Mathematics is only a tool to try to describe reaity and is not reality itself. So ideally I should calculate using pi to infinite decimal places? But then that would not match reality because circular objects in reality aren't perfect circles. Give me a situation where pi is used to somewhere more than 10 decimal places in reality, not maths which is just a tool, but reality.
I am not doubting that using the idea of a perfect circle is not useful BUT it is not reality.
Raul:
If you honestly believe that all Socially defined things are not "reality", then I suggest you put that belief a test. go rob a bank (but don't hurt anyone), and when you get caught, see if you can convince the judge that the Socially defined penalty for the crime is NOT a reality.
I'm sorry, but some Socially defined things are as "real" as anything can be. They were defined the way they are, because the proof of experience, over the years, has caused them to be defined that way.
Math is NOT ONLY A TOOL, except to non- pure mathematicians. Mathematics may be used by some people as a tool in their attempts to describe/model physical "reality", but to pure mathematicians, Mathematics has a "reality" unto "itself".
Unlike our physical "reality", it is a WELL "defined reality" that is logically proven correct, consistent and interrelated.
Yes, there are some areas of Mathematics that are still in the discovery stage (because some of their concepts have not, as yet, been proven to be true or false and are just mathematical theories/ assumptions, but for the most part, mathematics is well defined, logically consistent and most of its Theorems have been proven to be true. (Again, I remind you, that its "truthfulness has NOTHING to do with "physical reality".)
On a 2 dimensional "flat" surface (something that can NOT exist in the physical reality WE LIVE IN, if Relativity is "true"), the sum of the interior angles of a triangle will always equal 180 degrees, where a degree is always defined as the size of the angle created between two adjacent radii of a circle. whose arc length along the circumference of that circle between those two radii is 1/360th of the circumference of the circle. (And again a "circle, is NOT an object that can exist in our physical "reality, but it DOES EXIST in the "mathematical" "world" of 2 dimensions).
Likewise the sum of the angles in a triangle drawn on the surface of a sphere (another object that can NOT exist in our physical reality) is greater than 180 degrees.
Like most people you confuse Mathematics' main purpose with having something to do with our physical reality. Any such comparison, where that is true, is purely accidental as far as Mathematics is concerned.
Let me illustrate with a story about the difference between a physicist and a mathematician:
There was once a professor of Philosophy who wants to determine what was the difference between the way a physicist thinks and a mathematician, so he devised a test.
In a room he had a table with a glass of water on it and a chair.
He brought the physicist in first and asked him to move the glass of water from the table to the chair and explain why he did what he did.
The physicist moved the glass of water from the table to the chair along a relatively straight line and said, "I have learned that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line." ((( as an aside, that statement may NOT be true in the Universe in which we live, if Space is in fact curved))).
The physicist then left, the glass was replaced on the table and the mathematician was invited in and give the same problem.
He moved the water from the table to the chair along a relatively straight line and said, "I learned in Math that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line."
He left the room and the physicist came back in, with the glass still on the chair.
The philosopher then asked him to move the water from the chair to the floor. The physicist picked it up and lowered it to the floor in a relatively straight linear motion and said the same thing he had said before.
He left, the glass was returned to the chair and the mathematician brought back in and given the same challenge, with the same results.
He left, the glass was put back on the table and the physicist came back in.
He was told to now take the water from the table to the floor and explain.
He picked it up, moved it directly from the table to the floor along a relatively straight line and quoted the same reason.
He left, the glass was replaced on the table and the mathematician was brought back in and given the same challenge.
He said, "That is easy, I already know how to get the glass from the table to the chair and from the chair to the floor". So he picked up the glass, moved it first to the chair and then from there to the floor.
Now, what is the difference?
The physicist works with "models", he used his Math "skills" to make a model for finding a scientific process for moving the glass between any two different points in space and then using that method to solve the last problem.
Whereas, the mathematician took the bigger problem and broke it down into two smaller problems, each of which he already knew how to solve, and used that knowledge to solve the original problem.
Pure mathematicians aren't studying "physical reality" they are studying the various relationships between their mathematical constructs in their "mathematical reality".
If those relationships have anything in common with physical reality, then THAT is for physicists to be concerned with. Pure mathematicians could care less. Physicists take Math classes, so they can learn enough Math to use it in forming their models. Most pure mathematicians don't concern themselves with Physics and physical "reality", they study Math for Math's sake.
When I studied Mathematics, the fact that it was a "reality" unto itself. One that does not change over time, was one of the things that caused it to be attractive to me. (Unlike Science, where "reality" is so uncertain and "scientific explanations are constantly changing.)
In Mathematics, things it deals with are true because its relationships have been "proven" to be logically consistent. (Again, I remind you that Mathematics has a "reality" unto itself and though some of its principals and relationships may be used by other people to try to model the external world, whether or not those attempts to use it for such purposes yields any useful results, that, to a pure mathematician, is totally unimportant.)
In Spherical Geometry, Pi has "exactly" the same mathematical value it has in Euclidean flat plane Geometry. the same mathematical "rules" apply and the same Calculus calculations define it in either system.
Just because something is written in a book, no matter how logical it may "sound", doesn't necessarily make it "a true fact".
Let a = b
now multiply both sides by a
Then a^2 = ab
now subtract b^2 from both sides
Then a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2
now factor both sides
(a + b) (a - b) = b(a-b)
now divide both sides by (a-b)
Then(a + b) = b
but b = a
Then 2a = a
now divide both sides by a
Then 2 = 1
See what happens when you violate some of the rules in Math?
To Raul:
I reviewed the two examples you referred to. I immediately see the errors in both examples logic, do you?
Like my last example, they break mathematical rules.

and apart from the impossibility of multipling or dividing anything by zero, of course 2 zeroes equal *0*.
Mathemeticians make these conceptual mistakes all the time -
just like Einstein did !

So, actually "a" did NOT have to = 0, it could have equaled ANY value originally.
Wardenclyffe, The Unknowable
1) Nikola Tesla constructed the Wardenclyffe installation with the intent of establishing a Telluric transmitter site. J.P. Morgain gave 150,000 dollars into this project, expecting a basic Telluric telegraph link between the new and old worlds. Tesla failed to produce this system but instead he spent Morgans money on further experiment. The rest is history.
Nikola Tesla had many fascinating ideas in his mind, and thereby utilized the Wardenclyffe facility for a wide variety of experiments. We will never know the full extent of Tesla's ideas. Hence, in this regard the "Wardenclyffe Idea" is unknowable, like the inside of the sun, or God. Wardenclyffe as an idea is an enigma.
It is a characteristic of the human mind that when looking into the unknowable, the mind forms a projected image of itself upon the edifice of the unknowable. Verily this is a rampant condition on the EG forum. Wardenclyffe is now a myriad of projected phantasies. The Wardenclyffe tower of Babylon.
However, to the experienced transmission engineer the Wardenclyffe transmission station is a basic, engineerable, Telluric transmission system. This is evidenced by the massive Telluric terminal which served as the "roots" of the tower structure transformer. As a transmission engineer I see the ability for commercial, or military application, hence RCA Bolinas. Telluric transmission is an engineerable reality, there is no Art Bell.
The Telluric system as visualized by Nikola Tesla is very basic. Tesla, through various statements, provides most of the important principles necessary to achieve a working system. This system would serve as a sort of Non-Maxwellian transmission medium, for maritime and naval applications.
With the existence of such a system more detailed understanding can be gained through scientific observation. This is what I propose for the Wardenclyffe of today, now ready to be cleaned up and put into Telluric transmission service. Fat chance that will ever happen. I am explaining why on the other EG forum Wardenclyffe channel. These will be my final writings on the EG forum.
It is not in my best interest to provide technical information relating to any project in which I am seeking a commercial, or military, application. To do so is not such a good idea. Further, I have absolutely no interest in providing such information to parties which do not present their findings in a scientific manner. The only scientific work on this subject is that of Dr Green, and a queek calls him a shill. Welcome to the Greyhound Bus depot, Fresno, California. This route ends here.
The "Rite of Passage" into basic Telluric transmission is the Crystal Radio Initiative. The proposition is simple, who can draw the most energy from their local AM broadcast station, free energy as Tesla envisioned. But it is not free for the AM station, your load now appears on their power bill.
Tesla never claimed his Telluric system was a so called free energy development. In fact, his article in Scientific American on the new Van De Graaf generator confirms Tesla's belief in the Law of COnservation as a basic immutable law of nature. So let us dump this idea overboard here and now.
Tesla shows in diagrammatic form, and testifies in COurt that Telluric transmission does not utilize the Earth Ionosphere condenser. We are told of the Earth Ionosphere waveguide, and Schumann Resonance. Not only does this have no meaning in Telluric transmission, the Earth-Ionospher does not even have the proper geometry to support any waveguide mode. This too goes over the side, it can rest with Bin Laden.

Great Balls of Fire
rickinva,
I don't want to cause an explosion of useless argument but I think you have started to go on a crusade of wasted effort.
Since Heaviside has worded my thoughts better I will quote him on the matter of Mathematics and Physical Science:
"Shall I refuse my dinner because I do not fully understand the process of digestion?"
"Physics is above mathematics and the slave must be trained to suit the master's convenience" E.M.T. Vol. II, pg 414
"Mathematics is an Experimental Science
That the study of the theory of a physical science should be preceded by some general experimental acquaintance therewith, in order to secure the inimitable advantage of a personal acquaintance with something real and living, will probably be agreed with by most persons. After, however, the general experimental knowledge has been acquired, accompanied with just a sufficient amount of theory to connect it together and render its acquisition easier and more interesting, it becomes possible to consider the theory by itself, as theory. The experimental facts then go out of sight, in a great measure, not because they are unimportant, but because they become subordinate to the theory in a certain sense, and, we might also add, because they are fundamental, and the foundations are always hidden from view in well-constructed buildings." E.M.T Vol. II
In conclusion, Heaviside attained his historical significance by using real life to model his mathematical expressions and NOT the other way around. Mathematics is merely a tool that must be conformed to and judged by the real world where it is applied.
"Heaviside was not only a great mathematician, he was also a great physicist; and it is the knowledge of the the physics of the problems which guided him correctly in may instances to the development of suitable mathematical processes. He concerned himself little with formal proofs or rigorous demonstrations. As he remarked: 'In working out physical problems, there should be, in the first place, no pretense to rigorous formalism. The physics will guide the physicist along somehow to useful and important results, by the constant union of physical and geometrical analytical ideas'.'" L Cohen, Heaviside Electrical Circuit Theory, 1928, pgv
To finish here's a short expose of Heaviside's Electro-Magnetic Theory, given in the Philosophical Magazine,
"Every line of the book is important, and it is full of interesting digressions on all sorts of subjects. Though the converse may not be true, all clever men have a sense of humor, and it is therefore a pity that scientific writers emulate the ponderous dryness of the theologian. Mr. Heaviside's work bristles with humor of a type which he has invented."

On the subject of earthquakes, this was repeated on the propaganda box earlier and fortunately it's also on youtube
Why Can't We Predict Earthquakes ? (BBC Documentary) - YouTube
The part at 40 minutes 45 seconds in particular is interesting and the guy that follows. By applying pressure to a rock, the rock starts to produce an electrical current. He believes before an earthquake the rocks could be producing thousands of amps.
dR-Green,
There is a paper on the American Marconi Foundation's website regarding this phenomena, which you may find interesting.
I believe the effect to be due to displacement currents produced by changing the permittivity of the rock (via pressure / rupture) and the effective distance between two "boundary conditions", where one value of permittivity abuts or transitions into another[1]. All of this determines the effective electrostatic capacity present. It is essentially a hybrid of parameter variation in the electrical sense but also interspersed with chemical science as well, such as the tribo-electric and piezo-electric effects.
[1] Vladimir Karapatoff describes the junction between two dissimilar permittivities as best though of an infinitely thin conducting plane. Which aids in the calculation of capacitance for situations having layers of dissimilar dielectrics, like air and glass for a loosely spaced HV capacitor.

Crystal Set Initiative Questions
1) The experimental work of Dr Green highlights some of what has been given here on resonant coils. It is unfortunate that only Dr Green gives us data for study, others just "hide away" their work or yield "multiply".
This is the 'Zealot' who is being referred to above talking to the 'Shredded Messiah'.
I am unable to provide pictures because this medium is weak and lacking and does not allow me to provide what you want.
I am even unable to remove the thumbnails as that provision is now full and cannot be deleted.
Understand the medium chosen before you criticise please.
The pathetic use of 'Smilies' is sufficient indication that nothing serious is going to ferment here unless we focus one another on the true task ahead.
This is modern 'lack of substance' garbage that needs to find the bin.
I don't like this medium.
You have still not answered my questions with respect to 'what we can expect' with firing up the CSI (Crystal Set Initiative) with the 'Tesla Transformer Pulse Generator'?
I would consider the 'NET' and Guillemin to come in here to modify the input pulse such that we obtain the correct IMPULSE.
You are the one that has initiated this effort and would now like to know what the next step is that you have planned please after the power application?
Are you fully aware of how much all of this is costing each individual here with your 'Crystal Set Initiative' - a little humility please as we are not your enslaver.
I am the only one that has built your Vacuum Tube schematics and that is understandable as I am set up for that type of work but would appreciate some more concluding information so that we may progress as I am sure the others here are also interested in those results.
You keep telling me that I have a 'Tandem' TMT operating and I am going to disagree with you on that as I have a 'multiply' Extra coil and NOT your 'divide'.
Why is it that I am able to hear my Extra Coil transmitting from as far away as 20" through the pickup head and headphones and cannot do so with the local AM Station?
Is AM modulation the next step that you would be proposing as I have prepared also for that event?
Is this what the 'Regenerative Magnifying Receiver' (RMR) would be used for - Telluric wireless communication?
You are the Mentor here with responsibilities and we are your students attempting to understand and build your theories as you so freely provide and we in turn are responding in appreciation by doing our best with what you have to offer.
I will do my best to put all my data onto paper and send by mail to you but would first like the above questions answered so that we may continue with focussed experiment on YOUR system.

Smokey, while you and I may not agree on some of the technical details and maths here, with this I do agree 100%, posting pics and information is a major PITA! I share loads of technical data and engineering help on other sites that are set-up with a much easier interface. the lack here of this ability takes time to work around it, and frankly i don't have a lot of spare time to do this.
It shorts all involved and Eric from getting the data he wants. not being able to post properly formatted equations is beyond frustrating!
having to host the files and pics on another site and embed a link to them is frustratingly slow. I applaud DrGreens effort in this, I just don't have enough spare time.
Something Better
Second attempt - first response went into the wilderness!
I normally do my Posts on Firefox Thunderbird then copy and paste here as I have lost too many Posts as Energetic appears to go on serial holidays.
Madhatter,
Would you please ask Eric if he can get himself familiar with the Yahoo format at 'n6kph' because the only one benefitting here is dRGreen and that is excellent but everyone else has difficulty in posting pics and diagrams?
I have asked this question before but had no answer.
Nobody has bothered to respond to my question as to whether you could see my last attempt at pasting pics but there again, no answer.
This is NOT the medium we should be using where Eric is limited in Computer skills and Yahoo makes it that much easier for both files and pictures and no 3rd party is involved.
I have asked Aaron for something better but that fell on deaf ears.
Cannot work this way and am now pushing all my information that nobody else appears to be having success with to 'dltorsiondevices' at Yahoo and just made an upload yesterday but will be removing all the old CSI stuff as it was only initial construction detail.
If I don't get a satisfactory conclusion here I may begin my own Yahoo site and this will include ALL my successful builds but the problem is with Eric and what he is used to and we need to get him up the curve whether he likes it or not because he IS the one that is missing out on all the detail.
He has a responsibility to each and everyone of us to continue with HIS incentive as we would ALL like to see a conclusion.
dRGreen,
Excellent effort, keep it up as I don't wish to discredit anybody that is attempting to help Eric.
TechZombie,
Thankyou for making a donation to Eric's cause as I see he failed to thank you for that effort but then we must consider his situation as he hates us all.
Your assessment of his condition was pretty much spot on and wish to thank you for the 'Shredded Messiah' label.
Nothing to do with us Eric, we are simply here trying to help you resolve your theories.
Thomas Henry Moray:
I am most interested in what you have to say with respect to Thomas Henry Moray as that is my other main project ongoing at this time.
This should be a good one for you and Vacuum Tubes and visible 'Energy Synthesis'.
All my information for the Moray project will be going to the Yahoo site as it would be wasted on this lacking medium here.
Notice at Yahoo there are NO sites in memory of TH Moray's work and the simple reason is that most have no experience with Vacuum Tubes other than the Amplifier sect who are only interested in making NOISE!
From RickinVA (NO MORE ON PI) To Eric instead
I want to apologize to everyone for the time and space I wasted in my postings about Pi. Not because I feel what I said was wrong, (I don't and it wasn't), but because no one really cares one way or the other about the points I was trying to make. And in THIS setting, no one should care. Again, I apologize.
But I do have a few questions for Eric, if he would be so kind.
Would you be kind enough to look in page 10 of this thread and look over postings # 284, 285, 286 & 288. And give me any input and help you might be willing to provide?
UHF Measurements Kiver
Excellent Book!
Have managed to pull out in pdfs all the pages pertaining to Magnetrons as several of the sentences, words and illustrations hit home in my current Moray research.
Dynatrons, Negative resistance, Vacuun Tubes type XX (3 of which I have just missed on Ebay and have been in my 'to buy' list for about 3 years).
Illustrations show a split tube, probably Copper, which is the recent organisation/thinking from the Kapanadze camp.
Go here for a read and pull out what you want in single page pdfs:

Going now to pull out the measuring information that Eric has directed us to, some 30 pages.
OK that's done and will now attempt to put all the pdfs into one and will upload when completed if I don't have any problems.
Too big now at about 10Mb to upload anywhere so will give you this beaut little easy-to-use program to compile single page pds into a booklet:

Just make sure you have the pages in order when you select them all from your folder.
Nothing more on pi from me, don't want to upset the teacher!
Old Vs New
The new secondary is complete, with improved connection terminals and 15% height to diameter ratio. All the 20 SWG wire I had left ended up being literally 5cm too short, so that had to be unwound and was replaced with 2 parallel layers of 24 SWG, which delayed proceedings by 3.5 hours. So no tests done yet, there's one final test to do on the old secondary before it gets moved.

(Original) Secondary coil with condenser ring as final turn removed:
First resonance peak: 3156 kc
Second resonance peak: Over 5000 kc (signal generator maximum)
The current and potential distribution is the same as 3101 and 4594 kc.
Dr,Green
I noticed a couple things and have some questions and thoughts for you.
what is the frequency your designing for? 3Mhz?
the secondary being wound with 2 parallel wires will have increased inter-turn capacitance.
is the primary a flat coil in cross section?
early on there was a x-cell spreadsheet put out that I heavily modified and shared a couple times, if you have one version of it have you checked the mass & surface area of the coils?
the latest version I have I've included capacitance, inductance, reactance etc on the coils. that helped in getting my coil set parameters close to what I figured would work and the best available based on wire gauge.
It's been awhile since I looked over my build and the calculations. very frustrated that once I got the o-scope the sig gen crapped out.


A card that at the first glance is often seen as horrid and scary, the Death card, is the most fascinating in the whole Major Arcana Tarot deck.
Featuring a skeleton, this card represents the end of a cycle, it means something in our lives needs to end for new things to come to us. Meaning transformation, liberation and revolution, it advises us to sweep away the junk and close a chapter in our lives to open a new and better one.
If we draw this card in reverse during a reading, it means we might be struggling to let that something go. It could also mean that our vibration is misaligned, meaning that we are cluttering our life instead of cleansing it of material things or feelings that, instead, must go.

Season 5 of New Girl is going to premiere on 5th January. The upcoming season will not have Zooey Deschanel's Jess Day since she is on her maternity leave. However, there are exciting thing coming up in the upcoming season.
With Zooey Deschanel away on maternity leave, fans have something else to look forward to. It has been reported that Megan Fox is going to join the star cast of the new season. The star from Transformers will join New Season 5 from the sixth season.
Season 4 of New Girl saw Schmidt (Max Greenfield) and Cece (Hannah Simone) deciding to get engaged and at the same time Zooey and Nick (Jake Johnson) realizing that they still have feelings for each other. The executive producer Liz Meriwether has told International Business Times that Season 5 of New Girl is going to start with an engagement party.
Jess and Nick who are the maid of honor and best man respectively for Cece and Schmidt throw them an engagement party where they even decide to have a Bollywood number keeping in mind Cece's heritage.
Zooey Deschanel has shot for the first three episodes and then the story narrates that she leaves for jury duty and the boys decide to rent out her room. Megan Fox makes an entry in the sixth episode of Season 6 as a medical sales representative, Regan.
Liz Meriwether when asked about Megan Fox as Regan in New Girl Season 6 states that they never thought that the beautiful actress would be this perfect for the role. Meriwether gushed about her comic timing and said that no one could imagine that a girl this gorgeous could be so funny.
Fans of New Girl were not keen on Megan Fox becoming a part of the upcoming season and they had made their feelings very clear. Some even threatened to boycott the show until Zooey Deschanel was back from maternity leave. However, Liz Meriwether said that the role of Regan was written keeping in mind Megan Fox and they are glad to see how perfect the actress is for the role.
Max Greenfield spoke about new co-star Megan Fox and couldn't stop gushing. He revealed that the boys were a little skeptical about whether Megan Fox will get along with them, since their off-screen chemistry plays an important role on their on-screen presence.
However, all their inhibitions were tossed out once Megan Fox started filming for New Girl Season 5. Greenfield added that Megan Fox is so funny that sometimes it became hard for the others to keep their faces straight while she was delivering a dialogue. He said that fans will be surprised to see how funny the actress is once New Girl airs in January.
Zooey Deschanel was the heart and soul of New Girl. As Jess Day, she was the perfect mix of beauty and eccentrics and it would be difficult for the loyal fans to not see her around in New Girl Season 5 after the first three episodes. However, they will be happy to know that Zooey Deschanel has only taken a maternity leave and will be back in no time to reprise her role as Jess.

Species placed in this group are either those with appendages between the corolla lobes, or those with small corollas covered densely with hairs such that the corolla itself is obscured (largely the genera Trichantha and Bucinellina).
Columnea minor, formerly known as a Trichantha, usually has a finely divided bright red and hairy calyx, creating a spectacular effect.
Columnea minor often typifies this section. This species is relatively common and widely distributed in Colombia and Ecuador. The calyx is deeply divided (fimbriate) and covered densely with hairs, giving the appearance that the flower emerges from a puff-ball. The appendages that occur between the lobes of the corolla are found in many, but not all species in this section. The function of these appendages remains only speculative, presumably affecting the types of pollinators that visit the flower.
This section is also likely to be divided in the future. Some species hold together well, such as those with wide calyx lobes (C. pulchra, C. herthae, C. pygmaea), but others including the type species for the section (C. anisophylla) are not closely related.

Phacility Data Use Policy
Updated 1,209 Days Ago
The Phacility service helps individuals and organizations to host, store, search, and retrieve information.
In order to provide this service, you upload a large amount of private and sensitive information (including documents, files, images, communication, encryption keys, passwords, source code and logs) to our software.
Keeping this information secure is an important aspect of the service, and we endeavor to protect it from both external threats and improper internal access.
This document focuses on internal policies for access and use of your data. Except as described below, Phacility staff do not (and can not) access your data. In particular, with specific exceptions, Phacility staff can not log in to your accounts or instances and can not view your documents, source code, etc.
Username, Instance Identity and Membership
We access and use your username and the identity of your instances (generally, the instance names) and your relationship to instances (for example, membership) internally to help identify and resolve support or technical issues that relate to a specific instance or set of instances.
For example, if you report difficulty accessing an instance, support staff see your identity, and can identify instances you are connected to in order to determine which instance has a problem.
Likewise, if there is a technical problem with an internal service, support staff can identify the affected instances by name in order to communicate and/or resolve the issue.
Capacity and Size Information
In some cases, support staff have access to access statistical information about the size of your instance (for example: the number of users, number of repositories, size of backups, network usage, total data size, or number of support requests).
We use this information to help us scale the service, anticipate the effects of maintenance, plan capacity, or otherwise better support or administrate instances.
For example, we may want to move large instances to dedicated hardware, or spread them across multiple services. Information about instance size can help us plan and execute these changes, or be confident these changes are correct and reasonable when an automated system performs them.
Information You Allow us to Access
In the course of providing support, we may ask to gain access to your data in order to reproduce, debug, understand or verify an issue. You can decline these requests, although we may be unable to resolve issues we can not reproduce.
If you allow us to access your data, we will limit the scope and timeframe of the access to the minimum reasonably required to resolve the issue you are experiencing. To the best of our ability, we will log and audit how this access is used.
At times, we collect statistical usage information from instances (for example: which applications are in use, how heavily they are being used, and how frequently certain options or features are used, enabled, or configured). This data is anonymous and used to inform decisions about the product and our roadmap. For example: if we see that a feature is in common use across instances, we may prioritize improving it.
You can find a log of queries we have executed against cluster data at Ad-Hoc Query Log.
Changes to Data Use
We expect that we may change what data we access in the future. Our access to and use of data is currently very tightly restricted, and essentially represents the minimum level of access we can reasonably have to provide the service.
In the future, we may be interested in collecting more statistical information about instances. For example, we may want to collect performance data so we can understand how to optimize the service.
We do not currently collect this data, and will update this document and notify users if we do make changes.
Information Disclosed to Third Parties
We explicitly disclose some information to third parties that provide technical services. In other cases, third-parties are technically capable of accessing data. These are the third-party services we currently use:
Amazon Web Services hosts the machines we run the service on, and has technical access to the network and hardware.
Stripe is a payment processor used to charge credit cards. They receive and process billing information.
MailGun provides inbound and outbound mail services.
ReCAPTCHA provides CAPTCHAs.
In all cases, these third parties either do not have access to data or are obligated to restrict access. We will discontinue use of a service provider if we believe their policies are at odds with our own.
Disaster Recovery, Abuse, Emergencies, and Law Enforcement
In extreme cases, we may need to access data to recover from disasters, stop abuse, prevent harm, comply with the law, or respond to other urgent or unusual situations.
This exceptional access requires internal authorization from senior staff, who are the only employees with technical access to perform it. As permitted by law, we will disclose when (and to what extent) we used this access.
Operational Access Transparency Report
This is a transparency report which categorizes operational access levels in the Phacility cluster.
As we currently have two employees, this disclosure isn't very meaningful in its current form, but we believe transparency about access control is important and expect this report will reflect a disciplined approach to access control as we grow.
Access is affected by both policy controls (which describe when access is acceptable) and technical controls (which prevent access). Policy controls can remedy improper access, but can not prevent it. Technical controls prevent access. Wherever possible, we use technical controls.
At the highest level, a minimum number of senior staff have full technical access in order to recover from disasters and remedy problems in the access control implementation itself.
Operational staff currently have these levels of access to the cluster:
Master Full technical access to the cluster; access restricted by policy controls.
None No access to any customer data or cluster operations.
This table summarizes staff access levels:
Master CEO 1 The CEO currently has significant operational responsibilities.
Master Head of Operations 1 Operations has significant operational responsibilities.

The word chemistry comes from alchemy, which referred to an earlier set of practices that encompassed elements of chemistry, metallurgy, philosophy, astrology, astronomy, mysticism and medicine. It is often seen as linked to the quest to turn lead or another common starting material into gold, though in ancient times the study encompassed many of the questions of modern chemistry being defined as the study of the composition of waters, movement, growth, embodying, disembodying, drawing the spirits from bodies and bonding the spirits within bodies by the early 4th century Greek-Egyptian alchemist Zosimos. An alchemist was called a 'chemist' in popular speech, and later the suffix "-ry" was added to this to describe the art of the chemist as "chemistry".
The current model of atomic structure is the quantum mechanical model. Traditional chemistry starts with the study of elementary particles, atoms, molecules,substances, metals, crystals and other aggregates of matter. This matter can be studied in solid, liquid, or gas states, in isolation or in combination. The interactions, reactions and transformations that are studied in chemistry are usually the result of interactions between atoms, leading to rearrangements of the chemical bonds which hold atoms together. Such behaviors are studied in a chemistry laboratory.
Chemistry is the study of matter, and all matter is made up of atoms. We will learn about elements, atomic number and mass, isotopes, moles (chemistry moles, not the animal), and compounds. Introduction to the atom. Ions and compounds. Names and formulas of ionic compounds.
Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, mechanisms, and reactions of organic compounds. An organic compound is defined as any compound based on a carbon skeleton. Physical chemistry is the study of the physical and fundamental basis of chemical systems and processes.

Viața pariziană  (titlul original: în ) este o operetă (opera bufă) în cinci acte compusă de Jacques Offenbach, al cărui libret a fost scris de Henri Meilhac și Ludovic Halévy, premiera având loc în data de 31 octombrie 1866 la "Théâtre du Palais-Royal" din Paris în versiunea de cinci acte.
A avut un succes deosebit, fiind jucate 265 de spectacole consecutive.

După ce a fost revizuită, opereta a fost prezentată din nou, în patru acte (fără actul al 4-lea din versiunea originală) în 25 septembrie 1873, la Théâtre des Variétés din Paris.

În România, opereta s-a perzentat pentru prima oară la 7 aprilie 1869, la Iași, de către o trupă de operetă germană, condusă de S. Modrzewski, iar în mai 1873, tot la Iași, de către o trupă de operetă franceză, condusă de actrița Emilie Keller, care o reprezintă apoi și la Teatrul Național din București, în stagiunea 1877–1878.

Olympia Travel Guide
Olympia, officially Archaia Olympia, is a small town in Elis on the Peloponnese peninsula in Greece, famous for the nearby archaeological site of the same name, which was a major Panhellenic religious sanctuary of ancient Greece, where the ancient Olympic Games were held every four years throughout Classical antiquity, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD.They were restored on a global basis in 1894 in honor of the ideal of peaceful international contention for excellence.
The sacred precinct, named the Altis, was primarily dedicated to Zeus, although other gods were worshipped there. The games conducted in his name drew visitors from all over the Greek world as one of a group of such "Panhellenic" centres, which helped to build the identity of the ancient Greeks as a nation. Despite the name, it is nowhere near Mount Olympus in northern Greece, where the Twelve Olympians, the major deities of Ancient Greek religion, were believed to live.
Ancient history records that Pisa and Elis, other villages in the region, contended with Olympia for management of the precinct, and that Olympia won, implying that the village was not identical to the precinct. The putative location of the ancient village is the modern village, which appears to have been inhabited continuously since ancient times.
The archaeological site held over 70 significant buildings, and ruins of many of these survive. Of special interest to Greeks of all times is the Pelopion, the tomb of the quasi-mythical king, ancestor of the Atreids, the two kings who led their domains to war against Troy. The Peloponnesus is named for Pelops. The tomb suggests that he may not have been entirely mythical.
Another location that has a special interest to both ancients and moderns is the stadium. It is basically a field with start and end lines marked off by transverse curbing. The athletes entered under an archway of a vaulted corridor at the start. Spectators sat mainly on the field's sloping flanks. The length of this field became the standard stadion, an ancient Greek unit of distance, which appears in all the geographers. The stadium has been resurrected for Olympic use with no intentional alteration of the ancient topography. Transient stands are easily thrown up and removed.
The village services the adjacent archaeological site to the southeast. The Kladeos River forms the site's western border. Visitors walk over the bridge to find themselves in front of the main gate. Full visitation is an extensive walking event. Some excavation is in progress there frequently. Moveable artifacts for the most part have found a home in one of the site's three museums.

Q: Call glGenVertexArray( ) but always return only one resource with '0' ID on android machine I am using VAO on android 2.4 OS and EGL get VAO extension successful, all VAO's function return correctly.
But when I call glGenVertexArray( ) to generate VAO resources, I always got the resource with '0' ID ( it can render correct, but I expect to use multiple vertex type with different VAO resource ID, not just return 0 resource ID to me ).
On IOS or windows OS, the VAO resource ID is increased unsigned int type ( glGenVertexArray() will return 0, 1, 2, 3 ... etc ID.
How I can solve this problem ? Maybe I forget to call any enable GL state functions or something else ?

A:
for ( _dword i = 0; i < 3; i ++ )
{

A: Have you ensured that your context is set correctly?
I had a very similar problem on iOS; if the context is not set (ie it's null), then when you call an OpenGL function, it basically says "if(context == null) return;".
So, the call "works", it doesn't crash... but it does nothing. I determined this by initialising the VAO variable to something non-zero, and observing that GL wasn't writing to it at all.
Setting the context correctly fixed it.

Just fantastic Monica! Your gorgeous long legs are shown off to perfection in your treggings, and cute little elephants are framed beautifully by your amazing red jacket! Yes to colour - and lots of it!!!
The skirt really fits you so well, and it's such a lovely combination with the red cardigan. So figur flattering and colourful, and paired with incredible boots, it's a winner! Is the skirt made to be turned inside out as well? I've seen that feature on some of their skirts, and I think it's such a clever idea!
With these outfits you've made quite an impression on everyone, if Norwegians are anything like Danes, and I believe they are :-D I constantly get comments too about my clothes, just because it isn't black or grey (although I do wear grey every now and then). Fear of colour has got to be the most widespread phobia in Scandinavia :-) Glad to see you battling it so fiercely!


One of her clients said: "Laura is not your average person. She's a terrific vet who has spent most of her career working for shelters. Shes also one of Australia's top motor bike racers. Her dancing is good enough to have been a dancer on dancing with the stars. 5 stars!"
Hi Laura. I see you are in Bali doing volunteer animal welfare work. I was wondering what are conditions like for pets and other animals in Bali, is it similar to Australia? Do the Balinese have a lot of pets like us and what are their veterinary services like.?
This is in response to how we provide suport for new graduates and veterinary students.
This is in response to Michala's questions about cat vaccinations.
This is in answer to Paulinep51.
Hi Dr. Laura. After the glamour of winning a TV dance competition and the extreme adrenalin excitement of bike racing, don't you find your day job as a vet a bit mundane?
I was wondering why I should get my cat vaccinated? And how often?
My neighbours cat vocalises as if it's in pain every so often. I have spoken to the owners and they do not seem concerned. Do you have any advice?
Was with Laura last week when she spotted a lamb trapped in a wire fence. Laura instantly vaulted out of the ute and rescued the distressed animal, before expertly massaging the legs which had been constricted and carefully placing it back with the herd. Her care and mastery was obvious.
Laura would be the perfect choice, she has knowledge, charm and the can do attitude with every thing she puts her mind to.

The United States of America's National Park Service celebrates its centennial in 2016.
Among the ways we're honoring the milestone is through the release of the spectacular IMAX® 3D film, America Wild: National Parks Adventure: Presented by Expedia and Subaru. The film presents the National Parks at their finest, capturing the wild and beautiful landscapes that provide awe-inspiring places to reflect and connect with nature. Have a look at these 12 spectacular images to get a glimpse of what mountaineer Conrad Anker and his intrepid team of explorers experienced in the parks while filming this dazzling movie.
An experienced climber, Anker climbs frozen waterfalls in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, located on Lake Superior, along the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He recently taught pop sensation Justin Timberlake how to ice climb.
The sun rises over Crater Lake National Park in Oregon. The lake, which fills a collapsed volcano that erupted more than 7,500 years ago, is the deepest in the United States (592 meters).
The sun rises over Crater Lake.
Jackson Lake in Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park reflects the mountains at sunrise. There are hundreds of kilometers of hiking trails in the park, including paths into the Teton Range.
Sky and mountains reflect on St. Mary Lake in Montana's Glacier National Park. With lakes, horseback riding and more than 1,000 kilometers of hiking trails, the park is an outdoor wonderland.
Devils Tower National Monument rises 386 meters above the Belle Fourche River in the Black Hills of Wyoming. Besides being striking to look at, it draws rock climbers from all over the world. "The biggest difficulty was just getting the camera up high on the formation," says film director Greg MacGillivray. The film crew had to climb the mountain to shoot Anker scaling the massive rock formation.
Another part of the adventurous crew, mountain biker Eric Porter jumps off a mushroom boulder in Moab, Utah. The mountain biking trails in and around Moab are among the most awe-inspiring in the world.

A friend of Anker and his stepson Max, adventurer and artist Rachel Pohl paints the hoodoos (rock spires) and other landscapes of Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. Bryce Canyon is by far Pohl's favorite Utah park.
Brown bears catch salmon in Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. Katmai is home to more than 2,000 brown bears, which like to feast on sockeye salmon in the Brooks River. See how the film crew got this epic shot.

The Colorado River carves through Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. There are many ways to see the canyon, including by raft, by foot and by air in a helicopter. Each viewpoint is spectacular in its own way.
If you're visiting Yosemite National Park in California, it's hard to miss Half Dome. It rises above the Merced River on the floor of Yosemite Valley. Get a sneak peak from the film about how a camping trip to Yosemite inspired the creation of the U.S. National Parks system.
Steam rises from the Sapphire Pool in Biscuit Basin in Yellowstone National Park. Established in 1872, Yellowstone is the oldest National Park in the United States.

Mesa Arch overlooks Canyonlands National Park. Canyonlands is one of five stunning National Parks in Utah. "I think my first distinct memory of a big trip to a National Park is going to Utah's Canyonlands around age five," says Pohl.
Experiencing these otherworldly realms of beauty as a kid gave me a sense of limitless possibilities.

Patient Speculation: Quotation Of The Week – A Duel Winner -Don't Blame The Horse!!
Quotation Of The Week – A Duel Winner -Don't Blame The Horse!!
Jake from the Bankbuilder Blog.
I have wanted to post this small but extremely powerful quote for a while now. I found it where I have found numerous other pearls of wisdom, on the Bankbuilder blog. The quote formed part of 'This Post' that Jake, the blogs author, had written in response to a point I had raised in a comment.
To me that quote sums up the reason that I started my blog and my total conviction that it is our attitude and actions that dictate whether we become successful at sports speculation (or anything thing else for that matter).
Reading forums etc there will always be someone who after a bad result blames the jockey, horse, goal keeper, referee, the weather or any other reason apart from where the true responsibility lies; themselves.
I have been that person in the past and I can state that if I had continued with that sort of attitude I would never have been able to turn my sports speculation around, don't get me wrong, I am only just setting out on my journey to becoming successful, but I am now heading in the right direction.
For an example of how powerful a change in attitude can be take a look at This Post on The Playing it Safe Blog. The comments by Dean the blogs author show how a change of attitude can lead from being a run on the mill punter to a successful sports speculator.
You really do a wonderful job with this site..alway's interesting topics that are important to the player.
Thanks for the feedback and good luck with your new challenge from April the first.
I will as always be watching.
This year has been a little un-settled as I haven't had the time to do the necessary work on a consistent basis and you know that is a prescription for failure in this game.
As of April all roads are clear for the plan to work and hopefully post every day.
Alway's a pleasure hearing from you Mark and I wish you continued success.


We had a fabulous time at the Bike Hugger Mobile Social Interbike 2009. Thanks so much to our partners Novara, REI, Globe and Dahon. We'll write more about this after we've slept a bit and get all the images into the Hugger Flickr stream, but in the meantime, here's the Flickr group of the images I shot of us riding down the Las Vegas strip and hanging out at our VIP tent course-side at the Crits.
We were thrilled to meet so many of you all (we had more than 250 people attending our booth, including Gary Fisher). We gave away a ton of schwag and raffle prizes, including Hed Wheels, Sun-Ringle wheels and a fantastic Novara bike.
This ride was by far the best part of Interbike for me, so thanks personally to everyone who made this such a great night.

With screens around every corner, in our pockets and at our desks, we have all experienced eye strain. And one of the biggest issues with it is you typically don't notice until it's already happening. But suddenly your eyes hurt, they feel tight and uncomfortable. Now you're wondering when it was you forgot to blink and how long it's been. That's what Umay Rest is designed to help with. And it has quite a few features to get the job done. The Umay Rest is designed to apply calibrated doses of heat that encourage oil release while reducing puffiness and actually cooling your eyelids. Imagine at the end of a long day, taking your Umay Rest mask and relaxing while your eyes rejuvenate. We hope to see this mask available soon.

Tanzania is perhaps one of the most iconic safari destinations in Africa. Home to the Great Migration, a spectacular volcanic crater and one of the largest game reserves in the world, it's easy to see why Tanzania sits at the top of every traveller's bucket list. From watching huge herds of wildebeest and zebra move in unison across rivers to relaxing on beautiful palm-fringed beaches, or from spotting the world's last primates in the jungle to seeing rare creatures that can't be found anywhere else in Africa, Tanzania is a breath-taking journey of wild discovery. It's every traveller's dream and it's also home to some of the most incredible national parks on our planet. Here's a guide to all the national parks and major reserves with tips on when to go and where to stay.
This huge national park, stretching 14,750 km², is perhaps the country's most famous park. Known best for its unique Serengeti ecosystem and the annual migration of more than 1.5 million white bearded wildebeest and over 250,000 zebras plus numerous other species, the Serengeti proves to be one of the most coveted safari and game viewing destinations in the world. Founded back in 1913 by American hunter Stewart Edward, the Serengeti is today one of the most abundant wildlife sanctuaries in Africa and with varied landscapes ranging from flat-topped acacias and flat plains to wild hills and rocky mountains, it's one of the most ecologically diverse places to spot wildlife. Animals include The Big Five (lions, leopards, buffalo, elephants and rhinos), giraffes, elands, impalas, Grant's gazelle and cheetahs.
Without a doubt, Serengeti National Park is famed for the annual migration. The movements can be seen throughout the year across the entire park with the best months for sightings being June and July as large herds form on the southern banks of the Grumeti River or in August during the crossing of the Mara River.
We feature a number of top camps including the Serengeti Under Canvas camp which includes en-suite facilities and the Serena Safari Lodge which has a luxurious choice of two-storey stone-built, traditionally-thatched Rondavel huts with a camp swimming pool.
The Ngorongoro Crater boasts a beautifully diverse landscape and it's just as impressive for birding as it is for game viewing. So there's something for everybody in the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation area. But aside from the thriving wildlife, just being here in this unique part of Africa is pretty spectacular; the Ngorongoro is a wonder in itself. Set deep in a volcanic crater, the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera on earth, Ngorongoro stretches around 20 kilometres from side to the other, runs 600 metres deep and measures 300 square kilometres in total! Here you have a good chance of spotting the Big Five and in total, there are 50 different species of large mammals including hippos, giraffes, eland, impala, baboons, warthogs and hyenas. There are also more than 200 bird species.
Flamingos are abundant in the crater and there's also a healthy population of black rhino. And for those who take interest in the Maasai Mara, there are two Maasai cultural bomas where you can meet the people and learn more about their unique culture.
For safari holidays in the Ngorongoro Reserve, we recommend staying at Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge which has its own spa or Gibbs Farm where you can stay in one of the 17 cottages which have been designed to accommodate families.
This small park measures a modest 330 km² and is best known for its large, healthy elephant population. It may be petite in comparison to other popular safari destinations in Tanzania but Lake Manyara has many pros, including the chance to get up close to the park's relaxed elephant groups, incredible scenery with amazing views visible from camps, great birding opportunities including flamingos, and an array of rare species which are actually very hard to spot in the bigger parks. In addition to this, Lake Manyara is much quieter than other reserves and is extremely quiet in the mornings making morning safaris simply top notch! Located close to Ngorongoro and Serengeti.
Big cats aren't easily spotted here. However, the park is well known for lions which can often be seen climbing the trees! The elephant population is also extremely relaxed and docile, and they can usually be seen very close to the park's campsites.
Stay at the Lake Manyara Tree Lodge, the perfect spot to look out for tree-climbing lions, herds of elephants and thousands of flamingos. Or stay in the Lake Menyara Safari Lodge if you're looking for a little bit of luxury and want excellent views from the infinity pool.
Covering a distance of 2,850 km², Tarangire is the sixth largest national park in Tanzania and it is crossed with the Tarangire River and is bordered by swamps to the south. Located in the Manyara Region, it's in the ideal location in the North for safari goers who want to move onto other parks in the area including Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. Tarangire is best experienced during the dry season when the area boasts bright blue, cloudless skies; visibility is at its best and the climate is most pleasing to everyone.
This park is best known for its huge herds of elephants and during the dry months (June to October), they can be spotted digging at the damp earth where riverbeds have dried up in search of underground springs.
For a safari holiday in Tarangire National Park, stop at one of the en-suite tents with spacious outdoor showers at Olivers Camp or sleep in one of the luxurious canvas pavilions at Sanctuary Swala Lodge, which have all been pitched close to watering holes for perfect game spotting.
Ruaha National Park is the country's largest national park. Measuring a whopping 20,226 square kilometres after acquiring the Usangu Game Reserve in 2008, Ruaha is now one of the most iconic and significant safari destinations in Tanzania. Up there with Serengeti and Ngorongoro, Ruaha is one of the most desirable safaris for newcomers or seasoned explorers alike and offers some of the best game viewing including 4 of the Big Five (no rhinos) with a particularly high concentration of elephants plus sightings of cheetahs, wild dogs, impala, hippos and crocodiles. Much of the park is untouched, giving visitors a truly unique and unforgettable safari experience – a great choice for an off the beaten path adventure!
As well as being able to spot 4 of the Big Five and various other game, the park is also home to the Greater Kudu which can't be spotted in any other national park. Other rare sightings may include the sable antelope and roan antelope, plus the Great Ruaha River offers sightings of different species of fish.
Our featured Jongomero camp is highly recommended for those looking to explore Ruaha National Park. Guided walks and game drives are available daily.
Set along the stunning shores of Lake Tanganyika in the Kigoma Region, the Mahale Mountains is a vast national park which covers 1,650 km² and boasts some incredibly unique natural characteristics. The terrain is mostly rugged and hilly and the area is abundant in primate activity. Other than wildlife, the park is popular for fishing and snorkelling, kayaking and water sports, mountain climbing or for relaxing on the lake's pristine beaches.

Mahale Mountains National Park is best known for its wild chimpanzee population; it's in fact one of the last places in Africa to contain such a population so if you're looking for a primate tracking safari, the Mahale Mountains makes an excellent place to come.
The best time to visit Mahale Mountains National Park is between the months of July to October when the weather is at its best and the tourist crowds are still pretty low; during these months, the chimpanzees are also easily tracked as when the weather is dry and there is little rainfall, they can often be spotted spending time on the low mountain slopes. Dry season also means that mosquitoes are few and the low humidity makes travel easy for all ages.
The Katavi National Park / Lake Victoria area offers something completely different for the seasoned traveller. If you're looking for an off the beaten path safari experience and you've conquered Tanzania's greats – the popular Serengeti for the Great Migration or the Ngorongoro Crater for black rhino sightings – Katavi National Park could be the perfect destination to give you an unforgettable trip. As the largest lake in Africa, Lake Victoria is a huge habitat for such a diverse wildlife including hippos and crocodiles which can be spotted in the water as well as elephants, giraffes, zebra, buffalo, lions, leopards and hyenas. Whilst the variety of game isn't big enough to compete with other major parks, the sightings tend to be pretty spectacular, especially with buffalo herds that arrive in their thousands.
The lake is a huge attraction at the Katavi National Park and is a fantastic place for fishing, particularly with the Giant Nile Perch which averages over 100 pounds in weight. The record weight ever caught topped 500 pounds! Special sightings here include lions, hippos and huge herds of buffalo.
Some great places to stay include the beach view Greystoke Mahale and the spacious and eco-friendly Chada Katavi.
The Selous Game Reserve is three times the size of the famous Serengeti and although not officially a national park, it is one of the largest faunal reserves in the entire world. At a vast 44,800 km², Selous is bigger than the country of Denmark or Switzerland and covers more than 5% of Tanzania's entire landmass. There's no denying that this huge game reserve is utterly spellbinding in every way and it's been said by many who have come here before that it's perhaps one of the last few places in the continent where visitors can experience that charming 'old world Africa', with many areas still being uninhabited and completely untouched. For travellers who want an authentic and immersive experience with just as much culture as there is wildlife, Selous Reserve on the Southern Safari Circuit makes an ideal choice. During the dry season, this reserve offers some of the best game viewing around and both guided walks and boat safaris are available throughout the year. Animal sightings include elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, lions, wild dogs and hyena.
Selous Reserve is one of the best places in East Africa to encounter wild dogs and lions can often be spotted drinking or cooling off along the lake shores, with the dry season being the prime time for sightings. The northern sector of the Selous is also a special place for photographic safaris so photographers will find ideal shooting locations here.
For unadulterated luxury, we recommend you stay at the amazing Selous Serena Luxury Camp or the beautiful Beho Beho Camp.
