Andrea Drotleff, of Germany, did not know the Great American Eclipse would cut through St. Louis until she received an invitation to attend Washington University's Graduate School orientation. The email promised students an opportunity to make friends, meet the dean and witness one of nature's rarest phenomena — a total solar eclipse, visible only in the United States.
Some 300 incoming PhD and graduate students attended orientation Aug. 21 at a secluded venue in Franklin County, Mo., located in the eclipse's path of totality. The day was devoted to informing new students about the Graduate School's many services and student groups. But between the lecture on local tax laws and the update on health insurance, the students stopped to marvel at the eclipse.
The group was in the path of totality for 2 minutes and 17 seconds. Nearly every student gasped and cheered at the sight of the blazing corona. But Ria Das, a computer science student from India, said she experienced a special sense of serendipity.
Das' classmate, Justin Deters of St. Louis, agreed.
How about 2024? Though Monday's event was the region's first total solar eclipse since 1442, the next eclipse is a mere seven years away.
Ryan Nickerson, a PhD student in earth and planetary sciences in Arts & Sciences, will be ready. Before the Aug. 21 eclipse, he gave a talk to the students about what they would feel (cooler temperatures — though just barely); hear (the mad chirping of crickets); and see (Mars, Jupiter and Venus).
Afterward, Nickerson said years of studying did not prepare him for the power of the eclipse.


Short debating 'extra' activities, including an activity where students try to convince tourists to go to their country.

In attempting to put together the information gathered from viewing thousands of dreams—not simply at face value, but explored in depth through the emotions and direct associations of the dreamer—a philosophy or view of life arises. It suggests that our birth as a physical and psychological being is a paradox. We are unique, and at the same time a common undifferentiated person. Psychologically we have our identity out of the lives of thousands of humans who preceded us and left the gift of language, of music, an, of concepts and information. Our mental life, our consciousness, is in some very real way formed out of what they left from their life. Our consciousness has been hewn out of the rock of possibilities by the love, the struggle and pain, the endeavour and wit of their lives. Particularly our psyche has been shaped by or modelled on our parents, and the traces in their life, unknown though they may be, of their parents, backwards for many generations.
Our identity is given to us by the humans who raise us. This sense of self arises because we are treated as if we were a self. This, with language, is the creative matrix of our self awareness.
The giving of a name is therefore a miracle which acts as a nucleus around which the many mental connections can be made which form our self image. Perhaps this is why giving the name in baptism is seen as a holy rite in Christianity.
Our conscious personality can live without ever becoming aware of its connections with other lives except as it meets them in everyday affairs. That its existence has depended upon what was given by countless other lives—that humans constantly create each other, consciously and unconsciously, through the dynamic flux of communication—might never be realised. That one's own life is also a part of this creative process, this sea of living consciousness, might never be known. Nevertheless, each individual life constantly takes pan in the collective, negatively or positively. This is not a mystical thing, but is plainly observable. From the point of view of dreams, if our life has given nothing in deed, in love, in rearing of children, in ideas or art, or in common humanity, we are dead—during life and afterwards. Giving and receiving, kinship and symbiosis, growth and decay are the fundamentals of the living process according to dreams.

Nurturing Heroism in Children
True heroes don't always appear on screen or score the winning goal
By Tracey Lothian, 11 May, 2019

Heroes. They're not like you and me, right? Actually, true heroes are regular people, and their "capes" are cut from a variety of cloths. You may be surprised to learn that heroism is actually a topic of serious academic exploration! We interviewed Dr. Jeremy Frimer, Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Winnipeg, whose research focuses on "moral exemplars"–better-known as heroes. Who are they, what motivates them, and how can we encourage heroic behaviour in our kids?
How did you become interested in heroism and who are your heroes?
As a teenager, I learned a story about my grandparents that set the stage for my own life. They had the misfortune of being Jews in Poland in 1939. They narrowly evaded capture, remaining on the run throughout the war. In 1944, my mother was born and named for victory (Victoria). Learning about the atrocities and my fortune to ever be born left a permanent mark on my thinking. As I grew into adulthood, I had a strong sense that my life itself was a gift, one that I desired very strongly to pay forward. Only, I didn't know how. In 2004, I met Dr. Larry Walker at the University of British Columbia. He is a professor of psychology, and deeply interested in understanding heroes for the purpose of raising more of them in the next generation. I pleaded with him to let me into his (overfull) course, which he did. Over the next seven years, I completed a masters and PhD with him, and found my calling. Hero development is my way of paying forward the gift that is my life. One of my greatest heroes is also one of my closest friends. He works as a humanitarian aid worker overseas, at times managing camps of a million refugees, for example. I love how he merges the welfare of others with his own personal and career ambitions.
Heroes just do more good stuff than non-heroes.
What is the difference between a heroic person and a "merely" extraordinary one?
Heroes are always extraordinary because heroes stand out. But extraordinary people are not always heroes. …Extraordinary people can stand out for reasons unrelated to what a person might see as heroic, such as athletics, business, or the arts. Few people would deny that Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga are extraordinary. But not everyone sees them as heroes. Heroes are both extraordinary and resonate with our personally held values.
By what standard is an act measured in order to be classified as heroic? That is, where is the line between everyday selflessness and something extraordinary?
I think of heroism as being in the eye of the beholder...The more a person alleviates suffering, overcomes injustice, and lives by high standards of decency and purity, the more other people will see that person as a moral hero. I see heroism as a matter of degree. I doubt that any hard-and-fast line exists between being a hero and not, aside from using the word "hero" to label a person. Heroes just do more good stuff than non-heroes.
The anatomy of a hero
What sort of larger categories do heroic acts fall into?
In my research so far, I have focused on two types: (a) a brave type is usually known for a single courageous act, and (b) a caring type is known for many months or years of service to a group, community, or cause. Of course, other categories come to mind as well, such as athletics, arts, science, and so on.
What personality characteristics are present more frequently in heroes (and less often in ordinary people?)
Heroes score higher than ordinary people on a number of personality variables. Interestingly, personality traits are not among them...Traits are thought to have a strong genetic basis, suggesting that heroism may not be so much in our nature. Heroes' defining characteristics emerge when we interview them about their lives...each person tells a unique story. Yet certain features or themes come up with everyone, to a greater or lesser degree depending on the person...Compared to those of ordinary people, the life stories of heroes have:
more themes of "agency" (empowerment, mastery, achievement, and victory)
more themes of "communion" (dialogue, togetherness, help, and love)
a more positive, optimistic tone
more themes of "redemption," where a negative event somehow gives way to a positive outcome
more recollections of the needs and suffering of others when the hero was still a child
more recollections of "helper" figures when the hero was still a child
more recollections of a secure attachment to an adult figure when the hero was still a child
Life stories are largely influenced by our upbringing and culture, suggesting that heroism is something that is a product of experience...Heroes are not saints; they come with their flaws like the rest of us.
On the surface, heroism looks altruistic...Beneath the surface, the self-interests of heroes are well-nurtured.
Is true heroism strictly altruistic or can it be partially (or even completely) motivated by selfish factors and still be considered heroic?
On the surface, heroism looks altruistic. Whether they are giving up money, risking life and limb, or taking on hardship by fighting injustice, heroes are losing something material. But I suspect that they are making up for the material loss with some kind of psychological gain. Being seen as a hero by our peers is a pretty big reward. Knowing that we acted in accord with our conscience can make a person feel pretty good. In my research, I found that motives of heroes are unique: they merge their self-interested motives with their pro-social motives in a way that suggests that the two are interlocking. Beneath the surface, the self-interests of heroes are well-nurtured.
What's the down-side of being a hero?
Recently, some of my colleagues discovered a surprising phenomenon. I used to assume that heroes would be respected and admired by the people around them. But the opposite is true. You might call it "hero bashing"...What seems to happen is that the hero reminds us of a standard of behaviour that we personally value but know that we, ourselves, fail to live up to. Wouldn't it be great if we took that opportunity to rise to the occasion? Unfortunately, that is not what usually happens. Usually, we reject the hero to restore our own self-esteem. The good news is that if people affirm their self-worth before meeting a hero, hero bashing doesn't happen.
The making of a hero
Children often admire "heroes" of certain types – sports idols and "superheroes," in particular. Why is there so much emphasis on these types and how can we encourage kids to value other forms of heroism?
Children admire people known for their skill and celebrity...whereas adults also admire people known for the good they do in other people's lives...This is odd because the vast majority of children and adults think of themselves as pro-social. Recently, I discovered that this "moral self concept" seems to not filter into people's goals, especially for children. When I ask people about their goals, the themes that emerge are more self-interested...For children, this is very pronounced, and may explain why the heroes of children are sports idols and celebrities. By the age of 35, this goal motivation is equally as self-promoting as it is pro-social. In other words, with age, people come to connect their goals with their values...I haven't yet tested this idea, I wonder if parents can accelerate this growth by asking adolescents about how their current goals connect to their own values?
To foster heroism in our children, we set an example and provide them with opportunities to find their own heroic niche.
What inspires people to behave heroically in the first place and how can we foster heroism in our children?
It may seem that people who have spent months, years, or decades making other people's lives better are acting out of a spontaneous flash of insight, and driven by altruism. But, after learning about the individual persons behind heroic lives, I've come to see how gradual and social the process really is. Future heroes have role models that serve as a template for how to live. They meet people along the way that offer them opportunities. And the heroic acts are very rarely done alone. Usually, heroes are surrounded by other heroes with a similar vision and mission. To foster heroism in our children, we set an example and provide them with opportunities to find their own heroic niche.
Can you suggest some practical, concrete ways for a parent to consciously provide opportunities, lay some groundwork or create an environment that engenders future heroes?
What parents can do is cultivate both skills and purpose in their children, without any need for connecting the two. To cultivate skills, a work ethic, and ambition, set a good example. Children take after their parents a great deal. Show interest in and encourage their goal pursuits - in school, sports, hobbies, etc. Avoid rewarding them as people ("You are such a smart person") as it tends to backfire. By rewarding their effort and the process of trying ("Excellent effort," "I like how you kept at it when it was hard"), children learn to persist in the face of difficulties and develop stable self-esteem. To cultivate purpose, (safely) share experiences with children where they can see first-hand how people act out a greater calling. This could be anything from volunteering for a local event, helping a neighbour, or volunteering at a local soup kitchen. Talk about those experiences. Encourage your child to talk about why you were there. Think of those conversations as co-authoring a first draft of the child's life story. It's that life story that will ultimately act as a moral compass down the road, harnessing skills for a heroic purpose.
Bringing up heroes
We also contacted Dr. Frimer's mentor, Dr. Larry Walker, who provided us with some useful advice for bringing up kids who are equipped with the stuff of heroes:
1. Help children understand why they should behave in a way that helps others
be sensitive to their level of cognitive and social development
use rationales, not heavy-handed rules
ask leading questions, so that they come up with the "right" answers rather than lecturing at them
engineer situations so that they "discover" what is appropriate (and so that they become self-controlled)
2. Provide role-taking experiences and promote empathy
focus attention on consequences for others vs. self-focus
encourage sensitivity and emotional responsiveness
identify emotions • engineer leadership experiences and group activity (which require children to take into account others' perspectives and interests)
expose them to the needs of others and provide opportunities to help others
encourage them in pro-social activities and goals
3. Set the moral climate with your own behavior
demonstrate openness to new ideas and people
show sensitivity to others' thoughts and feelings
express emotions appropriately (empathy, self-control)
4. Foster children's sense of efficacy, independence, and responsibility
have children meaningfully participate in family decision-making, as appropriate to their level of development
encourage an appropriate level of self-esteem
foster independent judgment and initiative; help them become good leaders
have them do things that benefit others (household chores, acts of kindness)
5. Model appropriate behaviour and reward imitation
model the behavior, label it, and explain
surround children with mentors who will scaffold their development
6. Foster your child's sense of connection with others
gradually move from a focus on family and friends...to be more inclusive of others
when people deeply feel a shared humanity (rather than loyalty to some in-group), they are more likely to help others, including strangers
7. Help children maintain a positive outlook and to find good or benefit out of challenging experiences
try to avoid a defeatist attitude in children so that they feel they can overcome difficulties … this helps to maintain initiative and persistence in the face of obstacles … often necessary in "heroic" situations

Q: Animate UITextField I need to make it so that when I click a button, the UITextField transforms left onto the view from outside the view. However, when I execute the following code, the UITextField starts off in the middle of the viewcontroller, and then when the button is clicked it transforms left onto the view from outside the view. How can I make it so that when the view loads initially, it is not seen until the button is clicked, using swift.
@IBAction func joinCircleButton(sender: AnyObject) {
    let button = sender as UIButton
    joinTextField.frame.origin.x=500
    joinTextField.frame.origin.y=100
    if (button.frame.origin.x - 75>0){
        UIView.animateWithDuration(0.5, animations:{
            button.frame = CGRectMake(button.frame.origin.x - 125, button.frame.origin.y,button.frame.size.width, button.frame.size.height)
            button.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.5, 0.5);
            self.joinTextField.frame=CGRectMake(self.joinTextField.frame.origin.x - 325, self.joinTextField.frame.origin.y,self.joinTextField.frame.size.width, self.joinTextField.frame.size.height)
        })
    }
}

A: You need to put the UITextField, or any object that you wish to hide, outside of the view by using a function called:
func viewDidLayoutSubviews()

This function is called just before the screen is loaded. It gets the sub-views ready but doesn't show them on the screen yet. So this is an opportunity to hide the UITextField from sight like so:
 func viewDidLayoutSubviews(){

 // Here is just an EXAMPLE of what I'd do with my text field, you can change this however you wish
 // The point is that I am putting it away so no one can see it at first, and then later it will show
 joinTextField.center = CGPointMake(joinTextField.frame.origin.x-500, joinTextField.frame.origin.y)

}

Now the textfield should be hidden when the view loads and then it can be animated later on.I hope this helped.

The sargo or white seabream (Diplodus sargus) is a species of seabream native to the eastern Atlantic and western Indian Oceans. It is found from the Bay of Biscay southwards to South Africa, including Madeira and the Canary Islands, the Mediterranean and (rarely) the Black Sea. Occasionally individuals are found off the Indian Ocean coasts of South Africa, Mozambique and Madagascar, and they are very rarely found elsewhere in the Indian Ocean, such as off Oman. An active fish, they inhabit the surf zone, but they may be found down to 50 m.

They consume small crustaceans, mollusks and some seaweed and coral, using their strong jaws to crush shells. Individuals can reach 45 cm, but average 22 cm.

Diplodus sargus are protandrous hermaphrodites, with individuals starting out life as males, and some becoming female later on.

It is commercially fished, with 3,713 t taken in 2008. Some are reared using aquacultural techniques. The catch is eaten immediately or marketed locally, as the flesh tastes good only when fresh.

Two US Navy submarines were named for this nimble fish,  and .

Subspecies
The species has one accepted subspecies:
Diplodus sargus cadenati (de la Paz, et al., 1974), occurs off the European and West African coasts, and off Madeira and the Canary Islands

Other former subspecies have been accepted as separate species:
Diplodus sargus ascensionis: as Diplodus ascensionis (Valenciennes, 1830)
Diplodus sargus capensis: as Diplodus capensis (Smith, 1846)
Diplodus sargus helenae: as Diplodus helenae (Sauvage, 1879)
Diplodus sargus kotschyi: as Diplodus kotschyi (Steindachner, 1876)
Diplodus sargus lineatus: as Diplodus lineatus (Valenciennes, 1830)

CHICAGO – Ava DuVernay's Sundance award-winning drama "Middle of Nowhere" is a confident, engaging drama strengthened by genuine, moving performances, particularly the stunningly good one at its center from Emayatzy Corinealdi. The movie sometimes falters due to some melodramatic, on-the-nose dialogue, but there's an honesty, compassion, and genuine quality here that's too often missing from adult dramas. It's a striking debut.

CHICAGO – Ntozake Shange's choreopoem "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf" was a landmark event in 1974, giving voice to a segment of society rarely seen on the stage. It took 34 years for a filmmaker to tackle this remarkable work in film form and Tyler Perry's "For Colored Girls" retains some of the inherent power of it source and features some strong performances in the process but never finds the narrative cohesion needed to translate it to modern movie audiences.


Introduction: AirPods is a wireless headset launched by Apple. Although it is a product launched by Apple, it is compatible with Android phones, but after all, it is not tailor-made for Android phones. Naturally, there will be some inappropriate places. Let's take a look at it.
AirPods is a wireless headset from Apple. Although it is a product launched by Apple, it is compatible with Android phones, but after all, it is not tailor-made for Android phones. Naturally, there will be some inappropriate ones. Place, let's take a look below.
First, Android phones will lose some features when using AirPods. The loss of Siri function is unquestionable, because the Android platform is not equipped with Siri at all, and users can not use the functions of custom double-click, automatic switching, simple and quick setting, checking the battery, taking off the headset to automatically pause playback, and single AirPod playback. Although a lot of features are lost, AirPods still has great advantages for Android phones, such as its Bluetooth support range is usually much larger than other wireless headphones.
For this, Android phones still have some salvation methods. For example, a software called AirBattery is installed. After pairing, AirBattery will pop up a power window. Users can check the remaining power of AirPods through it. In addition, this software can resume the function of automatically suspending the playback of the headphones. It is very practical.
However, due to the poor performance of Android's popular AAC, the audio quality of AirPods running on Android phones may not be as high as that of Apple, but it can still meet the needs of users.

Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart is a 1988 album by Camper Van Beethoven, released on Virgin Records.  It was the band's first major-label album, and was produced by Dennis Herring, the first time the band had used an outside producer.

The lineup on the album included David Lowery on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Jonathan Segel on violin, mandolin, keyboards, guitar and backing vocals, Victor Krummenacher on bass and backing vocals, Greg Lisher on lead guitar, and Chris Pedersen on drums.  It was the first Camper Van Beethoven album not to feature founding guitarist/drummer/multi-instrumentalist Chris Molla.

The album featured the band's trademark eclectic mix of musics, including folk, ska, Eastern European music, Americana, psychedelic rock, and Middle-Eastern music.  Despite this, it has a considerably slicker and more mainstream sound than the band's previous, more garage-rock oriented albums, largely due to Herring's production. The reunited Camper Van Beethoven features a number of tracks from the album in its setlists, including most of the first side, as well as "Waka", "Tania", and "Life Is Grand" from the second side.

Lowery described the inclusion of the folk song "O Death" as a tribute to the American 1960s psychedelic band Kaleidoscope, who included their version of the song on their album Side Trips.

Track listing

On the reissue, tracks 15-17 are from the "Life Is Grand" single, track 18 is from the "Eye of Fatima"/"Turquoise Jewelry" promo single, and track 25 is from the 1987 compilation At Dianne's Place. Tracks 20-24 were recorded October 14, 1988 at UMass Amherst, Amherst, MA; they and track 19 were previously unreleased.

Q: The probability distribution for the number of points in a randomly sampled area of a plane covered with $N$ points (placed with uniform probability) With uniform probability, I place $N$ points on a plane of dimensions $D_x \times D_y$ and  sample a region of area $A \leq D_x*D_y$ which has arbitrary geometry.  What is the probability distribution for the number of points in this area?  Also, as a function of the area of the region I sample, how accurately can I guess the total number of points on the bounded plane?

A: Imagine that the points were placed one at a time, independently of course. Let $P_1,P_2,\dots,P_N$ be the points, listed in the order they were placed. The probability that $P_i$ is in our set is $\frac{A}{D_xD_y}$. Call this $p$.
We want the probability that exactly $k$ of the points are in our set. The distribution is binomial, and the required probability is $\binom{N}{k}p^k(1-p)^{N-k}$.
The obvious estimator of $N$ is $\frac{D_xD_y}{A}X$. We have not worked out a measure (with proof) of its reliability.

Cube Mix Plus Review – The Best Cheap & Powerful Tablet With Windows 10?
The Cube Mix Plus is a very inexpensive Windows tablet. Even though it is cheap, it is quite powerful. Read my review to find out how good it really is.
The Cube Mix Plus is a very exciting Windows tablet from China. Its highlights are a 10.6-inch full HD screen and a seventh generation Intel Core m3 processor. We're also getting 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. Despite its powerful hardware, it is quite inexpensive at around 350 US Dollars. As a comparison: The Samsung Galaxy Book 10 usually costs around 200 Dollars more. But how good is the Cube Mix Plus in real life use? That's what you'll find out in this review.
Cube Mix Plus on* GearBest
Design & Build Quality
Even though the back is actually made out of metal, the build quality is not as high end as a Surface Pro. But it is built well and won't break easily. It just doesn't feel very high end. The transition from the metal back to the plastic frame could be a bit nicer. It feels like a typical cheap Windows tablet – well, that's what it is.
On the front are big white bezels and the back is grey. It's not the thinnest at 9.6 millimeters but not too bad either. It weighs 700 grams.
Cameras, Ports, Speakers
Cube is giving us a 5-megapixel camera on the back which is alright but not the best. The same goes for the 2-megapixel front-facing camera. It is certainly usable for Skype, just don't expect to get the best image quality. On the side of the display is a Windows button.
There are quite a lot of ports on the side. We're getting a USB Type C port and a micro USB 3.0 port. Inside the box is an adapter to a normal sized USB 3.0 port. There are a microSD card slot, a 3.5-millimeter audio jack, and a power plug as well.
On the top are a power button and next to it the volume controls. Speaking of the volume, the two speakers on the right side are actually usable. Not great, but not too bad either. They are on one side only though so you won't get any real stereo feeling.
Display: Full HD & Pen Support
The Cube Mix Plus has a 10.6-inch display which is pretty nice. It's an IPS panel with a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080. While it is not the brightest screen, it is still usable outside as long as you're not sitting in direct sunlight. The viewing angles are good and colors look nice.
Like with a lot of cheaper tablets, the display is not fully laminated. There is a 1-millimeter gap between the touchscreen and the IPS panel. It's not bad at all if you're using it with your fingers. But if you are planning to use a stylus it might look like you're not hitting an icon correctly in certain angles. The pen is optional and supports 1024 pressure points.
It seems like there is no kind of gorilla glass either. Instead, there's a pre-applied screen protector sitting on the touchscreen.
As I mentioned earlier, the build quality is similar to those of cheaper tablets. That is not the case when it comes to the internal hardware though. In fact, it is quite powerful and similar to the cheapest version of a Surface Pro 4 or Samsung Galaxy Book.
Usually, at this price, we are getting a pretty weak Intel Atom x5 chipset. But inside the Cube Mix Plus runs an Intel Core m3 of the seventh Kaby Lake generation. There are 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. If you want, you can even replace the SSD by yourself. There's a tutorial on YouTube.
Thanks to the Core m3 the Cube Mix Plus is more powerful than most tablets at this price point. That's noticeable during real-life use as well. Surfing the web in Chrome or Edge with a lot of tabs and YouTube open in the background works much smoother and faster than with a typical Atom x5 device.
Cube Mix Plus As Notebook Replacement
I used the tablet as my notebook replacement for a while. That worked surprisingly well. I even installed Photoshop and was able to work with it quite nicely. If you are handling big files with a lot of layers you might appreciate a bit more RAM though.
Editing videos with PowerDirector was possible too, I didn't notice any major issues. It even renders videos at a nice speed. It took the Mix Plus just over 5 minutes to render a 16 minute full HD video in PowerDirector with activated Quick Sync. As a comparison: The more expensive Acer Switch 3 (review) with the Intel N4200 needed just under 8 minutes.
I don't think you'll get the Cube Mix Plus as a gaming tablet, it's not really meant for that. But you can play some games occasionally. I tried Asphalt Xtreme and Modern Combat 5 out of the Windows Store. Both games ran very smoothly and graphics look great. I had to turn down the anti-aliasing on Modern Combat 5 though.
Do you like the new game Cuphead? You can play it on this tablet as well. The performance is very good at this price.
There is one downside though. When rendering videos or playing games the back can get quite hot. Even a bit too hot to hold it comfortably.
Keyboard Dock
If you like, you can get an optional keyboard dock for the Cube Mix Plus which offers a keyboard, a trackpad, and full-size USB ports. I wasn't able to review it though but according to others, it seems fine.
Obviously, you can connect any keyboard to the tablet. Either via USB or using Bluetooth. I used the Microsoft Universal Mobile Keyboard and it did work without any problems.
Windows 10 On Tablets
On the Cube Mix Plus runs normal Windows 10 that works exactly as it does on your desktop PC or laptop. So I don't have to say too much about it.
There are a couple of special features for touchscreen devices though. You can activate the tablet mode to make it easier to navigate with your fingers. For example, the start menu transforms into a start screen. Apps are usually opened full screen but you can still open two apps side by side using gestures.
As we are kind of used to from all Windows tablets, the battery life is not great. Inside sits a battery with a capacity of 4300mAh. In my battery test that lasted for a runtime of 5 hours and 50 minutes. My battery tests are always identical: I'm looping an HD video at 50 percent brightness and activated WiFi until the device shuts itself off.
In my everyday use, the battery wasn't any better. I wrote down a kind of battery diary and the one day I got a runtime of 10 hours and 40 minutes. Out of those, I used the Mix Plus actively for 6 hours and 10 minutes. During that time I mostly worked in Microsoft Word and watched some YouTube. WiFi and Bluetooth were activated.
Cube Mix Plus Review Verdict
So, what's my final verdict of my Cube Mix Plus review? Well, I actually really liked it. Considering the price, the performance is excellent and the screen is good as well. The build quality is not the best but similar to other cheaper tablets.
I don't think I can recommend it as a Surface Pro replacement. It is so much cheaper and also smaller. But I think it is a great alternative to most other cheap Windows tablets like the Lenovo MIIX 320 or ASUS Transformer Book Mini. With those, we get an Atom x5 only at roughly the same price.
The performance of the Cube Mix Plus is much better thanks to the Intel Core m3. You can even work in Photoshop, render videos and do some decent multitasking. All that is not possible with most cheap Windows tablet.
Cube Mix Plus
By Andrzej Tokarski
Cube Mix Plus Review:The Cube Mix Plus is a great value for your money. Even though it is cheap, its Intel Core m3 processor is more powerful than most similar priced competitors. Other features include a nice 10.6-inch full HD screen and a decent build quality.

Parts of a Carburetor
by Caroline Fritz
If the engine is considered the heart of a car, then the carburetor is the soul of the engine. The carburetor is responsible for supplying the right mix of vaporized fuel and air to make the engine work. It is a driver's direct link to the internal combustion engine: Push on the gas pedal and it is the carburetor's job to make the car go faster. Conversely, carburetors can be adjusted if a car is not getting enough power.
The Carburetor System
A carburetor system works on three basic principles: metering the correct proportion of fuel and air, atomization of the fuel into a vapor, and the distribution of a uniform mixture of both fuel and air into the engine. When fuel reaches the carburetor, it flows through the fuel supply pipe and into a float bowl. Fuel then flows through the fuel jet into the other side of the carburetor. This side includes an air entry point, also known as the barrel or throat, at which there is an air filter; a Venturi pipe, a tube which varies in width and the throttle valve.
The Float System
The term "float system" is used to describe a typical carburetor's operation. Fuel flows through the inlet fitting and through a seat, then past the end of the needle and into the float bowl. The needle is important because as the bowl fills up, the float pushes the needle into the needle seat, cutting off the fuel. The fuel stays constant.
The Fuel Jet
The fuel jet is also called the main nozzle. The metering jet, a calibrated opening on the bottom of the float bowl, determines the amount of fuel that will move into the engine. The metering jet opens into a main well which contains air bleeds and baffles that turn the fuel into a vapor as it moves up the main nozzle in a vacuum process, and into the Venturi pipe.
The Venturi Pipe
The Venturi pipe is so named because it operates on the Venturi effect. A vacuum is created in the pipe based on how much air is rushing through the carburetor's air entry. The narrow main nozzle moves the fuel into the Venturi pipe by means of low pressure which pulls it out of the nozzle. This spray is then pushed toward the throttle valve.
The Throttle Valve
The throttle valve is placed between the spray and the inlet pipe which leads to the engine. There are two types of throttle valves: the butterfly, which is a circular disc and the cylindrical which is as large as the inlet pipe and rotates. The throttle is controlled by the accelerator, with cables or rods attached to the throttle by a lever. Although the accelerator controls the engine speed, variations made to the throttle valve can be made to enhance a car's performance.
Types of Carburetors
There are several different types, configurations, and manufacturers of carburetors available based on what kind of performance is needed. Different configuration variations include two and four barrel types for more airflow, accelerator pumps, high-flow needles and vacuum secondary diaphragms, just to name a few. Performance carburetor manufacturers include Edelbrock, Holley, AED, Wood and Predator. Small engine carburetor manufacturers include Briggs & Stratton, Bing and Tecumseh, among others. These types include engines for lawnmowers, snow blowers, motorcycle, log splitters and pressure washers.

What is a srep file and how do I open a srep file?
When SuperREP, a compression program using the lossless data compressing technique compresses files into an archive, the compressed archive is saved using the SREP file extension and they are therefore, known as SREP files or the SuperREP Compressed Files. These SREP files greatly improve REP algorithm's compression ratios which are also found in the software called FreeArc. SREP files also help shrink file transfer sizes, therefore they are also useful for backing up data. These files make the application SuperREP distinct from other compressors as these files allow this compressor to compress large dictionaries, even larger than that of the standard amount of RAM size available and achieved by other compressors, making it a more convenient and highly preferred compressor especially for those who have large files to compress. FreeArc also supports the SREP file extension. This fast compressor packed with a set of amazing features can be used to open SREP files.

Every then and now you need cash for your business. The main objective of this report is to provide accurate and critical business related information. Over time, these merchant cash advance loans can become a crushing burden to businesses that use them, as they watch a large percentage of their daily sales volume go to paying back the advance and associated interest.
This makes the recovery of a subprime loan very risky for the financial institutions who lend these kinds of loans. If you have maintained an excellent credit score throughout and have a decent amount of money saved to cover down payments, you can apply for conventional fixed or variable interest rate loans from private banks.
To make your life easier, there are online instruments such as comparison tools, debt and repayment calculators and budget planners which could help you get a better understanding of the loan package. Chances are when you obtain government grants for small businesses, you'll also need to find additional financing to reach your financial needs.
Having filed for bankruptcy once, you should actually avoid taking big loans immediately. Down payment is usually paid in cash at the time of finalizing the transaction. There are several types of student loans that do not require credit check. Government grants for the disabled not only give money, but also offer free counseling, books, equipment, and so on. With that money, you can buy things which you have always required.
Both savings and credit card accounts can be linked to a checking account, so that whenever overdraft occurs in the checking account, funds can be transferred from the linked account to the checking account. In most of the cases, the individual and business organizations end up borrowing a credit, which they are unable to repay to the creditors.


This is one of those films I came across browsing the shelves of my local Blockbuster. I had never heard of the film prior to stumbling upon it at Blockbuster. But as we close out the year, and I get ready to release my best of 2010, I had to write something about this film because it made my list.
This is a bio film on Hank Garland. Never heard of Hank Garland? Neither had I before this film. But if I told you that he was co-writer and the guitar player on the song Jingle Bell Rock, you would certainly recognize the song and the distinctive guitar playing on the song.
Now if you research the song, you might discover that Hank isn't given a writing credit. And that is part of the story told here. Back in those days you were classified as either an artist, session player, or writer. So while Hank contributed to a song that made millions, he was paid a one time fee as a musician on the song that he helped write. The same is true for most of the songs he contributed on.
Since it's the season, why not have a listen to the actual song with Hank playing guitar.
It's not often that you see movies about the behind the scene guys. A session player who played on records by Elvis and Roy Orbison and many other country stars. But Hank is deserving of having his story told. Hank's promising career was derailed after an automobile accident that the movie insinuates was no accident. Hank had his enemies.
The film didn't have any extras, but at the end during the credits they did show pictures of Hank and Evelyn. And then at the very end they had Hank playing his famous instrumental Sugarfoot Rag. Here's Hank playing the song.
This is definitely a film I would recommend renting. You can find more at the official website and the Hank garland website.
OMG, he also so much reminded me of James Dean, and yes, Ali Larter is someone i am also sure we shall be seeing much more of, a truly beautiful woman. I had never heard of him, but thought for sure my boyfriend had, being 65 and into all kinds of music. It was an excellent movie, and was happy to read your comments that so reflected mine!

Ham radios are extremely useful devices that anyone can use. It can be used to listen to the news, communicate with people all over the world and is especially handy in case of a disaster or emergency. That's why it should be no surprise that more and more people are buying and using these devices.
And you can too if you learn how to properly use one. With that goal in mind, we've written the following guide which will help you jump right into using a ham radio and help you get the most out of the experience.
Getting Started With a Ham Radio
Step One: Get a License
Anyone can listen to Ham radio broadcasts, but if you intend on broadcasting at a specific frequency, then you are going to have to get a license. However, this isn't difficult at all and usually just requires a person taking an exam and paying a small fee. There are organizations such as the Amateur Radio Relay league can help a person with the details. And each level of license allows the user to transmit at particular wattages and frequencies. For instance, there are licenses available that allow individuals to broadcast at 100-Watts and at 1,500-Watts on either a limited number of frequencies or on several frequencies.
Amateur Ham radio enthusiasts are allocated 26 different bands which start at 1.8 Megahertz and goes all the way 275 Gigahertz. This allows users to not only talk to each other across the city but to talk to people in just about every corner of the world. And the bands allocated for amateur enthusiasts are only the tip of the iceberg. There are bands specifically designated for government use, commercial radio use and even military use. There's a whole world just waiting for the amateur enthusiasts and they can discover all kinds of bands used by their local police and fire departments, ships at sea and aircraft, too.
Of course, licensing may not be an issue if you plan on only using the Ham radio in an emergency. If you're planning on using the radio only in emergencies, then you may not have to concern yourself with getting a license right away. Although you need to keep in mind that you may still be fined by the FCC if you broadcast regardless of circumstances. And that's not even mentioning that at some point you are going to want to get a license so you don't miss out on all of the fun of broadcasting.
Like I said earlier, you don't need an FCC license just to listen to broadcasts. Many people own Ham radios just to listen to a wide assortment of channels. Using it in this way, as if it were a scanner, doesn't require anything more than owning a Ham radio and you having the desire to spend some time listening to various channels. Just be sure not to broadcast if you don't have a license because you can end up with a hefty fine, even if it were an accident.
Step Two: Have the Proper Equipment
Depending on how you plan on using your newly bought Ham radio, you may or may not need additional equipment. Many of the highly-rated models on the market today come with everything a person needs. They can include the antenna, a battery pack or other power supply, earphones and even a microphone.
For the basic Ham enthusiast who just wants to listen to channels or don't need a lot of power for their personal use, then most likely no additional equipment is required. However, for those who are looking for a little more versatility or power, some additional equipment may be needed. Below are just some of the basics that may (or may not) be needed:
Not every Ham radio comes with a power receiver and sometimes the user has to purchase it separately. If yours is such a model, then be sure to get one that will work with your transceiver. Also, make sure that it's rated with enough power to power your radio but not too much that it potentially blows a fuse. A very good power supply can be purchased for $150 or less.
Before purchasing any aftermarket antenna, make sure that it's not only compatible with your transceiver but that it will also comply with zoning laws when you mount it. A good antenna usually costs under $100.
A tuner is a helpful piece of equipment to have when using a Ham radio. It connects the transceiver with the antenna and can be used to automatically or manually scan channels, depending upon which version is bought by the consumer. A good tuner can cost anywhere from $150 to $300.
Microphone, Earphone & Keys
If the Ham radio you purchased already had a microphone and/or earphone, then you don't have to worry about purchasing one. However, some standalone transceivers don't come with these pieces of equipment, and they need to be purchased separately.
Another piece of equipment that almost always has to be purchased separately is a Ham radio key. This device, if used, allows the user to transmit messages using Morse code.
You should also familiarize yourself with some of the miscellaneous equipment used to operate the radio. This may include cables, wires and other parts that can be used to connect some of the above pieces to the radio transceiver.
Before We Sign Off
Now that you've learned about some of the best Ham radio and phone radios currently available, learned how to set up your unit to be used as a scanner or for broadcasting, and have learned what it takes to get licensed and start broadcasting, we have just one question for you:
Why haven't you bought your own Ham radio, yet? As you can clearly see, there's a whole world out there waiting to not only open up to you but are also waiting for what you have to say. So get out there and join the Ham radio community.

Babylon Berlin: Visually Stunning, Intellectually Intriguing
Not much about the Weimar Republic has been represented in popular media. (Stateside at least). But the period between World War I and World War II is made fascinatingly vivid in Netflix's latest German production, Babylon Berlin.
Inspector Gereon Rath, a WWI veteran from Cologne, comes to Berlin, delving quickly into crimes of a political nature- compromising photographs of top officials, contraband trains full of gold and poison gas, attempted coups, and secret attempts to re-arm Germany in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. The investigation of these crimes was compelling to watch, especially when the danger for Gereon and his department hit so close to home.
As a historian, I deeply appreciated the nature of these crimes as a way for the show to give a realistic window into the tensions and struggles of this transitional period, and present its audience with a narrative that goes against the grain of larger narratives that connect World Wars I and II so intimately that there is practically nothing of significance in Germany after the Treaty of Versailles except the rise of the Nazi Party. This show very deftly and very boldly flouts that historical simplification.
All of the characters were standouts in their own way, making every minute of the show valuable even without the mains on screen, but still--the mains were spectacular. Again, the historian in me reveled at the most realistic representation of shell shock I've ever seen depicted on film/tv, and the drawbacks and successes of Charlotte Ritter, who comes from less that nothing and works her way into being a first-class member of the Berlin police department. She is assertive, witty, resourceful, sensual, and a wonderful example of a working-class woman at the turn of the century.
To top it all off, Babylon Berlin is a visually striking show, pulling expertly from its source material to add authentic flavor and compelling framing to the period piece. The emphasis on the culture of Berlin, thriving on art and modernity, makes this show something really special. The scenes inside the dance halls were some of my absolute favorites - those kinds of spaces are not well represented so often, yet those are the centers of culture. Babylon Berlin nails it, and with the end of the second season (shown as one long season on Netflix) displaying so much chaos, I sincerely hope there is more of this show to come.
K. Rating: 5/5

Great review. I haven't seen the show yet (though I know I will. I just wish my German whould allow me to watch it in the original language), but I read the first book. Although that didn't really satisfy the historian in me, the plot was really absorbing and I'm sure the rest of the series will be wonderful.

Same to you! I was learning German as I watched the show, and I caught more of it than I expected I would. Didn't realize it was based on a book- off to amazon!
