This set of Polymer Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers focuses on "Kinetics of Chain Polymerization Initiated by a Free Radical Initiator ".
1.	How many initiator fragments are present in the dead polymer formed by combination mode of chain termination?
R~~~ CH2−∙CHY + YH∙C−CH2 ~~~~~R → R ~~~CH2−CHY─CHY─CH2 ~~~ R.
2.	What is the initiator efficiency in chain initiation step of free radical polymerization?
Explanation: the initiator efficiency is the fraction of free radicals actually contributing in chain initiation and is less than unity.
3.	What is the expression for the rate of chain initiation of free radical chain growth polymerization?
Ri= 2fkd[I] where f is the initiator efficiency, and the factor 2 is introduced because for decomposition of one initiator molecule, two initiator radicals are formed.
What is the initial rate of polymerization, if potassium persulfate decomposes at a rate of 2.2*10-6 m3 s/ mol?
Explanation: The initial rate of polymerization is here, expressed as, Rp=[(kp2/kt)fkd]0.5[I]0.5[M].
Assuming f=1, and substituting all the values, we get Rp as 0.0162 m3/ mol-s.
5.	What is the rate chain initiation reaction for initiator efficiency of 0.8, when concentration and decomposition rate of benzoyl peroxide are 4 mol/m3 and 3.24*10-6 m3/ mol-s-1, respectively?
Ri= 2fkd[I] By substituting the values, rate can be calculated.
6.	What is the expression for rate of termination reaction of free radical polymerization?
The factor 2 is used for the disappearance of chain radicals at each incidence of termination reaction.
7.	Consider following data for bulk polymerization, with benzoyl peroxide as initiator.
What is the initiator efficiency if initial rate of polymerization is 0.0256 m3/ mol-s benzoyl peroxide decomposes at a rate of 3.2* 10-6 m3/ mol-s-1?
Rp =[( kp2/kt)fkd]0.5[I]0.5[M] Squaring both the sides and then substituting the values given, f is obtained as 0.53.
8.	How does polymerization rate at a given monomer concentration vary, if rate of chain initiation is tripled?
Explanation: The rate equation of overall polymerization clears that the polymerization rate at a given monomer concentration is dependent on the square root of rate of chain initiation.
9.	Which order kinetics does the rate of polymer formation, in free radical polymerization, follow corresponding to monomer concentration?
Rp =[( kp2/kt)fkd]0.5[I]0.5[M] This proves that rate of polymer formation is first order in monomer concentration.

You might find this thing as something easy and that you can do on your own but whatever you have in mind it is absolutely necessary to constant an architect who will make the design and make sure that your desired output is feasible. If by any chance they happen to notice any problems with project then you can be assured that they are able to provide possible resolutions in no time. If you will proceed without asking the help of the professional then there is a big possibility that you will be spending bigger amount of money fixing the problem rather than obtaining good results. If you are still in daze as to what residential construction agency you are going to transact with then you can consider asking the help of Residential Construction in Weatherford. If you have already meet the architect then you may begin discussing things and start the remodeling project once everything is settled. You may have consider using materials that are not that durable but here is the real thing, using them might end up spending bigger amounts of money rather than saving it.

1. First, it is important that we stop rushing into relationships. I personally believe we could reduce broken hearts by 50% by learning to take our time and get to know people. We have to learn to ask the right questions and, most importantly, praying about the person you have interest in. You can't risk making emotional decisions because your feelings will mislead you.
2. 85% of all the pain we have experienced from relationships is self-inflicted. That means we hold on or enter relationships out of our past pain, unresolved issues, selfish motives, peer pressure, societal pressures, or inability to handle being single without feeling the need to have someone. When we decide to be with someone simply because of a benefit or because we desire love, so bad that we believe the first person who quote "show us", we are setting ourselves up to be hurt and disappointed over and over again. We all know the person who speaks, so highly about the "new girl or guy." They begin the relationship all "in love" then just 4-6 weeks later they are telling a new person in their life the exact words. This happens all the time; yet, we continue to learn the slogan "let go" when the truth is the person letting go maybe the problem. Not everyone is a victim of their pain; some are direct participators. Again we have to judge our self and the role we play.
3. We have to stop placing unrealistic expectations on people and allow people to be human. Now are there people who have certain issues that need to be worked out alone with God, without being in a relationship? Yes, which is why we have to take it slow and be led by God.
4. Conflict doesn't equal bad. I see this type of thinking way too often. In a lot cases conflict can lead to a deeper and more intimate relationship after the conflict is resolved. Failure is not forever and neither are human mistakes or problems. This idea that people can't have healthy conflict that may strengthen the relationship is wrong.
5. Be careful of entering into relationships with people who are quick to run, quit, give up, or walk away. This means that you want to be with people who can give you grace when you make mistakes and to whom you also can give grace. You see, we have people who expect you to accept them as they are, but as soon as you do something wrong they attack you or judge you. Truth is we will all make mistakes in loving people, but we can also grow from those mistakes to become better men and women.
6. If we run from everything that is hard, uncomfortable or not our way we will never be able to love unconditionally. Please note loving unconditionally does not mean we accept negative behavior, nor does it mean we run in every case. Again people we have to pray and discern the direction from God.
7. Examine your motives and the motives of the person you have interested in. Our motives, good or bad , speak to why we desire to be with someone. Some of us don't have pure and healthy motives for desiring a relationship; our motive is about us and not about sharing a life with someone. The opposite of love is selfishness, so when we have selfish motives for doing anything we have already sowed a seed for it to fail. It's okay to like someone and not be in a relationship with them; not every good man or woman you meet is for you to explore a relationship with. Let's stop feeling the need to be in relationship. We have to discontinue being needy because it only attracts the wrong people.
In closing, let's start walking in love and stop walking as if we are better than other people. Let's stop judging people and learn to love them learn to help people become better. When we enter relationships because of our emotional wounds in an attempt to heal the pain we should not be surprised when we get hurt. We have to date with integrity, take our time, ask the right questions, heal the root cause of our issues, pray, hear God and obey. We won't have to worry about letting go because we will be too busy holding on to unconditional love.
What advice and ideas can you provide to help foster healthy growth between men and women?
Can you explain to me where the 68% number came from? It was in the title, but where/how was that data collected? Or was it simply an attention grabber (it worked!)?
Numbers 1, 2 and 5 really resonated with me. Personally, I got married not long after my father–who I was very close to–died. That was the biggest mistake I've made in my life. Everything came to a standstill, and now, 6 years later I'm finally starting to pick up the pieces…with a child in tow.
I really appreciate your candor in presenting this raw truth! Thanks, and be blessed!
Just my opinion no real data and yes an attention grabber. I am so happy the article was able to touch you and bring more light to your own personal situation. I encourage you to continue to learn from it and help someone in similar situation.
Mr. McCall I totally agree with you that one needs to venture into a relationship SLOW and build a friendship first. I have had to learn that I am not perfect so I cant expect to attract or luck up with a Perfect Mate, I have also learn to accept people for who they are Flaws and all, and if these are flaws i can deal with and grow to understand or make the person better then i am in it until there is no more fight, My BIGGEST problem is allowing someone to except me for who i am often times us women SOME will get a guy to open up and tell us about there likes, needs, and wants in a woman and at times they will begin to mention what they dont like, so in the back of our mines if we hear something that we are capable of doing we TRY OUR HARDEST to be everything that this man wants, when with some of what he is saying shows that there is still some HEALING that needs to be done, this is when we should pump the brakes and slowly back off a little not so much bail out on them but everyone needs there time and space to really heal, and I see just from reading some of the other blogs, this is WHERE I HAVE fell short at!!
Thanks again for a GREAT article have a great day !
I am so happy you are learning a lot from the blog. We all have to understand the path to love starts with having a healthy self-love and being able to channel that into attracting the same person. Often we allow emotions and selfish motives to rule the day, thus we move too fast and fail to truly learn people. We meet the one for us on the road to God not the road without God.
In reading this blog, I have learned that I have done alot of this. I have learned that I need to venture into a relationship rather then rushing into one. I rush for my own selfesh motives. So I don't have to deal with the heart ache from the last relationship. Learning to love myself first will allow me to make wiser decisions when it comes to relationships. It also allows me to learn to comfortable not being in a relationship. It is ok to be single. Love yourself first.
I really enjoyed this blog, it really hit me about being so needy always wanting someone to love me and ending up numerous of wrong relationships. Today and everyday I'm learning to except God's unconditional Love and loving myself as well and really learning to be by myself and it's o.k.
This was a very good blog.
I don't think this is just a black issue. This happens in all relationships of all races, mixed as well. This is basically a PEOPLE issue. Thanks for the good reading!!
I've truly enjoyed reading your posts and thank you for sharing your knowledge with others. I would like to know if you have done or are doing a series on relationships outside of romantic ones (e.g. parents, siblings)? I see how some of this information may translate over to non-romantic relationships, but I'd like to see more info addressing these very sensitive relationships. God Bless!
Yeah a lot of my writings bleed over into the root causes being from family. I discuss them in my blogs and I do plan to pull out and discuss separately. The root causes of a lot of our issues come from the family…….,thus we attempt to medicate them with people outside of the family which was my issue. Like I said I will always touch on the surrounding dynamics of whatever I am writing about. In my audio series I talked about 10 minutes just on family alone. I like for people to be empowered enough to realize where the root causes are and seek the help through counseling. If you have not signed up for my free 20 day audio series …please do.
This blog bless me because I once was that needy woman who rushed into relationships and ended in horror. Today, God is making better each and everyday. Doing it GOD's way is the best way! Thank you so much for encouraging us with your blogs, I pray you find that perfect woman that would show you God's unconditional love.
Thank you Januarie…make sure share with all of your friends.
This blog is so surreal. We sometimes as females are so in love with the concept we hire the first candidate to fill the position when they were never qualified.
Well written! May I also suggest that individuals spend more time getting to know the "total" person (ie. family, friends, etc). While we all know that you can't judge a book by its cover, getting to know those in close association can also tell you a lot.
Great blog post. Boy did I experience No. 5 first hand. The first time I made a mistake in his eyes, he dumped me big time. No warning, no talking just stopped communicating with me. At first I thought something was wrong. I thought he had been hurt or something. After all, it was just a little mistake. But when he decided to announce to the world on Facebook that he had dumped me, I was flabergasted, embarassed and hurt. We got back together, but he broke up with me at least 4 or 5 more times. Always without warning or explanation. I was always walking on eggshells. After taking a closer look at this man and once all his lies came to surface, I knew it wasn't me. It was him. I got out quickly and never looked back. But it took me 18 months of healing and dating me to realize that I am worth so much more than that.
You shed light on not being so quick to walk away from someone you love for being human. AND How to properly enter into and nourish a new relationship after being hurt.
My new found love is the very opposite of my Ex and my motives with him are definitely pure. I believe his are as well. However we're both using decrement (as you mentioned) and treading lightly.
HELLO,NUMBER 7 REALLY STANDS OUT FOR ME.NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO MOTIVES UNTILL AFTER THE FACT..I CAN ADMIT IF MINE WERE NOT IN THE RIGHT PLACE WHICH CAN BRING ON SELF INFLICTED PAIN..KNOWLEDGE IS KEY..
Thanks learnt a lot from hr post and this right here is really very informative and it's so practical. Thank u so much.
I love this blog..Thank you so much..
Interesting article, confusted by percentages because they lack data, but also it is fair to say that ALL people make these type of mistakes not just Black people.

The Dark Energy Survey (DES) Project
Since 2005, a group at IFAE, alongside a group at ICE (Institut de Ciències de l'Espai) and another at CIEMAT (Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas) in Madrid, collaborates in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) international project, led by Fermilab (USA). The main goal of the project is to survey 5000 deg2 of the southern galactic sky, measuring positions on the sky, shapes and redshifts of about 300 million galaxies and 15000 galaxy clusters. Furthermore, another 10 deg2 of the sky will be repeatedly monitored with the goal of measuring magnitudes and redshifts of over 1000 distant type-Ia SNe. These measurements will allow detailed studies of the properties of the so-called "dark energy" that drives the current accelerated expansion of the universe.
To perform the survey, the DES Collaboration is building a large wide-field CCD camera (DECam) that will give images covering 3 deg2 on the sky. The camera, shown in Figure 1, will be mounted at the prime focus of the 4-meter Blanco Telescope, located in Cerro Tololo in Chile. In return, DES is granted 30% of all the observation time for 5 years (2011-2015).
Figure 1. A view of DECam, the camera being built by DES.
The three Spanish groups, financed by the Program of Astronomy and Astrophysics, which is part of the National Plan of I+D+I, will build the whole set of read-out electronics boards of DECam, and have designed three out of the four main boards: the Clock and Bias Board (CBB) at CIEMAT, and the Master Control Board (MCB) and the Transition Board (TB) at IFAE.
During 2008, IFAE finished the design of the first version of the TB, whose final design will be done at CIEMAT. IFAE then concentrated on the MCB, producing versions v1 and v1.1. After solving some synchronization issues, a first functional version of the MCB was delivered to FNAL in late 2008. It is shown in Fig. 2. The production and test of the whole complement of boards for DECam will take place during 2009.
Figure 2. A view of one of the Master Control Boards (MCB) produced at IFAE.
In preparation for the analysis of DES supernova data, some members of IFAE, IEEC and CIEMAT joined in 2007 the program of spectroscopic monitoring of the SNe found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II project, in a redshift range between 0.1 and 0.4. The group was awarded four full nights of observations in Fall 2007, which resulted in spectra of about 25 objects, including an extremely peculiar supernova, SN2007qd.
After reducing the data, producing flux-calibrated spectra that were sent to the central SDSS-II/SNe spectrum repository for their use in the common SDSS-II/SNe analyses, work started on the analysis and understanding of the properties of SN2007qd. The longer-term goal is to participate on the cosmological parameter analysis using the complete three-year data sample.
Figure 3 shows the SN2007qd spectrum taken by IFAE members three days past maximum light, together with a synthetic spectrum that reproduces the most salient features of the data. Work is continuing analyzing this and three other SN2007qd spectra available.

Q: Horizontal and vertical boxplots in same axes in Matlab I am trying to plot a set of horizontal and vertical boxplots on the same axes in Matlab R2011b. Using the usual hold on command does not seem to work; only the second set of boxplots is shown. My code is as follows:
bv = boxplot(x,yGrp,'orientation','vertical');
hold on
bh = boxplot(y,xGrp,'orientation','horizontal','position',yPos);

yGrp and xGrp, the grouping index variables are specifically set to be in the range of the y and x datasets, respectively, so that the two plots should naturally have a similar set of values. That is, my x variables spans the range 0-0.05 and my y-variable spans the range 0-1, so yGrp contains a set of categorical numbers between 0 and 1 and xGrp contains bin numbers spanning the range 0-0.05. Similarly, yPos is chosen to span the expected 0-1 range of the vertical axes.
Removing the 'position' argument in the second boxplot call or trying to use simple integer variables does not help. If plotting in separate windows my boxplots look good, but I cannot combine them. What am I doing wrong?

A: The problem is in axes limits (xlim and ylim). Briefly your 1st boxplots exist but hidden out of axes.
When you plot the second boxplot, it set its own limits ignoring the 1st boxplot. In addition, boxplot by default sets position (y values for horizontal orientation) as 1:number_of_groups, but label them according to your groups. So the ylim will be [0.5 number_of_groups+0.5].
Since your x values are between 0 and 0.05, they are not visible.
As a solution set the limits manually considering this boxplot behavior:
x = rand(10,1)/20;
xg = randi(2,10,1)/40;
y = rand(10,1);
yg = randi(2,10,1)/2;
bv = boxplot(x,xg,'orientation','vertical');
xlim manual
hold on
bh = boxplot(y,yg,'orientation','horizontal');
hold off
xlim([0 2.5])
ylim([0 2.5])

When you set position parameter it determines the values instead of 1:number_of_groups. You can set them close to the range of x.

Parky, the irrepressible front man at the store across from the Northbrook Foodland, and his wife and partner Bonnie, had retired to Northbrook when they got a bit bored and decided to open a small store.
That was 10 years ago, and since then Parky's store has become a fixture on the local scene, saving people from the region a trip to Napanee or Belleville throughout the year and serving the seasonal and tourist populations during the busy summer season.
"If you look at it on per square foot basis, we have more product on the shelves that Walmart," said Parky, when interviewed this week from the store.
When they started, Parky's was a one-room store carrying variety products, but over time two extra rooms have been added, and the product line has exploded.
"When people ask us for something and we don't have it, we keep that in mind. If two or three people ask us, then we try and get it into the store," Parky said.
This has led the store to stock items as diverse as knitting needles and inflatable summer toys, along with a large selection of fireworks, cards, and gift items.
About 60% of the store's sales takes place in the busy summer season, and 40% during the off season.
To celebrate their 10th anniversary, Parky's will be holding special draws later in July, along with other events. Just ask Parky or Bonnie about them.

You're sound asleep, finally, and suddenly the most intense and gripping pain attacks your leg. The muscle becomes hard and contracted and you either scream in pain or stifle the desire to do so. There's nowhere to go to get away from the vice-grip agony of it until if finally relaxes. The common name in North America for these cramps is "charley horse." Although they go by a wide variety of names worldwide, the pain is pretty similar, no matter what they're called.
It seems that people with fibromyalgia suffer with charley horse cramps more than those who aren't afflicted with the condition. Perhaps the reason is due to the fact that fibro sufferers are already predisposed to muscle pain and contractions. Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), an associated disorder that is common to those with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) may be a contributor. The pain of muscle spasms is very intense and those with FMS often experience them in the neck region as well as the legs.
There is no specific cause for charley horse cramps - they arrive unbidden and it seems most people have experienced them during their lifetime. However, the person with FMS is in a compromised position because of the already susceptible condition of their muscles. These cramps tend to appear most in the areas where muscles cross one another. These muscles include the calf, where the knee and ankle muscles cross; the hamstring (back of the thigh) where the muscles of the knee and hip cross; and the quadriceps, also crossing the knee and hip.
The causes of leg cramps are not known; however, there are conditions that create a higher risk for them to occur.
People who are older, over the age of 65, and adolescents tend to deal more with leg cramps. Athletes who don't stay hydrated and everyday folks who are low on certain minerals can also be bothered with them.
As common as leg cramps are, they are still something of a mystery to the medical profession. They don't require medical intervention and doing research on leg cramps is not top of mind for most researchers. Since leg cramps, especially those that occur in the night, are relatively short-lived and not life threatening, there isn't much energy that goes into explaining why they happen.
Dr. Doris K. Cope, vice chairman of pain medicine in the department of anesthesiology at the University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine said that, "It has to do with the excitatory and inhibitory pathways of the nervous system." She added that, during nighttime cramps, the muscle cells' "relax" button is disabled, meaning that no matter how much we'd like to unclench our rock-hard calf, we can't. The result is extreme pain. The action is involuntary, which means you have no control over it at all. We know that fibromyalgia is a central nervous system disorder, which could be a plausible explanation for the recurring and frequent leg cramps many FMS sufferers experience.
A low level of important minerals in the body is also implicated in the equation. Calcium, potassium and magnesium are all minerals that help muscles operate smoothly and remain relaxed enough not to cramp. Have your doctor check your levels and up your intake of these minerals if necessary.
· As mentioned above, increased intake of calcium, potassium and magnesium is helpful. However, don't take potassium supplementation without checking with the doctor. Too much potassium can cause heart problems. Instead, eating a banana or an orange daily will address your potassium needs adequately.
· Drink plenty of water. Dehydration is a primary cause of leg cramps.
· Massage the cramped muscle.
· Stretch your muscles by doing stretching exercises daily - yoga is a great way to do this.
· Warm baths or warm compresses to the leg muscles are a pleasant way to relax the muscles.
If leg cramps just don't go away, check in with the doctor. Electrolyte imbalances can be problematic and the doctor may want to do some blood work. Muscle relaxants may be prescribed if there is no escaping the cramping.
Fibromyalgia syndrome presents with a wide array of symptoms that accompany muscle pain. Learn more about the syndrome, how it affects people and how you can deal with the symptoms by reading further on this site.


Nadabo Energy alleged that solicitors of Trafigura are working to ensure justice does not prevail in the case.
Nadabo Energy Limited has urged the Police Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police Force to charge Trafigura Beheer BV to court for forgery and money laundering.
According to the charge sheet, Trafigura with six other entities came together to conspire to steal the Automotive Gas Oil, which is said to be the property of Nadabo Energy Limited, and under the legal custody of Spring Bank PLC, Victoria Island, Lagos.
In the petition written by legal counsel of Nadabo, Emefo Etudo, dated September 10, the company maintained that preliminary investigation implemented by the police revealed that money laundering was carried out, but expressed shock it was not among the charges filed against Trafigura.
Nadabo also alleged that solicitors of Trafigura are also working to ensure justice does not prevail in the case.
The lawyers, identified as Babatunde Fagbohunlu and Adeniyi Adegbonmire, were said to have aided Trafigura to forge documents to carry out the transaction without being apprehended by the law.
"Adeniyi Adegbonmire colluded with Adekunle Gansallo and some others and forged and uttered documents in an attempt to assist Trafigura as aforesaid.
"Babatunde Fagbohunlu of Aluko & Oyebode in his scheme was involved with obstructing various platforms of Federal Government put in place to do justice over the Trafigura subject matter fraud against Nadabo," Etudo noted.
Nadabo asked the Police SFU to further investigate the actions of the lawyers in the deal and ensure they were brought to face justice.
Etudo maintained that it would produce documents to back his claims in seeing that Trafigura together with its associates are made to make up for the damages incurred by Nadabo.
The matter is set to come up for hearing on October 22, 2018.

In this comic western, con men Sam Longwood (Lee Marvin) and Joe Knox (Oliver Reed) team up in order to even an old score with their former partner, Jack Colbey (Robert Culp).
I can't say that the picture is a success, but fans of bawdy comedies will appreciate at least some of its choices.
Another stupid western I saw on TV one day, I hated it, it's too boring.
Even at an hour and three quarters this seems to go on forever.

Ecotality to Build, Install Charging Stations in China
The Scottsdale, Ariz.-based electric vehicle fast-charging startup gets a $2 million from a Chinese technology investment firm, as well as backing for a $15 million plan to make and install its charging stations in China.
Jeff St. John July 06, 2009
Ecotality may be installing its first electric vehicle charging stations in its Arizona backyard, but it's also targeting the world's most populous nation – China.
The Scottsdale, Ariz.-based startup said it plans to build and install its car charging stations in China as part of a $15 million joint venture announced Monday with Shenzhen Goch Investment, Ltd.
The investment holding company will start off with a $2 million investment in Ecotality, matched by $500,000 from Ecotality's institutional shareholders, the companies announced. Separetely, Shenzhen Goch intends to put $10 million into a manufacturing facility and another $5 million into sales and marketing of Ecotality's systems.
That could open up a big new market for Ecotality, though it's likely not the only electric car charging company eyeing China as a prize.
Most of the early plans to build those networks have been in North America and Europe (see Volvo and Vattenfall in Plug-In Joint Venture and Toyota's Plug-In Prius Heads for France).
But according to Pike Research, China is set to take the lead in electric transportation by 2015, with 47.8 percent of an expected $1.9 billion industry.
China is already a hot spot for making next-generation batteries for electric vehicles, and Chinese automakers SAIC Motor Corp. and BYD have electric vehicles in the works (see SAIC Accelerates in Chinese Electric-Car Market).
China is also seen as an attractive manufacturing location for foreign electric automakers looking for cheap labor and potential access to local markets (see All-Electric Car From U.S.-China Alliance to Arrive in 2010). Companies targeting the electric scooter and motorcycle market have also shown interest (see High-Tech Lead-Acid Batteries for China's Electric Scooters).
The Chinese government in September announced plans to build car-charging stations throughout large cities including Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin.
How Ecotality and Shenzhen Goch's plans will play out in relation to the growth of China's electric vehicle market remains to be seen. Ecotality has just begun in earnest its plans for on-the-ground charging networks, although it has been working on electric vehicle charging for more than a decade.
In March, it announced plans to build a network of its car charging stations on roadways between the Arizona cities of Phoenix and Tucson in partnership with Nissan (see Ecotality and Nissan Team on EV Charging Tech and Green Light post).
Nissan is also helping the Chinese government plan ways to popularize electric vehicles through the Renault-Nissan Alliance, by the way. It's something Nissan also is doing in Japan, Israel, Denmark, Portugal, Monaco, France, Switzerland, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States (see Green Light post).
Nissan also has a joint venture with Chinese carmaker Dongfeng Motor Group Co., and plans to start selling electric cars in China by 2012. Monday's announcement didn't mention whether Ecotality's efforts in China would be linked with Nissan, however.
Ecotality, through its subsidiary Electric Transportation Engineering Corp., also is working on a charging network plan with Canadian utility BC Hydro. And last summer it joined in a demonstration project with charging software developer V2Green, which was later bought by smart grid software startup GridPoint (see Prepping for Plug-Ins to Hit the Grid).
Ecotality's fast-charging system, which it claims can charge a car in 10 minutes or so, comes from Edison Minit-Charger, which it bought for $3 million in 2007. It also spent $3 million that year to acquire Innergy Power Corp. which makes batteries and solar-powered chargers (see Ecotality's Buying Spree Continues).
Meanwhile, electric car charging startup Better Place is hoping to bring its alternative model of swapping depleted batteries with charged ones to roadways around the world.
The Palo Alto, Calif.-based startup has deals to deploy its networks of charging and battery-swapping stations in Israel, Denmark, Australia, Canada's Ontario province, Hawaii and California's Bay Area (see Better Place Grabs €103M, Names New Danish CEO). It demonstrated a test battery swapping station in Japan in May.
Campbell, Calif.-based startup Coulomb Technologies has installed a few of its own charging stations in San Francisco, San Jose, Walnut Creek and Sonoma County. The stations are part of a plan to bring about 40 charging stations to the state this year. It also has plans to install them in Chicago, Oregon, Belgium and Amsterdam (see Green Light post and Coulomb Bags $3.75M for Electric-Car Charging).
And then there are a host of projects investigating ways to integrate car charging stations with the power grid (see A V2G Test: Pool Electric Cars for Grid Needs).

Ancient and Modern Architecture, consisting of Views, Plans, Elevations, Sections, and Details of the Most Remarkable Edifices in the World: edited by M. Jules Gailhabaud. Series the first, Royal 4to. London, Firmin Didot et Co. 1844.
This work has been published with the praiseworthy design of offering science in a popular and inviting form. While furnishing pure and correct examples of the architectural styles of different peoples and different ages, it forms at the same time a handsome ornament even to the drawing-room table. It is particularly calculated to give wide and general views to popular readers, by leading to habits of comparison, and for this reason it is especially deserving of encouragement. The drawing is correct, and the plates are beautifully executed. It ought to be stated that the work was originally published in France, and that the plates are the works of French artists; the text, written by some of the most distinguished of the French antiquaries, has been translated into English, with the addition of a preface by professor Donaldson. The volume we have before us forms the first series, or year, and we have also received five parts of the second year, which give promise of a volume fully as interesting as the first.
The subjects in the first volume commence with the Indian temples. It is remarkable that the most durable monuments of the far east were temples, while those of the west which have lasted longest are its tombs. Several plates are devoted to the wonderful temples of Elora, excavated from the solid rock, which, although they are placed first in the series, are probably not much older than the commencement of the Christian era. They hold the position here given to them by their primeval character, rather than by their early date. The Egyptian style is illustrated by interesting details of the little temple of Ebsamboul, one of the most remarkable monuments of that singular country. From Egypt we are led to the primitive monuments of Persia, which are illustrated by the celebrated tomb of Nakshi-Rustam, and by some details from the ruins of Persepolis. There can be little doubt that the tomb of Nakshi-Rustam was the burial-place of some one of the early Persian kings, and it is supposed to be that of Darius, described by the Grecian writers.
From these eastern monuments we are brought to the primeval monuments of the west, which are here divided into Pelasgian and Celtic. One of the most remarkable examples of the former has been discovered in the small isle of Gozo near Malta, of which several views and ample details are given in the volume before us. It is interesting as furnishing a more perfect specimen of a building which appears to bear some analogy in form to the supposed circular temples left by the earlier inhabitants of our islands. The selection of Celtic monuments engraved in the present work is especially interesting to the English reader, because they are all chosen from examples in Brittany, and afford the means of comparison with similar monuments in our own island. The Celtic monuments consist entirely of unornamented stones, of colossal dimensions. A single stone, or Maen-hir, at Locmariakar, was, when unbroken, sixty-five feet in length. These monuments have always been objects of reverence among the lower orders, and they often bear marks of the superstitious worship of the peasantry in modern ages. "Near Joinville (Meuse), there is a maen-hir remarkable for a Roman inscription, at about two-thirds of its height. It consists of the words Viromarus Istatilif; Viromarus son of Istatilius, and was evidently engraved long after the erection of the monument. . . . A few maen-hirs have been found covered with rude sculptures, but these decorations were doubtless added at a later period. There is a stone of this kind near Brecknock, in Wales; it is called the maiden stone, and bears a rude carving of a man and woman in high relief. But notwithstanding all that has been said on this subject, we do not think it possible a single specimen of carving on a Celtic monument can with any certainty be attributed to the Druids; of course we do not consider as sculptures a few hues or shapeless ornaments, scarcely visible, which may be seen on some stones of that epoch." After having shewn how, in the earlier ages of Christianity, these monuments of paganism were doomed to destruction, and great numbers must have perished, the writer of this article proceeds to state the feelings with which they were subsequently consecrated to Christian purposes. "At last the epoch arrived when Christianity, become more tolerant from the fact of its triumph being no longer doubtful, condescended to appropriate the monuments of polytheism, and converted the Roman temples into churches. The lower orders had been accustomed to perform acts of devotion at the foot of the Druidical stones; so instead of throwing these down, they were sanctified and consecrated to the worship of the true God. Sometimes the maen-hir itself was hewn into the form of a cross, as one of those near Carnac; sometimes one or more crosses were cut upon them, as on that of the Mountain of Justice on the road from Auray to Carnac; at a more recent day, crosses and religious symbols were sculptured upon them in a more advanced style of art, as those on the maen-hir of Ploemeur (north coast), which can scarcely be older than the sixteenth centmy." The numerous figures of the Celtic monuments of France given in this first volume, and in the parts published of the second series, are extremely valuable.
The monuments of primeval architecture, however wonderful by their mass, or interesting by their associations, have little of real beauty and are totally deficient in purity of taste. These important qualities first present themselves in the works of the Greeks and Romans, which are here illustrated by views and details of the elegant temple of Segesta and the noble Parthenon, and of the amphitheatre of Nismes and the arch of Trajan at Benevento. We are then introduced through the Roman basilicas to the Christian architecture of the middle ages. The succeeding subjects are the basilica of St. Clement at Rome, the existence of which may be traced from the fifth century; the church of St. Vital at Ravenna, begun in the sixth century, a good example of the Byzantine style; the Catholicon, or cathedral of Athens, another early example of the same style; the church of St. Mary at Toscanella. a beautiful example of the earlier ecclesiastical architecture of Provençe; the cathedral of Bonn, a specimen of the style prevalent in Germany at the beginning of the thirteenth century; the mosque of Ibn Tûlûn at Kairo, said to have been completed in 878, a valuable specimen of Saracenic architecture; and the cathedral of Freyburgh, an imposing monument of the Gothic style as prevalent in Germany. All these form very excellent studies, and the outline will naturally be filled up by other examples in the two following volumes; for it appears by the preface that the whole work is to extend to three volumes.
This volume concludes with two specimens of modern buildings, the church of the Invalides at Paris, a work of the age of Louis XIV., and the Halle-au-Blé, or Corn Exchange, with its remarkable dome of cast-iron, executed in the earlier part of the present century.

Tendra Spit is a sandbar in the Black Sea and part of Kherson Oblast in Ukraine.

The island serves as a separation of the Gulf of Tendra from the Black Sea and is located at the southern and western part of the bay. In the west the island has a spit Bili Kuchuhury which, stretching east through the Gulf of Tendra as a shoal, reaches the Yahorlyk Kut peninsula. Bili Kuchuhury has the Bili Kuchuhury Lighthouse.

Tendra Lighthouse is also on the island.

I have a big pile of tenor drums, snare drums and field drums to repair. All have calf skin heads, and are rope tensioned.
Just like doing the job, it is difficult to decide where to start. All of the drums have something broken, missing or worn out, so whilst waiting for materials to arrive, I just started doing what I could.
There are two drums like the one above which I am changing. The maker has used the wrong type of rope. These drums are often to be used on stage as a period prop, the rope used is a 16 strand weave which is modern. I'm not sure what the material is, (I know what it isn't) but it is thin, course and aggressive (just like me!) So I can modify the counter hoops to accept the same diametre rope as all the other drums.
There are two drums that require some sort of aesthetic treatment.
The drum on the left has just been really badly painted, the drum on the right, well it's just hideous! Both need to painted so they look more natural – brown then.
According to the man at the Dulux shop (I only use Dulux oil paints) who has worked there for 22 years, he has never mixed up brown paint. I'm not surprised, the previous owner of my house liked brown – I have it on all the skirting boards and doors, and yes it does look horrible. Because of this, there are only three shades to choose from, so I went with hazelnut which was actually the only one close.
To break up the brown and make it look a bit more natural, I used black to replicate knots and grain.
For now, the paint has to dry, and rope has to arrive, so in 1249: Ropey Drums (pt2) we will see a lot more knots.


NEW YORK -- For five innings, Brandon Beachy cruised through the Mets' lineup. The lone blemish on his ledger to that point resulted from a throwing error by shortstop Andrelton Simmons that ultimately cost the Braves a run. With no outs and a runner on third in the sixth, though, Beachy's night took a quick turn that prompted postgame second-guessing.
"It might've been a strike, but I don't think it was up. I didn't hang it," Beachy said. "It was a decent pitch. Maybe I should've thrown it in the dirt, I probably should've. But he hit it, hit it hard. That's what happens."
Beachy threw a changeup over the plate that Marlon Byrd turned around for a two-run home run that gave New York a four-run lead, spoiling what was a superb start from Beachy and helping to send New York to a 5-3 win over the Braves. Atlanta scored three runs in the seventh inning, but it wasn't enough to complete a comeback. The Braves are now 7-8 against the Mets this season.
Of his five starts for Atlanta in 2013, Tuesday's was certainly one of Beachy's best until Byrd's home run. Beachy allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits with four strikeouts over six innings. Beachy, who underwent Tommy John surgery in June of last year, didn't walk a batter yet took his first loss of the season.
"Going through it, I could tell you I'm about two pitches away from having those five starts pretty much how I'd like them to," Beachy said. "I can't have those two pitches back, one of them being tonight."
Aside from that one pitch to Byrd, Beachy built a solid performance.
Eric Young Jr. led off the first inning with a ground ball to shortstop. But Simmons' throw to beat the speedy Young was offline, allowing Young to reach. Young then stole second and scored on a single by Ike Davis to give the Mets a 1-0 lead.
From that point on, Beachy was in control. After Davis' single, Beachy retired the next 10 New York batters he faced.
"I was hitting spots. When I'm hitting spots and getting ahead, putting guys on their heels a little bit, mixing it up well, I'm pretty effective," Beachy said. "But I just kind of ran into a buzz saw there in the sixth inning."
That's when his stellar performance lost its luster.
Again, Young was in the middle of making that happen. He bunted the ball hard past Beachy to Simmons at shortstop for a leadoff hit. Beachy then allowed a single to Daniel Murphy that put runners at first and second.
Young and Murphy attempted a double steal, but Braves catcher Brian McCann's throw to second baseman Paul Janish was offline and the ball trickled into center field. That allowed Young to score from third to put the Mets up, 2-0. Murphy took third on the error.
Byrd then hit Beachy's offering on a 2-2 pitch for a two-run shot. Beachy retired the next three batters he faced, but the damage was already done.
The Braves, who were without Justin Upton after he was scratched with a left upper back strain shortly before first pitch, couldn't put together much offense against Mets rookie starter Zack Wheeler through the early part of the game.
"I felt pretty comfortable against them," said Wheeler, an Atlanta-area native. "It's really no bash on them, but it's an easy game plan."
Wheeler couldn't pinpoint the exact reason why preparing for the Braves is so easy. He said he had ample, detailed video and scouting reports on Atlanta's hitters, and said it also could be that the Mets see the Braves so often. Whatever the reason, Wheeler was effective almost all night long.
"Zack threw well tonight," Jason Heyward said. "He was kind of 'wild effective' around the plate, explosive fastball."
But Atlanta's lineup broke through in the seventh inning.
With two outs, Wheeler allowed a double to Janish and then walked pinch-hitter Joey Terdoslavich and Heyward to load the bases. Mets manager Terry Collins removed Wheeler and brought in Carlos Torres to pitch to Simmons.
Simmons hit a double to left field that cleared the bases and cut the Mets' lead to 4-3. Mets shortstop Omar Quintanilla's relay throw home sailed high, allowing Simmons to take third, but he was stranded there when Freddie Freeman flied out to left.
New York added another run in the eighth when Davis hit a long home run off Luis Ayala.
"Offensively, that one inning we got right back into it and thought we had a game there," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said, "but Davis, that solo home run there -- a two-run cushion is a little different than a one-run cushion."

Q: How to record H.264 video source directly to file in Windows.Media.Capture I want to develop a Computer Vision algorithm that takes webcam video as input. For this I need to record a training dataset of videos in the same format as the images I'll be getting in production.
I'm concerned that encoding video files in a lossy format, then decoding them for training will degrade and otherwise change the training images so they won't be exactly the same as the images I'll see in production.
Now, I see that my webcam (running on Surface Pro 3) has H264 video sources and YUY2 video sources.
So I figure – the H264 is the source of the images and the YUY2 are probably decoded images. If I record the H264 directly to a file, and later decode that file, then the decoded images will be equivalent to what I'd get from the YUY2 video source. I did not encode new video thereby changing it, but rather used the source H264 – which was already encoded.
My questions are:

*

*Is this assumption true? Is the H264 feed the source and YUY2 the product of that source? How can I check?

*How do I record from the H264 video source directly to files without decoding and re-encoding?
I'm using the new Windows.Media.Capture API – but I'll use other APIs if necessary.

A: So if I understand you correctly, you're saying that the webcam you have exposes two different possible streams: an H.264 encoded stream and a YUY2 encoded stream. Your assumption is that the webcam exposes the h.264 feed as it's primary format and then decompresses it into the YUY2 format.
This is most certainly not the case, the YUY2 format is the raw data that is captured by the webcam and the h.264 feed is the compressed format of that data. So you can rest assured that it is not lossy.
There are some examples out there that describe how to write the data to file.

A: Surface Pro 3 (unlike Surface Pro 4 by the way) is equipped with a camera capable of H.264 hardware compression, which is the reason you are seeing both YUY2 and H264 as available options.
It is the camera which compresses video, so YUY2 is the raw feed and H264 is its derivative.

Is this assumption true? Is the H264 feed the source and YUY2 the product of that source? How can I check?

No, it is the opposite.

How do I record from the H264 video source directly to files without decoding and re-encoding?

Read H264 and route it to the multiplexer to produce MP4 files with H264 video track. It is definitely possible with Windows Media Foundation's Source Reader and Sink Writer, possibly also with Media Session API, and I am not sure about Windows.Media.Capture which is presumably a layer on top of the mentioned.

A: You can check CameraFrames sample from the UWP SDK: https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/master/Samples/CameraFrames
Basically, it creates a MediaFrameReader for the webcam and subscribes to it's FrameArrived event. You should have access to the H264 frame there and feed it to a Sink Writer for instance. Or use MediaCapture.StartRecordToCustomSinkAsync, where you need to supply your custom IMediaExtension media sink. Check SimpleCommunication sample: https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/master/Samples/SimpleCommunication


A small city in France had a problem: their transit system was failing and it was expensive to run. Their solution was to make ridership free for all, and it has turned out to be a success that other cities are looking into.
The motivations for making a transit system free are obvious. Increased ridership can relieve traffic, improve the environment, boost the system's efficiency, give residents more spending money, help the poor, and rejuvenate central business districts. Unfortunately, the Châteauroux report contains little large-scale analysis of the effects of the system.
But as it turns out, the change nearly paid for itself. Forty-seven percent of bus-goers were already riding for free, and tickets covered only 14 percent of the city's transit expenses. By slightly increasing the transit tax on big local businesses while eliminating the costs of printing, ticket-punching technology and the human infrastructure of ticket sales, the city turned a profit on the transit system in '03, '04, '05, and '07. Since '08, returns have not been as positive, though the report attributes that to a shift in control from the city to the region.

Only 27% of all managers expect consumer-directed health care plans would actually improve employee health and wellness, a survey finds.
Yet the vast majority of top executives and human resources managers think consumer-driven health care plans will help them contain health care costs.
Among chief executives in 283 firms surveyed by OnLine Benefits Inc., Uniondale, N.Y., 83% of chief executives and 78% of chief financial officers thought CDHC plans will help them control medical expenses, while 72% of HR managers and 65% of benefits managers thought the same.
Of all managers surveyed, 33% expect CDHCs will confuse employees, with benefits managers (40%) most concerned and CFOs (22%) least concerned.
Among all respondents, 66% thought employees will need a lot of support in using CDHCs, both when getting started and later. Only 26% thought employees could manage benefits on their own, given the right tools.


Come as yourself, leave as more of your Self.
Qoya is a movement and embodiment practice for women that brings together the wisdom of yoga, the wildness and creative expression in dance, the freedom of feminine movement, sacred community, ritual, fun and more!
It gives us a chance to really slow down and connect in with our bodies and oursleves. Qoya focuses less on how it looks, and more on how it feels; there is no way you can do it wrong, and the way you know you are doing it right is that it feels good and true for you! It is based on the principle that everything is within and encourages us to explore life as a dance.
Qoya trains women to use movement as a way into their bodies to access their inner wisdom, to express their creativity, and to feel the freedom to revel in not only their bodies, but in their lives.
Rochelle Schieck the founder of Qoya expresses that it is less about learning how to do Qoya and more about unlearning the idea that we don't know innately how to move our own bodies or that our own experience of our own bodies is somehow not trustworthy.
Next class – April 4th: Animal Allies, Snake – Come dance with the serpent, with letting go, with shedding the old skin, with feeling the pulse of life, and being deeply rooted to the earth.


The xerogel p-anisidinepropylsilica was obtained. This solid presents some residual paraffin and also a small fraction of high organofunctionalized material that was leached in polar solvent. The xerogel purification could be achieved by exhaustively washing with hexane and dichloromethane solvents, or submitting the xerogel to thermal treatment up to 300 ºC, in vacuum. The resulting purified xerogel material present an appreciable thermal stability and resistance to leaching by solvents.

The recent reports of Jaundice deaths in Shimla turn to be worrisome for health officials in Himachal Pradesh.
Until now, three deaths have been reported and all of them were women who delivered babies recently. The latest death was of a 25-year-old mother, who delivered a baby in Kamla Nehru Hospital on February 13 and was diagnosed with jaundice on February 15.
'Jaundice targets expectant mothers and till now three new mothers have succumbed to the disease in Simla.'
She was referred to Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital (IGMCH) but, unfortunately, succumbed to the disease.
"She was a resident of Sanjauli area of Shimla and brought to IGMCH. She was in much pain as she had undergone Cesarean operation for delivery and got Hepatitis A and E soon after," said Ramesh Chand, IGMCH senior medical superintendent.
Himachal Pradesh jaundice surveillance officer Dr. Rakesh Bhardwaj said, "Two of the three women had delivered their child in Kamla Nehru Hospital and one in PGIMER, Chandigarh. When they were diagnosed with Hepatitis E, they were admitted in IGMCH and died during treatment."
As of now, 1,513 jaundice cases have been reported in Shimla from December with 13 new jaundice cases. The civic authorities are suspecting that contamination of drinking water with sewage could be the reason behind the disease spread.

En BE 939 Don Lord agnoskis sian gramatikan peketon indikitan de Joe Marns, sed ili ambaŭ ŝajne ne rimarkis la dubindan ĝustecon de la vortoj mem "konatiĝi kun" por doni la sencon "to become acquainted with, to get to know".
Unue, "koni" estas transitiva verbo, do laŭ PV (p.186) "konatiĝi" estas simple superflua formo de "koniĝi", kaj due, la formo "konatiĝi" donas eĉ pli evidente ol "koniĝi" la sencon "to become known, ne "to become knowing" (to "get to know").
Do, logike, laŭPVe, oni uzu "kon(at)iĝi" en frazo tia: "La krimulo kon(at)iĝis al/de la polico" ("…became known to the police"), kaj por la gramatike inversa senco "to become knowing about, to become acquainted with, to get to know about" oni uzu aŭ "konantiĝi pri" aŭ pli simple "ekkoni (pri)". La vortparto "konatiĝi kun" ("to become known with") estas tuta mallogikaĵo por "to get to know (about)", eĉ se sanktigita de kutimo.
Kaj tamen, laŭ mi, "konatiĝi" signifas "iĝi konata", kiu tre diferencas de "iĝi kona". – Red.

Chancellor is finalist for college presidency
At a time when America faces war with Iraq and the ongoing war on terrorism, one would think most students would know at least where the nations involved in United States foreign policy are located on a map. However, a recent survey done by the National Geographic Society proved this wrong.
UW-Eau Claire Chancellor Brian Levin-Stankevich is one of four finalists for president of Westminster College, a small private liberal arts school in Utah, according to an email sent last week from Levin-Stankevich.
Westminster College announced the finalists on March 7 in a press release, stating the search for a new president attracted a diverse and highly qualified group of candidates from across the country, as well as internationally.
During his time at Eau Claire, Levin-Stankevich both initiated and led the planning of new academic programs and obtained funding for three new construction projects totaling $100 million, including the new W.R. Davies Center.
In his email sent to campus faculty, staff and student government organizations, Levin-Stankevich said although he receives many invitations and nominations for similar positions, he routinely declines them.
"The invitation to consider the presidency of Westminster College was sufficiently attractive academically, professionally and personally to warrant my further exploration,"
In a letter of interest to the search committee posted on Westminster's website, Levin-Stankevich expressed his frustration with the political and public funding climate in Wisconsin. He wrote that it is his belief that private institutions are most able to focus first and foremost on education and their true missions.
In his email to the Eau Claire campus community, Levin-Stankevich said he will continue to serve, promote and work on behalf of UW-Eau Claire.
"I am extremely proud of our history and our continuing accomplishments in a difficult external environment," he wrote. "This in no way diminishes the deep admiration and attachment I have developed for this great campus and community."
