ENO SingleNest Hammock is one of the best single person hammock you can get on the market right now. This hammock is highly recommended, especially for hikers and backpackers. The entire thing is less than 2 pounds, so you won't have to worry about it adding too much weight to your gear. Furthermore, it comes in over twenty different color variations, so you'll be sure to find one that fits your aesthetic needs.
This hammock features triple interlocking stitching and 70D high tenacity breathable nylon taffeta. This design makes it possible for this hammock to safely support a single person with a maximum weight of 400 pounds.
The SingleNest is lightweight, which makes it a favorite amongst both backpackers and backyard campers alike. It's able to easily fit into the compression stuff sack that it comes with, which allows you to fold the hammock down to the size of a softball.
This hammock comes with aluminum wire gate carabiners as well as national grade line which make it easy to safely secure the Singlenest to boat masts, poles, trees, or walls.
Compact, durable, and versatile, the Single Nest is excellent for backyard camping, traveling, boating, camping, hiking, or just relaxing.
Frustration free packaging is 100% recyclable and free from unnecessary packaging such as zip ties, clam shells, or blister packaging. You should be able to open the box and remove all components in just 120 seconds with the frustration free packaging.
Does this hammock come with straps and clips?
This hammock does have the clips attached on the ends. However, you need to purchase the straps separately. We recommend using Atlas Suspension System with this hammock.
Does this come with carabeners?
Yes, there are two carabiners attached to the hammock.
What is the length of this hammock from one hanging loop to another?
Unfolded dimensions are not listed in the product description. However, the one we tested had 9' 4'' of length and 4' 7'' of width.
Can I use this hammock on a stand?
Yes, you can. But keep in mind that you need a stand that matches this hammock's dimensions and can bear the weight.
What stands do you recommend with this hammock?
You can use any stand that matches this hammocks dimensions. However, we used Byer Madera Hammock Stand with this hammock once.
Now comes the decision making part. Although this one costs a bit more for a single person hammock, but the quality you get is worth that extra money. If you are less than 6 fit tall, go ahead and buy the single nest hammock without any doubt. But if your height is more than 6 fit, we recommend you to go for the double nest hammock for extra set of comfort.


Tone Control Music proudly introduces our new signing 'thatmanmonkz'. This debut EP, the man explores Detroit inspired deep house with jazz, disco and soul influences apparent throughout. Several tracks feature vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Pete Simpson (Sunburst Band) while title track, The Man takes a heavier sampler/drum machine based route for darker tastes. Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys/M.I.A.) helps out on mix duties to complete this Steel City showcase.
Who is thatmanmonkz? Scott 'thatmanmonkz' Moncrieff is a much-hyped DJ who has shared the decks with heavyweights Carl Craig, Grandmaster Flash, Phil Asher, Recloose and Roots Manuva among others. Sharing a flat with Arctic Monkeys and M.I.A producer Ross Orton led to a crash course in production techniques and analogue synths, which inspired him to join forces with Toddla T (Radio 1) to form Small Arms Fiya.
Small Arms Fiya created numerous releases and remixes over their 3 year collaboration which included Jersey Street, Nubian Minds, Roots Manuva, Domu, Mark Rae, The Elektrons and Lo Tek Hi Fi. Their debut EP with Pete Simpson, and follow up with Ayah Marar was received with impressive acclaim from Benji B, Ross Allen and more. Small Arms Fiya re-launched in 2011 after a hiatus which 'monkz used to experiment with new musical directions. Since then he has been busy producing, arranging, remixing and DJing – headlining Sheffield's infamous Kabal Warehouse Party, Cargo, and playing alongside Fatlip from The Pharcyde, Hackman, and Martelo.
With this debut solo release, 'The Man' EP forthcoming on Tone Control Music, imminent 12's from his 'S & M' project with Daniel Swain, and various remix/production duties, expect big things from thatmanmonkz!


From 9 through 27 October and from 7 through 27 December 2018, the Institute of Advanced Energy (IAE) hosted an internship program, the "ASEAN Young Researcher Training Program in the Energy Field", in collaboration with the Graduate School of Energy Science, the Graduate School of Engineering, and the Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies (GSGES). The program was organized under the Wild & Wise Collaborative Learning Program with support from Kyoto University.
Taking part were ten students from four Thai universities: King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), one of the partners in the "Japan-ASEAN Science, Technology, and Innovation Platform (JASTIP)"; King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL); Chulalongkorn University; and Thammasat University.
Interns from KMUTT were four students enrolled in the university's Joint Graduate School of Energy and Environment (JGSEE). At Kyoto, two of them (Nattakarn Sakarapunthip, doctoral program, and Tunnapat Worarutariyachai, master's program) trained at the Graduate School of Energy Science's Department of Fundamental Energy Science (Professor Takashi Sagawa), and the other two (Supachai Jadsadajerm, doctoral, and Chonticha Rajrujithong, master's) at IAE (Professor Hideaki Ohgaki and Specially Appointed Professor Kouichi Miura).
From KMITL, two undergraduate students at the College of Nanotechnology (Mahamu Hambalee and Pornpugdewatana Arisa) came to intern at the Graduate School of Energy Science's Department of Socio-Environmental Energy Science (Professor Keiichi Ishihara).
Chulalongkorn University was represented by two graduate students (Siripit Songtawee, doctoral, and Patcharaporn Srisratthatwo, master's), who trained at the Graduate School of Engineering's Department of Chemical Engineering (Professor Noriaki Sano).
Finally, two undergraduate students from Thammasat University (Tan Vongvarotai and Sicha Arayatham) were hosted by GSGES' Department of Technology and Ecology (Professor Takeshi Abe).
In addition to working in laboratories, the interns had opportunities to experience Japanese culture, visiting Kyoto's historical sites and eating local food in the company of their Japanese peers. The organizers hope that these experiences will contribute to the participants' ongoing studies as well as to enhanced international research collaboration.


Dense and rich and studded with berries, this cake is a winner. Even though it's topped with a powdered sugar glaze, I believe you can still sneak a piece and call it breakfast. It has fruit in it, for heaven's sake.
In large bowl, cream sugar and butter. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
If you're using this substitute for buttermilk, measure out the milk now and squeeze in the lemon juice. Add vanilla and set aside.
In separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. To the butter mixture, add some of the flour mixture, then some of the buttermilk, stirring well after each addition. Alternate adding the dry and liquid ingredients until all have been incorporated into the batter. Fold in the berries.
Spread in greased and floured 10-inch Bundt pan. Bake at 350 for 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then remove from pan. Cool comletely. (I can never make myself wait, but diligent student that I am, I pass on the wisdom anyway.) Stir together powdered sugar and enough milk to make a drizzling consistency and drizzle over the cake. Delicious.
This recipe was clipped from a magazine; my guess is it was from Better Homes and Gardens.
Any berry picking going on in your neck of the woods?
Wow what lovely berries. Our boysenberries just finished.The cake looks heavenly. Yes, this year our garden is so weird. Not enough heat we plowed our corn under last weekend. It was a foot high and already tasseling. Pathetic. We replanted and maybe we will have enough heat. We might get rain tomorrow. Who knew? Maybe even 2to3 inches of snow in the mountains.
I've never even heard of these berries before but that cake sounds delicious! So moist and fresh flavored!
I've never heard of these berries either...I'd love to find them around here though! The jam and the cake both look fantastic!
What beautiful berries!! We only have strawberries growing around here, but they are yummy :) Your cake looks delicious too.
P.S. Happy Picnic Month!!! Come see the round-up...dee...lish...ous!!!

Concern over drug quantity plans
Seven grams of heroin is the level set for personal use
Home Office proposals for the amount of drugs that can be defined as being for personal use are "unrealistic", according to police in Scotland.
The government consultation paper aims to set a consistent level which defines the difference between those considered drug users and dealers.
Leading drugs squad officers said many of the levels set were too high.
However, some drugs agencies said higher levels could reduce the numbers of drug users imprisoned needlessly.
In court, being found with a "personal amount" of drugs will usually result in a fine, while "dealing" leads to almost certain imprisonment.
The Home Office has defined the limit on heroin for personal use as 7g.
Drugs officers want the limit set at 2g.
There is also concern about the limits set for personal use of cannabis by the Home Office, which are double those recommended by police in Scotland.
The Home Office consultation ends in early March.
In Scotland the levels which are suggested within the report are exorbitant
Graeme Pearson
SDEA director
Detective Sergeant Kenny Simpson, of Strathclyde Police's drug squad, said: "7g of heroin does not look much, but on the streets of Glasgow this amount could produce 70 of the most common street deals, which is a £10 bag.
"The Home Office consultation document suggests this is a level that might be for someone's personal use.
"Our position is very clearly that this is far in excess of what someone would normally have for their personal use."
Graeme Pearson, director of the Scottish Drug Enforcement Agency (SDEA), said the Home Office report was trying to achieve consistency across the country.
He said: "It is setting levels which are too high for that consistency. In Scotland the levels which are suggested within the report are exorbitant.
"We would seek to lower the levels in order to ensure that those that deal on the streets can't operate just under the level set in the report and therefore outwith the ability of the courts to deal with them adequately."

Thursday Reading List: Nerd Farming and the Perils of "Culture Fit"
August 25, 2016 Justin Cohen
Earlier this week, Bill Gates sat down with Nate Bowling, a finalist for National Teacher of the Year, and they shared their discussion online:
Caroline Bermudez likes the concept of "Nerd Farming," which Gates and Bowling discuss in discuss in some detail:
Bowling, a self-described "nerd farmer," teaches at Lincoln High School, in Tacoma, where 70 percent of its students qualify for free- or reduced-price lunch and half of the student population is Black or Latino. Yet the school's graduation rate is 80 percent and 40 percent of students take AP classes. Data has revealed students of color are far less likely to take AP classes. A big reason why is a teacher's racial bias—White teachers are less likely to believe students of color can succeed academically and so they don't encourage them to take challenging classes and apply to college. They don't prod them to have big dreams.
This mismatch of total school population and AP enrollment is true nationally, and it cannot be explained by achievement or preparedness. The College Board discovered several years ago that a huge proportion of the Black students nationally who qualify for AP courses, but are not enrolled in them, are in schools that offer those courses. Artificial barriers to entry keep those children out, which can be rooted in racial bias.
Speaking of racial bias, Eric Johnson at ReCode talked to a tech CEO who thinks that, if you're not hiring Black and Latino folks in tech, you're not trying:
Tristan Walker could check off a lot of the standard boxes for "Silicon Valley entrepreneur." He has an MBA from Stanford and a résumé that includes Twitter, Foursquare and four years as entrepreneur-in-residence at Andreessen Horowitz. However, the CEO of Walker & Company Brands roundly rejects the Valley's favorite cliché, "culture fit." On the latest episode of Recode Decode, hosted by Kara Swisher, Walker said startups rarely define their own cultures before using it as an excuse to hire homogenous workers ... [he also discussed] his nonprofit initiative for minorities in tech, Code2040. "We just graduated a class of 90 fellows," he said. "A lot of these folks are saying that they don't exist. That is complete bullshit, because we found them inside of six months."
The idea of "culture fit" is attractive to corporate leaders, but if "culture" becomes synonymous with "very White people with whom I went to graduate school, and then worked with at a mostly-White tech company," it's part of the problem. I've heard horror stories from recruiters who try to create diverse pools for clients, only to have those clients tell them to recruit more traditional candidates who will better fit the "culture."
One way to obviate the meaning of culture is to have more White people understand the impact of racial bias. Maura Judkis in the Washington Post has the story of a chef, Tunde Wey, who is hosting dinners about race across the country:
Wey is traveling across the country in service of a provocative dinner series he calls Blackness in America. Over his meals, he and guest speakers moderate an exasperated and mournful conversation about what it's like to be a person of color in a year in which 152 black people have been shot and killed by police so far, and poverty rates for African Americans are more than twice as high as for white people. There is catharsis among the black guests at the dinner, and understanding among the others. But there is no solution, other than for the guests to sit there with their plates of jollof rice and pepper soup, and stew in their discomfort.
I am a big fan of using meals as a way to open the door to greater trust and honesty; a small group and I just started a new initiative to do something similar in a bunch of cities.
The New York Times wonders how much home work is enough. And finally, Alex Zimmerman at Chalkbeat takes a closer look at suspensions among younger children in New York City:
Nearly a third of the 801 suspensions handed out to students in kindergarten through second grade this past school year were reportedly for incidents of violence or serious physical disruption. Those infractions included: reckless behavior with substantial risk of serious injury (115 suspensions); using force or inflicting serious injury to school safety agents or other school personnel (104 suspensions); and Category I weapons possession (22 suspensions), which includes everything from slingshots to guns. The most common suspension is for an offense that used to be categorized as horseplay.
The absolute number is high, because this is New York City. The only good news here is that the percentage of total students is low. Those students also are disproportionately concentrated in a small number of schools. While that concentration should make it easier to deal with the problem ... WTF is going on those schools??

I have my soaps & lotions at Lynn's show: Picket Fence Florals. Her setup is so pretty!
Only the soaps & lotions are mine… I didn't do the fabric work here.
So if you don't like Fritoes and Corn Flakes what is another great way to appreciate American Corn? Corn Fiber!
…. but K got to meet her supplier while she was home.
She took the 2 hr + 10 minute drive west and found her place with ease. She arrived before 11 a.m. and didn't leave until 4 p.m….. still too early to part ways!
She also came home with wonderful yarns to play with in the next few months. And a few samples to show the fiber department now that she is back in class. So exciting!!
Inside the studio. Mini kitchen, laundry resources for dyeing fibers… oo-la-la!
Market bag & pattern… and some yummy fibers!
They have plans to get together during the fall and share more together. So maybe we'll get a few weekend visits. Whirlwind weekends!
Yesterday we took a family day.
K had gone to meet her corn fiber lady (new best friend, she says!) on Friday. Two hours each way so wasn't too thrilled with a long driving day. You need to ask her about Friday…. totally cool!!
So we didn't go far.
First we went to the other barn as I wanted new pictures of the kids.
After pictures and a quick change of shoes, we went to the next big city. Everyone had one thing on their list they wanted to get there anyway. Ok, maybe 2 things!
We had lunch out (major cheat for 3 of us but oh.so.good.) and then did some shopping.
Around 2, we headed more into town and toured the Japanese Gardens. It was sort of nice but not much variety of plants. Maybe 4! I have more variety in MY garden… just in weeds!
However, it was a beautiful day to be out.
And then in all these pictures… I guess I found my twin! Isn't this amazing!! And to think there were those who told us how much she looked like Phil when she was born.
Very sad to see the damage that has happened here as a result of switching templates on blogger.
I'll probably be moving but please stay tuned… I don't want to lose you! I'll let you know my new address when I know it right here.
As time passed this evening, my side bars reappeared but in a mixed up order. I've sorted… starting to look better!!
Have you noticed my new header?
The work of my dd.
I said she likes doors!
K loves going with Grandma M to auctions. However, she already stated she had no space in her room for more stuff. But the time to watch is fun.
And the auction listing had: old doors.
She asked Dad for the Dodge to go to the auction.
She was only a bit over an hour past the start time.
She came home with a load.
While finishing the newest issue of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting….
Can you see us dancing?
I already checked today. Not there yet.
The plan was to start JP's senior year this week. We sort of have done that, just not what I planned.
On Monday, he wrote up his 4-H reports and that took all morning. Phil helped with the swine records early on Tuesday morning.
Jason came Tuesday to help replace slats in the finishing building and JP is an important part of that job. So I lost my student. They finished that job on Wednesday morning.
However on Monday JP's CAT test arrived for me to administer. He did some studying Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.
So now today is quiet (K is working one day for the electronics store) so we started his testing.
I don't normally test but we are doing this to qualify for his good student driver's discount on our auto insurance. Yikes! Have you added a son to your insurance lately?
So it is school but not the curriculum that arrived Friday and is taking up the entryway. I'm moving to my Labor Day weekend soap & lotion show either this afternoon or tomorrow.

Снос (демонтаж) — контролируемая ликвидация здания/сооружения путём разборки и обрушения.

Снос считается исключительной мерой, связанной с градостроительными и другими объективными обстоятельствами (высокий физический и моральный износ, аварийное состояние и т.д.). Снос зданий имеет чётко выраженную стратегическую направленность. Это обусловлено тем, что демонтаж сооружений представляет собой первое звено в цепочке строительных работ на определённом участке. Он включает в себя целый спектр работ. Это, среди прочего: высотный демонтаж, разборка металлических конструкций снос перегородок, демонтаж фундамента, инженерных коммуникаций.

Ассоциация «Национальное объединение строителей» в «Стандарте организации строительного производства. Снос (демонтаж) зданий и сооружений» (СТО НОСТРОЙ 2.33.53-2011) даёт следующее определение:

Снос (демонтаж) объекта — ликвидация здания (сооружения) путём разборки сборных и обрушения монолитных конструкций с предварительным демонтажем технических систем и элементов отделки.

Снос (демонтаж), как вид строительных работ

Демонтаж здания относится к «Подготовительным работам» перечня «Видов работ по строительству, реконструкции и капитальному ремонту» и требуют получения свидетельства о допуске на виды работ, влияющие на безопасность объекта капитального строительства, в случае выполнения таких работ на объектах, указанных в статье 48.1 Градостроительного кодекса Российской Федерации: особо опасных, технически сложных и уникальных объектов.

Снос зданий и сооружений, как правило, осуществляют специализированные , обладающие всеми необходимыми лицензиями и сертификатами для выполнения таких работ, а также парком спецтехники. В отдельных случаях демонтажные работы осуществляют , специализирующиеся на строительстве зданий, но обладающие необходимой техникой и опытом.

Способы сноса (демонтажа)

Ручной способ

Ручной способ разборки или разрушения наиболее трудоёмкий. Он осуществляется с использованием ручного инструмента, ломов, клиньев, кувалд, кирок, скарпелей и др., а также газо-резательных установок. Этот способ применяют при небольших объёмах работ или в случаях, когда другие способы не могут быть использованы.

Полумеханизированный способ

Полумеханизированный способ основан на применении пневматического и электрифицированного инструмента: отбойных молотков, лопат-ломов, пневматических бетоноломов, механических пил, лебёдок, домкратов и др. Способ имеет широкое распространение. Однако он трудоёмкий, дорогой, к тому же производство работ сопровождается большим шумом и выделением пыли.

Механизированный способ
Механизированный способ работ выполняют с помощью машин и механизмов. Наибольшее распространение получил метод ударного разрушения конструкций шар- или клин-молотом, подвешиваемым на тросах к стреле самоходного крана или экскаватора. Для обрушения отдельно стоящих конструкций или участков зданий, отсечённых от их основной части, применяют тракторы или бульдозеры: конструкции в верхней части предварительно обвязывают стальными тросами, привязывают к механизмам и тянут до опрокидывания и разрушения. При этом угол подъёма троса по отношению к горизонту должен быть не более 20. Бульдозеры используют также для перемещения и окучивания строительного лома и мусора. По сравнению с полумеханизированным данный способ более производителен и рационален при разборке старых зданий и сооружений.

Взрывной способ
Взрывной способ основан на использовании энергии взрыва. Для разрушения зданий применяют шпуровые заряды взрывчатого вещества, которые располагают на одном уровне в основании здания по его периметру (не ниже 0,5 м от поверхности земли), образуя таким образом сплошной подбой. В результате взрыва здание разрушается и оседает на свое основание. Перед взрывом здание должно быть освобождено от всех деревянных конструктивных элементов (стропила, перекрытия, перегородки, полы, двери, окна и др.). Бетонные и железобетонные конструкции взрывают на дробление. В зависимости от размеров конструкций и сооружений применяют накладные, шпуровые, скважинные или камерные заряды. Взрывной способ наименее трудоемкий и наиболее экономичный.

Электрогидравлический способ
Электрогидравлический способ может быть применен для разрушения монолитных конструкций. В отличие от взрывного способа при электрогидравлическом не образуется взрывной волны, не происходит разброс осколков. Это особенно важно при производстве работ на территории действующего предприятия или внутри производственных помещений.

Термический способ
Термический способ разрушения используется для резки бетона и железобетона, прожигания в нем отверстий и штраб. Способ основан на применении мощного источника тепла в виде газового потока (кислородное копьё) или электрической дуги (графитовые или угольные электроды).

Комбинированный способ
Комбинированный способ чаще всего применяют при разборке или разрушении зданий, сооружений, отдельных конструкций, при котором одни конструктивные элементы разбираются ручным способом, другие механизированным, третьи взрывным и т. д. Например, при сносе одноэтажного каркасного здания с кирпичными стенами рекомендуется поэлементная разборка конструкций вручную, кроме стен, которые следует разбирать механизированным способом, и фундаментов, разрушаемых взрывом.

A Token is an occurrence of a term from the text of a field. It consists of a term's text, the start and end offset of the term in the text of the field, and a type string.
The start and end offsets permit applications to re-associate a token with its source text, e.g., to display highlighted query terms in a document browser, or to show matching text fragments in a KWIC display, etc.
The type is a string, assigned by a lexical analyzer (a.k.a. tokenizer), naming the lexical or syntactic class that the token belongs to. For example an end of sentence marker token might be implemented with type "eos". The default token type is "word".
A Token can optionally have metadata (a.k.a. Payload) in the form of a variable length byte array. Use TermPositions.getPayloadLength() and TermPositions.getPayload(byte, int) to retrieve the payloads from the index.
NOTE: As of 2.9, Token implements all Attribute interfaces that are part of core Lucene and can be found in the tokenattributes subpackage. Even though it is not necessary to use Token anymore, with the new TokenStream API it can be used as convenience class that implements all Attributes, which is especially useful to easily switch from the old to the new TokenStream API.
Tokenizers and TokenFilters should try to re-use a Token instance when possible for best performance, by implementing the TokenStream.incrementToken() API. Failing that, to create a new Token you should first use one of the constructors that starts with null text. To load the token from a char use CharTermAttributeImpl.copyBuffer(char, int, int). To load from a String use CharTermAttributeImpl.setEmpty() followed by CharTermAttributeImpl.append(CharSequence) or CharTermAttributeImpl.append(CharSequence, int, int). Alternatively you can get the Token's termBuffer by calling either CharTermAttributeImpl.buffer(), if you know that your text is shorter than the capacity of the termBuffer or CharTermAttributeImpl.resizeBuffer(int), if there is any possibility that you may need to grow the buffer. Fill in the characters of your term into this buffer, with String.getChars(int, int, char, int) if loading from a string, or with System.arraycopy(Object, int, Object, int, int), and finally call CharTermAttributeImpl.setLength(int) to set the length of the term text. See LUCENE-969 for details.
clear() initializes all of the fields to default values. This was changed in contrast to Lucene 2.4, but should affect no one.
Because TokenStreams can be chained, one cannot assume that the Token's current type is correct.
The startOffset and endOffset represent the start and offset in the source text, so be careful in adjusting them.
When caching a reusable token, clone it. When injecting a cached token into a stream that can be reset, clone it again.
Please note: With Lucene 3.1, the toString() method had to be changed to match the CharSequence interface introduced by the interface CharTermAttribute. This method now only prints the term text, no additional information anymore.

Constructs a Token with the given text, start and end offsets, & type. NOTE: for better indexing speed you should instead use the char termBuffer methods to set the term text.
Set the position increment. This determines the position of this token relative to the previous Token in a TokenStream, used in phrase searching.
Returns this Token's starting offset, the position of the first character corresponding to this token in the source text. Note that the difference between endOffset() and startOffset() may not be equal to CharTermAttributeImpl.length(), as the term text may have been altered by a stemmer or some other filter.
Returns this Token's ending offset, one greater than the position of the last character corresponding to this token in the source text. The length of the token in the source text is (endOffset - startOffset).
Returns this Token's lexical type. Defaults to "word".
Get the bitset for any bits that have been set. This is completely distinct from type(), although they do share similar purposes. The flags can be used to encode information about the token for use by other TokenFilters.
While we think this is here to stay, we may want to change it to be a long.

Levitation 2
LEVITATION II To be completely honest I was going to start this with a pun. I did think of one but it doesn't float… I am sorry I just had to. Anyway, this is the second part to the article on super cool ways of making things levitate. Go check the first part out if you haven't already. Actually, the first part may have become repulsive with all the magnets and stuff, but I promise this will be more attractive. Get it? No? I'll stop now. I am just going to jump straight into it. 1. Electrostatic Levitation I know you are probably sick and tired of magnets but they are the best way you know… This method is somewhat similar. You remember that cool science experiment you did with two straws attracting or repulsing each other based on their charge? So basically using the same principle we can make a charged object levitate. But before you try it, let me tell you it won't be easy. Even impossible according to our Mr. Earnshaw. He even made a law (the law is
Cathode Ray Experiment
This experiment was conducted by J.J. Thomson (Sir Joseph John Thomson) in the year 1897. This experiment proved that atom is made up of fundamental particles which are much smaller than the smallest atom 'hydrogen' This experiment helped to discover electron. According to J.J. Thomson, the cathode rays consisted of very light, small and negatively charged particles. He named the particles "corpuscles" which were later known as electrons
Anode Ray Experiment
→Anode ray experiment was conducted by E Goldstein. →These rays are also known as canal rays. →This experiment helped in the discovery of the proton. Apparatus Used A discharge tube was taken in which there were 2 electrodes i.e. Anode(+ve) and the cathode (-ve). The tube was filled with an inert gas. A perforated or porous cathode was used. A layer of zinc sulphide was placed at the back of the cathode. There was a vacuum pump in the tube. High voltage (5000v-10000v) was allowed to flow through the system. It was observed that when the gas was at 1atm(atmospheric pressure ) no change was seen in the tube. When the pressure was decreased inside the tube, a glow could be seen at the back side of the cathode.
Rutherford Alpha Ray Scattering Experiment
Rutherford Alpha Ray Scattering Experiment Hey, Guys, most of you might have heard about the alpha ray scattering experiment and if you want to know in detail about Rutherford's model and the experiment he conducted, this is the right place for you... But first: Things You Must Know Some basic information that will help you understand rutherford experiment properly: Proton is a sub-atomic particle which is positively charged and has a mass of 1u. Alpha particles are helium atom with a charge of +2 as they have lost 2 electrons. Alpha particles have an atomic mass of 4u. Gold is highly malleable and can be beaten into very thin sheets. Experiment Rutherford conducted his experiment in the following way: Rutherford took a very thin gold foil and bombarded it with high energy alpha particles. He placed a layer of zinc sulphide on the walls where the experiment was taking place because when alpha particles strike zinc sulphide layer, it results i
Animal and Plant Cells
Cells Cells are the basic functional, biological and structural unit of life. The word cell is a Latin word meaning 'small room'. Cells are also known as building blocks of life. The branch of science that deals with the form, structure, and composition of a cell is known as Cytology. All organisms around us are made up of cells. Bacteria, ameba, paramecium, algae, fungi, plants and animals are made up of cells. Cells together form tissues. And tissue together makes an organ. History Of Cell The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. He assembled a simple microscope and observed a very thin slice of cork under his primitive microscope. The cork was obtained from the outer covering of a tree called bark. Robert Hooke observed many little-partitioned boxes or compartments in the cork slice. These boxes appeared like a honey-comb. He termed these boxes as the cell. He also noticed that one box was separated from another by a wall. What Ho
Isotopes, Isobars and Isotones
Isotopes These are elements which have the same atomic number but different atomic mass . They have the same atomic number because the number of protons that are inside their nuclei remains the same. But, they have different atomic mass because the number of neutrons that are also inside their nuclei is different. As the number of protons inside nuclei remains same, therefore the overall charge of the elements also remains same as in isotopes: no of protons = no of electrons . Hence, as isotopes overall charge remains neutral, therefore their chemical properties will also remain identical. Therefore, Isotopes are chemically same but physically different.
Important Mathematical Constants!
Important Mathematical Constants Mathematical constants are those numbers that are special and interesting because they come up in the various fields of mathematics like geometry, calculus etc. These mathematical constants are usually named after the person who discovered it and they are represented by a symbol that is usually picked up from the Greek alphabet. Mathematical constants are by definition very important. In this article we will take a look at certain mathematical constants that are more commonplace than others. 1. π (pi) or Archimedes constant (~3.14159): π is defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. This is probably the most popular mathematical constant. So π is the circumference of the circle whose diameter is 1 unit. You might have seen it popping up when calculating the area of a circle (πr 2 ) or the circumference of a circle (2πr). It has many uses throughout mathematics from calculating the area of certain shap

It is a well known fact that a nutritious diet is essential for looking and feeling our best. Our bodies are constantly working hard; growing and repairing, providing energy, digesting food, thinking and so much more. So where does it get the raw materials from to do all of this? Food of course.
We wouldn't put petrol in a diesel car and still expect it to work, but many people eat food that is not fuelling them effectively. Just because our bodies don't come to an abrupt halt doesn't mean to say they are not functioning well below an optimal level.
Messages in the media about health and diet can be conflicting and confusing but one message remains consistent - the food you eat has significant consequences for your health.
A nutritious diet, tailored to your needs, has the potential to improve numerous health conditions and optimise physical and emotional wellbeing, so it is essential that we don't overlook it.
And the best news? Good nutrition doesn't mean that you have to live on a diet of rabbit food. The key to optimising your diet is through the understanding, practicality, and enjoyment of food.
Understanding - the knowledge of your own unique nutritional needs.
Practicality - making good nutrition a simple and achievable part of a busy lifestyle.
Enjoyment - because food should be a pleasure, tasting great and nourishing us at the same time.
Find out more about how to look and feel your best with a nutrition consultation. I hold regular clinics in London as well as consulting clients nationally and internationally via Skype or FaceTime.

According to the evolutionary, or big bang, theory of the universe, the universe is expanding while the total energy and matter it contains remain constant. Therefore, as the universe expands, the density of its energy and matter must become progressively thinner. At left is a two-dimensional representation of the universe as it appears now, with galaxies occupying a typical section of space. At right, billions of years later the same amount of matter will fill a larger volume of space.

Q: How to isolate the car ground with MCU ground? I know optocoupler does the job of isolation very well. How to isolate supply ground?
If car battery is supplying the power to the MCU, then the ground will be common always and it defeats the purpose of having optocoupler for sensing voltage.
Is there any way to isolate supply ground, should be as cheap as possible or if not possible what to do?
Here is the circuit :

A: I think your effort is seriously misguided. From your other question it looks obvious that you want to interface a logical signal in the range from 10 to 28 V to a 5-V tolerant MCU input. Optoisolator is not the device you need for this task, you need a simple signal limiter, something like a 1-k resistor with a 4.7-V Zener diode to ground. That's it, unless you have some other issues related to noise or something.

A:
If car battery is supplying the power to the MCU, then the ground will be common always and it defeats the purpose of having optocoupler for sensing voltage.

Yes and no.
For the purpose of isolation it obviously doesn't help due to the common ground.
For the purpose of protection it still provides some functionality.
If the ground of the optocoupler can carry enough current, your circuit can withstand a fault condition only damaging the optocoupler, but not the microcontroller or other circuitry.
However, I recommend this circuit.

When your local or First Nations government has declared it safe for you to return home, there are steps you can take to make this transition easier and safer.
Local authorities may specify a safe route or routes for your return. Follow their directions, including road closures and other signage, and avoid shortcuts.
Your home and its surroundings may not look like they did before you left. As you arrive, it's important to obey all signage and understand Damage Assessment Placards. Damage Assessment Placards are notices that the local government places on buildings within the damaged area. They tell you whether a structure is suitable for re-entry, if access is restricted or if it is unsafe to enter. Visit BC Housing for more information on placards.
If you can only enter your home once, remove your valuables and take steps to secure your property.
Bring supplies like a flashlight, tools, drinking water, gloves, garbage bags and a first aid kit.
Walk around the perimeter of any structure before entering, noting electrical wiring, any gas smell or debris that could fall, and photographing damage.
Enter with caution and check that the main power breaker is off.
Only use generators outdoors; do not connect to a household circuit.
Note sewage and water damage; your septic system or sump pump may not work without power and water may not be potable (that is, may not be safe to consume).
Do not use your sewage disposal system unless you know it's capable of handling waste.
If using propane, gas or heating oil, contact suppliers for inspection and service.
Take pictures, keep track of your expenses and the time you spend cleaning up and make sure you keep your receipts.
Do not drink tap water unless local officials have assured you that it's safe for drinking. Obtain bottled water, or boil or disinfect tap water with tablets (or chlorine bleach for non-drinking needs). If you are on a well or cistern and it has been damaged, assume the water is not safe to drink. Contact your local authority for instructions.
Food can be damaged by unsafe temperatures, smoke, ash, soot, fire retardant chemicals, water and loss of power during a fire.
Discard food that is spoiled, as well as food that has been stored in a refrigerator that has lost power, even if the power has since been restored. When in doubt, throw it out.
Discard damaged, dented or bulging cans.
Photograph foods that are discarded as the information may be required for insurance purposes. Contact your insurance provider for specific details and requirements.
Follow current local guidelines on where food waste may be discarded.
Clean and sanitize canned foods/drinks exposed to smoke only.
If your freezer has been exposed to fire or has been without power for more than three days, discard the contents. Discard any food that has thawed. It is considered safe to re-freeze partially frozen foods as long it still contains visible ice crystals. If you do not need to replace your fridge or freezer, clean, disinfect and deodorize your fridge and freezer once you have discarded the spoiled food.
Do we need to get rid of our fridge\freezer?
Each situation will be different, as the amount of time that a home has been without power will vary. Generally, at this point we don't believe that most people affected by the wildfires to date will have been without power for long enough to need to discard their appliances; however, that could change in the future.
When you return home, determine if you have power to your refrigerator, cooler or freezer. If you have any suspicion that your refrigerator or cooler was not at or below 4°C (or at or below -18°C for your freezer) at some point while you were away, the food in your appliance may need to be discarded. If you choose to discard this food, photograph the food for use in speaking with your insurance provider.
If you are concerned about the safety of your refrigerator, cooler or freezer, you may need to replace it. If you choose to replace your appliance, photograph its outside and inside for use in speaking with your insurance provider.
Wear gloves and goggles, keep children and pets away, and ventilate the area you're cleaning well.
Smoke odours can last a long time, and you may need to clean everything several times.
Vacuum all surfaces, change heating and air conditioning filters, and have ducts cleaned.
Soot/smoke can be removed from painted walls with trisodium phosphate, but wallpaper may not be salvageable.
Clean dirt off furniture, removing drawers and scrubbing wooden surfaces; let dry thoroughly.
Linoleum flooring may require replacement, but wood and carpet can be vacuumed and washed.
To remove odours from fridges and freezers, wash with baking soda/water, vinegar or ammonia.
Locks and hinges should be taken apart, thoroughly cleaned and oiled.
Dispose of hazardous materials like solvents and garden chemicals if they show signs of damage. Separate hazardous materials from landfill waste and dispose appropriately.
If your documents are in a safe, do not attempt to open it until it is cool to the touch. Keep track of lost documents, including birth certificates, passports and tax records.
Review your policy to understand what items to list, then take an inventory – you'll need to provide a list of lost or damaged items as part of your claim.
Take photos or videos, noting serial numbers if possible and the approximate cost of each item.
Keep your inventory with receipts related to living expenses, repairs and inspections.
Notify your mortgage company and keep them informed about restoration of your property.
If you have questions about your home insurance, call your insurance representative directly or call the Insurance Bureau of Canada toll-free at 1 844-2-ASK-IBC.
If you can repair and live in your home, look for a reputable contractor to help with restoration; you may get recommendations from friends and neighbours or your insurance adjuster.
Verify the track record of any roofer or builder, dealing with only licensed contractors. Beware of potential scams.
Contact your local authority about submitting plans and getting a building permit, as needed.
Ask for a written estimate and get a copy of the final, signed contract before the job begins.
Pay only by cheque or credit card – not cash; consider a hold back payable post-completion.
Damage to utilities must be repaired under permit and inspected by the appropriate agency.
If you live in a First Nations community, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) is able to cover the costs of repairing homes and buildings, as identified in recovery plans submitted by the local First Nations government. In general, where private insurance is in place, that coverage comes first. Where there is no insurance, the INAC recovery plan takes effect.
If you haven't already, contact your local government Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) regarding number and location of relocated livestock.
Inspect your farm for hazards and damage, secure the site and contact your insurance provider.
Assess the situation to determine if you have the ability to feed, water, shelter and safely contain your livestock. Take care to avoid hazards.
Assess the condition and safety of buildings, equipment and other infrastructure; you may require the help of a professional.
Check on the status of stored fuels and other hazardous materials.
Evaluate and document damage to equipment, structures and fence lines.
Animals should not be returned to your farm until the Evacuation Alert is lifted.
Consider all the recommendations above.
Locate and determine the health and condition of remaining animals, and provide for their food, water and safety needs.
Determine your capacity to continue to feed, water, shelter and safely contain your remaining livestock.
Determine any additional feed and water needs and make arrangement to secure resources if necessary (this may require outside help provided by your local government).
Determine the number of missing animals. Document any loss of livestock, farm buildings, fences or equipment (in writing and with photographs).
Notify your Local Government EOC of any large numbers of injured or dead animals.
For your safety, maintain awareness of the hazard(s) in your area and follow any instructions from your local officials.
Inspect your farm for hazards and damage, taking care to avoid hazards.
Locate and determine the health and condition of your remaining animals; provide for their food, water and safety needs.
Determine your ability to continue to feed, water, shelter and safely contain remaining livestock.
Determine whether you need to relocate or free animals.
Note the number of dead or missing animals; if there are large numbers of injured or dead animals, notify your local government EOC.
Water-soluble fire retardants are commonly used in fire suppression.
Retardant is typically coloured red with an iron oxide (rust) mixture to increase its visibility for air crews and ground personnel.
If retardant lands on houses, cars, etc., it can easily be washed off with water.
If the retardant is dry, removal may require some scrubbing with water or power washing and a mild detergent.

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

When I remove ViewPager, progress bar image is appearing at start as expected.
This is my imageView in Fragment of ViewPager:

</com.sample.android.contact.widget.NestedCoordinatorLayout>

When I use Handler post delay to set image, again it is appearing as expected :
 mHandler.postDelayed(() -> mProgressBar.setImageResource(R.drawable.loading_animation), 0);

But without using Handler, it is unclear.
What could be the reason and how to resolve it?
And this is loading_animation :

    android:drawable="@drawable/loading_img"
    android:pivotX="50%"
    android:pivotY="50%" />

Hey Buddy, Can You Spare a Charge?
Plug-in electric vehicles have hit the market here in Oregon. A plug-in electric vehicle runs on batteries that can be recharged by connecting to an electric power source and uses no fossil fuel if its batteries are charged from nuclear, hydroelectric or other renewable resources. Compared to internal combustion engines, advocates profess that plug-in vehicles will reduce air pollution, dependence on foreign oil and greenhouse gases. Although plug-ins may be good for the environment, the subsidies and tax credits attempting to jumpstart the adoption of the electric car are misguided and unnecessary.
There are currently five charging stations in Portland and surrounding areas, and PGE expects to help facilitate the installation of 7 more stations. Current stations are located at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Lake Oswego City Hall, and three Portland General Electric offices. Several local governments, including Oregon City, plan to install charging stations in the near future at a cost of about $7,500 plus electricity usage. Right now, the owners of plug-in electric vehicles pay nothing for charging their vehicles at these stations and there are no solid plans to charge them in the future.
Who exactly pays for the charging? All PGE customers pay for the PGE charging stations scattered throughout downtown, and all of the citizens of Lake Oswego pay for a few plug-in vehicle owners to fuel their "environmentally friendly" vehicles. Soon, all Oregon City citizens will be paying for their charging station even if they don't own a plug-in vehicle.
There are three fairly obvious problems with plug-in electric vehicles and the artificial jumpstarting of an industry with incentives. One is that the populations of cities like Lake Oswego and PGE ratepayers are eating the cost of driving for these plug-in early adopters. Another problem is that tax credits are being given to plug-in vehicle purchasers who are already saving money by not paying for gasoline. Lastly, road usage fees are collected by the gasoline tax, and plug-in vehicle owners are avoiding this tax.
Plug-in vehicles can be promoted without having to offer free services at the expense of non-benefiting citizens and ratepayers. Charging an electric vehicle has been promoted as more cost-effective than paying for a gallon of gas, typically estimated at paying the equivalent of 75 cents per gallon of gasoline. There is no need to provide free services and subsidies to a small group of customers that are already saving money by not paying for gasoline or paying road usage taxes. The best solution would be to charge user fees for the charging stations and let the free market naturally adopt the technology.
Initially, cities and utility companies like PGE can offer the charging service but charge a usage fee to make up for the cost of the installation and the associated energy usage. This could provide enough stations to meet the small but growing demand. If demand reaches a certain level, businesses may see a profit potential to install and maintain charging stations. Parking garages may realize a benefit of providing charging stations if they attract more users to park in their garages. Malls can provide charging stations for plug-in car owners to charge up while they shop. Large stores like Wal-Mart, IKEA and Costco in the near future may see potential in offering charging services in order to attract business and portray an environmentally friendly image. Also, just like gas stations, charging stations could spring up on street corners and be managed by private owners.
There is no sense in subsidizing a plug-in vehicle through federal or state tax credits or free charging services at the expense of the public. Plug-in vehicle owners have purchased these vehicles because of the environmental benefits that are proclaimed to exist but also because the costs of operating a plug-in is significantly lower than fueling a traditional vehicle. Using ratepayer and city money to pay for early adopters is not only unjust but it does not make any economic sense. Let the free market handle the adoption of new technology; and if it isn't adopted, then it probably wasn't a good idea in the first place.
Todd Wynn is the climate change and energy policy analyst at Cascade Policy Institute, Oregon's free market public policy research center. Photo by Benjamin Brink appeared in "PGE opens stations around Portland for plug-in hybrids," The Oregonian, July 30, 2008.

A Nigerian simply identified as N. Chigozie has been killed in India after reportedly being involved in an argument about Biafra.
According to NAN, the body Chigozie was found at Hennur, north-east of Bengaluru, in the early hours of Monday.
He was said to have died after a motorcycle crash but his brother, simply identified as Nanso, said Chigozie was murdered.
On Sunday, when the deceased, his brother, and four other Nigerians partied at an African Kitchen restaurant at a place called Byrathi, a disagreement was said to have ensued about food.
"The six revellers quarrelled over sharing food and assaulted each other. Nieskho (Nanso) went to a nearby hospital to treat his injuries and Chigozie followed him on bike. While returning from the hospital, Chigozie died," the police said.
Bangalore Mirror, a local newspaper, said Chigozie was "killed after an argument with other friends over Biafra".
"The victim, along with his brother Nanso, is said to have partied with a group of friends at a house in Byrathi. During the party, it is alleged that the brothers and their friends had an argument over a political development in their country. Police said both the brothers were allegedly beaten up," the newspaper said.
"Nanso, who had come in his car, drove to a nearby private hospital and is said to have taken treatment. Chigozie, who was returning home on his bike, was found dead near the railway bridge.
"Nanso suspects that his brother could have been killed. However prima facie evidence suggests that the death could also be due to an accident.
The police also said the group of friends who were partying discussed information of a separate state in Nigeria (Biafra).
"The discussion led to assault and the brothers were badly beaten up," the police said.


Gold brass finished console tables are cherished for their ability to bring glam and luxury through their rich and shiny tones. So, this article is going to show you some of the most breathtaking console tables finished golden tones!
This mahogany structured console features a brass inside finished in gold polish, while its exterior is finished in polished stainless steel. In this case, the gold brass resembles a freshly cracked stone in a graceful form.
Ready to make a difference in luxury interior design, this gold console mixes harmonious lines with exquisite detail. To achieve extravagance, this piece's artisans handcrafted the structure in mahogany with a high gloss lacquer finish and top coated in gold plated polished brass.
Here is another example of glamorous and modern console tables: a narrow piece with chic polished gold brass legs and structure, featuring a green marble top and a gallery shelf for additional storage.
If you are looking for console tables with charming detailed handles adorning the doors and drawers, this piece is the one. Its polished gold brass legs certainly do justice to the orchid handles.
For retro interior design styles and mid-century admirers, this is a perfect piece of furniture. Built entirely out of solid walnut wood, it is accented by its gold-plated brass front doors that feature a protruding circular design.
Imagine how normal this console would be without the gold plated brass finish. It's a perfect example of how touches of brass can reflect warm and golden tones on a wood surface. Such an impressive display of elegance.
For a living space elevation, you need console tables just like this one: polished with marble on the top and a solid wrought iron frame that was hand-hammered and given an antique brass finish.
This elegant console table would create quite an entrance in any hallway and make people wonder how they ever lived without it.
This is an example of how gold brass console tables can make such a neutral-colored living room stand out. Even the thin-lined golden finishes on the wall paintings show how simple but important golden details can be.
Let's wrap it up with the mother of the gold brass finish console tables. This exuberant industrial design console table is made of different lengths of golden tubes and it presents the most astonishing minimalist look.
After these breathtaking console tables, are you going to be able to look at not gold-plated consoles the same way?
Tell us what your thoughts on these are!

The Together We're Better health and care partnership for Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent will be holding its first Suicide Prevention Conference on Friday 30 November.
At the event, Together We're Better partner organisations will be signing the Zero Suicide Charter, which sets out the aim to have zero suicides in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent from 2019 onwards.
As well as health and care professionals, representatives from local schools, universities, police, fire and the voluntary sector will be in attendance alongside Councillor Lillian Dodd, the Lord Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent.
Among the key speakers at this important event will be a group of survivors who will be talking about their personal experiences and are happy to be interviewed by members of the media.
Other topics covered on the day will include mental health in schools and the impact of suicide on our local families. The Staffordshire and Stoke-On-Trent Suicide Prevention Network will also provide an update on their latest action plan, while local creative arts group Man Up will be performing.
Local media are warmly invited to attend the conference to interview survivors, senior health and care leaders in attendance and to take photos of the signing of the Suicide Charter.


A Deadpool on 5×7 canvas board. In a super sweet frame. It can be yours. Drop me a line. $20 without the frame, $35 with it.
You can't touch the music, but the music can touch you.
San Diego International Comic-Con was 100% fantastic. No complaints. Hopefully they will invite me back in 2015. We had an absolute blast.
I have a couple of prints left over from the show. If you'd like one drop me a line or leave a comment below. Prints are first come first served, and limited to the number on hand. $15 each shipped, or multiple prints $10 each plush $5 shipped.
Got my hands on a couple of blank Deadpool #1's. This is the end result for one.
Deadpool #1 from the new Marvel NOW! which is a new beginning for the Marvel Universe.
A disfigured and mentally unstable mercenary, Deadpool originally appeared as a villain in an issue of New Mutants, and later in issues of X-Force. The character has since starred in several ongoing series, and shares titles with other characters such as Cable. The character, known as the "Merc with a Mouth", is famous for his talkative nature and his tendency to "break the fourth wall", which is used by writers for humorous effect. Deadpool was ranked 182nd on Wizard magazine's list of the Top 200 Comic Book Characters of All Time; ranked 45th on Empire magazine's list of The 50 Greatest Comic Book Characters, and placed 31st on IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Heroes.
Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget comments are encouraged, as well as signing up for email notifications.
A couple of items I'll have in tow with me at the North Texas Comic Show.
First up, hand painted Deadpool sketch variant cover.
And a hand painted Hit Girl sketch cover.
Here are a few blank sketch variants I've recently completed. Some are available in the shop. A blank sketch variant is actually an entire comic book with a blank front and back cover. So, you can get your favorite artist to draw a sketch on it, or you can do one yourself. Everyone should take a shot at one of these, it's fun and you get your own personalized comic book that is a true one of one. I have a couple of blank's that have not been drawn on as of yet, so if there is something you'd like done please give me a shout and I'll be happy to work something out for you. It's a good way of getting original art without breaking the bank. And they make great gifts for comic book fans.
Here are a couple of Marvel blank variant covers I whipped up recently. Blank variant covers are real comics, with the regular insides. The only difference is the cover is blank on the front and back.
Here is an Uncanny X-Men #1 with a pencil sketch of Deadpool.
And an X-Men #7 with a colored sketch of Magento.


Landlord insurance including malicious damage cover will pay for damages inflicted to your furniture caused by tenants that rent property from you. The policy you're looking for is contents insurance.
What will the landlord contents insurance policy pay out for?
The policy will pay for damaged furniture, as in sofas, carpets, and other furniture you purchased for your business. If the tenant causes malicious damages to items or steals from, then you're covered.
The policy will also pay out for damages to wooden flooring and other fixtures and fittings around your let property. Having this policy is a great way to protect your investments.
Can I get insured for accidental damages too?
Your policy should cover you for accidental damages and malicious damage with the same policy or you may need to buy two separate policies. Accidents happen all the time and people don't care for other people's property as much as their own.
Again, if you have valuable items in your property you let out, get cover and stay out of trouble.
What about damages caused by pets?
Pets can cause damage all right; dogs are the worst pets to have (some dogs) in a let property because they love sofas and soft furniture. Some dogs, usually puppies, hate being left in the house by themselves, it's not unusual to find the place in an uproar after a good night out.
If this does happen, and it could, sofas might needs replaced or even tables chairs and other things which were left in the animals way, it's not their fault, it's their nature.
Some landlord insurance including malicious damage policies do cover pet damages, but you'll need to compare companies to find one as most do not.
How much can I be insured for with my policy?
Contents insurance for landlords can cover very expensive goods; policies are available from insurance companies for high-end goods and not so high-end goods.
You can basically insure anything you want with a good landlord contents insurance policy. Cover can be purchased from £1000 or £2000 up to £75,000 and sometimes higher with some specialized companies.
There are goods that landlord insurance companies will not cover like antiques, which would require a separate insurance policy on that valuable item.
Anything from a few hundred pounds per year to a few thousands pounds per year depending on your goods. If it's only a few thousand pounds worth of furniture, then a typical landlord insurance including malicious damage policy should only cost you a few hundred pounds, again, depending on the insurance company, the price will vary.
How can I prevent damages from happening again?
Put the work into finding a good tenant, ask for references and ask for previous addresses and previous landlords they've dealt with in the past. Do your own evaluation of the tenant and ask questions (to your self) like these below.
Do they look as if they are trustable?
You'll get a good idea of an individual when you meet them for the first time and you know what they say, first impressions last. Use your gut feeling and make a better decision.
If you pay an estate agent to find you a tenant, you can always ask to chat with your new tenant before they move in. All this can save you headaches and hassle in the future.
Can I find a policy on this website?
Yes, it's easy to find a policy with this free landlord insurance quote form that compares top rated landlord insurers for you, and then comes back with the best insurer and price.

Modem (od modulator-demodulator) – urządzenie elektroniczne, które moduluje sygnał w celu zakodowania informacji cyfrowych, tak by mogły być przesyłane w wybranym medium transmisyjnym, a także demoduluje tak zakodowany sygnał w celu dekodowania odbieranych danych.

Najbardziej znanym przykładem jest modem akustyczny zamieniający cyfrowe dane z komputera osobistego na modulowany sygnał elektryczny w zakresie częstotliwości akustycznej kanału telefonicznego. Te sygnały mogą być przekazywane przez linie telefoniczne i demodulowane przez inny modem po stronie odbiornika, aby odzyskać dane cyfrowe.

Zasada działania

Modemy akustyczne

W najstarszych modemach dane były zamieniane na dźwięki o częstotliwości 5 kHz i składały się z przetwornika elektrycznego, głośnika i mikrofonu. W urządzenie to wkładało się zwykłą słuchawkę telefoniczną, która ponownie przetwarzała dźwięki na impulsy elektryczne. W tamtych czasach firmy telefoniczne dopuszczały przesyłanie torem telefonicznym tylko sygnałów o przebiegu sinusoidalnym, co znacznie ograniczało dopuszczalne szybkości transmisji. Pierwsze modemy miały szybkość transmisji 300 bodów.

Modemy elektryczne
Współczesne modemy generują wprost impulsy elektryczne, które przesyłane są bezpośrednio do kabla telefonicznego bez pośrednictwa mikrofonu. Współczesne modemy wykorzystujące sieć telefoniczną nie generują przerywanych dźwięków o stałej częstotliwości, lecz sygnał jest kodowany za pomocą modulowanych fal o częstotliwości od 5 do 15 kHz. Górna, fizyczna granica szybkości przesyłu informacji od centrali do abonenta przez zwykłe łącze telefoniczne to 56 kb/s, co można osiągnąć za pomocą protokołów takich jak K56Flex i X2. Wartość ta wynika z tego, że wewnątrz centrali sygnał przesyłany jest cyfrowo w standardzie: poziom: 8 bitów, częstotliwość: 8 kHz, jeden bit musi być wykorzystany jako zegar i dlatego maksymalna prędkość transmisji jest równa 56 kb/s.

Publiczną sieć telefoniczną wykorzystuje się również do znacznie szybszych połączeń, wymaga to jednak stosowania odpowiednich urządzeń na centrali telefonicznej.

Inne modemy
Inne urządzenia do przesyłania danych cyfrowych w mediach, które pierwotnie lub z głównego założenia nie są cyfrowe, także nazywa się modemami. Przykładowo modemy stosuje się również do połączeń innych niż sieć telefoniczna, np. sieć telewizji kablowej, czy łącza dedykowane.

Rodzaje modemów
Modem może być:
 zewnętrzny, czyli występujący w postaci oddzielnego urządzenia, znajdującego się poza komputerem i połączony z nim (lub z innym odbiornikiem) przy użyciu przewodu (interfejs: RS-232, USB, LPT, ethernet) oraz charakteryzujący się pełną samodzielnością sprzętową.
 wewnętrzny, w postaci specjalnej karty rozszerzeń instalowanej wewnątrz komputera (PCI, ISA), zazwyczaj wykorzystującej w pewnym stopniu procesor komputera.

Inną klasyfikację dokonuje się ze względu na medium. Wyróżniamy modemy:
 telefoniczne (klasyczne i xDSL)
 kablowe
 radiowe
