offers both as a mirror and also as a cabinet, which is really hassle-free. The cabinet can accommodate a selection of hair, face, as well as a body treatment, as well as all type of containers as well as containers.
Checking out the Medicine Cabinet as well as Mirror for the bathroom as a modern-day kind of furniture, it is worth noting not just its capability however the convenience in cleansing, making hygiene as well as naturally as a stylish part of the decor.
The presence of the mirror in the bathroom gives it the area to try out style and also lights. The play of light and also darkness, multiple representations, soft light produce a relaxing as well as intimate atmosphere. Aesthetically broadening the room can make space a lot brighter and also much more room.
When having actually decided on getting a mirror with a light fixture for the bathroom, it is very important to figure out if it is risk-free to utilize it in a damp environment. Power as well as water, when used with each other, could create a risk to life and health and wellness. The choice of lights needs to be approached very carefully. Purchase a version that fully satisfies the safety specifications. Preference ought to be given to lamps which are shut and nonporous to moisture within. Likewise, you should provide choice to the ones that have a water-resistant cartridge. Major business with long backgrounds of success generates flawless mirror cabinets with lights, the style which takes into account all the undesirable variables. Design of a mirror with illumination permits you to see your reflection plainly: ladies will really conveniently use make-up and guys will certainly shave swiftly and with maximum comfort. If you select the added choice for the model with home heating, you could forget the stains and streaks of water. The reflective surface area will certainly never ever fog up, and also the condensate on it will not be created. Today, modern models of the initial mirrors from domestic and international manufacturers allow you organize the interior in your preferred design from timeless to hi-tech. Economical prices make it feasible for all categories of prospective purchasers, no matter their condition as well as wide range.

Prokaryotic Cells: Cell Envelopes and Cell Membrane Invagination (Mesosome)
You all have heard a lot about bacteria. Do you think that bacteria also know how to swim, walk, hangout and chill with their friends?
Yes, is it interesting? Now you also must be wondering how is it possible? Yes, it is possible because they have the cell appendages like cilia and flagella, helping them to move, swim or adhere to a surface. Fimbriae and pili even help bacteria to make sexual contact with each other by forming bridge like connections.
You know, being so small in size, their life expectancy becomes very low but thanks to the protective covering they have. Yes, the cell wall and cell membrane. They make a strong shield around them to fight off all the enemies.
Now let's know some more interesting things like this, which enable them to survive better in their habitats.
Cell envelopes
Cell membrane invagination
It is the outer covering which protects the cytoplasm. A bacterial cell is protected by three outer coverings adhered together as a single unit. They are as follows:
Glycocalyx - Outer slime layer or capsule
A middle cell wall
An inner cell membrane
Glycocalyx
Glycocalyx is an outermost layer of the bacterial cells. It normally protects the cell and helps in adhesion also. It normally differs in thickness and composition. It can have the following compositions:
Slime layer
The glycocalyx is in the form of loose gelatinous sheath here. It normally protects the cells from leakage of materials like water and nutrients.
The glycocalyx is thick and tough here. It is made up of polysaccharides and proteins. It protects the cell against desiccation, antibiotics and viral attack. Gelatinous glycocalyx glues together the bacterial cells to form colonies. It provides virulence also.
Cell wall
It is the middle layer of the cell envelope of a prokaryote which is sandwiched between the glycocalyx and cell membrane. Cell wall in bacteria is made up of peptidoglycan which contains polymers of modified sugars (such as N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetyl muramic acid) cross linked with some short peptides. Teichoic acid is also a component of the cell wall in some bacteria. Mycoplasma lacks a cell wall. Cell wall composition varies in gram negative and gram positive bacteria. Cell wall maintains shape and provides support and strength to the majority of the prokaryotic cells such as bacteria. It prevents the bacteria from bursting.
Cell membrane is the innermost layer of the cell envelope. The membranes are quasi (partly) fluid in nature. It is selectively permeable to some molecules present on either side of it. Most of the bacterial cell membrane lacks sterols like-cholesterol. In some bacteria, pentacyclic molecules can be present in cell membranes termed hopanoids. They help to stabilise the molecular structure of membranes. It is made up of lipoprotein and has membrane proteins (integral and peripheral) incorporated for movement of molecules. The 'fluid mosaic model' is used to explain the exact structure of the cell membrane. Cell membrane controls the movement of molecules into and out of the cell. In prokaryotes, the cell membrane acts as a respiratory membrane since it contains respiratory enzymes. It infolds to form specialised structures called mesosomes.
Cell membrane has following invaginations in bacteria:
Mesosomes
Chromatophores
Mesosomes are formed by the infoldings of the plasma membrane. They bear respiratory enzymes. They are formed of vesicles, lamellae and tubules.
Types of Mesosomes
They are of two types as follows:
Septal Mesosome
They are seen associated with the chromosomes or cell wall of dividing cells. It is commonly involved in the cell wall formation, chromosome replication, and distribution of chromosomes to daughter cells.
Lateral Mesosome
They are not seen associated with the nucleoid. It possesses respiratory enzymes.
Functions of Mesosomes
The main functions of mesosomes are as follows:
Cell wall formation.
DNA replication.
Distribution of replicated DNA to the daughter cells.
Increasing surface area of the plasma membrane.
Respiration.
Secretory and enzymatic activity.
These are the membranous extensions containing pigment molecules such as bacteriochlorophyll. These are abundantly found in cyanobacteria or blue green algae. Their main role is photosynthesis. They may be of different shapes like lamellar, tubular or vesicular in shape.
Practice Problems of Prokaryotic Cells
Q1. Which of these bacteria lack a cell wall?
Escherichia
Mycobacterium
Solution: Cell wall maintains the shape and provides support and strength to the majority of the prokaryotic cells such as bacteria. It prevents the bacteria from bursting. Mycoplasma lacks a cell wall. Hence option c is correct.
Q2. Mesosome is derived from ____________.
Plasmid
Solution: Mesosomes are formed by the infoldings of the plasma membrane. They bear respiratory enzymes. They are formed of vesicles, lamellae and tubules. Hence option d is correct.
Q3. Which of these bacteria have chromatophores?
Cyanobacteria
Solution: Chromatophores are the membranous extensions containing pigment molecules such as bacteriochlorophyll. These are abundantly found in cyanobacteria or blue green algae. Their main role is photosynthesis. Hence option d is correct.
Q4. The cell wall of Eubacteria is made up of _________________.
Peptidoglycan
Solution: Cell wall in bacteria is made up of peptidoglycan which contains polymers of modified sugars (such as N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetyl muramic acid) cross linked with some short peptides. Hence the correct option is a.
Q5. What is the main role of the cell wall in prokaryotic cells?
Solution: In prokaryotic cells, the cell wall protects the cells against changes in osmotic pressure and allows it to maintain its shape.
FAQs of Prokaryotic Cells
Question1. Name the type of bacteria whose chromatophores are more complex and extensive?
Answer: Photosynthetic bacteria have more complex and extensive chromatophores because of their internal membrane systems.
Question2. Do you think the composition of cell membranes is the same in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Answer: Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have a plasma membrane, It is made up of lipoproteins and has membrane proteins (integral and peripheral) incorporated for movement of molecules. The same 'fluid mosaic model' is used to explain the structure of cell membranes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Question3. Bacteria cause diseases, then why can't we just wipe them out from the Earth?
Answer: Bacteria are believed to have existed on Earth for over 3 thousand million years whereas Early man emerged 250 thousand years ago only. They perform various functions. They are involved in nutrient recycling and a part of the detritus food chain. They help in fermentation also.
Question4. Are mesosomes similar to mitochondria?
Answer: Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. They are present in eukaryotic cells. Mesosomes are the invaginations of the plasma membrane present in prokaryotic cells. They are also involved in cellular respiration. They can be considered analogous to cristae in the mitochondria. Cristae are finger-like projections and help mainly the eukaryotic cells to undergo cellular respiration.
