View Full Version : WCHA First Round: NMU vs. Minnesota State-Mankato
MissThundercat
WCHA playoff action kicks off this week with NMU traveling to Mankato. Hoping the Cats can win, but realistically, I'll say Mavericks in 3.
aparch
Ahh. Back to face the Landcows. Mankato isn't going to roll over, but if the 'Cats can put together two games like they did against them for the Friday night in Marquette, they can advance.
Just remember boys: more #businesstrips. For the next six weekends please.
purpleinnebraska
Sorry we haven't jumped in on this thread yet. Give us a day to mope.
Mavs in 3.
RaceBoarder
So, who's gonna have the hotter goaltender?
Sounds cliche, but that's what this series comes down to, IMO...
MavsFan
I tend to wallow in pessimism after all these years of watching the Mavs, so I make no predictions and talk no smack.
Mavericks sweep. They have to to keep their options open.
MavHockey14
Maverick Sweep. If not, they don't deserve to make the tournament.
WildcatGoal
Mankato is tough at home. Hoping for Cats in three.
That's what I'd like to see. At least make it to Grand Rapids.
potternmu
Mavericks in three, but hopefully, NMU pulls the Bowling Green-type upset of the 2011 and 2012 CCHA first round.
gfmorris
I've got the Mavs to sweep.
GFM
NMUFAN
Unfortunately, I see a Maverick sweep as well.
GAME DAY! Let's Go Cats!
Need to play a full 60, 'Cats. :mad:
Saw the WCHA highlights of the game on YouTube: the disallowed goal didn't look like it should have been disallowed, but maybe that's because the video clip was blurry.
'Cats need to play the rest of the weekend like they did for the last half the game.
davyd83
They made the right call. I had a clear look and it was no doubt no goal. As far as playing like they did the last half, you may want to see if the Mavericks will back off the forechecking like they did in the last half as well.
I saw your tweets from this morning... I really wish Walt would have had the guys just screw around for the skate this morning in front of Mankato's video camera. Nothing would be better than beating their landcow a**es for the crap that went on in the morning skate.
The Mavericks were absolutel gross the last half of the game; the last 40 minutes, really. It was quite obvious they have a more talented, deeper team, but that doesn't matter if you don't say disciplined in your systems and outwork your opponent. They must play a more complete game tonight.
It sounded like NMU had them back on their heels, but we couldn't close the deal.... I know we hit iron in the 3rd and had several chances to tie it...
It's gonna be a grinder tonight... I'm hoping that NMU realizes that their backs are against the wall and they play with some desperation....
Desperate play is not a good thing. It leads one to make mistakes, to force passes or shots through lanes that aren't there. It leads one to try to make too much happen. Disciplined play is what they need. They need to take care of the puck, limit turnovers, especially in the D-Zone and play smart, simple hockey. And yes, they do realize that if they don't win, the season is over.


KABUL: The leader of one of Afghanistan's biggest political parties has accused Iran of destabilizing the country to further its own economic interests.
Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the chief of Hizb-e-Islami (The Islamic Party), who signed a peace agreement with the Afghan government and now lives in Kabul, said: "Iran is the only neighbor of Afghanistan which has invested for 30 years for the continuation of war in our countries.
"Tehran has achieved economic benefits from the war in Afghanistan and has succeeded in gaining access to the Afghan market. Now the Afghan market is in Iran's hands.
Arab News joined Pakistan's delegates at a Pak-Afghan Track-II dialogue in Kabul this week.
The forum, known as "Beyond Boundaries," urged both countries to work toward "ease of business" at international crossing points by rationalizing regulations as well as improving infrastructure and services for traders.
Hekmatyar said Central Asian gas could open trade with the world via Pakistan and Afghanistan, but Iran is trying to block this channel through Afghanistan and wants the Central Asian trade to be carried out via Iran. Tehran wants its gas to go to India through Pakistan and Afghanistan instead of the TAPI (Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India) project.
"TAPI is a big project and it connects Central Asian with the world via Pakistan and Afghanistan, but Iran tries to connect Central Asia via Iran. So Iran wants Pakistan and Afghanistan out of this project. This project has lots of benefits and that is why Iran creates problems and hatches conspiracies," Hekmatyar said.
To a question about the Daesh presence in Afghanistan, he said Daesh is not a major issue but their presence has always been exaggerated.
"Iran is playing the same game in the name of Daesh like it has done in Iraq. Iran has sent nearly 30,000 trained Afghans to Syria for war there. Many have been killed and now Iran wants to bring them back to Afghanistan. Iran has requested the Afghan government to allow them return. Some have already been deployed in northern parts of Afghanistan. Daesh in Afghanistan is Iran's game and not the US and Pakistan," he said.
Hekmatyar said his party will take part in parliamentary elections in October.

Review: Sondra Radvanovsky's Stunning Season Opening "Norma" – San Francisco Opera, September 5, 2014
June 4, 2020 September 6, 2014 by William Burnett
For the first time in the 92-year old history of the San Francisco Opera, Bellini's "Norma" was chosen to launch the company's Fall season. The role of Norma, the Druid priestess whose secret affair with a Roman proconsul has produced two children, is considered a pinnacle of early 19th century bel canto Italian opera.
Illinois soprano Sondra Radvanovsky (whose arresting performances in the varied styles of Donizetti, Verdi and Puccini operas are reported in my reviews hyperlinked below) deserves to be listed with the great Normas of history.
Since "Norma" was never regularly performed at the San Francisco Opera before 1972, I have seen every Norma to sing here since that date. The War Memorial Opera House stage has been witness to the lush vocalism of Joan Sutherland's Norma and the ferocious intensity of the Norma of Shirley Verrett, but in my experience no artist has so effectively mastered both the vocal and dramatic challenges of the role as Radvanovsky.
[Below: Sondra Radvanovsky as Norma; edited image, based on a Cory Weaver photograph, courtesy of the San Francisco Opera.]
A new production was mounted for Radvanovsky, conceived and staged by Kevin Newbury, with sets by David Korins and costumes by Jessica Jahn, a production inspired by current research into the archaeology and mythology of the Druid cultures of Roman-occupied ancient Gaul.
I felt production and staging enhanced the drama inherent in the work. However, since I am scheduled to review two San Francisco Opera performances of this season's "Norma", I will devote more time to the production in the second review.
[Below: Norma (Sondra Radvanovsky, below, right) and Pollione (Marco Berti, below, left) prepare to die together in a ritual fire; edited image, based on a Cory Weaver photograph, courtesy of the San Francisco Opera.]
Norma is the second operatic role for Radvanovsky at the San Francisco Opera. Her debut, as Leonora in Verdi's "Il Trovatore" was also the debut of Conductor Nicola Luisotti in his role as San Francisco Opera Music Director. (He appeared as a guest conductor in the 2005 and 2008 seasons.)
Luisotti conducted brilliantly, showing how completely he has bonded with the excellent San Francisco Opera Orchestra.
Reuniting with Luisotti and Radvanovsky was another veteran of the "Trovatore", Italian tenor Marco Berti, as Norma's secret husband, Pollione.
Looking trim and handling Pollione's musical line with ease, he showed a side of his artistry for which he is often unappreciated – that he can be a convincing actor.
[Below: Tenor Marco Berti as Pollione; edited image, based on a Cory Weaver photograph, courtesy of the San Francisco Opera.]
Adalgisa, the object of Pollione'a betrayal of his commitment to Norma, was sung by American mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton. Replacing a colleague at a late date, she sang beautifully, with a gleaming top and enough strength in the lower register to remind one of a young Marilyn Horne.
Barton also had the ability (a necessity of any Adalgisa) of being able to sing the brilliant coloratura passages in her second act cabaletta in harmony with Norma.
[Below: American mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton as Adalgisa; edited image, based on a Cory Weaver photograph, courtesy of the San Francisco Opera.]
The supporting cast was strong. Christian Van Horn was Oroveso, A. J. Glueckert was Flavio and Jacqueline Piccolino was Clotilde. I suspect that Oliver Kuntz and Miles Sperske, endearing as Norma's and Pollione's two children, would be strong contenders for any award for "best performance by a child in an opera" being considered.
[Below: Oroveso (Christian Van Horn, tallest man, front center); edited image, based on a Cory Weaver photograph, courtesy of the San Francisco Opera.]
In a welcome departure from tradition, each of the choristers were clothed in costumes (and face and body markings) that suggested they were individual warriors rather than a single choral mass.
I strongly recommend this production for the performance of Sondra Radvanovsky (itself worth the ticket price), and the strength of her supporting cast, of Nicola Luisotti's conducting and the excellence of the San Francisco Opera Orchestra and Chorus.

Public Benefits of Playing the Lottery Online
Several states in the United States use lotteries to raise money for public projects and programs. The proceeds from lottery ticket sales usually go to colleges, public schools, or other public programs. In some cases, the funds are also used to pay for college and university buildings, libraries, or other public institutions.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, several colonies in the US had lotteries to raise money for fortifications and other public works. In some cases, the government endorsed or even regulated lotteries. In others, the lottery was banned or outlawed. The first known European lottery took place during the Roman Empire. A record from L'Ecluse, France, dated 9 May 1445, mentions a lotterie that raised funds for fortifications.
In the United States, the first modern government-run lottery was established in 1964 by New Hampshire. The California State Lottery was also founded in 1984. All of the states in the United States participate in the MegaMillions, which is the biggest national lottery in the country. Many of the jackpots in the game are progressive, which means the prize amount continues to increase after every draw. It is also possible to win multiple prizes with the same numbers.
In some cases, a fixed prize is awarded. This can be cash, goods, or a percentage of receipts. Organizers of the lottery are taking a risk when awarding a fixed prize. However, the smaller prizes are still significant. For example, the Academy Lottery in Philadelphia financed the University of Pennsylvania in 1755. The Virginia Company of London supported settlement in America at Jamestown, and several private lotteries were held to raise money for the Virginia Company of London.
A few states are currently authorized to sell online lottery tickets. Some sites offer instant win scratch cards. Other sites allow players to enter multi-state draws from home. Some of the best sites can be found on Android and iOS devices. These websites have secure ticket purchase and payment options, and allow you to compare odds. They also have user-friendly interfaces for easy access to lotteries.
Using the power of the Internet, some states are considering expanding their lottery's reach to include online sales. These sites require Wi-Fi or data access. Most lotteries require a lottery vendor to be licensed and approved to operate. The laws regulating lotteries vary from state to state, but most common laws restrict sales to minors.
There are many different types of lottery games. Some of the most popular are the Daily Lottery and the Mega Millions. Daily lotteries allow players to choose four numbers from a pool of numbers, and a jackpot can be as small as $175,000 or as large as $200,000. In the Mega Millions, a ticket must match five numbers out of 70 to win the jackpot. Often, a player will win one or two million dollars in the Mega Millions.
In addition to the jackpots, most lotteries have fixed prizes, as well. These can be cash or goods, and the winner must select a specific order. Sometimes the prize is a percentage of receipts, as with the "50-50" draw.

This coming Saturday, Shafilea Ahmed would turn 32. If her aspirations at school were anything to go by, she would now be enjoying life as an established barrister. However, Shafilea never made it this far; in fact, she never made it past 17. In 2003, she was brutally murdered by her parents at home in Warrington, Cheshire. Concerned that Shafilea was becoming too 'westernised' and bringing shame on the family, her mother and father suffocated her in front of her four younger siblings by forcing a plastic bag down her throat.
Although harrowing, and likely unbelievable to some, Shafilea's case is far from unique. Every year, thousands of individuals across the world are victims of so-called 'honour killings' – murdered, by the very people who claim to love them, because they are believed to have brought their family or community into disrepute. You'll often see the figure of 5,000 'honour killings' globally per year bandied about, which includes 12 in the UK, but the truth is we don't know how extensive the problem is. These statistics are of questionable empirical origin, and they don't account for murders which go unreported, or which are disguised as accidents or suicides.
Shafilea's story, like those of countless other victims of 'honour killing' is one of a life curtailed way before its time. Tragic though this is, there are those committed to ensuring that Shafilea's memory does not get forgotten. Shafilea was the inspiration behind the Day of Memory for victims of HBV, which was established in 2015 through a collaborative campaign between UK-based HBV charity Karma Nirvana and Cosmopolitan magazine. It is celebrated every year on 14 July – Shafilea's birthday.
The campaign for the Day of Memory – entitled 'Britain's Lost Women' – was brave and unambiguous in its message. Limited-edition covers of Cosmopolitan magazine depicting a young woman suffocating behind the magazine's outer plastic wrap were produced and handed out in Parliament. Although this was probably very difficult to look at, there can be little doubt that the controversial cover was successful in conveying the heinous nature of these acts.
The Day of Memory has proven an invaluable tool in the continued endeavour to rupture the silence that has long-surrounded HBV and 'honour killings'. Since its inception four years ago, it has encouraged individuals and organisations to take part in conversations about this form of abuse, whether this is through hosting national conferences or something smaller, like releasing balloons in memory of the victims. This year, there are a series of awareness-raising activities going on throughout this week – you can keep up with the latest news via Twitter using the hashtags #weremember and #stirringuptheconversation.
Open dialogue is the greatest ally in combating HBV and 'honour killings', and the Day of Memory ensures that this prevails. Whatever you are doing this Saturday, please take a moment to remember Shafilea and all the others whose lives have been cut short because of a misinterpreted notion of honour.

Yesterday I posted a song, "Help Me Find It", that is a prayer on finding God's will for one's life, or perhaps for a stage in life. Sometimes, though, we don't find it right away. Sometimes we feel we're walking in dark, aimless or at the very least directionally-impaired.
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue.
Do not now seek the answer, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them.
Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.


A microsupercapacitor that may find its way into personal and even wearable electronics is getting an upgrade. Adding boron greatly benefits the laser-induced graphene device.
The Rice University lab of chemist James Tour uses commercial lasers to create thin, flexible supercapacitors by burning patterns into common polymers. The laser burns away everything but the carbon to a depth of 20 microns on the top layer, which becomes a foam-like matrix of interconnected graphene flakes.
The simple manufacturing process may also be suitable for making catalysts, field emission transistors, and components for solar cells and lithium-ion batteries, they say.
The research appears in the journal ACS Nano.
Capacitors charge quickly and release their energy in a burst when needed, as in a camera flash. Supercapacitors add the high-energy capacity of batteries to the package and have potential for electric vehicles and other heavy-duty applications.
The potential to shrink them into a small, flexible, easily produced package could make them suitable for many more applications, according to the researchers.
In the earlier work, the team led by graduate student Zhiwei Peng tried many polymers and discovered a commercial polyimide was the best for the process. For the new work, the lab dissolved boric acid into polyamic acid and condensed it into a boron-infused polyimide sheet, which they then exposed to the laser.
The two-step process produces microsupercapacitors with four times the ability to store an electrical charge and 5 to 10 times the energy density of the earlier, boron-free version.
The new devices proved highly stable over 12,000 charge-discharge cycles, retaining 90 percent of their capacitance. In stress tests, they handled 8,000 bending cycles with no loss of performance, the researchers report.
Tour says the technique lends itself to industrial-scale, roll-to-roll production of microsupercapacitors. "What we've done shows that huge modulations and enhancements can be made by adding other elements and performing other chemistries within the polymer film prior to exposure to the laser," he says.
Coauthors of the paper are from Rice, Exxon Chemical, University of Missouri, and the Second Baptist School in Houston.
Tour is the chair in chemistry as well as a professor of materials science and nanoengineering and of computer science and a member of Rice's Richard E. Smalley Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology.

Шлезвиг-Гольштейн-Зондербург () — титулярное герцогство, подвластное датской короне в 1564—1668 годах. Часть его находилась на территории Дании (в герцогстве Шлезвиг — в основном на островах Альс и Эрё, а также вокруг Глюксбурга), а часть входила в состав Священной Римской империи (в герцогстве Гольштейн — амты Плён, Аренсбёк и Райнфельд).

История
В 1544 году датский король Кристиан III разделил территорию герцогств Шлезвиг и Гольштейн на часть, принадлежащую королю Дании и две части, которые были переданы его младшим единокровным братьям в обмен на отречение от прав на королевский трон. Когда в 1580 году скончался, не имея наследника, Ганс Шлезвиг-Гольштейн-Хадерслевский, и его герцогство было разделено между герцогом Адольфом и королём Фредериком II, то Фредерик II передал полученную часть герцогства своему младшему брату Гансу II. Столицей нового герцогства стал Зондербург (современный датский Сённерборг), и потому новую герцогскую линию стали называть Шлезвиг-Гольштейн-Зондербург. После смерти Ганса II его герцогство было разделено между сыновьями, и так образовались вторичные генеалогические линии. Далее эти линии продолжали дробиться, а иногда сливались между собой. Необходимо подчеркнуть, что это были не государственные образования, а лишь титулярные владения, некоторые из них имели площадь всего несколько квадратных километров.

Генеалогические линии
Основная линия дома Шлезвиг-Гольштейн-Зондербург шла через герцога Александра, третьего сына Ганса II, который жил в замке Зондербург. После банкротства 1667 года Зондербургская часть герцогства отошла датской короне. От этой линии отошли следующие:
 Шлезвиг-Гольштейн-Зондербург-Францхаген (центр — замок Францхаген в Шулендорфе), от герцога Ганса Кристиана
 Так называемая католическая линия Шлезвиг-Гольштейн-Зондербург, от герцога Александра Гейнриха
 Шлезвиг-Гольштейн-Зондербург-Визенбург (центр — замок Визенбург в Вильденфельсе, Саксония), от герцога Филиппа Людвига
 Шлезвиг-Гольштейн-Зондербург-Августенбург (центр — замок Августенборг), от герцога Эрнста Гюнтера. Эта линия пресеклась в 1931 году. Самым известным представителем линии была германская императрица Августа Виктория.
 Шлезвиг-Гольштейн-Зондербург-Бек, от герцога Августа Филиппа:
 Александр I (1573-1622-1627) Шлезвиг-Гольштейн-Зондербург
 Август Филипп I (11.XI.1612-1627-31.X.1675) Шлезвиг-Гольштейн-Зондербург-Бек

Edo Saiya (bürgerlich Timo Bethke) ist ein deutscher Rapper aus Köln.

Leben und Karriere

Edo Saiya wurde unter dem bürgerlichen Namen Timo Bethke in Köln geboren. Musikalisch beeinflussten ihn vor allem US-amerikanischer Rap und Emo-Post-Rock sowie teilweise auch Soul und Jazz. Zunächst spielte er in Rockbands, bevor er unter dem Namen Square öffentlich als Battle-Rapper auftrat: "Irgendwann war ich an dem Punkt, dass ich dachte: Ich will nicht nur rappen, um zu rappen, sondern ich will etwas sagen. Ich habe einen höheren Anspruch an mich selbst." Er entlehnte das Pseudonym Edo Saiya aus dem Japanischen und orientierte sich an aktuellen Einflüssen des Cloud Rap.

Ab Anfang 2018 veröffentlichte Edo Saiya regelmäßig Singles und Tapes. Nachdem seine Debüt-EP Somnia im April im Selbstvertrieb erschienen war, folgte einige Wochen später seine erste Single Besser. Im Folgenden übernahm recordJet die Veröffentlichungen des Rappers. Bereits im Sommer 2018 erschien über die Plattform das Album Azur, auf dem Negatiiv OG, Kid Cairo und Felikz als Gäste vertreten sind. Mit Letztgenanntem folgte Anfang Oktober die Kollabo-EP Flight of Fancy. Mit dem Album Broken Displays Broken Promises, das mit prominenterer Unterstützung von Sierra Kidd und Yin Kalle aufwartet, schloss Saiya das Jahr ab.

2019 veröffentlichte der Rapper zunächst die EPs Akt01 und The Cold Hit Hard. Im Mai folgte das Album This Was Home, für das gemeinsame Songs mit Felikz, BLAMEPEAK, Young Richie Rich, Negatiiv OG und Jalle entstanden waren. Im August übernahm Jan Rode, der frühere Gründer von TubeOne Networks, mit seinem Unternehmen Kein Plan das Management von Edo Saiya. Einen Monat später erschien Distant. Gemeinsam mit Lil Lano nahm er die Single Sag Wieso auf, die das Label AnanasSquad im Januar 2020 veröffentlichte. Mit Platz 51 konnte sich erstmals eine Veröffentlichung Edo Saiyas in den Charts positionieren. Seine unter dem Titel Brille Kaputt Tour geplante Solo-Tournee im Mai fiel ebenso der COVID-19-Pandemie zum Opfer wie sein Auftritt im Rahmen des Splash!-Festivals. Mit The Entire History of You, Lunar und x6 stiegen drei Soloalben des Rappers in den kommenden Monaten in die Top 5 der deutschen Albumcharts ein. Im Frühjahr 2022 veröffentlichte er das Album Polar, das die Spitzenposition in den deutschen Albumcharts erreichte.

Rezeption
Das Online-Magazin Diffus befasste sich im Frühjahr 2019 mit dem Musiker. Edo Saiya reflektiere in seinen Songs "seinen Lifestyle zwischen durchgemachten Nächten, Drogenkonsum und der ehrlichen Reflexion der eigenen Persönlichkeit", womit er zu den "vielversprechendsten deutschsprachigen Künstlern" zähle. Musikalisch bediene er sich "progressiven Sounds voller treibender Drums oder drückender 808-Bässe". Diesen Klang mische er "mit Genregrenzen sprengenden Elementen aus Rock, Indie, RnB und Alternative." Während das Magazin The Cold Hit Hard als "düsteres Werk" charakterisiert, klinge This Was Home "insgesamt heiterer, fast schon sommerlich".

Laut Jakob Wihgrab treffen bei Edo Saiya "zeitgemäße 808-Beats auf Emo-Attitude". In seinem Beitrag für Puls, dem Jugendkanal des Bayerischen Rundfunks, bemängelte er zwar das "Drogengepose", doch lobt zugleich wie der Rapper sein "Seelenleben" reflektiere: "Da gibt es die Highs, die Partys, die Drogen, aber eben auch die Lows, die das mit sich bringt: Selbstzweifel, Liebeskummer und depressive Phasen." Exemplarisch bringe etwa der Song Kids das "Wasted-Youth-Gefühl zwischen Exzess und Erfolgsdruck, Dauerhigh und Depristimmung" auf den Punkt. Während sich Saiya auf Rapper wie Waka Flocka Flame bezieht, sieht Wihgrab Parallelen zu Lil Xan und Lil Peep. Der Einfluss aus US-Trap und Cloud-Rap sei "unüberhörbar".

There was a period of time in my early 20, when I and my girlfriends started our first career and earned income on our own, we loved to spend the money for the nice shoes and bags. Often we showed off what each of us got and we felt fulfilling by talking about how well we spent money to buy those stuffs. With a mixed feeling of being envious and jealous of, we had competed each other over shopping. Not only the materials we owned, we even had compared each other by the salary level, job and boyfriends. Yes, that is what we call 'Materialism' and I admit I had gone through it, rather heavily.
In every aspect of lives, we compare ourselves to other people and some of us put the benchmark of their own lives to what someone else has and build the envious feeling within us. Even sometimes, the enviousness turns into the jealousy. The jealousy causes hatred, it is a worm in our mind that kills your pure motivation to achieve your own life.
I have seen some of my girlfriends competing over friendships, compare each other who has more friends than the other, there's even no need to mention the people checking how much asset others have.
Unfortunately we are living in the society where the quality of life is measured by the materials and it is difficult to separate ourselves from what is considered as norm in our world. But we should always remember we should live our own lives, not someone else's and you don't have to jealous over other people.
Asteya in yoga philosophy teaches us not to steal someone else's either tangible and intangible things. The desire to steal something comes from the jealousy or enviousness.
Many times, we forget how enough we have already. Think about the job you have, the meal you just ate today, a clothing you are wearing. You may not be very satisfied with them and wish you have a better one, but there might be someone else who desperately need them outside. You are already blessed to have them enough, you don't need to chase after someone else's life, your life is already filled with bless and happiness. All just comes from your mind. Or you might find bigger satisfaction with your life by giving what you have to other people. It will make you realize how much you have already.
Live your life, not someone else's, try to see deep in your life and find out what you have, what you can share. Do not let yourself to lose the control of your life, you own your life.

DOCTYPE decides how to render an html web document.
There are two modes for an HTML document, quirks mode and strict mode. Strict mode renders the webpage content according to the W3C recommendations. Quirks mode is the way in which old web browsers used to render the web page. If DOCTYPE tag is not defined properly then your web page will be rendered in quirks mode and will give ambiguous page layout of your webpage for different web browsers.
So always keep a habit of defining DOCTYPE tag in your html document.
html tag is the next tag after doctype and tells the web browsers that its an html document. It is a root element that contains other tags.
meta tag - contains information about data.
title tag is used inside head tag. It is used to define the title of a webpage that is displayed on the titlebar of a web browser.
body tag is used to define the main content of a web page. It includes different elements like paragraph, hyperlinks and other contents.
This is my first web page. Edit this line.
Save the file and name it core.html or core.htm. Name it anything you want, just make sure that you end the file name with .html or .htm extension.
Now open the file in a browser to view your first web-page.
Finally open the file using notepad again and play with the code. Change title or body content and view the result.

IVF linked to slightly higher risk of maternal complications: study
By Sheryl Ubelacker, The National Post | 02. 04. 2019
https://nationalpost.com/pmn/health-pmn/ivf-linked-to-slightly-higher-risk-of-m…
TORONTO — Women who become pregnant using fertility treatments — particularly in-vitro fertilization — have a slightly higher risk of severe complications around the time of delivery compared to women who conceive naturally, research suggests.
Those complications include post-partum bleeding that may require a blood transfusion, admission to an intensive care unit, infection of the reproductive system, and — in extremely rare cases — death.
In a study published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, a team of researchers compared the rate of severe complications in women who became pregnant with a reproductive technology versus those who did not need help to conceive.
"We found that 30.8 per 1,000 of the women in our study who received an infertility treatment experienced a severe pregnancy complication," said lead researcher Dr. Natalie Dayan, director of obstetric medicine at McGill University Health Centre.
"When compared with a group of women of approximately the same age and with similar characteristics who gave birth without the use of infertility treatment, 22.2 per 1,000 experienced a severe pregnancy complication.
"But it's important to remember that... see more

Margaret Aull
Title: Mata nui
Series: Concealed Ancestors
Medium: Acrylic, Gold Leaf, Ochre and Paper on Board
Dimensions: 800x800mm [circular]
My work is an investigation of the notion of Tapu / Tabu, a cultural construct embedded in most indigenous frameworks. For both Māori and Fijians, objects and personal items were often created as visual representations of ancestors and gods often imbued with mana and fear, a spiritual governing law / lore that could transform the mundane into veneration. Imagery and meaning could be transferred or transported through its reproduced format.
I am interested in the type of reverence applied to such objects, and the relationships that existed with their owners and communities during their "life" time. In Museum collections, the value and context of the objects have shifted and changed over time. Its 'life force' subdued and dormant as if defunct from the life and intent it emerged from.
The images I have referenced and adopted, as visual representations, aim to reclaim and re-activate meaning as personal cultural signifiers. Traditional ochre/oil for masi (Fijian bark cloth) is a way of locating my identity, bringing forth whenua / vanua (land) within my work. The traditional nature of the pigment challenges the way I work; its natural form resisting synthetic composites destabilizing surfaces… a response perhaps to my blurred genetic code as Māori, Fijian and other.
Concealed Ancestors becomes a way to test boundaries and explore tensions between what is culturally prohibited and what is respectable. These ancestors are concealed within museums, within display cabinets, representatives of a people or a provenance. I am interested in the value of such objects, the cultural negotiations / obligations of collectors and the space between the physical and spiritual.
Margaret Aull (Te Rarawa, Tūwharetoa, Fiji) completed undergraduate studies at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and Waikato Institute of Technology where she completed a Bachelor of Media Arts winning the Waikato Museum ArtsPost Award for excellence in Academic Record in 2006.
Aull has exhibited extensively in New Zealand since 2005 with a solo exhibition entitled Na Kena Yali (Loss) at the Chartwell Gallery, Hamilton in 2008 and Concealed Ancestors at Papakura Art Gallery, Auckland in 2013. She is currently studying to complete a Master of Fine Arts degree at Whitecliffe College of Arts & Design and is employed as the Art Collection Curator for Te Wananga o Aotearoa in Te Awamutu.
Aull's work reflects the tensions of culture and identity between her Fijian and Māori ancestry. Her work is the ongoing effort to find equilibrium between the two cultural powerhouses by investigating the relationships of whakapapa, faith and politics. She is a noted painter but currently expanding her practice into sculpture and installation. Aull has works in private and public collections including Auckland Council, The Barry Hopkins Art Collection, Fiji Museum, Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and Open Wānanga Collections, Waikato Institute of Technology and Waikato Museum of Art and History.

Types of Gating System In Casting Process
In the metal foundry like dawangcasting, a gating system is a system that lets metal flow down from the pouring basin into the sprue and gates. The metal flows through these gates before it goes into the mold cavity.
Functions of gating system in sand casting
The gating system in casting helps make the metal go faster and smoother. It also controls the temperature so that shrinkage will happen in the gating system instead of in the castings as it cools. The gating system also removes any unwanted metals from the metal before it is poured into a mold.
The gating system in sand casting includes:
Pouring basin
The Pouring basin is the funnel-shaped inlet on top of the system. It helps regulate how fast metal moves, and it reduces turbulence at the entrance to the sprue. It also mixes all of the sediment and slag together before entering into the sprue.
Sprue is the gating system.
A sprue is a passage that is in between two gates. The liquid metal goes down the passage, loses pressure, and gains speed due to gravity. The sprue can be a circle, a square, or a rectangle. It should taper down so that the air does not get in it. The bigger end is for metal pick up, and the smaller one connects to the runner. The foot of the sprue is rotated at a right angle to the runner so that liquid metal cannot fall out.
Cross gate or runner
In a casting, the runner is a horizontal channel that takes the metal from the sprues to where it will fill the mold. This will reduce how fast the metal falls into slower speed. When you make a runner, the molten metal must fill it. This will keep slag from going into the cavity and ensure a steady flow.
Ingate (or gate)
Ingates are where the liquid metal goes. Depending on the casting, there might be one or more ingates. It leads to the liquid metal and mold cavity. There are two types of gates, big and small. The small gate is for slowing down the solid casting. The big gate is for fastening solid casting. The gate should not have sharp edges. It can crack during the pouring process. This will allow sand to get into the molten metal, and it can be caught in the mold's cavity.
Types Of Gating Systems:
There are two different types of gating systems in the casting process: pressurized and unpressurized. The type of system you choose will depend on the casting quality you want.
1. Pressurized Gating System
The Pressurized gating system is a type of metal gate. It has a decreasing cross-sectional surface area, so it forces the liquid metal to go only to the mold cavity, which would be smaller than the narrowest downspruer-runner area. When at gates, the flow rate of liquid metal is almost equal. Sprue is always full of metal, which creates backpressure. This reduced air aspiration. Metal that is always running fast will become more chaotic. This makes it easy to create eddy currents in the gates. This system gives special priority to injection molding with cast iron materials.
2. Un-Pressurized Gating System
The Un-Pressurized Gating System is a gating system. The total surface area of the doors is larger than the narrowest down sprue area. This means that liquid metal flows differently at gates.

John Brown is a guy of many legacies, from hero, freedom fighter, and martyr, to liar, enthusiast, and "the father of yankee terrorism." a few have acknowledged that it used to be his seizure of the arsenal at Harper's Ferry that rendered the Civil battle inevitable.
Deeply non secular, Brown believed that God had selected him to correct the inaccurate of slavery. He used to be prepared to kill and die for whatever smooth american citizens unanimously agree used to be a simply reason. And but he used to be a non secular enthusiast and a staunch believer in "righteous violence," an unapologetic committer of household terrorism.

George Herman Ruth Jr was once born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1895. A rebellious baby, he used to be finally despatched to a penitentiary boarding tuition the place he by no means relatively discovered the self-discipline his mom and dad was hoping for, yet he did examine anything that modified his existence: baseball. This publication chronicles Ruth's lifestyles.
American army Leaders comprises over four hundred A-Z biographies of people akin to Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, who ended 1000s of years of culture through permitting ladies to serve on military ships; and, Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, whose principles of clandestine conflict are nonetheless through the U. S. detailed Forces.
Ernest Hemingway was once essentially the most debatable and sought after writers of his time. This biography covers his lifestyles from his formative years in Oak Park, Illinois, to his suicide in 1961. It bargains a sympathetic portrait of an excellent artist and a fancy individual—a inner most guy who led a really public existence.
But before finishing, Brown stopped. Suddenly he took off his shirt, handing his son the persuader. "Lay it on," he demanded. The boy hesitated. His father insisted. John Jr. obeyed. " Brown cried as the blows fell. " Blood oozed from the welts on his back. That settled the account. Only later did John Jr. realize that his father shared the punishment because he partly blamed himself for his son's behavior. "35 Nevertheless, the children loved their father. While not always understanding the reasons for his actions, deep down they felt he loved them.
Declaring him bankrupt, the court persisted in its order to have his property sold at auction. However, it allowed the family to keep a few "articles and necessaries" such as pots, pans, dishes, and clothing. 45 Brown tried various ways to earn money. He surveyed land, traded horses, and herded sheep. In time, he became a sheep and wool expert, winning awards for excellence. That impressed Simon Perkins, a wealthy businessman in Akron, Ohio. In 1844, Perkins invited Brown to become his partner.
If they thought the journey had been hard, they found making a home an ordeal. Everyone had to work. Because the children were small, they did small things: carrying firewood, gathering berries, pitching in with the chores. Like other frontier women, their mother prepared the meals, made soap and candles from animal fat, spun flax and wool into cloth, and made the family's clothing. In her spare time, Ruth tended the vegetable garden. John Brown's father, Owen Brown. (date unknown) As the only adult male, Owen did the heavy work.


Do you want to know my secret recipe for the easiest, fastest, high-protein lunch ever? Greek yogurt egg salad to the rescue! I can't tell you how often this dish saves me when we have nothing for lunches and are trying to avoid eating out or save money. It requires less than 6 ingredients, usually all of which I have on hand. Even better, it takes less than 5 minutes to make if you already have hard-boiled eggs prepared. If you don't, it still won't take more than 20 minutes tops. It is also extremely versatile in that you can add in crunch, take away ingredients, or change spices to your liking and the integrity of the dish remains intact. To be honest, it's not even much of a "recipe" in that I usually just eyeball how much of each ingredient I use, tasting along the way until I've got the right ratio down. It is for sure what I consider a "back-pocket" meal though; i.e. one of those meals that you can practically make in your sleep, is tasty, and fits the bill for nutrition too.
The secret ingredient here is replacing your typical mayo in egg salad for Greek yogurt instead. It seriously amps up the protein content, and I swear that you cannot tell a difference in taste. It is simple, delicious, satisfying, and a go-to staple that you should add to your repertoire in the kitchen ASAP.
Chop or slice your hard boiled eggs into a bowl.
Add Greek yogurt, mustard, and dill.
Mix together until all of the egg is coated in the dressing, but not so much that the eggs get smashed.
Enjoy on toast, over a bed of greens, or by itself. Optional add-in ideas include: diced carrots, celery, radish, or other crunchy vegetable; chopped pickle or relish; diced tomatoes; red pepper flake or paprika.

The Martyr: Book Two of the Covenant of Steel (Hardback)
Anthony Ryan (author)
The gripping sequel to the bestselling The Pariah finds outlaw-turned-spymaster Alwyn facing down a deadly rebellion that could threaten the very existence of the Kingdom of Albermaine.
Times have changed for Alwyn Scribe. Once an outlaw, he's now a spymaster and sworn protector of Lady Evadine Courlain, whose visions of a demonic apocalypse have earned her the fanatical devotion of the faithful.
Yet Evadine's growing fame has put her at odds with both Crown and Covenant. As trouble brews in the kingdom, both seek to exploit her position for their own ends.
Sent to the Duchy of Alundia to put down a rebellion, Alwyn must rely on old instincts to fight for his new cause. Deadly feuds and ancient secrets are laid bare as war erupts, a war that will decide the fate of the Kingdom of Albermaine and, perhaps, prevent the coming of the prophesied Second Scourge.
The Martyr is the sequel to The Pariah and continues the ruthless and gripping fantasy epic from New York Times bestseller Anthony Ryan, whose books have sold more than a million copies worldwide.

After sinking my teeth into the June 3rd Halo 4 weapon tuning update for the past couple days, I finally put my controller down for a second to give my impressions thus far. While you can read the full list of changes here, let's elaborate a bit on how all the changes affect the game itself.
An immediate change you will notice is the prevalence of automatics in Halo 4 matchmaking. Unless there was a daily challenge associated with them, weeks could pass before an automatic weapon made an appearance previous to this update. Players seem more apt to bring it to battle thanks to the tweaks. The damage buff to both the Storm Rifle and Assault Rifle may seem subtle, but it definitely improves your chances of finishing a kill. Since the magnetism of the auto-aim has been reduced on automatic weapons, getting kills at anything beyond close range can prove to be difficult unless there's an assist from teammates. That being said, should you get first shot within a fairly close distance, your success of getting the kill in a head-to-head battle is almost guaranteed now. No more getting outgunned by a DMR in close range.
The rebalancing to scoped weapons is a bit more complex. In my testing, I've found the Carbine to be the best at close range, the DMR and BR at mid-range, and the Light Rifle at long range. If you're the type of player who likes to sprint in for a melee and finish with a headshot, then the Carbine is definitely your weapon. Once the shield is popped from a melee, all it takes is one shot to the head for the kill. The Carbine has the highest rate of fire and minimal bullet spread which makes finishing an enemy a breeze, even if you miss your first couple of shots. At longer distances the Carbine may not hold up as well as some of the other weapons, but the increased damage still makes the Carbine a formidable choice.
The BR's rate of fire has been reduced, but I feel it still fires faster than it's Halo 2 & 3 predecessors. Although it is now possible to pull off a 4-shot kill, the slightly reduced magnetism and rate of fire takes some getting used to before you're capable of doing it regularly.
Reduced auto-aim magnetism and range make the DMR feel almost entirely unfamiliar. The tweaks are subtle, but I felt like I needed to adjust how I was leading enemies with my reticule at all ranges (the increased movement speed might be a factor here as well). The main benefit of using the DMR before was the absence of bullet spread combined with the long auto-aim range. Since the range has been reduced to be more in line with other scoped primaries, I can easily say the DMR is now my least used weapon of all the primaries (automatics included).
While I haven't been a big fan of the pro variants in matchmaking, the weapon tuning has made these gametypes more appealing. Without armor abilities, I felt that pro variants were fairly dull and boring with players generally only using DMRs or BRs. Thanks to the tweaks, there's a lot more weapon variety from match to match. The AR can prove to be quite the useful wild card. From my experience, a close range AR combined with a scoped weapon kills faster than two scoped weapons focused on one enemy. Since pro variants don't have radar, getting into close range undetected with the AR is a lot easier than you might think.
Sprinting can still be used as a crutch for those who make too many aggressive advances, but those who know the map layouts as well as the new strengths and weaknesses of weapons will have the most success. The DMR is no longer the de facto weapon for every match, so you'll definitely want to re-examine which weapons are suited best for each map.
Overall, the weapon tuning update is a big step in the right direction. Instead of worrying about running into a player using a DMR, players can focus on deploying the best strategy for their weapon of choice. While the reduction of auto-aim range and magnetism may be a put off for less experienced players, the bevy of tweaks will definitely provide a more strategic and enjoyable experience for the rest of the player population.
Have you tried out the weapon balancing update? What do you think of the changes? Do you still have the same favorite weapon or has it changed since the update? Let us know in the comments below.

Addition reactions reversibility
As with other reversible nucleophilic addition reactions the equilibria for aldol additions are less favorable for ketones than for aldehydes For example only 2% of the aldol addition product of acetone is present at equilibrium... [Pg.773]
Michael condensations are catalyzed by alkaU alkoxides, tertiary amines, and quaternary bases and salts. Active methylene compounds and aUphatic nitro compounds add to form P-substituted propionates. These addition reactions are frequendy reversible at high temperatures. Exceptions are the tertiary nitro adducts which are converted to olefins at elevated temperatures (24). [Pg.151]
Iodine adds to carbon—carbon double bonds to form polyiodine derivatives. These addition reactions are reversible, however, and do not go to completion. [Pg.361]
The stmcture of individual block polymers is deterrnined by the nature of the initiator (1,2-propanediol above), the sequence of addition of propylene and ethylene oxides, and the percentage of propylene and ethylene oxides in the surfactant. Thus, when the order of addition is reversed, a different stmcture is obtained in which the hydrophobic moieties are on the outside of the molecule. With ethylene glycol as the initiator, the reactions are as foUows ... [Pg.254]
When the addition and elimination reactions are mechanically reversible, they proceed by identical mechanistic paths but in opposite directions. In these circumstances, mechanistic conclusions about the addition reaction are applicable to the elimination reaction and vice versa. The principle of microscopic reversibility states that the mechanism (pathway) traversed in a reversible reaction is the same in the reverse as in the forward direction. Thus, if an addition-elimination system proceeds by a reversible mechanism, the intermediates and transition states involved in the addition process are the same as... [Pg.351]
Aldehydes and ketones undergo reversible addition reactions with alcohols. The product of addition of one mole of alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone is referred to as a hemiacetal or hemiketal, respectively. Dehydration followed by addition of a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal or ketal. This second phase of the process can be catalyzed only by acids, since a necessary step is elimination of hydroxide (as water) from the tetrahedral intermediate. There is no low-energy mechanism for base assistance of this... [Pg.451]
Ring-chain tautomerism via intramolecular reversible addition reactions to the C=0 group 95AHC(64)251. [Pg.205]
The hydration reaction just described is typical of what happens when an aldehyde ot ketone is treated with a nucleophile of the type H-Y, where the Y atom is electronegative and can stabilize a negative charge (oxygen, halogen, or sulfur, for instance). In such reactions, the nucleophilic addition is reversible, with the equilibrium generally favoring the carbonyl reactant rather than the tetrahedral addition product. In other words, treatment of an aldehyde or... [Pg.706]
Aldehydes and unhindered ketones undergo a nucleophilic addition reaction with HCN to yield cyanohydrins, RCH(OH)C=N. Studies carried out in the early 1900s by Arthur Eapworth showed that cyanohydrin formation is reversible and base-catalyzed. Reaction occurs slowly when pure HCN is used but rapidly when a small amount of base is added to generate the nucleophilic cyanide ion, CN. Alternatively, a small amount of KCN can be added to HCN to catalyze the reaction. Addition of CN- takes place by a typical nucleophilic addition pathway, yielding a tetrahedral intermediate that is protonated by HCN to give cyanohydrin product plus regenerated CN-. [Pg.707]
Glycolysis is a ten-step process that begins with isomerization of glucose from its cyclic hemiacetal form to its open-chain aldehyde form—a reverse nucleophilic addition reaction. The aldehyde then undergoes tautomerixa-tion to yield an enol, which undergoes yet another tautomerization to give the ketone fructose. [Pg.903]
We said in Section 19.10 that aldehydes and ketones undergo a rapid and reversible nucleophilic addition reaction with alcohols to form hemiacetals. [Pg.984]
Just as the Kiliani-Fischer synthesis lengthens an aldose chain by one carbon, the Wohl degradation shortens an aldose chain by one carbon. The Wohl degradation is almost the exact opposite of the Kiliani-Fischer sequence. That is, the aldose aldehyde carbonyl group is first converted into a nitrile, and the resulting cyanohydrin loses HCN under basic conditions—the reverse of a nucleophilic addition reaction. [Pg.995]
An elimination reaction is, in a sense, the reverse of an addition reaction. It involves the elimination of two groups from adjacent carbon atoms, converting a saturated molecule into one that is unsaturated. An example is the dehydration of ethanol, which occurs when it is heated with sulfuric acid ... [Pg.602]
This is, of course, the reverse of the addition reaction by which ethanol is farmed. [Pg.602]
The intramolecular Michael addition11 of a nucleophilic oxygen to an a,/ -unsaturated ester constitutes an attractive alternative strategy for the synthesis of the pyran nucleus, a strategy that could conceivably be applied to the brevetoxin problem (see Scheme 2). For example, treatment of hydroxy a,/ -unsaturated ester 9 with sodium hydride furnishes an alkoxide ion that induces ring formation by attacking the electrophilic //-carbon of the unsaturated ester moiety. This base-induced intramolecular Michael addition reaction is a reversible process, and it ultimately affords the thermodynamically most stable product 10 (92% yield). [Pg.734]
As observed with cyclohexanones, the diastereoselectivity of the addition reaction of trimeth-ylaluminum to 2-methylcyclopentanone depends on the stoichiometry of the reactants. Thus, addition of one equivalent of trimcthylaluminum proceeds via preferential tram attack whereas, due to the "compression effect , addition of an excess of the reagent leads to the formation of the equatorial alcohol via predominant attack from the cis side (Table 3)6. In contrast to the addition reactions with trimethylaluniinum, no reversal of the diastereoselectivity upon change of reagent stoichiometry was observed in the addition of triphenylaluminum to 2-methylcyclopentanone6. Even with an excess of the aluminum reagent trans attack predominates. However, the diastereoselectivity is lower than with the use of an equimolar amount of the reactants. [Pg.15]
On the other hand, in the presence of Lewis acids such as titanium(lV) chloride or eerium(TIT) chloride, the (S)-e s-conformer predominates via chelation of the two carbonyl groups and a reversed stereochemistry of the addition reaction is observed1 °. [Pg.102]
Addition of (R,S)-9 to the aromatic benzaldehyde proceeded with higher enantiosclcctivity than the addition of the diastereomeric reagent (S,S)-9. The reverse is true for additions to aliphatic aldehydes. Thus, the highest enantioselectivity of 92% ee was observed in the addition of (R,R)- 9 to cyclohexanccarboxaldehyde. The low chemical yields of most addition reactions can be improved by addition of the Lewis acid diethylaluminum ethoxide. The presence of the Lewis acid solely enhanced the chemical yield without changing the enantioselectivity of the addition reactions. [Pg.144]
The addition reaction requires the presence of 4 equivalents of HMPA, thus partial racemization of optically active aldehydes under these basic conditions is anticipated. Unfortunately, the addition of magnesium bromide, zinc chloride or cadmium iodide reverses the regioselectivity11 ... [Pg.245]
Lithiated areneacetonitriles react with a,/i-unsaturated ketones at low temperatures using short reaction times to give both 1,2- and 1,4-adducts. The 1,2-addition is reversible and under thermodynamic control (higher temperatures and longer reaction times) only the 1,4-adducts, i.e., <5-oxonitriles, arc obtained. When lithiated arylacetonitrile is added to 2-substituted 2-cy-cloalkenones in THF or in THF/HMPA mixtures at — 70-0°C, followed by protonation or alkylation under kinetically controlled conditions, predominantly cis- or fnms-2,3-disubstitut-ed cycloalkanones respectively, are obtained. [Pg.967]
The 1961 report that Vaska s compound (IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2) reversibly binds dioxygen sparked off an intense study of addition reactions of this and related compounds that has continued unabated up to the present day [125], Vaska s compound may be prepared as yellow air-stable crystals by various reactions, such as conventional substitution... [Pg.135]
Scheme 5-14 may be called a two-dimensional system of reactions, in contrast to Scheme 5-1 which consists of a one-dimensional sequence of two acid-base equilibria. In Scheme 5-14 the (Z/E) configurational isomerism is added to the acid-base reactions as a second dimension . The real situation, however, is yet more complex, as the TV-nitrosoamines may be involved as constitutional isomers of the diazohydroxide. In order not to make Scheme 5-14 too complex the nitrosoamines are not included, but are shown instead in Scheme 5-15. The latter also includes the addition reactions of the (Z)- and ( )-diazoates (5.4 and 5.5) to the diazonium ion to form the (Z,Z)-, (Z,E)- and (2 2i)-diazoanhydrides (5.6, 5.7 and 5.8) as well as proto-de-nitrosation reactions (steps 10, 11 and 12). This pathway corresponds to the reverse reaction of diazotization, as amine and nitrosating reagent (nitrosyl ion) are formed in this reaction sequence.
When the substituent groups in the polyphosphazenes were azobenzene [719] or spiropyran [720] derivatives, photochromic polymers were obtained, showing reversible light-induced trans-cis isomerization or merocyanine formation, respectively. Only photocrosslinking processes by [2+2] photo-addition reactions to cyclobutane rings could be observed when the substituent groups on the phosphazene backbone were 4-hydroxycinnamates [721-723] or 4-hydroxychalcones [722-724]. [Pg.224]

When I started thinking about hands free switches I might've taken it a bit too far and started thinking about people free switches. I guess realistically there's no such thing: there's always some sort of human component, in the construction or the operation. But still, I was thinking of a way to take the control out of my hands completely.
I took Urban Arts last semester and we talked a lot about the mechanisms of New York City, and the different byproducts of the way it functions. One of those, that I pinpointed as a useful force for my switch, was te gust of warm air that comes up out of the subway grates when the trains go by. I thought I could use that physical force to close the circuit.
The bottom of the base has a hole to let in the subway air, and the top has another piece of foil, so that when the bag is blown upwards, it's just the right height and both pieces of foil are pressed together. I also added some clay as weight so when the air stops the bag sinks back down and the circuit is open again (the bag was surprisingly structural and wouldn't collapse by itself which is surprising for flimsy trash).
For my circuit, I wanted to make a switch that could be activated with any part of the body, so I looked up how to make a touch sensor. As it turns out, Arduino has a library called Capacitative Sensor that is designed to do just that. The picture below shows my circuit.
The values touch1 and touch2 are the input from the sensors. When the sensors are not activated, they hang around the 0-20 range, but when touched they shoot up to the hundreds and sometimes the thousands. There are a lot of ways to use the touch sensor. An idea I had was to attach up to 9 sensors and have a key code to turn on the light!


The minutes of the 2/8/2011 meetings were approved as read.
No report. Jeff Peltola mentioned that there was an article in the Southwest Journal about Tim Springer.
The last meeting of the Community Working Group was held on February 3, 2011, so that group will no longer be meeting. Jeff Peltola attended the SW Community Advisory Council meeting on February 23. He said that another neighborhood group has a Capstone Urban Planning project.
Is still waiting for the DEIS to be released. Meg Forney distributed copies of results of a Park Board survey about the SW LRT. Meg asked that Board members review the survey and share any comments/input with her.
WCNC was asked to consider being a part of a Minneapolis SW LRT Coalition. The coalition is: "A loose affiliation of neighborhoods in the Minneapolis Corridor from north to south. The goal is to create a unified voice of Minneapolis Corridor neighborhoods so we have more bargaining power as SW LRT planning continues.
Meg Forney, Kathy Cobb and Michael Wagner volunteered to represent West Calhoun Neighborhood Council.
Matt Perry reported that 45 neighborhoods have submitted applications since February 22. All but two have been approved.
Meg Forney is very excited about the Stakeholder's Group. Kelly Doran attended this week's meeting. She proposed that WCNC expand the Coordinator's hours to dedicate time to starting a business association. She said that CIDNA actually started WCNC with $1,000 in seed money. She suggested that WCNC provide seed money to start a business association.
Matt Perry helped to found the Nicollet East Harriet Business Association (NEHBA), which is a business association made up of eight SW neighborhoods. Kingfield and East Harriet neighborhood associations put up a total of $1,500 to start the organization plus staff time. NEHBA has received $200,000 in façade improvement and marketing grants.
In the Community Participation Program application, Rhea will add a paragraph under the section about under-represented groups. Business owners are an under-represented group. Matt Perry suggested that we talk with NCR staff to find out if starting a business association is considered a community engagement activity under the Community Participation Program.
We discussed a possible summer event. David Rhees suggested a possible partnership with The Bakken Museum during the Ten Best Days of Summer. Other suggestions included "A Taste of West Calhoun," a tour of neighborhood businesses. It would be good to find out what the business community wants. The Ten Best Days of The Bakken partnership seems to make the most sense for summer 2011.
Suggestions for #6: 1) Have NCEC Commissioners attend Board meetings and 2) Share expertise on topics of interest like business associations.
The Board approved a motion to move $15,000 from Phase I Strategy #3 Excelsior Blvd. Streetscape (also referred to as Neighborhood Corridors) to Phase I Strategy #10 Implementation.
Rhea will let Carsten know of the plan mod and will draft the plan mod letter.
The consensus of the group is that the whole board should review the NRP Plan. We will look at the current strategies and discuss why they haven't been implemented.
The Southwest Transitway is still 6-7 years out. We won't likely be able to plan for Southwest Transitway improvements for some time yet.
Meg suggested that we set goals on a timeline.
We will review the NRP Plan at our April meeting. If we want to make changes to the plan, we can present them at our Annual Meeting on May 10.
We have been invited to join CIDNA at their Annual Meeting on May 11. The Board feels its best to have our own meeting. The Capstone students can present their findings at both the WCNC and CIDNA annual meetings.
We will once again be partnering with the MPRB to host the Earth Day Clean-Up site at W. 32nd and Calhoun Parkway.
Rhea had asked Whole Foods for a donation of bottled water and snacks for Earth Day. The Board suggested we ask instead if they would be willing to provide a donation for our Annual Meeting on May 10.
David Rhees will assist Rhea with staffing the table. Staff from The Bakken Museum will be helping with the clean up. Cargill will be providing free coffee and doughnuts.
NCEC Commissioner Matt Perry spoke about the April 16 (9 a.m. -12 noon) NCEC City-wide meeting to discuss the NCEC Election Process. Every neighborhood organization is being asked to appoint a representative to that meeting. This year Districts 1, 3, 5, 7 will be elected. District 2's election will be next year.
Michael Wagner will be our representative. Jeff Peltola is the alternate.
The Commission will be coming back to the neighborhoods to discuss the equitable distribution of the frozen Phase II funds. The Commission hopes to have recommendations ready by June 2011.
Meg Forney took everyone's guesses for this year's Ice Out date.
The next WCNC Board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 12, 2011 at The Bakken Museum at 5:30 p.m.
