Up to this point, we've learned about Autodesk Inventor from a conceptual standpoint, and now we're ready to begin looking at the user interface. The user interface is made up of a few different components that you'll interact with while you're building your models and creating your designs. First, you have the browser on the left, above that you have the ribbon bar, above the ribbon bar is the Quick Access toolbar, on the right- hand side of the screen you have your navigation tools, and finally you have your Graphics window which is the gray window that the model is actually being displayed in. I'm going to go over the navigation tools first, because I'll use those throughout this section of the course to manipulate the model and show how the interface changes, based on what type of action is taking place on the model itself.
We'll start with the view cube. The view cube is simply a cube that has labels that are linked to specific views of the model. As I hover my mouse near the view cube, you'll notice that it highlights and a Home button becomes available. As I move away, those hide. That's so that the view cube in navigation tools are not really visible or active while you're working on your design. It's just to help keep things clean. As I hover over my view cube, you'll notice different sections of the view cube are highlighted. By clicking on any of those sections, the view cube and the model will both rotate to represent that orientation.
By simply returning to the view cube and clicking the Home button, I return to a default Isometric view. Now again, as I mentioned, you do have different sections on the view cube that highlight. By clicking on each of those, you'll very quickly see how the model is connected to the view cube and moves accordingly when selecting different views on the view cube. When we select the Front view, for example, you'll also notice that several other tools pop up. We have a couple different rotation arrows, and we now have arrows around the view cube on every side.
By clicking on the rotation arrows, you can rotate the model in 90-degree increments. Simply clicking four times, and you'll actually rotate 360 degrees in 90-degree increments. The same happens with the other rotation arrow, just in the opposite direction. The arrows that are located around the view cube work in a similar fashion, but rather than maintaining the current orientation, they simply rotate to the naked view on the view cube itself. Again, selecting that several times, you'll actually rotate back to where you started.
It works the same for both the top and bottom and the right and left arrows. Now you might look at this model and say when you click on the left view this is actually something that represents the front view rather than the side view, and I would agree with that. It's not very uncommon that you work with other designers or other companies and receive files that are in an orientation that doesn't quite make sense for the work that you're going to be doing. To change that, we have a couple of different options. First, if you view the model from the orientation that you consider the front view, you can right-click on the view cube to select Set Current view as, and you have options for Top or Front.
In this case, I'm going to select Front, and you'll notice now my view cube is representing the Front view, and that is the view that I am viewing on the screen. When I click to my Home button again, you'll see that I have Top, Front, and Right, rather than Top, Left, and Front. This makes sense to me, and I can change it at any point during the design as I need to.

Take a look at these pictures of the small pistons in such a 1300 engine. Compared to the big 2000 pistons, I have from the Bertone GT, they really look minuscule.
And that is actually the whole point. All the masses in the engine are much smaller; so while the crankshaft is just as strong, the reciprocating and rotating masses are much lighter, and the torque is similarly smaller. This all should make for a high-revving power-unit!

Sheffield Wednesday are pleased to announce that the club will host a charity partner at every home fixture throughout 2013/14.
A different charitable cause will be in the spotlight each matchday in a bid to raise both funds and awareness for their organisation.
As official charity partners they will receive:
- Website story introducing them as charity partner
- Article promoting their organisation/events in matchday programme
- Feature on official teamsheet
- Mention in matchday script and on scoreboard
- Bucket collection at Hillsborough prior to kick-off
Sheffield Wednesday wish to welcome Anthony Nolan as charity partners for the Millwall match.
The blood cancer charity manages the UK bone marrow register helping match donors to patients in need of lifesaving transplants.
Staff at Anthony Nolan are currently supporting South Yorkshire resident Daniel Moxen, 23, who was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2009 and soon after received a bone marrow transplant.
After a relapse, doctors told him there was nothing more they can do for him but he refuses to give up and hopes to travel to the USA for treatment.
His auntie, Melaine Torley said: "Daniel was lucky enough to have two matches available but we know not everyone is in that position, so we hope his story will help raise awareness of the need for more bone marrow donations."
Volunteers from the charity will hold a bucket collection around the ground before kick-off and both SWFC and Anthony Nolan would like to thank everyone in advance for their generosity.

I am, because the reviews for this BBC drama series — which combines Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall and the sequel, Bring Up The Bodies, into one six-episode screenplay — have been remarkably good, pretty much across-the-board, and lavish with praise for all kinds of reasons. Here's just one example of what all the fuss is about.
Details: With Mark Rylance as Thomas Cromwell, Damian Lewis as King Henry VIII, Claire Foy as Anne Boleyn; Joanne Whalley as Katherine of Aragon and Jonathan Pryce as Cardinal Wolsey — among a cast that has been described as magnificent — it starts airing at 10:00 p.m. Eastern/9:00 p.m. Central tonight on Masterpiece Theatre.
ETA: A kind friend advised me that the current issue of The Paris Review features an extensive interview with Hilary Mantel, which includes talk about her work on the final installment of the Wolf Hall trilogy. It's not available on-line — yet — but PR does tend to make interviews accessible after a certain point in time. They also are in the habit of tweeting their interviews, both fairly current and much, much older, sometimes going back decades.

22-yr-old Hardik Patel landed in Delhi on Sunday to hold talks for a nationwide stir demanding OBC reservations for the Patels.
Hardik Patel said, "We want to take our movement all over the nation. Whereever the Patel community needs me, I will go."
Hardik Patel will meet representatives of the Jat and Gujjar communities, along with the members of his own community in Delhi. Also on Hardik's agenda is a mammoth rally in the heart of Delhi next month.
Patel added, "We are thinking of holding a protest at Jantar Mantar here in Delhi, and also in Lucknow."
Hardik Patel claims the Patidars are spread all over India, from Rajasthan in the north to Andhra Pradesh in south. There are total 27 crore Patidars.
The Bihar CM has already supported the Patidar movement, though his stand has led to friction within the JD (U), with senior leader Sharad Yadav refusing to back the movement.
Hardik Patel feels the Gujarat model of the movement can be replicated in other states too with help from other communities fighting reservation battles in their own regions.

PARIS (AFP) - Jelena Ostapenko became the first Latvian Grand Slam finalist after blasting past Switzerland's Timea Bacsinszky 7-6 (7/4), 3-6, 6-3 in the French Open semi-finals on Thursday (June 8).
Ostapenko, the world number 47, is the first unseeded player to reach the final at Roland Garros since Mima Jausovec in 1983.
The Latvian, who turned 20 on Thursday, is also the youngest woman to advance to the final of a major since a 19-year-old Caroline Wozniacki finished runner-up at the 2009 US Open.
"I am really happy. I love to play here, I love you guys, you're amazing. I'm just happy with the way I celebrated my birthday!" said Ostapenko as the crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to her.
"I was always playing aggressive and hitting the ball when I have a chance. It probably helps me to win today."
For 30th-seeded Bacsinszky it was a second semi-final defeat in three years in Paris.
"Of course I'm disappointed. I'm a competitor, and it really annoys me not to be in the final," said Bacsinszky, who was beaten on her 28th birthday.
"I'm not ashamed to say that she played better. She was braver. She had more courage. She was more successful."
Ostapenko fell in the first round on her main draw debut in Paris last year but is one win away from becoming the first player since Gustavo Kuerten in 1997 to win their maiden tour-level title at a Slam.
Kuerten won that year's French Open – the first of three Roland Garros titles for the Brazilian – on the same day Ostapenko was born.
Bacsinszky, who was beaten in three sets by eventual champion Serena Williams on her previous trip to the last four, broke Ostapenko for an early 2-0 lead.
But the Latvian took the challenge to Bacsinszky with her aggression, nipping ahead at 4-3 before the Swiss called for the trainer.
Bacsinszky complained of a problem above her right knee after jarring her foot in the clay and resumed play with her leg heavily taped.
Ostapenko faltered when she tried to serve it out at 6-5, but the Latvian took the tie-break with a swinging backhand volley.
Ostapenko, whose average forehand speed of 76 mph this tournament has eclipsed that of Andy Murray (73), continued to let fly with a bombardment of winners and errors.
Bacsinszky pounced as Ostapenko's radar misfired to break for 4-3 in the second set before the Latvian gifted it to her with a double fault on set point.
But Ostapenko's fearless approach paid off after a series of breaks to start the decider, the Latvian landing the crucial blow to pull 4-3 ahead before sealing victory in two hours and 25 minutes.
Her successful all-or-nothing approach saw her fire 50 winners and 45 unforced errors against Bacsinszky.

It's easy to think of pseudoscience existing in a glass case at a museum – something to be examined and critiqued from a safe distance, but not something to touch and to play with. Using examples taken from his own personal experiences in skepticism, Michael Marshall will show what happens when you begin to crack the surface of the pseudosciences that surround us – revealing the surprising, sometimes-shocking and often-comic adventures that lie beneath.
Michael Marshall is the Project Director of the Good Thinking Society and the Vice President of the Merseyside Skeptics Society. He regularly speaks with proponents of pseudoscience for the Be Reasonable podcast. His work has seen him organising international homeopathy protests and co-founding the popular QED conference.

Just a couple of days after leaving HP to "pursue an opportunity outside of the company," ex-VP of Worldwide Developer Relations for webOS Richard Kerris has now turned up at Nokia, where he'll be serving as the company's Global Head of Developer Relations. As you may recall, Kerris only took on the HP job at the beginning of this year, having previously served as Chief Technology Officer at Lucasfilm.

text: blog Field Maintenance of HVAC Humidity and CO2 Sensors Tiina Vainio Marketing Manager Share Published: Feb 6, 2019 Buildings and Indoor Air Quality Industrial Measurements Innovations and Inspirations Anything worth measuring is worth measuring right, and to do that periodic calibration is essential. In HVAC, the primary reason to measure CO₂ is to optimize ventilation and realize energy savings. According to a recent European study, demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) can reduce energy use by 20–50% in public buildings. If you're not measuring correctly, you might be losing out on some or even all of those potential savings. When should I calibrate? While there's no single right answer to this question, "never" is always the wrong answer! A good starting point is to ask these two questions What accuracy do you need? Are there stability specifications? Do not accept automatic drift compensation as a "good-enough" alternative – all sensors have some drift. You can further ask: Do you have a record of drift values? Have drift specifications been determined for your use environment? Always start with a shorter inspection interval and increase it gradually. Your actual field inspection data is the best way to determine the right inspection interval for your instrument. Should I perform field checking or adjustment? A good strategy may be to first perform field checks against the reference instruments, as these are relatively fast to perform. Depending on the observed differences in the field check, a simple guideline for adjustment in HVAC applications could be: • if the observed difference is 2%RH or less, do nothing; • if the difference is 2–4%RH, make a one-point field adjustment; and • if the difference is more than 4%RH, send the device for service or change the measurement module. Single or multi-point adjustment? In HVAC the measured conditions typically only vary a little, meaning single-point field adjustment is usually the right choice. However, if the whole measurement range of the instrument is used or if the field check indicates a large correction is needed, multi-point adjustment is the right choice as something might be wrong with the instrument. Multi-point adjustment is more time consuming and expensive as it usually requires moving the instrument to a laboratory, but it will tell you if the device is working properly over its intended range. Little to no maintenance needed For many basic applications Vaisala's HVAC products are essentially maintenance free. The specified long-term stability is usually so good that adjustments are rarely needed, although a field check is always recommended. In more demanding applications, where traceability is required to maintain certifications, you can choose to carry out field checking and any necessary adjustments yourself. With some of our products you can check or adjust relative humidity or CO2 readings against a handheld instrument or, in the case of carbon dioxide, against gas bottles. The easiest solution is to purchase field-replaceable measurement modules that come with a calibration certificate; these measurement modules can be easily exchanged in minutes. Learn more about our handheld humidity and temperature meter HM70 or take a look at our calibration services. A free webinar on maintaining the HVAC CO2 sensors the easy way will be held on 15th May.

| 7°C Belfast
Harry Styles and Taylor Swift fuelled rumours of a romance by stepping out together in New York.
The One Direction singer and the US pop superstar - who were first linked after they were spotted looking friendly on US X Factor - were seen strolling through the Big Apple together at the weekend, reported Us Weekly.
Harry and Taylor then visited the Central Park Zoo with Harry's stylist Lou Teasdale, her fiance Tom and their baby Lux. Pictures show the couple sitting next to each other and talking, with Love Story singer Taylor holding the baby.
A source told E! News: "Harry and Taylor were walking next to each other. They seemed happy to be together, talking and smiling. Taylor seemed to be in a great mood. Lou and Tom were walking next to them and pushing their baby Lux in a stroller."
Since the pair were seen on X Factor, there have been reports that they are an item and that Taylor wants to buy a home in the UK to be closer to Harry. The 22-year-old, who recently split from Robert F Kennedy Jr and who has previously dated actor Jake Gyllenhaal and singer Joe Jonas, was said to be looking at properties in London.
It has also been reported that Harry wants to introduce Taylor to his parents at the band's upcoming Christmas party in New York.

Daiso online store & Valentine bento contest
1. Daiso Launches Wholesaler Discount Program
Japanese discount store Daiso has launched a new discount program for wholesalers, resellers, and bulk orders. They've put their inventory up on on a new online store with bulk pricing; evidently if you are accepted into their discount program and login to your account, the prices will reflect the discount. I'd be curious as to how deep the discount is, as the prices they have up now are definitely higher than the US$1.50 per item I'm used to seeing in stores. (Shipping within the continental U.S. only.)
This move makes Daiso more competitive with smaller discount store Ichiban Kan, which already has an online store in the U.S. (correction: no wholesale program). Both companies have a good selection of cheap bento gear and household items, and Ichiban Kan recently announced that it will soon be expanding its shipping areas to include Alaska, Hawaii, and a "few selected countries" internationally. It's interesting that Daiso's online store only handles bulk orders, though; I suppose it's more profitable to only deal in larger quantities. My hope is that retailers and resellers in the U.S. will take advantage of this opportunity to stock cheap bento gear, making it more widely available. (DISCLAIMER: I'm not affiliated with either store.)
2. Bento of the Month Contest: My Valentine
Congratulations go to bentolunches, the winner of the first Bento of the Month contest on the Lunch in a Box Forum.

Loads of videos from Guiding Light, especially the glory daydream that were 1993/94 - the story that got me hooked, "Who Shot Roger", features heavily, as does clips of Marj Dusay as Alexandra. But wrapped up in all these are some lovely Dylan/Bridget scenes, as she struggles to get custody of baby Peter back from Vanessa (Dylans stepmother). I loved loved loved Dylan and Bridget back in the day - I still refuse to acknowledge the TRAVESTY that was Brian Gaskill - they were friends before they got involved romantically, and I remember a lot of will they won't they (mostly because of the custody battle) and that's the kind of thing you don't get in soaps today, that slow burn as opposed to insta-romance
One of my favourite moments occurs in The Secret Wedding Clip 13, where Vanessa confronts Dylan over his support of Bridget and throws him out of the house.
God, I miss this show.

Jonathan Toews wants to be there for the Chicago Blackhawks when it really matters.
In order to do that, Toews realizes he can't be there for them now. Toews skated Sunday for the first time in a week, but it's still not clear when he'll return to game action. He will miss a ninth consecutive game Sunday due to an upper-body injury, which has been reported to be a back injury.
Toews said Sunday he'd be playing if the Blackhawks were in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
"I think there's not a whole lot of things that any of our guys wouldn't play through, and for myself in this case, I feel like it's something that when everything's on the line you suck it up and deal with whatever the aftermath is in the offseason," Toews said. "But obviously in this case, we've got a long ways to go. Again, the tough thing is almost just being extra cautious to make sure it's not something that will gradually get worse the rest of the season if we don't deal with it now."
Toews was the first player on the ice for the Blackhawks' optional morning skate Sunday and last one off it. He skated for about 45 minutes. He last skated individually on Dec. 4 and with the team on Dec. 2.
Toews thought he might play on the Blackhawks' upcoming road trip. They play the New York Rangers on Tuesday, the New York Islanders on Thursday and St. Louis Blues on Saturday.
"I think it's a possibility," Toews said. "I'm not ruling it out and not guaranteeing anything, but today felt pretty good. Almost just putting pressure and just trying anything that I could out there to do those uncomfortable movements, and I'm feeling pretty good right now. Obviously, we'll see how it goes tonight and tomorrow."
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville thought the next few days would give them a better idea of when Toews could play. Quenneville was asked whether it was possible Toews could sit out until after the NHL's Christmas break.
"When you look at the schedule you have two days in between a couple of games later on, three days at Christmas," Quenneville said. "We'll do whatever is best for him long term. We want to make sure he's ready."
Toews and Quenneville weren't expecting Toews to be out as long as he has been. He was injured during a game on Nov. 23 and was considered day-to-day afterward. Over the last few weeks, Toews' return has been pushed back.
"You almost have to sit around and wait for it to heal and get better," Toews said. "Sometimes you feel good and all of a sudden you do some little movements here or there that seem to just fire everything up. So yeah, I guess in that sense it is frustrating. It is unique in that way but as they say it is what it is and you have to deal with it any way you can, and just be as good as you can when you're ready to come back."
Toews has four goals, eight assists, a 51.36 Corsi percentage and a 54.55 goals for percentage in 21 games this season.
Toews has already missed more games than he did in any of the previous four seasons. The last time he missed more than five games was during the 2011-12 season when he played just 59 games.

After 57 remarkable years as the world's most influential and successful traditional Irish folk band, The Chieftains continue to explore new and unusual passageways for Irish music collaborating with some of modern music's fastest rising artists, reinterpreting for old and new generations alike, what the music means today while hinting where it might lead tomorrow. Here on Celtic Harp they lead a tribute to the work of Edward Bunting with the Belfast Harp Orchestra.
The Chieftains are a traditional Irish band formed in Dublin in 1963, by Paddy Moloney, Sean Potts and Michael Tubridy. Their sound, which is almost entirely instrumental and largely built around uilleann pipes, has become synonymous with traditional Irish music and they are regarded as having helped popularise Irish music across the world. They have won six Grammys during their career and they were given a Lifetime Achievement Award at the prestigious BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2002. Some music experts have credited The Chieftains with bringing traditional Irish music to a worldwide audience, so much so that the Irish government awarded them the honorary title of 'Ireland's Musical Ambassadors' in 1989. The band's name came from the book Death Of A Chieftain by Irish author John Montague. Assisted early on by Garech Browne, they signed with his company Claddagh Records. They needed financial success abroad, and succeeded in this, as within a few years their third album's sleeve note section was printed in three languages.
Paddy Moloney came out of Ceoltóirí Chualann, a group of musicians who specialised in instrumentals, and sought to form a new band. They had their first rehearsals at Moloney's house, with David Fallon and Martin Fay joining the original three. The group remained only semi-professional up until the 1970s and by then had achieved great success in Ireland and the United Kingdom. In 1973, their popularity began to spread to the United States when their previous albums were released there by Island Records. They received further acclaim when they worked on the Academy Award-winning soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick's 1975 film Barry Lyndon, which triggered their transition to the mainstream in the US. The group continued to release successful records throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and their work with Van Morrison in 1988 resulted in the critically acclaimed album Irish Heartbeat. They went on to collaborate with many other well-known musicians and singers; among them Pavarotti, the Rolling Stones, Sinéad O'Connor and Roger Daltrey.
In 2012, they celebrated their 50th anniversary with an ambitious album and tour. The album, Voice Of Ages, was produced by T-Bone Burnett and featured the Chieftains collaborating with many musicians including Bon Iver, Paolo Nutini and The Decemberists. It also included a collaboration with NASA astronaut Catherine Coleman playing the flute aboard the International Space Station as it orbited the earth.
Paddy Moloney is the band's leader, and composes or arranges most of the band's music. While the band's members changed numerous times in the band's early history, the membership solidified in 1979 when Matt Molloy replaced Michael Tubridy. From then until 2002, members included the current band of Paddy Moloney, Matt Molloy and Kevin Conneff and also Seán Keane (fiddle, tin whistle), Martin Fay (fiddle, bones) and Derek Bell (Irish harp, keyboard instruments, oboe). In 2002, Fay retired from active membership. In the same year, Bell died due to complications following a minor operation. Fay died on 14 November 2012. The band continue to play regularly around the world and are one of the headline acts at this years Liverpool Feis alongside such great and diverse acts as Shane MacGowan, Flogging Molly and The Undertones.
The Celtic Harp was released in 1993 and produced by head Chieftain Paddy Maloney. The Celtic Harp is essentially a showcase for the very talented harpist Derek Bell who handled all of the arrangements, as well as contributed harpsichord and tiompan to the proceedings. Fine solos from flute God Matt Malloy ('Parting of Friends/Kerry Fling'), vocalist Kevin Conneff ('Green Fields of America'), and pipe player Maloney ('T'Aimse 'Im Chodladh') give the album a definite Chieftain feel, but The Celtic Harp belongs to Bell, who infuses each note with the subtlety and grace of a true master. Five of the tracks on this album were recorded in Frank Zappa's home studio before he died with Kevin Conneff's 'The Green Fields of America' being a personal favourite of his. Two months later, the album was completed in Windmill Lane Studios with The Belfast Harp Orchestra with whom they had played and recorded a very successful show in London's Barbican Centre a few months previously. 'The Celtic Harp' won a Grammy Award for 'Best Traditional Folk Album' in 1994.
Edward Bunting was born in February 1773 at Armagh, the youngest of the three children of a mining engineer at Dungannon colliery in Coalisland. In 1782 he went to live with his organist brother Anthony in Drogheda, continuing his musical education. In 1784 he moved to Belfast as apprentice to William Ware, organist at St Anne's. There he rapidly demonstrated his musical talent, becoming deputy organist, and, although still a boy, coached many of Ware's adult pupils.
Bunting lodged for the next thirty-five years in Donegall Street with the McCracken family. In 1792 a festival of the last of the great Irish harpers was held in Belfast in the Assembly Rooms (later Northern Bank), and Bunting was given the task of copying their music which he eventually published in three volumes. In the early years of the nineteenth century Bunting promoted several successful series of concerts in the town. St Anne's was the only church in Belfast at that time with an organ, but in 1806 a second Presbyterian Church was built (demolished 1964) and, contrary to the usual practice in Presbyterian churches, an organ was installed. Bunting was appointed as the church's organist. It was here that in 1813 he organised a great music festival at which a large portion of Messiah was performed for the first time in Belfast. In 1819 he married and moved with his wife to Dublin. He was organist at St Stephen's, and later also a partner in a music warehouse. In 1827 he secured a well-paid position as organist at St George's.
Although he was an intimate of the major figures in the Society of United Irishmen of the period, Henry Joy McCracken, Thomas Russell and Wolff Tone, Bunting avoided political entanglements. Without Bunting's work our knowledge of tunes and techniques would be immeasurably poorer. Bunting's own musical abilities were considerable. In 1795, on Wolfe Tone's last night in Ireland, his rendition of 'The parting of friends' reduced Mrs Tone to tears. On 21 December 1843, mounting the stairs at home, he suffered a heart attack and died within an hour. He is buried at Mount Jerome cemetery in Dublin.
It is believed the harp was introduced to pre-Christian Europe by the Phoenicians who brought it over from Egypt as one of their international trading goods. The oldest surviving Celtic harps date back to the 15th century but the music of the harp has been an important emblem to Ireland since the 10th century.
In the days of the old chieftains harpists were held in high regard. Stories were often told to the music of the harp and it encompassed the spirit of the country. Harpists used to travel the country of Ireland performing their folk songs and stories for the public.
The most famous of these was the blind harpist, Turlough O'Carolan. His compositions are still popular today through the work of groups like The Chieftains and Planxty.
In the 16th century the music of the harp was seen as such a threat that The British Crown attempted to crush the Irish Spirit by ordering all harps to be burnt and all harpists executed. It was almost 200 years before the music of the harp was freely enjoyed in Ireland once again.
In 1792, a festival was set up in an attempt to bring back the almost extinct tradition of the harp. Only 10 harpists attended. A young organist named Edward Bunting was hired to notate the harp music at the festival.
Bunting's transcripts are the oldest records of traditional Celtic harp music in existence as it was the tradition to hand down the music orally through the generations. Sadly, with the harp being banned for so long, most of the music was lost.
Today the image of the harp as a national symbol of Ireland is almost as well recognised as the shamrock. It appears on the Irish Euro coins and is the logo for Guinness, considered by many to be Ireland's national drink.

Boys soccer: Vitale's goal sends Law to state tourney
Jon Vitale's goal early in the second half propelled the Jonathan Law boys soccer team to a 1-0 win over host Notre Dame-West Haven on Wednesday afternoon at Veterans Stadium.
With the victory, the Lawmen qualified for the Class L state tournament for the third straight season.
"It's very important because the kids work so hard for conditioning in the off-season, they get here and they keep working hard," Law head coach Mike Gruber said of reaching the postseason. "We might not have the most technical players, but we have a gritty group of players… We work hard, we're a team. It's eleven individuals working for a common goal. We reached that goal of states and hopefully this year we can make a run."
ND-WH finished its winless campaign at 0-15-1.
Following a scoreless first half, the Lawmen won a corner kick two minutes into the second session. Troy Anderson drove the ball into the Green Knight 18-yard box, where an unmarked Vitale nodded it past keeper Jay Brennan at 37:34.
"When we get numbers up for the corner, I just tell them to look for my head," Vitale said. "The distribution is great. I'll put it in for them… They (the defenders) just happened to miss me on that one,"
The Lawmen (6-7-2) have thrived in dead-ball situations all year and this time, that success helped them punch their tickets to the playoffs.
"We knew set pieces were key because we've been really, really good with them," Gruber said.
Law keeper Dan Majkut made sure the 1-0 scoreline stood up, coming through with his biggest stop of the game with 5:03 left.
A shot from ND's Jacob Doyle found its way through traffic, careening to the foot of Tom Ellis. Ellis had an open net for a potential equalizer, but Majkut charged him. The resulting attempt sailed up and over the crossbar for a goal kick.
The Green Knights came out searching for the back of the net following back-to-back shutout losses to Xavier (4-0) and North Haven (1-0).
"Their kids play hard for eighty minutes," Gruber said. "We knew they were going to come out hard because this was their last game of the season. We were a little nervous because we had a state berth on the line. We came out a little flat for the first fifteen minutes."
ND kept pressure on Law defenders Kyle Goglia, Connor DiMuro, Lex Edwards and Anderson early on, but did not produce any quality shots on target.
"Our core defensive players did a very good job. Nothing was too dangerous," Gruber said.
The Green Knights best effort of the half, from Doyle, flew over the crossbar.
While Notre Dame dictated the tempo in the opening 40 minutes, Law produced the best chances. Will Contaxis broke free along the left side, but his shot was stopped by Brennan.
The momentum started to change in the second half, leading to Law's corner kick that produced the eventual game-winning header from Vitale.
"We started to settle in and get more possession," Gruber said.
Law, unbeaten in its last three contests, will close out the regular season tomorrow night at 6:30 against Branford (9-3-2).

Spelling mistakes can be awesome
No one can argue that English is hard to learn when it's not your first language. Heck, English spelling and grammar are hard for some native speakers! Pear, pair and pare. Inflammable means flammable. "Thought" has a "g" in it for some reason. Often English doesn't make any sense, so it's understandable that when foreign companies try to produce packaging in our language, things can get a little mixed up. Check out these hilarious ~Engrish~ names for goods from around the world that might be a mistake… or just on point.
Maybe people in other countries are just funnier than we are…

What Linux doesn't need is Flash, simply because there is also HTML5 and WebGL comming up. Long story short: Steam required because no other good games. Flash not required because the functionality, currently only Flash is providing, is already in steady development and already coming as FLOSS to Linux.
The parent asked for useful, not required but please keep putting words in my mouth.
Dinosaur-think. Or, "not on someone else's computer/INternet cafe/smartphone/low-spec netbook/smartbook etc. you can't,[...]
[...]nevermind the multi-window interface which[...]
- last time I checked, IE held the largest share, even in Europe.
- Really? The latest IE, being IE8, has about 10% marketshare. IE7 has 20 percent. IE6 now has about 15% and Firefox 30%, Chrome 10%, Safari 10% and the rest 5%.
Here's some advice, and I am doing 'customer support' (sorta) for some elearning website:
If you get an e-mail from somebody who uses a realy crappy browser I simply ask them "Did you install the latest version of your browser?" (always IE) and when they say "Yes but it still doesn't work" than I simply respond with The Correct Answer (TM). I am asuming that the people that mail me are not idiots; they simply do not know anything about computers, so I do not treat them like idiots. I made a standard respond email in which I explain them in layman terms;
-What is wrong = this being we use the latest industry standards, but;
-Microsoft is trying to catch up with everybody else, but haven't caught up yet
-Alternative, high-quality industry-ready (R)(C) browsers.
And As them to get back to me per e-mail if things are still problematic.
Thius dramatically reduced the mails I got since people expected 'us' to do their work for them. No longer do I reset acounts, I just mail them a standard mail with a link to the 'Forgot Password' page and so they have to also do some effort.
Believe me... it works and people are grateful (I sometimes get thank you mails) to get such explainatory help.
It is just too bad that some people have no insight/SQ and they get the shit al over them and want to complain about anti-social people that they have to deal with every day. *Please buy a mirror*
- inertia
- "nobody got fired for going with Micrsoft"-thinking
And lastly you complain about HTML5 not working in all browsers. Well good old chap, Flash works in no other browser than Goolge Chrome, all the other browsers need a plugin. IE websites work on no other browser whatsoevere, not even between IE6, 7 and 8 is there compatibility... Give or take...

With that in mind, the Gel that I have almost finished using is described as being a multi-action gel cream which absorbs deeply to moisturise and nourish skin. It also helps to tones, hydrates, brightens while fighting free radical damage. To do all of that it uses an ingredient I had never heard of, come across and being honest, still cannot pronounce and that is the super antioxidant known as Astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is derived from freshwater green algae, is considered 6000 times more powerful than vitamin C, 550 times stronger than Vitamin E,800 times more powerful than COQ10 - wow! There is also the inclusion of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin which helps to firm the skin and uphold its natural moisture levels.

The Ernakulam central police on Wednesday arrested Kunnath Pharmaceuticals' managing director K.C. Abraham for misusing actress Shweta Menon's sexy stills from her recent film Kayam for promoting their Ayurvedic aphrodisiac Musli Power Extra. He freed on bail later.
The action was taken based on actress' complaint, filed after some ad posters, featuring seductive poses of Shweta Menon and her co-actor Bala from Kayam, appeared in and around Thiruvananthapuram.
According to the actress, the Kayam producer Anitha Subhash and the pharmaceutical company had used the images without her permission. She later approached the court, seeking an explanation from the manufacturer and producer.
Ernakulam Central SI P.S. Shyju said that Abraham was arrested based on the complaint lodged by the actress. We arrested him. But has been released on bail, as it is a bailable offence, he added.

Excess dietary salt is a common cause of hypertension, but the mechanism(s) by which salt elevates blood pressure (BP) are unresolved. Extensive evidence indicates that salt retention promotes the secretion of endogenous ouabain (EO), an adrenocortical hormone. EO activates a Ca2+ signaling pathway in arterial smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) and neurons that augments vascular tone and elevates BP. This pathway involves a2/a3 Na+ pump inhibition, and increased Ca2+ entry via Na/Ca exchanger-1 (NCX1) and TRPC6 channels. Expression of these proteins is increased in several forms of hypertension, and is mimicked by chronic treatment of cultured ASMCs with ouabain but not digoxin.
The aims of this project focus on acute and chronic ouabain-Na+ pump interactions and the specific role of Na+ pumps in the Ca2+ signaling pathway.
Aim 1 : To determine if in vivo arterial myocyte basal cytosolic [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]CYT), myogenic tone (MT), and agonist-evoked ASMC and endothelial responses are altered in mice with salt-sensitive hypertension and in mice with altered a2 Na+ pump expression. BP, and arterial [Ca2+]CYT and diameter will be measured simultaneously in vivo in anesthetized mice expressing a genetically-encoded Ca2+ biosensor in smooth muscle. The data will be correlated with parallel Ca2+ imaging and contraction experiments on isolated, pressurized small arteries from these mice.
Aim 2 : To determine the functional effects of Na+ pump ouabain high-affinity binding. The structure-activity relationship of several cardiotonic steroids (CTS) will be investigated by measuring their ability to mimic, or antagonize (as digoxin does), the action of nanomolar ouabain in raising [Ca2+]CYT, augmenting myogenic tone, and influencing BP in salt-dependent hypertension.
Aim 3 : To determine whether human (h)ASMC a2 Na+ pumps mediate ouabain-augmented Ca2+ signaling, as a2 does in rodents. We will test whether digoxin also augments Ca2+ signaling in freshly-dissociated hASMCs, and/or whether digoxin or other CTS antagonize the effect of ouabain on Ca2+ signaling. We also will determine the effects of chronic ouabain treatment on a2, NCX1 and TRPC6 protein expression in primary cultured hASMCs, and whether this effect is antagonized by digoxin and certain other CTS.
Hypertension is prevalent in adults in industrialized societies, and is a major risk factor for serious cardiac and vascular pathologies. Excessive dietary salt and the tendency to salt retention is a common cause of hypertension. This project is designed to elucidate some specific mechanisms in the pathway linking salt to the elevation of blood pressure.

1527: Humans
Title text: At this point, if we're going to keep insisting on portraying dinosaurs as featherless because it's "cooler", it's time to apply that same logic to art involving bald eagles.
The comic is set in the future, with two hovering robots discussing ancient history, in particular the clothing styles of kings and queens of the now extinct human species. It appears that robot archeologists have long ago unearthed remains from one or more human civilizations, providing evidence to build a concept of what humans must have looked, acted and even sounded like. Recently they must have discovered or determined new evidence, which presumably indicates the wearing of colorful clothing by human monarchs. Until this occurred they had very little if any reason to believe that any humans wore clothing. Noting the previous knowledge that some humans had metal rings around their heads, they have drawn the conclusion that these formed a separate species "Human Kings" and the crown is a natural outgrowth of the skeleton.
When dinosaur bones were first dug up, the idea that dinosaurs were scaly, reptilian-like creatures was developed with the information available at the time. In recent times, it's been discovered that most dinosaurs actually had feathers, and in well preserved specimens, often from the Jiufotang Formation in Northern China, feathers of various forms are clearly visible.
As this runs counter to the widespread and long-held image of dinosaurs as dramatic reptiles, the public has been reluctant to accept this new discovery, especially as the addition of feathers often conjures up the image of a giant chicken. (See 1104: Feathers). Had it been discovered that dinosaurs were in fact covered with 6-inch long razor tipped spikes, people may have accepted this immediately as it conforms to the stereotype of dinosaurs as killing machines.
In the same way, the new information on kings and queens being covered in fabric runs counter to the movie inspired image that the robot on the right had about humans, picturing them as being pink warriors that could grow metal out of their heads. The head-metal image may have been inspired by the discovery of kings and queens buried or entombed with their crowns lying on top of their skulls - for example the Electress Palatine Anna Maria de'Medici. If the robot beings in this comic don't know enough about human anatomy, they may assume that the metal crown is a specialized part of the human skeleton.
Shown at least some evidence pointing to the truth - that humans typically wore clothing, and that a monarch's crown is only a symbol worn atop the head and not part of his or her body - the robot is predictably disappointed. Humans wearing clothing reduces them, in its opinion, to "big pillows," much like dinosaurs with feathers reduces them from primal beasts to "big chickens." Something made of cloth (or covered in it), at least in this robot's mind, cannot be a significant actor in history.
The robot fails to reason that, among other things, history was what it was, and its wanting things to have been a certain way does not make it so. In addition, just as the clothing-wearing human is more than a mere pillow, and would have held much fearsome power over the world, a feathered dinosaur is not necessarily merely a giant chicken, but is still a powerful killing machine.
The title text references our failure to change the popular image of dinosaurs to reflect the way they truthfully once were. Randall jokingly suggests that we should apply the same "featherless is cooler" logic to popular images of bald eagles (since they are modern dinosaurs), and remove their feathers (only in depictions of them, presumably), leaving them entirely bald. He appears hopeful that such a direct comparison, using the national symbol of the US no less, would provoke the public to change its mind about how dinosaurs are viewed, since modern raptors (birds of prey) are typically viewed with awe and respect, and are not often associated with the "chicken" stereotype mentioned above.
- [Two robots are hovering in mid-air in the comic; what appear to be their optical arrays are facing each other.]
- Robot 1: You know, new research suggests ancient human kings and queens were covered in colorful fabric.
- Robot 2: Ugh, I like movie humans more. Screaming pink warriors with metal crowns poking through the skin on their heads!
- Robot 2: Now they're, what, big pillows?
- Robot 2: Science ruins everything.
It is worth noting that this comic was released a few weeks before the scheduled release of Jurassic World, a reboot of the Jurassic Park movie franchise. This new movie, while supposedly aware of recent advances in dinosaur research, still depicts dinosaurs as giant lizards without feathers. It seems likely that the robot's comment about "pink humans" is targeted at this movie, especially given Randall's many earlier references to Jurassic Park and his fear of velociraptors.

- Everyone knows they're more akin to big cows, anyway. 18.104.22.168 09:33, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- Big spherical cows. --Pudder (talk) 10:22, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- Although most remaining "cows" are actually closer to oblate spheroids ... 184.108.40.206 19:56, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- Big spherical cows. --Pudder (talk) 10:22, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
Robots complaining about science is like humans complaining about evolution. 220.127.116.11 09:49, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- Great line :) --184.108.40.206 10:51, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
Given the title text, the reference to movie humans makes this cartoon likely an oblique commentary on the upcoming film Jurassic World where the dinosaurs remain featherless. 126.96.36.199 10:54, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
I don't really want to see a sequel criticized for maintaining continuity. Think of what it would be like if someone made a 2001 movie where instead of travelling to Jupiter, Hal orchestrated the invasion of Iraq. Wait a second, that would make for an awesome movie.--Dave126.96.36.199 13:36, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- LOL! :) KieferSkunk (talk) 23:22, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
Personally, I wouldn't like being chased with Aepyornis either, and noone ever doubted Aepyornis had feathers. -- Hkmaly (talk) 11:45, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
I wonder which movie Robot #2 is referring to. Something with a crowned monarch and lots of (almost) naked warriors. 300 perhaps? Smperron (talk) 12:47, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure their talking about future films, we make films about prehistoric dinosaurs, so the robots make films about prehistoric humans(pre robot history) --22.214.171.124 13:36, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- except for the use of "their", I'm in complete agreement. I'm gonna make a few tweaks, accordingly - Brettpeirce (talk) 14:18, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- Robot 2 isn't referring to a current movie, I think this is set roughly 65million years in the future. So i've removed the part about Troy and other sword and sandal films -- Zeimusu (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- I assume it's more that skeletons and metal are much more likely to survive than clothes. Perhaps, they often see the crowns nearby the skulls in digs and assume that they were attached in life. 184.108.40.206 19:24, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
Dinosaurs with feathers. Yawn. The idea is already tired. Dinosaurs with feathers cool? I just picture the T-Rex in Jurassic Park chasing the car to the tune of the Chicken Dance and it doesn't take me long to realise how cool feathered dinosaurs really are. 220.127.116.11 21:49, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- What's tired is the idea that dinosaurs evolved and developed in such a way for people to find cool millions of years later. Then again, lets see how tired you are when my cloned puffball T-rexes have chased you down! Hahaha! -Pennpenn 04:35, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
"covered with colorful fabric" - "big pillows" - Am I the only person who thinks the robots have discovered, and are taking as authoritative, a furniture store ad for king and queen size beds? 22.214.171.124 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Could this also be reference to Stephen Hawking's recent comments about computers overtaking humans with AI ("Checkmate" - HAL)? 126.96.36.199 04:32, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
Though it's almost certainly not a reference, this reminds me of the Futurama episode "Fear on a Bot Planet" (the one where they have to deliver something to a robot controlled planet where humans are thought of as highly destructive horror movie monsters). -Pennpenn 22.214.171.124 04:41, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
I was thinking that "growing metal out of their head" is a Viking reference -- in the romantic depiction of a Warrior with a Helmet with horns Horned_helmet. Spongebog (talk) 06:05, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
- Could be, but I would assume he would have gone futher with it then, since that is another historically false idea. I am assuming he just referring to a future trend of depicting crowns as ingrown in kings heads. Carewolf (talk) 13:58, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
Isn't it worth noting that dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are cloned, and their DNA is patched up with frog DNA? Michael Crichton also wrote about the dinosaurs not being exactly how they used to be in the books because of it. I would have thought it strange if the dinosaurs in Jurassic World looked different from how they did in Jurassic Park as they exists in the same continuity. They even mention the T-Rex has lived on the Island for more than 20 years. RavenLiquid (talk) 12:03, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
- I wonder if, when they eventually do a full reboot of the franchise, they'll say they patched up the dinosaurs with bird DNA, since that kind of make more sense than frogs. I mean, as much sense as any of it makes. -Pennpenn 18.104.22.168 23:52, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
- The frog DNA was a huge plot point (at least in the books) as all dinosaurs were female (to control the population), and frogs can change sex if the environment has to much of either sex. So the dinosaurs got this trait from the frogs and were reproducing (the famous life finds a way quote).RavenLiquid (talk) 10:07, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
This might sound weird, but it reminds me of that Spongebob episode where at the end, some floating creatures, taking pictures with their tongue, visit Jellyhenge or something. The Twenty-second. The Not So Only. The Nathan/Nk22 (talk) 18:04, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
Usually I would say I understand xckd just by reading it. But this one puzzled me enough to look up what an "explain xkcd" had to say. I actually thought the Kings and Queens being "big pillows" remark referred to use of the words for mattress sizes (as well as possibly the colorful fabric being sheets or comforters). But since the comic is about misunderstandings over long periods of time, it may be deliberately confusing. 126.96.36.199 05:28, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
I'm guessing there's nothing genius about this. Randall thought "I'll recreate the dinosaur feathers reaction but in the future with humans instead of dinosaurs" and then something popped into his mind about those prehistoric movies from the 60s with mostly naked people or 300 or something and he threw the word movie in. It didn't really make sense, it wasn't really funny, but he just published it anyway. - 188.8.131.52 14:02, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
The post claims that Jurassic World is a reboot of the franchise, but that isn't strictly true. There is some retconning of some events to allow for the events to believably fit into the continuity of the previous films, but the overall plot is unchanged. 184.108.40.206
"Now they're, what, big pillows?"; I took this to mean that rather than humans being extinct in this comic, it takes place in a future where obesity is common, no humans work. So if humans are just fat and sit around all day, that would explain the pillow comparison. Maybe? -220.127.116.11 04:13, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Published in Bathroom by Roger Dartuan at Friday, June 16th 2017 07:05:00 AM.
I am certain there are numerous in this world that would have astounding bathroom interiors that can be introduced in their houses. This is not on account of reason, since bathroom is where everyone wash the earth from their bodies away, making themselves clean from the soil of whit world. Obviously, to get a reviving shower that way, one ought to have a spotless bathroom that is additionally cute in design. Along these lines, the individual can wash up with euphoria, and he would love remaining in his bathroom as far as might be feasible. To give motivation for the best bathroom style that can make the bathroom more pleasant, I will give a few cases of bathroom interiors by Ambiance Bain. One of the designs is a minimalist design where the designer joins black and white for the bathroom. The wall is in the color of white, while the floor is made with black tiles. The same goes for within the showering box, as within has white floor and black walls. To improve the bathroom, a portion of the little ornaments, for example, the cleanser tube and the pot for the bamboo can be in the color of green to make the bathroom look new.
Another case is the place Ambiance Bain utilizes wood and the blend of cement for its design. In here, the white solid wall is put amidst the room, making a division some way or another inside the room. The wooden part of the wall is introduced at the base of the walls, while the upper top is made of cement on the solid wall amidst the room, a sink with wooden casing is appended to it. The same goes for the wooden shelf put at the highest point of the sink and the mirror that is put over the shelf. Yellow modern chair decorates the back of the wall, and some little decorations are put on the shelves and the sink to make the room more colorful. For instance, three indistinguishable black models are set on the shelf, alongside the silver chimes resemble the other alike at the opposite side of the shelf. A small pruned plant is set along the edge of the sink a beside the wall for some refreshment.
Wonderful Simplicity in Bathroom Interiors
As it can be seen, the designs are not that difficult to make. Truth be told, they are in reality truly simple to be made. The designs are simple, and the things that emerge the most from these designs are the small ornaments. Be that as it may, that is the thing that makes these designs marvelous! A simple bathroom is certainly lovely in its own particular manner. Plus, the general purpose of bathrooms is to shower, so why make them so conservative? The charming bathroom interiors by Ambiance Bain is a proof that even the simplest things can be wonderful and magnificent, including this simple design of bathrooms.

Hudson has been a beast off the bench for the Cavs over the last three games, averaging 24.5 ppg. From the Plain Dealer: "Hudson, who signed his second 10-day contract on Monday, has taken advantage, much as fellow D-Leaguer Jeremy Lin did in New York. 'The Linsanity thing I thought was similar to what's going on right now with Lester,' Scott said when asked to name another player who had this kind of impact.
