'The Oxford anthology of the Brazilian short story' contains a selection of short stories by the best-known authors in Brazilian literature from the late nineteenth century to the present. With few exceptions, these stories have appeared in English translation, although widely separated in time and often published in obscure journals. Here they are united in a coherent edition representing Brazil's modern, vibrant literature and culture. J.M. Machado de Assis, who first perfected the genre, wrote at least sixty stories considered to be masterpieces of world literature. Ten of his stories are included here, and are accompanied by strong and diverse representations of the contemporary story in Brazil, featuring nine stories by Clarice Lispector and seven by João Guimarães Rosa. The remaining 34 authors include Mário de Andrade, Graciliano Ramos, Osman Lins, Dalton Trevisan, and other major names whose stories in translation exhibit profound artistry. The anthology is divided into four major periods, 'Tropical Belle-Époque', 'Modernism', 'Modernism at Mid-Century', and 'Contemporary Views'. There is a general introduction to Brazilian literary culture and introductions to each of the four sections, with descriptions of the authors and a general bibliography on Brazil and Brazilian literature in English. It includes stories of innovation (Mário de Andrade), psychological suspense (Graciliano Ramos), satire and perversion (Dalton Trevisan), altered realities and perceptions (Murilo Rubião), repression and sexuality (Hilda Hilst, Autran Dourado), myth (Nélida Piñón), urban life (Lygia Fagundes Telles, Rubem Fonescal), the oral tale (Jorge Amado, Rachel de Queiroz) and other overarching themes and issues of Brazilian culture. The anthology concludes with a haunting story set in the opera theater in Manaus by Milton Hatoum.

Maureen Holloway –
Scout Willis, the 22 year daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, has taken to the streets of New York topless, posting shots of herself to Twitter,. It's to protest Instagram's no nudity policy, and social media's censorship of women in general. I guess everyone needs a cause…
Scout is seen walking on a sidewalk topless carrying her purse, and then outside a grocery stand, looking at some flowers. As she points out, it's legal to go topless in NYC, but not in Instagram, so, as her dad would say, nippy kay yay.
It's official – Apple has bought Beats Electonics, Dr. Dre's high end headphones company, for a cool 3 billion dollars. The sale is significant largely because it now owns Beats Music, the online music streaming.
Dr Dre claims he's the first hip hop billionaire. His parents must be so proud – a billionaire AND a doctor.

The move comes after the Railtrack Shareholders Action Group, speaking for nearly half the former FTSE 100 company's shares, was informed overnight by the Treasury Solicitor that neither Byers nor the Government intends to disclose documents demanded by out-of-pocket investors.
Shareholders, led by giant US mutual funds Fidelity and Franklin Resources and major European finance houses such as UBS and Deutsche Bank, are seeking papers from Byers over his claims that he put Railtrack into administration because it was insolvent. Railtrack's recent delayed interim figures showed a spiralling debt mountain of £4.5bn but did not point to insolvency.
Transport Department sources said their legal advisers had cautioned that the shareholders have no legal right to the papers and that the disclosure demands were too broad.
RSAG members accused Byers of stringing them along after his officials had initially asked for more time.

Greg Reardon, 27, created a page on fundraising website JustGiving for the Missing People charity on New Year's Day.
Mourners have made donations of up to £200 and left scores of tributes to the 25-year-old landscape architect, who was found dead on Christmas Day in Bristol.
Jane Turner donated £10 and said: "I will always remember Jo and the fun we had together xxx."
Another friend, Robert Tanti, gave £25 and posted: "Jo, you were instantly likeable. You will forever live in our memories. Greg you truly are amazing, and we are proud to have you as our friend."
Martin Houghton-Brown, chief executive of Missing People, said: "It is deeply heartening that even at a time of crisis the family and friends of Joanna Yeates, and their supporters, are so selflessly supporting other families affected."
The page, www.justgiving.com/joannayeates, will stay open in Ms Yeates's memory until 2016.
Police are studying CCTV footage from cameras on the Clifton Suspension Bridge to see if her killer's car can be traced.

Bodegas Barco de Piedra Tempranillo 2010
Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, Spain
Currently Unavailable $17.00
Try the 2015 Vintage 1599
Winemaker Notes
A glass-staining opaque purple, it offers up an enticing bouquet cedar, spice box, violets, cassis, and black cherry. This is followed by a rich, flavorful, firm wine that will evolve for 1-2 years. This lengthy bargain will drink well through 2015. It is what over-delivering is all about.
Critical Acclaim
Bright purple. Blackberry and boysenberry scents are bright and expressive. Pliant, sweet dark berry preserve flavors show good clarity and freshness, with gentle tannins adding grip. A spicy quality builds on the taut, energetic finish. Offers good immediate appeal but I suspect that this will be even better with a year or so of bottle age.
Rating: 89(+?)
Bodegas Barco de PiedraView all wine
Barco de Piedra is a joyous affirmation of the beauty and purity of the Tempranillo grape as it is grown in the Ribera del Duero DO. The noble Tempranillo, called Tinto Fino or Tinta del Pais by locals, has suffered from producers who like to use excessive "make up," too much new oak or winemaking technique, which obscures the identity of the grape. The logic behind Barco de Piedra is simple: the Tempranillo grape grown... View More

Time zones and population distribution, for one.
For starters there's only 6 teams in the entire league that are based in the Pacific Time Zone - and 4 of them are in 'shared' markets (Oakland is different than San Francisco and Anaheim is different than LA...but they're still in the same metro area...not to mention San Diego is ~2 hours away from both the Dodgers and Padres).
The Giants absolutely should have more games on national TV than the Red Sox...but the Red Sox draw a crowd, no matter how ****** they are. Almost 50% of the nation lives on EST and another ~32% on CST...only <15% of the country lives on PST so it should come as no surprise that the national game is going to pander to the majority instead of the minority.
And to be fair the 'west of St. Louis' grab is a bit harsh as that is only 1/3 of the league - and a disproportionate amount of those teams are lousy (Minnesota, Kansas City, Houston, Seattle, potentially Arizona...maybe Oakland falls back to Earth...Los Angeles is on the list so that leaves only the Rangers, Giants, and Angels really being slighted in any way...and even then they're all getting at least 6 games, as are the A's).
In other words out of 164 possible combinations in 82 games 31 are teams on the West Coast...meaning 18.9% of those possibilities involve teams from a time zone that has a little less than 15% of the population.
"The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile, but that it is indifferent. If we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death, our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light." - Stanley Kubrick

On Today, Russert, Mitchell, and Lauer highlight Clinton's tax returns, don't mention McCain's
Research ››› ››› JEREMY HOLDEN
On Today, Matt Lauer, Tim Russert, and Andrea Mitchell discussed Bill and Hillary Clinton's tax returns, speculating about, in Lauer's words, the "actual impact" the returns will have on "those so-called blue-collar workers that are so much a part of her base." They did not mention that Sen. John McCain has yet to release his tax returns, nor did they speculate as to what impact McCain's family's wealth would have on his ability to connect with "blue-collar workers."
During the April 7 edition of NBC's Today, NBC chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell asserted of the April 4 release of Sen. Hillary Clinton's and former President Bill Clinton's recent tax returns, "The numbers are stunning," and NBC News Washington bureau chief Tim Russert stated that "the tax returns, $109 million, $15 million a year," adding, "The average, median income in Pennsylvania is $46,000." After co-host Matt Lauer asked, "[W]hat is the actual impact on those so-called blue-collar workers that are so much a part of her base?" Russert responded, "We don't know. Will there people who say, 'This is Washington as usual, this is cashing in on the presidency'? Or, 'Hey, they worked that hard; they earned it'?" Russert, Mitchell, and Lauer did not note that Sen. John McCain has yet to release his tax returns; nor did any of them speculate as to what impact McCain's family's wealth would have on his ability to connect with "blue-collar workers."
A Media Matters for America review of the Nexis news database found no instances of Russert discussing McCain's tax returns in the last three months.*
From the April 7 edition of NBC's Today:
MITCHELL: [Former Clinton campaign adviser Mark] Penn's departure comes on top of tax returns that may raise a few eyebrows, as Clinton faces critical primaries in blue-collar states. In Montana Sunday, she tried to explain her newfound wealth.
CLINTON [video clip]: If you follow the news, you know that for the first time in Bill's or my life, we actually make more money than $250,000 a year. We didn't ask for those tax cuts; we didn't want them.
MITCHELL: The numbers are stunning: $109 million before taxes, an instant target for Saturday Night Live.
[begin video clip]
AMY POEHLER (SNL cast member): It turns out that over those years, my husband and I made about $109 million in income.
DARRELL HAMMOND (SNL cast member): That's a bunch of money.
POEHLER: We made a lot of money. As I said yesterday, most of that money -- about $50 million -- was made by Bill doing what he loves to do best -- talking to people.
HAMMOND: That is what I love to do best. Talk to people. Nothing more.
[end video clip]
MITCHELL: The tax returns reveal Bill Clinton is paid very well to talk -- almost $52 million in paid speeches. And the Clintons earned another combined $40 million from their books.
RUSSERT: She has to look like a winner. She looks -- has to show a campaign of strength. Every article today, Matt, talks about the struggling campaign had to release its campaign strategist. That, coupled with the tax returns, $109 million, $15 million a year. The average, median income in Pennsylvania is $46,000. This is not the kind of double-punch story the Clintons want two weeks before the Pennsylvania primary.
LAUER: Well -- well, let's stop and let's talk about that for a second. Do you think those numbers -- and they're big numbers, $109 million, $33 million in taxes, by the way, and $10 million given to charity -- what is the actual impact on those so-called blue-collar workers that are so much a part of her base?
RUSSERT: We don't know. Will there people who say, "This is Washington as usual, this is cashing in on the presidency"? Or, "Hey, they worked that hard; they earned it"?

A frequency stabilized single broad area laser in a V-shaped external cavity is used for Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) in a waveguide channel with dimensions of 3 μm × 5 μm × 10 mm of a PP-MgO:LN crystal. A maximum coupling efficiency of 63% could be obtained. An optical output power of 100.4 mW of visible light at 488 nm could be generated with 265 mW of coupled infrared light. This results in a single pass conversion efficiency of 37.8%. No photorefractive damage or saturation effects were observed.

The development of drug resistance is a major theoretical
concern with the long-term delivery of aerosolized antibiotics via
inhalation. A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, which
compared inhaled tobramycin plus standard cystic fibrosis (CF) care to
placebo plus standard CF care, examined the following microbiological
parameters: percentage of patients with at least one Pseudomonas
aeruginosa (PA) strain with a minimal inhibitory concentration
(MIC) > 16 μg/mL (ie, the breakpoint for tobramycin
resistance delivered by the parenteral route); changes in the levels of
the lowest concentration required to inhibit the growth of 50% of
strains tested (MIC50) and 90% of strains tested
(MIC90); the percentage of patients with an increase,
decrease, or change in the MIC of the most resistant and most prevalent
PA strains; and the percentage of patients in whom the PA strain with
the highest MIC also was the most prevalent. During the first 6 months,
which included three on-drug and off-drug cycles of 4 weeks' duration
each, the percentage of tobramycin-treated patients with at least one
PA isolate and with an MIC > 16 μg/mL was 13% at baseline, 26% at
20 weeks, and 23% at 24 weeks vs 10%, 17%, and 8%, respectively,
for placebo-treated patients. No significant change was observed in
MIC50 at 20 and 24 weeks. The increase in MIC90
was not statistically significant. At 24 weeks, there was no increase
in the percentage of patients in either group in whom the PA strain
with the highest MIC became most the prevalent strain. After the third
on-drug cycle, 33% of the tobramycin group showed an increase in the
MIC of the strain with the highest MIC. This decreased to 26% after 1
month off drug therapy. A preliminary analysis of the 12-month and
18-month data showed a decrease in the proportion of resistant PA
isolates after each off-drug cycle. This return to susceptibility
following an off-drug cycle was not observed at 24 months. The
mechanism of resistance in this setting is believed to be increased
impermeability to drug. At all time points, pulmonary function improved
even in patients with MICs of ≥ 128 μg/mL. At 6 months, no increase
was seen in the rates of superinfection with tobramycin-resistant,
Gram-negative pathogens. Increases in Stenotrophomonas
maltophilia were detected in patients after 18 and 24 months of
tobramycin therapy and were similar to those rates in patients
receiving placebo. These rates may be independent of inhalation

Kolkata, March 19: While supporters of both India and Pakistan were eagerly waiting for the high-voltage World Cup T20 clash at the Eden Gardens, the rain gods were hinting at damp day ahead.
World T20 Special Site; Photos; Match preview
The city witnessed light rain since morning on Saturday and the Met office predicted thunderstorm in the evening. The news has left the fans worried. [India have never lost to Pak in WC; Pak have never lost to India in limited-overs at Eden]
What if the match is washed out?
In case the match is abandoned because of rain, the points will be split between both teams. India, who lost their first match against New Zealand, will hope for a full match as the loss of a point could place them at a disadvantage. Pakistan, with two points in their kitty, will be less affected by a washo-out.
#WT20: Rains threaten to play spoilsport ahead of #IndvsPak clash in #Kolkata https://t.co/42GUEVlHTa pic.twitter.com/YSeTeYRFP0— ABP News (@abpnewstv) March 19, 2016
Efforts on to keep the pitch dry
Eden officials put to use modern equipment to keep the ground and the wicket dry. Sambaran Banerjee, a former Bengal cricketer, told a local news channel that moisture in the wicket could help the Pakistani pacers extract swing during the match. The new cover brought from England should keep the wicket dry, he said.

iOS 8.1.3 is out, and if you own an older iPhone or iPad, there's only one question worth asking: Does Apple really hate you?
The evidence seems to be that Apple does. Back in September, when Apple launched iOS 8, many owners of older iOS devices found some serious bugs after they installed the new operating system. The worst one wouldn't allow them to connect to a WiFi network, or to stay connected to a WiFi network.
That's quite a serious bug, rendering some iPads worthless and making some iPhones nearly unusable for those who are data-hungry. But Apple hasn't treated the bug seriously. Since the release of iOS 8 in September, there's been quite a few updates. First came 8.0.1, which caused so many problems Apple had to withdraw it. Then came 8.0.2, 8.1, 8.1.1, and 8.1.2. Over all that time, the bug remained. And now Apple has released 8.1.3. Guess what? The bug is still there. And there's no word from Apple when it might get fixed, if ever.
Users of older iOS devices, desperate to find solutions, have flooded the Apple Support Communities forum in a thread dedicated to the problem. As I write this, there are more than 525,000 messages devoted to it and no answers. How desperate are people to find a solution? One person has floated the idea of manually replacing the WiFi chip, although it's not clear that would do anything. A more typical message is this one from someone identified as mkbinc:
Anybody tried the new iOS 8.1.3 update that was release just a few mins ago and if it fixes the wifi issue? Ever since I upgraded my iPad to to iOS8, all it does is gather dust. No wifi, even if it connects it does to the 5GHz and only for a minute or so.
Sorry, mkbinc. The update doesn't fix the problem. It also doesn't fix another big problem some owners of older iOS devices have been having, the so-called 'GMT bug,' which places calendar events in Greenwich Mean Time when events are synchronized across iOS devices. And there are other problems it hasn't fixed as well.
The 8.1.3 update fixed a few more minor bugs. It doesn't appear that it will do you any harm to install it. But if you're a user of an older iOS device, it won't do you much good, either.
So for now, if you want to fix the problem of your older iOS device having WiFi problems in iOS 8, Apple gives you one solution: Throw it out and buy a new one.

Being frugal is a practice of many successful entrepreneurs.
There is no secret to being successful and wealthy. All successful entrepreneurs will attest to the same conditional requirement: hard work, the right mental attitude, integrity and to be focused.
Many people can be managers but not all can be a good leader.
Logically Mr. Mydin could easily find employment and work with his father. But this meant his entrepreneurial abilities will not be tested. So Mr. Gulam arranged his son Mr. Mydin to work in a friend's shop. Later Mr. Mydin worked with his brother-in-law, Mr. Peerbhai.
He knew the way but he needed some directions.
The trick with retail business is to know and sell what your customers want and not what you want.
In life there are people who may not learn anything when they experience an event in their lives. But not Mr. Mydin. New ideas flowed and together with his family he turned a flood event in Kota Bharu to a profit making deal.
When asked about accumulated wealth, "I have no properties, no land, no big bungalows, or many luxurious cars. What I do have and what are my greatest wealth are my four sons. They are my precious diamonds!"
- Mr. Mydin Mohamed -

The lack of a proper definition in the law of what makes a trademark well-known can cause problems for rights owners, says Tehemtan N. Daruwalla.
In its meeting in Helsinki in September 2013, the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI) will consider Working Question 234: "The relevant public for determining the degree of recognition of famous marks, well-known marks and marks with a reputation." What AIPPI thinks today, the world thinks tomorrow. In India, the situation is complex.
The Indian Trademarks Act 1999 does not refer to famous marks or notorious marks. Section 2(1)(zg) defines "well-known trademarks", which in relation to any goods or services, means a mark which has become well-known to a substantial segment of the consumer public.
The Paris Convention and the TRIPS Agreement do not define well-known marks. Article 6bis of the convention provides for protection of "well-known marks". India, as a member of the convention, is bound to follow those provisions and those of the TRIPS Agreement.

Commercial Electronic Messages. You must have the express or implied consent of the recipient to send commercial electronic messages, including email messages, or other electronic communications such as text messages. For consent to be valid, it must be knowledgeable, meaning that the individual must know the purpose for which their contact information may be used.
a) Obtaining Express Consent: Canada's anti-spam law (CASL) requires the disclosure of the following information
when seeking consent to send commercial electronic messages: i) the purpose of the request (e.g., sending commercial electronic messages); ii) the name of the person/entity seeking the consent and, if different, the person/entity on whose behalf consent is sought, and which party is seeking consent on the other's behalf; iii) the mailing address and one or more of a phone number, email address, or web address for one of those persons; and iv) that consent may be withdrawn.
b) Obtaining Implied Consent: Implied consent will only exist in the case of an "existing business relationship." "Existing business relationship" is a defined term in the law. Such a relationship will only exist where i) the recipient of the message has made a purchase from the person who sends the message (or causes it to be sent) within the two years prior to the message; ii) the recipient of the message has accepted a business or investment opportunity from the person who sends the message (or causes it to be sent) within the two years prior to the message; iii) there is a written contract between the recipient of the message and the person who sends the message (or causes it to be sent) that does not relate to an item set out in i) or ii) above and that is either currently in existence, or that expired in the two years prior to the message; or iv) the recipient of the message made an inquiry or application of the person who sends the message (or causes it to be sent) regarding a purchase of business opportunity in the six months prior to the message.
c) The "Transactional or Relationship" Exception: CASL provides an exemption from its consent requirement for messages the sole purpose of which is to: i) facilitate, complete, or confirm a commercial transaction into which the recipient
had previously agreed to enter; ii) provide information about warranty, recall, or safety information about a product the recipient has purchased or used; iii) provide notice regarding a subscription, membership, account, loan, or other ongoing relationship with the sender; iv) provide information directly related to an employment relationship or benefit plan in which the recipient is currently involved; v) deliver goods or service, including product updates or upgrades, that the person to whom the message is sent is entitled to receive under a transaction they previously entered. Note: this exception does not apply to the disclosure and unsubscribe requirements below, or to the prohibitions against fraud and false or misleading headers. Neither the consent or message content requirements apply to a response to a request, inquiry, complaint, or other solicitation from the recipient of the message.
d) Unsubscribe Mechanism: Commercial electronic messages must give the recipient the opportunity to opt out of all (or any class of) future commercial electronic messages. An unsubscribe request must be given effect within 10 business days.
The unsubscriber request must function through the same electronic means used to send the communication, and must specify an electronic address or link to a webpage to which the request can be sent. For an email, including only a mailing address for an unsubscribe mechanism would not be sufficient.
e) Required Information: Each commercial electronic message must contain i) the name under which the sender carries on business and, if different, the name under which person on whose behalf the message was sent carries on business. If the message is being sent on behalf of more than one person, (i.e., there is more than one beneficial sender), each of them must be identified; ii) a valid "physical" mailing address for the sender or the person on whose behalf the message was
Page 3 of 4
sent; and iii) one of more of an email address, telephone number, or web address for either the sender or the person on whose behalf the message was sent. All of this information must be set out clearly and prominently.
f ) Penalties: CASL provides for very stringent penalties, including an administrative monetary penalty of up to $10 million, and as of July 1, 2017, a private right of action for $200 per offence, not to exceed $1million on any day on which an offence occurred.

You have to have pay careful attention to detail, be calm in a crisis and able to work in close quarters to be a successful mine inspector. These federal employees work for the Mine Safety and Health Administration inspecting underground and surface mines ensuring that they comply with all applicable laws and regulations. The federal government pays mine inspectors an hourly wage, according to a set grading structure. They are eligible for overtime and receive health, retirement and vacation benefits.
Federal Pay Rates
The federal wage system for all employees, including mine inspectors, ensures all employees performing the same functions receive the same pay. The American Federation of Government Employees' union negotiates pay rates. There are 15 grades with 10 steps per grade in the system. Federal mine inspectors' starting salaries begin at grade GS-7. At GS-7, step one, the annual salary is $33,979, or $16.34 per hour, and at step 10, the salary annual salary is $44,176, or $21.24 per hour.
Geographic Location
Pay differs by geographic location. For the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Gainesville, Georgia-Alabama area, for example, GS-7, step-one pay is $40,534, or $19.49 per hour, which is comparable to the $40,282, or $19.37 per hour, paid to employees in the Cincinnati-Middletown-Wilmington, Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana area. In the Detroit-Warren-Flint area, Michigan's rate at this level is somewhat higher, at $42,165 annually, or $20.27 per hour, and the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside, California area is at $43,208 annually, or $20.77 per hour.
Average Earnings
The national average salary for federal mine inspectors in 2013 was $82,199, or $39.52 per hour, according to the Internet salary survey website Salary Expert. In a random sample of six cities, averages included Miami, $82,095; Dallas, $87,010; New York, $105,576; San Francisco, $110,409; Houston, $82,316 and Washington, $102,532. The average earnings for those in the bottom 10 percent in these six cities was $66,321, or $31.89 per hour, while the average earnings for those in the top 10 percent was $66,321, or $58.38 per hour.
How to Apply
The Mine Safety and Health Administration require applicants to pass a basic math-skills test and writing assessment. You can prepare for the test by reviewing basic high school geometry, algebra and brushing up on basic grammar rules. Note appropriate work experience on your application, such as performing inspections, knowledge of safety regulations, work with construction crews or union experience. If you pass the basic-skills tests and have some relevant experience, the MHSA may choose to interview you, using the structured interview questions covering areas such as your knowledge of mine safety and health, planning and problem solving.

What Are the Strongest and Hardest Metals Known to Man?
Which Metal Has the Most Tensile Strength or Hardness?
Human technology progresses more and more every day. Modern industrial processes require materials capable of withstanding immense pressures while retaining their shape and integrity. For this, engineers generally turn to metals due to their wide availability and malleability.
But what is the strongest metal, and just how strong is it?
The answer to this question depends on how the question itself is framed. Does the practicality of using a metal in any significant amount count? Does it have to be a natural metal, or are alloys considered? What's the difference between strength and hardness? This article attempts to examine the multiple answers to this question, covering each metal with a claim to the title, and arguing its case.
Note: For the sake of clarity, the 'strength' considered is tensile strength, which is how much force an object can withstand before warping, unless otherwise stated.
The Strongest Natural Metal: Tungsten
As far as pure metals go, tungsten has the highest tensile strength, with an ultimate strength of 1510 megapascals. Tungsten also has the honor of having the highest melting point of any unalloyed metal and the second highest melting point in the whole periodic table—only carbon can withstand hotter temperatures. Tungsten is very dense and brittle, making it difficult to work with in all but its purest forms. Tungsten is commonly used in electrical and military applications, and you may find tungsten filaments in light bulbs and tungsten coating that adds a real punch to projectiles. It is also a common component in steel and other alloys, where even a small amount can significantly increase the strength of the alloy.
A megapascal (MPa) is a metric pressure unit, mostly used in hydraulic systems that gauge high pressure ratings, that equals 1,000,000 newtons per square meter (which is a pascal). 1 MPa is equal to 10 Bar.
The Strongest Alloy: Steel
Alloys are a constantly changing field, as researchers attempt to create ever-stronger combinations of elements. Generally, the strongest alloy is steel mixed with a few other elements. Vanadium steel alloys seem to be particularly promising, with several companies releasing variants with ultimate strengths of up to 5205 MPa. The steel that holds this distinction is called Micro-Melt® 10 Tough Treated Tool Steel.
Steel itself is an alloy of iron and carbon, although other elements can also be used. Steel is a highly versatile alloy, meaning a form of it can be made to meet almost any specifications. Steel has been in use for millenniums but became a more exact science during the Renaissance (1300-1700).
An alloy is a metal made by combining two or more metallic elements. This is usually done to achieve greater strength and/or resistance to corrosion.
The Hardest Metal: Chromium
The 'hardness' of a mineral is generally determined by the Mohs scale and is defined as the scratch resistance of a mineral. Diamonds are the hardest minerals known to man, but what is the hardest metal? That honor goes to chromium, a metal perhaps best known as the key ingredient in stainless steel. Chromium is also commonly used in chrome plating, which acts as a form of protection against corrosion and physical damage. Chromium has been recognized for its unique traits since the Qin Dynasty in China, when weapons and armor were coated with the metal and survive to this day, uncorroded and in perfect shape.
The Most Useful Strong Metal: Titanium
With an ultimate strength of about 434 MPa, titanium is the perfect blend of strength and practicality. Its low density makes it perfect for industrial uses requiring a strong metal with a high melting point. Indeed, titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any natural metal known to man. Pure titanium is stronger than standard steel, while being less than half the weight, and can be made into even stronger alloys. Because it is also fairly common, it's no wonder that titanium is used for a multitude of purposes. When it comes to manufacturing, the only strong natural metal worth caring about is titanium.
These metals are the backbone of modern industry, providing the support that keeps our daily lives running smoothly. Whether in the tip of a pen, on the fuselage of an airplane, or in the beams of a tall building, we rely on metals to protect us as we seek to progress ever further. We should consider ourselves lucky that, no matter what our needs, there is something in nature to cover them.
Interesting. (That is also how I voted.)
In my case, it's an architecture degree
Amazing! I feel like I can never learn enough of what our earth is made of, I can't help thinking theres more to be discovered. I was aware of some your assesesments, however I learned more about all of the metals with your hub. Thanks.
useful and interesting content
this information is all wong
What about Tungsten Boride?
what uranium or iridium are the strongest
We love metals!
In reading the comments, I see trolls are every where. Even in the comment section of a very informative article.
Thanks for the information. I learned of a metal I didn't know was considered on the strongest scale.
this website is incorrect cause tungsten is rock in swedish and tungsten is
not a pure metal its 85% tungsten carbine 2% titanium 5& nickle 3% steal
etc. so titanium is the strongest metal by far. and is 100% pure
Well, now I'm a bit confused,!!
I agree with Brandin they use titanium in freakin navy warships
How about everyone does their own research instead of taking random sites for 100 percent correct info. It may take 30 min or more. Oh no.
I really don't get y u are fighting all about this
Titanium iz d bst metal eva useful 2 man nd his handwork.i wish i culd b as useful as titanium.Add Your Comment...
Chromium is the hardest metal. There are some parameters like Mohs Hardness, Brinell Hardness, Vickers Hardness which helps measuring hardness. Here at hardness properties of Chromium you will get all these things other than that you can this metals on the basis of different properties Modern Periodic Table. I hope this is helpful
Magnesium alloy is pretty strong and light.(from what i have heard)
its all wrong, hardest metal is..............vibranium :D
In my opinion Iron is the most useful metal ever.
There is one element Harder. But it is a good thing they didn't mention it....I blush every time!
Geez ppl lighten up..
You are all wrong! The strongest metal is Adamantium!
very funny comments..
eg - take a look at this
Brandin 11 months ago
this website is incorrect cause tungsten is rock in swedish and tungsten is
not a pure metal its 85% tungsten carbine 2% titanium 5& nickle 3% steal
etc. so titanium is the strongest metal by far. and is 100% pure
(tungsten is
not a pure metal its 85% tungsten carbine 2% titanium 5& nickle 3% steal) ---- tungsten carbine
its all about W not WCTiNiFe mixed up.
I'm sorry but this wrong. The hardest man made metal known to man is boron nitride and because it's extremely hard to make its applications are very specialised. I'm a machinist and work with very rare and very expensive alloys/metals every day for use in nuclear reactors, submarines, ships, and all aspects of modern industry and Boron nitride is common knowledge amongst us in the trade and yes they are super steels but they don't even come close in hardness to the above mentioned tungsten as we use Tungsten carbide tools to turn and cut super steel all the time so I'm sorry as far as metallurgy goes this has it all wrong !.
Im a metalurgical chemist for the Federal Alloys and Steels program and Tritorbinite is currently the hardest steel known to man only myself and one other person have ever seen it. I machine it daily for the Nuclear Reactor Core Infrastructure branch of the government. Class 5000 def con 10 clearance.Bow to me.
I try to find a metal's to make things like wepon's a hinden assin blad + Amor like that
can we use them to make a shield?
your wrong it is titanium
what about graphine
what about tungsten carbide?
whats the strongest medal ever?
Does promethium belong on the strongest metals list?
very interesting article....thanks for sharing it
What about Adamantium? LOL
Man these commenters are stupid. The hardest pure metal is Chromium. Yes there are harder alloys you morons, but they are not "pure' metals. Chromium is an element. There is nothing else that makes it up. Titanium is an element as well, but it is neither as strong as Tungsten or as hard as Chromium.
Had to join to call you commenters idiots. Man you are stupid. Hardest NATURAL METAL, Chromium. PERIOD, no debate. Alloys are man made and not natural and therefore not covered in this article. Talkin to you stuart
Second, Strongest natural metal, Tungsten. Period End of discussion.
As far as hardest alloys go, not covered in this list so shut up all you armchair metallurgists.
Award for biggest dumbass goes to Brandin. Tungsten is rock? Tungsten is not a pure metal? Are you friggin serious? It's an element you moron. That means it's pure. And it a metal. And its the strongest natural metal and the second hardest.
Wow that got me an A on my test
thanks you got me a good mark on my project
wouldn't a tungsten and titanium alloy be the strongest?
P.S. I'm only in my first year of science
is it possible to combine tungsten, steel, chromium and tatanium?
What do you know about Hydrogen metal form
Diamond isn't hardest one?
Diamond is not a metal. But yes, its a hardest one.
There is also Cobalt, the metal with the highest heat resistance.
Chromium is not the hardest metal since its only an 8.5 hardness.
Boron is harder and its a 9.5 hardness.
This is by far one of the most ridiculous articles. Everyone knows that adamantium is the strongest metal. For gods sake why else do you think Wolverine was covered in it.
what is the lightest, yet the strongest metal or material on earth, irrelevant to if it is natural or unatural?
Grapheme is the strongest supstinse known to man and titanium is the strongest metal known to man
What is difference b/w strongest and hardest also which metal is lightest and which is the heaviest one?
research graphene
I thought that titanium was the strongest
You forgot surgical hardware. I have titanium in my lower back. It is what keeps me walking!
Love the way it has described the different properties of strongest metals.
Titanium armor, I wanna see this happen
its so nice
This is great

That was gruesome to see. My thoughts go out to Eric Price and his family.
It was ugly... Godspeed...
That breaks my heart. God Speed to the scholar baller Eric Price.....
What happened? I turned on the TV too late.
One of the most gruesome injuries I have ever seen. His foot was literally facing the wrong way. My best out to the young man for a full recovery.

All I know is at the end of the play, one of his lower legs was facing the wrong way. Ambulance came and took him to the hospital.
It didn't look like it came from contact from the tackle. It looked like as he was spinning in the air his toe caught the ground and it either broke or completely dislocated his ankle.
RB Evan Price was taken away in ambulance, looks like broken tibia/fibula or ankle. Foot was facing wrong way. Prayers to Evan and his family.
That was very bad to see. Never want to see any player go through that. Thank God for good doctors and people taking care of him.
Sad. I've known that kid for years. Great kid and he's a beast on the field. Hope he has a speedy recovery!
N'Keal Henry torn ACL, Connor Murphy 2 severe hernias. Neither will play next year, stock is probably dropping.

Well I agree with the first part of your name.
N'Keal hurt his ankle, thats what Aguano told me.
Connor's injury isn't a year long rehab.

I practice counseling that engages the spiritual life of my clients and that enables them to draw strength from God . The whole therapeutic process intends to honor the being and values of the client, sometimes reminding them of biblical parables and the context of Jesus as healer, but never tryng to steer them toward my personal beliefs. I have had great success using this approach, and have had clients be very comfortable with it. I should note that I also work with clients of other faiths and of no faith, who are aware that I am a Christian and a minister, but who also feel respected.

Source: Melody Maker ~1975
Submitted by: Art Van-Delay
by Phil Genoux, WHY CAN'T there be any justice in Rock Music? The recent critical acclamation of Queen and their new Album strikes me as the paragon of injustice.
Queen's music and image are just pure hype: "We don't want to be outrageous. It's in us" Freddie Mercury tells us; surely no one falls for this in 1975? However, the answer is, sadly, that the record-buying public and the critics lap it up. For example, in his review of the Album 'A Night At The Opera', Harry Doherty states that Freddie Mercury's "eccentricity is disclosed on 'Bohemian Rhapsody'". Yet this "eccentricity" is carefully contrived by Freddie Mercury with the aim of trying to project himself as an outstanding phenomenon.
Now that Queen have got the press on their side, there is nothing to stop them from fooling thousands of rock fans into believing that they are one of the true originals of rock.
The unadulterated bias of the press, as well as its apparent gullibility, is most distasteful. For example, when Pink Floyd took a very long time to make 'Wish You Were Here', this was seen in Floyd by the critics as "lack of confidence in their own material". Whereas when Queen took a long time over their Album 'A Night At The Opera' it was seen by Harry Doherty as "perfectionism".
Rock, then, I am left to conclude, is a dirty game, of which the sole objective is to make as much money as possible. And it seems that Harry Doherty is the prototype sucker in this game; the best album other than Queen's, 'A Night At The Opera' released this year, so Harry Doherty tells us, is Roxy Music's 'Syren', which is another example of music which is accompanied by a grossly overplayed image for the purpose of material gain. Unless the record-buying public and the rock critics wake up to the fact that they are being exploited by the likes of Queen, then there is no chance of true talent getting its rightful acclaim, and therefore no chance of there ever being justice in rock music.

|Ship Quality
|Small ship for a 'large cruise ship'. Pool is not large and neither are the 4 (tiny\, 6 person max) hot tubs. So if pools and hot tubs matter to you\, maybe not your best choice. We never used them but didn't care because we were always on shore. Note\, they allow smoking in the casino on deck 7\, and because of the open nature of the ship this floats into the atrium and contaminates that whole deck (and drifts up and down through the atrium). This was disgusting to me but workable (we avoided deck 7 entirely and would go up to 8 or down to 6\, cross the length of the ship\, then go back to 7 if we had to get somewhere on it). Obviously this meant we never used the casino. So if you like gambling\, but not smoking\, I would look elsewhere.
|Food and Dining
|Freestyle cruising is great - there are no set dinner times\, so you eat when you're hungry and don't need reservations (except at the specialty restaurants). We ate at all the Specialty Restaurants. I recommend the Italian one (Il Adagio at $15 cover). I wouldn't do the other two again. The steak one was pretty good\, but not worth it in my opinion (Cagney's at $30 cover). The French Restaurant (Le Bistro) was horrible\, truly awful. They refunded our money entirely and I still feel ripped-off. You'd be better off having a bowl of cereal. Seriously skip this. Was the food on the cruise ship fantastic? No. But I wouldn't expect that at the cheap cost. If I did it again\, I'd skip the specialty restaurants. There was always something tasty enough to eat in the main sit down restaurants or buffet (always eat at the outdoor one\, the inside is cramped and the outdoor one serves the same stuff with no line and available seating).
|Cabin / Stateroom
|I actually can't complain here. We had a cheap inside room on deck 9 (room 9315). Deck 9 is great because it's between two other 'stateroom floors' so you're not below the pool or a disco for example. Our room was immediately beside the elevator and I couldn't get over how quiet it was. I had brought earplugs expecting the worst\, but never used them and never heard a thing from our room. The beds were a bit hard for me\, but I slept great every night. Rooms are small and nothing fancy but clean and all that I needed. Bathrooms were clean and more spacious than many boats (non-cruise ships ) I've been on. The itinerary is so great\, you're never in your room\, so if you're looking to save some money\, I would get an inside cabin again without question.
|Service and Staff
|As with anywhere\, there were some great staff and some duds. Stewards are wonderful and a few gems here and there\, other staff are uninterested or friendly but fairly useless. I wouldn't make my decision on this point\, most staff were nice and helpful.
|I would not want to spend a lot of sea days on this vessel (or even a full one really) but the itinerary is so great\, there's plenty to entertain yourself in the few hours in the evenings. The shows are cheesy and amateur (comedian was funny but dancing not impressive) and they insist on playing loud music everywhere (I mean loud\, the singers in some of the lounges are pretty good\, but often it's too loud to want to stay and listen). This wasn't a deal breaker for me though because we had such great days onshore (went ashore all day on each island but didn't do the organized tours\, we did our own).

To a connoisseur, there would be no doubt about the main component in this smart, four-variety blend. It's syrah, at 48 per cent, revealed conspicuously by the uncanny northern Rhône-style notes of white pepper, plum and – ever so subtly and pleasantly – cured meat. As for the rest of the medley: cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and merlot. It's got impressive complexity and poise for the money as well as firm structure owing to juicy acidity and a dusting of fine-grained tannins. Good for grilled poultry or grilled sausages.Report Typo/Error

The truth is, that these commandments by themselves are of little use in private judgment.
They have taken what they found, and have used no private judgment at all.
The Reformation did not give private judgment; private judgment gave the Reformation.
Is it right, or is it wrong, to begin with private judgment?
Ministers and laymen were to have liberty of private judgment.
In all these cases the right of private judgment can not be disputed.
private judgment, it was declared, was a sufficient interpreter even of the profoundest utterances.
Public judgment of decision, and private judgment of discerning.
Was it by each one exercising the right of private judgment?
You were always a stickler for the rights of private judgment.

March 08, 2011
It's an iconic image, taken near the very apex of the Los Angeles Lakers' Showtime dynasty. Twenty-five years ago, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Brian Lanker gathered Magic Johnson, Kurt Rambis, Michael Cooper and Byron Scott to stand for a shoot featuring the team's most famous fan, Jack Nicholson. The resultant image eventually made its way to Sports Illustrated, the perfect documentation of the cool-yet-cheeky Laker team of that era.
With Scott now coaching in Cleveland, and the 25th anniversary of that photograph nearing, Waiting For Next Year's Scott Sargent approached Scott at a Cavaliers shootaround with the image, wanting to get his take on the famous photograph. Scott's Cavaliers are mired in a miserable 12-50 season, and Sargent thought that the mention of the photo would be a welcome respite in an otherwise dreary season for Scott.
"All of us were kind of connected to Jack," said Scott of the celebrity sixth man. "I remember doing the shoot. It [only] took about 15 or 20 minutes, but we had a good time doing it."
While the years past may all blend together for Scott, who did recall the exact year of the photoshoot, the one other aspect the former shooting guard recalls was the fact that Nicholson was not as light as the four players thought he would be. As a result, the everso-photogenic Lake Show would have to get creative. With Michael Cooper and Magic Johnson holding up both ends, Kurt Rambis was forced to use his left leg as well as his arm round the outside of Nicholson's body while Scott was forced to put his sculpted shoulders to work.
Byron went on to mention his own "nice legs," as well.
Sargent thought it best to try and track down Lanker at his house in Oregon to get his take on the proceedings. What was supposed to be a light-hearted on-record reflection, though, turned into something else altogether.
Sadly, Lanker -- now 64-years old and easily the least known member of the triumvirate listed above -- was recently diagnosed with late-stage cancer.
A cold call to an Oregon area code, I find myself talking to a complete stranger, spilling my story to a woman who I presume is his wife. She listens acutely as I explain how I am a Cleveland-based scribe who is doing a piece on a picture Brian captured 15 years ago (she knew exactly which photo I was speaking of, a true testament to his work) and was hoping to get a few words with the man who is responsible for a photoshoot that is still being discussed more than a decade after the fact.
This would be when she dropped the bomb and my jaw in one teary-eyed sentence. Understandably, she would explain that Brian is not going to be "talking business" with anyone for a while due to the news which he was unfortunately graced with this past Friday, but that I was more than welcomed to try back in a month or so. All of the awards, all of the covers and even his first documentary film -- at this point, they all mean very, very little.

"Seems like everything but what I want to buy is discounted for Christmas," observed Duane as we pulled out of the hardware store parking lot.
"It does seem like the stores started early with their discounts this year," Survival Sam said. "I saw a headlined saying 'Recession Fears Grow as Inventories Swell.' It seems warehouses are bulging with goods. People aren't buying as much. Blame it on the mortgage crisis and perhaps a few other things."
"I hear relatives who work in retail saying there's even concern about cutting employee hours, which is not what you'd expect this time of year," added Duane.
"That's rather ominous, isn't it?" Sam said. "I understand Wal-Mart started their holiday discounts as early as October 1."
"Can you believe that?" I said. "They must really be in the Christmas spirit, don't you think?"
"Maybe they've got a bad case of swelling inventories," Duane said. "Ever had swelling inventories? I hear they're quite painful. Not even long lasting ice packs help."
Sam and I both laughed at that one.
Then I asked, "Are consumers—you and me—not buying because we have enough stuff? Do you think we have everything we want already?"
"I think people are waking up to a budget crunch at home. I know the media paints a pretty bleak picture many times, but I wonder if they're coming to the scene a little late. Things may not be as rosy as many in government or the Federal Reserve might have us believe. How many times have we heard them say the fundamentals are sound? Many people are losing their homes and jobs, and many may simply be afraid of what's coming down the pike. There's a lot of insecurity right now. Perhaps some people are reprioritizing. It's time to stop and ask, What do we need vs. what do we want?"
"That's more gloom and doom, isn't it, Sam?" I asked.
"Not really. Things are different this year than they were last year or even two years ago at this time, and I think there's a growing collective awareness of that."
"Do you have a survival strategy in mind?" asked Duane.
"Start by taking one step at a time," Sam said. "I've already suggested buying food to have on hand. How about leaving the big screen TV for someone else to buy? Put some of that Christmas money toward buying practical things for yourself. Get things you can use if we're hit by a winter storm, like a propane heater and 20 gallon propane tank. Even if you can only buy one or two items at first, it's a start. It's going to take some rethinking, I realize, and that may mean sitting down and having a family powwow instead of watching the game of the week. Of course, doing this won't cure Wal-Mart's case of swelling inventories, but it's a great way to help you feel much better."
