"He hath said." --Hebrews 13:5
If we can only grasp these words by faith, we have an all conquering weapon in our hand. What doubt will not be slain by this twoedged sword? What fear is there which shall not fall smitten with a deadly wound before this arrow from the bow of God's covenant? Will not the distresses of life and the pangs of death; will not the corruptions within, and the snares without; will not the trials from above, and the temptations from beneath, all seem but light afflictions, when we can hide ourselves beneath the bulwark of "He hath said?" Yes; whether for delight in our quietude, or for strength in our conflict, "He hath said" must be our daily resort. And this may teach us the extreme value of searching the Scriptures. There may be a promise in the Word which would exactly fit your case, but you may not know of it, and therefore you miss its comfort. You are like prisoners in a dungeon, and there may be one key in the bunch which would unlock the door, and you might be free; but if you will not look for it, you may remain a prisoner still, though liberty is so near at hand. There may be a potent medicine in the great pharmacopoeia of Scripture, and you may yet continue sick unless you will examine and search the Scriptures to discover what "He hath said." Should you not, besides reading the Bible, store your memories richly with the promises of God? You can recollect the sayings of great men; you treasure up the verses of renowned poets; ought you not to be profound in your knowledge of the words of God, so that you may be able to quote them readily when you would solve a difficulty, or overthrow a doubt? Since "He hath said" is the source of all wisdom, and the fountain of all comfort, let it dwell in you richly, as "A well of water, springing up unto everlasting life." So shall you grow healthy, strong, and happy in the divine life.

If the brakes are squealing, there's a good chance it is the brake pad wear sensor. A new design was implemented in January 2006 and can be identified by its green color.
Resources for the Repair and Maintenance of your BMW 545i

BMW 545i Problems
New Brake Pad Wear Sensor Design Will Prevent Squealing
Noise From Top of Front/Rear Doors When Windows Are Fully Up
A creak or squeak can be heard from the top of the front or rear doors. This noise is most noticeable when the windows are fully up. The noise is caused by the decay of the flocking material on the door seals. New door seals, Teflon tape, special lube, or a combination of all of these may be needed to eliminate the noise.
BMW 545i Recalls (Recent)
BMW 545i Recall 08V384000
Summary: BMW IS RECALLING 200,000 MY 2006 3 SERIES SPORT SEAT, MY 2004-2006 5 SERIES STANDARD AND SPORT SEAT, AND MY 2004-2006 X3 PASSENGER VEHICLES. DEPENDING ON THE MANNER AND FREQUENCY OF THE FRONT PASSENGER'S ENTRY AND EXIT, SMALL CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE MAT.

Seat Back Side Bolster Heating Element May Be Damaged
RepairPal Expert Overview:
Excessive wear may develop on the side bolsters of the seat backrest. As a result, the seat heater mat located in this area may be damaged. If such damage were to occur, with the system turned on, the occupant may feel excessive heat from the area. The heating element may damage or melt a small hole in this damaged area of the seat cover. If this happened, it could lead to the seat occupant being burned. Dealers will modify the seat heating circuit to correct this concern. This recall is expected to begin during December of 2004.
Incorrectly Manufactured Transmission Component May Allow Vehicle to Move While in Park
RepairPal Expert Overview:
Certain passenger vehicles may have been built with incorrectly manufactured transmission guide plate part. This may cause the parking lock system to not activate when the transmission is placed in park. If the vehicle is parked on an incline and the parking brake is not engaged the vehicle may roll away causing an accident. The dealer will repair and replace the automatic transmission guide plate free of charge. The campaign # is 05V504000
Potential Fuel Leak from Fuel Supply Line
RepairPal Expert Overview:
A circular retention clip at the quick-release fuel line coupling was inadvertently not installed. In the event of a severe frontal crash, the quick release coupling could separate, causing fuel leakage. Any fuel leak always increases the risk of a fire. Dealers will install a retention clip at the quick-release coupling on the fuel supply line. The recall began on July 5, 2004.
The Engine May Stall and/or Not Start
RepairPal Expert Overview:
The digital management control (EMC) unit may not have been produced according to specification. The engine may stall and not restart. As a result, a loss of power steering, and after repeated actuation of the brake pedal, a loss of brake power assist will occur. These conditions could result in a vehicle crash. Dealers will install a new (EMC) unit to correct this issue. This recall began on July 16, 2004.

BMW 545i Reviews
To everybody that owns a 2004-2010 bmw e60 5 series.To start with with I own a 2004 bmw 545i M-sport cold weather Ac Schnitzer sedan alpine white with 160,000 kms second owner dealer serviced since day one by brain jessel bmw in Vancouver b.c. I bought the car few months back and im shocked to see all the repair records on this bmw. the prevous owner started having oil leak problems at 34,000 kms and the list goes from there iol leaks,coolant leaks,abs sensors,transmission leaks etc etc to make a long story short $29,000 in repairs upto today he spent.I luv the feel of this car drives amazing both hwy and city very smooth powerfull car handles great gd fuel milage.i have a lot of friends that have or have owned bmw and are not happy with the amount of repair they require at such low kms,all the oil seals have to be repolaced before 100,000 kms and coolant seals otherwise it will blow blue smoke after 1 minute of idle .valve stem seals are a very big issue with these cars aswell and alternater bracket seal and timing cover seals. basicly you better have a good job or lots of money put away for un expected repairs that are not cheap to own and drive a bmw 5 series or any bmw in that term.long story short great cars to look at and very comfortable to drive great features but the non stop repair will kill your bank account,bmw should have done a recall for all seals on these cars and valve stem seals. hope this helps you guys make sure you have a bmw dealer look over your car before you buy one. cheers!!
I recently had a car door ding on the passager side and had a BBB A+ body shop fix it. Did a great job color match but that is where the great job ended...In order to fix the door properly the door had to come off. Once the door was put back on the collison shop took it to the BMW dealer to reset the airbag senor. When I got the car back the radio dash lights would not stay on. It was cutting out.Took it back to dealer and they said that when they got the car there was standing water in the battery compartment and the terminals had corrosion on the them. They cleaned it off and sucked ont the water but it did not fix it. The battery has a good charge and it is not the original battery. The car had 80,000 when we bought it and it now has 97,000. Any suggestions would be great!!
I have a 2004 545i.... I have had many of the problems listed here. Transmission leaking, thought I was going to have to replace trans. but put new pan and seal on. I am just being easy with it till I trade it in.. it really needs a new transmission but the mechanic advised me to trade it instead of spending $7500 plus on a transmission. Had to replace the cooling fan, have a significant oil leak on the front of the engine. Coolant is leaking from somewhere. Tail light bulbs continuously burn out. I hate that because it runs and drives great. I am going to try to hide the problems and unload it on a BMW dealer and see how they like being stuck with a piece of junk. I also have a 2006 650i convertible with no problems so far, it is under warranty but I haven't needed to use it. The one I need a warranty on doesn't have one.
I have a 545I, It is one the finest driving cars I have ever driven. The car also has the looks. But when it comes to reliability, I would have to rate this car at the bottom. Since I have owned this car, I have had to replace the trany pan, rear struts, alternator, now the check engine light is on, the car has a loud screaching noise when you make a turn at a low speed. The car leaks oil like a thirty year pile of junk. I don't understand how a car manufacturer such as BMW can be proud of making something this bad, It blows me away how they have the balls to charge what they do. I have an old 95 Chevy truck with 240000 miles and I would trust it more then my BMW. Sad, Will not buy another BMW again nor would I recommend to anyone to buy one.
I love my car. Looks just like the front picture, sport suspension and 6 speed stick shift. I purchased my car at 43,000 miles and within 19 months and have 104,000miles. Oil change at BMW every 15,000 miles. Replaced air pump ,check for oil leak at left front in front of head. Had a new clutch and presure plate replaced at 104,000, also starter bendex was cleaned and greesed while transmision was out. Cluch dust cuases bendex on starter to squeel after starting. Airbag sensor in passenger seat, replaced under wanrentee. New battery at 63,000. New tires, Front at 60,000 (michelin Pilot AS) and 104,000(Continetal Extream -DWS), Back at 60,000, 80,000 and 104,000. Wheel alignment at 60,000, 80,000 and 98,000 miles. Still rides like a new car.
The window squeel that owners experience can be eliminated by a cleaner from NAPA.

Plans to boost Melksham economy go on view
8:23pm Wednesday 4th December 2013 in Latest News By Craig Jones
Plans to give east Melksham an economic boost went on display at the Town Hall today.
The proposal being submitted by Guildhall Estates and Pegasus Planning Group, features a Morrisons local, a Marstons pub and five other retail units.
The retail centre, being built off Cranesbill Road, aims to aid new residential developments being built in the east of Melksham.
Andy Radford, Guildhall Estates development manager, said: "This development is designed to serve the local community and it's important the public have the chance to have their say on the proposals."
The plans are expected to be submitted to Wiltshire Council in the new year and if they are accepted the development could be open in the spring of 2015.
Anyone wishing to make a comment about the proposal can email email@example.com.
The deadline for feedback is Monday, December 16.

Wyoming Cowboys 7:00 PM CDT Memorial Stadium Stats Videos
Husker football news, stats and analysis. Updated daily since 2006. firstname.lastname@example.com
We've seen kickoff times announced for three games this season on Nebraska's schedule. Two of them will be prime time games. In the first, the Huskers will host Miami. For the second, the Huskers will travel to face Michigan State. The game against Fresno State won't kick off until 9:30 pm Central time, which means it won't end until after midnight for most NU fans watching at home. Continue →
Nebraska received its 10th commitment for the recruiting class of 2015 when Illinois wideout Spencer Tears gave his pledge to the Huskers following a spring game visit. Tears is 6'2" and 170 lbs. He holds offers from Indiana and Purdue, among others. It appears he's been part of a crowded offense that saw 4 receivers catch 30 or more passes. But he also got rushing opportunities out of the Wildcat and had a big impact returning kicks. Continue →
If basketball season taught Husker fans anything, it's that there are entertaining college sports beyond football. NU baseball is looking like one of them. The Huskers have gotten off to a promising start at 24-14 overall and 7-2 in the Big Ten. Only Indiana has been hotter in the conference. Continue →
Let's say your task is to come up with a preseason top 25. Among your choices of teams is a school that has won 9 or 10 games in each of the prior 6 seasons and has been ranked in the top 25 in one of the major polls each of the last five seasons. That team is coming off of a bowl victory over a ranked SEC school. That team also returns an all-conference running back (and Heisman candidate), an all-conference defensive end, and an all-conference kick returner. Wouldn't that team appear somewhere in your top 25? Continue →
With apologies for our delay in weighing in, here are our thoughts on the spring game for Nebraska. Continue →
On some level, it's understandable why Nebraska would change the format of the spring game to account for a lack of depth available on the defensive line. After all, if you split that group in half, you very nearly run out of bodies. But from the perspective of the walk-on at other positions who may see little to no time on the field during the upcoming season, it's a bit of a blow. Continue →
Nebraska obtained commitments from two more recruits yesterday. Omaha North guard prospect Michael Decker came aboard. The 6'4" 288-pounder became the second offensive lineman to commit for the class of 2015. He was joined by Omaha Central defensive end Daishon Neal who's listed as 6'7" and 240 lbs. Neal is the first end and the third defensive lineman in the class. Continue →
Now that the 2014 basketball season is officially over, hoop enthusiasts can look ahead to the 2015 season. It's not just Husker fans that have high expectations of Nebraska. Athlon's early ranking of teams for next year puts NU 24th nationally. If that were to hold up and became the consensus by season's end, then the Huskers could be looking at a 6-seed in the tournament and perhaps an end to their futility streak in the NCAA's. Continue →
One of the reasons that Bo Pelini is Nebraska's head coach today is due to the remarkable turnaround the Husker defense experienced in his first and only year as the team's defensive coordinator in 2003. Demorrio Williams had already flashed considerable talent in 2002 ,the year before Pelini arrived. Williams had led the team in tackles and forced fumbles as a light 215-pound linebacker in 2002. Pelini opted to line up Williams as a rush end in passing situations, unleashing his abilities as a playmaker in the other team's backfield. History now appears ready to repeat itself with newcomer Marcus Newby, who is the same size as Williams and coming off of a redshirt year. Continue →
Nebraska added a commitment from a four-star quarterback prospect to the 2015 recruiting class in Denton, Texas product Kevin Dillman. At 6'4", he's got the height you look for in a passer. He's also a dual-threat type player that can make plays with his legs. Reviews are mixed because he's Swedish and has missed time playing high school football in the U.S. due to visa issues and injury. But the rosiest reviews suggest he could be a "program changing" kind of recruit. The likes of which we may not have seen since Tommie Frazier. No pressure there. Continue →

Does anybody know where I could find 4x6 inch bevelled mirrors... I want to make the wallmirror Peter Falico once made for a project. But eventhough it still is in his list of projects it cannot be found anymore online.I saw the show online today and recorded it. It looks like they were bought in a box. It is the project where he glued a 24" mirror on plywood, frames it with the 4x6 mirrors and then covers the gap between the little ones with more 4x6 ones. Pretty nice.Any help would be very much appreciated.I already phoned a glass and mirror place close to my town, but they had to totally "figure" it out. :-(Thanks in advance,Marijke

The Benton Police Department is requesting the help of the public to locate a 15-year-old boy that allegedly ran away from home 10 days ago.
Payton Stone is described as 5 feet 3 inches tall, 110 pounds with blue eyes and brown hair. He was last seen at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 21 leaving his home on foot.
Payton was last noticed wearing a white Holister "So Cal" shirt, kakhi shorts, purple and black color shoes, and a Black Sox baseball cap. Officers believe that Payton is traveling on foot.
White balloons drifted into the mid-day sky at Alexander City Park Saturday. On each balloon was a message written by a friend, a family member, a resident of the city or simply by someone who had been touched by the tragic deaths of Kevin Ives and Don Henry on August 23, 1987.
"Gone but not forgotten" was a common theme among the hundreds of balloons that drifted into the sun like pearls to heaven.
The balloon release was part of a ceremony for a bench dedicated to the two young men whose deaths on a nearby railroad track 25 years ago remains unsolved.
Benton Mayor David Mattingly has announced that the four-year 'e-Commerce' degree for UALR Benton has received final approval. Mattingly received a message from Shane Broadway, Interim Director of the Arkansas Department of Higher Education that read, ""The UALR-Benton letter of notification has been reviewed and the report of the academic committee has been approved by the full board at 10:50 a.m. There were no questions or comments. Congratulations."
MALVERN – Leading by seven runs after five innings, the No. 7 seed Bauxite Miners allowed the No. 6 seed Maumelle Hornets to tie the game in the last inning, but came away with a 10-7 win in 11 innings in the first round of the 7-4A District Tournament on Wednesday at Morrison Park in Malvern.
"I'm disappointed we couldn't finish it in the seventh inning," Bauxite Coach Michael Mattox said, "but for [the Miners] to hang around for four more innings and compete showed me a lot about this team, something I knew was in them, but haven't seen all year long."
SHERIDAN – Vying for first place in the 6A South, the Benton Panthers committed five errors and allowed four unearned runs in a 7-3 loss to the Sheridan Yellowjackets on Wednesday in conference action in Sheridan.
"We struggled. That's uncharacteristic of us," Benton Coach Mark Balisterri said of the errors. "We don't usually make errors like that. As a matter of fact, going through the first round of conference only losing one game; it was because we played great defense.
This column won third place in the 2011 Associated Press Managing Editor Association of Arkansas contest for a sports column. It ran in the Courier on Sept. 26, 2011.
The Arkansas Travelers were swept in the Texas League Championship series by the San Antonio Missions, but the Travs definitely had their chances. The Missions won games one and two by 5-4 scores in San Antonio and came from behind to defeat the Travs 10-6 in North Little Rock on Sept. 16. Walks were a factor in every Travs' loss.
Amy Nicole McGinty Grenier, 29, of Benton, passed away April 24. She was born December 9, 1982 in Little Rock to Chuck and Linda Watson McGinty. Amy was a member of Crystal Valley Baptist Church and graduate of Henderson State University.
George Venson Babbitt, 67, of Benton, went to live with his Heavenly Father April 25. He was born March 17, 1945 in Little Rock, the only son and first of two children of the late Delbert Venson and Alma Lillian Babbitt. George was a member of the class of 1963 at Little Rock Central High School. He was proud to be in the Navy and serve his country on active and reserve duty from 1963 to 1969. George was a member of Indian Springs Baptist Church.
Benton Parks Department Director Curtis McCormack and assistant Kitty Smith have been placed on administrative leave with pay pending the completion of an investigation into accounting practices associated with operation of the concession stand in Tyndall Park during 2011. The Parks Commission met for a special meeting Tuesday night specifically called to determine what course of action to take in light of an independent accountant's report indicating a deficit of $6,445 in unaccounted funds.
After 33-years of service, Bryant Fire Chief Randy Cox cites health concerns as the main reason he plans to retire on May 25.
"With injuries that I received while on the job in 2009, several surgeries, as well as the everyday struggles and constant pain, I can no longer meet the requirements of my job," he said in a memo to Bryant city officials.

Download Transformation through innovation: leveraging the forest energy opportunity (575kb)
Forest, Paper & Packaging players around the world can no longer take wood fibre availability for granted. There is more than one factor at work, but of increasing force is the demand from energy providers who see forest (or woody) biomass as an important renewable energy source. This is clearly a challenge for FPP players, as competition for feedstock from new entrants to the market heats up. This competition can be expected to intensify as demand for traditional wood fibre-based products recovers. However, this is also a significant business opportunity for the established players in the fibre value chain - timberland owners, forest management and harvesting businesses, logistics companies and the wood processing industries.
At PwC, we have long provided a wide range of services to the FPP industries through our strong global network of professionals serving the sector. Though this we have gained a deep knowledge of fibre value chains. Building on this experience with the FPP industries, we work in cooperation with our colleagues serving the energy and government sectors amongst others, to support public and private sector stakeholders alike in their projects in the energy wood space. This document outlines the services that we provide to the various stakeholders, provides examples of the work we have completed, and sets out some of the thought leadership that we have published. We offer services in a number of areas including

A Long Ho-Chunk Vocabulary, 1880
Vocabulary of the Winnebago Indians
The creator of this vocabulary, Thomas George (1842-1929), grew up with Ho-Chunk children around his father's trading post at New Lisbon, Juneau Co. In 1880 John W. Powell, Director of the Smithsonian Institution's Bureau of Ethnology, distributed 150 pages of forms with his
Introduction to the Study of Indian Languages
, asking readers to gather American Indian language vocabularies. George used a copy of Powell's forms and, assisted by Ho-Chunk friends Big Bear, of Friendship, Wis., and Big Thunder, collected the roughly 70 pages of terms listed here. They are followed by ca. 25 pages of other manuscript notes on Ho-Chunk terms, and manuscript notes made by Lyman C. Draper about George and his sources that were found in the volume. We have also included Powell's preface outlining the project to gather Native American word lists. This is one of several works on American Indian languages to be found at Turning Points in Wisconsin History. Readers should note that this is a historical document rather than a modern one, and that it was produced by a white observer rather than a native speaker; students wishing to study the language should rely on materials produced by the tribal language office.

Hillsboro volleyball glides through pool play at 3A state volleyball tournament
The Hillsboro volleyball team positioned itself to make a final assault on a second consecutive Class 3A state volleyball championship by sweeping all three of its pool-play matches Friday at the Bicentennial Center in Salina.
The Trojans, who came into the tournament as the No. 2 seed at 37-3, defeated Wellsville in the opening match, 25-13, 25-21. In its most challenging encounter, Hillsboro needed three games to defeat a strong Silver Lake team, 25-23, 15-25, 25-20. The Trojans then finished the day with their easiest match, a 25-10, 25-7 sweep of Southeast-Cherokee.
As the No. 1 team in Pool B, the Trojans will take on the No. 2 team in Pool A in the semifinals of a four-team championship bracket. That match is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. Fifteen minutes after the completion of both semifinal matches, the two losing teams will play for third place and the two winners will battle for the title.

Founded in 1631, DELAWARE was once part of neighbouring Pennsylvania – Philadelphia is only ten miles north – until separating in 1776. In 1787 it was the first former colony to ratify the Constitution and become a state. Much of Delaware's fortunes can be traced to its lax corporate laws that have allowed countless multinational corporations to take up official residence here, and to the du Pont family, who, fleeing the wrath of revolutionary France, set up a gunpowder mill that became the main supplier of conventional explosives to the US government. The family built huge mansions in the Brandywine Valley north of Wilmington, near the perfectly preserved old colonial capital, New Castle, on the Delaware Bay, five miles south of I-95. Further south, Dover, the capital, may not detain you long, but beyond it, the small and amiable resorts of Lewes and Rehoboth Beach mark the northern extent of over twenty miles of mostly unspoiled Atlantic beaches.Read More
The du Pont mansions
The du Pont mansions
The first of the du Pont mansions is accessible in Bellevue State Park, 800 Carr Rd (daily 8am–dusk; free). William du Pont Jr converted a Gothic Revival mansion into his own version of James Madison's Neoclassical home and called it Bellevue Hall. You can't get inside, but can visit the grounds and see the charming ponds, woodlands, gardens and tennis courts.
Twenty minutes northwest of Wilmington, members of the du Pont family built opulent homes in the rural Brandywine Valley. The Hagley Museum, off Hwy-141 just north of Wilmington (mid-March to Dec daily 9.30am–4.30pm; $11; w http://www.hagley.org), showcases their 1802 founding of a small water-powered gunpowder mill, which grew over the next century to include larger steam- and electricity-powered factories – most of which are still in working order. Be sure to tour the luxurious du Pont mansion, Eleutherian Mills, the centrepiece of the 235-acre estate.
The enormous, dusty-pink Nemours Mansion, just a mile away at 1600 Rockland Rd (tours Tues–Sat 9am, noon & 3pm, Sun noon & 3pm; $15; t 1-800/651-6912, w http://www.nemoursmansion.org), was built by Alfred du Pont in 1910 and named for the family's ancestral home in France, and is surrounded by a three-hundred-acre, French-style garden. Inside the mansion, you'll find plenty of lavish rooms including those devoted to fitness, bowling and ice-making, and a collection of early-twentieth-century automobiles. Two miles northwest, off Hwy-52, the one-time du Pont family estate of Winterthur (March–Nov Tues–Sun 10am–5pm; tours $18–40; w http://www.winterthur.org) now displays American decorative arts from 1640 to 1860, each of its 175 rooms showcasing styles ranging from a simple Shaker cottage to a beautiful three-storey elliptical staircase taken from a North Carolina plantation. Separately, the estate galleries present a selection of furniture, textiles, ceramics, paintings and glass in a museum setting.
New Castle
New Castle
Delaware's original capital, NEW CASTLE, fronts the broad Delaware River, just six miles south of Wilmington via Hwy-141. Founded in the 1650s by the Dutch and taken over by the British in 1664, New Castle has managed to survive intact, its quiet cobbled streets and immaculate eighteenth-century brick houses shaded by ancient hardwood trees.
The heart of New Castle is the tree-filled town green that spreads east from the shops of Delaware Street, and dominated by the stalwart tower of the Immanuel Episcopal Church, on Harmony Street at The Strand, built in 1703 and bordered by tidy rows of eighteenth-century gravestones. On the west edge of the green, the Old Court House, 211 Delaware St (Wed–Sat 10am–3.30pm; free), was built in 1732 and served as the first state capitol until 1881. Its dainty cupola provided the vista from which surveyors determined the state's arcing northern border, drawn up when Delaware seceded from Pennsylvania (and Great Britain) in 1776.

Mole fraction
In chemistry, the mole fraction is defined as the amount of a constituent divided by the total amount of all constituents in a mixture :[1]
The sum of all the mole fractions is equal to 1:
The mole fraction is also called the amount fraction.[1] It is identical to the number fraction, which is defined as the number of molecules of a constituent divided by the total number of all molecules . It is one way of expressing the composition of a mixture with a dimensionless quantity (mass fraction is another). The mole fraction is sometimes denoted by the lowercase Greek letter (chi) instead of a Roman .[2][3] For mixtures of gases, IUPAC recommends the letter .[1]
Mole fraction is used very frequently in the construction of phase diagrams. It has a number of advantages:
- it is not temperature dependent (such as molar concentration) and does not require knowledge of the densities of the phase(s) involved
- a mixture of known mole fraction can be prepared by weighing off the appropriate masses of the constituents
- the measure is symmetric: in the mole fractions x=0.1 and x=0.9, the roles of 'solvent' and 'solute' are reversed.
- In a mixture of ideal gases, the mole fraction can be expressed as the ratio of partial pressure to total pressure of the mixture
Related quantities[edit]
Mass fraction[edit]
The mass fraction can be calculated using the formula
where is the molar mass of the component and is the average molar mass of the mixture.
Replacing the expression of the molar mass:
Mole percentage[edit]
Multiplying mole fraction by 100 gives the mole percentage, also referred as amount/amount percent (abbreviated as n/n%).
Mass concentration[edit]
The conversion to and from mass concentration is given by:
where is the average molar mass of the mixture.
Molar concentration[edit]
The conversion to molar concentration is given by:
where is the average molar mass of the solution, c total molar concentration and is the density of the solution .
Mass and molar mass[edit]
The mole fraction can be calculated from the masses and molar masses of the components:
Spatial variation and gradient[edit]
In a spatially non-uniform mixture, the mole fraction gradient triggers the phenomenon of diffusion.

PLEASANT VALLEY — David Pitts smiles as one of his Pleasant Valley High School football coaches hands him his pristinely clean, No. 88 game jersey. Head coach Jeff Davis says there's another item in Pitts' locker.
It's the unused helmet Davis ordered, unusual in its small size, to fit Pitts' size-7ish head.
Pitts had hoped to wear those items in Raider games this season. He had come up through the program since seventh grade, doing mostly scout-team work, but he was likely to start at cornerback as a senior.
When Pitts talks about this past summer and the approach of the football season he's missing, a tear leaks from behind his glasses and down his right cheek, drawing attention away from his wheelchair.
"That was hard," he said softly.
Pitts has been paralyzed below the sternum since January, when a seemingly harmless bump and fall in basketball practice touched off methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, the most drug-resistant form of staph infection.
The infection spread from a spot on his right elbow to his spine, dramatically altering the life of a teen who loved playing sports for his high school.
While his feelings about missing his final seasons of Raider sports show when he's asked about it, Pitts makes a point of not dwelling on it. He seems to have embraced his new life, which includes playing basketball at Birmingham's Lakeshore Foundation, cruising in a new, specially equipped pickup and whipping his friends at Xbox video games.
The former Pleasant Valley point guard grins when asked if his old Raider basketball teammates doubted he could continue playing that sport.
"I can shoot better than most of them," he said.
An infection starts, grows
Things seemed harmless when Davis was asked to help out during a Raiders basketball practice, sometime around Christmas. At some point, Davis made contact with Pitts, and Pitts hit the floor.
Shortly thereafter, a spot developed on Pitts' right elbow. Pitts' mom, Susan Quinn, said there was no open wound, just redness and swelling.
A registered nurse, she knows the dangers of staph, so she took her son to have the spot checked on Jan. 2. A staph infection was diagnosed, and Pitts was given medication.
"We were never told he had MRSA," she said.
On Jan. 13, Pitts noticed a backache but played his last Raider basketball game that night.
The pain worsened over the next six days, so badly that he could not participate in practice or do lifts in the weight room.
"He walked into basketball practice one day just slumped over, and he could barely walk," said Michael Lockeridge, one of Pitts' teammates in basketball and football.
Quinn is guarded about details but said she consulted "several doctors" during those six days. Still, the pain progressed.
Then came the awful morning of Jan. 19, when Pitts awoke to numbness and weakness in his legs.
"It just kept getting worse and worse until I couldn't move them at all," he said.
Quinn took her son back to Gadsden Regional. An MRI turned up an abscess on Pitts' spine, in the area of the T6-T8 vertebra, and Quinn had her son transferred to Children's Hospital in Birmingham.
Pitts underwent surgery for the abscess, but the damage was done. The only question was whether the damage was permanent.
Pitts said "there's a chance" that his condition could improve, "but I don't really sit around and dwell on it."
Quinn keeps her hopes high.
"We were given some statistics during surgery," she said. "But as of right now, we're taking every day day-by-day."
Living with paralysis
Quinn admits she has "good days and bad days" as she and her son face his life with paralysis.
Pitts says he deals with it "pretty good," but Davis corrects him.
"No, you didn't deal with it 'pretty good,'" he said. "You deal with it great."
Pitts was in the hospital from Jan. 19 to Feb. 13 and returned to school in late February.
He began rehabilitation at the Tyler Center, going twice a week most weeks, and works out during his physical education period at school.
He wheels up a ramp outside the Pleasant Valley field house to work on his strength and conditioning. In the weight room, he does mostly dumbbell work but gets out of his chair for exercises like triceps dips.
Dips became part of his workout when Davis doubted whether he could do them.
"Coach Davis was like, 'You can't get up there,'" Pitts said. "I said, 'Watch me,' and I did it."
Within the past month, Pitts resumed driving with a specially equipped white GMC Canyon pickup. Controls on and around the steering wheel allow him to accelerate and brake with his hands. He operates a remote-control arm, which lifts his wheelchair out of the truck bed, swings it around and sits it on the ground by the driver's door.
He gets in and out of his truck without help.
Pitts also started basketball practice at Lakeshore two weeks ago. He teams with Alexandria High School sophomore Savannah Gardner, and the families take turns driving on the twice-a-week trips to Birmingham.
Gardner, who has limited use of her legs because of cerebral palsy, said she's impressed with how Pitts handles the sudden change in his life.
"He's very friendly and very helpful. He lifts up our team," she said. "With everything that's happened to him and stuff, he's taken it really well.
"His mom told me in the car one day that he's still David. He just has to go about things in a different way."
Quinn said she swears off barriers and keeps her son encouraged.
"When he says he wants to do something," she said, "we try to find a way to make it happen."
A Raider at heart
Among the hardest things for Pitts emotionally is missing his senior season in football, his favorite sport.
"David has always been a Raider, first and foremost," Davis said, as another tear descends Pitts' face. "David spent his first two or three years with us mostly on scout team. It didn't matter if we needed a fullback or a guard. He played it and did it the best he could do it with one speed, and that was wide open.
"We were looking forward to this fall, because David had worked his tail off and got in a position to start at one of our corners."
The gravity hit Pitts hardest just before Pleasant Valley's season-opening game at Ohatchee. As his teammates readied to take the field, they noticed him crying.
"He'd been working his whole life, and all he ever wanted to do was just start on the varsity team," teammate and friend Corey Shackelford said. "When I saw him start crying, I started crying."
Pitts' teammates rally around him. When he got hot and ill on the bus ride home from Ohatchee, they jumped to action, opening windows.
He has attended most of the Raiders' seven games, wheeling up and down their sideline in conditions good and bad. His mom jokes about a game on a rainy night, when the wheels on his chair sprayed mud on his clothes.
Pleasant Valley has struggled this season, winning its first game Friday after seven losses. The team made the playoffs in 2007 and 2008. And Pitts has struggled with his teammates emotionally as he has watched.
"It's hard not to yell sometimes," he said with a grin.
Pitts gets his licks in when he plays teammates on the Xbox. They say he dominates in games like Call to Duty, Halo and NCAA Football.
"Anything that he wants, we do," Shackelford said. "We never keep him out of anything. Whenever we go do stuff, he's the first person we invite along. We always want him around.
"He's been an inspiration to me. I don't know how I'd react if I was in that type of situation, but the strength he has, he acts like it doesn't even bother him."
Davis said Pitts' situation raises mixed emotions.
"You feel sad for a young man in the prime of his life getting struck down like he did, but also it's been a blessing to see David overcome this," he said. "David's not backing up on it. He's not saying poor, poor pitiful me.
"He's saying watch me and what I can do."

Annual births to Hispanic women in the United States exceeded one million for the first time in 2006, and one-in-four children in the U.S. under the age of five is Hispanic, according to new reports from the U.S. Census Bureau. Hispanics now make up 15.5% of the U.S. population, and nearly two-thirds (62%) of their population growth in 2006–2007 came from births rather than immigration—a reversal of the growth pattern in the 1990s, when immigration was the primary driver of Latino population increases in this country.
In order to illuminate these trends, the Pew Hispanic Center released "Hispanic Women in the United States, 2007," a statistical portrait of the demographic, social and economic characteristics of this country's 14.4 million Hispanic women.

[Series] So What Do You Do? My Practicum Experience at a Small Academic Archive
11/01/2013 § 4 Comments
This post is part of a new series called "So What Do You Do?" in which LIS students talk about their experiences as interns. We want to showcase the wide range of things people are doing in the world of library and information science.
Tell us a bit about yourself.
My name is Nicole Helregel and I'm in my second year of the MLIS program at the University of Illinois-Urbana/Champaign. My undergraduate degree is in American History, from Beloit College (in Wisconsin!). I'm currently a graduate assistant at an academic library, where I mostly work the reference desk, create exhibits, and update web content. On a more personal note, I've recently come to the conclusion that delicious soups are good for the soul and perhaps the best way to combat the winter blues.
So what do you do?
This past semester I spent over 100 hours working at the Illinois History and Lincoln Collections (one part of the larger University of Illinois Library system) as part of a practicum experience. Because I'm a townie, I was able to start my practicum during the summer (even though I was technically registered for it in the fall semester) and worked, on average, about six hours a week from August through December. It's a small unit, with two full time employees and no graduate or student assistants; thus, they were very grateful and receptive when I approached them about a practicum.

Virtual L ®
Located around the corner from its original location, the storefront jazz club still sports its distinctive octopus-style chandeliers, and patrons can sit in many of the old bar's tables and chairs. The mysterious topless woman painted on black velvet now hangs in a place of honor
behind a velvet rope.
The current space proves that change isn't always bad. Newly framed photos of local jazz legends like Ken Vandermark, Malachi Thompson and club owner Fred Anderson hang on the blue and green walls, trimmed in metallic gray. The polished wooden bar emanates a classic style that lends the otherwise modern construction a historic flair.
But the spirit of the old club is in the music and the Velvet still features live jazz that tends toward the experimental. Sightlines are good all around, whether you're sitting at the bar or way in the back. The cover on weeknights is $10, with Fridays and Saturdays costing about $20. Sunday is a bargain at just $5.
Beer comes in bottles, with domestics starting at $3, imports around $4 and wine at $5 a glass. Most cocktails are available for $5-$7, and soft drinks cost $2.50.

By: Kevin Wallevand, WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - There has been yet another amazing transformation to a section of downtown. This time on NP Avenue.
The Family Health Care clinic is celebrating its grand opening in the old Buick Dealership building and as part of the new $15 million complex, is a piece of new technology that is a combination of James Bond and NASA.
Never before have the old and new come together to make health care more accessible and efficient for the 12,000 patients who use the Family Health Care Center downtown. And as part of the new facility on NP, staff and patients will be wearing high tech tags like these, called Real Time Location Software.
Pat Gulbranson, Family Health Care: "It allows us to maximize our staff time for patient care."
It works like this, nurses, doctors, and staff will wear this tag which allows the clinic to know wear everyone is at all times. With 12-different languages spoken here, the seven interpreters can be located when needed.
Gulbranson: "Various calling mechanisms, and features in the cards, want to call a provider, just press these buttons to alert and more efficient than how we do it today."
And even medical equipment and inventory will have a tag meaning staff won't have to search three floors for equipment.
And patients will be wearing the tags, which allows the staff to monitor long waits, or patients who are new and are lost.
Gulbranson: "As we get used to the new facility and know the flow we see the trouble spots where are they hung up because of lack of info or education, or in emergency we can locate them in the facility."
The number of patients, 75 percent who are uninsured or under-insured has increased from 6,000 to 12,000 in just six years. The new space meets a critical demand in our community, providing care for those who would have nowhere else to turn. And new technology just made it a more efficient system.
The new and larger center is expected to handle 40 visits in its first year.
