[Guest blog post by Jay Baer]: Every day, consumers get overwhelmed by a flood of invitations on the web from hundreds of companies asking them for likes, follows, clicks, shares, comments and attention. These invitations are in addition to all the legacy advertising that constantly bombards us, too.
You'll find tons of books out there that tell you how to be an amazing company. Most of them say you can win hearts and minds by doing things differently, providing knock-your-socks-off customer service, or fundamentally changing your corporate culture.
What if—instead of trying to be amazing—you just focused on being USEFUL?
If you sell something, you make a customer today; if you help someone, you make a customer for life.
I call this Youtility. Not "utility," because a utility is a faceless commodity. Youtility is marketing upside down. Instead of marketing that's needed by companies, Youtility is marketing that's wanted by customers.
Youtility is massively useful information, provided for FREE, that creates long term trust and kinship between your company and your customers.
But those two letters make all the difference now.
The way customers gather information about companies and make purchase decisions has changed. Consumers' time and attention has never been more scarce, and their suspicion of lazy interruption marketing has never been more acute. In this climate, Youtility is not an option; it's a necessity.
Smart marketers today will need to change the way they use the social space and become a Youtility to truly connect with customers to build long term relationships. You're not just competing for attention against other, similar products. You're competing for attention against everything.
People will not magically find your Youtility; you have to add promotional support. Use social media to promote your useful information first, and your company second.
This shift in thinking will move your company from just another business pushing their marketing message to becoming a Youtility that will build lasting relationships.
Are you ready to make this shift?
Let us know your thoughts on this approach to marketing in the comments below. We'd love to hear from you.
See below for a free chapter of Youtility: Why Smart Marketing is About Help not Hype by Jay Baer, published in late June by Portfolio/Penguin. See YoutilityBook.com for other resources.
Watch this fun trailer for Jay's new book!

ll those stories about Elon Musk slurping through half a million dollars an hour yet producing only a small fraction of the promised electric cars would not surprise anyone who's ever worked for a self-aggrandizing maniac.
We all know the type. They promise the moon, and they're able to convince others because they're sincere. The maniacs—and I call them that affectionately—honestly believe they can deliver, and maybe they could, if their idea happened to be right. They're so good at convincing others that they've convinced themselves as well. Alas, science doesn't work that way.
I've seen it over and over: people are blind to the challenges that people in other fields face. I remember, back when I was a postdoc, biochemists talking disparagingly about other fields, saying that this or that experiment was "just doing pharmacology" or "this is just botany." I suppose pharmacologists and botanists were saying the same about us.
There are some smart entrepreneurs out there, but there's a whole class who are just like Elon Musk. Their strategy is (a) come up with a harebrained idea, (b) skip over all the intervening steps, and (c) success! What that actually boils down to is (1) trick an investor or the government with grandiose promises, (2) spend the money, (3) goto 1. Needless to say, this isn't a sustainable business model.
What this strategy misses is a grounding in the physical reality that others could provide. In fact, lack of grounding is the reason they became the boss: politicians, investors, and administrators often know little about the technology, but they're susceptible to grandiose promises, since that's how they got their position, and they control the funding. They think the experts have limited imaginations. And so if the expert comes up with an idea of his own, it gets squashed, thereby confirming the myth.
One organization I signed up for stopped doing innovative science in favor of a mad scheme that we were far too small to succeed at. It was taboo to question it, because doing so threatened the expected bonanza. So the organization went into a downward spiral that ended in disaster. The guy in charge was just following his vision, an admirable thing. But applying a corporate model to what should have been an academic project could never have succeeded.
After that boss left, we had one year before the local university was scheduled to take over our space and close it down. They planned to do what universities always do: fill the space with cronies and relatives of the bureaucrats. But in that one year, the lab exploded in creativity. In the absence of any direction, those six or seven guys brought the lab from ten years behind the field to the forefront of discovery. One year isn't quite enough to go from a dead stop to being fully funded, and a good leader would have helped. Instead somebody appointed a passive-aggressive dweeb who made no attempt to help any of them. He had no clue what anyone was doing, nor did he care, but at least he didn't stomp on their ideas.
In that short time, I've also witnessed the enormous pressure in academia to publish and get grants. I've seen first-hand how that pressure leads to publication of irreproducible results and—what is far more destructive—enthusiastic pursuit of blind alleys.
When I was a kid, someone once told me about core memories and how they were such a problem for the computers of that era. So I suggested that they should use an array of capacitors, and drew a little circuit diagram on a piece of paper. This was way before dynamic RAM was invented. If I'd had some way of patenting that idea, I'd be a billionaire today.
In science, innovation rarely happens because of dogged, mindless pursuit of a fixed goal or a fixed theory. Innovation happens when you immerse yourself in the task of finding a solution to some problem. You learn how the molecules or the electrons, or whatever, really interact. You see the molecules in your sleep. And one day you notice something odd, and you suddenly realize that the original theory was completely wrong.
At that point, if you're not free to change directions, that discovery will go down the drain. Once I discovered a molecule that had a weird property: it killed all the cancer cells in our dish while leaving the normal cells untouched. The boss essentially said: yes, that's nice, now get back to work on your original task. The chemical was dumped into the chemical waste bin and was lost forever.
We always think it's the obsession with short term profits that kills innovation. But just as deadly is the myth that the most charismatic guy, the person with the most grandiose ideas, is the one who should be put in charge. That type of person may or may not be useful in industry, but he's deadly to science. Nothing gets in the way of his vision. His management style makes it impossible for the researchers to change direction, throw out the established dogma, and follow the newly discovered truth. Instead, they're pressured to continue focusing on the task that they quickly discover to be a dead end, because the funding depends not on discovering the real solution to the problem, but on getting the preordained solution to work.
If society wants scientific discoveries, new technologies, or cures for diseases, all they have to do is turn scientists loose and let them solve problems. To make that happen would require massive changes in how academia, industry, and nonprofits manage and fund their research.
Oh, as Detective Columbo used to say, and one more thing: take all those maniacs with their grand visions, give them nice jackets with extra-long sleeves, and lock them up someplace where they can't hurt anybody.
Corporate Speak may sound silly, but it's actually a way of using language to hide the awful truth that your company is doomed.
I've developed thirteen golden rules that any manager can use to run the company into the ground.


Holiday leftovers are the best! Today, I am sharing a few of my favorite leftover turkey recipes.
While I love a turkey sandwich, I have found that if I rely on turkey sandwiches to use up all of the leftover turkey, much of it will end up going to waste. So I create a plan for how I am going to use the leftovers before I even roast our turkey. My plan doesn't mean that I feed my family a different turkey recipe every night for a week after Thanksgiving. Instead, I include a few turkey recipes in my menu plan for the week after Thanksgiving and freeze the rest in the portion sizes I will need for the turkey recipes that I serve in December. Having precooked turkey in the freezer means I can create quick and easy dinners on the busy nights leading up to Christmas.
While I clean up the kitchen after our Thanksgiving dinner, my husband carves up the turkey. He divides the meat up into usable portions and places some in the refrigerator for our immediate use and some in the freezer for me to use in leftovers.
After all the meat has been removed, I use the turkey bones to create Turkey Broth in a Slow Cooker. Once I have the broth made, I am ready to use it as a base in many of the recipe below. If you don't have time to make broth shortly after Thanksgiving, you can always freeze the turkey carcass and make homemade turkey broth at a more convenient time.
great post because so many people including myself have so much leftover turkey and these are great ideas.
Glad I found this post! I have SO much turkey left over!!!!!

2021 is already looking brighter at Devon Air Ambulance (DAA) as new and exciting fundraising plans are already in motion. Last year, shortly after the cancellation of many of their traditional events, the team at DAA found that lots of their supporters were still eager to help and raise as much money as they could to help bolster the charity's loss of funds due to Covid-19.
Fundraiser, Linda Gilbert from Ogwell near Newton Abbot, astounded everyone at DAA by making face coverings since the early days of the pandemic and still hasn't stopped. Linda said:
"I love fabric but decided I had too much, so wondered what I could make. At the same time a lovely neighbour, who is a midwife, asked if I could possibly make her a few masks for work and that's how it all began. I saw an opportunity not only to help people by making 100% cotton masks, but also to raise money for a charity.
I am from a Devon family and am very, very proud of my county. The idea of combining the two, mask making and helping DAA sprung into my mind. I thought I might be able to donate £500! Well, the rest is history and I soon hope to reach £10,000!
I have been so heartened by the overwhelming support I have had and at every juncture. People have been delighted to help our wonderful local charity and so have I. 2020 has been a difficult year for all but a year where there has been a very positive and rewarding outcome from my sewing machine and me!"
Last year, with the restrictions surrounding fundraising events and gatherings, 'virtual' events began to emerge more frequently and DAA was quick to react to their supporters' offer of help by launching the Base2Base challenge in June. This was a 40-mile challenge (the distance between their two air bases) which could be completed over a month by any means. Despite the restrictions, intrepid travellers of all ages - on foot, on horseback, on 2 wheels and even one - raised an incredible £8k.
Due to the huge success and participation of the event, DAA is planning its next soon-to-be-announced, fun fitness challenge which will take place in the Spring. So, as we leap into a new year, it's time to get the trainers, hiking boots and comfy shoes or relevant transport at the ready as this challenge will be open to families and fundraisers of any age to join in.
Heléna Holt, CEO of Devon Air Ambulance, said:
"We were so sorry to have to announce the cancellation of our three main fundraising events last year and after doing so, we quickly needed to do all we could to find other ways to maintain our income, and the service we provide for the people of Devon. We were absolutely thrilled, that despite the pandemic affecting people in all sorts of ways, they strongly supported our first virtual event, which attracted not only some very keen fitness enthusiasts but also lots of young children and families having lots of fun, which was lovely to see.
Our next challenge will be just as good, if not better and hopefully, as the weather becomes brighter and the days a little longer, you will feel like springing into action and raising more, much needed funds for your air ambulance service."
More details about the next DAA Challenge will be available on the DAA website www.daat.org and social media channels soon.
If you have a great idea for a Covid-safe fundraiser, don't keep it to yourself – let the team at DAA know at [email protected] and they may be able to help you share your idea or get it off the ground.

«Жажда» (, Bakjwi; буквально: «Летучая мышь») — кинофильм режиссёра, сценариста и продюсера Пака Чхан Ука, вышедший на экраны в 2009 году. Сюжет фильма навеян романом Эмиля Золя «Тереза Ракен». Картина была удостоена Приза жюри 62-го Каннского кинофестиваля.

Сюжет
Католический священник Хён Сан Хён (Сон Кан Хо) работает в больнице. После долгих размышлений он решает отправиться в Африку и принять участие в опытах по изучению смертельно опасного «вируса Эммануэля». Чудесным образом он оказывается единственным выжившим подопытным и возвращается в Корею. Однако болезнь возвращается снова, и единственным средством нейтрализовать её симптомы оказывается человеческая кровь. Священник понимает: в Африке ему случайно была перелита вампирская кровь, и это позволило побороть вирус. Впрочем, теперь ему приходится сдерживать новые инстинкты, зовущие его к кровопролитию.

For the past couple of months, Sam had been talking about Banchetto and how much variety of food there is — from dumplings to pizza to grilled meat and everything in between. She had gone there with her friends and, obviously, she liked the food and the experience. I've been wanting to go there since I first heard her mention the place but Banchetto is only open once a week — from midnight of Friday until 11.00 a.m. of the following day.
What kind of restaurant operates like that? Well, Banchetto isn't a restaurant. It's a street food gallery. Tents are put up along Emerald Avenue at the Ortigas Center and restaurants, eateries and food sellers bring and sell their stuff there.
But Friday evenings are toxic — after picking up the girls from the condo, all we really want to do is go home, lie down and sleep. And no one gets up early on Saturday morning. So, we never got to try Banchetto.
Then, I discovered that the Banchetto organizers have the same set-up at different locations on different days of the week. On Monday and Tuesday evenings, Banchetto operates at the parking lot of Shopwise Libis.
Last night, close to midnight, just on a whim, Speedy and I went to the Shopwise Libis Banchetto.
Sadly, it is nowhere near the size described by Sam. There were only a few stalls, less than ten, in fact, and most were selling the same stuff — grilled skewered meat or ulam and rice in styrofoam boxes. There were very few visitors too.
I didn't care for the sausages, obviously — we have four different kinds in the freezer already.
But a nameless stall (the owner's name is Myra, according to the stall minders) caught my eye — grilled isaw! Okay, pork intestines for you, non-Filipino speakers and readers. And pork ears!
… while our pork intestines and ears were grilled.
And how were they? Speedy would have been happier if the intestines were crisper. And he didn't like that the meat was tinged with red food color. The pork ears were pretty good though. Twenty-five pesos per stick, if I heard Speedy correctly.
And so we ordered lechon kawali, sans rice, with a vinegar dipping and the more traditional liver sauce. Seventy pesos. And we were in pork heaven. The pork was nicely crisp outside but the fat was like butter that melted in our mouths. Delicious!
After all that meat, we wanted coffee and something sweet. Donuts, Speedy suggested. But there were no donut vendors at the Shopwise Libis Banchetta. We drove to Katipunan Avenue hoping for a 24-hour donut place but found none. Well, we could live without the donuts. I suggested that we just go back home. We have great brewed coffee at home and homemade pistachio ice cream. And they were more than enough to conclude our after-midnight food tripping.
sarap! na-miss ko tuloy yung stall ng isaw and bbq dun sa UP Diliman, malapit sa post office…my husband (boyfriend ko pa lang sya nun) used to go there after work.
sa picture pa lang mukhang masarap na!!
ang cute naman bonding time nyo….
i suggest u try banchetto sa emerald,. mas maraming food stalls and choices. but like u said tired na kayo pg friday night..
oh well, at least natry nyo ung banchetto..
Hoping that one Friday night, we can all go — Speedy and me and the girls.
And watch out for pick pockets and salisi MO. My cousin and several friends already feel victim to that since sobrang daming tao that you really wouldn't notice kung may dumudukot na ng things mo. be careful lang po.
Meron din Banchetto sa bandang parking ng Robinsons Pioneer kapag Wednesday at Thursday dun 8:30pm – 5am.
Empty nest pero napapadalas ang date niyo ni Sir Speedy! Ang sweet naman! Happy Valentine to both of you!
Medyo malayo na sa Shaw. Sa Pioneer St. corner EDSA. Yun yung dating Robinson's Place Pioneer, ngayon Robinson's Forum na. Sa parking lot nila yung Banchetto pag Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Subukan namin next time. Thanks!


An Variable Area Flow Meter has a float in a conical cylinder (tapered tube) with a larger end in the upper section and a smaller end in the lower section. The float moves up and down according to the intensity of the flow, and the position at which the float balances indicates the flow rate. Not only simple flow meters that merely measure the flow rate but also flow meters with a valve for flow control, flow meters with a load pressure fluctuation type flow controller, flow meters with a supply pressure fluctuation type flow controller, and flow meters with an alarm switch are available.

Системна конфигурация ( SC ) в системното инженерство определя компютрите, процесите и устройствата, които съставят самата система и нейната граница. По-общо казано, системната конфигурация е точното определение на елементите, които определят и/или предписват от какво се състои една система.

Алтернативно, изразът "системна конфигурация" може да бъде използван за свързване с модел (декларативен) за неконкретни обобщени системи. В този смисъл ползата от конфигурационната информация не е съобразена с конкретна употреба, а стои самостоятелно като набор от данни. Правилно конфигурирана система избягва проблемите с конфликта на ресурсите и прави по-лесно надграждането на системата с ново оборудване.

Примерна конфигурация
Отдолу е дадена основна SC XML системна конфигурация:

Описание : Това предоставя информация за един "сайт" (MyHouse) и уточнява, че има един "хост" с потребителска настройка и елементи на mysql-db. "Хостът" се нуждае от акаунт на потребител с име mysql, с подходящи показатели. Обърнете внимание, че конфигурационната схема не изисква XML тагове, които са характерни за Windows или UNIX. То просто представя данните като независима информация – без изисквания за начина им на използване.

Това е отличителният белег за добър модел на конфигурационната система.

Допълнителни разширения
Горният модел може да бъде уголемен. Например, потребителят може да има повече принадлежностти като "предпочитания" и "парола". Едни компоненти могат да зависят от други. Могат да бъдат определени свойства, които се предават в под-елементи. Уголемяванията могат да бъдат безкрайни (WATCHOUT: комплексност ) и трябва да бъдат управлявани и добре обмислени, за да бъде предотвратено "разбиването" на идеята за системната конфигурация.

Употреба
Употребата на практическия модел попада в няколко категории: документация, внедряване и операции .

Документация
Едно от предназначенията на конфигурацията е просто да запише какво представлява една система. Тази документация от своя страна може да стане доста обширна, като по този начин да усложни модела на данните. Важно е да се прави разлика между конфигурационни данни и описателни данни. Разбира се, коментарите могат да се прилагат на всяко ниво, въпреки това разширяването на данните може да намали тяхната изгода. Например системната конфигурация не е място за записване на исторически промени или описания на дизайн и неговите намерения. Конфигурационните данни просто трябва да бъдат "това, което е" или "това, което искаме да бъде".

Разгръщане
Разгръщането включва разяснение на набор от конфигурационни данни и въздействие върху тях, за да се осъществи съответното конфигуриране на системата. Това може просто да е обоснование на това, което има, за да се потвърди, че конфигурацията е в действие.

Примерите включват библиотека Perl, стартирана от командния ред, за да разчита конфигурацията и да стартира процесите на различните видове "хостове". Също така, докато системата работи, може да има услуга SystemConfiguration, която предоставя интерфейс (т.е. CORBA IDL интерфейси) за използване на други системни приложения за достъп до конфигурационните данни и извършване на действия, подобни на разгръщането.

Операции
Когато системата е в процес на обработване, може да има използване на конфигурационните данни от характерни видове услуги в системата. Например, Secnager може да получи достъп до конфигурацията, за да получи паролите на потребителските акаунти (MD5). Услуга за системно наблюдение (виж: мониторинг на системата ) може да използва данните, за да определи "какво да следи" и "как да наблюдава" елементите на системата. PresentationManager може да използва данните, за да достигне до елементи от менюто и изгледи въз основа правата на потребителския достъп.

I have a moderate to severe, sensorineural loss in both ears and wear digital hearing aids in both ears which help a lot. However understanding speech still can sometimes be a challenge for me when a person is not looking directly at me or is standing at a far distance. Noisy environments can also a challenge.
Musical studies: I began piano studies when I was eight years old, a few months before I was diagnosed with my hearing loss. Because of my visual difficulties, I learned music by ear for the first two years of my studies. During this time I discovered that I have absolute pitch. My teacher would have me turn my back to the piano, and I was to guess the random pitches that she played. I could name every one. In the beginning, it seemed paradoxical that I was a hearing impaired musician. However, when I learned of Beethoven's hearing loss, I found myself a new musical idol. It was Beethoven and his music that inspired me to keep going. Furthermore, I realized that my musical strengths didn't come from how well I could hear but how well I could remember. This is why I firmly believe that a good musical ear does not require 100% hearing but a very good memory.
When I play music I relay a lot on touch and muscle memory. I always wear my hearing aids, and for reading music I look through a telescopic lens. Memory has been my life savior in terms of making music. In addition, understanding the musical form of each piece I play is very important to me. If I can't understand it, then I can't play it. It is as simple as that.
In May 2004, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Manhattanville College where I concentrated in classical piano performance. It was during my college studies that I began studying composition and began writing music for the first time. Then, in May 2008, I earned a Master of Music from Purchase College where I concentrated in composition.
My music teachers have been extremely helpful and encouraging during my years of study. I have studied piano with Donna DeAngelis, Catherine Coppola and Flora Kuan and have studied composition with Mary Ann Joyce-Walter, Suzanne Farrin, Huang Ruo and Joel Thome.

A: According to the Telerik forums, there are two ways to change the color of an event. Via resources or via templates. (more info enter link description here) what I think is easier is to do it via templates, selecting the corresponding template according the date.
UPDATE:
using templates you should have two CSS classes, one for the previous events and other for the future events
.EventTemplate("#if(start <new Date()){#"+
"

"+
"#}else{#"+
"

"+
"#}#")

I made a quick test using the kendo UI dojo, and it works comparing to a specific date, you can watch the demo here demo
pd: it doesn't matter if the info comes from the database because the render is done at client side.

There are many styles of kitchen knives and even more sizes for each one—it's no wonder folks have such a hard time figuring out which ones to buy.
When you're first starting out, it can be tempting to purchase a knife set and you can certainly get some fine cutlery that way. But will you really use every knife in that set? The truth is, probably not.
To help you navigate the world of kitchen cutlery, here's breakdown of the seven major types of knives, what each one is for, and most importantly, whether you actually need it.
But first, remember that the one thing everyone does need is to keep their knives sharp. That means having it professionally done at least once a year to keep its edge sharp (or doing it yourself), along with regularly maintaining that edge at home with a honing steel.
This is the standard no-kitchen-is-complete-without-it knife. They're available in lengths from 8 inches all the way up to 12. If you're just starting out, 10 inches should be adequate, although there's an argument to be made for getting a 12-inch chef's knife and using an 8- or 10-inch santoku as your primary knife (we'll get to that in a bit).
Sometimes called a French knife, a chef's knife features a long, triangular blade with a slight curvature which allows the user to "rock" it back and forth when chopping herbs and also providing leverage toward the wide end of the knife for applying extra pressure.
Even if you don't use it every day, a 12-inch blade is what you'll need for slicing open the occasional butternut squash or similarly-sized ingredients. It'll also work for slicing roasts and carving a turkey.
Santoku means "three virtues" in Japanese, which refers to the fact that it's good for slicing, chopping, and mincing. Available in 5 to 8 inches, the santoku has a thinner edge than a chef's knife and allows for more precision work. If you get an 8-inch santoku, you're going to use it for 90 percent of what you do in the kitchen, like chopping vegetables, slicing cooked meats, even taking apart a chicken.
Make sure to get one that fits your hand. Santoku knives lack a bolster (the heavy knob of steel at the base of the blade of a chef's knife) and its uncurved cutting edge doesn't lend itself to the "rocking" motion of a French knife. Still, how often do you chop herbs relative to every other culinary task in your kitchen? You may also want to buy two—one with a standard edge and one with scalloped granton edges that helps prevent sliced foods from sticking to the blade.
A serrated knife will get you through any task involving the slicing of bread, but there are other uses for it, too. For example, it's helpful for slicing holiday roasts and carving turkey. The serrated blade also allows you to easily slice items with tough skins like tomatoes without demolishing them. With this one, the longer the blade, the more useful it will be, so get yourself one that's at least 14 inches. They also come in handy for leveling and splitting a cake.
A paring knife isn't strictly necessary as there's really no task it can do that your santoku can't. But for extremely fine peeling or for cutting tiny wedges of citrus peel for cocktails, a paring knife will come in handy, and they're inexpensive enough to go into the "why not" category. There are serrated and scalloped versions of this as well, as well as different tips.
And that's it for the knives you need. Next, the ones you don't.
A boning knife is one with a thin, flexible blade designed to separate large muscles from their accompanying bones. It's usually on the equipment list for culinary students, but something that almost nobody needs. Unless you regularly bone out, for instance, a full leg of lamb (with the key word being "regularly"), you should save your money. Even if you're planning just once to bone out a leg of lamb, there's still no reason to get a boning knife since there's no way you'll learn how to use it properly in one try and it won't matter what knife you use.
There's a similar knife called a fillet knife, with a thinner blade designed for fish rather than meat, that also falls into this category.
This, quite simply, is a fake knife. There is no such thing as a utility knife! It's a fictional knife created solely for the purpose of taking up a slot in the sets in kitchen stores. You know, the kind that came with a massive wooden block that sat on your counter with little slots for the knives to fit into.
This awkwardly-sized knife is too big to do the job of a paring knife and too small for anything else. The only "utility" it offers is if someone else is using your santoku knife. For occasions where you have more than one chopper in your kitchen, you'd be better off getting an extra santoku and skipping this knife altogether.
This is a massive hunk of knife designed for heavy tasks like chopping through chicken bones. The principle behind it is that its immense weight helps supply the tremendous force needed to chop through chicken bones and other heavy-duty tasks. Like the boning knife, if you need this knife, you already have it and know all about it. Otherwise, skip it!

Seizing the Opportunity: Sarah Parker becomes an Opportunity Arts Affiliate.
Sarah "Sunshine" Parker is a visual artist from Lansing, MI. She holds not one, but two degrees in art from Michigan State University, receiving both a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting, and a Bachelor of Arts in the Humanities in 2015. Typically using paint to express, Sarah is most known for her photorealistic moons and watercolor illustrations. Watercolor is her go to medium, and much of her work is illustrative, colorful, and imaginative. Sarah is deeply inspired by nature, science, outer space, fairy tales, and finding beauty in the simple, everyday things. "As a person and as an artist, I am constantly evolving. Creativity ebbs and flows, and to stick to one medium or style can feel limiting." Sarah is left handed, and she has always felt that it contributes to her creativity.
When not creating her own art, Sarah works at the Lansing Art Gallery & Education Center as the Gallery Coordinator, and for Michigan Creative as a Graphic Designer. Sarah has participated in several art fairs, the most notable being ArtFeast in Old Town. She has also done events with the Artist's Umbrella, where she has been a vendor and a speed painter.
Sarah comes from a family of great artists. Her niece is The Ace of Hearts, Autumn Hopkins. Her mom was a very talented artist who specialized in drawing. Her dad is more of an inventor, and he studied architecture, and her sister Maddie is an artist as well. "The art of making runs deep in my family. From a young age, I was encouraged to be myself, and to make all of the art I could possibly make, so that's exactly what I did. Drawing, painting, collage, sculpture; the variety of media available to create things is what had me continuously coming back for more. My love for art led me to pursue it further, and in 2015 I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Michigan State University, along with a Bachelor of Arts in the Arts & Humanities. A few years later I started classes at Lansing Community College, and in 2019 I completed a certificate in Graphic Design. Art will always have a place in my life, whether it's creating personal or professional work. I continue to explore new avenues for my creativity and connecting with my local community of artists. In 2020 a friend and I created a virtual art show, and subsequently an Instagram account called Create & Connect meant to connect artists with opportunities to create, share, and sell their work."

Q: Why is it that I cannot seem to install Minecraft Forge (Version 11.14.1.1334 Minecraft 1.8)? Each time I go to install it, I get the error message "You need to run the version 1.8 manually at least once" of which I have already done. My system runs Windows 8.1 and I have the most up to date version of Minecraft. I was hoping to install the Too Much TNT mod, but it doesn't look very likely to happen at the moment.
I do run the install using Java, and I am sure that my Java is up to date.

A: Your profile is probably set to latest so you are probably using Minecraft version 1.8.2. You need to change your profile to use version 1.8 explicitly and launch it to be able to install forge.

Ett pendelur eller en pendyl är ett ur där en pendel reglerar urets gång. Det första pendeluret konstruerades 1656 av Christiaan Huygens.

Historik och utveckling

Bakgrund
Galileo Galilei anses vara upptäckaren av pendelns isokronism (1583), det vill säga att svängningstiden är oberoende av amplituden. Han hade också insett att den kunde användas som tidmätare, och gjorde även en ofullständig skiss till hur han tänkt sig ett pendelur, men konstruerade dock aldrig någon klocka. I Italien gjordes dock under början av 1600-talet andra skisser på pendelur, och en Italiensk urmakare Camerini kom att konstruera några pendelur före Huygens uppfinning.

Möjligen var dock araberna ännu tidigare med att upptäcka pendelns föregångare.

Huygens' självständiga uppfinning 1656 blev dock den som blev utslagsgivande för pendelurets genombrott som urverkskonstruktion.

Funktion
Pendelurens drivkraft är antingen en spänd fjäder eller en fallande vikt (lodet), som sätter valsen och därigenom hela urverket i rörelse. Eftersom lodet verkar oavbrutet och således förorsakar en i hastighet tilltagande rörelse, måste man använda en hämmande kraft, en regulator, och därtill tjänar pendeln. Denna är förenad med ankaret (alternativ ett gånghake eller en lappspindel), vilket omväxlande ingriper än på den ena, än på den andra sidan i tänderna på det vid valsen fästa steghjulet, så att detta hjul under en dubbel pendelsvängning inte kan vridas mera än 1 tand.

Om pendeln på en sekund gör en svängning fram och en tillbaka samt hjulet har 60 tänder, så vrider det sig ett varv på en minut. En sekundvisare kan således anbringas och en minutvisare fästas vid valsen av ett annat hjul, som är på det sätt förenat att det vrider sig 1 varv, under det att hjulet gör 60 varv. Vikten eller fjädern återger åt pendeln den förlust i rörelseenergi, som friktionens och luftens motstånd förorsakar. Hastigheten i pendelurets gång beror endast på pendelns längd, vilken kan förändras genom att förflytta pendelskivan.

Utveckling och förbättringar
Fjäderuren hade före pendelns genomslag varit mycket otillförlitliga, då deras kraft även med urverksnäcka blev ojämn och hastigheten därför ofta varierade. Pendeln var till en början kort med stor svängningsbåge, ganska snart övergick man till en längre pendel med små svängningar.

Även de loddrivna klockorna fick dock en jämnare gång med pendelns introduktion. Ganska snart visade sig dock spindelgången vara mindre lämplig för loddrivna pendelur och omkring 1675 konstruerade engelsmannen William Clement släphaksgången, där lappspindeln ersattes av en gånghake. George Graham skapade omkring 1710 en förbättrad hakgång, den vilande hakgången där steghjulet endast rör sig i impulsögonblicket, och i övrigt befinner sig i vila.

Kompensationspendlar
Pendelurets hastighet beror av pendelns längd eller mer korrekt pendelns tyngdpunkts avstånd från upphängningspunkten. De flesta material utvidgar sig när den omgivande temperaturen stiger, och då måste man justera pendelns längd för att klockan ska gå rätt. Vid långa sjöfärder kunde detta vara ett problem, eftersom man dels saknade möjlighet att kontrollera temperaturen, dels saknade referens för tidgivningen. Att mäta tiden var nödvändigt för att kunna bestämma longituden. En konstruktion som lyckas kompensera för pendelns värmeutvidgning kallas kompensationspendel.

Den engelske urmakaren George Graham, som tidigare utvecklat den vilande hakgången, konstruerade 1721 en kvicksilverpendel. Dess tyngd utgörs av ett rör fyllt med kvicksilver, liknande en termometer. När temperaturen stiger och pendelstången utvidgas och blir längre, expanderar och stiger kvicksilvret, så att tyngdpunkten förskjuts uppåt. Vid rätt proportioner i konstruktionen, kan en konstant "pendellängd" uppnås.

Den engelske snickaren John Harrison lyckades 1725 konstruera en rostpendel (gridiron pendulum) bestående av två metaller, järn och mässing, vars olika värmeutvidgning kunde fås att ta ut varandra. Oavsett temperatur, höll den alltså konstant längd. Han skickade 1730 in en beskrivning av sin konstruktion, "H1", till Royal Societys tävling och efter en provtur till Lissabon fick han 200 pund för fortsatt arbete. Hans senare kronometrar användes av James Cook. Se vidare longitudproblemet.

Senare har man använt zink i stället för mässing, vilket ytterligare förenklar konstruktionen. Eftersom zink utvidgar sig precis dubbelt så mycket som stål, används två stålstänger och en zinkstång, så att deras värmeutvidgning kompenserar för varandra. För att få symmetri i bygget, används fem stänger. Ordet rost ska förstås i betydelsen galler (gridiron), inte järnoxid.

Ett tredje sätt att kompensera en pendels värmeutvidgning är att använda lameller eller fjädrar av olika metaller (bimetall) för att förflytta tyngden i motsatt riktning mot pendelstångens förlängning.

På 1890-talet upptäcktes legeringen invar vars värmeutvidgning är obetydlig. Därmed upphörde behovet av kompensationspendlar. Under andra halvan av 1900-talet har pendelur ersatts av mer exakta och kompakta elektroniska kvartsur för vardagliga syften och atomur för vetenskapliga syften.
