The outrigger and belt truss system is the most commonly used lateral load-resisting system for high-rise buildings in which the external mega columns and core walls are connected via outriggers and belt trusses. The shear studs, which are used for the connections between the outriggers and the core walls, are subjected to pull-out loading because of the lateral load. Although various types of shear studs have been developed based on analytical and experimental studies, most previous studies on the behavior and strength of shear studs have been based on push-out tests. It is necessary to verify the structural performance of shear studs subjected to pull-out loading before their field installation at the connections in the structural system of high-rise buildings. In this study, experiments were conducted on full-scale pull-out test specimens made of materials having the same strength as those used in an actual high-rise building structure. The experimental results show that the shear strength of the connection can be improved by approximately 7.9% using double-headed studs instead of normal-strength studs.

Actually I prefer imitation lard. Its way better than that healthy crap.
Did Neil Patrick Harris pick up the tab for you?
Should have just made a castle out of it. Since, you know, you're at White Castle.
Looks like the Renaissance Center in Detroit.
Don't let the TERRORISTS see it!!
A good thing I just ate. That would have made me hungry, and there are not White Castles around where I live, the poor replacement is Krystal's.
But hey, I grew up with WC, not K.
It pales into insignificance beside Vader's White Castle Of Fear!
Far cry 2 keeps freezing for 10 seconds at a time. I thought it was because of shadows because it would lag 10 times in a row when I viewed the shadows on the wall till I turned them down.
I turned all the video setting to low, other than 1440×900 resolution and that worked for a while.
But then it even froze for 10 seconds after that.
It's only happening in far cry 2 – no other games.


It's getting increasingly today's to compare Macs and PCs (even though doing it objectively has yet to capture on). And in case you're buying a laptop to bring to high school, it's a query that you may locate yourself dealing with. And while I can't claim to be a professional, I can provide my very own-quite simple-guidelines.
Before you start buying around, make a listing of all the things that you want your computer to do. Then make any other listing of the stuff you need it to do. For example, you may need your laptop with a purpose to type and print your papers. You may additionally need speech-to-kind software so that your laptop will dictate what you are saying to it. Try to think of as many needs as feasible. You'll want it with a view to connecting to the net (the capability to connect wirelessly can be a want, and it is able to be a need-it relies upon to your university's community). It has so one can help the software program you'll be the use of (like Microsoft Office or OpenOffice). Try to think of any uncommon conditions you are probably in.
Once you've created the list, move speak to an expert. Head to you nearby electronics shop and show your list to someone knowledgeable about computer systems, and hash it out with them. Laptop or laptop? Mac or PC? The latest, modern day, and best, or remaining year's version to keep some cash?
These are the varieties of things that you should fear approximately earlier than you decide based totally on Mac or PC. If you find that both will satisfy your requirements, and the rate is not a big trouble, you can simply determine primarily based on what you believe you studied you will like extra (or aesthetics or some thing you need your choice based totally on). It's whilst you get into more specialized things that it is able to get tough.
Are you a math most important? You'll probably want your computer to run Mathematica. Or in case you're studying picture design, you may want Quark or InDesign. And while most programs can run on either Mac or PC, they'll do better on one than the other. Ask round and find out. Macs were recognized to run the picture, audio, and video modifying software program very well. PCs are awesome for company-type things as well as networking. Which is greater crucial to you? That depends on the listing you developed in advance.
When it without a doubt comes all the way down to it, the significant majority of college students might be satisfied with both a Mac or a PC. (I realize that there are numerous human beings accessible that bear in mind this assertion near blasphemy – loosen up!) There are only a few things you may do with one that you can't do with the other, and now not very many students desire to do any of these matters. Ask your buddies about their experiences with both, consult your listing, and go along with a PC that you're stoked on.
When you enjoy the problem for disconnecting your iPod from the computer, by no means fear, it's far just a smooth problem that could without difficulty be fixed.
Before disconnecting iPod from the PC, the user must want first to properly eject it. The unsuitable disconnection of iPod from PC at the same time as it's far in use can motive to harm the data saved in the iPod or even can purpose damage to the tough disk of the laptop.
– Close all of the opened packages and cease all the ongoing method which could contain the iPod. While you iPod remains connected with the laptop, and you did not eject it but from the existing operating systems or the iTunes "Do now not disconnect" label might be appealing to the display of your iPod. When you are still copying some documents in your iPod, you may never disconnect except the undertaking is completed. So you have to prevent everything and start from the first actual.
– Try to eject the iPod with using iTunes. Eject Icon – you also are capable of clicking the Eject button of the iPod when you have selected the iPod from the Source lists.
– If your iPod nevertheless presentations the "Do no longer disconnect "label even in case you had correctly ejected it from iTunes, you can try to eject it with using the running system Finder (Mac) or by using My Computer on your personal laptop.
Get on to the Finder icon from the dock, and then select iPod logo from the computer, and then finally, from the menu report, select the Eject iPod.
Windows Procedure: First, go to the icon of My Computer from your desktop and double-click it, and when you see the iPod icon, proper-click it, and finally is to pick the Eject button from the menu.

These Terms and Conditions of Sale ("Agreement" or "Terms") shall apply to all quotations and offers made by Western Digital Technologies, Inc. or its SanDisk affiliates ("Seller"), and purchase orders accepted by Seller, for SanDisk products either provided as a service ("Services") or sold or licensed as applicable (collectively, "Products") hereunder by Seller. This Agreement shall supersede and prevail over terms and conditions contained in or referred to in any purchase order, confirmation or other writing submitted by the purchaser of Products ("Purchaser"). These Terms shall apply whether or not attached to or enclosed with the Products sold by Seller hereunder unless otherwise agreed to in a signed writing by Seller; provided, however, that (i) if the Product in question is a stand-alone software Product, then the express terms of Seller's applicable license agreement for such Product will govern if and where inconsistent with these Terms, including but not limited to license terms, the manner of delivery, and any warranties, support and payment terms and (ii) Products that are Services will be provided in accordance with these Terms, the service and support terms supplied with Seller's order confirmation documents (if applicable), and any specific service descriptions available at the following URL: https://link.sandisk.com/commercialsupport, which are incorporated by reference herein . In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the attached/online terms, the attached/online terms shall take precedence. No course of dealing or usage of trade or course of performance will be relevant to explain or supplement any of these Terms. Seller's acceptance and fulfillment of Purchaser's order is expressly made conditional on agreement by Purchaser to the Terms hereof, and Purchaser agrees that, by receiving and/or using the Products, Seller's actions do not constitute acceptance of any of Purchaser's terms and conditions and do not serve to modify or amend this Agreement.

2. PRICES AND TAXES. Unless otherwise agreed by Seller in writing, the prices shown are stated and payable in U.S. dollars, and are based on Delivery terms set forth below. Seller may decrease Product prices at its discretion at any time without notice. Seller reserves the right by giving five (5) calendar days prior notice to Purchaser ("Price Increase Notice Period"), to increase prices on Products scheduled for shipment after the Price Increase Notice Period. Purchaser may, no later than the conclusion of the Price Increase Notice Period, cancel Purchaser's order only with respect to such Products whose prices were so increased and scheduled for shipment after the conclusion of the Price Increase Notice Period. Purchaser will pay all additional costs incurred by Seller due to interruptions, engineering changes or modifications caused or requested by Purchaser. All prices are quoted, all orders accepted, and all billings rendered are exclusive of all federal, state, and local excise, sales, use, manufacturer's or state or local privilege, duties, value added or similar taxes applicable to the sale of the Product hereunder, or to this Agreement, which shall be paid by Purchaser.

Title and risk of loss to the Products transfer to Purchaser at the Seller shipping point. Products will be deemed accepted by Purchaser at the time of title transfer. Purchaser covenants to export from the PRC the Products delivered by the Seller at the SDSS Site within seven (7) days from the competent PRC governmental authority's approval of the export declaration submitted by or on behalf of Seller for such Products. Written acceptance of these Terms by Seller or Purchaser shall not constitute a guaranty of delivery of Products, since such delivery remains subject to provisions in these Terms as well as available market supply and other market considerations. The quantity of any installment of Products as recorded by Seller on dispatch from Seller's place of business is conclusive evidence of the quantity received by Purchaser on delivery unless Purchaser can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary. Any liability for Seller's non-delivery shall be limited to, at Seller's option, delivery of the undelivered units or adjusting the invoice for the respective Products to reflect the actual quantity delivered. In the event of Seller's inability to supply the goods specified in Purchaser's orders, Seller may delay Delivery at Seller's discretion without obligations or liability to Seller. Purchaser shall obtain and keep in force all-risk property and cargo insurance with limits at least equal to the value of Products purchased until payment is received in full by Seller.

Below is a brief paper on Knox and Liberty & Co.
Liberty & Co. (Liberty) was first set up in London in 1875.
Between c 1896 – 1900 Knox worked for Liberty indirectly as a designer for the Silver Studio. From 1900, such was his reputation, he worked directly for Liberty firstly from the Isle of Man, and then once back in London from 1904 when employed as a teacher.
Knox worked on all areas of design for Liberty but most notably as the main designer for silver and jewellery for the "Cymric" range (1898-1906) and pewter for the "Tudric" range (1902-1906).
In the first 1899 "Cymric" catalogue the "Cymric" range was envisaged as an artistic range of silver drawing on the ancient history of Britain for its design inspiration. There is no reference to its Celtic influence at all. Such was Knox' influence on the range, and domination of its design style, that it later became associated with Celtic design.
Knox's body of work for Liberty can be seen at Westminster Archive in the Liberty silver, jewellery and pewter sketch books. These three bound ledgers contain pages of small drawings of nearly all Liberty's items at this time, with model numbers but no named designer. They allow us to attribute about 80 per cent of the output, prior to 1906, to Knox.
Knox's work for Liberty probably peaked in 1903. His work was part of a special exhibition "Celtic Art" at the Grafton Gallery and he was Liberty's major contributor to the 1903 Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society. Most of his greatest, most radical, designs carry assay marks for 1900-1903. After this period the popularity of the range started to decline and, correspondingly, Liberty started to remove some of the cost and quality of the range. After 1903 it is more common to see lighter more mass produced pieces of Liberty silver perhaps carrying Knox motifs, but not wholly by Knox.
Other Liberty items designed by Knox included a range of terracotta garden pottery, textile and wallpaper designs and a very few items of furniture.
Around 1906 Knox ceased to design for Liberty and the whole "Cymric" and "Tudric" ranges were in major decline, the former ultimately demised around 1908, the pewter some years later. Liberty continued to sell silver and items to Knox's design up to around 1912, and cutlery to his design was reissued from around 1925-1939.

I made beautiful cupcakes today. I wanted to post about them immediately, but couldn't think of a single intelligent thing to say. After attempting in vain to come up with something, I concluded that intelligence is a bit too much to expect from me on a Sunday, and I would just put pretty pictures.
But slowly as the day meandered on, I kept wanting to describe the glories of these wonderful cupcakes. I bought fresh cranberries for the first time ever, and they're gorgeous and enticing and really gross if you just eat them straight from the fridge. Turning them into baked goods, however, is genius. They cut through the sweetness of most desserts, and when you bake them into cupcakes the results are enough to compel one to write a blog post, however uninspired one might be.
The concrete details: these cupcakes are adapted from multiple sources, enough that I feel comfortable calling them my own invention. The base is a pear-cranberry spice cake with white chocolate chunks: this probably could have passed for a muffin until I slathered it with frosting, which I am prone to doing. The cake was moist and sweet and punctuated with the tartness from the cranberries – I never realized how much I love cranberries! It came out great. I iced it with a white-chocolate cream cheese frosting, because I wanted some tanginess to counter the white chocolate. Then I topped them with candied cranberries, to look icy and winter-appropriate. I'm really happy with how these turned out: the result was extremely delicious, and the cake itself is pretty quick to make. I have to admit that it got a little more time-consuming as I added frivolities, but these would be great unfrosted too. Given that easy option, don't miss out on the deliciousness!
Update: I entered these cupcakes into the Bon Appétit contest: please go vote for me here!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. In a large bowl, beat together sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla with an electric mixer until combined well. At low speed, mix in pears, cranberries, and chocolate. Mix in flour mixture until incorporated.
Spoon batter into cupcake liners until two-thirds full. Bake until a tester comes out clean, about 25 minutes for regular cupcakes and 15 minutes for minis. Cool completely before frosting.
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, dissolve sugar in water. Lower heat to barely a simmer. Add cranberries and simmer for 5 minutes, or until softened. Remove from heat and strain cranberries, discarding liquid. When cranberries are cool enough to handle, roll in granulated sugar and place on waxed paper until ready to use.
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, stirring periodically. Allow to cool for 2 minutes or so.
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter at medium speed until creamy. Beat in cream cheese thoroughly. Beat in the melted white chocolate.
Add 2 cups of powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat at low speed, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl, until light and fluffy. Add more powdered sugar to arrive at the consistency and sweetness you like (I stayed at 2, and refrigerated briefly before using).
Note: Once you get into melting white chocolate, you need to make sure your chocolate is real, and not the sneaky artificial stuff. I used Callebaut, which is ridiculous, but Green and Black's and Lindt also make good bars.
Second note: although most cupcakes should be stored at room temperature, these do better in the fridge. The cream cheese frosting holds up better, and because they're made with oil instead of butter, they stay soft.
White chocolate cream cheese frosting sounds like the best possible thing to eat. Ever.
oh my god, it really really was. I might have eaten some with a spoon. But of course I could never admit to that.
For the frostin, when do you mix in the cream cheese? With the butter?
oops, sorry! yes, with the butter, I've fixed the recipe now.
Hi I am from Turkey, İzmir. I tried your recipe and the results were amazing. It was really delicious and it was like 20npeople ate it and fell in love.)) thanks for this great recipe.
they look so beautiful! especially the cranberries on top… I absolutely adore these.

Rashford is optimistic about England's chances after their opening-fixture win over Tunisia.
Marcus Rashford insists England are in Russia to win the World Cup - not to gain experience that will stand them in good stead for future tournaments.
The talk surrounding the national team in the build-up to this summer's showpiece centred around how the current squad is not yet good enough to challenge for major honours, but that the players could learn a lot to take forward on the international stage.
England started their Group G campaign with a 2-1 win over Tunisia on Monday night courtesy of a Harry Kane brace and Rashford, who impressed in a short cameo off the bench, is full of belief that the Three Lions are capable of going all the way.
"We have to improve our performance which will ultimately get the three points," Rashford said. "We have to stay calm whether the result was a draw or a win.
"The next game [against Panama] is just as important as the first game, so it's a tough one really. We're obviously happy that we've won the game but preferably we want to win all three games.
"You need the squad to win the tournament and that's what we're here to try and do."
On the strength of England's squad, Rashford added: "It's not the be all and end all if you're on the bench for one game.
"I think in the squad that we've got here, everyone understands that and it's going to have to be a team effort if we want to bring the trophy home."

Is your marriage really broken with no hope of reconciliation and the only way out of it is divorce? Before filing for divorce in the State of New York, you must first satisfy the requirements for residency and divorce grounds as stated in the state's Domestic Relations Law.
Both parties should be legal New York residents upon beginning the divorce and living in the state continuously for one year at the least, immediately prior to starting the divorce. Additionally, your wedding ceremony should have been conducted in the state, or you both resided in the state as a married couple.
Both parties should have been residing in the state continuously for one year at least, immediately prior to anyone beginning the divorce and your divorce grounds should have occurred in the state.
Both parties must be legal New York residents, regardless of the time period, upon beginning the divorce and your divorce grounds should have happened in the state.
If divorce is not an option for you and you don't want the hassle of gong to court, provided domestic abuse is not an issue, you can instead consider collaborative law or divorce mediation. Both of these divorce alternatives will help you and your spouse resolve your divorce issues with less trauma, stress, and cost.


AIWA! NO!//MSNBC national affairs analyst John Heilemann on Friday predicted "frightening" behavior from President Donald Trump before voters go to the polls on November 6 for the 2018 midterms.
"All of our legal analysts have incredibly important things to say, I'm going to be a psychoanalyst here for a second," Heilemann said on "Deadline: White House" with Nicolle Wallace.
"It's all now starting to collapse in on Trump. It's interesting that the reporting from this week, or at the end of this week, is that he is starting to finally see it," he noted.
President Trump realizing his legal jeopardy could have major ramifications during this fall's campaigns for the House and the Senate.
"I don't know what he's going to do between now and midterm election day, but it is going to be, I think, as extreme as some of his behavior has been, as we've seen over the last 19 months — I think it's going to be more extreme than that and it's going to be quite frightening," he concluded.


We know this. But in the face of such major, systematic problems, is there anything we can really do? Can an individual or a single community have a voice? You bet!
We're making a documentary about groups driving change in their communities. Searching 4 Opportunities is me, Oksana Anasko an IMPACT! alumni, and Adrian Eguiluz. We're going to Ukraine, a country with a deep, multi-dimensional crisis. Against all odds, Ukrainians are getting organized and coming up with creative, sustainable solutions to challenges that can be found all over the world.
In Ukraine, we've found a group of lawyers gathering people´s real requests for direct democracy, a new organization for human rights, and a theatre group going to conflict zones to discuss oppression and human rights. There are so many amazing people working together for a more democratic and sustainable society. This documentary is about them and the great work they are doing. You can learn about them more on our Facebook page.
I'm a Ukrainian environmentalist and I participated in the EuroMaydan revolution and Adrian is a Spanish social worker from the "Indignados" movement in Spain. Based in Edmonton, we connected over a great idea and tons of passion, backed by academic research, support from the University of Alberta´s Canadian Institute for Ukrainian Studies, and a little bit of movie-making experience. But a big piece was missing: the resources to complete such a challenging project.
It was time for a new plan, so we followed up with IMPACT! Mentor, Jonathan. He helped us clarify our objectives, gave us ideas on how to approach potential founders, and proposed a couple of funding bodies to which we could submit our project.
Now we have a few project proposals waiting to be approved, messaging for potential investors, contacts to seek advice, and a crowd funding campaign that is starting to grow. Our project feels possible!
Learn more about our initiative here, share your feedback, and please consider supporting us.
