Using strtotime('DAYNAME') like strtotime('Tuesday') returns midnight on the specified day. It doesn't preserve the current time or the time passed into the function.
This page describes the different relative date/time formats that the strtotime(), DateTime and date_create() parser understands.
|'sunday' | 'monday' | 'tuesday' | 'wednesday' | 'thursday' | 'friday' | 'saturday' | 'sun' | 'mon' | 'tue' | 'wed' | 'thu' | 'fri' | 'sat' | 'sun'
|'weekday' | 'weekdays'
|'first' | 'second' | 'third' | 'fourth' | 'fifth' | 'sixth' | 'seventh' | 'eighth' | 'ninth' | 'tenth' | 'eleventh' | 'twelfth' | 'next' | 'last' | 'previous' | 'this'
|'next' | 'last' | 'previous' | 'this'
|[ \t]+
|(('sec' | 'second' | 'min' | 'minute' | 'hour' | 'day' | 'fortnight' | 'forthnight' | 'month' | 'year') 's'?) | 'weeks' | daytext
|Midnight of yesterday
|"yesterday 14:00"
|The time is set to 00:00:00
|The time is set to 00:00:00
|Now - this is simply ignored
|The time is set to 12:00:00
|"yesterday noon"
|Midnight of tomorrow
|'back of' hour
|15 minutes past the specified hour
|"back of 7pm", "back of 15"
|'front of' hour
|15 minutes before the specified hour
|"front of 5am", "front of 23"
|'first day' ' of'?
|Sets the day of the first of the current month. This phrase is best used together with a month name following it.
|"first day of January 2008"
|'last day' ' of'?
|Sets the day to the last day of the current month. This phrase is best used together with a month name following it.
|"last day of next month"
|ordinal space dayname space 'of'
|Calculates the x-th week day of the current month.
|"first sat of July 2008"
|'last' space dayname space 'of'
|Calculates the last week day of the current month.
|"last sat of July 2008"
|number space? (unit | 'week')
|Handles relative time items where the value is a number.
|"+5 weeks", "12 day", "-7 weekdays"
|ordinal space unit
|Handles relative time items where the value is text.
|"fifth day", "second month"
|Negates all the values of previously found relative time items.
|"2 days ago", "8 days ago 14:00", "2 months 5 days ago", "2 months ago 5 days", "2 days ago ago"
|Moves to the next day of this name.
|reltext space 'week'
|Handles the special format "weekday + last/this/next week".
|"Monday next week"
Relative statements are always processed after non-relative statements. This makes "+1 week july 2008" and "july 2008 +1 week" equivalent.
Exceptions to this rule are: "yesterday", "midnight", "today", "noon" and "tomorrow". Note that "tomorrow 11:00" and "11:00 tomorrow" are different. Considering today's date of "July 23rd, 2008" the first one produces "2008-07-24 11:00" where as the second one produces "2008-07-24 00:00". The reason for this is that those five statements directly influence the current time.
Observe the following remarks when the current day-of-week is the same as the day-of-week used in the date/time string. The current day-of-week could have been (re-)calculated by non-relative parts of the date/time string however.
- "dayname" does not advance to another day. (Example: "Wed July 23rd, 2008" means "2008-07-23").
- "number dayname" does not advance to another day. (Example: "1 wednesday july 23rd, 2008" means "2008-07-23").
- "number week dayname" will first add the number of weeks, but does not advance to another day. In this case "number week" and "dayname" are two distinct blocks. (Example: "+1 week wednesday july 23rd, 2008" means "2008-07-30").
- "ordinal dayname" does advance to another day. (Example "first wednesday july 23rd, 2008" means "2008-07-30").
- "number week ordinal dayname" will first add the number of weeks, and then advances to another day. In this case "number week" and "ordinal dayname" are two distinct blocks. (Example: "+1 week first wednesday july 23rd, 2008" means "2008-08-06").
- "ordinal dayname 'of' " does not advance to another day. (Example: "first wednesday of july 23rd, 2008" means "2008-07-02" because the specific phrase with 'of' resets the day-of-month to '1' and the '23rd' is ignored here).
Also observe that the "of" in "ordinal space dayname space 'of' " and "'last' space dayname space 'of' " does something special.
- It sets the day-of-month to 1.
- "ordinal dayname 'of' " does not advance to another day. (Example: "first tuesday of july 2008" means "2008-07-01").
- "ordinal dayname " does advance to another day. (Example: "first tuesday july 2008" means "2008-07-08", see also point 4 in the list above).
- "'last' dayname 'of' " takes the last dayname of the current month. (Example: "last wed of july 2008" means "2008-07-30")
- "'last' dayname" takes the last dayname from the current day. (Example: "last wed july 2008" means "2008-06-25"; "july 2008" first sets the current date to "2008-07-01" and then "last wed" moves to the previous Wednesday which is "2008-06-25").
Relative month values are calculated based on the length of months that they pass through. An example would be "+2 month 2011-11-30", which would produce "2012-01-30". This is due to November being 30 days in length, and December being 31 days in length, producing a total of 61 days.
Using strtotime('DAYNAME') like strtotime('Tuesday') returns midnight on the specified day. It doesn't preserve the current time or the time passed into the function.
April 1st, 2012 is Sunday. You might expect to get April 2nd, 2012 with 'Monday next week', however this:
echo date('F jS, Y', strtotime('Monday next week 2012-04-01'));
returns April 9th, 2012. To get April 2nd, you need to use this:
echo date('F jS, Y', strtotime('next Monday 2012-04-01'));
Apparently 'next week' advances the week if and only if the day is Sunday. This:
echo date('F jS, Y', strtotime('Monday next week 2012-03-31'));
would still return April 2nd.
Here is a fairly simple function I wrote to avoid the issues with adding/subtracting months that has been mentioned by cristinawithout and many others.
I needed this function to be able handle monthly billing cycles properly. It handles positive and negative values for months. It also can be used to side step a similar issues for adding years on leap days (e.g. strtotime('2012/2/29 +1 year') by passing in multiples of 12 (e.g. addMonthsToTime(12, strtotime('2012/2/29'))
function addMonthsToTime($numMonths = 1, $timeStamp = null){
$timeStamp === null and $timeStamp = time();//Default to the present
$newMonthNumDays = date('d',strtotime('last day of '.$numMonths.' months', $timeStamp));//Number of days in the new month
$currentDayOfMonth = date('d',$timeStamp);
if($currentDayOfMonth > $newMonthNumDays){
$newTimeStamp = strtotime('-'.($currentDayOfMonth - $newMonthNumDays).' days '.$numMonths.' months', $timeStamp);
} else {
$newTimeStamp = strtotime($numMonths.' months', $timeStamp);
return $newTimeStamp;
In PHP 5.2, "first monday of may 2011" is invalid, but "first monday may 2011" does work. Simply omit "of" if above examples do not work.
Month skipping has issues with number of days in the month.
'+1 month' may move to the following month if the next month has less days than the current:
<?php print date('d M Y H:i:s', strtotime('+1 month', strtotime('Thu Mar 31 19:50:41 IST 2011'))); ?>
Prints: 01 May 2011 19:50:41
But with 'last day of +1 month' the result is different:
<?php print date('d M Y H:i:s', strtotime('last day of +1 month', strtotime('Thu Mar 31 19:50:41 IST 2011'))); ?>
Prints: 30 Apr 2011 19:50:41
If the ordinal being used is "last" and the next month is n, use the "n 1". Otherwise, if the previous month is p and it has d number of days in it, use "p d".
For example: "last thursday of November" becomes "last thursday December 1" and "fourth thursday of November" becomes "fourth thursday September 30th"
Hopes this helps someone out there.
Just for those who want the last day of the year without calling the function twice:
echo date('Y-m-d',
strToTime('1/1 next year -1 day')
// 2011-12-31
For reference this is actually saying "Take the first day of the first month next year, then subtract 1 day".
Note that '-1 month' may produce unexpected result when used in last day of month that has 31 days:
strtotime('31 march 2011 -1 month')
returns 03 march 2011
It should be noted that apparently some of these strings only work in PHP 5.3 apparently, notably:
"first day of this month" and "last day of this month" for example. According to information found on another website, the "xxx day of" feature was added in PHP 5.3.
strtotime('last day of this year') doesn't work because last day of is only for month
use strtotime('-1 day', strtotime('first day of next year')) or anything else

Mentor Graphics Extends Catapult C with Support for Control Logic to Enable Full-Chip High-Level Synthesis
WILSONVILLE, Ore., June 29, 2009 – Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT), the market and technology leader in high-level synthesis solutions, today announced that the Catapult® C Synthesis tool has been extended to support control logic and manage low power design requirements, thus enabling full-chip high-level synthesis (HLS). This breakthrough technology allows designers to use pure ANSI C++ for both algorithmic blocks and control logic blocks. Extending the Catapult C tool's capabilities to full-chip high-level synthesis is critical due to the rapid growth in design size and complexity, which requires engineers to design hardware functionality at higher levels of abstraction.
Control logic synthesis and algorithmic synthesis have traditionally been addressed using different languages, formalisms and abstractions. The latest advances in the Catapult C Synthesis tool unifies these two domains, allowing users to describe control logic along with algorithmic behavior in a single and coherent model leveraging standard ANSI C++. At the heart of this innovation is a new synthesizable C++ construct, which allows designers to easily specify asynchronous data communication, allowing full control over concurrent hardware creation. This pivotal mechanism allows interfacing algorithmic representations driven by the dataflow with control-dominated blocks synchronized by clocks. The result is a coding style familiar to hardware designers, letting users easily express communication, priority and task coordination within an abstract representation of concurrency. The new approach formalizes a modeling style, which provides the necessary accuracy for control oriented tasks, while preserving the abstraction beneficial for algorithmic subsystems.
The synthesis process is complemented by a patent-pending and fully automated verification flow which for the first time lets users validate the detailed RTL-level block interactions at the C level. Tight integration between verification and synthesis has proved a necessity to realizing the full potential of HLS. A common pitfall found with other HLS tools is developing high-level synthesis in isolation, which results in overly complex verification of the RTL output.
"Our digital broadcasting ICs typically consist of a complex mix of compute intensive algorithmic units and control dominated blocks," said Professor Schlicht, Head of Department, Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits. "The new Catapult extensions for control-logic synthesis provide us with the capability to develop an increasing portion of the overall system using high-level synthesis from C++. This allows us to extend our C++ based implementation flow beyond the pure signal processing blocks."
In addition to support for control logic, the Catapult C Synthesis tool has added innovative technology for low power design by automating two prevailing design techniques: multi-level clock gating and interfacing to dynamic power and clock management units. The Catapult C tool will analyze deep cones of logic to find gateable clocks, an otherwise error-prone and manual task typically done by backend low power experts. This new and unique optimization delivers near 100% perfect clock gating by operating at the flop level, maximizing power savings by locally inferring the gating logic surrounding the targeted registers. To help further reduce power, the Catapult C Synthesis tool also exports real-time information on the state of all system blocks. This information is relayed to power management units leveraging dynamic frequency and voltage scaling heuristics to achieve system-wide power savings. As expected, dynamic power savings is design and test vector dependent; measurements on more than 300 customer designs showed improvements ranging from 10 to 90%, with an average improvement of 40%. "The control logic extensions of Catapult C now let us develop a larger part of our systems with HLS," said Emmanuel Liegeon, Deputy Manager of Digital ASIC & FPGA Design Group, Thales Alenia Space. "As we develop more and more of the system in HLS, it becomes paramount to get power right. The latest enhancements in Catapult C for low power are delivering the optimizations we need."
About Catapult
The Catapult C Synthesis tool is the first product to automatically generate control and algorithmic RTL multi-block designs from a pure ANSI C++ source where both the core algorithm and interface are untimed. This productivity improvement gives designers time and freedom to automatically perform detailed design exploration of different micro-architectural options and interface scenarios to quickly achieve fully optimized hardware designs.
Product Availability
The Catapult C Synthesis 2009a release is available to customers in July. The Catapult C product family ranges from $140,000 to $390,000.

Hi folks. Since we plan to visit Braco this November, we were concerned about the condition of the resort in the aftermath of Ivan. (We heard Grand Lido Negril was pretty badly hit. Turns out Braco only had minor damage.) We did some web research and came across this handy link that gives a pretty good account of what the status is for each of the resorts in the Caribbean. Thought you fellow travellers may find it handy for planning or at least tweaking your travel agents...

RedHawks vs. Kansas CityFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks open a 4-game series with Kansas City tonight.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks open a 4-game series with Kansas City tonight.
And the Hawks are playing their best baseball of the season. They took four of four on the road this week against division-leading Winnipeg.
Claiming 3 of the 4 victories, with comebacks in the 8th or 9th inning. The series vaulted Fargo-Moorhead up the standings, and they now sit one game back of first place in the division.
Jon Gaston, RedHawks Outfielder, says, "It felt good to get four in a row from them, especially at their place, playing on the road is always a little bit tougher. And them being a first place team as well, I felt like it was a sweet victory for us."
Today the RedHawks signed third baseman Eric Campbell, who drove in 80 runs for the Hawks in 2010. Sergio Pedroza was released to pursue an opportunity in another league.

Quindarious Marshawn Royal, 26, was arrested on four separate charges including possession of a controlled substance, a felony, and misdemeanors including a law forbidding certain persons to possess pistols and two charges for failure to appear, according to court records that became available today.
According to Anniston police Sgt. Chris Sparks, an officer who knew Royal had warrants out for his arrest saw him standing in a service station at 1731 Quintard Avenue around 11:35 p.m.
When the officer arrested Royal, he found a cocaine-based drug and a .25-caliber semi-automatic handgun on him, Sparks said.
Sparks said Royal did not have a permit to carry the gun, and because he has been convicted for a prior drug crime, he is not allowed to possess firearms.
Royal was in the Calhoun County Jail with a $11,000 bond Wednesday afternoon, according to a jail worker.
He is to appear in court for cocaine possession on Feb. 3.

Palace Theater
318 W. Seventh Street,
Los Angeles,
5 people favorited this theater
This Palace Theatre was the first theatre in Los Angeles to have this name. It was built in 1910 in the 300 block of West Seventh Street, on the south side. It's location was across the alley immediately west of Loew's State Theatre.
The two theaters were never neighbors, though. In 1920, before the Loew's State Theatre was opened, the Palace Theatre was remodeled into retail space for the Vogue Millinery Company and the Model Cloak and Suit House. The building still exists today as a GNC General Nutrition Center store.

It would be interesting to snoop around in their storage rooms and such, to see if some evidence of former use remains, though after such a long time, it's likely that there have been many remodelings done. If anything does remain, it's likely to be buried under other layers. It would be like digging for Troy.
This picture from the USC digital archive, Seventh Street looking west from Broadway, is labeled 1921, but must have been slightly earlier, as demolition of the buildings at the southwest corner, where Loew's State Theatre was to be built that year, had not yet begun.
Beyond those doomed buildings, just right of center in the picture, can be seen the front of the Palace Theatre on Seventh Street, adjacent to the alley. Also of interest, the roof of a building on Seventh just beyond Hill Street has on its roof a large sign advertising the Alhambra Theatre, on Hill Street south of Seventh.
A bit to the left that sign can be seen the back wall of another theatre, which must have been located on the east side of Grand Avenue. Although the sign painted on its fly tower reads either "Strand Theatre" or (more likely) "Grand Theatre." It is likely that this is the theatre originally called the Mozart, which opened in 1913 at 730 South Grand Avenue.
Here's a few more concrete dates for the short life of this theater:
(Feb. 21, 1916)
Christening Of The New Palace Theater Auspicious.
On Seventh street between Hill and Broadway there is much traffic both by day and by night, a circumstance which will bring popularity and shekels to the new Palace Theater which opened in that block yesterday, while the painters were still at work on its shining front.
Not because it was new and not because it had something wondrous and enchanting to exhibit, but because it is extraordinarilly located, the Palace was filled all afternoon and evening. Today, tomorrow and for a long time to come it can hope for big crowds on accunt of the quality of "Undine," the picture used for the christening of the house.
(Aug. 1, 1920)
Through the same realty firm(R.F. and H.K. Huntsberger) a ten-year lease has been secured on the Palace Theater, at 317 West Seventh street by the Vogue Millinery Company and the Model Cloak and Suit House from Otto Thum of Santa Monica. The building will be taken over by the new lessees on Jan. 19 of next year, upon the expiration of the lease held by the Palace Theater. Extensive alterations and imporvements, including a new front to the building, are planeed. The walls of the building will be raised, and the structure will be divided into two storerooms. The total rental of the building for the ten-year period amounts to $450,000, while the improvements which are planned will cost about $50,000.
(Jan. 16, 1921)
"Who's to Blame?" is to close this evening at the Palace Theater. At the same time the house will be closed permanently, on account of the expiration of the lease, it is announced. "Who's to Blame?" deals in and unusually frank manner with social problems and point out the injustice toward the wronged woman. The story was written by Wycliffe A. Hill, president of the Photoplaywrights' League of Americal. Edward Coxen and Enid Markey are the featured players.
Exact opening and closing dates! Excellent! The newspaper report got the theatre's address wrong, though. 317 would have placed it on the north side of the street. It was definitely on the south side. Also, by zooming in on the picture from the USC archives, I see that the Palace used the spelling "Theatre" on its blade sign, rather than the "Theater" spelling which I used (and which I got from an abstract of a period L.A. Times article) when I originally added it.
I looked at the photo from your link, but I dont' see the 'blade' sign. When I think of 'blade' I think of deco, and that wouldn't be until about 5 years after this. Please educate…..
Vertical signs shaped like actual knife blades, with a curve at the top, did only become popular with the arrival of art deco and (even more) art moderne, but any vertical name sign can be called a blade— for example, this one, on San Jose's California Theatre.
I still haven't figured out how to insert links to other theaters on this site, but if you look at some new information I posted for the Palace of Pictures Theater, it talks a little about that theater moving and turning into the Palace at this location.
vokoban: in case nobody has gotten around to answering your question somewhere else (I've had a couple of busy days myself), the FAQ about how to add links is right here.
A more complete explanation of UBB code is available here. I'm more accustomed to making links with HTML, myself, and I'm only just now becoming accustomed to the UBB used at Cinema Treasures. The UBB italics and quote tags work here, but I haven't tried the bullet list and right now is the first time I've done bold. I don't think the site allows images to be displayed on the boards, though.
The blue building is 318. GNC is 316. The two businesses may occupy one building.
The County Assessor's office says that the 5274 sq. ft. building at 316 W. 7th St. was built in 1910, with an effective building date of 1913. The City's ZIMAS report for the property just says 1910. Both include the addresses 316, 318, and 320 as belonging to the same parcel. All one building. I guess the function should be listed as retail.

December 05, 2011 | Jill O'Donnell-Tormey, Ph.D.
This past week has been one of loss and reflection at the Cancer Research Institute, as we began to cope with the news of the death of our founding scientific and medical director, Lloyd J. Old, M.D., a beloved leader, mentor, and friend who passed away a week ago today at age 78. That it was cancer that ultimately claimed his life underscores the urgency of the work Lloyd dedicated himself to his entire, illustrious career.
The Cancer Research Institute was a home to Lloyd--an organization that was central to his vision for establishing immunotherapy as a new, safer, and more effective way to treat cancer.
Under his leadership from 1971 to 2011, CRI invested more than $200 million in research grants to immunologists and tumor immunologists around the world, with the goal of learning how to understand the immune response to cancer and one day develop treatments to boost that response and help cancer patients conquer their disease.
Thanks to Lloyd's vision and dedication to this field, that day has dawned, and cancer patients now have access to a growing number of treatment options based on the immune system.
Lloyd made sure to leave CRI in good scientific hands before his passing, carefully selecting his successors, with the approval of our Board of Trustees. In this time of transition, we look forward to carrying Lloyd's vision forward in the decade ahead. In the meantime, we grieve the loss of an amazing man who filled our days with inspiration, laughter, and wisdom.
We will be dedicating our upcoming annual report to Lloyd, and plan to hold a memorial service in the coming months in conjunction with the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (Ludwig) and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), two other institutions that were dear to Lloyd throughout his career. The Scientist recently published this very nice write-up on Lloyd, and the New York Times also published its obituary of this influential man who has been instrumental to bringing a new class of cancer treatments to patients. Also here is our obituary we placed in the New York Times last week, and here's another obituary placed by MSKCC. Ludwig also published this beautiful tribute to Dr. Lloyd Old.
Please take a moment to get to know more about him. We all owe him a great deal of gratitude for all he's done.

By Mark Emmert firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
Karlton Creech could have been forgiven if he had second thoughts about pursuing a job in Maine.
The lifelong North Carolinian was one of three finalists to become director of athletics at the University of Maine, but a snowstorm wiped out his on-campus interview last month. Creech feels at home with a golf club in his hands, not a shovel.
Still, he rescheduled the interview, and made a deep enough impression that he was introduced as the head of the Black Bears' sports department Thursday.
"That will be an adjustment for me," Creech said in a telephone interview after being told that another round of snow was battering his new state.
"But I won't miss 100 degrees and high humidity for three months each summer, either."
Creech, 41, signed a three-year contract that calls for him to make $175,000 annually in Orono. He is currently senior associate director of athletics at the University of North Carolina, where he was making $103,000. He will assume his duties in Maine on Feb. 10.
Within minutes of the announcement Thursday morning, he had updated his Twitter profile to include a Black Bears logo and his new title. He picked up 100 followers in a couple of hours and joked that he would be "all over" the social media platform after posting about once every six months previously.
Creech replaces Seth Woodcock, who has served as interim athletic director for the past two months after Steve Abbott decided to return to his position as chief of staff to U.S. Sen. Susan Collins.
He said he is aware of concerns about continuity atop the athletic department at Maine.
"I can't predict the future. But I do believe we can learn an awful lot from the past," Creech said. "I'm not a job-chaser. I haven't moved all over the country to move up quickly in the industry. I want to succeed and have an impact. My hope is that I can spend a great career at Maine."
Creech, a native of Chapel Hill, N.C., has been at the University of North Carolina since 2004. He started as associate executive director for the university's Educational Foundation Inc., where he managed capital projects (including coordination of an $88 million football stadium expansion), the Annual Fund, marketing, fundraising and ticket sales programs, as well as donor stewardship and development. In 2012, he was promoted to a position serving as chief of staff and overseeing the department's capital projects, human resources and facilities.
He previously worked for the Student-Aid Association at North Carolina State from 2001-04, coordinating ticket sales and fundraising.
Raising money has become the primary concern of athletic directors in recent years, and Creech said that was even evident at a major university like North Carolina.
"The scale is different, but the challenges are similar. Everywhere you go, there's a finite amount of money," he said. "We're going to need to engage the community, get support for the program."
Toward that end, Creech said his role in getting the money to renovate Kenan Memorial Stadium was eye-opening. It took three years, and was achieved while the football team was dealing with NCAA sanctions and not having success on the field. It wasn't the best environment to be selling "premium" seating.
"We essentially made our worst seats in the stadium our best seats," Creech said. "Those were end zone seats in the bright sunshine. But you can't always rely on conventional wisdom."
The university made videos in which its coaching staff pointed out that, when they study game film, it's from the end zone view, not along the sidelines. Suddenly, those seats became more coveted.

Deivanayagam Named TTU's 2001 Brown-Henderson Award WinnerAlready a respected researcher in the field of ergonomics and human factors, Subramaniam Deivanayagam, known on campus as "Dr. Deivy," has now been recognized as Tennessee Tech University's 2001 Brown-Henderson Award winner.
Deivy, interim associate dean for graduate studies and research for TTU's College of Engineering, was presented with the award that honors outstanding performance in teaching and research or service and carries the names of Engineering Dean Emeritus James Seay Brown and James Henderson, the college's first dean.
"Dr. Deivy is the epitome of personal integrity, honesty and ethical behavior, " said Ken Currie, interim director of the Center for Manufacturing Research. "Whether it is in the classroom, conducting research or dealing with colleagues, his honest and fair treatment of others sets the standard."
The first person to obtain a certificate as a Professional Ergonomist in Tennessee, Deivy was invited by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to serve on the Steering Committee for the Conference on Workplace Safety and Training.
Deivy's research on lifting capacity has been used as the basis for setting national safety standards, and practical results of his work quantifying human back muscle fatigue have contributed to the understanding of muscle strength and the rehabilitative process after back surgery.
His early work at TTU, conducted for the Air Force, led to standards in maintainability of aircraft. His work also led to the redesign of aircraft parts for accessibility and the redesign of tools for improved ergonomic use.
In service to students, Deivy has served as faculty adviser to the student chapter of the Institute of Industrial Engineers. The chapter received the Silver Award for excellence three consecutive years, an honor achieved by fewer than 10 percent of programs in the country.Deivy is also credited with establishing TTU's ergonomics/human factors laboratory, now recognized as the only such facility in the state.

CREEPY – The quality of the mani and pedi were fine. But I've never been so uncomfortable in a spa. The whole time I was there (a couple of hours), it was SILENT. There were at most five people total in there including three staff people while I was there and no one talked. There was no music, the giant TV mounted to the wall was off and all I could hear was the sound of the file on my nails and mysterious noises from the next room. It took much longer than they said it would and in the dim light and awkward quiet, that felt like forever. The bathroom is in the freezing basement (cuz what I want is a really really cold toilet seat to sit on). The conversation from nail technician was intrusive and left me wishing fervently I did not give them my home address.
I will never go back and you should know I love getting my nails done and this place would normally be very convenient.
Magical World of pain-less Brazilions? – I work at UIC and needed a Brazilion wax, which I typically have done in my neighborhood. I called, the price was certainly reasonable and made an appointment easily. A very professional yet sweet older woman was the technician who did the waxing-- the whole time I was confused as to why the ripping of the strips diddnt hurt--- I'd wince and tense up preparing for the pain... and... hardly anything! I began to wonder if she was getting any hair to come out at all! To my surprise it's one of the cleanest and most thorough waxes I've gotten. Wondering if I had a reason to be filled with endorphins, or if I had taken any pain meds before hand that would explain this magical lack of pain-- Nope. Guess they are just THAT good! I definitely have a new place for waxing!! Obvioulsy, I highly recommend this place.
Initially good, but very poor follow up by physician assistant – I went here initially because the botox was a reasonably priced. Everyone was friendly and the physician's assistant that did the botox injections was very professional. I loved the results! I called to return and then I called again..... and again..... no return call. I called 3-4 times without a return call. This appeared to be a really good way for them to demonstrate that they do not really value business, nor do they care if the professional they are contracting with is even returning calls. From a service perspective, not good. I am only gving my business because i have not had the time to research another place to get it done for prices that are comperable to the burbs. I had to prompt the workers to understand that it is not good to have someone that is performing procedures on people not even call you back. Maybe I will get a call back, but if past behavior is a predictor of future behavior.... Very disappointing to have such an initial good impression but then realize that I was not a valued customer. Average is not a good thing to be in the salon beauty industry, is it now?
Great spa/salon... amazing manicures, pedicures, massages, and facials – D'Bellagio Spa & Salon offers a little bit of sanctuary to the everyday person looking for an hour or so of peace and pampering. D'Bellagio offers a variety of services including long-lasting manicures and pedicures, threading and waxing, facials, massages, hair styling, botox, and teeth whitening. Each service is performed by trained and seasoned professionals to ensure satisfactory and healthy results.
Professional Teeth Whitening Service for only $299 (cheaper than my dentist) – I have been going this small quaint salon for years now and recently they added two new services. I was one of their first client to try out the professional teeth whitening service. It was amazingly quick, easy and painless. The result was truly noticeable and I highly recommend it to everyone. The salon is clean and relaxing unlike my dentist's office. A truly innovative idea.
Wonderful Experience – I brought my mother and sister here on Saturday for our nails and the service was outstanding. The manager is very thoughtful, he offered us bottled water and ask us what music we would like to hear - very personable. I highly suggest making an appointment because they are quite busy especially on the weekends.
Great Pedicures and Manicures – I have been to many nail salons in the city and this place would have to rank among the top 3. They are meticulous and hospitable and they sanitize the pedicure stations after every use. I don't mind paying a little bit more to know that the pedicure tub is disinfected adequately. They offer other services as well, but I haven't tried them yet and I am sure they're just as good.
My boyfriend gave me this massage and facial certificate for Valentine's Day. I was hesitant at first because I have never had anyone touch my face before. I was totally surprise how gentle and relaxing the facialist was during the service. It was kind of noisy during the massage, but they were remodeling one of the room. But I am defintely coming back for the BOTOX injections. Overall I give this salon two thumbs way up for its excellent service, cleanliness, and value.
Great Service – I was referred here for a facial by a friend which was awesome and I had a Brazillian too....The salon had a great atmosphere and everyone was really friendly . My Brazillian wax was perfect and the girl was very gentle, yet thorough and efficient . I felt very comfortable and my facial was sooo relaxing I fell asleep. They open late which is great for me as I work till 6 so I can go afterward...I look forward to returning!!!
Hands down, best customer service in Chicago – Love it!!!! Genuinely nice people and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this hidden treasure. Parking is difficult, but worth it.

Jamil Afridi, right, brother of a Pakistani doctor Shakil Afridi speaks at a news conference in Peshawar, Pakistan, on Monday.
PESHAWAR, Pakistan – The brother of the Pakistani doctor imprisoned for helping the CIA to track Osama bin Laden says the family needs protection, and the U.S. government should provide it.
Jamil Afridi, elder brother to Dr. Shakil Afridi, spoke to NBC News on Monday in Peshawar, after he and his lawyers addressed a group of journalists about his brother's case.
Pakistan jails doctor who helped CIA track down bin Laden
"My appeal to the U.S. government is that they give Dr. Shakil protection, and give us – his brothers and sisters – protection as well," said Afridi. "We have no protection here."
Dr. Shakil Afridi was arrested in the weeks after the May 2011 U.S. raid on the bin Laden compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The doctor ran a fake vaccination campaign for U.S. intelligence as part of an attempt to get inside the compound and confirm Bin Laden's location. Though those plans failed, U.S. officials have said Dr. Afridi's efforts did help lead them to bin Laden.
Reuters TV / Reuters
Pakistani doctor Shakil Afridi was jailed for 33 years.
Dr. Afridi was tried under a legal system known as the Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR), which applies only in Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal areas. Trials are conducted by a local government official in consultation with tribal elders, and the accused are not allowed legal representation. Dr. Afridi was convicted on treason charges and sentenced to 33 years in prison.
His brother dismissed the charges against Dr. Afridi as "false," saying he did nothing against Pakistan's national interest, and that "anything" could happen to him or his family now.
'Schizophrenic ally': US to ax $33 million in Pakistan aid?
"For one whole year, we had no idea where he was – whether he was alive or dead," said Afridi. "Now they say he's in Central Jail, Peshawar, but we're not allowed to see him."
Dr. Afridi's conviction further complicated already tense relations between the U.S. and Pakistan. U.S. officials demanded his release, claiming his efforts helped to capture an enemy to both Pakistan and the U.S. But Pakistani officials have called Dr. Afridi's decision to work for a foreign intelligence agency a "serious offense."
Muhammed Muheisen / AP
Images of daily life, political pursuits, religious rites and deadly violence.
U.S. officials say they expect to continue the conversation about Dr. Afridi with their Pakistani counterparts, but the list of unresolved issues between the two countries continues to grow.
Both sides are negotiating the re-opening of the overland NATO supply routes that run through Pakistan – shuttered since last November – and the Pakistan government also is calling for a complete halt on all U.S. drone strikes within the country. In the last week alone, there have been four strikes carried out in the border region with Afghanistan.

Since About 1pm yesterday we started noticing some tech issues on our phoneline and internet, mainly the phoneline with skytalk was becoming crackly and subsequently got worse to the point now where there isn't a dialtone just a lot of crackling.
We've tried changing all microfilters, disconnecting everything but the phone and lastly using just a wired phone directly into the Master Socket (removed the screw and used the internal one) at all stages the problem has remained unchanged. The broadband is working although performance seems poorer, but if attempting to use the phone it completely cuts out (incoming and outgoing calls).
As have no phoneline now cannot call ont he skyline to report the issue either. Our postcode is NG9, (0115 area code) are there any issues in this area or can this be raised to invesitigate?
This message has been solved! Go to the solution

Have also been through the skyhelp troubleshooter have tested as above and other bits aren't relevent.
on 27-11-2011 11:53 AM
Hi Roh1,
Welcome to the Sky Help Forum, there are currently no reported issues in the Nottingham area, I appreciate that you have already perform troubleshooting to rule out your own equipment, can you tell us if you have a test socket (see picture below) can you connect to this and let us know if you still have no dial tone?
I'd also recommend trying a different phone handset (corded preferabbly and not one from the same set of cordless phones) before contacting our Customer Help team if this is the case to report the issue for further investigation.

Hi Robert
As above have used the Test Socket with 2 different Wired Phones, neither made any difference implying ther eis no incoming connection. Im also unable to contact the customer help team by phone due to the phonelinw not working.
on 28-11-2011 09:52 AM
Hi Roh1,
Thanks for trying that out and getting back to us. So we can get this looked at right away, If possible are you able to contact us using an alternative landline or mobile? If this is the case, one of my colleagues will be more than happy to ring you back right away to save credit/allowance.
Again, we'd love to know how you get on. Keep us updated.
on 28-11-2011 01:39 PM
Hi Roh1,
I am in Oxford and having exactly the same problems as you described but for about 2 weeks now. I haven't got as far a testing/changing microfilters and now I probably won't bother. I am just about to call SKY and see what they can do...if I can get through.
on 06-12-2011 09:41 AM
i am from ng20 and also have the same problem with outgoing and incoming calls, does anyone at sky really want us to pay for services we cannot use, because i dont.
on 06-12-2011 09:51 AM

I have been having similar issues with my phone line i.e. . Painfully load crackling on the line, slow internet access and occasional dropped line. Some days are worse than others and some calls are worse than others. I live in DE56 postcode area so not convinced this has anything to do with the Nottingham exchange. I have tried changing the line filter but do not have a spare phone (chorded or otherwise) to try. Bit of a co-incidence that so many handsets should be causing problems all at the same time.
on 13-12-2011 01:28 PM
Hi John95,
Sorry for the delay in responding to you
Are you still experiencing that same issue today?
If so, have you connected your phone directly ino your test socket with no other devices connected?
Let me know,
Many thanks,

Thanks for taking the time to join the Help Forum.
Are you able to try all the steps from the Sky Help Centre to see if there is a problem inside your property?

That is exactly what I am waiting for! I've written him lots. I get apologies and how he is "working" on himself, but he finally said this weekend that he wants to read and re-read my emails and write a "thoughtful" response. I often write to him because 1) he doesn't live here and I don't want to be "fighting" or discussing when the kids are around and 2) I like having the time to really edit my messages and take the emotionally-charged stuff out and 3) yes, I'm highly conflict-avoidant. (I'm hoping that putting my thoughts and feelings in writing often will help bring me to a point where I am ready and better able to communicate in person without breaking down and being unproductive).
I gave him a bit of the cold-shoulder last night when he visited, not to be passive aggressive, but I just can't protect myself against the hurt right now. He came up to me, patted my shoulder, and said, "I'm sorry I've been so busy these last couple days with work. I'm not ignoring your emails. I'm going to spend some time over the next few days reading them carefully and writing back to you."
The 2 businesses he runs are in the tank right now (really truly awful) due to current US policy on energy. He's had to let 30% of his people go and has remaining working on odd maintenance jobs while they wait for more work to come in. It is majorly stressful and I'm trying to be accommodating and patient. He has a conference call in minutes with the other 3 owners of the business...
This all couldn't have happened at a worse time. I know that's not my fault, it's his, but it just makes it that much harder.
My WH made OW out to be queen of her own little realm where she ruled all her subjects with immense beauty and grace with an IQ of 300 and tricks in bed that would make a man's head spin.
Then he had to start acknowledging to himself that I was better looking, better built, better in bed, classier, a better mother, etc. etc. etc.
He still holds to the fact that she is faultless however.
"She's a hard worker to provide for her kids" is his latest. No kidding dipwad - so was I when I was a single mother. Working hard is the difference between survival and living life - show me one single mother that ISN'T working(barring the independently wealthy and those living off their CS, alimony, perhaps welfare, but that's a stereotype that I don't particularly care to perpetuate). OMG, infuriates me.
He will NEVER see the faults in her I'm afraid, and I believe it is truly important that he realize she is not perfect for him to knock her off the pedestal he's built for her in his mind.
He still holds to the fact that she is faultless however
O yea - I got this too. She did nothing wrong.
Plus, a whole bunch of other highly complimentary stuff. Apparently faultless.
I really felt I needed her knocked off the pedestal too & spent way too much time comparing myself to OW because of it.
Post-separation, however, he will admit she is a loser for having stayed in a relationship like that for so long.
Thank you Captain Obvious!
That just hurts to hear. I'm sorry. It's like the OWs are magical until you see their tricks and know they had to use them to entice a married man. They are not better than us!
My WH made OW out to be queen of her own little realm where she ruled all her subjects with immense beauty and grace with an IQ of 300 and tricks in bed that would make a man's head spin.
This^^^. Oh yes. This. Very hard not to succumb to feelings of inferiority, inadequacy, when faced with this "perfection". I can see she's not perfect. Why can't he?
I so badly want her knocked off her stupid pedestal. I've found though, that if anyone tries to do it, WH just protects that pedestal like a rabid bulldog. Seriously, WTF?
Somehow, I keep hoping that in time, he will finally give that pedestal a little shake on his own... or perhaps just inadvertantly bump into it and watch it fall... Is this a fantasy on my part?
Am I foolishly trying to climb on my own pedestal and hoping he's notice? Good Lord. I am carried away with analogies today...
This of course could mean many things - all depending on the particular situation.
We have no idea as to what our WSs truly said to their APs. You have read here at SI many of the kinds of lies told. On one level I do think the OM/OW is faultless - they promised nothing to you. They did not break YOUR vows. The only kind of fault and flaws I was interested in having my WW see in her OM was in relation to her seeing who him for who really was, i.e. ending the fantasy.
Hell, there are some cheaters that tell their APs that they are single, or separated, or haven't had sex in 10 years, or are abuse victims, etc., all lies to get what they want. So I would say that yes there are some APs who are faultless, and then there are some that a evil predators, and all the shades in between.
I want to respond to the monkey-sex desire on the part of one of the WHs, will have to do that later. Time constrained today a bit for now.
Happy Wednesday all!!

The only kind of fault and flaws I was interested in having my WW see in her OM was in relation to her seeing who him for who really was, i.e. ending the fantasy.
MC Jack - you are right that I see some faultless OM/OW stories on SI but rarely do I with LTA's. I can fully understand the ONS or short A situations where they were lied to themselves and didn't know the real facts. But to go years and years like in these LTA's - I would say rarely are they faultless.
Do did the OM/OW make promises to me? No. Does the OM/OW owe me anything? even an apology? No. That still doesn't mean they are faultless.
I see them in the opposite light, they are full of fault. Yes my WS is who I need to focus my attention on - but I put a great about of blame, fault & anger towards the OM. Do onto others as you would like done to you is a basic code we all live by and they violated this over and over again.
Until the OM or OW do the hard work to make up for their mistakes in life, they are a simply a discusting part of society that seems to have little respect for other human beings. They are like a drug dealer, so self involved in their own self interests that they don't give a crap how they may harm others. Just because there are lots of drug dealers or OM/OW that if it wasnt them it would be someone else doesn't make them innocent.
But to go years and years like in these LTA's - I would say rarely are they faultless.
Of course, we are talking in generalities. And I did not have LTAs in mind specifically. I did meet a lady last year who was the OW for 2 years (long-distance) and did not know that her 'bf' was married. But your point is well taken by all here.
That still doesn't mean they are faultless.
I agree in an absolute sense - but not really at fault in my immediate world. The drug dealer analogy is correct and if you look back several pages (and to my current bio) you will see that I use it.
Until the OM or OW do the hard work to make up for their mistakes in life, they are a simply a disgusting part of society that seems to have little respect for other human beings.
^^^yep. Glad I told the other BW. Looking the other way allows this shit to happen. I am so mad at the moral complacency of so many in society, including ICs. Still kinda bummed that she (I think) has very negative feelings for me. But that is my need for approval talking.
You got my overall point which was that we should be focused on the WS and their attitudes and beliefs. What they are doing (or not doing) to clean things up - which has nothing to do with the AP.

Yep - focus should be on our own WS.
Here is the thing that is my current struggle as I sit here a year out. I have heard "the don't concern yourself with the OM/OW speech" so many times that I wonder if I skipped a step in my own healing. I did just as we always say. But I still hold a lot of anger for OM1. I can't tell you the number of revenge plots that circle in my head still even a year out because they are too many to count. I fully understand he does not matter but in my case, I have never seen him, I have never talked to him, I dont know what he even looks like and I only know the city of where he now lives. This guy lives a very low profile, just about nothing online and he now lives a few states away. He now is married with kids.
This last year has been a lot of pain to process in my life for someone that seems more of a fantasy than real because I know nothing about him. I get the realities of the situation, I've read about other unsatisfying OM/OW encounters on SI, I know I should not expect much of anything from this person except more lies and deception. Half apologies are often a best case scenario. I still want to contact him and give him a piece of my mind. Other times one of my revenge plots seems like a better solution.
He will NEVER see the faults in her I'm afraid, and I believe it is truly important that he realize she is not perfect for him to knock her off the pedestal he's built for her in his mind.
That is not so important as the need for him to see the faults within himself. Until he can see them, he cannot own them. Until he owns his faults, he cannot change or fix them. Thus, he remains perfect on the pedestal he has created in his mind for himself. She was really just the mirror he used to admire himself on his pedestal.
I can see she's not perfect. Why can't he?
Because he cannot see, or is unwilling to acknowledge, his faults and imperfections. The OP was nothing special beyond a blank canvass willing to allow out our WS to paint on to them the picture of themselves our WS wanted to believe.
I think one of the benchmarks of a WS on the way to FWS and possible option for R is when he or she sees his or her true self in the A. Seeing his or her true self shatters the mirror the AP held, and the WS finally can see the former OP for what she or he really was and was not. It does no good to tell our WS to despise the OP, but when the WS does begin to despise the OP (especially if they see it without blaming shifting) it is a sign they are seeing reality.
My thought for the day:
There are no direct flights to R. Getting there requires many connections, often with extended layovers. Sometimes you may not even be on the same plane, and there is no certainty you will ever get there until you get there.

Well said, my friend, well said.
I know she planned most of their dates and trips. How do I know this? Because I'm the "social director" in our marriage too. My husband doesn't trust any man, but he believes that most women do little wrong. He doesn't understand the ability for women to be manipulative, etc. My WH was easy prey for her.
Then when she decided to leave her husband, she finally found a way to let me know of the affair without it looking like ot was her that told me. She blamed it on a "friend." Then she attacked me repeatedly via text, started allowing WH to introduce her to his family members below I even "officially" knew about the affair. Started inviting my teenage Stepdaughter (MY baby) to go shopping, etc.
So while I don't hold WH faultless, in my opinion OW holds a ton of blame too!
My WH made vows with me, but seriously? Be a woman, and find an available man!
I hold NOTHING, but contempt for most OW/OM - and that's saying something because I'm an OC myself!!!
Is that sort of like "no matter where you go there you are" ?
BTW. The frog legs were some my W split with some co-workers. I do not know where they came from. I used to gig, grab and sometimes just shoot them. Those fresh legs were better than the ones I had last week.
Ask him how he would feel about you if you went out and fucked (yes, use shocking, vulgar language, because that is what an affair is) some other man. For years. Would you be faultless? I would be interested in what his take would be on that.
Is he trying to claim since she was single she had no fault? Wasn't she married when it started?
Because she luuuuurrrrrrvvvvvveeeeeeddddd him so much? And, I mean, who can blame OW? He is really just something, ain't he?
eta: I missed the line in your above post saying OW was married then divorced. I thought I remembered that from a different post.

"Oh, why do my actions have consequences?" ~ Homer Simpson
"She knew my one weakness: That I'm weak!" ~ Homer Simpson
A faithful woman is a treasure. Real men want and appreciate that treasure. Any man who wouldn't want that, well, he isn't quality.
My WH pulls the "free pass" card. As in I get a free pass to have sex with someone else once - you know since he did.
He truly infuriates me. I'm dealing with said big head today. "My affair would have worked out if I had wanted it to." "I would have gotten passed the guilt. How would I have destroyed everyone's life?"
I'm getting stronger every day. I'm sitting on one job offer. Still have the potential for a second, and have two interviews tomorrow.
I'm going to blow him away with how amazing *I* am. Shame the two of them (especially him) aren't in the same league as me.

a year from now you will see this:
He doesn't understand the ability for women to be manipulative, etc. My WH was easy prey for her.
I get the rescuing - how do you rationalize reconciling with a heartless perpetrator. One that made lots of empty promises to an AP. Better to tell oneself a story that one's spouse was a 'victim' of a really clever, manipulative, mastermind predator. We all need to look at the truth to heal in the long run. Maybe in the end we do decide that our spouses were more the victim than not. Anyways, more opining.
Positive, do you not see the OW as doing you a huge favor by outing your WH?
This was your quote from your other thread:
I read an article the other day that said in affairs women want their AP to become reality and men want their affair partner to remain the fantasy.
I agree with that as a general statement. Responders to your post painted a picture of a delusional, desperate, screwed up woman. Sounds like someone deserving of, dare I say it...pity? What did your H say/do to enable this in order to get his illicit sex? In contrast your H sounds like a cold, heartless egotist.
You sound so much like you are on the upside of life right now. Interviewing successfully? I am impressed. Why do you want that guy? You might just be the bomb!
well, he isn't quality.
DAMN STRAIGHT. Good to see your making an appearance absent an ideological controversy.
ETA: Has anyone read "The Seducer" by Claudia Moscovici? I read it last year. Wondering if anyone else did as well.

Don't believe in Divorce...but he is the father of my children and at least he's still here right?
Nope. File. Time for tough love indeed. I was sorry to see what you wrote.
WH is starting to realize that I AM worth five of him and her put together - which I think is scaring him all the more. Good, he deserves to be shaken up a little.
Why do I want him - when he really isn't quality (Sister pegged that one!)? I want him because he USED to be a good man. Devoted, faithful, trying to put his cheating past behind him.
But while he didn't continue working on himself - I too let myself go for a very long time. I ballooned from 120 to 180 in a matter of months(of which I've lost 50 since DDay). I stopped being interesting in exchange for being nothing but a frumpy houeswife. My self-esteem plummeted, my self confidence disappeared.
I have ALL off that back now, and I'm never going to lose it again!
So why do I want him? Because I don't want to have to start over again by myself or with someone else. Because I still go weak in the knees when he looks at me and breathless when he kisses me. Because we are compatible and just different enough to keep things interesting. Because I don't want to lower mine or my children's standard of living.
But mostly because I don't want my children exposed to the OW. I think she is low quality trash, and I want my daughters surrounded by only positive examples of what ladies should be!!
OW was married. OW was/is a predator. She's also a groupie for the particular line of work that my husband is involved in (Social Media posts prior to their affair even beginning proves this theory!)
If in my case it does conclude that OW was the chaser/predator will she ever NOT pursue WH? Will she ever move on? She seems to have already done so because she wasn't getting what she wanted out of the situation (as well as the possibility that she was seeing someone else earlier this year behind WH's back). Which means WH was nothing more than a conquest, and I was nothing more than the competition/enemy. Just sick.

If you are going to install flex 99.5% of the way, why not run the flex those few final inches and go into the box with the swtich? The only thing I can see that would keep you from doing that is if the switch box is plastic. But if you can, I would run the flex all the way.
Now, there's two types of flex I envision you using. One is flex that already has the wires in it (commonly called BX, AC or MC). If you are going to use that, you will need a junction box to convert from the romex to your flex.
The other type, FMC, or flexible metal conduit, does not have any wires in it. You would technically not need a box to convert from one wiring method to another, but romex is not going to be easy to pull into it if you are going any considerable length. And the longer the run and more bends you have, the more difficult it will be to pull the NM in.
If I were given the above choices, I would prefer:
1: MC (with wires already installed) continuious between the two points.
2. MC to a j-box behind the switches if the MC cannot be connected to the switch box. A little more money and time, but insignificant compared to doing it wrong and have problems later.
3. FMC and struggle all day pulling the NM in.

Case Number # 7113
Tomato growers in Florida use so much irrigation water that it floods downstream lands and has killed thousands of acres of bottomland hardwoods. Earthjustice sued on behalf of a downstream nature center to force the farmers to contain their irrigation water.
In October 2008, Earthjustice won an appeal of this case. The Second District Court of Appeal in Lakeland decided that a trial court improperly dismissed the case on the theory that the water management district could not be required to stop the flooding.

SAT to drop essay requirement and return to top score of 1600 in redesign of admission test
The SAT college admission test will no longer require a timed essay, will dwell less on fancy vocabulary and will return to the familiar 1600-point scoring scale in a major overhaul intended to open doors to higher education for students who are now shut out.
The second redesign of the SAT this century, announced Wednesday, will take effect in early 2016, as today's ninth graders are sitting for their college admission tests.

Thanks for signing in! How can we help you today?
According to Google's disk failure experience report, just 36 percent of hard disk drive failures were experienced for reasons that cannot be identified through SMART disk monitoring. Data Center Knowledge said SMART monitoring systems use self-monitoring, analysis and reporting systems to identify if a hard disk drive is about to fail.
HDDs can fail in two ways — electronic and mechanical. SMART disk monitoring data can track mechanical failures. According to the report, hard disk drive mechanical failures are, to a certain extent, inevitable, because of the moving parts involved in making a hard disk drive work. An HDD features motors, spindles, platters and actuators that are all precisely aligned to make an HDD work. Over time, those components can begin to wear, causing the device's eventual failure. This is the type of failure that SMART monitoring can anticipate.
However, the report said SMART systems cannot anticipate electrical causes for failure. These issues can be created by broken capacitors, poor power regulation and problems connected to the firmware or power connection system. Since Google estimates approximately 36 percent of failures are not connected to smart monitoring, the report concludes 36 percent of HDD failures are related to electricity.
For a solid state disk drive, the same mechanical failures associated with HDDs are not possible. SDDs do not have any moving parts because they use flash memory. As a result, just 36 percent of HDD failure types are even relevant to SDDs. However, the report said the quality of the flash memory chip used in SSDs can have a drastic impact on their ability to run without failure.
Currently, the report said the SSD market is relatively young, and there is currently a great deal of variety in the quality of flash chips available. While leading manufacturers use high-quality chips in their SSDs, and send lower types of flash to be used in thumb drives and memory cards, growth in the entire market is not as consistent.
In many ways, this is reminiscent of where the HDD market was when that technology was young, the report said. About 15 years ago, HDDs were built with significant mechanical diversity, with high-end models proving reliable, but others being more risky. As a result, failure was more likely. Currently, the HDD market is sophisticated, and almost all devices are mechanically optimized, according to the report.
Overall, the report supports the theoretical advantage of SSDs because they will experience fewer opportunities to fail. As a result, the report estimates an SSD will have a 30 to 40 percent less chance of failing over a five year period than an HDD.
Because SSDs are relatively young in their product lifecycle, a high-capacity SDD is significantly more expensive than a similar HDD. However, many desktop computer users are taking advantage of the SSDs' reliability and speeds, while still using an HDD for primary storage. This can be achieved by upgrading your computer with a dual-hard drive configuration. In this instance, a lower capacity SSD is used as a boot drive. It will hold the operating systems and any other major applications that you use frequently. Other data, such as secondary applications and assorted files, get stored in the HDD where more space is available.

Curriculum vitae
Giovanni B. Crosta is presently professor at the University of Milano Bicocca, Italy. He collaborates with various universities and research institutes and participates to several european and international projects. He collaborated with various technical offices and local administrations both in Italy and abroad on landslide hazard and risk assessment.
Teaching and research activities are mainly focused on engineering geology subjects, soil and rock mechanics, landslide mapping, monitoring and modelling.
Research activities are presently focused on: triggering of shallow landslides, and definition of empirical and physically based thresholds, also with adoption of monitoring techniques for soil moisture content and changes; identification of the transition from slow to fast moving landslides and evaluation of displacement and velocity thresholds; characterization and modelling of long runout landslides (rock avalanches); monitoring and modelling of deep seated slope gravitational deformations; rock fall modelling and definition of hazard assessment procedures both at local and regional scale; geomorphological mapping for landslide susceptibility zonation; alluvial fan geomorphological description, classification and zonation.
He has been guest editor for some special issues on: Large slope instabilities (Engineering Geology, Elsevier), Rainfall triggered landslides (NHESS, EGU; Engineering Geology, Elsevier), Landslides and debris flows (NHESS; EGU).

text: There could be many possibilities. Some plastic checkvalves use a flexible rubber gate and hinge. After a fairly short time period, the rubber hinge hardens and/or the disc distorts, so it either cannot close, or seal if it does close. In addition, ALL backwater valves will fail if ANYTHING lodges in the opening so it cannot close tightly. You should only count on a backwater valve slowing the flooding down, and have a backup plan to deal with the water that does get by it. When I was in the Chicago area, we installed combination backwater valve and pump systems to take care of both problems.
