Most people find waterbeds uncomfortable unless the water temperature is maintained at about 85 °F. Unless it is heated, a waterbed that contains 892 L of water cools from 85 °F to 72 °F in 24 hours. Estimate the amount of electrical energy required over 24 hours, in kWh, to keep the bed from cooling. Note that 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) = 3.6 ×× 106 J, and assume that the density of water is 1.0 g/mL (independent of temperature). What other assumptions did you make? How did they affect your calculated result (i.e., were they likely to yield "positive" or "negative" errors)?
A 500-mL bottle of water at room temperature and a 2-L bottle of water at the same temperature were placed in a refrigerator. After 30 minutes, the 500-mL bottle of water had cooled to the temperature of the refrigerator. An hour later, the 2-L of water had cooled to the same temperature. When asked which sample of water lost the most heat, one student replied that both bottles lost the same amount of heat because they started at the same temperature and finished at the same temperature. A second student thought that the 2-L bottle of water lost more heat because there was more water. A third student believed that the 500-mL bottle of water lost more heat because it cooled more quickly. A fourth student thought that it was not possible to tell because we do not know the initial temperature and the final temperature of the water. Indicate which of these answers is correct and describe the error in each of the other answers.

Under the conditions of the reaction, methanol forms as a gas. Calculate ΔH°ΔH° for this reaction and for the condensation of gaseous methanol to liquid methanol.
(c) Calculate the heat of combustion of 1 mole of liquid methanol to H2O(g) and CO2(g).
In the early days of automobiles, illumination at night was provided by burning acetylene, C2H2. Though no longer used as auto headlamps, acetylene is still used as a source of light by some cave explorers. The acetylene is (was) prepared in the lamp by the reaction of water with calcium carbide, CaC2:
CaC2(s)+2H2O(l)⟶Ca(OH)2(s)+C2H2(g).CaC2(s)+2H2O(l)⟶Ca(OH)2(s)+C2H2(g).
Calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction. The ΔHf°ΔHf° of CaC2 is −15.14 kcal/mol.
From the data in Table 5.2, determine which of the following fuels produces the greatest amount of heat per gram when burned under standard conditions: CO(g), CH4(g), or C2H2(g).
The enthalpy of combustion of hard coal averages −35 kJ/g, that of gasoline, 1.28 ×× 105 kJ/gal. How many kilograms of hard coal provide the same amount of heat as is available from 1.0 gallon of gasoline? Assume that the density of gasoline is 0.692 g/mL (the same as the density of isooctane).
Ethanol, C2H5OH, is used as a fuel for motor vehicles, particularly in Brazil.
(a) Write the balanced equation for the combustion of ethanol to CO2(g) and H2O(g), and, using the data in Appendix G, calculate the enthalpy of combustion of 1 mole of ethanol.
(b) The density of ethanol is 0.7893 g/mL. Calculate the enthalpy of combustion of exactly 1 L of ethanol.
(c) Assuming that an automobile's mileage is directly proportional to the heat of combustion of the fuel, calculate how much farther an automobile could be expected to travel on 1 L of gasoline than on 1 L of ethanol. Assume that gasoline has the heat of combustion and the density of n–octane, C8H18 (ΔHf°=−208.4kJ/mol;(ΔHf°=−208.4kJ/mol; density = 0.7025 g/mL).
Among the substances that react with oxygen and that have been considered as potential rocket fuels are diborane [B2H6, produces B2O3(s) and H2O(g)], methane [CH4, produces CO2(g) and H2O(g)], and hydrazine [N2H4, produces N2(g) and H2O(g)]. On the basis of the heat released by 1.00 g of each substance in its reaction with oxygen, which of these compounds offers the best possibility as a rocket fuel? The ΔHf°ΔHf° of B2H6(g), CH4(g), and N2H4(l) may be found in Appendix G.
How much heat is produced when 1.25 g of chromium metal reacts with oxygen gas under standard conditions?
Ethylene, C2H4, a byproduct from the fractional distillation of petroleum, is fourth among the 50 chemical compounds produced commercially in the largest quantities. About 80% of synthetic ethanol is manufactured from ethylene by its reaction with water in the presence of a suitable catalyst. C2H4(g)+H2O(g)⟶C2H5OH(l)C2H4(g)+H2O(g)⟶C2H5OH(l)
Using the data in the table in Appendix G, calculate ΔH° for the reaction.
The oxidation of the sugar glucose, C6H12O6, is described by the following equation:
C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)⟶6CO2(g)+6H2O(l)ΔH=−2816kJC6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)⟶6CO2(g)+6H2O(l)ΔH=−2816kJ
The metabolism of glucose gives the same products, although the glucose reacts with oxygen in a series of steps in the body.
(a) How much heat in kilojoules can be produced by the metabolism of 1.0 g of glucose?
(b) How many Calories can be produced by the metabolism of 1.0 g of glucose?
Propane, C3H8, is a hydrocarbon that is commonly used as a fuel.
(a) Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of propane gas.
(b) Calculate the volume of air at 25 °C and 1.00 atmosphere that is needed to completely combust 25.0 grams of propane. Assume that air is 21.0 percent O2 by volume. (Hint: We will see how to do this calculation in a later chapter on gases—for now use the information that 1.00 L of air at 25 °C and 1.00 atm contains 0.275 g of O2 per liter.)
(c) The heat of combustion of propane is −2,219.2 kJ/mol. Calculate the heat of formation, ΔHf°ΔHf° of propane given that ΔHf°ΔHf° of H2O(l) = −285.8 kJ/mol and ΔHf°ΔHf° of CO2(g) = −393.5 kJ/mol.
(d) Assuming that all of the heat released in burning 25.0 grams of propane is transferred to 4.00 kilograms of water, calculate the increase in temperature of the water.
During a recent winter month in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, it was necessary to obtain 3500 kWh of heat provided by a natural gas furnace with 89% efficiency to keep a small house warm (the efficiency of a gas furnace is the percent of the heat produced by combustion that is transferred into the house).
(a) Assume that natural gas is pure methane and determine the volume of natural gas in cubic feet that was required to heat the house. The average temperature of the natural gas was 56 °F; at this temperature and a pressure of 1 atm, natural gas has a density of 0.681 g/L.
(b) How many gallons of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) would be required to replace the natural gas used? Assume the LPG is liquid propane [C3H8: density, 0.5318 g/mL; enthalpy of combustion, 2219 kJ/mol for the formation of CO2(g) and H2O(l)] and the furnace used to burn the LPG has the same efficiency as the gas furnace.
(c) What mass of carbon dioxide is produced by combustion of the methane used to heat the house?
(d) What mass of water is produced by combustion of the methane used to heat the house?
(e) What volume of air is required to provide the oxygen for the combustion of the methane used to heat the house? Air contains 23% oxygen by mass. The average density of air during the month was 1.22 g/L.
(f) How many kilowatt–hours (1 kWh = 3.6 ×× 106 J) of electricity would be required to provide the heat necessary to heat the house? Note electricity is 100% efficient in producing heat inside a house.
(g) Although electricity is 100% efficient in producing heat inside a house, production and distribution of electricity is not 100% efficient. The efficiency of production and distribution of electricity produced in a coal-fired power plant is about 40%. A certain type of coal provides 2.26 kWh per pound upon combustion. What mass of this coal in kilograms will be required to produce the electrical energy necessary to heat the house if the efficiency of generation and distribution is 40%?

Sony Animation Preps Sequel to Hit 'Hotel Transylvania'
Adam Sandler and Selena Gomez lent their voices to the first "Hotel Transylvania"
Lucas Shaw | November 9, 2012 @ 3:44 PM
Sony Pictures Animation will make a sequel to "Hotel Transylania," one of the year's surprise hits, a spokesman for the studio told TheWrap.
Tentatively titled "Hotel Transylvania 2," the film is set for a 2015 release. There is no director attached at the moment. Genndy Tartakovsky, who directed the first one, will be helming Sony Pictures Animation's "Popeye."
"Hotel Transylvania" opened to $42.5 million at the domestic box office and $50.6 worldwide, setting a new record for a September opening. It has grossed more than $250 million at the global box office so far.
Adam Sandler voiced the character of Dracula, who owns the titular five-star resort designed as a place for monsters to relax away from humans. Other monsters such as Murray the Mummy (Cee Lo Green), Frankenstein's Monster (Kevin James) and Griffin the Invisible Man (David Spade) descend upon the hotel for the 118th birthday of Dracula's daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez).
How 'Hotel Transylvania' Beat Its Better-Reviewed Rivals at the Box Office

The following article updates the diffusion index, recession slack index, aggregate recession model, and aggregate peak-trough model through February 2018. The current 21-variable model has a diverse set of explanatory variables and is quite robust. Each of the explanatory variables has predictive power individually; when combined, the group of indicators is able to identify early recession warnings from a wide range of diverse market-based, fundamental, technical, and economic sources.
The graph of the diffusion index from 1/1/2006 to 3/1/2018 is presented in Figure 1 below (in red - left axis). The gray shaded regions in Figure 1 below represent U.S. recessions as defined (after the fact) by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). The value of the S&P 500 index is also included (in blue - right axis).
The U.S. economy flirted with entering a recession in early 2016, which was reflected in the deteriorating economic, fundamental, and especially market-based data. The diffusion index, slack index, and recession probability forecasts all captured the weakening conditions. However, the weakness proved to be temporary and the conditions and recession model forecasts have improved significantly in the past two years. The number of variables indicating a recession is currently zero out of 21 (0.00%), which remained unchanged from last month.
The Trader Edge recession slack index equals the median standardized deviation of the current value of the explanatory variables from their respective recession thresholds. The resulting value signifies the amount of slack or cushion relative to the recession threshold, expressed in terms of the number of standard deviations. Higher slack values signify larger cushions above recessionary threshold levels.
The gray shaded regions in Figure 2 below represent U.S. recessions as defined (after the fact) by the NBER. The median recession slack index is depicted in purple and is plotted against the right axis, which is expressed as the number of standard deviations above the recession threshold.
In mid-2014, the revised median recession slack index peaked at 1.28, far above the warning level of 0.50. The recession slack index declined significantly in 2015 and reached a low 0.34 in February 2016, before rebounding over the next few months. In early 2017, the median recession index peaked at 1.41, but declined in the fall before rebounding at year-end.
In January of 2018, the recession slack index jumped from 1.16 to 1.37. Unfortunately, the improvement proved to be temporary. In February, the median recession slack index gave up all of its January gains and dropped back to 1.16. While the median recession slack index is still significantly above the early warning threshold (0.50), the one-month decline of 0.21 standard deviations is notable.
The 3-month moving average of the percentage of variables with increasing slack dropped from 50.8% to 44.4% in February. Only 33.3% of the variables experienced increasing slack in February, which is abnormally low. New evidence of economic weakness (or strength) often shows up first in this timely metric.
The Trader Edge aggregate recession model is the average of four models: the probit and logit models based on the diffusion index and the probit and logit models based on the recession slack index. The aggregate recession model estimates from 1/1/2006 to 3/01/2018 are depicted in Figure 4 below (red line - left vertical axis). The gray shaded regions represent NBER recessions and the blue line reflects the value of the S&P 500 index (right vertical axis). I suggest using a warning threshold of between 20-30% for the aggregate recession model (green horizontal line).
The aggregate recession model probability estimate remained constant at 0.0% in February. According to the model, the probability that the U.S. is currently in a recession continues to be extremely remote.
The peak-trough model forecasts are different from the recession model. The peak-trough models estimate the probability of the S&P 500 being between the peak and trough associated with an NBER recession. The S&P 500 typically peaks before recessions begin and bottoms out before recessions end. As a result, it is far more difficult for the peak-trough model to fit this data and the model forecasts have larger errors than the recession model.
The aggregate peak-trough model estimates from 1/1/2006 to 3/01/2018 are depicted in Figure 5 below, which uses the same format as Figure 4, except that the shaded regions represent the periods between the peaks and troughs associated with NBER recessions.
The aggregate peak-trough model probability estimate for 3/01/2018 was 3.8%, which was up 0.5% from last month's revised value of 3.3%.
U.S. recession risk remains very low. There is very limited evidence of near-term economic weakness in the explanatory variables, although the magnitude of the one-month decline in the slack index was surprising.
As I have repeatedly emphasized, recessions are not the only source of pullbacks in the equity markets -- as we saw in early February. The U.S. equity market continues to be overvalued and global event risk continues to be elevated. This recent MarketWatch article suggests that "There are only two other times in history when stocks were more expensive than today." On a related topic, Mark Hulbert's latest MarketWatch article demonstrated that the Russell 2000's current P/E ratio is actually 78.7, not the more commonly reported value of 25.6.
Based on the most recent data, the regression model indicates that the expected annual price return of the S&P 500 index for the next 10 years is now negative, with an expected drawdown in that period of over 36% (from current levels). In other words, the expected price return of the SPX is less than 0% per year over the next 10 years, and it is likely that an investor would have the opportunity to purchase the SPX at 64% of its current value sometime in the next 10 years. The risk/return trade off for holding periods as short as three years look equally unattractive, albeit with lower correlations.
I completed a similar historical regression analysis using the "Buffett Indicator", which is the ratio of equity market capitalization to GDP. The correlation is not quite as strong, but is still very significant (-0.74). The Buffett Indicator regression model currently indicates that the expected annual price return of the S&P 500 index for the next 10 years is significantly negative (-4.76%), with an expected drawdown in that 10-year period of over 50% (from current levels).
Overvalued securities can always become more overvalued - especially in the near-term. That said, history offers compelling evidence that bullish equity positions today will face significant headwinds over the coming years.

I pretty much have as little tolerance for retail service stupidity as I have for the TSA. Thus it'll be a cold day in Laughlin in August before you ever see me shopping in a Kohl's department store (founded by the family of liberal Democrat Sen. Herb Kohl) again.
All I needed was a new watchband. Alas, the Kohl's sales-gal at Charleston & Nellis told me she was not allowed to take my old, worn-out watchband off my watch and attach a new one since the watch wasn't originally purchased at Kohl's.
So what? I'm buying the new watchband at Kohl's, right?
I even summoned a manager to make sure this asininity wasn't merely lousy customer service on the part of a low-level hourly employee who didn't know the cardinal rule about the customer always being right. But nope…despite the ongoing recession, even the manager asserted that it was "store policy" not to change the watchband for me since the watch itself hadn't been purchased from Kohl's.
So I left the store, got in my car, drove two blocks up the street and bought a new watchband from WalMart – where the sales clerk cheerfully took off my old watchband and attached the new one. No fuss. No muss. No hassle. No charge.


If you're like the majority of Las Vegas homeowners, you want to keep your heating bills as low as possible. While it rarely freezes in Las Vegas, it is necessary to turn on your heating unit in the late fall and winter, and when you do so, you want to be sure you're not spending too much money.
Fortunately, saving money on your heating bills can be very easy, particularly if you choose the right tips and tricks. Here are a few ideas to help you save money on heating in Las Vegas and advice for making your home more comfortable and energy efficient.
A year round way to help save on energy costs is by adding insulation to your home. While your house has insulation per building code it may not have have enough insulation to really protect against heat-loss in the winter and cooling loss in the summer, which triggers high energy bills. Adding more insulation can help keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer so that you don't have to constantly run your HVAC system to stay comfortable.
If you want to make your home as efficient as possible, you need to make sure that your attic has between five inches and a foot of insulation. Check the level of insulation in your attic, and if it's too low, add some more so that your home will be better protected from heat-loss in the winter and cooling-loss in the summer.
If you're a cost-conscious homeowner, you probably know that turning down your thermostat while you're sleeping or out of the house can help you save a great deal of money. However, because it can be hard to remember to lower your temperature while you're walking out the door or drifting off to sleep, a great way to save money on your heating bill is installing a programmable thermostat.
With a programmable thermostat, you'll never have to worry about forgetting to adjust your home's temperature. All you need to do is set the schedule, and your thermostat will automatically raise and lower the temperature based on your preferences. You should notice almost immediate energy savings after installing your thermostat.
Nest, Ecobee and Honeywell all make "learning" thermostats that interpret data it receives from monitoring your homes conditions as well as your personal habits where it concerns your central heating and cooling systems. While they are a bit pricier than standard digital/programmable thermostats, they are also WIFI enabled and can give you options for setting or changing your thermostat remotely from your phone.
There are countless ways that you could make your home more efficient so that you can save money on heating in Las Vegas, but the most effective strategy is sealing your home to prevent air leaks.
Those small gaps in your doors and windows can allow air to enter and exit your home, making your heater work much hard and driving up your energy costs. By spending just a little time and effort to seal these leaks, you can help your heater work more efficiently and lower your monthly energy costs. Additionally, NV Energy has programs that can assist you with making your home more energy efficient.
If you're interested in learning even more ways to save money on heating in Las Vegas, then you can get advice from the heating and cooling experts at Legacy Air.
Legacy Air is proud to offer our commercial and residential Las Vegas clients with effective heating and cooling services. Whether you're interested in installing a programmable thermostat or need tips for sealing air leaks in your home, our certified technicians can help. Contact us today so that we can assist you with all of your heating and cooling needs.

Colin Cowherd Wife, Daughter, Family, Divorce, Salary, Height, Fox Sports
Profession Media Personalities
Colin Cowherd is an American media person who is famous for his sports shows. He has gained popularity following his earlier works with different media stations including ESPN as well as for his present work with Fox Sports where he hosts The Herd with Colin Cowherd and co-hosts shows including Speak for Yourself with Cowherd & Whitlock alongside Jason Whitlock.
Having risen to be very famous, there are a lot of things that people want to know about him. Here are the things to know about the media person.
Early Life and Rise to Fame
He was born Colin Murray Cowherd on January 6, 1964, in Aberdeen, Washington. Nevertheless, it was in Grayland, Washington that he was raised alongside his sister by his single mother after a divorce from his alcoholic father when Colin and his elder sister were still kids. The reason behind the divorce of his parents was given as the alcoholism of his father.
While growing up, Colin spent most of his time alone with his radio listening to sports shows and that will go on to influence his love for being a part of sports broadcasting. For his education, he attended the Eastern Washington University from where he graduated in 1985.
He did not immediately delve into broadcasting after he left school as he first worked as a teacher for a while before moving on to work with San Diego Padres and then KVBC where he worked as the sports director. His career also had him spending some time with WTVT where he served as a weekend sports anchor.

4 Height – How Tall is Colin Cowherd?
His Career with ESPN and Fox Sports
Colin Cowherd had a rather redefinition of his career when he was hired by ESPN radio in 2003. Before that, he had also spent some time with KGW-TV where he worked as an anchor-man. It was when he was with ESPN radio that he began The Herd with Colin Cowherd in 2004.
The sports anchor remained with ESPN radio until 2015. During his stay with the station, he also hosted other shows including Colin's New Football Show which ran from 2013 to 2014. He left the station in 2015 after a controversy regarding a comment he made about Dominican Republic baseball players whose academic abilities and their intelligence he questioned because he claimed they were from rough backgrounds.
His departure opened him up to sign a contract that would see him remain with Fox Sports for the next 4 years. He continues hosting The Herd on the station, and Kristine Leahy joined him as a co-host before leaving in 2018.
Beyond being a media person, Cowherd is also a writer whose first work, You Herd Me! I'll Say It If Nobody Else Will, was published in 2013 while his next book, Raw: My 100%, Grade-A, Unfiltered, Inside Look at Sports was published 2 years later.
His career that seems to span for almost forever has been crowned with a number of deserved accolades. He was named the Best Pundit of 2012 by PunditTracker following his prowess in predicting sports. Cowherd was also named Radio Personality of 2005 by Sports Illustrated. While he was with KVBC in Las Vegas, Nevada, Colin remained National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association's Nevada's Sportscaster of the Year for as much as five years.
Colin Cowherd's Family, Wife, Daughter, and Divorce
Cowherd was married to Kimberly Ann Vadala. The two got married in 1996 and by 2007, the marriage ended in a divorce. An American model, Kimberly Ann, and the media man have two children from the marriage. Although he has kept his children away from the limelight almost completely, he once shared a picture of his daughter on his twitter handle.
After the marriage failed and subsequent divorce, Colin went on to marry Ann Cowherd in 2010. There is very little information available on Ann Cowherd obviously because she isn't a media person or necessarily a celebrity.
The Grayland native now resides in Los Angeles with his family.
Net Worth and Salary
As Mr. Cowherd has worked for several well-known media establishments, he has a net worth that is placed at $14 million. That pointed, he receives an annual payment of $2 million. The man makes his wealth from his work as a media person.
Height – How Tall is Colin Cowherd?
Having gone over 50 years old, Colin Cowherd is a man who looks slim and yet athletically built. He has a rather good height and good weight. Looking at his measurements, he has a height of 6 feet 1 inch (1.85m) and a body weight of 184½ pounds.

Home Article Sheila Bair for Treasury Secretary
Sheila Bair for Treasury Secretary
As Obama puts together his shortlist for treasury secretary, he should stay away from ex-Wall Streeters and former Clinton administration officals. Current FDIC chair Sheila Bair looks better by the day.
by Robert Kuttner
We can safely assume that Senator Obama is well along in picking his cabinet. This may be tempting fate, since the election is still more than two weeks away; but all candidates engage in transition planning in October, and Senator McCain is doubtless doing likewise.
As I observed in the October print issue of the Prospect ("Meet the Next Treasury Secretary"), no positions will be more important than his senior economic team. In that piece, I argued that the two best Treasury picks would be either Tim Geithner, president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, or FDIC Chair Sheila Bair.
Since then, my admiration for Bair has only grown. She has long waged a battle within the administration for direct assistance to homeowners, rather than having stressed mortgage holders be the incidental beneficiaries of bailouts to bondholders and banks. Last week, she went public with her dissenting views, giving an interview to the Wall Street Journal. "[W]e're attacking it at the [financial] institution level as opposed to the borrower level, and it's the borrowers defaulting. That is what's causing the distress at the institution level," she said. "So why not tackle the borrower problem?"
The FDIC, not the Treasury, is the one agency with the institutional competence to run a direct mortgage refinancing program. When an insured bank fails, the FDIC often takes it over for a time. It doesn't subcontract the job to Wall Street investment houses, as Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson is doing. FDIC uses competent public servants who look to the public interest first.
Nor does the FDIC just pump in capital and keep the inept executives who drove the bank into the ground, as Paulson is hoping to do. It gets rid of toxic management along with toxic assets. This is the exercise, writ large, that the federal government will need to perform in the next administration, as it partly nationalizes banks.
Bair has used FDIC's temporary ownership of a large failed bank, Indy Mac, to demonstrate how a mortgage refinancing program can be done right. The FDIC has contacted all of Indy Mac's mortgage holders who are in financial straits, and is working out easier mortgage terms. In some cases, bondholders are made to eat part of the loss. This is the right approach to repairing the entire subprime mess. So Bair has both the background and the commitment to do the recapitalizing and regulating of American banks correctly.
Bair, 54, also has special appeal because even though she is by far the toughest and most public-minded regulator now on the scene, she happens to be a Republican. It would be an elegant touch for Obama to appoint a Treasury Secretary who is both Republican and female.
Bair began her career as a small town Kansas banker. Along the way, she acquired a small-town banker's well-placed wariness of Wall Street. She came to Washington to join the staff of then Kansas Senator Bob Dole on the Senate Finance Committee.
Subsequently, she held a number of regulatory posts, including the important position of acting chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. This is another crucial credential, since most of the financially-engineered derivative products, such as bonds back by subprime mortgages and credit default swaps should have been subject to CFTC regulation, and probably will be under reform legislation. Her close understanding of derivatives is essential to remaking our banking and credit system.
CFTC chairs, such as Brooksley Born, who served under Clinton, and James Stone, who served under Carter, have long argued that all derivatives should be subject to CFTC regulation and be traded in publicly supervised exchanges. Under current law, these exotic bonds are private contracts that are not publicly traded, so nobody knows what they are worth until somebody tries to sell them (and then they sometimes turn out to be worthless.)
When Born proposed regulations to bring derivatives, now totaling $500 trillion and dwarfing the rest of the economy, under the regulatory umbrella, all of the other senior economic officials of the Clinton administration isolated her, vilified her, and forced her to back down.
For good measure, then-Senator Phil Gramm (R-TX) subsequently slipped a provision into a Senate bill explicitly prohibiting regulation of most derivatives.
Others mentioned as leading contenders for treasury secretary include Larry Summers, who held the job for two years towards the end of the Clinton administration; Roger Altman who served as undersecretary; New Jersey governor Jon Corzine, another of the Goldman Sachs alums; New York billionaire Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who may or may not get New York city's term limit rules changed so that he can serve a third term; and Tim Geithner of the New York Fed. All have the technical qualifications to do the job. But, compared to the others, the Bair appointment makes the most sense.
The next Treasury Secretary should meet two criteria beyond having the necessary financial expertise. First, he or she should have a background in public service and not on Wall Street. Private financiers have dominated the setting of public regulatory policy for far too long, and Paulson is only the most extreme. His predecessor, both at Goldman and at Clinton's Treasury, Robert Rubin, was just as much an enabler of regulatory dismantling to serve purely private purposes.
It's time to end the tradition of bankers colonizing the U.S. Treasury. That test should exclude both Bloomberg and Corzine. As good and progressive a governor as Corzine is, it would be a travesty to continue the Goldman dynasty at Treasury. And though Bloomberg, another nominal Republican, has been a public-minded mayor of New York, we don't need more billionaire ex-Wall Streeters running the nation's finances.
Second, the next Treasury Secretary should not be a senior veteran of the Clinton administration. As details of the financial meltdown and its origins have been come out, it is increasingly clear that while the ideology was purely Republican, the Clinton administration was complicit in much of the deregulation.
Larry Summers, for one, joined in the stampede to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act and in the knee-capping of Brooksley Born, testifying to Congress that her proposal would risk "casting a shadow of regulatory uncertainty over an otherwise thriving market." In running hard for a second term as Treasury Secretary, Summers has published several op-eds lately suggesting that he is a born-again regulator. It is possible that he has truly changed his views -- or not. The "Larry has changed" mantra will be familiar to those who followed Robert Rubin's successful effort to install Summers as president of Harvard, an appointment that ended badly. Beyond his ambiguous views on finance, his missteps at Harvard raise continuing questions about Summers' temperament as well.
Tim Geithner also served briefly as a sub-cabinet official under Rubin and Summers, but is best known as head of the New York Fed. There, he has worked closely with Paulson and Fed Chair Ben Bernanke on the several financial rescues. He is widely respected as a competent financial civil servant, and has taken a somewhat tougher regulatory line than Paulson, but not nearly as tough as that taken by Bair.
One of the most interesting of Barack Obama's remarks at the third presidential debate was his volunteering of a short list of people to whom he looks for economic advice. This was obviously rehearsed, and he named only two -- former Fed chairman Paul Volcker and super-investor Warren Buffett -- both widely admired senior figures who have been critics of financial speculation and deregulation. Neither of these is a candidate for treasury secretary, but what is more interesting is who Obama didn't mention. He did not cite any of the Clinton administration veterans who have intermittently advised his campaign, notably Rubin and Summers.
By contrast, when Obama paraded economic experts before the cameras after a hastily called summit meeting on the economic emergency September 19, several were senior Clinton veterans. The campaign's thinking back then was that the Clinton era was fondly remembered as a time of competent economic stewardship, in contrast to the mess that George W. Bush made. Now, increasingly, Clinton's presidency is accurately characterized as part of the incubator of an economy based on speculative bubbles, financial crashes, and government bailouts. Obama is right to distance himself from that legacy. Bring on Bair.

In a Turkish hamam there are either two separate sections for each of the sexes or different days and hours allocated to men and women.
When you enter the first section or the changing area of a hamam you begin by taking off your clothes and putting on a "peştemal", which is a piece of striped cotton cloth. This is wrapped around the midriff and tucked into place. Some people choose to wear their bathing suits underneath or instead of the "peştemal". A type of wooden clog, called "nalın", is worn on the feet. They will help you not to slip on the wet marble surface.
Dressed in "peştemal" and clogs, you go to the next room where a "göbek taşı" (navel stone), a marble heated table, is situated in the middle. Marble sinks and taps all around the walls surround the room. Here, you sit next to one of these sinks and start pouring lukewarm water over yourself with a hamam tası (bowl). You keep pouring water until your skin softens, meanwhile increasing the temperature of the water as your body gets used to it.
The hamam attendant, tellak, will take you to the "göbek taşı" when your skin is ready and start rubbing your body with a special glove, kese. Tiny black pieces will get rubbed off your body that most people think is dirt. This is in fact the top layer of dead skin. At this stage a short massage is optional. Next, the tellak will give you a soapy rub down and wash you with water in decreasing temperature in order to make your pores close. He will then wrap you in towels.
Now it is time to go back to the lukewarm section to cool your body gradually while you lie down and drink tea in the traditional tiny glasses. Staying too long in the bath or moving to the hot or cold rooms without spending enough time in the lukewarm section is harmful for the body. Otherwise the whole hamam experience is something very healthy and cures lots of diseases.

Minors afford students the opportunity to pursue a limited but structured concentration in a coherent field of study outside their major. The minor may be a truncated version of a major or a distinctive intellectual subset of a discipline. Minors are not offered in every field of study, so students should consult with their undergraduate advisor to develop a plan for completing a minor.
The list of undergraduate minors offered at the University of Maryland is extensive, but below are a few of the minors that have been popular with architecture students in the past.
Undergraduates with an interest in real estate can now complete a minor in real estate development. The minor will provide students with an overview of sustainable real estate development, including the development process; the basics of real estate finance; urban planning and design; and the unique roles of government and the private sector.
The courses and minor will be open to all Maryland undergraduates with a GPA of 2.0 who are enrolled in any major and who have completed ARCH 271/RDEV 250 with a C- or better. It is designed to provide students with a working knowledge of the real estate industry and can be taken as a stepping-stone to more advanced graduate work in real estate or a related professional field.
Students will take 4 core classes and choose 1 elective from a wide range of classes, including those in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Sustainability, Business, Economics, Political Science and Public Policy. The syllabi for the 4 core classes can be found below in the PDF format. Scroll down to see them.
Furthermore, students who complete the minor will have a head start in pursuing a Masters of Real Estate Development. They will not have to take any of the additional 9 credits that are required of applicants who come to the program without a real estate undergraduate degree (or minor from UMD).
The minor will be of particular interest to students with interests in careers related to real estate and the built environment, such as architecture, business, construction management, civil engineering, historic preservation, local government, non-profit housing, public-private partnerships, landscape architecture, urban planning or related entrepreneurial ventures.
Please see Fact Sheet below for more information about the minor.
Online Application - Real Estate Development minor.
You must sign up for an appointment with the Director of the Real Estate Development minor before you are admitted to the minor. Be sure to print off your unofficial transcript and bring it to this meeting.
Please contact rdevminor@umd.edu for more information.

Work has recently been completed on the £1.5 million development of the high end restaurant experience venue. Davis partnership were the design consultancy on this project. They brought Kooltech on in the very early stage of the design process. Kooltech worked alongside Davis partnership to design a modern and efficient HVAC system and also a state of the art mechanical control panel.
Kooltech worked closely with Stewart Clague Services to support this large Hotel rebuild utilising a VRF heat recovery application, from the selection of all Mitsubishi Electric condensing units and branch control (BC) boxes to support the heating and cooling infrastructure. Kooltech's range of bespoke BC boxes come with port isolation as standard, which in turn has helped with the phased installation.
33 Aldgate House is an office refurbishment of two floors. The design of the system incorporated a number of Kooltech K-Con bespoke products. These products provided a number of solutions that were of benefit to the end user, including comfort and safety benefits.
Kooltech were approached by the primary air conditioning contractor, Effective Air Solutions, to design a system to meet a strict set of requirements; notably the selection of low noise level equipment to suit the call centre function of the Centre, and compliance with EN378 regulations.
Kooltech supported the project from the start; from its original design specification through to the delivery logistics of this project. The Hotel remained fully functional over the 3 week timescale of the work whilst the refurbishment took place.
Kooltech's new state of the art headquarters is used to showcase traditional VRF air conditioning alongside the innovative award winning Hybrid VRF system. It has a fully functional product showroom and training facility that showcases K-Con bespoke products and Mitsubishi Electric's full range.
A Cat A fit out of an existing 8 story listed building with a 1.0 m raised floor utilised as the service void for ventilation and air conditioning.
The design brief was to bring the existing systems & controls up to the same standard as the new design & installation of the hotel's new extension.
Each bedroom was served by a single Concealed Floor Standing VRF Indoor unit with a Kooltech KS9 Discrete return air button sensor and a PAC-YT52CRA simplified controller to allow the occupants to control the temperature within the room. Each indoor unit was connected to the vin card entry system via a 5 Wire adaptor. There was a similair set up for the front of house and the Cocktail Bar excluding the 5 wire adaptors.
The systems selected were a mixture of Mitsubishi Electric VRF Y Series for the open floor areas and R2 for the smaller areas.

Why was parkour really impressive in the video
Вы услышите интервью. Выберите цифру 1, 2 или 3, соответствующую выбранному вами варианту ответа. Вы услышите запись дважды.
Why was parkour really impressive in the video?
Because the drone pilot is a professional parkour athlete.
Because Giles is a professional filmmaker.
Because Eric is a perfect friend.
Presenter: Have you ever heard about parkour? Of course, you have! Today in this studio we meet Giles Campbell Longley who is a professional parkour stunt athlete and filmmaker. Welcome, Giles! Your last video is so fun to watch. Giles, what were some of the challenges you faced in making it?
Giles: We found the location via drone racing videos online and booked flights with no idea whether or not the structure would be safe enough to jump on. The whole thing was incredibly sketchy and we ended spending a ton of time testing and strengthening areas of the building so they could be useable.
Presenter: Eric Moor's parkour is really impressive in the video. What was it like working with an athlete doing stunts like that?
Giles: I'm a full time parkour filmmaker & Kie Willis (the drone pilot on this project) is actually a professional parkour athlete himself, so we're very used to shooting this style of movement. Eric is one of our closest friends and he's incredible to work with, both in his determination to repeat something until it's perfect, but also because of his sense of humor.
Presenter: Editing is an important part of why your video is so amazing. How long did you take with post-production?
Giles: The edit didn't actually take too long, about two to three days. Every night after shooting we would get back to our hotel and play with the selects so by the end of the trip we already had a solid idea of how the final piece would look. Then it was just a case of polishing things up.
Presenter: Tell us about your company. Is this the kind of work you typically do?
Giles: Yes, I've practiced parkour since 2003 so the sport is well and truly engrained in my life. I got into filmmaking because I just wanted to film myself and my friends, and everything has just begun from there.
Presenter: Did you have to secure a permit or deal with any other kinds of regulations to fly your drone in Ibiza in order to shoot the video?
Giles: No, we didn't obtain any permission to shoot there. We wouldn't have considered the location if it was built up and had a lot of people frequenting the area, as we try to avoid flying anywhere that could cause any safety issues. The area itself was technically fenced off but there were many spots that didn't have fences.
Presenter: Oh, really?
Giles: Luckily the location was incredibly remote, and due to the fact that we filmed it in the off season, it was December, we only encountered a couple of people during the whole week of filming. Visitors ranged from family's coming in to explore, birdwatchers, and even some trials bikers who worked their way down the nearby cliffface and into the courtyard.
Presenter: How did you first get involved with aerial cinematography?
Giles: Years ago we had a couple of friends who built their own drone and mounted a small Sony camera on the bottom of it. We played around for a day in an abandoned estate and instantly saw the potential it offered to capture parkour from the air.
Presenter: Were there any problems?
Giles: Unfortunately the drone setup was rather temperamental and we didn't get to utilize it as much as we would have liked. However, within a couple of years the consumer market for drones expanded, and we've been playing ever since.
Presenter: What are your predictions for aerial cinematography, and the drone industry in general?
Giles: I think in the near future things are going to get a lot more exciting when it comes to aerial cinematography. Drones have the ability to travel at rapid speeds while making movements that were literally impossible a few years ago, unless you had a helicopter, yet for some reason the majority of people in the action sports world still seem to opt for what are relatively simple shots and flight paths. Now with the rise of racing drones, and incredible small cameras I'm hoping to see more people utilizing these tools to push things even further. The benefit of racing drones is that you can create something very visually stimulating.
Presenter: Do you think the rules regulating the use of drones will change?
Giles: Regarding regulations, I think that unfortunately we will see these getting more and more strict in the near future. With drones being so accessible, it just increases the chances of reckless pilots putting other people in danger, effectively spoiling the fun for people who are trying to push their creative boundaries while being sensible and safe. I don't really know what the end point of this will be, but I seriously hope nothing major comes into play, like an outright ban on drones.

Afghanistan- Peace Council sanguine on S. Arabia's 'peace meet'
(MENAFN- Afghanistan Times) AT-KABUL: The High Peace Council has voiced optimism over the upcoming religious meeting scheduled to be held in Saudi Arabia, calling it 'important' to help endthe conflict and bring peace to the war-weary nation. The council's spokesman, Sayed EhsanTaheri, said Tuesday that clerics from 36 Islamic countries were scheduled to attend the meeting and evaluate the war in Afghanistan from Islamic aspect. 'Clerics and representatives from the Muslim world are to attend the meeting including a delegation from Afghan religious scholars. They will discuss the war in Afghanistan from the Islamic perspective and its benefit will undoubtedly come to the people of Afghanistan in helping for peace and stability,' said Taheri. The two-day meeting would be organized by the Organization of Islamic Conference in the Saudi cities of Jeddah and Mecca. According to the peace council the meeting would be held by the end of July. Thousands of religious scholars in a meeting condemned the Afghan war as illegal last month in Kabul. They called on the war sides to stop fighting and restore peace and dialogue. Prior to that, clerics from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Indonesia, asked Taliban in a meeting in Jakarta to join the Afghan government's peace program. 'I am doubtful if the Pakistani clerics attend the Saudi meeting, because they are under influence of their country's intelligence service that is using religion as a political tool and the role of Pakistani clerics would be symbolic. But the clerics from other countries can play useful role in the meeting and I am hopeful they would find a solution for the war,' said political analyst, DawoodMayar. Taliban have frequently rejected government's peace demand, emphasizing on the withdrawal of foreign troops as their precondition. President Ashraf Ghani said on Saturday that he had answered to the religious scholars' request positively and it is the Taliban to answer them now.

So as I have mentioned, I'm pretty lucky in life. These girls are a large part of that. We have all been friends since starting high school, some of us long before. So now that we are all celebrating 30 years of life and over half our lives we have been there for each other. People come and go through our lives but these girls have been a constant and I love them all to bits.
A couple of the girls live away, one in Kalgoorlie & another in Townsville, so seeing as we were all in Broken Hill to celebrate Christie's 30's and belated wedding celebration (as she eloped) I thought it was the perfect opportunity to doll ourselves up and have a girly photoshoot with my second family. They say friends are the family we choose for ourselves and that couldn't ring truer for us.
I am so happy we made this happen as I can't quite put into words how much these photos mean to me. I'm sure they are going to mean even more to us in the next 10, 20 or 30 years. Can't wait to do this again every 10 years!
A special thanks to my dear friend Kristy Smith from K.Smith Photography for coming along for the ride and taking the group photos for me so I could make my vision happen.

Julius Randle On Lakers Struggles: 'We Could Easily Be 4-0'
Lakers Rookie Brandon Ingram Appears In New Panini Trading Cards Commercial
The Los Angeles Lakers made the third stop on their four-game road trip last night, falling to the Indiana Pacers 115-108. The Lakers struggled with foul issues all game and Julius Randle fouled out late in the fourth quarter.
The loss for the Lakers dropped their record 1-3 and has brought the team back down to earth after an inspiring win on opening night. Despite the losses and struggles, however, Randle is keeping a positive outlook on things.
After the game, Randle noted that the Lakers have been in position to win every game so far this season and could be 4-0 if some things had gone differently according to Lakers Nation reporter Serena Winters (via Spectrum SportsNet):
Julius Randle: "We're putting ourselves in positions to win & we could easily be 4-0, but we're 1-3."

Randle is right about the Lakers having a chance to win every game. The Lakers had a late lead in Indiana, were within two points late in Utah, and even in Oklahoma City they cut the lead to four points with around four minutes remaining.
One thing that has been obvious with this Lakers team has been their heart. The team continues to fight when they fall behind instead of crumbling at the first sign of things getting out of hand. That change is a huge step for the young Lakers, but the next step is a tougher one. Randle, D'Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson and company will have to learn to get over that hump and turn these close losses into wins.
Randle has shown great development this season, stepping up as a playmaker and more efficient scorer while maintaining his great rebounding ability. The Lakers as a whole are getting better which is why these games are close, now it will be up to them to keep progressing.
